The First Emperor had intended to train Zhao Si, so he naturally would not stop Zhao Si from finding clients. So far, Zhao Si has only six clients in total. Although the quality is high, they are too few and far from being enough to form a systematic team.
Compared with the entangled forces of the Three Gongs and the Nine Qings in the court, with many disciples and friends all over the official system, and even in-laws in each family, Zhao Sizhen is just a pure little white flower.
If it weren't for the imperial evacuation order, Zhao Si might not be so heartless as to muddle along now.
The First Emperor happily agreed, and Zhao Si immediately began to prepare for the trip.
"Call someone to get my armor and weapons!" Stepping out of the drive, Zhao Si began to gather his soldiers, and then asked Zhang Cang to help him get his armor and weapons.
"Master, are you planning to capture someone?" Zhang Cang smiled and happily agreed.
"Yes! Peixian County is a good place, a land of hidden dragons, with outstanding people!" Zhao Si said.
This is not the land of the Hidden Dragon. The future Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty lived here. Unfortunately, history has changed. The Qin Dynasty will not die in another generation. Liu Bang will probably not be able to become the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. He can only tearfully lose his Han Empire. Not only that, Zhao Si also wanted to capture the founder of the Han Empire and the gravedigger of the Qin Empire for his own use.
Within a moment, someone fetched armor weapons under Zhang Cang's instructions. Not only did they come with armor weapons, but also Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Chen Ping.
Except for Li Shiqi and Han Xin who were far away in Longxi, Zhao Si's retainers gathered together.
Zhao Si took over the armor, weapons, bow and arrow, but looked at Chen Ping, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang. The three of them were already looking at Zhao Si who was preparing with curious faces, with a smile on their faces.
"Is Heibingtai okay?" Zhao Si glanced at Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in surprise.
These two people have been very busy since they joined Black Ice Platform. Even organizing team building requires their time, but there is nothing that can be done about it. Black Ice Platform has just been established, and there is a shortage of trustworthy and capable manpower. Not enough, but Heibingtai was tasked with an extremely arduous task. Naturally, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang could only do more work on the capable ones.
However, although the tasks are busy, the growth of the two is also obvious.
Neither of them are people who follow the rules. Studying hard will improve Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rather than doing practical work.
Dunruo was also very considerate. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang joined Heibingtai, they had reached the third level of Guansheng in just a few months. Now they are serving in the capital, which is equivalent to the level of eight hundred stones. Of course, there may be some of them. The First Emperor's instruction. ,
"How can I be busy every day? I have a rest today!" Chen Sheng smiled boldly. A regular government service department would naturally have some holidays.
"Indeed!" Zhao Si nodded, this was very reasonable, but he suddenly realized that he seemed to have no real rights to be free, but he actually had no holidays, went to work every day, and was squeezed by the number one capitalist, the First Emperor.
Skillfully put on the armor, put on the bow and arrow, and picked up the halberd. Looking at the hundreds of knights ready to go, Zhao Si couldn't help but complain.
"It's a bit too cumbersome." Every time you go out, you have to bring armor and weapons. Now that the autumn tiger has not passed yet, there is no difference between wearing armor and being in a steamer.
"A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall!" Zhang Cang smiled, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang agreed, but in the end their eyes fell directly on the knight who was about to set off.
Looking back, I still remember vividly when I was arrested. The old farmer who once was still digging for food in the fields and wanted to be high-ranking but not allowed to enter is now in a high position.
"Do you still need to catch him?" Chen Sheng stepped forward and asked.
Zhao Si's arrest of people became a joke in the motorcade. Not only the motorcade, but also officials along the way joked about it privately, and people had different opinions at the time.
Anyway, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were captured on the first trip. Later, when they saw that Zhang Cang and Chen Ping were also captured, they felt more balanced. Later, Li Shiqi and Han Xin also did the same, and Chen Sheng became somewhat accustomed to it.
Now, if Zhao Si used invitation instead of arrest, then Chen Sheng would think it was unreasonable.
"I caught you all with my own hands. How can I work with you if you are not a gregarious person?" Zhao Si teased, and several people burst into laughter. Even the soldiers behind Zhao Si couldn't help but laugh. smile.
"Xiu Mu, maybe you can go with your lord today?" Wu Guang took the opportunity to ask.
It's one thing to have experienced it, but it's another thing to see others experience it.
After following Zhao Si for a long time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also knew Zhao Si's character, so they were able to tease and tease him.
