One by one, the stoves were bright again, the faces of the people began to brighten, and the whole salt field became full of vitality.

Under such a situation, Lu Peng and his brothers were also full of inexhaustible strength one by one, and all of them were infinitely invested in this hope.

In order to strengthen the security of Lu County, Lü Peng ordered Zhao Yun to go back, and now Zhao Yun is doing something for the people, so he stays in the name of protecting Xiǎo Jiě, no way, Lü Peng can only send Xi Zhen to protect Xu Jie back to Lu County, and cooperate with Zhang Yan to strengthen the vigilance of Lu County.

Lu Peng has absolute reason to believe that the Ding family has suffered big losses this time, although it seems to be calm now, but a family like the Ding family must not let go like this, a storm is definitely brewing quietly, and Luxian is now its own foundation, and he must make all preparations.

When Xu Jie walked outside the salt field, he looked at the thin guards behind Lu Peng, and still suggested: "I'll go back and transfer another thousand soldiers to ensure your safety." ”

Lu Peng thought about it, and finally shook his head and denied: "It's true that the Ding family has become our mortal enemy, but after all, I am still an official now, and the means that the Ding family can use are nothing more than assassination, for those shā shǒu, there is no difference between having two thousand people around me and having a thousand people, so don't make a fuss about the people, it will make the people uneasy, and everything is based on stability." ”

Seeing that Lu Peng couldn't say anything, Xu Jie solemnly said to Zhao Yun: "My lord will entrust it to the four generals." ”

Zhao Yun replied solemnly: "With me here, you can rest assured of the safety of my third brother." Now Zhao Yun calls Lu Peng the third brother, it is from the bottom of his heart, he has completely attached himself to Lu Peng from the heart.

"After Mr. goes back, he must quickly mobilize businessmen in Lu County to transport a batch of grain and grass, which is a top priority."

Originally, all the materials of the salt farm, including grain trading, were also monopolized by the Ding family, with high prices and inferior quality. Now that the power of the Ding family has completely withdrawn from the salt farm, the source of food has been cut off. And Lu Peng paid the salt farmers in advance, and the people started to cook salt in order to be able to eat and have the strength, which made the grain shortage in the salt field for a while.

The grain left by the Ding family was almost exhausted, and if there was no more grain to bring in, the entire salt farm would be cut off. And Lu Peng didn't want to and didn't have the energy to sell grain and make a profit in the middle.

Let go of the original Ding family's monopoly on the sale of salt farm materials to various merchants in the county, and you can also use this method to win over the merchants of Lu County, and at the same time let those businessmen benefit evenly, this is the way to benign development, business, or let go and invigorate.

"Don't worry, this lord, I'll do this as soon as I go back." Now the situation of the salt field, Xu Jie is also clear, so he did not delay, and ran back to Lu County with Xi Zhen Pegasus.

rushed to the county seat in the evening, and returned to the county government to directly invite Zhang Yan to inquire about the situation.

When everyone left, Zhang Yan was left behind because Lu Peng took a fancy to Zhang Yan's ability to be both literate and martial, and Zhang Yan did show his ability, just when all the people in charge were away, he managed this Lu County in an orderly manner.

However, he was negligent, but he didn't expect that he was negligent for a while, let the ranger rob the prison and save the son of the Ding family, Zhang Yan also knew what kind of trump card this son of the Ding family was in his hands, and as a result, he pursued it overnight, and finally let them escape into the manor of the Ding family, Zhang Yan could only return with hatred.

At this time, Xu Jie came back, and he took Yang Feng to report the whole thing to Xu Jie in detail, and then Zhang Yan suggested to Xu Jie: "This evil young man of the Ding family has escaped our palms, and the Ding family has no scruples. ”

"The lord is worried about the safety of Lu County, and he is also afraid that the Ding family dog, who has no fear, will jump off the wall and destroy the stability of Lu County."

Zhang Yan said: "There is a gentleman in Lu County who has come back to sit in the town, there should be no problem in terms of public security, and now I still have two thousand troops in my hands, plus General Yang Feng's subordinates, there are already two thousand seven hundred men, and there is absolutely no problem with the security of Lu County." ”

Looking at Xu Jie, who was thinking about it day by day, Zhang Yan continued with a worried face: "Now, the most likely target of the Ding family is definitely not Luxian but the lord himself, with the ability of the lord and General Zhao Yun, it is absolutely easy to deal with the assassination of some rangers, and if the Ding family launches the family armament, the salt field is not in danger, and the lord will be in danger, so I firmly believe that another 1,500 men and horses will be placed next to the lord, so that the plan can be perfect, and even if there is a change, I have an army of 2,000 here, There are also 2,000 men and horses around the lord, and they can also echo each other and reinforce each other, so as to ensure that something happens. ”

Xu Jie thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh Zhang Yan's foresight, it is not an exaggeration to be judged by the lord as a scholar and martial artist, just from his short suggestion, it can be seen that this person has a big strategy in his heart, and he is really a talent.

So, Xu Jie accepted Zhang Yan's suggestion and immediately ordered Xi Zhen to take 1,500 men and horses to the south overnight to reinforce the salt works.

Although Xu Jie is only a county commander now, he also has an important identity, that is, the military advisor of the Lu family's army, when Lu Peng is away, he can completely replace Lu Peng to give orders, Xi Zhen did not dare to slack off when he received the order, and he lit up 1,500 men and horses overnight and went south directly.

At dawn the next day, Xu Jie made an announcement and released a message to the merchants of the city, saying that there was a shortage of grain and other commodities in the salt field in the south, and that business opportunities, huge business opportunities had appeared.

As a result, things did not appear as Xu Jie imagined, and those businessmen actively trafficked. The grain merchants in the city turned a blind eye to this newspaper full of yòu huò, and treated it as if it were air, and no one responded at all.

Xu Jie felt that something was wrong with this, tens of thousands of salt households in the salt field, this is a huge consumer group, it was controlled by the Ding family, and other businessmen could only look at it with red eyes, and they couldn't eat it at all, and this time he brought this piece of fat to everyone, but this group of people didn't even move their chopsticks, there is definitely something greasy here.

I really want to summon these businessmen to come over and ask, but when I just took office, I sent an invitation to ask these wealthy businessmen to meet, but people ignored me, and no one will respond this time.

As a result, another situation made Xu Jie even more worried, that is, all the shops he visited, all the answers to him were that the master's family was not there, and he didn't dare to call the shots.

As a result, I ran for two or three days in a row, but there was no result.

It's strange that this thing is strange, do you still adopt a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude with yourself, or do you have something else to hide?
