Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 60 Manager Lu’s Busyness

The relationship between Lu Wei and the Xu family is deeply entangled, and it is difficult to explain it clearly in a few words.

About two and a half years ago, it was winter. Lu Wei and his four younger brothers came to Jicheng. On the first day, they were robbed of the furs they had earned from hunting by several guards from the Yanchun Lord's Mansion.

The next day, several people were received by Xu Qiu, who was the master of Luqiu Pavilion at the time. He saw at a glance the identity of the five deserters named Lu, but he admired Lu Wei's maturity and knowledge that was not suitable for his age, so he treated him. A small investment: the management of a tavern.

At that time, without Xu Qiu's "little effort", the Lu people would have either left the city to hunt and sleep in the open air again, or sold their strength to the slaves of the powerful, just like they were orphans in the Zhao Kingdom.

This is not difficult to accept. Lu Wei's parents starved to death when he was about three or four years old. He was raised by his eldest and second brothers.

Since his second brother left the city and never returned when he was six years old, Lu Wei lived alone until he was 12 years old.

If he hadn't been given this rejuvenation skill from the daily treasure chest in time, the helpless Lu Wei might have died before he even got strong.

Therefore, it can be said that it was precisely because of Xu Qiu's appreciation that he felt physical warmth for the first time in this life.

Later, there was a struggle for power in Gonggongtang, and Xu Qiu went to Qi State.His son Xu Sheng even took the opportunity to go to the Chu caravan to allow Lu Wei to truly grow up in a farm family.

No matter what the motivations of the father and son were, it was indeed because they gave Lu Wei two opportunities to change his fortunes, and Lu Wei seized them both that he could become the general manager of Gonggongtang today.

Xu was kind to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei also did not let Xu down:
He taught the two purple-level martial arts, Ice Palm and Butterfly Sword Technique, to Xu Sheng without reservation, showing his generosity.

When the caravan going to Chu encountered bandits in the Yan Kingdom, Shanyu Konoye was the first to rush forward to fight the enemy, and Lu Wei completely wiped out these thieves.

Later, when they encountered a trap and killed Xu Sheng, after Xu Sheng's hand was cut off, Lu Wei was the only one among the three commanders who cared about Xu Sheng's life and death. Zhou Wen and Wu Chen each had their own thoughts.

Lu Wei then ensured that the caravan arrived safely in Shouchun, completed the agreed deal with the Xiang family, returned to Yan to temporarily take charge of Luqiu Pavilion, and helped the Xu family recover part of their property from Yanchun Jun's Mansion. These were all Lu Wei's actions .

Even his act of sending Lu Ni to kill Tian Zhong was rounding off to avenge the Xu family and his son.

In terms of kindness, he repaid Xu enough.

Therefore, when he met Xu and his son again, there was no hostility between the two parties.

Xu Qiu asked his servant to bring tea. He and Lu Wei just sat aside, watching Xu Sheng excitedly fight with all directions.

"General Manager Lu can defeat Tian Zhong and gain the appreciation of Hall Master Zhou. It is truly a blessing from God."

Xu Qiu overcame her discomfort and slight embarrassment at Lu Wei's rapid climb and spoke with a smile.

"It doesn't matter whether God helps me or not." Lu Wei stared at the power of Xu Sheng's left-hand sword on the field, which was as powerful as thunder, and raised his eyebrows and smiled jokingly:

"After Brother Xu encountered misfortune, he was able to acquire this exquisite left-hand sword technique. It was God's help~"

"Oh, this is indeed not easy." Xu Qiu picked up the tea and took a sip, but did not say any more.

Of course Lu Wei was sensible and did not ask further questions, but he actually already had a guess in his mind:

Among the two masters of the Tian family in the farmhouse: Tian Meng's extremely powerful swordsmanship kills fiercely, and Tianhuhuhu's swordsmanship is extremely domineering. This is common sense.

Accompanying this common sense, there is also another kind of news: Tian Meng, the leader of Lieshan Hall, is an extremely rare left-handed swordsman!

His left-hand sword and right-hand sword were equally proficient, but because Tian Meng's talent could not support him from using swords with both hands at the same time, not many people paid attention to this information.

But Lu Wei, who is particularly sensitive to information about his opponent, certainly remembers this: due to the luck rules of the left-handed sword technique that are completely opposite to the conventional sword technique, its sword moves will be somewhat uncomfortable for ordinary people to deal with, and it will take time to adjust.

Small changes in a battle will determine the boundary between life and death, not to mention this kind of left and right hand.

