Chapter 51: A real man should be like this

In the golden autumn season, the First Emperor's tour finally came to an end.

I stayed in Pengcheng for nearly thirty days, and during this period I met with the governors of Sishui County, Donghai County and Langya County.

At the end of June, 100,000 households were recruited from Sanchuan County and other places to move to Langya and the East China Sea.

In early July, another 100,000 people were mobilized, saying that they were looking for the Yongding, which came from Zhou Shi and turned into a stream of light during the transportation. Of course, this Yongdingding was never found in the end. As for why the First Emperor did such a thing, no one knew about it.

In mid-July, Emperor Shihuang decided to return to Xianyang when he failed to find the Yongding tripod.

Early in the morning, I saw the flags of Pengcheng waving and colorful flags flying. Teams of elite Qin troops guarding Ying Zheng's carriages and driving out of the Pengcheng gate. Along the way, the black dragon flag was flying. The First Emperor stood on the car, holding the sword in his waist, which was majestic.

The people knelt on both sides of the road, not daring to look up.

In the crowd, several people watched the First Emperor's ceremonial guard drive out of Pengcheng and stood up with the crowd.

Over the past few days, Pengcheng has been on high alert.

Every day, as soon as the city goes dark, the whole city falls into a curfew. This also makes many people feel very uncomfortable. Now that the First Emperor has left, life can finally return to peace. For the people living in Pengcheng, they have indeed breathed a sigh of relief.

When the First Emperor was there, everyone felt panic.

The name of the tyrannical Qin that has been circulating for two hundred years is like a mountain, pressing on the hearts of many people. Although the six kingdoms of Guandong have perished, in the eyes of the people of Pengcheng, the emperor is far away and cannot control them. No wonder, Pengcheng is also under the rule of the Old Chu. The prevalence of Huang-Lao has caused many people to be infected with a free and contentmental atmosphere.

"Brother, this emperor is indeed majestic!"

A man in his thirties couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

There were four or five people around this man. Three men and one woman, one of whom was eight feet tall and had a beautiful beard floating under his jaw.

He looked at the direction where the etiquette was gone with a blurry look, and he didn't speak for a long time.

This made the people around him very anxious. The woman shook his arm gently and whispered: "Liu Ji, are you okay?"

These people were Liu Bang and Lu Wan who left home to find a way to make money.

Since her wedding last year, Liu Bang seemed to have a little sense of responsibility. Soon, he took Lu Wan, Zhou Bo, Chen He and the other two out to look for opportunities. Before leaving, he happened to meet Wu Ji and his son who were preparing to leave home due to business decline in Pei County. After several people discussed, they simply went together. Wu Ji was rich and silk, while Liu Bang and others Kong Wu were powerful, so they could take care of each other.

only……

Wu Ji had already admired Liu Bang very much.

The journey was long, and after a while, a relationship happened.

If it were later generations, such things would definitely be cursed. But this is true for the weathering of Chu. It is also very common for men and women to see things. But it is very normal for them to be in love and live together in a wild family. When both parties have no feelings, they say goodbye and then part ways.

This is true for the parties involved, and the people around them don’t care.

If Wu Ji is willing, it would be normal to hook up with Liu Bang even if he has anything to do with Zhou Bo and others.

No one will fight for this trivial matter. At least Liu Bang won’t, and Zhou Bolu Wan is also guarding the bottom line.

It would be okay to make a few jokes and touch them on weekdays.

With the existence of Wu Ji, this lonely journey has become a bit interesting.

Liu Bang suddenly woke up and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and sighed: "A real man should be like this, a real man should be like this!"

"Brother, be careful!"

Zhou Bo was a very careful person. He heard Liu Bang say this and was shocked and hurried forward and grabbed Liu Bang's arm.

Liu Bang smiled calmly, "Old Zhou, don't worry, I'm very clear-headed."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky and said to everyone: "Let's go back to the inn... His stomach is empty and uncomfortable."

After the group returned to the inn, they asked the shop to prepare food.

Liu Bang sat lazily on the mat, with his arm resting on the window ridge, and his eyes were a little dull and looked at the bustling scene outside.

It seemed that Liu Bang's mood was a little abnormal, and Lu Wan gently pushed Liu Bang.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"How could I have something wrong? I just envy..."

Wu Ji frowned and said softly: "Liu Ji, what are you envious of?"

Liu Bang picked up a wine from the table, took a sip, and ignored Wu Ji, but instead said to himself: "Do it, do it, do it!"

A strange light flashed in Wu Ji's eyes. She stopped asking, wrapped her daughter up and placed it on her legs to feed her.

"If I had known that the Sishui Huadiao was born by the Liu family, why did we come here for this trip?"

Zhou Bo suddenly smiled bitterly and changed the topic, "The Liu family is extraordinary, and he can actually brew such a good wine."

It turns out that the so-called business opportunity of Liu Bang and others is this Sishui Huadiao.

Because the owner of the Huadiao wine was mysterious in the past, all the Huadiao wine came from Pengcheng. Then, according to the situation in various places, the prices vary greatly. What Liu Bang thought at the time was to buy it from Pengcheng at a low price and then buy it in other places.

Earn a difference from it, and if you are lucky, the profit will be very generous.

