"Yo, you also brought souvenirs for others?" Prince Gong said in amazement.

Lu Desheng said reservedly, "It's not strange to have many people, after all, you will have to trouble people for a while." "I borrowed from someone last time, but this time, I have to bring some gifts.

Hearing that Prince Gong and Pingzhou Thorn Shi Lu Desheng had arrived in the workshop, Deng Fangyi, the Thorn Shi of Youzhou, received the two with a puzzled face, and the main bookkeeper Duan Yi accompanied him.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Lu Desheng signaled Prince Gong to come up, "Prince Gong, didn't you say that you have something to say to Lord Deng?" ”

Prince Gong, who was driven to the shelves, glared at Lu Desheng.

"What's the matter? Prince Gong might as well speak out. "Deng Fangyi is quite curious.

Duan Wei was vigilant in his heart, he went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the two of them came to the door, I was afraid that it would be nothing good.

Prince Gong cleared his throat and said, "That's the ......"

Borrowing iron ore? How did the two of them come up with such an outrageous thing? Deng Fangyi had an expression of doubt that he had heard something.

And Duan Wei was also very surprised, the imperial court asked Lu Desheng to pay more grain taxes, and he would agree?

"Lord Deng, we can't help Pingzhou, we have a bumper harvest in Pingzhou, and there are not enough farm tools, we can't delay the emperor's affairs, right? You're accommodating. ”

As a neighbor, Deng Fangyi has heard about the grain harvest in Pingzhou. However, "this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Prince Gong was also embarrassed.

Lu Desheng on the side took over directly, "Eh, Lord Deng's words are wrong. The law is nothing more than human feelings, rules, it is not dead, it can also be changed. ”

"You don't use this iron ore, but you also put it in the storehouse for ashes. We in Pingzhou just borrowed it, and it wasn't that we didn't pay it back. As soon as Prince Gong returns to Chang'an, he will be able to return you as soon as he asks the emperor for instructions. ”

"Lord Deng, be accommodating. Otherwise, our autumn harvest in Pingzhou is likely to be delayed. ”

Deng Fangyi is inexplicable, what does it matter to me that you have delayed yours?

Prince Gong: "The emperor is very concerned about the autumn harvest in Pingzhou. If it's convenient, please let Lord Deng be accommodating. ”

Lu Desheng finally agreed to raise taxes, and Prince Gong was very worried that if he couldn't borrow iron ore, this guy would just pick on it. With Lu Desheng's willfulness, it is really possible.

Deng Fangyi pondered for a moment, he could not care about Lu Desheng, but he couldn't help but weigh Prince Gong's words. In case because of his refusal, after Prince Gong returns to Chang'an, he gives him some eye medicine in front of the emperor, it will be troublesome. The reasons for Shi Tao's downfall, he already knows a little bit about it.

"Okay, we can't delay the autumn harvest in Pingzhou." Deng Fangyi spat out.

"Lord Deng, you are so good, thank you very much for your support of Pingzhou."

"Well said."

"Master Duan, go to the warehouse and give that-" Two thousand catties of iron ore to Lord Lu.

Lu Desheng immediately looked at Duan Yu, the main bookkeeper of Youzhou on the side.

Before Deng Fangyi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Duan Wei, "My lord, you are going to hand over the thousand catties of iron ore in the warehouse to Lord Lu, right?" Xia Guan knew. ”

As he spoke, Duan Yu glanced at his own adult vaguely.

"Oh, yes, that's what I mean."

Lu Desheng's eyes narrowed slightly. He was skeptical of the number, but he couldn't help it if he didn't tell the truth. Forget it, what you can do is a little bit, and you can't dislike it.

Prince Gong thought that after Deng Fangyi agreed to lend the iron ore, he would have nothing to do, and he could leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, Lu Desheng pulled him around, for example, to ask how the ministers of Chang'an City were doing since he was released? Did you miss him?

