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

Chapter 47 Introduction to Xu Gong

A group of people came out of Liu Yao's residence.

Lu Yi said to Nangong Ming: "Uncle Nangong, we will not go back with you."

After glancing at Xu Gong, Lu Yi said, "Let's go back with Commander Xu."

Nangong Ming nodded and said: "In the future, we will have the opportunity to walk around more. Only by walking more will the relationship become closer."

Lu Yi responded.

Nangong Ming glanced at Nangong Yan one last time, turned around and left alone.

Lu Yi then followed Xu Gong to the dungeon, lifted Gao Dai's mother out, and then the group rode a carriage to Wu County.

Xu Gong and Lu Yi were riding in a carriage.

Gao Dai's mother was riding in a carriage.

Nangong Yan followed on horseback.

Xu Gong looked at Lu Yi and finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He took the lead in breaking the calm and said, "Master Lu, how many Danyang veterans are there in the Lu family?"

Lu Yi looked at Xu Gong and said, "No more, no less."

Telling Xu Gong the real number is very dangerous.

This kind of villain, once he knows your true strength, it is easy for him to do evil things.

When Xu Gong heard what Lu Yi said, he smiled and said, "How much is no more and no less?"

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Just enough, there should be no problem in protecting our Lu family."

Xu Gong: "The strength of the Lu family is very worrying. If the head of the Lu family wants to become an official, I can recommend him to the prince."

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in being an official for the time being."

"Actually, when Grand Administrator Lu Kang was still alive, he recommended me as Xiaolian. However, the emperor was suffering, so I temporarily stayed in Lujiang and served as the chief of Juchao."

"Don't worry, Governor Xu. We, the Lu family, are good citizens. We just want to develop in peace and become a wealthy family. We don't want to get involved in anything."

"Whether it's Fu Jun's side or Sun Ce's side."

"Actually, we are still enemies with Sun Ce."

"Sun Ce killed Governor Lu Kang. This revenge must be avenged."

"It's just that we are weak and have no choice but to give up."

"People should act according to their ability. If you sacrifice the lives of all the Lu family for the hatred of one person, Governor Lu Kang, if you really do this, I will not be able to see Governor Lu Kang when I see him on the road to hell."

When Xu Gong saw Lu Yi talking about this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Yi, "Does Master Lu really mean what he said?"

Lu Yi said: "People cannot stand without faith."

"Besides, if our Lu family wants to develop, we still need Magistrate Xu's help with many things."

"Of course, the taxes we should pay will not be less."

"On the contrary, I will try my best to give more."

"After all, I heard that Governor Xu has many clients, which are a big expense."

"Just now at Fujun's residence, Fujun also said that Sun Ce is about to attack. At that time, Commander Xu will also send troops to fight against Sun Ce. And fighting against Sun Ce is also helping my Lu family to avenge us."

After a pause, Lu Yi said again: "In this way, I also thought of a way that can not only increase the taxes our Lu family pays to Wu County, but also strengthen the relationship between my Lu family and Governor Xu."

Xu Gong asked curiously: "Elaborate!"

Lu Yi said: "My Lu family's farmhouse is very large, and it has been abandoned over the years. Therefore, a lot of manpower is needed to build water conservancy projects. This also leads to the safety precautions of our Lu family being somewhat inadequate."

"If possible, I would like to borrow some retainers from Governor Xu."

"In case of war, Governor Xu can transfer these retainers away at any time."

"When there is no war, let them protect my Lu family."

"How about our Lu family covering their food, clothing, housing and transportation?"

Xu Gong's expression perked up and he said, "Is this true?"

If this is the case, his retainers can also play a role in monitoring the Lu family!

If anything happens to the Lu family, Zhu Zhi and others, he will know it immediately.

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Of course it's true. I don't have the guts to joke in front of Governor Xu."

Xu Gong also smiled happily and said, "If all our family heads in Wu County are as considerate as the Lu family, I will have a lot less troubles."

Seeing how happy Xu Gong was, Lu Yi rolled his eyes and said, "County Commander Xu, I have a merciless request."

