Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 15 Lu Kangtuogu
Lu Yi took Zhuge Ruoxue and Da Qiao into Shu County.

Shu County is very lively now, with items being sold everywhere on both sides of the street.

Lu Yi and his party bought a chicken, a duck, two carp, some corn, and some pieces of tofu.

Zhuge Ruoxue seemed a little excited.

Even in Langya, before I was separated from my family, although I would buy some food before Yuan Day, it would not be so abundant.

On the other hand, Da Qiao seemed a little dull.

Lu Yi drove the two of them back to their residence in a carriage and simply cooked some corn porridge to drink.

Afterwards, Zhuge Ruoxue and Da Qiao were cleaning at home.

After being away for such a long time, the house was filled with dust.

Lu Yi, on the other hand, boiled some hot soup, took a bath, put on clean clothes, and then went straight to the prefect's mansion to report.

The gate of the prefect's mansion was very lively.

Talkers from all the big families in Lujiang personally visited with gifts.

Lu Yi was a little embarrassed.

He really has no money!
The chickens, ducks and fish I bought before were all saved from my salary.

The salary of a Juchao leader is pitiful.

After buying those, there is basically not much left.

This is also thanks to Juchao who has nowhere to spend his money!

However, now, he could only bite the bullet and wait.

Unexpectedly, this time he didn't wait long before a servant from the prefect's mansion came out and asked him to go to the study inside.

Lu Yi followed the servant to the study.

The servants leave.

Lu Yi walked straight into the study.

In the study, Lu Kang was sitting on his knees in front of the desk, correcting documents.

Not far from him, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy was sitting on his knees by the stove, warming himself by the fire.

Is there a crude grill made of copper wire on top of the stove?
Not only were there two large pieces of meat on it, but there was also hot tea.

When Lu Yi walked in, Lu Kang and the young man both looked over.

Lu Kang smiled and pointed to the opposite side of the young man and said, "Come on, Junli, sit there!"

Then he said to the young man: "Xun'er, get some barbecue for Junli and pour him a cup of hot tea."

Lu Yi glanced at the young man opposite him with some surprise.

Xun'er?

Is this Lu Xun?
During the Three Kingdoms period, a fire burned down Liu Bei's family property in Yiling, and directly burned all the possible outstanding people in the Shu Han Dynasty?

Unfortunately, it didn't end well in the end, and he was scolded to death by Sun Quan.

Seeing Lu Yi looking at Lu Xun, Lu Kang smiled and said, "His name is Lu Xun. He is my grandson. He is very smart. I took him with me to teach him how to read and write."

Lu Yi hummed.

Lu Xun used a dagger to cut a large piece of meat for Lu Yi, poured a cup of herbal tea, and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was not polite either.

In Juchao, he never ate meat!

It's not that I haven't eaten, it's just that I can't eat anything.

The entire people in Juchao can only eat porridge, and he doesn't want to do anything special.

Of course, the most important thing is that if he does something special, he is afraid that others will notice him and cause trouble.

People are like this. They are not afraid of being poor together, but they are afraid of unfair distribution.

The common people in Juchao, don't look at the kind who are easy to talk to on weekdays, but have made troubles several times and beaten people to death!
If it weren't for those people from Lu Da who suppressed them, Lu Yi wouldn't dare to deal with them.

Just think about it, let them see you eating meat. If they have evil intentions, who can guarantee that you can stop them?

After all, he is in the open.

Moreover, there are two women in the family, Da Qiao and Zhuge Ruoxue.

Lu Kang was originally correcting the documents carefully. When he saw Lu Yi enjoying the meal, Lu Kang stopped writing, frowned, and sighed: "Isn't it difficult to be the director of the nest? I'm scared after reading the documents you send me every month. .”

Lu Yi didn't lie, and said honestly: "It's not easy to do! I have to think about the people, but also guard against them. After all, in these troubled times, no one has anything to eat. If they take action against me, this kind of thing will happen." It’s also possible.”

"Before, when I took people to borrow food from the Lu family in Xiapi, these people attacked me."

"If the Lu family hadn't arranged thugs for me, I might have died that time."

Lu Kang smiled and said, "Then you won't report back? Or, you can apply to be transferred back."

Lu Yi continued to eat meat and said, "I don't dare."

"When I came here, I finally got your recommendation to become Xiaolian. Now, I haven't accomplished anything, so I'm giving up. What do you think of me? How will you arrange for me to do things in the future?"

"Secondly, I have already asked for a lot of supplies from the Fang family before I left. If I give up halfway, the supplies provided by the Fang family will basically be in vain. How should I face the Fang family?"

