Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 78: Riding on a scooter is free

With a straight face, Liu Bian went out looking for prestige.

Yuan Shao and He Xian were seen arriving in a carriage with five unfamiliar guards.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Liu Bian's first thoughts were:

Driving a cart?

Is this painting style quite unique?
Anyway, Liu Bian stared at Runan Yuan, who was born in the fourth generation and third father, and Yuan Shao, who is now the driver of Bohai County, neither rides a horse nor rides a carriage. arm--

this!This is so unworthy of aristocratic family image!
Just like a small vendor going to the market... If you tell me, who will believe it? !
But Yuan Shao didn't feel any discomfort.

Stopping the cart smoothly, Yuan Shao jumped off the cart, came to Liu Bian, and saluted: "Your Highness, Shao has fulfilled his mission and built seven carts in total. Please take a look at it!"

Seven carts? --Amazing!This is so efficient!

He looked at Yuan Shao unexpectedly and did not ask Yuan Shao how he built seven carts. Instead, he praised without hesitation: "Great! With these carts, we can travel faster!"

He waved to the twenty tenant farmers and motioned for them to get on the cart.

There are enough carts to carry everyone.

Although the appearance of the trolley is too sloppy, it is more convenient, right? ——All the tenant farmers did not refuse. After thanking Liu Bian repeatedly, they got on the cart...

As for Liu Bian, he originally wanted to take a trolley ride, but was "targeted" by He Bai.

"Your Highness!" He Bai said quietly, "Your Highness, please take a carriage!!"

Don’t forget that He Bai is still driving the carriage!
Your Highness must not be allowed to ride in that shabby carriage!

His Highness may be able to adapt to the simplicity of the trolley, but He Bai and the other guards would not dare to wrong His Highness.

Hearing this, the remaining guards looked at Liu Bian intently.

At this time, Liu Bian wanted to refuse, but he felt that it was not appropriate, so he complied with the guards' request and obediently sat in the carriage.

well!He just wanted to have a few words with Yuan Shao.

That's all, that's all, let's take everyone to the destination first?

In this way, Liu Bian and his party met Yuan Shao and others on the way, so they took a carriage or cart and rushed to the "wooden house area".

It is really convenient to have a cart: before, Liu Bian and his party hurriedly hurried to the destination and only walked a short distance; now, with the blessing of the cart, Liu Bian and his party arrived quickly "Chalet Area".

From the moment he got off the carriage, Liu Bian was surprised to see a prosperous scene in the "wooden house area": ​​it was still a vast flat land as far as the eye could see, and there were wooden houses built one after another with quite eye-catching appearance, and they were quite regulated - —Originally, Liu Bian always thought that this wooden roof was stronger than tents and huts, but this was not the case!

Each wooden house has a small courtyard. Although it is a bungalow, it is spacious enough and should be able to accommodate about five or six people. The wall wood looks slightly thin, but it is quite high quality and has a certain thickness. When the wind blows it down, , heavy rain falls, it should not be easily destroyed.

Looking around the wooden house, apart from being uniformly tidy and occasionally messy, there is a hint of pastoral style.

The most frightening thing is: this type of wooden houses are being built in large numbers, and it must be someone with excellent command ability - if you look at the batches of busy building houses in the distance, you should know how good the people who direct the construction of wooden houses are. , which made Yuan Shao pat his palm and praise:
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! How wonderful! Is it really Liu Sheren who is responsible for building the house? I really didn't expect..."

Yuan Shao pursed his lips.

"Yes." Liu Bian nodded and pointed into the distance, "Look! Is that Liu Sheren?"

In front, Liu Bei's silhouette could be vaguely discerned in the distance. Liu Bei was shuttling among a group of tenant farmers.Suddenly, a tenant farmer accidentally fell and lost the wood in his hand.Fortunately, Liu Bei had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly picked it up and delivered the wood to the tenant farmer...

Afterwards, Liu Bian returned and continued to supervise the tenant farmers in transporting wood and building wooden houses.

This does not include Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Looking at the busy building scene of people in front of him and listening to the various noises coming from his ears, Yuan Shao's expression was particularly subtle. He stared at Liu Bei's figure for a long, long time. It was so long that Liu Bian couldn't help but ask Yuan Shao:
"Yuan Biejia, what do you think about the cart?"

"What...idea?" Yuan Shao came back to his senses and was stunned for a while.

