Chapter 10 Liu Yan

(This chapter is free)

Liu Bin's good deed was also known by Liu Yan, the prefect of Jizhou at that time. After sending people to inquire, he knew that Liu Dashan was still a relative of the Han Dynasty and his own nephews, so based on the principle that he could not get rich and could not get out of the field of outsiders, Liu Yan decided to call Liu Bin a filial and honest person. In this way, Liu Bin was considered a person with fame and fortune. It was already a month after Liu Bin learned the news. He didn't expect that things would happen so much, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. And Zhenyi, who was opposite him, looked happy.

He was a little unhappy about Liu Bin's actions, and felt that Liu Bin was a little mobilized. However, after hearing that the prefect wanted to call Liu Bin a filial and honest person, he began to admire Liu Bin and began to spread money to settle the matter. Moreover, he felt that this was a great opportunity for Liu Bin to start his career. Liu Yan was the prefect of Jizhou and a relative of the Han Dynasty. He had a great reputation. With his care, Liu Bin's career was relatively convenient. So he asked Liu Bin to quickly get to know Liu Yan and establish a good relationship with Liu Yan.

Tong Yuan, who had already left the seclusion, also encouraged Liu Bin to do this. He knew that Liu Bin was busy for the past two months, but he did not leave the martial arts work, so he was already very pleased. His requirements for Liu Bin were different from those for Zhao Yun. He did not require Liu Bin and Zhao Yun to practice martial arts all day, and also hoped that he could do some practical things. After guiding Liu Bin to do these great good deeds, he was also very pleased. After all, he educated his disciples to be for the country and the people. Liu Bin's actions have begun to do now, so he was of course very pleased. He naturally would not object to being able to make the disciple go further. Moreover, since Liu Bin is also a relative of the Han Dynasty, it is natural to have a good relationship with Liu Yan, the uncle of the clan.

When Liu Bin saw that Zhen Yi and Tong Yuan said this, he agreed. The first batch of wines brewed had already come out. After Liu Bin tasted them, although he was still a little dissatisfied with modern white wines, he still felt that there was still a certain gap with modern white wines. However, Tong Yuan, who loved wines and Zhen Yi, who had tasted the world's fine wines, praised them. Liu Bin did not blame the craftsmen, but encouraged them to continue working hard. Since he wanted to make friends with Liu Yan, Liu Bin decided to use these fine wines to open the way, which was exactly in line with the propaganda plan Liu Bin mentioned at the beginning. So after receiving the smiley official document from the prefect of Jizhou, Liu Bin and Zhen Yi left Liujiazhuang, preparing to go to Jizhou City to thank Liu Yan, make friends, and set a sign for his fine wines.

Liu Bin followed Zhen Yi away from Zhongshan Kingdom and went to Yecheng to meet Liu Yan. At that time, Yecheng was the largest city in Jizhou, and Jizhou was the richest state in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, with a population of more than 5 million, which was the largest state in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The two of them stayed for ten jars of freshly brewed wine and prepared to present it to Liu Yan. It was not far from Zhongshan to Yecheng, but they also let the two of them walk in a carriage for several days. This traffic situation made Liu Bin speechless. No wonder the information transmission in ancient times was so slow.

Yes. The backward communication method is a reason, and the road condition is probably a big factor. When you are in power, you must repair all these roads. The asphalt road cannot be repaired, but at least you have to build a flat and hard-earned road. Liu Bin thought secretly in his heart. As the saying goes, the butt determines a person's thoughts. Because Liu Bin's butt feels uncomfortable along the way, he needs to build roads. Therefore, in his territory, the roads are well-connected.

Liu Bin and Zhen Yi arrived in Yecheng and submitted a greeting to the prefect's mansion, waiting for Liu Yan's reception. However, Liu Yan was still working at this time. After all, some official documents were piled up just after the New Year. Liu Bin and Zhen Yi were waiting at the door. Zhen Yi knew that Liu Bin did not understand some of the rules of this era, so he told him in front of the door how to salute Liu Yan after a while. Liu Bin also knew that the ancient understanding was quite heavy, so he listened carefully. At this time, a carriage drove from a distance.

A young man who was just in his twentieth year got out of the carriage and was about to enter the prefect's mansion. When he saw Liu Bin and Zhen Yi waiting at the door, he went over to ask. Zhen Yi saw that the young man was either rich or noble, so he quickly told him what he wanted to come to. When the young man heard this, he glanced at Liu Bin and smiled, and said, "So you are the Qianliju of our Liu family that my father mentioned. Haha. I didn't expect you to be so old. Well, it's not embarrassing us in the royal family."

When Liu Bin and Zhen Yi heard this guy was Liu Yan's son? However, Liu Yan had three sons, and the second son was said to have died young. The eldest son should be older than the young man in front of him, so he was the third son Liu Zhang. Sure enough, seeing their confusing expression, Liu Zhang was scared and said to them: "This is the third son of the prefect."

