Demon of the Three Kingdoms

() Lv Rui took Dian Wei and Xin Pi in a carriage, followed Cao Cao to Danyang to recruit troops.Xu Shu and Hua Tuo returned to Fan County, Xu Shu was going to assist Guoyuan in governing Fan County, and Hua Tuo was going back to do his drug research.Originally, Cao Cao didn't want Lu Rui to follow him, but Lu Rui rolled on the ground to see the prosperity of Xuzhou. Cao Cao had no choice but to take Lu Rui and his party there, but Lu Rui couldn't go to Danyang. Being able to wait for Cao Cao at Xiapi in Xuzhou, Lu Rui nodded. Anyway, his goal is not Danyang, but Xuzhou!

After Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun arrived at the boundary of Xuzhou, they separated from Lu Rui.Lu Rui took Dian Wei and Simpi into Xuzhou City, and when he entered Xuzhou City, Lu Rui was shocked, Xuzhou's wealth is indeed the number one among the big men!The prosperous scene of Linzi, the capital of Qi State, was sweating like rain, which is the portrayal of Xiapi City in Xuzhou today.

Lu Rui walked around the market in Xiapi, bought a lot of Xuzhou specialties, and went to the most famous restaurant in Xuzhou, Wangyulou, for dinner.

When Xiaoer saw the people in gorgeous costumes, he immediately went up to meet them, and said with a smile, "Who are the guest officers? Is there a box upstairs? Please?"

Simpi looked at Xiao Er, and said: "There are only so many of us, you can figure it out, you want the best food and drinks, and you want a spacious place, my son likes a big place, it would be better if you can enjoy the scenery gone."

As soon as Xiao Er heard it, he immediately responded: "Okay, I understand, distinguished guests, please go to the top floor."

Then Xiaoer flicked the sweat towel and shouted: "The honored guest on the top floor, please treat me well!"

Lu Rui and his party of more than 20 people went up to the lobby on the top floor and basically covered the top floor. Then the child introduced to Lu Rui the special dishes of Wangyulou. Wangyulou, as the name suggests, fish is the main dish, especially whole The fish feast is the specialty here. Lu Rui likes fish the most, so he immediately ordered a whole fish feast, as well as Xuzhou's special dishes.

"Hoohoo!" Lu Rui rubbed his stomach, feeling very full. Although Dahan doesn't have as many condiments as later generations, some jams made with natural fruits and vegetables are quite good, filling in the lack of condiments. The dishes have a refreshing meaning, which makes Lu Rui very satisfied.

Just when Lu Rui was about to taste tea and wanted to see the beautiful scenery here, the shopkeeper suddenly came up and smiled at Lu Rui and said, "Guest officer, are you satisfied with the wine and food in our shop?"

Lu Rui nodded and said: "It's delicious, not bad. I have been to many places to taste food, and the dishes here are really good. Wangyulou really deserves its reputation!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, you are welcome. I don't know what else you need. If you don't need it, the top floor of the guest officer's shop will be closed. Please, guest officer, go to the box downstairs to have tea. This small shop will call you fold?"

Lu Rui took a look and glanced at the shopkeeper. What do you mean?It's broad daylight, closing time?

Simpi yelled at the side: "Bastard, do you know who our son is? We are closed during the day? Don't spoil our son's elegance, or you will look good!"

As soon as Xin Pi finished speaking, Dian Wei took out his double halberds and put them on the table, and the rest of the guards pulled out their swords, and the shopkeeper immediately knelt down and said in a choked voice: " Guest officer, I know you are a distinguished guest, but the people who come this time are really not easy to mess with, and this is the case in Xuzhou." After finishing speaking, he held out his thumb.

When Lu Rui heard it, he smiled in his heart, Xuzhou Haoqiang?I want to see, Lu Rui took a sip of tea, blinked and said, "I'm not leaving!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he became anxious and bowed to Xin Pi: "Sir, please persuade your young master, it is Mi Zhu from Xuzhou's Mi family who is here to entertain Chen Deng, the son of the Chen family. If you don't leave, I'm afraid meeting?"

When Lu Rui heard this, he waved his small wooden sword and said, "I won't leave, I still want to play here. Whoever chases me, I will ask someone to cut him down!"

When Dian Wei heard this, he slapped it immediately, smashing the small tea table beside him into pieces.The shopkeeper looked at it and was so anxious that he was sweating and said: "Guest officer, look, this meal in the small shop is considered to be from our Wangyulou. Guest officer, no money will be charged, no money will be charged!"

