Jia Xu felt more and more that he couldn't see through Lu Bu. It must be wrong to simply think that Lu Bu is a general. Lu Bu showed a lot of tricks in Xuzhou. As for the matter of reputation, sometimes who can say for sure? .
Even though he was secretly making suggestions, it still cannot be ignored.
Jia Xu suddenly felt that it might be a good choice to work under a monarch like Lu Bu.
"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Jia Xu cupped his hands, but his expression returned to calm.
"Is there any important news from Yanzhou and Qingzhou?" Lu Bu asked.
"In Yanzhou, the Yellow Turbans are rampant. Yanzhou Shepherd Liu Dai is dispatching troops to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are even more serious. There have been many incidents of Yellow Turbans looting cities." Jia Xu said.
For example, the most rampant yellow scarf is Qingzhou. At this time, Qingzhou.It seems to have become a paradise for the Yellow Turbans. Although the Jizhou Yellow Turbans are powerful, Zhang Yan did not take too many drastic actions after receiving the imperial court's reward.
"In a short period of time, it will be difficult for Liu Dai to pose a threat to Marquis Wen," Jia Xu said.
There was a conflict between the Yanzhou Army and Lu Bu before, but that battle ended in the failure of the Yanzhou Army. Although Liu Dai sent envoys to negotiate peace, compensated Lu Bu, and even recommended Lu Bu as Xuzhou Mu on the table above, these relations is temporary.
The lord Yuan Shao stood up and denounced Lu Bu's behavior, which meant that after Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, he stood on the opposite side of the princes, and it was difficult to get more support in the righteousness. As long as the surrounding princes calmed down, they would definitely attack Lu Bu. This is also inevitable.
Lu Bu snorted coldly, "If Liu Dai dared to come, I wouldn't mind giving him a more painful lesson."
"Marquis Wen is so brave that no one can stop him," Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu said: "Pay close attention to the affairs of Qingzhou and Yanzhou."
"Here." Jia Xu cupped his hands, now he and Lu Bu are both prosperous and hurt, and helping Lu Bu gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou is a top priority.
Immortal jade swept Xuzhou in a crazy manner, which attracted many businessmen to Pengcheng. A new thing can be pursued by dignitaries and nobles, and the profits contained in it are huge, even if they cannot get immortal jade The production method is still profitable to obtain immortal jade at a lower price.
In the following time, the number of caravans in Pengcheng increased a lot. Lu Bu secretly went to the market several times, and he was quite satisfied with the changes in Pengcheng. If this situation continues, more merchants will come to the market Come to Pengcheng to drive the development of Pengcheng.
Xuzhou's family may want to obtain the method of making immortal jade, but the Mi family is in charge of this matter, but it has brought the attraction of each family to it.
Jia Xu is mainly responsible for the affairs of the state pastoral mansion, and Lu Bu, the Xuzhou pastor, is relatively relaxed.
Lu Bu put most of his energy into the army. There are [-] troops outside Pengcheng. This represents Xuzhou's most powerful combat power, and it is also the foundation for Lu Bu to settle down in Xuzhou. In troubled times, the most important thing is strength , Without sufficient strength, it is not safe to be in a high position.
Born in troubled times, Lu Bu will use his greatest efforts to reach a higher position, leaving no regrets in life, and preventing his family from being harmed by the war.
The appearance of the fairy jade brought people to Mi's house in an endless stream, and more of them were businessmen. While the gentry despised Mi Zhu, they were very tempted by the profits from selling the fairy jade.
If it wasn't for the huge power of the Mi family, but only for the appearance of this thing, if the Mi family didn't cooperate, maybe there would be a catastrophe.
In terms of strength and influence, the Mi family in Xuzhou, with the help of Xianyu, went further, especially the marriage between the Mi family and Lu Bu, which temporarily stabilized the position of the Mi family in Xuzhou. If you want to move the Mi family, the first thing you need to consider is the state shepherd government.
"My lord, Zhang Shiping is here." Mi Zhu stepped forward and whispered after seeing Lu Bu.
