Chapter 155

"Your Majesty, I really can't afford to buy this official."

When Liu Bei heard that Emperor Ling mentioned that the price could be negotiated, he insisted that he had no money?

Emperor Ling smiled: "Don't hide it from me, my younger brother. The reed mats in your hand, Song Changfu, sold for 2000 yuan a piece, and 150 million yuan is only two hundred. Since my brother has no money, it is better to use the reed mats." In exchange, I only charge you [-]."

"Uh! Your Majesty doesn't know that the reed mats are all woven from the reed grass in your own home. Last year when the Yellow Turbans rebelled, all the savings in the minister's home were burned by the Yellow Turban thieves. Besides, even a few reed mats are not worth your Majesty's 2000 million yuan." , I only sell one piece for a thousand dollars in Zhuojun."

When Liu Bei saw that Emperor Ling wanted to buy the official himself, Liu Bei could only use the price of Wei Xi to distract Emperor Ling.

One thousand yuan per piece, Lingdi stared at him. What he was thinking at this time was not Song Dian's high price of 150 yuan per piece, but how much he could earn if he had [-] reed seats at this time. He hurriedly said: "Then this year's reed mat Has the grass been harvested?"

"Uh?"

At this time Liu Bei understood the meaning of setting himself on fire: "Your Majesty, I haven't returned to Zhuojun since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but the family members have sent a message that there is nothing special about the reed mat this year. If it can't be sold in Zhuojun, it will be fed to livestock."

"It's a pity, it's a pity! If it is shipped to the capital, I can sell it for at least tens of millions of dollars, and Huangfu Yizhen's military expenses will be paid for in ten months!"

Emperor Ling's sudden sigh of worrying about the country and the people made Liu Bei extremely uncomfortable. After sighing, Emperor Ling suddenly said to the forty merchants: "Mum, remember to ask Song Dian to return the money I bought for the reed mat. It is unreasonable to dare to earn money!"

"promise!"

Grandma!In Liu Bei's mind, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in his ears. Lingdi's mother was the empress dowager Dong, a nobleman in Shenyuan, and his wet nurse was Zhao Rao. The merchant in front of him was obviously a man—only the great Changqiu Zhao Zhong.

Da Changqiu: The Queen's Qing, the person who announced the decree for the Queen, two thousand stones.

Emperor Ling cast his eyes on Liu Bei again, and said: "My brother, don't quibble, Dongjun Buji has collected the wealth of Yanzhou and Dongjun Puyang, my brother broke Puyang, how can I say that I have no money."

Seeing that Liu Bei was still about to refute, Zhao Zhong picked up the Tiger Talisman and said: "The world belongs to His Majesty, how can the Marquis refuse it again and again!"

Zhao Zhong's voice suddenly became so soft that Liu Bei panicked, and he took the tiger talisman in Zhao Zhong's hand like a ghost.

Only then did Lingdi smile with satisfaction: "My brother, is that right?"

Liu Bei was still a little dazed when he walked out of the West Garden. Gao Wang looked a bit lonely as he led the way. Before Liu Bei left the palace, he gave Gao Wang a piece of gold cake, but Gao Wang refused to accept it and returned the previous jade ornaments to Liu Bei: "Since Master Hou is valued by Zhao Changqiu, naturally there is no need for someone!"

Zhao Changqiu, it really was Zhao Zhong, Liu Bei wanted to explain something, but Gao Wang strode away, Liu Bei was playing with the tiger talisman in his hand, but he was worried, how should he explain to Cai Yong when he returned to Cai Mansion, could it be that he himself Don't know what's going on?
After Liu Bei left, Emperor Ling said in a very low voice: "Mum, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave must satisfy His Majesty."

As soon as Emperor Ling left, an eunuch appeared at Tianxia Shop, and the eunuch laughed when he saw Zhao Zhong: "Great Changqiu is really good at tricks, with a little trick, you can make the thief busy for nothing."

