Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Yangzhou, Jianghuai area, Shucheng.

Yangzhou, the Jianghuai area is the upper half of Yangzhou occupied by Kou Feng, separated from Jiangdong by a river.At present, Huang Zhong's troops are guarding Shouchun and are responsible for supervising the entire Jianghuai military.

Shucheng is an inconspicuous small city in the Jianghuai area.

But in such a small town, there is a big businessman with a family of thousands of dollars.This businessman's surname is Lu Mingqun. When he was young, he dumped goods all over the place. Today, decades later, he has achieved his current status.

It can be said that he was the first one in the whole family to become rich, and in later generations he will be the so-called rich generation, very shrewd.

A few months ago, Kou Feng called the merchants to Chengdu for the grand meeting, and Lu Qun was there, and he was one of most of the merchants who participated in the southern development.

The shrewd Lu Qun felt a rare respect from Kou Feng's attitude towards businessmen, and thus felt Kou Feng's determination. As for whether Chu's army can handle the group of indigenous people in the south.

That's even more of a problem.

Therefore, Lu Qun came forward and organized a group of small businessmen in Shucheng and some nearby cities, including guards, etc., about three to five hundred people.

Lu Qun dispatched his eldest son to directly participate in it, and led the caravan from Shucheng, then passed through Chengdu, and headed for Nanzhou.Shucheng, in the backyard of a larger mansion.

Lu Qun knelt on the ground, enjoying the baptism of the sun.It is estimated that the caravan led by the eldest son should have left Nanzhong at this time.

"Gold, precious stones, land that has never been visited by merchants, plus the military support of the mighty Chu State. This time, I will be able to return home with a full house."

Under the baptism of the sun, Lu Qun comfortably narrowed his eyes, looking forward to it.

"Master, Chen Xue is asking to see you outside."

At this moment, the house slave came in from the outside and reported.

"Chen Xue?" Lu Qun was surprised at first, and then slowly remembered who it was.Merchants have excellent memories, but they also have to be in a certain position.With Lu Qun's current status, it's not bad to be able to think of a small person slowly.

The so-called Chen Xue is also a businessman, but he is not even a small businessman.He is a cloth seller and keeps a shop in the city to make a living.

However, because of business contacts, I met Lu Qun a few times.Usually, it seems to be relatively low-key.

"Please sit down in the hall and say hello."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qun said.Although the other party is really a small person, they still have business dealings after all, and Lu Qun treats business partners with great respect.

"No." The servant promised, turned and walked out.

Not long after the house slave left, Lu Qun also got up and walked out, and soon arrived at the hall.

In the hall, sitting a person, a middle-aged man.He is of medium build and looks unremarkable.This is Chen Xue.

"I met Mr. Lu."

When Lu Qun walked in, Chen Xue clasped his fists and said.

"Mr. Chen is too polite." Lu Qun smiled back, and then went straight to the first seat and sat down.After finishing, he asked: "I don't know why Mr. Chen came to find the old man?"

Chen Xue didn't answer immediately, but with a flash of his eyes, he got up and walked outside the door. After looking around, he knelt down and returned to his original position. Mr. Lu."

Lu Qun originally thought of Chen Qun as an ordinary person, so it would be no big deal if he saw him.

But just now when Lu Qun saw Chen Xue being so cautious, he seemed afraid that the walls would have ears.I was shocked, knowing that it must be a big event, and most likely nothing good will happen.

When Chen Qun said that there was a fortune, the shrewd Lu Qun already knew that this guy had a problem, and there was a big problem.

A fortune.

With Lu Qun's current status, he is a person who has accumulated thousands of dollars.Who else dares to say, send a fortune?In the world, there are four people who are qualified to say that.

The first is Kou Feng, the son of Chu, the second is Cao Cao, the third is Ma Teng, and the fourth is Han Sui.

Among these people, there is no need for Chu Tianzi Kou Feng to send someone to tell him that, and he is also in the territory of Chu State. Even if there is something for him to do, he can just issue an edict.Don't be so secretive.

Then the rest are Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui.So there are big things, not good things.Most of these people are spies and the like.

Lu Qun's heart was shocked, but his face remained calm, and he looked at Chen Xue casually.

The identity is also not conspicuous.This is the best candidate for a spy.

"Oh? How do you say that?" After a while, Lu Qun showed some interest and said.

"Mr. Cao is in the north. He is a man of great talent and strategy, far superior to Kou Feng. The soldiers under his tent are strong and strong, especially the cavalry, which is far better than that of Chu State. However, Cao Gong is also afraid of one thing in Chu State, which is the Chu book. Now Kou Feng announced that Selling the production technology of the Chu Shu by a thousand gold is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm. Cao Gong is very happy and eager to get the Chu Shu technology. As long as the husband can offer it with both hands, Cao Gong will be very happy, and he will be generous with the title and salary."

