Luo Chun: "I recognize, we came back from Shuobei and walked that road." ”

He sighed and complained: "The road is much more difficult to walk than Guanyang." ”

Lu Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Can you pass the car?" ”

Luo Chun thought for a while, "Yes, I couldn't do it in the past, but I can't do it now." ”

Tens of thousands of people traveled from the north to the south, and they came out without a road.

Luo Chun: "But I can remind you, those roads are desolate, and you can't even see anyone after walking for miles." ”

Lu Xu: "Is it dangerous?" ”

Luo Chun touched his chin and smiled confidently: "Then it depends on who is gone." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Xu could also see that Luo Chun was interested.

However, Luo Chun still kindly suggested that Lu Xu take the waterway, "If you want to buy some sheep, it is cost-effective to go to the state capital by water." ”

Lu Xu sighed: "I also want to take the waterway, but no one wants to take care of me." ”

Luo Chun: "Why? ”

Lu Xu didn't hide it, and he was a little depressed and told him about his plan to go north and how he was rejected by the shippers.

Luo Chun couldn't help nodding and muttered, "It turns out that Qiu Hu went to the north of Qianjiao Ridge. ”

Lu Xu: "Do you know Brother Tiger?" ”

Luo Chun smiled: "Know!" I've even been in a fight! That kid was crazy when he came to Guanyang, if it weren't for our brothers, Guanyang would have been rampant. ”

Lu Xu was curious: "You won?" ”

Luo Chun coughed and changed the topic, he and Luo Shen pressed Qiu Hu into prison two to one, so he didn't want to say this kind of thing, "It's a bit interesting to go to the barbarian's territory." ”

It's just to buy sheep, he is interested in going out for a walk, but his interest is not too big, and he will meet barbarians when he goes to Qianjiaoling, and his interest is much higher.

Originally, in the army, he also wanted to go to the west with Qiu Hu and them, but his brother and his family stared at him and didn't allow him to walk around, and spent money to get them all to repair the city wall in Shuozhou, and he didn't fight on the battlefield, and he still felt a little regretful in his heart.

Luo Chun sighed twice, this kind of thinking of being beaten is not enough, so that the old man and the old lady of his family will never want to go out again when they hear him.

Luo Chun looked at Lu Xu, thinking about the appreciation and evaluation of the uncle and cousins when they talked about Lu Xu on weekdays, his eyes narrowed, and he pouted: "Brother, you like me, of course I am willing to go with you, but my situation is a bit special, I can't be the master myself, you have to convince our old man." ”

Lu Xu patted his chest: "No problem!" I'll go talk to the old man! ”

Since he dared to come, he was also somewhat sure.

The Luo family is not as good as theirs, their family is honest in cultivating wasteland, and the Luo family has practiced martial arts for several generations, so he doesn't believe that they really have no ambition.

Daqi is at most a clerk if he doesn't go through the imperial examination, and the Luo family has become a county lieutenant, so there is no hope for going up, but it is more than enough to shelter the family.

Now they have a good reputation in Guanyang, but they still work hard to make a living by selling martial arts, if their family is not ruthless to make black money, don't think about making a fortune.

Talking to the old man of the Luo family, what he said was the general direction of the plan, what are the goals for this year, what are the goals for three years, and what are the long-term goals for five or ten years.

Drawing a perfect and delicious cake, Lu Xu also said openly and honestly what he can provide and what he can do now, and he needs to explain clearly what the other party needs, and finally even said how to divide the dividends.

It is not insincere.

Anyway, in Guanyang County, he really can't find anyone else to cooperate with, if he can't say that the Luo family is moving, then he can only come by himself, and Lu Xu has nothing to hide.

The old man of the Luo family didn't agree immediately, and he didn't disagree, although he was the head of the Luo family and the nominal patriarch, but in the end, he was old, and he wanted to discuss this kind of thing with a few young and strong juniors.

Old Man Luo happily praised Lu Xu for his youth and promisingness, and asked him to wait for Luo County Lieutenant Xiu Mu to come to his house for dinner and be a guest.

When Lu Xu heard it, there was a play! immediately said happily: "Okay, wait for Uncle Rob to come and try your craftsmanship." ”

Old Man Luo said happily: "Let's talk about cooking skills in Guanyang, no one dares to say that the second is the first, but we have two steamed dishes at home and can handle them, you and Luo Shen are also familiar with each other, so they have nothing to do and come to the house to sit." ”

Lu Xu: "Okay! My family has also moved here, and I'm worried that I don't have a place to hang out. ”

They chatted enthusiastically for a while, and Lu Xu said goodbye and went home.

Luo Chun sent Lu Xu out, and when he came back, Old Man Luo sat alone in the hall in a daze, "Sent away?" ”

Luo Chun: "Gone, trotting." ”

Old Man Luo, this Lu Xu is really like Luo Shen said, smart, but he has no scheming.

He looked at his unreliable five grandsons, and suddenly flashed in his mind: Is their family's five boys unreliable, or is this Lu Xu more jumpy?

Chapter 124: Changing Citizenship

In the evening, County Lieutenant Luo and Luo Shen came back from the lower offices, and listened to Old Man Luo and Luo Chun talk like this while eating.

