Luo Zhaoyun heard that the Lu family was coming, and his heart moved, Fan Yang Lu's family, but Zhuo County is a big surname, a big family, starting from Lu Zhi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, hundreds of years of Confucianism and classics, very famous, some people in the family are in business, in the Youzhou area, before the Ning Chamber of Commerce did not get up, the surname Lu was the biggest, and now it has been pried into the second position.

"Okay, let's arrange to meet in the mountain villa, I should have heard that I am going to set up an arsenal in these counties, so I want to get a piece of the pie, and the business of mining and transporting ores." Luo Zhaoyun vaguely guessed the other party's intention.

Ning Muhe said: "The Lu family has cooperated well with my Ning Chamber of Commerce over the years, and it seems that they are not satisfied, and they want to catch the line of the Luo family." ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "Well, he doesn't know, I am the mastermind behind the Ning Chamber of Commerce, so the Lu family also wants to continue to improve, so as not to be thrown too far by the development speed of the Ning Chamber of Commerce." ”

Ning Muhe smiled: "Hehe, then shall we cooperate with him?" ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded: "In the name of General Luo, I still want to win over the famous nobles in these places, and build up the momentum and reputation, and the reputation will be loud, which will be beneficial to future development." ”

"That's right!" The second daughter nodded, agreeing with him.

Half a day later, the people of the Lu family arrived, and there were three people, the middle-aged Lu Xiaokang, a young man, and Kong Wu's powerful prime.

Luo Zhaoyun entertained three guests of the Lu family in the hall.

Lu Xiaokang and the others were a little restrained, because they had already heard of Luo Zhaoyun's reputation as an invincible young marshal, as the so-called, the shadow of the tree and the name of the person, they all heard that he led hundreds of thousands of troops to eliminate Tuyuhun outside the fortress, and he was definitely a young general.

"The contemptible Lu Xiaokang is now the person in charge of the business branch of the Lu family, this is the virtuous nephew Lu Rong, who is responsible for taking care of the business in Yuyang County, and this is the side branch of the family, the person in charge of the business in Zhuo County, Lu Mingyue."

After Luo Zhaoyun heard Lu Mingyue's name, he couldn't help but look at it, thinking that this was one of the leaders of the rebel army who would rebel against the Great Sui in the future, and now he had come out.

With the advent of the late Sui era, many heroes and heroes seem to have reached the age of hot-blooded Fang Gang and have come out to practice, it is conceivable that he will be able to see more historical celebrities in the future, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji and others will not be far away.

"Oh, I wonder what a few people mean by coming to see General Ben?" Luo Zhaoyun said calmly.

Lu Xiaokang was slightly embarrassed, coughed dryly, got up and clapped his hands, and asked people to move in several large wooden boxes, and after opening one, he found that it was shining with gold, and there was also a box of jewelry after opening, and the other was jade porcelain.

"What does that mean?" Luo Zhaoyun was still indifferent, pretending not to know.

Lu Xiaokang said straight to the point: "It's not a secret, after the Lu family's business was rolled out, there were also craftsmen in reserve in terms of iron smelting and military production, and transporting ore was a big business, the Lu family was not a big appetite, insatiable, and only wanted Zhuojun and Yuyang, a private military iron business, in which ore transportation, mining, and smelting could be provided by the Lu family, responsible for transportation and manufacturing, and General Luo could bring the Lu family." ”

Luo Zhaoyun was unexpected, his face was calm, he didn't completely refuse, but he didn't agree directly, and said: "It's more difficult, it is related to the major decisions of the imperial court, military training is only a matter, it is very hidden, and private families are not allowed to participate, so the arsenal and arsenal will definitely be fortified layer by layer, and the army is stationed, it is impossible to let the Lu family or other families come and go at will, this time it involves the secrets of the imperial court, and it is difficult to do business with the military." ”

Lu Xiaokang had no choice but to say: "It's okay to start with mining and transportation, please General Luo can raise your noble hand." ”

Luo Zhaoyun said: "Mining will recruit labor, transportation, it is indeed a bit tricky, if the Lu family has a fleet and contracts a section of transportation, this can be discussed." ”

Although Lu Xiaokang was a little disappointed, he was not completely denied, and he still gained something from this trip, and said: "In the Kaihuang Law, private salt and iron are prohibited, and the Lu family transports ore for a fee for the Great Sui, can you get an approval and open a hole in the operation of iron tools?" ”

"You want to smelt iron, build weapons, and open an armory workshop?"

Lu Xiaokang defended: "No, how can our Lu family be so bold, it's just some daily utensils, such as hoes, sickles, axes, ploughshares, iron cars, etc., and the short soldiers for self-defense will also be built, and they will definitely be within the scope of the emperor's law." ”

Luo Zhaoyun asked: "If Hu Shang orders and sells it to the Turks, it will be a big trouble. ”

"Please rest assured, we will never do Turkic business, and the Lu family will not sacrifice their lives for wealth like that."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded: "You can think about it, a small-scale iron workshop, the approval can still be done, in the current extraordinary period, this general is responsible for the operation and supervision of iron ordnance on this side, with the imperial order, I dare not neglect and dereliction of duty, however, the reputation of the Lu family is very good in the local area, and I also respect the gate lord clan of the five families of Fanyang, I can make an exception." ”

Lu Xiaokang was overjoyed after hearing this, and arched his hand: "So, thank you so much General Luo." ”

Lu Rong and Lu Mingyue also looked happy, secretly thinking that this trip was not in vain and reached an agreement.

Luo Zhaoyun temporarily asked them to go back, and the approval document would take some time to be issued, but the Lu family could choose the site and build the Fang District in advance.

After sending the three away, Luo Zhaoyun discussed with Ning Muhe and Shi Danai how to take advantage of the opportunity of this crusade against Goguryeo to establish several Ning's own arsenals, some of which were built in hidden places to create their own sophisticated weapons, and some could be built in the Ming place, under the name of imperial supervision.
