    But it was said that Chen Dao led a thousand soldiers to Huangniu Mountain to suppress the bandits, but he did not want to fall into an ambush by Wang Fen. However, Chen Dao's soldiers were the best among the best. When encountering an ambush, they not only did not panic, but formed a formation to fight back on the spot.  .  Relying on his own bravery, Wang Fen's younger brother challenged Chen Dao to a duel in front of the battle. However, he did not want to fight without a threesome, so Chen Dao shot him off his horse.  Then he picked Wang Wu with a gun and wounded Wang Qi. Seeing that something was not going well, Wang Fen led Wang Qi and some bandits to abscond.  So far, Chen Dao has successfully annihilated these bandits who brought trouble to the people. He not only captured more than a thousand people, but also seized a large number of standard weapons. Under the leadership of the bandits, he recovered the wealth that Wang Dang had accumulated over the years.  After Liu Bei learned of this, he not only issued a sea arrest document in Jizhou to capture Wang Fen, but also reported it to the court, announcing Wang Fen's crimes to all parts of the world.  At this time, Liu Bei was in high spirits, there were no dissident forces in the territory, and he was facing great joy.  After Lu Zhi got Cai Yong's approval, he found Liu Bei and informed him of the matter. Liu Bei was also very pleasantly surprised. He was originally worried about how to please Cai Meimei, but he didn't expect that this good man Lu would settle everything for him.  Just go to the bridal chamber.  "Bei, thank you teacher for being considerate for me." Liu Bei was very happy after hearing this. He quickly stood up and saluted Lu Zhi, saying gratefully.  Seeing Liu Bei so excited, Lu Zhi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Xuande, don't be anxious. Although this matter has been decided, there are still some rules that must be observed." Liu Bei was indeed happy a little early. According to the old etiquette, this  Marriage is divided into three steps, six rituals and so on.  The so-called three letters are the letter of appointment, the letter of gift, and the letter of welcome.  The six rites refer to receiving gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming in person.  Nacai means a proposal of marriage, asking for the name of a woman with the same surname (because there is no marriage), Naji is for divining whether the birth date is suitable, Nazhi is for paying the bride price, asking for a date is for confirming the wedding date, and personal greeting is for welcoming the bride.  There are also several regulations. One is that if a Han clan clan member wants to get married, he or she must report to the court and enter the clan, and it must be approved by the court before it is legal.  The second is that after the princes and nobles have made a marriage arrangement, they have to wait for a while before the marriage can be consummated.  For example, the emperor has to wait at least one year, the princes and princes have to wait at least half a year, the scholar-bureaucrats have to wait at least three months, and the common people have to wait at least one month.  Liu Bei is also a state shepherd and a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he can meet the standards of princes and princes, so he has to wait half a year after the engagement.  "Huh? We still have to wait half a year?" Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh in his heart after listening to Lu Zhi's explanation.  Although Liu Bei thinks so in his heart, Liu Bei comes from later generations, and some habits still depend on later generations. Just like Cai Meimei, although she should be convex and curled, she is only sixteen years old after all.  .  According to the requirements of Liu Bei's later generations, he was still a minor, so it was okay for him to wait.  "Good things come to an end. Xuande can first prepare the letter of appointment, gift letter and other things, and then I will go and issue the letter of appointment for you." Lu Zhi stroked his mustache and said to Liu Bei with a smile.  "Thank you, teacher!" Liu Bei said gratefully.  "By the way, teacher, the student first took charge of Jizhou and reorganized and reduced the army. Now he wants to set up a military school to teach and train talented people in the army, but he has no suitable instructors. The teacher is well-known in the country.  Confucian generals, the students want to ask teachers to come out to teach them, so that they can train more talented generals for my great man." After listening to this, Lu Zhi raised his head and looked at Liu Bei without blinking, not knowing what he was thinking.  After a long time, he slowly said: "Well, let me give it a try." Liu Bei was frightened when Lu Zhi saw him, for fear that the old man would see what he was planning. He was a loyal royalist, and he had other intentions.  , it would be strange if he didn't draw his sword and chop himself.  But fortunately, Liu Bei's city was very deep, and he was good at disguising himself from later generations, so he didn't notice anything, so he agreed immediately.  Lu Zhi stayed for a while and then went back. Before leaving, he said something, asking Liu Bei to quickly prepare the gift letter and so on, so that he could go and apply for the job. He also asked Liu Bei to prepare more. After all, Cai Yong was also from a famous family, so he could not  Losing face to both parties.  Liu Bei sighed and said, "Hey! Brother, I am spending money everywhere now. And I still owe money to the emperor." What?  you do not believe?  Go and ask around. The emperor's price for selling an official position is clearly marked. Even though he was granted the official title by the emperor, he still had to pay, but he only had to pay half the price. Fortunately, the emperor exempted Jizhou from taxes for three years and allowed himself  This can be made up when paying taxes in the fourth year.  But this money should be saved, Liu ??If you think about it, the emperor only has a few years left to live, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until I can pay him taxes.  This is why Liu Bei didn't care at first.  But now the two brothers Gao Qiang and Gao Hu need to use money to build the navy, and they have to prepare gifts themselves. This really costs money everywhere.  At this moment, Guo Jia, who was already looking like a prodigal son, came in with a wine gourd in his hand and poured a few sips into his mouth from time to time.  "My lord, what are you thinking about?" Guo Jia walked in and said with a smile to Liu Bei, who was frowning in deep thought.  "Oh, it's Fengxiao. Come and sit down." Liu Bei looked up and saw that Guo Jia hurriedly asked him to sit down.  "Thank you, Lord." Guo Jia still looked playful and smiling, but Liu Bei was no longer surprised by this.  "Fengxiao, do you think there are other places in Jizhou where we can save money?" Liu Bei had no choice but to ask Guo Jia, who had a lot of devils.  "My lord, isn't Wenruo always in charge of this finance?" Guo Jia said with a smile.  "Wen Ruo is always busy, and I don't want to disturb him." Guo Jia raised the wine gourd again, took another sip, then shook the gourd and said, "My lord, the newly brewed wine tastes good. It has a mellow taste and a rich texture. You can add more."  "Promote it." When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly realized, "Hey, this is what I just made. Although I told Su Shuang and others before, it happened to catch up with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there was not enough food to eat. How could there be any surplus food?"  Make wine.  " Things are different now. The world is stable and the people are living in peace. I used to use Jizhou's money and grain to brew some for Zhang Fei and others to drink. Now I can use this to promote it.  Guo Jia saw Liu Bei's brows gradually unfurling, and knew in his heart that his lord had figured it out. He smiled and said: "My lord, things have been rare and precious since ancient times. My lord, you might as well take the high-end route and strictly control the output. When the time comes,  Such good wine will definitely be sold at a good price. Wouldn¡¯t this be a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure? ¡°That¡¯s right!  Not only did it save food, but it could also be sold at a good price. Think about Wuliangye and Moutai in later generations, which made billions each year.  That is because there are many types of liquor in later generations and the competition is fierce, but I am different now. I have fewer competitors, and I still have such powerful power, so it is much easier to control.  ¡°If you create a brand for these fine wines and sell them exclusively, how much money will you make per year?
