Chapter 205 If you want to ask for a thousand gold, why bother to say it
"What the hell are you doing?" Lu Bucai didn't believe that Qin Xu would have any so-called windfall, thinking that this kid could even forget to receive his own money, crying poor in front of him, and even the Mi family's share of the profits made in the sea salt making method never took it, which made Hao Meng greedy for a long time. Besides, the entire Qingzhou belongs to him Lu Bu, and what kind of ingredients do you need Qin Xu's kid to send?
"Lord Mingjian! It's true that Xu has been lucky recently, some windfalls, the two ladies took care of Xu when Xu Shenke was there, Xu was very grateful, and then Ling'er, cough cough, Xu should also do his filial piety, right? The corners of Qin Xu's mouth were slightly hooked, but he was not taken by Lu Bu's eyes like fire, and said to Yan and Diao Chan with a shy face.
"It's good that Zhong Ming has this heart, so why break the bank? You don't have much money, and you still have your brother's family to support...... "Yan is a typical good wife and mother, who loves the house and Wuxia, and naturally looks at Qin Xu, his son-in-law, the more pleasing he is, and there is a lot of thought for Qin Xu in his words.
"Madame, don't listen to the boy's rhetoric! The name of this 'human trafficker' Qin Zhushu is already stinking on the street, but you and other women think he is a good person! Lu Bu saw that Qin Xu was getting more and more energetic, and Yan's motherhood had already been stimulated by this kid, so he interrupted what Yan said, and asked Qin Xu with some ill intentions: "Tell me, what kind of windfall, don't it be the private money given by your father-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, etc.?" ”
"This ......" is indeed a hard injury, no matter how enlightened the old mother-in-law is, she will not want her son-in-law to go home one by one. And Lu Bu obviously did it on purpose, after saying this. Sure enough, looking at Yan's Diao Chan and even Cao's family, they were a little embarrassed, and there was also a bit of inexplicability in their eyes when they looked at Qin Xu.
Bad dishes! Qin Xu said secretly. Lu Bu, who knew that he was misrecognized by the world, also had a lot of experience in this change, but he could still hit the muzzle of the gun vigorously. Isn't this a pure old birthday star hanging?
"The lord said this, but he misunderstood! Didn't the lord also empathize with the situation at that time? "That's it, that's it, you're unkind as an old man, don't blame us for being a son-in-law! If you want to die together, Ling'er doesn't care much about this. Qin Xu made a heart and said pointedly.
"Hmm......" Lu Bu really didn't expect Qin Xu to really talk back in order to avoid Yan's scrutinizing gaze. Burning the flames of war on himself, he couldn't think of anything to say for a while, and he looked at himself with a weak heart, obviously focusing on himself and lowering his head. Even the neck was red and Cao Shi, who was still a little girl, was almost choked by the wine, and glared angrily at Qin Xu, who was almost attached to Lu Lingqi's body: "You shaft, what the hell is going on." Eat as much as you want. Who's holding you back? Can't such a delicious meal stop your mouth? ”
"Lord, Xu and the eldest lady are in love, but the official is small, and the pocket is shy......" Seeing that Yan and Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu with an unkind appearance, Qin Xu didn't dare to make things bigger, in case Lu Bu secretly made a small trick for himself, seeing that Lu Bu's true fire was about to be aroused, Qin Xu changed his words. Suddenly got up and bowed down, but it seemed that he had long been accustomed to this kind of scene. Lu Lingqi, who was looking at herself with a smile and a smile, also pulled down the water and said: "Fortunately, the will of heaven is in Qingzhou, Xu has recently luckily got the news that Kan Xuan ransacked Pengcheng and Donghai two counties on the same day, and I want to take this as a dowry, please ask the lord and wife to be gracious and marry Ling'er to me!" ”
"What? ......" As soon as Qin Xu's words came out, not to mention being shocked, Lu Bu didn't swallow a sip of wine and squirted out, almost choking, that is, even the three ladies of the Lu family looked at Qin Xu with a look of surprise and joy, and Lu Lingqi even heard what Qin Xu said, and shyly ran away from Qin Xu, hiding in Yan's arms and covering his face and not daring to raise his head, but just happened to glance at Qin Xu with a sincere face from between his fingers.
"Zhong Ming, since you really got some windfall, just keep it for yourself, the matter between you and Ling'er has already been decided to be made public, your parents are not there, I am equivalent to Fengxian who will regard you as my own, sooner or later, I and Sister Hongchang will take care of you and Ling'er, why do you need to be so rigid about the old rites and add to the cost!" It's good to have such an enlightened mother-in-law! Yan's current appearance, how can he still have half of the meaning of complaining about Qin Xu just now, as Lu Bu's wife, how could he not know that sometimes things like Lu Bu and Qin Xu for Qingzhou sometimes can't help themselves, but they just took the opportunity to say some small words to warn the two of them, but unexpectedly provoked Qin Xu like this.
