"I'll immediately order the tea shop and cloth village to open and send some gifts to Lord Lu, what do you think?"

After Sun Shaoqing heard this, his face was a little ugly.

Sun Bo didn't dare to offend his daughter at all now, and asked cautiously: "Daughter, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sun Shaoqing didn't say a word, and walked towards the house with a straight face, Sun Bo followed her and said a few good words with a smiling face, which made her happy.

"It is a matter of course for shops to open their doors, how can it be regarded as reparation. Lu Gongzi is a noble person, how can he accept gifts, you will only make him feel humiliated by doing so! Sun Shaoqing said.

Sun Bo nodded again and again, knowing that his daughter and the county magistrate were familiar with each other, and they must know each other's preferences better.

"You're right, it's my father's mistake, so in your opinion, how can we make amends?"

"Daddy, don't worry, I will find a way to repay him on Lu Gongzi's side, you should thank Yuan Catcher, Zhan Catcher, Hou Bantou and others." Sun Shaoqing said softly.

"Your father is not old and confused, and he will prepare enough gifts to thank them one by one!" Sun Bo smiled.

"That'll be fine."

After that, Sun Shaoqing returned to the embroidery building, and Sun Bo went back to the lobby alone, and a group of women stepped forward to ask questions.

The old lady also woke up and asked Sun Bo about what happened, Sun Bo said them one by one, and the old lady sighed: "If you offend the Chen family, there will be endless troubles." ”

In the words, she still didn't want Sun Bo to tear up her face with the Chen family, the mother and son sat and talked, and the old lady wanted Sun Bo to marry Sun Shaoqing to the Chen family and take the opportunity to make amends.

Sun Bo deviated from the county magistrate last time because of his mother's words, and thought: "Mother is getting old and getting confused, I can't listen to her anymore, and I should listen to my daughter's opinions more about major events in the future." ”

After a few casual sentences in his mouth, he gradually opened the topic away.

Sun Shaoqing returned to his embroidery building and looked in the mirror in a daze.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Lan'er asked.

Miss Sun's mouth moved, and she stopped talking.

"Miss, is there anything you can't tell Lan'er?"

Miss Sun lowered her head, played with the corner of her clothes, and whispered, "There is indeed something for you to do." ”

It was the first time Lan'er saw Miss so shy, her mouth opened wide, it was like seeing a ghost.

Seeing that Lan'er didn't reply, Sun Shaoqing looked up and said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like this." ”

"Miss has something to do, just tell me." Lan'er saw that Miss looked shy, and smiled secretly in her heart.

"You go find a competent person and go to Ningguo County to inquire about the situation in Lu Xianggong's family!" Sun Shaoqing said in a low voice.

"I'll go." Lan'er suddenly realized that she was about to go out.

"You're back."

"Miss, what else is the matter?" Lan'er turned around and asked.

Sun Shaoqing's expression had returned to normal, and he said lightly:

"I can't let people know that it's the Sun Mansion that is inquiring about this, and I can't let people know that it's my order, understand?"

"Got it."

"After that, you can go and ask Steward Yang to recruit a new head of the nursing home, and let Chen Tai go to the account room to get the money and go back!"

"Yes."

……

Returning to the county government with the officials, Lu Yuan began to think about the suppression of bandits, but as for Xue Cheng, he didn't take it to heart.

When he returned to the second hall, he saw that Shan Long was still waiting for him in the hall, and he remembered that he was going to ask Li Ruozhen for help before leaving.

He casually asked Shan Long about Fu Lei's condition, and then asked him to go back, now that he has an army in hand, he doesn't need help from others.

However, this matter should not be publicized, he asked the rest of the people to retreat, leaving only Hou Kaishan in the study.

"Brother Hou, I have something to discuss with you." Lu Yuan said.

"Your Excellency, please command." Hou Kaishan secretly thought in his heart that it must be about how to deal with Xue Sima.

"I have been transferred to the soldiers and horses, and I am ready to secretly exterminate the eleven villages in one fell swoop!" Lu Yuan said slowly.

Hou Kaishan was overjoyed, he didn't ask much, and said: "What do you have to send, just command!" ”

"You go and find a way to prepare five hundred public uniforms, and I hope to annihilate the eleven villages in one fell swoop, what do you suggest?"

Hou Kaishan didn't know anything about leading soldiers, how dare he make suggestions casually, and hurriedly shook his head.

Lu Yuan sighed, he originally hoped that Hou Kaishan would lead the troops to suppress the bandits, but now it seems that although he has high martial arts, he is not good at leading troops. Once again, he realized that he needed more talent.