The dignified state shepherd is so interested in merchants and doing business. If word spreads, it will have a lot of influence on Lu Bu's reputation, although Lu Bu's reputation itself is already very bad.
"Let this person in," Lu Bu said.
Zhang Shiping looked rather vicissitudes of life, his skin was slightly dark, and he was quite strong.
"Grassman Zhang Shiping, meet Marquis Wen." Zhang Shiping saluted, with a slightly excited tone. No matter how famous Lu Bu was, he was Wenhou and Xuzhou Mu of a big man. No matter how rich his family was, Zhang Shiping was a businessman after all. However, it is usually as difficult as going to the sky to see the prefect.
Lu Bu said indifferently: "Get up, you must already know the purpose of this general, right?"
"Mi Biejia has already told the grass people that it is the grass people's honor to be able to do things for Marquis Wen, and the grass people will definitely do their best." Zhang Shiping said.
"What Ben will need is a good war horse, don't pass it off as a good one, otherwise, don't blame Ben for not paying for it when the time comes." Lu Bu laughed.
Zhang Shiping cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, the Caomin have been traveling outside the Great Wall for more than ten years, and they have handled many excellent war horses."
"I don't know how much the war horse costs?" Lu Bu asked, since it was about cavalry in the army, Lu Bu was naturally interested.
Zhang Shiping said: "Ordinary war horses outside the Great Wall can be sold for at least [-] yuan when they arrive in the Great Wall, and excellent war horses can be sold for at least [-] yuan."
Lu Bu had a high status, but Zhang Shiping was a businessman, so he naturally wanted to make more profits, but the price Zhang Shiping gave Lu Bu was already very low.
"The price of an excellent horse is too expensive," Lu Bu said.
"When Marquis Wen opens his mouth, the grassroots will definitely sell it at the lowest price. Excellent war horses can cost thousands of dollars at most," Zhang Shiping said.
Going outside the Great Wall to sell high-quality horses is accompanied by risks. The Xianbei people on the grasslands are extremely arrogant, and things that rob merchants of goods happen from time to time. As for going to their tribe to ask for an explanation, it has nothing to do with death What a difference.
The Xianbei people admire the strong. Over the years, the influence of the Dahan on the grassland has been declining day by day. Even the border county of the Dahan has become a horse farm for the Xianbei people.
Under normal circumstances, the Xianbei people's city will not sell to the merchants, and they also need what the merchants brought from Senei.
Not only the Xianbei people, but also the soldiers guarding the checkpoints also need to be taken care of. Otherwise, the horses purchased with money and goods may be detained by the guards.
"How about [-] yuan a horse?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
Zhang Shiping looked bitter. He bought excellent war horses from the prairie, and with the cost needed for management, the price of a war horse reached about [-] yuan. Who would have thought that Xuzhou Mu would actually start bargaining. It happened that Zhang Shiping didn't know how to say no.
Chapter 44
"This general is from Bingzhou, and he has a certain understanding of the war horses outside the Great Wall." Lu Bu said.
"Okay, as Marquis Wen said." Zhang Shiping said bravely.
"You must have come here this time for the sake of the immortal jade. You could have decided to sell the immortal jade to you for five hundred yuan a piece," Lu Bu said.
Zhang Shiping hurriedly expressed his thanks, the reputation of Xianyu had already spread to the nearby counties, Zhang Shiping happened to be in Yanzhou at that time, after hearing the news, he hurried to Pengcheng.
He has seen Xianyu before. It is small and easy to carry. Under normal circumstances, things that can be yearned for by high-ranking officials and nobles in the Han Dynasty still have a way out on the grassland.
Xianbei people are barbaric, they yearn for the culture and lifestyle of Han people, especially the nobles in Xianbei, they are very good at enjoying life.
Five hundred yuan a piece, the price is already very low, but the price Mi Zhu promised was 580 yuan.
Six hundred yuan a piece, Zhang Shiping also needs a lot. In Dahan, it is worth six hundred yuan a piece. After arriving in the grassland, Zhang Shiping is confident that the price of immortal jade will reach a thousand yuan.
