In the dead of night, the lights were lit in the large tent guarded by guards.
Liu Cheng sat in front of the desk and quietly read the letter in front of him.
After watching this for a while, a smile appeared on Liu Cheng's face.
After he finished reading the entire letter, Liu Cheng couldn't help but reach out and move his useless item.
So that you can become more comfortable.
Cai Yan, this little lady, is getting better and better at seducing people.
However, it is extremely rare to see such words in her letters.
This can be regarded as a very considerable progress.
It seems that his gentle and silent training is very effective. He has successfully taught Cai Yan, a famous talented woman in history, and a talented woman who has never left the court, to dare to flirt with him in her letters.
He cursed and said naughty things.
Thinking of Cai Yan's fame in history, and recalling Cai Yan's shy appearance before, and comparing it with now, Liu Chengxin felt an itchy sense of accomplishment.
This sense of accomplishment is no less than winning a battle or fighting a fierce battle with a famous general in history!
Thinking of this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but reach out and touch his face. Could it be that after he killed Cao Cao in the beginning, he also inherited some of Cao Cao's habits?
Now I am at peace with that thief Cao!
but……
This feeling is indeed wonderful!
Cai Yan's letter aroused some thoughts. For a moment, the upright Uncle Liu Huang of the Han Dynasty actually wanted to leave Sishui Pass and come to Luoyang to find the man he had become.
Cai Yan, a literary young woman, urged her to fulfill the promise in her letter quickly...
Of course, he just thought about it this way, and it was impossible to actually implement it.
He's not the kind of person who doesn't know what his priorities are.
After standing here and waiting for a while to calm down, Liu Cheng took out the letter sent by Liu Shui and started to read it.
From the order of reading the letter, it can be seen that in Liu Shui's heart, his brother, who has always been tall and majestic, is actually the essence of an LSP.
After reading Liu Shui's letter, the things that aroused in Liu Cheng's heart because of reading Cai Yan's letter were finally suppressed successfully.
Liu Shui's letter was as usual. He first reported to Liu Cheng the operating conditions of Taobao Restaurant these days, and then talked about his recent studies, followed by some information that Liu Cheng had taught him.
He didn't understand the math.
In the past, when the letter got here, it basically ended.
But this time there is something different. After saying this, there is still a lot of content behind the letter.
These contents are mainly Liu Shui's discussions about his brother asking him to take out most of the money he earned in the restaurant these days to form a caravan and come to Sishui Pass to do business with the soldiers.
.
Liu Shui was very concerned about what his brother had told him.
After receiving the news from Liu Cheng, he immediately called Lu Yang, the person he could trust most in Luoyang City today, to form a caravan together.
After the caravan is organized, let these caravans set off towards Sishui Pass.
The letters that Liu Cheng is reading now, as well as the letters from Cai Yan that he just read, were brought by the caravan that Liu Shui organized with the help of Lu Yang in accordance with Liu Cheng's request.
The steward of the caravan is a veteran Liu Cheng had screened out from his direct lineage. There is no problem with loyalty, and his ability to do things is acceptable...
Although Liu Shui followed Liu Cheng's instructions and completed all the things he told him without fail, he still raised some issues about the caravan in the letter he wrote to Liu Cheng, which made him feel uncomfortable.
solution problem.
Among them, Liu Shui did not write about the most important issue, maybe because he was too embarrassed to write about it.
However, Liu Cheng still read it out from between the lines of Liu Shui's words.
The problem is that after finally saving so much money, Liu Shui felt very distressed when he spent it all at once.
This is a very common problem, especially for a child like Liu Shui who has lived a hard life before and is now far from an adult. It is not surprising.
Liu Cheng understands this very well.
But understanding is understanding, and he had no intention of leaving it alone.
After all, Liu Shui will continue to do business in the future.
There are more and more things that I need to come into contact with, and the money I have to face is also getting bigger and bigger.
There are some things that I, as the elder brother, have to answer questions and provide guidance.
This will help Liu Shui form a correct concept of money and other values.
After all, this is the person he is closest to in terms of blood relationship in this body, and he is a being who can give great trust.
In the days to come, Liu Cheng wants to give him important responsibilities, and it will be impossible without good guidance and training.
Liu Cheng found some paper and pen, sat in front of his desk, and after thinking deeply, he started to write.
First of all, I affirmed the operation of Taobao Restaurant these days and gave some suggestions.
Then he expressed his appreciation for Liu Shui's ability to complete the formation of the caravan and send the caravan here as per his request so quickly.
After writing all of this, he began to answer the questions raised by Liu Shui in the letter one by one.
After answering all these, Liu Cheng started to focus on explaining to Liu Shui what money is, why money can appear, and the role of money.
Liu Cheng had learned these things back then and memorized them. He could even recall the original sentences from some textbooks intact.
Money, or the essence of money is a general equivalent, which is something that everyone can accept and use to measure the value of other commodities...
After explaining the nature of currency, Liu Cheng began to explain to Liu Shui how money promotes the circulation of commodities and creates value.
In order to help Liu Shui understand it more clearly, Liu Cheng also gave specific examples.
For example, a man earned a hundred dollars by going up the mountain to cut firewood and sell it.
Then he used the one hundred money to buy coarse grains.
The grain seller took the hundred money and bought some cloth from others, and went home to make clothes for the dolls at home.
The cloth seller took the hundred dollars and went to buy the eggs that his family urgently needed.
Because the mother-in-law who gave birth to seven daughters in his family finally gave birth to a big fat boy this time.
The egg seller used this hundred dollars again...
