My game can make money starting from the Three Kingdoms period.

I transferred 10,000 yuan to Guo Lin for her daily expenses.

"Boss, did you win the lottery?"

Lu Xiao coughed lightly, "I guess so. My living expenses have increased, and I've had enough of pooling money to buy meals."

The two were puzzled. They hadn't eaten well for many days, so how could they be full?

But our boss is really good; he doesn't mistreat his employees at all.

Everything is fine except that the company isn't making any money...

As for the source of the money, neither of them bothered to find out.

One can imagine how humble and subservient the boss had to be to get this money to keep the company running, even if it meant sacrificing their own comfort.

Big Green Pepper felt incredibly guilty thinking about how he had been doing nothing while Lu Xiao was livestreaming, and considered whether he should deliver a few more orders tomorrow to help Lu Xiao...

Biscuit silently raised his hand, "Boss."

"Please speak."

The cookie put down. "Could I... cross the line?"

"Crossing the line? Crossing what line?" Lu Xiao was confused.

The green bell pepper also cast a curious glance.

"Could I work as a chef again? I know this request is a bit excessive, and I'm overstepping my bounds..."

"No! Not at all!" The green pepper was speechless. This? Too much? I couldn't be happier!

Lu Xiao asked in surprise, "Biscuit, you can cook?"

Guo Lin nodded weakly, "I know how to make some simple home-style stir-fries, cakes, and pancakes."

"Enough! That's enough! Why didn't you tell me you could cook sooner? Why have we been eating these pre-prepared meals for so many days?"

The large green bell pepper complained bitterly.

Guo Lin twirled the ends of her hair that swept down to her front with her fingers. "After all, the boss hired me to be a receptionist, cleaner, editor, logistics staff, accountant, operations manager, lighting technician, and general helper, not a chef. Besides, you didn't even ask."

Lu Xiao: "..."

Big Green Pepper: "..."

Despite having so much work, Guo Lin is actually the one with the most free time.

Lu Xiao always felt that Guo Lin was a bit too sweet, so he intentionally took care of her, letting her do some cleaning and help Da Qingjiao edit videos.

The company is just starting out, so we don't need that many positions yet, and one person takes on multiple roles. Overall, it's quite easy.

Big Green Pepper wanted to say something more, but Lu Xiao glared at him and shut him up.

Lu Xiao looked at Guo Lin seriously, "Okay, I allow you to cross the line."

"That's great! Thank you, boss!"

Big Green Pepper: "I think biscuits can cross the line more often in the future. I will never say, 'Friend, you've crossed the line' again."

[In 221 AD, Lu Congtian died at the age of 31. His assets totaled 21418 yuan and were credited to the player's account.]

[Should we continue?]

next day

I made three simple home-style dishes and an egg drop soup with the biscuits, packed them up, and delivered them to the company.

While the taste may not be up to par with restaurant chefs, it's already at a level that even the best restaurants can't match.

The live stream started promptly at 1 p.m.

The Dingding Cat connection request has arrived.

Immediately, the more than one hundred viewers who had been waiting flocked into the live stream room.

Lu Xiao didn't check the comments; he focused the live stream on Deng Yi.

Deng Yi, son of Deng Kai, was fortunate to be secretly protected by Lu Congtian, which saved his life after Cheng Dong attacked and killed Deng Kai.

The armored general Cheng Dong saw protecting Lu Congtian that day was Deng Yi.

Twenty-year-old Deng Yi cried like a child in front of a grave.

This is the grave of his father, Deng Kai.

"Father! Your great revenge has been achieved... However, I have failed General Lu..."

"I will not fail the general's last wish! I will take on this important task of flood control!"

Deng Yi resolutely got up and led the people to Sanjiang.

Yesterday, the appointment for Jiangzhou was announced, and Deng Yi was promoted to Commandant of Dianjiang, replacing Lu Congtian.

Why was Deng Yi, a rebel general, recruited by Fei Guan and entrusted with important responsibilities?

This is because Deng Yi delivered Lu Congtian's head to Fei Guan...

