Lu Rui sat in a carriage and took Dian Wei and Xin Bi to follow Cao Cao to Danyang to recruit troops. Xu Shu and Hua Tuo returned to Fan County, Xu Shu was going to assist Guoyuan in governing Fan County, and Hua Tuo was going back to engage in his drug research. Originally, Cao Cao didn't let Lu Rui follow, but Lu Rui fell to the ground and rolled to see the wealth of Xuzhou, Cao Cao had no choice but to take Lu Rui and his party to go, but Lu Rui couldn't go to Danyang, he could only wait for Cao Cao in Xuzhou's Xiapi, Lu Rui nodded, anyway, his purpose was not Danyang, but Xuzhou!

After Cao Cao and Xiahoudun arrived at the boundary of Xuzhou, they separated from Lu Rui. Lu Rui took Dian Wei and Xin Bi into Xuzhou City, as soon as he entered Xuzhou City, Lu Rui was surprised, Xuzhou was really rich, and he was the first in the Han Dynasty! The sweaty prosperity scene of Linzi, the capital of Qi State, is a portrayal of Xiapi City in Xuzhou today.

Lu Rui walked around the market in Xiapi, bought a lot of Xuzhou specialties, and then came to the most famous restaurant in Xuzhou, Wangyulou for dinner.

When Xiao Er saw the crowd of people in gorgeous costumes, he immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "How many guest officers? There's a private room upstairs? Please? ”

Xin Bi looked at Xiao Er and said, "There are so many of us, you can do it, you want the best wine and food, and also, you want a spacious place, our son likes big places, it would be better if he could see the scenery." ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he immediately responded: "Okay, understand, please go to the top floor." ”

Then Xiao Er shook off the sweat towel and shouted: "Distinguished guests on the top floor, treat Lele well!" ”

Lu Rui and his party of more than 20 people went up to the hall on the top floor, basically wrapped the top floor, and then Xiaoer introduced the special dishes of Wangyulou to Lu Rui, Wangyulou, as the name suggests, fish is the main dish, especially the whole fish banquet, which is the specialty here, Lu Rui likes to eat fish the most, and immediately ordered a whole fish banquet, and asked for Xuzhou's special dishes.

"Whew!" Lu Rui touched his stomach, so full, although the current condiments of Dahan are not as many as in later generations, but some jams made with natural fruits and vegetables are still quite good, filling the lack of condiments, and the dishes have a sense of freshness, which makes Lu Rui still very satisfied.

Just when Lu Rui was about to taste tea and wanted to see the beautiful scenery here, the shopkeeper suddenly came up and smiled at Lu Rui and said, "Guest officer, are you satisfied with the wine and food in our store?" ”

Lu Rui nodded and said: "It's delicious, it's good, my son has been to many places to taste food, and the dishes here are really good. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The guest officer is polite, I don't know what else the guest officer needs?" If you don't need it, the top floor of the guest shop's shop is about to close, and the guest officer is invited to go to the downstairs box for tea, and this restaurant will give you a discount? ”

Lu Rui looked at it and glanced at the shopkeeper, what do you mean? In broad daylight, it's going to close?

Xin Bi scolded on the side: "Bastard, do you know who our son is? Closed during the day? Don't sweep our son's Yaxing, otherwise you want to look good! ”

As soon as Xin Bi's words fell, Dian Wei took out his double halberd and put it on the table, and the rest of the guards drew their swords and brushed the ground a few times, and the shopkeeper immediately knelt down and said in a sneer: "Guest officer, I know that you are a distinguished guest, but the people who came this time are really not easy to mess with, and this is the case in Xuzhou." With that, he gave a thumbs up.

When Lu Rui heard this, he smiled in his heart, Xuzhou Haoqiang? I want to see, Lu Rui took a sip of tea, blinked his eyes and said, "I'm not leaving!" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was anxious and then said to Xin Bibai: "This gentleman, please persuade your son, it is the Mi Zhu of the Mi family in Xuzhou who came here to invite Chen Deng, the son of the Chen family, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it will?" ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he waved his small wooden sword and said, "I won't leave, I still want to play here, whoever drives me, I will ask someone to cut him!" ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately slapped it and smashed the small table with tea next to him. When the shopkeeper saw it, he was so anxious that he sweated and said: "Guest officer, you see, even if this meal in the small shop is our Wangyulou, guest officer, don't charge money, don't charge money!" ”

Lu Rui just smiled and continued to play with the wooden sword in his hand.

