I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

"It's not insufficient, but very insufficient." Mi Zhu said with a wry smile on his face.

Although Liu Bei used to be the governor of Xuzhou, Mi Zhu also supported Liu Bei with his family and helped Liu Bei to flourish.But Liu Bei is very lavish.

No, it's not considered extravagant.Recruiting soldiers and buying horses requires money, and attracting nobles and guests all need money.Regardless of how frustrated Liu Bei is now, when he was in Xuzhou, there were a lot of guests.

Expenses are like water.Moreover, Xuzhou was taken away by Lu Bu later, and Liu Bei failed to bring out the extra property at all.Most of the little money on his body was obtained from Xiaopei, and a little bit was rewarded by Cao Cao.

After arriving in Xudu, Liu Bei had more people under his command.He, his brother and his family.Jian Yong's family, Sun Qian, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei's own family.

Expenses for so many people.Coupled with the deep trap in Xudu, Liu Bei was also afraid that the only remaining guards around him would leave.Therefore, the guards are treated well.

The poorer they are, the faster they spend money.

In a word, no money.This is still the result of Mi Zhu's management. Without Mi Zhu, Liu Bei might not even be able to afford food.

With a wry smile, Mi Zhu told Liu Bei about the financial situation of the mansion.Mi Zhu never told Liu Bei about this kind of thing, because he knew that Liu Bei was already worried enough.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong all knew how to run a family. When Mi Zhu said that the government's financial situation was so poor, they all gasped.

"No money? Then how can I bribe?" Zhang Fei said with a bitter face. This peerless general on the battlefield, even in front of thousands of troops, probably wouldn't change his face, but he was stumped by the situation in front of him. .

"Zi Zhong?" Liu Bei was also stumped, and turned his head to ask Mi Zhu in great pain.

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice." Mi Zhu said with a wry smile. Even when he was in Xuzhou, his family had a big business and a lot of capital, but it would take a while to start a business.

What's more, he is also poor now.And in the place of Xudu, I'm not familiar with the place.

"How should this be?"

It seems that there is really a dead end in front of Liu Bei's forces.

Volume 14, Section 112: Chapter 56 Liu Bei sells iron in a pot (1)

Chapter 56

"The current plan is to sell it."

After everyone was silent for a long time, Sun Qian sighed and said.Although he doesn't know how to do business, Sun Qian still has quick wits about how to deal with the current difficulties.

Although there is no money, but there are items.

"Yes, what's left in the mansion?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he asked Mi Zhu.

"A maid, a World War II horse, three armors, four weapons, and some silk." Mi Zhu said with a wry smile.

"This." The crowd once again showed embarrassment. The maid is okay, but Liu Bei has never cared about women, so he sold some of them as soon as he sold them.But the problem is that Liu Bei also knows that there are not many maids in the mansion anymore.You can't sell them all, let the wives do the rough work, right?

Horses, armor, weapons, not to mention.This is the life of the general. As for the silk and satin, I am afraid there is not much left.

"Sell all the silk and satin. What do you say about horses, armor, and weapons?" After thinking for a while, Liu Bei raised his head and said to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Dao.

In fact, as General Zuo, Liu Bei would definitely be ridiculed if he sold these things.He will definitely not be able to hold his head up and be a man, but at this time, Liu Bei can't control much anymore.

Keeping Mi Zhu first is the right thing to do.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Dao all showed embarrassment on their faces, how could they sell something that was worth their lives.But in the end, Guan Yu still said: "Actually, armor, war horses, and weapons can be obtained again after they are gone. As long as you leave Xudu, relying on the prestige of the eldest brother in the world, it is not easy to get it? But Mr. Mi Zhu is unique. of."

What Guan Yu said was extremely skillful.Even these beloved things are not as good as Mr. Mi Zhu.That's what it means.

A trace of gratitude appeared on Mi Zhu's face.

"Yes." Zhang Fei and Chen Dao also knew the general situation very well, and they nodded upon hearing the words.

"Okay, let's take out the armor and some of the horses and sell them." Seeing that Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Chen Dao had no objections, and Liu Bei had no objections even more, he nodded.

But Liu Bei also has certain reservations, after all, war horses are also means of transportation.You can sell the excess, but you can't use less.As for weapons, they couldn't even sell them.

As for weapons, they cannot be sold.Armor can be remade, but weapons cannot be made exactly the same.

"Zi Zhong, I will leave this matter to you." After agreeing with Guan Yu and others, Liu Bei turned his head and said to Mi Zhu.

"Promise." With gratitude, Mi Zhu agreed, and immediately walked out with Chen Dao.Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei's armor and war horses were all handed over to Chen Dao for maintenance.

"I hope that the crown prince can let me go." Mi Zhu, after Chen Dao left, Liu Bei said helplessly.Even when he was on the battlefield, he could regain his strength even after losing consecutive battles, but facing that eight-year-old child really exhausted Liu Bei's mind and body.

"My lord, it will take some time for Zizhong to sell his armor to bribe the prince, and Chen Guang is still waiting outside the door. Let me talk to him."

At this moment, Sun Qian said.

"Yeah." Of course Liu Bei had no objection and nodded.

Immediately, Sun Qian got up and walked out.

"Brother, let's think about how to get out. This place in Xudu is too boring." After a long silence, Zhang Fei said.

Volume 15, Section 113: Chapter 56 Liu Bei sells iron in a pot (2)

"It still takes a little time." Liu Bei agrees with this point, but he really has no good solution at the moment.need to wait.

"Hey." Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Guan Yu and others all sighed.When will the opportunity appear, and how long will they stay in this nightmarish Xudu.

……

Outside General Zuo's gate, Chen Guang was sitting in the carriage, waiting for Mi Zhu's family to appear.

He couldn't imagine what kind of tricks Liu Bei and others would play, so Chen Guang's face was quite relaxed at the moment.

"General Left."

From time to time, he raised his head to look at the plaque of "Left General's Mansion" hanging on the door, and Chen Guang showed disdain.If you dare to go against the emperor, even General Zuo and Uncle Huang are traitors.

"Meet the angel." At this time, Sun Qian came out from the inside and respectfully greeted him.

"Why are you? Where is Mr. Zizhong?" Chen Guang asked with a look of surprise on his face.

"Angel, Zizhong's family, including younger brother Mi Fang, has a lot of family members, and it will take a certain amount of time to move." Sun Gan said respectfully, with good reasons.

However, Chen Guang saw that Sun Qian seemed to be suspected of delaying time.Ben was furious, but remembered that Mi Zhu was also Liu Xie, a figure that Liu Feng and his son valued, so An Nai calmed down the anger in her heart, nodded and said: "Hurry up, I have to report to the emperor."

"No." Seeing this, Sun Qian was overjoyed and promised.

On one side, Sun Qian calmed down Chen Guang temporarily, on the other side, Mi Zhu got ten strong horses and five sets of armor from Chen Dao.

The armor belonged to Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and others, among whom Liu Bei had two sets.As for the war horses, they belonged to scouts and spies.

In the end, the horses were led by several soldiers, and the armor was loaded into the carriage.

Looking at the short-supplied war horses and his own armor, Chen Dao sighed with a look of inappropriateness on his face.
