I'm a marquis in Datang

When Yang Lu heard this, the expression on his face changed again, and became even softer.It is even more difficult if it is from Wang Yu's lineage.Yang Lu smiled slightly, his wrinkled face stretched out, and he said again: "I don't know why Mr. Wang came to Jianzhou and Yang's house to visit me?"

Ma Zhou said: "Come here for the war between Xia Guo and Tang Dynasty."

He directly stated the reason.

He is now a member of the Wang family. With this status, Ma Zhou believes that even if Yang Lu

If he didn't agree to submit to Xia Guo, at least he wouldn't break the face with the Wang family, so Ma Zhou directly stated his intention.

When Yang Lu heard Ma Zhou's words, his pupils shrank.Immediately, Yang Lu recovered, and said in a deep voice: "The Wang family came to persuade the old man this time, so the Wang family is on the side of the Xia country, and the prince himself is also working for the Xia country?"

Ma Zhou said: "When the Wang family was in the Tang Dynasty, they had already served the Emperor Xia, and they were loyal to the Emperor Xia. When the Emperor Xia gained a foothold in the Western Regions, the Wang Family sent Wang Qiao to lead a team there, and arranged many children to serve in the Western Regions. After Xia Guo opened up the imperial capital, most of the children of the Wang family worked in Xia Guo."

"So today's Wang family has long been on the side of Xia Guo. As for me, I haven't been an official yet, just responsible for some chores in the family. This time, I was entrusted by the head of the family to come to Jianzhou to persuade Yang Gong."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yang may not believe it. It is not easy for me to go south to Jianzhou this time! Xiao Yuanqi, the general of the Xia Kingdom outside Jianmen Pass, sent ten guards and found a local commoner to serve as a guard. Guide, lead me up the mountain of Jianmen Pass."

"It's really difficult in this mountain!"

Ma Zhou said: "There are countless mosquitoes, snakes, insects, birds and beasts, and the mountain is extremely hot. Walking in the mountain, I feel like I have walked through the gate of hell. It is a blessing to see Yang Gong now. To be able to have today."

After Yang Lu heard it, there was a touch of praise and admiration in his eyes. A scribe wanted to pass through

The mountain at Jianmen Pass is definitely not easy, and it will cost a lot.Yang Lu stroked the beard under his chin and thought for a while, and then said: "Young Master Wang is here for the war between the two sides, what do you need me to do?"

Ma Zhou said slightly: "First of all, I naturally hope that Duke Yang's Yang family can serve Emperor Xia."

Yang Lu leaned forward a little, and asked calmly: "My old man works for the Emperor Xia, and the Yang family works for the Emperor Xia, so what's the benefit? If my Yang family wants to serve the State of Xia, it must be beneficial. I can't just give an order from the Emperor Xia, and my Yang family will put all my strength into it regardless of everything."

Ma Zhou didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "Mr. Yang, what benefits does the Yang family need?"

Chapter 1280 Pig Teammates

Pig teammate

After all, Yang Lu is an old Jianghu. Hearing Ma Zhou's words, he didn't directly say what benefits he wanted. Instead, he kicked the ball back and asked, "My Yang family has surrendered to the Xia Kingdom, so what benefits can Emperor Xia give to the Yang family?" ?”

Telling your own needs is tantamount to showing your cards in advance, which is something Yang Lu will not do.

If you want to talk, talk slowly.

He wasn't in a hurry anyway.

Ma Zhou smiled slightly and said: "Duke Yang, the Yang family is in Jianzhou and has great influence. But the governor of Jianzhou, although he is a disciple of Duke Yang, is not a member of the Yang family. I can make the decision. The Yang family served as the governor of Jianzhou."

Yang Lu waved his hand and said, "No need."

For him, it doesn't make much difference for his disciple to serve as the governor of Jianzhou.Moreover, his disciple, as the governor of Jianzhou, can also take care of the Yang family. As for what the Yang family wants to commit crimes, Yang Lu will never tolerate it.So in Yang Lu's view, saying that the Yang family is in charge of Jianzhou is actually tantamount to saying nothing.This arrangement is nothing more than a left hand and a right hand.

When it comes to negotiations, Yang Lu no longer smiles, but looks rather aggressive.With sharp eyes, he said in a deep voice: "My lord, if you can't come up with more valuable conditions, then

There is no need to say any more.At the moment, if there is no condition for my Yang family to make a move, then the Yang family will not make a move. "

Ma Zhou smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, I have to explain that the position of governor of Jianzhou is already quite good. But since Mr. Yang is not willing, I will readjust it. As long as Mr. Yang is willing to serve for Xia Guo, Xia Guo On the one hand, give Yang Gong three benefits."

