Chapter 90 Fisherman's Profit

Liu Bei also quickly came to his senses.

Guan Yu is a general in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong. If they get married, what should he, the left general, do? Even if Guan Yu is loyal to him, Guan Yu's disobedientness is also obvious. In the future, if he dies before Guan Yu and his son Liu Chan inherits his career, can Guan Yu still be loyal to him? If he has something else in mind, who can control him?

Liu Bei broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Fa Zheng, but Fa Zheng was ashamed and annoyed, and didn't say anything for a long time. Liu Bei had to turn his eyes to Zhuge Liang again: "What should we do according to Kong Ming's opinion?"

"General Guan's loyalty can be learned from the moon, but it can't be avoided that others will have ideas. At that time, I'm afraid that the good words of the lord and General Guan will have twists and turns." Zhuge Liang said euphemistically, "I think I must choose a person who will not arouse other people's suspicion to get married. What's more, Sun Deng is still a child, and he is really not suitable to marry General Guan's daughter.

"So... which one is more suitable?" Liu Bei stroked his beard under his jaw and tapped his fingers on the desk.

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything and retreated back with his head down. Fa Zheng turned his eyes for a while, but laughed: "Master, I think of someone."

Liu Bei turned his head and looked at him.

"Sun Shao." Fa Zheng smiled proudly and said, "Kong Ming's worry just now is very reasonable. General Guan really can't get married to Sun Deng, but it's appropriate to get married to Sun Shao." He put up his hand and broke off a finger: "One, Sun Shao and Guan Feng are the same age and have a talent. This time, they met General Guan in Xiangyang, which is more literary and martial arts, and quite in line with Guan Feng. General Guan will certainly not object. Second, Sun Shao has a special identity. Sun Quan will definitely not let him lead the army, which can avoid the suspicion of others. Third, if Sun Quan doesn't agree, the blame will not be on me, and Jiangdong people will also think that he treats Sun Shao too much, hurts benevolence and righteousness, and his reputation will inevitably be damaged. After the two sides are close to each other, he must also have some scruples. He can no longer follow Mrs. Sun's mistakes and teach others.

When it comes to Sun Shangxiang, the corners of Liu Bei's eyes can't help twitching a few times. In those years, he was scared by Sun Shangxiang, a shrew, and had psychological sequelae. He thought about it and felt that what Fa Zheng said was quite reasonable. More importantly, if Sun Shao really did what Fa Zheng said, then Guan Yu's pass would be much better. Otherwise, he was really not sure to make Guan Yu obedient.

"Can Sun Shao really do it?"

"What filial piety said is very true, and I also think that Sun Shao is feasible." Zhuge Liang flattered Fa Zheng at the right time, and then said, "Sun Shao can't lead troops in Jiangdong. Now he can only run the wine industry to be self-sufficient. However, his wine is quite a little bit.

"What does wine say?" Fa Zheng pulled back a game and was in a good mood. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was cautious, he asked with a three-point smile, "Is there any secret about this wine?"

"Filial piety is indeed not easy to say, and there must be a right one." Zhuge Liang smiled and pulled out a few secret reports from his arms and sent them to Liu Bei: "This is the news sent back by Jianye's spies. Sun Quan built a workshop in Jianye and sent Mrs. Sun to lead the troops to guard. All idle people are allowed to enter, and the people inside can't come out casually. They also bought some supplies. Here is the list.

Liu Bei looked at the list and couldn't help laughing: "Is he making wine or alchemy? Why do I look at these alchemy materials?"

Fa Zheng took a look, and his face became serious: "So, it's really suspicious. If it's just wine, why is it so mysterious? Kong Ming, is this wine related to Sun Shao?

"Exactly." Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly: "The recipe for this wine is offered by Sun Shao. Moreover, Sun Shao himself is also selling alcohol. He has agreements with 13 counties, so he earns 650 gold every year. Zhuge Liang's eyes were bright and shrewd, and capable, and his usual gentleness was very different: "I estimated that the scale of Jianye's winery was dozens of times larger than Sun Shao's own winery, which was enough to supply the whole Jiangdong area. If he made new wine like Sun Shao's own workshop, then he made so much wine to sell. Where to go? Why did Sun Shao take the initiative to supervise the production without worrying about being affected at all?

"There is a ghost." Liu Bei and Fa Zheng said in one voice.

