Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36
"Brother Zhang can't be fake. But come on, think about how many people in the world have natural powers like yours? So I predict that the Qinglong Yanyue Saber is heavy, and it must be fast and ruthless. But it can't last long, as long as it catches the first few It's not difficult to beat him! Or before he exerts his strength, take the lead in attacking and catch him by surprise."

Dian Wei looked at Zhou Cang again, and when he looked at Zhou Cang a little embarrassed, Dian Wei said: "I didn't expect you to read it so accurately. I really underestimated you before."

Zhou Cang ignored Dian Wei, and continued to say to Zhang Su and the two: "In that case, you stay with me, but I am going to Beijing with Lord Inspector, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Lord Inspector, I will write a letter, but First go to Zhoujiabao, Woniugang, to meet my foster brother Pei Yuanshao. He is currently organizing refugees to farm and is short of manpower. Su Shuang can be in charge of farming, Zhang Shiping can still do business, Zhoujiabao grain and salt roads are smooth, if we can add more horse roads It couldn't be better." Zhou Cang took out the slip of paper and said while writing, "It's just that what the two of you said, don't say anything, because if you say it, no one will believe it, and if you say it, Liu Guanzhang will not let you go. You two should change your names, Zhang Shiping is called Zhang Shuang, and Su Shuang is called Su Ping. Let’s meet again when I return to Xuzhou.”

"Okay, we are willing to obey your lord's arrangement." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping said, both of them were shocked, why didn't they expect that Liu Bei would quietly send someone to kill them?
"Furthermore, I see that now that the Yellow Turban Army has risen, Zhoujiabao is also in a place of right and wrong. The low mountain of Wolonggang cannot accommodate many people. You can discuss with Pei Yuanshao to send people to Mount Meng and Dabie Mountain respectively to recruit refugees. Mengshan is near Yishui, near Xuzhou; Dabie Mountain, Emperor Wu once said: the south of the mountain is full of flowers, and the north of the mountain is covered with snow. The big fruit of this mountain is different from other mountains!" Zhou Cang immediately thought of two old areas.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Zhang and Su understood it by heart. "Thank you for taking me in, business is my old business, and I will live up to my lord's entrustment. However, Xuzhou is far away from Saibei, so I'm afraid the road will be blocked."

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to go to Saibei, you can operate locally in Xuzhou. You can discuss the cost with Pei Yuanshao. He has contacts with the Chen family and the Mi family in Xuzhou. He can introduce you. Don't worry too much about doing business with them. Just be fair and reasonable." You need to learn more about gold, silver and jade wares, Pei Yuanshao has a lot to sell."

Zhou Cang thought for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, the most urgent thing is to settle down your home first, and keep your useful body. Remember, business is also based on safety. As the saying goes: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Then Within ten years, I, Zhou Cang, promise you that I will avenge you within ten years, and since I can’t catch these three people in front of you, I will also let them experience the pain of losing their wealth and their wives and children!”

"Thank you, sir!" Su and Zhang fell to their knees in unison.

"No need to be like this, please hurry up." Zhou Cang helped the two of them, "You don't have to worry, since you follow me, we will run the business together, and then it will inevitably give you a lot of wealth, and even become an official."

"Ah? We merchants can also be officials? My lord doesn't know. Although we have earned some money through business, we have never been in the upper class and are not accepted by the gentry. We still want to donate an official position to future generations."

"Donated officials will be looked down upon even more. What are merchants afraid of? As long as you have the ability and don't commit crimes, you can be an official with your own ability. Just now you said descendants, do you have children?" Zhou Cang asked.

"Exactly, dog Zhang Jin, ten years old, can already read and write." Zhang Shuang replied.

"Su Yang, the dog, is nine years old. He can read and write, and he even learned some arithmetic from me." Su Ping replied.

"Well, they are still young. It doesn't matter, let them follow you first. Wen, I will learn from you first, and then I will invite you, sir. Wu, you can ask Pei Yuanshao for advice. When they grow up, it depends on whether they study literature or martial arts. Reuse. By the way, you can find more clever children in Zhoujiabao, teach them to read, write and do math, and help you in the future."

Zhang Shuang said again, "Your Excellency has given us so much kindness that you can't repay us. The two of us came here with two BMWs, both of which were purchased with a lot of money from the Western Regions a year ago. One is called the Red Rabbit Rouge Beast. It is as red as burning coals, without half a hair, and is ten feet long from head to tail; a horse called Huang Fei Dian with claws, its whole body is snow white, with four yellow hooves, its temperament is noble and extraordinary, and its arrogance is incomparable. They are wild and don't go in groups with other horses, so they don't dare to put them in the stables. They only breed in the suburbs, and they escaped unharmed. The two horses are presented to the adults, but these two horses are just over two years old, and they will be returned as war horses. Needs training."

Zhou Cang burst into tears, and he casually said a word. The ten-year agreement brought them two people to take refuge with all their hearts. They also brought two horses and two BMWs. It's a pity that they are not blessed to enjoy them. If there is no gift for this year's festival, the gift will be fine. Send the red rabbit horse.

Zhou Cang suddenly remembered something again, "Did that iron shoe ever fall into Liu Bei's hands?"

Zhang Shiping shook his head and said, "That's not true. The horseshoes that your lord gave me that day have been taken down and asked the craftsmen to make them as they are. Because they haven't been finished yet, I didn't bring them with me when I went out this time. When Liu Guanzhang came to ask for belongings, he saw only the shoes When ordinary agricultural tools were ignored, they were all lost or returned to the blacksmith shop. The unfinished horse lance was discarded even if they didn't recognize it as a treasure. The only person in the world who uses that kind of craftsmanship is the lord's horse lance. .”

"That's good. When you go to Woniugang, take away the blacksmiths and other craftsmen in the village. The Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou has already attacked, and Youzhou will not be peaceful for long. If you can discard the property, discard it. Talent is the main thing. Lost property , we will earn it back in the future." Zhou Cang felt relieved, as long as the horseshoe hadn't been lost.

Zhang Su couldn't understand the concept of putting people first, and the two only felt that Zhou Cang was showing kindness.

"My lord, why don't you take a look at the two horses?" Su Shuang said.

Zhou Cang waved his hand: "No need, there are too many people with mixed eyes. You are experts, I can rest assured that the BMW you are talking about must be a thousand-mile horse that travels thousands of miles a day and [-] nights. And I also heard that the red rabbit horse crosses mountains and trudges like shoes. Flat ground; the claws are yellow and the electric gallops like flying, like lightning, they are all BMWs." Zhou Cang was actually afraid that he would not be able to pull his eyes out, and the two horses were going to be given away by himself.He ordered Ganchi and Chen Zhong to take the horse away and take good care of it. Paint the horse with variegated colors or mud so that no one could see it. They also prepared a horse for each of Zhang Su and stayed overnight for the two of them.

The next day Zhang and Su changed their horses, left and went back to lead the family to Zhoujiabao. Zhou Cang allocated five guards for them to accompany them all the way.Tao Qian led Zhou Cang and others to set off for Hanoi.
