Chapter 77: Selling Yourself
Someone led the way, and Jiang Yun came to the door of the Heart Raising House smoothly. www.biquge.info After the task of leading the way was completed, he stepped forward to say hello to the doorman, saying that Jiang Yun had something important to say, saving him some time to wait.
"There are people in the main hall who are doing business, you wait in the hall, and then go out after the people leave. Don't forget, you can only show up after people leave, the eldest lady likes to do things one by one, she is too anxious to provoke her dislike, if you want to be blasted out, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
"Thank you." After Jiang Yun said politely, he hurriedly entered the room.
After entering, he turned into the side hall, Jiang Yun looked for a chair, and before he sat down, he heard a man's voice next door, revealing a little helplessness.
"Zhongping, Buze, Yaocheng and other places have been infiltrated one after another, these are the places where my Lu family is heavily taxed, although there are still a few months before the New Year's Pass, but the subordinates assess the current situation, my Lu family's financial revenue in the coming year, I am afraid that it will be reduced by one percent compared with this year, the situation is not optimistic, it is easy to say elsewhere, but the military expenditure is already a little unsustainable."
"Yes." Lu Xun's cold voice sounded without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Subordinates, please order!" The male voice said angrily: "Please give the eldest lady 20,000 soldiers and horses to her subordinates, and the subordinates will lead the troops south, stick to the Mushui River, and drive the Yang and Li families out of my Lu family!" ”
"No, you don't." Lu Xun said coldly: "Although the southern lands are out of control one after another, the two families have never used swords, and they only use intimidation and temptation to encroach on them, and their behavior is indeed not glorious, but they have not broken the rules. If I rush into the army, won't I be honest and send them to the door to give them a chance to do it? ”
"But in the long run, it's not a thing! Where will military spending come from next year? ”
"Disarmament!"
"What?" The male voice was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "Eliminate the navy? ”
"Nope! Dismantle the border guards! Lu Xun said indifferently: "The Yang and Li families will not break the rules at present, and they will blatantly move troops with me, so that the border guards can be cut by half." The navy army is the foundation of my Lu family, if it can fight a water war, it can naturally fight a land war, and it will not be damaged at all, so my Lu family will not move, let them make trouble! ”
"The land of the ancestors, don't abandon it, eldest miss!" The male voice obviously disagreed with Lu Xun's approach.
"Patience! Only by being able to endure can things be done. For more than 2,000 years, how many families have arisen in Yizhou? Where are they now? Lu Xun smiled coldly: "The Lu family only needs to survive, and there is no need to dominate." You might as well remember that Shanyue is still there, no one can dominate Yizhou, and the so-called hegemony is just a flash in the pan after all. Mocheng is the bottom line of my Lu family, the land south of the city, it doesn't matter. ”
"But..."
"Stand down. Inform Lao Liu and send me this month's account book. Open source and reduce expenditure, I will find out which expenses are unnecessary, and I can save them. In any case, let's survive this year. I don't believe that these two wolves can really be so united! ”
"Yes."
The footsteps faded away, thinking that the person had left, Jiang Yun stood up and patted his buttocks, and stepped into the main hall with a flash.
Lu Xun was reading the official documents at the desk, looking at the copywriting full of things, Jiang Yun couldn't help but wonder, she really couldn't understand how she always had things that she couldn't deal with. In comparison, the leader of his own group of gods and sects seems to be a little unprofessional.
"I've seen the eldest lady."
Lu Xun didn't say a word, he was engrossed in holding the brush, constantly sketching something, and after a long time, he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Yun.
Not again! In an instant, that cold momentum rushed to his face, making Jiang Yun's little heart tremble uncontrollably. "Miss, are you done?"
"You are?" Lu Xunliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after a long time, two words floated out of his delicate red lips that made Jiang Yun almost vomit blood. "Who?"
Who is it? If I go, my brother will have a passer-by face? People don't even take it to heart.
"I'm Zhao Junren's cousin!"
"Oh." Lu Xun replied casually and buried his head again.
"We're back! Do you remember that agreement? Jiang Yun asked uncertainly, he really didn't dare to compliment this eldest lady's memory.
"Yes."
"That's good." Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Report to you, we have completed the task, but there was an accident, Zhao Junren let that Chang master arrest him." ”
"Oh."
Oh? That's it? Jiang Yun's eyes widened, his gaze was blank, this reaction was wrong! I don't know how to talk about your chat!
