.    Chapter 360: Mi Zhendong, Lu family twins

    After seeing the two people in the ink painting clearly, Lu Lingqi, no matter how slow her reaction was, still had some clues. She immediately frowned and said, "If you don't get it from the truth, who made this painting?"  "

    Seeing this, Mi Zhen could only blush and whisper, yes, it was painted by my younger sister.  ihong.¡±

    "Oh? Is there such a skill?" Lu Lingqi was not good at women's beauty and poetry painting. Seeing that Mi Zhen, a girl who was much younger than her, actually had such skills, she asked in surprise how well this painting looked like her husband's.  "Similar." Without going into details, when was this painting painted?

    Mi Zhen had no choice but to lower her head and tell her about delivering food to Zhen Yao. On that day, she was appointed by Zhen Yao to be in charge of the business here.  The eldest brother Mi Zhu has been dissatisfied with her business since she was a child. Now that Zhen Yao supports her, the girls of the Mi family can't help but feel strange, and this painting came out by accident.

    Lu Lingqi listened to this matter like a story, but she didn't express her position after that. She knew in her heart that her husband was going to harm an innocent woman again, but she couldn't help but smile to herself, fearing that there would be another one when he returned to Wuji.

    Mi Zhen didn¡¯t see any expression from Lu Lingqi after she finished speaking, so she could only ask Lingqi in a low voice if she could return this painting to her little sister.  "

    "Here it is, keep this painting for now and look at it when you have free time." Lu Lingqi is very outgoing and has no jealousy. Anyway, she has already seen the painting, so she immediately returned it to Mi Zhen and said that the top priority now is  Trying to figure out a way to deal with the current troubles, we arrested a group of troublemakers yesterday, but we can't make any more trouble today.  "

    When it comes to business matters, Mi Zhen can¡¯t help but nod her head to reassure herself that her little sister had already thought of a countermeasure last night.  "With that said, she and Lu Lingqi walked out of the inner room and came to the front hall of the mansion.

    When we came to the front hall, several chief secretaries of the Mi family were already standing on both sides. When one of them saw the second daughter walking in from the side door, he stepped forward and bowed to salute. The money you asked us to prepare is already ready." He said  He pointed to the box beside him. The lid of the box was open, and inside it was either gold or copper and iron currency.

    Mi Zhen is a little weak in front of Lu Lingqi, but she is very authoritative in front of the servants. Can you do it? Now I will tell you what I need to do next. You must arrange it for me within three days." Send it to the hall immediately  Seven or eight heads of the Mi family assigned tasks, and the latter obeyed them all. This shows that Mi Zhen girl is very important in her own business.

    After asking the first officer to explain clearly, Mi Zhen turned to Lu Lingqi and said, let's go too.  "

    "Where are we going?" Lu Lingqi couldn't help but ask as she walked out of the house bought by the Mi family in Xiapi City.  She was actually a little curious. She had heard the arrangement Mi Zhen had mentioned just now, but she didn't know that it had anything to do with settling the bargain price.

    Mi Zhen smiled after hearing this and we went to visit the second brother of Prefect Cheng. Yesterday, my younger sister sent someone to inquire. He was the one who controlled the most shops in Xiapi City.  His Cheng family and my Mi family have business dealings with each other, so even this post of prefect was taken up by my eldest brother¡¯s recommendation.  "Although she is a little girl, Mi Zhen also has a lot of tricks in business and officialdom.

    The two of them rushed to the Cheng Mansion with only a team of female guards. The head of the Cheng Mansion, the younger brother of the current prefect, learned that the visiting person was the daughter of the Mi family and the wife of the new master of Xuzhou, Zhen Yao.  He quickly left the house to greet him.  Compared to others, he had learned from his elder brother the purpose of the two women's coming here as early as last night, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

    Arriving in front of the Cheng Mansion, Mi Zhen dismounted and said with a smile, Uncle Cheng, Mi Zhen is disturbing you.  "

    "My nephew is joking. My uncle is naturally happy that my nephew can come." Cheng Hong, the second oldest son of the Cheng family, also greeted Mi Zhen with a smile. After greeting Mi Zhen again, he turned his attention to Lu Lingqi. I think this general woman is me, a commoner in Xuzhou.  The mistress.  After Cheng Hong's death, Tian became a merchant and layman in Xuzhou.  "

    Lu Lingqi was not interested in this. She was only responsible for protecting Mi Zhen's safety. She nodded politely without saying a word.  Although the girl from the Lu family was a bit arrogant, Cheng Hong didn't dare to feel dissatisfied. He still invited the two girls into the house with a smile, and even the female guards were entertained by the servants in the house.

