Although the weather is still very hot in Lujiang County in late August, autumn has already begun. The heat of June and July is gone, and the breeze brings a little more coolness.
During this time, Lu Xuan was mainly busy inspecting the local autumn harvest.
In various counties within Lujiang County, people are busy with the autumn harvest, which is currently the top priority.
Lu Xuan inspects the fields every day and goes everywhere to learn about the situation.
The place Lu Xuan walked today was in the south of Shu County. Most of the paddy fields here were government paddy fields, and some were the paddy fields of the Zhang family in the past. The people who cultivated these paddy fields were all the family members of the black-armored soldiers under Lu Xuan's command.
All the people were sweating profusely.
Although it is hot and busy, there are bright smiles on the faces of the people.
Because the grain harvest is very good.
Lu Xuan wore ordinary clothes and took Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and others as they walked in the fields, looking at them and asking about the grain harvest from time to time.
The weather in Lujiang County is going well this year, and it is destined to be a good harvest year.
With this year's grain harvest, the government will be able to store a large amount of grain, and the people will not be short of food. The foundation of Lujiang County will be even stronger. In the cold winter, Lu Xuan can help more victims.
There is chaos everywhere in the world, there are bandits and refugees everywhere, and the flow of people is very frequent, and they are all going to stable and prosperous places.
Lujiang County is stable and there will not be many people coming to Lujiang.
Lu Xuan never refuses anyone who comes.
In this era, population is the foundation and the future. Only with the demographic dividend can we have future development.
Lu Xuan walked around the place, saw the harvest, and saw the joy on the people's faces. He felt at ease, and then returned to Shu County with Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and his party.
As soon as Lu Xuan returned home and sat down, the housekeeper came and reported: "Sir, I invite you to come."
"knew."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
He went straight to Lu Kang's study. These days, Lu Kang did not have to worry about government affairs. He was cultivating his body at home. His body and bones had recovered a lot. He was not as haggard as before, and he was in good spirits.
After Lu Xuan sat down, he asked: "Dad, you came to see me, what's the matter?"
Lu Kang looked Lu Xuan up and down with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, with deep approval in his eyes, stroking his beard and said: "Now, your boy has not only married a girl from the Mi family, but also married Xiao Qiao, which is very good.
At the same time, Cao Cao will also marry his daughter to you, which is very good and behaves like an old man."
Lu Xuan's cheeks twitched.
After the old father stopped serving as an official, he seemed to let his nature run free.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like a tiger or a wolf.
Lu Xuan couldn't stand his old father's words and joked: "Father, you are a highly respected scholar and an old man. You should be careful when speaking, otherwise, if the news gets out, people outside will say that you are old and disrespectful.
"
Lu Kang curled his lips, flicked his sleeves, and said: "Who dares to say that, old man? No one will say it. What's more, marrying a wife and taking concubines is a natural thing, and it is even more normal to expand the branches of the family."
"I came to you today because you told me about Xiao Qiao. I specifically asked Mr. Zuo Ci to divine a good and auspicious day based on your and Xiao Qiao's birth dates."
"And because Da Qiao entered the Lu family this year, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao are from the same mother and cannot enter this year. Therefore, the final time of getting married is set for the eighth day of March next year. This is an auspicious day for you.
"
"I have also discussed this matter with my father-in-law, and he has no objection at all."
"It's just that I see my in-laws' wishes, and it doesn't matter if he would rather be a little later. But I can't bear it here. If I delay for a little longer, won't it cause my grandson to be born later?"
"You need to hurry up now."
"Da Qiao is already pregnant. It's been more than a month since this girl Mi Huan came in, and there hasn't been any movement yet. It's your mission to have more children. Only by having more children can the Lu family truly prosper."
Lu Xuan was stunned when he heard this.
The old father is too busy these days. He has nothing to do and thinks about these things all day long. He has to find something to do.
Lu Xuan's mind turned, his eyes lit up, and he asked: "Father, are you considered a highly respected model in the Han Dynasty?"
"Of course."
When Lu Kang mentioned the glory of the past, his eyes sparkled and he looked a little excited.
He stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said excitedly: "When I was in my early twenties, I served as the magistrate of Gaocheng County and made outstanding achievements. Later, I was promoted to the prefect of Wuling, and then to the prefect of Guiyang and Le'an."
"Follow me and join the court as an official."
"Even in the middle of the court, he was still a powerful figure. At that time, the emperor Liu Hong was stupid and wanted to amass money. Everyone was afraid of him, but I was not afraid and dared to directly remonstrate with the emperor. At that time, all the officials in the court were wise and courageous.
As small as a mouse, I am the only one who dares to stand up."
"If I were in the court, how could there be someone like Wang Yun? Wang Yun is just lucky. As for Dong Zhuo, if I were in the court, I would definitely not let him cause trouble to the court."
Lu Xuan's cheeks twitched.
You are too old!
This face is simply too thick.
If you, old man, were in front of Dong Zhuo, you probably wouldn't be able to survive a single round, and you would be beaten by Dong Zhuo.
Lu Xuan stopped him quickly and said, "Father, do you know any famous people in the world? For example, the world-famous Zheng Xuan, and people like Guan Ning and Bing Yuan."
Lu Kang was stunned and said: "I know these people, but I don't have much contact with them. Of course, I have a good reputation, so it shouldn't be difficult to find these people to do something. What are you going to do? If you encounter difficulties
, I will definitely help you get it done."
Lu Xuan grinned and said, "I need my father's help."
Lu Kang flicked his sleeves and said confidently: "Just tell me, I promise to handle it well. Even though I rarely go out, I am very steady in handling things."
Lu Xuan said: "I want my father to invite Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and some great scholars in the world, such as Pang Degong of Jingzhou, to let them come to our Lujiang County to give lectures."
