After Lu Peng and Liu Guanzhang entered the courtyard under the leadership of Zou Jing and Guan Yin, there were already small servants who opened the curtain in front of the Jingshe, and several people entered according to the order.

Entering the house, because the windows were open, the room was not dim, only to see rows of huge bookshelves against the wall, on which there were countless books densely listed, and in front of the bookshelf, there was a mat, and there was a row of small desks on the mat.

Behind the first case, there was a middle-aged man who was in good spirits, looking through the thick slips on the desk, and when he saw a few people coming in, he put down the slips in his hands with a smile, and stood up with his hands on the table, it seemed that he had been kneeling for too long, and his legs were a little numb, so he shook a few times, and the boy in the Tsing Yi hat standing behind him hurriedly supported him with both hands, and Liu Yan gently shook him away, and was about to come forward to receive him.

Zou Jing laughed, and after saluting Liu Yan, he persuaded him: "You and I are acquaintances, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Liu Yan smiled kindly at Zou Jing, and then smiled slightly at Guan Dian and Liu Bei and others: "The recent war situation is complicated and critical, and I sat (kneeling) here to deal with it before dawn, and my legs were numb for a while, it was really inconsiderate, forgive me." Then he said to the little guy next to him: "Tea." ”

For the Chinese chair, it is not that everyone takes it for granted that it is a bearded stool, in fact, it only appeared after three hundred years with the prevalence of Buddhism, and now, it is still kneeling to sit is the most noble

This action gives people a sense of affinity, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, which makes Liu Guanzhang and Lu Peng feel moved.

Zou Jing knelt down after Liu Yan's left hand, Guan Qi sat down on his right hand, and Liu Bei took a seat.

Lu Peng and Guan Zhang's identities are really humble, they can only stand behind Liu Bei, and they are not even qualified to kneel and sit.

However, Lu Peng was very happy about this treatment: "Who wants to kneel and sit, that is to suffer, I like to stand, of course, except after I build my own stools, tables and chairs in the future." At that time, why are you sitting and I standing, you eat and I watch, so am I a little miserable? ”

No one cares about Lu Peng's messy thoughts, a pawn, a militia platoon commander, in front of the commander of the eight military regions, in front of the commissioner of the regional administration, that is the air.

Liu Yan first asked Guan Yu about the situation of going out to gather the villagers from all over the country.

Guan Yi reported the work in detail, and then solemnly launched the first person of these militia townsmen - Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei immediately straightened his waist, arched his hands, and solemnly reported: "Certain, a clan relative of the Han family, the great-grandson of King Jing of Zhongshan for eight lifetimes, surnamed Liu Mingbei Xuande, tasted the teacher Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi, and Gongsun Zhan and other friends. "Lu Peng's bad cold, this introduction is simply all-encompassing, if it weren't for the pavilion chief of his family, he really couldn't get on the stage, maybe he could be fooled out by Liu Bei to put on a façade.

As a result, Lu Peng was cold, it doesn't mean that other people don't accept it, this era pays attention to a family of origin, although you have sold straw sandals, but your background is your background, which cannot be erased.

So Liu Yan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but lean his head out, according to the habit of Chinese people who are willing to climb a family wherever they go, and said happily: "Emotional Xuande is still a royal Miao descendant, and this official is after King Lu Gong, so in this way, you and I are originally a family of clan relatives." Then he stroked his beard and praised: "Our heavenly family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are capable people from generation to generation, I see that Xuande Yu Xuanang looks strange, and it will become a big weapon in the future, such as the rising star of my royal family, come and come, you and I will discuss the total score, and describe the elder and youngest." ”

As a result, at the serious military discussion, a bloody drama of climbing relatives and checking genealogy was staged.

Liu Bei checked the genealogy in order to climb the high branches, and Liu Yan checked the genealogy in order to pull Liu Bei, a powerful figure, for his own use, and the two of them took what they needed and enjoyed it.

