With Huang Zhong's arrival, Wang Ting's thoughts changed greatly. To be honest, his greatest goal was to survive happily in this chaotic world. With the support of martial strength and a thousand years of knowledge, Wang Ting was confident that he was stronger than these ancestors. Confidence was built on the foundation of strength. His initial venture was considered a success. He was not afraid of having a big goal, but he was afraid that it was unrealistic. Wang Ting carefully looked at his current body in front of the bronze mirror. He was 14 years old this year, and he was even more handsome than in his previous life. He was about 160 centimeters tall, but his body was a little weak, probably due to nutritional reasons. This was not the main point. There was a ready-made teacher in front of him. In troubled times, one's own martial strength was also very important. Since one wanted to create a cause, no, in the Three Kingdoms, it should be called pacifying chaos and benefiting the people. No, now it should be called creating a foundation for all ages (of course, this thought could only be thought about in one's heart), but action still had to be taken. Since he had nothing to do now, he would start exercising. In his previous life, when the era of firearms arrived, his reliance on martial arts or martial arts had decreased. However, the popularity of fitness had also played a very good role in promoting and spreading the popularity of martial arts routines. Moreover, Wang Ting's hometown was a rural county in Texas. What kind of place was that? It was close to the hometown of martial arts, Cangzhou. The descendants of Bajiquan, Yang's Taiji Fist, and so on were all nearby. The place where he worked was also the birthplace of Mantis Fist. Although he did not learn the true teachings of his father who loved martial arts when he was a child, he still learned the Tai Chi routine under the wave of the popularity of fitness. Of course, he could not tell whether it was Yang or Wang. Therefore, it would be a waste not to use a ready-made master. Wang Ting brought Wang Tao out for a jog every morning. Wang Tao went hunting in the mountains every day in the village, so he didn't need to exercise at all. Wang Ting mainly wanted to find a training partner, and more importantly, to let Wang Tao, Wang Sheng's elder brother, get used to the living habits of his previous life. After breakfast, he and Wang Tao learned archery and martial arts from Huang Zhong. The shopkeeper of the Mi Family's rice shop, Mi Zhong, was also very kind. He had specially changed to a larger house and added some shooting targets and other tools. Speaking of archery, although he knew that Huang Zhong's broadsword and archery were top-notch in the Three Kingdoms era, he was still a genius. However, he didn't know about it, but once he did, he was shocked. Wang Ting had drawn a three-dimensional human-shaped target on the target, and Huang Zhong was actually able to shoot an arrow according to the outline drawn by Wang Ting. He could shoot wherever he wanted. Other than being surprised, Wang Ting didn't feel anything. However, his elder brother Wang Tao was different. Wang Tao was a hunter who dealt with arrows every day. Other than his good aim, there was no need to say anything else. The difference between skin and fur was the difference between heaven and earth. According to Huang Zhong's assessment, Wang Tao's strength could only be pulled at a maximum of two piculs. However, Huang Zhong's bow required five piculs of strength to be pulled at the maximum. In Wang Tao's private words, hunting tigers was like playing with Brother Huang. This was the difference. Humans were indeed different.
Of course, Wang Ting didn't spend all day learning archery and martial arts from Huang Zhong. At night, he would naturally discuss the current situation and development trends with Huang Zhong. These were Wang Ting's strengths, even though Huang Zhong was also a talented general. After all, the theoretical class was more than 1,000 years behind. Wang Ting could still fool Huang Zhong with his eyes closed, leaving him speechless and even convinced. Of course, Wang Ting was also paying close attention to Huang Xu's matter. Although Huang Xu was young, perhaps because he had inherited Huang Zhong's good genes, he also had foresight that could not be underestimated."Father, do you think we created the fame for the emperor or the people?”Damn, this was a five or six-year-old child. It was inevitable that he had been influenced by Wang Ting's words during this period of time, but his age was obvious. In his previous life, a child this old was probably still nursing milk. Although it was a little exaggerated, he could not ask such a deep question.
