My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

"Master, the other party really just came to get enough food, but according to the news from Shenfeng Hall, in the past few years, Huangzhou has not said that it has a bumper harvest every year, but there has been no large-scale famine. In addition, since Cui Yan came to power, great disasters have begun. A large-scale suppression of local tycoons and nobles. The other party's new order imitated many of my Guiyi religion, restricting farmland transactions, and the people's support is gradually increasing. In the short term, there should not be a food shortage problem." Half a month later, Li Xingzhi found Lu Xuan and frowned. road.

Cui Yan's sudden purchase of food from here is unlikely to cause a food shortage here. After all, everyone will always keep the food for themselves. Even if they buy up all the food on the market, it will be useless, and the other party's demand for food is not urgent.

Li Xingzhi felt that there must be something wrong with the other party's move, but for a while he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Lu Xuan looked at the information sent by Shenfengtang and said after a moment: "Pave the road first, and just do normal trade. The other party must be prepared. Times are different now. The old methods don't work anymore. Just let merchants from all over the world do business according to the rules." Let’s get familiar with each other first.”

"Yes!" Li Xingzhi nodded.

"By the way, is there any movement in the Cui family in Shangyang County?" Lu Xuan asked suddenly.

"No, the Cui family of Shangyang has contributed a lot to this matter and actively helped Cui Yan contact grain merchants in various counties in Yunzhou." Li Xingzhi shook his head: "Leader, I still think there is a problem with this matter, so we must take precautions. .”

"Defense is certain. Even if there is no problem, I am not going to let this opportunity go." Lu Xuan looked at Li Xingzhi.

"Opportunity, business path?" Li Xingzhi understood the dangers of business, so he was very wary of this.

"Everyone has the seal of mountains and rivers now. From now on, the battle will be fought around the hearts of the people. Even if he has no problem, I will have a problem with such a good opportunity!" Lu Xuan shook his neck: "From today on, Tell everyone that I am practicing, the core staff, contact Shui Jing, you go and call Pei Ruhai, I can use this person easily!"

"Yes!" Li Xingzhi nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Xuan: "Brother, remember, even his family and no one in my house can know that Pei Ruhai came to my place."

Li Xingzhi was startled when he heard this, nodded, turned and left.

In the afternoon, Pei Ruhai came to Lu Xuan accompanied by Li Xingzhi with some trepidation.

"Master, I didn't do anything!" The moment Pei Ruhai saw Lu Xuan, he couldn't help but kneel down.

"Master Pei, don't worry. You should know that I am a reasonable person and will not kill people for no reason. I came to you to give you a fortune." Lu Xuan waved his hand to signal Pei Ruhai to calm down.

"Whatever the leader orders, we will do it without hesitation!" Pei Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lu Xuan killed people a little casually, he would never treat others badly when doing things. He still knew this.

Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Don't be like this, you and I have been together for some years. I believe in your ability. You have done a lot of things for me. After all, you can be considered one of my own. "

own people?

"Yes, the Pei family is what it is now, all thanks to the leader's promotion." Pei Ruhai nodded quickly.

"There are several Kung Fu books here, some from martial arts and some from Taoism. If you want to learn Buddhist skills, I don't have them here. These books are all capable of practicing to the sixth level. There will be fifth-level skills in the future. As long as you have enough merit. , I’ll give it to you. You can pass down the skills to your family. When this matter is completed, I will give you a position as a deacon or county magistrate of the Guiyi Sect." Lu Xuan looked at Pei Ruhai and said.

Pei Ruhai's face turned pale when he heard this. As a businessman, he knew very well that returns are directly proportional to risks. Lu Xuan was giving both skills and positions, which made Pei Ruhai panic and quickly knelt down: "Master, can you Tell me what's going on next?"

"There are definitely risks. If you are caught, you will definitely lose your head. But if you die, I will take care of your family and descendants. You can designate someone to inherit the things I promised you. If you are talented, , I will personally teach the skills." Lu Xuan looked at him: "Of course, I will understand if you refuse. I said, I already treat you as one of my own and will not make things difficult for you. It's just that you haven't seen me tonight. , choose for yourself.”

Pei Ruhai was silent when he heard this. Lu Xuan said it calmly. In addition, although he killed people casually, he would never take back his words. Pei Ruhai still believed this after being under Lu Xuan's rule for many years.

Moreover, what Lu Xuan gave him was tempting enough. For merchants like him, the business environment here is actually the best. Of course, the premise is that Lu Xuan's bottom line cannot be touched.

Lu Xuan was not in a hurry. He took the tea from Li Xingzhi and drank it, waiting for Pei Ruhai's choice.

"Leader, Ruhai is willing!" Finally, Pei Ruhai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

For the future of the Pei family, he took this risk.

"I may not guarantee that you will survive, but as long as the Pei family doesn't cause trouble for me, I will guarantee the wealth of three generations!" Lu Xuan put down the tea cup and looked at Pei Ruhai seriously.

"Ask the leader for your instructions." Pei Ruhai took a deep breath and said.

"Now I have reached an agreement with the Cui family in Huangzhou. The two parties will exchange their needs. You can take a batch of goods to Huangzhou as soon as possible to sell and explore the market. I will not give you any help in this regard, but if you are short of money, you can ask me for it. What we have to do now is to open up the situation over there, figure out the rules, and gain a firm foothold. Just do what you do on a daily basis when you go there, and don't do anything unnecessary." Lu Xuan looked at Pei Ruhai and said, " Remember, if you have extra energy, make more friends with local wealthy people, this will help your future plans.”

