The so-called people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Cao Bi relied on his own resources and connections to make a lot of money, so naturally some people were red-eyed. Don't look at Cao Bi as an entertainment industry, in Chengdu City, he is an existence that cannot be provoked. The best place to play is Chengdu, and even the most advanced consumption place in Yizhou, how many dignitaries and nobles, rich and tyrants consume here, and they have more or less something to do with Cao Bi.

This is also the reason why Cao Bi dared to do this.

The only one who can govern Cao Bi is the biggest boss in Yizhou now, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Soon the news was spread to Liu Bei's ears by someone with a heart.

As soon as Liu Bei heard the news, he was instantly surprised that there was such a lucrative and meaningful thing under his rule. I don't have to say it, I sent someone to the best building to arrest Cao Bi as soon as possible.

Cao Bi had long known that Liu Bei would do this, and in the face of the fierce Liu Bei people, he was calm and calm, and he was not frightened at all. Let Liu Bei's men, who came to arrest him, admire him one by one.

Cao Bi came to Liu Bei's state mansion in a very dashing manner, without the appearance of a prisoner at all, even though there were several soldiers with swords behind him.

"The little ones are the state pastors." Cao Bi said to Liu Bei very respectfully.

Liu Bei secretly admired Cao Bi's shock, this person did have good courage, and he didn't even panic at all when he added a sword.

Of course, Cao Bi was not afraid of Liu Bei, he knew that Liu Bei would not kill him.

Liu Bei said very seriously: "Cao Haose, you are so bold, you are actually openly selling goods smuggled from the Central Plains, do you know that you have committed a capital crime!" ”

"Lord Governor, the little one really doesn't know that he has committed a capital crime?" Cao Bi still had that calm expression.

For this kind of calmness, Liu Bei turned from admiration to anger, it seems that this guy didn't take him as a state pastor in his eyes.

"I don't know, do you? Come on, give him a few blows, let him sober up. Liu Bei's words revealed a hint of anger.

At such an instant, Liu Bei's subordinates immediately surrounded Cao Bi, and they were about to give Cao Bi a few slaps.

"Haha! It turns out that Uncle Liu Huang, who is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, is just a person who has been beaten into a trick, which is really sad. Cao Bi suddenly said loudly.

Liu Bei's subordinates were angry, they were all loyal to Liu Bei, and no one was allowed to insult Liu Bei, they thought that they would give Cao Bi a few blows later, so that he would know that it was powerful.

Who knows, Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Stop!" Stand down! ”

Liu Bei's subordinates were stunned, what did their lord do? Everyone else has said such excessive things, so they should be taught a good lesson.

Now that Liu Bei has spoken, as his subordinate eagle dogs, he naturally stops, and they eat this bowl of rice.

Liu Bei's subordinates retreated, and Cao Bi was even more complacent, thinking: "I know that you Liu Bei is such a person, but fortunately, Lao Tzu is clever enough." ”

The reason why Cao Bi can be so confident is because he has already secretly figured out Liu Bei's character. After so many years of mixing in Fengyue Place, Cao Bi also came up with his own set of methods. Liu Bei seems to be a benevolent and righteous person, but that is on the surface, in fact, he is the most selfish and cherishes his reputation.

Since he cherishes his reputation, Cao Bi will make a fuss about Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence. And this time it just choked Liu Bei's seven inches.

Although Liu Bei occupies Yizhou, he cares about his reputation very much, and always thinks that others always think he is good. And as soon as Cao Bi said this, Liu Bei really couldn't let his subordinates embarrass him anymore.

"Cao Bi, you said that the Muqu of Benzhou was beaten into a trick, what evidence is there! The whole of Chengdu knows that you sell things that Yizhou doesn't have, don't think that Uncle Benhuang doesn't know, these are all smuggled by you from the Central Plains. The evidence is ironclad, and the herd of this state is clear and cannot be denied by you. Liu Bei made his image very Guan Hui.

Cao Bi said respectfully: "Lord Zhou Mu, although the small one is against the law and discipline, the small one is wholeheartedly for the sake of Yizhou and you!" ”

"It's funny. You violated the law and discipline, and you actually said that it was for Yizhou and Uncle Benhuang, you tell the pastor of Benzhou a reason, see how you quibble! Liu Bei sat in his position and looked at Cao Bi with a sneer.

