I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 365 Brother Sent Them For You

Soon after, Liu Jian, who had become a champion, arrived in Yecheng.

This time, Liu Jian returned to Yecheng and brought his father, mother, and brother Liu Kang with him.

The family happily finally got together in Yecheng.

After Zheng Ci married into the Liu family, he did not show filial piety to Liu's father and mother for a few days, and soon followed Liu Jian to Beijing.

Now meeting with her parents-in-law again, the woman who was a wife at the beginning of the year has now become the mother of two children.

In addition to Bian Yuer's two children, there are four children in total, two boys, two girls, and only Liu Zhou and Hu Shi are very happy.

The old couple circled around the four children almost every day, hugging one for a while, coaxing the other for a while, really enjoying the bliss and happiness of the family.

Seeing that Liu Jian's family was so close, Liu Bei also proposed to send his wife and children to Yecheng to reunite with his mother.

This was far beyond Liu Jian's expectations.

"My sister-in-law is taking care of my brother in Qingzhou, why do you want her and the child to come back to Yecheng?"

Liu Bei took a juicy peach from the fruit plate on the table, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"Crack clap."

"To be honest, Qingzhou is still a bit close to the front line. I don't feel relieved to have my wife and children there with me! Putting them in the hinterland of Jizhou can be described as a layer of protection. Even if I have something to do on the front line in the future, I can't worry about my own family. There are no descendants, besides, my mother and my uncle and aunt are here, so there are more family members to take care of, right?"

After that, Liu Bei quickly took a few mouthfuls and gnawed the peach clean.

"Men, if you want to make great achievements outside, you must have a solid rear, right?"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "What you said really touched me...don't let the peach pits go indiscriminately?"

While eating, Liu Bei looked at the peach pit that Mei threw on the table, and wondered, "Where do you put it?"

"garbage can."

Liu Jian pointed to a small cylindrical copper bowl next to Liu Bei.

"What a novelty..."

Liu Bei stretched out his hand to throw the peach pits into the trash can, and said with a smile: "After the mine, it is indeed different. If you dare to use copper to make this instead of the old one, wouldn't uncle break your leg?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Liu Jian rolled his eyes: "Go back to Qingzhou quickly and send your wife and children over!"

"Don't rush me, I have just arrived in Yecheng for a few days, and you won't allow me to spend a few days with my mother, so you are driving me away again..."

Liu Jian sighed: "The main thing is that you are really not doing business here. You don't do anything all day, just wandering around the streets...I heard that you bought a lot of furniture yesterday?"

"Hi!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei slapped the table heavily, and said: "To be honest, I don't know where you got so many ideas, this Jizhou craftsman can not only build houses, roads, bridges, You can also make patterned furniture, hey! Just for this reclining chair, I got three of them from the furniture store in Yecheng this time and took them home, and I shook them in turn, and it’s enough to shake for ten years.”

Liu Jian sighed and said, "You are really... the wind of extravagance is not diminishing."

Liu Bei was not convinced: "You still have the nerve to say that I have been rocking on the recliner in the courtyard of Zhuo County since you were a child, for seven or eight years, and now you say I am extravagant?"

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Jian laughed loudly: "If you want it, just tell me, let alone a reclining chair, what kind of table, stool, saddle, wardrobe, chair, I can give you a big set!"

Liu Bei was quite arrogant: "No need, I'm also a state shepherd now, and I don't need money."

"Can Liu Bo'an see the loom samples I sent to Qingzhou?"

"Of course I saw it! The efficiency is very high. Now it has been popularized in Qingzhou. The output of Qingzhou brocade has increased by nearly [-]% compared to last year! And it is still in demand, especially to Xuzhou and Huai. They have established a line with us, and they have a wide range of channels in the southern border, and they can sell [-]% of Qingzhou's green brocade just through their family!"

"The Mi family in the East China Sea?"

Liu Jian murmured slowly: "I've heard that the wealth is incomparable to the country, and everyone has a great career. It is a well-known Haoyou family in Xuzhou."

"Exactly, but the Mi family's appetite is too great. Although our Qingzhou brocade output has doubled, most of the extra volumes were bought by the Mi family. What Liu Bo'an meant is that if Qingzhou brocade is to be widely distributed in the world , not a single channel, in the coming year we have to reduce the share of the Mi family, and expand more other next families."

"Hahahaha!"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu Jian couldn't be happier: "I don't want to, Liu Bo'an's vision is so long-term, I don't think this state shepherd is suitable for him, if he is allowed to do business, within 20 years, he will become the world's richest man! "

Liu Bei said with emotion: "Liu Bo'an is indeed a master in this way."

"However, please, brother, please send me a message to Liu Bo'an, and ask him not to block the purchase of Qingzhou Brocade by Donghai Mi's for the time being, at least not to reduce it for the next two years, although this somewhat violates some business rules."

Liu Bei asked in amazement, "Why?"

