Chapter 31 Fairness, Justice, and Openness
"We can't use the city to protect the city, so we must do it as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will only know until they are outside, and it will be too much of a loss." Lu Xuan pointed to the wilderness road outside the city.
"You can't get it either?" Yang Chong looked at Lu Xuan in surprise, Lu Xuan gave him the feeling that he had always been a very methodical person, no matter what happened, he could always find a solution to Lu Xuan.
"I'm not an immortal, how can I do everything? I'm afraid that the teacher will not be able to do this even if the teacher comes that day. Lu Xuan shook his head, the city protector is so angry that there is Confucianism, more precisely, a Confucianism with advanced cultivation, even if there is no Li Xinian's Taoism, at least he must be a Confucian student.
Or use the academy, and the students of the unmath can read the sages and sages every day, and they can also invisibly condense the green spirit of the city, which is also the reason why basically every city in Daqian has a academy.
However, Guiyiism is a religion in nature, and it is incompatible with Confucianism, at least at the moment, it cannot attract Confucian talents to come over.
Lu Xuan can make Li Xinian compromise on trivial matters, but if he really wants to do such a thing as helping the Guiyi Sect to condense the green qi of the city, he will become a thief.
For Confucianism, who values fame more than life, this is simply impossible.
"Let's just close the gates." Yang Chong was puzzled.
"You can't turn it off every day, can you?" Lu Xuan shook his head: "Only when this person moves can he be rich, otherwise relying on these people in Sanyang County alone, once the city gate is closed, it will be a dead place, no one will come, it won't be long before the food in the city is eaten, how can he make a living?" ”
"But if those governments send spies?" Yang Chong said with a headache.
"It's going to be sent, and it's going to be a lot, but we have to be clear about what is the most important thing right now? Feeding these people in the city is what we should do, and Guo Chang should have had a headache about this, but you also saw his appearance, and we can't count on it, so we can only rely on ourselves. ”
Lu Xuan pointed to the city behind him and said: "Yunzhou is mountainous, and it is not a place for grain production, what we can rely on is the trade exchanges here." ”
"Now that Yunzhou is in chaos like this, will there be businessmen coming?" Yang Chong was puzzled.
"For merchants, as long as the benefits are sufficient, even if it is the Yama Palace, as long as there is a road, dare to come, although this Yunzhou does not produce grain, but it produces horses, there is a salt lake in the south, not to mention the rich iron mines, the Daqian court is not allowed to sell salt and iron privately, but we can, as long as there are these, and then ensure that the trade route is unimpeded, are you afraid that no one will come?"
After speaking, Lu Xuan pointed to the outside of the city and said: "There are three mountains in the north of Sanyang County, if there is an enemy, most of them are in the south, send people every ten miles, build beacon towers, as long as there is a large number of enemies coming, immediately set off beacon fires, we can receive news in time, and the beacon towers everywhere change people every other hour, once contact is lost, close the city gate immediately." ”
"That's a good idea." Yang Chong nodded, in this way, even if there was an enemy attack, they would be able to prepare in time.
"The woods in front of you are cut down, and it's too easy to hide soldiers." Lu Xuan pointed to the woods outside the city, where they had rested when they came.
"Okay." Yang Chong silently wrote it down in his heart.
After the two walked around the city again, Lu Xuancai and Yang Chong returned to the mansion.
When he arrived at the mansion, he saw that a long line of carriages had been parked outside the mansion, and when he saw Lu Xuan and the two coming, someone immediately ran to Lu Xuan and said to Lu Xuan: "Lu Dutong, these are the taxes paid by each family this year, please count them." ”
But it was the wealthy families in the city who sent the taxes that Lu Xuan demanded.
"Well done, Chao." Lu Xuan nodded, went straight to the courtyard, and saw Lu Chao, who was leading people to count the supplies, and beckoned to him.
"Big brother, you're finally back." Lu Chao walked quickly to Lu Xuan and said to Lu Xuan, "I'm checking the account books." ”
"All the food is released separately, and the warm clothes are taken away, and divided into two parts, one for you Brother Yang, and one for us." Taking the two back to the house, Lu Xuan said to Lu Chao.
"Aren't these things going to the treasury?" Yang Chong was puzzled.
"Stupid, you also believe this, this is the root of life, how can you give it to people at will?" Lu Xuan said speechlessly: "Don't be too honest, when people share it, they don't tell you justice, these are good grains, which are different from those old grains in the treasury, of course good things are given priority to their own people, as for others, the old grains in the treasury are not inedible, and they can't be hungry." ”
Although he is already very familiar with Lu Xuan, Yang Chong still has a warmth in his heart at this moment, this feeling of being regarded as his own person is really good.
"When the food is finished, we will go to find all the ways to come over, and we must be fair, just and open in doing things! You can't chill your brothers. Lu Xuan looked at the two and smiled.
Lu Chao: "......"
Yang Chong: "......"
Although these words are fresh, they always feel that they have changed their taste when they come out of Lu Xuan's mouth.
"All of them." A cronie came in from outside the door and hugged Lu Xuan with a fist.
"What?" Lu Xuan's jaw said.
"The Wang family in the north of the city sent someone to send a group of kiln sisters, saying that they were to relieve the boredom of the capital." The cronies laughed.
"What? Missing a woman? Lu Xuan looked at the flush on his cronies' faces that had not yet receded, and scolded with a smile.
"Nope." The cronies hurriedly shook their heads.
"If you want, stay, brothers, I have been fighting for so long, now settle down for the time being, and think that woman has anything to be shy about." Lu Xuan shook his head and scolded: "But the ugly words are ahead, we are going to fight at any time, if there is a war one day, which leg is weak and drags the brothers back, don't blame me for not being emotional." ”
"Dutong, you don't keep one? These kiln sisters are all tight, different from the women they usually see, and they are very good at serving people. The cronies laughed.
"I won't rob the women with my brothers, I'll go and settle those kiln sisters, and then gather the brothers over, there's something wrong." Lu Xuan shook his head and said.
"Yes!" The cronies left with an excited face.
"Big brother, this is not good, didn't you say that our team does not commit adultery and plunder?" Lu Chao looked at Lu Xuan worriedly.
"That's what people do, and it's not that they don't give money, and they can't afford to settle down for their brothers for the time being, so they can't even let women touch them, right?" Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "But this Wang family is interesting, what does it mean to send a group of kiln sisters over?" ”
"I guess my eldest brother hasn't seen a woman, right?" Lu Chao looked at Lu Xuan uncertainly: "Big brother seems to be very familiar with these?" ”
"Hearsay, cough, hearsay, go and do something, don't say what you have or don't have, if you want to go over, they will definitely let you go first." Lu Xuan said dissatisfied.
"Big brother, I'm a scholar." Lu Chao said dissatisfied.
"So what? Not a monk. Yang Chong was puzzled.
"It's a serious person." Lu Chao snorted coldly.
"You mean we're not?" Yang Chong felt inexplicable.
"I'm ......" Lu Chao shook his head a little depressedly: "I'm going to do something, Brother Yang, if you're okay, go find the others and come over." ”
"Ah Chao has been a lot bolder lately, but he always feels more and more like those who read." Yang Chong looked at Lu Chao's back and frowned.
"Originally, let's go recruit people." Lu Xuan's head, with a direction, the Confucian feeling on Lu Chao's body is getting stronger and stronger, and he may soon be touching the doorway, which is a good thing.
