The world is in turmoil, the smoke is everywhere, and Jiangnan has become the last peaceful land. The weather in Jinling is very good, the flow of people is like weaving, all industries are prosperous, and there is no trace of war.
Lu Zheng sat on the Fuyun Tower, overlooking the sparkling river, looking at the prosperous scene of hundreds of boats competing for the stream, he suddenly thought of the Southern Song Dynasty in the history of the previous life, the Southern Song Dynasty was a corner of peace, living in the south, and the people were rich, a good scene.
However, the Southern Song Dynasty was miserable, and after the northern powers went south, they trampled all this prosperity to smithereen, the people were ravaged, and even the entire dynasty was wiped out.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but clench his fists, Gu Zhilun leaned over and said: "Son, Long Lingxiu's asking price has risen again, this woman is very shrewd, and she knows that we have to use her to get the business done, and now if we compromise, I'm afraid the benefits will be even less." โ
Lu Zheng raised his hand and said, "Repair the book for the capital, and see if Song San can do it!" I will give him 2,000 good horses, and if this can be done, I will make him money!" โ
Gu Zhilun was stunned and said, "Then Long Lingxiu's ......"
"Long Lingxiu is a smart person, and she can't deal with me at this time! Wait, we have been doing business for so many years, there are always good years and bad years, and there is still a disaster in farming! Lu Zheng said.
He stared at Gu Zhilun and said, "Uncle Gu, you are now a figure with a head and a face in Jiangnan, and you can usually talk about pomp and circumstance, and I have no opinion on raising a drama and marrying a concubine." But there is one thing you have to pay attention to, if one day you bully men and women and start to be the evil party, I am afraid that the friendship between you and me will come to an end!
Now in this era, ever-changing, it is not an exaggeration to say that the world is in chaos, you see that the south of the Yangtze River seems to be prosperous, the north has actually been starving for thousands of miles, if you don't know at this time to be prepared for danger in times of peace, I am afraid that one day we will all die without a place to be buried! โ
Gu Zhilun was full of excitement, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Childe, I am to blame for the little butterfly thing, this bitch is ruthless, the drama is meaningless, I fell for someone else!" Fuck the bastards of the Chen family set up a set for me, I spent five thousand taels of silver to go out, this woman is gone, I don't give them a little color to see, then ......"
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the result?" Did you get any benefit? Does everyone know that you can't afford to be messed with? โ
Gu Zhilun was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, he was now rich and rivaled the country, and among the businessmen in Jiangnan, he called the second and no one dared to say that he was the first, but Gu Zhilun knew very well where his wealth came from, and he knew even better where the lifeblood of his life was.
Now that Jiangnan is raising troops, Lu Zheng has great ambitions, and at this moment, Gu Zhilun must go all out to become Lu Zheng's backing, otherwise, once he is unusable, will Lu Zheng still use him?
His wealth is comparable to the country, that is Lu Zheng's reward for him, Lu Zheng can make him beautiful and can annihilate him in minutes, obviously, today Lu Zheng took the initiative to ask about his bad deeds, this is a great warning, such a warning makes Gu Zhilun tremble and sweat!
Lu Zheng said: "Okay, since you say so, I suddenly want you to take a trip to the north, do you dare to go to the capital to see Song San?" It's for business! If we only rely on Long Lingxiu, this woman will sit on the ground and raise the price, and if we pull Song San in, then we can contain each other, so that everyone can make money! โ
Gu Zhilun nodded and said: "Don't worry, Childe, I am ready to pack my bags and go north immediately, and I will definitely go to the capital to get this matter done!" โ
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Go down!" Let the boy come in and talk to me! โ
Gu Zhilun slowly retreated, the boy walked in, and Lu Zheng said: "Gu Zhilun can't stay in Jiangnan, this person is too arrogant, why did you tell me at this level?" โ
The boy said: "Childe, I also know about Gu Zhilun's affairs for a short time, after all, the relationship between him and the Gu family cannot be underestimated." It is not excluded that some people in Jiangnan are blushing at you and want to break through from Gu Zhilun, thus posing some kind of threat to you, Son! โ
Lu Zheng said: "This is the reason why Gu Zhilun can't continue to stay in Jiangnan, others are not in Jiangnan, business is still business." If others are in Jiangnan and their business is not doing well, they will inevitably cause disaster to me! The situation in Jiangnan is very delicate, although our Nanfu army now has tens of thousands, but only tens of thousands of horses, can we hold Jiangnan? Can't hold Jiangnan! โ
The boy bowed his head and said, "Childe, this is already our fastest expansion speed!" This year, we can build the Nanfu army to a scale of 100,000 people, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to increase any more! โ
"100,000 soldiers and horses, all newly built soldiers, can they stop Song San's Northwest Army? Can you stop the Liaodong Army? If you look around us, there are enemies on all sides, and what we can do at this time is to be as low-key as possible, extremely low-key! Lu Zheng said.
