After a pause, Lu Bu continued:

"After the three of you go back, please also tell the elders of the clan that I, Lu Bu, will never treat my allies badly, please rest assured of this. The Zhong clan and the Du clan will rise in Guanzhong, this is my explanation to them, but this will not affect your three families. ”

The three of them are all bright-eyed,

looked at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu nodded and continued:

"The principle pursued by Lu Bu has always been that everyone makes money, and the business of the state today is obvious to all, although it is said that Shinong is the most shameful businessman. But someone Lu doesn't think so, money, or the importance of financial resources, is not much worse than the force in hand. This is true for me, and the same is true for your three major families, cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, this kind of thing I Lu someone will not do, on the contrary, all my friends, I will make them make a lot of money. ”

Lu Bu said in a demagogic tone,

Now he has already mastered the technique of sticks and turnips.

Before a series of temptations and deterrence,

has already frightened the three of them deeply,

They and the family behind them will also have a deep panic about Lu Bu and the forces he represents.

But since it's an alliance,

Such a state is enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of the other party.

Therefore, Lu Bu needs to give the other party some benefits,

All three are also very shrewd,

Lu Bu has said it so clearly,

Naturally understand the meaning of his words,

I'm looking forward to that.

Lu Bu's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop,

Spoken:

"Iron tools are the most squirry materials in today's troubled times, especially here, many foreign races near the Western Regions are coveted for iron tools, especially the equipment that the Han army has replaced."

Lu Bu spoke,

looked at Pei Ji inadvertently,

The latter was a little apprehensive at the moment,

Don't dare to look directly into Lu Bu's eyes,

Lu Bu smiled slightly,

didn't let Pei Ji suffer from gains and losses:

"I won't interfere with this piece of fat, on the contrary, I will vigorously support your Pei family to do it, in the future, you don't need to engage in this kind of smuggling business, you can do it according to normal smuggling channels."

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows,

looked at Lu Bu in surprise,

The big fat piece of iron has always been controlled by their Pei family.

That's why it can dominate the three major families.

Before he completely surrendered to Lu Bu on behalf of the family,

In fact, there is a layer of purpose,

I just want to hold the big fat of the iron business,

Everyone knows the surrounding area of the Han Dynasty,

The most scarce and most desired fine iron of the Han Dynasty,

It's a real lucrative deal.

Many families and forces are coveting this big piece of fat.

Lu Bu entered the main pass,

The next step is to integrate the entire Guanzhong forces,

The reshuffle of major families and power institutions has become unstoppable,

This is a disaster for many,

At the same time, from another perspective,

But it is also an unprecedented opportunity,

The key lies in whether the forces of all parties can grasp it firmly.

The news that Lu Bu Weifu came to Guanzhong,

Recently, it has been rumored among the major families in Guanzhong,

No one is a fool,

We all hope to be able to take advantage of this opportunity,

Let the family power go to the next level,

Their three families are also lucky,

I was able to meet Lu Bu here,

Various families, especially the Pei family,

It is even more imperative to serve Lu Bu,

After all, the ironware business they rely on for survival is too sensitive,

If you don't take the initiative to put it into action,

What awaits them is nothing but being suppressed and slumped.

But if it is put into effect,

will also be strongly suppressed,

This is no longer a rule,

Once a son of heaven and a courtier,

It's just that taking the initiative can grasp some advantages.

In the handling of this matter,

Pei Ji is even more decisive and bold,

Not only did Lu Bu take the initiative before he could speak,

And also on his own,

On behalf of the family's unreserved dedication to Lu Bu,

This time it took the initiative,

And left a good impression in Lu Bu's heart.

In his view, although it is very costly,

But at least the family can continue to participate in the iron trade,

As for the level of involvement,

and how much share can be occupied,

To be honest, he doesn't have a bottom in his heart,

In his opinion, it is enough to have three achievements,

To be able to occupy fifty percent is far beyond expectations,

The previous astonishing move was for this purpose,

However, to his surprise,

Not only did Lü Bu allow their family to continue to participate in the iron business,

It is also for them to continue to be fully responsible for the ironware business in this pass,

It's pie in the sky,

Pei Ji hurriedly got up,

This time there was gratitude in the expression,

It also adds a lot of admiration and acquaintance.

Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand,

motioned for Pei Ji to get up.

