Turbulent Times Chapter 886: Fan Yang Lushi
(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of "Chaotic X Stars" and "Lonely Heroes".)
Hearing the words, Liu Ziming nodded again and again, thinking to himself, my lord still has a bright eye, this Du Ruhui really has outstanding talent.
Wang Junlin also nodded approvingly, but he did not praise Du Ruhui. He had already ordered the spies of the Lanyiwei Mansion in Fanyang County to further inquire about the news. Although what Du Ruhui said was very reasonable and logically very reasonable, but We have to wait for the news to be sent for further confirmation.
At this time, Shan Xiongxin's voice came from outside: "My lord, there is an urgent report from Fan Yang."
Wang Junlin's four-wheeled carriage is two or three times that of an ordinary carriage. Early this morning, Wang Junlin asked Nie Xiaoyu to take his three apprentices, big and small, to the Wulin Guild branch in Fanyang County in advance to contact Fanyang County. The martial arts people were on standby, and Chen Danying and Shen Guoer were in the carriage behind, so the carriage was quite spacious, so Wang Junlin asked Shan Xiongxin to come in as well.
Wang Junlin sat in the middle facing the front of the carriage, while Liu Ziming, Shan Xiongxin and Du Ruhui sat on both sides.
After Wang Junlin read the urgent report, he glanced at Du Ruhui and said, "It's true that Keming was right. After the main force of the pirates left Haiping County, they really went to attack Fangcheng County. The three counties in the southeast and the southeast were cut off. Contact with the county."
Du Ruhui secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When he said this last night, he was not 100% sure. Now that he was right, Wang Junlin's heart naturally increased.
Wang Junlin didn't say anything about the later news, but handed the urgent report to Liu Ziming. After reading it, the latter looked surprised, looked at Du Ruhui, and said, "The pirates robbed things, and now they have retreated voluntarily. However, the land that was plundered was Fangcheng County, Rongcheng County, and Haiping County in the southeast of Fanyang County, where the Lu clan was relatively weak in Fanyang County, and the wealthy families in these three counties who had a normal or conflicting relationship with the Lu clan were pirates. Although the target of the robbery was not exterminated by the pirates this time, they were also severely injured, and when the pirates left, they took away dozens of direct descendants of the seven noble families including Liu, Sun, and Han in the three counties."
After finishing the rest of the information, Liu Ziming looked at Du Ruhui with admiration, thinking that this guy was right again.
"Shan Xiongxin, send a fast horse to Xiaoyu to give her an order to lead someone to find a way to rescue the seven direct descendants of Liu, Sun, Han, etc. from the pirates." After Liu Ziming finished the information, Wang Junlin had roughly Countermeasures and follow-up responses.
…
…
A few days later, Wang Junlin's convoy finally arrived at the boundary of Fanyang County. It was less than twenty miles away from Gu'an County, the westernmost part of Fanyang County. However, Gu'an County was not affected at all by the pirates' looting a few days ago. Of course it was because he was in the far west, two counties away from the beach, but another reason was that this was Fan Yang Lu's territory.
"You two, what do you think about what you saw along the way?" After Wang Junlin entered the boundary of Fanyang County, he rode a blood-maned horse. Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui also rode horses, so they accompanied Wang Junlin, Shan Xiongxin Surrounded by six sword servants and a hundred guards.
Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui looked at each other, the latter signaled Liu Ziming to speak first, Liu Ziming was not polite, and said: "As I get closer to Fanyang County, I find that there are a lot of people on the road, especially merchants. , but this is different from Guanzhong and Central Plains.”
Du Ruhui went on to say: "Xiaguan grew up in Guanzhong, and left Guanzhong to become an official after his family's fortunes fell. However, he is quite familiar with the capital area. Today, seeing that the wealthy people in Fanyang County are no less than those in Guanzhong at the feet of the Son of Heaven. place."
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "You are right, but you know that Fanyang County has an endless stream of merchants, and the rich people are not weaker than those in Guanzhong. Why is that?"
Du Ruhui and Liu Ziming looked at each other again, shook their heads at the same time, and said in unison: "I don't know, please tell me."
Wang Junlin said with a rather complicated expression: "Fanyang County is so rich, with a population of 100,000 households, it is mainly due to the Lu family..."
Before Wang Junlin took office, he naturally inquired about the situation in Fanyang County in various ways, especially about the local emperor Lu Shi of Fanyang County in detail.
The Lu family in Fanyang comes from the surname Jiang, a descendant of the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and received the surname Lu family because of the enfeoffment of Luyi. The ancestor Lu Ao was once called a doctor of the Five Classics by Qin Shihuang. (now Hebei Zhuozhou) area, settled in Zhuodi, with Fanyang as prefect.
The first ancestor, Lu Zhi, was famous for his Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Responding to Jing's order" and entered the imperial court, the Lu family became a first-class noble family in the north. Together with the other six great clans, they were called seven clans and five surnames, among which the five surnames were "Wang Cui, Lu, Li Zheng" (in fact, these five surnames only refer to the north, does not refer to the whole country).
After the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, wars continued and the political situation was turbulent. Fan Yang and the Lu family were attacked, and their official positions were not obvious. Some members entered the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Occupy a high or important position.
In addition, in terms of marriage, the Fanyang Lu family pays attention to family marriages, and the marriage circle is generally stable in the Qinghe Cui family, Xingyang Zheng family, Zhaojun Li family, and Longxi Li family, and intermarried with the royal family during the Northern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasties frequently.
Compared to the Li family in Longxi, the Lu family in Fanyang is the same as the Wang family in Taiyuan. Shuo Ru, who served as the Minister of the Huangmen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, led the writings, and later became the governor of Yizhou. After Yang Jianli Sui, he retired and returned to his hometown. .
Because Fanyang County is a place of seaside brine, agricultural development is hindered, so Lu family adapts to local conditions and persuades the people to weave women's kung fu, with extreme craftsmanship and skills, to benefit from fish and salt, and vigorously develop land and sea trade routes, accumulated over the years, As a result, Fanyang County's commerce and trade are quite developed, much more prosperous than most counties in the same period.
Because the people benefit, and the Lu family has practiced Confucianism for generations, and Confucianism is the best at buying the hearts of the people, the Lu family has a lot of prestige in Fanyang County. I have heard that in Fanyang County, there are many people who only hear about the Lu family and don't know the emperor.
As Wang Junlin explained the information he had consulted and inquired about in advance, Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui's expressions became more and more solemn, and they gradually had a clearer understanding of the enemies they were going to face in Fanyang County.
The three of them were talking about the situation they might face in Fanyang County, and they have gradually arrived in Gu'an County, the westernmost part of Fanyang County...
Although the imperial court did not stipulate how far the subordinates must greet the newly appointed boss, but according to the customs of this era, at least ten miles must be greeted.
No more, no less, just at the pavilion ten miles away from Gu'an County, Wang Junlin saw a group of dark officials from a distance, waiting eagerly for their motorcade to arrive.
At this time, before Wang Junlin and his party approached, these officials came forward to pay their respects to Wang Junlin.