Speaking of this, Chen Xue raised his head to look at Lu Qun, and said word by word: "Mr. went to Chengdu and donated generously. It's just for the title of the great concubine of the Chu State. What Cao Gong bestowed generously must be the princes. .How many generals chose to serve in the battlefield, looking for a Marquis from thousands of miles away. Now, the Marquis position is right in front of the eyes of Mr., and it is at your fingertips."

After saying these words, Chen Xue's identity has been revealed undoubtedly.It was under the order of Cao Cao that he lobbied businessmen such as Lu Qun to obediently offer the craftsmanship of Chu Shu, so as to achieve the goal of strengthening the country.

To be honest, Chen Xue's words are also very clever.First, I mentioned that Cao Caoxiong's talent is rough, far better than Kou Feng.The strength is also far better than that of Chu.

Then, there is the temptation.

Only a long-term country and the title it owns can be long-term.

To be honest, Lu Qun was really moved.Marquis, although Dashuchang is also among the many titles, it is second only to Liehou and Guanneihou's titles.

But even one small step makes a huge difference.

If Lu Qun was the Marquis of Guannei, people would call him Marquis Lu when they saw him.If Lu Qun is a lieutenant and has a fief, for example, in Shucheng.

Then others will call it Shuhou.

What an honor it is.However, Lu Qun soon calmed down. Chen Xue's words were undoubtedly very brilliant, but they had a fatal weakness.

Cao Caoxiong is rough?That's right, if the people who can conquer the Quartet and unify Hebei and the Central Plains were not talented and bold, how could they have achieved what they are today?

Therefore, Lu Qun does not deny this point.But the problem is that Cao Wei is not as powerful as imagined, and the cavalry is far better than Chu, which is true.

However, the state of Chu also has strong passes and dangerous places, and the navy is strong.It is the deep mountains and dangerous obstacles, boating in the rivers and lakes.It is also strong in soldiers and strong in horses, not weaker than Wei Guo.

Chen Xue used the strength of the cavalry to far surpass Chu.To mislead Lu Qun, but also its fatal weakness.In addition, Wei Guo's title is very worthless.

After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold officials and nobles on a large scale, there were a lot of Liehou and Guanneihou.Then, it is the distribution of heroes.

For example, Cao Ren, his eldest son inherited the title, and then all his sons were enfeoffed as marquises because of Cao Ren's contributions, and Cao Ren's fiefdom was divided up.

Then the eldest grandson, the grandsons of some direct relatives, were also granted the title of Marquis of Guannei.

This is a kindness, but it also further weakens the value of the title.It can be said that if you live in Xudu, you can meet a dozen or twenty Hou Ye when you go out for a walk.

What's the point of that?

On the contrary, in the state of Chu, the control of titles is very strict.In addition to the meritorious deeds of the founding of the country, the emperor and the sons.None are blessed.

There is no encapsulation either.

In terms of value, the lieutenants in the Wei state are not as valuable as the grand masters in the Chu state.

The state of Chu is very powerful, its titles are well controlled, and its value is very high.This is the second reason why Lu Qun calmed down. Besides this, there are two other reasons.

Cao Caoxiong is very talented, but Kou Feng is not necessarily bad, and he is full of blood, and he still has a lot of time to conquer the world.

Another thing is Kou Feng's attitude towards businessmen.

How should I put it, Lu Qun is a businessman at heart.Even if he went to Xudu, he was sealed off.It is estimated that others will also look at him with the attitude of a businessman.

Moreover, he was lured to go because he betrayed the state of Chu.

On the contrary, in the state of Chu, he has the kindness and trust of Kou Feng, and has established a vast network of contacts in the Jianghuai area for decades.There is such a prominent title as Dashuchang.

Go to Wei, shit.

The above four points made Lu Qun completely calm down.

Now he no longer wants to go to Wei State to do the work of Lord Hou, but thinks about how to catch this guy and further attack Cao Wei's spies in the Jianghuai area.

It is precisely that he would rather be the eldest son of Chu than the prince of Cao Wei.

"Liehou is a good title. However, sir, I also know that I have established a large business in Jianghuai for decades, so I just gave up and took my family to Cao Wei. It's a pity. After arriving in Cao Wei, How to survive?"

Lu Qun deliberately showed a hesitant look, and said.When he was speaking, there was some brilliance in his eyes from time to time.

This expression is not used for indecision, but to clearly tell others that they need to bargain.

Chen Xue did not suspect him.A hint of understanding flashed across his face, he smiled slightly, raised his fist and said: "Don't worry, sir, apart from the distinguished title, the prime minister will also reward you with property and land to support you and your family."

"How many households are there?" Lu Qun asked even more greedily.

Seeing that Lu Qun was advancing an inch, Chen Xue still kept a smile on his face, but he cursed secretly in his heart, "Kill Shang".However, even so, you can't turn your face.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Liehou of about five hundred households."

Even though Liehou has depreciated, it still has a certain value in Cao Wei.Five hundred households or less is easy to deal with, and more than five hundred households is more difficult.

In fact, Chen Xue got the order from above, just to lure him.Chen Xue didn't know exactly how many households Liehou could seal.About the five hundred households, Chen Xue made up nonsense.