Among the people he knew, except for Wang Qian, the Qin brothers and sisters were the most knowledgeable, but they had not yet entered his command, and they didn't need it now.

After pondering for a long time, he ordered someone to call Dong Yuan over and asked, "Master Dong, I have two things I want to ask you about. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"The first thing is that the businessmen strike the market, I don't know what countermeasures Brother Dong has?" He was testing Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan has also been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and has some ideas, saying: "My subordinates think that adults can connect a few families and fight a few families!" ”

"Let's talk about it."

"My lord, please think about it, you are the county commander, those businessmen actually don't dare to oppose you in their hearts, the reason why they strike the market is just to unite and fight for benefits, as long as you can pry a corner, they naturally don't dare to resist." Dong Yuan analyzed.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, what Dong Yuan said made some sense, but he still lacked understanding of the four major chambers of commerce, and he didn't know how powerful they were, but he was just an ordinary person before, so naturally it was impossible to know how big these powerful forces were, and he couldn't blame him for his lack of thinking.

"I don't know how to pry a corner open."

"The adult can propose to the Miss Sun family, so that the Sun family will inevitably throw themselves on the side of the adult, and their alliance will immediately fall apart." Dong Yuan suggested.

He had heard Qin Li say that the county magistrate was interested in Miss Sun's family, so he felt that this was the best of both worlds.

"This matter will be discussed next time, you can step down first." Lu Yuan's heart jumped a few times.

Dong Yuan retreated, extremely confused in his heart, what he didn't know was that although Lu Yuan had a good impression of Miss Sun, it was far from the point of proposing marriage, not to mention that he had an agreement with Miss Qin, so naturally he couldn't marry someone else.

Lu Yuan paced in the room, continuing to think about the candidate to lead the troops, he was self-aware, he knew that he was not the material to lead the troops, and he needed to find another talent.

After thinking for a while, he left the study and went to the county office, ready to search for civilian talents.

As soon as he got out of the lobby, Hou Kaishan chased him out and asked, "My lord, are you going out?" ”

"Brother Hou, let's go, I'll just go out alone." Lu Yuan nodded and said.

Hou Kaishan is indeed a little busy at the moment, but for him, Lu Yuan's safety is the most important, and he said, "I'd better follow the adult." ”

"You are in an important position, so it's not good to follow me all the time, so let's send someone to protect me."

Hou Kaishan's heart moved, and he thought: "You should really find someone to protect your adult." ”

"My lord, wait a minute, I'll go to Zhan Zhutou to discuss."

After waiting in the courtyard outside the lobby for a long time, Hou Kaishan led a young catcher over.

"My lord, this is Yuan Qing, martial arts are the best among all the fast catches, so it's up to him to protect your lord."

In fact, his son is comparable to Yuanqing's martial arts, but he is not very confident about his own kid, so he chose Yuanqing, who looks more calm.

Yuan Qing just saw the majesty of his county commander outside the Sun Mansion, admired him very much, and bowed down and said, "Yuan Qing has seen the adult. ”

"You go change into civilian clothes and go out with me." Lu Yuan said.

"Yes!" Yuan Qing said happily.

The two were walking on Duanyang Street, and suddenly saw a group of people running on the street, and they didn't know what they were doing in a hurry?

Lu Yuan sent Yuanqing to inquire, only to learn that the Sun family tea shop and cloth village had all resumed business, and the price of tea had dropped very low, and the people rushed to buy it when they heard the news.

"My lord, the Sun family is quite fast." Yuan Qing said with a smile.

"Let's go, we'll see."

However, after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard someone shouting on the street:

"The four major chambers of commerce restaurant tea shop is finally open, everyone go and see!"

"I knew that those profiteers would definitely not be able to fight our county commander!" A tall man shouted, and the rest of the people cheered in unison.

Lu Yuan was afraid that the people would recognize him, so he didn't step forward anymore and turned into an alley.

I thought to myself, I beat Chen Guang today, but I didn't expect it to have this effect, it seems that to deal with these treacherous people, sometimes you do have to use extraordinary means.

Next, there was only the matter of suppressing bandits, so Lu Yuan continued to visit the talents.

In the next few days, every time he finished handling official business, he wandered around the county town and asked the people in the city if there were any reclusive talents in the county.

Among them, the most listened to was a person named Shen Liang, but after investigation, Lu Yuan found that this person was very close to Li Xiancheng and others, so he did not rush to visit.

On the morning of this day, Lu Yuan walked around the northwest area of the county seat and returned to the county government study, but saw that the Shan brothers were waiting for him.

In addition to them, Fu Lei is actually there.