"Can I still stop you?" Zhao Si rolled his eyes and got on his horse.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were determined to watch the fun, but it didn't matter. After all, it was a bright occasion to catch the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If they missed this time, there would be no next time.
"My lord, wait a minute, I'm going to lead the horse!" Chen Sheng chuckled and went to lead the horse, preparing to follow.
"Take two more horses!" Zhang Cang, who was white and fat, said with his hands clasped and his eyes narrowed.
Zhang Cang and Chen Ping were also captured. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang both went to join in the fun, so there was no reason for them not to go.
Zhao Si glanced at Zhang Cang and Chen Ping, who also had a smile on his face.
I was all waiting to see the excitement, but then I thought about it and realized that it had indeed been a long time since I last caught Han Xin with the Master Ball.
After a while, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang came up with four horses, and Zhang Cang and Chen Ping also got on their horses.
The hundreds of soldiers behind him were ready to go, and the hemp ropes were all ready. Zhao Si turned around and took a look to make sure there were no mistakes, and waved his hand to signal departure.
Before he had taken two steps, he saw a colorful shadow jumping straight down from the tree. The horse was startled and neighed. If Zhao Si hadn't held the reins tightly and was an expert in equestrian skills, he would have fallen to the ground again.
Taking a closer look, it was Amber who was grinning and pretending to be evil.
This guy didn't hurt anyone, but his temper was getting worse and worse. Zhao Si couldn't get used to it. He picked up the spurge and was about to hit him. Amber was so frightened that he hid back in the tree, attracting Zhang Cang and others. The soldiers burst into laughter.
Perhaps sensing the ridicule of the crowd, Amber let out a ferocious roar in an attempt to scare the crowd, but it was of no use and the crowd laughed even louder.
Having a tiger in the team is a new thing, and Amber has a restless temper and often gets into trouble. However, Zhao Si never indulges Amber, and will always punch him whenever he makes a mistake.
After a long time, everyone knew that amber would not hurt anyone, but had a naughty temperament, and was extremely afraid of Zhao Si. Nowadays, they mostly use amber for fun.
If in normal times, Amber would have dared to do such naughty things, Zhao Si would have given it a beating even if he cut down the tree. But today, after all, the main task was to catch Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, so Zhao Si could only hold off for the time being. Let it go.
"Just remember, we'll fight again when we get back!" Zhao Si pointed at the Amber Team and set off.
Seeing that Zhao Si actually let him go, Hu Bo became curious and sneakily jumped down from the tree and followed behind him.
Keep walking closer, keep walking closer, and jump into the trees at the slightest movement.
"Come out..." Zhao Si glanced behind him and said helplessly.
Damn, half of your butt is still outside the bushes.
Hearing the sound, Amber stretched out his head, tilted his head and looked at Zhao Si warily, but his body was ready to run away at any time.
"I won't hit you, come here!" Zhao Si waved.
Hu Bo looked at it for a long time and saw that Zhao Si seemed to have no intention of taking action, so he slowly walked closer.
"Put your head over here and put a rope on it!" Zhao Si grabbed the tiger's head and tied the rope to him despite Hu Huo's frantic struggle.
After all, we were not in a motorcade. The motorcade was full of old acquaintances, and no one was afraid of Amber anymore. But to capture Liu Bang, he had to go to the city and take the official route, so he didn't know how many people would be scared if Amber, a stupid and bold man, followed behind.
This was going out, not at home. Zhao Si still had a sense of public morality.
Walking your dog off a leash...
Although Amber is not a dog.
After putting Amber on his sleeve, he punched his head twice again. Amber finally stopped struggling.
The final lineup to capture Liu Bang was finally ready.
The leader is Zhao Si, the bystanders are Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Chen Ping and Zhang Cang.
Plus one hundred fully armed soldiers and one tiger!
"Okay...this battle is really big!" Chen Sheng was speechless.
"It always feels a bit weird." Wu Guang scratched his head.
"Master, won't you treat guests like this in the future?"
"What's so weird about this? There was no Amber when we first captured you, and the battle wasn't this big yet." Chen Sheng stared at the honest Amber who was being beaten by Zhao Si. Should he say anything, Amber was really bluffing when he calmed down. people.
The fur is oily and shiny, the body is strong and strong, and the appearance and body shape are perfect, almost completely based on the aesthetics of a real man.
"I still feel a little weird." Wu Guang scratched his head again.
"If you have time to think about these things, why not think about how to welcome your new colleagues!" Chen Sheng responded.
