Chapter Twenty-Four: An Outstanding Actor of the Han Dynasty
After bidding farewell to Su Shuang, Liu Jian and Liu Bei returned home.
On the way, Liu Bei didn't speak, and he kept thinking about the right talent.
Liu Jian asked, "What's the doubt?" The younger brother is willing to solve it for the younger brother. ”
Liu Bei didn't appreciate it: "Don't say it to me, I can figure it out myself." ”
Hehe, it's pretty strong.
Okay, this is also a good thing, if he can really think diligently, his ideas and abilities have grown, and if he has something to do in the future, there will be more people to discuss.
The two were silent all the way, and just kept going home.
Immediately arrived at the door of Liu She's house, Liu Bei suddenly stopped, and his face also showed a look of understanding.
"I've figured it all out! But there are still subtleties that I don't understand. ”
Liu Jian didn't seem surprised: "Brother, try to speak." ”
"Although you, me, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong have their own strengths, but the financial resources in their hands are limited, we will have more places to make money in the future, and it will definitely not work without a financier, so you found Su Shuang!"
Liu Jian rolled his eyes: "How can he be called the gold master?" Isn't it a guest-host transposition when you call him that? Shall we still be under him? ”
"How should I call it?"
"Leek, do you continue?"
Liu Bei was stunned for a while, and it seemed that he was not very accustomed to the title of this leek.
Subsequently, he continued: "If Brother Gongsun reports the matter of Tanshi Huai to Uncle Fang, and the imperial court goes down to the fortress and mobilizes the soldiers of the counties, then the supply of this rear must keep up, grain, transporters, frames, ordnance, leather armor...... And then the most important thing is to recruit horses. ”
"Yes, brother said that the roots are up, horses! When the border army goes out, it must use horses, not only war horses, but also horses that carry heavy loads, Su Shuang is a horse merchant, and at this time he takes the initiative to step forward, which is his opportunity. ”
"But the problem is that the horses used to get out of the fortress are huge, and even if he has a family fortune, he is only the head of a county horse merchant, and even if he donates his family wealth, it is not enough."
"Well, that's where you don't understand?" Liu Jian's expression was quite helpless.
Liu Bei was not ashamed, and said solemnly: "Yes! ”
"He won't donate horses, even if he donates some, he won't go bankrupt, the businessman is profit-seeking by nature, and he won't do anything to harm himself, but don't forget, in addition to the horse merchant, he has another identity."
"What?"
"Wanderer!"
Liu Bei frowned, how is this different from Ma Shang?
Liu Jian said slowly: "Let me mention a few points to you, the horse markets in the northland counties are in the hands of the county lords, Su Shuang is a family in recent years, the foundation is not deep, but the business is doing well, not tolerated by the haoyou,"
"In terms of the imperial court, the current Lujiang rebellion is getting heavier, Youzhou is drought year after year, Xianbei Koubian is getting heavier, and there are fewer households,"
"As far as the immediate situation is concerned, Su Shuangying should be the first horse market to get the news, and he is clear of all the horse markets in various counties, and the layout in advance is certain."
When he said this, Liu Jian stretched out his hand and patted Liu Bei's shoulder: "With these three premises, if the army really goes out and I live with him in secret, what do you think Su Shuang will do?" ”
Liu Bei sighed.
"No wonder you say that he can be guaranteed for ten years, but he will ...... after ten years"
"Brother, can you guarantee that in ten years, you, me or him will definitely be alive?"
Liu Bei stared at him with wide eyes in surprise, but Liu Jian just shook his head and said with a smile:
"Let's go home."
……
That night, Gongsun Zhan's famous thorn was sent to Liu She again, indicating that he would come to visit him in the future.
The next day, Gongsun Chan and his entourage arrived, and this time he brought three more vehicles than the last time, and more than twice as many valuables such as wine, cloth, utensils, and horseshoe gold.
And this time, he completely lost the majesty he had when he came last time, Gongsun Zhan came in cloth clothes, saw Liu Zhou and Hu Shi, and was also very respectful, and did not put any county orders on the shelf.
In this way, on the contrary, Liu Zhou and his wife were at a loss, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Dare to ask Liu Gong, Ah Jian is here?"
Liu Zhou was a little caught off guard by Gongsun Zhan's humble attitude, and his mind was blank and he didn't answer immediately, and only after a while did he say:
"He's in the backyard cowshed."
"What are you doing in the cowshed?"
"Hmm...... Learn the words of the sages in the cowshed. ”
"Why did you study there?"
"He can't learn anything else."
"I see, I'm tired of Liu Gong to lead the way."