Suddenly, a sharp voice came, "Shopkeeper, why haven't the people upstairs left yet, my young master and the young master of the Chen family are about to arrive, why don't you hurry up?" ”

Following the sound, I saw a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man walking up with a group of servants, and the shopkeeper saw it, and hurriedly ran over, saying, "Hello housekeeper, this, this guest is not willing to go." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Rui and whispered, "Housekeeper, it seems that the other party is not easy to mess with!" ”

The housekeeper looked at Lu Rui, and then said loudly, "The one who doesn't have eyes?" Today, the young master of our family met the young master of the Chen family, and he wants to come here to reminisce about the old days and discuss the business plan of Xuzhou, who are you? Dare to go against our Mi family? ”

When Lu Rui heard it, hehe, Mi family? Sure enough, it is a wealthy family, a rich party, and his tone is really big, Lu Rui smiled and said: "Evil, I heard that the dog is not, and my son still has to enjoy the beautiful scenery." ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he wiped his mouth, okay, it's time to fight, this old man likes to do it the most, Dian Wei jumped, and jumped in front of the housekeeper, looking at the huge Dian Wei, the housekeeper trembled and said, "You, you, what are you going to do?" I'm telling you, I'm the housekeeper of the Mi family! After speaking, he straightened his waist and looked invincible.

Dian Wei shouted, raised the housekeeper's hands, threw it, and threw it downstairs, the servants of the Mi family looked at it, and were surprised, only to hear a bang, the servants all rushed downstairs, no one wanted to be the second dead man!

When the shopkeeper saw it, he was stunned, sat down on the side, and muttered: "It's over, the Mi family won't let me go!" ”

On the other hand, the Mi Zhu brothers and Chen Deng were escorted by the guards and came to Wangyu Tower, only to see the crowd in front of the building, Mi Fang quickly led people to disperse the crowd, and as soon as they dispersed, the three of them were stunned, isn't this the housekeeper of Mi Zhu's family? How did you die?

At this time, the servants of the Mi family ran out like dogs, and when Mi Fang saw it, he hurriedly grabbed a servant and asked, "What's the matter, how can the housekeeper die?" Who did it? ”

The servant said hesitantly: "Second master, there is a group of people above, led by a five-year-old child, with people, who seem to be in the army, and a strong man, very powerful, and the housekeeper was thrown downstairs by him." ”

When Mi Fang heard this, she was furious and said, "Who is this place, and someone dares to make trouble with my Mi family?" Grandma's, I'll go up and kill him! "Then he will carry his sword.

Mi Zhu listened to the servant's words, stopped Mi Fang and said, "Second brother, stop!" ”

Mi Fang stopped, turned around and said, "Big brother? ”

Chen Deng looked at Mi Zhu and said, "Brother Zizhong, it seems that this meal is not delicious!" ”

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said, "Yuanlong, swept your Yaxing, I'm sorry, let's go up and have a look?" ”

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Okay, the junior brother also wants to see when there will be a character in Xuzhou, please Brother Zizhong!" ”

Subsequently, the three of Mi Zhu, led by the servants, came to the top floor of the restaurant. I saw a child wielding a wooden sword indiscriminately, and beside him there was a scribe and a fierce guard, who should have killed the butler.

Mi Zhu stepped forward, arched his hand and said: "This son, in Mi Zhu in Xuzhou, I don't know where the housekeeper under him provoked the son and died?" ”

Lu Rui looked at Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu, a big businessman of the Three Kingdoms, who looked white and clean, with a little white face, Lu Rui said: "If we don't finish eating, he will come to drive us away, and he will die!" ”

When Mi Fang heard it, it was on fire, where did the children come from, they were actually in Xuzhou, the Mi family's territory? Mi Fang was about to get angry, but Chen Deng grabbed Mi Fang, and then signaled not to move. Mi Fang looked at Chen Deng and stopped.

Mi Fang heard that this housekeeper must be relying on his own power to do nonsense outside, he had already reminded him that there is no place on the top floor of Wangyu Building, you can change places, this time I met a person who can clean him up, look at this child's posture, it is definitely not simple!

Mi Fang arched her hand and said: "This is my housekeeper's fault, but this son, who killed people in the Xuzhou territory, is subject to the punishment of the law, the little child is not sensible, but the servants around him will have to take responsibility!" The tone changed from understatement to stern, and after speaking, he looked at Simbi, who was supposed to be a housekeeper.

Xin Bi arched his hand and said, "This gentleman is right, but I want to ask if Mr.'s law is the law of Xuzhou or the law of the Han Dynasty?" ”

When Chen Deng heard it, he was a master, it was definitely not easy to say this! Mi Zhu was also stunned, and then arched his hand in the direction of Luoyang and said, "Naturally, it is the law of the Han Dynasty." "Although Dong Zhuo is in turmoil, the court is still the court, and the Han is still the Han.

