"Semicolon? Am I going to open a grocery store in my new home?" Tan Shitou said first. He had been hanging out with Lu Xu for the longest time and could follow Lu Xu's ideas the fastest. He immediately raised a new question: "But what should I sell? Brother Tiger said there is a shortage of everything over there..."
Lu Xu: "You rent animals!"
Tan Shitou blinked, "Huh?"
Lu Xu: "You are definitely not the only one who has moved there. In the spring, animal power is needed to open up wasteland everywhere. Some people have animals and some don't. When the time comes, you can rent out the extra ones. If others have money, you can collect money. If they don't have money, you can Just exchange things and slowly accumulate more things, then you can sell goods.”
Tan Shitou's eyes lit up: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"
The two of them laughed, and Lu Xu continued to come up with ideas: "It doesn't matter if you have nothing to sell. There are many barbarians over there. If the price is right, you can collect cattle and sheep for me. If they are easy to raise, you can raise them. If they are not, you can kill them." Chengrou butcher shop. If there’s anything else we don’t have over there, help me keep an eye on it. When I gather the manpower, I’ll go over and find you!”
Tan Shitou nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"
Lu Xu lowered his voice and muttered to Tan Shitou mysteriously, "There is a secret recipe that I have never told anyone. If there is butter, my Malatang can be even better and more delicious!"
Tan Shitou's eyes were bright.
“The beef and mutton cooked in the pot are also very delicious!”
Tan Shitou's eyes brightened, "Really?"
Lu Xu: "Really! There are treasures everywhere over there, and Brother Hu has hundreds of households. You were not afraid of being bullied in the past and seized business opportunities!"
They both painted a pie for themselves, enjoying the painting as if no one else was watching. However, Qiu Hu and Lu Qing looked at each other silently, and were shocked by Lu Xu's casual words, "I will come over to find you when I gather the people."
He said it too confidently, as if the trip would be completed soon. It seemed that the difficult journey before them was just a short journey, and when they reached the destination, the land would be filled with gold.
Unknowingly, even the people sitting nearby were attracted, and the people who were packing things outside the hospital became silent. Listening to Lu Xu's yearning without suppressing his voice, the original uneasiness and fear were slowly dissolved in his high-spirited voice. , many people silently began to think about what skills they had to make a living...
Lu Xu asked: "Brother Hu, are there only barbarians over there?"
Qiu Hu: "Yeah."
Lu Xu: "Then you will be neighbors with barbarians."
Qiu Hu nodded.
Yonggu County is in the south, their camps and farming areas are in the middle, and the more desolate areas in the north are the barbarian pastoral areas.
The mountain people are fierce and fearless, but when they heard that their neighbors were barbarians, they felt timid in their hearts——
They were not afraid of fighting, nor were they afraid of fighting, but they could not help but be afraid of bringing their families there and being neighbors with those legendary cannibal barbarians. If the barbarians come, what will happen to their children and what will happen to the elderly at home?
A layer of dark clouds enveloped the area. Unexpectedly, Lu Xu suddenly asked: "Then what do they lack?"
Qiu Hu was startled.
What's missing?
Lu Xu said: "I heard that they can't plow the fields and grow food, so what do they eat? Don't they eat rice and wheat?"
Qiu Hu was really confused.
He can fight, he can kill barbarians, but what do barbarians eat... well...
Lu Qing had to answer this: "They eat meat, drink milk, and also eat noodles, but they all robbed food from Daqi."
Everyone was aroused to hate the country and the family again.
Lu Xu said, "They are now under the control of Daqi. They are the people of Daqi. They can no longer rob. If you want to eat, you have to trade with us or buy from us."
Everyone couldn't keep up with his train of thought, "Want to do business with Barbarian?"
Lu Xu: "Why don't you do it! We won the battle and they lost. We are the ones who are right and confident. If they are afraid, they should be afraid of us."
Qiu Hu and the others who had returned from the army nodded fiercely and shared the same hatred.
Lu Xu continued: "I won't say it again. Since we are going to be neighbors in the future, if they dare to cause trouble, beat them up! If they also just want to live a good life, then they join us. We are all Daqi people, so harmony brings wealth. . We still need to look forward to the future, exchange what we have and what we don’t have, each makes a living, and there is no war. We are all ordinary people, and people just live their lives."
No one said a word, only Tan Shitou nodded in agreement.
Lu Xu didn't say much more, letting others slowly digest it. The main core understanding of the idea was enough.
He asked Lu Qing again what the barbarians lacked. After asking, it seemed that they mainly lacked two things - this and that. Their life was much more miserable than in Daqi.
Lu Xu thought to himself, if this is the case, why not just give it a try and embrace the Daqi family?
What can you accomplish if you always want to rob? A spring will bounce back if it is compressed hard, let alone a human being.
Taking a long-term view, peaceful development is the last word.
Those who returned from the army were somewhat resistant to Lu Xu's proposal, but the people in the Guanyang Alliance basically trusted him unconditionally.
When Tan Shitou's career was booming, he felt that he needed to shine and make a difference, so he suddenly wanted to leave. Although he was not reluctant at all, he felt somewhat empty.
He was at a loss as to what he should do and what he could do in a completely unfamiliar place.
Lu Xu arrived in time and came up with some ideas. No matter how feasible it was, Tan Shitou suddenly had hope and goals again.
He walked briskly and discussed with Lu Xu what things to bring.
Lu Xu suggested that he buy while walking, buy the car first, then the goods, and replenish the goods before crossing Qianjiao Mountain.
