please make me king

Chapter 870
After Li Sanniang took Lu Shi over, Zhang Shun personally chose a house for them. In this way, Lu Xiangsheng's family of four lived in the palace.

Zhang Shun was not in a hurry to look for Lu Xiangsheng in the prison, as there was a saying, "Long line, catch big fish".

Threatening people to surrender with their family members is the next best thing to do.

If you meet someone with a strong temper, it's really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either shit or shit.

Aren't you Lu Xiangsheng loyal?Then I won't recruit you first, I will recruit your family first, and see what you say!
As for Hong Chengchou's method of recruiting and surrendering, Zhang Shun also planned to do the same.

He also dispatched people to Quanzhou, Fujian, and traveled thousands of miles to earn his family.

Although this guy was a traitor in history, he hated the peasant army extremely, and Zhang Shun was not sure about recruiting him now.

Rather than kill with a blunt knife.Let's use water first to recruit these two people to surrender.

The matter was settled like this, and Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and others just stayed like this.

Li Sanniang knew Zhang Shun's heart, and brought her children to visit from time to time.

Later, Hong Niangzi, Ma Yingniang, Li Xiang and others found out about it, and they also came to visit one after another, making the old lady Lu very envious.

When there was no one around, she couldn't help but took Mrs. Lu's hand and said, "Tell me the truth, is my place okay?"

"How come everyone has three wives and four concubines, but it's not easy for women to come to him?"

"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about!" Mrs. Lu blushed suddenly with embarrassment, she couldn't help shivering, and after a while she responded like a mosquito, "It's either impossible, or... there are not many throughout the year."

"I see that King Shun's wives and concubines are in groups, and he has many sons and more blessings. There must be some way!" Mrs. Lu couldn't help muttering, "Later, Mrs. Li is here. No!"

"Where did I ask this!" Mrs. Lu couldn't help being embarrassed.

"If you don't ask, I'll ask! What's so embarrassing about that?" Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Let my son and King Shun walk around a lot later, maybe he will also be infected with this lustful problem. When the time comes, you two will have a baby." Big fat boy, I don’t need to worry about this old woman!”

"Mother-in-law!" Mrs. Lu couldn't stand it anymore, she couldn't help but hide her face and run away.

It is said that ever since Mrs. Lu made up the policy of "my son" moving more and more with King Shun, two young offspring, Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan, became her test subjects.

Thus, Zhang Shun somehow discovered that Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan had become his "little tails".

These two people are knowledgeable, and they are talented in wielding knives and guns. Zhang Shun originally intended to recruit them, so he kept these two people by his side.

Nalu Xiangjin, whose name is Jinhou, is now twenty-five or sixteen years old.Although he is not as good at reading as his younger brother Lu Xiangguan, he is good at martial arts.

As for Lu Xiangguan, he has not reached the championship yet, and his martial arts are not as good as his brother's, but at the age of fifteen, he took the first place in the college entrance examination, and he can be called an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

These two people followed Zhang Shun for the first time, and they were quite proud.In the end, he was dealt with twice by Wukong and Wang Jinyi, so he became more honest.

This doesn't talk about Zhang Shun's plan, let's say that since the merchant Cheng Jia left Luoyang, he traveled all the way to Yuzhou City, and then took a boat down the Shaying River, Huai River, and Yangtze River to reach the city of Yuzhou. yangzhou.

Then, without stopping, he went directly to meet his nephew and mentor Cheng Dagong.

"What kind of man is King Shun?" Cheng Dagong asked directly when the two met.

"See the dragon!" Cheng Jia picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Book of Changes" Qian Hexagram: Ninety-two, see the dragon in the field, and benefit the adults!

Ninety-two refers to the second position of Yao in the next hexagram, which means that the dragon has appeared on the field, which is beneficial for talented people to come out of the mountains and enter the world, and stand out.

The Cheng family in Huaitang is mostly Confucian businessmen, and Cheng Dagong has also recited the Four Books and Five Classics, so he immediately understood what Cheng Jia meant.

"Why do you know that?" Cheng Dagong was obviously calmer than Cheng Jianeng. At his age and status, it was long past the time when his head was so hot that he would put all his eggs in one basket.

Only after repeatedly considering the pros and cons, they will place their bets cautiously.

"King Shun wants to buy five million shi of grain!" Cheng Jia said with a chuckle.

"What?" Cheng Dagong was also taken aback, then he stabilized his expression and said calmly, "That's it?"

"That's it!" Cheng Jia said with a smile, "Sage Confucius said: Enough trust, enough food, and enough soldiers! From my point of view, there are endless fields of potatoes and wheat along the way under the rule of the rebels, and the people in Luoyang live and work in peace and contentment. It is far better than the barren fields elsewhere. , the people have been displaced a lot!"

"Only where the officers and soldiers are fighting, the people are scattered and the fields are barren. But there are many porridge houses outside the city, and they rescue the people. You can be called a benevolent gentleman!"

"Under his rule, the people have nothing to eat, and all four industries are prosperous; the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and they use soldiers like gods. They have defeated officers and soldiers in succession. They can be called the masters of one side!"

"Since King Shun is in desperate need of food and grass, why is this so? The art of war says: If you can, you can show that you can't, and if you use it, you can show that you don't need it. Could this be King Shun's 'difference'?" Cheng Dagong frowned and said.

He is a businessman, so of course he knows that there are as many people as there are people to eat, and as many crops as there are crops to produce as much food.

Although the rebel army now occupies two prefectures and one prefecture, only one prefecture in Henan can actually stabilize its rule and straighten out the order of money and food.

This place has been suffering from military disasters again and again, how can it support tens of thousands of troops?
"I can't, my mentor, Cheng Jia, knows about it!" Cheng Jia said to himself, "In addition to Luoyang City, I secretly visited the villages outside the city and other cities I passed by."

"People say that King Shun is benevolent and righteous, and his subordinates are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness. If you don't kill or ignore him, the people will take it for granted, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!"

"Sometimes they are not immune to being abused by officers and soldiers, and some people even take the initiative to inform them, so as to prevent King Shun's righteous army from being chased by the officers and soldiers!"

"Then what does he need five million shi of grain for?" If he doesn't lack anything, then it's not a business to catch up!Cheng Dagong said strangely.

"From this point of view, King Shun's ambition is high!" Cheng Jia said with a smile, "Although King Shun didn't say what the purpose of the five million stones of grain was, he told me where to pick up the goods."

"One million stones are prepared in Nanyang, one million stones are prepared in Yuzhou, and one million stones are prepared in Luoyang. From this point of view, King Shun wants to use large-scale troops to conquer the four directions!"

"That's true!" Cheng Dagong nodded and said, "The annual income of rice and wheat in Henan Province is only two million shi. Even if all the money is collected, it will only raise more than a hundred thousand soldiers."

"If we can really transport five million stones, the rebel army can expand to [-] troops, and it's not too much to cross the world!"

"You have convinced me about this, but let alone the five million stones, even two or three million stones are not something you and I can do. You still need to go back to your hometown in Shexian County and convince the chief of the Cheng clan. Only then can we barely do it!"