The same one hundred dollars, after being circulated many times, left many people with what they needed.
It has exerted its due value.
After telling this example, Liu Cheng explained to Liu Shui that money should not be saved, but should be spent once you have money.
Money left there is just a pile of dead things. Only when you spend it and use it where it should be used can you create greater value.
Only by letting money move can the true role of money be fully reflected...
Liu Cheng wrote this letter very seriously.
After sitting here writing for a while, I will stop writing, think about it in my heart for a while, and then start writing again after sorting out my thoughts.
It was only after the night had become very deep that Liu Chengcai finally finished writing this letter.
After the ink is dry, pack it up and seal it.
The paper technology of this era is already very advanced, especially several famous papers, which can be used for writing without any problem.
Of course, at this time, there were still a large number of bamboo and wooden slips, and many scholars and great Confucianists were still used to writing and recording on bamboo and wooden slips.
Liu Cheng, who came from a later generation, would certainly not have such a habit. As long as he could find suitable paper, he would never touch things like bamboo slips.
I’m really not used to it!
After replying to Liu Shui's letter, Liu Cheng did not sleep, but once again opened the letter written by Cai Yan and read it carefully again.
Then he picked up his pen and wrote a reply to Cai Yan.
After I finished writing Cai Yan's letter, the night became darker.
Liu Cheng was lying on the bed, but he was not asleep.
He was thinking about what happened between himself and Cai Yan.
After the matter here at Sishui Pass is over and I return to Luoyang, I should properly handle this matter.
We can no longer hide this relationship...
The next day, Liu Cheng went to see the caravan organized by Lu Yang and Liu Shui in person.
Of course, these people were not allowed to enter the military camp area.
It's more than three miles outside the military camp.
Liu Cheng went over to meet them and broke some taboos with them.
Among them, the first thing he mentioned was that no one was allowed to pry into the military camp.
Then I have to tell these people that when making transactions, they must be fair and just.
Because the soldiers got these things with their lives!
Then a warning was given.
He said that once he knew who was cheating or cheating in the next transaction, he would never tolerate it!
The iron halberd he holds in his hand will definitely fall!
Let’s see if it’s the iron halberd in his hand that’s harder, or the human head!
After some serious warnings, Liu Cheng began to make fun of these people again.
He said that Uncle Liu Huang was not a very harsh person. As long as these people do their jobs well, they will all have a bright future.
At this time, Liu Cheng was no longer the nameless young man who set off from Chenggao to Luoyang carrying a butcher's knife, riding on a donkey, and taking two rookies, Liu Shui and Lu Yang.
At this time, he was promoted to the Zhonglang General of Zhendong, commanding thousands of troops and horses. He was honored as Uncle Liu Huang, and his bravery was astonishing.
In a short period of time, it has already gained a huge reputation!
At this time, he expressed such an attitude, and after a series of tactics of pulling and beating, the effect was not generally good.
Some people's calves could not help but twitch when faced with Liu Cheng who turned on his momentum and spoke warning words.
After all, Liu Chengshi's reputation as a tiger general is not something he says, but something he actually demonstrates!
After coming here first and beating up these people, Liu Chengcai began to return to the military camp to gather the soldiers and inform them of this matter.
Of course, before this, Liu Cheng had already greeted his subordinates Hua Xiong and Li Su, as well as Li Jin, Liao Hua and others who had become captains.
Explain to them in detail the purpose of doing this and the specific operation method.
However, his detailed explanation only involved the scope and rules of the caravan's business with the soldiers, as well as assumptions about possible bad situations and how to deal with them.
Of course, there are also the benefits of doing this to the soldiers, as well as some things that you and others can get from it.
The things he envisioned, such as banks, were planned to be implemented after the conditions became more mature. At this time, he would never mention it to Hua Xiong and the others.
At the beginning, some people were worried that such an operation would cause some bad things.
What is most worrying is that the caravan will drink the blood of the soldiers during this process, which will lead to mutiny in the army and a serious reduction in combat effectiveness.
But after Liu Cheng's frank and detailed explanation and discussion, the worries in these people's hearts disappeared.
And I believe that with the implementation of these things, it will definitely bring convenience to the soldiers.
Not only does it have no impact on military morale, on the contrary, it can also enhance the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to a certain extent.
Of course, for such a situation to occur, in addition to the fact that the plan given by Liu Cheng was very detailed and took all aspects into consideration, there is also a more important reason why Liu Cheng spent so much time in Si.
Shuiguan's performance here has completely won the trust of these people.
From the beginning to the present, everything done according to the emperor's uncle's instructions and ideas has never made any mistakes.
Moreover, the emperor's uncle is extremely fair and considerate of others...
After Liu Cheng gathered his soldiers together, he told them that there was a caravan coming outside. If they had anything that was inconvenient to carry or could not be stored, they could go to the caravan to sell it.
At the same time, in order to let the soldiers put down their guard and sell with confidence and boldness, Liu Cheng did not conceal the identity of the caravan and made it clear that it was established by his younger brother.
At the same time, he also explained his previous requirements for this caravan, as well as various measures to deal with possible scams and abductions, as well as the benefits of doing so.
Finally, Liu Cheng made another condition that made many people feel excited.
That is this caravan, which can transport letters home for free for these soldiers.
You can also deliver letters from home to the soldiers.
In today's era, communication is extremely underdeveloped. Once they are separated, it is extremely difficult to send a message, even a verbal message, to each other, especially those from small families.
One can imagine how tempting the condition Liu Cheng proposed at this time was.
The war rages on for three months, and letters from home are worth tens of thousands of gold. It’s really not for nothing...
