late han empire

() This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Zhang Fei and his father Zhang Hu discussed in the room all night, but they didn't know what they were talking about.Anyway, none of the servants around the room were allowed to approach, and they even said harshly that anyone who dared to approach would be shot with a stick.

Gao Shun and Liu Ming were in different guest rooms. This guy followed Gao's admonition, so he didn't accept the maid Zhang Fei wanted to send.But at this moment, he silently looked at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking about.

As for Liu Ming, who couldn't sleep even more, he was very troubled. After all, he wasn't sure what kind of future his words at the banquet could bring to him.

The next day, Liu Ming fell asleep for three hours after six o'clock in the morning, when he was pulled up by Gao Shun.

"Master..." Liu Ming gave Gao Shun a weak look.

"Don't think about it in the future, sleep well...and come out at this time from now on, I will teach you marksmanship in the morning, reading and writing in the afternoon, and archery in the afternoon. Whether you want to review it at night is entirely up to you." Gao Shun looked at it. I knew that Liu Ming didn't sleep well last night, so I spoke to him in a half-serious and half-kind way.

"Yes!" Liu Ming replied with the attitude of a soldier, actually wondering why Gao Shun's tone was similar to that of his father at home?

Gao Shun was very satisfied with Liu Ming's attitude.Liu Ming replied with a loud and steady voice, and his posture was upright like a standard soldier, but his voice was still a little immature.

Gao Shun was also very curious, where did Liu Ming learn this trick? The old village head didn't seem to have taught him?

Thinking about the "ambition" of this young village head, Gao Shun suddenly felt that it was not surprising that he had such a performance.

"Today is just to give you a general idea of ​​when you should get up in the future. After all, we are guests at someone else's house now, and practicing martial arts in someone else's yard is not the same thing.

However, there is still more than an hour before the eclipse time, and you haven't practiced much before, so just practice casually with me in this yard. "Gao Shun said with a smile.

This place is actually Zhang Fei's practice place, and there are also training tools such as Shisuo here.Among other things, it is enough to practice physical strength or something.

About two hours later, Liu Ming was already very hungry.

It just so happened that a servant came to report that the court food was ready, and the two of them were invited to go to the hall for dinner.Gao Shun complied, and brought Liu Ming to the dining hall where he had dinner last night under the guidance of his servants.

The two of them can also be regarded as distinguished guests of the Zhang family, so they can take the seat.To put it bluntly, Zhang Fei sat on the side of the chairman facing the door, while Gao Shun and Liu Ming sat on the left and right sides of the first row at the bottom.Gao Shun sits on the left because his seniority is high, and Liu Ming sits on the right because his seniority is low.

When it comes to the food, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a lot of fish and meat. It is so rich that it is only for a day's work to have enough physical strength.Of course, even if ordinary people eat more than dinner, they won't be as rich as the Zhang family.

It took about half an hour before and after, and the meal was over.In fact, Liu Ming didn't have much appetite for this lack of seasoning, the only cooking methods were roasting and boiling, and the staple food was thick yellow corn.

"You two are leaving today?" Zhang Fei spoke first after dinner.

"The village head is the head of the village after all, so it's not the same to leave the village for a long time?" Gao Shun replied on behalf of Liu Ming.

"That's true... So, I can't force you to keep the two of them. If they are free today and come to live for a few days, I'll just wait for a good get-together." Zhang Fei didn't intend to keep them.

To be honest, Liu Ming couldn't help being very disappointed at this moment, he thought Zhang Fei didn't think highly of him.

However, at the next moment, Zhang Fei suddenly clapped his hands, and after a while, a few servants brought a few boxes.

"The Zhang family doesn't have a lot of anything except meat and money. They recently opened a winery, and they will soon have no shortage of wine... Well, to make a long story short... this little money is a small gift from our Zhang family. To be honest, I really admire your ideal, nephew, but the Zhang family has a big business, so I have to think about it.

I hope this little money can help your ideal.To be honest, I am also very curious about what kind of great things you can use this money to drive out. " Zhang Fei said to Liu Ming with a smile.

