After entering the meeting hall, the host and guest took their seats, and the maid served tea.
“Great tea!”
Liu Bei couldn't help but admire it. The leaves in the cup were green and green, with roots upright and suspended in the water. The aroma of tea instantly refreshed his heart and mind.
Although I haven’t drank it yet, the appearance and aroma clearly show that it is not an ordinary product.
But it looks a little weird. Usually we make tea, but this is brewed.
"This tea is made from the buds of a thousand-year-old tea tree in Wuling Mountain, and its name is Bamboo Leaf Green..."
Liu Qi, who traveled to the late Han Dynasty, was naturally not used to the tea here. Fortunately, he knew the method of tea frying in later generations, and he did not expect to tinker with it.
It's just that Dian Wei, Yan Liang and others like to drink wine, not tea.
Even Xu Shu and military advisor Guo Jia were like this, which made Liu Qi feel lonely for a while.
When Liu Qi heard the compliment just now, he felt like he had found a soulmate.
"Uncle Liu Huang, please."
After hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei picked up the cup and tasted it. It was fragrant in his mouth and he was full of praise.
Seeing that the tea was served again, Liu Bei wanted to speak but couldn't get a word in.
It was nothing more than Liu Qi talking about the benefits of tea, including clearing the lungs, improving eyesight, resolving phlegm and relieving coughs...
I have something to do here, not to mention receiving benefits from others.
"This tea ceremony..."
"Brother Boyu, wait a minute..."
Seeing that it was time to have lunch when he could no longer talk, Liu Bei, who drank a lot of tea, couldn't bear it anymore.
"Uh, Uncle Liu, please speak."
Liu Qi, who was in high spirits, had no choice but to stop talking about tea, with a look of resentment on his face, but was ignored by Liu Bei.
"Bei came here because he wanted to be a peacemaker. My brother Liu Cong mistakenly believed the villain's slander. Now he regrets it. He wanted to apologize to Marquis Renyong in person but was embarrassed, so I asked Bei to come..."
"As the saying goes, you can't write two characters Liu in one stroke. No matter what, the eldest son is also Liu Cong's biological brother. It's enough to teach him a little lesson, but he can't be killed..."
This time it was Liu Qi's turn to be shocked. This big-eared thief Liu Bei was so eloquent. Fancheng was attacked by an army of 80,000 people for no reason and it was said to be a misunderstanding. Then it involved family ties, and finally it rose to the level of peace for the family and the world.
It seemed that if he did not withdraw his troops, he would be sorry for the people of the world and the Han Dynasty.
It seems that his younger brother Liu Cong has also invested a lot of money this time, otherwise Liu Bei would not have done such a good job.
"Uncle Liu Huang is right."
Seeing that Liu Bei was going on and on, Liu Qi couldn't help but interrupt him.
If this guy comes to join Fancheng, he will definitely be given the position of instructor, specializing in the ideological work of soldiers.
"Okay, Brother Boyu, are you preparing to withdraw your troops?"
This was what Liu Bei was waiting for, and he asked with smiling eyes.
This trip to Fancheng was finally worthwhile. After all, the head of Jizhou Mufu gave all the new fields to him, and he will not pursue any previous matters.
"Congratulations to Uncle Liu Huang on your new home."
"ah!"
Liu Bei was also stunned by the words that Liu Qi suddenly said.
I was thinking about this just now, but it was top secret. Only a few people knew about it, and it was even less likely that Kuai Liang would expose his family scandal.
Originally, Liu Qi was mysterious enough in his heart, but doing this made Liu Bei's back wet.
"Haha, Brother Boyu is joking..."
Liu Bei picked up the teacup and drank a few sips quickly, hiding the panic on his face.
Seeing Liu Bei's nervous look, Liu Qi secretly smiled and had already sent scouts to Xinye County.
Kuai Liang even sent the news back as soon as he entered Liu Bei's house.
With the analysis of Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Deng Yi and many other counselors, they had already guessed it.
But in my heart I also sighed for this helpless younger brother.
I would rather give up such a good location in Xinye than come here to apologize. The great foundation created by my father has been ruined.
Xinye still returned to Liu Bei, and the historical trend of the Three Kingdoms in later generations was also the same. But I didn't expect that I would actually help Liu Bei, the big-eared thief. Things are really unpredictable.
"Uncle Liu Huang, go slowly and come back often..."
Liu Bei was speechless after hearing these enthusiastic words and wanted to run away.
Liu Qi naturally entertained me warmly at noon, and even served Fancheng's finest wine.
Zhang Fei and Dian Wei drank with great pleasure, and Liu Bei was actually greedy for a long time.
The pure fragrant spring I brought back last time was long gone. When I asked for some more this time, I was shocked by Liu Qi's words.
"Fancheng is not rich either. This pure fragrant spring is brewed with dozens of precious medicinal materials..."
"We are all old acquaintances. I will give you a 20% discount on a jar of wine, which will cost you eighty taels of silver."
Liu Bei at the wine table almost jumped up when he heard this. A jar of wine weighed ten kilograms, and his third brother Zhang Fei could handle it by himself.
What we are drinking here is nothing but free money.
"Brother, we still have some silver anyway, so why not buy a few hundred jars first..."
Zhang Fei, who was getting drunk, started shouting loudly, and his eldest brother Liu Bei's face turned blue.
Wealth doesn’t reveal wealth, so I don’t know!
The third brother’s character is so straightforward!
"Then order two hundred jars of pure fragrant springs."
Liu Bei said helplessly, he also liked this wine, but fortunately he was rich now.
"By the way, Uncle Liu, does he know why our army has so few casualties?"
As soon as Liu Qi said these words, Liu Bei became excited instantly. You must know that a soldier may lose his life if he is punctured by a weapon.
We have long known that the casualties of the Tiger Blade Army are almost negligible, and we also know that Fancheng has a magical medical team, but there are definitely other secret methods.
"Please also ask Brother Boyu to tell me."
The number of soldiers in Xinye County has now grown to more than 10,000, and it can be said that all of them are treasures in Liu Bei's eyes.
Liu Qi ordered the guards to bring the alcohol and talked about the magical effects of this thing. Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This alcohol is definitely a treasure, a priceless treasure.
Must get it.
"I wonder how much this alcohol costs?"
After hearing Renyong Hou Liu Qi describe alcohol in detail, Liu Bei also knew that it would be impossible to think about it.
"Easy to say, easy to say, two hundred taels of silver per jar, and we are all relatives, so we can get a 20% discount..."
"Bring me five hundred altars."
Liu Bei said without blinking this time that alcohol will be of great use in the future.
If I hadn't run out of money in my Xinye treasury, I would have made a thousand jars anyway.
At this time, Xu Shu, Guo Jia and others were dumbfounded. The alcohol and pure Xiangquan wine brewed only cost less than ten taels of silver per jar. This backhand increased the price tenfold.
The Lord is a genius in business, and he made more than one hundred thousand taels of silver in one transaction.
If Uncle Liu Huang knew the cost of alcohol in the future, he would definitely be willing to fight against his lord.
Of course, in the end, Liu Qi promoted his bamboo leaf green, which can prolong life.
"Uncle Liu Huang, what's better than having a good body, don't you think?"
As a result, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and bought another thousand taels of tea.