    Cheng Hong led his two daughters to the living room of the mansion. After delivering the food to the servants, he sat across from the two daughters.  As soon as he sat down, he asked Mi Zhen's niece why she came this time, and his uncle also heard about it.  But if you need help with anything, your niece might as well speak up.  "

    Although Mi and Cheng's family were in love, the reason why Cheng Hong spoke so confidently was mainly because of Lu Lingqi, who sat silently next to Mi Zhen. The person behind her was a very popular figure in the current generation.  Extremely Zhenyao.

    Mi Zhen also understood this, but she never did a loss-making business. She immediately smiled and said that Zhen was not asking her uncle to do a loss-making business, but to discuss a profitable business with his uncle.  "

    Originally, Cheng Hong planned to have a relationship with Lu Lingqi or Zhen Yao even if he lost money, but now that he heard Mi Zhen say that there is money to be made, he became even more interested.?What is buying and selling?  Things are not peaceful in Xiapi City now. Even those who are driving up prices are now unable to do business, and looting and vandalism have occurred not just once or twice.  "

    Mi Zhen naturally understands what Cheng Hong said. The second daughter saw a good show just after entering the city a few days ago, so naturally she will not miss this.  But the more this happened, the more cunning light shone in Mi Zhen's eyes. Because of this, I went to find my uncle.  If my uncle can trust Mi Zhen and act like this, he will definitely be able to earn a lot of money in a short time.  "

    Although Cheng Hong has no official talent, his business acumen is absolutely first-rate. After hearing what Mi Zhen said, he was so impressed that he immediately nodded and was willing to put on a good show with the Mi family.  With the support of the Cheng family, Mi Zhen has the confidence to stabilize the commercial prices in Xiapi.

    And just an hour after Mi Zhen came out of the Cheng Mansion, many merchants in Xiapi City who were guarding their shops but did not dare to open their shops got the news that the Cheng family had sold all the land and shops in the south of the city.  This move of the Cheng family can be said to have affected the minds of countless merchants in Xiapi, and many people felt an unusual taste from it.

    "Even the Cheng family is not optimistic about the current market and has sold all the land. I think I have to find a buyer quickly to sell the shop." This is what most merchants who got the news can think of.  .

    "The Cheng family started to take the official route and took advantage of the current recession to shrink the business, but it was a good move. How should the store operate? Should it be sold like the Cheng family, or should we continue to wait?" This is  A businessman with a little vision can guess it.  When they think about it, it may not be suitable to follow the Cheng family.

    After excluding these, what is left are the shops and land of the major families in Xuzhou.  Naturally, they will not sell the real estate easily, but they have no choice but to guard the shops that cannot be opened now.

    And just as many merchants were thinking about it, Mi Zhen's second step began.  With the money distributed by Mi Zhen, his clerks and servants began to go to various houses and buy shops one by one.  Even if you can't buy it, you can still ask for the right to use it for half a year by 'renting' it.

    Because this matter was well prepared, the wave of shop buying and selling soon spread to the entire Xiapi County. Two days later, the Mi family and the Cheng family worked together to eliminate 70% of the shops in the sixteen counties of Xiapi.  Hold it in your hand.  Of course, four of these costs belong to two companies, but it is a miracle that the number of shops in the home can be doubled in two days.

    Just as Mi Zhen started planning in an orderly manner, Zhou Yu finally arrived in Shucheng.  As soon as he entered the city, Zhou Yu had a plan in mind and understood what Pang Tong meant.  But even so, he couldn't be happy. After all, the two-day agreement had passed. Zhou Yu had lost the bet, so he would inevitably take a detour when meeting Pang Tong in the future.

    After Zhou Yu entered the city, he went straight to the Lu Mansion. Lu Kang, who was handling official duties in the Prefect's Mansion, immediately rushed home after hearing the report from his subordinates. When he saw Zhou Yu at home, he couldn't help but ask Gong Jin. He was so busy here and seemed to have something urgent.  ?  "

    Zhou Yu nodded, told him about Sun Qian's coming as an envoy, and elaborated on the conditions he gave, the most important of which was the Jiangdong warship drawings.  As we all know, the Lu family in Jiangdong is not only a famous family, but also the descendants of the Lu family have many shipbuilding talents. Most of the warships used in Jiangdong today are made by the Lu family.

    Sun Jian has been at war since he took charge of Jiangdong, but his naval warships and equipment are comparable to the well-funded and unimpeded Jingzhou navy. Among them, the Lu family naturally deserves the most credit for their hard work.