This time Zhao Si directly stated that he was going to catch people, which was also the main reason why several people insisted on joining in the fun.
When the Lord says he wants to catch someone, that means he is really going to have new colleagues.
And on the other side...
Among Pei County.
Liu Bang, who had sobered up, looked at his clean clothes and then at the clean and tidy bed, and couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in his heart.
Liu Bang was a mediocre drinker, so he naturally knew that he was used to getting into trouble after drinking. To look like this when he woke up, he didn't need to think about it to know that his old friend must have been taking care of him all night.
"Are you awake?"
Mrs. Cao glanced at Liu Bang who was leaning on the head of the bed, and after a moment he brought a bowl of hot soup.
"Are you here to take care of me all night again?" Liu Bang took the hot soup but was not in a hurry to drink it. Instead, he stroked the other person's slightly swollen eyes.
"How about waiting for you to ruin all my taverns? I have no one to rely on, but I only count on this tavern to survive and support myself." Ms. Cao pushed Liu Bang's hand away and cursed.
Liu Bang had long been accustomed to Cao's aggressiveness. Being aggressive was normal. These days, a widow would have been eaten up by someone if she wasn't aggressive.
He hugged Mrs. Cao's slim waist and pulled her into his arms and said, "You are always a sharp-tongued person, so you can't trust me like this?"
As he spoke, his hands became restless, and it didn't take long for Cao's face to be flushed.
After a long time, Ms. Cao finally managed to muster the strength to push Liu Bang away and asked: "You always say this, if you want me to believe you, if you want me to believe you, of course I will believe you, but you don't want to marry me." , don’t you think I’m a widow and have stained your face?”
"How could this be?" Liu Bang shook his head and hugged Cao forcibly.
"My family is poor. Now I am nearly fifty years old and I have no career. How can I be willing to let you suffer with me?" Liu Bang shook his head.
"Have I suffered enough?" Ms. Cao glared at Liu Bang.
"Good lady, please wait a moment!" Liu Bang hugged Ms. Cao and comforted her softly.
"I have figured out a way in recent days. If nothing goes wrong, it won't be long before I become famous. I will ride in the car to greet you personally. I will definitely buy you a great deal of glory." Liu Bang said with a smile.
Although there was no talk of drawing cakes in this era, Cao chose not to believe Liu Bang, an old man who was used to drawing cakes, and rolled his eyes and gave him a merciless blow.
"What kind of connection? Let Zhao Si capture you and become his retainer?"
Obviously, Cao also heard the chatter of Liu Bang's brothers.
"Hey, let me tell you!" Liu Bang patted his thigh and motioned Cao to sit down. After the other party sat down, Liu Bang continued.
But it turned out that although Liu Bang had little wealth, he had a wide range of friends.
That day, he suddenly had a wonderful idea, whether he could use sweet potatoes to make wine. Liu Bang tried to find someone to experiment, and he actually asked Liu Bang to come up with it.
It is true that winemaking is a craft, but in this era when business was completely monopolized by the nobles, even Liu Bang could not sell wine.
But sweet potato wine is different. The yield per acre of sweet potato is too high, so low cost is inevitable.
To be honest, the current low-end market is still blank.
Because grain output was generally low in this era and wine was too expensive, most Guizhou people could not afford it.
The most important thing is that the Qin State officially prohibits alcohol. Without certain connections, it is not easy to make and sell alcohol.
But Liu Bang discovered a business opportunity, and coincidentally, he had some connections.
Xiao He, Cao Shen and others can still help no matter what. No matter how bad Liu Bang is, he is still a pavilion chief. He doesn't dare to think about growing his business, but these connections are enough to support Peixian's business.
The low-end liquor business in a county is quite profitable.
At the very least, it is completely okay to support Liu Bang and take over the Cao family.
Ms. Cao was fascinated by Liu Bang's blueprint of the plan. At the moment, she only thought that Liu Bang had her own heart, so she started to engage in self-pua. She was so moved that she even prepared to use her own small treasury to support Liu Bang's development on the spot.
But at the end, Cao asked worriedly: "Qin State has banned alcohol, will there be any problems with this?"
The war-farming country naturally attaches great importance to food, and privately brewing and selling alcohol is explicitly prohibited.
Of course, whether such a decree can be implemented has never been known.
Prohibition of alcohol will only make the price of alcohol more expensive. The nobles will continue to sell and brew wine.
