I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The riding whip kept falling on Zhang Lu.

While Zhang Lu was lying on the ground rolling in pain, he shouted loudly: "Report to the official, I want to report to the official. This is Luoyang, under the emperor's feet. Isn't there any legal principle?"

"You dropped the pot ashes and defrauded my wife of her money. How dare you report her to the official?"

"It seems that you haven't realized your mistake yet. I have to do justice to God today and beat you to death!"

The whip continued to fall and was struck five or six times. Zhang Lu couldn't stand it anymore and finally chose to compromise.

"Stop fighting. I understand my mistake. We can have a good talk if we have anything to say."

"Call Senior Brother."

"Senior brother, you are my senior brother like father and brother!"

Hearing Zhang Lu's begging for mercy, Wei Chu threw away the riding crop with a smile and raised his foot to step on Zhang Lu's chest.

"Yunlu, go into the house and search for me all the elixirs refined by Zhang Lu."

Ma Yunlu nodded, turned and left.

After a while, Ma Yunlu returned to Wei Chu holding a box.

In the box, there are thirty dark pills.

"Zhang Lu, you go around saying that the elixir you refined can cure all diseases and regenerate broken limbs. Now let me feed you medicine. If one elixir cannot heal your wounds, I will give you thirty Pour all the elixirs into your stomach."

Wei Chu's words shocked Zhang Lu.

These dark elixirs were not only filled with pot ashes and sulfur, but also some other miscellaneous things.

If you take a pill, your body may still be able to bear it.

Thirty pills will definitely kill Zhang Lu.

"Please be kind to me, senior brother, and spare my life. I am willing to repay three times the money my sister-in-law spent on me."

"Three times less!"

Wei Chu bent down and grabbed Zhang Lu's collar, lifting Zhang Lu up from the ground.

"You caused my wife to be deceived and made me come to find you personally. You need to compensate my wife for her mental loss and my lost work pay. I just hit you and my riding whip broke. You have to pay for the riding whip too."

"For the sake of you calling me Senior Brother, you can accompany me and give me ten thousand catties of gold."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the main currency was the five-baht coin.

According to the exchange rate promulgated by the imperial court, one pound of gold is worth ten thousand yuan.

Of course, this exchange rate fluctuates. With the chaos in the world, the value of five baht depreciated. Later, one pound of gold could even be exchanged for thirty thousand yuan.

An acre of fertile land sells for [-] yuan, a dou of fine wine costs [-] yuan, and a war horse costs [-] yuan.

Wei Chu asked Zhang Lu to compensate Zhang Lu for ten thousand catties of gold, which was equivalent to ten thousand acres of fertile land.

This is no small fortune.

"Brother, you are making things difficult for me. Thousands of catties of gold can only be obtained by a wealthy family. I am just a small business in Luoyang, and now I only have a hundred catties of gold in total."

Although the names of Wu Dou Mi Dao and Zhang Tianshi are big.

But Zhang Lu did not dare to make money in a grand way in Luoyang.

There is a lesson learned from the Taiping Road.

Being too grand and high-profile made Zhang Lu worried that he would follow in the footsteps of the Zhang Jiao brothers.

In addition, most of the money Zhang Lu made these days was given to Yuan Wei.

Because Zhang Lu came to Luoyang this time, his main purpose was to seek an official position, and developing followers was secondary.

So Zhang Lu didn't lie. All the gold he has now is only a little over a hundred catties.

"If you don't have ten thousand catties of gold, then I will have to continue to whip you."

Upon hearing Wei Chu's words, Zhang Lu's feet softened and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Brother, I know I was wrong. Please spare me. I will leave Luoyang today."

Zhang Lu is really afraid of Wei Chu now.

He felt that Wei Chu would really whip him to death.

As for the so-called heavenly master and the so-called magic power.

Zhang Lu himself knew that these were all tricks to fool people.

Looking at the entire world, there is no so-called magic pill.

"It's not impossible to spare you."

Wei Chu grabbed Zhang Lu's collar again and lifted Zhang Lu up from the ground.

What puzzled Zhang Lu was that Wei Chu seemed to be a different person this time.

He did not continue to beat Zhang Lu, but helped Zhang Lu tidy up his clothes.

"Am I your senior brother?"

"You are my senior brother like a brother and a father."

"Do you want to earn thousands of gold coins?"

Zhang Lu frowned and glanced at Wei Chu, then nodded slightly and said, "Of course I did."

"I have a way to help you earn tens of thousands of gold, and I have a way to make you a prince."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Zhang Lu smiled awkwardly.

"Brother, please stop making fun of me."

"I'm not joking."

Wei Chu signaled Zhang Lu to squat in front of him, and Wei Chu whispered: "Packaging, preaching, brainwashing, and building your own armed forces. This is the secret to accumulating wealth and separatist power."

"You know packaging, but you don't know much about packaging. As your senior brother, I will teach you some tips when I have the opportunity."

"You know about preaching, but you don't know much about it. You shouldn't make aristocratic families the main targets of your missionary work. Because aristocratic families have not experienced too many difficulties in life, it is not easy for them to pin their spirits on illusory things. Moreover, people from aristocratic families value interests. When you threaten their interests, even if you are a powerful heavenly master, they will stab you. You should develop among the poor people, and they will become your most loyal believers."

"Brainwashing, you should be good at this, I won't say more."

"The most important thing is to build up the armed forces. Select a group of people from the loyal followers of the Five Dou Rice Sect, give them the best equipment, and train them. To build up the armed forces, we must learn from the failure of Zhang Jiao and others. Armed strength does not depend on people. The more it is, the more it depends on the essence.”

"When we have armed forces, we should lie dormant first. When the world falls into chaos, we can then occupy a county and develop secretly. Well, I think Hanzhong is good. Hanzhong is the gateway to the north of Yizhou and its geographical location is not bad."

Zhang Lu squatted on the ground and looked up at Wei Chu. He vaguely felt something was wrong from Wei Chu's words.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"You really don't understand?"

Zhang Lu coughed lightly and said, "Senior brother, please clarify."

"Then let me tell you straight, you owe me ten thousand catties of gold, and the interest will be increased by [-]% every day, and the interest will be compounded. You will never be able to repay the money in your lifetime, so you can only sell yourself to me."

"From now on, you will be the Second Heavenly Master of the Five Dou Rice Sect in front of others, and I will be the Great Heavenly Master of the Five Dou Rice Sect in secret."

"I will send five masters to follow you to help you form an army."

"You need to help me firmly control Hanzhong. Maybe one day in the future, I will lead my troops through Hanzhong and enter Yizhou."

After listening to Wei Chu's words, Zhang Lu frowned immediately.

Wei Chu wanted to use himself as a gunman and a puppet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu stood up.

"If I don't want to..."

Before Zhang Lu finished speaking, Wei Chu slapped Zhang Lu and knocked him to the ground.

"Junior brother, follow me, let's go to the Xiyuan Army's station. I want to train you well."