"The Fang family is a wealthy family, but they are not good people."

"If he gives me supplies, he must have something to ask for." Lu Kang nodded happily.

Although this young man from the side branch is young, he has a thorough understanding.

Lu Kang said: "When I return to Juchao next year, I will write a document to appoint Fang Hao as the county captain and allow him to bring some servants there."

"On the one hand, in this case, you can also return the favor to the Fang family."

"On the other hand, with their people in charge, you have something to rely on, whether it's supplies or security."

Lu Yi was a little puzzled: "Currently, I made Lu Da from Xia Pi Lu's family the county captain, and he is doing quite well."

Lu Kang smiled and said, "You can let Lu Da and others do your part."

Lu Yi nodded.

Lu Kang was silent for a moment and then said, "When you go back next year, I have to ask you something."

Lu Yi was a little surprised.

What can Lu Kang, a prefect, ask of himself, a chief of the nest?
Lu Kang put down the bamboo slips and bamboo sword, sighed, stood up, and walked in the study while saying: "Cao Cao has withdrawn his army in Xuzhou."

Lu Yi hummed.

Lu Kang said: "Now the Han Dynasty is in decline, the laws and regulations have collapsed, the country will be in ruins, and rebellious officials and traitors are everywhere."

"In the north there are disciples of Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, and in the west there are disciples of Liu Biao and Yuan Shu."

"Only I, Lujiang and Xuzhou, still belong to the imperial court."

Lu Yi hummed again.

Lu Kang continued: "Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou before, and Yuan Shucai was defeated by Cao Cao, so he did not dare to take action."

"Now that Cao Cao has retreated, how will he let go of the fat people around him?"

"Although he is the fourth generation and the third prince, looking at what he and his brother Yuan Shao have done, how can he still have the slightest desire to be a minister?"

"In just one or two years, he will definitely take action against Lujiang."

Lu Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Before, I wanted to remind Lu Kang to be careful about Yuan Shu!
Unexpectedly, he had already expected it.

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "That's exactly what I meant! So, we have to prepare in advance!"

Lu Kang turned around, looked at Lu Yi, and said with a bitter smile: "I can't stop him at all! Although I am the governor of Lujiang, I can't even control Lujiang."

"Let's just talk about the Zhou family, this super wealthy family with two sons and three sons."

"Once Yuan Shu attacks, who do you think they will help?"

"They're just a bunch of jackals working together."

"Just say that Zhou Shang, the younger brother of Zhou Yi, the current head of the Zhou family, is now taking orders from Yuan Shu and serving as the prefect of Danyang!"

Lu Yi was speechless.

Knowing that the Zhou family and other big families would stab them, Lu Kang couldn't do anything to them!
The Zhou family and other big families have too much power in Lujiang!
It’s not just financial power and influence.

Even the military strength is not inferior to the soldiers in Lu Kang's hands.

The most critical question is that the soldiers in Lujiang's hands are all locals of Lujiang. Which family is not related to the Zhou family and other big families?

It really makes these soldiers fall out with the Zhou family and other big families, not to mention that the Zhou family and other big families are not yet in cahoots with Yuan Shuhang.

Even if it were true, these soldiers would still hesitate!
Lu Kang sighed again and said to Lu Xun: "Go and call your uncle."

Lu Xun hummed, stood up, and ran out.

After a while, Lu Xun pulled a seven or eight-year-old child over.

Lu Kang pointed to the child and said to Lu Yi, "His name is Lu Ji, and he is my youngest son."

Then he said to Lu Xun and Lu Ji: "Xun'er, Ji'er, from now on, you will call Junli your eldest brother and listen to his words!"

Lu Xun and Lu Ji both saluted Lu Yi and said, "Brother!"

Lu Yi quickly stood up and said, "You can't do it!"

Lu Kang held Lu Yi's shoulders and said in a hoarse voice: "This is what I beg you for! When you return to Juchao next year, take them with you."

"They are the youngest and smartest in my family."

"As long as they survive, our Lu family still has hope."

"You are also from the Lu family."

"I hope you can protect them."

"Living in a poor place, even if Yuan Shu invades, he will not attack there."

"If an accident happens, you will enter Ruxu Port from Juchao."

"There is someone in Ruxu Port who is my disciple. He has met Xun'er and Ji'er."

"When the time comes, they will help you cross the river from Ruxugang back to Wu County."

"I know that Wu County is also extremely dangerous now."

"But it's safer than here."

After taking a long breath, Lu Kang said to Lu Yi, "Jun Li, you can do it, right?"
