"Sect Master, the other party is really just here to get enough food, but according to the news of the Kamikaze Hall, Huangzhou has not said that there has been a bumper harvest every year in recent years, but there has been no large-scale famine, and since Cui Yan took power, he has begun to suppress the local Haoqiang and the scholar clan on a large scale, and the other party's new order has a lot of places to follow my Guiyi Sect, restricting farming and trading, and the people's will is gradually attached, in the short term, there should not be a shortage of food." Half a month later, Li Xingzhi found Lu Xuan and frowned.

Cui Yan suddenly bought food from here, and it is impossible to cause a shortage of food here, after all, everyone will always leave the food they eat, even if they buy all the food on the market, it is useless, and the other party's demand for food is not urgent.

Li Xingzhi felt that there must be something wrong with the other party's move, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.

Lu Xuan looked at the information sent by the Kamikaze Hall, and said after a while: "Pave the way first, just trade normally, the other party must be on guard, now the times are different, the previous set doesn't work now, just let the merchants from all over the country do business according to the rules, go and get familiar with the face first." ”

"Yes!" Li Xingzhi nodded.

"By the way, is there any movement in the Cui family in Shangyang County?" Lu Xuan asked suddenly.

"No, Shangyang Cui's has contributed a lot in this matter, and actively helped Cui Yan contact grain merchants in various counties in Yunzhou." Li Xingzhi shook his head: "Sect Master, my subordinates still feel that there is a problem in this matter, so we must guard against it." ”

"Defense is certain, even if it's okay, I'm not ready to let go of this opportunity." Lu Xuan looked at Li Xingzhi.

"Opportunity, business?" Li Xingzhi understands the dangers of business, so he is very vigilant about this.

"Everyone has mountains and rivers now, and the battle in the future will be fought around people's hearts, even if he has no problem, such a good opportunity, I will have a problem!" Lu Xuan shook his neck: "From today on, tell everyone that I am practicing, the core personnel, the water mirror contact, you go and call Pei Ruhai, I will use this person easily!" ”

"Yes!" Li Xingzhi nodded, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Xuan: "Senior brother, remember, Pei Ruhai came to me, and even his family and anyone in my house can't know." ”

Li Xingzhi was stunned when he heard this, nodded, and turned to leave.

In the afternoon, Pei Ruhai came to Lu Xuan with some trepidation, accompanied by Li Xingzhi.

"Sect Master, I haven't done anything down there!" The moment Pei Ruhai saw Lu Xuan, he couldn't help but kneel down.

"The head of the Pei family doesn't have to be careful, you should know that I am a reasonable person, I will not kill people for no reason, and I came to you to give you a fortune." Lu Xuan waved his hand and signaled Pei Ruhai to calm down.

"What does the sect leader command, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will not give up!" Pei Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, although Lu Xuan killed people a little casually, he never treated people badly, and he still knew this.

Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Don't be like this, you and I have been for some years, I believe in your ability, and you have done a lot of things for me, so you can also be regarded as my own person." ”

Own?

"Yes, the Pei family can have where it is now, and it is all thanks to the promotion of the sect leader." Pei Ruhai nodded hurriedly.

"There are a few exercises here, there are martial artists, there are Taoists, if you want to learn the skills of Buddhism, I don't have it here, these are all able to practice to the six grades, and there are five grades of exercises in the future, as long as the merits are enough, I will give you, the exercises can be passed down from your family, and when this matter is done, I will allow you a position of deacon or county order." Lu Xuan looked at Pei Ruhaidao.

Pei Ruhai's face turned pale when he heard this, as a businessman, he knew very well that the benefits were proportional to the risks, Lu Xuan was giving exercises and positions, which made Pei Ruhai a little flustered, and quickly knelt down: "Can the sect leader tell me what's going on?" ”

"There must be risks, if you are caught, it is certain that you will lose your head, but if you die, I will take care of your family and descendants, and you can designate someone to inherit these things, and if you have talent, I will personally teach the exercises." Lu Xuan looked at him: "Of course, if you refuse, I understand, I said, I have treated you as my own person, and I won't embarrass you, but you haven't seen me tonight, choose for yourself." ”

Pei Ruhai was silent when he heard this, Lu Xuan said calmly, and although he killed casually, he never took back what he said, which Pei Ruhai still believed in for many years under Lu Xuan's rule.

And what Lu Xuan gave is also tempting enough for him, for a merchant like him, in fact, Lu Xuan's business environment here is the best, of course, the premise is not to touch Lu Xuan's bottom line.

Lu Xuan was not in a hurry, took the tea handed by Li Xingzhi and drank it, waiting for Pei Ruhai's choice.

"Sect Master, Ruhai is willing!" In the end, Pei Ruhai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

For the sake of the Pei family's future, he took this risk.

"There is no guarantee that you will live, but as long as the Pei family does not cause trouble for me, three generations of wealth will be guaranteed!" Lu Xuan put down the teacup and looked at Pei Ruhaidao seriously.

"Ask the Lord for his command." Pei Ruhai took a deep breath and said.

