"Seven Political Treatises on Astronomy", one of Zheng Xuan's major works. And Zheng Xuan, as a world-famous master of scripture at that time, how could he not order goods in his hands?

In fact, Zheng Xuan had already written the "Seven Political Treatises on Astronomy" a few years ago, and after coming to Yizhou and being given two injections by Lu Ren to continue his life, Zheng Xuan further improved the "Seven Political Treatises on Astronomy" and several other works. For Lu Ren, of course, he would not let go of this kind of thing that had a great attraction to the scholars and literati at that time, and on the other hand, a great Confucian like Zheng Xuan, when he heard that his works could be widely used in the world, naturally held an attitude of absolute support...... This is also a pursuit in the bones of the literati class? Anyway, it's good for both parties to work together, so we hit it off.

Then out of the rigor of the old man Zheng, of course, he will come to personally supervise the quality of the product, and Lu Ren will not make any excessive obstruction to the old man Zheng, so it is not strange that the old man Zheng will appear here.

These things will not have any psychological impact on Lu Ren, but for Liu Ye and Xu Shu, who have never said anything by Lu Ren's side, the psychological impact will be great. These two are still like this, and when the time comes, Lu Ren will sell these books to the territory of Cao, Liu, and Sun's three families...... Because of the suddenness of the incident, Liu Ye and Xu Shu both vaguely thought of something, but because their brains were a little dizzy, they were a little unclear.

――――――――――――――――――――

The time is already the end of the twelfth year of Jian'an, and at this time, Sun and Liu have to conduct a lot of intelligence collection and discussion with the current situation because of the sudden emergence of Yizhou.

Let's say that on this day, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su discussed again in the mansion, and it was not until dusk that Zhou Yu and Lu Su said goodbye to the mansion. Zhou and Lu walked down the stairs slowly, and Sun Quan had already prepared a big car for the two of them in front of the door. Zhou Yu hesitated slightly, and motioned to the coachman to go back by himself, he wanted to take a walk with Lu Su.

After walking and chatting, the two found a very elegant restaurant. Zhou Yu raised his eyes and looked at the restaurant and felt very satisfied, so he invited Lu Su to come in and ask for a first-class room, the two sat opposite each other in the room for a drink, and their attendants guarded outside the door.

Sitting down, Zhou Yu looked at no one nearby, shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Zijing, today I thought you would advise Wu Hou to order the blockade of the Lu clan in Wu County. ”

Lu Su shook his head a little helplessly and said, "After thinking about it, I don't dare!" Today's Wu Jun Lu clan is far from the almost defeated Lu clan who adhered to the ancestral business of Wu Jun back then. Gongjin, you are stationed in Chaisang, many things are not as clear as I feel here in Wu County, and now the Lu family business travelers in Wu County are almost all over Jiangdong, such as agricultural mulberry millet grain, firewood, rice, oil and salt, almost as long as it is a livelihood thing that can make money, they have nothing to get involved in. After a hasty calculation, it may be that the circulation of the livelihood of the people of Jiangdong controlled by the Lu family is about thirty percent, and it is likely that it is more than that. ”

Zhou Yu held the wine glass in his hand, and stood motionless for a long time, his two handsome long eyebrows knotted in the center of his eyebrows.

Lu Su continued: "Shicai still has a lot to say, and I don't dare to mention it in front of Wu Hou at all. Let's not talk about him first, but only talk about the cloth. As far as I know, there are at least two or three large fleets of ships in Yizhou every year to trade with the Lu clan of Wujun, and the high-quality cloth of Yizhou that comes with the ship is of great quality, but the price is only comparable to the inferior cloth produced in Jiangdong, and ordinary people's homes can afford to buy and use, and the quantity is staggering.

"Gongjin, you don't know, in the surrounding counties of Wu County now, almost all the folk clothes and cloths are produced in Yizhou, and the local cloth is either more expensive than it loses, or it can't be sold. My brother told me that there are many people in Wujun who originally planted hemp and raised silkworms and made a living by weaving and selling themselves, but concentrated on planting hemp and silk, and then reselling these raw hemp and raw silk to the Lu family in exchange for finished cloth or money and food to make a living, and in this way, life is even better than before.

It is said that Lu's business has always been honest and fair, so it has an excellent reputation among the people. After knowing these things, I thought that if I really asked Wu Hou to order the blockade of the Lu clan's trade in Wu County, first, it might not have any impact on Lu Ren and Yizhou, and second, it ...... There are so many hemp farmers and silkworm farmers, and suddenly the raw hemp silk in their hands has nowhere to sell, which is tantamount to cutting off their way of life. If the people have no way out, they will be forced to rebel. Cao Cao will go south in a few days, and the Jiangdong War is imminent, and if there is civil strife, it will be the way to defeat. ”

This is the result of Lu Ren and Shirley improving the loom, and Lu Ren opening a real textile factory in Yizhou.