It is obvious that Yuan Shao did not consider the purpose of the cart at all.

Sighing, he said bluntly: "From now on, these seven carts will be used to pick up and drop off the tenant farmers. It can just reduce the time the tenant farmers have to travel. Isn't that a problem?"

"This..." Yuan Shao was surprised and a little confused, "Your Highness, why do you need to pick up and drop off the tenants? - The tenants have legs, so they can't walk by themselves? Why does Your Highness need to go to extra trouble and send extra manpower to transport the tenants back and forth on a cart? ?”

Additional staff?

Liu Bian squinted his eyes: "It's okay if Yuan Shao doesn't say anything, but once he said it... his eyes turned, Liu Bian turned to the five strange guards brought by Yuan Shao, and said thoughtfully:

"Where did these people come from? Why have I never seen them before?"

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Yuan Shao didn't assign any guards to himself at all?
Yuan Shao was silent.

As if he remembered something, Yuan Shao said in surprise: "Your Highness, Shao has something that I didn't have time to tell His Highness."

This...this scene seems familiar?
"——You say it!" Liu Bian rubbed his forehead. "To be honest, Your Highness, these guards are actually my disciples."

Liu Bian: "..."

"I feel ashamed to say it! I should have sent these disciples back to Luoyang. I lamented that they were very loyal and did not want to leave Shao, so Shao Cai kept them and hired them privately..."

Liu Bian: "..."

"Your Highness, don't you blame Shao? - This situation is normal! Not only Shao, but also Yuan Jijiu and Chief Cao! If Your Highness goes to ask Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi will not deny it!"

Liu Bian: "..."

Liu Bian was as quiet as a chicken.

"Your Highness? Your Highness? What's wrong with you, Your Highness? Why don't you speak?" Yuan Shao looked at Liu Bian worriedly.

Liu Bian's heart was full of emotions, and he couldn't say anything: Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, tell me honestly, are you angry with Yuan Shu? ——Your rhetoric is similar to what Yuan Shu said?
Tired, Liu Bian said: "...If you are not willing, I will ask Uncle Wang to come and help."

"What?!" Yuan Shao exclaimed.

At the same time, Liu Bei's voice really came:

"——Who is calling me?"

Liu Bian's head is full of black lines.

Looking for the reputation, Liu Bian saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming one after the other.

"Your Highness!" Liu, Guan, and Zhang hugged his fists as a salute.

"Uncle Wang!" Liu Bian returned the courtesy.

Finally, Liu Bei said: "I just heard your Highness say "help", what do you need from me?" "

Liu Bian opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard Yuan Shao say:
"I'm not looking for your help, I'm looking for me! I'm looking for Yuan Biejia!!"

Huh? !

Everyone present looked at Yuan Shao in unison.

But Yuan Shao said without changing his expression: "His Highness wants me to drive the cart and pick up the registered farmers back and forth. Is this a way to welcome the new farmers?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, but when he saw all the tenant farmers looking at each other, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Quickly, someone asked: "Are you willing to ask for money?"

"Ah?" Yuan Shao opened his mouth wide, "——You don't want money?"

"Great!" the man said happily, "What about the future?"

"Repay later?" Yuan Shao was confused, "You want to spend money?"

"Of course not!"

"Then it's free?"

"Really?!" The man was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth. "From now on, when I go to a place far away, don't I have to pay for a ride? - Even if it's a trolley, I'm willing to do it!"

Yuan Shao said: "Okay, okay, I'll rely on you, I'll rely on you."

——Liu Bian’s eyelids twitched when he saw it: It’s so scary!Yuan Shao, did you not pay attention to what you were promising at all?Free rides and stuff like that...can you really afford it?
Tilting his head, he suddenly thought of a way to increase taxes and said: "It's free to ride on the trolley, but if you rent a trolley, you have to pay extra!"

Everyone: "..."

"Rent a trolley? Additional charge?" Everyone stared at him: What a novel word, what does it mean?

"Do you have money?" Liu Bian asked first, as if seeing everyone's doubts.

The crowd shook their heads.

Liu argued: "Then do you have anything valuable?"

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

When I was young, someone hesitated and said, "The title deed...does it count?"

With crooked eyes, he said: "Of course the land deed counts - if you rent and mortgage the land deed, won't you be temporarily rich?"