With sufficient arrangements, the days passed quickly. Before he knew it, twenty days had passed. Wang Ting's body had undergone some initial changes compared to when he first came to this world. Heh, he just had some muscles now. As for archery, he had a 90% chance of hitting the target. Although he had not reached Wang Tao's standard, his bow was a weak bow that could shoot a stone. It was just that he could shoot from a shorter distance. On the 17th day, the shopkeeper of the rice shop told Wang Ting that someone from the Mei Clan had come from the East Sea and was inviting Young Master Wang Sheng to dinner. The restaurant was set at the best inn in the inner city, Wan Fu Inn. The restaurant and the hotel were one, which meant that they would sleep after eating. " Wan Fu Inn " was an amazing place. In the words of his previous life, it was a government reception hotel. Ordinary people could not enter. Firstly, the price was high. Secondly, officials often went there. In order to facilitate the work, the shopkeeper restricted ordinary people from eating. This also created a high-end marketing strategy in the future. Of course, the boss wasn't as smart as the people of the world a thousand years later to sum up their experiences and gain a deeper understanding.
In the evening, it was around five o'clock in his previous life. Wang Ting was not familiar with the current timing system. Although he had learned it in school, he had not forgotten what he should have forgotten. Under the lead of Mi Zhong, the shopkeeper of the rice shop, Wang Ting and Huang Zhong arrived at the room on the second floor of the Ten Thousand Blessings Inn.
The owner of the room was already seated. The owner was not old, about thirty years old. He had a fair face, a thin beard, and a long face. His clothes were made of silk, and his hair was tied up on his head with a councilor's towel. The host hurriedly stood up when he saw Mi Zhong bringing a guest in. He cupped his fists and said politely,"Greetings, Mi Zhu. It is my honor to meet Young Master Wang and General Huang.”
Mei Zhu, f * ck, this can't be, right? Why did this guy come here personally? Wang Ting had never expected that the head of one of the four great merchants of the Great Han Dynasty would come here personally to discuss matters with him.
"Mister Mo, thank you for coming to meet me.”Wang Ting replied politely.
" Ha, Mi Zhu laughed loudly. However, please forgive me, Young Master. According to my schedule, I should have arrived five days ago. However, after I received Mi Zhong's letter and paper, I immediately arranged for a fast horse to send some samples to the Luoyang branch, including a sample of Young Master's handwriting for Mistress Cai to take a look at. That's why I was late and made Young Master wait for so long. However, there was also good news for Young Master. Young Master's name had become famous overnight. All the great masters in Luoyang praised Young Master's craftsmanship, poetry, and calligraphy. It's my honor to meet you today. Young Master Wang and General Huang, please enter the seats.”
"Mister Mo, you've praised me. How can I be valued by Cai Yong and the others?”
Ah, leisure? Mi Zhu couldn't help but think after hearing this. Your leisure time can startle everyone. That's everyone. The prince is studying but can't enter his door. Your instant fame in Luoyang was made by others in their leisure time. He just didn't know how shocking it would be when he was serious. Wouldn't that be impossible…At this point, Mei Zhu didn't know how to continue being humble. Actually, he wasn't being humble. The truth was true, and he could only go beyond it.
"Please take your seats. Young Master, General Huang, please take your seats quickly, lest you become a laughing stock.”
