Soon after, Liu Jian, who had become a champion Hou, arrived in Yecheng.

This time, Liu Jian returned to Yecheng and brought his father, mother, and younger brother Liu Kang with him.

The family finally got together happily in Yecheng.

After Zheng Ci married into the Liu family, he did not show filial piety to Liu's father and mother for a few days, and soon accompanied Liu Jian to Beijing.

Now that she meets her in-laws again, the woman who became a wife at the beginning of the year is now a mother of two children.

plus Bian Yuer's two children, a total of two boys, two girls and four children, only Liu Zhou and Hu Shile are enough.

The old couple revolves around the four children almost every day, hugging this for a while, coaxing that for a while, it is really a blissful and enjoyable family.

And Liu Bei saw that Liu Jian's family was so close, and also proposed to send his wife and children to Yecheng to reunite with his mother.

This was a big surprise to Liu Jian.

"My sister-in-law is taking care of my brother in Qingzhou, why do you want her and the child to come back to Yecheng?"

Liu Bei took a watery peach from the fruit bowl on the table, put it in his mouth and took a hard bite.

"Click, click."

"To be honest, Qingzhou is still a little close to the front line, so I don't feel at ease to let my wife and children be there with me! Placing them in the hinterland of Jizhou can be described as layers of barrier protection, even if I have something to do on the front line in the future, I can't worry about having no queen at home, besides, my mother and uncle and aunt are here, can I have more family to take care of, right? ”

After that, Liu Bei quickly took a few more bites and gnawed the peach cleanly.

"Man, if you want to build a great career outside, you have to have a stable rear, right?"

Liu Jian smiled: "What you said really moved me...... Don't let the peach pits go? ”

While eating, Liu Bei looked at the peach pit that Mei was thrown on the table by himself, and said strangely: "Where to put it?" ”

"Trash cans."

Liu Jian stretched out his hand and pointed to a small cylindrical copper bowl next to Liu Bei.

"What a novelty......"

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to throw the peach pit in the trash can, and said with a smile: "After this has a mine, it is indeed different, dare to use copper to make this, replace it with the original, won't my uncle discount your legs?" ”

"Less nonsense." Liu Jian rolled his eyes: "Hurry back to Qingzhou and send your wife and children over!" ”

"Don't rush me, I've just been in Yecheng for a few days, and you won't allow me to get together with my mother for a few days, so I'll be driven away again......"

Liu Jian sighed: "The main thing is that you are really not doing your job here, you don't do anything for a day, just wandering around the streets...... I heard you bought a lot of furniture yesterday? ”

"Hey!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei slapped the table and said: "To be honest, I don't know where you kid got so many ideas, this workshop craftsman in Jizhou can not only build houses, roads, bridges, but also make fancy furniture, hey!" Just this recliner, I got three handfuls in the furniture store in Yecheng this time and brought them back, shaking them in turns, and shaking for ten years is enough to shake. ”

Liu Jian sighed: "You are really ...... The wind of extravagance is unabated. ”

Liu Bei was not convinced: "You are still embarrassed to say that I am a child, you have been shaking on the recliner every day in the courtyard of Zhuo County for seven or eight years, and now you are saying that I am extravagant?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Jian laughed: "If you want, tell me directly, don't say it's a recliner, what tables, stools, horses, wardrobes, chairs, I can give you a big set!" ”

Liu Bei is quite arrogant: "No need, I am also a state pastor now, and I am not short of money." ”

"I sent someone to Qingzhou a sample of the loom before, Liu Bo'an can see it?"

"Naturally, I watched it! The efficiency is very high, and now it has been popularized in Qingzhou, and the output of Qingzhou brocade has increased by nearly fifty percent compared with last year! And it is still in demand, especially to Xuzhou and Huaidi to transport the most, now the East China Sea Mi clan has been with us on the line, they have a wide range of channels in the south, just through their family, it is enough to sell sixty percent of Qingzhou's Qingjin! ”

"The Mi family of the East China Sea?"

Liu Jian muttered slowly: "I've heard that the rich rival the country, everyone's great cause, is a very famous Haoyou family in Xuzhou." ”

"Exactly, but the appetite of the Mi family is too big, although our Qingzhou brocade is now doubling its production, but the extra rolls, most of them are still acquired by the Mi family, Liu Bo'an means that if Qingzhou brocade is widely distributed in the world, not a single channel, and the next year will have to reduce the share of the Mi family, and expand more other families."

"Hahahaha!"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu Jianle couldn't do it: "I don't want to, Liu Bo'an's vision is so long-term, I don't think this state pastor is suitable for him, if he is allowed to do business, within 20 years, he will be able to become the richest man in the world!" ”

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Liu Boan is indeed a master in this way. ”

"However, Brother Annoyance brought me a message to Liu Bo'an, and asked him not to block the amount of Qingzhou brocade purchased by the Mi clan in the East China Sea for the time being, at least in the last two years, although this somewhat violates some business rules."

