"The respected teacher is Taiwei Li?"

Liu Zhi was taken aback, he had never met this famous old man, and speaking of which, his deposition had nothing to do with him.

"Liu Langjun knows the family teacher?"

Dong Ban saw that his expression was different, and he thought that the two were old acquaintances.

Liu Zhi shook his head, "I've heard of the big name for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to see it." ”

This Liu Zhicai is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so it is naturally impossible for him to enter the court, even if he is from a rich background, it is normal that he has never seen Li Gu.

"The teacher and the student are open-minded, and now they are determined to do learning, and they plan to ignore the world, but those of us who are disciples are very upset about him."

Dong Ban's face was full of grief and indignation, and he slapped the table suddenly, "The Han world has lost this pillar of optimism, and in the future, there will only be some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and only promises, how worried?" ”

Liu Zhi was startled, and quietly glanced at Tang Heng, but seeing that his expression was as usual, he couldn't help but feel worried, this Dong Ban is a good person, but he just complained a little after drinking.

In case he secretly told Liang Ji to the ears, with the general's temperament of revenge, Dong Ban would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

will even affect Li Gu, who is idle at home.

It is estimated that in Liang Ji's heart, Li Gu is the person he hates the most in his life, not only has he opposed him everywhere for many years, but also scolded him in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, making him lose face.

Even if he is dismissed now, I am afraid that there is still residual hatred in his heart, and with the protection of Empress Dowager Liang, he does not dare to do anything to him for the time being.

But once he finds an excuse, he will definitely not hesitate to take action and put Li Gu to death.

"Let's not talk about those worries, let's have a drink."

Liu Zhi deliberately diverted the topic, "I wonder if Brother Dong has any intention of staying when he comes to the capital this time?" ”

Dong Ban just casually expressed it, and when he heard the question, he shook his head embarrassedly.

"I'm ashamed, I don't have any skills, even if I want to stay, I can't find a living to make a living."

Listening to his tone, he still wanted to stay with his teacher, but he didn't have a suitable job, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his teacher.

Liu Zhi intended to make friends with him, and said with a smile: "I intend to open a shop in Chengguo, if Brother Dong doesn't dislike it, I can be a shopkeeper." ”

Dong Ban looked at him in surprise, "I understand Brother Liu's kindness, but I don't know how to operate at all, and it will delay your business when the time comes." ”

"I run a second-hand book shop, which collects some old bamboo slips, rents them to others to see, and sells some cheap pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.

The profit is not high, but I just want to make those poor readers afford to read books. ”

As soon as he said this, Dong Ban felt that he was high-spirited and bright, and he couldn't help but be in awe.

"What this shop wants is someone who knows how to read and write, I see that Brother Dong is a humble gentleman, honest and reliable, so I want you to help, and I don't mean to be kind to you."

In this era, the farmers and businessmen, and the scholars all have a natural sense of superiority, and most of them look down on lowly merchants.

Liu Zhi saw that he and Fan Chao were intimate, without any discrimination, so he tried to speak.

If you meet a scholar with an old-fashioned personality, you think you are insulting him.

Sure enough, Dong Ban seemed to be a little moved, but he just looked at Lu Feng next to him and hesitated a little.

Liu Zhi can't do anything else, but he is a good hand at observing words and feelings.

immediately smiled, "I think Brother Lu seems to be good, if you want, I want to hire you as a guard." ”

Before Lu Feng could say anything, Dong Ban had already answered for him, "Thank you, Brother Liu, he is naturally willing." ”

As he spoke, he quietly turned Lu Feng with his elbow, and the latter arched his hand helplessly, "Thank you." ”

Seeing that they all agreed, Liu Zhi immediately smiled, he did have the intention to recruit some of his own people.

But what he values more is the character of these two, a teacher who traveled thousands of miles to visit the lost teacher during the Chinese New Year.

The other went crazy with his friends without complaint. Once such a person approves of you, he will be absolutely loyal.

The people around him either made it clear that it was arranged by the Queen Mother and the general, or they were at both ends of the head and the mouse, left and right.

What is most lacking is someone who is loyal to him.

Liu Zhi himself didn't expect that he would have such an adventure when he came out to play for the first time.

Since you have recruited people, you have to arrange them properly, Liu Zhi arched his hand and said to Fan Chao, "Brother Fan is familiar with Chengguo, can you please help find a suitable store?" ”

Dong Ban and Lu Feng are both newcomers, so they are naturally blinded, but Fan Chao is a local and friends with him, so it is perfect for him to help.

Fan Chao is bold by nature, although he and Liu Zhi have only met for a meal, they feel that this noble son is very righteous.

Immediately patted his chest without hesitation, "It's okay, it's on me." ”

Liu Zhi immediately threw out a piece of broken gold, "This is used as a deposit for the store, and I will buy some wine and meat for a few of you to eat." ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, silver had not yet entered the circulation market, and ordinary people used five-baht coins, while wealthy people used gold or silk.

The purchasing power of gold in this era is very strong, and it is the most bullish hard currency, and some ordinary civilians on this side of the city have never seen what gold looks like in their lives.

Fan Chao scratched his head embarrassedly, "No need for this, I still have some face here, just talk about a shop, where can I pay a deposit." ”

As he spoke, his face flushed slightly and lowered his head, "Moreover, my dog meat is actually only fifteen yuan a catty, and the money you gave just now is more than enough to buy wine and meat." ”

Only then did Liu Zhi know that Fan Chao, who looked honest and honest, turned out to be a shrewd businessman.

Seeing that he was a little uneasy, he smiled and said: "I don't blame you for this, I look like a gentleman, if I don't make my money, can I earn those poor neighbors?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the previous embarrassing atmosphere immediately disappeared.

For the past half a day, Tang Heng has been silently observing him, is this young man in front of him who talks and laughs freely and sways freely, really the timid and cowardly majesty in the palace?

Seeing that Liu Zhi was so bold and generous to speak, Qiu Lao Er was very envious next to him, and couldn't help but lean over with a shy face.

"Liu Langjun, see if there is anything suitable for me, and find me a job."

Fan Chao glared at him, "Go and go, what are you doing to make a fuss, Brother Dong and Brother Lu are both talented people, what else can you do except steal chickens and touch dogs?" ”

Liu Zhi looked at him, "Among your friends, are there any who have stolen skills?" ”

As soon as Qiu Lao Er heard the play, he agreed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I have a friend, who is very skilled, specializing in working in Lu Lane, for more than ten years, and he has never missed it." ”

Seeing that he said so wildly, Liu Zhi couldn't help but be a little curious, "Is it really so powerful?" Then I'll have to see it someday. ”

Qiu Lao Er already likes to brag, and when he sees that he likes it, he can blow it even better.

"When will Liu Langjun come next time, I will let him show his hand in front of you, and the keeper will not know it, so that you will be dumbfounded."

Liu Zhi smiled mysteriously, dangling a black and greasy head in his hand, "What you said is unaware, is it like this?" ”
