The Mi brothers were once very rich in Xuzhou, and they originally thought that they were already rich enough to rival the country.
It wasn't until I checked the estates of the Cai family and the Kuai family that I realized that I had underestimated the two families' ability to make money.
"Brother, if Mang'er becomes a businessman, he must be as big as Tao Zhugong!"
Mi Fang was full of emotions, "Now we are responsible for tracing the Cai family's property, and we have made great achievements again!"
Mi Zhu reminded: "Tell your men not to be greedy for money or bring any stigma to Mang'er! Send people to transport all money and food to Jiangxia as soon as possible!"
The two brothers worked harder and harder, as if they had found the passion they had when Xuzhou supported Liu Bei.
The difference is that in the past they only regarded Liu Bei as an investment target.
Now they are willing to help Liu Mang.
How can an uncle not try his best to work for his nephew?
Inside Xiangyang City.
When Liu Bei heard what Liu Mang had done, he was speechless in public.
"This... Han family's reputation has all been lost today at the hands of the traitor!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh, thinking that when Zhao Yun was under his command, he was a white horse general who was as gentle as jade.
Now it would be better to follow Liu Mang for a year and a half, his behavior is comparable to that of a Montenegrin bandit!
Hearing that Liu Mang was going to ransack his home, Zhao Yun and Guan Ping decided to take action without saying anything.
As for the military commander Xia Houlan, who was originally in charge of military discipline, he just handed the sword to the two of them.
The book boy also had a side effect. He followed Liu Mang all day long, acting like a loyal dog.
Liu Bei was glad that Gan Ning was in Jiangxia now. If Gan Ning followed him, the Jinfan thieves would definitely return to their old ways.
"Why do you need to worry, my lord?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Young Master, this is a great good deed!"
"The Cai family and the Kuai family are devoted to Cao Cao. Even if the lord recruits a few people, it is just an act to support the enemy."
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Military advisor, why don't I know this? But now it's called Zhengpi, but it's actually a raid on my family! I think other nobles in Jingzhou are already poking my back!"
Zhuge Liang smiled warmly and explained: "My lord, I still don't know how hard the young master has worked! He is only thirteen years old. No matter how reckless he does, the world will just laugh at him and won't say anything."
"My lord, it is just to preserve your reputation that you embark on the conquest! Now that both the Cai and Kuai clans are serving as officials under the lord, they can be considered to be in their own right."
Liu Bei thought about it and felt that what Zhuge Liang said was reasonable.
Liu Mang was a prodigal and a naughty kid. How could anyone rise to the rank of a great uncle of the Han Dynasty?
If the child does not teach, it is the fault of the teacher! If the teacher is not strict, it is the fault of the teacher!
Anyway, it’s all your Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong’s fault!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt much better, "My son is truly a child prodigy!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "My lord has said before that he is worried that confiscating the property of the Cai family and the Kuai family will frighten other nobles in Jingzhou."
"Young master has already solved this hidden danger for my lord."
oh?
Liu Bei suddenly became interested and asked: "Military advisor, tell me quickly! How did Manger arrange it?"
Zhuge Liang motioned Liu Bei to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
"All the money and food are put into the warehouse, but the land cannot be taken away."
"As my lord said, if it is burned with fire, it will definitely chill the hearts of other nobles."
"Young Master conveniently donated Cai's and Kuai's land to other noble clans. Now you have a very good reputation."
Seeing Liu Bei's confusion, Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "If Cao Cao comes, he will need to collect grain and grass. The Cai family and the Kuai family have many fields, and they will bear the brunt. Now that the fields are in the hands of other noble families, how can they be convinced if Cao Cao wants to take their things?
oral?"
"Comparing the two, which one is better between my lord and Cao Cao, everyone will naturally know."
"Mr. Ma, Mrs. Huang has taken the initiative to move closer to the master. This is all due to the master's good strategy!"
After hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "Ma family? Do you have the five permanent members of the Ma family?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "That's right! Of the five permanent members of the Ma family, the white eyebrows are the best! Ma Liang has already gone to pay homage to the young master!"
"As for the Huang family, they are the family of Liang's father-in-law."