Liu Jian did not hide anything from Liu Bei, and immediately explained to him: "Brother, do you know why I established the Hebei Business Association led by the Animal Husbandry Department?"

"Why?"

"It is to control the important resources and industries within the jurisdiction in the hands of the government-led country, such as the minerals in Youzhou, as well as the Qingzhou brocade and printing industry."

"It's not that I'm selfish and narrow-minded, and I don't want to benefit the people. It's just that some key industries will not benefit the majority of Li people once they are distributed to the people. In the end, they will still be monopolized by a few people. Once a few people monopolize the people's livelihood. industry, these people can override the country, and they can rely on the scarce resources in their hands to coerce the country to change government orders and set new regulations, so that more resources in the hands of ordinary people can be concentrated in their hands. In the end, the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the roads are frozen to death... As a member of the court and as the head of the local area, I will not allow any family to monopolize the industry that is related to the country's destiny and people's livelihood."

Liu Bei realized something, but suddenly he thought of something again.

"Now Qingzhou brocade is very popular in Xuzhou and Jiangnan, and it is sought after by scholars. Its value even surpasses five baht coins. Soon, Qingzhou brocade will definitely become a popular item among the people in the southeastern states!"

"This hard currency is operated under the unified leadership of the government in our Hebei territory, but outside of Hebei, it can make a certain family grow huge in an instant, like in Xuzhou, Tao Qian is old, if the Mi family becomes big... ..."

"uh-huh!"

Liu Jian coughed lightly.

"Brother, why is your heart so dark? I've never said that before."

Liu Bei's face turned red when he heard the words.

Naigong's... How did this become my heart?

At this moment, I saw a guard walking towards Liu Jian in a hurry.

"My lord, the frontline spies reported that there are two waves of envoys, one from the west and one from the south, and they have arrived at the nearest charity house in southern Hebei, and they have delivered a floating biography to the local county office."

Liu Jian asked, "Which two groups are you from?"

"Qin Yi, the envoy from Chang'an, all the way. It is said that Ma Rixun, the captain of Shesheng, accompanied him, and Song Zhong from Jingzhou was also with him."

Liu Jian had a headache when he heard this.

He waved his hand to let the messenger go down first, and heaved a long sigh casually.

Liu Bei picked up another peach on the table and asked, "Deran, what's the matter?"

"He came here again for King Chen Liu. It must be that Yuan Shao and Yang Biao from Chang'an had vented their anger, and even tried to persuade me to support King Chen Liu."

"What are you afraid of, just drive them away! Do you still have to see them?"

Liu Jian sighed: "I want to see you. I can't tear myself apart with them right now. At least I have to make them feel that supporting King Chenliu is feasible for me, but I can't do it..."

"It's so tiring." Liu Bei said honestly while eating peaches.

"Thank you." Liu Jian replied dryly.

Afterwards, he stood up, came to Liu Bei, picked up a big peach, and took a bite.

The two brothers gnawed together in the hall.

"This time they were all interested. Yang Biao didn't know what method he used to persuade Ma Rixun to accompany him, but at the same time, he could not arouse the suspicion of the emperor and Dong Zhuo. Then Ma Rixun is Lu Shishi's sect The middle-aged man can be regarded as your uncle and uncle, so it is not easy to lose face."

"There is also Song Zhong, a great Confucian in Nanyang Zhangling. I heard that he wrote nine volumes of "Tai Xuan Jing Zhu", ten volumes of "Zhou Yi Zhu", and thirteen volumes of "Fa Yan Zhu".

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and said, "So what?"

Liu Jian sighed: "The key is that he is also a great Confucian who knows both ancient and modern classics! Like my father-in-law, I heard that when he was teaching and teaching on weekdays, he had many suggestions to list the same style of modern and ancient Chinese in official schools. A rare Confucian scholar who is proficient in both ancient and modern literature, although his reputation is not as good as my father-in-law, but the world often compares the two of them, as the saying goes, Zhengxuan in the North and Zhong in the Song Dynasty."

"Nowadays, my father-in-law's Zheng Xue is a combination of ancient and modern literature, and it is prosperous in both scholars. As the son-in-law of the Zheng family, I am highly respected by scholars. It is said that my disciples of Zheng Xue cannot accommodate things, which is somewhat inappropriate."

Liu Bei sighed with a "tsk tsk", "You are really tired."

"Then what should I do? Can you help me find a way to not get tired?"

Liu Bei threw the peach pits into the trash can, and said, "It's simple! You pretend to be sick, and Qianzhao and I will meet them on your behalf, and pass them off for you, how about it?"

"Pretend to be sick? It's not impossible, but I expect they will bring a lot of gifts when they come here..."

Liu Bei said impatiently: "Hey, it doesn't matter! I'll make up my own mind, and I'll help you see what gifts are there. Just keep them. You can't trust me about this?"

Liu Jian pondered for a while, then said, "That's fine."
