In the end, Luo Yingyan left with a look of entanglement and disappointment.
But Lu Xu did not feel relieved because he knew that his move was just a delaying strategy.
The power of new equipment and the fact that there is no future in Vienborg are always impacting the hearts of those young people. Once one day they can't hold back, their reasoned obstacles will be useless.
"We must find a way to find something for them!"
Lu Xu murmured, but after thinking about it, he didn't expect to find a living for those young people.
Wei'anburg is developing rapidly, and the economic benefits obtained by each household are increasing rapidly. At this time, if Lu Xu is looking for ordinary livelihoods for them, their psychological gap will not be satisfied.
If Lu Xu had no choice, it was not entirely correct. With so much knowledge of future generations in Lu Xu's mind, he could do it if he made up his mind to bring these young people to become rich. However, Daliang's corrupt household registration system restricts
Lu Xu's performance.
So, Lu Xu was really in a dilemma for a moment!
Just when Lu Xu was in a state of turmoil, the appearance of a person brought a turning point for Lu Xu!
On this day, a large caravan came from the busy Wei'an Castle, with the people in the caravans all covered in dust. And many of them were injured, but their goods were intact.
Their arrival brought many opportunities to the people of Vienborg to watch the fun.
In Daliang, war forts like Wei'anburg also serve as a transfer station. If there are passing caravans passing by here, war forts will be given shelter.
However, because Wei'an Fort is located outside the Qinling Mountains, bandits are rampant here. Therefore, passing caravans often choose to bypass this mountain road. Although the detour will make the distance longer, the safety factor can be greatly improved.
Therefore, for the people of Vienborg, being able to see the caravans in the past is a brand new experience.
There is an inn in Wei'an Castle, but this inn has become a dangerous building due to disrepair before the people of Beiting came.
Fortunately, after Lu Xu took office, because there was still surplus of the three-dimensional soil in the fort, and Lu Xu still had the idea of using it as a warehouse at the time, so he really repaired the inn.
It's right.
only......
Although the inn has been repaired, there are no staff in the inn. At most, it can only provide merchants with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
In order to prevent them from starving, Lu Xu arranged for Han Laoliu to send water and food to others nearby, which at least solved the problem of food and clothing for them.
It is conceivable that the businessmen’s staying experience today will not be very good. So, when Lu Xu heard that a businessman came to see him, Lu Xu’s first reaction was: “I’m afraid he wasn’t here to complain?”
Lu Xu made up his mind that if someone really came to complain, then the complaint could be accepted, and it would be impossible to correct it.
After all, strictly speaking, this situation is not caused by Lu Xu. Even if he can repair the inn, he will complete the task. As for the staff to dispatch the inn to maintain the operation of the inn? Sorry, this matter is really not up to him.
!
Unexpectedly, when people came to see Lu Xu, they didn't show the angry face that Lu Xu had expected, but instead looked kind!
Looking at the thin middle-aged man in front of him who looked like an old man, Lu Xu said strangely: "Shopkeeper Liu, I wonder what it is for you to come to see me today?"
Lu Xu is now a fifth-rank official! Although he is a serious and inequality official, he is also qualified to call himself the official.
When Manager Liu heard Lu Xu’s question, his face was full of sadness: “To be honest, Lord Lu said, the villain is desperate and is here to ask you for help!”
"Adults must know about Qinfeng Road. Since ancient times, this place has been a rampant place for bandits. Therefore, merchants who do business on Qinfeng Road will spontaneously organize caravans and everyone will act together, so that they can take care of each other.
.”
"I was originally a member of the local chamber of commerce. But because the villain broke the rules, he did business that he shouldn't have done..."
Lu Xu quickly reached out and stopped Manager Liu: "You said you did a business that you shouldn't do? What business?"
Manager Liu hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Lord Lu, villains are definitely good people who abide by the law. Haven't you read the villain's documents? If the villain is the illegal person, I can't handle the documents passing by, right? And I
Such a large caravan cannot do business secretly through the eyes of the government, right?”
Lu Xu nodded. What Manager Liu said was indeed reasonable. No matter what Manager Liu wanted him to help? With reasonable and legal procedures, Lu Xu must not make any mistakes in helping.
Even if Manager Liu is really a restless person, Lu Xu cannot hold him accountable if he helps him. If he wants to hold him accountable, he can only hold him accountable to the person who issued the documents to Manager Liu.
Even, people asked Lu Xu for help with legal procedures. Lu Xu didn't help him out for military reasons, but if something happened to Manager Liu, it was really possible that someone would criticize Lu Xu's morality with this.
question.
But... Lu Xu was still a little curious about what rules did Manager Liu break?
Manager Liu could only smile bitterly and said, "Since ancient times, merchants have bought low and sold high and hoarded goods, which is common. Merchants are pursuing profits, which is understandable in my opinion. I will not claim to be noble, but I see it.
I won’t make the money I can earn.”
His words seemed to be justifying some immoral behavior, and Lu Xu felt uncomfortable. Manager Liu seemed to know that his words could easily make people unhappy, so he speeded up his speech and said, "But! I'm not either."
What should people who only want to see money? What should they make? What should they not? I can still tell them clearly!"
"The country is in crisis! The entire Qinfeng Road is short of food, and Master Jingli even bought grain from the Chamber of Commerce every few days. At this time, hoarding grain can indeed make a lot of money, but this money cannot be made! This is a bad money!"
The more Mr. Liu talked, he became more and more excited! There were even a trace of tears on his face, while Lu Xu's face became increasingly ugly.
I heard the shopkeeper Liu continue to cry and say, "I, Liu Xueyi, are not a conscientious person. As long as I make a little effort and don't let me run away in vain, I will be willing to transport grain to our Qinfeng Road. But those people in the Chamber of Commerce will not do it!
When they saw me selling affordable grain, they said that I broke the rules of the Chamber of Commerce and excluded me!"
"It's nothing. I can't do business with them anymore. I can do business with Jingluo Mansion, right? As long as I keep the price fair, I will collect as much goods as the goods I have. My source of goods is more
It was outside Qinfeng Road, and no matter how long the chamber of commerce on Qinfeng Road was, I would not be unable to pick up the goods."
"But if they don't form a caravan with me, the safety along the way will be unsecured!"
Hearing this, Lu Xu was furious! He slapped the table and said, "It's outrageous! It's really lawless!"