Lu Rui just smiled and continued to play with the wooden sword in his hand.

Suddenly, a sharp voice came over, "Shopkeeper, why haven't the people upstairs left yet? My young master and Chen's young master are coming soon, why don't you hurry up?"

Following the voice, I saw a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks leading a group of servants coming up. The shopkeeper saw it and ran over quickly, saying: "Hi Butler Mi, this, this customer is not willing to leave."

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Rui, and said in a low voice, "Butler, it seems that the other party is not easy to mess with!"

The butler looked at Lu Rui, and then said loudly: "The one who doesn't have eyes? Today our young master met the Chen family's young master by chance, and he wants to come here to reminisce about the old days and discuss Xuzhou's business plans. Who are you? How dare you fight with us?" right?"

When Lu Rui heard it, hey, the Mi family?Sure enough, it is a rich family, a wealthy party, and the tone is really loud, Lu Rui smiled and said: "It's evil, I heard that there is no dog, I still want to enjoy the beautiful scenery."

When Dian Wei heard this, he wiped his mouth. Well, it’s time to fight. This old Dian likes to do it the most. Dian Wei jumped in front of the steward. Looking at the huge Dian Wei, the steward said tremblingly. : "You, you, what are you going to do? Let me tell you, I am the housekeeper of the Mi family!" After speaking, he straightened his back, looking arrogant.

Dian Wei yelled, raised the butler's hands, threw it, and threw it downstairs. The servants of Mi's family were shocked when they saw it, and only heard a bang, and the servants rushed downstairs, no one wanted to Be the second dead man!

When the shopkeeper saw it, he was stunned, and sat slumped on the side, muttering: "It's over, the Mi family won't let me go!"

On the other hand, the Mi Zhu brothers and Chen Deng were escorted by the guards and came to the Wangyu Tower. There were crowds watching in front of the building. Is it the butler of Mi Zhu's family?How did you die?

At this time, the servants of the Mi family ran out like dogs. When Mi Fang saw it, she quickly grabbed a servant and asked, "What's going on? Why did the housekeeper die? Who did it?"

The servant said hesitantly: "Second Master, there is a group of people above, the leader is a five-year-old boy, with people, who seem to be from the army, and a sturdy big man, very powerful, the housekeeper was thrown by him." Downstairs."

When Mi Fang heard this, she was furious, and said: "Whose place is this, someone dares to make trouble with my Mi family? Nainai, I will go forward and kill him!" After finishing speaking, she was about to go up with a knife.

After hearing what the servant said, Mi Zhu stopped Mi Fang and said, "Second brother, stop!"

Mi Fang stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said, "Brother?"

Chen Deng looked at Mi Zhu and said, "Brother Zizhong, it seems that this meal is not delicious!"

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Yuanlong, I've let you down, I'm sorry, let's go up and have a look?"

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Okay, I also want to see when someone will be released in Xuzhou, brother Zizhong!"

Afterwards, under the leadership of the servants, the three of Mi Zhu came to the top floor of the restaurant.I saw a child wielding a wooden sword indiscriminately, and there were a scribe and a sturdy guard beside him. They should have killed the housekeeper.

Mi Zhu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Young master, I'm in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu, I don't know where my housekeeper has offended you, and died unexpectedly?"

Lu Rui looked at Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu, a big businessman from the Three Kingdoms, was fair-looking, with a pretty face. Lu Rui said, "He came to chase us away before we finished eating, so he should die!"

When Mi Fang heard it, it became popular, where did the child come from, to show off in Xuzhou, the Mi family's territory?Mi Fang was about to get angry, but Chen Deng grabbed Mi Fang and motioned for her not to move.Mi Fang looked at Chen Deng and stopped.

When Mi Fang heard this, the housekeeper must be relying on her own power to run amok outside. She had already reminded him that there is no place on the top floor of the Wangyu Building, so she can change to another place. This time, she met someone who can take care of him. Look at this kid. Stance, definitely not easy!

Mi Fang cupped her hands and said: "This is my housekeeper's fault, but this young master, who kills people in the Xuzhou area, will be punished by the law. Little children are ignorant, but the servants around him will have to bear the responsibility! "The tone changed from understatement to harsh words. After finishing speaking, he looked at Simpi. This person should be a housekeeper.

Simpi cupped his hands and said: "This gentleman is right, but I just want to ask whether the law of the gentleman is the law of Xuzhou or the law of the big man?"

