Chapter 126

Liu Bu asked strangely, "who is from the Zheng family?

Liu Fuqi said, "master Zheng San is here."

Liu Bu was a little surprised. Master Zheng San was Zheng Zhibao, the second leader of the Zheng family. Some people used to call him master Zheng er.

This is a very famous person in the world. Although he is not like his brother Zheng Zhilong, he is also a hero of one side. The three brothers of the Zheng family, the dragon, tiger and leopard, and the second Zheng Zhihu died in the war in his early years. Because he died early, many people don't know. Others think Zheng Zhibao is the second?

It is said that Zheng Zhibao is the main assistant around Zheng Zhilong, the hero of the generation. Their brothers have jointly laid a huge country. They have always been brothers working together, one outside and one inside.

According to Liu Fuqi, Zheng Zhibao and his father, Liu Yuanqiao, are friends of life and death. They wandered through the Jianghu together and lived and died together. The overseas part of the Liu family's business depends on Zheng Zhibao's care, so that they can transport their goods overseas and get the scarce materials imported from abroad.

What is the purpose of this big man here.

Liu Bu was still thinking about the intention of the other party, but Liu Fuqi said, "master Zheng should come for his daughter's marriage. After all, they are old."

Liu Bu said to him, "what does it mean to be old?"

Liu Fuqi patted his head and said, "young master, you are 20 years old this year. The eldest lady of the Zheng family is one year older than you. This year, she is 21. She is an old woman. If you don't solve this matter, it will delay the youth of the eldest lady of the Zheng family."

Liu Bu didn't like to hear this. He said, "I delayed the youth of the eldest miss of the Zheng family. Look what you said, I never overdo it."

Liu Fuqi said to him, "although you didn't nod, the master and the Buddha have the same idea. They have already nodded. In fact, let you nod and agree, that is, take care of your face."

When Liu Bu heard the word "Luocha female ghost", he was a little bored. Since there were beautiful women in his room, he despised the casual mediocre fat and vulgar powder, not to mention Luocha female ghost. He said: "since both families are world friends, the disagreement of our younger generation will spoil the friendship between the two families and make good things turn bad.

Liu Fuqi said to him, "young master, you have figured it out. If we can't form an alliance with the Zheng family, the Zheng family's resources won't be inclined to us in the future, and your disaster relief plan can't be carried out."

Liu preached, "what does that mean when the disaster relief plan can't be carried out?"

Fudge said: "Young master, if you want to carry out disaster relief, you can't open food. Only Zheng's fleet can transport food here from sea and then transfer it to Jimo. If all our food comes here from Linqing, Jinan, Qingzhou and Laizhou, and there are refugees all the way, can these food be transported safely? Even if we want to transport it safely, how many manpower and materials must be mobilized The only way is to transport grain from the sea. "

After listening to this sentence, Liu Bu fell into silence. He understood that now it is more severe here in Shandong with the advent of autumn. Because this year's autumn harvest is not good, more people have joined the ranks of fleeing from famine. It can be said that there are refugees everywhere on the front line of the canal and Jinan, Laizhou and Qingzhou. They go to major cities for food along the official road. If they transport a large number of grain back If so, how many troops have to be sent to transport food. If there is no army to transport food, it is estimated that they have been robbed by the refugees. Even if they send troops to transport food, these refugees try their best to encircle and rob them of food. Does he really order the army to go all out to suppress and kill one by one?

This is impossible. His food was originally used to help refugees. Of course, how to use these food should be transported out by their Liu family.

What they must do is that after their disaster relief, one party must be grateful and thank them. Therefore, they must use the method they have decided to send food to the victims and appease them. After this winter, they can summon the refugees, open up wasteland, cultivate land and resume production.

The other is their elite Liu Jiajun, the iron fist of their Liu family, which is used to safeguard the rights and interests of the Liu family and meet the challenges of any party at any time. If such an elite force is sent to transport grain, it will be overqualified and overqualified to kill chickens with an ox knife.

Liu Bu knows one thing now, that is, the current disaster relief is both a disaster and an opportunity for their Liu family. If he can control it well, this is an opportunity. If he can't control it well, it will cause civil unrest, which is when their Liu family is finished.

In fact, the officials who sent so many refugees here meant that they wanted to bring down the Liu family by dragging them down.

Liu Bu was in a bad mood when he heard the news. He said to Chen Yuanyuan, who was in a hurry to pack up: "you can pack up slowly and bring more things to Jimo."

Chen Yuanyuan also understood what had happened and nodded sadly.

Liu Bu could not see the beauty dejected. He said, "you can rest assured that I will spoil it. I love you and I am only willing to marry you."