The boy said: "Lu Xiang judges, the foundation of my Dakang is still there, whether it is the Song family or the King of Qi, the two of them should not dare to rashly attack Jiangnan."
Cao Weiming in Yuzhou was newly defeated and suffered heavy losses, not to mention the contradictions and entanglements in the land of the two rivers, Cao Weiming also needed time to stabilize the two rivers, and now he has no time to look south! As for the Bai family in Lingnan, it is just a clown who jumps off the beam, Bai respects himself as the king, and it is great to be able to defend Lingnan, does he dare to go north and cross Guanshan to invade Jiangnan? โ
Lu Zheng said: "It is precisely because of this that we have a chance to breathe. But you have to think that Song San and King Qi can not move for the time being, but Cao Weiming rebelled, and Bai Jingzhong also rebelled, can the court not move? If the court does not move, won't it be a declaration to the world that everyone in the world can rebel?
Therefore, if the court wants to move, there must be action, otherwise, the prestige of the court will be lost, and no one will believe in the court from now on, and at that time, there will be no more barriers in Jiangnan, and the richness of Jiangnan will become fat in the eyes of everyone. โ

At night, the palace wall of Bauhinia Palace was deep, and Lu Zheng went straight to Emperor Xinde's residence under the guidance of Gonggong Feng.
Along the way, you can see the bustling Imperial Garden, which smells like saltpeter gunpowder, and many people come and go in the garden, although it is night, but the torch lights arrange this place as if it were daytime.
So many people are busy, naturally for the alchemy needs of Emperor Xinde, the emperor of the Great Kang Dynasty is becoming more and more obsessed with alchemy cultivation, seeing the continuous chaos in the world, every time he receives these news, he will gather the ministers over and scold, and then continue to lock himself up here for alchemy and immortal cultivation, regardless of the outside affairs, it seems that doing things in the world can naturally be ruled by doing nothing.
Today Lu Zheng was summoned by him alone, Lu Zheng saw him in the warm pavilion, I haven't seen him for some days, Emperor Xinde is wearing a dark robe today, and his appearance looks much thinner, and his eyes are full of essence, and between looking forward to it, it makes people feel very unnatural.
Lu Zheng walked over quickly and said, "Weichen Lu Zheng participates in Your Majesty!" โ
Emperor Xinde raised his hand and said, "Flatten!" Lu Zheng, you should know the things in the world these days in the court! Our Dakang Dynasty is rotten now, the north is in chaos, and those surnamed Bai in the south dare to set themselves up as kings. You see, Jiangnan is surrounded in the center, surrounded by people with two hearts, as the Son of Heaven, I am not afraid of this, but the people of Jiangnan, our ministers of the central government, and the people of the world are so uneasy about this? What a fear......"
Lu Zheng said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, at the moment these people have their own means, like Song Wensong and His Royal Highness King Qi are very smart, they claim to be loyal ministers of Dakang, these two should be won over for the time being."
But Lingnan Bai and Cao Weiming, these two are jackals, they are against Dakang, we must punish severely, otherwise, the world bullies Your Majesty to be weak, then Jiangnan will be even more dangerous! โ
Emperor Xinde nodded and said: "Lu Zheng, what you said made me pause, hey, the current court, in my opinion, it is also rotten!" It was difficult to find even a person to speak to, and whenever they encountered difficulties, they would pass the buck to each other and pull each other's skins, and no one could stand up and be of great use.
Fortunately, I have Lu Zheng you, on the side of the capital, I issued an order to reward Song Wensong, let Song Wensong serve as the general of the right guard, the general of the two rivers, and he went to quell the rebellion of the two rivers and take Cao Weiming down! โ
Emperor Xinde paused, looked at Lu Zheng and said, "What should Lingnan do?" The Nanfu Army has been building for some time, can it fight? โ
Lu Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the Nanfu Army is now too short to be established, and it must not be used for expeditions!" Besides, at present, Jinling is under attack on all sides, and if the Nanfu army moves easily, once Jinling is empty, I am afraid that it will immediately invite disaster.