Cao Bi had already thought of his words, and said again: "I wonder what adults think this book and paper and other things do?" ”

The effect of the rhetorical question was very great, Liu Bei couldn't help but ponder, and then said: "This thing is of great use to people who read!" ”

Liu Bei is a disciple of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, and he still has vision, and he can see the role of books and paper more clearly.

"Adults only know one thing, but they don't know the other. The book was bound in paper. Since Cai Lun made paper, the paper was rough and could not be written. However, you see, my lord, this paper is as white as jade, smooth as silk, and the pen and ink are not scattered, which is the best thing to write. If this item is promoted, then the bamboo slips can be discarded. The efficiency of the official affairs of the government has been greatly improved. At the same time, countless readers will have more books to study, so that there are many talents! Cao Bi's words are very important.

Liu Bei's eyes slowly widened with Cao Bi's words, but he didn't expect such a little. Liu Bei has gone through a lot of hardships from his debut to the present, and he has used intrigue and trickery to get Yizhou, in addition to his own background and bad luck, isn't the biggest flaw that the talent around him is not much?

Even if he gets Yizhou now, there are only a few talents around Liu Bei who can be used. Due to the troubles of Zhang Ren and others in the eastern counties of Yizhou, many talents from Yizhou families are now on the sidelines, and they dare not easily stand in line.

Not to mention the Shenwu Imperial Court, just look at Jiangdong. Sun Ce's command is full of talents, and he was beaten a few times by Liu Yu, but now he can hold on. That's the importance of talent.

If Liu Bei had so many talents as Jiangdong Sun Ce, he felt that he would not have only one Yizhou.

And Cao Bi's words hit Liu Bei's heart. In the days without talents, Liu Bei was not as good as Liu Yu and Sun Ce.

But Liu Bei didn't get dazed, and said: "It's just a strong word, you secretly took so many things from the Central Plains to sell them in Yizhou, just for the sake of your own pocket." Benshu Mu really didn't expect you to be so bold and dare to sell openly, aren't you afraid of losing your head? ”

Cao Bi's face finally showed sorrow, and Liu Bei felt a little relieved when he saw this.

"My lord, the little one is really for you. To tell you the truth, the little one does have some connections in the Central Plains, and last time they brought the little one that rare books. You also know how much it costs. The little one thinks that if this kind of thing can be cheaper, then it will definitely be very popular. After some inquiry, there are really cheap books. But it's very tightly controlled. The small one is rooted in Yizhou and is already a Yizhou person. The situation in Yizhou, your situation as an adult, is known to the small. The adults are difficult, and the small ones are very uncomfortable. In order to be able to bring the gospel to Yizhou, Xiao used considerable strength and worked hard to finally get some books and papers. The small ones were also tentatively taken out and sold, but who knew that they were so popular, and the small ones couldn't believe their eyes. Cao Bi said a little sadly.

Liu Bei listened carefully, and he felt that Cao Bi's words were not finished.

"Adult, it's too hard for you to feel small. You also know that Xiao is doing Fengyue business, and you also know some of the situation in Yizhou. Zhang Ren and the others are just unwilling to obey your leadership, and they are still making trouble in the eastern counties. Some of the Taishou in other places are even more yang and yin. My lord, you work hard day and night for Yizhou. The last time I saw you, your face was not like this, and now you are all thin. The small one is in the eyes, and the pain is in the heart. Cao Bi forced himself to shed a crocodile tear or two.

Liu Bei was comfortable listening to this, he was not too difficult. The current situation in Yizhou is really annoying, and it is so annoying that it is difficult for Liu Bei to live a comfortable life for a few days. Liu Bei's favorite thing is to live comfortably, but there are always some Diao people who don't make Liu Bei feel comfortable.

In addition, Liu Bei's face is indeed a little worse, but it is not entirely for government affairs, but Liu Bei has been addicted to wine during this time.

Of course, Liu Bei selectively forgot about this.

Since Jian Yong died, Liao Li was punished at home and thought about it behind closed doors, Liu Bei hadn't heard such a comfortable sycophant for a long time.

When Cao Bi was in Qinglou, no one had ever seen him, and his mouth had already cultivated the high realm of seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts. Quietly photographing Liu Bei comfortably is a simple matter for Cao Bi.

"Hey, for the sake of the people of Yizhou, what if the pastor of Benzhou is tired and tired? Everything is worth it. "Liu Bei will really put gold on his face.

