Although the weather in Lujiang County was still very hot in late August, autumn had already entered. The scorching heat of June and July was gone, and the breeze brought a little more coolness.
During this time, Lu Xuan was mainly busy inspecting the local autumn harvest.
In various counties within Lujiang County, people are busy with the autumn harvest, which is currently the top priority.
Lu Xuan inspects the fields every day and goes everywhere to learn about the situation.
The place Lu Xuan walked today was in the south of Shu County. Most of the paddy fields here were government paddy fields, and some were the paddy fields of the Zhang family in the past. The people cultivating these paddy fields are all members of the black-armored military family under Lu Xuan.
All the people were sweating profusely.
Although it was hot and busy, the people had bright smiles on their faces.
Because the grain harvest is very good.
Lu Xuan wore ordinary clothes and took Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and others as they walked in the fields, looking at them and asking about the grain harvest from time to time.
This year, Lujiang County has good weather and is destined to be a good harvest year.
With this year's grain harvest, the government will be able to store a large amount of grain, and the people will not be short of food. Lujiang County's foundation will be even stronger. In the cold winter, Lu Xuan can help more victims.
There is chaos everywhere in the world, there are bandits and refugees everywhere, and the flow of people is very frequent, and they are all going to stable and prosperous places.
Lujiang County is stable, and there will not be many people coming to Lujiang.
Lu Xuan naturally refused anyone who came.
In this era, population is the foundation and the future. Only with the demographic dividend can we have future development.
Lu Xuan walked around the place, saw the harvest, and saw the joy on the people's faces. He felt at ease, and then returned to Shu County with Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and his party.
As soon as Lu Xuan returned home and sat down, the housekeeper came and reported: "Sir, I invite you to come."
"knew."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
He went straight to Lu Kang's study. These days, Lu Kang did not have to worry about government affairs. He was cultivating his body at home. His body and bones had recovered a lot. He was not as haggard as before, and he was in good spirits.
After Lu Xuan sat down, he asked: "Dad, you came to me, what's the matter?"
Lu Kang looked Lu Xuan up and down with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, with deep approval in his eyes. He stroked his beard and said: "Now, your boy has not only married a girl from the Mi family, but also married Xiao Qiao, which is very good. At the same time, Cao Cao will also marry his daughter to you, which is very good and behaves like an old man."
Lu Xuan's cheeks twitched.
After the old father stopped being an official, he seemed to let his nature run free.
As soon as he opens his mouth, he speaks like a tiger or a wolf.
Lu Xuan couldn't stand his old father's words and joked: "Father, you are a highly respected scholar and an old man. You should be careful when speaking, otherwise, if the news gets out, people outside will say that you are old and disrespectful. "
Lu Kang curled his lips, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Who dares to say that, old man? No one will. What's more, marrying a wife and keeping concubines is a natural thing, and it is even more normal to expand the branches of the family."
"I came to you today because you told me about Xiao Qiao. I specifically asked Mr. Zuo Ci to divine a good and auspicious day based on your and Xiao Qiao's birth dates."
"And because Da Qiao entered the Lu family this year, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao are from the same mother and cannot enter this year. Therefore, the final time of getting married is set for the eighth day of March next year. This is an auspicious day for you. "
"I have also discussed this matter with my father-in-law, and he has no objection at all."
"It's just that I see what my in-laws want, and he would rather be a little later. But I can't bear it here. If I delay for a little longer, won't it cause my grandson to be born later?"
"You need to hurry up now."
"Da Qiao is already pregnant. It's been more than a month since this girl Mi Huan came in, and there hasn't been any movement yet. It's your mission to have more children. Only by having more children can the Lu family truly prosper."
Lu Xuan was stunned when he heard this.
The old father is too busy these days. He has nothing to do all day long to think about these things. He has to find something to do.
Lu Xuan's mind turned, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Father, are you considered a highly respected model in the Han Dynasty?"
"Of course."
When Lu Kang mentioned the glory of the past, his eyes sparkled and he looked a little excited.
He stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said excitedly: "When I was in my early twenties, I served as the magistrate of Gaocheng County and made outstanding achievements. Later, I was promoted to the prefect of Wuling, and then to the prefect of Guiyang and Le'an."
"Follow me and join the court as an official."
"Even in the middle of the court, he was still a powerful figure. At that time, the emperor Liu Hong was stupid and wanted to amass money. Everyone was afraid of him, but I was not afraid and dared to directly remonstrate with the emperor. At that time, all the officials in the court were wise and courageous. As small as a mouse, I am the only one who dares to stand up.”
"If I were in the court, how could there be someone like Wang Yun? Wang Yun is just lucky. As for Dong Zhuo, if I were in the court, I would definitely not let him bring trouble to the court."
Lu Xuan's cheeks twitched.
You are too old!
This face is simply too thick.
If you, old man, were in front of Dong Zhuo, you probably wouldn't be able to survive a single round, and you would be beaten by Dong Zhuo.
Lu Xuan stopped him quickly and said, "Father, do you know any celebrities in the world? For example, the world-famous Zheng Xuan, and people like Guan Ning and Bing Yuan."
Lu Kang was stunned for a moment and said: "I know these people, but I don't have much contact with them. Of course, I have a good reputation, so it shouldn't be difficult to find these people to do something. What are you going to do? If you encounter difficulties , I will definitely help you get it done."
Lu Xuan grinned and said, "I need my father's help."
Lu Kang flicked his sleeves and said with confidence: "Just tell me, I promise to handle it well. Even though I rarely go out, I am very steady in handling things."
Lu Xuan said: "I want my father to invite Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, and some great scholars in the world, such as Pang Degong from Jingzhou, to let them come to our Lujiang County to give lectures."
