Lu Yi instructed Chen Deng and Zhuge Liang to do things, and stayed in the mansion for a while before returning to Lu's house with Nangong Yan and Shi Huan.

The three of them rode on horseback and walked along the road when they saw the people greeting them from time to time.

Lu Yi also kept nodding and smiling in response.

Seeing some children chasing in groups, Lu Yi was in a trance for a moment.

I feel like I'm back in my childhood.

The only difference is that these people around me are wearing ancient costumes.

Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Such a peaceful and prosperous world is really good. ”

Nangong Yan said with a smile: "This is all your credit, Brother Lu. ”

"Since Brother Lu took over Jiangdong and destroyed the Sun family, this Wu County has not experienced any more wars."

"Especially in the past two years, taxes have been reduced, people have been encouraged to reclaim land, and Mintun and Bingtun have also risen, which has really made clothes flourish in Jiangdong."

"My father came here before and told me that even our Nangong family's Caoyun business is much better."

Shi Huan also smiled: "If you can keep not fighting, and the people of Jiangdong states and counties can live a stable life, then it is really good." ”

After a pause, Shi Huan seemed to fall into a reminiscence: "Imagine that when I was a child, I fought everywhere, and the people didn't have enough to eat. ”

"And now, not to mention worry-free food and clothing, at least, there are no days when we can eat a meal and be hungry for three days."

"The businesses of the major families are also thriving."

"I'm so old, and I gave birth to a child."

"Even my brother-in-law Zhu Zhi has given birth to children in the past two years because he has settled down."

"Thinking about it before, he didn't care about this at all, he didn't even have an heir, and he had to let Ran'er succeed him as a son."

Nangong Yan nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is the reason why the people's lives are better." ”

Lu Yi also nodded.

The three of them returned to Lu's house.

Nangong Yan and Shi Huan also went back to their homes.

Lu Yi returned to his yard.

It's early morning.

The warm sun shone on the earth, casting a golden glow on the yard.

Under the sun, Da Qiao was patiently teaching Lu Hao to read and read.

Lu Hao, as the eldest son of the concubine, is now four years old and can run all over the ground.

Xiao Qiao and Lu Qiling sat together, talking and laughing while shaking the cradle.

In the cradle, Lu Yi's son and daughter were sleeping soundly.

Zhuge Ruoxue is embroidering.

Although Lu Yi is now the lord of Jiangdong, and the Lu family is the first family in Jiangdong, with businesses all over various states and counties, and the wealth is comparable to that of the country, Zhuge Ruoxue still insists on weaving and embroidering.

Especially Lu Yi's children, almost all of the clothes they wear are from her.

Huang Yueying and Cao Jie are writing and painting on the wood.

Now, Huang Yueying and Cao Jie's stomachs are bulging.

They were all confirmed to be pregnant by medical staff.

Among them, Huang Yueying has been five months.

Cao Festival is only a little more than four months old.

Although they are pregnant, the two daughters do not have peace of mind to raise the baby, but are still busy every day.

They're trying to figure out how to make a wooden cow and a flowing horse.

Before, someone reacted to Lu Yi that when harvesting grain, because of the long distance, people often worked hard to carry food.

There are even old people who die of exhaustion on the ridges.

Therefore, Lu Yi proposed the concepts of trolleys and wooden oxen and flowing horses to Huang Yueying, Cao Jie, Ma Jun, Liu Ye and others.

Today, Ma Jun and others are making trolleys.

The wooden cow and flowing horse are in charge of Huang Yueying and Cao Jie.

Buqi's clansmen once swore in Lujiang Shu County that they would marry Lu Yi's little girl step trainer when they grew up, and they have also grown slim in recent years.

On weekdays, the foot trainer also studies at the Lu family.

As soon as she was free, she came to Lu Yi to watch Huang Yueying and Cao Jie make various small objects.

