Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing has always disliked having a maid to serve him, he thinks it is not very convenient, for example, in summer, he cannot sit shirtless in the room to enjoy the cool.

but. ． ． ．This little maid looks cute, pitiful, and very understanding. Now that she has come, Liu Jing no longer refuses, and nods with a smile, "Let's talk in the room!"

Walking into the courtyard, one can see the whole house. The small courtyard is not big. There is a tall and straight old apricot tree planted in the upper left corner. The crown of the tree is so large that it covers half of the house.

There are about six or seven rooms in the house, and there is a small vegetable garden behind the house. It is very clean inside and out. It is a very ordinary small family house, and Liu Jing's first impression is not bad.

Uncle Meng went to feed the horse, and the little maid led Liu Jing to his room.

"My lord, these are two rooms inside and out. Uncle Meng said that the inner room is your master's bedroom, and the outer room can be used as a study."

Speaking of this, the little maid asked secretly again: "Do you read, my lord?"

"It's okay! Sometimes I will watch it."

"Oh! My mother said that being able to read and write is very important. If I can become an official in the future, my father can't read and write, so I can only be a maid now." A Duo pouted lightly and said angrily.

Seeing that her childlike innocence was still intact, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "I will teach you how to read when I have time."

"Okay!"

A Duo clapped his hands happily, but immediately became discouraged, "It's not bad if you taught my father to read and write. I'm a little girl, even if I can read, I can't be an official."

After finishing speaking, she felt sad again, but unfortunately, her father passed away at the beginning of the year.

Liu Jing didn't pay attention to her psychological changes, and sat down by the window. He hadn't sat down properly for a month, but sitting down and stretching for a long time now made him feel so comfortable. He is happy.

"Young master, you haven't eaten yet! I'll make pancakes for you. I can make mutton and spring onion pie. It's delicious. Do you want it, young master?"

A pair of big eyes looked at Liu Jing expectantly. Liu Jing saw her round face, like a snow-white bun, and said with a smile, "Let me change your name!"

"Okay!" Duo'er clapped her hands happily. There is a widow named Duo girl in the mansion. Her reputation is not very good. Duo'er has long disliked this name. Since the young master wants to change his name, it is best.

"What do you call me, my lord, Chunlan or Dongmei?" Her big eyes were full of expectation.

"It's called...Little Baozi!" Liu Jing said with a smile.

"Buns?"

Duo'er was stunned, "What is a bun?"

"It's a beautiful thing, and I always miss it."

Although she didn't know what Baozi was, and "Little Baozi" seemed a little unpleasant, but the young master missed it so much, she nodded, "Then listen to the young master, and call it Xiaobaozi, and my mother's surname is Bao!"

She pouted her lips, and said coyly: "But you are not allowed to be called by this name when you grow up."

Liu Jing laughed loudly, "When you get married in the future, you will be called an official name, this is just a nickname."

Duo'er's face was flushed with embarrassment, he lowered his head and pinched the hem of his clothes and whispered, "It's...it's early!"

Seeing her cute appearance, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "Little Baozi, I'm already hungry, so hurry up and make mutton and spring onion pancakes."

"Hey! Let's go."

The little bun agreed, turned around and ran away happily. Liu Jing watched her lively back and ran away, and then realized that it is actually nice to have a little maid, at least not so boring.

At this time, Liu Jing calmed down. He needed to sort out his thoughts. According to the requirements in Yuren Zhenren's book, he needed a lot of things, a big wooden barrel, herbs for bathing every day, and his big appetite. Gunpowder, more than 30-year-old snake gall, musk, and century-old Ganoderma lucidum are all extremely valuable medicinal materials.

Liu Jing knows what she lacks most now, money!Although the Liu family gave him three hundred taels of money and a stone of rice every month, this money and rice meant nothing to him. At this moment, he only had five taels of gold left on him. Without money, he couldn't do anything.

But. ． ． ．Where is he going to get some money?

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

The scallion and mutton pie made by Xiao Baozi was so delicious that people couldn't get enough of it. After coming out of the yard, Liu Jing checked the direction and walked directly to the south of the city.

Fancheng is a well-developed commercial city, with shops everywhere, shouting and yelling one after another, and almost the goods of the entire Jingzhou area are distributed here.

But this does not mean that the streets and alleys in Fancheng are paved with money, and he can solve his embarrassment of lack of money by just bending over and making a little money.

Of course, he can invent some gadgets for future generations, promote them, and make money. But this is the end of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Jing has enough awareness. Some ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

However, this does not mean that he can't get money, he naturally has his own way, and he can get a lot of money.

Fancheng, like Xiangyang, also has a central axis street called Nanyang Street, which runs through the north and south, and many famous big shops are distributed on both sides of this main road.

Liu Jing inquired all the way, and found his target not long after, a magnificent commercial house located in the most prosperous place in the south of the city.

He walked up the steps and looked up at the plaque with a black background and a gold border on the gate. The four ancient seal characters of "Dao's business" were particularly clear and eye-catching.

In Fancheng, when it comes to Tao's firm, no one is in awe, and its status in Fancheng is even comparable to that of the county government.

Dow's firm doesn't have any shops, but it does the largest business in Fancheng. Whenever the golden carp banner of Dow's firm appears at the pier in Fancheng, it will always cause a bit of a commotion.

The huge commercial trade of the Tao family also brought a lot of tax money to Jingzhou, and also paid a lot of tribute to Liu Biao.

So much so that Tao Sheng, the head of the Tao family, can directly enter the gate of the state government without reporting for inspection. This is a privilege given to him by Liu Biao to show his honor.

As soon as Liu Jing walked up the steps, a servant came out to greet him, bowed his head and said, "Is the young master here to discuss business?"

