Chapter 2649: Good news means promotion, bad news means no going back!

Jiankang Chengpo, the Southern Chen Dynasty also collapsed.

In the former imperial palace,

Chen Shubao was taken to Daxing City.
But the battle of the Sui army was not over yet, because Lingnan had not yet been pacified.

However, Yang Guang gave Lady Xian the news of the destruction of the Southern Chen Dynasty and even gave her the Funan rhinoceros stick! But these were all things that happened in the tenth year of Kaihuang.
After the fall of the Southern Chen Dynasty, Lu Yan was also promoted, but he was appointed as the seventh-rank Cloud Cavalry Commander in Jiangdu.

That is, the garrison, with a thousand men under his command.

Above him, there are two others, one is a fifth-rank Guoyi Duwei, and the other is a third-rank Qianniu Guard!

The entire Jiangdu garrison has 10,000 troops, and the Qianniu guard officer is Yu Wenzhi's man!
Lu Yan now has two pieces of news. One is good news, that is, he has been promoted from a messenger to a cloud cavalry captain. Although it is a medal, the official position is real. The bad news is that he can't go back to Daxing! His father can't protect him!

Thinking of this, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, because it would be better not to get promoted!

Even if he was a messenger, at least he was following Yang Su.

Being a seventh-rank official under the prime minister's command, that was such a good thing. But now it's over. There are so many people above him. Even if he can get one a year, it will take him three years!

Jiangdu, which is Yangzhou in later generations,
In the three-courtyard house near the river, Lu Yan was eating fruit and said, "Xiao Mei Niang, come and rub my legs!"

Xiao Meiniang was sweeping the floor. After hearing this, she immediately stared at him with resentment on her face and said, "Humph, when I was a concubine, you, a seventh-rank official, didn't even have the chance to look me in the eye!"

After hearing what Xiao Meiniang said, Lu Yan said with disdain: "What about the concubine? You are just a maid now, with a bond. Don't forget, be careful that I will be in a bad mood that day and sell you to the boat on the other side!"

Looking at Lu Yan, Xiao Meiniang said angrily: "Aren't you bullying me?"

"I did bully you. At first I thought you were a maid, so I took pity on you and gave you a piece of gold to return home."

With a look of astonishment on his face, Lu Yan could not help but say: "I wanted to shine my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch!"

After hearing what Lu Yan said, Xiao Meiniang stepped forward and swept the ground twice with a broom.
As the dust rolled up, Lu Yan quickly stood up from his chair and said, "What are you doing? I tell you, you are my slave now, I will sell you, believe it or not!"

"Come on, if you have the guts, sell me out. You only know these two sentences every day!"

Turning around and leaving, Xiao Meiniang looked at Lu Yan with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
When she was kidnapped by Lu Yan, she had already accepted her fate.
After all, she had only been in the harem for two days when the Southern Chen Dynasty was gone. She was just about to look for Yang Guang when she was kidnapped by Lu Yan. Xiao Meiniang was too embarrassed to mention this to anyone.

But just when she thought she would follow this "stupid soldier" for the rest of her life, Lu Yan still didn't touch her, which made Xiao Meiniang angry.
After all, she was the concubine of Chen Shubao, the last emperor of the Southern Chen Dynasty. Even if it was only in name, she was still a noble lady.

But Lu Yan made her a slave. Xiao Meiniang had never seen such a torturous thing. It was really too cruel!
Leaving the mansion, Lu Yan put his hands behind his back, thinking about what to do next.
After all, he is in Jiangdu and has thousands of people under his command, so he is at least a big shot!
But Lu Yan thought too much. Since he took office, no one has given him gifts.
Lu Yan: Why do I become an official? Is it to be a lucky cat?
Yang Su: You are a seventh-rank official, and you still want to accept charcoal tribute?
But when Lu Yan was walking on the side of the road, he heard a noise coming from not far away.