Although Liu Ming was quite happy at this moment, his interest was not very high.

It is said that 'a thousand troops are easy to get but a general is hard to find'. If a top general like Zhang Fei can't be recruited, even if the money is a mountain, it won't be much temptation.

"Oh, nephew is too few?" Zhang Fei checked his words, but found Liu Ming's unwilling expression.

"No, it's just that Liu Ming deserves such a generous gift from Uncle Zhang!" Liu Ming immediately bowed his hands and apologized. He knew that even if he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't express it directly.

"You call me uncle, I have the final say on how much I want to give my nephew!" Zhang Fei laughed, but he cut off Liu Ming's continued polite words.

Since it was a meeting gift from my uncle to my nephew, wouldn't it mean that I looked down on him as an uncle if he didn't accept it?

"That's it, nephew just accept it. He will use this money to do something big in the future, so that you won't let Uncle Zhang feel that you have lost money by spending this money!" Liu Ming replied extremely firmly.

"Okay... I'll wait and see! By the way, there are four horses outside, and they are for you. When you go out later, someone will bring them to you." Zhang Fei smiled, and then added.

"Yide, this gift..." Gao Shun couldn't sit still, the horse was expensive and hard to get.

Especially according to Zhang Fei, this should be a war horse!For this thing, ordinary people have to pay a lot of money to get one, let alone four as soon as they come up.

"Brother Gao, don't be polite to me. I told you that this is a meeting gift for my nephew. If you talk nonsense, you won't give me face!" Zhang Fei glared at Gao Shun.

"Well, I've thanked you too, brother Zhang!" Gao Shun shook his head and cupped his hands in thanks.

After some politeness, Liu Ming also bid farewell to Zhang Fei under Gao Shun's guidance.

The four horses are indeed very good war horses, but at this stage their function is to pull two carts and bring the few boxes sent by Zhang Fei back to the village.

As for riding or something, Gao Shun had no problem, but Liu Ming had a big problem, because these days, there was no stirrup at all.Getting on and off the horse is a big problem, let alone riding steadily on it.

"Village chief, don't worry... Yide is a businessman, so naturally he won't bet on all his belongings after just listening to one night's debate, let alone you are just a 14-year-old boy.

His meaning is very clear, let's see how capable you are and what you can do with this money.If he thinks you have this condition, he will still come to help you. "On the way, Gao Shun saw that Liu Ming was not in good spirits, so he stepped forward and explained to him.

"Really!?" Liu Ming raised his head, his spirit lifted.

"Naturally, it's not easy to be a businessman these days. If you don't pay attention, your family will be ruined. If you act carelessly, how can the Zhang family be prosperous today?" Gao Shun nodded and said.

"Master, it's fine for you to call me Ming'er from now on, you don't need to be so extravagant." Filled with joy, Liu Ming immediately realized something, raised his head and said to Gao Shun.

"When you were studying under my school, I would call you that. But usually I have to call you the village head, and even when necessary, I will call you 'Lord'. But whether you can get to that point depends on you In fact, in some respects, like Zhang Fei, I'm just waiting for the price." Gao Shun smiled and said to Liu Ming calmly.

"Master, I will definitely not disappoint you!" Liu Ming said firmly.

Back in the village, Liu Ming asked someone to carry the box back to his room. When he opened it, his eyes were full of copper.He opened the other boxes, but found that they were filled with the usual five baht money.

He didn't know the purchasing power of five baht, at least he didn't have a clear reference.But just looking at so many five baht coins, he felt that it was enough for him to spend his whole life leisurely.However, if it is used to do big things, it is possible that it is still less.

System, system!Why, the line of influence has not been activated until now? !

However, at this moment, the system's ice-cold and extremely pleasant voice came: "The player has obtained a total of 250 start-up funds, and the villager approval rate has exceeded 50%, which has reached the minimum start-up standard. Influence line, start to activate..."

At that moment, Liu Ming understood a truth: If you want to play Hegemony, you can't do it without money and nobody!