Lingnan affairs Weichen suggested that His Majesty should issue an order to let the King of Qi send troops south from Huainan Road, this time, Jiangnan will be worry-free, and at the same time, traitors can also be punished! โ
Emperor Xinde said: "My son, on the surface, is loyal and honest, but in fact he is secretly a ghost idea!" Why did something happen to the Northlands? The matter came to the king of Qi, I handed over my life to him, but he was defeated in a battle in Shandong, and this battle defeated the national fortune! โ
Lu Zheng said: "Please rest assured, if Your Majesty can let Wechen do this matter this time, Wechen will definitely handle it!" โ
Emperor Xinde stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay, since Lu Aiqing said so, I will leave this matter to you!" You can do it, I can rest assured! โ
"Feng Daban, the purpose!" Emperor Xinde's mood seemed to suddenly improve, he grabbed Lu Zheng's hand and said, "From now on, you have to make more decisions about Jiangnan affairs." I hope that the Nanfu army can be built as soon as possible and become stronger, and when the Nanfu army is strong, Jinling can be guaranteed, and the counterinsurgency can have the king of Qi. Dakang is the great health of the people of the world, Lu Zheng, you have to work hard for the people of the world! โ
Lu Zheng got two wills from Emperor Xinde, the first one was sent to the capital, Song Wensong's side should not be a big problem, Lu Zheng has a friendship with this kid, and more importantly, Lu Zheng knows that what Song Wensong lacks most now is his reputation.
This kid has been excluded by the family in Longyou for so many years, and it is already a miracle that he can live with difficulty until now, and he can cross the Guanshan from Longyou into the Guannei, which is tantamount to Jiaolong entering the sea.
He occupies the capital and will inevitably be eyeing the two rivers, Lu Zheng gave him a chance to win the two rivers justifiably, how could Song Wensong refuse?
However, Lu Zheng on the side of King Qi has to think of a way, King Qi is a person who knows soldiers and leads soldiers, he is very bold, he acts very generously, and he seems to be a big grinning person.
But in fact, this person's mind is extremely sharp and delicate, and he acts very cautiously, which is completely different from his appearance and personality. Even Lu Zheng has been deceived by this person for many years, and this alone can show that this prince's city is extremely deep, and among the sons of Emperor Xinde, he is the most feared.
The current King of Qi occupies the territory of two states in Huainan Province, and his strength is not weak with 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers. How should Lu Zheng make him willing to go south and go straight to Lingnan now?
According to common sense, King Qi would never agree, so Lu Zheng could only find another way and think of other ways.
The way Lu Zheng thought of was to go to the Chen family and see Chen Zhiqian. Jinling has just shuffled the cards, and the prime ministers of the court's cabinet, the Lu family and the Gu family, all have people who have entered the cabinet, but the Chen family has been excluded.
Among the six departments, the Chen family also has only one squire on the throne, compared to the Su family, and a family from the capital like the Duan family is more powerful than the Chen family.
Chen Zhiqian is now a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, he sat in this position many years ago, and now that he sits in this position again, the loss and depression in his heart can be imagined.
"Lord Lu, what do you want to see me?" Chen Zhiqian said that his meeting with Lu Zheng was in Lu Zhai, and his attitude was quite resistant to this meeting.
Lu Zheng said: "Chen Shibo, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to call you Shibo, but you can also call it!" Gu Zhilun has already arranged for him to go to the capital, and he won't come to Jiangnan for a long time!
When we were in the capital that day, the three of us were sworn to, and from then on, our three families in the south of the Yangtze River would be united and advance and retreat together, but the recent events have caused a rift between us! โ
Chen Zhiqian said: "This matter can only be blamed on Gu Zhilun, he is really too deceitful, although our Chen family is down, it is nothing in Jiangnan, but what is he Gu Zhilun?" A small side branch of the Gu family, he actually wants to completely trample my Chen family under his feet, and humiliates my Chen family's children, this matter has been discussed by all walks of life in Jiangnan, Chen thanked Lord Lu for being able to act impartially and invite this person out of Jiangnan, if not......"
"What if not?" Lu Zheng slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Do you Chen family still want to rebel?" In this matter, the Chen family is setting up a trap to harm people, intending to be dissatisfied with the imperial court, and dissatisfied with my Lu family and Gu family! To put it more seriously, there are people within your Chen family who want to replace us! โ
Lu Zheng stood up suddenly, and said: "I, Lu Zheng, have always been unable to tolerate sand in my eyes, if Lord Chen can't explain this matter well, don't blame me Lu Zheng for turning his face and not recognizing people!" โ
Lu Zheng was furious, Chen Zhiqian's face turned pale with fright, what did his Chen family use to wrestle with the Lu family?
