Liu Deng had already said this. If he still didn't know what to say, it would be a bit disrespectful, so Luan Bu immediately made up his mind after thinking about it for a while.
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty. When Your Majesty returns to the capital, Luan Bu is willing to accompany you."
"Very good. The army will set out in five days. I will only take my meritorious soldiers to Chang'an!"
Seeing Luan Bu make his choice, Liu Deng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The addition of Luan Bu is really a powerful addition to Liu Deng.
Suddenly having such a mature and prudent general in his hands was always a good thing for Liu Deng, no matter how his next plans changed.
"Then we will start preparations as soon as we return. In five days, we will go to Chang'an with the king on time!"
Luan Bu immediately clasped his fists and said.
"There is no rush for this. With the general's ability, I can just go back and give instructions. I wonder what the general thinks of this place?"
Liu Deng changed his style and pointed at Liang Yuan in front of him.
"Well……"
Now it was Luan Bu's turn to be in trouble. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say about the place in front of him.
Although he had heard about the grand occasion of Liangyuan before, there were ruins everywhere here. Now, he really felt that it was a bit hard to explain.
"this……"
"General, just tell the truth!"
Liu Deng also had a smile on his face. In comparison, he still preferred dealing with these soldiers.
After all, these people are much less evil-minded. On the contrary, the politicians in the DPRK are very scheming. When dealing with them, you have to always pay attention to whether they will be betrayed.
"Although this Liang Garden is now dilapidated, you can still see the shadow of its original grandeur..."
Luan Bu thought about his words and said with some embarrassment.
"I want to join the business here with His Highness Prince Liang, but there are still a few people in charge. I heard that the general's family still has three sons who are idle at home. I wonder if one or two of them want to become merchants. The way?"
Liu Deng said with a smile.
"What the king means is..."
Luan Bu suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
It seemed that Liu Deng was preparing to give him some benefits.
"If the son is reluctant to part with him, a reliable nephew is also fine. I want to do something small here with His Highness Prince Liang. If the general doesn't mind it, he will give 10% of my share as a reward for his hard work. Capital!"
Liu Deng suddenly said with a smile.
"This, this is inappropriate..."
Luan Bu's mouth suddenly went dry for a while. No matter which deal this King made, it was always earth-shattering.
First, he sold salt and directly wiped out the six major vassal states. Finally, he uprooted the salt production industry of Wu State in one fell swoop, establishing his position as the overlord of Dai State's salt industry.
Then came the banks, and then SF Bank’s network directly spread the banks all over the world.
Almost all the banknotes they issued can replace currency. The profits made this year are astronomical as you can imagine.
"There's nothing wrong with it. This matter is settled like this. The general will just go back and find someone to come look for me. But I'll tell you the ugly things in the front. If they don't succeed, my big stick won't be polite!"
Liu Deng burst out laughing when he said this, which immediately made Luan Bu's eyes become moist.
Living in Chang'an is not easy!
He, a general with no foundation, has struggled for so many years and has not been able to get along with a marquis until now. On the contrary, he has spent almost all his own wealth.
Just the annual greetings and send-offs cost a lot of money, and if they traveled around during the New Year holidays, almost half of his salary would be spent.
Even though he has the title of general on his head, his life is not as good as that of an ordinary merchant's family.
"Okay, I won't say any more. Although after becoming a merchant, the descendants will naturally not be able to inherit the title, but after all, it is still a way to survive. This kind of flesh and blood relationship cannot be passed down with just a document. It can be broken, what do you think?"
Liu Deng stepped forward and patted Luan Bu on the shoulder, then said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. From now on, Luan Bu is willing to be the only one who obeys His Majesty!"
Luan Bu's eyes turned red and he knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Deng and said with his hands raised.
"General, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"
Liu Deng smiled and stepped forward to help Luan Bu up, and then comforted him with gentle words. Now he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing one's self and knowing one's enemy will make you win a hundred battles. During this period, Liu Deng also sent people to investigate Luan Bu's background.
He is a generous person and has always spent money lavishly. Naturally, his family has little savings.
Now, Luan Bu has been conquered by him, and giving Luan Bu some benefits is also to help Luan Bu get out of his current predicament.
"Luan Bu will never forget the kindness of your Majesty!"
Luan Bu said with red eyes and some tears.
"Okay, okay, it's just some idiots. Don't say such things again in the future!"
Liu Deng said with a smile.
"General, we have been waiting here for more than an hour. It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Liang has done something intentional today!"
Liu Deng and Luan Bu were chatting happily, but on the other side, Zhou Yafu's life was not easy.
After submitting the post, the eunuchs in the palace suddenly became silent.
Zhou Yafu and his group of more than a dozen people could only stand stupidly in front of the palace, waiting for the summons of King Liang.
Time passed slowly, and more and more people were watching outside the palace. The generals and commanders standing beside Zhou Yafu felt a sense of humiliation.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Zhou Yafu turned his head and scolded with a cold face.
Everything today can be regarded as their own fault.
After being scolded by Zhou Yafu, the generals and commanders around him suddenly became silent.
"Your Highness, they have been standing outside for an hour..."
In the palace, Han Anguo was also admonishing Liu Wu in a low voice.
"What's wrong with one hour? They kept me waiting for a month!"
When Liu Wu said this, his teeth were itching with hatred.
Two hundred thousand people were killed and injured. This result was really unbearable for Liu Wu.
"Your Majesty, after all, he is a general appointed by the imperial court. It really doesn't look good if you just leave him out like this..."
Han Anguo also had a wry smile on his face. Although he hated Zhou Yafu in his heart, if he continued like this, he would lose the court's face...
"Doesn't it look good? Have they considered whether the king's side looks good? My king's concubines are all posted on the city wall, haven't they thought about royal decency?"
The more Liu Wu talked, the angrier he became, and he kicked over the desk in front of him.
