Lu Dynasty

Chapter 299
The shopkeeper was surprised when he saw Zhang He and said: "General Zhang, don't be surprised. My lord often says that twisted melons are not sweet. If the Zhen family understands the truth, they will know what the lord means. If they don't understand, it means that the lord and the Zhen family have no destiny." Even if the Zhen family does not serve under the lord's command, he will not do anything special to the Zhen family when the lord occupies Jizhou. Of course, this means that the Zhen family must obey orders. Otherwise, with the lord's temper , no one will feel better."

Ju Shou smiled and said: "That's natural, no one likes to have a disobedient family under their rule. However, if the Zhen family goes to Luoyang, will your lord give them any privileges?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "No! But the Zhen family can let talented people from his family enter the court as officials. The lord said that he will set up a department in charge of commerce and trade. Like Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family in Xuzhou, has been determined to be an official. The highest officer of this department! The other person in charge of this department is the master's uncle, the big businessman Huang Ming! If the people of the Zhen family are really talented, the master will use them according to their abilities, but you must never use your power to benefit the Zhen family. ,otherwise……"

"That's natural!" Ju Shou said with a smile: "Being an official is naturally for the benefit of the court and the people. If it is for the benefit of his own family, then why didn't Lu Feng kill his whole family?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Since Mr. has decided to join Mr. Tian, ​​he is considered one of his own. My lord has a big plan, and you will know when you meet him when you arrive in Luoyang. But my lord hopes that you can persuade the Zhen family to move to Luoyang too!"

Ju Shou said to Zhang He: "Junyi, what do you think? I think it's better to go to Lu Feng. Then Yuan Shao is really not the master of the Ming Dynasty. How can we give up the pearl and pay for the rubble? I heard that when Lu Feng was in Luoyang, But the children of these aristocratic families are devastated."

Zhang He said: "Mr. Ju, let's convince the Zhen family first, and then decide whether to join Lu Feng or not! If we can't convince the Zhen family, what face do we have to meet him?"

"General Zhang!" The shopkeeper hurriedly said after hearing what Zhang He said: "My lord has been looking forward to you for a long time, if you can convince the Zhen family, it will be a credit, even if you can't convince me, my lord welcomes you very much! "

Jushou saw that the shopkeeper was in a hurry, so he smiled and said: "Jun Yi, don't play tricks on him. You haven't found that Lu Feng's subordinates are very loyal. No matter what time it is, they want to win powerful forces for him! Lu Feng must not Knowing that you and I have friendship with the Zhen family, if we want us to persuade the Zhen family, it must be the shopkeeper who heard us talking outside the door just now and made his own decision! Isn't it, the shopkeeper?"

"I was seen through by the master!" The shopkeeper scratched his head with a smile and said, "The master is going to join the lord. In this case, why not prepare a generous gift for the lord? Han Fu is incompetent, so he handed over Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and the master poached the Zhen family." , It’s not counted as betrayal of the master. This is killing two birds with one stone, can you have no intention, sir?”

Ju Shou smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is so eloquent! You are just a pawn under Lu Feng's command, but you also have such abilities, which made me very moved after hearing your words. I don't know how many people like you are there under your lord's command!"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Sir, it's flattering! I'm the first batch of orphans that the lord sent the boss (Huang Ming) to Luoyang to take in. There are about 500 orphans in this group. To be honest, if I'm the worst among them, sir I definitely don’t believe it, but if I say that I am the best, then I am boasting. Among these 500 people, I can be regarded as the upper middle class!”

Ju Shou asked: "So, your knowledge was taught by someone sent by your lord? Who guided you, but you have such a level?"

"It's Mr. Xi!" The shopkeeper said: "On weekdays, the Lord hires a special gentleman to teach us to read and write, and Mr. Xi Zhicai, who is in charge of Wubao, will also come to guide us after handling the affairs. Mr. Xi is from Yingchuan College. He is a good friend of Mr. Guo Jiaguo, the number one think tank under the lord! He is knowledgeable and talented, and was once hailed by the lord as a prime minister!"

"What about the Mr. Guo you are talking about?" Ju Shou said with a smile: "Could it be that he is more powerful than Xi Zhicai, and was cited by Lu Feng as the number one think tank!"

"Mr. Guo is different from Mr. Xi! My lord said that Mr. Xi is a talent of Wang Zuozhi, who is good at managing internal affairs. Mr. Guo is a genius who is good at military strategy. Although they are both counselors, they have different divisions of labor, so they cannot be compared." The shopkeeper laughed: " The lord also said that Mr. Tian Tianfeng is good at both military strategy and internal affairs, but he is too upright and strict. Therefore, he is most suitable to be an admonisher and in charge of prisons! In this way, he can use his strengths to regulate officials and even The behavior of the emperor has made there no unjust cases in the prison!"

Jushou smiled and said: "Your lord really knows how to judge people! But did he say that I, Jushou, and General Zhang He Zhang are what kind of person and what are they suitable for?"

"This!" The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, until just now what he said was some irrelevant things.But now if he tells them what I said about Jushou and Zhang He, so that they don't come to me, then he will make a big mistake.

Seeing that the shopkeeper dared not say anything, Jushou also knew what he was worried about, so he smiled and said: "If your lord's evaluation is correct, we will have a sense of confidant for him, and we will naturally go to him. If there is some deviation, it also shows that your lord Knowing people. Even if he is wrong, it is normal, after all, he has never met me and General Zhang!"

The shopkeeper knew that he couldn't do anything else, so he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord once said that Lord Ju is steadfast and has a plan of kindness and peace. If we can get his help, the world will be safe! And General Zhang..." The shopkeeper paused He paused, took a sneak peek at Jushou, and found that his face hadn't changed much, so he continued: "My lord said that General Zhang has the courage to fight against Kuai. Although he is a general, he loves Confucian scholars. Practice! Moreover, General Zhang is also aware of variables, he is good at dealing with the situation, and he can predict the situation and terrain of the battle. He can be called a good general in the world!"

"Then Lu Feng really said that about me?" Zhang He said in surprise: "I have never met him, but he seems to have known me a long time ago. Could it be that he was born to be my master?" Indeed, as Zhang He said, I already knew he.When I was in elementary school, I knew him from watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but at that time I only knew that he was a bad guy who was under Zhuge Liang's scheme.And what I remember most clearly is that Zhuge Liang wanted to design Sima Yi at the time, but Zhang He became a scapegoat in the end.After Zhuge Liang killed Zhang He, he sighed: "I am hunting today. I want to shoot a horse (Sima Yi), but I missed a deer (Zhang He)!"

Ju Shou heard my evaluation of him and Zhang He, looked at the shopkeeper, then at Zhang He, suddenly laughed and said: "Jun Yi, let's go to Zhen's house first, and then go to vote for Lu Feng!"
