Lu Xuan returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, thinking about Diao Chan's birthday.
For this matter, you have to prepare a gift.
While Lu Xuan was thinking about it, Lu Xun came in and reported: "Uncle, Mi Zhu wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan ordered.
After a while, Mi Zhu entered the study and bowed: "My lord."
Lu Xuan waved his hands and said, "Brother, sit down."
When Mi Zhu sat down, Lu Xuan looked at him and said, "Brother has lost a lot of weight during this period. You have to do the work of selling paper, so you can't work too hard. You still have to rest when you should."
Mi Zhu said humbly: "It's not a hard job to be in a humble position. I've been busy selling Zuo Bo Paper during this period, which is very exciting."
With an elated expression on his face, he said: "Today, Zuo Bo Paper has completely opened up sales in Yangzhou and Xuzhou. Beizhi's next plan is to sell it to other states."
"In fact, businessmen from various states have already contacted Beizhi, and they all hope to buy Zuobo paper. Due to the current production, it cannot be sold to more places."
"So the top priority is to expand the workshop for manufacturing Zuobo paper and recruit more craftsmen. When it comes to expanding the scale, Jiji's plan is to build a large workshop for manufacturing Zuobo paper in Dantu County and Chaisang County respectively. .”
Mi Zhu's eyes were bright and he said quickly: "Currently, the monthly sales of Zuo Bo Paper have exceeded ten million yuan. Countless Zuo Bo Papers are shipped out every day. Our net profit has also exceeded three hundred yuan every month. Thousands of dollars. This Zuo Bo paper is a cornucopia for the Lord."
After listening to this, Lu Xuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Brother, we established workshops in Dantu County and Chaisang County respectively. We took advantage of Dantu's waterway and took Dantu's waterway north to Xuzhou to sell Zuo Bo Paper. Go to Xuzhou and send it further to the north. Take the waterway to Chaisang County to the west, enter Jiangxia County, and sell Zuo Bo Paper to Jingzhou. Generally speaking, is this a plan?"
"My lord is wise!"
Mi Zhu nodded.
Lu Xuan said: "We can make arrangements to expand production capacity with all our strength."
Seeing that Lu Xuan agreed, Mi Zhu was very excited and said quickly: "I obey my orders."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Papermaking must continue to advance, but the craftsmen and apprentices selected for papermaking must not be harsh. The wages must be paid when wages are due. The treatment must be sufficient and they must be allowed to work steadily."
"In addition, the improvement of new paper must continue, and we cannot rest on our laurels."
"Once the new Zuobo paper is sold, other businessmen will definitely copy it on a large scale. It is impossible to hide such technology, and it is only a matter of time before it is discovered. Therefore, we must further improve and strive to create better ones. Blank paper.”
"In terms of raw materials, there are many choices, such as bamboo, wheat straw, etc., which can be studied."
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright and he said: "We, Zuo Bozhi in Yangzhou, must be the best in order to continue to make money. We must have something that others don't have, otherwise we will be replaced sooner or later."
Mi Zhu solemnly said: "My lord, I will remember this and tell Uncle Zuo to keep improving."
He stood up and said: "I resign from my humble position."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Brother, it's a rare occasion for me to come and see Huan'er."
"Here!"
After Mi Zhu agreed, he turned around and left.
Lu Xuan continued to think about the gift. After a while, Lu Xun came in to report: "My lord, Chen Deng wants to see you."
"please!"
Lu Xuan ordered.
Lu Xun went to pass the message, and after a while, Chen Deng entered the study. He looked very tired, and he was much thinner and darker.
However, Chen Deng was in excellent spirits.
Chen Deng looked respectful and saluted: "Chen Deng, of humble rank, pays homage to the lord."
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng and suddenly thought of Chen Deng's death from illness after eating sashimi in history, and asked: "Yuanlong, are you still eating sashimi?"
"I never ate it."
Chen Deng shook his head and answered.
He was a little confused. He liked to eat raw fish fillets. This was his hobby and he loved it very much. Why did the Lord ask about this?
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng's appearance and explained: "Although sashimi is delicious, if you eat too much uncooked food, you will have symptoms. It is a good thing not to eat it now. It is harmless to eat it once in a while. . If you eat it often, your body won’t be able to bear it.”
Chen Deng didn't quite agree.
