For two consecutive days, Wang Xuan was not in a hurry to talk about anything with the Lu family and the Gu family, as if there were not so many rioters in his territory, he wandered leisurely throughout Wu County every day.
Maybe it seemed to others that he was just wandering around in the sky, but in fact, Wang Xuan was busy with business.
Wang Xuan knew what Jiangnan was like during the Ming Dynasty, but this was the first time he had a closer look at Jiangnan during the late Han Dynasty. He needed to take a closer look and compare it with the Ming Dynasty in his mind, so that he could have a complete idea of the future development of Jiangnan.
strategy.
As for the relationship with the Gu and Lu families, Wang Xuan thought it was not worth mentioning at all.
I spent the past two days resting at the Cui family's residence, and two days later Zhu Heng from the Zhu family in Danyang finally arrived.
After everyone had arrived, Wang Xuan stopped conducting any inspection work, and the negotiation with the three companies officially started. As for the location, Wang Xuan decided on Taihu Lake.
Wouldn't it be nice to talk about things while boating on Taihu Lake and admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains? At least it's much better than talking about such things in a conference room.
"I thought that when I came here, Wang Xuan should have talked with his nephew Lu Jiaxian first, but I didn't expect that he would ask me and the other three families to discuss it together." Zhu Heng, who had made an appointment first and had a short beard, said with some surprise.
"It's very unexpected. I wonder what the Imperial Master's idea is? Isn't he afraid that we will speak loudly together?" Gu Yong also didn't understand Wang Xuan's approach.
"Maybe, it doesn't matter." Lu Xun raised his eyes and looked at the vast sea-like Taihu Lake, and said in a faint voice.
"What?" Zhu Heng and Gu Yong both looked at Lu Xun, somewhat suspicious that they heard something in their ears.
Doesn't matter?
It doesn't matter what it is, this is a major matter that affects the direction of the entire Jiangdong. Any concession will involve the interests of countless people, so how can it be indifferent?
"Otherwise?" Lu Xun's eyes did not turn to the two of them but were a little lost. Wang Xuan's figure from that day seemed to appear in front of him again. It seemed that he was showing off to him and Gu Yong, but Lu Xun felt that it was extremely unreal.
Thinking about it afterwards, it was just a simple indifferent attitude.
"He is the national advisor of the Han Dynasty. His eyes are on the whole world. Moreover, the imperial advisor does not even look down on the title of the Han Dynasty. He is not interested in fame and wealth. Otherwise, how could he be trusted by the King of Han."
"Impossible!" Zhu Heng and Gu Yong looked at each other, and both of them snorted heavily. They didn't know whether it was dissatisfaction with Lu Xun or something else. Anyway, they didn't believe it, and they had to not believe it.
Otherwise, it would seem that what the two of them have been fighting for their entire lives is too petty.
In fact, no matter how history evaluates Gu Yong, Zhu Heng and others, it is impossible for them to catch up with Zhou Yu, because in history, when Cao Cao attacked, Zhou Yu was the only one who took the lead in the battle. Other than that, they were all for the sake of preserving the family.
And those who want to grovel.
With such a group of people, how could Wang Xuan like them?
At this point, the atmosphere suddenly became depressing, and the three of them shut up and stopped talking, each thinking about their own concerns.
Zhu Heng and Gu Yong were thinking about how to seek benefits and how to expand their family's power, while Lu Xun tried to look at Jiangdong's issues from Wang Xuan's perspective.
This may be the reason why Lu Xun will be the fourth governor of Jiangdong in the future.
Without waiting too long, Wang Xuan arrived with Zhao Yun, and the three of them quickly stepped forward to greet them.
When we got to the boat, they drank tea and exchanged greetings. Wang Xuan also dealt with it in a haha manner. For a long time, he couldn't get to the main topic. Wang Xuan was not in a hurry, and just waited for the Zhu and Gu families to express their stance.
