Jushou and Li You talked very happily. In fact, both sides had their own motives. Jushou wanted to break up Taishan, a powerful prince that could threaten Yuan Shao, and take the opportunity to make a big profit, while Li You wanted to ruthlessly Calculate Yuan Benchu to gain another period of development and growth for Qingzhou.
After sending Jushu out, Li You came back and the living room was already full of people, including everyone from Chen Xi to Wang Xiu.
"Wen Ru, you are so mean, do you need to give me an explanation?" Chen Xi said with an unhappy face when Li You just walked in.
"Only you can attract enough firepower. If you don't win, who will?" Li You said casually, "This matter is done. Xuande Gong's performance was just right, showing the perseverance of a hero to cut through thorns. It shows the dilemma of a monarch who comes from a lower class and wants to enjoy wealth but is afraid of the dissatisfaction of his subordinates."
"You are just trying to deceive others." Liu Ye laughed and said, "But it has been done. I have to believe it. When Zichuan built this house, he probably thought about using it to plot against the other party. After all, this is The house is really too luxurious, but let me ask you a question, Zichuan? How much does this thing cost?" Liu Ye pointed to the cashmere blanket on the ground and asked.
"As for the price you asked about, only real things can deceive people the most. Nine truths and one falsehood can be exposed by others. Only purely real things will not have the possibility of being exposed. "Chen Xi said casually, knowing that someone would ask how much this blanket costs.
"..." Liu Ye, Lu Su, Sun Qian and others all looked as if they were heartbroken. It took hundreds of thousands of sheepskins to create such a thing. You don't know that five black sheepskins can be exchanged for one Bailixi. ?
"Okay, okay, Zichuan is joking with you. You don't have to kill hundreds of thousands of sheep. This is just the wool of hundreds of thousands of sheep. It is just the finest fluff in the wool. Except for the small quantity, there is nothing else. It's of no value." Li Ru explained with a smile when he saw Liu Ye and others looking shocked.
"It's made from the fine wool of hundreds of thousands of sheep. If it doesn't need to be so fine and soft, the wool from a few hundred sheep is enough, and it can grow again next year." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It's not worth it at all. of."
"The result of asking can scare you to death." Fazheng snickered infatuatedly, "I was also shocked at that time. Real cashmere can only be owned by hundreds of thousands of sheep..."
Everyone burst out laughing after hearing this. With such an example, they would feel confident pretending to be luxurious.
"It's time to sacrifice the heroic spirits tomorrow. Are you all ready? I think there will be a lot of people peeking this time. Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu are still allies after all, and it is inevitable that they will communicate with each other, so don't do it then. Cao Mengde showed his flaws." Chen Xi said solemnly.
"Having the blood and talent of a man who built his career from scratch, he also has the love of luxury and attention to other people's senses. These two different temperaments are intertwined in Mr. Xuande. This is what we have deceived Mr. Ju and the biggest The reason." Li You sighed and said, "The truth is always easier to deceive others than fabricated things."
"Kong Beihai probably won't be able to come. Let's discuss how to resettle Kong Beihai after we completely annex Qingzhou in the spring." Lu Su was obviously a workaholic. After relaxing for a while, he brought the matter back to government affairs.
"Great Confucian, how about asking him to write a book about the Analects? Don't we have many annotated versions of the Analects? Let Kong Beihai study it carefully and learn from the strengths of other schools to make a real Confucian Analects." Liu Ye proposed. He came up with a very realistic plan. After all, after the complete annexation of Qingzhou, every place can no longer use a guy like Kong Rong who relies purely on fame and has little ability to govern counties. It is absolutely not possible to have a dead meal or something!
"How to solve the problem in Xuzhou? There has been a rift between us and Tao Gongzu because of the Yuan Highway incident." Lu Su said helplessly.