It doesn’t matter if you spend more money, but the important thing is not to add too much baggage.
As for the goods to buy, all he could think of were salt, tea, cloth, needlework and other daily necessities.
He collected all the money he had and gave it to Tan Shitou. He also went to the restaurant in advance to ask for his 3% bonus from the boss. From the time the documents were signed to the end of the year, it didn't take long in total. That little bonus was better than nothing. The restaurant owner heard that he wanted to raise money for Tan Shitou. After thinking about it, he advanced fifty taels to him in order to make good friends with Lu Xu.
Lu Xuquan gave Tan Shitou.
"Hide the money well and let Brother Hu hold it for you on the way."
Tan Shitou held the money in his arms and his heart was burning.
Lu Xu: "Don't be anxious at the beginning. It doesn't matter if you lose. You and Shan Bao will discuss everything. When the spring plowing is over, or after summer at the latest, I will organize people to find you."
Tan Shitou: "Do you really want to go?"
Lu Xu: "Well! If you hadn't left in such a hurry this time, I would have wanted to follow you this time."
The sheep that he misses so much!
Qiu Hu and his party were responding to the imperial decree, so they must have had a smooth journey. There were more than 400 of them, and dozens of them were from the army. There must not be any unimaginable bandits and bandits on the road to rob them. If they follow Qiu Hu, how many people will they have? Safe!
It's just that he really can't leave now.
As soon as Qiu Hu and the others left, there were many more staff vacancies in Guanyang, and he had to think about how to fill them.
It is easy to recruit people, but it is difficult to find people you can trust.
Lu Xu said he was relaxed, but in fact he was also worried.
Whatever ideas he had in the past, no matter whether they could be realized or not, there would always be people to help him share the burden. Once Tan Shitou and the others left, he would have to bear the responsibility of anything else in the future.
Lu Xu suppressed his anxiety and went to the drug store with Tan Shitou again.
The drug store has not yet opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, but the drug store is not closed all year round. As long as the shopkeeper is around, it will be open whenever possible, so that no one is in a hurry to grab medicine.
What Lu Xu wanted this time was medicine for treating colds and ailments. He didn't know if the village's home remedies were easy to use, so he had to prepare as much as he could, so he should be prepared.
After helping them load the carts, Lu Xu also donated the three carts they brought to Qiu Hu.
After counting the things to bring, arranging who is responsible for each car, and whose luggage is in which car. Everyone has a head and three heads. Finally, it is bundled and packed. It is almost dark.
Before Lu Xu went out, he told his family that he might not go back at night, and he didn't crowd Qiu Hu's side. People were already setting up tents in the yard when they couldn't sleep. How could the six of them fit in?
While it was still dark, Lu Xu took his second uncle and the others to stay at an inn. He gave all the money to Tan Shitou, so he shamelessly stayed with the shopkeeper.
There were not many guests during the Chinese New Year, so the shopkeeper agreed to let them stay without saying a word.
Years ago, many outsiders came to Guanyang to learn from Lu Xu, but many of them lived here. He saw that they would be indispensable after the New Year, so there was no reason to chase the God of Wealth out, so he asked Lu Xu enthusiastically when he would come back. Open.
Lu Xu said: "When the ice melts again and the ship can be opened, we will open it."
Although he said this, he didn't know if he could still be busy at the snack shop like he did before when he came back in spring.
Lu Xu was very melancholy. Yan Junqi was away and there was no one to discuss it with. After dinner, he sighed in the inn.
They didn't have any money and were too embarrassed to live in a room that was too good. They lived in a bunk bed for six people, which just happened to sleep six of their uncles and nephews. Lu Xu sighed here, and the others didn't know how to persuade him.
Fourth uncle asked: "Can't bear to part with you?"
Lu Xu: "No."
After Yan Junqi enlightened him, he was actually no longer so awkward.
His fourth uncle laughed at him, "If you can't bear it, won't you still cry when the young scholar of the Yan family passes the exam and becomes an official?"
Lu Xuzheng was thinking about what to do in the future. He nodded randomly and took a moment to react.
? ? ?
Jun Qi?
Jun Qi leave?
He froze again.
yes……
If Jun Qi is admitted as a Juren or a Jinshi, he will also leave...
Lu Xu suddenly felt even more melancholy.
Lu Xuan was speechless, his father would not open any pot, Hanlu would just follow him!
The third uncle kicked the fourth uncle and said, "Wash up and go to bed! You've been talking too much since I was little!"
Fourth uncle, hey hey.
Lu Qing sat next to Lu Xu and changed the topic, "Do you want to pass the caravan to the north?"
As soon as he said this, the whole family pricked up their ears.
Lu Xu: "I originally wanted to buy a sheep..."
Although originally I just wanted to buy sheep.
He is also quite lazy, and he doesn't want to let go of his comfortable life and go all the way to do business. That was Lu Xuan's dream, not his.
However, if the trade route can be passed through, many people can make money, Qiu Hu and the others can have an easier life there, and he can see Qiu Hu and Shitou from time to time, he will not mind the hard work so much. No more hard work.
Lu Xu's mind was full of how to stabilize the situation in Guanyang and how to deceive a caravan willing to follow him north as soon as possible?
Who in the Guanyang Alliance has the strength and connections...
Suddenly, I heard my second uncle say calmly: "In that case, let me go there for you."
Lu Xu turned around and almost twisted his neck: "Huh?!"