Sashimi is delicious, how can you get sick?
impossible.
However, Chen Deng felt a little touched again. The master cared about him.
Chen Deng continued: "My lord's entrustment, I will keep it in mind. Since last year, I have led people to carry out secret investigations in Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and found many problems."
"Currently, there are many officials with problems. Twelve county magistrates have problems. In addition, there are many powerful families who have annexed land, exploited and persecuted the people."
"All the cases together, there are sixty-eight of them, are all serious crimes of confiscating families and exterminating clans."
After finishing speaking, Chen Deng handed over a book.
This is a summary of the cases.
Lu Xuan opened it and looked at it carefully. He kept looking at it, looking at every case very carefully. After reading all the contents, it took half an hour for Lu Xuan to finish reading them all.
The look on Lu Xuan's face was extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Deng, are all the evidences in the recorded cases conclusive?"
"unambiguous evidence."
Chen Deng nodded in reply.
Lu Xuan said: "In that case, I will transfer Gao Shun to you, and he will take five hundred elite soldiers to follow you. Starting from Shu County, we will deal with them county by county. Everyone involved in the case will be punished and punished publicly. Execution.”
"When you execute a case, the local authorities will assist you and cooperate in recording the case that occurred."
"If the county magistrate has a problem, the county magistrate will cooperate with the record. If the county magistrate and the county magistrate both have problems, the county captain will record it. In short, there must be records at the local level, and you must have records here. All execution cases, It must be traceable to the past.”
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Chen Deng replied solemnly.
He understood Lu Xuan's words, and the retroactive meaning was that once the handling was wrong, if it was a false accusation, he would have to bear the responsibility.
However, Chen Deng was not afraid.
The content he investigated was only a little more than a little, and the evidence was not only big but not small, none of it was wrong.
These people deserve to be killed.
Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Go ahead and do it without any fear. If something happens in the local area, I will take care of it for you. In my territory of Yangzhou, be my official and my common people." , you must abide by the law. Anyone who breaks the law must be dealt with accordingly."
"Here!"
Chen Deng answered again.
He left happily.
The last time he joined Lu Xuan, although he served as a lieutenant, in fact, not many people knew about him, not even Chen Deng. This time, he killed them one by one, until rivers of blood flowed from them.
From then on, everyone in Yangzhou knew how powerful he was.
He Chen Deng is unwilling to settle for the ordinary.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Deng's leaving figure with expectation in his eyes. We must pay attention to dealing with wealthy families and corrupt officials. We are still in the start-up stage, and corruption is beginning to happen in local areas, let alone the future, so we must unswervingly execute corrupt officials.
Create a bright future.
Lu Xuan watched Chen Deng leave and continued to think about the gift for Diao Chan. After much thought, he realized that he was really not good at giving gifts.
This is a thought.
After weighing it up, Lu Xuan chose a hairpin with open-mindedness. Then, Lu Xuan took Zuo Bo's paper, prepared fine charcoal to make charcoal, and drew a sketch of Diao Chan based on the impression of Diao Chan in his mind.
This is a sketch of the upper body.
Because it is an ancient style sketch, and the details are very detailed, including hair, eyebrows, and clothes. It took Lu Xuan two days to complete this sketch alone. After all, Lu Xuan had to deal with government affairs and couldn't keep painting.
After Lu Xuan finished the painting, he left two more sentences on it.
Finally, the inscription is signed.
On February 18th, Lu Xuan dealt with government affairs as usual in the morning. In the afternoon, when the application time was approaching, he came to Shuxiang Pavilion with gifts. There is no business in Shuxiang Pavilion today, and a notice for a day's rest has been posted.
Lu Xuan entered Shuxiang Pavilion and met Diao Chan.
Today, Diao Chan wears light makeup and a light-colored dress, giving people a fresh and elegant look. However, in her freshness and elegance, she is also charming and graceful, and her eyes are flowing, making people's eyes bright.
Diao Chan leaned forward and said, "Lu Shijun."
Lu Xuandao: "Diao Chan, you are very beautiful today."
Diao Chan's eyes were bright, and she was a little surprised. She said modestly: "I dress up the same way every day. I always look like this. Mr. Lu, please!"
"please!"
Lu Xuan answered with a smile.
The two of them arrived at the backyard and sat down in the backyard. The maid brought them drinks and dishes.
