After discussing the matter of building a house, Mr. Lu stepped back and sat down. Lord Xinling looked very excited and said: "If the ministers follow your orders, the governor of the city will prosper, and he will share it with all the ministers!"

Zheng Anping and others all bowed down and said, "How dare you, ministers!"

Lord Xinling said: "The plan proposed by your ministers is beneficial to the family and the country. I hope Mr. Lu can plan it well!"

Mr. Lu said: "It makes sense." He turned to the other side and said: "When you are here, you can visit your homeland!"

Zheng Anping and others said: "But it depends on the assignment of the teacher!"

While he was talking, two retainers came over carrying a basket of gold cakes. They put the basket inside the door, then exited and reported: "The salary of the disciples is worth eighteen gold."

The five people in the seat bowed and thanked each other: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Lord Xinling said: "There are many princes and ministers, all of whom are subordinate to me. I have only a few resources to prepare rewards. All the funds for building the house are prepared by Mr. Lu, so you have nothing to worry about!"

The five people in the audience bowed again and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhang Ye and Mr. Zhong Yue carried the basket in front of the five-person seat together. The people in Wei Gongzi's mansion were very considerate. Each salary was wrapped with a purple silk and a small bamboo slip with each person's official title written on it.

, inserted on the package; the purple silk is long and thick, and there is no problem in taking it home to make clothes. It is worth four or five hundred yuan at least; although the salary is calculated in gold, one gold of it is converted into copper coins in the treasury.

, so everyone’s packages were equally bulging, and at a glance, they couldn’t tell much apart. Zhang and Yue took out their salaries according to the signs and presented them to them one by one. Everyone took them respectfully without opening them, so they just

He tied it on his back. Not to mention the weight of gold, five thousand copper coins alone weighed more than fifty kilograms. It was still very heavy to carry on his back.

Lord Xinling seemed to be very considerate of everyone's heavy burden and said: "I wanted to ask for advice, but I couldn't do it. I just have to wait for the day to come!"

Mr. Lu said: "It is not too late to build a house in Guan's old capital. I hope to start in two days. We will meet in Jixian Township."

Everyone said: "Here!"

Everyone had to bear a heavy burden, and even the soldiers felt it was difficult. Everyone stopped chatting, left the south gate, and went home.

Although he was mentally prepared, Zheng Anping was still surprised when he opened the purple silk package in the side room. The eyes were full of golden colors, various shapes, in bunches, and scattered, which almost dazzled people's eyes——

Although it was very dark inside the wing, they were still inside the firewood pile.

Zhang Lu was also very excited. So much money seemed to be a distant dream to him, and now, it should be time to wake up from the dream. He felt that if he could make good use of this money, it would be easy to make ten times the profit.

Before Zheng Anping could say anything, Zhang Lu had already begun to allocate the money: "The chief, the wizard's office, but if you have some spare time, you should pay it first." He broke off two gold leaves. Zheng Anping didn't want the money to be broken before it was warm.

He was a little angry and said: "Sir, I would rather not postpone it!"

Zhang Lu said: "Business war is like military war, how can it be slowed down?" He also broke off two pieces of gold leaves and said: "Strike with an iron pick, an iron blade, and an iron hammer. Make sure the iron is fine, not rough."

Zheng Anping snatched it away and said: "When I didn't move, I already had four cakes gone. How can I be embarrassed like this? I hope you can slow down!"

Zhang Ludao: "Wandering in doubt is a taboo for military strategists. When using troops, they should advance one by one, advance in formation, and retreat and avoid it? The same is true with money. I and you formed a money formation at the wrong time, so

You are not allowed to enter."

Seeing Zhang Lu's serious face, Zheng Anping reluctantly handed back the folded gold cake.

Zhang Lu handed the gold cake back and said, "You can give three pigs to get calves, piglets, chickens, lambs and other items." After thinking for a while, he broke off a piece and said, "I will be a servant in charge of the city.

Muye."

Zheng Anping said: "How can you get a lot by hiring a boy?"