Wang Ting and Huang Zhong followed Mi Zhong's arrangements and sat below Mi Zhu. The room service lady (Ha, should be called a maid, but for convenience's sake, I'll just call it a modern name) poured everyone a glass of fine wine. Only then did Wang Ting notice that there was an extremely beautiful girl of twelve or thirteen years old standing behind Mei Zhu, quietly watching him. The girl was wearing a light yellow gauze dress and had long hair on her temples. The sideburns were a lock of hair or a bunch of curly hair hanging in front of the ears. The sideburns were the areas on both sides of the head, behind the eyes and forehead, above the cheekbones, and in front of the ears. People often kept the sideburns in a bun. Most of them were the hairstyle of unmarried girls. They split the hair into strands and tied it on the top of the head. They did not need to support it, so that it hung down naturally. They tied the tail and hung on the shoulders, also known as the swallow tail. According to the records of the National Constitution and Family Planning, Emperor Ming of Han ordered the palace maids to comb their hair into a bun of flowers.）。Her appearance was sweet and natural, and when she smiled, dimples would appear on her cheeks. Wang Ting was taken aback. He naturally couldn't pay attention to the beauty for too long to prevent Mi Zhu from underestimating her. He thought to himself, Could this be the legendary Madam Mi who married Liu Bei?
The wine was good, but it wasn't worth mentioning in Wang Ting's eyes. The dishes were also much more exquisite and expensive than the natural farmer's banquet that Mi Zhong had invited at the beginning. In the official history, Mi Zhu followed Liu Bei to serve as Zhonglang and Anhan General, mostly responsible for logistics and other work. His literary talent and knowledge were not comparable to ordinary scholars. The few of them chatted happily and unknowingly drank more than ten catties of white wine each (according to the alcohol content, it was equivalent to about ten bottles of beer).
"Young Master Wang, I received the calligraphy and ink treasure Mi Zhong gave me. Compared to Zhang Zhi and I, each of them has their own merits. I wonder if I can present the treasure again. I asked Mi Zhong to specially prepare a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.”(Zhang Zhi, born in an unknown year, died about the third year of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty (about 192 A.D.). He was born in Yuanquan Town, Guazhou County, Jiuquan City, Dunhuang (now the old city of Sidaogou, Guazhou County, Jiuquan City, Gansu Province). His word was Boying. He is diligent in learning, good at ancient things, and indifferent to official career. The court did not accept the appointment because of Tao. At that time, people called him "Zhang Youdao". He was good at Zhang Cao. Later, he got rid of his old habits and omitted Zhang Cao, Dianhua and Bo Jie to become "Jincao". Zhang Huaiguan listed Zhang Cao and cursive script as divine products in the volume of Shu Duan, saying: "He is especially good at Zhang Cao Shu and gave birth to Du Du and Cui Ai. Dragon Leopard Transformation, the student surpassed the master. He was also created in today's grass, which is very clever and extraordinary. He is very open-minded and does not regret the mistakes of things. Like a clear stream, flowing endlessly, lingering in the valley, allowing fate to take its course. He said that he had learned from Cui (Yuan) and Du (Cao)'s methods and changed them accordingly to form the present grass and turn it into a wonderful one. The body of the word is formed in one stroke. Occasionally, it is not connected, but the blood vessels are continuous. When it is connected, the blood vessels are connected to the separated lines."Wei Dan, the Wei calligrapher of the Three Kingdoms, called him the" Grass Saint." As someone who had practiced calligraphy in his previous life, Wang Ting naturally knew this person very well. Unfortunately, there was no calligraphy in the future.）
"Ha, Big Brother Mi, you don't have to be so polite. Now that we're truly friends, there's no need for you to be so polite. Alright, I'll do as you say. I'll make a fool of myself.”
After dipping his brush and ink, Wang Ting came to the prepared table. After pondering for a moment, he immediately wrote down in one go the ancient ((Crossing Lingdingyang)):"I've suffered a lot, and the stars around me are scattered. The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind is floating, and the life experience is floating in the rain. Fear beachhead said fear, lonely people sigh lonely people in the ocean. Since ancient times, who has not died? Leave a loyal heart to shine on history.”
"Good poem, good poem. Not only do I have such talent, but I also care about the rise and fall of the country. Great talent, oh great talent, I'm here to pay my respects to Young Master Wang Sheng again.”It wasn't just Mei Zhu who was like this. Huang Zhong also paid more attention and respect to Wang Ting. If he had only followed Wang Ting temporarily because he had done him a favor, now that Wang Sheng was so magnanimous, it wasn't as simple as gratitude. The little girl standing behind Mi Zhu also looked at Wang Ting with sparkling eyes. She didn't know how to feel. The young master opposite her, who was on par with her, was actually so talented and open-minded. How could she not remember him in the deepest corner of her heart?
