On the road leading from Zhongshan Kingdom to Zhuojun.

Two businessmen were riding a small donkey in front... behind was a huge convoy.

One of these two people is Zhang Shiping and the other is Su Shuang. They traveled between Zhongshan and Zhuo County and were originally engaged in the business of selling horses.

Zhongshan Kingdom is in Jizhou and Zhuo County is in Youzhou. The two places are more than 200 miles apart. On the long road, we can only pass the boring time by chatting.

Zhang Shiping spoke. "It's better to have money. If you have money, you'll be called a man, and if you don't have money, you'll be called a man."

Su Shuang listened from the side and nodded.

"Yes, but this year, the business is a bit strange. Tell me, we just sold the horse, and the price of the horse went up... Let's follow the trend and stock up on a donkey, and the price of the donkey fell... Oh, it seems that money has a grudge against our brothers! It's time for us to be 'hard'."

"The world is already chaotic, some people hoard horses, and some people hoard donkeys... The horse prices have been rising, and the donkey prices have been falling. Hehe, my brothers should be glad to throw this donkey out in advance, otherwise they will only lose more."

As for businessmen, they are all very keen.

The short-term surge in horse prices made the two brothers jealous and came back to their senses. But there was no horse in the market to buy it, and I felt that I was wrong with tens of millions!

Then, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were thinking about doing other business and not being hungry. They followed the big merchants in Fengyouzhou and stocked up some donkeys.

But if you hoard, you can't withstand the daily plummet of donkey prices. Just a few days ago, you threw the donkey to the big merchants, leaving only two mounts behind!

Now, this trip has not had much money, but it has been much less.

I lost a lot of horse sales, and the business of stocking up donkeys lost another lot, which is not good luck!

"Oh... the world is in chaos! Business cannot be done!"

Zhang Shiping complained repeatedly...

"Tell me, these big merchants are really strange now... Horse prices are so popular. If you don't follow the trend, donkey prices will fall to the end. I insist on stocking up donkeys. I don't understand them at all!"

"If you don't understand, it's right. Not to mention these big merchants, it's just the current officials. Which one is not strange? You don't eat wild vegetables, you don't live in the wild house, you hold the next generation in your arms, and you're singing belated love... In short, we brothers can't figure out the market."

...

As the two talked, the convoy had entered Zhuo County, and the two small donkeys and several mules pulling carts were particularly conspicuous.

But at the gate of Zhuo County, I saw a man with tall ears, big arms, and a good-looking man selling straw mats and straw sandals.

"Straw sandals, 50 yuan a pair, straw mat, 100 yuan a piece! The workmanship is fine and sturdy, come and take a look, come and buy a pair of (pictures)!"

The voice is not loud, but it contains vicissitudes. However, there is still a little restraint in this vicissitudes, and there is also a little rebellion and stubbornness towards fate in its introvert.

Everyone in Zhuo County knew this person who sells straw sandals. His name was Liu Bei, his courtesy name was Xuande, and he was descended from the royal family.

However, in Zhuo County, the title of this royal descendant is mediocre and ordinary!

Any stick on the street can kill three or five royal descendants...

The reason is because of a history three hundred years ago.

Emperor Jing of Han had a son, Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan.

Speaking of which, Liu Sheng is an otaku. He likes to drink some wine when he has something to do. In addition, his biggest interest in life is to have a group of wives and concubines. His greatest achievement in his life is to keep giving birth, giving birth, giving birth... In the end, he gave birth to more than 120 sons.

Among them, twenty were named Marquis, and one was named Liu Zhen... and the Marquis of Lucheng. As for the place Lucheng? It is in Zhuo County!

So Liu Zhen settled in Zhuo County. In terms of giving birth to a son, he inherited the fine tradition of his father Liu Sheng and continued to give birth to a lifetime...

In this way, three hundred years have passed.

Liu Zhen's incense continued in Zhuo County, and the more it continued, the stronger it became. It was like a snowball. At this stage, an insignificant snowflake appeared in the snowball. This person was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

...

"Look at me." Zhang Shiping looked at Liu Bei with envious eyes. "They made money from weaving mats and shoes, and at least they would not lose money. It's not like us, they paid money and worked hard, and finally lost all of them."

Su Shuangshen nodded with consent. "Yes, donkey sellers are not as good as horse sellers, and horse sellers are not as good as straw sandals..."

Having said this, the two of them turned over and fell into the donkey...

"Come on, buy a pair of straw sandals!" Zhang Shiping said.

"Okay." Liu Bei looked at Zhang Shiping's feet, then took out a pair of them from the bag behind him, blew a breath, and blew away the dust and soil on it, and then he carefully handed over the straw sandals.

Zhang Shiping took out a few Wuzhu coins and handed them to him, and then planned to put on straw sandals and try it...

"Brother, it's morning now. The size of the straw sandals is not accurate, so you need to buy a larger size." Liu Bei reminded him, but he seemed very honest.

"Oh?" Zhang Shiping was stunned, a little confused. "What?"

"Where are you? You have small feet in the morning and big feet in the evening!" Liu Bei explained...

Hahaha... Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang looked at each other and laughed out loud. It was really like a mountain. There are so many things to pay attention to when weaving mats and selling shoes...

But at this moment...

"Xuande, donkey, Xuande, donkey..." A voice came from afar.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were both confused? Is it called Xuande? Or is it called Du? They are still a little stupid and can't tell the difference.

...

"Brother Deran? Why are you here?" Liu Bei asked...

The person who came hurried over was Liu Deran, who was Liu Bei's fellow disciple. When he was fifteen years old, Liu Bei and his fellow disciple Liu Deran, and Gongsun Zan from western Liaoning all went to the school opened by Lu Zhi to study. Liu Bei's tuition fee was still paid by Liu Deran's family...

Huh... Huh...

With a long breath, Liu Deran rushed all the way... white smoke came from his nostrils, like a tired half-dead calf.

"Donkey...Donkey..."

Even so, Liu Deran was still busy shouting the word "donkey"!

His eyes were staring at the two donkeys behind Zhang Weiping and Su Shuang...

Zhang Weiping and Su Shuang shivered all over. What's going on with this special meow? He is here to buy a pair of straw sandals? The new one... called Deran's brother, do you have any ideas about donkeys? Is there such a heavy taste?

"Brother Deran? What's wrong? Tell me slowly... don't panic!"

Liu Bei slapped Liu Deran's back, trying to calm his breath a little...

Huh... Huh...

Two more breathing breathed, and with a "swoosh", Liu Deran straightened his back and faced Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

"Two brothers, I bought these two donkeys... In this way, I will pay 200,000 yuan! Now, we will pay the money with one hand and the donkey with the other!"

Uh...what?

Two hundred thousand yuan? Buy two donkeys?

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were shocked. If it weren't for the sincere eyes of the brother Deran in front of him.

They were afraid they thought... he must be a lunatic.

You know, the 100 donkeys they sold before did not sell for a total of 200,000!

Is this a fool?

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang exchanged glances...

Just this stall...

At the gate of Zhuo County, a dark man shouted with disdain, "Who are you cheating? Just want to buy two donkeys for 200,000 yuan? Are you talking about the price yesterday? Go and make your dream of spring and autumn! Come on, I will pay 400,000 yuan!"

Ah...200,000? Yesterday's price?

Today? Four hundred thousand! What's the situation?

In an instant, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang fell into an indescribable confusion!