Xu Gong was very excited at this time, waved his hand and said: "Master Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Lu Yi said: "That's it. I want to do business in Wu County, or even in Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other places, selling rouge, jewelry, grain and the like. County Sheriff Xu is the governor of Wu County. I hope County Sheriff Xu can provide some convenience. Help introduce some officials, or family heads, etc." "Of course, I will never be stingy with the remuneration."

Xu Gong pondered for a moment.

If the Lu family is really just doing business, this would be a good thing.

As a result, they have no energy to cause trouble.

Seeing that Xu Gong seemed hesitant, Lu Yi continued: "I am willing to give [-]% of the profits from our business to Governor Xu."

Xu Gong laughed twice and said to Lu Yi: "The Lu family is too polite, so of course there is no problem! By the way, I also have some business that I want to introduce to the Lu family. It depends on whether the Lu family dares to do it."

Lu Yi looked at Xu Gong doubtfully.

Xu Gong said: "Our Wu County is close to Kuaiji. There are many bandits here and there are many mountains and mountains."

"These people are very difficult to control and often go around burning, killing and looting."

"Sometimes, they even break into county offices and kill county magistrates and other officials, which is very troublesome."

"The main reason why this situation occurs is that there is too little arable land here, and people often don't have enough to eat."

"People are like this. If they don't have enough to eat, they will easily get into trouble."

"In the past, when the imperial court was stable, these people were also stable."

"The current appearance of the imperial court coincides with the outbreak of disasters such as severe drought and plague."

"It's understandable that these people have no way to survive and would reach this point."

"I wonder if the head of the Lu family has the guts to do business with these bandits and Shanyue?"

"You sell them food, and then buy all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, medicinal materials, weapons, ores and other things from them."

"If the head of the Lu family can really do this kind of business with them, he will not only be able to increase taxes for our Wu County, but also save them from causing trouble everywhere."

Lu Yi: "."

He was worried that he had no way to connect with these people.

But I didn't expect that when I was about to sleep, Xu Gong would give me a pillow!

However, at this time, there is no need to rush.

Could it be that Lu Yi did this for the same reason: "I have to go back and discuss this with the elders of the family. Besides, I can't just bring people over aimlessly to ask for business, right?"

Xu Gong smiled and said: "I have contacts with some bandits and the chiefs of Shanyue. If the Lu family is willing, I am willing to call them over and let the Lu family have a discussion with them."

Lu Yi frowned and said slowly: "This is not impossible. After all, we are making a contribution to the court. If we, the Lu family, can make them all settle down, it will be considered a good deed."

Xu Gong nodded heavily and said: "The head of the Lu family is indeed a man who understands righteousness. In this way, five days later, at the Wucheng County government office, the head of the Lu family will bring all the Danyang veterans, and I will accompany you there."

"After all, they are bandits and Shanyue, so they still need some deterrence."

"how?"

Lu Yi said: "Okay!"

Xu Gong smiled and said: "In five days, I will come to see the head of the Lu family. At that time, everyone will go there together."

He wanted to see how many Danyang veterans the Lu family had!

Lu Yi sent Xu Gong to the Wuxian County Sheriff's Mansion before returning to the Lu family.

Gao Dai and his mother reunited, and both mother and son cried hoarsely.

When the people around saw this scene, they all booed.

After the two chatted for a while, Gao Dai immediately thanked Lu Yi and expressed his willingness to teach students in the Lu family's school.

Lu Yi also informed Sheng Xian that he had asked Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Yao to cancel the arrest of Sheng Xian.

Sheng Xian was quite shocked by Lu Yi's ability.

Liu Yao is the shepherd of a state, but he still listens to him!

Sheng Xian also stated that he would stay in the Lu family from now on.

Moreover, he suggested opening a school in the Lu family to support scholars from all over the world and come to the Lu family to talk about world affairs.

All the scholars from all over the world who come to this academy are provided with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even some money will be given to them when they leave.

And he, Sheng Xian, was willing to be the person in charge of this academy.

Lu Yi readily agreed.

This is also the reason why he is willing to keep Gao Dai and Sheng Xian.

They want to use their fame to spread the Lu family's fame to the entire Jiangdong, no, even Yangzhou, the entire world!
