Lu Xuan returned to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, thinking about Diao Chan's birthday.
For this matter, you need to prepare a gift.
While Lu Xuan was thinking about it, Lu Xun came in and reported: "Uncle, Mi Zhu wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan gave an order.
After a while, Mi Zhu entered the study, bowed and said: "My lord."
Lu Xuan waved his hands and said: "Brother, sit down."
When Mi Zhu sat down, Lu Xuan looked at him and said, "Brother, I have lost a lot of weight during this period. You have to do the paper selling business, so you can't work too hard. You still have to rest when you should."
Mi Zhu said humbly: "It's not a hard job to be in a humble position. I've been busy selling Zuo Bo Paper during this period, which is very exciting."
With an elated expression on his face, he said: "Today, Zuo Bo Paper has completely opened up sales in Yangzhou and Xuzhou. Beizhi's next plan is to sell it to other states."
"Actually, businessmen from various states have already contacted Beizhi and hope to buy Zuobo paper. Due to the current production, it cannot be sold to more places."
"So the top priority is to expand the workshop for manufacturing Zuobo paper and recruit more craftsmen. When it comes to expanding the scale, Jiji's plan is to build a large workshop for manufacturing Zuobo paper in Dantu County and Chaisang County respectively.
.”
Mi Zhu commanded with her eyes, and said quickly: "Currently, the monthly sales of Zuo Bo Paper have exceeded 10 million yuan. Countless Zuo Bo Papers are shipped out every day. Our net profit has also exceeded 300 yuan per month.
Thousands of dollars. This Zuo Bo paper is a cornucopia of treasures for my lord."
After listening to this, Lu Xuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Brother, we established workshops in Dantu County and Chaisang County respectively. We took advantage of Dantu's waterway and took Dantu's waterway to go north to Xuzhou to sell Zuo Bo Paper.
Go to Xuzhou and send it further to the north. Take the waterway to Chaisang County to the west, enter Jiangxia County, and sell Zuo Bo Paper to Jingzhou. Generally speaking, is this the plan?"
"My lord is wise!"
Mi Zhu nodded.
Lu Xuan said: "We can make arrangements to expand production capacity with all our strength."
Seeing that Lu Xuan agreed, Mi Zhu was very excited and said quickly: "I obey my orders."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Papermaking must continue to advance, but the craftsmen and apprentices selected for papermaking must not be harsh. The wages must be settled when the wages are due. The treatment must be sufficient, and they should be allowed to work hard."
"In addition, the improvement of new paper must continue, and we cannot rest on our laurels."
"Once the new Zuobo paper is sold, other businessmen will definitely imitate it on a large scale. It is impossible to hide such technology, and it is only a matter of time before it is discovered. Therefore, we must further improve and strive to create better products.
Blank paper.”
"In terms of raw materials, there are many choices, such as bamboo, wheat straw, etc., which can be studied."
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright and he said: "We, Zuo Bozhi in Yangzhou, must be the best in order to continue to make money. We must have something that others don't have, otherwise we will be replaced sooner or later."
Mi Zhu solemnly said: "My lord, I will remember your point and tell it to Uncle Zuo so that he can keep improving."
He stood up and said: "I resign from my humble position."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Brother, it's a rare occasion for me to come and see Huan'er."
"Here!"
After Mi Zhu agreed, he turned around and left.
Lu Xuan continued to think about the gift. After a while, Lu Xun came in to report: "My lord, Chen Deng wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan gave an order.
Lu Xun went to deliver the message, and after a while, Chen Deng entered the study. He looked very tired, and he was much thinner and darker.
However, Chen Deng's energy and energy were very good.
Chen Deng looked respectful and saluted: "Chen Deng, of humble rank, pays homage to the lord."
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng and suddenly thought of Chen Deng's death from illness after eating sashimi in history, and asked: "Yuanlong, are you still eating sashimi?"
"I never ate it."
Chen Deng shook his head and answered.
He was a little confused. He liked to eat raw fish fillets. This was his hobby and he loved it very much. Why did the Lord ask about this?
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng's appearance and explained: "Although sashimi is delicious, if you eat too much uncooked food, you will have symptoms. It is a good thing not to eat it now. It is harmless to eat it once in a while.
.If you eat it often, your body won’t be able to bear it.”
Chen Deng didn't quite agree.
