When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 14 Su Shuang: I understand Liu Xuande better than Liu Bei

"But I don't have any extra money right now, and I'm going to rely a lot on you two for the initial investment." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Zhang Shiping waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter, Mr. Liu, don't worry, leave it to us!"

"That's right," Su Shuang nodded in agreement. He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated. Under Liu Bei's sincere gaze, he still asked, "But Mr. Liu, there is one thing I don't understand."

"But it doesn't matter."

Su Shuang took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what the production scale is that Liu Jun expects. Don't get me wrong. We are not afraid of not being able to sell them and leaving them in our hands. We are just worried that the strength of the two of us is not enough to take on so much goods."

Liu Bei consoled him, "Mr. Su, please don't worry. The initial production volume is not high. You can use 'hunger marketing'. As the so-called 'hunger marketing' means that things are rare and valuable. As long as the nobles recognize our goods, the powerful people below will naturally follow suit and even increase the price to buy them."

"So that's how it is. Mr. Liu, the porcelain and stories you mentioned were all for the purpose of opening up sales among the aristocratic families." Su Shuang was able to make his fortune by selling horses, so he was certainly not a fool. Liu Bei's words gave him a flash of inspiration, and he had several ideas in just a few minutes.

"Captain Gongsun!"

Su Shuang called out the familiar yet unfamiliar name.

After he shouted it out, he felt a little regretful. After all, Gongsun Zan was Liu Jun's good friend. It was not so nice to say in front of Liu Jun that he wanted to make money from his friend.

Su Shuang looked at Liu Bei secretly.

Liu Bei looked normal, still smiling, and even nodded in agreement.

But who knows the pain in my heart?

They had the same teacher, but they fought cocks, ran dogs, and bought clothes together.

After returning to his hometown, Gongsun Zan directly entered the county to work through the relationship of his father-in-law, Taishou Hou. Later, he got to know Taishou Liu and transformed himself into a filial and incorrupt official, reaching a level that even Liu Bei could not touch.

Liu Bei was not jealous of Gongsun Zan, he was blessing his brother from the bottom of his heart.

But I couldn't help but think of myself. What's the use of being a so-called relative of the Han Dynasty and a disciple of Lu Zhi?
But he became a ranger.

He also sought help from Gongsun Zan, the then magistrate of Zhuo County.
As for now, Brother Bogui has probably been fighting in Liangzhou for several years, and his accumulated military merits are innumerable. Captain, what a distant word.

Loss is always temporary, so people still have to look forward.

Liu Bei swept away his loss and began to recall Zhen De's words: if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. You must develop a basic base. Merchants and farmers are all people you can unite with. This just fits Liu Bei's ambition.

With this in mind, Liu Bei said to Su Shuang, "Mr. Su, your idea is good. Give it to Brother Bogui as a gift. You can also look for other merchants to join us."

"Really? Mr. Liu, aren't you afraid that I will ruin your plans?"

Liu Bei held Su Shuang's hand again, "I believe you."

Just these four simple words seemed to hit Su Shuang's heart directly, and even his heart beat faster.

Suddenly, Su Shuang felt that he could understand Jing Ke's determination to assassinate Qin Shi Huang.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Is this what it feels like?
Su Shuang blushed and nodded heavily, "I will definitely not let you down, Mr. Liu!"

Zhang Shiping also expressed his feelings: "Me too!"

"good"

"By the way, I have something I want you two to take a look at."

Liu Bei grabbed one arm with one hand and activated his skill to swim together.
-
The three of them came to the yard.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other in bewilderment as they looked at the wood all over the ground. They really had no idea what Liu Bei was up to.

Zhang Shiping asked directly: "Mr. Liu, what does this mean? Are you still running a carpentry business?"

"No." Liu Bei shook his head. He half squatted and picked up the wood. "I wonder if you two know about Huchuang?"

"Hu bed?"

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other and nodded. The so-called Hu bed is simply a bed from the Hu land, but this bed is not a bed for sleeping. In the Han Dynasty, the shape of the Hu bed is more like a Ma Za 1,800 years later.

But I couldn't get on stage at all.

The Book of Rites says: "If you are not a guest for food and drink, then spread the mat. The space between the mats is about one meter wide. The host kneels on the mat, and the guest kneels and touches the mat to say goodbye. The guest walks away from the mat, and the host firmly says goodbye. The guest steps on the mat and then sits down."

Confucius also said: "If the mat is not straight, do not sit down."

A mat is a mat woven from reeds or bamboo.

Whether hosting a large banquet or receiving guests, people usually kneel at the table, which is in line with Confucian etiquette.

"Alas." Liu Bei thought of this and sighed, "I lost my father when I was young, and my mother worked tirelessly to raise me. I won't hide it from you. When I was young, I followed my mother to weave mats and sell shoes for a living. My mother was distressed about the newly woven mats and often knelt on the ground, so I wondered if there was anything that could help her? A Hu bed? It's a bit high."

"Unfortunately, I was too young to think of a good solution at that time. Until now, I met a person. With his help, I made this object with reference to the Hu Chuang."

As he was speaking, Liu Bei picked up some wood and boards and put them together to make a bench.

"What is the name of this thing?" Su Shuang asked in surprise.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "A small chair."

"? There's nowhere to lean on?" Zhang Shiping asked in confusion.

Su Shuang's eyes signaled that you should shut up and listen to what Liu Jun has to say.

Liu Bei's smile dimmed, "Actually, it wasn't originally called this name, but my mother is old now, and even standing for a long time is uncomfortable, let alone weaving mats, so."

Liu Bei started to stir again.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were standing aside, watching quietly.

Soon.

Liu Bei wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction.

"Is this a chair?" Su Shuang asked.

Liu Bei nodded, "Yes, my mother's waist is not good. I consulted a doctor, who said that she worked too hard in the past and hurt her waist. So I made this object, hoping that my mother could lie down more comfortably, so I named it the chair."

When Liu Bei said this, his tone was calm, but his heart was not as calm as his words. Sorry, Director Zhen, sorry to the people of later generations, I am really sorry for saying that the chair was made by myself.
"This"

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other and bowed deeply to Liu Bei.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Zhang, why is this happening? Please stand up immediately."

Liu Bei quickly jumped up and supported Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

"Mr. Liu, you are so filial!" Zhang Shiping said excitedly, "If anyone else said this in front of us, we would just think they are trying to gain fame! But since it is Mr. Liu who said this, it must be correct. Even Taiyi would be moved by your filial piety!!!"

"You really make us admire you!" Su Shuang's face was full of heat.

The two's reactions really confused Liu Bei, so he said frankly: "But I really want you two to sell the chairs. I really want to buy fame!"

Zhang Shiping, "Ah?"

Su Shuang suddenly realized, "I understand! Liu Jun must not want to embarrass us, so he said this on purpose. You care about the world! You must think that other people's mothers are not easy either, and you want them to be able to use this chair! This is not just filial piety! This is taking the world as your own responsibility!!!"

Liu Bei: “Ah?”

　Sorry, dear readers, my friend's sister got married today and I went to the wedding banquet. Sorry, there is only one update.
