I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 233: Tiger Father and Dog Son
Quanrou persuaded, "We are not alone. We have Honglu Qing and Zhou Gong as our backup, so what do we have to fear?"

Zhou Hui also spoke at this time: "We are not waiting to oppose the New Deal, nor to oppose General Anton, but to counter the bullying of us by the Yingchuan people and the Runan people... My father will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. .”

Not long after Zhou Hui arrived in Luoyang from Lujiang.

His apparent reason was to visit his father, but in fact, it was because his family's land was occupied by people brought by Xun Shuang.

Zhou Hui told about the humiliation he had received in Lujiang and denounced those Yuzhou scholars for occupying their fertile land.

He also had something to say. At first, the victims reclaimed wasteland on their property. After the victims left, wouldn't it be reasonable for them to take back these acres?
According to official documents, these fields indeed belong to them.

After all, Zhou Hui had attracted many followers. He was very eloquent and spoke passionately: "These are all written in the county and temple slips, but those people from Yingchuan and Runan did not recognize them. They actually said that we wanted to get back our own fields. We also need to pay the wages of the victims who originally reclaimed these acres of land!"

So the question becomes, how much should the government spend to hire people?
The scholars who followed Xun Shuang to Yangzhou discovered the story of the Han family when they hired people to manage the Yellow River during the Emperor Cheng's reign, paying two thousand yuan a month... You know, today's ordinary hired workers only pay thirty yuan a day at most, not including food and accommodation. One or twenty dollars a day is a lot.

"This is two thousand dollars, enough to buy an acre of middle land. Most of the victims will leave in the coming year. During this time, men, women, old and weak all have to pay monthly wages!"

"It's just too much!"

Lu Jun's waist softened - "What Mr. Quan said makes sense..."

Zhou Yu even persuaded him to take the initiative to contact the big families in each county and take the lead in donating the acres reclaimed by the victims to avoid causing disasters for the clan.

Even Lu Jun, who originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, got angry after hearing this.

On the contrary, his younger brother Zhou Yu, who was accustomed to putting on airs when he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, actually became friends with that generation.

Seeing this, Quanrou sneered in her heart, Lu Kang was such an outstanding person, but he had such a dog.

Zhou Hui's anger was not fake. Apart from the fact that his family's land was occupied, Zhou Hui had once served as the order of Luoyang. Later, he resigned for some reason and returned to Lujiang. He made friends with guests and followers. Who dared to despise him?
But those Yingchuan and Runan people dared.

"Gong Yi, this is all for the elders of my hometown!" Quan Rou interrupted Lu Jun and asked the others, "How can we just sit back and watch our fellow villagers being bullied by outsiders?"

"It's absolutely true!" "That's exactly what it is!" "What the Duke said is absolutely true!"

And those people from Yingchuan and Runan were also deceived.

"Besides, there is nothing about the crime of neglecting farmland, or the crime of backpaying land rent... There is no need to hesitate to inflict crimes!"

Thinking about it again, Zhou Hui's words seemed to make sense.

In fact, losing these acres of land is painful for the Zhou family in Lujiang, but it will not break the muscles and bones.

After speaking, Zhou Hui was so angry that he looked ferocious, and his speech indeed achieved very good results.

"Gong Yi is really a hero!" Zhou Hui said with a laugh.

Listening to the echoes in the room, Lu Jun knew that if he left at this time, he would no longer be able to gain a foothold among this group of people.

He wanted to stand up and refute, but looking at Zhou Hui's expression, he suddenly felt his legs were a little weak.

Lu Jun turned his head and looked at Quan Rou: "Quan Rou, I have always respected you..."

……

But Zhou Hui felt that Zhou Yu was too weak. If he would give the people of Yingchuan whatever they wanted, how could he, Zhou Hui, have the nerve to bring guests between Jiang and Huai in the future?
How can the Zhou family of Shu County be the crown prince of Lujiang County?
……

On the carriage on the way back, Lu Jun was a little confused. What had he done?

Why did he write a private letter to his father with the support of Quan Rou and Zhou Hui?
What he thought at the time was that his father wouldn't care after receiving the letter. But after calming down afterward, Lu Jun wanted to give himself a slap. How could he give the letter to Zhou Hui for delivery at that time!

Lu Jun was worried about whether this matter would have any unpredictable consequences.

He wanted to find someone for help...

But I looked around at a loss.

The next day at the Third Department, he was not assigned any duties and had no energy the whole day.

"Brother Gongyi, why have you been so depressed today? What's on your mind? Maybe I can help you." A slightly childish voice came.

Lu Jun raised his head: "It turns out to be Meng Qi!"

Ma Chao was fifteen or sixteen years old and became a doctor under the emperor's permission. However, due to his background, although he had followed his father to recognize his ancestors, he was also not well received in the Third Department.

Ma Chao's life in the Third Department was very leisurely. He was still young and did not have the worries of other officials who wanted to be promoted as soon as possible. The officials in charge of the Third Department would not rush to arrange affairs for him. He studied and practiced martial arts every day, and occasionally went to talk to some officials.

He is young but very perceptive, and Lu Jun is one of the people he often looks for, because he feels that Lu Jun's attitude towards him is no different from that towards other officials, and he will not look down on him secretly.

Lu Jun still couldn't cheer up and sighed: "My troubles cannot be solved by Meng Qi."

Ma Chao then sighed with Lu Jun for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Gongyi, although I can't solve it, I know someone can definitely solve it!"

"My two younger brothers are both studying at Taixue. My great-uncle who brought me to Luoyang also asked me to go there to study from time to time. The doctors there are not just pretending to be good. There is also a memorial ceremony for Yang Gong. I once paid homage to him with my great-uncle. , I overheard last time that after Cai Gong took office as Taixue, more and more students were recruited, and Cai Gong was planning to select more doctors for Taixue..."

Ma Chao was talking when he noticed that Lu Jun suddenly grabbed his hand.

"What did Meng Qi just say?"

"Let Brother Gongyi find a doctor from Taixue."

"Yes, why did I forget this one!"

Lu Jun thought of his brother-in-law, Gu Yong, who also came from Wu County, Wu County. When he was young, Gu Yong became a disciple of Cai Yong, who lived in seclusion in Wu, and was highly valued by Cai Yong.

With this relationship, Cai Yong shouldn't harm him!

I just don't know if Cai Yong is willing to see him if he visits him rashly.

Thinking of this, Lu Jun jumped up and said: "Meng Qi, go take a leave of absence for me!"

He had been panicking since he came back yesterday. He thought of a life-saving straw and hurriedly grabbed it.

……

Just when Lu Jun was waiting in front of Cai Yong's gate with a hastily written greeting note, Liu Bian was meeting with Jia Xu in the Yuntai Hall.

Zhang Rang was present.

Jia Xu said: "After Zhou Hui came to Beijing from Lujiang County, he continued to contact Yangzhou officials in Beijing, and there were many responders among them."

Liu Bian looked at the list submitted by Jia Xu and asked, "Does Qing Honglu know about this?"

Jia Xu bowed and said, "I don't know."
