My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 73: Gaining a Hundred Pieces of Land (Part )

Cao Cao established his authority by killing people to intimidate them, Sun Quan won people's hearts by sharing interests, and Zhuge Liang ruled the country according to law and was selfless, which made the people of Shu sincerely convinced.

Although Lu Yi's power is not as great as the above three, he has the advantage of having extremely ample time.

Therefore, he decided to take a three-pronged approach!

First, he won people's hearts and built Jiuyuan Pavilion into his own closed little kingdom.

Then, in the small kingdom, a more just and fair order will be established compared to the current collapsed order in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Finally, treat meritorious officials well and take the initiative to share the benefits of conquering the world. Then everyone under his command will strive to be the best, and it can also provide an excellent example and strong attraction for the wavering people of other forces.

At this moment, the people of Jiuhe were obviously very happy to be bribed by Lu Yi. They were willing to sell their houses and land, and after exchanging them for generous money from Lu Yi, they were all smiling happily.

However, the reason why Lu Yi did not go to Jiuyuan County to buy wasteland after getting the money, but came to purchase their land first, was that it was naturally impossible to leave them a way to exchange land.

He doesn't care about other places, but now in Jiuhe, and in the future including the entire Jiuyuan Pavilion, all the land can only have one owner, and that is him, Lu Yi.

When these people find themselves in the future holding coins that are depreciating wildly every year, with no land under their names and no willingness to move elsewhere, there will only be one way for them to survive - that is to join Lu Yi's army, offer their loyalty to him, and show their loyalty to him.

They either served in caravans or other industries, worked in Lu Yi's army, or became Lu Yi's tenants, cultivating the fields that originally belonged to them.

When their birth, aging, sickness, death, funerals, marriages are all in Lu Yi's hands, the overall fate of all people in Jiuyuan Pavilion will be highly tied to Lu Yi's own fate, and they will prosper together and suffer together.

With Lu Yi's protection and shelter, as long as Lu Yi's power and influence grow bigger and stronger, the lives of these people will inevitably get better and better.

After purchasing the scattered land deeds and farm deeds of Xiaoming in Jiuheli, Lu Yi went straight to the Jiuyuan County Government with nearly 10 million yuan.

So, on the afternoon of the third day, when Lu Yi was politely escorted out of the Jiuyuan County government office by Huang Huan, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and others, he already had a thick stack of land deeds and documents in his hands.

During this trip, he not only bought 100 mu of land from Huang Huan and others for 10 million yuan, but also reached a secret agreement with the top leaders of Jiuyuan.

In addition to the one hundred hectares of wasteland in Lu Yi's hands, there are many other wastelands near Jiuyuanli.

But from today on, no one can buy an inch of land in Jiuhe from Jiuyuan County Government, at least this is the case for the people of Jiuhe.

Therefore, when they were short of horses and had to rely on ox carts and donkey carts to slowly arrive at Jiuyuan County behind Lü Yi, the people of Jiuhe, who had a lot of money, were dumbfounded.

Ah? All the land in Jiuhe has been bought by others?
Not even paying extra to buy it?
What? Only Jiuyuanting and other places have land?

Now these people knew that they had fallen into Lu Yi's trap.

But even so, most of them just thought they were unlucky, and no one envied Lu Yi.

What Lu Yi gave them were real copper coins, and at a high premium.

Even if they buy properties in other places in Jiuyuanting, they will not lose money, but can even make a small profit.

This is also the reason why Lu Yi is willing to pay a high price.

Moreover, they are all in the same pavilion, so you can see them whenever you look up or down, so it can't be considered as moving to another place.

Moreover, the officials of Jiuyuan County got a hint from Lv Yi and gave them a super low price, although not as low as Lv Yi's 1,000 coins per mu, but still lower than the normal purchase price. Therefore, the people who originally lived in Jiuhe also happily bought new land and hurriedly dispersed to other places in Jiuyuan Pavilion to settle down again.

It is March now, and the farming season has not been delayed. It is just the right time to sow another season of spring crops.

This is also the number one problem facing Lu Yi.

Lu Yi left Gao Shun and Cheng Lian in the old Lu's house to guard the remaining two million yuan in the house, while waiting for the reorganization of the first batch of shop assistants who would return in a few days, the one hundred new shop assistants they introduced, and the other one hundred shop assistants in Jiuyuanli.

He himself took his younger brother Lu Bu with him, and the two of them rode straight to Zhang's family in Mayi.

A day later, after ten days, Lu Yi returned to his cheap father-in-law's fortress.

There is no way, plans cannot keep up with changes, Lu Yi must immediately change his plans according to the new situation.

"Father-in-law, I came here to learn about the construction of Lvwu and the preparations of Zhang family."

"Secondly, we are short of money recently and need to take away some of the remaining war horses."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Shang nodded. "My dear son-in-law's horses are all in Zhang's stables and are well taken care of. As for the construction of Lvwu, it is Zhang Jia who is in charge. I will ask him to come and explain it to my dear nephew."

Not long after, Zhang Jia, who was busy and exhausted, got some free time and immediately came to see Lu Yi.

"My dear nephew, Jiuyuan River Bay is a good place. We are still collecting stones, bricks and tiles. It will take about ten days to prepare the first phase of resources. By then, I will personally lead the team to Jiuyuanli to supervise the construction."

"That's great, but I'll have to trouble Uncle Zhang Jia to do the hard work." Lu Yi nodded and showed a friendly smile.

"Your and my two families are one. We prosper together and suffer together. We should just put our heart into it." Zhang Jia waved his hand, not caring at all. After explaining the situation to Lu Yi, he hurried back to his busy work.

"Father-in-law, I want to sell 600 of these horses first. I wonder if Zhen from Zhongshan who came to buy the horses last time can make some contact on my behalf?" Lu Yi said again.

"This matter is simple. I will call Xun'er over and ask him and we will know the answer." Zhang Shang nodded and called Zhang Xun over.

"When did Sixiao come?" Zhang Xun was also very happy to see Lu Yi and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Is the housekeeper who bought horses for the Zhen family last time still here? I want to find him to continue selling horses." After exchanging pleasantries with him for a while, Lu Yi went straight to the point and asked.

"The steward collected a lot of horses and has returned to Zhongshan. However, he left his address before leaving and said that if we need to sell horses next time, we can come to him." Zhang Xun said after recalling the past.

"Since Sixiao wants to sell the horse, I will go with you!"

"If we can have our uncle by our side, we will surely succeed!" After Lu Yi and Lu Bu looked at each other, they smiled and said to Zhang Xun.

The next day, early morning.

Lü Yi and Lü Bu led Zhang to gather the coachmen who were ready to go out to the border for business next time, and they escorted the 600 remaining mares to Zhongshan State under the leadership of Zhang Xun.