The trainer has a special hand in playing billiards.

has swept the entire Lu family's invincible opponents.

Even Lu Yi is not her opponent.

At this moment, she was rolling up her sleeves, holding a file, and under Huang Yueying's instructions, she threw down sawdust from a wooden board.

Lu Yi looked at the busy figures of these people, with a smile on his face.

At this point, life is complete.

This crossing is already worth it.

If it was placed before the crossing, even if he worked hard to die, he would not have such a large family.

Moreover, all of the wives are big beauties.

When the women saw Lu Yi coming back, they greeted each other.

Lu Yi stopped next to Zhuge Ruoxue and asked with a smile, "Where did Feng'er go?" ”

The eldest son of Lu Yi and Zhuge Ruoxue was named Lu Feng.

Now, he is also two years old.

Zhuge Ruoxue smiled and said, "I was taken to play by the third brother." Today, the third brother doesn't seem to have to go to school, and he is very idle. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Ruoxue frowned slightly and said, "The third brother is very worried. ”

"The concubine went to ask Mr. Gao yesterday, and Mr. Gao said that the third brother's grades are not excellent, and he is very mediocre."

"What do you think he's going to do when he grows up?"

Mr. Gao refers to Gao Dai, a famous person in Jiangdong.

He was one of the first two celebrities to be included in the Lu family by Lu Yi.

Another famous man was Sheng Xian, who served as the county guard of Wu County during the reign of Emperor Ling, and was later killed by Sun Ce.

After Gao Dai joined the Lu family, he worked as a teacher in the Lu family, teaching the children of the Lu family and some of their families to read.

At this moment, Lu Yi heard Zhuge Ruoxue complain about her third brother Zhuge Jun like this, and Lu Yi couldn't help laughing.

This is really the three Zhuge Liang brothers who responded to the evaluation of the original history book: dragon, tiger, and dog.

This dragon refers to Zhuge Liang.

This tiger refers to Zhuge Jin.

This dog refers to Zhuge Festival.

To be precise, Zhuge Dan is not the brother of Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin.

But Zhuge Jun is not as good as Zhuge Day.

Zhuge Ruoxue saw that Lu Yi was not comforting herself, and she was still laughing there, and said angrily: "Husband, you are still laughing!" ”

Lu Yi said at this time: "Xue'er, you are also too worried. ”

"My eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law are all smart people and talents."

"The third brother-in-law is mediocre, isn't this normal?"

"How can everyone be talented?"

"Besides, what's wrong with being mediocre? It's good to be mediocre. ”

"In this world, there are still many mediocre people."

"Our family also has money, so it won't be a problem to support him."

"No matter how mediocre he is, he can live without food and clothing for a lifetime."

"As long as he's happy."

Zhuge Ruoxue muttered, "It's not good." ”

Lu Yi laughed.

At this moment, Zhuge Jun came back with Lu Feng in his arms.

The two sat on the swing, and Zhuge held Lu Feng and swung the swing.

Zhuge Ruoxue continued to embroider, glanced at Lu Yi, and stopped talking.

Lu Yi said: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Zhuge Ruoxue said: "Yesterday, Mr. Sun Shao came over. ”

Sun Shao, a native of Beihai, Qingzhou, followed Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, in his early years.

After Liu Miao was defeated by Sun Ce, Sun Shao became Sun Ce's confidant.

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Shao followed Lu Yi.

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Shao and Cheng Pu persuaded Mrs. Wu together, asking Mrs. Wu to give up the Sun family's position as the master of the house in Jiangdong and support Lu Yi as the master.

Mrs. Wu agreed for the first time, and asked Sun Quan to go to Lu Yi with the seal letter and push Lu Yi to the position of the lord of Jiangdong.

However, later, Mrs. Wu, driven by Sun Jing, Sun He, Sun Fu and others from the Sun family, repented and wanted to rebel, but was suppressed by Lu Yi.

