Chapter 101

Wang Qiang came to Huang's shipyard with Liu Jing today, and he was greatly shocked. He never expected that Liu Jing, a layman, would order fifteen boats in one go, and three of them were huge. Ships, and according to the meaning revealed in his words, the number of ships will continue to increase in the future.

He absolutely doesn't believe in nonsense such as running Jiaozhou and selling goods from north to south, but it's not enough to say that Liu Jing has a different heart. Now Zhang Xian is sitting in Jingnan, with more than a hundred buildings, warships, and fighting ships under his command, and tens of thousands of armor. The foundation is solid, Liu Jing will only have crazy thoughts unless he is crazy.

Wang Qiang was thinking wildly in his mind, when he suddenly heard the conversation between Liu Jing and Liu Zhu, will all the fifteen boats be handed over to Liu Zhu?

The time Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu have been in contact with is not too short. He knows that he is a man with a lot of power and scheming, but he knows nothing about water affairs.

Wang Qiang thought his chance had come.

Sure enough, Liu Jing pointed at him and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just learn slowly. Besides, didn't I find you a helper?"

Wang Qiang said without hesitation: "Liu Jun has the grace to save the villain's life. The villain only hates himself for being incompetent and has no chance to repay Liu Jun's kindness. Now Liu Jun does not regard the villain as despicable and entrusts him with a heavy responsibility. The villain will surely Do your best to assist Liu Wenxiu and not disappoint Liu Jun."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Zijian has already said that, Wenxiu, don't hesitate any longer."

Liu Zhu glanced at Wang Qiang and clasped his fists in agreement.

Liu Jing nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Ma Zhou. Before he could speak, Ma Zhou said awkwardly, "Liu Jun, I'm not good at water, so I can't get on a boat."

Liu Jing smiled wryly and shook his head. He only recently found out about this. As a native of Jingnan, Ma Zhou is actually a landlubber, which is as ridiculous as the Huns who can't ride horses.

But Liu Jing didn't intend to let Ma Zhou board the boat.He already had a plan in his heart, maybe Ma Zhou didn't want to be Cai Sheng's subordinate because of face, but this matter can't be left to him.

Liu Jing sought the post of Sima in another ministry for Cai Sheng, with a clear purpose - to support private soldiers.

In addition to Ma Zhou, Liu Jing also planned to place a few members of the Liu clan inside.

This has nothing to do with trust or not. Liu Jing knows Cai Sheng very well. He is definitely the kind of person who "repays the kindness of a drop of water". If the one lives and dies with Changsha, then Liu Jing will be empty for fetching water from a bamboo basket.

So he had to make sure that this team was under his control from the start.

…………

Liu Zhu and Wang Qiang will be very busy in the next few months. Liu Jing and the two will leave and return home with his brother Liu Liang. Liu Liang is riding a brown Nanzhong pony.

This horse was naturally given by Liu Jing. He attached great importance to the brother of the neighboring family. He not only gave him a sword and a horse, but also taught him to read in his dormitory every night. Just read "History", "Zuo Zhuan" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Liu Jing originally wanted to add "Poetry" and "Li", but Confucius said: "If you don't study poetry, you can't speak; if you don't study ritual, you can't stand." If he had no interest, Liu Jing didn't want to force him to study, so he had to give up.

Coincidentally, as soon as Liu Jing arrived home, the slaves of Deng's family rushed to the house on the back, as if they had discussed it.

Sitting in the hall, Liu Jing opened the letterhead of "cheap father-in-law" Deng You, staring at it for a long time.

This time, I really want to remove the word "cheap" from Deng You's head.

At the end of last year, Deng You mentioned in a letter that he hoped that the two could get married this year. Liu Jing felt that Deng Yuan was only 16 years old, which was a little too young. Some lack of confidence.

But these problems are obviously not problems in Deng You's eyes, and Liu Jing has no reason to object.

After Deng You won his consent, he decided to set the wedding ceremony in September this year, leaving him half a year to prepare.

Lai Ci was still wearing plain clothes with a bun, and looked at Liu Jing with beautiful eyes, and said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, Zhong Da is going to get married too."

Liu Qun leaned against his mother's arms, raised his face and asked Liu Jing, "My lord, do you want to marry me an aunt?"

"Yes." Liu Jing nodded with a smile. After two lives, he is finally getting married. "Tiger head, are you happy?"

Liu Qun looked at Liu Jing in a daze, nodded subconsciously and said, "Happy."

Liu Rao asked curiously: "Brother, is sister-in-law fierce?"

Liu Jing couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words: "Ah Li, why are you worried about this?"

Liu Rao said: "I heard that Nanyang Deng's daughters are very bad-tempered."

Liu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

Liu Rao pushed Liu He beside him, and sold his elder brother without hesitation.

Seeing Liu Jing's gaze turned to him, Liu He stammered: "The Deng family in Nanyang had two empresses, and the emperor and empress abolished the elders and made the younger ones, and had monopolized power for many years; Emperor Huan was arrogant and jealous, and died of depression. Both of them had bad personalities. "

Liu Jing was taken aback when he heard that, but Liu He wasn't talking nonsense.

"Deng Yuan's character..." Liu Jing recalled, and thought: "It seems to be a bit strong. But based on my understanding of her, she is a smart and kind-hearted girl. Once married, she will definitely treat her family well. .”

Thinking of this, Liu Jing said with a smile: "Ah Ruo, A Li, don't worry, your sister-in-law will love you more than me."

"Really?" Liu Rao's big eyes were full of expectation.

Liu He curled his lips secretly, he didn't believe that anyone in this world would treat him better than brother.

Stepmother Zhang said: "Zhongda, the Deng family is one of the most powerful families in the world, and there will be many people who will marry as dowries. In my opinion, your western house should be refurbished."

Liu Jing nodded and said: "My lord mother is right. The house has not been repaired for many years. Since it needs to be repaired, it is better to renovate the house inside and out."

Repairing the house is just a trivial matter, and now all his thoughts are on finding another Sima for Cai Sheng.

In order to enhance his persuasion, Liu Jing gave Cai Sheng a large sum of money to gather more than a hundred Linxiang rangers and villains to buy swords and clothes for them. Cai Sheng led them in groups all day long. , Swaggering through the market, aroused great concern from the Changsha County government officials.

Cai Sheng was already well-known in Changsha, last year in the city battle, he captured Ou Sheng and Ou Xiong consecutively, which made the whole county of Changsha pay attention to him, even Zhang Xian, he was also keenly aware of him.The reason why he was not recruited was because he was concerned about Ou's face, and secondly, he was weak compared to heroes such as Liu Zong and Ou Xiong. A mere swordsman, no matter how powerful he was, would not be of much use.

It's different now, there are more than a hundred rangers and villainous youngsters gathered around Cai Sheng, it's like giving wings to a tiger, Zhang Xian dare not let it go any longer, so the enticement followed.