"With these people here, their disciples will definitely come, and they will also call their friends. Naturally, more scholars will come to Lujiang County. In the future, our Lujiang County will definitely become a holy land of literature and Taoism."
"My father is a highly respected person, and it is perfect for you to take the lead."
Lu Xuan looked eager.
Lu Kang twirled his beard, his face a little embarrassed, and his son's request was a little difficult. If you can do a small favor or do something else, that's all. The problem is that you are thinking too much when you ask people to abandon their homeland and come to your Lujiang County to give lectures and teach.
Lu Kang's mouth was a little dry and he said, "Erlang, this matter..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lu Xuan interrupted directly and said, "Father, have you agreed? That's great. I knew it would be no problem for my father to take action. I can definitely find you. After all, my father is a model scholar among the best in the world. How could this happen?" Can’t it be done?”
Gudong!
Lu Kang swallowed.
This little brat.
What a cheat!
But he had already said that he was reliable and steady in doing things, and his son looked like he believed it, so how could he say no? Even if he is an old man who is about to die, he has to do it. He must do it.
Even if it doesn't work, it has to work.
Lu Kang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm very steady in my work. Don't worry, I promise to invite people like Zheng Xuan to Lujiang to give lectures."
"Thank you dad."
Lu Xuan had a smile on his face.
He actually had no hope. Zheng Xuan was in the north, and Qingzhou was also in turmoil now. It is not easy to get people like Zheng Xuan to go south.
Just doing this can distract the old father's attention, and don't always pay attention to the branches and leaves.
Let this happen naturally.
I have been paying attention, my little brother is also under pressure, it will be bad if he is affected.
Lu Xuan stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, your son will be busy?"
"go Go."
Lu Kang waved his hand impatiently.
Now, he had to think carefully about recruiting Zheng Xuan and others. Although he, Lu Xuan, is a model scholar with high moral character and high prestige, he is still a model. A great Confucian like Zheng Xuan is the real master of scholars, the one who can truly establish a sect.
Because Zheng Xuan's academic attainments were unparalleled in the world, Lu Kang was far behind others.
It is not easy to invite such people.
Lu Kang didn't care about Lu Xuan anymore.
Lu Xuan looked at his old father's expression, smiled on his face, and strode out of the study. He first went to Da Qiao's yard and looked at Da Qiao, who was raising a baby, and Xiao Qiao, who was reading to the child.
The two sisters get along well with each other.
When Da Qiao saw Lu Xuan coming, his expression was natural, while Xiao Qiao was a little restrained.
Lu Xuan chatted with the two for a while, asking Da Qiao to take good care of the baby, and also told Xiao Qiao the time to get married. Xiao Qiao just kept nodding, a little shy, and completely lost the refreshing energy before.
Lu Xuan chatted for a while, then left directly and returned to the study to continue handling government affairs.
There are actually not many government affairs now. Zhang Zhao is responsible for most of them. Lu Xuan only took a cursory look at them. He must know these things. Zhang Zhao has outstanding abilities and manages Lujiang County in an orderly manner. All government affairs go smoothly, so Lu Xuan is not worried.
While Lu Xuan was looking through the government affairs, Lu Meng came in and reported: "My lord, a man named Kuai Yue came from Jingzhou. He said he was here on Liu Biao's order and had something important to see him."
Lu Xuan's eyes brightened when he heard this.
Kuai Yue!
This is an important figure in the Kuai family.
Lu Xuan will plan for Jingzhou in the future, and the Kuai family is a family force that cannot be bypassed. The Kuai family and the Cai family are equally famous families with deep roots in Jingzhou.
Lu Xuan stood up and went to the door of the prefect's mansion to greet him.
When Lu Xuan came to the door, he saw Kuai Yue standing at the door. Kuai Yue is tall and tall, wearing a sky-blue robe, with a thin face, bright eyes, and elegant appearance, which gives people a good impression.
Kuai Yue also saw Lu Xuan. Although he had never met Lu Xuan, he was already convinced when he saw Lu Xuan's clothes and appearance.
Kuai Yue's expression was gentle, he cupped his hands and said, "Kuai Yue, Jingzhou, pays homage to Governor Lu."
Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said: "Lu Xuan has met Mr. Kuai Yue and has heard of Mr. Kuai's name for a long time. He just wishes he didn't have the opportunity to meet him. I didn't expect that Mr. Kuai came to Lujiang County today and the humble house is so full of glory."
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."
Seeing Corporal Lu Xuanlixian's posture, Kuai Yue felt a little relieved and had a smile on his face.
Lu Xuan respected him as a polite corporal.
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Meng who was following him and ordered: "Lu Meng, go and arrange for someone to notify Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Mi Fang, Zuo Ci, Li Qian, Zhao Gui and others to come to the house to attend the banquet. I want to arrange a banquet." The banquet is for Mr. Kuai to receive the wind and wash away the dust."
"Here!"
Lu Meng turned around and left.
Lu Xuan took Kuai Yue's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Kuai, I have admired your name for a long time. Liu Jingzhou's ability to establish a foothold in Jingzhou depends entirely on the support of the Kuai family and the preparations made by Mr., but it is a pity that I do not have such talents. Mr. , please come with me."
The more Kuai listened to Lu Xuan's words, the more favorable his impression of Lu Xuan became.
Who said Lu Xuan was young and energetic?
Who said that Lu Xuan was arrogant?
The literati in Jingzhou all said that Lu Xuan was like Mi Heng, he was arrogant and difficult to get along with.
But what he saw was completely different.
This is clearly a polite and virtuous corporal, a wise man who combines talent and wisdom, is kind-hearted, has no airs, and is hospitable.
