Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lu Yan, who was beaming with joy and smiling like a flower, and sisters Lu Pheasant, who had a rare warm smile on their faces, supported the excited Gong family, who had tears of happiness on her face, and walked out of the dining hall, turning back to her room to rest.  The dining hall of the Lu family is very spacious and can accommodate more than thirty people.  At this time, several servants were removing the almost unused sumptuous delicacies from seven low tables, and placing sweet wine on four of the low tables.  Although the Lu family is a businessman, they have always maintained the rule of eating in portions.  In Lu Yuanpeng's memory, this has been the case since he could remember, even though the Lu family's family situation at that time was far less than it is now.  ¡° Moreover, regardless of whether the food is rich or not, or whether it is for entertaining guests, his tableware is extremely exquisite. Even the tableware used by ordinary aristocratic families cannot compare to the Lu family.  Lu Yuanpeng just returned home from the county government in the evening. Lu Ze, Lu Shizhi's brothers, Lu Ying and others who went to Pengcheng to buy had already returned in the afternoon.  Although Lu Wen did not attend the celebration banquet held by Xu Kan for Lu Yuanpeng and others on the excuse of being unwell, and even in front of outsiders, Lu Wen was still very indifferent to Lu Yuanpeng's suppression of the bandits in Suoyang Mountain, but a sumptuous banquet was already prepared at home.  After Shan waited for Lu Yuanpeng to come back, his family gathered together for a banquet to celebrate.  Since she learned that Lu Yuanpeng was assassinated that night and went to Suoyang Mountain to suppress the bandits overnight, Gong, who was worried about Lu Yuanpeng's safety, almost never stopped crying.  It was not until yesterday afternoon that Cao Shen sent someone back with news. The Lu family learned from the county government that Lu Yuanpeng was unharmed. Gong's worry turned to joy. Gong, who was still a little frightened, cursed Lu Yuanpeng in front of Lu Pheasant and Lu Huan.  He swore that when the troublemaker returned home, he would be grounded for several months.  But when Lu Yuanpeng returned home, Mrs. Gong, who had been holding back her anger and waiting to burst out, saw her fifth son. All her anger disappeared. She hugged Lu Yuanpeng and burst into tears. Lu Yuanpeng was covered with snot and tears.  Lu Yuanpeng also had tears in his eyes, feeling very excited in his heart.  If it weren¡¯t for Lu Wen¡¯s dissuasion, Lu Yuanpeng might not have been able to escape for several hours.  After Lu Yuanpeng freshened up, the whole family held a family dinner in the dining hall to celebrate Lu Yuanpeng's safe return.  During the dinner, Lu Yuanpeng told Lu Wen and the Gong family exactly what Xu Kan had appointed him as the county captain. This made the Gong family so happy that she couldn't stop crying.  Gong was both happy and sad, which made Lu Yuanpeng, who originally wanted to make Gong happy, at a loss. After finally finishing the family dinner, Lu Wen asked sisters Lu Pheasant and Lu Huan to help Gong away.  .  In the dining hall, Lu Wen waved away the servants and asked Lu Shizhi to close the door. Only the father and son were left. Lu Wen took a sip of the sweet wine on the table and said softly: "Peng'er, please come again."  I will tell my father in detail about the appointment of Xu Kanzheng as county captain." Lu Yuanpeng knew that Lu Wen was still a little worried about himself and wanted to steer the ship for his son, so he told his father carefully about what he had encountered in the county government.  Come together.  When it was mentioned that Xu Kan followed Xiao He's advice and asked the governor Chunsui for instructions, Lu Shizhi asked Lu Yuanpeng in surprise.  "Fifth brother, if Na Chun Sui is not right, don't you really want to be a county captain?" Lu Yuanpeng nodded and said: "If you only manage a few officers, it's okay for the county captain not to do it." Lu Wen said with appreciation: "Okay.  , You are worthy of being the son of the Lu family! You must have your own rules when doing things, so how can you do things that are just for the sake of fame? As the saying goes, you should take a broad view, and what Peng'er did is very much in line with his father's thoughts.  