Zhang Ludao: "For your own benefit, the city lord should be your servant, and the city lord's fee is also indispensable! I want it!"

Zheng Anping seemed to understand somewhat and nodded. Then he said: "It's almost midwinter. Sir and I only have silk robes left. I would like to ask for money to buy cotton robes."

Zhang Lu said: "What kind of cotton robe do you want, young master? One or two thousand yuan for the lower grade ones, and twenty thousand yuan for the upper grade ones is still not enough."

Zheng Anping wanted to explain, but Zhang Lu stopped him and said: "Wearing a cotton robe, how can you bear the weight of a halberd? How can you lift your feet lightly? How can you move forward with all your strength? What is lost and what is gained? I hope you will think about it!"

"

Zheng Anping said: "If I were the king of Wei, I would definitely take your head! But Mianpao Er, how can I be like this?"

Zhang Lu said: "Raising an army for a thousand days, would you rather spend it on lotuses and carrying dung? This gold is a reward for giving up your life and forgetting about death. Would you rather spend it all with a cotton robe? The son's creation is only a cotton robe?"

Zheng Anping said: "Come on, let's talk about it, how can I get a horse for you? I will give you this gold, I hope you will march your troops and set up formations, kill generals and hold flags, rush thousands of miles, and achieve unparalleled achievements!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu's voice trembled a little as he said, "This is my long-cherished wish. I hope you will help me!"

Zheng Anping was taken aback, and he quickly saluted and said: "I dare not disobey Sir's teachings. If you forget your feelings for profit and use conflicting words, Sir, you will be held responsible!"

Zhang Ludao: "The way a saint establishes the world is to deny himself and do good, to help the world without self. What is difficult for me to do, I hope you can do it!"

Zheng Anping said: "I would like to follow your teacher's advice!"

Zhang Lu said: "If you want to help the world, what should you do?"

Zheng Anping said: "The only way to help the world is to help the common people, make them rich, and teach them. Now I dare not take the world as my responsibility, but I would like to let it be managed. The way of the common people's management is based on farming and livestock; the way of rich management

, it ends with merchants; the way of education and discipline begins with Xiangxu. Is this true?"

Zhang Lu said: "Although it is not perfect, it is possible to achieve some tricks. Now I want to be in charge of the common people, but I don't want to manage the people, but I don't want to control the fields; I manage the people and they are all businessmen, but the soldiers are not rich, what can I do?"

Zheng Anping said: "If the people are close to the merchants and are far away from the fields, it is easy to avoid danger. However, if the foundation is not solid, how can it be achieved if the branches are luxuriant? Therefore, the people are few and poor."

Zhang Lu said: "If you want to be a commoner, what can you do?"

Zheng Anping said: "It's just to persuade farmers."

Zhang Lu said: "Although the way is clear, the method is not understood. The people tend to avoid danger and take the easy way, but they also turn their backs on the humble and turn to the noble. If a person who is strong in the field is noble, he will not avoid it even if there are dangers and obstacles. A gentleman will not do well.

If it is profitable, then it will not work if it is easy.”

Zheng Anping said: "But what I am confused about is, if there is no profit, how can you get rich?"

Zhang Lu said: "The gentleman lives below it, and the water returns to it, so he gets rich. The last one buys cheaply and sells dearly, this is the bottom. When others abandon me, I take it, and when others take it, I take it. I live in the world without competition, among which

That is, to benefit the world by benefiting the world, and above. If farmers do not come out, they will lack food; if workers do not come out, they will lack work; if businessmen do not come out, the three treasures will be gone; if there are no fish and fisheries, there will be little wealth. These four are none

Everything is indispensable, nothing is indispensable, but agriculture is the foundation. If the roots are deep, the leaves will be luxuriant, and it is inevitable. Therefore, we should only focus on agriculture and do not take away from others. Wealth will follow. Therefore, even if the wealth is at the end, a gentleman

It’s the beginning and not the end.”

Zheng Anping said: "I heard before that I was in charge of the merchants in the city, and my husband also ordered me to take care of them. How can I do things first and not teach them the end?"

