Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 65 The Return
In the General's Mansion, Lu Bu looked at the bamboo slips in Yanzhuang. He didn't have much expression on his face, but he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes.

As for the deal with Yuan Shu, Chen Gong has not sent any news yet, but just the income of Yanzhuang in the past few days has given Lu Bu enough reason to laugh.

Since Xuzhou was seized, it was not the employing people that bothered Lu Bu the most. Even if the magistrates and even the sheriffs of the counties were not their own people, they were in charge after all.

Recruiting soldiers and horses requires money, buying war horses requires money, and training elite soldiers is also money. Apart from other things, the expenditure of the army alone is almost a bottomless pit. For this, Lu Bu gave up his old arrogance. Even so, the taxes collected The endowment is only enough to make ends meet, and it is possible to raise soldiers, but it is extremely difficult to expand the army.

The generals of various ministries often came to complain, saying that some people had embezzled food and grass, and asked Lu Bu to investigate clearly.

Where is someone cheating, it is true.

But what can Lu Bu do?As the lord, the soldiers fight with their lives on the battlefield, and providing food and grass for the soldiers is naturally what he has to do. It's just that Lu Bu is good at fighting, so where does the money come from?
Although he didn't say anything, Lu Bu has gradually accepted the son-in-law his daughter found from the beginning of rejection.

"Why is your husband so happy?" Diao Chan asked Lv Bu with a smile.

"Happy?" Lu Bu put down the bamboo slips, looked at Diao Chan and asked.

Diao Chan smiled and nodded: "My husband hasn't smiled like this for a long time."

Although Lu Bu has no expression on his face, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised. The smile in the corner of his eyes is not forced, but emanating from the inside out. Diao Chan has followed Lu Bu for many years. As a pillow person, Diao Chan can naturally distinguish Lu Bu's emotions .

"Lingqi found a good helper for me!" Lu Bu took a piece of apple and threw it in his mouth, sighing.

"So Chu Nan has news?" Diao Chan asked with a smile.

"Well, the food and grass are safe now, maybe we don't have to worry about food and grass in the future." Lu Bu said with emotion.

"In a few days it will be the day of their big wedding. Counting the time, Ziyan should come back." Diao Chan didn't know much about these political affairs, and it was difficult to talk about them, so she changed the topic.

"Well, a few days ago I sent someone to send a letter to him, asking him to come back and get married." Lu Bu nodded, and when he said this, his face suddenly became pale. After this incident, Chu Nan has proved his worth. I don't object any more, but... as a father, Lu Bu still feels very complicated when he thinks that the precious daughter he has raised since childhood is about to marry.

"How does my husband plan to arrange Ziyan?" Diao Chan asked with a smile.

"Let's make the order first." Lu Bu naturally had arrangements for this. Chu Nan solved his big problem this time. Although Jin Cao is good, he is only an official after all. It's hard for others to say anything about the credit you have made, and the most important thing is to be by your side.

Lu Bu has now realized that he needs someone beside him who can advise and advise him, and who is also reliable. Although Chen Gong is good, Lu Bu cannot fully trust him.

Chu Nan was different. With his son-in-law, with this relationship, although Lu Bu was quite dissatisfied with him abducting his daughter, he already approved of this son-in-law in his heart.

If he can do more things, Lu Bu is going to let him be the prefect of Xiapi, in charge of the people's livelihood of a county.

"My lord, Jin Cao Chunan is asking to see you." Just as Lu Bu was thinking about how to use this son-in-law, a family general came in and bowed to Lu Bu.

"Let him in!" Lu Bu nodded.

"Here!"

"Don't leave, we're a family from now on, so there's no need to shy away from it." Seeing Diao Chan getting up and about to leave, Lu Bu waved his hands.

In terms of etiquette, when Lü Bu meets his subjects, female relatives need to avoid taboos. However, Lv Bu was born in a frontier fortress, so he doesn't care much about these etiquettes. It is a kind of contempt, and it is the conflict between these two concepts that makes Lu Bu somewhat out of place in the Central Plains, and has never been able to integrate.

After a while, Chu Nan came in under the leadership of the family general. When he saw Diao Chan, Chu Nan was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at the woman beside Lu Bu.

The appearance is extremely beautiful, the oval face is slightly thin, and a pair of peach blossom eyes are dotted on it. They are not the most perfect at all, but when they are combined together, there is a strange charm, and there is a charm in the coolness. Two contradictory temperaments In her body, it is perfectly integrated, with a natural charm, which makes people feel that the world is pale when they look at it.

