Zhang Guoan, the owner of Liuqiu Island, received a private letter from Jia Pingzhang not long after------- and he, like the Fa Ke system, has always liked to use his own private to send letters, and never used cheap and high-quality Shunfeng express delivery services. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are all like birds, but as long as they have power and money, they must do things differently from ordinary people.

Zhang Daozhu unfolded his private secret letter in the study and read it carefully------ Lao Jia was really a little anxious, and the big Song official seemed to be very sick this time.

Wang Defa's house and Jing's house were also in the study, but neither of them cared much about Lao Jia's letter.

Wang Defa's house used a pencil to scratch the wall chart on the wall of the study, and in his eyes, only the war in Shandong was the most important.

The quiet master looked at the information of tropical diseases in the database of his laptop------ this study room was not accessible to ordinary people, and it was heavily guarded.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said with a smile while reading the letter: "That Zhao Yu is sick again------- it looks like angina or something." ”

After Wang Defa's family heard this, he didn't look back, and said: "Lao Jia is content, his master has lived for several more years!" ”

In real history, this Great Song Dynasty official died as early as 1274------- can live until now, even if he is sick, it can be regarded as Lao Jia's blessing------ but unfortunately there is no way to say it to him.

The quiet master sighed and said, "That Lu Wende has not escaped his fate. ”

Still last year, as the Xiangfan front became more and more stable------- Lu Wende, the eldest brother of the Lu military group, was able to laugh to death at a family military meeting!

In real history, this big brother died much earlier.

In November 1269, Lü Wende was awarded the title of Young Master and renamed the Duke of Weiguo.

Lu Wende was so guilty that he died of a fever on December 10 of the same year------

However, in the current time and space, thanks to the overt and covert help of the forces of Liuqiu Island, they achieved a brilliant victory in the Battle of Xiangfan.

This made the people of the Lu military group very happy------- and more importantly, the subsequent various business transactions with Liuqiu Island made everyone in the group benefit!

Lu Wende was in a good mood, where was there any discomfort------- of course, except for what peace treaty was signed with the Tatar bandit group later, he found that he had been deprived of the civil power of this official position by the Jinghu system------ this situation was understandable, but he still felt a little unhappy in his heart------ which was not a very angry thing compared to the good situation of the Lu group.

Yang Wen suppressed martial arts, which was originally the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty.

The Lu group has now become a large supplier of commercial cotton in the Great Song Dynasty------ and the Jianghan region under their control soon became a cotton village where cotton was planted after the war, and the preciousness of peace was vividly reflected here, but the Lu group was secretly preparing to "develop" further north.

Their cotton seeds come from Liuqiu Island, and the yield is much higher than that of ordinary cotton seeds------ and Liuqiu Island itself is also one of the major buyers of Jianghan cotton, so even if it is more expensive to grow cotton than ordinary cash crops, it is very profitable, and this is enough.

The captive laborers under the control of the Lü military group were numerous, and they took care of the food of those people at most, and then under the "training" of leather whips, the captive laborers soon became skilled at planting, picking, and processing cotton.

Big profits often lead to big desires.

The experience of growing cotton for several years had taught them that further north, there was a better place to grow cotton------ but it was the land of the Tatar bandits.

The Lu military group actually appeared to fight to the north!

This is both unexpected and reasonable.

At the beginning, they begged for the blessing of heaven and earth, as long as they could hold the Jinghu Theater and Xiangyang------- war for them was just a forced battle to defend and hold the interests of the Lu military group!

Now, they have won each other!

The main forces of the Tatar bandit group had already moved north, and the military pressure of the Lü military group had suddenly decreased------- and at the same time, when cotton cultivation had become an extremely profitable industry, the land, especially the northern plains occupied by the Tatar bandits, had already made the eyes of some people in the Lü military group red.

Of course, there are also some members with vested interests who do not approve of rash ventures, and once this triggers a war, this is an act that does not outweigh the losses!

