General Lu Wu saw Li Guo and Nie Xin's face surprised, and said with a smile, "Maybe Xuandafu is in a hurry, I haven't seen me reply, and I asked me about your situation, and I replied that I don't know, I haven't seen your people." No, Xuandafu is in a hurry, and I'm looking for you in the whole of Zhangjiakou. ”

"Oh, it's our fault that we don't dare to work adults, and it's late to visit adults." Li Guo and Nie Xin confessed again and again.

"Where? It's all your own people, so it's good that nothing happens to you. Lu Wu put his mind at ease and asked. I heard that you came from the three sides? ”

Nie Xin hurriedly said, "General Lu, this... can't be said. ”

"Understand, understand, we individuals are just asking for money. Come on, come on! Sit down and drink tea. Lu Wu had enthusiasm on his face.

Only then did Li Guo and Nie Xin understand that it was so late.

It seems that no matter what you do, there will be personnel involved, and once personnel are involved, what relationship, background, and origin will be complicated. Fortunately, Li Guo and Nie Xin have big faces and enough silver, so they will be treated with such courtesy.

Lu Wu has a bold personality, likes to laugh and shout, and has a very good temper with Li Guo.

Seeing Li Guo take out the gift list, which was one thousand taels of silver, Lu Wu shirked and said, "There is no need to be like this, the Xuanfu attaches so much importance to you, how can I ask for your silver?" Besides, we hit it off at first sight, so why be so polite? ”

"Take it, take it, General Lu, since we are not outsiders, you don't have to be polite, how can you be polite among your friends? Besides, there must be a lot of places to disturb in the future, if you don't take this money, how dare you beg you in the future? Li Guo said, "Moreover, in the future, the business will be on the right track, and the money will not fall." Brother Lu, I don't have anything else wrong, it's just that everyone is rich! ”

"Well, then I'll take this silver, who called us friends, if I don't accept it, it won't look good. However, in the future, we can be commensurate with brothers, and you take my brother and me as important, and then call the generals and generals, it will seem to be out of sight. Lu Wu accepted the gift list.

"Okay, listen to you." Li Guo responded.

"I heard, you want to do business here?" Lu Wu asked.

"Yes, that's what it means." Li Guo replied.

"That shop has been rented, has the guy been hired, has you hired the shopkeeper?" Lu Wu asked. has lived in a place of business for a long time, and Lu Wu, a martial artist, also knows a little about business.

"There are some guys, but the shopkeeper hasn't been invited yet, we are new to the city, don't be in a hurry, how can we find a person who is familiar with the trade routes here, and when we find a suitable shopkeeper, it's not too late to rent a shop." Li Guo replied very decently, Nie Xin not only trained his buddy, but also trained Li Guo.

"Well, it's easy to say, since we are brothers, I'll help you find the shopkeeper, after all, I'm familiar here, who will help you if I don't help you?" Lu Wu's face was righteous, "I have the final say here, just like a rich businessman like Liang Yongdong is my friend." Of course, you will also find out for yourselves. "Lu Wu is enthusiastic.

Hearing Liang Yongdong's name, Li Guo and Nie Xin unconsciously exchanged glances.

"Then Liang Yongdong is the one who is the head of the eight major families in Shanxi?" Li Guo asked.

"Yes, that's him, what? Are you interested in him? Someday, when I have time, I will lead you to know him! Lu Wu said.

"Liang Yongdong is a business tycoon, if we can get to know him, it will definitely be very beneficial to our business." Nie Xin said.

Lu Wu slapped his thigh, "Yes, multiple friends and multiple roads." ”

"Okay, I'll do it one day!"

So a few people talked happily and dispersed.

It is also the face of the three-sided yamen and the Xuanfu yamen, and Lu Wu usually likes Zhang Luo, and a few days later, Lu Wu arrived at Liang Yongdong's house.

Lu Wu values Liang Yongdong very much, but Liang Yongdong will not take a general in his eyes. But Lu Wu is a general in Zhangjiakou, which is very different, as the saying goes, the current official is not as good as the current management.

Liang Yongdong operates a wide range of goods, and many of the goods shipped out of the customs to Shengjing are contraband, such as iron can be used to fight arrows, armor can be used for self-defense, grain and grass can be used for the enemy, and even intelligence, etc., many contraband.

That's where Lu Wu comes in.

Lu Wu's border army was responsible for defending Zhangjiakou, protecting the safety of the horse market, investigating the prohibition of incoming and outgoing goods, and so on. Therefore, whether the border army inspects Liang Yongdong's goods, whether they look at them twice, or look carefully, is very particular.

There was a civil servant in the horse market, but since the civil official who managed the horse market left early last year, that position has become vacant. It's not that the position of the Ma City official is not good, but it is very good and full of oil and water, so various factions, such as the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, have been unable to fight, but this position has been vacant for more than a year.

