Lu Zheng heard in the house that this person would help him to help the people, and he also loved the people, he didn't know how many big families in Luoyang City could help the victims, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Then apart from you, who else in Luoyang City can have the heart of disaster relief?" ”

The man sighed: "I'm afraid it's hard to say, but I feel that all the high-ranking families have been hiding their doors in recent days, as if they are some precautions against thieves and hungry people." But I can talk about it for the official and see if it can have some effect, after all, I am more familiar with this Luoyang City than you. ”

Lu Zheng said: "Then there is work, I am here to thank you." ”

"Actually, the official can call me a king merchant in the future."

Lu Zheng said again: "You see that I forgot, and when I go to your house, I don't ask your name." ”

Several people laughed, and at this time, Lu Zheng and the others stood up and prepared to leave, and before leaving, they said to Wang Shangjia: "Just do your best to do this, and those wealthy families can recruit as much as possible." ”

After that, Lu Zheng went out of the mansion, and Qi Huan said again at this time: "Is this businessman credible?" Why can a few words help us, this food offering is a big deal, and there is no face if it is less, if this person is really to help the people, then we are looking for the right person. ”

Lu Zheng heard some truth, and he was also wavering in his heart, but what happened in the end also depends on the actual actions of this person.

Liu Dayuan is a rough man, and he doesn't think, so he said: "I don't understand your mind, as long as he doesn't lie to people, we can win him over." Lu Changshi is not in urgent need of support, this person is a wealthy family in Luoyang, and when this person gives an order, someone must be able to bow down and obey his orders. ”

"Brother Dayuan's words are very righteous in the rivers and lakes, but to eliminate the thieves and relieve the disaster, it is not to use the righteousness of the rivers and lakes to solve it."

"Okay, you two don't need to say any more, I have my own opinion in my heart."

Lu Zheng interrupted the words of the two, he turned left and right on the street, and saw that many soldiers in Luoyang City were mobilized, as if they were going out of the city, so he shouted at the team: "Are the brothers going to suppress bandits?" ”

A soldier said: "Yes, Fu Yin has an order, arrive at the top of the mountain before sunset, and concentrate on leveling a bandit." ”

Qi Huan exclaimed: "So fast, it's only been a few hours to go out, but he didn't inform us, what kind of medicine is this Fu Yin selling in his heart?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Lu Zheng said lightly, he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly said: "Let's go back to the government and see what the government Yin says, let's wait for him to encircle and suppress this time, if he fails this encirclement and suppression, we will have a reason to let him step down, don't forget that we are the Qincha, here we can talk." ”

So the three of them went to the mansion, Lu Zheng didn't care about the prosperity of Luoyang City on the road, and Liu Dayuan was different, he had never seen such a prosperous street, and the signboard shops were all over the place, although some of the shops here were not open due to the disaster, but he could also imagine what it would be like if there was no disaster.

It must be the shops lined up, the crowded market all day long, Liu Dayuan thought like this, and saw some high-headed businessmen who came from afar, these people also know about the Luoyang disaster, but they still want to try their luck in the city to see if there are any big families who can trade.

Liu Dayuan saw in detail all the way, and the "" signboards of many shops were memorized, and after walking for a while, he met many soldiers who rushed out of the city, and the three of them had their own thoughts in their hearts. Lu Zheng thinks that the bandits want to be suppressed, but is he a little anxious, on the first day he came, the various defenses of the bandits have not yet been figured out, so he is in a hurry to start, such a dispatch may have too many variables, or even no results.

After arriving at the mansion, Lu Zheng saw many officials sitting together, all discussing the dispatch of troops, including Shaoyin, but the whole overall situation was decided by the mansion Yin. Seeing that Lu Zheng was coming, Shao Yin stood up and said to the servant: "Set up a seat for a few Qincha to serve tea." ”

After Lu Zheng and the others sat down, they watched the officials talk about the encirclement and suppression, and everyone was excited, saying how to annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop. Suddenly, Lu Zheng interrupted: "You said that you want to annihilate the bandits in one fell swoop, I think it is a little inappropriate, now the bandits are rampant, and they can't be eliminated so well." ”

Everyone was stunned, and at this time, Fu Yin also said: "But the soldiers have already implemented the suppression of bandits, and we can only sit and listen to the results." ”

At this time, Lu Zheng still wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a while, and it was best to wait at this time, so Lu Zheng said: "Okay, and listen to Fu Yin." ”

A smile appeared on Fu Yin's face at this time, but Lu Zheng was a little unhappy in his heart, he came to Luoyang to dominate the overall situation, and now the overall situation is not as he thought. However, Lu Zheng still sat calmly and calmly, and Qi Huan knew his thoughts at a glance.