Zhou Yu didn't know much about business matters, but he felt that Lu's business trip could not be easily moved, so he objected to it when he met with Lu Su a few days ago, but now he felt that Lu Su might have gone too far: "Business for profit is a matter of the next generation, why is Zijing so worried?" Will Wu Hou's order to block Lu's commerce really lead to such a big incident? ”

Lu Su must have been a businessman, and he knew more about this matter, so he analyzed to Zhou Yu: "In fact, Yizhou does not only have mutual market contacts with my Jiangdong, but also has the same business and trade with Hebei Prefectures. If our Soochow and Yizhou cut off the trade route and blockade the Lu family's trade in Soochow, the raw hemp, raw silk and other things needed by Yizhou can also be purchased in Hebei Zhudi, so there will be no damage to Yizhou.

"On the other hand, I, Dongwu, have to spend a lot of money, food and energy to appease the people who have been cut off from their livelihoods, and this matter is not a matter of several years. The big war was imminent, and Wu Hou couldn't spare the energy to do these things at all. If there are any more thieves who have the intention to spread rumors at this time, there will be chaos in several counties in Jiangdong. ”

Zhou Yu's brows tightened more and more, and he sighed lightly: "Zi Jing Gao Jian!" As for the vendors, I am far less clear than you, but I also vaguely feel that this cannot be the case, so I will discourage you and I when we talk a few days ago. ”

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu, shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about him first, Gong Jin, do you know how much money and grain taxes the Lu family pays every year here in Wu County?" ”

"Twenty percent...... No, about thirty percent? ”

Lu Su shook his head: "I'm afraid you won't believe it when I say it, and even I myself don't believe it after listening to Zhang Zibu say it." The taxes paid by the Lu family every year account for fifty percent of the taxes of Wu County, and this is only an account on the surface! If you include the money and grain they spend on paving roads, building bridges, and building water conservancy for Wu County and the surrounding areas, I am afraid that the annual tax of the entire Wu County is less than seventy percent of their clan's annual income! Ke Zijing, do you know that the Lu family of Wu County now has less than 500 households, and there are only 3,000 people! In this way, how rich has the Lu family of Wujun become? ”

Although Zhou Yu was mentally prepared, he was still stunned on the spot after hearing this number.

Lu Su said again: "Gongjin, I won't hide it from you, I have always been very close to the Lu family, for fear that the Lu family, who has such financial resources, will do something disobedient." However, over the years, the Lu clan has no one else to serve the army except for the necessary parts to protect the clan and various industries. I also deliberately wanted to restrict Lu's business affairs, but I couldn't do anything at all...... No, there's no way to start!

"The reputation of the Lu clan is too good, Gong Jin, have you ever seen the flow of people who rush to the Lu Clan's wharf trading house to buy and sell each other in the autumn season every year. That's not all, the Lu family will take out a large amount of money and food every year to give it to the navy, and now the navy warship is damaged and sent to the Lu dock for renovation, and they only charge the cost of work; There are also Lu family's adoption of orphans, opening schools, and helping the poor...... There are too many to say. In a word, if you really don't want to investigate carefully, you will do something to the Lu family, I am afraid that it will arouse public resentment at any time, and it will also damage Wu Hou's prestige. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed: "Yes, the Lu family has never done anything illegal, and it has a good reputation among the people. ”

The two sat down and sighed, and Zhou Yu said: "In the end, I'm still more worried that Lu Ren will use the people's life veins under his control to be detrimental to my Jiangdong. is still the same sentence, no one can say what kind of mentality this person is, if he is really ordered by Cao Cao, the consequences will be unimaginable. But at this time, we can't touch him......"

Lu Su said: "Some time ago, the county lord suddenly left a book and left the house, saying that he was going to play for a few months. ”

Zhou Yu muttered: "The county lord can be said to have played all over Jiangdong, but generally every few months or half a year, he will go to the county governors to send a letter back to Wu to report his safety, but this time it is really too long, and the county guards have never learned the whereabouts of the county lord." Well? ”

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu, then nodded.

It didn't take much to say, and the two of them also understood something. Indeed, if their calculations were correct, there are many things that would be much easier to explain. After a long time, Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "Zijing, you must be careful about the affairs of Yizhou. Originally, I really wanted to go to the meeting, but I couldn't leave Chaisang...... Jiangxia's current guard is Liu Qi, but he may attract a hero like Liu Bei at any time, and he can't be careful. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Xinye, Liu Bei's residence.

Liu Bei held the list text passed by Xuchang in his hand, and his expression was very puzzled. And beside him sat a person, with a crane scarf and a feather fan swaying gently, fluttering like a fairy wind.

"Sir, what is the purpose of the court suddenly sending this list?"

Zhuge Liang smiled but did not speak, Liu Bei asked a few more times before Zhuge Liang slowly spoke: "Lord, according to Liang's foolish opinion, please prepare as soon as possible." ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Zhuge Liang got up slowly, walked to the map on the wall with his signature feather fan and looked at it for a long time, then turned around and said to Liu Bei: "Cao thief coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the government was controlled by him, so this list is really from the hand of Cao thief."
