Lu Bing knew that the ancients believed in oaths, and sometimes high-fives and swore more effectively than writing down any black and white words, and swearing poison was even more respectful, thinking that it was very spiritual, unlike before he crossed over, making a poisonous oath was like a fart, and breaking the oath after the front foot made the back foot. However, Lu Bing also knew that Xia Yan didn't believe in any gods, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a large amount of analytical words. As a political family, whether it is ancient or modern, the oath agreement will not be observed, otherwise the political policy game will not be played, and the contract is used to tear up.

Therefore, Lu Bing values this alliance, and feels that it is dispensable, but it is just a piece of soup, and the most important thing is not how to say it, but how to do it. The two looked at each other, and there was something in their eyes, but the other was unpredictable.

Lu Bing smiled and watched Xia Yan flash away, the golden dragon was already so much that he couldn't see it, and some people were already rubbing their sour necks that were already looking around, Xia Yan and Lu Bing didn't want anyone to see them standing together. At this time, Zhu Houxi also lowered his head, Ji Lianhong ran back, and said in a low voice: "That nasty guy is gone?" ”

"Gone." Lu Bing said with a smile. Zhu Houyu rubbed his sore neck at this time, and the eunuchs hurriedly came up to loosen Zhu Houxi's bones, but Zhu Houyu waved his hand domineeringly, stood up and walked forward two steps quickly to scold Fang Xuan, and said in a loud voice: "Long live I, God gives, the real dragon appears, and all generations are bright." Lu Aiqing, Ji Lianhong, Duan Qingfeng, and the three of them quickly came forward to receive the reward. ”

"The minister is here." The three of them walked out, bowed their heads, Ji Lianhong and Duan Qingfeng couldn't say anything in front of so many people, and they couldn't say anything outside the six ways of the monk family.

Although Lu Bing listened to Xia Yan's cynical and thought-provoking words just now, he would not be so stupid as to give Zhu Houxi the stage in front of so many people. So according to the original prepared script, he said, "Holy Lord." Three beings give birth to all things, so the heavenly omen just now has a total of three acts, which is caused by our efforts to urge the heaven and earth primordial spirits. It is providential. According to the minister's opinion, these three styles, together with what the saint has to do now, can be called phoenix nirvana in the fire, yin and yang tai ji general Qiankun, Hongfu Qitian golden dragon tour, and qi earthquake mountains and rivers to reward heroes. ”

"Okay, that's a good point. The reward should be rewarded, come up the stairs, and sit with me. Give the embroidery pier, let's watch the gift ceremony together and get drunk again. Zhu Houxi said excitedly, he saw that the ministers looked at him more sacredly, and Lu Bing did a good job. This gift is even more wonderful.

Lu Bing and Ji Lianhong Duan Qingfeng went up from the side ladder. The three of them sat down separately and thanked them. I saw that the three of them were sitting on the embroidery pier without any restraint, their buttocks were completely solid, and the big horse golden knife was a martial artist, and others loved it. Zhu Houyu didn't talk to them, because they sat far away, and beside them were Zhu Houxi's harem concubines, etc., according to etiquette, even if Lu Bing and the others were favored, they could only sit at the bottom, so they were separated by more than a few feet. But Zhu Houxi looked back at the three of them from time to time, smiling very kindly.

The three of them also didn't smile. Maintaining a unified and dull smile, Ji Lianhong looked at Xia Yan at the bottom of the stairs, kept a smile and whispered: "This thing is really annoying, but it has some talent, can you take it for yourself?" ”

"It's difficult, even if he wants to, I don't want him, it's not safe to put it around." Lu Bing added: "The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. ”

"Since it's not my race, let's ruin him." Duan Qingfeng said coldly: "I always feel that he will become a threat to us, he is also young, no older than when Yang Ting and Yang Yiqing were enemies of us, so Xia Yan's ambition and energy are more abundant, and the threat to us is even greater." As soon as possible, we will eliminate future troubles, so as not to cause endless future troubles. Duan Qingfeng's words were like the yin wind blowing by the coming of death, which made people shudder.

Ji Lianhong pursed his lips and said: "Duan Qingfeng, you are really ruthless, if we are not brothers, I won't play with you, how far can I hide." However, Lu Bing, this time I agree with Duan Qingfeng's words. I hate this guy anyway, or I'll do it. ”

"The destruction of the body is inevitably inferior, and we must seek the destruction of both the spirit and the body, just like Yang Yiqing. Violence is the lowest means in the political struggle, it can only be used as an auxiliary, if you use violence against others, others can also use it against us, we all have families and businesses, we can protect ourselves, but we can't guarantee to watch over our wives and children all the time. Politics is not like this, there is no need to drive people to a corner. Besides, Xia Yan is not very excessive, even as a political enemy, he didn't force us to die, why should we kill him, maybe use each other in the future, compromise with each other, wait and see. Lu Bing said: "Isn't it a bit arrogant for us to say this from the emperor." ”

"It's okay, the wind is not good, even if it is smooth, he can't hear it." Duan Qingfeng said, and after speaking, the three of them laughed, as if they were very happy.

