Jiangling.
Liu Mang got the news that Huang Hao had betrayed Fei Yu and almost succeeded in assassinating Zhuge Liang.
He did not hesitate to issue the highest internal arrest order. Liu Mang would not allow anything that harmed Zhuge Liang.
All affairs in Jingzhou continued to proceed according to plan with the assistance of Zhao Yun and Pang Tong.
According to Liu Mang's plan, Cao Cao went through a curve to save the country and purchased Shu brocade and Shu salt from Sun Quan, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
At least the demand for Shu salt was too great. With the large number of people in Cao Wei Prefecture, the Shu salt purchased from Sun Quan was simply not enough.
What's more, there is Xuzhou Zang Ba, the secret child he has buried, who will continue to cause trouble.
"Want to play with tariffs? It depends on which of us can resist it first."
Liu Mang was in a good mood and walked with Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping on the street.
Anyway, even if Liu Mang does not sell the goods to Cao Cao, he can still sell them to Jiangdong, as well as the Western Regions, Guishang, Daqin and other countries.
After all, Shu brocade can now be said to be the hard currency of every country's upper class. Its value is comparable to that of oil and gold. Of course, it is not that exaggerated.
However, Liu Mang secretly continued to mythologize Shu Brocade, giving the upper class an illusion about Shu Brocade's ability to maintain its value.
This is also the reason why the Central Plains nobles continue to buy Shu brocade. They like this item and also collect it.
"Brother Liu Mang, I heard that the fox and the tigress have given birth to a son for you."
There was a hint of loneliness in Zhang Xingcai's eyes. Although she was not inferior to Lu Qiling and Sun Shangxiang in appearance, she was too young and was beaten to the spot by those two old women.
"Yes, it's really hard for them. It's a pity that I couldn't accompany them during the Jingzhou war."
This was Liu Mang's first time as a ninth generation and he became a father. He was very worried that he would not want to leave a certain era after he became concerned about it.
I gave birth to a son with Lu Qiling. I hope he can inherit more of his ideas and not be a foolhardy man like his grandfather.
She gave birth to a daughter with Sun Shangxiang, but she must inherit her gentleness and don't be like her mother, who has a temper that explodes at the slightest bit!
"In the future, I will also give birth to a child for Brother Liu Mang!"
Guan Yinping shouted loudly, attracting everyone to become an official. Even if Liu Mang was shameless, he could not bear the interrogating eyes of everyone.
"Look at that young man who is handsome, but he is a lecher who preys on little girls!"
"What kind of lecherous person? He is clearly a beast!"
"It seems that he hasn't succeeded yet, he is obviously worse than a beast!"
Guan Yinping held her waist with both hands, her plump and plump twin phoenixes were full of pride as the tiger girl of the Guan family.
"Brother Liu Mang, hold hands!"
Liu Mang had no choice but to hold hands with Yinping, but Xingcai next to him became jealous.
"I want to hold hands too!"
Liu Mang had no choice but to lead a beautiful woman to his left and right, which attracted the envy of many men.
After the economic war began, Liu Mang ordered Huangshan to bring letters. In addition to letting Ma Chao return to Liangzhou to intimidate the Qiang and Di tribes, he also dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals to Jingzhou.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the first to bear the brunt. Since the second uncle fell in Jingzhou in his previous life, let him help the second uncle and stand up again!
As soon as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered Jiangling, they saw two familiar figures, one on the left and one on the right, holding hands with a certain man.
"Third brother, the world is declining!"
"You and I haven't been in Jingzhou for a long time. I didn't expect the young people here to degenerate like this!"
"The sage has a saying: Don't look at anything inappropriate! I really want to see who this woman's parents are!"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard, rode a red rabbit horse, and held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which quickly attracted the attention of the people of Jingzhou.
They all remembered General Guan's appearance, after all, it was too eye-catching.
"Second brother, I think the figures of those two women are a bit familiar..."
"As for the man's back, he looks a bit like my elder brother!"
"I'm not trying to cause trouble. When my eldest brother was young, he was always attracting bees and butterflies!"
Zhang Fei carried a snake spear eight feet tall on his shoulder, with snow and black feathers beneath him. He was very curious as to when such a strange man appeared in Jingzhou.
"That boy! Are you still shameless, holding hands with a decent woman in front of a large crowd?"
Zhang Fei's loud voice soon reached the street. Liu Mang turned around immediately when he heard such a familiar voice.
"Second uncle! Third uncle!"
"Manger?"
"Eldest nephew?"
Guan Yu's face was red at this time. Although his face was as red as a jujube, outsiders couldn't tell it at all.
Especially since his daughter Guan Yinping was among them, he did know who the three parents were.
Zhang Fei was extremely embarrassed, especially when Zhang Xingcai looked back, his old father felt quite complicated.
Even though he personally made the decision to give his cabbage to the pig, he still felt disappointed after it was given to him.
"Ahem! It's great to be young. Second brother, let's not disturb the young couple, not the young couple!"
Zhang Fei laughed and quickly ran away. Why not go and have a drink with the chicken Pang Tong?
"That's what Yide said! You young ladies, go ahead and leave us alone!"
Guan Yu sighed in his heart, as expected, his daughter has grown up and is no longer here!
Zhang Xingcai had a pretty and shy face, while Guan Yinping let go of Liu Mang's hand and pounced directly on Guan Yu.
"Daddy!"
Thinking of the little girl who used to be in his arms, and now she has appeared so touchingly, Guan Yu couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Silly girl, how old are you, and you still want dad to hold you?"
"I am my father's daughter no matter how old I am! I want to ride a red rabbit horse!"
"Okay, okay!"
Guan Yu couldn't resist Yin Ping, so he had to let him ride the red rabbit horse with him.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Xingcai pitifully, but he only received a blank look from his daughter.
"Dad! Can you stop being so childish!"
"Xingcai, is this what you say about dad?"
Zhang Fei was sad and finally chose to drink.
Liu Mang and Zhang Xingcai returned home. According to his thinking, if Cao Cao couldn't hold on, he would definitely send an envoy.
I just don’t know when I will give in with my traitorous character.
…
Xuchang.
After purchasing Shu brocade and Shu salt from Sun Quan for two consecutive months, Cao Cao felt his head was as big as a bucket after seeing the expenditures in the treasury.
This special girl is not a business, she is clearly helping Sun Quan make money.
Liu Mang plucked out the wool, but he still wanted to lose face.
After knowing that Cao Cao could not live without Shu Yan, Sun Quan decisively stopped pretending.
"Young blue-eyed kid, you are so shameless!"
Cao Cao cursed angrily and looked at Jiang Ji, "Zitong, the salt you developed is not ready yet?"
Jiang Ji looked guilty. He had not been able to break the constraints of this era and complete the purification of coarse salt.
"I have failed the King of Wei's trust..."
"That's all...it's just salt. Let Liu Bei's caravan continue to sell it in the Central Plains."
Cao Cao waved his hand, he had had enough of the inferior salt produced by Jiang Ji!
"Your Majesty..."
"What's the matter?"
"Liu Bei doesn't seem to be planning to do business with us!"
Cao Cao frowned and said nothing, this matter is a bit troublesome!