After another full half hour, Zhu Heng finally lost his composure and tried: "Jiangdong is barren, sparsely populated, and mountainous disasters are difficult to quell. This is very different from the Central Plains. Common people cannot effectively protect their land.
Therefore, it is impossible to divide the fields into households."
Everyone knows that no big family emerged under Liu Bei's rule, and handing over land is the first step. This is something that the Jiangdong family must not admit. These lands were cultivated by their ancestors for generations, so how could they be willing to hand it over.
"Yeah, yeah." Wang Xuan nodded, noncommittal.
"In addition, Jiangdong and the capital are thousands of miles apart, and there is no effective communication at all. If everything has to be reported to the capital and then waited for a decision, it may not be able to deal with various emergencies, and the administrative efficiency will be low, resulting in government affairs being blocked." Gu Yong added.
, they don’t want to lose their autonomy.
"Yeah, yeah." Wang Xuan continued to nod, noncommittal, and looked at Lu Xun.
"The Lu family relies on the imperial master and the two elders to make the decision." Lu Xun smiled slightly and watched the excitement as if it had nothing to do with him.
Zhu Heng and Gu Yong glanced at Lu Xun and cursed cunning in their hearts. However, Lu Xun said that he was a junior, so the two of them could not let Lu Xun charge in front.
Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lu Xun meaningfully, and looked at Zhu and Gu again, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"In order to deal with the Shanyue barbarians, a certain degree of military strength must be maintained."
Gu Yong rolled his eyes and continued: "On the east coast of the Yangtze River, the shipbuilding and navigation industries are not developed enough. I hope the imperial court can provide some support."
"There is a lack of iron in Jiangdong and it is very difficult to develop everywhere. I hope the imperial court will provide support."
Seeing that Wang Xuan just nodded as if he was talking nicely, Zhu Heng continued to say more aggressively: "Jiangdong is plagued by pestilence and the population is sparse. I hope the imperial court can relocate the population here."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Heng and Gu Yong stared at Wang Xuan.
"Is there anything else?" Wang Xuan asked with a smile.
The two shook their heads repeatedly. This was already too much. Sun Ce didn't have such good conditions when he was here. No, he didn't have half of this. The two of them were now waiting for Wang Xuan to bargain.
"Are you sure it's gone?"
"It's definitely gone!"
"Since these are the only requirements you two have, then the matter is settled." Wang Xuan suddenly stood up and said with a serious face.
"ah!?"
"What?"
Zhu Heng and Gu Yong stood up and looked at Wang Xuan with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Subconsciously looking at each other, the two of them saw a look of solemnity in each other's eyes. In their own opinion, the price they were asking for was too much, but Wang Xuan agreed immediately. This was so simple and weird that the two of them couldn't help it.
I don't doubt there is fraud involved.
Who is Wang Xuan?
The family that has been destroyed for countless thousands of years has been destroyed. It is said that the master who can explode two ounces of oil from the slag of his bones is cunning, treacherous, insidious, and vicious. These series of epithets cannot be overstated for Wang Xuan, but now he is like this
It's easy to talk, but this is simply impossible.
Is there some trap here, is Wang Xuan planning some evil plan?
"Why, I agreed to the terms of your family and you want to go back on it?" Wang Xuan's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes without any warmth were fixed on the two of them, "Or are you trying to amuse me?
Someone Wang!"
"Don't you think that someone like me, the king, will not grind your whole family into a pulp?"
It smells bad!
That’s what it feels like!
Wang Xuan suddenly became fierce. Gu Yong and Zhu Heng only felt their two bodies trembling, and they could not suppress the fear in their bodies, but they felt relieved in their hearts.
Is this what the legendary Wang Xuan should look like?
If you had just said no to us like this, there would be no doubts.
"No doubts, no regrets." The two of them waved their hands quickly and said sincerely: "Everything is in accordance with the requirements of the Imperial Master, and our two families will comply with everything."