Zhang Ludao: "It can be done originally, but what can be done at the end? Zhe, the original; Ge Ji, the end. The person who kills people, the Ge Ji; and the person who should hold it is the Zhe. To abandon the original and chase the end is like

Holding a spear and halberd upside down and teaching people with it, isn't it dangerous?"

Zheng Anping said: "Sir, what you mean is to use business and not encourage business. But encourage farmers, and business will come!"

Zhang Lu said: "Farmers, workers, merchants, and entrepreneurs, none of them are indispensable, and none of them are indispensable. Why be so eager and dedicated to seek help from merchants? To benefit the world by benefiting the world, there is no one left behind. This is the way to be rich."

"

Zheng Anping did not give up and continued: "Tao is among the world. Zhu Gong relied on it to become the best in the world. Today, Tao is still called it. Guan is also among the world. Why can't we only become rich through business?"

"

Zhang Lu said: "Young master, do you also know that Tao and Zhu Gong have gone out to the sea, plowed on the seaside, and worked hard, and they have achieved yield. Tao people are the ones in the world, and all the water returns to them. They are rich, and they are not alone in business."

Ye. When Duke Tao and Zhu Gong arrived, the father and his son plowed livestock and abandoned their houses. They turned things around and chased the tithes of profits. How could they be alone in business? This is not the case with today's management. Although there are many ditches and horizontal ditches, they are not accessible to boats. The river can be diverted by human power.

It is connected to Daliang. Although there are people from all directions, it cannot be the best in the world. If the prince, after advocating for farmers, wants to be a merchant, he can move to the shore and set up a Tianjin as a place for merchants. It is also a good place to enter the Liang Dynasty."

Zheng Anping said: "I heard that Guan leads to Luoyang in the west, Daliang in the east, Zheng State in the south, and Handan in the north. Isn't this out of the ordinary in the world?"

Zhang Lu scolded: "This is the place in the world where there are four battles. There is no danger. But if there is an advantage, the four sides gather to fight. If there is no advantage, the four sides gather to fight. This is also in the world.

Ye! What kind of virtue will the young master rely on?"

Zheng Anping said: "If it is what you say, sir, would it be better for me to waste all my efforts and work in vain?"

Zhang Lu said: "Young Master, you are a military soldier. If you defend the place where the four battles are fought, you would rather work hard and achieve no results? You should only be accustomed to battle formations, be proficient in the art of war, break through Zunzu, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. This is what I hope for in the Young Master."

Zheng Anping said: "This is a man. Although I believe that Lord Ling can't do anything to him, I am as stupid as I am. How can I dare to look at this!"

Zhang Ludao: "Young Master is the first to mention Lord Xinling, because he has seen things and understood the principles. Although Guan Yi is a small city, it cannot be managed by the order of a mere sergeant. During this period, he supports the main body, assists the end, attacks and defends, and coordinates internally.

Diplomacy is about the same country."

Zheng Anping said: "You know it. If you can manage the governance of the city and the way of governing the country, it will be like a commoner! ... It's a pity that you are not the one!"

Zhang Ludao: "Young Master, you should not despise yourself. You can save your ministers with just one word, but you can save your life by sacrificing your life. You have no doubts. If you don't have profound virtue and righteousness, how can you achieve this? But if you have virtue and righteousness, everything can be accomplished."

, there is no merit without success, and there is no cause without success.”

Zheng Anping said: "I never expected that I would be praised as 'profound virtue and profound justice'."

Zhang Ludao: "The virtues of the young master do not come from intention, but from nature, which is based on heaven. It is a pure and good part of nature, and the goodness of nature can be compared to the sun and the moon. But the worldly things are tainted, and the precious mirror is covered with dust. If you wipe it from time to time,

Natural light.”

Zheng Anping said: "Now that you have received Sir's attention, you should carefully accept your teachings and be diligent in looking at things. I also hope that Sir will not give up or leave, and do not give up because of stupidity!"

Zhang Ludao: "The career of a prince is also the career of a minister. You should do your best to achieve results. How dare you abandon it!"
