When Li Su heard that Lu Su was actually a rich man in Quyang County, he was really surprised and thought to himself:

"I didn't read carefully, and it was dark under the lamp. I always remember that when Zhou Yu was the head of the village, he asked Lu Su to borrow grain. He thought Lu Su must have lived in the territory of Huizhou Province in the later generations, but he didn't expect that he was in northern Jiangsu. Zhou Yu was also idle enough, so he went so far to borrow grain? But it was also possible that Lu Su moved south due to war."

To put it a little bit, Qu County where the Mi Zhu family is located is roughly equivalent to Lianyungang in later generations. Quyang of Lu Su family is at the junction of Suqian and Lianyungang in later generations.

No matter what, Lu Su is still living in his hometown now.

After hearing about this unexpected gain, Li Su was also quite happy and was more motivated to rush. Lu Su's talent was much stronger than Mi Zhu, but he had less money, but Li Su now had enough financial support, and Daxian also had to win more attention.

"Let's go, hurry up and hurry up. We first leave Mangdang Mountain, get on the boat at the Sishui Wharf and rest." Li Su immediately rushed and ordered everyone to speed up. Be sure to go down the mountain and rush to the edge of Sishui before dark.

In this way, you can take the boat while you are sleeping at night. If other things are safe, you can think about it slowly after long-term plans.

The Li family caravan also wanted to do this, so the group rushed to the road without saying a word.

In the evening, I finally found a boatman who was responsible for work at a Sishui ferry between Pei County and Xiao County. The group rented a total of seven or eight small boats and went down the river.

After the night was quiet, Li Su lay in the cabin, stretched her head out of the tent and laid her on her arm. While looking at the starry sky, she was thinking about pulling people, and avoiding the smell of horse manure in the cramped space.

"Although Lu Su is a talented person, he mainly has a good diplomatic vision. His greatest achievement in history is nothing more than insisting on persuading Sun Quan not to surrender and insisting on the Sun-Liu alliance. Such a person, if placed in a friendly army, seems to have greater help to diplomatic relations than to put him here. Will there be any disadvantages after being brought over?

Forget it, Liu Bei's territory will definitely change in this life. I don't know who should be a diplomatic ally at that time. Since this is the case, there is no reason to let go of talents like Lu Su. Moreover, now this kind of "a great landlord with no fame but knowledgeable background" is difficult to find. I met such a person along the way."

After thinking about it, Li Su quickly squeezed out the hesitation of "Will recruiting Lu Su change history too harshly and have a counter-effect in future diplomacy?" Liu Bei in this life, if he wants to join forces, he will have a very small chance of joining Sun Quan. Maybe Sun Quan will not have the chance to take over his brother Sun Ce's position.

Why bother with things that will happen more than ten years later? Of course, it is all the benefits to put them all in your pocket. Only when children make choices, adults want them all.

...

The next day, the group arrived in Pengcheng.

Li Suben agreed to go with the Li family caravan, but the Li family caravan was in a hurry to go, but Li Su had to linger in each major city for one or two days to spread the remaining books that promoted Liu Bei's reputation, such as "Xiaoyi Lu", and invited him to buy reputation, so the two groups had to part ways temporarily.

However, Li Su and his team were quick, and Li Shan also agreed to wait at Xiaxiang Wharf in three days. If Li Su could catch up, Li Shan would wait for Li Su to go with him and go to the East China Sea by land.

Xiaxiang County is also Xiang Yu's hometown. It is the last ferry city on the Si Shui River on the Donghai Road. If you go east, you must take the land route.

On this day, after Li Su's understanding of the Li family caravan deepened, he also figured out a problem: Li Dian was valued by Cao Cao in history because the Li family actually occupied most of the local kings in Shanyang County, and Cao Cao was greedy for thousands of private soldiers of his family. Therefore, it was useless to recruit one Li Dian. Now the valuable person in the Li family is Li Dian's uncle, and his cousin in the future. It was Li Dian's turn to die after all. Without the support of the family, it would be useless to just dig Li Dian himself. So Li Su didn't think about this matter too much.

After the two sides acted separately, Li Su's first thing was to instruct Guan Yu to find a businessman in Pengcheng County, buy a few bags of lime, and then marinate all the heads of the bandits killed along the way with lime.

When we killed so many people yesterday, we had to keep the heads for Danyang to show our merits to Wu Qiuyi, which is considered as "we will open the way for the army to kill thieves", which can be exchanged for some merits.

However, if the fresh head is not handled, it is too easy to breed bacteria and infect diseases. Li Su's hygiene knowledge is much better than that of the ancients. Of course, he cannot joke about his own health and safety.

On the other hand, preparing to nod more will also be beneficial to Li Su's next stage of enticing talents. It can prove that they are not ordinary officials who are busy with their lives, but are truly killed by thieves. Maybe they can make those rich businessmen and tyrants look up to their futures even more.

These are all peripheral materials for psychological warfare.

When Guan Yu was picking up people's heads, Li Su also consigned some books to the same wealthy businessman in Pengcheng and inquire about some information. It was only after he sold the books that he realized that the largest merchants in Pengcheng County were also part of the Mi Zhu family. He had to sigh that the Mi Zhu family's business was so big.

The owner also proudly told Li Su: Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai and Guangling, the largest businessmen in the four counties of Pengcheng, Xiapi, Donghai and Guangling are all the Mi family. Only the local merchants in the north can barely squeeze out the Mi family.

If you can be the first in the six counties in Xuzhou and become the local one, there will be no one else in this force.

After learning this news, Li Su became even more determined to sell books first: Since the largest business names along the way are Mi Zhu, they sell more books in the Mi family's own business. As long as the distribution and sales are good, these managers will definitely report this business opportunity information to Mi Zhu.