Luo Shen subconsciously frowned, and began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, but County Lieutenant Luo didn't speak, but his eyes lit up.

Luo Chun observed silently, and immediately saw that the uncle was moved.

Lieutenant Luo asked, "Our family only needs people?" ”

Luo Chun nodded: "That's what I said, he pays for the shipment, let's send people, the two companies that are not enough recruit together, the two partnerships, the profit is three points, we each get a share, leave a share to invest in the next trip, expand the scale, and our caravan will kick out this road, and make it the largest caravan from Guanyang to Shuobei, no need to expand again, and then divide the profits equally." ”

Hearing "the largest caravan from Guanyang to Shuobei", County Lieutenant Luo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in his heart that he dared to think about it, and he was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue.

Luo Chun saw Luo Shen looking at him, and shirked: "I didn't say this, it was Lu Xu who said it, and grandpa also heard it." ”

Luo Shen ignored him, "What if you can't make the biggest caravan all the time?" ”

Luo Chun: "He said that in ten years at the latest, if it can't be done, the two of us will discuss it again, as long as one of them doesn't want to expand, the profits will be shared equally." ”

Luo Shen nodded.

Then there was silence at the dinner table.

The family ate silently, each thinking about their own.

Several young people eating at the other table had returned from the Shuozhou battlefield, and they didn't know what they were thinking as they bit their chopsticks.

That road was not only walked by Luo Chun, but also by several members of the Luo family.

This road passes through Jianyang and Chongning, and these two counties are among the poorest in Longxing for no other reason - there are many mountains.

There are many mountains, but there are no big rivers, water transportation is not accessible, and grain production is not good.

Jianyang is the largest county in Longxing, and it is poorer than Guanyang. Chongning is the longest from north to south, worse than Jianyang, Jianyang is next to the state capital in the south, and Chongning is too far away to even go to the state capital.

And further north, over the mountain into the Shuozhou boundary, it is worse than Jianyang and Chongning.

Their Longxing County is not too poor in the whole Daqi, and other rich counties can finally take care of these poor counties, Shuobei, the frontier land, the cold wind is bitter, the summer is short and the winter is long, and the property is even more barren, and they have to rely on the imperial court to buy grain for them every year, otherwise they will not be able to eat.

Road?

Naturally, don't even think about it.

There were only a few marching roads, and most of them were barren and grassy.

They wanted to take the caravan this way, but they didn't have to worry much about robbery.

First, there are many of them, and secondly, Daqi is heavily punished, especially in the border counties, where there are troops stationed all year round, and those bandits and robbers are not enough for them to encircle and suppress.

The biggest risks on the road are road conditions, weather and beasts.

The Luo family is naturally not afraid of these things, but who is willing to take risks if they can avoid them?

But Lu Xu's blueprint is really fascinating.

Their family really has no talent in business, and they have tried, but they have not achieved much in two generations.

In addition to farming and selling grain, the family's biggest income is rent.

Their family has a house half a street in Guanyang, which they bought when they first wanted to do business. The business didn't work, and renting a house became a business. But only they know about it.

After a long time, seeing that the meal was about to be finished, someone at the table of the younger generation said: "Grandpa, uncle, let's do it!" Anyway, we only need to be out, and a loss is a loss of time. ”

As soon as he spoke, others also spoke: "I also think that we won't lose money if we try, we will walk that road, and it is not impossible to walk if we wade away." ”

Old Man Luo frowned: "If you withdraw your troops, can tens of thousands of people go the same way as a few of you?" When you encounter a pack of wolves, they will take you away! ”

Several young men laughed.

The young man who was the first to speak said: "That road is not completely deserted, and those small merchants and vendors in villages and towns are also using it. ”

Others nodded.

"Shall we bring more men!"

"Walk along the populated area."

"That Lu Xu is two years younger than me, he dares, what dare I do."

"Yes."

Old Man Luo didn't know what they were thinking.

It's just that Lu Xu is younger than them and his background is not as good as theirs, but he is already a well-known figure in Guanyang, and they are still living in the yamen with their brother and uncle, and they feel that they are unproductive.

Being an official sounds good, but they have little money in their hands, they are young, they haven't learned to make money, and they are usually poor, otherwise they wouldn't have asked for it every time Lu Xu sent a coupon.

They also want to save face, isn't there no such condition?

Thinking of this, Old Man Luo actually admired Lu Xu a little more, he generally understood the thoughts of his grandchildren, but in this way, Lu Xu could still be friends with them, which shows that Lu Xu is not just currying bribes for them.

It's easy to cage people, but it's hard to cage hearts.

If there is no sincerity and sincerity, it will not be exchanged for sincerity.

His grandsons are a little stupid, and they are not so easy to coax.

Old Man Luo pondered, and saw that Luo Shen seemed to have something to say, and he didn't speak for a long time, so he asked, "Luo Shen, what do you want to say?" ”

Luo Shen was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Lu Xu, your luck is very strong. ”

The whole family looked at him in unison: "Huh? ”

Then they all remembered Lu Xu's life and had to say, "Uh...... It seems to be a little ...... Hmmm......"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, speechless.

The hairy boy who popped up from a small village somehow knocked down the boat to help the Song family, thinking about it, it was obviously not him who helped, but in the end he picked up the cheapest and the best.
