Chapter 36 Reciprocity

The next morning, after eating too early, Liu Yi said goodbye to Cui Zhouping and took Deng and his son to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage to visit.

"Brother Liu is gone and returned, but why?" The boy welcomed Liu Yi and the other two into the study. Meeting guests in this study was also a manifestation of closeness.

"Brother Kong Ming really doesn't know?" Liu Yi raised his head, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said with a wry smile. Even Cui Zhouping knew that he had been on the court's wanted list. How could Zhuge Liang not know about the two families now being so close?

Zhuge Liang smiled without saying a word, just looked at Liu Yi and silently picked up the tea soup on the table.

"I met Uncle Liu yesterday and told Zhou Ping that you are about to become an official. I have not congratulated Kong Ming yet." Liu Yi bowed to Zhuge Liang and smiled.

"With Brother Liu's ability, if he can help Ming Gong with me, why should he be afraid of Cao Cao?" Zhuge Liang put down the tea soup, looked at Liu Yi, and said seriously: "This time Brother Liu went to Xuchang, but he turned back halfway. Isn't this God's will?"

Liu Yi rubbed his temples and looked at Zhuge Liang and smiled: "Uncle Liu is well-founded, and now he can get the help of Kong Ming, and he does look like he can soar. After returning this time, he also has the same intention. But even if I go to the Uncle, I will uselessness."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang nodded silently. Liu Bei had only two thousand soldiers, and generals were only Guan Zhang and Zhao, let alone strategists. Even if he really visited the cottage three times, he was probably the only one who could be considered a strategist. This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang avoided Liu Bei twice.

The first time, I really looked down on it, but this time, I had the intention of taking the teaching exam. If Liu Bei was really willing to invite him again and again, it would mean that Liu Bei was indeed qualified to be worthy of his assistance. He was thick-skinned and was definitely not a political disadvantage. If you have no one, no money, and you are still arrogant and have an airs, then you will never be able to achieve anything in your life.

Although he chose to avoid this time, Zhuge Liang has now begun to consider how Liu Bei develops. This time, he sent an invitation to Liu Yi to prepare talents for Liu Bei, because among the princes in the world today, Liu Bei is the one who needs talents the most. Is Liu Yi a talent?

Surely so.

Zhuge Liang himself was not opposed to the mechanism and carpentry techniques, otherwise he would not have made friends with Liu Yi. What Liu Yi made was enough to prove his value. What's more, judging from Zhuge Liang's feelings about dating Liu Yi during this period, Liu Yi was not just a simple craftsman. He also had a strong overall view and had a similar judgment on the future trend of the world.

"Then I wonder where Brother Liu is going?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

"If the Cao army goes south in Jiangxia or Jiangling, I am afraid that Xiangyang will not be able to defend it. Recently, I took on a business and I plan to help people build a city." Liu Yi thought for a while and said that in history, Liu Cong surrendered, and even most counties in Jingxiang land had surrendered Cao Cao. If it weren't for the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao would have such a strong advantage, even if he could not defeat Jiangdong on the water, it would be fine to defend the Jingxiang land. Unfortunately, there was no if in history, Cao Cao was a little anxious this time.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his smile became even worse. He nodded and said, "Brother Liu might as well go to Jiangxia. Here we connect to Wuyue in the east and Xiangyang in the west. If there is any need in the future, Liang will write to Brother Liu."

"It may not be possible to help." Liu Yi nodded, but he did not guarantee that he could still know how much he had, and he was not going to run with Liu Paopao. He was really the emperor who could run away wherever he went, but he might not be able to do so.

"Just just need Brother Liu to help create some utensils, so you won't let Brother Liu take risks." Zhuge Liang said a little funny.

"This is not difficult. After I build the city, I will send someone to notify Kong Ming. What needs Kong Ming must do then? Just come and find me!" Liu Yi's eyes lit up. In this way, he would really take the Liu Bei line. If Liu Bei could come to find him in the future, whether he made weapons, built bridges and roads, or even built a city, he would not have to worry about his skills and experience. After Liu Bei stabilized in the future, wouldn't he have a lot of money?

