Chapter 32 Fairness and Openness
"We can't use the green energy to protect the city, so the warning must be done as soon as possible, otherwise people won't find out until they hit the door. It would be a big loss." Lu Xuan pointed to the wilderness outside the city.

"You can't get it either?" Yang Chong looked at Lu Xuan in surprise. Lu Xuan gave him the feeling that he had always been a very resourceful person. No matter what happened, he could always find a solution when he came to Lu Xuan.

"I'm not a god, how can I do everything? I'm afraid even if the Heavenly Master comes, I won't be able to do this." Lu Xuan shook his head. Protector Qing was so angry that he was a Confucian, or more accurately a Confucian with a high level of cultivation. Even if If you don't have Li Xinian's Taoism, you must at least be a Confucian scholar.

Or use academies, where countless students read the classics of saints and sages every day, which can also invisibly gather the green energy to protect the city. This is why almost every city in Daqian has an academy.

However, the Guiyi Sect is a religion in nature and is incompatible with Confucianism. At least for now, it cannot attract Confucian talents. Where can it gather the green energy to protect the city?

Lu Xuan could make Li Xinian compromise on small things, but if he really wanted to help the Guiyi Sect gather the green energy to protect the city, he would become a traitor.

For Confucians who value reputation more than life, this is simply impossible.

"We just need to close the city gate." Yang Chong said puzzled.

"You can't close it every day, can you?" Lu Xuan shook his head: "This man can only gain wealth if he moves. Otherwise, just relying on people like these in Sanyang County to close the city gate will be a place of death. No one will come, and it won't take long. If we run out of food in the city, what will we do for a living?”

"But will those governments send spies?" Yang Chong asked with a headache.

"They will definitely be sent, and there will be a lot of them, but we have to be clear about what is most important to us now? Feeding these people in the city is what we should do. Originally, Guo Chang should have a headache, but you have also seen his appearance. , we can’t count on it, we can only rely on ourselves.”

Lu Xuan pointed to the city behind him and said: "Yunzhou has a mountainous terrain and is not a food-producing land. What we can rely on is the trade here."

"Now that Yunzhou is in such chaos, there will be merchants coming?" Yang Chong asked confused.

"For businessmen, as long as the benefits are sufficient, even if there is a road to Yama Luodian, they dare to come. Although Yunzhou does not produce grain, it does produce horses. There is a salt lake in the south, not to mention rich iron ore. , The Daqian court does not allow people to sell salt and iron privately, but we can, as long as we have these and ensure smooth trade routes, are we still afraid that no one will come? "

After speaking, Lu Xuan pointed to the outside of the city and said: "Sanyang County is surrounded by three mountains in the north. If enemies come, they will probably be from the south. Send people to build beacon towers every ten miles. As long as a large group of enemies comes, beacons will be set off immediately. We can receive the news in time, and the beacon towers change people every hour. Once contact is lost, the city gates will be closed immediately."

"This is a good idea." Yang Chong nodded. In this way, even if the enemy attacked, they would be able to prepare in time.

"The woods in front were cut down. It's too easy to hide soldiers." Lu Xuan pointed to the woods outside the city, where they had rested when they came.

"Okay." Yang Chong silently wrote it down in his heart.

After the two of them walked around the city again, Lu Xuancai and Yang Chong returned to the house.

When they arrived at the house, they saw a long line of carriages parked outside the house. Seeing Lu Xuan and the others approaching, someone immediately ran to Lu Xuan and said to Lu Xuan: "Lu Dutong, these are the taxes paid by each family this year. , please take inventory."

But it was the wealthy families in the city who sent the taxes Lu Xuan requested.

"Well done, Chao." Lu Xuan nodded and went straight to the courtyard. When he saw Lu Chao who was leading people to count the supplies, he waved to him.

"Brother, you are finally back." Lu Chao quickly came to Lu Xuan and said to Lu Xuan: "I am checking the account books."

"Put out all the food separately, and take away the warm clothes. Divide it into two portions, one for Brother Minyang, and one for us." Lu Xuan said to Lu Chao as he led the two of them back to the house.

"Aren't these things going to the treasury?" Yang Chong asked confused.

"Silly, you believe this. This is your lifeblood, how can you give it to others at will?" Lu Xuan said speechlessly: "Don't be too honest. When others divide it, they won't be fair to you. These are good food. It’s different from the old grains in the treasury. Of course, good things go first to your own people. As for other people, the old grains in the treasury are not inedible and they won’t be hungry.”

Although he was already very familiar with Lu Xuan, Yang Chong still felt warm in his heart at this moment. This feeling of being treated as one of his own was really good. "When the food is finished, we will go find all the people to come over. We must do things fairly, justly, and openly! We can't let the brothers feel cold." Lu Xuan looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

Lu Chao: "..."

Yang Chong: "..."

Although these three words are fresh, they always feel like they have changed in taste as soon as they come out of Lu Xuan's mouth.

"Capital." A confidant came in from outside the door and said to Lu Xuan, cupping his fist.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xuan nodded.

"The Wang family from the north of the city sent a group of kiln ladies, saying they were to relieve the boredom of the capital." The confidant said with a smile.

"What? Do you miss a woman?" Lu Xuan looked at the blush on his confidant's face and said with a smile.

"No." The confidant shook his head quickly.

"You can stay if you want. Brothers have been fighting with me for so long. Now they have settled down for the time being. I don't think that woman has anything to be ashamed of." Lu Xuan shook his head and cursed: "But the ugly words are ahead. We are here to ask for help at any time." Those who are fighting, if one day there is a war and one of the legs is weak and holds the brothers back, don't blame me for being unkind."

"Du Tong, don't you want to keep any of them? These kiln ladies are all very tight. They are different from the women we usually see. I heard they are very good at serving others." The confidant said with a smile.

"I won't fight for women with my brothers. You go and settle those kiln ladies, and then call the brothers over. If something happens," Lu Xuan shook his head and said.

"Yes!" The confidant walked away excitedly.

"Brother, isn't this good? Didn't you say that our team won't commit rape and plunder?" Lu Chao looked at Lu Xuan worriedly.

"That's what they do. It's not that they don't give money. They haven't been able to provide a home for the brothers for the time being. We can't even deny women, right?" Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "But the Wang family is quite interesting. They are giving away a group of kiln sisters. What do you mean by coming here?"

"You probably think that brother has never seen a woman, right?" Lu Chao looked at Lu Xuan uncertainly: "Brother seems to be very familiar with these?"

"I heard it, hey, I heard it, go do something quickly, don't say you don't have these things, if you want, you can go there, they will definitely let you go first." Lu Xuan said dissatisfied.

"Brother, I am a scholar." Lu Chao said dissatisfied.

"So what? He's not a monk." Yang Chong said confused.

"He is a serious person." Lu Chao snorted coldly.

"You mean we are not?" Yang Chong felt confused.

"I..." Lu Chao shook his head depressedly: "I'm going to do something. Brother Yang, if you have nothing to do, go find the others and bring them over."

"Ah Chao has become a lot bolder recently, but he always feels more and more like those scholars." Yang Chong looked at Lu Chao's back and frowned.

"Originally, let's go recruit people." Lu Xuan nodded, and he had a direction. The Confucian feeling in Lu Chao was getting stronger and stronger, and he might soon find the way. This is a good thing.