In this rebellion, Sun Shao did not stand with Mrs. Wu again.

Therefore, although Sun Shao assisted Sun Ce and was Sun Ce's confidant, he also held important positions in Jiangdong like Zhang Hong.

Lu Yi said curiously: "What did he say?" ”

Zhuge Ruoxue snorted: "He said, Feng'er is already two years old, if you are sure to let him be the son of the world, then you should arrange a special gentleman for him to receive the best education." According to Mr. Sun Shao's statement, he should have recommended himself and was willing to do this. ”

Lu Yi's gaze fell on Lu Feng.

At this moment, he was sitting on Zhuge Jun's lap, looking very happy as the swing swung.

Zhuge Ruoxue saw that Lu Yi didn't agree immediately, and her face changed slightly.

In the past, the husband has always been very determined to make his eldest son the son!

Zhuge Ruoxue suddenly became a little nervous and said, "Husband? You, do you have other plans? ”

Only then did Lu Yi come back to his senses, looked at Zhuge Ruoxue and said, "I know what you're thinking, according to normal speaking, Feng'er must be the son of the world, and I will be able to speak well." ”

"You were the first to follow me, and you have been conscientious all these years, and you are a very good wife."

Zhuge Ruoxue's face turned pale.

These words, meaning, are they really repentant?

Zhuge Ruoxue lowered her head, and while trying to continue embroidering, she pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay." Husband, you have other thoughts, concubine, concubine is a woman, it is inconvenient to participate. ”

The other women listened to the conversation between Zhuge Ruoxue and Lu Yi, and they also looked at it one after another.

After all, this matter involves the question of the position of the son.

Seeing that everyone was curious, Lu Yi beckoned and said, "Come here, something happened today, I have to make it clear." ”

Only then did all the women gather and stand beside Lu Yi.

Lu Yi glanced at all his women and said: "From the beginning, I had only one thought, that is, the eldest son that Xue'er gave birth to for me, if it wasn't a fool, even if it was mediocre, I would let him be the son of the world." ”

"It was like this before, and it will be like this in the future."

All the women were a little disappointed in their hearts.

A glimmer of expectation that just rose, but I don't want to be ruthlessly broken.

Zhuge Ruoxue looked at Lu Yi blankly at this time.

Since this is the case, she doesn't understand why Lu Yi didn't agree just now.

Lu Yi stood up, walked past his women one by one, took their little hands and said, "I arrange it this way, there is only one purpose, that is, I hope you will not fight inwardly because of power." ”

"There is only one position for the son of the world, and they all have to fight for, and that is the situation of rivers of blood."

"You are all my women, and the children you give birth to are all my heirs, all my flesh and blood, and I don't want to see anyone die tragically because of this."

"Instead of giving you hope, it's better to die from the beginning."

Lu Yi finally looked at Zhuge Ruoxue.

Zhuge Ruoxue will answer.

Lu Yi raised his hand, signaled her not to speak yet, and said, "And today, something happened that made me have another idea." ”

"That is, I just got the information that Cao Cao has given up on the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is now empty."

"The Son of Heaven is still in Xudu."

"However, he simply does not have the ability to defend the Central Plains."

"Moreover, the Son of Heaven has done something extremely stupid—"

"He recruited soldiers from the counties and counties of the Central Plains to prevent Yuan Shao and me from Jiangdong."

"Yuan Shao's strength is extremely strong, and I united with Cao Cao before just to confront him."

"Now, Cao Cao has withdrawn from the Central Plains, and the Central Plains is empty, how can Yuan Shao let go of such an opportunity?"

"Yuan Shao's army is about to go south."

"Without Cao Cao guarding the Central Plains as a barrier, our Jiangdong will soon be attacked by Yuan Shao's army."

"Two years ago, we only started to recuperate, and I promised to give the people of Jiangdong three to five years to recuperate."

"The most important thing is that now the people in the states and counties of Jiangdong have indeed not recuperated well."