Walking forward, Lu Yan looked at the onlookers and immediately asked, "What happened?"

"Oh, selling yourself?"

After hearing Lu Yan's words, the person who turned around immediately started to explain.
Lu Yan casually took out a silver coin, about ten taels, and threw it directly into the crowd.

Just as the prostitute raised his head, he found that Lu Yan had disappeared.

Although he couldn't accept the charcoal tribute, his father Lu Hankui didn't lack it!

After all, they are Yang Su's loyal subordinates. Silver is just a number to these aristocratic families!
Back in the courtyard, Lu Yan stroked his chin and said, "The world has just been settled, and there is a shortage of slaves in all aspects!" But when this thought came to him, Lu Yan couldn't help but blinked and said, "Damn it, how could I forget that Lincoln wasn't born yet! No one can stop me from becoming a slave owner now!"

"Xiao Meiniang, go prepare the food. I want to cook it myself!"

Rolling up his sleeves happily, Lu Yan couldn't help but get excited.
Just as Lu Yan finished speaking, Xiao Meiniang, who was supposed to scold him as usual, became very well-behaved.

Although Lu Yan is not good in other aspects, his cooking is really delicious!

After cooking a home-cooked meal, Xiao Meiniang covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Sesame official, the food is glowing!"

"Isn't that nonsense? If the food doesn't glow, can it still be called food?"

Picking up the chopsticks in his hand, Lu Yan couldn't help but taste it and said, "Not bad!"

But after Xiao Meiniang finished eating, she couldn't help but hold her face and said, "Wow, it's so delicious, better than what you made before!"

Looking at Xiao Meiniang, Lu Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

In the past, he was the one thinking, his thoughts were all over the place, and of course he didn't use all his strength, but now it's different;

After his thoughts became clear, Lu Yan decided to make the Sui Dynasty stronger and start by giving it a million slaves!

He would not believe that Yang Guang, this unfortunate guy, could be dragged to death by the canal.

But when Lu Yan thought of this, he was stunned. Wait, there are slaves. What if the Sui Dynasty prospers?
But in the next second, Lu Yan gave up thinking, because his mind was now full of selling "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse".
If he can't accept the cold and warm hospitality, can't he go abroad and have fun?
Besides, in this day and age, he is a seventh-rank official who can’t even get enough food to eat, so how can he care about this?

But just when Lu Yan was actively preparing, the old butler Afu came.
"Master, it's great to see you!"

Looking at the tall and straight Lu Yan in front of him, Ah Fu couldn't help but yelled,
"Uncle Fu, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?"

Looking at Ah Fu in astonishment, Lu Yan thought something was wrong with his father Lu Hankui.

But at this moment, Ah Fu said, "The master is fine. He asked me to send you some silver because he was worried that you were having a hard time in Jiangdu!"

Just as Afu finished speaking, a group of sturdy soldiers came in carrying boxes.
Looking at this group of soldiers, Lu Yan had a "crazy" idea in his mind at this moment.

Since his father is a lieutenant commander, it is normal for him to have some "powerful" private soldiers!
Lu Hankui: What a sin! I gave him money and he robbed my house!

Lu Yan: I am your biological son!
Ancestor of the Lu Family: Give it to him, give it all to him!
When the boxes of silver were opened, Lu Yan couldn't help but gasp. Wow, his dad was indeed a "bandit" soldier. He spent 20,000 taels of silver!

You know, nowadays a family of five only needs five taels of silver a year to feed themselves!

These twenty thousand taels are enough for Lu Yan to set up a slave transport fleet!

Watching this scene dully, Xiao Meiniang turned her head and looked at Lu Yan and said, "Your family is so rich, why do you give me 100 yuan a month?"

"Because I'm picking it!"

Looking at Xiao Meiniang, Lu Yan raised a faint smile.

In the seventh century AD, if he wanted to be the one in charge, no one could do it, not even Jesus!
