When it comes to Lu Junyi, it can be described as strange in the later "Water Margin", which does not refer to his character, but to his many inconsistent unreasonableness.

His martial arts are strong, known as "the stick is unparalleled in the world", but at the same time, he is a first-class wealthy merchant in the Daimyo Mansion, and his business contacts are between Yanyun in Hebei. If it is said that his personality is careless, it is impossible to manage such a situation, but it can be said that he is shrewd, and he knows nothing about the affair between Li Gu and the Jia family around him. As for the subsequent holding high banner to challenge the heroes of Liangshan, in the eyes of others, it was even more unwise. In the end, he was counted by Na Wu and lost a huge fortune in his family, which can be described as extremely stupid.

However, after going to Liangshan, Lu Junyi was shrewd step by step, otherwise, with Song Jiang's temperament, since he could overhead Chao Gai, he could naturally play Lu Junyi between applause. But later, after the people of Liangshan returned to the imperial court, when they conquered the Quartet, Lu Junyi always led an army by himself and fought against Song Jiang's court. Although there is an intention to divide the imperial court, Lu Junyi's ability to control the situation is also unquestionable.

Coming to this era, with Chaijiazhuang's meeting, Ximenqing's perception of Lu Junyi is still a blur, as if he is looking at flowers in a fog, and he always feels that he can't grasp the personality characteristics of this person. Today, it is through Duan Jingzhu that I have seen the ruthlessness and decisiveness of this Hebei hero.

Such a character, with his clever means and stoic character, is not inferior to Song Jiang's first-class. This daimyo's mansion is undoubtedly the nest of its operation, and its control is not equal to idleness, even if he is in a foreign country, he can just command from afar, and he can do things so neatly and neatly, and he can imagine how powerful this person is.

In detail, this person is the same as Ximenqing, they are all tigers sitting on the ground, and they eat both black and white in their respective "turf", but compared to Ximenqing's habit of taking money to open the way, this "Jade Qilin" seems to be more powerful.

In the matter of Yandi White Salt, Ximen Qing and Lu Junyi are also grasshoppers on the same rope, they have no conflict of interest with each other, but have an incense friendship. Since Lu Junyi doesn't want to be investigated in this matter, Ximenqing will not bother himself, and he has the right to ignore this matter.

Ximenqing wants to calm things down, but unfortunately things often change unexpectedly.

It was also in the evening, under the guidance of Yan Qing, that Lu Yuanwai, who was originally in the field, took the initiative to visit, and he was full of sincerity, and the thousand-mile horse "Jade Lion in the Night" was in the stable in the backyard of the hotel.

People will die, horses will be sent.

I have to say that Lu Junyi's hard and soft hands are very measured, not only lowering his posture, but also guarding his own bottom line.

"Xiao Yi doesn't know about this, don't blame the big officials!"

As soon as they met, Lu Junyi went to Yan Qing's suspicion, obviously afraid that Ximen Qing would think that the previous incident was that the master and servant sang and fooled him.

"Lu Yuanwai said this is too foreign, since Chaijiazhuang met, I have great admiration for Lu Yuanwai's martial arts, for Brother Xiaoyi, there is only appreciation, how can you blame?" Ximen Qing dealt with it with haha, glanced at Yan Qing next to him, and said half-truthfully, "Lu Yuanwai has a high-grade character like Brother Xiaoyi who thinks that he is a helper, to be honest, he is really envious of him!" ”

Hearing Ximen Qing's words, Yan Qing on the side muttered in his heart, I really don't know if the newly promoted official in front of him is really thirsty for talent, or if there are other reasons. It seems that as soon as I see someone who can use it, I want to pull it to my own side. It was Xu Guanzhong and Ye Chun before, but now it is his turn again.

Yan Qing is the same as Xu Guanzhong, naturally unwilling to follow such a "talented but not virtuous" person, not to mention that there are still great favors outside the staff who have not been repaid, so at this time he immediately stepped forward and said: "Xiao Yi is still a little clever in dealing with people, and the rest really have no strengths, and he has been praised by the big officials, but he has no place to be ashamed!" ”

"I know that Brother Xiao Yi is a loyal person, but it's just a joke, don't be surprised!"

Ximen Qing also knew that it was basically impossible to dig Yan Qing from Lu Junyi, but judging from today's events, this Lu Yuanwai didn't seem to have a lot of faith in Yan Qing, but instead trusted Haigong and other figures. Perhaps, such selfish things are contrary to Yan Qing's nature, which makes this Lu Yuanwai unwilling to use him in such things.

With Yan Qing by his side, Ximen Qing, who originally planned to leave the city tomorrow, was only warmly invited by the master and servant, and finally went to Lu Junyi's mansion for a banquet.

At the banquet, Yan Qing entertained Ximenqing and his subordinates, and naturally the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, but as for the real protagonists of the two sides, they avoided the banquet in the middle of the banquet.

In a study room far away from the banquet in the central hall, Ximen Qing sat opposite Lu Junyi, but the topic turned to the private salt business of the two separate shops.

After a seemingly casual conversation, Lu Junyi pointed out the main topic of today's banquet for Ximenqing, which is to expand some of his business to the ground in Shandong, and now that Ximenqing has served as the deputy envoy of Shandong Logistics Institute, it has become the most important part of it.

These businesses are naturally not ordinary transactions, and the private salt in Shandong is in the hands of Ximenqing, so Lu Junyi will naturally not interfere. However, the rest of the horses, fine iron and grain, if the two places can be smoothly communicated between Shandong and Hebei, the profits during this period should not be underestimated.

250,000 yuan of newly issued banknotes, and 100,000 yuan of filial piety every year in the future, this is the price code offered by Lu Junyi, which is really amazing.

However, Ximenqing himself is also a huge asset, and he also has financial management methods, maybe today's officials like this kind of silver money, but he may not.

After careful consideration, Ximen Qing said: "I heard that Lu Yuanwai has close contacts with Liaodi, and I intend to exchange the annual silver money for war horses, I wonder if Lu Yuanwai can accept it?" ”

According to the price of the Daimyo Mansion Horse Market, the price of a properly used war horse is around 300 guan, and 100,000 guan is a full 300 war horses, which is definitely not a small amount. With the strength of the western army, it took countless efforts to attack the Qingtang Prefectures, but only five thousand Baiqi troops were built, and the number of war horses was only seven or eight thousand.

"Two hundred war horses, the shortage is made up by the ratio of ordinary horses to two!"

Lu Junyi made a silent calculation in his heart, and finally gave a compromise plan, with a little wry smile on his face, "This war horse is also extremely strictly controlled in Liaodi, two hundred per year, which is already at the limit of its ability, and no matter how much it is, it can't!" ”

"Okay, two hundred is two hundred!"

Ximenqing also knows the scarcity of war horses, and the so-called cavalry in the current Great Song Dynasty military system, most of the mounts are the standard of field horses, and they cannot withstand high-intensity long-distance attacks. Even so, the number is extremely rare. On the contrary, some large families and scholars often raise a few good horses to travel.