Brother Lu Wende laughed and coordinated the various demands within the group, there is no way, who called the Lu family a great business in the past few decades.

The sixth brother Lu Wenhuan, whom he valued the most, was transferred back from Liuqiu Island by him, and he didn't make any excuses for him at all------- no matter how good Liuqiu Island is, no matter how good it is, no matter how worthy of learning, it is not the Xiangfan area!"

Brother Lu Wende raised a thick finger and said, "Sixth brother, you remember!" In this world, only Xiangyang City is the foundation of my Lu family!! ”

After winning this battle of life and death, Brother Lu Wende was in the mood to start cultivating a successor for the Lu family------ he asked his sixth brother Lu Wenhuan to preside over the meeting for him many times in the family meeting, which was already an open announcement of his successor.

At that time, everything was fine, no one had an opinion on this arrangement, and the prestige of Brother Lu Wende was in full swing after all.

Lu Wenhuan proposed to increase the investment in the family business on Liuqiu Island------- and Lu Wende's eldest brother laughed, and he made a decision at that time to move all the people and industries in the family to there!

Lu Wenhuan proposed to continue to secretly send family soldiers to the Shandong region, as long as he fought a few battles with his heart, his Lu family would definitely be able to get a strong army------ Brother Lu Wende laughed, he made a decision at that time, except for the Black Carbon Army to stay in the Xiangfan area to take care of the family, all the other people and horses will take turns on the battlefield for me!

Lu Wenhuan proposed that he could make small strides towards the north, create small-scale friction and conflict, and encroach on the northern land by means of predicting the outcome------- Lu Wende's eldest brother laughed, he didn't say anything at the time, but when the two of them were in private, he vetoed this method.

Brother Lu Wende shook his head and said: "Sixth brother------ the person in charge of the big family's business, you can't do risky things for small profits------ and let me ask you, can there be a decisive battle on the Shandong Road?!" ”

"Not at this time, but the sixth brother thinks that the Tatar robbers will definitely not get any benefits------- the worst outcome is that the Liuqiu guards are in a hurry and can't eat the Tatar army in a hurry!"

"Haha, my sixth brother, you don't have to be anxious------- wait for them to divide the winners and losers, and then talk about it before it is too late------- those people in the clan who want cotton fields, you can let them go to Shandong Road and Liuqiu Island to buy them!

It's better to spend money than to use knives and guns------- and besides, you forgot the joint strategy with Jia Pingzhang------- no matter how powerful the Lu family is, you can't give others the truth that we will not be able to lose it! ”

Lu Wenhuan thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the eldest brother's thoughts, and he immediately made a bow respectfully, saying, "The sixth brother has been taught!" ”

Haha, the sixth brother is really a smart person, my Lu family is worry-free!

As a result, the happy life of Brother Lu Wende did not last long------ he died suddenly in an unimportant meeting.

The death of Lü Wende was a loss to the Song court.

This courageous charcoal merchant was brought under the command of Zhao Kui, the envoy of Huaidong, in 1230, and fought on the front lines in Jianghuai, Hubei, and Sichuan for more than 30 years, repelling the Tatar army many times and achieving remarkable results.

The imperial court gave him the nickname Wuzhong, and after the turn of the year, he was posthumously crowned the king of Heyijun, which can be seen in the recognition of his achievements.

His death was also a loss for the island.

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, never imagined that a local warlord would be so keen on business ------ extremely economically minded.

Even Jia Pingzhang disdained to deposit money into the Liuqiu Bank, nor did he disdain to borrow money from the Liuqiu Bank; But he dared to save money and borrow.

Liuqiu Money Bank had already listed such a large account separately------- and when he learned the news of his death, President Gu Jianshan said regretfully: "It's over, this year's credit business can't be overdone!" ”

Zhang Guoan said unconcernedly: "Don't jump to conclusions too early, let's see how his successor is." ”

At that time, the entire Lu Group was under the auspices of Lu Wenhuan and organized a funeral for Lu Wende.
