Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 169 The Strange Hedong County (2)

"Back then... I guess I have suffered a lot, right? ”

Du Yi looked at the hidden expression on Elwei's body, and seemed to be able to think of the entanglements and memories in his heart, and he could also feel the sense of grievance when he recalled the past.

"Fujun... The home of the merchants... Life is not easy! ”

When this sentence came out, it seemed that it really exhausted all of Elway's strength, and even made her sit directly on the bed, and the sigh was also to vent his helplessness.

"It is indeed not easy for the family of Shangjia, when Emperor Xiaohuan was at the end, the son of the good family of the six counties was Yulinlang.

Since then, my Han has turned a good family into the minimum standard for being an official and a general, and the so-called good family is a person who is not in the army or the children of non-doctors, witches, businessmen, and hundreds of workers, and is a good family!

Among them, the children of hundreds of workers often enter the official workshop, which is also a good background.

Wu Yi wants to come to my Han Dynasty is not tolerated, the medical Tao is connected, and he has his own Heavenly Master Dao or many other Taoist schools to help one or two.

Only this merchant family has no one to help, and everything they pass by is on their own, and they are bullied. ”

Du Yi said these words word by word, and every word he said would make Na Weiwei's face even more embarrassed and ugly.

In the end, all that remained was an endless wry smile.

"So... Everyone said that my father was too utilitarian, but he was the hero of my Elk family, if it weren't for my father, my Elk clan was still struggling to survive in Xuzhou.

Even we can't imagine that if it weren't for the fact that our family was under the command of Xuande Gong back then, then what would be the result of our waiting now! ”

When Elway said this, he was already helpless, even desolate and miserable...

Many people said that their elk family was a charcoal to Liu Bei back then, and that the Xuande Duke had not followed the emperor of the Han Dynasty that year.

That year, he was still in Xuzhou, dreaming that he could become famous.

But his dream was soon shattered, Lu Bu betrayed him, and Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Shu, defeated him, and then the army was defeated, and the poverty fell to the extreme...

It was at that time, in Haixi County, Guangling County, that Lu Zhu directly married his biological sister to Liu Bei, who was poor and could no longer live, despite everyone's opposition.

And attached a dowry that can be called luxurious, 2,000 slaves, gold and silver currency to help the army!

I don't know how many Wanguan family fortunes were sent into Liu Bei's army, replenishing his soldiers and horses, setting the tone for his re-rise, and at the same time giving him finally hope to revive the morale of the army.

In the end, he came all the way to Liu Xie's side and became what he is today.

Yes, the reason why Elk Zhu was able to have such a high status under Liu Bei was not only because of the relationship between him and Liu Bei, but also because of the charcoal in the snow.

Back then, in Haixi County, Guangling County, when he was in the most difficult time, it was the Elk family who helped him get out of the predicament, that was help, that was life-saving!

But is this really a big gamble on the Elk family?

In fact, if Lu Zhu can't give an explanation to his family, even if there are no old people in their family, it will be difficult to do it.

In the final analysis, Lu Zhu only told everyone in the Elk family a very tragic reality.

"Tao Qian likes face, we can also congratulate Qi around, Xuande is benevolent, and he will not be greedy for us.

But what about Lu Bu? What about Yuan Shu? Or is it Cao Mengde, who has just retired?

Which of these three people will give the elk family a way to live?

Lu Bu is greedy for money and lustful, and his indulgence is already famous in the world.

The Yuan Highway is even more plundering, and the people under his rule are not able to make a living, and there is almost no life at all.

There is also Cao Mengde, who even dared to steal the tomb of King Liang for the sake of military supplies, that is the prince king of my Han Dynasty, and the king of Liang Xiao when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor!

Cao Mengde slaughtered the city and dug graves, unscrupulous means to achieve his goals...

No matter who is in charge of the three of them, is there a way for my elk family to live? ”

It's such a simple truth, so that the elk family has no love up and down to continue to argue.

The family of merchants, their money is so ridiculous, and in the troubled times, they are ridiculous...

Looking at Elwei's bitter and lonely face, Du Ji couldn't help but chuckle in the end, and then said with a smile to Na Miwei.

"You... I underestimate your father.

It was indeed a helpless move for him to defect to Xuzhou back then, but why did Lu Zhu choose that Liu Xuande in the end, not only because he had no choice, but most importantly...

He wants to be the next Lü Buwei, and even he wants to surpass Lü Buwei! ”

“????” At this time, Elk Wei looked at Du Ji in front of him, and he even felt that something was wrong with this Du Fujun?