When Chen Deng heard it, a master, it is definitely not easy to say this!Mi Zhu was also taken aback, then cupped his hands in the direction of Luoyang and said, "Naturally, it is the law of the great man." Although Dong Zhuo was messing with the government, the court was still the court, and the man was still the man.

After hearing this, Simpi cupped his hands and said: "In this case, my son has not violated the law. Just now this person spoke disrespectfully and committed the following offenses, intending to hurt my son. My son is the Marquis of Qi. How can it be possible to dispose of a person's right?" Are they all gone?" After finishing speaking, he lit up the token!

Mi Zhu looked at Lu Rui, the Marquis of Qi, is he Lu Rui, the Marquis of Qi?Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Xuzhou Mi Zhu has seen Lord Hou, the housekeeper is rude, please forgive me."

Chen Deng and Mi Fang also came over to pay their respects to Lu Rui, and after Xin Pi returned the gift to Lu Rui, the three of them sat down, Mi Fang looked at it, and shouted: "Shopkeeper, remove the food and drink, and serve new ones! "

Seeing this sudden change, the shopkeeper in the corner immediately responded, "Well, second master, wait, we'll go to Cai right away!"

The three of Mi Zhu and Lu Rui used some more dishes. After the dishes were taken away, Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Young Lord, I don't know why the Young Lord came to Xuzhou? Zi Zhong would like to be a landlord. If there is anything you need Where to help, please tell Hou Ye, Zizhong will try his best to do it."

Lu Rui tapped the teacup with his chopsticks and said, "Father Zhong and Uncle Xiahou went to Danyang to recruit soldiers, so I'll come to Xuzhou to play and hunt by the way."

When Mi Zhu heard it, Cao Cao went to Danyang to recruit troops?This is a piece of news that must be told to the lord.Mi Zhu smiled, and then said: "Mr. Cao has worked hard to be loyal to the country. Since Lord Hou has come to Xuzhou, please enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food in Xuzhou. Stay a few more days so that Zizhong can enter the land of landlords." friendship."

When Lu Rui heard it, what was Mi Zhu going to do?Treat yourself so well?Showing affection for nothing?Even if I am a Marquis, to Mi Zhu, it is just a bit more noble. Is there anyone who is so flattering?Lu Rui fiddled with the wooden sword in his hand and said, "I'll play here for a few days, and when I get bored, I'll go to Zhongfu. You don't have to worry about me."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, Lu Rui seemed to ignore him?Chen Deng met, then cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Lord Hou likes to play Go? Yuan Long also likes to play games. I wonder if Lord Hou can show you some face and play a few games with me?"

When Mi Zhu heard it, it turns out that Lu Rui likes to play games?Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Since Lord Hou likes to play games, how about playing a few rounds with Lord Hou?"

When Lu Rui heard it, Chen Deng actually knew that he likes gambling?Could it be that there are spies in Suanzao?Lu Rui looked at the two of them and said, "I don't just gamble casually, I only gamble when there is a stake in the game."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he said, "Okay, Lord Hou, how about we bet each game with ten thousand taels of gold? You can play as many games as Hou Ye wants."

When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned, nainai, the gold of the Eastern Han Dynasty was real gold, not the brass gold of the Tang Dynasty.1 taels per game?Although the gold in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not very valuable, it was also a great fortune, a big deal, an absolute big deal!No wonder Liu Bei failed many times in the future and relied on Mi Zhu to turn around again. It really is not easy, history is true, and the wealth of the Mi family is really unpredictable!

Lu Rui shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm out to play, and I don't bring so much money with me."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Hou is a guest, how can you let Master Hou pay for it? If Master Hou wins, the gold will belong to Master Hou. If Master Hou loses three games in a row, Master Hou should promise Zi Zhong and you Yuanlong has a request."

Here comes the important point, the important point is the request, Lu Rui scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "What do you want, is it my life?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, he burst out laughing, and then said: "Master Hou is joking, if Zizhong or Yuanlong wins the three rounds of Master Hou, please open the commercial market in Fan County, and allow our two caravans to enter the market." Fan County is resting, we will discuss the tax money later, I wonder what Lord Hou thinks?"

When Lu Rui heard it, hey, Xiaomi Mi?You want to do business with me, well, since that's the case, I'll play with you!The Chen family and the Mi family are big merchants, especially the Mi family, which has a large caravan, but because of the war in the Han Dynasty, the land is not peaceful, so they switched to sea trade, but the sea is far away, so it is better to save time on land. Caravans generally need to find a city and establish a chamber of commerce there for rest and supplies. Now the centers of Qingzhou and Yanzhou are being plundered by yellow scarves. Yuanyuan is well managed, and the terrain and defense are also in place. It has become a transit point for many hopes from the north and the south, but because there is no way out, they can only give up.Now that the two have encountered such a good opportunity, how can they let it go?

