Jiangnan.

Mingzhou.

Fenghua.

In a garden that has become a long and low-key but luxurious living room, you can tell that the two brothers are brothers. The middle-aged man is sitting in the main and second place.

The younger man said, "Brother, the situation is very bad now. If you don't think of a solution, the Lu family's family will collapse."

The older one was named Lu Tingguang, and he sighed softly when he heard this.

The Lu family in Fenghua was a large clan in Jiangnan. Their ancestors were one of the four surnames in Wuzhong. They were one of the Lu clans in Chinese history and lived in Wujun for generations.

In the early Han Dynasty, Lu Lie moved to Wu and developed into the Lu family in Wujun. Lu Jia, a doctor from the Han Dynasty, was a representative figure of the Lu family in Wujun.

By the Jin Dynasty, there were endless famous scholars, such as Lu Ji and Lu Yun brothers.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were six members of the Lu clan of Wujun who served as prime minister, and it was the largest of the four surnames in Wu.

The Lu family suffered a direct blow during the White Horse disaster. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, they began to migrate to various places.

This branch of Fenghua is also one of the branches that migrated to various places, but they stayed in Jiangnan after not walking far.

However, Jiangnan is far away from politics, and this branch of Lu family focuses on doing business. However, the aristocratic family is aristocratic family after all, and it is also first-class when it comes to doing business.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Lu family has been engaged in maritime trade. In a century, it has become one of the largest maritime merchants in the Song Dynasty.

Twenty years ago, when Oceanwide Group had not appeared, Lu was the number one in the maritime business. Later, Oceanwide Group appeared, and Lu was robbed of a lot of shares, but in addition to Oceanwide Group, it was still the first.

Although life was a little harder at that time, for those rich families, they were just making more money and less money.

But no one expected that in the later Song and Xia War, the Song Dynasty was driven to Jiangnan. Not only did the north fall, but the maritime business in the south was blocked. This was the heaviest blow to these maritime merchant families.

Lu Tingguang shook his head and said, "This is also impossible. The Song Dynasty is now in a harsh time, let alone at sea.

Everyone on land was afraid of Xia like a tiger, but no wonder that Xixia beat the Khitan to the point of running away, let alone the Song Dynasty...

Alas, it’s useless to say more about this. I’ll ask you to go to Jinghu North Road to develop the market. What’s the effect?”

Lu Tingguang's younger brother is Lu Tingzong.

Lu Tingzong shook his head: "The situation is not much better than ours. I went to visit the Chamber of Commerce on Jinghu North Road. The merchants inside were also frowning. Now everyone can't sell anything they produce. There are more and more merchants going bankrupt, and everyone doesn't know what's going on..."

Lu Tingguang sneered: "What's going on? What's going on? The way to go to sea has been blocked. Things that could be exported in the past can't be exported anymore. These things can only be sold on the road.

But the market is so big, how can we withstand the impact of so many goods? According to economic theory, this is called overproduction!

If things cannot be sold, no one will buy the raw materials, farmers and workers will have no income, and they will not be able to buy things without income. This is a vicious cycle!”

Lu Tingzong said worriedly: "If this is the case, then this situation will not be cured for a while. What should we do with the Lu family?

Our Lu family has always been dominated by maritime business. The land business was originally average. Now the sea business has been wiped out and the land business is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although our Lu family can still support it now, we are only a few thousand people. If we can’t recover for a while, we will have to lose all our money!

Unless the Song Dynasty can defeat Xixia, fight back to the north, or open up the sea route, we can breathe a sigh of relief."

Lu Tingguang sneered again: "This is purely a dream in the daytime. As for the urinary nature of our court, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been lost for two hundred years, and our Song Dynasty has not been able to get it back. Now even Bianjing has been taken away by Xixia.

Although I have guarded the Huai River now, everyone knows that it is just that they don’t want to fight for the time being. If they want to fight, can the Yangtze River stop it?

Don’t forget that people can even block the sea, just a big river, so how can they stop them?"

Lu Tingzong's eyes froze: "Brother thinks when will a war happen again between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia?"

Lu Tingguang looked at his younger brother in surprise: "What are you asking about this?"

Lu Tingzong whispered: "Brother, this time I went to Jinghu North Road, I met Yang Shanben on the way. Do you remember Yang Shanben?"

"Yang Qianben... which one is from Yang Qing?"

Lu Tingzong slapped his thigh: "That's right, it's him!"

Lu Tingguang thoughtfully: "Tell me."

Lu Tingzong looked mysterious: "Brother, this Yang Shanben is now from there. He is mainly engaged in the South China Sea and follows Zhou Yunrang of Nanyang Group. This time he comes here mainly to find cooperation."

Lu Tingguang looked at his younger brother, nodded and said, "Continue talking."

"According to Yang Shanben, Nanyang Group is preparing to go to Jiaozhi to buy land and grow grain. Now this project has raised more than 30 million yuan in Bianjing. Now it is preparing to come to the Song Dynasty to raise funds..."

Before Lu Tingzong could finish his words, Lu Tingguang laughed: "This person is a liar."

Lu Tingzong said anxiously: "Brother, why are you so arbitrary? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Lu Tingguang smiled and said, "I'm not smart when I go to Jiaozhi to buy land and grow food. I'm kicked in the head by a donkey. This little red guy is just a liar.

Where is Jiaozhi? Can you sell the land to him? More than 30 million yuan is not enough. How much land should you buy? Do you have to buy the entire Jiaozhi? There is something wrong with it!"

Lu Tingzong stomped his feet, and he was almost angry.

Seeing that his younger brother was about to explode, Lu Tingguang quickly restrained his mockery: "Oh, don't be angry, you say you."

Lu Tingzong suppressed his anger and said, "This matter should be credible. As for how to win the trust, there will be news next. I will tell you about the news I received with my brother first.

According to Yang Shanben, the ones involved in this project include Nanyang Group, Daxia Central Bank, Daxia Agricultural Bank, Daxia Navy, and... Daxia Emperor Ouyang Bian!"

Lu Tingguang widened his eyes: "Ouyang Bian also participated?"

Lu Tingzong nodded: "Well, this is not the key, the key is that the Navy has participated!"

Lu Tingguang was shocked: "The Navy participated... In other words, the so-called buying is actually a war at that time?"

Lu Tingzong nodded with a smile.

Lu Tingguang thought for a while and said, "This is credible. However, if you fight for the war just for the land, why not fight the Song Dynasty and why fight the wild land?"

Lu Tingzong said: "This is only the first phase of the project, and the second phase of the project is Dongchuan County of Dali Country."

"Dongcheon County? Copper Mine?"