Time rewind

On that day, Lu Congtian led his troops to besiege Cheng's fortified village.

Cheng Dong is cunning, but Lu Congtian isn't?

However, Lu Congtian's scheming can only be used once in his life.

The Cheng family's troops had no will to defend the city, and with their patriarch already on the run, they couldn't hold out for long. Some, desperate to save their own lives, opened the gates and welcomed the mob.

The mob unleashed their pent-up anger, burning, killing, and looting, venting all the hatred that had been built up by the Cheng family's years of oppression.

What was the slogan? Kill the landlords, divide the money and grain.

They did as instructed.

Victory was easy.

However, holding onto the fruits of victory is no easy task.

After learning that Cheng Dong had been attacked and killed by his subordinates, Lu Congtian summoned Deng Yi, who was soaked in blood, to discuss matters.

Deng Yi deserves much credit for destroying the Cheng family of Dianjiang.

Lu Congtian dismissed his attendants and asked, "Zizheng, now that you have avenged your father, what are your plans?"

Deng Yi had been taught by his father, Deng Kai, more than once that everything the Deng family had today was obtained by following Lu Congtian.

It was Lu Congtian's secret protection of Deng Yi and his plot to rebel that enabled Deng Yi to successfully seek revenge against the Cheng family.

Now, the entire Cheng family of Dianjiang has been killed by Deng Yi, and Deng Yi has also taken control of the Cheng family's enormous wealth.

At this point, Deng Yi faced two choices: take his share, evade capture, and live in anonymity for the rest of his life.

Second, follow Lu Congtian and carry out the uprising and rebellion to the end.

Without hesitation, Deng Yi chose option two: "Deng Yi is willing to follow the general and accomplish great things!"

Having received the answer he wanted, Lu Congtian rejected Deng Yi's "major plan," saying, "My true intention was never to rebel against His Majesty."

"But General, we have already rebelled. Why not use the land of Dianjiang to establish our own independent regime?"

Lu Congtian could understand Deng Yi's youthful vigor; at that age, he was also eager to make a name for himself.

However, Liu Bei had treated him well, and now that Liu Bei was away on a campaign, how could Lu Congtian harass Liu Bei's rear at this time?

In any case, he will not be a sinner.

"Does the general intend to surrender?"

Lu Congtian nodded.

Although young, Deng Yi was not foolish. "General, if we surrender, we will surely not survive! Besides, the court has treated you like this!"

Just as Cheng Dong said, Lu Congtian has no chance of surviving now.

Even if Lu Congtian contacted his mentor Zhuge Liang and told him the truth that he was forced to rebel by Cheng Dong, it wouldn't work.

Because all the evidence is in the Cheng family's favor.

The application for flood control was submitted by Lu Congtian. Although Deng Kai used the taxes from Dianjiang, he was helping Lu Congtian, so Lu Congtian had to acknowledge it.

Then, Lu Congtian was caught in a dilemma and had nowhere to turn.

It can be said that by transferring Lu Congtian to Dianjiang to cultivate land, the trap was already set.

The floods in Dianjiang are severe. If the floods are not controlled, next year's grain harvest will be in jeopardy, which would be a dereliction of duty on Lu Congtian's part. Controlling the floods will inevitably be exploited by the Cheng family, and Lu Congtian will be manipulated by them.

What about the Cheng family? Others are offering various forms of support at low prices. Do they really think they can punish the Cheng family simply because they refused to do business with Lu Congtian? Or do they think the officials of Dianjiang can reasonably investigate and punish them? Is that reasonable?

No matter how you investigate, it's always been Lu Congtian who was greedy for credit and acted rashly. Later, fearing being held accountable, he rebelled.

Moreover, even if Zhuge Liang did his best to ensure Lu Congtian's survival, the other factions would not allow Liu Bei to allow Lu Congtian to live.

Because the Cheng family represents many powerful clans, if the culprit is not killed, then anyone who is short of money in the future can follow suit.

They instigated the people to kill the landlords and then divided up their money and grain.

In the end, they surrendered and submitted, and nothing happened to them.

Will this work?