Behind Liu Bei's deep relief, there was also a hint of jealousy.
Ma Liang actually went to see Liu Mang first instead of seeking refuge with him, the uncle of the Han Dynasty!
"But as a father, I have always been generous. Those who rebel against my son are my talents. What difference do we have between father and son?"
Thinking of this, Uncle Liu felt that the tea in the cup was very sweet.
"Commander, have another drink!"
"Lord, please!"
…
After conquering (chao) and establishing (jia) the Cai family and the Kuai family, Liu Mang conveniently gave the land to other noble families.
Without him, it’s because he is rich and willful.
This move was interpreted by Zhuge Liang and directly added to Liu Mang's virtuous reputation.
"Young Master! Jingzhou's Ma family, Ma Jichang, and Ma Youchang would like to see you!"
"Master! Jingzhou Huang family, Huang Yi and Huang Yong want to see you!"
"Young Master! Jingzhou Jiang Wan! Jingzhou Yang Yi wants to see you!"
Liu Mang was lying on his side, and Lu Qiling stood beside him, frowning and saying: "I lost to you in a bet before... now I'm here to fulfill my promise!"
Liu Mang said casually: "Just once!"
"Bah! How many more times do you want it? Shameless! Although I am a craftsman, I am still a woman!"
Lu Qiling was so shy that she started to take off her clothes.
"Just once, then you have to aim! Take advantage of my unpreparedness and hit me with a sword! The sooner the better, let me die well!"
"By the way, as long as I die, I don't have to meet those people anymore! If you want to be an official, just go to my father directly. Why do you want to go to me?"
When Lu Qiling heard this, she said with a pretty face, "Is this what you said once? You are talking nonsense again! Who would seek death for nothing!"
The girl was so shy that she took off half of her gown.
Hearing the sound of the tulle falling, Liu Mang turned his head and saw that the girl's shoulders were exposed, her skin was as smooth as a finger, and her red bellyband was vaguely visible.
"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? Not suitable for children!"
"You...you said before that if I lose, I will promise you anything!"
"I asked you to kill me with one sword, but who asked you to take off your clothes?"
Liu Mang said angrily: "How many times have I told you that I am not interested in little girls like you!"
After saying this, Lu Qiling was so angry that she pushed Liu Mang away, then put on her clothes and rushed out the door.
Brothers Ma Liang and Ma Su, who were waiting outside the door, finally had the opportunity to meet Liu Mang.
Huang Yi and Huang Yong were not to be outdone. Just as Liu Mang was about to go out to look for Lu Qiling, he was stopped by four people!
"Ma family, Ma Jichang! Ma Youchang! Meet the young master!"
"Huang Clan Huang Yi! Huangshan! Meet the Young Master!"
"Jiang clan Jiang Wan! Yang clan Yang Yi! Meet the young master!"
"I have something to do and it's urgent! Let's get together next time when we have time!"
Liu Mang greeted: "Here comes someone! Ten jars of wine and two pounds of sugar per person, send them off!"
Xinye’s Jiuzhongxian and white sugar are in short supply.
In the eyes of the Ma brothers, Liu Mang's "perfunctory" behavior was a sign of courtesy.
"Young Master is just too generous!"
Ma Liang said with emotion: "Young Chang, you are similar in age to the young master's scholar. From now on, when you are around him, you must be humble and consider yourself a scholar."
Ma Su's face showed his childishness, and then he nodded: "Brother, don't worry, You Chang will be a good scholar!"
Huang Yi then arranged: "Da Shan! Take out the archery skills that your seventh uncle and grandpa taught you, and guard the young master from now on without any mistakes!"
Huangshan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, uncle! Dashan will definitely protect you to the death."
Jiang Wan and Yang Yi looked at each other and both thought that Liu Mang was philanthropic and had the style of Emperor Gaozu!
Each of the six received ten jars of fine wine and two pounds of sugar, and left with satisfaction, assuming that Liu Mang had conquered them.
Liu Mang is searching hard for Lu Qiling. No matter how small a fly is, it is still flesh. What if Lu Qiling has murderous intentions?