"What kind of trouble can this cause? This is Peixian County, not Xianyang. The sky is high and the Emperor is far away. The First Emperor is patrolling the world. The worst is that I don't sell it. If it comes down to it, isn't there no privately-sold wine in Xianyang City? ? This decree is just used to bluff people..."
"Besides, a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass. What do you know about a woman? Could you possibly catch me? To tell you the truth, I have brewed more than ten kilograms of wine. It's just that I'm afraid I have to wait another ten or twenty days for the sweet potatoes to be produced. By then, it will be my time to flourish." Liu Bang clapped his hands to appease the Cao family, and by the way, he began to think about how to deceive the Cao family's small treasury. own start-up capital.
No, you can’t lie!
Husband and wife are one and the same, just use them!
"Okay, let's not say so much. You have been waiting all night, and it's time to go to bed. I'll ask them to have a drink, and this will be done!" Liu Bang got a large package of start-up funds from the Cao family. ticket.
Isn't this trying to trick Mr. Cao into doing business? No one can do it.
Business wars in this era are really life-threatening. If you don’t have any confidence and expect to get rich based on some secret recipe, that’s just daydreaming.
Liu Bang had to unite his brothers around him before he could go to the tiger's mouth to grab food.
However, Liu Bang still has confidence in his brothers.
There are also people who hang out in the market, and there are also officials. Although their status is not high, the advantage is that they can join the group, and they can tear off a piece of meat and eat it in their mouths.
"Who are you calling?" Ms. Cao was not an ignorant woman, so naturally she would not stop Liu Bang from socializing, but she just asked subconsciously.
"Who could it be?"
"It's just Lu Wan, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Xia Houying and the others..." Liu Bang smiled.
Mrs. Cao nodded after hearing this, and arranged Liu Bang's clothes again before saying goodbye to Liu Bang reluctantly.
Liu Bang, on the other hand, carried the entertainment funds given to him by the Cao family, and proudly called his brothers to gather in the guest post.
All brothers, count them all!
On the other side, Zhao Si and his party, plus Hu Hu, a stupid tiger, also came to Pei County.
Zhao Si wore golden armor, led a hundred soldiers, and even led a tiger. It even caused some commotion and panic at the city gate.
The soldiers did not dare to approach. It was not until Zhao Si sent someone to deliver the official document that he tremblingly opened the city gate and let the tiger in.
Because there were soldiers all around, and there was also a fierce tiger that preyed on people, there were only a few people watching this time. At most, they only watched from a distance once or twice, not daring to get closer or look more.
"We've arrived in Pei County..." Zhao Si looked up and began to think about who to catch.
Xiao He? Or Cao Shen? Or Fan Kuai?
Of course it’s the lovely Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty!
As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Zhao Si has come all the time, and none of the names written down in the notebook can escape. After all, the First Emperor's fleet is parked nearby, and there are thousands of soldiers accompanying him. It would be a damn thing if he ran away. For Zhao Si, it was also a matter of priority.
"Liu Bang is also a pavilion chief, and Xiao He is also the chief official of the county..." Zhao Si made up his mind and went directly to the government to look for traces.
"I was summoned by Liu Bang in the morning, but now I'm not in the government office. I'll send someone to summon you right now!" The county magistrate responded to Zhao Si's cross-examination respectfully.
There is no way, one level of official seniority is overwhelming, not to mention that Zhao Siguan is not only one level senior?
As the county magistrate, of course he knew Zhao Si's illustrious reputation. Now that Zhao Si was here in person, the county magistrate instinctively began to reflect on whether he had done anything wrong and should be held accountable. After Zhao Si expressed his intention, the county magistrate relaxed, but he had to After knowing that Zhao Si was looking for Xiao He and Liu Bang, the county magistrate couldn't help but become curious again.
Without him, Zhao Si's jokes about catching people were widely circulated within the government. The county magistrate secretly guessed whether Liu Bang, Xiao He and others had fallen into Zhao Si's eyes.
This is of course a good thing. After all, Xiao He was promoted by the county magistrate. If he really became Zhao Si's retainer and prospered, then the magistrate of Pei County would be able to get some credit.
It's just that the county magistrate and Zhao Si are not close, so it's difficult to inquire. He didn't dare to deal with it, so he wanted to send someone to call Xiao He and others back quickly.
"No, just tell me where they are, and I'll catch them myself!" Zhao Si smiled and rejected the county magistrate's offer to help him.
When the county magistrate saw that Zhao Si was not trying to hide anything and had no airs, he subconsciously asked: "Mr. Zhao..."