Diaochan?

A name flashed through Chu Nan's mind, but at this moment, he was sure that this woman must be Diao Chan, who was listed as one of the four beauties.

Seeing his gaze, Diao Chan nodded slightly, but Chu Nan didn't dare to look any further, bowed his head and said, "See Marquis Wen."

"Hmph!" Lu Bu snorted lightly when he heard this, with a bit of dissatisfaction.

"Three days later will be the wedding day with Lingqi, how can you still be called Wen Hou?" Diao Chan reminded the maidservant to bring snacks for Chu Nan.

"Meet my father-in-law!" Chu Nan saluted Lu Bu again.

"No need to be polite, take your seat." Lu Bu pointed to the position where he started, and let Chu Nan take a seat.

"The Ganyu matter is well done." Lu Bu signaled to Chu Nan that there is no need to be restrained, and then said directly: "After you and Lingqi get married, I am going to transfer you to Xiapiling. What do you think?"

The order of Xiapi is different from ordinary county magistrates. Xiapi is not only the seat of Xiapi County, but also the seat of the prefecture. It is regarded as the core county of Lu Bu's forces, and its status is naturally much higher than ordinary county magistrates. Zizi was promoted to Xiapiling, which is definitely an exceptional promotion.

But who made himself Lu Bu's son-in-law?

It feels like there are people on it... Really good~
"All according to father-in-law's order." Chu Nan nodded. Spring plowing is imminent. If he can get a county, he has many ideas that can be put into practice.

Moreover, the county magistrate is in charge of the people's livelihood in a county, and the luck of the people is gathered, and the luck they get is probably higher than that in the military camp before.

"Come here today. Apart from handing over the orders, there are still a few things that need to be explained to my father-in-law." Chu Nan paused, seeing that Lu Bu had no intention of letting Diao Chan avoid him, he then reported what happened in Ganyu during this period, including Mi Fang. Attachment, and the matter of Zhang Yuan told Lu Bu together.

"Why don't you take it directly and take away his family's wealth?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard that the Mi family even kept pirates privately, he was really poor and scared.

"Of course it is possible, but in this way, we can only benefit for a while, but the Mi family has a lot of wealth, and the land is easy to talk about, but if you blame the Mi family for things like shops, it will take a lot of energy just to receive them, and How this store operates, purchases, and sells goods needs to be re-paved, during which time, other wealthy families and aristocratic families will definitely intervene."

"How did they intervene?" Lu Bu frowned when he heard this.

"The shop is just an empty shell. The most important thing is its transaction. Take the cloth shop as an example. It needs to buy silk and hemp materials, as well as craftsmen to weave. Where will the finished products be sold? After this set, I'm afraid it will be difficult in a short time." It is difficult to recover, and even a lot of money needs to be invested. The shops of the Mi family are almost all over Xuzhou, and the trade contacts are spread all over most of the Central Plains. The trading network operated on behalf of others will be handed over to others.”

"Now that the Mi family is in charge, Mi Fang is unwilling to give the entire Mi family to Liu Bei, and is willing to serve his father-in-law. These things can continuously provide money and food for his father-in-law. This is a long-term plan."

After finishing speaking, Chu Nan said with a smile: "Of course, if the father-in-law doesn't want to, he can also confiscate it."

If Lu Bu wants to be stable, he must get rid of this bandit mentality, learn to delay enjoyment, know how to give up immediate interests, and only then can he go further.

"Are you sure that Mi Fang can be used by me?" Lu Bu frowned.

It's good that he can understand it, but he can't trust the Mi family.

"There are no absolutes in this world, but if Mi Fang doesn't want to disband the Mi family business, she can only rely on her father-in-law." Chu Nan didn't guarantee that there is no absolute for people's hearts, but Mi Fang has no better choice now.

"Zhang Yuan..." Mi Fang's matter was temporarily settled, but Zhang Yuan...is not a good person.

"Although there is a lack of virtue, it is precisely because of this that they must rely on their father-in-law. On the other hand, most of the scholars in Xuzhou are seeking for their families. Maybe they have no virtue, but how many of them can sincerely assist their father-in-law?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Bu fell into deep thought...

　Erya. Shiqin: The father of the wife is the uncle, and the mother of the wife is the aunt
　　The father-in-law was called after Tang Xuanzong, but there is an uncle in the book, I guess most people will be confused, let's follow the father-in-law
