The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 102 Liu Rufeng's Meeting Ceremony

"Patriarch, time is a bit tight, I only roughly categorized them, and I haven't had time to take stock of them yet," Lu Changgeng said nervously.

In the past, the clan was so poor and the warehouse was so empty that mice could run away.

Knowing that Lu Changle asked him to manage the accounts, Lu Changgeng once thought that he would put him in the "cold palace" and give him a job.

I really woke up, no matter what errands I had, I used them as coolies,

Now there are more than ten warehouses of various kinds, and those caves are almost not enough.
There are too many things, and everything needs to be registered and classified. Others are fine, you can let the helper do it,
Like these gold and silver treasures, Lu Changgeng has to sort them out by himself.

It's not that I don't trust the tribesmen, it's mainly that many tribesmen don't have enough knowledge, and I'm afraid they won't know the goods and make a mess.

Lu Changle patted Lu Changgeng on the shoulder: "Thank you."

At this time, when he walked to the treasury room where the gold and silver goods were stored, Lu Changgeng said with a wry smile, "It should be", took out the key and opened the door,
As soon as the door was opened, everyone felt their eyes light up.
Several clan elders and house heads were quickly stunned by the mountain of wealth inside.

Gold ingots, silver ingots, gold cakes and silver nuggets piled up into a hill;
There are so many styles of earrings, pearl hairpins, bracelets, rings, etc., it feels like you can open a jewelry shop;
There are many kinds of opal, agate, ruby, sapphire, clam, linden, pearl, etc.;

In addition, there are antique porcelain, jade, fur, calligraphy and painting, etc., which can be called a treasure house.

The second uncle picked up a huge Dongzhu, and said with a look of surprise: "Oh my God, is this the home of the God of Wealth? No wonder the commendation meeting is so generous. It's worth saving the Wang family this time. Tsk tsk, this thing I know that top-notch Dongzhu is worth 500 taels of silver at least."

Last time I got a few meat tickets and gained a lot, but all I received were gold and silver.

Unlike this time, most of them are all kinds of valuable gold and silver goods, which look more shocking,

It's really confusing.

Lu Jinyuan explained: "I have interrogated those thieves. Before he became a thousand households, Xu Cheng, the flying tiger, was the little leader of the pirates and saved a lot of wealth. When the plague first started, Changle was very troubled. There was not enough manpower. In Changle County, the magistrate of Changle County asked him to send troops into the city to assist in defense.”

"Letting someone like Xu Cheng enter the city is undoubtedly catching a mouse into the rice vat. Those gold and silver shops in Changshui Street have been harmed by him a lot, and now it's cheaper for us."

Uncle Fatty said with bright eyes, "I didn't expect this Flying Tiger to be a good guy once."

Lu Changle said generously: "All the elders and Fangtou have worked hard, everyone is chosen the same, let's keep it as a souvenir."

After gaining so much, I have to give some benefits to these clan elders and house heads,
Otherwise, next time something happens, they won't be as active as this time.

Master Qing was playing with a plum vase painted with plum blossoms, hesitantly said: "Patriarch, this is not very good."

"There's nothing wrong with it. Everyone who worked hard this time will be rewarded. In order to rescue the Wang family, the clan elders and house owners are so busy that they are exhausted. It's a good idea to keep a souvenir." Lu Changle said sincerely .

The second uncle threw away the pearl in his hand, and said with a smile: "The patriarch has spoken, and they are all his own people, so the old man will be disrespectful. What are you still doing, you are stupid if you don't take it."

With the second uncle taking the lead, everyone let go,
Qing Erye chose an antique plum vase,
Lu Jinyuan saw a precious sword inlaid with rubies,

Fatty likes gold, so he took a flat peach made of gold,

Everyone else has their own gains, and everyone's faces are full of joy.

Someone suggested on the spot to look for an opportunity to do another vote. There are so many bandits in Fujian now, so pick a few lucrative ones to beat them.

When they went back, there were only a few clan elders and house heads, and Lu Changle stayed behind to help sort out the eight boxes of spoils.

Walking halfway, the second uncle looked at the fat uncle who was hesitant to speak several times, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here. The most annoying thing is that you want to say it but don't say it. You keep going." Dangle in front of your eyes."

Uncle Fat looked around and said in a low voice, "Second Uncle, are those things in the back mountain surnamed public or private?"

The wealth in the back mountain has not entered the public account of the clan,

Every time they act, there are people in the clan, but no one can deny that most of the credit goes to Lu Changle,

If Lu Changle hadn't turned decay into magic and refined gold from the mud, the Lu family in Fuzhou might have been scattered.
Later, he tried his best to turn the tide and rescued the Fuzhou Lu family from Zheng Du.

The clan's training is all done with money from the private treasury. When the Wang family was rescued, it was in the name of the rural protection team.