"Wait!" Lu Bu saw that the Yan clan was given a brush-off of what had just happened under Qin Xu's words, and there was really news that Kan Xuan had robbed the goods, so no matter how big his brain was, he also felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly intercepted what Yan wanted to say, and said: "This Kan Xuan looted the two counties that day, how much grain and grass did he get?" ”
"Bongxian!" Yan didn't wait for Qin Xu to answer, then his face turned cold, and he snorted coldly at Lu Wenhou, who everyone in the world was afraid of: "You are already the lord of Qingzhou, why are you still bothering about these things with your juniors?" If it spreads, what kind of system will it be for people to listen to Yue Weng's single-minded calculation of his son-in-law's wealth? ”
"This ......" has been the chief bookkeeper for several years, and Lu Bu, who is quite sensitive to military resources and grass, did not expect his wife to transfer her mind to her son-in-law so quickly, and even Diao Chan looked like she was strongly supporting the Yan family, and couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, but she still closed her mouth obediently, but a pair of tiger eyes stared at Qin Xu, and the meaning of "threat" was self-evident.
"Mother-in-law! No wonder the lord is like this! Qin Xu is used to climbing along the pole, and he will change his name by taking advantage of the situation, and glanced at Lu Lingqi, who was looking at him in Yan's arms because of what Lu Bu said just now, with a nervous expression, took a deep breath and said: "According to reliable information, the military grain, grass and coins of Pengcheng and Donghai counties looted by Kan Xuan are only about double the total annual harvest of the three counties and three places in Xuzhou. ”
"Poof! How much? Not to mention Lu Bu now, even Yan and Diao Chan, who had not paid much attention to it, sat up straight in surprise. How much is Xuzhou's income in a year, the specific figure is not clear to outsiders except for the old Tao family in Xuzhou, but it is conceivable that Xuzhou has always been less war-torn and is known as a rich land, since Tao Qian entered Xuzhou, under the rule of hard work, there is even a saying that the grain and grass coins obtained in a year can be close to Luoyang when it was not burned by Dong Zhuo, if it is said that ten times that Qingzhou is tired, it may be an exaggeration, but five or six times can only be said to be a conservative estimate. So what Qin Xu just said about doubling Xuzhou's total income in a year, can it be understood that it is at least the sum of Qingzhou's income in ten years?
This Xuzhou is really rich in flowing oil!
This Kan Xuan can really make a living!
This Qin Xu really dares to speak!
"My lord? Madam? Seeing that Lu Bu and Yan both behaved after hearing what Jia Xu said at that time, even Diao Chan, who was used to seeing the world, looked surprised, only the Cao family, who lowered his head, did not move, and I don't know if this shy little lady of the Lu family could listen to it at all.
"Qin Xu, do you know what a lot of military money this is? It's almost ten years of income in Qingzhou! If someone else gets it, it's more than enough to recruit troops and dominate the side, why are you? ......Although Lu Bu has always been full of trust in Qin Xu, he was also very surprised that Qin Xu was not moved by so many goods, and the so-called people who are not moved by gold and silver must have great desires, so he asked with a calm face and some doubts.
"First, Asahi doesn't have the ability to take it back! The second is that even if Asahi takes it back, there is no place to put it! The third is that there is nowhere to spend even if you take it back! Qin Xu made a bitter face, quite out of the light of Lu Bu, who thought that Qin Xu was going to take the opportunity to say something like loyalty, but it seemed quite reasonable to say this, but in fact it was no different from nonsense.
"Could it be that you don't have what you want?" Lu Bu looked at Qin Xu in amazement and seemed to be quite aggrieved when he said this, but Diao Chan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Mrs. Ren! Xu is not a saint, how can he ask for nothing? Qin Xu got up, looked squarely at the top ace female spy who was known as one of the four beauties in history, and said pointedly: "Didn't Xu already ask the lord to marry the eldest lady?" It's just a matter of handing over the right hand, and it's almost the same as Xude. Besides, Xu still has a business matter, and I hope the lord can agree. ”
"It seems that Zang Ziyuan can't convince a certain family, so he actually asks for you?" Maybe it was Qin Xu's bluntness that reached Lu Bu's heart, after getting Qin Xu's ambiguous answer, Diao Chan seemed to have gotten a satisfactory answer, and did not continue to ask, Lu Bu's face also went through the initial uncertainty, and gradually calmed down, and he didn't mention this rather embarrassing thing again, and there was a little smile between his words, and said: "How can you not know the importance of the plains and the Beihai, and a little grain and grass will not hurt Qingzhou's roots, but this is obviously a calculation that I don't know who it is, and what I want is to let someone suffer a big loss no matter what, I really can't see it, right? also fabricated two food officials, and a certain person really couldn't swallow this breath! ”
"It's really weird." Qin Xu glanced at the four daughters who were not interested in talking about political affairs with Lu Bu and himself, and said: "But no matter whether someone really takes this matter in the future, if you don't appease the officials and people of the two states in time, I'm afraid that you will really fall into the calculations of the people behind it." If you don't have Zang Sima to deal with this matter with full authority, and then ask Feng Xiao to help, I think that there is General Wenyuan in the plains of the army, coupled with Feng Xiao's wisdom, when there is no chaos, Feng Xiao of the province will be busy with official business all day long and linger in the flower wine shop, and empty his body in vain. ”
"Hmph, if you want to call the trap camp, just say it, don't you really know what you're talking to the guards at the door of the mansion? Why do you do filial piety? Lu Bu saw through Qin Xu's little abacus at a glance, turned his face away, drank the last mouthful of corn and meat soup, and said without looking back.
"Promise ......" (To be continued......