Liu Jing nodded, "I'm here to discuss a big deal."

"Young master, please!"

The servant was very polite, even though he didn't know Liu Jing's background, he still respectfully invited Liu Jing to a living room, and a maid came in and served tea.

Liu Jing only sat for a while, when he heard a cough, and a small steward walked in, he looked at Liu Jing with some doubts, he seemed to feel a little familiar, but he did not lose his etiquette, he smiled and said: "Xia Jiangxia Li Yifeng You can call me Guanshi Li, you may as well tell me when you hear that you are coming to discuss business."

Liu Jing stood up and cupped his hands, "I'm Xiangyang Liu Jing..."

As soon as Liu Jing said this, the steward suddenly realized, and said, "You are Mr. Jing!"

It turned out that he knew himself, that would be the best, so as not to introduce himself, Liu Jing nodded, "Exactly!"

"I said why does the young master look familiar? I also went to watch the young master's sword competition last time. The young master's sword skills are admirable!"

"Guan Li has won the prize."

The two of them sat for a while, and Li Guanshi recalled that Mr. Jing is Zhou Mu's nephew. Is he really here to discuss business?

Li Guanshi couldn't help but asked with a dry laugh: "What kind of business does Mr. Jing want to talk about?"

Liu Jing took out a folded note and handed it to Guanshi Li, "I want to do business here."

Li Guanshi took the note and opened it, only to see two sentences in it, "Dao's Jiangdong welcomes distinguished guests, Wuchang city kills yellow sheep." '

Li Guanshi frowned, "Young Master Jing, what does this mean?"

"You don't understand, this is for your Patriarch, he will naturally understand."

Li Guanshi was stunned for a while, and he quickly got up and said: "Please sit down a moment, my lord, I will report to the chief steward, a small person has a humble position, and he is not qualified to deliver news for the head of the family."

"Go!"

Liu Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. He was very confident, given the Tao family's exquisite appearance.This deal must be done.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Li Guanshi took the note and hurried into the backyard, came to a room, knocked on the door, "Second Young Master, it's me, I have something important to report."

"Come in!"

Li Guanshi opened the door and walked in. There was a person sitting in the room, leaning on the couch and reading a book. At this time, most of the books were still bamboo slips, but some wealthy people had copied books with paper, mainly Buddhist scriptures, but also There are famous works of the philosophers of the Warring States Period.

This is a young man about 30 years old, with fair skin and piercing eyes, he looks very shrewd. He is Tao Zheng, the second son of the head of the family, Tao Sheng, and he was the one who brought people into Wuchang City last time.

Huang Yi, Huang Zu's nephew, was killed, and all over Jiangxia posted lists to arrest the murderer. There was a young lady in a black dress with a bow and two swords on her back. There was a rumor among the boatmen in Wuchang that they had seen this young lady on the Tao's boat.

This made the Tao family feel guilty and uneasy. Tao Sheng specially ordered his son Tao Zheng to come to Xiangyang to inquire about the news.

It has been almost half a month since Tao Zheng came to Xiangyang, and there has been no movement on this matter, and it seems that it has passed away.

Li Guanshi stepped forward and bowed, "Second young master, there is a person outside, it is Mr. Jing."

"Which Mr. Jing?" Tao Zheng sat up very sensitively, staring at the steward with piercing eyes.

"It's Zhou Mu's nephew. The second young master said last time that we should pay attention to his movements."

Tao Zheng had already found out that the person who killed Huang Yi in Wuchang City was none other than Liu Jing. He specially took care of the chief steward, and if there was any news about Liu Jing, he should report it to him immediately.

Tao Zheng felt a little uneasy, and asked quickly, "What is he here for?"

"He said he was coming to talk to us about business, and he gave me this note."

Guanshi Li handed the note to Tao Zheng. Tao Zheng opened the note and glanced at it. Suddenly he stood up in shock, his voice changed, "Has he left?"

"No! He's still waiting in the living room." Li Guanshi was also taken aback. He had never seen the second son lose his composure before.

Tao Zheng's forehead was sweating, he knew the meaning of the note very well, Liu Jing already knew the true identities of the two brothers and sisters, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Once Liu Biao found out about this, it would mean ransacking the Tao family and exterminating the family. Even if the Tao family could escape to Jiangdong in time, all the main industries of the Tao family would be wiped out, and the consequences would be too serious.

Tao Zheng didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he left immediately. After taking two steps, he turned back and told Guanshi Li, "Let the chief steward close the gate immediately, and let the head teacher Luo lead the sons to block all the exits. Without my order, anyone People are not allowed to come in and out."

Guanshi Li saw that the second young master's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but secretly regretted it. He wanted to bypass the senior steward and sneak to win the favor of the second young master, but unexpectedly things seemed to get worse, and he was asked to go to the senior steward again. How would he explain this?

Helpless, Steward Li had no choice but to bite the bullet, lamenting in his heart that he had offended the chief steward, and his New Year's dividends would probably be cut.

This manager Li has forgotten an iron rule in the workplace, he would rather offend his boss than his boss.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In the room, Liu Jing was still drinking tea slowly, with the knife on the table. This was not because of his courage, but because of his attitude. He had already been mentally prepared. There were only two outcomes for this kind of thing, either silence or becoming a Buddha.

If the Tao family had the slightest idea of ​​killing their mouths, then he, Liu Jing, would have to destroy the whole family of the Tao family first.

Of course, if the Tao family is willing to discuss with him in detail, then there will be a very broad space for cooperation between him and the Tao family.

At this time, there were hurried footsteps coming from the yard, but they calmed down again when they reached the door, becoming calm and steady, as if he was adjusting his mood, Liu Jing sneered, the visitor should have understood his note.
