Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 141 The Dark Chess Has Been Laid Out
"Huh? Today's beef is tender and full of flavor, very delicious." Shen Dan tasted the beef and couldn't help but praise it.

The servant on the side smiled and said: "Master, recently there are many local specialties brought in by traveling merchants. What you eat is Yizhou Yellow Cattle, so the taste is naturally different."

Shen Tan laughed and said: "That's good, that's good. I can find him to buy more. There are very few traveling merchants here who are willing to come. It's not easy to catch up with them once. I don't know when I can eat next time."

Shen Yi at the side frowned and looked at the dark red liquid in the glass: "What kind of wine is this? I haven't seen it before."

"It's the latest trending wine."

"Oh? Is this the aged wine from Chengdu?"

The servant shook his head and said, "There are no old wine merchants, this is just ordinary wine."

Shen Yi took a sip and raised her eyebrows: "The taste is sweet and sweet, and it doesn't have the harsh taste of ordinary fruit wine. It's really not bad."

But he immediately became angry again, because he knew that Liu Feng's family had aged wine, and it was said that it was a gift from the prince, but that guy never brought it out to entertain them.

"Hmph." Shen Yi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, thinking inwardly, "When things are done, let's see how crazy you are!"

The traveling caravan sells a variety of things, such as cattle and tea from Yizhou, rice from Jingzhou, salted fish from Soochow, and even medicinal materials from Nanzhong... Recently, they have been selling among the three counties, and they are very popular.

As the largest wealthy family here, the Shen family contributed more than half of the caravan's sales.

The servants of Shen's family had served their master for dinner, so they came to the small gate and found the young man who was still waiting at the gate of the mansion.

This young man has a simple and honest face, and his large and thick robe conceals his strong physique. Seeing him come out at this time, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, how are you? Are the two generals satisfied with the things we sell?"

When has that servant been called Mr.Seeing how sweet his mouth is, it makes this simple and honest young man more pleasing to the eye.

"That's right, what you bought is indeed a good item, the general is very happy."

The young man immediately smiled: "It's so good, very good, thank you sir, so that we will dare to buy more when we come next time. I don't know what is the favorite thing in the house?"

As the young man said, he handed over a string of copper coins under his hand.

The servant lowered his head and saw that it was a hundred coins issued by the King of Hanzhong, and his face was gentle and friendly again.

With the full operation of Yizhou officials and the cooperation of Liu Chan's use of Zhao's business name, with Shu brocade and wine as an offensive, Zhibaiqian has basically restored the reputation of copper coins in Jingyi and Yizhou.

The big clans all over the country have either actively or forcedly used this kind of currency, and after they took the lead, they also began to quickly influence the people.

Nowadays, not only the two places of Jing and Yi, but also some people in the surrounding areas near Wei and Wu have begun to use the Zhibai coins issued by Lao Liu.

As for this matter, it has not yet attracted the attention of the two high-level officials.

Although the East Three Counties are relatively closed, after such a long time, they are considered to be under the rule of Lao Liu, so naturally they have already begun to circulate and use them.

This servant patiently told the young man all the favorite products of the Shen family brothers, and then asked: "If you can get the aged wine, I think the general will not be stingy, and maybe there will be other rewards if you are happy."

The young man smiled helplessly and said, "You also know that those are all made by big merchants like Zhao's firm, and small caravans like ours with no background can't get them."

But immediately he clasped his hands and said: "But this time I have been rewarded by the Shen family, and I have waited for a worthwhile trip. In the future, the capital will increase, and there will definitely be more good things. At that time... I will ask you to take care of me."

"It's easy to say, as long as you wait for good things, my Shen family will not be able to pay."

"That's that."

That simple and honest young man was sweet-talking and would come up with trouble again, and after a while, the Shen family servant was a little dizzy, and he was already calling him brother and brother in words.

"Brother Wang, it seems that some northerners have come here recently? They don't come to the Shen family to discuss business, do they? It's not easy to do business. I'm really afraid that someone will take the opportunity."

The servants of the Shen family waved their hands: "No one came to compete with you for business. Those people are not merchants. They are all distinguished guests of my Shen family, and their status is by no means ordinary."

The young man's eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, a little care is not enough to show respect. If the Shen family needs anything in the future, Brother Wang will let you know."

After that, he handed over another bunch of copper coins.

"You and I hit it off right away, you don't need to be so polite, hehe." The servant surnamed Wang said on his lips, but he took the money very deftly.