"So, I suggest that General Guan marry his daughter to Sun Shao. Maybe it may help us get this secret." Zhuge Liang finally made a conclusion, staring at Liu Bei without blinking, and did not hide his urgency. After hearing the news of Jianye Restaurant, he was on his mind. This time Sun Shao came to Chengdu, he suddenly thought of this idea. At present, he first denied Fa Zheng's idea, and then took advantage of the opportunity to throw out his idea. If Liu Bei adopts it, his position in Liu Bei's eyes will change, instead of the current embarrassment. General of the military division.

People are always curious. Although Liu Bei doesn't know what the use of this new wine is, Sun Quan is so mysterious that he suddenly became interested and couldn't wait to know what it was for immediately. Fa Zheng is a smart person. He knows Sun Quan very well. Sun Quan can spend such a high price on this matter, so this matter must be worth exploring. Moreover, although he has an average friendship with Zhuge Liang, he also knows that Zhuge Liang is also a smart person. He must have a reason to pay attention so much.

As soon as the three of them discussed it, they immediately settled the matter.

Zhang Cheng received the decision conveyed by Zhuge Liang, but there were not many surprises. He only hesitated for a while before saying that Sun Quan's original intention was Sun Deng. Now it is Sun Shao. It is not easy for him to make a decision without authorization, so he needs to ask Sun Quan for instructions. It will take nearly two months to come and go. I'm afraid it won't be concluded until after the Spring Festival. In order to save time, please discuss with Guan Yu first. If he also agrees, they can hire him as soon as Sun Quan's permission arrives.

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything and immediately agreed. He said to Zhang Cheng confidently, "Don't worry, this matter is good for both sides, and Sun Quan will definitely agree. Zhang Cheng's bitter smile is good for both sides, but it is not good for Sun Shao. If Sun Shao really has no ambition, that's all. It's also a gain to hold the beauty back. If he is not as willing to be indifferent as he said and still wants to lead troops, he will be trapped this time - he married Guan Feng, how can Sun Quan suppress him? No one will say anything.

Sun Shao still looked indifferent. He just felt that this matter was a little too smooth. He was still thinking about how to transfer flowers and trees. Liu Bei took the initiative to fulfill him. He didn't expect that the self-secret new wine had aroused Zhuge Liang's suspicion.

The messenger of Jiangdong went down the river and immediately rushed back to Jianye. Liu Bei's messenger also set out at the same time and rushed to Jingzhou to ask Guan Yu's opinion. Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao had nothing to do, so they wandered around Chengdu. Zhang Cheng was interested in learning. He went to visit a university student like Xu Jing, but Sun Shao was interested in the market. He ran to Chengdu as soon as he was free. The scale of Chengdu is larger than that of Wu County, and there are rich items. Many of them are unheard of by Wu County. With lacquerware as the crown of the world, Sun Shao naturally can't come here for nothing.

On this day, Sun Shao came back from Chengdu. Qiao Yue behind him was full of jewelry, but Shuai Zeng picked up a set of lacquerware. The other attendants were not empty. The master and servant were strolling on the street and saw Zhuge Liang's carriage face to face. Zhuge Liang smiled as soon as he saw Sun Shao. He looked at the lacquerware in Shuai Zeng's hand and said, "Captain Sun likes Chengdu's lacquerware?"

Sun Shao laughed and said, "Yes, the quality of the utensils in Chengdu is much better than that in Wu County."

"This is not the best." Zhuge Liang invited Sun Shao into the car and said with a smile, "The best are official works. In the past, they were all imperial objects in the palace. At present, Your Majesty is held hostage by Cao Qian and can't enter the palace. The craftsmen can't support themselves, so they flow out."

Sun Shao's eyes lit up. This royal thing must be a good thing. If you can get a few sets and take it back, it's a good style.

"Where can I sell it?"

"It's not for sale." Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at Sun Shao and said, "If Captain Sun wants it, we might as well make a deal. It's okay to give you a few sets."

Sun Shao instinctively became vigilant, but he looked at the wise man who was almost demonic in later generations with a smile: "What kind of deal does the general want to do?"

Zhuge Liang avoided talking: "Liang wants to ask the captain, if the marriage is done, what do you want to use as the bride price?"

"Weal gift?" Sun Shao smiled and said, "Didn't you show it to the general?"

"I'm afraid those... are not enough." Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Shao with a three-point smile: "General Zuo and General Guan have deep feelings. If General Guan marries a daughter, General Zuo will definitely reward a lot. Your betrothal gifts are all for General Guan, but not to General Zuo."

"What does General Zuo want?" Sun Shao asked quietly. He asked.

"Wine." Zhuge Liang stared at Sun Shao's eyes: "The new wine of Jianye workshop."
