Chapter 522: For the Future
"If you two just want to thank me, you don't have to." Lu Xiangchuan finally said to Du Qingfu and Qiao Shan. The two of them just thanked them, and there was really no need for this. He is an official, the Du family is a people, and Xie is a little nondescript.
Nowadays, some administrative departments, after handling cases, like to receive some pennants, thank-you letters, or something. In fact, they just did their job well, what qualifications do they have to receive the pennant? It's a complete mess!
However, this kind of thing often happens, and it is really inexplicable.
Du Qingfu and Qiao Shan listened to Lu Xiangchuan's words, and they seemed to have the meaning of sending off guests, and they also knew that in this extraordinary period, Lu Xiangchuan did not have much time to hang out with them. Therefore, the two of them also decided to tell Ritsu Kagawa about the business they were going to do this time.
"Ahem, in fact, this time, the two of us also have something to explain to the general, and ask General Lu for help." Moistening his throat, Du Qingfu opened his mouth and said to Ritsu Kagawa.
Ritsu Kagawa was slightly surprised, and he said, "I don't know what else the two of you have to do, and you want to ask me to help?"
Du Qingfu said: "When my two brothers entered the city, the eldest of the family once told us that if there is something that cannot be resolved, we can ask General Lu for help. General Law is kind-hearted and warm-hearted, and he will definitely help us. ”
The words of the eldest in the family, we always remember them. At this time, we waited all the way to come here, one after another, and encountered all kinds of dangers, so I was deeply disturbed. For the sake of all plans, if we want to put the Dujiazhuang Courtyard under the wing of General Law, or if General Law can defend our garrison, then we will be grateful. ”
This, is the Du family going to take refuge in him? Simply asking him to send troops to protect their Du family is unprecedented.
But if the Du family is willing to integrate with these soldiers, then they send troops to protect it, which is equivalent to protecting their own private property, so there is nothing to say.
But in this case, the interests of the Du family will be damaged, because the Du family will definitely take out a part of the interests and hand them over to Ritsukagawa. This is equivalent to the so-called entrance fee now. Or protection money.
And it's not too small.
Of course, this kind of damage to interests is true in the short term, but in the medium and long term, it is not necessarily.
Because the Du family took refuge in them, it was tantamount to making a long-term investment. And on Ritsu Kagawa's side, there is still a royal family. If the royal family rises in the future, Ritsukagawa will naturally gain power. Then those of them who took refuge in Ritsukagawa early will naturally be able to reap huge benefits.
If the Du family has such an idea, it must mean that the old man Du Yanling wants to make a big gamble. He bet his treasure on Ritsukagawa's body. If the bet is won, their Du family may be able to go to the next level in the future.
But of course, if the bet is lost, their Du family, of course, will also suffer a lot of losses. This, but it depends on how the Du family weighs it.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that the Du family has made a decision to go to Ritsukagawa's side. Perhaps, when they came to Xinyang, Du Yanling instructed their Du family.
And for this kind of thing, will Ritsu Kagawa refuse? Definitely not. The addition of any new force is a complement to them. They only have such a small amount of strength now, can they not seek more allies?
If he refuses, he won't be stupid.
Therefore, after listening to their words, Ritsukagawa thought for a while, and agreed to their request. Originally, according to his intentions, he would not hesitate for a moment, and then agreed to the Du family. After all, this kind of opportunity is very rare. It's better to have allies and help than nothing.
However, in terms of face, he still has to be reserved for a while. Otherwise, the people of the Du family still think that they are very easy to climb here! They always have to give the impression that they are very picky.
In this way, in the hearts of others, they will really value them.
Lu Xiangchuan said to Du Qingfu with a deep groan: "This, since Mr. Du and all of you have such a new trust in me, then I thank you for your wrong love for me." I will explain this matter to Liu Zhi and let him handle this matter properly. You two can rest assured, you can go back. ”
And seeing that Lu Xiangchuan agreed like this, Du Qingfu and Qiao Shan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they thanked Lu Xiangchuan again: "In this way, we really thank General Lu Xiangchuan."
After speaking, the two of them happily resigned from Ritsu Kagawa and went back.
Well, they seem to have someone trying to take refuge in them now! Ritsu Kagawa thought to herself.
However, the problem is that Xinyang is not their territory after all, and after Liu Biao and Cao Cao have held each other for a while, he will come back and deal with them.
At that time, the emperor will have a passive time again.
And the Du family and them can only cut off contact again. Because the roots of the Du family are in Xinyang, without Xinyang, they have no value. At that time, even if he was attached to the royal family, it would not make much sense.
Therefore, now the small forces and small wealthy clans in various places, even if they express their attachment to the emperor's side, it is meaningless, and it is still difficult to form a real alliance between the two.
If the actual rulers of various places want to cut off the connection between Emperor Xian and the local people, it is still very easy. Ritsu Kagawa also saw this very clearly at this time.
However, the reason why this phenomenon occurs is because the central government of Emperor Xian is too weak! If one day their central government becomes stronger, then they will have to squeeze all the places, and some small and medium-sized wealthy families like Du Yanling will support them, but I am afraid that the process of their promotion to various places will still be relatively easy.
Therefore, the things that Ritsukagawa is doing now are not useless. It's just that it's not that useful, and it's not so effective.
However, the foundation had already been laid at this time, and it would certainly be much easier for him to advance his plan in the future. These things, of course, have been thought out clearly in Ritsu Kagawa's heart. So there are some things that he still has to do, even if they don't work out now.
After going through all these complicated things in his heart, Ritsu Xiangchuan was about to take a break, but at this time, Duan Yi came in and reported to him: "General, Du Qinglu of the Du family outside, and the two girls of the Qiao family, they all said that they asked to see the general, may I ask the general to see him or not?"