Uncle Fatty was a little confused as to whether the wealth in the back mountain belonged to the Lu family in Fuzhou.

In other words, how many belong to the Fuzhou Lu family.

The second uncle stopped, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "I guessed that you would think so. Brother Le said that the property in the back mountain will not enter the public house, but the money will be spent in the Lu family in Fuzhou." On the body, ask Chang Geng to manage the accounting, and the guards and underhands are all our clansmen, just to show magnanimity, from now on, don't say these things again."

"That's it." Second Master Qing said with his hands behind his back: "Do your own thing well, live your own life well and follow the patriarch wholeheartedly. As long as life has hope and life is prosperous, why bother?"

When everyone thinks about it, it really makes sense,
Brother Le said that he would lead everyone to make a fortune, just follow him and do it down-to-earth.
He doesn't have the brains of Brother Le, so why bother.

Lu Changle in the cave didn't know what the elders and the house were talking about, but sorted out and counted the belongings together with Lu Changgeng,
Lu Changle opened a calligraphy and painting, it looked pretty good, but what was good about it, and how much it was worth, I really couldn't tell, frowned and said: "Brother Chang Geng, you have been outside for a long time, and you have a lot of knowledge, so you know how much these things are worth ?"

"Patriarch, when I went to Fuzhou, I worked as an accountant, not a pawn. I really don't have the vision. To find out how much these things are worth, I need to find someone who knows how to do it."

"Oh, is there a suitable candidate?"

Lu Changgeng thought for a while, and quickly replied: "Patriarch, I know a businessman from Huizhou, surnamed Cheng and named Liye, who has a wide network of contacts, is trustworthy, and the price is fair, so I can definitely find him."

"Cheng Liye? What does he run?"

"pawn shop"

"Huizhou people? Are they Huizhou merchants?"

"Yes, Cheng Liye is the nephew of the vice president of the Huizhou Commercial Guild, and he has many connections."

Lu Changle made a decision on the spot: "Okay, it's him, Brother Chang Geng, you make arrangements, I will meet him."

"Okay, no, it's a bit messy now, it may take a little time."

"The money is still sufficient now, don't worry, I'll wait for him."

To make things happen, there are too many materials needed, and it is too inefficient to rely on the Lu family to use a horse-drawn carriage to buy them.
It is necessary to find a powerful, channeled and reliable businessman to cooperate with.

After the discussion, Lu Changle left the back mountain with a smile on his face, ready to go to the ancestral hall to visit the wounded.

Before arriving at the ancestral hall, Lu Changle was dragged away by the excited Gan Hui.

"Uncle Hui, why are you so happy?" Lu Changle asked with some doubts.

Gan Hui is stable in his work, and it is rare to see him so happy.

"you guess?"

Lu Changle thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that Mrs. Qiao is pregnant?"

Gan Hui, who was walking in front, staggered, almost fell, stabilized his body, turned his head and said angrily: "Brother Le, what are you thinking about every day, forget it, tell you, my good brother Liu Rufeng came back and brought you a generous gift."

Liu Rufeng?
Lu Changle remembered that Gan Hui's sworn brother had helped monitor Fan's business, but he was not there when Chen Qi came, so he went to Zhangzhou to help Gan Hui deliver the letter.

Unexpectedly, he finally came.

"Great, now is the time for employing people." Lu Changle said happily: "Come here, why don't you bring any gifts, it's too polite."

Soon, Lu Changle saw Liu Rufeng from a distance in the isolated log cabin outside the village, and five men with shabby clothes and restrained expressions. The older one was 50 to [-] years old, and the younger one was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. , They are being inspected by Luo Ming.

"Patriarch Lu, these guests have been checked, and they are in good health." Luo Ming immediately reported to Lu Changle after checking.

To Lu Changle, Luo Ming expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart,

Thanks to Lu Changle's blessing, he has achieved fame and fortune, and can get 30 taels a month.
It's all planned. When the epidemic is over, buy a good house and marry a beautiful girl. When the time comes, the wife and children will be hot.
It's beautiful to think about.

"There is Lauro."

"It should be, Patriarch Lu, let's talk. I'll go to the medical shed to hold hands. There are still a lot of people queuing up. Uncle Dong is the only one. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."

"Okay, Mr. Luo, please go ahead"

After Luo Ming left, Gan Hui immediately introduced Liu Rufeng to Lu Changle.

After being polite, Lu Changle said with a smile: "Uncle Hui has been worrying about Uncle Feng's safety these days. Now that he is here, I guess Uncle Hui can sleep peacefully tonight. By the way, who are these?"

The five people standing behind Liu Rufeng haven't been introduced yet.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rufeng said with a smile: "You can't come empty-handed to seek refuge with Patriarch Lu. These five are my greeting gift to Patriarch Lu."

　Thank you for your genuine subscription, voting and rewarding,
　　The grades are not good, but the artillery will write carefully, thank you.