"With these people here, their disciples will definitely come, and they will also call their friends. Naturally, more scholars will come to Lujiang County. In the future, our Lujiang County will definitely become a holy land of literature and Taoism."
"My father is a highly respected person, and it is perfect for you to take the lead."
Lu Xuan looked eager.
Lu Kang twirled his beard, his old face was a little embarrassed, and his son's request was a bit difficult. If you can do a small favor or do something else, that's all. The problem is, you let people give up their hometown and come to your Lujiang County to give lectures
Preaching and teaching, I think a little too much.
Lu Kang's mouth was a little dry and he said: "Erlang, this matter..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lu Xuan directly interrupted and said: "Father, have you agreed? That's great. I knew it would be no problem for my father to take action. I can definitely come to you. After all, my father is a model scholar among the best in the world. How could this happen?
Can’t it be done?”
Gudong!
Lu Kang swallowed his saliva.
This little brat.
What a cheat!
It's just that he has said that he is reliable and steady in doing things, and his son looks like he believes it, so how can he say no? Even an old man who is about to die can't do it, he must do it.
Even if it doesn't work, it has to work.
Lu Kang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I am very steady in my work. Don't worry, I will ensure that people like Zheng Xuan are invited to Lujiang to give lectures."
"Thank you dad."
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's face.
He actually had no hope. Zheng Xuan was in the north, and Qingzhou was also in turmoil today. It was not easy to get people like Zheng Xuan to go south.
Just doing this can distract the old father's attention from all the rambling matters.
Let this happen naturally.
I have been paying attention, my little brother is also under pressure, it will be bad if he is affected.
Lu Xuan stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, your son will be busy?"
"go Go."
Lu Kang waved his hand impatiently.
Now, he has to think carefully about recruiting Zheng Xuan and others. Although he, Lu Xuan, is a model scholar with high morals and high respect, but models are models. A great Confucian like Zheng Xuan is the real master of scholars and the one who can truly establish a sect.
.
Because Zheng Xuan's academic attainments were unparalleled in the world, Lu Kang was far behind others.
It is not easy to invite such people.
Lu Kang didn't care about Lu Xuan anymore.
Lu Xuan looked at his old father's expression, smiled on his face, and strode out of the study. He first went to Da Qiao's yard and looked at Da Qiao, who was raising a baby, and Xiao Qiao, who was reading to his child.
The two sisters get along well with each other.
When Da Qiao saw Lu Xuan coming, his expression was natural, while Xiao Qiao was a little restrained.
Lu Xuan chatted with the two of them for a while, asking Da Qiao to take good care of the baby, and also told Xiao Qiao about the time of getting married. Xiao Qiao just nodded, a little shy, and completely lost the cheerfulness before.
Energetic.
Lu Xuan chatted for a while, then left directly and returned to the study to continue handling government affairs.
There are actually not many government affairs now. Zhang Zhao is responsible for most of them. Lu Xuan just took a cursory look. He must know these things. Zhang Zhao has outstanding abilities and manages Lujiang County in an orderly manner. All government affairs go smoothly.
, Lu Xuan is not worried.
While Lu Xuan was looking through the government affairs, Lu Meng came in and reported: "My lord, a man named Kuai Yue has come from Jingzhou. He said he came under Liu Biao's order and has something important to see him."
Lu Xuan's eyes brightened when he heard this.
Kuai Yue!
This is an important figure in the Kuai family.
Lu Xuan will plan for Jingzhou in the future, and the Kuai family is a family force that cannot be bypassed. The Kuai family and the Cai family are equally famous families, and they have deep roots in Jingzhou.
Lu Xuan stood up and went to the door of the prefect's mansion to greet him personally.
When Lu Xuan came to the door, he saw Kuai Yue standing at the door. Kuai Yue was tall and tall, wearing a sky-blue robe, with a thin face, bright eyes, and elegant appearance, which gave people a good impression.
Kuai Yue also saw Lu Xuan. Although he had never met Lu Xuan, he was already convinced when he saw Lu Xuan's clothes and appearance.
Kuai Yue's expression was gentle, he cupped his hands and said: "Kuai Yue, Jingzhou, pays homage to Governor Lu."
Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said: "Lu Xuan has met Mr. Kuai Yue. He has heard of Mr. Kuai's name for a long time, and he just wishes he didn't have the opportunity to meet him. I didn't expect that Mr. Kuai came to Lujiang County today, and the humble house is so full of glory."
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."
Seeing Corporal Lu Xuanlixian's posture, Kuai Yue felt a little relieved and had a smile on his face.
Lu Xuan respected him, he was a polite corporal.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Meng who was following him and ordered: "Lu Meng, go and arrange for someone to notify Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Mi Fang, Zuo Ci, Li Qian, Zhao Gui and others to come to the house to attend the banquet. I want to arrange a banquet."
The banquet is for Mr. Kuai to receive the wind and wash away the dust."
"Here!"
Lu Meng turned around and left.
Lu Xuan took Kuai Yue's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Kuai, I have admired your name for a long time. Liu Jingzhou's ability to establish a foothold in Jingzhou depends entirely on the support of the Kuai family and the preparations made by Mr., but unfortunately I do not have such talent. Mr.
, please come with me."
The more Kuai listened to Lu Xuan's words, the more favorable his impression of Lu Xuan was. Who said Lu Xuan was young and arrogant? Who said Lu Xuan turned around and was arrogant?
The literati in Jingzhou all said that Lu Xuan must be arrogant, and that talented people like Mi Heng are arrogant and difficult to get along with.
He saw it with his own eyes and it was completely different.
He is clearly a courteous and virtuous corporal, a wise man who combines talent and wisdom, is kind-hearted, has no airs, and is hospitable.