"Although everyone is not as miserable as before, and they are so easy to eat, they have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing."

"At this time, in the event of a large-scale war, our Jiangdong is in danger of overturning."

"Now the war has started in Xuzhou."

"At most, we can only start a war on the front line from Hefei to Shouchun."

"The two wars are already the limit of my Jiangdong."

"Under such extreme circumstances, it is impossible for us to recruit troops everywhere, so we can only use the Lujiang Army to fight."

"This is a battle related to the life and death of Jiangdong."

"Therefore, I must personally go to Hefei to supervise the battle."

"Otherwise, once the Lujiang Army is unable to resist, and the war spreads across the river and burns to all parts of Wu County, we will be finished."

And all the women became a little worried.

Cao Jie hurriedly said: "Where did my father go?" ”

Lu Yi said: "Your father took away all the soldiers in the Central Plains and went to Guanzhong, he should be preparing to conquer Liangzhou, then invade Hanzhong, and then go south to Yizhou." ”

Cao Jie bit his lip, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some guilt: "Husband, I'm sorry, my father will leave suddenly and Jiangdong-"

Lu Yi smiled: "Although I am very depressed, but this is human nature, why do you have to apologize?" Even if your father personally stood in front of me, I would only admire, and not blame. ”

"It's remarkable that he was able to hide from so many people under my account."

"But—"

Lu Yi's face sank, and he glanced at all the women and said, "This time is so dangerous, even I am not sure of victory." ”

"However, no matter what the price is, I will not let Yuan Shao's army cross the river."

"But there's always a chance to do it."

"If I cross, I can only die on the battlefield."

All the women looked at Lu Yi nervously.

Lu Yi made a quiet movement and said, "Listen to me first." ”

The women suppressed their worries and continued to listen to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi looked at Zhuge Ruoxue and said: "I mean, in case, I die on the battlefield, if I set up Feng'er as the son, Xue'er, do you think you can control the situation?" ”

"All states and counties in Jiangdong have each other's interests."

"A two-year-old child, once he sits in my position, Jiangdong will immediately fall apart."

"You guys, it won't end well."

"Although they seem to be surrendering to me one by one now, it is all because of the combination of interests, and I just gave all of them the benefits they wanted."

"But if I'm gone, these people will show their fangs one by one."

"You won't be their match."

"The ending of Sun Ce before is a precedent."

"So, on the way back just now, I thought about it."

"If I really die on the battlefield this time, the son of the world will no longer exist."

Glancing at all the women, Lu Yi said, "All of you, including the children, must no longer mention the position of the lord of Jiangdong. ”

"In the future, you will retire in the Lu family, and you will have no worries about food and clothing."

"Whoever wants to mention the position of the lord of Koto-"

Lu Yi said with a calm face: "Others can drive her and the child she gave birth to out of the Lu family, and no longer have anything to do with you." ”

All the women bowed their heads.

Lu Yi looked at Zhuge Ruoxue again and said, "As the master of the backyard, you have to take on it." ”

"Today I will write two letters."

"You take it."

"If I really die in battle, one of these letters will be the appointment of the next head of the Lu family."

"When the time comes, you ask Nangong Yan to go to Chaisang with the letter, call Brother Xun back, and let him take over the Lu family."

Zhuge Ruoxue almost cried.

Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, listen to me." ”

Zhuge Ruoxue held back her tears and nodded.

Lu Yi continued: "The second letter, you give it to your second brother Zhuge Liang. ”

"If I die in battle, you ask your second brother Zhuge Liang to immediately take this letter to Chen Deng, Gu Yong, Liu Ye, Yan Xiang, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu and Tai Shici."

"At that time, your second brother Zhuge Liang will take over the position of the lord of Jiangdong."

"Tomorrow morning, I will also inform these seven people, and let them push your second brother Zhuge Liang to take over when the time comes."