Liu Bei was surprised when he heard this: "Why is this so? ”

Liu Jian didn't hide anything from Liu Bei, and then explained to him: "Brother, do you know why I want to set up the Hebei Business and Trade Association led by the Pastoral Department? ”

"Why?"

"It is to put the important resources and industries within the jurisdiction in the hands of the state dominated by the government office, such as the minerals in Youzhou, as well as the brocade and printing industry in Qingzhou."

"It's not that I'm selfish and narrow-minded, and I'm unwilling to benefit the people, but some key industries, once they flow to the people, will not benefit most of the Li Shu, and in the end they will still be monopolized by a few people, and once a few people monopolize the industries related to the people's livelihood and national fortune, then these people can be above the country, and they can rely on the scarce resources in their hands to blackmail the state to change the decree for them, set up new regulations, so that the resources in the hands of the civilian Li Shu are more concentrated in their hands...... As a member of the imperial court and as the head of a place, I must not allow any family to monopolize industries that are related to the fortunes of the country and the people's livelihood. ”

Liu Bei had a slight understanding, but he suddenly thought of something.

"Now Qingzhou brocade is popular in Xuzhou and Jiangnan, sought after by scholars, its value even exceeds the five baht coin, and soon, Qingzhou brocade will inevitably become a hard pass for the people of the southeast states!"

"This hard currency, in our Hebei, is operated by the government and the government, but outside of Hebei, it can make a certain family huge in an instant, like the land of Xuzhou, Tao Qian is old, if the Mi family sits on the big ......"

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Jian coughed softly.

"Brother, why is your heart so black? I've never said that. ”

Liu Bei's face flushed when he heard this.

Naigong's ...... How did this become my heart black?

At this moment, I saw a guard hurriedly walking towards Liu Jian.

"My lord, the front-line spies reported that there are two waves of messengers, one from the west and the other from the south, who have arrived at the nearest Yishe in southern Hebei, and have already delivered the floating message to the local county office."

Liu Jian asked, "Which two ways are they?" ”

"Chang'an envoy Qin Yi all the way. It is said that Ma Riyan, the captain of the shooting sound, accompanied him, and Song Zhong from Jingzhou. ”

Liu Jian had a little headache when he heard this.

He waved his hand to let the messenger go first, and let out a casual sigh.

Liu Bei picked up a peach on the table again and asked, "Deran, what's wrong?" ”

"It's coming for King Chen Liu, it must be Yuan Shao and Yang Biao from Chang'an who are ventilated, and they want to persuade me to support King Chen Liu."

"What are you afraid of, just drive them away! Do you have to see it? ”

Liu Jian sighed: "If you want to see them, you can't tear your face with them right now, at least let them feel that it is feasible for me to support Chen Liuwang, but I can't stand ......."

"It's so tiring to live." Liu Bei said very honestly while eating peaches.

"Thank you." Liu Jian replied dryly.

Then, he stood up, came to Liu Bei, picked up a big peach, and took a bite hard.

The two brothers were "clicking" in the hall together.

"This time, they are all in their hearts, and Yang Biao doesn't know what means to use, but he can persuade Ma Riyan to accompany him, and at the same time, he can't arouse the suspicion of the Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo, that Ma Riyan is a member of Master Lu's family, and he is considered to be your uncle and uncle, and it is not good to lose face."

"There is also that Song Zhong, who is the great Confucian of Nanyang Zhangling, and I heard that he wrote nine volumes of "Taixuan Jing Notes", ten volumes of "Zhou Yi Notes", and thirteen volumes of "Fayan Notes".

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and said, "So what? ”

Liu Jian sighed: "The key, he is also a great Confucian who understands both ancient and modern scriptures!" Like my father-in-law, I heard that when he was teaching and teaching on weekdays, he had many initiatives to list the ancient and modern texts in the official school, and he was a rare Confucian scholar who was fluent in both ancient and modern literature, although his reputation was not as good as my father-in-law, but the world also had many actions to juxtapose the two of them, as the saying goes, Zheng Xuan in the north, Zhong in the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"Now my father-in-law's Zheng Xue integrates the study of ancient and modern literature, flourishing in the two Confucian forests, I am the son-in-law of Zheng Men, and therefore more respected by the people in Shilin, if I treat Song Zhong coldly and spread it, it is easy to be passed on by people with a heart that my Zheng students can not tolerate things, which is somewhat inappropriate."

Liu Bei sighed: "You are so tired." ”

"What then? Can you help me think of a way not to get tired? ”

Liu Bei threw the peach pit into the trash can and said, "Simple! You pretended to be sick, and I met them on your behalf and sent them away for you, how about it? ”

"Pretending to be sick? It's not impossible, but I expect them to come with a big gift......"

Liu Bei said impatiently: "Hey, it doesn't matter! I'll decide for myself, and I'll help you see what kind of gifts they are, whether you want to keep them, you still can't trust me? ”

Liu Jian thought for a while, and then said: "That's fine." ”
