Chapter 388
Wei Ba was originally a little suspicious of Guan Feng's suggestion. After listening to Li Zhuan's analysis, he knew that he might have been deceived by Guan Feng. This matter could not have any positive effect other than arousing Zhuge Liang's suspicion. But he felt strange that even if Guan Feng wanted him to confront Zhuge Liang, he wouldn't use such a simple method to trick him, right?
Wei Ba accepted Li Zhuan's suggestion, gave up the idea of recruiting troops from these refugees, and decided to switch to short-term employment to solve the temporary labor shortage in the village.
Li Zhuan went back to prepare to move, and Wei Ba took his younger brothers and sisters home who had a great meal. After a long day of getting to know each other and communicating with Li Zhuan, he had a better understanding of the situation in Chengdu. The situation was far better than his It is estimated to be serious. If nothing else, the current currency system in Chengdu is in chaos and the economic situation is worrying. If most economic entities were not controlled by the government, I am afraid the market would have been in chaos long ago.
Chengdu used to use the five-baht coin of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei entered Shu and divided the spoils wantonly. He divided almost all the money and seriously disrupted Chengdu's economy. Those who had received heavy rewards could not spend them all at once, most of them Money stored in the warehouse became dead money, but there was a large shortage of money in the market, causing prices to skyrocket. Later, Liu Ba came up with a plan to cast hundreds of dollars, which solved the urgent need, but left serious sequelae, which was a further reduction. The five-baht coins on the market, and because the face value of the hundred coins far exceeded the value of the coins themselves, crazy counterfeiting activities arose.
Minting money is not complicated, and it is far less demanding than printing RMB in later generations. You can imagine what would happen if the difficulty of printing counterfeit banknotes was very low. Counterfeit banknotes would definitely fly everywhere, eventually causing market paralysis.
When hundreds of dollars of money were quickly used by no one, everyone would rather barter than use such a large amount of money that was not known to be true or false. Later, Liu Bei minted the Chuanxiang Five Baht, which is similar to the Five Baht coin. Chuan The shape of five baht is not as exaggerated as a hundred coins, but the weight is not enough. In fact, it is only four baht or even less. It is still profitable for the pirates.
These are all problems left over from the Liu Bei era. To put it bluntly, whether it is a hundred dollars or five baht, it is a robbery by the government, just like the US imperialism robbing the whole world by printing dollars. When Liu Bei was in the most difficult time, In the past, even the common people's copper tent hooks were confiscated and used to convert copper into coins. In the last years of Liu Bei, especially after the tragic defeat of Yiling, the economy of Shu was on the verge of collapse.
After Zhuge Liang's efforts over the years, the situation has improved, but it is still not optimistic. A large number of five baht worth of money are hidden in private homes, and what is circulating on the market is small money and fake money that is not enough. The economy is certainly not much better. What's more, under such circumstances, Zhuge Liang still had to prepare for war, and one had to admire his courage. Similarly, under such circumstances, Chengdu was not in chaos, and one had to admire his methods.
Not only did Wei Ba admire him, but even Xia Houhui was silent for a long time after hearing what Wei Ba said. Finally, he said: "Fortunately, he is also a human and not a god. He is a human and will eventually die."
Wei Ba couldn't help laughing: "Why, as smart as you are, you can only hope that he will die soon?"
Xia Houhui smiled bitterly and said: "How dare I compete with him? Even the Guan family sisters, I can't figure it out."
After hearing this, Wei Ba was a little confused. He couldn't figure out which song Guan Feng was singing, pointed out a big problem, and then gave him a wrong solution. What on earth did she want to do? When he thought of Guan Feng, Wei Ba
He couldn't help but think of the scene where she was hanging upside down from the golden hook, and the faint warm fragrance seemed to be lingering in his nose again. But it didn't last long, and he was awakened from his reverie by a stinging pain in his crotch.
"Oh, hey, please be gentle." Wei Ba said in pain, bending his waist and covering his little penis that had just been attacked.
Xia Houhui covered his mouth in surprise and asked with concern: "Husband, husband, did I hurt you?"
"You're too hasty." Wei Ba said with a smile on his face, "As for using so much force? This thing is also made of flesh, not made of iron."
"I...I didn't use any force." Xia Houhui couldn't laugh or cry: "I...I just touched it lightly, why did you..."
Only then did Wei Ba remember that this was not because Xia Houhui used too much force, but because Xiao Ding was injured. He suddenly fainted and looked around: "I'm a little tired after running all day today. I'll be back tomorrow."
You have to report to the palace, so take a rest early."
Xia Houhui looked at the guilty Wei Ba and suddenly became suspicious, but she didn't say anything and asked someone to fetch water. She first waited on Wei Ba to take a bath and went to bed, then she washed herself, got into the bed, and lay on Wei Ba's side.
Next to him, he held his chin and looked at Wei Ba motionlessly. Wei Ba wanted to pretend to be asleep, but he failed to pretend, so he had to open his eyes and asked pretending to be confused: "Yuanrong, what's wrong?"
"I was wondering if your husband has anything else to say."
