Before the show started, he enjoyed Diao Chan's knee pillow and shoulder massage for a while. He held Zhao Ji's hand and talked about palmistry for a while. It was a warm and soft pleasure.
At this moment, Zhou Tai shouted from outside,""Stop!"
"Yes, yes! General, I'm here to pay my respects to the Lord Prefect…"
Lu Peng recognized the voice of the merchant, Ma Feng, and said,""You Ping, let him in."
Ma Feng walked in with a low body and bowed respectfully.
"Have a seat," Lu Peng said with a smile."Have you finished negotiating with the Zhen family?”
"Yes, thanks to your reputation and great fortune, the Zhen family has agreed to trade with us. The first batch will be 300 warhorses.”
"Well, you've done well. You've been very active in the business world recently, and you didn't disappoint me.”
" I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare…" Ma Feng was very careful. Lu Peng rarely lost his temper and was always pleasant to people. However, the more he was like this, the more people trembled in front of him. They felt that there was an invisible majesty.
Of course, only Lao Cai did not exist.
"Speaking of which, did you tell me that you wanted to become a giant merchant in Yangzhou?”
"If the Prefecture Lord favors you…"
Ma Feng said carefully. Lu Peng suddenly shook his head and laughed. He looked at him and said,"As a man, if you want to do something, you have to be the first. Ma Feng, kneel down and acknowledge me as your master. I will support you to be the leader of the merchants in the world.”
Ma Feng was instantly stunned. He saw Lu Peng's potential and placed all his bets on him. He only wanted to become a giant merchant in Yangzhou. He never dreamed that Lu Langjun would draw such a big cake for him.
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"
"No, no, this lowly one…this lowly one greets my lord!”Ma Feng was stunned for a moment before he was instantly overjoyed. Without hesitation, he knelt down and paid his respects.
"Very good, Ma Feng. In this world, other than food, people need to have food and clothing. This is the meaning of you merchants. From today onwards, our goal is to control the economic lifeline of the world. You are my general. As long as you follow me, I will ensure that your Ma family will be rich and have endless descendants! But if you dare to go behind my back…"
Lu Peng stretched out his hand and patted Ma Feng's neck. The latter immediately trembled and hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
"Go. You'll be in charge of the Zhen family's business. We don't lack food, but we can't give them too much. Otherwise, the situation in the north will be out of balance.”
"Yes." Ma Feng bowed and left. His legs went weak after he left the private room, and he almost fell to the ground.
His younger brother and son, who had come with him, quickly came over to help him up. They were all a little frightened.
Ma Feng was excited for a moment and said with a pout,"I'm fine. Let's go!"
His heart was filled with excitement as he walked out. He had bet this treasure. If he could succeed, Ma tribe would leap into the sky in his hands!
Lu Peng did not take Ma Feng's matter to heart. This merchant was ambitious, scheming, and obedient. He was a good tool, but if he had any disloyalty, he could be replaced at any time.
Merchants were greedy and had too many thoughts. He did not trust these people too much.
The performance began. When the actors saw that he had arrived, they could be said to have doubled their efforts. Although there were still quite a lot of flaws in Lu Peng's eyes, it could be said to be quite exciting for others.
" Green grass and green flowers bloom…"
At the end of the performance, Liang Zhu died for love. When the song started, the entire venue was filled with sobbing sounds.
Diao Chan and Zhao Ji were also rubbing their eyes. Only Lu Peng was expressionless.
" My husband really has a heart of stone…" Diao Chan said.
"..." Zhao Ji nodded even though she didn't say anything.
It would be the same if you guys traveled through all kinds of melodramatic dramas.
Speaking of the war situation in the north, a messenger came the next day. It was sent by Yuan Shu. He wanted to befriend him and deal with his brother Yuan Shao together.
Before Lu Peng could reply, Yuan Shao's emissary arrived two days later. Yuan Shao, Han Fu, and a few others were discussing to make Liu Yu, the herdsman of Youzhou, the emperor.
As his reputation spread further and further, his strength grew stronger and stronger. Lu Peng's political influence also grew day by day, and envoys from all over the world often came to visit.
However, Lu Peng wouldn't care if Yuan Shu wanted to mess with his brother. It was none of his business if the two of them fought.
If Yuan Shao wanted to talk nonsense, Lu Peng wouldn't get involved. Even if you became an emperor, I wouldn't care.
He laughed it off and sent them off politely. He did not want to get involved in their affairs. He wanted to develop his own.
The conflicts between the Yuan Shao brothers had been accumulating for a long time. In the first two years of the conflict in the Central Plains, they were the main focus. Boss Cao was still Yuan Benchu's underling at this time, and the two of them were so close that they were wearing the same pair of pants.
Yuan Shao wanted to make Liu Yu emperor, but few of the vassals paid attention to him. Liu Yu himself was even more determined not to agree. In the end, he had no choice but to leave it at that.
At this time, Yuan Shao aimed the spearhead at Han Fu, the herdsman of Jizhou. In fact, the conspiracy had been brewing for a long time. Jizhou was rich and vast, and Yuan Benchu had long coveted it.
Gongsun Zan had a good relationship with Yuan Shao and was helping him mobilize his troops to scare Han Fu. Han Fu had a strong enemy outside, and was bombarded by many of his fellow countrymen in Yingchuan. In the end, he couldn't stand it and decided to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Just like that, Director Yuan officially owned Jizhou and began to compete with Gongsun Zan for Hebei.