Many officials in the seat were waiting for news at this time, and they did not have much confidence at all, not that the state soldiers were not good enough, but that the bandits were scattered and widely distributed, and there were not many in one place alone. In fact, many people understand that this strategy of suppressing and appeasing is not only to exterminate those stubborn forces, but more to pacify, and to appease is to comfort the hungry.

At this time, there was a sound from outside the yamen, and then everyone held their breath and looked towards the place where the sound came, and a soldier came to the front of the hall to report: "Our army has entered the range of activities of the bandits, and is now searching for the traces of the bandits. ”

"Revisit." The general of the mansion waved his hand again, and the soldier left the mansion, and all the officials in the seat were holding their hearts, and they didn't know if this battle could have a good result. And Lu Zheng almost expected that if there was no certain organization, a hasty army would also fail, and these officials would inevitably lose if they did not plan for quick success. ”

At this time, Fu Yin suddenly said again: "If you lose this time, who of you can come up with a better way to exterminate the bandits?" ”

Lu Zheng calmed down at this time, while another official said at this time: "I think Fu Yin can select a few experienced generals and send them to different mountains to suppress bandits." But this is good, but now there is a shortage of troops. ”

Suddenly, the hall fell into whispers again, all talking about the advantages and disadvantages of this idea, and Lu Zheng said at this time: "I think we still have to use it now, you imagine that this bandit also needs to eat and dress, we can use generous gifts to appease the bandits, instead of blindly suppressing the bandits." ”

At this time, there was still some commotion in the hall, and Fu Yin said: "Lu Changshi continued, we all listened to it. ”

Then Lu Zheng continued: "There are many high-ranking families in Luoyang, and these wealthy families are also very concerned about this disaster, we can gather people's resources and invest these financial resources in pacifying the bandits." I thought that these bandits were to monopolize the mountain in order to survive, and as long as these problems were solved, I was not afraid of scattered people going up the mountain to become bandits. ”

At this time, the officials in the seat still had some doubts, but most of them were very supportive, and when Fu Yin saw this, he said: "What Lu Changshi said does have some truth, since the imperial court has also appointed you to handle this matter, everything will be decided by Lu Changshi in the future, and I should obey it." ”

At this time, all the people turned their eyes to Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng said: "You all go down and make active preparations, and in three days, I will almost issue a decree to appease the bandits." ”

After that, all the officials walked out of the mansion, and there were only a few people left in the mansion, Lu Zheng said to Liu Dayuan at this time: "Brother Dayuan, stay in the mansion for a few days." ”

"This can't be done, I want to follow the long history, and by the way, I can still protect you."

Lu Zheng smiled at this time: "I knew that you had such a mind, and there was one thing at this time, and I wanted you to do it with me." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Dayuan hurriedly asked.

Lu Zheng smiled: "You don't have to know now. ”

Liu Dayuan looked at Lu Zheng with a mysterious expression on his face, and was also a little curious, at this time Qi Huan also came over and said: "Brother Dayuan, you can know that Lu Changshi has already had a countermeasure, whether it is to exterminate the bandits or appease the people. ”

Lu Zheng had already walked out of the mansion at this time, and shouted, "Brother Dayuan come with me." ”

Liu Dayuan hurriedly ran out and followed Lu Zheng, and he asked again: "What kind of job does Lu Changshi want to send me?" You also know that I am a man of courage and cannot do anything else? ”

"Don't worry, I won't send you to do any small work, you can come with me."

Lu Zheng led Liu Dayuan to a place on Luoyang City Street where there are many people coming and going, most of the people who come here are high-ranking families, and very few poor people can get in, Lu Zheng already has a clue what he wants to do, and Liu Dayuan only cares about following Lu Zheng.

When he arrived at this place, Liu Dayuan looked up and saw that it was really a place of gold dust, the whole building was very gorgeous, it seemed to be a restaurant, but there were all kinds of other entertainment activities.

Liu Dayuan sighed and said: "How could Lu Changshi come to such a place now, such a drunken place, I think we should go." ”

Lu Zheng said: "Brother Dayuan doesn't know what I'm going to do, so I leave like this, I don't believe it." ”

Liu Dayuan had no choice but to go in, and it was really noisy inside, and he was dazzled. But Lu Zheng found a place and began to beat the gong and shouted: "Fellow businessmen in Luoyang, now that the disaster is raging and bandits are sudden, anyone with some conscience will help the needy, so the glorious days of Luoyang City can be expected." ”

At this time, all the people in the hall looked at Lu Zheng's words and scoffed, many people gossiped and said, seeing Lu Zheng as a madman, how could a madman shout in such a luxurious place here, so a few troublesome sons had already come up and said: "Who are you, dare to make a big fuss here, get out of here." ”

These sons were about to clean up Lu Zheng, and Liu Dayuan on the side stood up and said: "This is not your home, why don't we say a few words, and besides, are these words wrong, can you swingers understand this?" ”

At this time, a few troublemakers said again: "Do you still dare to say that we know who we are?" ”