After a long time, Lu Xun raised his head again. "Is there anything else? It's okay to step down, I'm busy. ”
"I said, Zhao Junren was arrested and put in prison by Master Chang!" Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, his patience had gradually worn out.
"Well, I see, is there anything else?"
"I said what's the matter with you?" Jiang Yun said angrily: "We went to Yinan to find mink for you as agreed, nine deaths, and finally came back alive with mink, just after entering the mansion, Zhao Junren let Chang Daren arrest him in prison, and he will be beheaded outside the city in three days." In order to find this dilapidated house, I also spent a tael of silver, and I bought you an oh word for a tael of silver? ”
Compared to his temple, this is a dilapidated house, and the entire Lu Mansion is a dilapidated house! He didn't lie, Jiang Yun was rightly saying this! I've seen a score, I've never seen a score like this, what a thing!
Lu Xun looked at Jiang Yun strangely and said, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Let Zhao Junren go!"
When Lu Xun heard this, his eyes were even more strange, and he shook his head and said, "You are really funny." ”
Am I teasing? You're so funny, your whole family is funny! Jiang Yun was angry, and was about to speak, but he didn't want to be interrupted, only to see Lu Xun and his faction ask as a matter of course: "Why should I let him go?" ”
"He was wronged!"
"So what?" Lu Xun said coldly: "If you say wronged, you will be wronged?" You are his cousin, not my cousin, and not my Lu family, what position do you have to come here to avenge him? What's more, don't say it's you, Zhao Junren is not my Lu family, why should I stand up for him? ”
"You mean, the Lu family has a position to avenge Zhao Junren?" Jiang Yun was stunned.
"Yes."
"That's okay! You wait. Jiang Yun didn't say a word, turned around and left, what a big deal!
Jiang Yun just went out of the gate, and saw the little guy in green clothes not far away looking at him. "Why are you still here?"
The little guy smiled: "Isn't this afraid that my brother won't find a way out of the house, so he specially guards you, this time it doesn't take much, five dollars of silver will be done." ”
Young man, you're pretty good at business. Jiang Yun patted him on the shoulder with relief, took out a tael of silver from his arms, and said, "You don't need to go out, take me to see Steward Wang." ”
"Okay." The little guy was happy, and led Jiang Yun to lift his feet and leave.
The Lu family has a big business, and there are several housekeepers alone, Jiang Yun vaguely remembered that the surname Wang was in charge of personnel, and Zhao Junren often met with him when he sold fish, thinking that he should have a few friendships.
In the housekeeper's room, Steward Wang was leisurely drinking tea, and after Jiang Yun entered the house, he said straight to the point: "Steward Wang, right?" I'm going to sell myself! Hurry up, let's sign the deed of sale. ”
Steward Wang was stunned, he had been a housekeeper for some years, and it was the first time he saw someone selling his body so justifiably, so he refused without thinking about it: "The eldest lady has given an order, and she will not recruit people for the time being." ”
"Why?"
"No money!"
"I don't need money!" These few taels of silver, Jiang Yun really didn't look at it.
"If you don't want money, you can't do it!"
Yo, you're still on it? Look at my brother's worth, no one wants it for nothing? Jiang Yunhuo started from his heart, and didn't mention Zhao Junren's affairs, he took out a big silver ingot of fifty taels from his arms and threw it on the table. "As long as you buy me, this silver is yours!"
Don't give it away for free, do you want to post it upside down?
At present, no matter how stupid Steward Wang is, he knows how to do it. Hurriedly put on a smiling face: "Does this little brother want to sign a living deed or a death deed?" ”
"Living Deed!" Jiang Yun had no intention of working in the Lu family for the rest of his life, and he signed the death deed upside down, and he was not cheap enough to be that part.
"Okay." Steward Wang stood up, took out a pen and paper from the box on the side, and said, "Dip some ink on your thumb, just press a handprint here." ”
Jiang Yun didn't say a word, took the deed of sale, and pressed it very happily.
"Congratulations, little brother, from today onwards, you are from our Lu Mansion. This contract is not left by the old man, you take it, as for the time of selling your body above, how long do you like to write and write! By the way, the old man has to tell you that you don't have any money. ”
Wang Peel! Jiang Yun glared at him viciously, grabbed the deed of sale and turned around and ran towards the Heart Cultivation House.