Liu Bin and Zhen Yi quickly saluted. Liu Zhang waved his hand with a smile and said, "Since you are not an outsider, then follow me in. My father is still working now, so you will have to wait here for a long time."

After saying that, he took the lead in entering the prefect's mansion. Zhen Yi and Liu Bin had no choice but to follow him in.

Liu Bin looked at Liu Zhang from behind, and he couldn't tell it. The Liu Zhang in front of him looked a bit charming and free and easy. It seemed different from the one who was a prince in Western Shu, who had a weak personality. Liu Zhang took them into a side hall and waited for Liu Yan. Several people sat down and chatted. However, Liu Bin felt a little painful again. Although Hu tables and chairs had already been introduced to the Central Plains at that time, people still liked to kneel, which made Liu Bin very uncomfortable. There are a few modern people who kneel all day long. This knee is a bit unbearable. Reforms must be reformed in the future. Liu Bin secretly swears. But now he is under someone's roof, so he has to endure it first.

Several people talked in the side hall for half an hour. A middle-aged man in his forties slowly came over. When Liu Zhang saw it, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to my father."

When Zhen Yi and Liu Bin heard this, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to the prefect."

Liu Yan smiled and asked everyone to work hard. Then he looked at Liu Bin, who was only a few years old, and said, "You are Liu Bin. I really didn't expect you to be so young this year. You are really a child. You are really worthy of being the Qianlijiao of my Liu family."

Liu Bin quickly said, "The prefect is so rude. These are what the kid should do."

Seeing Liu Bin's respectful expression, Liu Yandi nodded and praised: "It's rare to be neither arrogant nor impatient at a young age."

Liu Bin said: "You are so ashamed that you dare not be accused of being a good person. You have been adopted by strangers since childhood and do not understand the etiquette of the world. Please forgive me by the prefect."

Liu Yan nodded, signaled everyone to sit down, and then said carelessly: "I heard that you are also a relative of my Han family. I wonder if you have included in the genealogy?"

Zhen Yi quickly took out the genealogy that had been prepared long ago and presented it to Liu Yan, saying, "Sir, the genealogy is here again."

Liu Yan took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's true that I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. Haha. In fact, you are still my nephew. You are the same generation as Ji Yu. Since you and I are not outsiders, then you can call me uncle in the future."

Liu Bin quickly said, "My nephew greets my uncle."

Then he said to Liu Zhang: "I have met my brother."

Leave a message and Liu Zhang very satisfied. The Han clan relatives are a bit worthless now. There have been no talents in recent years. Liu Bin is so kind-hearted that he will definitely achieve great success in the future. They are now trying to win him over, so he will naturally repaid his favor in the future. Liu Bin said again: "My nephew was taken away by Yiren since he was a child and did not know the world. This time he came to pay homage to his uncle, but he had no gifts to bring. He had to stay in some of the ten jars of fine wines made by Yiren when he was following Yiren before. He wanted his uncle to taste it, and he also hoped that his uncle would not blame him."

Liu Yan is more good at wine, so he doesn't mind that Liu Bin didn't bring any gifts. After all, Zhen Yi is here, Zhen Yi must have something to offer. However, now when Liu Bin says there is a fine wine made by Yi Ren, he naturally wants to taste it. Liu Bin's origin, he also sent someone to inquire about it. This kid was taken away by a god. Isn't the wine he mentioned? So he said, "Oh. Is it? Haha. I like fine wine. I want to taste the fine wine of my nephew."

Zhen Yi saw that Liu Yan was so interested, so he was grateful that he could bring someone a jar. This jar of wine was about fifteen pounds, and ten jars were 150 pounds. Liu Yan opened the jar and a smell of a servant filled the entire hall. Liu Yan exclaimed: "By just relying on the fragrance of wine, the peerless wine in Jiucheng."

When the wine in the conversation was clear and there was no impurities, Liu Yan was even more ecstatic. Without waiting for the scare to bring the wine utensils, he put a little wine in a teacup and tasted it.

After Liu Yan tasted the wine, he closed his eyes and didn't say anything for a long time. Liu Bin and Zhen Yi looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Liu Zhang also looked confused. After a while, Liu Yan said, "After drinking this kind of wine, other wines may not be able to be eaten anymore. After the wine is eaten, a sweet and pleasant feeling suddenly spreads all over his body, which is simply wonderful. Wine and peerless wine."

After hearing this, Liu Bin and Zhen Yi felt relieved. As long as Liu Yan was satisfied, it would be fine. When Liu Zhang heard his father say this, he wanted to taste it, so he took a little and tasted it. After drinking it, he also praised: "It's indeed a peerless wine."