Yang Lu said: "I would like to hear the details."

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "First, Xia Guo gave ten places to the Yang family, so that the younger brothers of the Yang family have the opportunity to study in Xia Guo's University of Science and Technology and Daxia Military Academy."

Although Yang Lu is in the middle of Shu, he is not ignorant of the news from the outside world.

He knows a thing or two about Xia Guo.

Yang Lu said in a deep voice: "Young Master Wang, I know about the University of Science and Technology. There are hundreds of schools of thought in it, and there are many great Confucians. Established?"

Ma Zhou explained: "Great Xia Military Academy was newly built. Its main trainees are officials from the Xia Kingdom. Moreover, the person in charge of the Academy is Li Jing, the former God of War of the Tang Dynasty. Although I promised to give you a place, But here at the military academy, there is still an assessment, it is impossible for me to let them enter, and they will enter."

Yang Lu's heart moved when he heard it.

That's not bad.

Once the Yang family's children can all enter the Daxia Military Academy to study, after graduating from the academy in the future, then the Yang family's children will enter the officialdom and become officials, and they will gradually form strength.

Although Yang Lu felt good in his heart, he didn't reveal the slightest bit, and said again: "What about the second one?"

Ma Zhou said: "Secondly, Duke Yang is committed to building an academy, preaching and teaching. Although the academies within the Yang family have a good reputation, the scale is too small. Xia Guo can promise to support Duke Yang, regardless of the strength of the teachers. Or books like classics and history, they are willing to support Yang Gong. In this way, Yang Gong’s academy will definitely develop rapidly. In the future, Yang Gong’s academy will be famous throughout Bashu, and even in the entire Xia Kingdom It is famous all over the country.”

Yang Lu's heart skipped a beat.

It would be too easy for him to become an official, but Yang Lu never became an official from the beginning to the end.Because he has no interest in being an official, it is better to preach and teach in the academy.He watched the students grow up one by one, watched the students walk out of the academy and become officials, and he felt satisfied that they could benefit one side.

This is Yang Lu's yearning.

What Ma Zhou said was right on Yang Lu's heart.He originally had a serious face, but at this moment, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "What about the third one?"

Ma Zhoudao: "Thirdly, Xia Guo's perfume, cement, tea and other businesses can be sold in the entire Shannan Dongdao and Jiannan Dao by the Yang family. For a long time, Xia Guo's

These businesses mainly sell wholesale.The specific local operations are handed over to the local merchants to be responsible for the operation, and Xia Guo only cares about the delivery.In this regard, I am willing to let the Yang family be responsible for these matters. "

After a pause, Ma Zhou said again: "Mr. Yang, this is the greatest sincerity. Please think twice, Mr. Yang."

After Yang Lu heard it, he had a surprised expression on his face.

This condition can be described as favorable.

Don't talk about the first and second conditions, just talk about the third condition, you can make a lot of money.Yang Lu is not an ignorant person. He knows that perfume and cement are extremely important in the world today.If the agency rights of these businesses in Sichuan can be assigned to the Yang family, then it will be a breeze to make a fortune in the future.

After Ma Zhou finished speaking, he said no more, he believed that Yang Lu was a smart man.

When it comes to things like this, you can make a decision.

"Tread! Tread!"

There was a sound of footsteps, but it was the housekeeper who came, walked to Yang Lu's side, and reported: "Patriarch."

Yang Lu said: "What's the matter?"

The butler immediately stepped forward and whispered something in Yang Lu's ear.Yang Lu nodded after listening to the steward to leave, but he looked at Ma Zhou and said directly: "My lord, it is very unfortunate that an envoy arranged by Li Chengqian is coming to the mansion right now. go down and wait for a while

Now, how about we talk about it in detail? "

Ma Zhou said, "No problem!"

Yang Lu immediately called for his attendants and took Ma Zhou down.

Yang Lu was waiting in the hall, and after a while, he saw a young man stepping in.The young man was quite handsome. He was in his early twenties. When he entered the hall and saw Yang Lu, he raised his head and said proudly: "Yang Lu, His Royal Highness has an order that the imperial court needs to collect food. It will be allocated to you. The amount of grain on the head of the Yang family is [-] shi. You are given three days to hand over all the grain.”

Yang Lu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness's actions are a bit difficult for others. Countless members of my Yang family are waiting to be fed. If they donate [-] shi of grain at once, what will the Yang family eat?"
