In the main hall of the Lu Residence.
After the dishes and wine were served, Liu Dao and the Lu family's father and daughter chatted as they ate.
During the banquet, Liu Dao's witty remarks changed many jokes of the later generations into words that the people of this era could understand.
It made Lu Gong's family laugh heartily.
It was nothing much for Lu Zhi and Lu Su, but in order to be reserved, they could only cover their mouths or hold back their laughter, appearing to be having a hard time.
However, she couldn't help but want to listen and didn't want to interrupt.
During the banquet, both the host and the guest enjoyed themselves, and it didn't take long for them to be full.
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Dao would probably leave soon.
But Lu Zhi took the initiative to speak,"
"Young Master is really humorous. You know so many interesting things that we don't know. You are also capable of literature and martial arts. Your family invited Young Master Liu over today because they have a difficult problem to ask for help.”
What Lu Zhi said was naturally related to her family's financial problems.
When it came to serious matters, Duke Lu and Lu Su stopped talking.
From this, one could also see Lu Zhi's methods.
Indeed, she had the magnanimity that did not lose to a man. As a girl, she had almost managed the entire family's affairs at a young age.
"Young miss, please say it. As long as this Liu can do it, I definitely won't refuse.”
Liu Dao nodded with a smile and raised his hand.
Lu Zhi first smiled in embarrassment,"
"This time, we encountered robbers on the way to Pei County. Our family's property was greatly damaged. Although it can't be said that we can't continue, it's not optimistic either.
Although he still had some property, he was unfamiliar with Pei County and did not have a place to make a living. It was not a long-term solution, so he wanted to ask Young Master for help.”
When Lu Zhi said halfway, Liu Dao already understood.
This had also happened in the original plot.
The bandits broke up the team, and the Lu family's convoy lost a lot of property. There were also servants who were injured and needed to be compensated. It was normal for the Lu family to not be able to support themselves.
Liu Dao did not help the Lu family recover all their property previously because he did not bring many people with him when he left the city.
However, Liu Dao also had his own selfish motives.
Otherwise, with the help of the spies hidden in the dark, it would have been possible to recover more than half of the losses.
The reason why Liu Dao didn't make a move was also to help the Lu family again in the future so that the relationship between the two sides would be closer and achieve his goal.
Although it was a little despicable to do so.
However, Liu Dao, who had been baptized by countless information in the modern world and was an orphan, was no longer a pure person.
As long as he could successfully achieve his goal, he didn't care if his methods were aboveboard or not.
After all, even in all kinds of competitions that emphasized fairness and justice, and all kinds of bullsh * t things, were there not many secret tricks?
After Lu Zhi finished speaking.
Liu Dao, who already had a draft in his stomach, first pretended to frown and think.
Not long after, under the expectant gazes of the three Lu family members.
Liu Dao pretended to have a smile on his face.
Of course, he couldn't give money. After all, Lu Gong was a respectable person. He wouldn't accept money like charity.
It wasn't like Yi Xiaochuan's original plot where he would organize a nondescript charity gala and then open a private school to earn money.
Liu Dao didn't keep her in suspense. He smiled and said,
"Lord Lu is a wise man and will be staying in Pei County for a long time. If you are willing to work for the people, the position of county magistrate is vacant and the county magistrate is about to retire. I can recommend you in the future.”
Although the county magistrate was directly appointed by the imperial court in name, he was still a county magistrate.
The county governor could only directly appoint other officials other than the county captain, the imperial inspector, and the county magistrate.
However, there were hundreds and thousands of counties in the country. How could the big shots in the imperial court take care of them one by one, especially now that all kinds of documents and files were made of bamboo slips?
As a county governor, he naturally had the right to elect officials.
Although Liu Dao had recruited many talents, he managed his subordinates very well as a hands-off manager.
However, he had to be wary of others, so he naturally had to arrange for some trusted aides.
It could be said that Duke Lu was destined to be his father-in-law in the future, so he naturally trusted him.
Moreover, he was experienced and had a lot of experience. With him watching over him, he would definitely be much more at ease.
When Duke Lu heard this, his eyes lit up and he was tempted.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish.
Being able to be an official and have a secure job was naturally an excellent choice.
Although it felt a little strange to work under Liu Dao, who was likely to be his son-in-law, it was also because of this that he had someone to take care of him. It would definitely be very smooth.
Thus, after pondering for a while, Lu Gong nodded and said,"
"Nephew, since you have promoted this old master and arranged it properly, this old master naturally cannot refuse.”
This matter was settled.
Right at this moment, Lu Zhi suddenly stood up and bowed before speaking again,"
"Young Master Liu has taken such good care of our family, Lu Zhi is extremely grateful. Thank you, Young Master."
"You're welcome. You don't have to thank me."
Liu Daoxiao smiled and helped him up.
Lu Zhi nodded and continued,
"Father should be enjoying his old age now, but he still has to work hard for the family. Although Lu Zhi is a woman, he doesn't dare to be so unfilial and want to contribute to the family.
I don't know if Young Master Liu has anything I can do to help Young Master, but it can also be considered as helping the family and reducing Father's burden.”
