Time flies, and five years pass by. This year is the year 181 AD, March 4, Guanghe. This day is also the day when Liu Yao summarizes the year-end. This year, Liu Yao is 12 years old, perhaps because of his physical strengthening. Now Liu Yao is about 1.7 meters tall, and he has grown into a graceful and beautiful boy.

In the study of Cai Yong's mansion, Liu Yao was sitting there and flipping through the account book casually. In recent years, Liu Yao has lived in Cai Yong's mansion most of the time. Since he sent the top fire cloud to Emperor Ling of Han from time to time, Liu Hong didn't say anything, but was happy to let Liu Yao live outside. Of course, when he had time, he would go back to the palace to think about Empress Dowager Dong to ask for peace. Liu Yao still had a deep relationship with Empress Dowager Dong.

"Shi, go and call Zhang Fang." Liu Yao said to a young man in his 20s beside him.

"No." This person is Wang Yue's personal disciple, and his strength is only one line away from Wang Yue. As for Wang Yue himself, after Liu Yao earned enough money, he sent him to train a group of dead soldiers, named the Dark Group, with a total of 500 people. Each of these people is a good assassination player, and most of them were sent out by Wang Yue to collect intelligence. The Chamber of Commerce directly trained a group of 3,000 guards under the leadership of Zhang Fang. It is said to be guards, but if it is in war, they are elite soldiers on the battlefield. This is all the strength Liu Yao has at hand now.

"See lord!" This is Zhang Fang's arrival.

"Zhang Fang, you're here." Liu Yao put down the account book, rubbed his eyebrows, relieved his fatigue. Liu was really not good at accounting management. He felt dizzy after reading it for a while. "Tell me about today's income and material reserves."

"No. lord, our Huoyun Trading Company has made 150,000 gold in profits in the two aspects of wine and exquisite seats this year. Including other transactions such as grain and silk, the total profit is about 200,000 gold."

"So many!!" Liu Yao was shocked.

"It is true that the exquisite seats you made last year have been loved by everyone and are sold very hot now, so the profits are naturally much higher than last year."

"How about the food reserves and the manufacturing of crossbows and saddle horseshoes." Liu Yao continued to ask. The 10 crossbows and saddle horseshoes were drawn by Liu Yao over the past five years. Liu Yao was very happy when he drew the crossbows drawings. Both infantry and cavalry, this is a big killer weapon. The saddle horseshoes are a major cheating tool for training cavalry. They can quickly become powerful cavalry and reduce the death and elimination rate of horses. As for three more chances, Liu Yao, who was almost angry, vomited blood, it would be fine if he didn't say it.

The seat transaction originated from Liu Yao's inability to kneel down, so he ordered people to create it in boredom. He wanted to avoid being so tired, but unexpectedly, when Zhang Fang saw the novel seat, he discovered the business opportunities, so he made a purchase of goods, and it became popular throughout Sili for a while. If anyone did not have a seat, he would be embarrassed to talk to others. Even other states had the footprints of Huoyun Trading.

"Reported to the lord, the grain reserve has reached 400,000 stones. As for the horseshoe and saddle, it is enough to equip a cavalry team of 10,000 people. What is missing now are horses and cavalry. However, the production of crossbows is quite troublesome, so there are only more than 3,000 pieces so far, which can be equipped with the three thousand elite soldiers."

Liu Yao frowned, "The reserve of grain must continue, and the other two must be accelerated. As for horses, it is not the time to do so. Large-scale horse trading will attract the attention of some people."

"promise."

"You two go down first, let me calm down." Liu Yao waved his hand and said.

"No." The two of them agreed and retreated.

Liu Yao stood up, walked to the window, looked at the green scenery outside the window, breathing fresh air. His fatigue also reduced a lot. "What should be prepared is almost ready, it's time to start planning, and the troubled times are coming soon." Liu Yao frowned and murmured to himself. After all, he was not sure whether the next plan could be successful. "Prevent the moves by chance!"

At this time, a figure rushed into the study and grabbed Liu Yao's arm "Brother Yao."

