Chapter 217: Doing Business

Deputy General Huang already knew about Luan Yujie's killing at this time, and he naturally guessed the reason for this, especially after knowing that Lu Yuan killed Luan Yujie with the governor's order.

Because of this, when Deputy Chief Huang knew that Lu Yuan was coming to visit him, he was very frightened on the spot.

Deputy General Huang naturally also knew that Lu Yuan had repeatedly foiled the Jiannu soldiers and made great contributions to King Qin's northward journey, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan would borrow the hand of the governor to kill the commander of the guard who was a four-grade soldier as soon as he returned to Shandong.

Now, when Lu Yuan came to him, he was naturally a little uneasy.

Therefore, when Deputy General Huang learned that Lu Yuan wanted to see him, he gathered more than 200 of his family members, and then let Lu Yuan come to see him.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Deputy General Huang and his own family members wearing full armor: "Why does Deputy General Huang want to be so popular, the subordinate officials came to see you just to talk about business with you." ”

"Business?"

Huang Jiayin, deputy chief soldier of Linqing, asked, and at the same time couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's right, it's just talking about business, Deputy Chief Huang may not know that Luan Yujie, who sells weapons privately to the Dou family, will sell 5,000 stone of grain to Lu every month!"

Lu Yuan said.

Huang Jiayin felt quite shocked when he heard it, 5,000 stones per month is equivalent to 60,000 stones per year, and the profit can be no less than 6,000 taels!

"No wonder this Luan Yujie has been frantically collecting grain and grass with the local gentry recently! This guy deserves to die! ”

Huang Jiayin secretly scolded himself, couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What does General Lu mean?" ”

"Linqing is in charge of this period of Cao Yun, Deputy General Huang is in charge, and the entrainment of Cao grain is naturally carried by Deputy General Huang, so Deputy General Huang might as well do this business in person, wouldn't it be bad? Price, let's each make a step, you also make more, I also earn more, without Luan Yujie as the middleman, wouldn't it be good? ”

Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

Huang Jiayin understood what Lu Yuan meant, and he just wanted to replace Luan Yujie and sell him grain directly.

After all, every year, the boats that go to Beijing to transport grain will carry a lot of private grain to sell grain merchants from all over the world, and most of these entrainments are naturally managed by Huang Jiayin.

Because, Huang Jiayin, the deputy commander-in-chief, is responsible for the control of transportation in the Linqing area.

Huang Jiayin was naturally moved, and he couldn't help but say it, and even the title was more affectionate: "Brother Lu said so, how can I excuse myself, brother, this business can be done, but I don't know what my brother wants so much food for?" ”

"Why do you bother to ask, brother, I naturally buy food just to feed the brothers below, is it possible that Brother Huang still thinks that my brother will sell it to Jiannu?! Brother I have killed so many Jiannu this year, and Jiannu has long been incompatible, how can I help him! ”

Lu Yuan said.

Huang Jiayin was worried that Lu Yuan would sell grain to Jiannu, he knew that Jin Shang would dare to do this, but he didn't dare, after all, he didn't have the support of a civilian official behind him, if a civilian official took advantage of this to impeach him, he would inevitably be dismissed from office.

But Huang Jiayin was really curious about what Lu Yuan wanted so much grain for, if he didn't sell it to Jiannu.

However, Lu Yuan also knew that Huang Jiayin was worried about whether this business would lead to the risk of being dismissed and deprived of his position, so he continued: "Brother Huang doesn't have to worry too much, the lower officials want to set up the Pingshan Battalion, naturally they need money and food, the money and grain allocated by the imperial court are not enough, I have to use my own family wealth to make up for it, even His Majesty, Yuan Fu and even Yang Gebu know this, if he Luan Yujie doesn't do a good grain business, he is too greedy and sells weapons privately and is killed by the governor, and the lower officials will continue to do it with him. And the court won't say anything. ”

Huang Jiayin understood the meaning of Lu Yuan's words, it was nothing more than that he had a good relationship with the elders in the capital.

Huang Jiayin had the bottom in his heart, and suddenly understood why Lu Yuan was able to get the governor's order to kill Luan Yujie, and dared to have the support of the elders of the Beijing Pavilion.