Zhao Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his smile spread: "Your Majesty's mind has changed, Sheng Thief will not be happy for long! That's right! You heard what His Majesty said just now! Send the money as soon as possible, so I can make business with Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Emperor Ling asked Zhao Zhong to take back the money for Weixi from Song Dian, and the eunuch was Song Dian.Song Dian said aggrievedly: "Well, Da Changqiu, you also know how far Zhuo County is from Luoyang, and there are bandits obstructing it, so it's true that XX didn't ask His Majesty how much?"

Zhao Zhong's eyes were fixed: "When is it! I still can't bear to give up a little money. Now we want to let you trust us again. Sheng Thief and He Jinjin are pressing harder and harder. Zhang Rang wants to bow to He Jin again, and he won't give up some money. You and I will lose our heads!"

Song Dian gritted his teeth and said, "It's from a certain place."

Zhao Zhong said with satisfaction: "That's right! If Liu Xuande's subordinates really have no money, I'm afraid that the money for buying an official from General Huben Zhonglang will fall on my head!"

Song Dian sneered: "This Liu Xuande is pretending to be stupid. I know that he has obtained the legacy of the sages. Tens of millions of money are not a problem. What's more, the Cai family of Chenliu, the Jian family of Zhuojun, the Yan family of Wuyuan, and the Su style of Zhongshan are all wealthy merchants." Dazu, tens of millions of dollars in exchange for a tiger and benzhonglang general is really worth it!"

"Oh!"

Zhao Zhong's eyes suddenly became extremely bright.

Liu Bei returned to the Cai Mansion, pacing up and down in front of the door but refused to knock on the door.

"Brother Xuande, are you really waiting for someone on purpose?"

A person suddenly appeared in front of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei, who was contemplating, almost bumped into him. When he heard a familiar voice, he looked up and saw Jian Yong standing in front of him with a smile.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and hugged Jian Yong: "Xianhe, how fast!"

Jian Yong smiled: "Brother Xuande must have something important to call, how dare Yong not hurry? Besides, there are two more urgent than Yong? Do they think it is too late for Yong to be so quick?"

Jian Yong turned around, and behind him were two petite soldiers in well-fitting armor, with a three-foot-long sword hanging from their waists. They looked at Liu Bei with teary eyes, and said softly, "My lord."

Jian Hao and Yan Ruo'er, why did they come to Luoyang?Liu Bei suddenly felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and finally placed Huang Diewu in a side house in Luoyang, it's all right now!These two are coming!
Liu Bei smiled wryly: "Here we come! Xianhe has worked hard from afar, so let's go to the mansion to rest for a while before continuing."

"Brother, you are back!"

Before Liu Bei led Jian Yong and the second daughter into the back house, Cai Jue trotted into Liu Bei's arms and yelled softly.

Jian Hao's complexion was fairly good-looking, but Yan Ruo'er snorted extremely displeased, she knew that sooner or later a vixen would sneak in when she was not around with her husband.

Cai Jue was only five or six years old, and he broke away from Liu Bei's arms when he heard the soft voice, looked at Jian Huo and Yan Ruo'er, and said strangely: "Brother, why does this strong man speak so softly?"

"That's because she is a girl like Jue'er."

Cai Yan walked out slowly from the back. Although her posture was quite in the style of everyone, her walk out of the back house revealed that she was looking forward to Liu Bei's return just like Cai Jue. Cai Jue was waiting for Liu Bei to tell a story. I can't figure it out myself!Cai Yan looked at Jian Yu and Yan Ruo'er, and said, "Are these two sisters brother's concubine?"

Jian Xuan nodded slightly, at the beginning Liu Bei wanted to marry her, but Jian and her insisted on being concubines in order to calm the turmoil in Zhuocheng, and now there is nothing to hide.

Yan Ruo'er was not so good-tempered. She might have been a wife at first, but it was all because of old man Cai's intrusion, so she could only be a concubine!The little girl in front of me is probably the husband's wife!

Wife and husband are both masters, concubines and servants have almost the same status, how can Yan Ruo'er be in a good mood?