"Yes!" Pei Ruhai nodded quickly.

"I have two jade pendants here." Lu Xuan took out two jade pendants from his body, and then slowly approached them: "When they touch, they will merge into one!"

As Lu Xuan finished speaking, the two jade pendants merged into one.

Lu Xuan then took apart the two jade pendants, handed one to Pei Ruhai and said with a smile: "Other than that, it has no use, it is just an ordinary jade pendant. You hold one, and when someone takes the other to find it, When you come, it means that our plan should start, and the person who comes will explain the content of the plan to you. No matter who the person is, you can absolutely trust him."

Pei Ruhai took the jade pendant with both hands, bowed and said, "Ruhai understands."

"Pick one of the Kung Fu. If you practice it, you will at least live a long life." Lu Xuan pointed at the several Kung Fu books on the table and said with a smile.

"This..." Pei Ruhai looked at the exercises on the table and was a little confused. He really didn't understand these.

"This one is the Taoist Five Elements Secret Technique. It was a collection of books in the Imperial Palace of Tiandu in the past. This longevity secret can also be considered a Taoist book. It has no effect. The Qi pulse is gentle. It has no characteristics but no shortcomings. This Guiyuan Secret Record is from my teaching. The book that teaches people to learn is also created by all the masters including me, this book..."

"Master, I choose to return to the Yuan Secret Record!" Pei Ruhai's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Xuandao.

"Think about it, this fifth-level technique has not been created yet, and it can only barely reach the sixth level at present, but the advantage is that it has a solid foundation." Lu Xuan asked.

"Ruhai has thought about it." Pei Ruhai nodded. Guiyuan Secret Record was learned by the Guiyi Sect. It is not only a skill, but also a kind of identity. The Guiyuan Sect today is not the same as the Guiyi Sect eight years ago. The sect is different. It dominates the two states, and with the demise of the imperial court, the Guiyi sect may not be able to conquer the nine states in the future. It is right to choose Guiyuan Milu.

"Okay." Lu Xuan nodded and turned to look at Li Xingzhi: "Senior brother, I would like to trouble you to send the Pei family leader back."

"Yes." Li Xingzhi nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Pei, please."

"Mr. Li, you're welcome, you're welcome~" Pei Ruhai bowed quickly. This was the first time he felt respected and recognized by Lu Xuan. Pei Ruhai felt that the corners of his eyes were sore and wanted to cry~

Pei Ruhai walked without any disturbance. Like most of the traders involved in this mutual trade, Pei Ruhai was inconspicuous.

Before leaving, he specifically inquired about a lot of things from the merchants from Huangzhou who came here to trade, and after making sufficient preparations, he chose a kind of goods that he thought could make money and personally led the team to Huangzhou.

For nearly a year after that, Pei Ruhai and other normal traders traveled between the barren states. Lu Xuan announced to the outside world that he was in seclusion. But the amazing thing is that even if Lu Xuan was in seclusion every day and did not ask about political and educational affairs, he returned to the world. The teaching operation was still in order, without any signs of error.

Huangzhou, Tianquan County, Yangquan City.

"Brother, according to the news from the spies, Lu Xuan is in seclusion all day long and ignores government affairs." Cui Ping quickly came to Cui Yan and asked, "Do we need to buy food this year? We bought food last year. The warehouses here are full.”

"I won't buy it this year. I will mainly buy Yuzhu this year." Cui Yan said casually, holding the chess pieces in his hand and studying the endgame in front of him.

"Yuzhu?" Cui Ping asked confused.

"Well, there is Polygonatum odorifera in Tengshan. There is ointment in the bamboo. It tastes sweet. It is a rare delicacy in Yunzhou. It has some aphrodisiac effects." Cui Yan nodded and smiled.

"How much do you want to buy?" Cui Ping nodded. He naturally knew this kind of bamboo.

"Buy as many as you have." Cui Yan thought about it and said.

"Why buy so much?" Cui Ping wondered. Although it is delicious, not many people can afford it.

"The situation in the world has changed. In the past, there were no mountains and river seals, so war relied on weapons. But now that there are mountains and river seals, wars not only have weapons but also people's hearts. Then Lu Xuan does have some skills in governing, and his use of troops is not bad. If we start a war, we There may not be a chance of winning. The way of Yiqi is that the weak never defeats the strong. It is all about exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses. If he is a strong fighter, we will not fight him. After all, he comes from a humble background and his vision is limited after all. There are some things that he cannot think of." Cui Yanxiao. road.

"What does this have to do with buying bamboo?" Cui Ping was a little confused.

Cui Yan glanced at Cui Ping: "You are not even as good as him, just do it!"

Lu Xuan was able to occupy the land of two states. It was only after Cui Yan obtained the Mountain and River Seal that he understood why Lu Xuan was able to get his generals and officials to support him. He recognized Lu Xuan's ability, so he did not compete with him on military strategy. He started from a direction he didn't understand. Although Lu Xuan was a merchant, he was just a hawker. Cui Yan was confident in dealing with such a person!