In this way, before he visited Mi Zhu, he first bombed Mi Zhu, which made him feel that "the deeds of Liu Bei have spread all over the world, are very popular and have an unlimited future."

This is a very common method used in later business hype.

For example, in the early 1980s, Wang'an's computer stock price was very high in the US stock market, mainly because the popularity of this computer on Wall Street was very high. When financial industry was misled by the scene in front of them and felt that "the entire Wall Street uses Wang'an's computer to work, how could this company not be popular?", they ignored the mainstream poverty market.

Li Su used the same method to deal with Mi Zhu, and everyone in the rich people around him had a volume of "Xiaoyi Lu", so Mi Zhu would forget to think about the question of "whether the poor also know Liu Bei's deeds."

"Give more time to prepare for the people around Mi Zhu. I'll visit Lu Su first, hang Mi Zhu there, and bomb the saturated information for a few days." Li Su adjusted his strategy along the way, and when he reached the next phase, he had already made this decision.

...

On April 21, on the ninth day after separating from Wuqiuyi, Li Su and his team of twenty-three horsemen rushed to Quyang County, Donghai.

The whole county of Quyang is a plain, connected to the surrounding counties, with hundreds of miles of fertile land - just a little saline-alkali land near the sea.

Most of the Yancheng areas in later generations are still the sea. The mud and sand carried by the Huanghuai River will expand the land area of ​​northern Jiangsu by hundreds of feet eastward every year. In the next thousand years, a country with a width of one degree of longitude will grow out of thin air from the Yellow Sea.

This terrain naturally has the land that is soft and flat, and the irrigation is extremely convenient. It is a rare granary in Xuzhou in the late Han Dynasty.

"This place is still rich just by farming. No wonder it is generous." Li Su looked at the thriving wheat seedlings and nodded in praise.

The group asked about the path and headed straight to Lujiazhuang.

The rural farmers on the road, who heard Li Su ask about the Lu family, praised him for his righteousness and poverty. Even Guan Yu and Dian Wei, who were not very interested in this kind of tyrant who had never met, could clearly feel a little respect for Lu Su after hearing too much.

"In such a chaotic era, there are even tyrants who don't take the opportunity to merge with poor peasants' land, but instead sell land for money and grain to help the poor. It's really rare." Guan Yu was quite moved when he thought of the big families in his hometown who were killed by him.

After walking for another half an hour, Lujiazhuang was in front of him. Li Su looked around and saw that the farmhouse next to him was clean and purified, which was obviously better than the tenant farmers seen in other places in this troubled world.

This field is at least hundreds of hectares. If you have to plant so many land, you have to have hundreds of tenants. It seems that you are one of the top landlords in this county.

When he walked to the front of the village, Li Su politely asked someone to inform him.

...

Lu Su was 16 years old and died at the age of four, and had no uncle at home, so he lived with his grandmother and aunt since childhood. Five years ago, his grandmother passed away, and only his mother and aunt were at home. At that time, he was too young, so the affairs of Zhuangzi were taken care of by his uncle who married into his family.

In the past two years, Lu Su has been barely aged, and his uncle, as a foreigner, handed over the management power to him again. The reputation of the Lu family's righteous wealth and wealth assistance has only increased in the past two years.

Lu Su was reading this day, and he happened to be reading the newly purchased printed versions of "Er Ya" and "Xiao Yi Lu" - "The Analects of Confucius", because he memorized the handwritten versions at home, so there was no need to waste any more money.

His servant came in and reported: "Shaojun, a group of officers and soldiers outside the village arrived. The leader claimed to be Li Su, a different leader of Youzhou, and said that he was ordered by the imperial court to go to Guangling County to recruit Danyang troops to fight against the thieves. He came by to ask for a visit."

Lu Su was stunned. Just as he was about to roll up the scroll, he suddenly remembered something and glanced at the end of the scroll: "Don't let Li Su drive you in Youzhou? Why do you have the same name as Li Su who wrote "Xiaoyi Lu"? However, Li is a big surname, it's not surprising, but they are all from Youzhou... Please!"

Out of curiosity, Lu Su immediately sorted out his clothes and went out to greet him in person.

As soon as he walked to the door, Lu Su was slightly shocked by the image of the visitor again.

It turned out that Li Su and his team rode twenty-three, and each horse had three neatly pickled heads hanging around the neck of each horse! The total number was sixty-nine.

There were yellow turbans wrapped around people's heads, but these yellow turbans were actually faked by Li Su. Originally, not everyone was wrapped around these bandits. Li Su also despised the dirty things wrapped around people's heads and easily had germs, so they were all burned.

He bought a jute cloth when he was in Pengcheng. After marinating the heads, he pulled dozens of clean new yellow cloths to fake it, and then killed a chicken to dye the chicken blood and make it old.

As for the chicken, of course, it was eaten by Li Su.

Seeing such a group of officers and soldiers appear, Lu Su suddenly felt a sharp aura coming to his face.

"These officers and soldiers are different from what they have seen in the past! They are all real heroes!" Lu Su's heart was instantly imprinted, and he took a deep breath, "Do you dare to ask if you are Li Su, who was once an official of Zongzheng's Mansion? Have you read this volume of "Xiaoyi Lu"?"

"It turns out that Brother Lu also read the book written by Brother Yu, and that's really fate." Li Su said modestly on the horse's back.

"I never thought that Brother Boya was surrendering and made the humble house shine brightly. Please! Brother Boya has heard of the deeds written by him for a long time. Recently, he received this book and read it in person, which made people's blood boil. I wish I could save the country and life like Liu Liangxiang, and have both filial piety and righteousness."

(Note: Liu Bei's official position is the magistrate of Liangxiang County. This information has spread all over the world now, so Lu Su called him Liu Bei's official position)
