I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 79, attentive Zhang Fei
Youzhou, East Anyang County, Tuntian Xiaoweifu Yamen.

After seeing Liu Bei, Jian Yong explained to Liu Bei what he saw and heard in Mayi!
In the end, Jian Yong said: "Lei Gong has accumulated a lot of food and built a high wall. If he is allowed to lay down a foundation in Mayi, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the court to eradicate Lei Gong in the future!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei smiled wryly and took a bamboo scroll to Jian Yong and said, "But now the imperial court has no strength to deal with Lei Gong. General Zhang Wen was defeated in Xiliang and lost 4 troops. Now the army has retreated." On the front line of Sanfu, His Majesty hastily ordered General Huangfu to stabilize the front line, and the war in Xiliang will not end until next year!"

"How is this possible!" Jian Yong couldn't believe it. Although the imperial court had fought frequently in recent years, it had won many battles. Such a big defeat had never happened before.

But after reading the content on the bamboo scroll, I found that the invincible man would also be defeated, and the defeat was very miserable. The 10 army lost less than half, and now it is beaten by the Xiliang rebels and can only defend!

Liu Bei said helplessly: "Compared with the Xiliang rebels and the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou, Lei Gongbu and they are nothing. As long as they don't attack Taiyuan County, they will not harm the great Han. The imperial court did not eliminate the Xiliang rebels and Jizhou. Before the Yellow Turban Army, they were incapable of dealing with Lei Gong!"

Guan Yu on the side said: "Brother, what this Lei Gong did seems to be completely different from other thieves. He didn't harass the people. Can't the court appease Lei Gong? Isn't Master Liu Yu always fond of appeasing Hu people, and this Lei Gong is still a Han Chinese?" , It is of great benefit to the imperial court to appease him!"

Zhang Fei said nervously, "Second brother, you didn't say that outside, did you?"

Guan Yu said strangely: "No!"

Zhang Fei said with a sigh of relief: "That's good, second brother, don't say such things in the future, or it will bring us big trouble!"

"Lei Gong and the Yellow Turban Thieves wiped out the entire Jizhou noble family, and the court hated them to the bone. How could they appease Lei Gong and the others? Didn't you see that even though Lei Gong is less than a hundred miles away from us, Liu Youzhou, who always likes to appease Lei Gong, treats Lei Gong very badly?" If you don't ask, it's because you can't appease. Whoever dares to appease Lei Gong is the sworn enemy of the entire Jizhou clan, and [-]% of the officials in the world are from Jizhou. Who dares to offend so many officials! Let's see, the imperial court can't do anything now. The Liang thieves are wiped out, and it will be the end of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Bandits and Lei Gong! Maybe we will also lead the army to encircle and suppress Lei Gong!"

Liu Bei and the others felt palpitations in an instant, they really didn't expect this!At the same time, I feel sorry for Lei Gong!
Jian Yong was very surprised and said: "Yide, you are usually reckless, but you didn't expect to have such a careful side."

They didn't even think about Lei Gong's situation, but Zhang Fei saw through it at a glance, which even surprised Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei said disapprovingly: "There are several relatives in Jizhou in my father's family. They curse Lei Gong and Zhang Yan and other yellow scarf thieves every day. This kind of thing is not a family in Youzhou. Almost every family has several Jizhou relatives." The relatives who fled are here, and they are now arguing with the government in Jizhou every day. They want to take back their relatives’ fields and mansions, but they are all suppressed by Jizhou Mu Fu Bian. Just by looking at this situation, we know that Lei Gong and the others slaughtered in Jizhou How many high-ranking nobles have been killed, it is impossible for the surviving high-ranking nobles to let Lei Gong and them go."

Liu Bei said regretfully: "Forget it, we still don't want to get too close to Lei Gong and the others, just do normal transactions!"

He also meant to appease Lei Gong, but according to Zhang Fei, Lei Gong and the others have become enemies of all officials, so it is better not to get close!

"We bought the sweater. Let's see if we can sell it. If we can really make money, it will be a big subsidy for Tuntian Mansion!"

"Let me give it a try!" Jian Yong has never done business before, and his experience is not even as rich as Liu Bei's, after all Liu Bei also sold straw sandals!
But the sales of sweaters exceeded Liu Bei's imagination, and the price doubled. Even if a sweater sold for 1000 yuan, the 200 sweaters were sold out before they were sold in Dong'anyang County, and they made a direct profit of 10 yuan. Liu Bei, who made money, was dumbfounded.

When did money get so easy?Then why are they poor for half their lives!
It's obviously not that Jian Yong is a business genius, but that this sweater is more popular than they imagined!
So Liu Bei took out 500 million yuan and let Jian Yong continue to buy goods in Mayi. At the same time, he also figured out that it is obviously difficult to maintain the farmland with the support of the court alone. He can only rely on his own efforts to form a caravan to sell Mayi's specialty products are obviously a way to make money.

But in this way, a scholar like Jian Yong is not suitable for running this business route. After thinking for a long time, he thought of his old friends Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. stand up.

Both Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were horse dealers in Youzhou. Back then, Liu Bei was a ranger in Zhuojun. If they wanted to do business in Zhuojun, they would naturally have to befriend a local snake like Liu Bei.After the two of them interacted with Liu Bei, they believed that Liu Bei was not an idler, and that he would soar into the sky in the future, so they kept a good relationship. After the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, they even spent thousands of dollars to help Liu Bei form the volunteers. !

And their support was quickly rewarded. In less than 3 years, Liu Bei got involved with the 2000 shi Tuntian Xiaowei. Relying on this relationship, the two people's business in Youzhou can be said to be unimpeded.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang soon came to Tuntian Xiaowei's Mansion.

Liu Bei shared his thoughts with the two of them, and gave them a sweater!

They brightened their eyes and said, "This is a sweater. It's really good. If the price is exactly as Xuande said, the whole Youzhou can sell 10 pieces. If you add Jizhou's one million pieces, it won't be a problem!"

Liu Bei continued: "If the two of you are willing to help, I will appoint you as Bing Cao, and I can entrust you with the money and food in the Colonel's Mansion!"

You can be an official, but who is willing to be a businessman? Didn’t they invest in Liu Bei for this time? The monarchy system in the Yuan Dynasty is similar.) So the two saluted and said, "Greetings to Duke Ming!"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Okay, with the two of you, Tuntian Xiaowei's Mansion is even more powerful. When Jian Yong comes back, I will entrust you with dealing with Ma Yi in the future!"

Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang: "This subordinate will definitely not disappoint Duke Ming!"

When Jian Yong transported 1 sweaters again, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang took over these sweaters. With their strong business network, they sold out the sweaters quickly.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang mobilized Liu Bei to let him build a wharf on the Sanggan River outside Dong'anyang County, and use the Sanggan River that traverses the entire Youzhou to sell the goods from Mayi all over Youzhou. In half a month, he helped Liu Bei earn tens of millions of dollars
