Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 184 Talking about business

After sending Jia Xu away, Liu Yu took Zhao Yun back on horseback.But less than half an hour after he came back, the guards reported to him that Du Ji and Zhang He had come.

This time I didn't meet in the lobby, but ran to the side room.Du Ji and Zhao Yun sat in the lobby, which meant that Liu Yu met Zhang He alone.

Originally, Du Ji wanted to come over, but Liu Yu thought it was better to forget it, otherwise it would be as if he was afraid of Zhang He, and he would have to bring someone over to talk.

"Liu Taishou, I don't know what to call the old man?" Zhang He bowed his hands and said respectfully.

Liu Yu hurriedly helped Zhang He up, and said: "Mr. Zhang is breaking me, please sit down quickly."

Without insisting, Zhang He took advantage of the situation and sat opposite Liu Yu, and chatted with Liu Yu.

After chatting for a while, Liu Yu said in an indirect way: "Old Zhang, I heard that your Zhang family has business dealings with rich merchants in the north."

However, Zhang He was so old that he couldn't understand Liu Yu's meaning. He immediately stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's true. My Zhang family often has business contacts with Wuji Fu Jia Zhen's."

Never thought of hiding it, Zhang He knew that Liu Yu must know about it.In addition, he also guessed that Liu Yu wanted to do business with him.No matter whether he suffers or not, he will not refuse, because this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to build a good relationship with Liu Yu.Of course, he naturally wants to make money but not to lose money.

Although he had found out a long time ago, Liu Yu couldn't help but his eyes lit up after hearing Zhang He's own confession, and said: "Mr. Zhang, the Zhen family should have war horses. I want to buy a batch. I wonder if you can make a connection?"

He also didn't beat around the bush, because he didn't need it, Liu Yu knew that Zhang He would not refuse his request when he heard Zhang He's confession.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Zhang He smiled and said: "Coincidentally, someone from Mrs. Zhen is in Yanzhou. Since the prefect has business, I believe Mrs. Zhen will not refuse. I will write a letter to Mrs. Zhen when I go back. Let her come to Shangcai and talk to the prefect."

"Haha, thank you so much Mr. Zhang." Hearing this, Liu Yu was overjoyed and said that this crane really knew the current affairs, and then smiled again: "Mr. Zhang, I have to entrust you with this business, such as trading with the Zhen family, going to Wuji Take the horses. Of course, I will not let Zhang Laobai work, the Zhang family should make money here. In addition, I will send soldiers to protect the safety of the caravan, so Zhang Lao does not have to worry."

Hearing what Liu Yu said in front of him, Zhang He's expression changed slightly.But after hearing what Liu Yu said later, his slightly changed face was already full of smiles.

"Whatever the prefect says, this is what the old man should do." The matter was naturally settled like this, but Zhang He still said a few polite words.

Liu Yu also knew the nature of these people, so he also had a few polite words with him.Afterwards, the matter was settled like this, and the two continued to chat.

After a while, Liu Yu got up and sent Zhang He away.At this time, Du Ji and Zhao Yun came over, Du Ji smiled and said: "Young Master has a smile on his face, the matter should be settled."

"Well, we have already made an appointment. Someone from the Zhen family will come in a few days, and I will have a talk with you in person. Hehe, few people would be able to refuse such a big deal."

While Liu Yu was chatting with Du Ji, Zhang He also chatted with someone at the gate of the prefect's mansion.What he was talking about was none other than He Cheng who was summoned by Liu Yu.

As soon as the two met, their expressions changed slightly, but in an instant they turned into smiles.

"Nephew Xian, what's the matter today, that he came to the prefect's mansion? If it's about the farmer, maybe I can help." Zhang He, who was usually in harmony with each other on weekdays, rarely said to him with a smile today.But his smile is fake, it's just to set out a reconciliation.

He Cheng was not stupid, and immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are not staying at home, why did you come out from the prefect's mansion?"

"Hehe, isn't the prefect calling me for something? Can I not come? Oh, what are you doing here again?" Zhang He continued to smirk, and his reply was useless.

He Cheng also knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, and he might even be tricked out by this old fox.So he rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Ahem, Mr. Zhang, I'll go in first. It's not good to keep Taishou Liu waiting for a long time." After saying that, he had already let Zhang He go, and walked quickly towards the mansion.

Zhang He turned back to look at his back, the smile on his face disappeared, and he frowned and said to himself: "Hejia doesn't know any merchants in the north, so it is unlikely that he is talking about horses. It seems that Liu Taishou is very shrewd, unexpectedly came up with such a There's a way." With that, he turned and left.

After a while, Liu Yu met He Cheng again in the study.This is even more respectful than Zhang He when he saw it. Whether it is his demeanor, actions, or tone of voice, he is more respectful and serious than Zhang He.But this is also normal, Hejia is run-down, and has long wanted to find a chance to rise, but there has been no chance.But this time Liu Yu's interview gave Hecheng hope. How could he not be excited and take it seriously?

"Okay, Ziwen, don't be too restrained. Sit down, drink some water, and let's talk slowly." With a smile in his eyes, Liu Yu was obviously very satisfied with He Cheng.When he chatted with Zhang He, he always felt that Zhang He was unfathomable, and under that respectful expression was indifference.Unlike Cheng, he could feel the fear and respect in his heart.

When He Cheng heard the words, he sat down like Zhang He, but his expression was still respectful, and he cupped his hands and asked: "I have seen the prefect, but I don't know why the prefect called Cheng?"

"Ziwen, I heard that Jingzhou has a bumper harvest this year, and I want someone to buy some food and grass. But I'm a prefect, and I don't know anyone, and I don't have any talents in this field. Alas, you also know that I am short of food and grass." Pretending to be sad, Liu Yu let out a long sigh.

Although He Cheng was not as cunning and cunning as Zhang He, he was not stupid either. He immediately understood what Liu Yu meant and was overjoyed.However, he still looked respectful and said: "The prefect is the clan of the Han family, and Liu Jingzhou is also the clan of the Han family. I believe that the prefect will buy grain and grass, and Liu Jingzhou will definitely not refuse. Oh, by the way, my family and I used to have a relationship with Cai My family has some friendship, but... well, Cheng has the heart to share the prefect's worries, but unfortunately, my family and I have no ability."

While talking, He Cheng thought of the relationship between his family and the Cai family in Jingzhou, so he couldn't help saying it.But he regretted it when he said it, because he and his family hadn't communicated with Cai's family for a long time.

"Ziwen, this matter is easy to hear, but I don't need someone to do it. I don't know if Ziwen is willing to share it for me?" Liu Yu stared at Hecheng like an eagle with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice at the same time.

He Chengting's body trembled, both excited and worried.He naturally heard that Liu Yu was recruiting him, and this might allow him to rejuvenate his family, but can Runan really be occupied by Liu Yu for a long time?If not, wouldn't he and his family be even more desperate when Liu Yu was defeated?

He can't allow him to think too much, and he can't allow him not to choose.The Zhang family has a big family, so they don't have to rely on Liu Yu, but Liu Yu can't touch him yet.But he and his family are just a small family, if they don't choose to attach themselves to Liu Yu, Liu Yu won't reuse them at all, and may even suppress them in anger.

What should I do, should I fight hard and choose to trust him; or would I rather be suppressed than take the risk?

He was conflicted in his heart, but He Cheng could only think for a moment, because Liu Yu was staring at him with piercing eyes, waiting for his answer.

Never mind, so be it!

Taking a deep breath, his eyes became firm, He grew up, bowed to Liu Yu, and slowly said his answer.