Since Shen's family left, the young man returned to the caravan, and when he walked, his figure and gait were no different from ordinary people.

It's just that if there are experts here, they may be able to find that every step of his feet is extremely stable...

Shangyong came with a small caravan.

In Xicheng County, there was an extra homeless man. Because he was good at martial arts in the army, he was hired by the Shen family's trilogy master who was stepping up his training there as a guard at home to teach trilogy martial arts.

And Meng Da asked his confidant, Deng Fu, the prefect of Fangling, to expand the source of troops. There was also a tall and strong man who was appreciated by the superiors as soon as he joined the army for his bravery, and he was immediately made a chief.

……

After the Shen brothers had dinner, when there were only two of them left, Shen Dan asked, "How are the preparations for Liu Feng's 'advice' going?"

That Liu Feng endured it for a long time, but after waiting and waiting, there was still no news, and finally looked for Meng Da again in a rage.

Meng Da only said that he also visited the door many times and worked hard. The Shen brothers finally promised to finish the matter as soon as possible.

Seeing that they couldn't drag it on any longer, they decided to bleed Liu Feng with some blood, and calm him down for the time being.

Shen Yi said: "It's almost done, I'll send him a letter, stating the money, food and materials I have prepared, and then send a generous gift, I think it will make him settle down."

Shen Dan nodded: "Don't be stingy, not only do you need to prepare more etiquette, but also don't make too much difference in money and food. The most important thing at the moment is to keep him safe. Once Wei Wang's army arrives, let him double as much as he eats this time." Spit it out."

"Yes, brother."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a murderous intent hidden in their smiles.

……

Liu Feng received a letter sent by the Shen family brothers, which recorded the money, food and materials of the "upper plan".

"Money is 313 million, all kinds of food total 114 shi, gold..."

There are various miscellaneous items behind, such as arable land, population statistics, etc. Liu Feng did not continue to look back.

He handed this thing over to his little officials to calculate, but he couldn't understand these complicated things.

But he is still very satisfied. Although he instinctively felt that it was a little less, the three counties were not a rich place in the first place. The Shen family brothers can show these things, at least it is an attitude.

Then the envoy of the Shen family said: "General, I still have a message to convey."

Then he looked around, Liu Feng waved away the idlers and others.

The emissary said with a smile: "General, the Patriarch has prepared another small gift for the General, and I hope the General will accept it with a smile. The Patriarch hopes to cooperate sincerely with the General in the future, so as to help His Majesty decide on the great cause early."

Then he presented another gift list.

Liu Feng waved his hands and said with a smile: "Hahaha, the two Generals Shen don't have to do this. They will be dedicated to the public, not for personal gain. If the two generals have the heart, they can plan this ceremony together."

The servant was taken aback, but anyway, this gift was given away, maybe Liu Feng was just talking about the scene, who knows if you are playing tricks or accepting it yourself?

So he didn't say anything, and left.

Liu Feng roughly glanced at the gift list, gold, money, silk, rare animal skins... Although it was far worse than what was planned above, it was indeed a generous gift for an individual.

In fact, the wealth of the Shen family is also related to the Mian River. The mud at the bottom of the river in the Mian River can be used to wash out gold sand.

Although the gold sand in Mianshui is not easy to obtain, and the output is much lower than that of gold mines, it is still a considerable and stable income.

The Shen family brothers sent a large number of gold diggers to dig for gold at the bottom of the river all the year round. These women exchanged their hard life and harsh working environment for the Shen family's gold income.

And they own gold every day, but they can't even eat enough, and they will be insulted and whipped if they are a little slack.

It is not uncommon for gold diggers to die due to fatigue and hardship every month.

Regarding the generous gifts in his hands, although Liu Feng had the concept that "the brothers of the Shen family have amassed so much money", but he was more concerned with receiving rewards for meritorious service, and he did not have much specific understanding of these things as he expanded the land and worshiped generals.

"General, there is still someone outside the mansion asking to see you." A servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Shen's servant just left, who is this?

Liu Feng said: "Do you know who is coming?"

"He offered something, and he only said that the general would know it after seeing it."

"bring here."

The servant opened the door and entered, and handed him something.

After Liu Feng saw it, he was surprised at first, and then he said happily: "Let him in quickly!"

At this time, what Liu Feng was holding was actually a jade ring that he presented to Liu Chan when Jingzhou parted...

　Thank you brothers for your active voting, thank you everyone!