    "Zhen Yao has just captured Xuzhou, and he wants to attack my Jiangdong warships?" Lu Kang frowned when he heard this. No one would be willing to transfer his advanced technology to others, let alone Zhen Yao, his 'enemy'.

    When Zhou Yu heard this, he was also quite moved and said that Zhen Yao was always prepared for the rainy day and had a long-term mind in everything he did. Even Yu was not as good as him in many ways.  "

    Lu Kang nodded slightly and asked his lord what he meant by this?  "

    "My lord?" Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said, "My lord, I hope you and I can come up with a plan to get the best of both worlds, but now three days have passed, and even if my lord delays seeing Sun Qian, it will not last long."  So within one day, you and I will definitely plan.  "

    "Since Zhen Yao wants Jiangdong's new warship technology, what's the harm in giving it to him?" A crisp children's voice sounded, but it was very noticeable in this quiet study.  Zhou and Yu heard the sound and went out, only to see two young children, one tall and one short, standing beside the door.

    "Ji'er, Xun'er, don't be rude." After seeing the person clearly, Lu Kang frowned and scolded Zhou Yu. At the same time, he shook his head and smiled at Zhou Yu, making Gong Jin laugh.  This is my son Lu Ji and my eldest nephew Lu Xun.  "

    Zhou Yu waved his hands when he heard this. He was the young son of the Lu family. He was young and heroic, and he had a successor in Ji Ning's family.  "

    "I haven't met General Zhou yet." Lu Kang was happy in his heart, but he still had a sullen face and shouted at the two little kids.

    Lu Xun and Lu Ji looked at each other,The young man was led into the house by his cousin, came to Zhou Yu and saluted together to see General Zhou.  "Afterwards, it is inevitable to pay tribute to Lu Kang.

    Zhou Yu nodded in return, and then asked who of the two of you said what he just said?  "Although, his eyes were directed at the tall Lu Xun. After all, Lu Ji looked too young, he should be about ten years old.

    "That's what I said." I didn't expect Lu Xun to miss him, but little Lu Ji on the side raised his head and said. Just now I took my cousin to see the guests at home, and I heard what my father and the general said.  Unable to hold back for a moment, he opened his mouth.  "

    Lu Kang¡¯s face darkened with the tone of a young adult, and Zhou Yu couldn¡¯t help but laugh.  Perhaps out of curiosity about these two talented boys from the Lu family, Zhou Yu immediately asked you, tell me, why did you give the warship machine to Zhen Yao?  "

    "This is an easy matter," Lu Ji said again in a formal tone. After he finished speaking, he said, "Father, General Zhou, our Jiangdong navy relies on three people to achieve its current prosperity."  "

    "First, superior warships and excellent water weapons; second, military training places such as Poyang and Chaohu that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of warships; third, generals such as Zhou and Gan are familiar with naval warfare, and  There are generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. If one of these three is missing, there will be a loss."

    "On the other hand, Zhen Yao of Jizhou wanted to build a naval army, but most of his subordinates were Northern troops, and there were not many good naval soldiers. It was not known whether he could form an army. Even if the blueprints were given to him, he would order craftsmen to build them according to the blueprints.  Warships also have many inconveniences. There is no place to train troops, and there is no general to lead the troops. The warships he built, Zhen Yao, were just a big toy that wasted money."

    As Lu Ji spoke, the look of confidence on his face became more intense, and Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu felt like they had a sudden enlightenment.  This is a very ridiculous thing. Two people who are over the age of 10 together now have to be rescued by a child who is over ten years old.  And these two people, one is the patriarch of a large family and the other is Koto Shuro, which is even more absurd.

    However, there are already many absurd and bizarre things in this world, so we are not afraid of having one more.  When Lu Ji finished speaking, Zhou Yu first touched his palms and said, "Well done."  It is Yu who is persistent. On behalf of Lord Yu and Bo Fu, I would like to thank Xiaoyu.  "After saying that, he really bent down. Lu Kang couldn't help watching from the side, and quickly supported Zhou Yu, but judging from the joy between his eyebrows, he was obviously very happy.

    In fact, what Lu Ji said was not complicated, but Zhou Yu never thought of this. The more reason was that the shock of this period left him at a loss.  He originally had an IQ of over 150, but now he is estimated to have a passing level of 60 or 70.