Among the powerful magnates in the Ming Dynasty, the elders of the pavilion are one of the forces, although they are not as powerful as the Jiajing Longqing Wanli period, but they should not be underestimated, after all, they are close to the emperor.

Thereupon.

Huang Jiayin hurriedly walked over in person and patted Lu Yuan's shoulder: "Look at what Brother Lu said, what do I still worry about brother, I did this business!" ”

"So very good, but there is an ugly saying, brother, I have to say ugly things in front, do business on business, everyone earns money together, don't want to make a lot of money and be reluctant to make a small book, in the future, there are disputes on the field, and ask Brother Huang to help cover it up, brother, I can't help it, I have to feed so many people underneath, I can't do without Tuntian! If you are reluctant to land and still want to make money, then brother, I will have to use some more means. ”

Lu Yuan said.

Huang Jiayin naturally understood the meaning of Lu Yuan's words, he could basically guess why Luan Yujie was in the hands of Lu Yuan, he felt that Luan Yujie was also not greedy enough, there was such a big deal to do with Lu Yuan, but he was reluctant to have some fields.

Of course, Huang Jiayin felt that Luan Yujie might not have expected Lu Yuan to have such a method, and the gentry dared to provoke it, and blamed it on the bandits.

But Huang Jiayin had to admit that this is also Lu Yuan's ability, after all, the mighty army is a figure who dares to resist Jiannu, so naturally he can not take these gentry into his eyes, just like the Guan Ning soldiers who already have the image of self-respect outside the Guan.

What's more, Huang Jiayin saw that Lu Yuan said that he still had the support of the old Jingzhong Pavilion behind him, so he was even more relieved, and he was busy talking to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan naturally refused Huang Jiayin's kindness, signed a contract with Huang Jiayin, and immediately rushed back to Qingshui Town.

As soon as he returned to Qingshui Town, Lu Yuan immediately ordered Shen Guangzu to lead the 1,000th Infantry Headquarters to suppress the bandits, and successfully drove the bandits out of Guantao County along the way.

As a result, Lu Yuan immediately reported to Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, that he had suppressed the bandits in Guantao County and was currently attacking Tangyi.

Yan Jizu naturally didn't debunk it, and he was happy to report these performances as military merits, so that he could also get a reputation for being a bandit.

In this way, within three months, Lu Yuan incorporated all the three counties of Guantao, Tangyi, and Pingshan into his territory, and only three isolated county towns in these three counties were not actually ruled by Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't dare to be too blatant, after all, he was still an officer and soldier of the imperial court, but the vast rural market towns outside the county seat of the three counties were all ruled by Lu Yuan's mighty military and civil affairs system.

But because of the basic territory of these three counties, Lu Yuan dared to continue to expand his troops.

However, in the expansion of troops, Lu Yuan now has to strengthen his control over the local civil affairs of these three counties and the control of industrial and agricultural development.

"There must be another civil unit above the production brigade, which is called the county-level civil office of the mighty army, as an internal name, and set up three county civil offices of Guantao, Tangyi, and Pingshan, referred to as the county office, you choose three people, and these three people are responsible for the civil affairs of these three counties!"

Lu Yuan said to Tang Ying.

Tang Ying nodded, but she couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan: "Lu Lang, do we count this as a separate imperial court?" ”

"What do you think? Actually, it doesn't count. ”

Lu Yuan said.

"Lu Lang, do you want to be the emperor in the future?" Tang Ying asked again.

"No, I just want more people to live, including ourselves," Lu Yuan said.

Tang Ying didn't say anything after hearing this, she fell into deep thought, she knew the truth of marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and a dog, but she was still worried that Lu Yuan would rebel.

"Are you worried that I'm going to rebel?" Lu Yuan finally took the initiative to ask.

Tang Ying nodded.

"I'm not going to rebel! At least you won't take the initiative to rebel, but you Lu Lang can't do Yue Fei. ”

Lu Yuan said.

"Lu Lang, I'm a woman after all, not as far as you think, but I listen to you."

Tang Ying said with a smile.

"Let's sleep", Lu Yuan said.
