It was already the eve of their separation, and the two brothers were squatting in the governor's mansion, eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and bragging.
Cheng Chubi took a sip of banished immortal drunkenly. The taste of this stuff was so much more delicious than the essence of the wine.
When my biological father wrote a letter before, when my second brother got married, I brought home twenty jars of Shunzhou fine wine, which immersed the entire Cheng family in the rich aroma of wine.
All the guests who came to celebrate were full of praise and asked about the origin of this wine.
The small amount of sample wine in the Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses in Chang'an was also swept away the next day.
Regarding this, his biological father Cheng Yaojin was still full of complaints about himself in the letter, thinking that his third son said that this kind of wine must be stored in cellars.
He is clearly trying to seduce the greedy people in everyone's belly. He should be severely criticized. In addition, he should send another ten or twenty jars to his home as soon as possible.
Especially those various health-preserving wines. As I get older, I need to take more care of them.
Of course, Cheng Chubi did not dare to resist his father's order. Before leaving Luzhou, he honestly prepared a batch of goods for his father.
Li Ke, the second in command of the trio of demon moths who need to guard Luzhou, seems particularly lonely.
Every time she sighed, she had the air of a lonely, cold, resentful woman.
"Brother Chu Bi, you must be careful when you go. I hope you can win and return safely, little brother."
While he was carefully savoring the aroma of wine in his mouth and nose, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard these words.
"Okay, okay, how big of a deal is it? Lao Cheng, you still don't know what I'm capable of?"
"Brother Chu Bi, what are you best at? I don't know, little brother?" Li Ke just laughed.
Brother, your ability to stir up demons and moths is truly unparalleled in the world. No one can compare with you.

Cheng Chubi turned his head and looked suspiciously at Li Ke, who had a very serious expression. He always felt that this boy was mocking him.
"Brother Chu Bi, let's talk about business, serious matters." Li Ke quickly raised his cup and saluted Cheng Chubi, took a sip of wine and changed the subject.
"This time, Brother Chu Bi, you are going to summon soldiers from various states to go south. I think Brother Chu Bi will definitely be able to defeat the Six Imperial Edicts of Erhai."
"But, Brother Chu Bi, have you ever thought about it? After you leave, I'm worried that those guys won't be able to see you anymore. Brother, please suppress them."
"What if it goes back to the old way?"
"I said, dear brother, look at you, your vision is too narrow, isn't it?
Do you think that after I, Mr. Cheng, arrived in Yaozhou, it was really just to fight?"
"You underestimate me too much, and you underestimate Yaozhou, a treasure land."
"You know why I have delayed it for so many days. During this period, your boy has been flirting with the Nagalan girl all day long.
You don’t even know how many great things I have done. These days, as a brother, I have gathered a group of elite soldiers and generals from the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"And I also sent a letter to Jiaozhou, asking them to send some experts in growing sugar cane and pepper. Haha..."
"In addition, the wild tea trees there produce raw tea and black tea, and the taste is definitely like this. There are also Panax notoginseng, a specialty of that area, and various fungi..."
Li Ke stared blankly at the man talking about the various special products of Yaozhou, and it took him a long time to grasp the key points.
"Brother Chu Bi, do you mean that it is also suitable for growing pepper and sugar cane?"
"That's nature. Yaozhou is suitable for growing various spices. What are spices? Spices are wealth."
"Let me tell you this, it is an undeveloped virgin land, and we can adopt a similar approach to Luzhou."
"Have a good chat with the people in Yaozhou, give them sweethearts, and let them understand.
If you hang out with those poor Tubo gangsters, you might as well hang out with us."
Li Ke looked at Brother Chu Bi who was flying with spittle and beaming with joy. He wiped the little boy's face that was sprayed on his face and quickly moved his butt back.
"Brother Chu Bi, please wait for a moment. According to what you said, don't you have to stay in Yaozhou for a while?"
"Oh... what should we do?" Cheng Chubi shook his head helplessly.
"But fortunately, our cement official road has now been built to the southern part of Rongzhou, which is only more than 300 miles away from Yaozhou."
"As long as we continue on the Cement Official Road, if something happens to Yaozhou in the future, it will only take ten days to get there from Luzhou."
"If we leave it to the past, haha... if the army wants to rush from Shuzhong to Yaozhou, it will take a month."
"As expected of Brother Chu Bi, no wonder you insisted on building this concrete official road regardless of the investment in the early stage. It turns out that the root lies here."
Cheng Chubi nodded towards Li Ke and synthesized his years of poverty alleviation work and his experience in dealing with various tribal leaders in this era.
I got what I thought was the most correct understanding. Building the road is not just about building the physical road, but also the road to building the human heart.
"Building roads can not only facilitate logistics, but most importantly, we can unite people's hearts.
This is why when Cheng asked Han and Tang merchants to build roads, he recruited a large number of local people."
"As long as they are willing to work for the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants, they will understand over time."
Having said this, Cheng Chubi paused, took a sip of wine, and showed a sinister smile, which made Li Ke feel uncomfortable.
"Brother Chu Bi, we have something to talk about. Can you stop smiling like this and making me feel uncomfortable?"
Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes at this profligate prince who didn't know how to create an atmosphere, and then continued.
"Those tribal leaders who always treat them with alms and even want to skin them are the bad guys."
"The Han and Tang dynasties that hired them to work and gave them money so that they could support their families were the bosses who treated them best in the world."
Listening to these words, Li Ke couldn't help but feel convinced and nodded repeatedly.
He has seen the changes that have taken place in Luzhou over the past few years and has kept them in his heart.
From time to time, he had to secretly show off to his father what he knew and understood about politics.
Brother Chu Bi looks like he has a hammer in one place and a stick in the other. One moment he is going to this Jizhou to make tea, and the next he is going to that Jizhou to engage in breeding.
It seems confusing, but now it seems that every Jizhou has its own brand and specialty products.
The competition between them is not very fierce, avoiding a situation that Brother Chu Bi said: involution.
Moreover, as the number of people working for major commercial firms increases, the power of those fierce leaders is declining day by day.
Although this caused them to lose many privileges and make them feel dissatisfied, fortunately, the Han and Tang Dynasty Commercial Bank, which was just and generous, generously gave them a certain amount of shares.
