The middle-aged man nodded, "I'll investigate what you said." ”

Lu Xu smiled, thinking, whatever, he didn't lie, can he be afraid of investigation?

It was not timid.

The middle-aged man motioned for them to find a place to sit down and talk, Lu Xu knew that the first level had passed, so he was not polite, so he found a clean stone and moved it to the opposite side of the middle-aged man, sat down obediently, and waited for the training.

The other three people who were looking for stumps and stones at random: "......"

This man is such a dogleg!

The young man was going to sit next to the middle-aged man, but he didn't sit here, he didn't sit either, and he wondered in his heart, why don't he go and move a stone?

The middle-aged man had already chatted with Lu Xu again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Lu Xu's knowledge of current affairs, "What's your name?" ”

"General Hui, Xiaomin Lu Xu, a native of Lujia Village, Yinma Town, Guanyang County, Longxing County, has three brothers in the family and a younger sister, they are all young, I am the eldest in the family, I have opened a few shops in the county, do some business, and I am quite famous in the county."

“……”

Young man: Who asked you?

The middle-aged man asked him very kindly: "How many shops have you opened?" What shop? ”

Lu Xu replied: "Oh, it's mainly a few food shops, a grocery store, and a ready-to-wear store at home." ”

"Eatery?" The middle-aged man remembered the stir-fried dishes that had recently become popular in several county towns near Longxing County in Chongning and Shuozhou, as well as the Guanyang iron pot that was gradually popularized in the army. ”

Lu Xu was modest: "The general's awards are all small business. ”

The middle-aged man chuckled, "You are not the handiwork of small traders. ”

Lu Xu smiled: "The general has won the award." ”

Middle-aged man: "Don't be nervous, my surname is He, not a general." ”

Lu Xu was as kind as a stream: "Oh, Brother He." ”

The young man coughed heavily.

Hearing this surname, Lu Qing frowned unconsciously, and secretly looked at the middle-aged man's face.

Lu Xu doesn't know much about the army, even if he has a delicate heart, he can't guess anything from only a surname, since he is not a general, Lu Xu is also a little angry when he looks at him, so he asked familiarly: "Brother He is not a general, is that a person from the government?" ”

He Chengye laughed: "I'm not from the government, I can be regarded as a temporary overseer." ”

"Overseers?"

"Supervise them to suppress bandits and assist military households in moving north."

Lu Xu was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to really say this to him, an ordinary person.

After a few turns in his mind, he didn't understand why they got mixed up with bandits and bandits to rob him, since they were bandits?

The doubts in his heart did not show it on his face, but immediately gave a respectful thumbs up, "Brother He's merits are immeasurable!" ”

He Chengye didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic, "You are not afraid of mentioning the government." ”

Lu Xu: "What do I do if I don't steal or rob the government?" I have a record in the government, and there is also a nephew of our Guanyang County Lieutenant in the team. ”

Lu Xu clearly showed "I am an official businessman", "I have someone in the government", and "I am deeply trusted by the government".

Don't ask others to think that he has any background, it just shows that he is innocent and frank, not a smuggling black businessman, since everyone is a serious person, don't rob him!

He Chengye could naturally see his careful thoughts, and he ignored it, and continued to ask: "I heard Ah Lian say that you plan to go through Shuozhou and go to Yonggu County to do business with the barbarians, and there is a way to make money by road?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Xu muttered silently in his heart: "This person didn't really lack money to come to fight him, right?" ”

Then he explained: "I am not doing business with the barbarians, but with the military households of Yonggu County. ”

He Chengye: "Oh? ”

Lu Xu thought of the unenlightened fake bandit leader just now, and couldn't help but feel tired for a while, thinking that this Brother He was also a person who didn't know how to operate, so he was speechless and asked Cangtian.

Thinking that he might have to explain a lot from the beginning, Lu Xu couldn't help but be poor, and sighed: "It seems that Brother He doesn't know how to do business like the brother over there." ”

The young man on the side coughed violently.

Lu Xu: "Brother, my throat is uncomfortable, I have medicine for cough there, and I also have throat lozenges made of mint, are you either?" ”

The young man gritted his teeth: "Don't! ”

He Chengye smiled, "Sugar made of mint? I will make some mint drinks in the summer at home to cool off, and I haven't heard that mint can be used to make sugar, Ah Lian, you go get some. ”

The young man hesitated.

Seeing this, Lu Xu took the initiative to say: "It's so hot, I just want to eat too, second uncle, you go and get it for Brother Allian, it's in the car that loaded the groceries, in the big cyan jar." ”

The second uncle will go together, so this person doesn't have to worry about his disadvantage to the eldest brother surnamed He, right?

How to look at the other party has also practiced.

He Chengye was a little surprised, and said in his heart that this kid really had a delicate heart, and he immediately saw the key to Ah Lian's worries.

If he and Allen went to get it, leaving the disarmoured soldier with the knife, Allen would not be at ease.

If they had taken it themselves, Allen might have been afraid that he would have manipulated the food, and whether he ate or not would have embarrassed the negotiations.

Only when Ah Lian watched them take out the candy from the goods with his own eyes could he rely on this little candy to show goodwill and bring him closer.

He Chengye smiled: "Ah Lian, you go with him, take more." ”

Chen Lian nodded, and glared at Lu Xu warningly before leaving.

Lu Xu returned a cheerful smile full of kindness, revealing a mouthful of big white eyes, and behaved very docile and harmless.