Lu Wu has worked in Zhangjiakou Fort for many years and has always been a general, and Lu Wu does not want to be promoted, because this position is full of oil. Lu Wu himself will come to the trouble and do his best to stammer with his boss, and Liang Yongdong also opened up the joints for Lu Wu, so that Lu Wu has been retained in this position. Lu Wu also understood what Liang Yongdong meant, and released all the goods of the Liang family and the other eight families. Lu Wu's mind is, just care about the fuck, it's just a mess.

Of course, Liang Yongdong and the eight families will not give Lu Wu less money, and no one is confused.

Moreover, Lu Wu's retention was also because of military merits.

The location of Zhangjiakou is very important, but the defense is not worth mentioning. Although the economy was prosperous here, the castle was not well defended. However, whether the Later Jin soldiers entered the Great Wall or a small group of Mongol tribes invaded, there was no war in the Zhangjiakou area. Therefore, Lu Wu, who had no military exploits at all, miraculously made military exploits.

Someone once retorted, how can a person who has never fought a war make meritorious contributions? Grossly inappropriate.

Others explained that it was not Lu Wu's meritorious work because of the war, but Lu Wu's hard life. Lu Wu's eight-character combination, so he took the Tartar outside the gate, so that Zhangjiakou has always been peaceful.

Of course, this is just a joke.

In fact, the reason why Zhangjiakou is not attacked is very simple, it is because of Zhangjiakou's economy.

Zhangjiakou is the dry wharf and economic lifeline leading to the desert grassland, and the daily necessities outside the customs come from Zhangjiakou. The tribes outside the customs or Houjin, food, clothing, housing and transportation all depend on Zhangjiakou, if they go crazy one day, they really capture Zhangjiakou that day, so that this dry wharf becomes dry land, not to mention anything else, where to buy cloth? Nomadic tribal brothers are not allowed to go bare-assed?

And Liang Yongdong, a big businessman, has already sold himself to Houjin, and this is the economic lifeblood of Houjin. Therefore, for Zhangjiakou, let alone attack, it is too late to protect, and it is absolutely impossible to start a war here.

Therefore, Lu Wu is a stable official, and his relationship with Liang Yongdong is also very good.

Therefore, when Lu Wu went to Liang Yongdong's house, he never regarded himself as an outsider. And when he arrived at the Liang Mansion, Liang Yongdong would invite him to eat and drink, and Lu Wu would naturally not refuse, who would not eat the delicious food! Liang Yongdong's trade routes are divided, and there are specialties everywhere, and if you don't eat it, you will lose it.

Therefore, Lu Wu actually came to Liang's house for dinner on this day. When he arrived at the door of Liang Yongdong's mansion, Lu Wu met Liang Yongdong's daughter Liang Shiyin.

Lu Wu put his hands behind his back and watched Liang Shiyin instructing the maids to load some miscellaneous things onto the carriage.

Lu Wu looked at it carefully, so strange, and quipped, "Yo, where are we Miss Shiyin?" also took a big black cauldron, did you find Ruyi Langjun, and want to send these things and the big black cauldron to your mother-in-law's house? ”

Liang Shiyin's face flushed, glared at Lu Wu, raised her small fist and waved, "Uncle Lu, you are the arranger!" Isn't it? I'm going to see Uncle Qian! ”

"Uncle Qian?" There are not many surnames in Zhangjiakou, and the famous one is not "which Uncle Qian?" Lu Wu asked suspiciously.

"That's a lot of money! Uncle Lu, you forgot about him so quickly? You used to drink a lot. It's really unkind! Cold! The little girl took the opportunity to count Lu Wu, Lu Wu often came to the Liang family and was very familiar.

Speaking of this, some people will say that the Ming Dynasty was so feudal, and the female dependents said that they would see it?

This is not the case, Zhangjiakou is located at the junction of the Han nationality and the tribal people, and the open character of the tribal people has also affected the Han nation, so the etiquette is not very concerned.

Besides, some big cities, such as Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and so on, have also opened up people's customs.

On the contrary, in the capital and some remote places, women's three obedience and four virtues are much more important.

When Lu Wu heard that Qian Duoduo had returned, he was stunned, and he asked, "Didn't you say that he had been killed by the bandits?" Where does he live? Why didn't you help your dad do things? ”

"He's not dead! Now that he is alive, he will not help my father anymore, and I am trying to persuade him to come back! The little girl spoke like a silver bell, and then went away.

"A lot of money? Money shopkeeper? "Lu Wu thought of Li Guo and them, Li Guo is in need of the shopkeeper, now that Qian Duoduo is back, if Qian Duoduo quit his job at Liang Yongdong, if Liang Yongdong is willing to let go and let Qian Duoduo help Li Guo, these people from three sides, wouldn't it be a fulfillment of the entrustment of the Xuanfu Yamen! It's a good thing, a great thing!

Lu Wu walked into the Liang Mansion with joy and went to see Liang Yongdong.