This is also the reason why Liu Yi wanted to hug Liu Bei's thighs. Boss Cao's thighs could not be hugged, but Boss Liu's thighs now seem to be quite promising. Then, next, it is to choose a fixed foundation for himself.

"Kong Ming, I heard that the prefect of Jiangxia is from the Huang clan. I want to find a place in Jiangxia and set up a city. I think the craftsman's house will be in the future. I wonder if Kong Ming can help me clear it up?" Since we want to cooperate, Liu Bei must have no money now. It is unrealistic for Liu Yi to get benefits from Liu Bei in the future. It can only be considered an investment. However, before that, Zhuge Liang asked his network to use his relationship network to allow himself to obtain a legal territory in Jiangxia to settle Lu Lingqi and his party. It is not difficult for Zhuge Liang to do this little busy.

Although Zhuge Liang, a man from Longzhong, called himself a commoner and farmed in Nanyang, in fact, although Zhuge Liang also farmed, he was in order to cultivate his sentiment and distinguish the weather. Most of the land in Wolonggang was from Zhuge's family, and Zhuge Liang personally planted it, less than half acre. As for the commoner, it was nonsense. Although he did not become an official in Liu Biao, Zhuge Liang's connections in Jingzhou were really not low. His eldest brother-in-law was a prominent family in Jingzhou, and his second brother-in-law Pang Shanmin was the son of Pang Degong, and he was a famous scholar in Jingxiang.

Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying is the daughter of the Huang clan of Jingxiang. The prefect of Jiangxia, Huang Zu, had to call him uncle or something. With just these connections, plus the recommendations of Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Degong, if you really want to become an official, your starting point will be good.

Now Liu Yi has only Zhuge Liang's connections. Now that he has exchanges of interests, he naturally has to seek some benefits. Liu Bei has no money, but there are many rich people in Jingzhou, and there are some opportunities to make money. Now he has to make a name out first.

Zhuge Liang nodded when he heard this, just a piece of land and gave him a title. It was really not difficult for him. He immediately said, "I will just write a letter, and Brother Liu will visit you."

For Liu Yi, it was quite a difficult problem. When it came to Zhuge Liang, it was just a letter, and there was no need to deliberately go to the gang. Sure enough, no matter what era, if you want to do things, your connections cannot be avoided.

"There is another private matter." Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "This time I went north, I met a young man with a very spiritual stuttering, but he was talented and had the desire to learn. He couldn't bear to bury his talent, so he brought it back together. I wonder if Kong Ming was willing to accept disciples?"

"Accepting disciples?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi strangely, unconsciously picked up the feather fan on the table and shook it gently: "Can Liang see you?"

"Deng Ai, come in." Liu Yi nodded and shouted outside the door after hearing this.

Deng’s mother and Deng Ai, who had been waiting outside the door, quickly pushed the door open and entered.

Zhuge Liang looked at Deng Ai, but Deng Ai was not afraid of life. He bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "I have met sir."

"Sister-in-law, this is what I call Zhuge Kongming. He is praised by Mr. Pang De and Mr. Shui Jing as a man of lying dragons. He has the talent of conquering the world." Liu Yi reached out and introduced him to Deng's mother.

When Deng's mother heard this, she also bowed to Zhuge Liang.

"Madam, don't be polite." Zhuge Liang stood up, holding a feather fan, and looked at Deng Ai. Although Deng Ai's family is not very good, he is a clan after all. He has a sufficient study environment since childhood and has experienced a lot, and is quite mature. Zhuge Liang looked at Deng Ai carefully for a moment and nodded and said, "Do you dare to ask Mrs., is he a gentry?"

"The deceased husband is the Deng family in Xinye." Deng's mother bowed and bowed.

"Deng?" Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled, "No wonder."