He said: "I have the same thoughts as my father. How can a man be submissive and have no independent opinions? It's just that there are no county soldiers in Pei County. If Xu Kan formed military soldiers to suppress bandits, even Tu Sui wouldn't be able to take the lead. According to Qin law, this is  It has to be approved by the King of Qin. It seems that this matter may not be possible, which is a pity." Lu Ze shook his head regretfully and added regretfully: "If the fifth brother can be the county captain in Pei County, it will be a pity.  It will be of great benefit to our Lu family to revive their business in Pei County." Lu Yuanpeng shook his head nonchalantly and said, "That's not exactly what the elder brother said." "Does the fifth brother think that this can be done?  Lu Ze was very surprised, as were Lu Wen and Lu Shizhi.  The three of them all looked at Lu Yuanpeng, waiting for his next words.  "Zhongsui is a strong general who is used to fighting in the army. He returned from the southern expedition to Baiyue last time, but now he is wronged as the governor of Sishui County. How can he be willing to guard the place?" "And the King of Qin Yingzheng first unified the six countries.  , It is so high-spirited that it failed in Baiyue, so it is not willing to give up. It will be a matter of time to conquer Baiyue again. "" If Baiyue is conquered again, Sishui County will be a place where the army can transport food, crops and soldiers. If bandits are rampant.  , Wouldn¡¯t it affect the war? How could we not know the power of the war? Now that the land of Qi is at peace, it is not yet stable. The army of the old Qin is intimidating the rest of the Qitian and dare not move lightly.?There were insufficient soldiers in various places and they were unable to mobilize a large army. They were unable to pacify the bandits in Surabaya.  " " At this time, Xu Kan mentioned this matter, which should be in line with Chun Sui's thoughts.  In my opinion, Chun Sui will probably come up with a workaround.  " Lu Yuanpeng's analysis made Lu Ze nod repeatedly. Lu Wen, with his eyes half-squinted and a calm expression on his face, stared at Lu Yuanpeng in deep thought without saying a word. Lu Yuanpeng thought for a moment, looked at Lu Wen and said, "As for reviving my Lu family business,  I also have a good plan to make my Lu family prosperous.  "    "What?  Fifth brother, what good ideas can I use to make our Lu family prosperous?  " Lu Ze leaned forward and asked anxiously. Lu Wen's half-eyes opened suddenly, his eyes flashed, and then they returned to their original state. "This good strategy must first be implemented on the boxes that the eldest brother transported back from Suoyang Mountain.  .  .  .  .  .  .  " Lu Yuanpeng told Lu Ze where the treasure was hidden through Lu Ta in Suoyang Mountain. After Lu Ze received Lu Ying and other servants, when he passed through Suoyang Mountain on his way back, Lu Ze took Lu Shizhi and Lu Ying with him.  The father and son secretly retrieved the treasure and mixed it with the property purchased by the Lu family and transported it back to Peixian County. The thirty or so boxes are now in Lu Yuanpeng's courtyard. Apart from Lu Ying and his son, only four of them, father and son, are involved in this matter.  Lu Ze opened those boxes and took a look at them. They were all filled with gold, jade and coins. There were eighteen boxes of ant noses, ten boxes of knives and cloth, and six larger boxes containing gold and jade.  After a rough calculation, these properties are indeed worth a lot of money, much more than the losses suffered by the Lu family. However, just having money is not enough to rebuild the family business. People in this era also need to have land.  They attach great importance to land. The big families don't look at how much money you have, but how much land you have. For example, Yongchi not only has a wine shop, a carriage shop, and a silk and satin shop in Peixian County, but also monopolizes the slaughtering industry in Peixian County.  The raw meat for restaurants and butcher shops is supplied by Yong Chi. He has a family fortune of hundreds of thousands, and dozens of gangsters under his command. However, he only has dozens of land in his hands. In Pei County, Yong Chi can only be classified as a powerful man.  Category 1. Although Wang Ling¡¯s family property is not much more than that of Yong Chi, Wang Ling owns more than 300 acres of land, and he is regarded as a gentry in Peixian County. Please collect and recommend it!