"Me? It's okay." Wei Ba quickly turned around and laughed twice: "Go to sleep. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Xia Houhui sighed faintly: "Husband, I am also lucky to be favored by you and have the care of my mother. She does not treat me as a concubine. However, I have self-knowledge and know that a concubine is a concubine and cannot become a wife after all.
If you really like Sister Guan, it might not be a bad thing to marry her into your family. She and I are also in love, and it is easier to get along with her than a stranger."
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, turned around, and looked at Xia Houhui: "What... did you see?"
Xia Houhui lowered his head: "If I still can't see it at all, wouldn't I be too stupid?"
Wei Ba pouted and did not dare to ask any more questions. He just explained feebly: "It's not what you think. We are just... just competing in martial arts."
"What do I think?" Xia Houhui's eyes flashed and his lips pursed slightly.
"I..." Wei Ba was so embarrassed that he simply turned over and sat up: "Okay, don't think about it too much. You don't know what the Guan family sisters and brothers are planning? If nothing else, she gave me this today
The idea is obviously a trap."
Xia Houhui frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then shook his head. "I don't think so. Although the Guan sister is not a very smart person, she can't do such a stupid thing. I think she may have ulterior motives.
, it’s just that we haven’t guessed it yet.”
"An ulterior motive? You can't even guess the motive. This is too deep."
"I'm not a worm in her belly. How can I know everything?" Xia Houhui sat up, held his chin in thought, and finally said: "In my opinion, you'd better ask her directly. Since she took the initiative to come to you, she must be
There are some ways. No matter whether this method works or not, there is no harm in hearing it."
Wei Ba frowned: "Now? Is it too late?"
"Who told you to do this now?" Xia Houhui angrily turned over and lay down, with his back to Wei Ba: "Are you too impatient?"
Wei Ba choked, sighed, and lay down again. He had been bored in the palace for four days, and would go to the palace to study again tomorrow. He wanted to enjoy Xia Houhui's tenderness tonight, but he didn't expect to meet him.
This incident not only made Xiao Ding suffer a heavy blow from Guan Feng and made him unable to fight, it also aroused Xia Houhui's suspicion. He felt so depressed that he couldn't help but sigh.
Xia Houhui didn't move. Just when Wei Ba himself felt bored, she slowly turned around and stared at Wei Ba with a pair of wonderful eyes, shining mischievously in the darkness.
"What are you thinking about?"
"nothing."
"Hmph, what are you thinking about? How can I know?" Xia Houhui put his hand on Wei Ba's chest, pushed aside his clothes, and slowly slid down: "You will enter the palace again tomorrow morning, and now you
Can you sleep?"
Wei Ba smiled bitterly and held Xia Houhui's hand: "Yuanrong, no."
Xia Houhui's face froze, a little embarrassed. She sacrificed her dignity and took the initiative to seduce Wei Ba, but was rejected by Wei Ba. This was too unacceptable. She slowly retracted her hand and her voice trembled: "Husband,
Are you annoyed with me?"
"I'm not annoying you." Wei Ba pulled her hand to her lower abdomen and pressed it on her hot and firm vagina: "Look, I also want to, but I can't."
"Why?" Xia Houhui became even more nervous. "Could it be that my husband is thinking..."
"What are you thinking about?" Wei Ba didn't know how to explain it, so he had to confess honestly and be lenient: "I'm injured and can't fight."
"Injured?" Xia Houhui was startled. He turned over and sat up. He unzipped Wei Ba's pants without any explanation. He took a look under the light and couldn't help but take a breath. After a while, he said: "Sister Guan is indeed a martial arts practitioner."
, this force... is too much."
Wei Ba was completely speechless. This was yellow mud that fell into his crotch. It was either feces or feces.
…
Guan Xing quickly walked into the backyard and was startled when he saw Guan Feng, who was wearing a white short coat and crossing his hands in the hall.
"Sister, what are you doing? Are you fooling around and looking for ghosts?"
Guan Feng rolled her eyes at him: "What do you know? This is Wei Ba's most proud cloud hand. I just learned it. I need to practice more to make progress."
"Cloud hand?" Guan Xing laughed: "I have seen this before, and I can make a few gestures. But this thing has no use other than activating the blood. Isn't it too early for my sister to practice this?"
"To call you an idiot is to insult the word idiot." Guan Feng crossed his hands and snorted contemptuously: "You don't understand this. If you have any problem, just say it. After you finish speaking, get out of here.
Don’t interfere with my boxing practice.”
Guan Xing pinched his nose: "Sister, when you go to find Wei Ba, aren't you just trying to learn Yun Shou and forgetting the real thing?"
Guan Feng was stunned for a moment, stopped, and shook his head: "How could I have forgotten the important matter? He has been in Jiajiang City today to learn about the situation, and I just received the news that Li Zhuan has vacated the house and the family has moved to
The Wei family has gone."
Guan Xing nodded and thought for a while: "Sister said, will he do what we say?"
Guan Feng smiled silently: "If this is the case, then it can only be said that we are all blind."
"Then will he accept our terms?"
"If you accept it, of course it's better. If you don't accept it, let him fend for himself. As for us..." Guan Feng paused and sighed: "Just wait honestly, it's up to people to make things happen. In heaven, if God doesn't give us a chance, what can we do?"
