"Chang'anju's visit to the humble house really adds brilliance to the Burrow......"

Although he hasn't seen him for more than half a year, Lu Buwei still has a businessman-like smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze, and his thicker beard makes people have the illusion of a "nobleman", but this still can't hide his opportunist jackal eyes.

"Mr. Lu is really humble." Mingyue also saluted Lu Buwei in return, and at the same time looked at the land, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Lu is still called a burrow, then the mansion of the princes and sons will not also become a dilapidated house?" ”

Lü Buwei's manor is located in the suburbs of Puyang, surrounded by a large area of lacquer forests and fields, there are many lacquer workers in the lacquer forest who are busy back and forth, July is a good season for cutting lacquer, taking advantage of the rare sunny day, the lacquer workers are hurrying to pick and cut raw lacquer, they climb up and down on the lacquer trees, and work hard in the hot summer.

"My father was originally a small merchant who sold lacquer for this lacquer forest." As the host, Lü Buwei diligently guided Mingyue and introduced the history of his own development: "From buying an acre of lacquer trees to acquiring hundreds of acres of lacquer forests in this vicinity, it took a full 20 years......

"Mr. Lu's father is really not a layman, he started from scratch and became a hundred gold. When it comes to Mr. Lu, it is even more ......"

This Lu family from his father Lu Weng's generation, is relying on the lacquer dyeing industry to start, and then slowly began to buy Weiguo real estate, become a landlord, and his son Lu Buwei is more capable, the business to Yangzhai, Handan and other places, also concurrently engaged in the jewelry business, the family has a lot of money.

It is no wonder that Lü Buwei in history was able to bribe the wife of An Guojun, the crown prince of Qin, through money, if it were not for the huge wealth, it would never be possible to bear such a big burden.

Not to mention, in the past six months, he has made a windfall by relying on glassware such as "dragonfly eyes", which are rare in the world.

"It's all thanks to Chang Anjun's love, and he is willing to share the benefits with me."

In the past six months, the "dragonfly eyes" that bribed Hou Sheng continued to be made in the Chang'an Jun's mansion, by two magicians and some craftsmen. Mingyue needs a huge amount of money to run a fiefdom, but there are not many things available at hand, and brewing wine is a long-term thing, but glass can be made quickly. So he thought of Lu Buwei, although the last time the two discussed the sale of wine, there was no result, but it did not prevent the first cooperation on glassware, you know, in addition to selling lacquer, Lu Buwei also has a lot of ways in the jewelry business, and the positioning of the glass made by Mingyue for the warlock is a luxury.

So the two hit it off, and Chang'an Jun's mansion produced a part of the glassware every month, and Lü Buwei sold it on his behalf, and the profits were divided into seventy-three.

Although Chang Anjun took the lion's share, the remaining three points were enough for Lu Buwei to make a lot of money.

While talking, the two entered the "mansion" of Lu Buwei's family, the big mansion of the third entrance, and its luxury was no less than that of the ordinary feudal mansion, but many places were nondescript, full of local tyrants and nouveau riche.

Lü Buwei said with a wry smile that this is his father's preference, and Lü Weng's biggest hobby now is to constantly decorate the façade with extravagant things, and at the same time buy good fields and beautiful houses in various places, but Lü Weng is not at home, it is said that he went to Taoyi.

And the biggest feature of this mansion is that there are many beautiful concubines and dancing girls, in addition to lacquer dyeing and jewelry, Lü Buwei also operates the sound and color industry, taking advantage of Zheng Wei's voice and Sang Jian Pushang, the patriotic dancing girls he cultivated are very popular among the princes and feudal monarchs of various countries.

"Chang'an-jun, please." When he arrived in the hall, Lu Buwei invited Mingyue to enter, and respectfully invited him to the seat where he should have been the master.

Mingyue shirked it, but Lu Buwei said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the merchants ate in the government, and now the villain is the king of Chang'an, which is equivalent to eating in Chang'anjun, and Chang'anjun is also like my lord......"

These words were only naked allegiance, but Mingyue was not proud, because he didn't believe a word of what came out of Lu Buwei's mouth!

As far as Mingyue knows, in the past half a year, Lü Buwei has bribed Li Tan, who stayed in Handan to take care of the mansion, with money and silk and women, and has been trying to inquire about the production methods of glass and spirits, and even sent people to infiltrate the Chang'an Jun's mansion to try to find the two legendary warlocks who can "turn iron and stone into gold......

Fortunately, Li Tan didn't dare to accept Lu Buwei's bribe, and told Mingyue everything truthfully, and the Danfang and workshop of the mansion were also very well guarded, and there was no gap, and Lu Buwei's spies kept inquiring about some secrets because they were too restless, and they were also found out.

