My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

For the wealthy families in Shangyang County, Lu Xuan's house is not unfamiliar at all.

From the time they met Lu Xuan last winter when Sanyang County was first breached by the Guiyi Sect, they have been running here frequently, but their experiences every time have not been good.

I was summoned this time, and I didn’t know what was going on.

We have no choice but to stay in Shangyang County. We have to find a way to leave. Not to mention destroying the whole family. If people are brought here every day, their lives will be shortened by a few years.

By the way...the prime minister doesn't have any ideas?

At least come over and fart. Your grandson was beheaded in public like this, and no one said anything? It is understandable that Tangtang is a first-class person and has a large belly, but it is not such a big deal.

Everyone was waiting for Lu Xuan to be dealt with, and then celebrated together. What was the result? This month has passed, and Lu Xuan is still alive and kicking. Jiang Shu's death is like a wild dog that was killed on the roadside, but no one took care of it.

Where are the laws of the imperial court? Where is the prestige of the prime minister? Where is our future! ?

"I've met the leader!" The moment they saw Lu Xuan, Pei Ruhai and others stood up quickly, with sincere smiles on their faces.

"Don't be nervous, you don't have to be nervous when you come to my place." Lu Xuan sat directly on the main seat, looked at a group of big shots, and said with a smile: "I am a rough man..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a family head couldn't help but kneel down.

"Lu... Leader, we haven't done anything these days!"

Anyone who has been here knows that whenever Lu Xuan says these words, nothing good will happen.

Lu Xuan: "..."

After a long silence, Lu Xuan stood up, helped the man up and said, "I am a rough man and I don't like beating around the bush. I think you all know about the severe drought this year and the food shortage. Come here to discuss this matter."

"Don't worry, Master, we are ready." Pei Ruhai stood up and said with a smile, "The Pei family is willing to provide thousands of stones of corn to help the Master survive this disaster year."

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the prefect or county magistrate had said this before Lu Xuan, they would have cried with others immediately, but in front of Lu Xuan, no one had this idea.

As we all know, when Lu Xuan wanted to kill someone, you didn't even have a chance to spend money to save your life.

"I'm interested." Lu Xuan nodded and said, "But no need, the Guiyi Sect's food is still enough. I'm here to invite you to do business."

Do business?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion when they heard the words. How come these words were so unreal when they came out of Lu Xuan's mouth.

"As far as I know, although there is a severe drought in Yunzhou, Zhangzhou, Wuzhou, and Tianzhou all have great harvest years, and the Kang Dynasty also has a lean year on our side this year. Our Shangyang County can also be regarded as the hub between the north and the south. Take advantage of this.”

Lu Xuan looked at everyone and said nothing, and continued: "Everyone remembers my rules. As long as you pay % of the tax, the rest, how much you can earn is up to you, but there is one thing..."

"Master, please speak!" The head of the Li family looked at Lu Xuan with bright eyes.

"The people under the Guiyi Sect can sell grain at most % more than in previous years!" Lu Xuan looked at the crowd seriously and said: "Business has its own meaning. Businessmen pursue profit. I can understand that. Here, As long as you do things according to my rules and don't do anything to me, you can rest assured that the Guiyi Church will not get any more points from you except what is due."

"The leader is wise!" Everyone was a little hesitant when they heard this. After all, Guiyi Sect feels like a group of bandits. Can they really follow the rules?

"The ugly words come first. Within the rules, I let you make money. My line is drawn here. If you cross it, don't blame Lu for being unkind! Do you understand?"

"Master, don't worry, we are also willing to do something for the people." Everyone nodded quickly.

"The same goes for other businesses. It's your job to make money from outsiders, but don't use it on your own people. That's all. If you don't have any objections, I won't leave you to eat." Lu Xuan stood up and said.

"Congratulations to the leader!"

Seeing Lu Xuan leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and walked out.

This was probably the most relaxing time they had ever had in Lu Xuan's Mansion.

"Mr. Cui, look at what I discussed with you before..." The head of the Li family caught up with Cui Yuan.

"The Cui family also has a grain store in Shangyang County. You should discuss this matter with them." Cui Yuan sighed.

"Thank you, Mr. Cui." The head of the Li family accompanied Cui Yuan out of the door, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Cui, what do you think of today's events?"

Cui Yuan glanced at him: "I have no opinion."

Lu Xuan didn't actually say much today, but the information revealed made Cui Yuan sink.

There are two main messages.

First, Lu Xuan and the court have reached a certain tacit understanding. The court will not take action against Lu Xuan in a short time, otherwise Lu Xuan will not care about these things as much as he does now.

Second, Lu Xuan is not a brave man who only knows how to fight. Another signal sent out by today's incident is to follow him. You can eat meat as long as you follow the rules. It is also a different kind of win over.

Other people in Shangyang County would definitely complain if they did this, but Lu Xuan was different. As long as he killed people all over the house, everyone would burn incense, so when Lu Xuan released such a signal, everyone would think it was a gift.

And he wasn't the only one who noticed this. The Li family leader's problem just now was actually that he had seen Lu Xuan's direction and wanted to see if he could gradually bring things back to their original appearance.

After getting on the carriage, Cui Yuan glanced in the direction of Lu Mansion. The moment he lowered the curtains, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As long as you want to govern a place, you must abide by certain rules. When the rebels take control of the power, you can't do without local wealthy families like them. Although Lu Xuan is tough now, just wait, one day, the rules will slowly change. Back to the original state, you, Lu Xuan, are no different from the previous county magistrates and prefects.

How much benefit can there be from being kind to people?

Just wait, even if Lu Xuan is not tempted, his subordinates, Cui Yuan, don't believe that they are not. Drinking, sex, and wealth are obstacles that every man cannot overcome, and there is always one who can trip them up.

There will come a day when you have to turn around and beg me!

With Lu Xuan's words, all the wealthy families in Shangyang County started to move.

There is no way, there is no way to fight for the land for the time being, it all belongs to Lu Xuan, but there is a severe drought in Yunzhou this year, and the food is hugely profitable. It is not allowed to be sold here in Shangyang County, but it is fine if it is not sold in Shangyang County. I can borrow Shangyang's way. , there is still much to do in Tengshan County, Xiuwu County, and Tongwei County.

However, Lu Xuan and Li Xingzhi have obviously reached this point a long time ago. As long as the food passes through Shangyang County, % will be harvested. Lu Xuan doesn't care what you do with the rest.

This makes many people feel like they are being cut off. Paying % of the grain and % of the tax are not the same thing. It may seem that there is not much difference, but in fact, the room for maneuver is vastly different. .

But despite this, they still made a lot of money.

Overall, this time it was a win-win situation. Lu Xuan got a lot of food, which he could use to work for relief, to build water conservancy and improve roads throughout Shangyang County. At the same time, Li Xingzhi had this food, and he was doing martial arts in Xiuwu. It went a lot smoother too.

Xiuwu, Yima County is also the county seat of Xiuwu.
