Chapter 69 Mindfulness (3,000 words)
Liu Jing sent Liu Zong out of the residence all the way, and saw dozens of short robes and bare knives gathered in front of the diner, carrying swords and swords, passing the wine to each other, laughing and laughing.
All of them have the aura of heroism, look at themselves and look down on everything. Only heroes like Liu Zong can convince them.
Liu Jing followed Liu Zong to everyone and bowed and said, "To help me, you have traveled for more than ten miles to help you, regardless of the distance. You will remember this kind of kindness in your heart."
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed a flattering expression. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhongda from Changsha would thank them. He was so helpless that he forgot to return the gift for a while.
Seeing this, Liu Zong couldn't help but think. It was said that Liu Jing was born in the crown clan and wrote a famous work in Changsha, but he did not have the arrogance and arrogance. He interacted with others and was not discriminated between good and low. He also thought about his work "The Legend of the Knights", and said that Xinling Jun, Hou Ying, Zhu Hai, and Liu Zong no longer knew that Liu Jing was a fool with "great ambitions".
Liu Zong suddenly felt curious. He really wanted to see how talented and ambitious Liu Jing could achieve.
Liu Zong said, "If you can get your gift from Zhongda, don't say that you have only traveled for more than ten miles, even if you travel a hundred miles or a thousand miles, I think they will be happy."
Liu Jing smiled and said, "Brother is so serious."
Liu Zong pointed to the two people in front of his finger and said to Liu Jing: "Zhongda, I will introduce you to you. He is Chen Jin, whose courtesy name is Bodeng, and he is Huang Wu and Shuye. Both of them are important and righteous people, and I regard them as their right-hand man."
Chen Jin was about twenty years old, seven feet or eight inches tall, and was tall and strong, with a flat ribs and a curly beard, looking very majestic.
Huang Wu was also over 20 years old, only six feet and seven inches tall, shorter than ordinary people, but his waist was very wide, especially those of ordinary people.
"I've met Mr. Liu..." Chen Jin and Huang Wu bowed and bowed. In fact, it was not the first time the two sides met, but they had never had any communication before.
Liu Jing nodded and smiled, "I have heard of your reputation in the city."
Chen Jin, Huang Wu felt very satisfied and smiled unconsciously: "Jun Liu also knows that we are waiting?"
Liu Jing smiled and said, "You are also famous heroes, how can I not know?"
Seeing that the time was almost done, Liu Zong said, "Zhongda, you can send it here."
With the close relationship between the two, there is no need to be too polite. Liu Jing nodded and said, "Then I will send it to you soon. I will wait for me to rest for two days and return home, and then go to visit me from my brother's mansion."
Liu Zong looked surprised. Liu Jing said so seriously, afraid that he would discuss something with him. He replied: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home by then."
Then he said to Zhou Wei who was waiting by the side: "You did a good job today, so it's not in vain that Zhongda pleads for you in front of me. You should share more of the trivial matters at the banquet for Zhongda."
Zhou Wei responded to the promise in fear and fear.
Liu Zong finally patted Liu Jing on the shoulder and led the crowd to leave.
After seeing off Liu Zong, Liu Jing simply refused to return to the banquet. After all, he was still working at this time, and it was not good to drink with others in the end.
Even from Huang Qiu to the minor officials, he would not have any objection to this, and he could not do so, otherwise what would be different from Huang Qiu? As a leader, he must set an example.
Ma Zhou didn't have to go back with him. Today, he caused his old injury to relapse due to business affairs, and Liu Jing claimed the ten-day leave to Huang Qiu.
When Liu Jing left, everyone put down their wine glasses and went out to see each other off. The scene was very chaotic. At this time, everyone had already drunk a lot of wine, and there were many drunk people or some inappropriate aspects. Liu Jing was not angry, and they all comforted each other, and everyone present was amazed.
Saying goodbye to everyone, Liu Jing returned to the market building alone, sat in the room, and thought secretly. Today, the banquet was definitely not a small amount. There were only a few thousand yuan left in his house, and I am afraid that nothing would be left after paying the wine.
Now that the city is in control of the power, it is time to consider making money next.
When Liu Jing thought of making money, his first reaction in his mind was salt, sugar, tea, and wine.
Especially salt is definitely the most profitable industry in ancient times, no doubt. From ancient times to the present, salt merchants have always been one of the top-level people in the merchant pyramid.
Unfortunately, Changsha is not by the sea. Even if the water in the west produces salt, it is a drop in the bucket and has been monopolized by the wealthy families and has no room for intervention.
What surprised Liu Jing was that in the Han Dynasty, there was only malt sugar, but he did not know about sugar sugar. Nowadays, people mainly eat sugar cane and drink it. Sugar cane is also a huge profit, but it has the same problem as salt. Sugar cane only grows in Jiaozhou.
The time spent on the road, collecting sugar cane, recruiting people to make sugar, and every step is not easy until the finished product is produced. It will take a year or two at the fastest time, or even longer. Production is also a big problem. Maybe when Liu Biao raises his troops south, he may not be able to make much money.
As for tea, there are people growing it in Changsha, just for the purpose of quenching wine. They put some messy things like onions, ginger and other garbled things in the tea, and cook them into soup. They can't bear to look at them.