Sashimi is delicious, how can you get sick?
impossible.
However, Chen Deng felt a little moved in his heart. The lord was caring about him.
Chen Deng continued: "My lord's entrustment, Beizhi will take it to heart. Since last year, Beizhi has led people to carry out secret investigations in Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and found many problems."
"Currently, there are many officials with problems. Twelve county magistrates have problems. In addition, there are many powerful families who have annexed land, squeezed the people, and persecuted the people."
"All the cases together, there are sixty-eight of them, are all serious crimes of confiscating families and exterminating families."
After finishing speaking, Chen Deng handed over a book.
This is a summary of the cases.
Lu Xuan turned it over and looked at it carefully. He kept reading, and looked at every case very carefully. After reading all the contents, it took half an hour for Lu Xuan to finish reading them all.
The look on Lu Xuan's face was extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Deng, are all the evidences in the recorded cases conclusive?"
"unambiguous evidence."
Chen Deng nodded and answered.
Lu Xuan said: "In that case, I will transfer Gao Shun to you, and he will take five hundred elite soldiers to follow you. Starting from Shu County, we will deal with them county by county. Everyone involved in the case will be punished and punished publicly.
Execution.”
"When you execute a case, the local authorities will assist you and cooperate in recording the case that occurred."
"If there is a problem with the county magistrate, the county magistrate will cooperate and record it. If there is a problem with both the county magistrate and the county magistrate, it will be recorded by the county captain. In short, there must be records locally, and you must have records here. All execution cases,
It must be traceable to the past.”
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Chen Deng replied solemnly.
He understood Lu Xuan's words, and the retroactive meaning was that once the handling was wrong, if it was a false accusation, he would have to bear the responsibility.
However, Chen Deng was not afraid.
The content he investigated was only a little too much, and the evidence was only a little big or small. None of it was wrong.
These people should all be killed.
Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Go ahead and do it without any fear. If something happens in the local area, I will take care of it for you. In my territory of Yangzhou, be my official and my common people."
, you must abide by the laws and regulations. Those who break the law must be dealt with accordingly."
"Here!"
Chen Deng answered again.
He left happily.
The last time he surrendered to Lu Xuan, even though he served as a lieutenant, in fact, not many people knew about him, not even Chen Deng. This time, he killed them one by one, and blood flowed from them.
From then on, everyone in Yangzhou knew how powerful he was.
He is Chen Deng and is unwilling to settle for the ordinary.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng's leaving figure with expectations in his eyes. We must pay attention to dealing with wealthy families and corrupt officials. We are still in the entrepreneurial stage, and local corruption has begun, let alone the future, so we must unswervingly execute corrupt officials.
.
Create a bright future.
Lu Xuan watched Chen Deng leave and continued to think about the gift for Diao Chan. He thought about it and found that he was really not good at giving gifts.
This is a thought.
After weighing it up, Lu Xuan chose a hairpin with open-mindedness. Then, Lu Xuan took Zuo Bo paper, prepared the best charcoal to make charcoal, and drew according to the impression of Diao Chan in his mind.
A sketch of Diao Chan.
This is a sketch of the upper body.
Because it is an ancient style sketch, and the details are very detailed, including hair, eyebrows, and clothes. This sketch alone took Lu Xuan two days to complete. After all, Lu Xuan had to deal with government affairs and could not keep painting.
After Lu Xuan finished the painting, he left two more sentences on it.
Finally, the inscription is signed.
On February 18th, Lu Xuan dealt with government affairs as usual in the morning, and in the afternoon, when the time came for approval, he came to Shuxiang Pavilion with gifts. There was no business in Shuxiang Pavilion today, and a notice for a day's rest was posted.
Lu Xuan entered Shuxiang Pavilion and met Diao Chan.
Today, Diao Chan wears light makeup and a light-colored dress, giving people a fresh and elegant look. However, in her freshness and elegance, she is also charming and graceful, and her eyes are flowing, making people's eyes bright.
Diao Chan leaned forward and said: "Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuandao: "Diao Chan, you are very beautiful today."
Diao Chan's eyes were bright, and she was a little surprised. She said modestly: "I dress up the same way every day. I always look like this. Mr. Lu, please!"
"please!"
Lu Xuan answered with a smile.
The two of them arrived at the backyard, sat down in the backyard, and the maid brought them drinks and dishes.