"As you thought... it's just that most of my disciples are captured. Now it's hard to go to the trouble of inviting them. Otherwise, if you favor one over the other, I'm afraid there will be trouble among my colleagues." Zhao Si teased and turned aside Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others. But I found that several people were suppressing laughter.
"In that case, I won't stand in the way of Dr. Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Si being so frank, the county magistrate also smiled and sent someone to inform Zhao Si of his address.
"Please ask the county magistrate not to notify you in advance!" Zhao Si bowed and left.
And in the guest post...
Liu Bang is promoting his money-making plan to a group of brothers.
“The best thing about this sweet potato wine is its low price!”
"Sweet potato production is so high, and prices will go down sooner or later. By then, it will be impossible to sell grains at high prices except for those who are full!"
After Liu Bang analyzed it, Xiao He looked a little thoughtful, Fan Kui and Lu Wan looked approving, Cao Shen Wang Ling secretly weighed it, and Xia Houying didn't care. He supported Liu Bang.
"This can be done!"
The first one to speak was Xiao He.
Several people began to analyze the pros and cons, but no one mentioned the prohibition of alcohol.
They are all old people, who takes the prohibition of alcohol seriously?
Liu Bang's royal mausoleum Cao Shen discussed the specific business planning steps, while Xiao He silently calculated the approximate expenses and expected income required for the operation.
Just when they were enjoying themselves, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the guest post.
"What happened?" Several people said in unison and looked at each other.
"Damn it, you can't live without drinking. When I get rich, I will buy a big house. Then no one will disturb you and my brother for drinking." Liu Bang got up with a curse and was about to go out to check the situation.
As soon as the person arrived at the door and was about to push the door open, a huge force suddenly hit him, and the wooden door shattered. Liu Bang, who was already drunk, was staggered by this.
"Who? Mr. Nai..."
Liu Bang was about to curse while he was drunk, but he saw a big insect with an eye-catching white forehead lowering its body and roaring, choosing people to eat!
Immediately, I couldn't say anything and ran inside.
"There's a big bug! A second or third copycat!"
It can be seen that when people are drunk, they do not lose their ability to make rational judgments...
No matter how popular Xiao He and others are, they will inevitably lose their composure after hearing about the big insect, but there is no weakling. Everyone's first thought is to protect each other and rush out before talking.
Several people quickly picked up the things they had handy and prepared to rush over. As soon as they reached the door, they retreated quietly.
But I saw hundreds of soldiers outside the door getting ready to attack. The leader, the golden-armored general, was slowly shaking his big halberd, and it looked like he was going to hit them at any time.
"Catch it!"
Looking at the embarrassed people in front of him, Zhao Si smiled and waved his hands.
Who would have thought that the princes of the Han Empire and even the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty would look so dissolute at this moment?
I'm almost drunk!
Zhao Si gave the order, and a group of familiar soldiers each took out the ropes they had prepared and used many times and approached.
"Give me one, give me one!"
Chen Sheng also approached and asked for the rope...
When Liu Bang looked at the scene in front of him, he felt that his brain was a little unable to turn around for a while.
"In addition to scolding the First Emperor, I don't break any Qin laws, right?"
"Has my brewing plan been leaked?"
"Isn't it necessary? Why wasn't the prohibition on alcohol enforced so strictly before? I'm still fucking plotting!"
The more Liu Bang thought about it, the more confused he became, and his heart was severely blocked, but his body retreated obediently and prepared to give up resistance.
There are hundreds of soldiers. If you say something wrong, they will kill you immediately. Reasoning is useless in this situation. The best way is to just surrender.
Unexpectedly, the other party moved faster than him!
A group of soldiers rushed over like wolves and tigers, and began to tie up Liu Bang and his party, and they were so skilled that they were outrageous.
"Wait, why are you so skilled?"
The drunken Liu Bang looked at the leading general in golden armor and the rope getting tighter and tighter on his body, and a bizarre rumor popped into his mind.
Involuntarily, Liu Bang's posture lying on the ground became smoother, and his drunken head suddenly sobered up.
"Grandma! We are so lucky!"
Liu Bang was forcibly tied up, but he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Not only Liu Bang was happy, but Zhao Si was also happy. It went so smoothly that he was ready to run a few more laps. Unexpectedly, Liu Bang just drank and drank everything for him.
(In order to stop the chapter, I directly arrested and brought him to justice in 6,000 words.)
(End of chapter)
