The old man watched the man finish his sentence with smiles, and said to the man with disdain:

"It turns out that you are the governor of Jiangdong. You are really a big shot. I am just a grassroots. How dare you climb high branches. You should forget about the seed."

The younger man saw that the man wanted to continue talking, so he said:

"I don't care who your confidant is, even if the Jiangdong prefect came in person, we would not sell him a single seed, let alone him, even if the current emperor came, we would never take a single seed away from Liaodong , we only recognize our Liaodong prefect, it won’t work if anyone comes!”

One sentence left that person speechless, and everyone said it, even if the emperor came today, these grassroots people in Liaodong even despised the emperor. It seems that Liu Xuan's method of winning people's hearts is incredible.

I didn't believe it, I had money, but I couldn't buy the things they said they wanted, so I paid the tea money, and didn't let the shopkeeper change the money, so I left the teahouse and started shopping on the street.

I walked all the way to the commercial street, and I saw people selling and buying things everywhere. The shops on both sides of the road, as well as the common people who set up stalls, were all shouting enthusiastically.

I came to a stall selling buns, bought two buns, threw a tael of gold over there, and said to the bun seller:

"The rest of the money will be rewarded to you. I will ask you a question. As long as you answer it well, the gold will be yours."

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun stall heard that this man was so generous, so he asked with a smile on his face:

"I don't know what this gentleman wants to ask? You might as well tell me and listen. I often hear some news here."

The man was overjoyed to see the owner of the steamed stuffed bun stall like this. It seems that gold is still useful. Look, after taking the looted gold, his attitude changed, so he asked the steamed stuffed bun owner:

"I heard that in Liaodong, you have some grains, what are they called, sweet potatoes, corn grains, the yield is very high, the yield is several times that of ordinary grains, is it true or not?"

The owner of the steamed stuffed bun stall saw that this person was asking such a question, so he replied to him:

"You're right. The output is very high. Now every household in Liaodong grows these grains, and every year's harvest can't be eaten up. Have you seen this bun? The dough on the outside of the bun is made from crushed wheat. It's done, it tastes good, you can try it."

The man saw so many answers from the boss, so he asked in a low voice:

"I wonder if your family has these grain seeds?"

The steamed stuffed bun stall owner continued to reply:

"Yes, I have a lot of seeds in my house."

Hearing this, he felt even more happy, and moved closer to the owner of the steamed stuffed bun stall, and asked quietly:

"Can you sell me some grain seeds? The price is whatever you want?"

Upon hearing this, the bun owner put the gold back into the man's hand and said to the man:

"You want to buy grain seeds? Do you want to bribe me with this little money? We Liaodong people, no matter who they are, will not sell them to you. You don't even have to think about it, unless it is ordered by my prefect. Even a single seed cannot be bought in Liaodong!"

Hearing what the steamed stuffed bun owner said, he was still dubious, and reluctantly took the money that the steamed stuffed bun owner gave him and left. He continued to walk around the commercial street slowly looking for the target.

Walking slowly, a soldier who brought him came to him and said to him:

"Returning to my lord, I just went to the place where the Liaodong military camp was stationed to get some news. There are more than [-] cavalry in Liaodong alone, and nearly [-] infantry."

The man was stunned for a moment when he heard it. This adds up to 70 troops. How can there be so many troops in Liaodong!It's too exaggerated. Before the person opened his mouth, he just heard the person continue:

"I heard that they have three legions in Liaodong, and each legion has 20 troops. Another important news is that, as far as I know, Liaodong is already preparing for the fourth legion. Do you know who the general of the fourth legion is? who?"

After hearing this, the man was emotional again, the fourth legion, isn't there a million troops in Liaodong alone, no wonder his lord doesn't want to be an enemy of Liaodong, who can withstand the attack of a million troops, listen When it came to the question of his subordinates, he thought for a while and asked:

"Who is the general of the Fourth Army? According to what you said, he is someone I know?"

The general nodded and said:

"My lord, you don't know him, but you must have heard of him. The general of the Liaodong Fourth Army is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!"

After speaking, he looked at his lord, and saw that his lord's face showed a look of surprise. In fact, he was already shocked by the name his subordinate said, and said, ""

"Lu Bu? But that Lu Bu who is among the men and the red rabbit among the horses?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

This person has said:

"I did hear that Lu Bu was captured alive by Liu Xuan in front of the Hulao Pass. I never thought that a man like Lu Bu would be loyal to such a young eunuch. Come to Liaodong, if you can inquire about news openly, you must seize this opportunity, you know?"

The soldier quickly nodded, turned his head and disappeared into the crowd.

He continued to browse by himself, and this time he chose a relatively remote stall with few people. He used the same method, and finally got the same answer as the previous ones, until he went on to find two more. , can only temporarily give up.

Just as this person was preparing to go back to the inn with a face full of reluctance, another soldier who he sent out to inquire about the news came back, and he cupped his fists at this person and said:

"Returning to my lord, I just found out that they actually have a navy in Liaodong. I sneaked there and walked around the place where the navy is stationed. They are building a pier in Liaodong, and the area of ​​the pier is more than twice the size of our Jiangdong branch. , and their warships. The subordinates sent a warship of such a size that they had never seen before, and it was made of steel and wood. "

After hearing this, the man nodded and said:

"Hmm...you've done a good job. Continue to inquire about the news. All military information in Liaodong must be inquired about."

So he waved his hand and asked his soldiers to continue to inquire about the news, but he stood on the street and thought for a while, suddenly he felt a chill all over his body and said to himself:

"There are not only 70 troops in Liaodong, but also a naval corps. The warships are so much larger than ours in Jiangdong. If Jiangdong and Liaodong go to war, only Jiangdong will be swallowed up."

Having said that, I was taken aback by what I said, so I quickly closed my mouth and walked towards the inn.