Xu Qiu and Xu Sheng stayed in Gonggongtang for more than half a year, but they were extremely decadent. As soon as they were kicked out of the farmhouse, they immediately acquired mature left-handed swordsmanship, which has to arouse suspicion.
After observing calmly and taking note of the characteristics of Xu Sheng's left-handed sword, Lu Wei stayed at Xu's house for half a stick of incense before saying goodbye and leaving.He did not talk about the current relationship between the Xu family and Lu Qiuge during this trip, but the cooperation between the two parties will naturally resume in the future.

There are some things that don't need to be revealed, just a tacit understanding of drinking a cup of tea together, and you will naturally understand each other's sincerity.

After coming out of Xu's house, Lu Wei rushed to Lu Mu's machine workshop and briefly learned about his work.

At present, this workshop has not sold any products to outsiders, but it still has sufficient funds to develop research.

This is because all the tasks that Lu Wei originally assigned to Lu Mu were to serve farmers and Gonggongtang: agricultural tools, paper, various furniture and other products were all supplied to Luqiuge and Dazeshan.

Regardless of whether it was Luqiuge or Dazeshan, the quotations for these products met Lu Wei's requirements. After all, he set the prices himself.
Therefore, the trade between the two parties is essentially equivalent to Lu Wei's personal left hand turning to his right hand.

Due to the narrow scope of circulation, these objects did not cause a big sensation, but they did continuously strengthen the power of Gonggongtang.

After the inspection, he issued an order for Lu Mu to spend more time on making weapons. Before leaving, he dropped a volume of repeating crossbow blueprints.

It was already dark when we returned to Luqiu Pavilion, but Lu Wei couldn't rest yet.

He asked Lu Shan to send a greeting note to the housekeeper of Yan Chunjun's house, hoping that both parties could make an appointment to meet again, and then Lu Wei came to the accounting room.

No matter how much I trust my fourth brother, I still have to show full attention to financial matters and make random checks from time to time.

This is also for the sake of Sansame Konoha, otherwise it would be bad if a few people make mistakes due to slackness.

Dinner was delivered by Lu Yu. The dishes were very exquisite, but Lu Wei only managed a few casual bites before continuing to devote himself to the business of auditing the accounts.

After initially confirming that Lu Shan's work was OK, it was already the end of Haishi.

After walking out of the accounting room, Lu Wei suddenly remembered that he had not practiced sword practice today, so he decisively went downstairs and pulled Lu Ni up to compete with each other in a few moves, which could be considered as a way to relax his muscles after sitting for a long time.

At this point, the busy day for the general manager of Gonggongtang is finally over.
But when the new sun rises, his fatigue will still continue. Lu Ye's branch training camp is also a big event.

Not only did he have to travel more than 20 miles to go to the branch base in Shuzhen, but after arriving at the scene, he also showed off his exquisite martial arts skills in front of all the disciples, gave a speech, and at the same time gave these orphans a message. money.

Since the orphans recruited by the branch have been taught by Lu Ye most of the time, this may cause them to easily regard Lu Ye as their loyal target when they grow up.

This will not work!

Whether it is Luqiu Pavilion or Gonggongtang, the only light in the hearts of the disciples can only be themselves!
After adding a few 'loyalty' books to the branch's daily teaching materials and leaving a stone with the Chinese characters 'Lu Wei' engraved on it in the square where the disciples practice daily, the manager left the branch with a little peace of mind.

However, Lu Wei did not return to Jicheng immediately. Instead, he came to a hill more than 50 miles away and found Gao Jianli who was comprehending the world in the mountains and forests.

Gao Jianli, who got the carillon, was deeply moved by the scene of Lu Wei's farming and played a self-composed music, and he couldn't stop it.

He was eager to complete the thin piece, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Lu Wei and began to travel around for inspiration.

For this reason, he no longer even went to various pubs and inns to work as a musical instrument player according to his habit.

Before Gao Jianli left, he said: If I don't complete my music, I will never play other music again for the rest of my life.

For more than half a year, he has kept this vow.

Lu Wei came to him not to persuade him, and he had no inspiration to help Gao Jianli.

After all, Mr. Lu doesn’t understand music~

He came here just because he returned to Yan State and met his friends by the way to consolidate this relationship.
Bringing a pot of old wine, he looked at Gao Jianli and drank. Looking at his thinner face, Lu Wei scanned the surrounding empty environment and suddenly thought:
"Why don't you go find Kuang Xiu?"

Opening his eyes, Gao Jianli's drunken eyes lit up!