After hearing this, Xin Bi arched his hand and said: "In this case, my son-in-law has not violated the law, just now this person made disrespectful remarks, and committed the following crimes, intending to hurt my son-in-law, my son-in-law is the prince of Qi, does he not even have the right to dispose of a person?" "After that, the token will be lit up!

Mi Zhu looked at Lu Rui, the Marquis of Qi, he is Lu Rui, the Marquis of Qi? Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Xuzhou Mi Zhu has seen Hou Ye, the housekeeper is rude, and I ask Hou Ye to forgive me." ”

Chen Deng and Mi Fang also came over and met with Lu Rui, after Xin Bi returned the salute to Lu Rui, the three of them sat down, Mi Fang looked at it and shouted: "Shopkeeper, remove the wine and food, and put it on a new one!" ”

The shopkeeper in the corner saw this sudden change, and immediately responded: "Okay, second master, you wait, we will go to Cai immediately!" ”

Mi Zhu and Lu Rui used some more dishes, and after the dishes were removed, Mi Zhu arched his hand and said, "Little Hou Ye, I don't know why Xiao Hou Ye came to Xuzhou?" Zizhong is a good landlord, if there is anything that needs help, please Hou Yeming said, Zizhong will do his best. ”

Lu Rui tapped the teacup with chopsticks and said, "Father Zhong and Uncle Xiahou went to Danyang to recruit troops, so I will come to Xuzhou to play and hunt by the way." ”

Mi Zhu heard it, Cao Cao went to Danyang to recruit troops? This is a piece of news, and you must tell the lord. Mi Zhu smiled, and then said: "Cao Gong is loyal to the country, it is really hard work, since Hou Ye has come to Xuzhou, then please Hou Ye enjoy the beautiful scenery and food of Xuzhou, stay a few more days, and let Zi Zhong enter the friendship of landlords." ”

When Lu Rui heard it, what did Mi Zhu want to do? So good to yourself? Nothing to do? Even if he is the Hou Ye, for Mi Zhu, he is just a little noble, is there such flattery? Lu Rui played with the wooden sword in his hand and said, "I'll play here for a few days, and when I'm tired of it, I'll go to find the middle father, you don't have to worry about me." ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, Lu Rui seemed to ignore himself? Chen Deng saw it, then arched his hand and said, "I heard that Hou Ye likes to play Go?" Yuanlong also likes to game, I don't know if Hou Ye can appreciate his face and play a few games with him? ”

Mi Zhu listened, it turned out that Lu Rui likes to gamble? Mi Zhu arched his hand and said, "Since Hou Ye likes to game, how about a few games with Hou Ye in the next game?" ”

When Lu Rui heard this, Chen Deng actually knew that he liked to gamble? Could it be that there is a secret agent in sour jujube? Lu Rui looked at the two and said, "I don't play casually, the game requires bets to play." ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he said, "Okay, Master Hou, how about we bet on 10,000 taels of gold per game?" If Hou Ye wants to play a few games, he will play a few games. ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he was stunned, grandma's, the gold of the Eastern Han Dynasty is real gold, not the brass gold of the Tang Dynasty. 10,000 taels in a game? Although the gold of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not very valuable, it is also a great wealth, a big deal, an absolute big deal! No wonder Liu Bei failed many times in the future, and he relied on Mi Zhu to turn over again, it is really not simple, history is true, and the wealth of the Mi family is really unfathomable!

Lu Rui shook his head and said, "No, no, I came out to play, and I didn't bring so much money." ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he smiled and said, "Hou Ye is a guest, how can you let Hou Ye come out?" If Hou Ye wins, the gold will go to Hou Ye, if Hou Ye loses three games in a row, please also ask Hou Ye to agree to Zizhong and Yuanlong a request. ”

Coming, the point is coming, the focus is on the request, Lu Rui scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "What do you want, it won't be my life, right?" ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he laughed, and then said: "Hou Ye said that he was joking, if Zizhong or Yuanlong won the three games of Hou Ye, then please open the business market in Fan County, and allow the caravans of our two families to rest in Fan County. ”

When Lu Rui heard it, hehe, Xiaomi Mi? You want to do business with me, okay, in that case, I'll play with you! The Chen family and the Mi family are big merchants, especially the Mi family, there is a large caravan, but because of the war of the Han Dynasty, the land is not very peaceful, so it turned to the sea trade, but the sea is far away, it is not as good as saving time on land, and the caravan generally needs to find a city, where the establishment of a chamber of commerce, as a stop, supply, now Qingzhou and Yanzhou center are the yellow turban plunder, only Lu Rui's Fan County, between the two states, and is well governed by Guoyuan, and the terrain and defense are also in place, It has become a transit point for many hopes between the north and the south, but because there is no way, it can only be stopped. Now that the two of them have encountered such a good opportunity, how can they let it go?