"I wonder how many horses Marquis Wen needs?" Zhang Shiping asked.
"At least a thousand horses."
Zhang Shiping's expression changed. Thousands of horses cost tens of millions of dollars. This shows how expensive it is to build a cavalry.
"The grass people will bring the horses here as soon as possible." Zhang Shiping said, thousands of horses are so many that it is impossible to transport them to Senai at once.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "The sooner the better."
After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Su Shuang was in a good mood. Getting immortal jade at a lower price was not only a matter of gaining more benefits, but also had a lot to do with face.
"Wen Hou gave you a good price. After many merchants came to Pengcheng, they got the price of immortal jade, and the lowest price was 580 yuan." Mi Zhu said.
Zhang Shiping cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Bie Jia, for your introduction. The grassroots will definitely be rewarded."
"If you pay generously, you can avoid it, but you have to worry more about the matter of the war horse." Mi Zhu reminded: "If it's a good one, even if I want to intercede with it, I can't."
Zhang Shiping patted his chest and promised, "Don't drive, don't worry, I, Zhang Shiping, can be regarded as a well-known horse dealer, and I must put my heart into the matter of war horses."
"Marquis Wen will not treat you badly." Mi Zhu smiled.
Zhang Shiping lowered his voice and said: "It is said that the Mi family wants to marry Marquis Wen, I wonder if this is true?"
Seeing Mi Zhu nodding his head, Zhang Shiping couldn't calm down. Lv Bu has a strong military force and is well-known, but the princes of the world have objected to Lv Bu. Not only that, even Dong Zhuo who is in Chang'an must be dissatisfied with Lv Bu. Making such a decision at this time will affect the future fate of the family. If Lu Bu is unlucky, the Mi family will inevitably decline.
Immortal jade, driven by businessmen, became popular in surrounding states and counties. In the eyes of ordinary people, immortal jade is as high as [-] yuan, and nobles don’t care so much. , it is not comparable to other things, the use of immortal jade has become a status symbol.
Many of the exchanges between noble ladies revolved around Xianyu, and even some descendants of aristocratic families had a lot of appreciation for this object.
It's normal for an official to have three wives and four concubines. Whoever is more attractive will naturally attract more attention. In this kind of matter, the lady will spare no effort. Who doesn't want to become more attractive Woolen cloth.
There are more and more businessmen going to Pengcheng. There are fairy jades for sale in Pengcheng, and if you go to Pengcheng, you may be able to get fairy jade at a lower price, so as to make a lot of profits. In Pengcheng, the fairy jade of [-] yuan a piece, in Yanzhou After , Qingzhou, and Yuzhou, the price can reach [-] yuan, or even more.
The changes in Pengcheng exceeded the expectations of Xuzhou officials.
After the number of merchants increased, it drove the development of Pengcheng. Outside the city, there was a workshop specializing in making fairy jade boxes, and the recruits were all ordinary people, which can be regarded as opening up a way for the people to earn money.
The field reclamation outside the city is also in full swing. The autumn harvest and sowing, the reclaimed land has reached 30 mu, and thousands of captives. The daily work is to reclaim the fields, and the speed is naturally extremely fast.
Not only Pengcheng is reclaiming fields, but other counties and counties in Xuzhou are also doing the same. If the number of reclaimed fields is large, it will become one of the criteria for measuring the achievements of officials.
Xuzhou is rich and famous for its products. For example, in the area near the Yangtze River in Guangling County, the people can rely on fishing to survive. Langxie is near the sea, and there are other ways of survival.
Such news attracted the attention of the surrounding princes.
Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, was extremely supportive of Yuan Shao. When the princes met for an alliance, Yuan Yi unswervingly supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Kong Rong, the Prime Minister of Beihai, was a descendant of Confucius. Many, but it represents the Kong family's attitude towards Lu Bu, attacking other people's cities, which was criticized by Kong Rong.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, had a rift with Lu Bu. The battle between the armies of the two sides ended in the failure of the Yanzhou army, which made Liu Dai even more hostile to Lu Bu.