Liu Zhou didn't dare to slack off, he didn't know what Gongsun Chan had in mind, but he didn't dare to ask more, just led Gongsun Chan to the backyard.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in the backyard, he saw Gongsun Chan suddenly shout: "Wait! ”
Then, I saw him shouting at Yu Ze behind him: "Bring the things!" ”
Yu Ze hurriedly stepped forward, carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and when he opened it, there were one thorn after another inside.
"Tie me to my back!"
Yu Ze looked hesitant when he heard this.
No one thought that Gongsun Chan would come to the real place today, and he was going to come in public to make a confession.
Yu Ze hesitated: "County Jun, you don't have to be like this, right?" ”
Gongsun Zhan's attitude is very resolute: "A certain ignorant sage, put talents in the countryside and can't lift them, damage to the country, shame and landless, if you can't make up for your mistakes, real food is not willing to taste and can't sleep at night, you want to say more, just tie me up!" ”
Liu Zhou was shocked when he saw this, and he seemed to understand something in an instant.
Without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed Gongsun Zhan's sleeve and shouted.
"Where did Ming Ting's move leave my Liu family? That erector is doing nonsense, Ming Ting must not be as knowledgeable as him! The old man went in, took out the shaft and beat it, and then handed it over to Ming Ting for disposal! ”
After that, he saw that Liu Zhou turned around and was about to enter the hospital, but he didn't want to, but he was grabbed by Gongsun Zhan's sleeve.
"I don't know Xian, what do I have to do with Ling Lang? If Liu Gong blames Ling Lang, won't he trap me in injustice? Never! ”
Liu Zhou was about to cry when he heard this: "Ming Ting's behavior like this is really trapping the old man in injustice!" ”
Gongsun Zhan said awe-inspiringly: "This matter has nothing to do with the public, and the public should not dissuade it, if not!" Gongsun someone, he died under the threshold wall today! ”
Liu Zhou's tears seemed to be about to flow out, and he didn't know if it was for himself or for Gongsun Zhan's high righteousness.
For a moment, he really wanted to see if Gongsun Chan would really be killed, but he didn't dare.
The feather behind Gongsun Chan did not hesitate, and tied those thorns to Gongsun Chan's back one by one.
Most of the thorns have been pulled out and soaked in salt water to make them much less lethal.
But even so, Jing Tiao was carried on Gongsun Zhan's back, and he could still cause a lot of damage to him through his clothes.
These scenes outside the courtyard all fell into the eyes of the two young men of the Liu family in the courtyard at this moment.
Liu Jian sighed with emotion: "Tsk, this is a bit powerful, I thought it was just love, I never thought that there would really be a skin and flesh drama to watch, Brother Bo Gui must have practiced no less than seven or eight times in advance last night to have such a real effect." ”
Liu Bei sighed on the side: "It's all come to this point, why don't we go out yet?" ”
Liu Jian shook his head: "Wait a minute, Brother Gongsun has made it clear that it's not over yet, let's go out now, wouldn't it interrupt other people's train of thought, I'll talk about it later." ”
Liu Bei smiled: "Although it is pretentious, I have to say that Brother Gongsun has given you full face this time." ”
Liu Bei is right, Gongsun Zhan came to take the blame this time, and he was indeed full of sincerity.
Liu Jian and Liu Bei intended to enter the company through his way before, but he politely refused, and now they regret it urgently, so they naturally want to make some big moves to show their remorse.
Although his performance today is a bit out of line, he also fulfilled his promise to Liu Jian last time in the toilet of Liu's house - if Liu Jian wins the bet, his grandson Zhan will come to the door to apologize for his guilt.
Gongsun Chan has weaknesses in his character, but he also has the backbone of his heroic heroes in the north, and he will never fulfill his promises.
Of course, this is also because Liu Jian is indeed worthy of Gongsun Zhan.
With Gongsun Zhan's understanding of Xianbei and his political indignation, he clearly knew in his heart that now was a good time to make a name for himself and win a political and military future.
However, he also subconsciously knows that this matter is only the beginning at present, and it is not something that can be done by local counties simply trying to do it, and there are many things that need to be prepared in the early stage, and it will definitely involve many intertwined forces.
He can't be even-handed alone, he needs Liu Jian!
And Liu Jian also knew that if he participated in this major event through Gongsun Zhan, he would definitely become famous and completely open up the impasse in front of him and fight for a political future.
Therefore, he also needs Gongsun Zhan.
This is a matter of mutual benefit, and both sides must abandon their previous suspicions.
Of course, if you want to cooperate, then Gongsun Zhan's contempt for Liu Jian and others before, he must save face for the other party, which is not just a simple apology, but also a test of his sincerity.
Of course, not only Gongsun Zhan, but Liu Zhou Shicai's drama is also very well acted.
It can be said that outside the Liu family's cowshed, there are two actor-level figures standing at this moment.
The other two are still in the cowshed.
This is inevitable, in the political background of the Han Dynasty, everyone must be an actor-level figure in order to survive better.