Since tea itself is still relatively vague and has not yet formed a tea drinking atmosphere, it takes an extremely long time to cultivate the market. It is a fantasy to make a lot of money from tea.
If you have wine, one hu of coarse rice can produce more than three hu of wine. The low degree can be imagined. Not to mention modern times, it is more than three times the difference between it and the Song Dynasty. For him, it is not difficult to create wine with higher purity.
Making money by high-purity wine is making money, but this is a long-lasting business, and it is difficult to make him rich overnight. What he needs is to intake a huge amount of funds within two or three years.
It is almost difficult to achieve the goal with a normal method. At least Liu Jing can't think of it. He can only think of a way that is not a solution, making a play.
In fact, this is also considered a legal business. In the Han Dynasty, only officials were banned, not the people.
However, even if it is not illegal, Liu Jing will not do it. He only intends to provide ideas.
He decided to choose Liu Zong early in the morning. He just talked to him about Xiu Mu's return and visited his home to discuss the matter.
After today, he had another candidate in his heart.
From the first day he came to the market, he heard that there were three harms in the market, namely officials, raiders, and stealing.
The official's identity and background are complicated, and it affects his whole body, so he decided to deal with it in the end.
After using the quarium to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey" today, I believe that no ranger dares not take his eyes off his tiger's beard, and the ranger is no longer worth worrying about.
His next target of attack was stealing. When it comes to stealing, he naturally could not avoid the "Six Fingers" Zhu A. He was Cai Sheng's friend. Today he drew his sword to help him. Liu Jing was not good at turning against others, otherwise Cai Sheng would not be able to pass that level, but theft would not be cured.
So Liu Jing was going to ask him to wash his hands for his own use.
As for whether Zhu Ahui agrees, Liu Jing doesn't care at all. He has done this step with the ultimate righteousness, and I believe Cai Sheng has nothing to say.
If Zhu Abushi is proud, don’t blame him for using thunder means. He is not a person of achievement. It’s just a sentence to arrest or expel him.
Until he returned home at the time of the day, Liu Jing was still thinking and was free at all. He didn't expect Liu Pan, Huan Jie and Huan Yi to come together.
Such a big thing happened, Liu Jing guessed that Liu Pan came. Needless to say, Huan Yi, as a neighbor and friend, did not expect that Huan Jie would come too.
While invited the three of them into the room, Liu Jing said to Huan Jie: "The visit of Gangji has made my despicable house shine brightly."
"It is said that Liu Zhongda's words are true, but it is true." Huan Jie said to Liu Pan and Huan Yi, and then half-jokingly said: "Since Zhongda took office, I have been waiting in the house for almost a month, but I haven't seen Zhongda come to visit me, so I have to come by myself."
Liu Jing smiled and said, "I heard that the rules and regulations are diligent in official affairs. Even if I return to the house, I can't bear to release the documents. I often end up late at night. How dare I come to the door to disturb me?"
Huan Jie smiled and said, "If Zhongda is interested, just come and I will sweep the bed to welcome you."
Liu Jing smiled and responded to the "relief", then looked at Liu Pan, who was still silent after entering the door and was depressed, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any worries about me?"
Huan Jiedi replied: "He was unhappy about Qu Yuanbo's affairs. The Fujun had already convicted Qu Yuanbo and moved to Baqiu. He was pardoned and refused to return to Linxiang for life. What do Zhongda think?"
Before Liu Jing said anything, Huan Yi, who was standing aside, became angry first and criticized: "What is this punishment? The monarch of the mansion is so kind and has no criminal law. Where is the prestige of a man?"
Liu Pan slapped the table and said, "The Lord Gong said this deeply that I am very happy to be the one who is Gongcao."
The second brother has always been upright and friendly to Liu Jing. It was not surprising that Huan Jie said this at all, so he argued for Zhang Xian: "How can the Lord of the Mansion not know that Qu Yuanbo was extremely guilty and should be executed, but the Lord of the Mansion has its own difficulties."
Liu Jing glanced at Liu Pan and said, "The punishment Qu Xiong was even more than I expected."
Huan Jie sighed: "Yuanlong argued with the emperor in the main hall because of the matter of Yuan Bo. His words were fierce and he criticized him."
Huan Jie was definitely not an exaggeration, so Liu Jing was extremely surprised and asked Liu Pan: "Why is this brother?"
Liu Pan snorted coldly and said, "No one in the hall dares to speak out. If I don't do this, the Lord of the Mansion will be more preferential to the Qu family."
Huan Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Zhongda, you should persuade Yuan Long more."
Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, "Why do you have to get angry with Qu Xiong? Qu Xiong, a man, I have never taken it to heart. What does he have to do with me? I have not been in the market for a month, and I am still arbitrarily capturing and killing. If he does the move of a mantis arm as a chariot in the future, he will just crush him to death."
"Zhongda, you are right, what's the point of being a mere man!" Liu Pan felt relieved when he heard this. He thought about it. It's all that is the achievement of his life, but Liu Jing has a great future, and the two sides are different.
Seeing the heroic hero as if nothing was missing, the courage shown by Liu Jing made Huan Jie feel deeply moved and sighed: "No wonder Zhongda can not only make friends with famous scholars, but also attract heroes. Such a courageous spirit is really an extraordinary person!"
