Chapter 764 The old man is here(1/2)
Although this is just a small county town in Lujiang County, Yangzhou, the people living inside are those who have to shake the whole of Yangzhou.
There are two big characters written on the door of a mansion. In the garden, a middle-aged man with sword-browed eyebrows is drinking tea and enjoying flowers and fishing.
This man is not someone else but our father-in-law. Lu Bu is a hero, Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf, Lu Bu is a god of war, Lu Bu is a bloodthirsty and killing. These are all the comments of Lu Bu, but who has ever known that this man named Lu Bu also likes to drink tea and enjoy flowers. What he likes more is sitting by the pond for an afternoon. Maybe he can't catch a few fish in the basket, but he can go with a smile.
He is Lu Bu, a man who is a fantasy. He seems to have good luck today. He seems to have two or three small fish in his fishing basket.
"General!" Just as Lu Bu was about to continue fishing and fishing for the evening dinner, a guard behind him walked in and knelt down at Lu Bu and said.
"Yeah?" Lu Bu frowned, because since his precious son-in-law took charge of Yangzhou and Yangzhou gradually increased, Lu Bu has not managed government affairs much. One of the reasons Lu Bu thinks that Liu Mang can stand alone, and another reason is that Lu Bu is avoiding suspicion.
That's right, it's just avoiding suspicion. There can't be two tigers in one mountain. If there is one, it will inevitably be one male and one female. If not, it will be one dead and one injured.
In the past, it was mainly Lu Bu, because Liu Mang had just arrived and didn't know how to soothe people's hearts and how to take charge of the troops to fight the world.
But slowly Liu Mang became bigger and bigger. He began to have his own power. Starting from the urban management army, Liu Mang slowly recaptured Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others, and slowly, literary talents like Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su gathered beside him.
Liu Mang's wings gradually became hard. After Shouchun was built, Gao Shun and others wanted to ask Lu Bu to go to Shouchun to preside over the major events, but Lu Bu refused. Not only did he not go to Shouchun, but he also taught Chen Gong or Gao Shun and others all the affairs of Lujiang. There were only things that could not be solved, such as when he went to Yuzhou, the position of commander, and at other times, Lu Bu was more like a rich man and retired after success.
So now Yangzhou is not so much Yangzhou of Lu Bu's army, but rather that he has already changed his master and turned into Yangzhou of Liu Mang's army.
Whether it was Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Liu Biao from Jingzhou, they began to fear him, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, but became Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou.
It is precisely this leisurely life that Lu Bu was able to calm down and fish. After finding the fun that he could not find in the past, fishing naturally requires quietness. Lu Bu also said that when he fished, no one was allowed to disturb him.
And now this personal guard dared to come and interrupt him, something must have happened to Lu Bu.
"General, Military Advisor Chen Gong asked for a visit!" The guard said kneeling at Lu Bu.
"The public platform is here?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment. Chen Gong was usually in the prefect's mansion. Lujiang taught Chen Gong all the matters of all sizes. It can be said that Lu Bu basically did not move at all, and it was done for Chen Gong.
"Go to the main hall and let the office come in!" Lu Bu said to his personal guard.
"Yes!" Soon Lu Bu changed his clothes and arrived in the main hall. Chen Gong had been waiting for a long time.
"Let the office wait for a long time!" Lu Bu apologized slightly to Chen Gong over there.
"Where is Fengxian?" Chen Gong also said with a smile. He and Lu Bu had not seen each other for many days. They were actually monarchs and ministers before, but now their identities seem to have changed a lot. Are they bosses and subordinates? Or two good friends? The monarchs and ministers have passed.
Because Chen Gong's current master is already the King of Shu, and he is even higher than his official position than Lu Bu. This is the position left by Liu Mang for Chen Gong, but Lu Bu has the title of a cabinet. He is also the father-in-law of the King of Shu Liu Mang, so Chen Gong dared not act rashly.
"At that time, I was waiting in the hall to see Fengxian!" Chen Gong blinked and smiled at Lu Bu over there.
"Haha, okay, Chen Gongtai, you are scolding me for delaying seeing you, right?" Lu Bu said angrily. Now the two of them have no bonds between the king and the ministers, and they speak more casually. When Chen Gong wanted to see Lu Bu, Lu Bu disappeared. Why? Because Chen Gongtai's loyal words were unpleasant. Lu Bu was a man who was young and frivolous.
He even has the title of the world's first military general. In addition, the eighteen princes under Hulao Pass are difficult to advance. It can be said that he has achieved great glory at a young age. It is full of halos on his head, and Chen Gongtai is just a person who pours cold water.
Lu Bu is the best in the world in the world. He said directly that a reckless man's courage can only be fought against a thousand people, but not ten thousand people.
