Chapter 176: Appeasing the Family
"Oh!" Lu An nodded, feeling a little lost in his heart, Qiao Xuan, that old man has a very high opinion of himself, and he is a bird, far less than a hair of the beautiful woman in front of him!
"Hmph, people think that villain is nothing great, far worse than Brother Lu!" Xiao Qiao seemed to really hate the villain Lu An in her own imagination, and couldn't listen to any words of praise for him, so she was very angry.
"Little Qiao, you think too highly of me, I am only a white body, how can I be compared with such a powerful prince!" Seeing Xiao Qiao's angry appearance, Lu An couldn't help but laugh dumbly, I don't know what kind of expression this little girl will have on her face when she knows that she is the same person as the villain Lu An in her impression, well, it will be very exciting.
"Brother Lu, if you can defeat that very powerful monster, you must be more powerful than that Lu An, and you look ten thousand times better than that ugly monster!" Little Joe was sure of his judgment.
"Little Qiao girl, you haven't seen that Lu An again, how do you know that he is ugly?" Lu An asked.
"Because he's very bad, he must be ugly, well, he must have a thick waist like a millstone, and his face looks like the monster that was defeated by Brother Lu, fat, short and ugly!" Xiao Qiao said confidently. As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, as if she really saw the fat, short, and ugly villain.
"Huh!" Seeing her sinister appearance, Lu An couldn't help but wonder, he couldn't imagine that there would be such an innocent and immaculate girl in this troubled world, thinking that if she hadn't been born in this rich family, I am afraid that she would have been abducted and trafficked a long time ago.
"Brother Lu, what are you laughing at?" Little Joe asked.
"No, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, that villain Lu An must be short, fat and ugly!" Lu An said and deliberately gestured.
"Master Lu, why are you just messing around like Wan'er!" Seeing Lu An's example of learning from Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao couldn't help laughing, this Lu Gongzi was really gentle, knowing that his sister's statement was untenable, but he didn't care, but was very patient to play with her.
"Where are people messing around, that villain Lu An obviously looks like that!" Xiao Qiao was very dissatisfied with his sister's attitude of obviously not trusting his own judgment.
、、、、、、、
"Big Miss Qiao, Miss Little Qiao, thank you for your hospitality, Lu has been out for a long time, it's time to leave!"
After a very pleasant exchange with the sisters, Lu An got up and said goodbye, his identity is extraordinary, it is a rare leisure to be able to come out alone and hang out, but this time it is really worth the trip, in addition to seeing the two beautiful women again, it also made him realize that his feelings about those families seem to be really neglected, maybe he himself did not plan to do anything to those families, but to his current status, often a casual attitude can determine the life and death of a group of people, This is the supreme majesty of power.
"Huh? Brother Lu, are you leaving? "Xiao Qiao is very reluctant to Lu An.
"Well, there's still a lot of business to attend to at home today!" Lu An smiled at her. He also likes this pair of sisters very much, but he can wait until the next meeting.
"Then you're going to come to me and play with my sister in the future!" Xiao Qiao said coquettishly.
"Okay, I will definitely visit Duke Qiao's mansion when I have time!" Lu An nodded and strode away.
"Ah, you just forgot where Brother Lu lives?" After Lu An left, Xiao Qiao was stunned for a while, and then suddenly said.
"You Nizi, you really don't have any shame at all, are you still planning to go to the door to find Lu Gongzi in person, besides, if Lu Gongzi really wants to see our sisters, he will come to visit!" Da Qiao said angrily.
Back at his mansion, Lu An was ready to start dealing with today's government affairs, but when he saw the pile of documents submitted by the counties and counties of Jiangdong in the hall that were almost full of the entire table, his brows were furrowed, although Jiangdong is not stable now, but there are so many things to deal with every day, and sooner or later he will be exhausted.
"Go and call Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Sun Shao over to see me!" After casually flipping through a few books, Lu An was still on the side, and instructed the little officials serving on the side.
"Yes!" The little official bowed his hand slightly and walked out.
"See the lord!" After a short time, Sun Shao and the three of them came to salute.
"Get up!" Lu An raised his hand to get them up, and then his eyes kept scanning the three of them.
