Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 16 Confrontation
"Mr. Han Yu's words are wrong." Chu Nan looked at Chen Gui and asked with a smile, "Dare to ask Mr. Han Yu, has Yuan Shu ever assumed the title of emperor?"

As soon as Chu Nan opened his mouth, Chen Gui knew what Chu Nan meant. He frowned and said, "Although he hasn't proclaimed himself emperor, everyone already knows his intention to be emperor."

"I have little talent and little learning. I don't know if there are any sages who said that everything is done regardless of one's heart. I think Yuan Shu is not the only one with ambitions in this world. For example, Mr. Han Yu, you may have the heart to murder Wenhou." Chu Nan laughed.

Chu Nan doesn’t remember which ancient person said it, and he doesn’t know which era it was, but the truth is actually here even if no one says it. It’s best if someone says it, and if no one says it yourself , Maybe it will become a famous saying thousands of years later.

"Ridiculous, the bastard dares to talk nonsense!" Chen Gui couldn't sit still, did this kid know something?And even if he talked nonsense, if Lu Bu really believed it, the consequences would be disastrous!
Don't look at Lu Bu being polite to him now, it's because Lu Bu wants the support of Xuzhou's gentry, but if he really angered him, he would really treat him as the world's most powerful general for nothing! ?
If Lu Bu gets murderous, the Chen family will have a hard time!

"It's just a metaphor. Don't get angry, Lord Hanyu. Just like what I said, it's a ridiculous reason for everyone to know, and even if Yuan Shu has this intention, Marquis Wen can pretend that he doesn't know it, and when he really makes an arrogance. At the time of the incident, we can break off ties with him and win a good name. Now that Yuan Shu has not done anything, it would be too much for Duke Han Yu to convict him here." Chu Nan said with a smile.

Without waiting for Chen Gui to say anything, Chu Nan continued: "Besides, Xuzhou is the land of the Four Wars. Besides, it borders Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north. If you offend Yuan Shu again at this time, wouldn't it be an enemy on all sides? In this way, if Cao Cao and Yuan Shu come to attack in turn, Marquis Wen's courage will naturally be fearless, but Xuzhou has been fighting for years and there is no respite, sir, how can you bear it?"

"What a sharp mouth!" Chen Gui quickly calmed down, and took a deep look at Chu Nan, feeling a little regretful in his heart. I really have some skills, I didn't check for a while, but was taken the lead by the other party. Now that Chu Nan put the situation in Xuzhou on the bright side, Lu Bu is not a fool. It is obviously unrealistic to force Lu Bu to continue to break with Yuan Shu at this time .

It's just such a person, a merchant, even if he has the ability, how did Lu Bu find it! ?

Chen Gui couldn't figure it out. Xuzhou's talent pool was almost all in his hands, including the governor Zhang Hong, who didn't dare to fight against him. How did Lu Bu bypass himself and find such a merchant in the market to use for him?

Whether Lu Bu wants to search for talents among the people or Chu Nan wants to recommend himself, it is impossible to surpass himself!
Could it be that Lu Bu has established a force that he has not even noticed in this quiet time, and can search for talents for him?This is not good news!

"Wen Hou, I really didn't think carefully about this matter. Wen Hou should know that I have some grievances with Yuan Shu, so I am a little out of my wits. I hope Wen Hou will forgive me!" Chen Gui ignored Chu Nan, but bowed to Lu Bu road.

"No problem!" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "There is no need to discuss the matter of Han Yin."

"En." Chen Gui nodded, got up and said: "I still have some mundane affairs at home, since this matter has been settled, I don't want to continue to disturb you, so I will leave."

"Mr. Han Yu, go slowly!" Lu Bu and Chu Nan got up to see them off. After Chen Gui declined, he took another look at Chu Nan before leaving.

Chu Nan suppressed the urge to check the other party's information, and watched Chen Gui leave with a smile, but he felt a little tired in his heart. After making such a fuss, his little Jincao might be missed by the Chen family.

"Come in, it's just right, the wedding date has been set, come and take a look." Seeing Chen Gui walking away, Lu Bu glanced back at Chu Nan.

"Marriage... wedding date!?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu in astonishment.

"What's the matter? You took advantage of my daughter and want to repent!?" Lu Bu turned his head, his eyes were already cold.

In an instant, Chu Nan felt his scalp go numb, and the temperature around him seemed to drop several degrees.

"No, it's just... Shouldn't the two families discuss things like this?" Chu Nan shook his head stiffly. At this moment, he seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Lu Bu's anger was not something that a mere mortal could bear. Yes, as for this matter, it's not that I don't want to, it's just...except for Lu Lingqi's mention, there has been no news in the past two days, why is it suddenly decided?You won't be the last to know about this party, right?
"You have no parents in your family, and you don't have any elders." Lu Bu obviously investigated Chu Nan's life experience, and at this moment he frowned and said, "We don't know much about the rules in your Xuzhou. In our hometown, this situation is caused by I'll make the decision, do you have an opinion?"

can have?

Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu speechlessly, he couldn't figure out the big things, but he was very courageous in the small things.

It's just that with Lu Bu's pissing nature, he won't go back on his word, right?

"By the way, are you here for other things?" Lu Bu asked after taking Chu Nan to the hall to divide the guests and hosts to sit down.

"It's about the matter of salt and iron." Only then did Chu Nan recover. He was frightened by Lu Bu's aura just now and almost forgot everything. He said solemnly: "After yesterday's work report, I looked through the file and found that Xuzhou Yan and Iron is now It has not been controlled by the Chen family, the Mi family, and the clans from all over Xuzhou. Since Marquis Wen took office, there should have been a salt and iron tax revenue account, but none of it has been collected. Today is for this matter."

Lu Bu was a little annoyed when he heard the words. This matter was also his heart disease. It was not just salt and iron. Most of Xuzhou's taxes were in the hands of several big families. Half of the reason why he got close to the Chen family and his son was to win over Xuzhou's gentry. Take some of these taxes from them, otherwise, although there is a lot of food in Xuzhou, it can't last for a few years without going in, and I will soon have to sit and eat.

The Chen family's father and son gave him some, but for Lu Bu, it was not enough to raise cavalry, and now his general's mansion has been unable to make ends meet.

"Is there a solution?" Lu Bu asked a little irritably.

"I don't have a solution to iron for the time being, but there is indeed some solution to the salt." Chu Nan nodded and said.

"Oh?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he looked at Chu Nan and said, "What method?"

"I have a method, which is to boil the sea to obtain salt. Compared with the traditional method of obtaining salt today, it only needs a few places near the Haitian border and enough manpower to obtain salt. At that time, Marquis Wen can open a salt farm in the name of the government office. Just sell the salt at a low price." This is Chu Nan's solution to the salt tax. Since you don't want to pay, then I will compete with you for business. Everyone depends on their ability!