Lu Bu said that he was fighting generals under Hulao Pass. He said again, "With the elite of Xiliang, he did not want to defeat the main force of the enemy, but thought that fighting generals was not a good plan."
Lu Bu came out on his own, and Chen Gongtai started again. General, you are enemies from east, west, south and north, so it is best for the general to be careful.
Who likes to see such a cold water pouring on him?
"Okay, I know that you, Chen Gongtai, are a busy man. The whole country of Lujiang still needs your Chen Gongtai's guidance. Tell me, what's wrong with me?" Lu Bu asked Chen Gong over there with a smile.
Chen Gong nodded, "It's true that there is something important to see Fengxian! Please take a look!" As he said that, Chen Gong took out a stack of paper from his arms. The paper was very good, and it felt as smooth as a woman's skin, and the printing on it was also very exquisite.
"Is this what you made of Jiaozi?" Lu Bu was not a person who knew nothing. He looked at the papers Chen Gongtai gave him, which contained military flags and marks of the Hall of Heroes. These were Jiaozi, which Yangzhou wanted to convert copper coins into paper money.
"Fengxian, it's not us, but him!" Chen Gong shook his head and said with a wry smile. They were old and many things could not keep up with Liu Mang's rhythm.
In Chen Gong's eyes, the boy named Liu Hanyang is still the one who has died and will kneel over there and blame himself for several days.
"Yes. It's him!" Lu Bu nodded, the era of Lu Bu belonging to him has passed, and the current Lu Bu is just a sign in the Yangzhou army, that is, we have the God of War behind us.
Lu Bu spread out these kids, and the military flags printed on them were amazing.
"This is from the camp, this Bingzhou wolf cavalry, this city management army, and this. This is the black chess camp!" Lu Bu recognized them one by one. Can he not recognize them? A few days ago, the wolf cavalry, whether it is the camp, or the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, came to find him. Even Gao Shun, the elm-block, ran over and said to him, he was bigger than the city management army.
Because the military flag of the camp was printed on Jiaozi with a hundred coins, but the city management army had a thousand coins, so Gao Shun was dissatisfied.
But Lu Bu couldn't change these things, so he could only let them be natural.
Liu Mang is not favoring one or the other. Jiaozi will naturally change in the future, because no one can guarantee that no one will catch up with your imitation. Some techniques will sooner or later be conquered. Just like modern people, if you make fake ancient copper coins, you will naturally make one accurate one, even more exquisite than ancient copper coins.
This is the power of technology.
Liu Mang meant that any unit contributed greatly to Yangzhou, and then printed one, so that all the elite troops in the Yangzhou army could be mobilized.
"That's all?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong over there with a smile. If it were Jiaozi alone, Chen Gong would not be like this.
"Of course not, Fengxian, these are just under ten thousand yuan. Look at this again!" Chen Gong handed over another Jiaozi for Lu Bu to show.
"Huh?" When I saw this Jiaozi, Lu Bu's eyes widened. It was not because of the value on it. This was a Jiaozi of 100 gold. Although the Baijin was valuable, it was not attracted by Lu Bu. What really surprised Lu Bu's eyes was that the things printed on this banknote.
He is no longer the military flags of each army, but has become avatars of a character. The avatar of this character is neither someone else nor our Lu Bu Lu Fengxian.
"This, this?" Lu Bu didn't know what to say, and finally said, "Isn't this nonsense?"
"Why is this messing around?" Just as Lu Bu was struggling and Chen Gong was laughing, a wonderful voice sounded.
Chen Gong turned his head and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman. He immediately stood up and saluted.
"There is no need to be too polite to the public office. You and my family have been in love for many years, just treat it as a relative and friend!" said the middle-aged beautiful woman to Chen Gong over there.
"Yes, madam!" Chen Gong nodded. This person was Mrs. Yan, the wife of Lu Bu.
Mrs. Yan walked to Lu Bu and sat down.
"Why are you here?" Lu Bu frowned and said, "This is the conference hall, how can this woman come in?"
"Aren't you cultivating your character? This office is not someone else, so why can't I come in!" Mrs. Yan turned her eyes to Lu Bu over there. Mrs. Yan said the truth. She was worried about Lu Bu before, and everything was mainly about Lu Bu, with the last but not the next one.
Now the whole situation became clear, and Lu Bu no longer had to go into battle to kill the enemy. In Yangzhou, the son-in-law could enjoy peace in their family, so slowly the head of the backyard became Mrs. Yan.
The couple also had the same mood as before, and they became casual in their speech.
"Madam is right! I came here to talk about private matters in this version! This is the Lufu, so Madam will go naturally!" Chen Gong also spoke from the side.
"Didn't you always mutter before? Don't Mang'er come to see you, don't take you seriously? Now I see you! Mang'er still has you in her heart, be happy!" Mrs. Yan said to Lu Bu next to her.