"But don't be too happy, I also have conditions, and now General Lu is leading the troops on an expedition to the Western Regions, you know this, right?"

Pei Ji's eyes rolled,

A knowing smile immediately appeared on his face:

"My lord, I understand. Enemies will not buy even a single iron pin, and friends will exchange the most expensive items for scrap iron. ”

Talking to smart people is worry-free,

Lu Bu smiled and nodded,

It's also a way of economic warfare,

Strangling the empire with lifeblood materials,

to always suppress the other side through economic blockade and other means,

In fact, since the Qin Dynasty,

For the border aliens, the method of controlling salt, iron and other materials is adopted.

to suppress the rise of the frontier aliens,

But for a variety of reasons,

Still can't be eradicated,

Lu Bu is now also emulating the way of his predecessors,

The method itself is good and effective.

It's just that it needs a series of other ways to help,

Lu Bu didn't dare to say how much smarter he was than the sages,

But he has at least thousands of years of intellectual experience,

In addition, there is such a virtuous helper as Diao Chan,

At least to suppress the growth of the steppe as much as possible,

After the reduction of internal friction in the Central Plains and the real rise,

Lu Bu has even bigger plans.

"In addition, there are many raw mines in many places in the Western Regions, you have to control them as much as possible, it is best to be able to have them for me, in this regard, you can contact General Lu and Li Ru, they will provide you with all the conveniences."

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows,

The joy on his face could not be concealed in any way,

Excitedly assured:

"Thank you for the importance of the lord, the lower officials will definitely live up to the trust!"

Lu Bumo rubbed his cheeks,

The smile on his lips is a little dangerous,

looked at Pei Ji with burning eyes and said:

"I hope you can really do it, if you can make a difference within half a year, your Pei Gongzi will be reused. But let's also say ugly things in the front, if I can't see the results within half a year, not only will you, a small county order, not only be able to do it, but the big fat of this iron business can only watch others eat it. ”

Pei Ji was stunned when he heard this,

There was a determined look in his eyes,

Looking directly at Lu Bu, he said seriously:

"Please rest assured, even if Pei Ji is full of brains, he will not dare to live up to the trust of the lord."

After Lu Bu arranged Pei Ji,

looked at Liu Quan and looked directly at Xue Gui,

Although the Pei family has gained great benefits,

Xue Gui was very greedy,

But there is also bitterness in my heart,

The situation of the two is different,

What's more, he completely offended Lu Bu before,

Although he has always emphasized that he will ignore the past suspicions,

But where did Xue Gui dare to believe it.

At this moment, Lu Bu's gaze came,

Xue Guizhan trembled and hurriedly got up and said:

"The lord has orders, Xue Gui will definitely go all out, and my family will also try his best to mediate."

Lu Bu's left leg was raised and tilted on his right leg,

Make the body more comfortable,

But the posture of this Erlang leg also shows that he is more aggressive,

made Xue Gui inexplicably feel a lot of pressure,

The bottom of my heart became more and more worried.

"Your Xue family is still responsible for the voice of rice grain, but after all, the Zhong family has just come to Guanzhong, and the Xue family needs to take care of it on their behalf."

After listening to Lu Bu's words,

The stone in Xue Gui's heart finally fell to the ground,

Secretly let out a long sigh.

Lu Bu naturally saw that he breathed a sigh of relief,

I can't help but quip:

"What? Do you think this disposition is unfair? ”

Xue Gui was shocked when he heard this,

Hurriedly stood up and bowed and said:

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare. It's just that the lowly position has never thought that the lord is magnanimous, not only has he not pursued the lowly position, but he has repaid the grievances with virtue and treated the lowly position and the family so favorably......"

Lu Bu leaned back,

Slowly rubbing his temples with his hands,

"I just said that everyone earns money together, I really took the misunderstanding before to heart, I can't help but underestimate someone Lu......"

"Don't dare, don't dare, lowly duty is not ......"

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just kidding you. It would be inaccurate to say that there was no punishment for you, didn't I directly dismiss that Li Shan before, and at the same time punish him in public, they should all be your people. What's more, in the future, your Xue family will not be able to monopolize the rice and grain business, I have installed the Zhong family to come in and get a piece of the pie, which has already had a great impact on your Xue family. ”

Xue Gui straightened his waist,

His expression became very solemn:

"Thank you for your love, from now on, Xue Gui is willing to pawn for the lord's horse, and he will not regret it."