In fact, there is no ready-made genealogy to check, everyone pretends to talk nonsense, and the final result of the investigation, Liu Bei is of course Liu Yan's nephew, Liu Bei immediately made a surprise, and hurriedly paid a big salute again, calling him uncle. At this time, you can't call yourself a brother in front of the district commissioner, it has nothing to do with age, it has to do with official status.

Liu Yan laughed, was in a good mood, stroked his beard and shouted to take care of the loss, and then give Liu Bei, a nephew, 200,000 yuan, 2,000 grains, 100 pairs of good iron armor, and 100 war horses, as a gift for the family to meet.

Of course, the management of the loss was immediately recruited, and Lu Peng, who was in charge of logistics, was handed over to the Daozhou warehouse.

The state treasury was so huge that it was heinously heaped with countless amounts of money and grain, and the grain that flowed out of the barn was rotten and spoiled, and the stacks of copper coins were rusted together.

Lu Peng couldn't help but sigh, there is so much money and food, but when there is no harvest in this great drought, he does not give even symbolic relief to the people who are already desperate, but still urges the people in every possible way, how can the world not die?

Guan Yi took Lu Peng to the treasury first, took Liu Yan's warrant to receive the full amount of 200,000 copper coins, and then slowed down and looked at Lu Peng with a smile.

Of course, Lu Peng knew, so he said loudly: "When Mr. visited Zhangjiazhuang last time. Seeing that our army was disheveled, the armor was missing, and there was no food to eat, Mr. took pity on him, and borrowed 100,000 yuan from the army for emergency. ”

100,000 yuan is definitely a huge amount, and at that time, when the purchasing power of money was absolutely strong, this money made Guan lose and become rich.

Guan Yi smiled and replied very righteously: "What did Mr. Lu say?" At that time, I saw that several of your brothers were eager to serve the country. It is also natural to empathize with some money to come to the pillar. Don't talk about it again. ”

Lu Peng refuted very stubbornly: "The public welfare in the world is in the hearts of the people, and Mr. is infatuated with the sun and the moon, but my Mr. Guan's clothes are simple and the shoes and socks are tattered, and I think it must be that the family is poor and poor, especially Mr. Walking in the Taishou Mansion, it is still necessary to have decent access to it, not to mention that I am also Mr. Wen Ting, who is supported by a high old mother, and raised by his wife and children, and has two meals a day. At that time, I felt the same feeling. As he spoke, Lu Peng's eyes were slightly red, and tears were about to flow down.

Guan Yi was also moved by what Lu Peng said, and it seemed that he was definitely so poor, and his eyes couldn't help but be sour and red, and he sighed again and again. It's just that I don't know how my family is so poor that I can take out a huge amount of 100,000 yuan to sponsor others.

In the end, Guan stomped his feet: "That's it, that's it, it's you who let me reduce my loyalty, well, that's good, I'll get back half of the 50,000 yuan, which is counted as supporting my family, and then I will count it as a heartfelt patriotic thought." ”

So Lu Peng was grateful, so the people around him all boasted about the loss.

This is the noblest way to give and receive gifts, otherwise how can a pile as big as 50,000 dollars be carried home in a grand manner?

After repaying the 50,000 yuan, the pace of managing losses is also brisk, and the work is also smooth, and the memory is not good.

The original 2,000 pieces of grain were directly allocated to 5,000 pieces, the original 100 sets of iron armor became 200 in a blink of an eye, and the original 100 war horses immediately became 300 horses.

Lu Peng took out another 50,000 yuan, sprinkled copper money rain in the state warehouse, from the concierge to the small officials, to the chief official of the warehouse, and did not leak, so that Guan Yi once again saw Lu Peng's prudence and tactfulness in doing things, so that his 50,000 yuan did not have to worry about the insider to denounce it, so all the things asked for were not lacking.

If you get less than 100,000 yuan, just an extra 200 war horses are worth at least 2 million yuan, and there is also the fine iron armor, which is difficult to buy even if you have money, and it is really a big profit.