But the spy bit his tongue at the last moment, and from him, there was no evidence that Lü Buwei sent him, so he had no choice but to kill him.

As for how many of this person's eyeliners are still in the mansion, it is impossible to find out at all, Mingyue can only make the cronies in the mansion cautious, and at the same time feel jealous that Lu Buwei is a businessman, but he can support such a dead man.

So no matter how tempting the account books and profits that Lü Buwei presented every month, Mingyue has been silently warning herself that she and Lü Buwei are just a nest of snakes and rats, and once the interests come to an end, they may turn against each other at any time.

He has decided that the glass is just for his own profit, and it doesn't hurt to continue to hand it over to Lü Buwei to sell, but he can open a wine shop in Qi County, sell wine into the east of the Qin River, and disrupt the order of Qin with a serious method, which is related to the future layout, and Mingyue does not plan to let Lü Buwei participate.

Unless, he's really willing to take refuge in himself......

This time, Mingyue made a detour to Puyang, although he didn't come specifically for Lü Buwei, but he was willing to come to his house for a meal as the son of the feudal monarch, which was already to give Lü Buwei, a businessman, a big face, and in this situation, it was more convenient to say if he was tempted.

Lü Buwei was really interested in the spirits made by Chang'an Jun in Linzi, and in the banquet he arranged that night, he mentioned this matter three times and twice, depicting the wonderful prospect of cooperation between the two for Mingyue, but Mingyue blocked them one by one very tactfully.

Lü Buwei also sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere, and no longer mentioned the matter, but kept toasting.

While drinking, Mingyue's eyes rolled, and she suddenly smiled: "Mr. Lu's business is really getting bigger and bigger, and he will be Tao Zhu and Bai Gui ...... one day."

"How dare you compare with Tao Zhu......"

Lu Buwei was modest: "Tao Zhu Gong retired after success, three to a thousand gold, but our businessmen have to respect and worship the predecessors, now two hundred years have passed, and his descendants now control the trade of Taodi, whether it is Song, Qi, Qin, which country controls Taoqiu, they must respect Tao Zhu's family." As for me......"

He laughed at himself: "No matter how rich I am, I have nothing to do with you, and the nobles in Puyang City still regard me as a cheap businessman, so the son does not dislike me for being lowly and is willing to come to the door as a guest." “

Lu Buwei's attitude was sincere, as if Chang'anjun was the master of his acquaintance, but Mingyue had enough of these words that he didn't know whether they were true or false, so he thought about it for a while and decided to spread out the words.

"Otherwise, that Bai Gui was also born in a businessman, but later he became the prime minister of King Wei Hui, presiding over all the important affairs of the Wei State, digging a chasm, governing the turbid river, and making Daliang a place where the world's boats and cars gather. Doesn't Mr. Lu have this ambition to go from business to business? ”

"How dare you, how dare you."

Lu Buwei was still unmoved, he lowered his head and said: "The villain just wants to live in peace, support his father, and earn a few more acres of land for his children and grandchildren, and he has no interest in going out......"

"I don't think so?"

Mingyue smiled: "Weiguo has always produced talents, there have been Wu Qi, Shang Ying, etc., all of whom are great talents, but few people serve the country, and the reason is that Weiguo is too weak." “

Wei Guo used to be the prince of the Zhou Dynasty in the east, and his status was extremely high, but the more he went on, the more he declined, either by the Di people, or by the Jin and Qi slaughter, and he was also in internal strife. After entering the Warring States Period, the country was repeatedly contested by Wei, Zhao, and Qi, and became more and more decayed. By the time of the previous generation of monarchs and Wei Heijun, only Puyang was left in the country, and he was degraded to the title of Jun and became a vassal of Wei.

How could talents like Shang Ying and Wu Qi stay in such a weak country?

Mingyue continued: "I heard a story about Wei Sijun, when Wei Ren lobbied Wei Sijun like ears, and Wei Sijun was both happy and sighed. The attendant said and asked him, 'Why didn't the king let Ru'er serve as the prime minister?' He said, 'A horse like a deer can be worth a thousand gold, but a horse worth a thousand gold does not have a deer worth a thousand gold, because a horse can be used by man, but a deer cannot be used by man.' Now Ru'er is the material of the great power and the state, showing the willingness to seek a job in the big country, his heart is not in the defense of the country, although he has the ability to argue and resource, he cannot be used by the widow, so the widow does not let him be the prime minister. ’“

After a pause, Mingyue smiled and said, "I think Mr. also has the ambition to be like an ear?" Wei Guochi is small, and he can't fit Mr. This big fish that is about to jump over the dragon gate, I don't know which country Mr. prefers? Which sovereign? Do you have a plan in mind? ”

This is asking about Lu Buwei's ambition, and there is even a bit of ambiguous intention to win over, how can he not hear it?

