The noisy market became quite lively with the participation of Xing Daorong, Ma Chao and others.
The three noble brothers of Xiliang beat the people who were provoking troubles until they ran away with their heads covered.
"Old Xing, why don't you take action? Just let Meng Qi and the others do it for you."
Liu Mang looked at Xing Daorong, who whispered: "Master, I'm not taking any action, just pretending to be a master!"
Liu Mang was also very convinced of Xing Daorong.
This guy is incompetent in both writing and martial arts. He is General Lingling. He is hilarious.
It just so happens that he has good relations with many people in the army.
Deng Ai and Huangshan, who were far away in the fields in Jiaozhou, had a good relationship with Xing Daorong.
Now Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Pang De are helping.
"Sir, how should we deal with these bastards?"
Ma Chao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's good to move your fists and feet!"
Liu Mang waved his hand, "If you make Guo'er cry, let's break one of his legs!"
Hearing this, the profiteer was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Master, spare your life! How did I know that you are Master Liu Mang!"
"What's the use of kneeling to me? Have you offended me?"
The merchant immediately woke up and kowtowed to Zhuge Guo one after another.
"Girl, spare your life! Please spare my life, girl!"
Zhuge Guo wiped his tears, got out of Sun Shangxiang's arms, and said softly: "Brother Liu Mang, can we not break his legs?"
Zhuge Guo then pointed at Shu Brocade and said, "I'm separated from my two sisters!"
The profiteer quickly offered the money with both hands, but Liu Mang still gave the money.
"Sir, this is impossible..."
"Here, Guo'er's anger has subsided. I just bought Shu Brocade at the normal price."
Liu Mang did not go back home directly, but went to Zhuge Liang's mansion.
"Brother Xiao Jiang, this is the way to my house."
Zhuge Guo is an eccentric person. After getting the Shu brocade, he burst into tears and turned into a smile.
Jiang Wei seemed a little nervous. He admired Mr. Wolong deeply.
Nowadays, seeing a real person makes him even more nervous.
"Sir, I'm waiting to see you."
"Sir, sit down quickly."
Zhuge Liang smiled warmly, and then looked at his daughter dotingly.
"Guo'er, did you ask the young master to spend money on you again?"
Zhuge Guo made a face, "Dad! That's all Brother Liu Mang did willingly!"
Even Mr. Wolong looked doting on his daughter.
"Sir, don't talk about Guo'er."
Liu Mang hugged Jiang Wei, walked to Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "Sir, do you mind letting me have a junior brother now?"
Xiao Jiang Wei was calm, then bowed and saluted: "Tianshui Jiang Wei, I have met Mr. Zhuge!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "I guess this is the little hero who helped Miss Lu and the princess."
Jiang Wei's face turned red and he said softly: "Sir, all I have are clever tricks, and they are totally useless!"
"Jiang Wei wants to learn from your husband how to govern the country and bring peace to the people! Let there be no war in the world and the people can live and work in peace and contentment!"
Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile. Even though Jiang Wei was younger than Ma Di, he was even more talented.
Ma Su, after all, has Jingzhou Ma's backing.
Jiang Weize comes from a poor family, so it is rare to have such qualifications.
Zhuge Liang was extremely happy because he now had Liu Mang as his disciple.
The Qilin of the Han Dynasty will surely make a name for himself in the history of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Now, there is another Tianshui Qilin coming to the door. It is a double Qilin worshiping Wolong!
"Jiang Wei, Liang will not only teach you strategies to rejuvenate the country and secure it, but also guide you in the art of war!"
"You are talented in both civil and military affairs, but you must make a strong oath to obey the young master throughout your life."
"Otherwise, Liang would rather not have this piece of jade!"
Liu Mang was moved in his heart. Zhuge Liang wanted his junior brother Jiang Wei to be bound to him from now on.
Even if the older generation of powerful generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun come to an end, a new generation of generals such as Deng Ai and Jiang Wei will still emerge in the Han Dynasty.
When Jiang Wei heard this, he immediately kowtowed to Liu Mang.
"You brought my mother and me from Tianshui County to Yizhou. You are my benefactor, my son, and my senior brother. Please accept Jiang Wei's three thanks!"
Liu Mang wanted to refuse, but Zhuge Liang shook his head. He wanted Jiang Wei to treat Liu Mang as a king and a minister.
"Teacher comes again, Jiang Wei will respect his teachings, report to the country, bring peace to the people, and live up to his teacher's trust!"
Jiang Wei then knelt down and bowed as a disciple. There were blood stains on his forehead, which showed the child's sincerity.
Zhuge Liang felt distressed and stepped forward, wiped Jiang Wei, and then ordered: "Guo'er! Take Jiang Wei to clean it. Your senior brother and I have something to say."
Zhuge Guo held Jiang Wei's little hand, and the latter blushed, not forgetting to say goodbye to Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang.
"Sir, when you come to Liang's residence today, besides Jiang Wei's apprenticeship, I'm afraid there are other things you have to do."
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Although Chengdu is already in the hands of our army, Liu Zhang left a lot of mess!"
"Young master will reward the soldiers with treasures from the treasury, which will boost their morale, but we are also in a situation of lack of military resources."
Liu Mang smiled and said, "Sir, that's why I came here today."
Before Liu Mang finished speaking, he heard the concierge coming to announce.
"Sir, Liu Ba is here to visit!"
When Liu Bei entered Shu, Liu Ba also went with the army. Liu Qi and others helped teach Jingzhou's subjects.
"The beginning!"
"Kong Ming! I didn't expect the young master to be here too!"
Liu Ba is mature and prudent. Although he looked down on Liu Bei before, his impression of Liu Bei changed greatly after he went to the four counties in Jingnan.
“Yizhou does not hide its wealth from the people, but from its officials!”
Liu Ba was not polite and pointed out the problem directly.
"Just take Chengdu, the market prices are chaotic and profiteers are asking for high prices!"
"Everything the common people buy depends on their looks!"
"How can you sit back and do nothing when your lord is promoting benevolence and righteousness?"
The more Liu Ba talked, the angrier he became. Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said, "Young Master must have felt what I said at the beginning."
"If prices remain disordered for a long time, I'm afraid Yizhou will fall apart before Cao's army attacks!"
The two were obviously aware of the seriousness of the price disorder.
"This matter is simple. I just don't know if you two gentlemen have the courage to let me have a showdown with my father tomorrow."
Liu Mang chuckled and took a sip of water.
"Sir, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Liu Ba said anxiously: "I can't bear to see the five baht coins in the hands of ordinary people being blackmailed by profiteers!"
Zhuge Liang nodded, "I'm afraid coercive measures can only be used for a while!"
Liu Mang took out a five-baht coin, played with it in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you don't understand the value of currency, you have no center of gravity; if you understand the meaning of currency, you have a balance."
"Today's currency is not a currency, but a legal credit instrument that plays a huge role in people's production and consumption."
"Money is not created in the court, but in people's minds."
What Liu Mang said made Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba fall into deep thought.
"Gentlemen, do you dare to start a currency war with me?"