In short, just don't let go. Lu Desheng is bound to carry out the fox and fake tiger to the end.

waited for the people he brought to get the iron ore smoothly before he waved goodbye to Prince Gong, "Prince Gong, it's not too early, isn't it time for you to leave?" ”

Prince Gong, who was only halfway through his words: ......

Before boarding the car, Prince Gong shouted at Lu Desheng, "Don't forget what you promised!" ”

"Don't worry, you can't forget it." Lu Desheng promised that after the autumn harvest, he would arrange for people to transport grain to Chang'an as soon as possible.

Prince Gong left with peace of mind.

In the Assassin's Mansion, only Deng Fangyi and Duan Wei were left.

"The subordinates are still the original opinion, this Lu Desheng has a big plan, and the adults should take precautions." Duan Yu's tone was quiet.

Deng Fangyi was helpless, he understood what Duan Wei meant, and he also listened to it, but this time it was endorsed by Prince Qin Chagong of the imperial court, could he refuse strongly?

"Old Duan, is it possible that we are thinking too much. If Lu Desheng really had that mind, how could he let the imperial court take it? ”

Duan Wei frowned, this was also something he couldn't figure out.

Pingzhou

successfully got back a thousand catties of iron ore, but Lu Desheng was not very happy.

When he returned, it happened to be the time when he was on duty, and Lu Songli and Qin Sheng were there.

Seeing that his face was not good, Lu Songli couldn't help but be concerned.

Lu Desheng said about the situation, "I suspect that there are more than 1,000 catties of iron ore in Youzhou Thorn Mansion. He felt very sorry that he couldn't do his job, and he naturally didn't want to see Duan Wei who did bad things.

Hearing the name of Duan Wei, the main book of Youzhou, Lu Songli and Qin Sheng glanced at each other.

Lu Desheng sensed that something was wrong, "What's wrong?" What's going on here? ”

Qin Sheng: "Hehe, father-in-law, it's actually nothing. ”

Lu Songli: "It's just that when we were exiled, we made some money by reselling medicinal herbs on the road, and then when we passed through Youzhou, his nephew Duan Kaishen wanted to rob us, and we were hacked and blackened." ”

Lu Desheng: ......

Yang's iron shop

Bang bang bang –

There was a knock on the door of the blacksmith Yang, and the old blacksmith Yang shouted outside the door, "Stinky boy, what time is it?" Don't get up to work yet? ”

"The iron ore is gone!"

Xiao Yang's blacksmith pulled the thin quilt over his head and refused to get up.

It's autumn, and the morning is cool, perfect for sleeping.

At the same time, his heart was broken, his father was really, he finally rested for two days, and he shouted vigorously, but he couldn't see him have a moment of leisure.

"The government just sent three hundred catties of iron ore, you hurry up!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yang blacksmith first made a carp to fight hard, and then when his brain went through the second time, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, three hundred catties! Now I have to fight, and my arms are going to be swollen!

"Get up for me!"

Xiao Yang blacksmith got up to wash, and his father thought he was moving slowly.

"You just want to be lazy, don't you know if the Xianbei people are coming? Do you want your dad to die? ”

Blacksmith Xiao Yang replied, "Dad, you are serious." If you can't beat it, let's run if it's a big deal. "It's not like I haven't run.

Old Yang blacksmith gave him a blank look, "You work harder, we don't have to run." "If a person leaves his homeland, who wants to leave his homeland unless he has to?

"If it's really time to run, your future daughter-in-law will be gone." Old Yang blacksmith set a family business for him at the beginning of the year, and waited for the end of the year to marry someone.

Xiao Yang blacksmith was silent and went to see the iron ore, "Why are there so many?" ”

"I heard that Lord Lu got a total of 1,000 catties of iron ore back, and the other 700 catties were distributed to the other three counties in Pingzhou." Old Yang Blacksmith said faintly.

Xiao Yang blacksmith was silent, and he hurriedly called the apprentices to work together. Thank you Lord Lu for being promoted, otherwise, if this thousand catties of iron ore are distributed to him, he will die.