Lu Bu slowly lowered his hand,

The smile spread out on his lips,

It seems that this Xue Gui is completely surrendered at the moment,

He is the thorn of the three,

And the Xue family controls most of the rice and grain business in Guanzhong,

Now that Lu Bu is about to use troops,

The demand for grain and grass is huge.

Therefore, stabilizing the rice grain in Guanzhong is particularly important for Lu Bu, who is preparing to go south.

For the Pei family, he dared to let go completely,

On the one hand, because the Pei family is full of sincerity,

On the other hand,

Iron tools and other materials,

It is difficult to become big without an official identity,

Therefore, Lu Bu is also confident.

But rice grains are different,

Therefore, although Lu Bu still allowed the Xue family to control most of the rice grain trade,

But the Zhong family was also inserted as a counterweight to the existence of the Xue family,

Xue Gui naturally knew very well,

And in this way,

Whether it is Lu Bu or the Xue family,

Both sides were able to completely put their minds at ease,

In this way, it will be more conducive to the cooperation between the two sides.

After a pause, Lu Bu continued:

"I won't hide it from you, the army is going south to attack the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, and the Guanzhong area will be used as the rear base of the army at that time, so from now on, food and grass and other materials need to start preparations. Xue Gui......"

Lu Bu said this,

deliberately stopped,

How could Xue Gui not understand what Lu Bu meant,

Hurriedly took over the conversation and said:

"Lord, please rest assured, my Xue family will definitely handle this matter properly, and will start raising grain and grass from now on, and at the same time strictly control the sale of grain and grass to the south."

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction,

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said:

"By the way, if someone from Yanzhou comes to buy grain and grass, you can sell them some grain and grass as appropriate after knowing the details of the other party, don't deliberately make things difficult and don't need to be accommodating."

Xue Gui was stunned when he heard this,

I immediately understood,

Everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao and Lu Bu have a good relationship,

But the big war is coming,

Lu Bu can do this, which can be called benevolence and righteousness,

Looking at Lu Bu's eyes,

A little more inexplicable,

hurriedly lowered his head to cover up the past,

Respectfully accept the order to sit down.

Lu Bu finally looked at Liu Quan,

Seeing this man's neutral demeanor,

That smile is quite smoky and flattering,

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth couldn't help but twitch,

But he also knows very well,

This seemingly weak sissy,

But it's definitely not a simple character,

Even more dangerous than the majestic Xue Gui,

If you are deceived by his appearance,

Then the consequences will not be pleasant.

Lu Bu reluctantly pulled out a smile and said:

"Young Master Liu."

Liu Quan hurriedly got up and saluted,

He was used to the smiling expression on Lu Bu's face,

Didn't feel any discomfort,

"Lord, just call me by my name, or call me Brother Liu, people will be happier."

When Lu Bu heard this, there was a chill in his heart,

I shuddered imperceptibly,

With a smile on his face:

"Liu Quan, your Liu family has always been in charge of silk and satin cloth and other businesses, right?"

"My lord is right. These are the main industries of our Liu family, this is not a profiteering industry, our Liu family is to put it bluntly, it is to make some hard-earned money, and the lord will not even give this little way to live. ”

While saying these words,

Liu Quan even made a pitiful appearance,

If you don't know who he is,

It's really possible to think that this is a weak woman.

Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh dumbly,

This guy is an interesting guy.

Among the three, he is now more open,

This made Lu Bu particularly appreciated,

He's not the kind of person who is very old-fashioned.

It's just that now the status is there,

Many times he had to put on a straight face and make a majestic appearance,

But I appreciate those who can let go,

It's just that this Liu Quan's appearance and movements are too feminine.

Lu Bu suppressed the urge to beat him with a peach blossom face,

smiled very restrainedly:

"There is no such meaning, the silk business is still in charge of your Liu family. I am ready to support the Jingzhao Du family, the Du family has nothing to do to make a living, I want to hand over the official salt business to the Du family, but with the current momentum of the Du family, it is inevitable that it will not be caught, therefore, I hope that your Liu family can help them and jointly support this matter. ”

Liu Quan's eyes immediately widened when he heard this,

The pair of willow eyebrows raised high,

looked at Lu Bu in surprise,

Pei Ji and Xue Gui glanced at each other,

couldn't help but look at Liu Quan with envy,

This is the biggest winner in the name!