At the beginning, Liu Bang and others did make a lot of money. However, since the mysterious veil of Sishui Flower Carving was lifted at the beginning of the year, merchants from all over the country flocked to Pei County. The price advantage of Pengcheng was suddenly gone. At the same time, the prices in various places also adjusted accordingly.

From the difference of one or two thousand yuan at the beginning to the difference of one or two hundred yuan now, the profits of Liu Bang and others have almost shrunk to nowhere. Transportation, food and accommodation... are all cost money. Liu Bang bought a batch of wine at the end of the year, and all of them were all in his hands. The price advantage was gone, and merchants from all over the country could purchase goods directly, which was equivalent to breaking Liu Bang's life.

The most miserable thing is that Liu Bang had a lot of inventory, and finally sent it to Ji County. It took a hundred days to clear the goods.

profit……

Almost nothing.

He barely saved his capital and even lost more than half of the money he had earned earlier.

Lu Wan pounded the table hatefully and gritted her teeth and said, "The Liu family boy is too bullying. This time I have been in vain for a year."

Zhou Bo frowned, "Wan, I'm afraid this is no wonder. It's just that we are not lucky..."

Liu Bang nodded, "That's right, it's just that we are not lucky, don't take our anger on others. Wan, you should just magnify your mind. When I passed Mount Tai last year, I heard a book of books, and there was one sentence that was very impressive."

Lu Wan was stunned and asked quickly, "Brother, what is it? Let me tell you, let me know more."

Liu Bang smiled faintly and beat Lu Wan, "The dead are like this, the dead are like this... I later asked others for advice. The meaning of this sentence is that what has passed is over, don't always read it in your heart. That's right, it will confuse your eyes."

"Liu Ji!"

Wu Ji suddenly said, "Ask a matter with you, can you share the money? I want to leave here!"

"Leave? Where to go?"

Liu Bang and Zhou Bo looked at Wu Ji in surprise, wondering why she suddenly said such things. This year, it was not peaceful, so Wu Ji suddenly proposed to leave. What does it mean?

"Actually, I wanted to say a few days ago, but the emperor is here, and everyone is in a bad mood..."

Wu Ji was not afraid of the sharp eyes of the four old men and said to herself: "A few days ago, I met a person, my brother of my family, who now lives in Chen County... You also know that after Wang Jian defeated Chen, my family and I were separated. I thought they were all dead, but I didn't expect that my brother was still alive and now he lives in Chen County... he is very good."

"You little slut, isn't this taking advantage of the situation?"

Lu Wan was furious, "I know that we had just bought a bank in business, but we proposed to split up at this time? I think it's not a brother of our family, I'm afraid it's your new wild man. Why, I dislike my elder brother and feel wronged?"

Wu Ji runs a restaurant and is a stingy person.

It would be fine if Lu Wan spoke well, but he was immediately annoyed when he spoke ill of him.

He slapped the table and pointed at Lu Wan and cursed: "Lu Wan, you are a damn man in front of me! Don't say that person is my brother, even if I find a man, what if? Could it be that you still want Liu Ji to marry me? Do he dare to marry me? Can he marry me? If he marry me, what should he use to support me? Wild man? Let me tell you, Liu Ji is also my Wild man."

This quarrel immediately attracted the attention of the people in the restaurant.

Lu Wan's face was red and her ears were red, and she was about to stand up.

The little girl in Wu Ji's arms was crying, and Liu Bang grabbed Lu Wan.

Wu Ji said: "What everyone agreed at the beginning is that if you can get together, if you can't get together, if you can't get together,... I am an orphan and widowed mother, and I wanted to find a way out, but who knows... That's right, you have taken care of me a lot along the way, but I didn't treat you badly.

After giving up this body to serve you, when did I let you suffer?”

As he said that, Wu Ji's eyes turned red...

Liu Bang waved his hand, "Sit down first!"

He sighed and suddenly smiled, "When Liu's son first arrived in Pei County, he said a very interesting thing: My father died and my mother got married, and I took care of myself. Wu Ji, you have taken good care of us this year. Why don't Lu Wan go over to apologize?"

Lu Wan is also a tough guy, but she just takes Liu Bang's trick.

"Wu Ji, I'm just so kind. Don't blame me... I was so anxious just now."

Liu Bang said: "Chen He, calculate how much money we have made in the past year, give her what Wu Ji deserves... Wu Ji, we have been with you for many years, and Liu Ji is very grateful. Now that you are leaving, I feel really uncomfortable.

I can only say that I wish you a good life in the future!

If you are bullied or can’t survive there, just come to me. With me, Liu Bang, you will definitely help you stand out."

After saying that, he snatched the wallet from Chen He and handed it to Wu Ji without counting it.

Wu Ji's eyes turned red, and her heart felt infinite sadness, "Liu Ji, you can't use so much, you have to live."

"Can we four men starve to death?"

Liu Bang laughed loudly, stood up and stuffed his purse into Wu Ji's arms, then twisted the girl's face, "Take care!"

Wu Ji bit her lip and whispered after a while: "My brother is Wu Chen, and he is also a person with good looks in Chen County. Liu Ji, if one day, you think your woman... or life is not satisfactory, go to Chen County to find me, I will wait for you in the end."

In just one sentence, Liu Bang's eyes were also rosy.