Cao Bi didn't say anything, and continued: "My lord, the people of Yizhou know your hard work. The little one is not a powerful person, and he always wants to contribute to Yizhou and adults. And this time, I got these papers and books from the Central Plains for adults! ”

"Haose, I really can't see how you are doing it for Yizhou?" Liu Bei said suspiciously.

After Cao Bi's efforts, Liu Bei had already listened to his words.

Cao Bi took out a piece of paper and said, "My lord, if it is an object, there must be a way to make it." Xiao pondered, if Yizhou can produce such paper independently, wouldn't it be of great benefit to Yizhou and adults? Small people are stupid and don't know how to do it. So the little one thought about getting the method of making it from the Central Plains, but unfortunately it was in vain. The small one finally retreated, bought some samples back, studied it for himself, and if it can be done, it will be dedicated to you! ”

"Really?" Even if Liu Bei's city mansion is extremely deep, it is difficult to calm down at this moment. "Can you develop it?"

Cao Bi said ashamedly: "My lord, forgive your sins!" Small incompetence, there is no way to manufacture it. ”

Liu Bei was a little disappointed, he was happy for nothing.

In Liu Bei's heart, the production method of this paper must be extremely cumbersome, otherwise the craftsmen would not be able to study it after so many years. It is reasonable that Cao Bi can't study it.

"Don't worry, adults, even if the small ones are bankrupt, they must study this method of production!" Cao Bi saw that Liu Bei was a little disappointed, and immediately gave Liu Bei a little hope.

"You don't have to, Haoser! The pastor of this state is not related to you, so how can you make this state pastoral? Liu Bei was telling the truth, Cao Bi was so generous, which made him doubt Cao Bi's motives.

Cao Bi, who is an ordinary person, couldn't hear the vague meaning in Liu Bei's words, so he said respectfully: "My lord, the little one was born poor, and he suffered from the eyes of the world. In order to make ends meet, I had to engage in that kind of lowly work. Even if you make a little money now, in the eyes of many people, the small one is still a lowly person! The little heart is unwilling! ”

At this moment, Liu Bei understood. Cao Bi is a Qinglou, and now he is thriving in Chengdu, but in the final analysis, he is just a pimp. When you are rich, you want a better life. Especially a lowly person like Cao Bi, who climbed up with Liu Bei's big tree, improved his identity, and let future generations no longer be discriminated against. Liu Bei felt that if it was him, there would be no problem with spending a lot of money.

Since the other party is so attentive, Liu Bei, as a benevolent and righteous elder, can't let him be discouraged.

"It is very rare that you are so persistent. That's it! The Honshu pastor also does not take away people's aspirations. You can do what you want!! Liu Bei said.

"Master Xie Zhou!" Cao Bi looked happy, and said at the same time: "The little one will definitely not disappoint you." Recently, adults have worked hard, and the small ones have prepared some hometown souvenirs to make up for the adults and better benefit Yizhou! ”

It's a bastard to have a cheap advantage, Liu Bei pretended to shirk a few words, and finally reluctantly accepted it.

Cao Bi dealt with Liu Bei with three times and divided by five, and he was very proud in his heart, thinking that Liu Bei was nothing more than this in his eyes.

Is Liu Bei the kind of person who can be slapped by Cao Bi in a few words? Apparently not!

Liu Bei didn't believe in Cao Bi at all, the bitch in Qinglou couldn't believe it, and Gui Gong was the same, he felt that he had to let others supervise Cao Bi.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei called Fa Zheng and told him about Cao Bi, and asked Fa Zheng to supervise Cao Bi.

Now Xu Shu is fighting against Zhang Ren and others outside, Wei Yan is in charge of defensive tasks, Liao Li is ordered to reflect at home, and the rest of the people are either unreliable or incapable, and Liu Bei can only use Fazheng.

Fa is the heart is happy, Liu Bei is looking for death by himself! However, Fa Zheng refused, his reason was that he was a dignified official, and he was actually mixed with lowly people, which was really a loss of identity.

This is a strategy of retreat.

Liu Bei really hit the plan, and after some well-intentioned words, he unexpectedly moved Fazheng.

Fa Zheng reluctantly said that he was reluctant to supervise for a period of time, and after a period of time, he would let Liu Bei choose another talent.

Liu Bei agreed, anyway, what will happen in the future, it's not him Liu Bei who has the final say?!