By the way, although Liu Bei never really said that he wanted to join the Magic Alliance, Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, who helped Liu Bei the most, were both members of the Magic Alliance. As a result, Liu Bei has overthrown Yuan Shu, the leader of the Magic Alliance. This makes Tao Qian obviously helpless. Adaptable.
"The strong will always be strong. Don't worry about Tao Gongzu. The Xuzhou family under him is too active. After hard work, his body is not as good as before, and his energy is far less than before. If everything goes smoothly, there may still be a lot of time. Once a big disaster occurs, With all the twists and turns, Tao Gongzu’s days are numbered.” Jia Xu said calmly, “Tao Gongzu’s choice is only between us and Cao Cao, but no matter which one, he needs to compromise with the Xuzhou family, his son is too useless.”
"Heirs are really a big problem..." Li You sighed, and then everyone except Chen Xi sighed in unison.
"I wonder when my lord will have a son." Lu Su sighed and said, then looked at Fazheng and said, "It would be great if he could be as smart as Fa Zheng."
Then everyone except Chen Xi, including the newcomers Chen Chi and Wang Xiu, looked at Fazheng and sighed, while Fazheng looked proud.
"Why are you sighing? There are not many smart people in this world. Most of them are average. For example, people like me can be cultivated in large numbers." Chen Xi looked at everyone with disdain, and then made his own speech. .
Suddenly everyone was speechless and looked at the sky. After a long silence, a voice came over, "Zichuan said that he is a middle-aged man and can be trained in large numbers. Then when I have a son, I will leave it to Zichuan to train him." It doesn’t have to be too high, Zichuan’s current level is enough.”
Suddenly, everyone present looked at Chen Xi with expressions of gloating, asking you to brag, you are stupid now, you are still trying to win the prize, I will believe you if you cultivate another person of your own level.
"Congratulations Zichuan, congratulations Zichuan." Everyone congratulated with a joking expression. Being the teacher of Liu Bei's son is indeed a good thing, but to educate Liu Bei's son to become a monster like Chen Xi is just a joke. Chen Zichuan's ability As we all know, if you are not born with a good child, you will never be able to reach that level in your life.
"Can I take back what I said?" Chen Xi murmured to himself. Although he can indeed be mass-produced, as long as he has this kind of almost photographic memory, the guys he produces can be more evil than him. The problem is this The times didn't have that kind of conditions at all.
"A gentleman's words!" Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Hurry up and whip your horse!" all the people replied together.
"Zichuan, don't break your promise!" Liu Bei laughed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xuande, we will all supervise Zichuan." Lu Su said with a smile.
Besides, Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou did have a thorn in his heart towards Liu Bei ever since Liu Bei's army left Yuzhou and severely wounded Yuan Shu. However, he is old and frail and doesn't have much energy to take care of these things. He just wants to find a solution for his son.
As a backer, don't be fooled to death by the Xuzhou aristocratic families. After living in Xuzhou for so many years, he has already understood what these Xuzhou aristocratic families are like.
In Tancheng, Tao Qian looked at the information in his hand. Compared to the Shu League, which had declined due to civil strife and mistakes, Tao Qian felt that the flourishing Shao League had more prospects. Naturally, Cao Cao, who was not very satisfied before, was now in his sights.
, after all, he is old, and now he is just looking for a backer for his son. As long as the other person is good and strong enough, that's all.
It was precisely because of this that Tao Qian planned to marry Cao Song, and by the way, he released a message to Cao Song that he wanted to use Xuzhou, a major grain producer in the Central Plains, in exchange for a worry-free life for his two sons. Liu Bei made him a little worried.
Years of experience as an official taught him that sometimes things stolen are more valuable than things given by others.
It is a well-known fact that Xuzhou is rich, and Tao Qian intends to use this as a bait to lure Cao Cao and Liu Bei. No matter who wins or loses in the fight between the two, he will give the territory to whoever satisfies him. As for Yuzhou
The Yuan family originally thought they were the backers, but they didn't expect that anyone could step on them.