"Brother Wang Sheng, may I know what plans you have in the future?”
"Elder brother, thank you for your favor. I'll be speaking nonsense here, please don't blame me. In today's troubled times, the emperor has no way and believes in villains to harm the people. I think the world will soon be in chaos. Although my strength is weak, I am still a Han citizen. My clan is also on the shore of the Han Dynasty's emperor. I can't help but think for my survival and the survival of the Han Dynasty's people. I am willing to die and die for the people to leave my wisdom for future generations.”
"Brother, be careful with your words!" Mei Zhu hurriedly stopped Wang Ting from continuing his lies and gave Mei Zhong a look. Mi Zhong understood and quickly asked the maid to go out to check if there were any idle people at the door.
"Brother, I'm drunk. Why don't we go to the guest room at the back and have some tea?”Mei Zhu looked at Wang Ting and said.
"This is what I want. Younger Brother is not very drunk, but he had a good chat with Eldest Brother, so he drank more.”
Mi Zhong had already arranged a quiet guest room in the backyard of the inn. After Mi Zhu, Wang Ting, Huang Zhong, and the others came to the guest room and sat down, Mi Zhu stood up and cupped his fists."Although I am not talented, my family has a small amount of money. I am willing to follow my brother to create an eternal foundation.”
Ah, he had wanted to trick Mi Zhu into working with him to earn money, but he had not expected that he would be tricked so badly. Not only did he work with him, but he had also poached Liu Bei's uncle's interests. Wang Ting didn't dare to be negligent. He stood up and helped Mi Zhu up."If big brother can join, how can this brother dare to hope? This brother will definitely not let big brother down and create a great cause together!”
"Brother Wang, Huang Zhong is also willing to serve you as Lord with Mister Mi.”Before Mei Zhu could stand up straight, Huang Zhong cupped his fists and bowed.
"We are willing to serve the lord." After that, Mi Zhu, Huang Zhong, Mi Zhong, and the beautiful and unknown sister said together.
"How can I, Wang Sheng, be valued by all of you? Since that's the case, I hereby swear that I will not let down all of you.”
There was no need to say anything else. Wang Ting had a detailed understanding of the distribution and management of the Mi Family's businesses. As a major merchant at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Mi family had almost everything in their business. Of course, their focus was still on the sale of rice, salt, and horses in the Western Regions. Wang Ting and Mi Zhu no longer had any profit sharing. The sale of the paper was completely under the control of the Mi family. After discussing with Mi Zhu and Huang Zhong, Wang Ting decided to use the existing commercial network for other unknown purposes. In modern terms, the main function was to collect intelligence and pay attention to key figures, especially the literati that Wang Ting knew: Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Jian Yong, Lu Su, He Shao, Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Sima Yi, etc. The generals were as follows: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the others might still be children like Zhuge Liang, but as the Wang Ting from his previous life, it was better to act sooner rather than later. In order to maximize the amount of money, Wang Sheng asked Mi Zhu to first choose a suitable place to open a restaurant in Hanshou. The service staff would be personally selected by Wang Ting. Wang Ting was prepared to distill the high-alcohol white wine he drank in his previous life, and of course, there were also methods such as stir-frying in the future. At the same time, he asked Mi Zhu to take in as many people as possible who were skilled in crafts, especially in smelting, shipbuilding, construction, and so on.
"I laughed complacently, and laughed complacently again. I laughed at the fact that people in the world of mortals don't age and treat wine as a pure mirror. I smiled proudly, and smiled proudly again, seeking a lifetime of happiness.”Wang Ting fell asleep while singing happily.
In his dream, he realized that he had drawn a map for the first time in the other world. Was it related to the girl he saw today? He really didn't know.