The next morning, Liu Bu went to greet the old Buddha. The old Buddha also knew that master Zheng San was coming to visit. She looked very happy. She said, "Qingzhi, you must go to the wharf in person and welcome master Zheng San with the gift of your nephew."

The whole family knows that master Zheng and Liu Yuanqiao are friends of life and death. Their business can be so big, which is entirely related to the alliance of the Zheng family.

Since the old Buddha had orders, Liu Bu did not dare to disobey them. He immediately ordered Liu Jiajun to go to the wharf after dinner. Originally, there were not many servants deployed here, but more than 400 were deployed yesterday to welcome the return of the old Buddha. Originally, he planned to transfer these Liu Jiajun back to Jimo camp city tomorrow, but today, it was an accident and the plan could not catch up with the change, They had to be ordered to gear up and go to the dock.

Because it was a ceremonial meeting for the guests, he asked his Liu family soldiers to ride horses, and those who didn't ride horses wore armours. They lined up in a neat queue and walked in neat steps, and drove bravely to the wharf. Liu Bu and Liu Kang rode on horses, led the team forward, and looked at the magnificent and murderous team, He was a little proud. He thought that after doing so many things, he finally did a serious thing and took out this army, which is probably the foundation for them to stand in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After they arrived at the dock, Liu Jiajun changed into two squares to meet the master of the Zheng family here.

The pier is also private to the Liu family. The head of the pier immediately brought Jindun and tea when he saw the young master coming.

Liu Bu didn't sit on Jindun to drink tea and rest, but sat on the horse's back and had a word to word discussion with Liu Kang.

Soon after they arrived, a fleet sailed into the harbor and landed, and then loaded and unloaded the goods. The suspension bridge was released. Only a man in brocade came down under a cluster of more than a dozen guards in cloaks.

This is a big man. He is very tall, broad-minded, calm and powerful.

Liu Kang whispered, "this is Zheng Zhibao, the Third Master of the Zheng family."

Liu Bu got Liu Kang's hint, quickly turned over and dismounted, ran forward quickly, half knelt down and said, "my nephew has seen uncle Zheng."

This big man is Zheng Zhibao. He is very happy. He smiles up and has a heroic momentum. He helped Liu Bu up and said, "Qingzhi has grown up and has the spirit of your father."

Liu Bu said modestly, "I don't dare to compare with my father."

Zheng Zhibao looked at Liu BU with a loving look in his eyes. He said, "compared with the last meeting, you have a lot of spirit. I heard that you have become a Wupin general. You are quite good. You have become a Wupin general at a young age. You have a future. Your uncle is optimistic about you."

Liu Bu said to him, "uncle, you've come all the way. You're tired. The banquet prepared by my nephew will receive the wind for you."

Zheng Zhibao smiled up and said, "good, lead the way. I heard that the old lady has also returned to the old house."

Liu buta said, "yes, I only came back yesterday. Dad said that the situation in Linqing was not very good, so he asked the old Buddha to come back and live at ease."

Zheng Zhibao was slightly stunned. He said, "old Buddha?"

Liu Bu had to tell the story of the old Buddha.

Zheng Zhibao patted Liu Bu on the shoulder. He said, "your boy is sensible. He knows how to honor his elders and grandmother. He knows how to please her in this way. Brother Qingyun should be very happy to see you like this?

Qingyun is the word of Liu Yuanqiao.

Liu Bu said to him, "these are what I should do. It's uncle. You've worked hard for a long time, but you need to rest for a while?"

Zheng Zhibao said: "Do you think uncle, my health is as bad as you? When I was wandering the Jianghu with your father, we were chasing and killing a group of horse thieves for seven days and seven nights, and finally caught and killed each other one by one. That's happy gratitude and hatred, and that's tired. When we killed all the enemies, we drank and celebrated, and actually fell asleep while eating. That's a day's sleep. “

Liu Bu had to agree and said, "my nephew, naturally, I can't compare with heroes like your uncle."

Zheng Zhibao said to him, "why not? What can't? It must be done. The son must be better than Lao Tzu, or others will laugh. This is the cub born of a weasel. One nest is not as good as another?"

Liu Bu was a little reserved when he came to meet this elder, but he was relieved to see that he spoke so boldly and jokingly.

Zheng Zhibao saw hundreds of Liu Bu's servants. At the beginning, he didn't pay any attention. When these servants moved forward, they looked like Xu Rulin. He looked surprised. He said, "you trained this army."

Liu Bu said to him, "it was trained by head Liu Niu."

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Liu Zhongyong is a hero. It's your blessing that the Liu family can recruit such people. This army looks a little elite."

Zheng Zhibao is a man who has fought in the battlefield. His eyesight is also very good. Basically, he can see the quality of this army at a glance.
