Chapter 121: There is a way to give up and gain

In the era in which Liu Kan lived in his previous life two thousand years later, the geographical coordinates were 27 degrees 39’ to 29 degrees 20’ north latitude, and 105 degrees 08’41’ to 106 degrees 28’ east longitude, there was a city with 121.64 kilometers east and west and 181.84 kilometers north and south, called Luzhou.

This place was under the rule of Liangzhou during the Xia and Shang dynasties and was named Ba State in the Zhou Dynasty.

In the fifth year of King Shenliang of Zhou, that is, in 316 BC, about 99 years before the time when Liu Kan said he was living, King Huiwen of Qin sent Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo to capture Bashu and established Ba County in the same year. At the same time, a small city called Jiangyang was quietly formed.

This Jiangyang is the Luzhou of later generations.

This place is the junction between the southern end of the parallel Fuzhangling Valley area in southeastern Sichuan and the Dalou Mountain.

At the same time, it is a zone that transitions from the southern edge of the Sichuan Basin to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with the landform characteristics of hills around the basin and mountains around the basin. It is high in the south and low in the north, with river water as the erosion base surface, and tilts from south to north.

The Jiang'an-Naxi-Hejiang line is the boundary, with the middle and low mountains on the south side, and the north side is mostly hilly terrain.

Some people may say why Liu Kan knew such a place? The reason is very simple, because Liu Kan loved Luzhou Laojiao in his past life, and at the same time lived in Sichuan for many years, his footprints can be said to be spread throughout the Sichuan Basin.

(Okay, I admit...I like to drink Luzhou)

Garriet Lu widened her eyes and looked at Liu Kan in shock. Her mouth opened slightly, and it took her a long time to say, "A Kan, do you want to send Huadiao to Shuzhong?"

I immediately took a deep breath and said loudly: "No, I don't agree!"

His voice became a little louder, and he shivered in fear of Lu Shizhi and Wang Xin who were waiting to be summoned at the door.

"Brother Kan and his sister are arguing!"

Lu Shizhi immediately reacted and pushed Wang Xin, "Xin, hurry up and find aunt and the others..."

At the same time, I was muttering in my heart: Huadiao is Brother Kan's source of wealth. Why did he move to Shuzhong forever? Didn't he cut off his own wealth? However, since Brother Kan escaped from death, he was very clever and almost caught up with me. It must make sense for him to do this.

Put it on the door, Lu Shizhi listened with his ears.

Liu Kan had long guessed that Patriot Lu would have such a fierce reaction, so she was not in a hurry. Instead, she pulled her down and poured her a glass of water.

"I know, you will definitely object; and I know that even Brother Qi will not agree for a while. Ah, the problem lies here... What you see is in front of you. Brother Qi may see farther than you, but only this cup. Do you understand what I mean?"

Liu Kan took two bronze lords, one placed in front of Lu Geng, and the other was slightly further away.

Patriot Lu looked at Liu Kan in confusion, without refuting.

"But I..." Liu Kan took a deep breath and said, "I have to look there."

Liu Kan said, pointing his hand to the dozen or so copper ears on another table, "Ah, are you satisfied with our current life?"

Garriage Lu nodded slightly, "Of course I'm satisfied!"

"But if I tell you that in a few years, maybe more than ten years, this prosperity in front of us may turn into ruins, can you believe it?"

"ah?"

"Five hundred years of Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and to this day, the Qin Dynasty has a population of 27 million.

But what would you think if I told you that in ten years, or twenty years later, it might be less than 20 million, or even less?"

Liu Kan's sudden words made Patriot Lu's face turn pale.

"A Kan, what do you mean?"

Liu Kan closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, "Grandpa, do you remember the ambush we had when we escaped from Shan's father and passed through Sishui?"

Lu Geng nodded, stood up suddenly, pushed open the door, and happened to see Lu Shizhi lying on the door.

"Shizhi, go outside and stare. If someone comes, please notify me immediately."

Lu Shizhi was reluctant, but when he saw the cold light flashing in Lu Yu's eyes, he shivered and turned around and left obediently.

At this moment, the second sister is really similar to the eldest sister.

"A Kan, you continue."

Liu Kan smiled slightly and said softly: "That day, I had a dream. I dreamed of the fire everywhere, fighting everywhere, the black dragon flag was trampled on, and the gorgeous houses collapsed... After waking up, I understood! Could the black dragon flag be...

From that day on, I have been living in a sense of panic.

Even if I make wine and make money, even if I kill people, even if I become an official... But this feeling of uneasiness is getting heavier and heavier.

Ah, you and I are one now, a family... I don’t want to hide anything from you.

If the Qin Dynasty was gone, and I was an old Qin, and my hands were covered with blood from descendants of the Six Kingdoms, what would you think would end?"

Patriot Lu did not answer, nor did he need to answer.

Because the answer is very clear: if such a thing really happens, then Liu Kan and everyone around Liu Kan will be in trouble.

"I tried my best to climb up in the hope that before the troubled times came, I could accumulate enough strength to protect you, my mother, and everyone around me. If it was just a dream, it would be best. But what if it wasn't?"