The next gift ceremony is really nothing to look forward to, the previous gifts of Xia Dade and Lu Bing and the other four people were too special and exciting, so it brought pressure to the people behind. Whether they offered new things or rare treasures, they were very weak and weak, and they could only be ashamed of themselves in comparison, and those who wanted to make some fancy compliments felt that their tricks were as childish as children, and they were eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. But fortunately, there are not too many people in the back, Lu Bing and them are actually the finale, so the gift ceremony ended in such a hurry, and the next thing was the imperial banquet. Zhu Houxi feasted in front of the Fengtian Palace, and the banquet crossed from the Fengtian Hall to the Wenzhao Pavilion and the Wucheng Pavilion to the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Palace.

Lu Bing saw that Zhu Houxi was happy, stood up and asked for the people's life, and Xia Yan immediately complied. Zhu Houxi was on the rise, so he naturally agreed to say anything, and immediately gave the people tax exemption for one year. Long live the mountain, praise the emperor Shengming, and the ministers bowed, claiming that Zhu Houxi was good at life and compassion for the people. Zhu Houxi was proud not to mention it, the Lu family didn't eat comfortably at this meal, there were too many rules for eating with the emperor, and it was a blessing not to make a mistake, and it was a fool's dream to eat enough.

The person who eats at His Royal Highness may be better, just keep Sven, but eating with the emperor can be regarded as a torment, eat and look at the two, look at the three, in short, eat not as much as watching, each has a meaning and a head. The emperor just tasted it, and he didn't dare to eat too much, let alone seasonal vegetables. Lu Bing knows the reason or the unspoken rules of the imperial dining room, the reason why there are no seasonal vegetables, they are all big fish, big meat and spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is because he is afraid that the emperor will be addicted to it.

In ancient times, there were no greenhouses, some vegetables were not available in winter, and some southern vegetables could not be transported to the north and were broken, even Lu Bing's transport truck was not so fast, so some dishes were not not able to do, but did not dare to do. Once the emperor eats well, when he doesn't have this kind of vegetable, he wants to eat this dish, won't it become a trouble for himself, so he simply doesn't do it, and doesn't let the emperor know that there is such a thing, which is a good way to win a hundred battles once and for all. This is like the secret communication of the Tai Hospital, and it is a truth to say the condition in unison, which is the secret rule of the imperial dining room, as long as the people in the imperial dining room know it.

Lu Bing's heart moved when he saw this, although the business of the Ming Dynasty was developed, it was already dominated by agriculture, so if we attach importance to agriculture, develop high-quality grain, as well as large-scale mechanized planting and harvesting by greenhouse planting and scientific irrigation methods, will it have unexpected effects? Under the development of Lu Bing, Shandong has become a very wealthy place, except for Lunan which is slightly poor, and the development of other places is very balanced. However, with the development of Lu Bing, Lu Bing found that Shandong's limitations are still inseparable from the shadow of agriculture, regardless of transportation or geographical location, it is difficult to develop into a commercial gathering place, and there are fewer distinctive industries.

There are several problems, first of all, the soil here is fertile, although it is not as good as the black soil outside the northeast, but it is also suitable for planting, and the terrain of Shandong is relatively flat, and there is no zài terrain problem. Because the coastal area of the peninsula is relatively rainy, the marine climate leads to a lot of rainfall, so there is not much need to consider the problem of irrigation, and the Yellow River flows through Shandong, as long as the canal is opened, the problem of irrigation difficulties in a few areas can be solved.

Another point lies in the problem of people, Shandong people have their own set, loyalty, honesty, simplicity and hard work, they are obviously not suitable for business, so every change follows the model prescribed by Lu Bing, can only do well, but there is no development and innovation. At this point, they are not as good as the outstanding southerners, and in their bones, Shandong people do not like merchants, but landlords and farmers are more popular. In addition, as the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, people here do not want their children to do business, and reading is the best. In the eyes of most Shandong people, there is no big difference between a restaurant owner and a peddler's pawn, they are both businessmen.

There is also the geographical location, except for the Jiaodong Peninsula, there are few places to anchor, and the north is bitterly cold, and there are many icebergs on the sea, and the wind and waves are also large, so no one travels through the Arctic Ocean known to Lu Bing, and chooses the southern ports to trade. Moreover, there are many natural harbors on the southern coast where large ships can be berthed, which is less than that of Shandong. In addition, the Yellow River is turbulent and not conducive to sailing, but the Yangtze River is relatively slow and can be traded, in short, the south is relatively more suitable for trade than the north. Goods and coins are in circulation, and as soon as they come out and come in and go back and forth, they create business opportunities, generate price differences, and obtain profits.

Therefore, it is not easy for Shandong's business to develop to this point today, even though the Lu family is talented, but the brain is not enough, and how many nails can be smashed with iron?

With the common development of fishery, agriculture and commerce, Shandong will surely step onto a new level. The economic prosperity of Suzhou and Hangzhou and other places attaches importance to the textile industry and silkworm breeding, which makes them also have a relatively prosperous economy. Everyone has to eat, since they are in trade and silk business, then Lu Bing decided to expand the agriculture and grain industry, without further ado, he happened to have nearly a month of vacation, and he will start it when he returns.

At this meal, Lu Bing was thinking about this matter, he didn't say anything, and Zhu Houxi didn't ask much. After the meal, he chatted with Ji Lianhong and Duan Qingfeng about Taoism, Lu Bingzheng was so happy, and his mind was full of how to develop agriculture. In addition, the second brother said before entering the palace that he wanted to talk to himself, Lu Bing knew what Xia Dade was going to say, and he was also thinking about this issue in his heart, and the time was fleeting (to be continued......