"Now I have reached an agreement with Huangzhou Cui's family, the two sides communicate with each other, you take a batch of goods to Huangzhou as soon as possible to sell, explore the market, I will not give you any help in this regard, but you can ask me for lack of money, what you have to do now is to open up the situation over there, find out the rules, stand firm, how to do business on weekdays, go over there and do it, don't do anything superfluous." Lu Xuan looked at Pei Ruhai and said, "Remember, if you have extra energy, make more friends with local rich people, this will help you plan in the future." ”

"Yes!" Pei Ruhai nodded hurriedly.

"I have two jade pendants here." Lu Xuan took out two jade pendants from his body, and then slowly approached them: "When they touch, they will merge into one!" ”

As Lu Xuan's words fell, the two jade pendants really fused into one.

Lu Xuan then dismantled the two jade pendants, handed one of them to Pei Ruhai and said with a smile: "There is no use in other things, it is an ordinary jade pendant, you hold one, when someone brings another one to look for you, it means that our plan should begin, and the person who comes will explain the content of the plan to you, no matter who the person is, you can absolutely trust him." ”

Pei Ruhai took the jade pendant with both hands, bowed down and said, "Ruhai understands." ”

"Exercises, you pick a book, it's okay to practice, at least you can live a long life." Lu Xuan pointed to a few exercises on the table and said with a smile.

"This ......" Pei Ruhai looked at the exercises on the table, a little dazed, he really didn't understand these.

"This book is the secret technique of the five elements of Taoism, the collection of the Tiandu Palace in the past, this book of longevity is also considered Taoist, it has no effect, the qi is mild, there are no characteristics but there are no shortcomings; This Secret Book of Returning to the Yuan was taught by me and created by all the masters, including me, this ......"

"Sect Master, I choose the Guiyuan Secret Record!" Pei Ruhai's eyes lit up and looked at Lu Xuandao.

"After thinking about it, this five-grade exercise has not yet been created, and at present, I can only barely enter the six-grade, but the victory lies in a solid foundation." Lu Xuan asked.

"Ruhai has thought about it." Pei Ruhai nodded, the Guiyuan Secret Record was learned by the Guiyi Sect, this is not only a practice, but also a kind of identity, today's Guiyi Sect is different from the Guiyi Sect eight years ago, it is located in the land of two states, plus the fall of the imperial court, the Guiyi Sect may not be able to win Kyushu in the future, and it is right to choose the Guiyuan Secret Record.

"Okay." Lu Xuan nodded, turned his head to look at Li Xingzhi: "Senior brother, I still have to bother you to send the head of the Pei family back." ”

"Yes." Li Xingzhi nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Pei, please." ”

"Mr. Li is polite, polite~" Pei Ruhai hurriedly bowed, this was the first time he felt respected and recognized by Lu Xuan, Pei Ruhai felt a little sour at the corners of his eyes and wanted to cry~

Pei Ruhai walked without any waves, just like most of the traders involved in this interconnected trade, Pei Ruhai was inconspicuous.

Before leaving, he specially inquired about a lot of things with the merchants in Huangzhou who came here to trade, and after making sufficient preparations, he chose a kind of goods that he thought could make money and personally led the team to Huangzhou.

After nearly a year, Pei Ruhai and other normal traders traveled back and forth between Huangzhou, and Lu Xuan announced a retreat to the outside world, but the miraculous thing is that even if Lu Xuan retreats every day and does not ask about political affairs and educational affairs, the operation of the Guiyi Church is still in good order, and there is no sign of error.

Huangzhou, Tianquan County, Yangquan City.

"Big brother, according to the news from the secret agent, that Lu Xuan is in retreat all day long and ignores government affairs." Cui Ping walked quickly to Cui Yan's side and asked, "Do we still need to buy grain this year?" Last year, I bought a year's worth of grain, and the warehouse here is full. ”

"I didn't buy it this year, I mainly bought Yuzhu this year." Cui Yan grabbed the chess pieces in his hand and studied the endgame in front of him, and said casually.

"Yuzhu?" Cui Ping was puzzled.

"Well, there is jade bamboo in Fujishan, and there is ointment in the bamboo, which is sweet, which is a rare delicacy in Yunzhou, and has a little aphrodisiac effect." Cui Yan nodded and smiled.

"How much to buy?" Cui Ping nodded, he naturally knew this kind of bamboo.

"Buy as much as you want." Cui Yan thought about it and said.

"Why do you buy so much?" Cui Ping was puzzled, although it was delicious, there were not many people who could afford it.

"The situation in the world has changed, there were no mountains and rivers before, so the war relied on swords, and now there are mountains and rivers, the war is not only the sword soldiers but also the hearts of the people, then Lu Xuan does have some ability to govern, and the use of soldiers is not bad, if the war starts, we may not have a chance of winning, the way of chess, never defeats the strong with the weak, is to promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, he is very good at fighting, we will not fight with him, he is from a humble background after all, his vision is limited after all, there are some things, he can't think of it." Cui Yan said with a smile.

"What does this have to do with buying bamboo?" Cui Ping was a little confused.

Cui Yan glanced at Cui Ping: "You are not as good as him, just do it!" ”

Lu Xuan can sit in the land of two states, Cui Yan also obtained the seal of mountains and rivers, only to understand why Lu Xuan was able to make his generals and officials support him, he recognized Lu Xuan's ability, so he didn't compare the art of war with him, just start from the direction he didn't understand, although Lu Xuan was born as a trader, but he was only a hawker, to deal with this kind of person, Cui Yan has confidence!
