I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101, Grumpy Liu Bei
Zhang Fei also said: "Marquis Zhuangjie is too upright. He suppressed the land of the entire Jizhou noble family and confiscated the land of eunuchs and corrupt officials. He offended too many people at once. The noble family, eunuchs and treacherous officials all hated him." Otherwise, he wouldn't be plotted against by villains."

Jian Yong also sighed: "It's a pity that until now we don't know who assassinated Zhuang Jiehou, only Zhang Yan is the one to blame!"

Liu Bei and the others are in Youzhou, which is not far from Jizhou. They know more. They naturally know that Zhang Yan was framed by others. There is a high probability that Fu Bian was assassinated by a powerful family in Jizhou, but even they don’t know which one it was. Fu Bian!
Liu Bei said angrily: "I wish I could kill all these treacherous ministers and corrupt officials. The great man's country is ruined by these people! The nobles in Jizhou are not good things. I really want to kill them all with a sword, so that the big man will not There's going to be so much going on!"

At the beginning, Liu Bei made great contributions to destroying the Yellow Turban Uprising Army and became the county captain of Anxi County, but his life in this position was not happy, because the elites in Jizhou ridiculed him as a barbarian in northern Xinjiang and rejected him in various ways, so he knew the county Duyou wanted to dismiss him, so he tied up Duyou and whipped him two hundred times in anger, and fled with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

However, he and Fu Bian have a close friendship. At the beginning, when he fought side by side with Fu Bian in Jizhou, there was a feeling of comrade-in-arms. The refugees who have taken over the entire Jizhou made Liu Bei admire him even more, thinking that he is a capable official. If the big man has a few more officials like Fu Bian, the world of the big man will be peaceful.

And such a minister of Optimum Baozhu was assassinated in this way, and it was probably done by the powerful and nobles, how could Liu Bei not be angry.

Jian Yong said nervously: "Xuan De is careful, if this word gets out, it will be very bad for your official career!"

Liu Bei said angrily: "If this is the case, it's okay for this bird to be a wrong official. I also followed Lei Gong and slaughtered them all. It will be more fun this way!"

Liu Bei always liked a life of happiness and kindness, otherwise he would not have become the leader of the ranger circle in Zhuo County. Instead, after he became an official, various restrictions made him feel extremely unfree, and made him feel like he couldn't breathe. All hard feelings.

Guan Yu looked at the manic Liu Bei and said, "Brother, you are now in charge of a hundred thousand people. You must not be so arrogant. Do you want to leave these one hundred thousand people in the fields?"

Zhang Fei also said: "Brother, if you want to avenge Fu Zhoumu, you have to do the work of the captain of Tuntian even more. Only when you become a high-ranking official can you be able to help Fu Zhoumu avenge your revenge!"

Under the persuasion of several people, Liu Bei's anger subsided slightly.

At this time, his personal guard found Liu Bei and said, "Master, Su Gongcao and the others have something important to report!"

Liu Bei and the others immediately rode back to Tuntian Xiaowei's Mansion!Meet Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping!
The two presented Mayi's wool and preached: "Ming Gong, this is a new wool cloth from Mayi. The quality is much better than our linen, but the price is not much different from our linen. Now there is no one in Mayi. Buy our linen, the manager of Mayi has already told us, let us not send linen to Mayi in the future!"

Liu Bei stroked the woolen cloth and said in surprise: "This cloth looks better than silk, is it really made of wool?"

Su Shuang said helplessly: "It's true, woolen cloth is not only much cheaper than silk, but also much more practical than silk. More importantly, the textile factory in Mayi can produce thousands of such woolen cloths every day. , can fully satisfy their demand for cloth, and no longer need our linen.”

Zhang Fei smacked his lips and said, "This guy Lei Gong is about to get rich again. What's wrong with a person who can make money like him? He just wants to be a bandit. It doesn't matter!"

Zhang Shiping said helplessly: "Zhang Sima, now is not the time to envy Lei Gong for making money, but because we can't sell linen, but Lei Gong doesn't accept money. If we don't have goods to replace linen, we won't be able to buy Mayi's." If the goods are gone, the income of Tuntian Xiaowei Mansion will be reduced by half."

Now even Liu Bei has become serious. Since Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping became the meritorious officers of Tuntian Xiaowei's Mansion, they helped Liu Bei earn 5000 million yuan in half a year by selling Mayi's goods, and solved the Tuntian Xiaowei's Mansion for him. A lot of troubles, if such an important financial source is reduced by half, the daily operation of Tuntian Xiaowei's Mansion will be difficult.

Liu Bei also asked seriously: "Apart from salt and cloth, there is nothing else in Youzhou that Lei Gong and the others need!"

Of course there is, it is food. Lei Gong buys food in unlimited quantities, but both of them know that this is Liu Bei's bottom line, so they didn't mention it!
Jian Yong also followed up and asked: "Lei Gong only occupies one and a half counties outside the pass, and logically speaking, the products are scarce. We in Youzhou should have a lot of things that Lei Gong and the others need!"

Zhang Shiping said: "There are many, but most of the items in Youzhou are cheap and not suitable for long-distance sales, and Lei Gong has a group of skilled craftsmen in his hands, most of the items can be made by ourselves."

Liu Bei asked: "We don't know much about buying and selling, so can't you two find a product that can replace linen?"

Su Shuang thought for a while and said: "Ma Yi is short of goods now, but there are indeed goods suitable for us! One is furniture. Now Ma Yi buys furniture very well. It is said that their carpenters are too busy, but Lei Gong wants to weave cloth. , stopped making furniture, and now a bed in Mayi costs hundreds of dollars! If we can get a batch of furniture there, not to mention replacing the linen, but it will also replace a lot!"

Zhang Shiping also whispered: "Lei Gong seems to have said in Mayi that every woman in Mayi should have a loom every month, but the total number of looms in Mayi is only 3000. If we sell some looms in the past , I think it can completely replace the lost sackcloth!"

Zhang Fei thought about it: "It's not difficult to build furniture and looms. We have 10 people. I think there will be many carpenters among them. In Youzhou, there are wood everywhere, and the materials are easy. If you really build it, say It may be more profitable than selling linen!"

Liu Bei said angrily, "It's fine for the house. Mr. Lei has already made a lot of money from the loom. We also get the loom for him. This is not breeding tigers and making Mr. Lei even more difficult to deal with!"

Zhang Fei whispered: "What's the use of us resisting Lei Gong? It's not that other merchants brought goods to Mayi. Now there are more cattle and sheep in Mayi than food, and even a soldier in Mayi eats better than us. !"