Although the three of them lowered their heads slightly, they could feel that Lu An was constantly looking at them, which made them feel a little frightened in their hearts, since ancient times, they have been accompanied by kings like tigers, although Lu An is not the emperor, but in this Jiangdong area, there is no difference between him and the emperor.
"Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, are you two familiar with the families in Jiangdong?" Seeing a cold sweat on the faces of the three of them, Lu An shook his head slightly and asked.
"Lord Qiqi, before the lord succeeded to Yangzhou Mu, we had some dealings with those families!" The two looked at each other, but their hearts sank, the lord was notoriously ruthless in his suppression of the family, but he was dissatisfied with them when he knew about it, and he came to beat them.
"Well, I want to ask you, these families are afraid of me now, what should I do if I want to change this state?" Lu An asked.
"This, does the lord mean that he wants to let those families live?" When Lu An said this, the two Zhang were a little surprised, and Zhang Zhao asked unconfirmed.
"The New Deal is a reform I must carry out, but I also don't want to be synonymous with violent conquest, and I have no other hostility to the family, let alone their death!" Lu An Zhengse. Now most of the fields of these families have been collected by themselves and distributed to the people, and most of the families have been dispersed, and now they have a lot of wealth left, and now they have a lot of family children left, since the families have no threat to their rule, then what he has to consider now is how to take the talents of those families in Jiangdong for his own use, and let them be content with the status quo, and admit their new policies from the bottom of their hearts.
"That being the case, then the lord only needs to do two things to make these wealthy families feel at ease!" Zhang Zhao thought about it and said.
"What two things?" Lu An asked.
"First, you can recruit the most prestigious scholars from these families to be officials, and entrust them with important tasks, so that these families should be able to know a little about the goodwill of the lord." Zhang Zhao said slowly.
"Well, what about the other one?" Lu An nodded slightly, it is not difficult to do this, although the most important thing in the hearts of the celebrities from these families is their family, as long as they have a loyal deputy by their side, they can completely supervise them, so it is not impossible to entrust the celebrities of these families with important responsibilities.
"Another thing is that the lord can marry with the four major families in Jiangdong or other famous families, in this way, these wealthy families will definitely be able to understand the mind of the lord, as long as the lord can gain a firm foothold in this Jiangdong, I believe that these families will no longer have too much resistance to the lord." Zhang Zhao said again.
"Another marriage?" Lu An's face was stunned, but his heart fell into contemplation, he understood what Zhang Zhao meant, he stood on the opposite side of these families, and seized most of their family business, but after all, he did not raise a butcher's knife against them, he did not do anything wrong, and he is now the real lord of Jiangdong, these families can only surrender to themselves, if they show kindness to these families at this time, I believe that these families cannot ask for it, and they will not make a stumbling block for themselves in the dark, but if they marry, Lu An couldn't help but think of the pair of sisters, if he could, cough cough.
"What does the lord think is wrong?" Seeing that Lu An didn't respond, Zhang Zhao asked.
"Let's discuss this matter again, I came to you today to talk about another thing!" Lu An shook his head and diverted the topic.
"My lord, please speak!"
"Recently, there have been a lot of political affairs in Jiangdong and Jingnan, and I am gradually a little powerless, so I called a few of you here today to ask you to help me share it!" Lu An said softly.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Sun Shao were shocked and asked in disbelief.
"That's right, in the future, in addition to military affairs, you can help me deal with other government affairs, sort out the most important ones and hand them over to me for approval, and you can call the shots on other trivial matters." Lu An said lightly.
"Thank you, my lord! We will be conscientious and die for the Lord! The three of them showed ecstasy on their faces, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed. Help the monarch deal with government affairs, what does this appointment mean, in the early and middle Han Dynasty, in addition to the Son of Heaven, there was only one position with this authority, that is, the post of prime minister, and later because the prime minister's power was too great, it was divided into three positions, and although Lu An is not the Son of Heaven now, he is the most powerful prince in the world, that is to say, in the future in the territory controlled by Lu An, the status of the three of them is actually about the same as the three dukes.
"Okay, you can help sort out some of the twists and turns here, and in addition, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, you will compile some talented and learned celebrities from the Jiangdong family into a roster and hand it to me!" Lu An smiled slightly, and pushed the full music on the table to them, and he could finally relax a little
