"Humph! In today's troubled times, these people from big families don't want to contribute to the country, but instead become vassals and elegant for a piece of paper, which is really hateful! ”

At the head of Jiangling City, looking at the continuous flow of carriages, horses, and people from all directions, a red-faced and long-bearded man beside Liu Chan suddenly couldn't help but squint coldly.

At this time, it has been more than a month since Liu Chan officially took over as the pastor of Jingzhou, and the new paper mill has already been completed and put into operation under the supervision of Zhao Yun and Mi Fang. After the addition of hydraulic dumpers instead of manpower to pulp making, the output of the entire paper mill was far greater than that of other paper mills in the same period.

Before that, Pang Tong had already fulfilled his previous 'gambling contract' with Liu Chan, using his own influence and the influence of the Pang family, the Huang family and other Jingzhou families to widely distribute the 'hero sticker' and organize a 'Lumen Literary Meeting' to promote this peerless paper renamed 'Ice Muscle'.

Therefore, during this period of time, not only the 'local' scholars and businessmen from Jingyi and Jingyi Prefectures have arrived, but even many businessmen from as far away as Xudu and Jianye have also heard of the news.

It's just that in the face of this favorable scene in Liu Chan's view, Guan Erye, who has always looked down on these big families, has recurred again with his 'old problem' and has become a little cynical.

"I said second uncle, don't, these people are the God of Wealth who sends us money and food! If we don't have these vassal and elegant people, who will we sell our ice muscle paper to? Haha......"

didn't care at all about the disdainful attitude of the genuine 'God of Martial Wealth' beside him, but Liu Chan looked at the moving 'money and food bags' under the city tower with a smile on his face.

Speaking of which, Liu Chan is not hopeful that this cultural meeting can attract real talents, after all, how can real talents be so 'cheap'? Therefore, his attention was focused on how much grain he could sell this time.

Therefore, he attaches much more importance to these moving 'money and food packages' than Guan Erye. Not only did they temporarily vacate a lot of guest houses in the city, but they also sent a large number of soldiers to maintain order.

There is no way, people are poor and short-minded, and horses are thin and long-haired. Who called the current half of Jingzhou poor, the war is about logistics, and what can be done without 'money and food' to dominate the world?

……

"The subordinate has seen the prime minister, but I don't know what the prime minister ordered the subordinate to come?"

Just when Liu Chan was rejoicing at the arrival of the 'money and grain packages', Cao Cao, who was far away in the camp of Cao's army in Hanzhong, who seemed a lot more relaxed because of Zhang Lu's surrender, suddenly ordered to summon Wang Cang, who was a servant.

"Zhongxuan, take a look!"

Without answering the other party's inquiry, Cao Cao handed him a beautifully framed invitation.

"Prime Minister Rong Bing, Xia Guan...... The lower officials are wronged! ”

After taking the invitation card handed over by Cao Cao with some doubts, he only glanced at it hurriedly, Wang Cang suddenly couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and knelt down to the ground as soon as his legs were weak.

No way, who told him to surrender from Jingzhou in the first place? And with Cao Cao's increasing authority and power in recent years, this suspicion is getting more and more serious.

Therefore, for fear that Cao Cao would misunderstand, the middle-aged scribe could not care about the usual celebrity demeanor, and it was important to save his life first!

"Haha, it's just Han Sui's tooth wisdom between the books, Zhong Xuan don't worry"

After seeing Wang Cang's frightened look, Cao Cao, who was laughing a lot, helped him up.

It turned out that on this invitation from Jingzhou to invite Wang Cang to participate in the literary meeting, there were many vague things that made people wonder at a glance, so Wang Cang, who was worried that he couldn't explain clearly, was naturally frightened.

"Gu is looking for you, just to let Ruqian send an envoy to Jingzhou to take a look at the situation of this 'Lumen Wenhui' for Gu......"

In the end, without waiting for Wang Cang to speak, Cao Cao smiled again.

"Prime Minister, now that Lumen Mountain is in the hands of the Prime Minister, a group of vassal and elegant people hold the Lumen Cultural Conference in Jiangling, isn't it pleasant and generous? Such a child's play......"

Hearing that Cao Cao wanted him to go to Jingzhou to participate in this Lumen meeting, Wang Cang, who finally relaxed a little, couldn't help but shake his head with disdain.

"Zhong Xuan should take a trip for Gu, and by the way, I will also help Gu to see what the Nagasaka outcast rescued from Zhao Zilong's army in the past is capable of, and it actually makes Liu Da'er ......"

Just when Wang Cang wanted to refuse, he didn't expect Cao Cao to change his words and turn the task of his trip into finding out the details of Liu Chan.

"Prime Minister, that Liu Chan is just a yellow-mouthed child, how can He De serve as the pastor of a state? According to the lower officials, Liu Xuande's move is just a means to appease the martial arts, and by the way, it is just an endorsement for Guan Yunchang to defend Jingzhou......"

Hearing that Cao Cao asked him to inquire about Liu Chan, who had just been played by Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou not long ago, Wang Cang, who was completely relieved, thought about it for a while, and then gave his own opinion.

"Liu Xuande's hero will never be untargeted. Zhong Xuan must not despise ......"

Seeing that the middle-aged scribe didn't take Liu Chan to heart, Cao Cao shook his head a little solemnly.

"Don't worry, the prime minister, if you go, you will definitely find out the situation of Liu Adou!"

Seeing Cao Cao's solemn face, the middle-aged scribe didn't dare to argue anymore, so he immediately hugged his fists and agreed.

"If my son Cangshu is still here, how can I make the district chief Ban abandoned children to be beautiful......"

After the middle-aged scribe left, Cao Cao in the handsome tent sighed a little sadly.

……

"You all tell me, why did Liu Bei hand over Jingzhou to a yellow-mouthed child? Could it be that there is some conspiracy? ”

Just when Cao Cao sent Wang Cang to Jingzhou to inquire about Liu Chan, the new pastor of Jingzhou, in the name of participating in the cultural meeting, Sun Quan, who had just consolidated the title of 'Sun 100,000' in Hefei again, was also puzzled by this news.

You must know that Liu Chan has been in Jiangdong for three years, and he is very familiar with this 'nephew'.

In his opinion, although Liu Bei can be called the hero of the world, Liu Chan is just a mediocre child with the posture of a Chinese person.

But now, Liu Bei has handed over such an important place in Jingzhou to such a mediocre child.

Therefore, Sun Quan, who had just suffered a defeat in Hefei, coupled with the previous sneak attack on the four counties of Jingnan, was a thief, so at this moment, it is natural to worry about whether Liu Bei's move has the intention of making a move against Jiangdong.

"Supreme, the last general thinks that no matter what reason the big-eared thief handed over Jingzhou to a small child, but at this moment it is a great opportunity for us to seize Jingzhou......"

In the face of Sun Quan's inquiry, among the civil and military forces, Lu Meng, who was the left protector, was the first to stand up. However, he did not answer Sun Quan's question, but put forward a proposal to take the opportunity to send troops to capture Jingzhou again.

"Oh? Ziming might as well talk about it, where is this opportunity? ”

Sun Quan, who had always been obsessed with Jingzhou, couldn't help but light up at this moment after being tickled by Lu Mengmeng, and looked over with a look of antiquity after temporarily letting go of the doubts in his heart.