"A Kan..."

Liu Kan reached out to cover Lu Ge's mouth, shook his head gently and said, "Listen to me...Ah, we may look very glorious now, but when the troubled times come, our little glory is not enough. Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed. If a great chaos really happens, Sishui County will become the main battlefield, and all you and I have will be burned down by then."

Lu Ge's face was pale and his delicate body was trembling slightly.

"Lou Cang, a small place." Liu Kan whispered: "If the troubled times really come, if we want to survive in the troubled times, we can only make ourselves strong as soon as possible. I don't know how much time there is, but I vaguely feel that it will not be too far away.

I am now Kura Ling and enjoy a fourth-class title.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be extremely noble, but in fact? You and I know that it is not worth mentioning.

I need to climb faster, I need a stronger partner to help me and promote me... The Bashu Qin family is very suitable.

Moreover, Brother Qi’s bar is now very prosperous, but it is afraid it will be difficult to preserve after the troubled times come.

This is our vitality and we cannot lose it. Therefore, I want to send Huadiao to Shu. There is a method to brew wine in Shu. The specialty of "Baxiangqing" wine was once a tribute wine for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even before that, Baxiangqing was still the tribute wine for the Heavens of Lao Qin. If I hadn't brewed Long Live Wine, I would have been afraid that it would still be the case now. I sent Huadiao to Bashu, on the one hand, so that Huadiao could continue to survive.

On the other hand, it is also connected with Bashu.

It seems that I have given up a lot, but in fact I have gained more. At least, under the current circumstances, with the prestige of the Qin family and the connections of the Qin family, I will bring me more wealth. Of course, this is not what I think, what I value is the power behind the Qin family.

Ah, I know that this matter sounds like at first, and you may not be able to accept it.

But if you are willing to give up, you can gain something... Let's give up today, just to get more in the future. Please understand me."

Garriage Lu nodded...

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a calm voice coming from outside the door.

"A Kan, mom supports you!"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Kan walked in with the help of Liu Ju. She had a heartfelt smile on her face.

"This has always been worrying, worrying that you have been doing well in the past two years, and worrying that you will be unrestrained because of the scenery.

I heard you say these words today, mom is so happy.

My son understands the principle of being born in distress and dying in happiness, so our Liu family will not be bad. If your father is here, you will definitely be happier.

There is a way to give up and gain... A Kan, you said it well, you said it well!"

Liu Ju also opened his mouth and giggled, "Brother, I support you too. Whoever dares to touch you, I will tear him."

Liu Kan and Lu Geng stood up and called out 'Mom' in unison. But after hearing Mrs. Kan's words, a warm current surged in Liu Kan's heart. He nodded gently, "Mother, don't worry... The child will never be proud and be careful."

"I have heard of Bajun."

Mrs. Kan said in a deep voice: "If it is really as you said, there will be a good place to come in troubled times. When my mother was young, she heard people say that Mengchangjun had a cunning rabbit's three holes. Now, thinking about it, A Kan, you plan ahead and it is not appropriate to use this plan.

Ba County can be a cave, and the building is your foundation.

As for Peixian... To be honest, whether it is you or Ah Yu's home, the foundation is not very deep there. It is better to open another land as a place for you to establish a career. I did not agree with the matter of boiling sea in Dongmenque. However, what you said just now is a channel for building a foundation. It is located in a remote place and it is probably difficult to attract others' eyes. You can just take it."

Most of the time, Mrs. Kan gives Liu Kan the feeling that she is an old woman who follows the rules.

But at this moment, Mrs. Kan talked happily and felt quite instructive, which made Liu Kan and Lv Guy have to look at each other with admiration.

Mrs. Kan smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. When I was not married to your father, my mother was also a talented woman from Luoyang. She had read a lot of books and heard a lot of things."

As he spoke, his face was already showing an old face, and a blush appeared.

Liu Kan gave a wink at Lu Ge, and then said, "Grandpa, go and tell Shi Zhi, let him go back to Pei County overnight. After seeing Shen Jiqi, let Brother Qi and Wushang leave Pei County immediately and join me in Tan County... Well, let Shi Zhi go to Tan County to meet together."

Garriage Lu nodded and walked out.

"Jiu, go outside and watch for your mother. She wants to tell your brother something."

Liu Juhanhan nodded and went out with Jade Lu.

"Little Pig, remember it. After arriving in Pei County, you are not allowed to go home or chat with anyone. After seeing Shen Shiqi, you will immediately follow them.

What you hear today is not allowed to spread.

If I had let me know the slightest bit of the news, no matter whether you said it or not, I wouldn't let you go, do you understand?"

In front of the official office, Lu Xiaoxiao looked cold and stared at Lu Shizhi.

Little pig is Lu Shizhi's nickname. Lu Shizhi nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, second sister, I can't say anything, even my parents."

"Go quickly."

Lu Shizhi responded, led a horse, beat the horse and whipped it away.

Garriage Lu breathed a sigh of relief on the steps of the official office. The words Liu Kan said just now made her dizzy.

The cold wind blew over her, which made her more or less awake.