Lü Buwei? Of course he knew who Lü Buwei was, and he was one of the heroes of the old Qin people, but...

"Du Fujun, the kid is grateful to Du Fujun for being able to value his father so much, and he values my elk's family, but... That's just that!

In the future, whether it reaches His Majesty's ears or someone's ears, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for my Elk..."

When Elk Wei said this, he couldn't help but stand up directly, he was really afraid, this sentence can be said to have almost sent their entire clan to ... Send them all in!

If Liu Xie knew what Du Yi said just now, what would become of their Elk family in the future, and what would that Xuande Gong become.

This is no joke!

Du Ji saw that Elk Wei was so excited at this time, although he still wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head with a wry smile.

At the same time, it is inevitable that there will be some emotion in my heart.

"Lu Zhu's idea is really good, he is a businessman, but he never touches the way of a businessman, leaving his sister behind, and educating himself and his son in the direction of the family.

He himself has an extraordinary demeanor and can bow a good horse, which is not something that a businessman should learn.

Maybe it's because you can't find a more suitable candidate, but you haven't worked hard for so many years to follow Liu Xuande.

Even now, you haven't given up on Liu Xuande... Moose... If it weren't for Your Majesty, you might really be able to rely on Liu Xuande to get to that point.

But it's a pity that you only have Lü Buwei's vision, but you don't have Lü Buwei's ability.

He Lü Buwei can be called one of the great Qin's meritorious deeds, not only because of his vision, but also because he led his troops to capture Zhou, Zhao, Weiguo and other places, and successively set up Sanchuan County, Taiyuan County, and Dongjun County.

In the thirty-six counties of Great Qin, he captured three alone. That's how it happened.

And not just... Hey, that's it, it's just a pity! ”

In Du Ji's eyes, Lu Zhu is a very good person, but it's a pity that he doesn't have enough background, and now he is not the world he was back then, so he is one step behind after all.

If His Majesty hadn't been born, he would not have been able to follow Liu Bei to achieve a career.

It's a pity... It's a pity after all!

However, after solving this matter, Du Ji also talked about the current situation in Hedong County.

"Boy, do you know why the old man is so happy now?"

"It's... The kid doesn't know! ”

"I wanted to tell you something about your father, but it's up to you... That's it, the old man said it more directly.

Your elk family also had some vision in Xuzhou back then, do you know why the Xuande Gong had to reuse the people of Xuzhou after he went to Xuzhou.

Even Cao Bao, Xu Tan, Zhang Xu, Zhou Kui... These people obviously don't have some loyalty to that Liu Xuande, but they still have to use them very much.

even let them take charge of the army, which finally led to the change of hands in Xuzhou, and he almost died in Xuzhou? ”

"This..."

"Then do you know why Cao Mengde was defeated in Yanzhou, almost homeless, and almost surrendered to Yuan Benchu early, and went to become his general under Yuan Benchu?"

"This..."

"Because in this troubled world, if an outsider wants to gain a foothold in a place, then he must follow a rule.

That is to reuse the local wealthy families, only in this way can we win the hearts of the people.

Otherwise, day and night, there will be people below who tell the people how cruel the lord of this land is, and how the reputation of that man stenchs.

Even if you kill the local wealthy family, this kind of thing will still happen, and even get worse.

Even if in the end... Even if you kill all the local people in the end, this matter will really be confirmed.

This is the rule of troubled times, a large amount of land was swallowed up by them, and those people became their tenant farmers and private soldiers, so that their strength increased.

At the same time, the deterrent effect of the imperial court has become very weak.

For so many years, the old man has been large-scale edification in this place east of the river, and he wanted to use this matter to slowly control the east of the river.

Cultivate more usable people to take power back from their hands.

But now the old man sees a better opportunity!

That's this time of conscription... The old man didn't expect that he, Zhang Yan, would be such a rule-abiding guy.

Whether he was to repay His Majesty for letting him go twice, or simply wanted to show favor to His Majesty, in short, I had already seen it from his passing in front of the camp before.

He will not use his sword to hurt us.

Plus the grain and grass that was given to him before... The old man is eighty percent sure, even if I wait for them to widen the river and clean up the silt under their noses.

He wouldn't do anything to us.

And this time, as long as the old man makes good use of it, he can completely use the prestige of the old man, the prestige of His Majesty, and the prestige of the Han court... Straight to the top! ”
