Chapter 563 Ask for advice
"Xianyi, why did you come to my place today?" Since Lu Bu was the acting general of Jizhou, in order to avoid suspicion, he had always lived in the camp outside the city.
"Marquis Wen, my nephew came here today to discuss something." Yuan Xi lowered his attitude and complimented Lu Bu.
Although he understood that Lu Bu was not a talented person in domestic affairs, after all, Lu Bu had also been a prince, and he knew more about this aspect than himself.
"What's the matter?" Lu Bu looked confused. He didn't know much about the situation in Yecheng right now.
After all, Liu Xie had already made a rule that civil and military forces were not allowed to interfere with each other.
Assuming that Yuan Xi has not arrived in Jizhou yet, it would make sense for him, as the general of Jizhou, to act as the governor of Jizhou.
But now that Yuan Xi has arrived, if he interferes in the government affairs of Jizhou, it will arouse Liu Xie's suspicion.
Lu Bu now feels that his life is quite good. The emperor has reused him so that he can ride on the battlefield. He drinks good wine every day and beats Yuan Shao conveniently. He lives a happy life.
Therefore, he will not make himself unhappy and interfere in Jizhou's government affairs.
Now facing Yuan Xi's words, Lu Bu said that he did not understand. He did not know what happened in Jizhou.
"Marquis Wen, regarding the negotiation of the new deal, I have sent people to various aristocratic families. The business family expressed their willingness to come to Yecheng to discuss, but the official family declined."
"So my nephew doesn't know what to do about this matter and whether the negotiation should be held as scheduled." Yuan Xi looked at a loss.
When Lu Bu heard Yuan Xi's words, he immediately frowned.
He had no idea at the moment.
If you want to say that it will be held as scheduled, then almost all the aristocratic families in Jizhou will not be present, so what is the meaning of this negotiation?
But if you say it won’t be held, that’s no good either. After all, the New Deal is a national policy. If it’s not held just because they don’t come, wouldn’t it be treating the national policy as a trifle?

"Xianyi, this matter is a bit difficult to handle. For a moment, I can't make up my mind." Lu Bu also had some difficulties.
"Does Marquis Wen also find it difficult?" Although Yuan Xi had been mentally prepared, he was still a little disappointed when Lu Bu really said that.
"If the palace were here, he would definitely have a good idea." Lu Bu looked regretful, but after a moment, he thought of something.
Although Chen Gong is not here, he can contact Chen Gong. Not only Chen Gong, but also Boss Cao.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu just said hello to Yuan Xi and asked him to wait in the tent, and then ran to find Jingtian, asking him to contact Boss Cao.
After a while, Lu Bu returned to the tent with a happy face.
"Marquis Wen, is there a result?" Yuan Xi looked at the happy expression and asked quickly.
Lu Bu did not answer, but nodded. He originally planned to directly tell the result of his discussion with Boss Cao, but after thinking about it, he felt that Yuan Xi would have to stand alone in the future.
He also knew that Yuan Xi was not valued by Yuan Shao before, so he did not have much experience in handling internal affairs.
Lu Bu felt that on the one hand, he was very likely to become a regular general from acting as Jizhou general and stationed in Jizhou, so it was necessary for him to have a good relationship with Yuan Xi.
On the other hand, it was because, what did Yuan Xi say, he called himself uncle, and he had to take care of Yuan Xi more or less?
Therefore, Lu Bu decided that he should teach Yuan Xi well on behalf of Yuan Shao, not only for Yuan Xi's good, but also to reduce his worries in the future.
"Xianyi, have you ever thought about why we want all the aristocratic families in Jizhou to come to Yecheng?" Lu Bu asked.
"Of course it's for His Majesty's new policy." Yuan Xi said directly without thinking.
"Then have you ever thought about what the New Deal is for?" Lu Bu asked again.
When Yuan Xi heard Lu Bu's words, he was stunned.
Yes, what is the purpose of convening the aristocratic families for discussion? Isn't it just to take back the rights from the aristocratic families?
What are you discussing with them? Could it be that if those official families don’t agree, Jizhou will not implement the New Deal?
Therefore, whether they come from an official family or not, they cannot change any outcome. It is just that one of them agrees and the other does not.
If that's the case, then why do you still care whether they come or not, and whether they agree or not?
Even speaking, it seems better if they don't come. At least the business families who agree to come now are all the families who have already agreed.
With them here, Yuan Xi felt that he could forcibly pass the New Deal resolutions. Without these people from official families, things would go much smoother.
"Thank you Marquis Wen, my nephew has understood!" Yuan Xi bowed respectfully to Lu Bu and thanked Lu Bu for his advice.
"It's good that you understand. You should hurry back to the city to arrange negotiations, right? I also need to be prepared."
"Mengde told me that people from those aristocratic families will never be honest, and they might even cause trouble."
"I will never allow this gang of thieves to make Jizhou miserable again." Lu Bu said this and clenched his fist vigorously.
A murderous aura arose spontaneously, and Yuan Xi was shocked and at a loss.
As if sensing Yuan Xi's abnormality, Lu Bu regained his momentum.
"Marquis Wen, my nephew still has some matters in the city that need to be prepared in advance, so I will leave first."
When Lu Bu heard Yuan Xi's words, he waved his hand directly, indicating that he could leave first.
After receiving permission, Yuan Xife ran out of Lu Bu's tent like flying.
After running outside the camp, Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say that Yuan Xi is really a little afraid of Lu Bu now. A general like Lu Bu has risen to the top step by step from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The murderous aura in his body can completely scare a timid person to death. However, now, no matter how murderous Lu Bu is, it has nothing to do with him.
Because Lu Bu was targeting other aristocratic families, he is now from Lu Bu's side.
After comforting himself for a while, Yuan Xi galloped back to Yecheng.
Although Yuan Xi no longer intends to force people from official and official families to come to Yecheng, Yuan Xi thinks that people from business families should still treat guests well.
Therefore, after Yuan Xi returned to Yecheng, he sent someone to deliver a letter to the business families in Jizhou, inviting them to come to Yecheng early next month to discuss the new deal.
Yuan Xi's order soon reached the ears of those officials and aristocratic families.
However, even at this time, these official families still did not take Yuan Xi seriously.
In their view, Yuan Xi is just the most disliked son of Yuan Shao. He has no ability and no one wants to buy him. How can he host such a meeting?
Another point is that from the perspective of these official families, Yuan Xi would not be able to secure Jizhou without their help.
Now Yuan Xi desperately hopes that they can go to Yecheng, because he just wants to take advantage of them.