Lu Buwei didn't expect Chang An Jun to suddenly change to such a topic, he was quick-witted, and he had already thought of countless ways to respond in an instant, but he just didn't plan to answer positively.

Because he hasn't thought about it yet......

It just so happened that at this time, someone from the family came to report, saying that a messenger from Puyang Weijun was here, saying that he wanted to take Chang'anjun into the city!

"Chang'anjun, this is ......" Lu Buwei felt relieved after being relieved, and at the same time looked at Mingyue pretending to be confused.

"I came to Puyang this time, but I came to celebrate Wei Jun's birthday on the order of my uncle Pingyuanjun, but unfortunately I was here for a long time, and Wei Jun saw that I was late, I am afraid that I was in a hurry."

Mingyue got up with a smile and bowed her hand to Lu Buwei: "What I said, Mr. Lu should think about it!" When Mr. Lu thinks clearly, it will not be too late for you and me to talk about the sale of wine. ”

He walked out slowly, and when he was about to cross the threshold, he suddenly turned around, glanced at the curtain in the hall that seemed to be slightly moving, and said with a smile: "By the way, sir, don't forget to say hello to Lu Weng for me!" “

……

As when he came, Lu Buwei still diligently sent Mingyue out for a long distance, and when he returned home, there was an old man with white hair sitting in the place where Chang Anjun had sat at the banquet, sitting behind the desk and feasting, not disgusted at all that this was a feast that had been eaten.

"Ah Weng ......" Lu Buwei is very helpless, his old father is this virtue, even if the family is rich, he still can't change the poor and sour appearance when he was a small businessman.

But even so, his father's advice often makes him empowered, after all, he is a human spirit who has experienced decades of ups and downs and knows everything about the temperament of the world, from the princes and kings to the peddlers and the common people.

Lü Buwei lied before, his father didn't go to Taoyi at all, and had been secretly observing Chang'anjun behind the curtain.

"How?"

Lu Weng sucked his greasy fingers with great indiscretion, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say last time that cooperating with Chang Anjun will make my family a thousand more profits?" Why are you hesitant now? ”

At this time, the flattery that Lu Buwei had just pretended to be completely gone, but said lightly: "Because I know Chang'an Jun's ambition, it's not just selling a little dragonfly eyes and spirits to make a profit, his ambition is great!" ”

Lu Weng stopped chewing meat: "Then what is Chang'anjun's ambition?" “

Lü Buwei didn't answer, but asked: "Dare to ask Ah Weng, how many times is the benefit of ploughing the land?" ”

Without thinking, Lu Weng said, "Ten times! ”

"How many times does Jewel win?"

Lu Weng wiped the greasy on his satin clothes and said, "A hundred times! ”

Lu Buwei's eyes flashed: "Then the master of the country, how many times will you win?" ”

Lu Weng became serious and said solemnly: "Countless! ”

"Chang'an Junzhi, does Ah Weng understand?"

Lu Weng was a little stunned: "It doesn't end here, right?" “

"The wise man sees it in the future, and others don't know about it, but I can see it."

Lü Buwei, who claims to be a wise man, commented: "Ah Weng imagines that a prince is restless and keeps his own fiefdom and lives cautiously, but on the cusp of this royal brother's suspicion, he is running around in Yan, Zhao and Qi, and thinking about letting something happen to the east of the Qin River, and he is planning to compete with Qin. Although everyone in the world knows that Qin is the great enemy of Zhao, is there really such a virtuous son who works tirelessly for the country and the people? The Xinling Jun of the Wei State is virtuous enough, but he is only recruiting one or two rural talents, but Chang'anjun, his hand has already reached under the grass and reached to me......"

Lü Buwei, who has always pursued Yang Zhu's egoism, quenched himself on the ground: "If it is said that he has no ambition and is dedicated to the public, it is absolutely impossible!" How can we do great things without taking authority first? No matter what Chang Anjun thinks now, within three or five years, if he doesn't reach the top position of Zhao State, what he wants to do will be restricted everywhere. I see this person's perseverance and painstaking efforts, and he will never sit idly by and watch things give up halfway, and when the time comes, he will do what he will do, and he will have to do it if he doesn't do it! If I had gotten on his ship for a little profit, I would have to take all the risks in the years to come! ”

"If that's the case......"

Lu Weng bowed his head, and then pouted: "It's difficult, it's really difficult, Chang'anjun's deal, if you do it well, you can make countless profits, but if you don't do it well, you may lose all your money, and even lose your life......"

"Yes, but that's more than that."

Lü Buwei walked to his father's side: "This son is too shrewd, and he will be the master in the future!" That's what I'm worried about, even if the deal is done, in the end, I won't even be able to earn back the capital......"
