Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Shouchun City became lively.

Couplets and red lanterns are hung everywhere.

The streets and alleys are full of laughter.

The Huainan Chamber of Commerce greeted all the shops and restaurants, halved the price of goods, and discounted the wholesale by four. For a time, many traders and ordinary people went to Shouchun City to consume.

Lu Bu also carried gifts and visited many ministers.

Sun Quan's Mansion.

Lu Bu's arrival made Sun Quan a little surprised and apprehensive.

"I've seen General Lu." Sun Quan walked out of the main hall with his little sister Sun Shangxiang and went to the courtyard to greet Lu Bu.

"Excuse me..."

Lu Bu handed the gift to Sun Quan and said, "It's the New Year, bring you some small gifts, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"The general is too polite."

Sun Quan took the gift, handed it to the attendant next to him, and said to Lu Bu: "General, please." ”

"Please."

Enter the house.

Lu Bu glanced at the boiling rice wine on the table, and saw several bowls overlapping in the distance, so he smiled and said, "Zhongmou has a guest here, right?" ”

"No, no..."

Sun Quan was a little flustered.

Sun Shangxiang also looked vigilant.

Lu Bu said: "If there are guests, please come out." Why hide? You must know that many contradictions start from dishonesty, as long as Zhongmou has no ghost in his heart, what are you afraid of me doing? ”

"The general is really like a torch..."

Sun Quan couldn't hide it, so he said to Sun Shangxiang: "Little sister, go and invite the uncles out." ”

"Yes."

Sun Shangxiang walked into the inner room and invited Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Tai Shici who were hiding inside.

Lu Su was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained: "General, we came to Zhongmou here to reminisce about the past. I heard that he had a good pot of wine, so I couldn't help but come over, and the general should not misunderstand. ”

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The crowd hurriedly echoed.

Lu Bu said with a pleasant face: "Don't be nervous, isn't it just catching up and drinking, I can understand." ”

"General Schelle."

Lu Bu motioned for everyone to take their seats and asked, "How are you living after you arrive in Shouchun City?" ”

"General Tolu's blessing, all is well."

Sun Quan replied.

"Not really, right? As far as I know, your annual income is only 200 stones, and it's okay to maintain food and clothing, but if you really want to feed a large family and restore your previous standard of living, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult? ”

Lu Bu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Regarding your placement, the Military Aircraft Department and the Department of Internal Affairs have already decided, and I can't change it again." But I can give you ideas, with your ability, it's too easy to make money in Shouchun City. ”

Lu Bu's words were to the point.

In the past, when I was in Jiangdong, everyone was a great general and a great strategist, and I never worried about money. But after returning to Lü Bu, it was 200 stone of grain every year. It sounds like a lot, but it's not enough at all.

Take Sun Quan as an example, more than half of the Yulu distributed in June last year has been consumed. It will not be until June of this year that there will be a new one.

But if you don't have money, you can't do it!

Usually buy vegetables, wine, meat, furniture and so on, you need money. If you sell a little grain, you can live better, but I am afraid that it will not last until June of the following year.

So they gathered together to discuss the matter of the Fortune.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be curious: "I don't know if the general has any good ideas?" ”

Lu Bu said: "There are too many ideas to make money. Let me give you a few. For example, go to the martial arts hall to fight, go to the Huainan Chamber of Commerce to escort the caravan, or open your own shop and do some small business or something. You can make a lot of money. ”

"If you think you have what it takes, you don't want to do it. You can go to Wuyingdian and Wenxian Pavilion to take the title of Wenxian Pavilion Scholar and Wuyingdian Warrior, and you will have more than 1,000 stones. If it is not enough, I will help the Ministry of Rites and teach students from all over the world. You must know that there are hundreds of schools in various states and counties, and the teachers in charge of teaching must be selected from Wenxian Pavilion and Wuying Palace, and with your ability, you are fully qualified to be selected. When the time comes, there will be hundreds of more stones... ”

Lu Bu listed many ways to make money.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized, and said, "Thank you for the general's advice." ”

"You're welcome."

"Now it's okay..." The stone in everyone's hearts was put down, and they began to discuss making money.

Sun Shangxiang said: "Now it seems that General Lu is not so annoying. ”

"Huh? Was I a nuisance before? ”

Lu Bu was a little stunned.

Sun Quan hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, general, what the little sister means... You've always been a wise man. It is our pleasure to have you under your umbrella. ”

"Uh-huh..."

Sun Shangxiang was afraid that Lu Bu would be angry, so he quickly nodded.

Lu Bu stared at her, and suddenly asked, "Sister Shangxiang has heard a word?" ”

"What's that?"

"Who says women are inferior to men?"

Sun Shangxiang listened and said with a smile: "I've heard it." That's what your two ladies said. ”

"Yes, although they are women, they are strong in martial arts, and they do not lose to men. In my opinion, Shangxiang's sisters' martial arts are as good as theirs. If you also join the army, you will definitely be able to become a model for women in the world. ”

"Hehe..."

Sun Shangxiang laughed, blushing a little and said, "Can I really do it?" ”

"Absolutely."

Sun Shangxiang was quite moved, thinking of his family's difficulties, so he said: "Since General Lu looks up to me, I am willing to join the army..." ”

"No, no."

Sun Quan hurriedly stopped: "What the little sister said is a joke, don't take it seriously, general." ”

"Brother, I'm telling the truth."

"Shut up, how can there be a woman in the army? Besides, the old lady would not agree. ”

The old lady in Sun Quan's mouth refers to Wu Guotai. Wu Guotai is Sun Jian's second wife and Sun Shangxiang's biological mother. Compared with Sun Ce and Sun Quan, she loves Sun Shangxiang more.

Lu Bu didn't want to force it, so he said: "If there is any inconvenience, I didn't say what I said just now." If Sister Shangxiang is willing, she can go to Mu Guiying's Danyang Army, be her companion, and be the commander of the personal guard. , rank 400 stones. ”

In general, the commander of the pro-guard army is equivalent to a lieutenant at all levels.

For the current Sun, it is too much needed.

Sun Quan hesitated...

He knew that Sun Shangxiang was in no danger when he went to Mu Guiying. Because Mu Guiying is Lu Bu's wife, the couple are deeply affectionate and will never let Mu Guiying take risks. As the commander of Mu Guiying's pro-guard army, he is simply taking a share for nothing.

Sun Shangxiang didn't think much about it, and when he heard that there were 400 stones, he said eagerly: "I'm willing to go..." ”

Lu Bu set his sights on Sun Quan.

Sun Shangxiang understood and said, "Brother, you just let me go." There, old lady, I'll go and talk. ”

"Well, if the old lady agrees with you to go, I have no opinion."

"Uh-huh."

Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, it's okay now, when will I take office?" ”