"Hmph, isn't it just a picture?" Lu Bu said a little disdainful.
"Draw a picture, hey, I don't like to hear what you say. What does it mean to draw a picture? Do you know what this is called? Jiaozi, this is the denomination of a hundred gold coins. The whole Yangzhou is using this thing!" Mrs. Yan said to Lu Bu.
Mrs. Yan said that with a look of pride, because only big merchants or the nobles could have this hundred gold coins.
It is a great honor for her husband to be given a hundred gold coins. When she went out, she pointed to the hundred gold coins. Did she see it? That was my husband. So Mrs. Lu’s face in the gentry circle in Lujiang is a long life. She is naturally happy. Even Mrs. Yan was thinking about whether her precious son-in-law could put herself on.
But just think about it. Feminism has not yet begun to become popular in this era. There are only two possibilities for a woman who can have prestige at home. The first is that the woman’s family is very strong, such as princesses, and the other is that it is really a manifestation of a man’s love for his wife.
Otherwise, according to the words of our big-eared thief, brothers are like brothers and feet, and women are like clothes.
Do you care more about a piece of clothing? If it is torn, it will be lost, and if it is dirty, it may be lost. It is precisely because Lu Bu loves his wife that he will be obedient to Mrs. Yan.
"The whole of Yangzhou is using this thing?" Lu Bu frowned and said, "Where are those golds?"
"The gold has been taken into the treasury by Your Highness!" Chen Gong said to Lu Bu.
"What if someone doesn't want to use this Jiaozi?" Lu Bu asked in confusion.
"I don't want to use Jiaozi? There is basically no in Yangzhou, because it is difficult to do business without Jiaozi!" Chen Gong said to Lu Bu over there. If you want to do business in Yangzhou now, if you want to open a store, you need to use Jiaozi as collateral. I won't collect the gold you give, how can you get Jiaozi? Please go to the gold store in Yangzhou to exchange it.
And those dealers are leaving. Yes, you take Jiaozi to the gold store to exchange. If you confirm that you are dealers, then I will exchange it for you, and it is not bad at all.
It is precisely because of this kind of pleasure that many businessmen took Jiaozi to do business directly. Anyway, Jiaozi can go to any gold store in Yangzhou to exchange for gold.
"Such a small piece of paper is worth a hundred gold?" Lu Bu couldn't help but look at his own avatar on it. He looked at it and looked at it, but he really looked a bit like it. His sword eyebrows were quite handsome.
"Whatever you look at, what's good about it, it's a big guy! Do you think you were the young man back then!" Mrs. Yan said as she hit her husband on the side.
"I'm just looking at it!" Lu Bu also blushed a little. "That boy is a little conscientious!" Lu Bu was quite satisfied. Isn't life just to make a name for himself?
Lu Bu did this. With this kind of Jiaozi's implementation, as long as Yangzhou does not praise it, Jiaozi will definitely be circulated, and Lu Bu will also rise.
The largest gold ticket in Yangzhou is now issued by Lu Bu’s avatar with a hundred gold coins. He is even named Jin Lu Bu among the people.
"Hey, this son-in-law is good at everything, but why is Ling'er's belly still not moving at all!" Mrs. Yan began to feel melancholy again.
Because Miss Lu has not given birth to any offspring for Liu Mang yet, fortunately, the other concubines there did not make any noise. A barbarian concubine was pregnant, and that was okay. A child from a concubine could not inherit Liu Mang's great cause. Even if Liu Mang was willing to do so, his subordinates would not, because this involved a matter of bloodline.
Those great scholars, especially the old stubborn people who are mainly Qiao Xuan, will never allow a person with foreign blood to inherit this throne.
"This only means that your daughter is not good!" Lu Bu was also a little angry at this question.
"Hmph, my daughter is not your daughter, I am not your daughter anymore. Is there anyone who says that about your daughter?" Mrs. Yan also said to her husband in anger.
Chen Gong was a little embarrassed by the side because it had already involved private matters, so Chen Gong hurriedly accused him of leaving the Lufu.
"It's not a solution to continue like this. Someone will write me!" Lu Bu suddenly thought of it ingeniously.
"What do you want to write and ink?" Mrs. Yan asked Lu Bu in confusion.
"Write a letter!" Lu Bu said with his eyes blank: "I want to issue a military order to that kid. I must hold my grandson within a year!" Lu Bu seemed to have made up his mind.
"I'll get you!" Mrs. Yan snatched the pen and ink from Lu Bu's hand.
Can you still issue a military order for giving birth? Should you make another military order so that you can't give birth to a son and drag it out to chop it out?
"Then do you think this is done?" Lu Bu also found it a bit ridiculous, but there was no other way.
"I heard that Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji and several miraculous doctors were all in Shouchun!" Mrs. Yan said to Lu Bu.
