Although he didn't agree, Lu Kang had already made up his mind. Lu Peng couldn't dissuade him, so he could only tell him to be careful.
Although Lu Kang was an old hooligan, he was a thick-skinned and black-hearted person. He was like a younger brother in front of others.
Lu Kang still wanted to invite him, but Lu Peng firmly refused. Why did he have to get involved in this mess? Wasn't it nice to stay at home and farm?
He took out 2,000 dans of grain and gave it to Lu Kang, scaring the old hooligan.
"Uncle, please take care." Lu Peng cupped his hands and said.
Lu Kang looked at him deeply, then turned around and went back to Lujiang. A few days later, he came back with the rest of his family.
"This old man is almost seventy years old. Who knows when I'll go see the Great Han Dynasty's previous emperors. These good-for-nothings in the family, I'll have to ask Nephew Peng to take care of them.”
Lu Peng sighed speechlessly." Don't put up such a flag. If you want to go, go happily and come back happily. Just treat it as a tour and a show."”
A few days later, Old Lu, who was in his sixties or seventies, led 8,000 military horses north. The background on the horse was rather desolate.
Lu Peng shook his head and sighed. There were quite a lot of loyal officials in the Han Dynasty, but it was difficult to stop the sunset from descending the mountain.
He turned around and looked at Cai Yong, who had come to send him off."Why isn't Mr. Cai following us?"
Cai Yong snorted and ignored him, directly pulling his horse back to Yangquan.
After the old man heard Wang Can and Lu Cui's retelling of Lu Peng's lecture, he seemed to dislike him more and more.
There were dozens of people in the old Lu family. Lu Peng arranged a house for them. Lu Yi's father, Lu Jun, was sick. He had found a few doctors, but there was no improvement.
The medical science of this era was really too backward. Lu Peng was also a little helpless.
After some thought, he summoned a few merchant leaders and said to them,""Help me spread the news that I have a patient here who needs to be treated by Mr. Hua Tuo. If he could come, other than rewarding him with a large sum of money, there would also be a special gift that he would definitely be interested in.”
After the merchants left, Lu Peng sat in his room and pondered. He knew nothing about how medicine should develop in this era.
He only remembered that small-fever was cured by cowacne, but he did not know how to do it. If he could find Hua Tuo, he could ask him to do this.
At this moment, a merchant sneaked back and stuck his head out at the door.
"What's the matter?" Lu Peng asked.”
The merchant came in with a smile." Langjun, I heard that Mr. Hua Tuo has gone to the north recently. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him."”
"That can't be helped." Lu Peng sighed.”She had tried her best. There was nothing Lu Jun could do if he could not cure her.
The merchant hesitated and remained silent. Lu Peng frowned and said,""If you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes, yes, Langjun, I have something to say…Can we talk in private?”
Lu Peng raised his head and looked at him carefully. This businessman looked to be in his thirties. He had decent looks and a passionate gaze. He was an interesting person.
"Tell me." Lu Peng asked his left and right to step back as he looked at him.
This person's martial strength was only 10 points. If he really wanted to assassinate him, he would be courting death.
"Yes, Langjun, to be honest, most of the business connections in the country are in the hands of a few big businessmen. They are the Zhen Clan of Hebei, the Mi Clan of Xuzhou, the Cai Clan of Jingzhou, and the Wu Clan of Yizhou. These tycoons not only hold huge amounts of wealth, but they are also involved in the military and political affairs. They have great influence in the local area…"
Lu Peng listened quietly for a while and slowly said,""You want to be a giant merchant in Yangzhou?”
The man hurriedly said," How dare I? I don't have such ambitions. I just want to do it for you and share your worries."”
Lu Peng looked at him with a faint smile and said lightly,""What's your name?"
The man was a little frightened by his gaze and laughed dryly."My surname is Ma, my name is Feng…"
"Very good, this surname is not bad." Lu Peng pondered for a moment and stared at him." I'll give you three missions. After you complete them, I'll fully support you. First, lead the caravan north and open up a north-south trade route for me. I can trade with the Zhen family and use food to exchange for warhorses. Second, find Mr. Hua Tuo for me. Third, help me purchase iron ore, the more the better.”
Ma Feng left in a daze. Lu Peng sat down and wrote the words " Mi, Zhen, Cai, Wu " on the paper. Then, he crossed them out one by one and drew a big circle in the end.
Business needed circulation to be called economy. He wanted to control the economic lifeline of the world and make it form a circle, not like now, where each of them was king.