    However, after Zhou Yu finished his compliments, Lu Xun spoke again about his uncle, General Zhou, and his nephew had been thinking about this just now, and now he realized that this was not necessarily a bad thing.  The shipbuilding blueprints were sent by Jiangdong. If Zhen Yao actually built the warships according to the blueprints, his warships would definitely be known to our army.  If there is a war in the future, the Jiangdong navy can also use this to take the lead.  "

    "If Zhen Yao took the blueprints and wanted to improve them, we don't have to worry. It took more than ten generations of research from our Lu family to occasionally optimize the performance of warships. Zhen Yao has neither craftsmen who are skilled in building warships nor any  Even if we spend tens of thousands of money to test the water dock, it will be difficult to gain anything. Therefore, no matter what, this blueprint is given as a gift."

    After Lu Xun finished speaking, he stood aside respectfully. Originally, with his calm and talkative character, he would not have spoken on such an occasion, but after seeing his cousin speak, he couldn't help but say what he was thinking.  But that's all. He wasn't as happy as Lu Ji, he just stood quietly in the house.

    "Am I, Zhou Yu, really old?" After the two juniors of the Lu family finished speaking, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask himself, Zhou Yu is only over 20 years old now.  But two days ago, he was scolded by the young Pang Tong, and now the problem in his heart was solved by two little kids. This made Zhou Yu look at the younger generation with admiration.  Looking at the expressions of the two young children of the Lu family, they were even more happy.

    "If these two sons can be taught carefully, they will definitely be able to replace them in the future. It is really a blessing for our lord to have such talents in Jiangdong." For the first time, Zhou Yu had the idea of ??accepting a disciple.  In his opinion, although the Lu family is a famous family, it is still not good at cultivating their children.  If it were all given to someone else, Lu Kang would definitely agree.

    Thinking of this, Zhou Yu asked Lu Kang straightforwardly. When Lu Kang heard that Zhou Yu wanted to take his eldest nephew as his disciple, his face couldn't help but change.  Finally, he looked at Lu Ji and the other two, his eyes gradually becoming firmer. Gong Jin would teach these two bad boys in our family.  Ji'er and Xun'er, why don't you quickly become your disciples?"

    "Lu Ji (Lu Xun, meet the master)" The two children are also smart and smart people. Who is Zhou Yu? He is the number one think tank in Jiangdong. Being able to worship them is what the younger generation in Jiangdong looks forward to most.  Without hesitation, he offered Zhou Yu the apprenticeship ceremony.

    After accepting two good disciples, Zhou Yu finally showed a knowing smile. He had not smiled so heartily for a long time.

    WillLu Xun and the other two helped him up. Zhou Yu sighed and said for a moment that Yu had to rush back to Yinling tonight and it would be inconvenient to take you on the road.  You two can spend a few days together with your family in the city. When my lord returns to the army to build Ye, Yu will come to pick you up.  "

    "That's very good, that's very good." Lu Kang also laughed. "It is very feasible for his nephew to become a disciple of Zhou Yu, both from a political perspective and considering the future of the two younger generations.

    Lu Kang knew in his heart that his body, which had been affected by illness all year round, could no longer survive for a few years, and the Lu family would have to rely on the second child to support him in the future.  But now that the two children are bowing to Zhou Yu, even if they go there in the future, they don't have to worry about their funeral.

    Not Lu Kang. In another time and space, he died a few years ago, and the burden of the Lu family fell on the shoulders of Lu Xun, who was only eleven or twelve years old.  At this moment, he could still hold on for two or three more years. By then, Lu Xun was almost an adult, and even little Lu Ji was in his teens. The Lu family didn't have to worry about having no successor at all.

    Not to mention Jiang Dong's affairs, but said that at this moment, Xu You came to Zhen Yao's whispering protagonist. You have found that the details left by the Cao C¨¤o in the Xiafeng Pengcheng, more than 20 areas. "

    "Cao Cao is worthy of being the ancestor who played espionage in the late Han Dynasty. He is very familiar with this skill." With this thought in his heart, Zhen Yao nodded and said, "Just act according to the opportunity. Remember, you can't alert the snake, nor can you catch them all at once."  "

    Hearing this, Xu You understood the words and showed a deceitful smile. "My lord said, you don't have to worry about it."

    Zhen Yao was still very relieved about Xu You's work, and then asked how the incident in Xia Pi was going?  Mi Zhen and Lingqi, have you been busy these days?  "

    "There have been big moves in Xiapi these days, but you can't understand them." Xu You shook his head and told what the Mi family and Cheng family were doing.  In Xu You's opinion, if he spends such a lavish amount of money to buy a shop, less than half of it will be used in the end. Isn't it just a waste of money?