If Xuzhou stabilizes, it is not what the other princes want to see. Only when Xuzhou is in turmoil can they drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou more easily.
"General, General Cao Xing has found your family and can come to Pengcheng today." Gao Shun stepped forward and said in a low voice.
Lu Bu moved slightly in his heart and nodded. When he mentioned his wife, his heart would inevitably be touched. After integrating Lu Bu's memory, he did not have too much rejection of the Yan family and his daughter Lingqi. After taking control of Pengcheng, he secretly dispatched General Cao Xing to Bingzhou.
"How far is it from Pengcheng?" Lu Bu asked.
"Twenty miles." Gao Shun said.
"Call together a hundred cavalrymen, and I will go to meet them." Lu Bu nodded.
A group of cavalry came out from the north of the city and left in the dust.
Lu Bu, who was on the Chitu horse, also had a lot of emotion in his heart. He came to the big man by accident. He needs to survive in the troubled times through his own efforts. He has Lu Bu's powerful martial arts, but he has very poor skills. Fame, but there are some responsibilities that must be borne.
In Lu Bu's memory, Yan Shi was a beautiful, gentle and virtuous woman who had been silently supporting Lu Bu.
In an ordinary carriage, even though he was wearing ordinary clothes, Yan Yu was still so radiant and moving. The exhaustion along the way made Yan Yu look a little tired.
"Lingqi, I will see your father soon. You are already eight years old, so be good." Yan Yu urged.
Lingqi raised her head and asked, "Mother, is father very powerful?"
"Well, your father is the most powerful person in the whole world." Yan Yu laughed.
Chapter 45 The feeling of blood is thicker than water
Lingqi said with bright eyes: "Are we going to live in Xuzhou in the future?"
"Where is your father, we will follow." Yan Yu gently stroked Lingqi's head and said in a low voice.
"Ma'am, Marquis Wen led the cavalry to meet you." Cao Xing's voice came from outside the carriage.
Yan Yu said: "Why bother Mr. Fu?"
After speaking, Yan Yu lowered her head and packed up. She hadn't seen her husband for two years, and she had to go to see him with the best posture.
"Mother, why does Uncle Cao call father Marquis Wen?" Lingqi asked.
Yan Yu laughed and said, "Your father is a hero, and the imperial court named him Marquis Wen."
"Oh, so it turns out that Lingqi will become a hero in the future." Lu Lingqi said happily.
The sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, Lu Bu glanced at the carriage beside Cao Xing, and ordered: "Protect this carriage and enter the city."
Hundreds of cavalry responded loudly and scattered around the carriage with serious expressions.
"Marquis Wen." Cao Xing clasped his fists.
Lu Bu said, "General Cao has worked hard all the way."
"Madam is well, Lingqi is also in the carriage." Cao Xing said.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "There are so many people here, let's talk about it when we get back to the city."
There must be many enemies of Lu Bu secretly in Xuzhou. This kind of thing is inevitable. The arrival of Lu Bu has violated the interests of many families. On the surface, Lu Bu is in power in Xuzhou, and the officials obey. The princes secretly passed the song.
Lu Bu did not have a good reputation among the princes, and was opposed by the princes of the world. If this is the case, the officials in Xuzhou must have other thoughts in their hearts.
Otherwise, if Lu Bu is finished, if the family in Xuzhou firmly supports Lu Bu, it will definitely be unlucky. The battles between powerful families are often fierce, as powerful as the Chen family. Chen Deng is working for Lu Bu. Who can be sure that it will be a crisis in Xuzhou At this time, the Chen family will not beat him up.
Lu Bu entrusted Jia Xu, who is the best at this, to deal with these open and secret fights. What he has to do is to firmly control the military power in Xuzhou. help.
Hundreds of cavalry guarded a carriage and walked on the streets of the city, which attracted a lot of attention.
"Mother, I want to see my father." Lingqi pursed her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Yan Yu whispered: "Lingqi, you will be able to see your father after you arrive at the mansion."
"No, Lingqi wants to watch it now." Lingqi said coquettishly.
Yan Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Pull the car curtain a little, maybe you can see it, don't disturb others."