Thinking of this, Lu Rui clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I don't need to write the book, come on, come on, come on, make a written note, and we will start the game."

Seeing Lu Rui's happy expression, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng looked at each other, and then Mi Zhu said: "Then I will play with Lord Hou."

Then the two started to play chess, let the water go, Mi Zhu let the water go, lost three games in a row, and lost to Lu Rui.Mi Zhu arched his hands and said, "Master Hou, Zizhong is not as good as Lord Hou, let Yuanlong come."

Chen Deng glanced at Mi Zhu, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, please advise!"

Lu Rui waved his hand and said, "Come on, come on, hurry up, I still want to win money!"

Chen Deng nodded, and started playing chess with Lu Rui. After three hours, it was almost evening, and the final result came out. Lu Rui won two games and lost three games!

After the servant finished counting, Chen Deng smiled and said: "Master Hou, Yuanlong is not talented, and he won three rounds of Lord Hou. Please forgive me."

Lu Rui waved his hand and said, "If you win, you win. I'll do business with you. I'm hungry and I want to eat."

When Mi Zhu heard this, he quickly asked the shopkeeper to prepare dinner, and the shopkeeper went away in response. Unexpectedly, he didn't cause trouble and got a good business!

When the shopkeeper was preparing dinner, Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, I don't know how much the Lord Hou thinks about customs clearance and commercial tax? Are we following the old one? Or?"

Lu Rui patted the table and said, "Why so much nonsense, tax money? I think it's only one penny a month, and it's fine to double it every month. Why do you need so much tax money?"

When the two heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and Simpi was also taken aback. A penny?Doubling every month?This is too little, Xin Pi hurriedly said: "Master Hou cleared the customs and paid taxes?"

Lu Rui looked at Simpi and said, "Little fart, I can make my own decisions about taxes!" After speaking, he waved his fist.Xin Pi kept silent, Lu Rui is not easy to provoke, if he is angered, he may not even save his life, anyway, trade is also conducive to the development of Fan County, as for the tax money for customs clearance, I believe the Chen family and the Mi family will It's too little for a penny. "

Chen Deng and Mi Zhu looked at each other, this is too rare!Mi Zhu hurriedly said, "Second brother, quickly calculate the tax for the first year." "

After Mi Fang received the order, she immediately took out her abacus, did the math, and said, "Brother, the tax money for the first year is less than [-] Wen!"

Chen Deng and Mi Zhu said at the same time, "Thank you, Lord Hou, how about the 20-year trade agreement between my two families and Lord Hou?"

Lu Rui waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up and serve, 20 years will be 20 years, don't talk so much nonsense!"

The two of Chen Deng quickly thanked them, then ordered someone to write the contract and handed it to Lu Rui. Lu Rui looked at the two of them and said, "No, what if you don't pay me taxes?"

When Mi Zhu heard this, hehe, he is still a child, afraid that we will not pay taxes?Mi Zhu arched his hands and said, "Master Hou, if we don't pay the tax, you can seize our goods and mortgage the commercial tax!"

When Lu Rui heard this, he nodded, and then Chen Deng and Mi Zhu wrote this on the contract. After Lu Rui showed Simpi the contract, he stamped the seal of Marquis of Qi, and Chen Deng and Mi Zhu also stamped it. On the copper seals of the two Patriarchs!The contract takes effect!

Seeing that Mi Zhu and Chen Deng had succeeded, they immediately began to flatter Lu Rui. Lu Rui was just arguing about eating, and the two smiled at each other. After having dinner with Lu Rui, they left, and Lu Rui and the others also returned. the inn.

At night, the more Xin Pi thought about it, the more wrong it became. It seems that Lu Rui deliberately lost to Chen Deng in today's game between Lu Rui and Chen Deng. I have seen Lu Rui's chess skills before, and I didn't perform well today. Is there a problem?

Afterwards, Simpi took out the paper and began to calculate the tax. After counting a few pages of paper, Simpi was stunned, and the paper slipped from his hand. This tax is more than the wealth of the big man!

At this time, Lu Rui was sitting on the bed dreaming: Hey, idiot, idiot, do you know how powerful 2 to the nth power is?Haha, 2 to the 20th power is two years, when the time comes to see how you pay taxes!