"Yan'er, it's you." When Liu Yao saw that the person coming was Cai Yan, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed. Over the years, the two of them often played together, studied poetry, songs, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts. The relationship was extremely good. Cai Yan is now 10 years old and has become a graceful person.

"Brother Yao, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Cai Yan saw Liu Yao frowning all the time, and immediately understood and asked in a low voice.

"Haha, it's okay." Liu Yao said with a smile barely.

"Hmph, Brother Yao, you lied to others. You laughed even worse than crying." Cai Yan stomped his feet angrily and said with a pout.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. You can hang an oil bottle when you pout your mouth." Liu Yao said with a smile.

"Puchi, you can only hang an oil bottle." Cai Yan was amused by Liu Yao, and then said, "Or, Brother Yao, Yan'er will play you a song."

"Okay, I haven't listened to your song Yan'er for a long time." Liu Yao agreed happily.

"Okay, wait a moment." He ran out of the study room.

"Haha, this girl is still so popular," Liu Yao said to himself. However, Liu Yao also likes Cai Yan's personality. Perhaps Liu Yao still preserves the thoughts of his previous life.

Not long after, Cai Yan trotted in with a guqin in his arms. Cai Yan was in his hand with the Jiaoweiqin. This was Cai Yong's most precious thing. Cai Yan learned music from Cai Yong, and now he is very outstanding, so Cai Yong handed over the Jiaoweiqin to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan put on the Jiaoweiqin, sat upright, and began to pluck the strings. Suddenly, beautiful music came into Liu Yao's ears. Although Liu Yao could be said to have seven or six orifices, he still knew nothing. However, Cai Yan's piano sound did have the effect of cleaning the soul. Liu Yao suddenly felt a little more comfortable, and his brows that had been frowning loosened.

After the song was over, Cai Yan devoted himself to it, and fine beads of sweat also oozed out of his head. "Brother Yao, does it sound nice?"

"It sounds nice." Liu Yao took out a sweat parcel from his arms and slowly wiped off the sweat beads from Cai Yan's forehead. Cai Yanhong looked down with her head and dared not speak.

"Ahem." This was a cough that came from outside the door.

"Ah!!!" They looked at each other, and they didn't know when Cai Yong looked at the two people with a smile.

"Ahem, the relationship between you two is pretty good." Cai Yong teased.

"Oh, Dad, what are you talking nonsense? I'll ignore you." As Cai Yan stomped his feet, pushed Cai Yong away, blocking the door and ran away.

Liu Yao looked at the disrespectful old guy and said angrily, "Teacher, is there anyone who teases your daughter like this?"

"Ahem, I won't talk about this." Cai Yong also felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the topic. "Yaoer, are you ready now?"

Hearing this topic, Liu Yao couldn't help but become serious, "Basically, I'm ready. I'm going to think about my father's proposal to go outside as an official tomorrow."

"Yao'er, are you really ready?" Cai Yong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I'm ready, now the best opportunity." Liu Yao said firmly. In three years, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184 will begin. If you don't go out to develop your strength, you will not be able to achieve military achievements during the Yellow Turban period, as well as to accommodate refugees, and strengthen yourself.

"Where are you going to be an official?"

"Youzhou!" Liu Yao said without hesitation.

"What!!! Do you know that Youzhou is not only barren, but also has Wuwan's foreign enemies threatening at any time. How can you go here?" Cai Yong was immediately anxious when he heard this.

"No, teacher, it's better to have foreign enemies. It's just the cornerstone of my training. In my eyes, Wu Heng is just a native chicken and a tile dog. He is just a powerful cavalry, but I have a crossbow, so I can be completely unafraid of him." Liu Yao was full of confidence. In history, Tuo Yi's powerful crossbow of the first death warrior was the nemesis of the light cavalry, not to mention a crossbow with greater power than a crossbow.

"Oh, okay, I can't tell you, Yao'er, you must take care of yourself." Cai Yong sighed helplessly and strode away from the study.