He Chengye said: "I see that you seem to have some punches and kicks?" ”

Lu Xu: "Yes! ”

Immediately, he proudly showed off the glorious deeds of fighting with Song Liu by the river.

It's lively, but there is a lot of stock in and out of the words, I am a wild way to win by fighting with little hooligans, you can rest assured, give me three hundred dares and dare not do anything with you.

He Chengye can be regarded as having some understanding of Lu Xu's temper.

He Chengye asked: "You just said that you didn't want to do business with the barbarians, what did you mean?" ”

Lu Xu: "Brother He is not a local, right?" ”

He Chengye didn't know why he suddenly asked this, could it be that he guessed his identity? But Lu Xu didn't act like that.

He didn't think much about it and said honestly, "No. ”

Lu Xu: "Then Brother He is hungry when he arrives in a strange place, should he go to a restaurant or restaurant to eat, or go to a farmer to buy noodles and vegetables, and make it himself?" ”

He Chengye was stunned, "You mean to let the military households in the north be the restaurant in the middle?" ”

Lu Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right! ”

Fortunately, this one is not too stupid, so he doesn't need a little explanation.

Chapter 135: Partners

"First, I don't understand the language with the barbarians, and there are many inconveniences, so I rush to contact them, and it is dangerous to make a bad deal, if I want to trade with the barbarians...... At least for now, not many people are willing, and I don't want to. ”

He Chengye nodded.

Not to mention the greedy business travel, even if the military households deal with the barbarians, nine times out of ten, they are also very resistant.

Not only Shuozhou, but also the entire northern border, the Daqi people are still very wary and resistant to the barbarians.

Lu Xu said: "Second, the military households are the ones who have to deal with the barbarians in the north for a long time, they dare to do business with the barbarians, dare to interact with each other, and even make money from the barbarians, and grasp the initiative in commerce and trade, so that they can really not be afraid of the barbarians, become the masters of the north, and live in the north." ”

Hearing the second reason, He Chengye was taken aback.

He doesn't understand business and trade, but if it comes to border stability, politics, military intelligence, etc., He Chengye can throw Lu Xu off many streets.

Lu Xu's sentence "Become the master of the north and live in the north" made him nervous.

The DPRK and China quarreled over the land they had seized from the barbarians, the migration of military households, and so on, but the core was actually how to stabilize the border and prevent the barbarians from rebelling and counterattacking, so as not to plunge Daqi into boundless war again.

Using military households to guard over and contain the barbarians is a method negotiated by many parties, but when it is implemented, it is already extremely difficult to let the people migrate from various places.

He came this time to do this important thing, and he understood that although the migrating military families were here, their hearts were not in the north.

Lu Xu said that it is a method, only if the military households can take root in the north safely, they will be willing to make this place their home and guard this place.

For a moment, He Chengye thought about many important matters in the court, and then looked at Lu Xu with a sharp gaze.

But what about Lu Xu?

He was also afraid that He Chengye would not understand, so he racked his brains to explain to him: "It's like opening a restaurant or restaurant, collecting grain and buying vegetables from farmers, making good meals and selling them to diners, making money from them, and earning money before you can open a branch again." ”

"When the store becomes bigger, the restaurant doesn't have the energy to buy from the farmers, then there can be a special grain shop to collect grain, a special vegetable shop to collect food, and the restaurant can only go to the grain store and vegetable shop to buy, they just need to study how to make the food more delicious and attract more people." In this way—"

Lu Xu counted with his fingers: "Farmers have money to make, grain shops and vegetable shops have money to make, restaurants and restaurants have money to make, and everyone has made a fortune." ”

"Compared with the north, our business travelers are guests, and the military households and people in the north are restaurants, grain shops, and vegetable shops, of course, the farmers are not only barbarians, the military households and the people who have moved north have lived for a long time, and there must be other similar livelihoods."

"What's more interesting than the restaurant is that we don't just come to eat, we also bring grain, cloth and other items from the south, so that there is no shortage of food and clothing in the north, and the south can also use the specialties of the north, cattle, horses, furs, everywhere, and sheep, I am very interested in mutton!"

Lu Xu was already hungry for mutton under the other party's nose.

He Chengye, who grew up in the circle of intrigue and power, couldn't understand whether Lu Xu was smart or stupid.

He Chengye asked: "The northern border is so big, why do you have to go to Yonggu County?" ”

"Oh, my brother-in-law is doing 100 households in the north of Yonggu County, and if I have my own people, of course I have to go to my own people."

Seeing that He Chengye was interested in Qiu Hu, Lu Xu praised how Qiu Hu went down the mountain to make a living alone, how he took the villagers down the mountain, worked hard in Guanyang, and was determined to move the whole village down the mountain.

After his praise without a trace, Qiu Hu's image is called a powerful and tall.

Although He Chengye said that he is not a general, but the identity of a person who can supervise the army can be simple? Lu Xu fiercely brushed a wave of presence for Qiu Hu.

Anyway, now that the battle is over, Qiu Hu is not good at making military merits, and if he can perform for him in front of the leader, he must perform.

Besides, he didn't make it up, if He Chengye had a heart, no matter what he could find, he could find the basis, and Lu Xu was also very frank.

As long as he can remember the name Qiu Hu, maybe he will reuse it one day?

After a while, Chen Lian and Lu Qing came back with candy, and they chatted while eating one by one.