Thinking of this, Lu Rui clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you don't need me to come out, come, come quickly, set up a note, and we will start playing." ”

Seeing Lu Rui's happy appearance, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng glanced at each other, and then Mi Zhu said, "Then it's up to me to play with Hou Ye." ”

Then the two began to play against each other, releasing the water, Mi Zhu, this kid released the water, lost three games in a row, and lost to Lu Rui. Mi Zhu arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, Zizhong is not as good as Master Hou, let's let Yuanlong come." ”

Chen Deng glanced at Mi Zhu, then arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, please advise!" ”

Lu Rui waved his hand and said, "Come, come, hurry up, Ben Hou still has to win!" ”

Chen Deng nodded, and played against Lu Rui, after three hours, it was already approaching evening, and the final result came out, Lu Rui won two games and lost three games!

After the servant finished counting the number of children, Chen Deng smiled and said: "Hou Ye, Yuan Long is not talented, he won three games of Hou Ye, please forgive Hou Ye." ”

Lu Rui waved his hand and said, "If you win, you win, I'll trade with you, I'm hungry and want to eat." ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, he hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to prepare dinner, and the shopkeeper went away, but he didn't expect that he didn't cause trouble, and he got a good business!

When the shopkeeper was preparing dinner, Mi Zhu arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, I don't know what Master Hou thinks is the customs clearance tax?" Are we following the past? Still is? ”

Lu Rui patted the table and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense, tax money?" I think it's just a penny a month, and it's good to double it every month, why do you want so much tax money? ”

When the two of them heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and Xin Bi was also startled, a penny? Doubling month by month? This is too little, Xin Bi hurriedly said: "Hou Ye's customs clearance and taxation? ”

Lu Rui looked at Xin Bi and said, "Little fart, I can make my own decisions about taxes!" After saying that, he waved his fist. Xin Bi was silent, Lu Rui was not easy to provoke, if he angered him, he might not even be able to save his life, anyway, trade is also conducive to the development of Fan County, as for the tax money for customs clearance, I believe that the Chen family and the Mi family will do it, a penny is too little. ”

Chen Deng and Mi Zhu glanced at each other, this is too little! Mi Zhu hurriedly said: "Second brother, quickly calculate the tax money for the first year. ”

After Mi Fang received the order, she immediately took out the abacus, calculated it, and said, "Brother, the tax money in the first year is less than 3,000 yuan!" ”

When Chen Deng and Mi Zhu heard this, they said in unison: "Thank you Hou Ye, how about the 20-year trade agreement signed between my two families and Hou Ye?" ”

Lu Rui waved his hand impatiently and said, "Hurry up, twenty years is twenty years, don't talk so much nonsense!" ”

Chen Deng and the others hurriedly thanked them, and then ordered someone to write the contract and handed it to Lu Rui, who looked at the two and said, "No, what if you don't pay me taxes?" ”

Mi Zhu listened, hehe, or a child, afraid that we won't pay taxes? Mi Zhu arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, if we don't pay taxes, you can seize our goods and mortgage the merchant tax!" ”

When Lu Rui heard this, he nodded, and then Chen Deng and Mi Zhu wrote this on the contract, and after Lu Rui showed Xin Bi the contract, he stamped the seal of the Marquis of Qi, and Chen Deng and Mi Zhu also stamped the bronze seal of the two heads of the family! The contract is in effect!

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng saw that they were successful, and immediately began to flatter Lu Rui, Lu Rui just quarreled to eat, the two smiled at each other, and then after having dinner with Lu Rui, they took their leave, and Lu Rui and the others also returned to the inn.

At night, the more Xin Bi thought about it, the more wrong it became, today's game between Lu Rui and Chen Deng seems to be that Lu Rui deliberately lost to Chen Deng, he has seen Lu Rui's chess skills, and he didn't play at the level today, is there a problem?

Then, Xin Bi took out the paper and began to calculate the tax, and after Xin Bi counted a few pages of paper, he was stunned, and the paper slipped out of his hand, this tax is more than the wealth of the Han!

At this time, Lu Rui was sitting on the bed dreaming: Hehe, fool, fool, do you know that the Nth power of 2 is powerful? Haha, 2 to the 20th power is two years, and it will be up to you to pay your taxes then!
