Chapter 8: Rising fortunes come from the sky

Liu Bi doesn't care too much about his marriage, after all, he can travel through time even if he plays a game.

Cao Mengde only loves his wife, and Liu Xuande only loves his wealthy daughter. It seems that there is no problem for him to marry a wife to increase his political status, right?

What Liu Bi cares more about is how to avoid the civil strife of Chenliu.

As soon as the Dongdong Alliance was established, the appointment effect from Luoyang was greatly reduced. Even if the alliance was to stabilize the hearts of the people, it would never kick Zhang Miao out and recognize Liu Bi. Otherwise, once Dong Zhuo saw that this was feasible, he would immediately appoint a new group of prefectures and county governors. In this way, the Dongdong Alliance would be disintegrated in an instant?

Liu Bi wanted Chen Liu, but what he wanted was not a messy Chen Liu. If the internal friction was too large, Liu Bi would not be sure to withstand the attacks from all directions in the subsequent battle between heroes.

Therefore, it is really not difficult to obtain the position of prefect, but the difficult thing is how to take this position.

Liu Li entered the yard and reported carefully.

"Brother, there is a caravan consul outside the mansion who claims to be Wuji Zhen's family to ask for a visit!"

"Wuji Zhen? Take him in!"

Liu Bi suddenly laughed.

There is an old acquaintance from Liu Bi in the Zhen family. This has been in love for thousands of years, so he must be familiar with this!

But I didn’t expect that Chenliu was hundreds of miles away from Wuji and had no contact for many years. How could someone from Zhen come to visit him suddenly?

The two met implicitly. The person named Zhen Fang, who grew up in the Zhen family since childhood, began to be responsible for helping Zhen's business in various places when they grew up.

This situation was extremely common in ancient times. Most of the children with blood would go on a career in the officialdom, while unpopular businesses were handed over to some servants from the sidelines and core.

After a greeting, Zhen Fang directly explained his purpose.

"Ten days ago, I was responsible for trafficking a batch of horses to Chenliu for sale, but who would have thought that I would encounter bandits shortly after entering Chenliu. After a bloody battle, I was defeated and retreated. I was about to return to Wuji to apologize, but I heard that the bandits in Chenliu County were afraid of Liu Jun Yongqiu..."

Liu Bi frowned slightly and looked at Liu Li not far away.

War horses are a shortage of goods. If their subordinates grab a war horse, they must report it immediately, but they have not received any reports.

When Liu Bi saw Liu Li shook his head and said that he had not received the news, he probably knew it.

At the beginning, the only ones who took action in Chenliu County were indeed our own people.

However, as the losses increased, some people could not sit still, so they joined in, so many caravans that paid gifts to Liu Bi were robbed in the past few days.

The preliminary result of Dian Wei's investigation was that this was a premeditated looting, and the target was basically locked, which could almost be judged as simple revenge.

Liu Bi spread his hands and said with a helpless look on his face.

"Chenliu is a little uneasy recently. You didn't say hello in advance before you came. Chenliu County is so big that you don't even know who made the move. This makes it difficult for me to deal with it!"

Zhen Fang shook his head quickly.

"Liu Jun misunderstood. Although these three hundred war horses are valuable, they are nothing to the Zhen family. The Zhen family never cares about how much profit it makes in business, but they just can't swallow their anger. Zhen came here just to tell Liu Jun about this. If Liu Jun could recover these war horses, Zhen could give these war horses to Liu Jun by his own initiative. This is an apology for the previous impolite affair, and it can also be regarded as a good relationship between the Zhen family and Liu Jun!"

Liu Bi looked at Zhen Fang with a little surprise. He thought he found the one he wanted to help him recover because the horse was stolen. But he didn't expect that Zhen Fang was quite generous and gave it to him as soon as he said he could give it away?

In the fourth year of Guanghe (181), Emperor Ling of Han recruited horses, but was obstructed by local tyrants. The price of a horse was as high as two million yuan.

Then the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Although the powerful were doing the trouble with two million yuan, nowadays, an ordinary horse can easily be sold between 8,000 and 10,000 yuan.

That is three hundred war horses, worth at least two million to three million, or even higher.

Besides, the princes in the world are about to fight against Dong, so the price of war horses will naturally rise at this time.

Of course, Cheng Yu was also very surprised. No one could not be shocked when faced with such a fortune from heaven, but when he thought that it was the Zhen family, Cheng Yu immediately understood.

"Lord, the Zhen family has always been famous for their travels. Since Mr. Zhen said he wanted to give it away, there is no problem."

Liu Bi was still a little confused, but he nodded.

"You mean the batch of war horses I purchased were robbed by the bandits?"

Zhen Fang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right, this is a mistake from the Zhen family. The Zhen family has been walking for many years and has never had such an incident. If Liu Jun can retrieve these war horses, the Zhen family will not accept the transaction to show apologies!"

Liu Bi nodded, deliberately showing an angry expression on his face.

"I, Liu Wude, have always been friendly to others. Even those bandits, I always advise them to turn back and be polite. I didn't expect that someone would dare to bully me, Liu Wude. I will take a look at who is so brave!"

Cheng Yu secretly gave Liu Bi a thumbs up in his heart. If I hadn't learned enough during this period, I would have been deceived by your appearance.

Do you just call me friendly with others or not?

Call it polite first and then soldiers?

You are afraid that you have any misunderstandings about these two words?

...

After seeing Zhen Fang off, Liu Bi looked at Cheng Yu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Zhongde, the Zhen family is really rich in financial resources? I have been saving in Yongqiu for several years and I dare not have such a big tone, let alone Zhen Fang is just a servant of the Zhen family?"

Cheng Yu laughed.

"The Wuji Zhen family can inherit the position of county magistrate of two thousand stones. What does the lord think of their financial resources? I heard that the Wuji Zhen family is mobilizing food and grass recently, and probably contacting a certain prince. In addition, the Wuji Zhen family also likes to be kind and charitable and make friends.

I guess they don’t know where to transport these three hundred horses. As a result, the news was delayed. I don’t know that something happened in Chenliu County. Anyway, the war horses were stolen and they couldn’t come back. They didn’t have much power in Chenliu. It would be better to use these war horses to make a good relationship. It just so happened that the lord’s reputation was very famous in Chenliu, so Zhen conveniently came to the door. This matter is quite in line with Zhen’s style!”

When Liu Bi heard Cheng Yu say this, he instantly remembered something.

The Zhen family supported Yuan Shao in this battle. After Yuan Shao was defeated, he supported Cao Cao. Zhen Mi also remarried Cao Pi at this time. The words "Everyone and Essential" were played by the Zhen family clearly.

"The Zhen family must support Yuan Shao. Apart from Yuan Shao, there are no decent princes in the north. As for these war horses, I always feel that things are not that simple!
