Chen Gong didn't worry, but Lu Bu had to worry.

There are so many places for him to use his money now.

hated Xiao He, like a rich man, he refused to take out a penny, he could only rely on his own means to obtain money and support large and small brothels. If the economic conditions allowed, he also wanted to buy a large number of war horses and form a large cavalry.

"Father-in-law, how is your business lately?" At dinner, Lu Bu asked.

"I heard that the lord is building a factory in Nancheng to expand production?" Xiao He asked rhetorically.

"Well, my father-in-law is very well-informed."

Diao Chan said: "Husband, the construction of the factory in Nancheng has caused a lot of uproar, and many people have gone to Nancheng to help, we have known it for a long time." ”

Xiao He shook his head and sighed: "I really didn't expect it, no one will buy these blank papers in my hands, I'm worried that after you produce a large amount of white paper, it will not be sold and rot in the warehouse." ”

"Father-in-law don't worry, even if it can't be sold, it won't rot. Our blank paper has a thousand-year lifespan. ”

"Millennium? Isn't it only five years? ”

"Hehe... Father-in-law listened to whom. ”

Xiao He said: "The life span of the paper in the world is only five years, so it is our blank paper.... ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Can the broken paper in the past be compared to the first paper in the world?" Our white paper, the quality has nothing to say, as long as it is not exposed to the sun and is not wet by rain, it will not change if it is stored for a hundred years. ”

"It's a good paper."

Xiao He thought for a while and snorted coldly: "Those people are really blind, they don't want to buy it, I don't want to sell it yet, such a good paper, let's keep it for ourselves." ”

"Recently, I have been planning to transcribe the money, grain, tax and various ancient books on a blank sheet of paper for easy reference. But I'm worried that the life of the blank paper won't be long, so I haven't made up my mind. Now that I hear you say this, I know what I know. ”

"Well, my father-in-law's idea is very good, I definitely approve of it."

Lu Bu's eyes turned and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I'll discuss something with you." ”

"The lord has something to do, please command."

"You see that the first paper in the world has no effect on your hands, and it hasn't been sold for a few dollars for so long. It's better to give it back to me, I'll send a reliable person to sell, I promise, the Assassin Mansion can make money every day! ”

When Xiao He heard it at first glance, he thought that Lu Bu wanted to take back the right to sell the white paper, and immediately reacted violently.

But after thinking about it carefully, he grasped the key: "The lord said that the money from the sale of white paper will be handed over to the Assassin's Mansion for sealing." ”

"Well, you are in charge of the internal affairs of the six counties of Xuzhou, and there are many places where you need to use money, and now the tax collection is low, and you can't make ends meet.

"Thank you, Lord." Xiao He agreed without hesitation.

In fact, he also bothered a lot about selling white paper. But after working for so long, there are few people who are willing to pay for paper, and the money they earn every day is not enough to drink tea.

Now Lu Bu took over and promised to hand over the money from the sale of paper to him, of course he agreed.

Through this incident, it also proves that he can govern the country, but he really can't do business.

After getting rid of Xiao He, Lu Bu's mind shifted to the formation of heavy armored cavalry. If you want to form a heavy cavalry, you must first find the best good horses, looking at the princes of the world, with the most good horses, in addition to the warlords of Xiliang, there is only Yuan Shao in the north. Xiliang is far away from Xuzhou, it is impossible to make a deal, and if you want to get a good horse, you have to rely on Yuan Shao.

On this day, Lu Bu found Pan Jinlian and told him about the blank paper.

Pan Jinlian was very excited: "Brother Fengxian is saying that you will give me the white paper to sell?" ”

"Well, but the money from the sale of the blank paper will be handed over to the Assassin's Mansion."

"Alas... It seems that Brother Fengxian is still very afraid of Lord Xiao. ”

"I'm not afraid, I'm just a little scared..."

"Hehe..."

Pan Jinlian covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "I didn't expect Brother Fengxian to kill decisively and be invincible in the world, but he was afraid of a Confucian student?" ”

Lu Bu found a place to sit down and said, "I'm really not afraid of him. Just because he's my father-in-law, I don't want to disobey him. If a person is not even respectful to his elders, then even if he wins the world, what is the use? ”

"The money from the sale of white paper, whether it is given to you or given to him, is to strengthen my Xuzhou, why should it be so clear? Of course, if it is a major matter, I will definitely not give in. You can rest assured of that. ”

"Brother Fengxian's filial piety is better than Zeng Shen, and he can be a model for the world. Jin Lian is willing to venture to Jizhou to solve problems for Brother Fengxian. Pan Jinlian said with a serious face.

When Lu Bu heard this, he was very puzzled: "How do you know that I will send you to Jizhou?" ”

"Brother Fengxian, have you forgotten that I have countless details, how can these things be hidden from me?"

"Now that you know, I don't have to say more. Yuan Shao is located in the north, rich and oily, if I don't take a few bites, I will lose a panic. When you go to Jizhou, you will first sell white paper and fairy wine, and make a name for yourself first, and when Yuan Shao's civil and military ministers are itching, they will stop selling, and then go to Yuan Shao's adviser Guo Tu and bribe him so that he can persuade Yuan Shao to exchange five thousand good horses for white paper. As for the amount of blank paper, you can see it. ”

"Why Guo Tu?" Pan Jinlian didn't understand.

"Guo Tu is deeply used by Yuan Shao, but he has no talent and no virtue, flattery, and greed for money, it is right for you to bribe him, it is much easier than bribing other civil and military ministers under Yuan Shao's account."

"Yes. Jin Lian understood. ”

Everything was ready, Pan Jinlian took 500 bottles of fairy wine and 10,000 knives of white paper, quietly left Xiapi City, and went to Jizhou, the territory of Yuan Shao, Hebei.

Who would have thought that just two truckloads of goods could stir up the situation in the north?

Handed over the sale of white paper to Pan Jinlian, Lu Bu was more at ease, but negotiating with Guo Tu in exchange for 5,000 good horses made him very uneasy.

After returning to the Assassin's Mansion, Lu Bu called Gao Shun and instructed Gao Shun to select a hundred good men from the army and accompany him to protect Pan Jinlian.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will send someone to protect Miss Jin Lian."

"Well, remember to protect her in secret, and if she is not in danger, the person you send should not easily reveal his identity."

"No."

Gao Shun nodded and turned around to leave. But he seemed to remember something, and said to Lu Bu again: "Lord, the generals of all the departments are urging to divide the troops quickly, you see this..." ”

"Wait a little longer." Lu Bu looked calm: "When Pan Jinlian comes back from Hebei, it's not too late to divide the troops." You train the generals first, so that the new soldiers can adapt to the environment as soon as possible. If the generals have any grievances, let them come to me. ”

"No."

Gao Shun's face was bitter. He now has nearly 70,000 troops in his hands, and he is under a lot of pressure, and the generals who come to him every day to discuss the division of troops are all connected, but can he call the shots in this matter? Obviously not, everything has to be decided by Lu Bu.
