    "Really Lu, I'm going to get down to business first, and I'll chat later when I have time."

    Su Shi cupped his fists, and then ran away, walking in a hurry.

    Although it is said that this little fat man likes to eat snacks outside all day long and also likes to brag, but when it is time to do business, he will still be serious.

    Lu Sen smiled, and after paying the bill, he continued shopping with a paper umbrella.

    After walking around, I came to Liu Yong's house.

    A row of fences surrounded a small yard, and inside there was a little boy stepping on the snow, laughing happily.

    And in the hall of the courtyard, Liu Yong, whose hair was completely white, was holding a bamboo cage with both hands, and there were two sounds of red charcoal burning inside, silently guarding his only son.  .

    Then he saw Lu Sen and immediately laughed.

    After a while, the two sat down in the hall and drank around the charcoal stove.

    Lu Sen felt that he had been drinking all day. He drank with Lu Xianxian and the others at home in the morning, drank with Su Shi just now, and now drank with Liu Yong.

    Taking a sip of warm wine, Liu Yong said with a smile: "Lu Longtu a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion! Do you know that when I was still thinking about becoming an official, I really wanted this official position."

    Lu Sen is quite aware of this point. Liu Yong used to be a bit of a fan of officials, but he didn't have real official talent. Not to mention the comparison with Bao Zheng, the talent for being an official is far worse than Su Shi.

    You must know that Su Shi's "straightness" is also very famous, and he often offends people with words, but in the original history, Su Shi also got the virtual street of "Longtuge Zhishi".

    Except for writing lyrics, Liu Yong's other abilities are really average compared to these monsters.

    "It's just a way for the court to win people's hearts." Lu Sen shook his head: "Even if you give me a Wang Dang with a different surname, it's meaningless."

    "My treasure is his discarded shoe." Liu Yong smiled helplessly. It's not that he didn't look away, but he felt a little pity.

    It is the lifelong wish of these Confucian masters to be an official, to be an official of parents, and to serve the country and the people.

    Lu Sen didn't care. Liu Yong no longer had the heart to insist on becoming an official. He just felt sorry for Lu Sen.

    It's just that the two people's thoughts are not on the same channel at all, and their three views are different.

    Lu Sen then changed the subject and said, "The last time I came here, I heard you said that you were going to leave Hangzhou after the Chinese New Year? You were in a hurry and didn't come to elaborate. Can you talk about it now?"

    "It is indeed going to Guangzhou." Liu Yong sighed: "my wife parted with her family when she was young, but after she had spare money, she couldn't find her relatives. Recently, I met an old acquaintance, and after talking carefully, I found out that her relatives  The whole family went to Guangzhou."

    Lu Sen was stunned for a moment: "I remember Mrs. Liu was sold to a brothel by her family back then."

    Liu Yong showed a wry smile: "Yes. It's just that my wife is affectionate after all. She often said that at that time the family was so poor that it was impossible to sell her. Now that she knows where her family is, she wants to go back to where she was.  Parents are filial."

    Lu Sen has nothing to say now.

    If you don't experience the suffering of others, you don't know the difficulties of others.

    It's just that he has doubts: "What about you? What do you think?"

    "Liu is alone and has no relatives for a long time. If he borrows the help of his wife and has relatives by his side, it will be considered a happy event."

    Hearing this, Lu Sen fully understood that the two of them were too lonely, that's why they had this idea.

    Now the Northern Song Dynasty is a society of acquaintances. Both Liu Yong and his wife grew up in such an era. In their subconscious mind, they felt that they needed to survive in the society of acquaintances.  Breaking away from the social network of acquaintances, they will instinctively feel uneasy and insecure.

    And although Lu Sen and Liu Yong are acquainted, they are not relatives, at most they are friends.

    "Then I wish you all the best." Lu Sen didn't persuade, but smiled: "Give me a letter of approval when you set off, and I'll see you off when the time comes."

    Liu Yonggong cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master Lu."

    About half an hour later, Lu Sen returned to the cave, and the stool was still warm, when he heard the general A Huang come to report: "Mr. Zhang, Zhang Yuanwai from Bitian Pavilion just came. Please come to your Bitian Pavilion."  Let¡¯s go, the Nanshan Club¡¯s boat is back.¡±

    Lu Sen was stunned for a moment, so fast?

    So he didn't have dinner, but went directly to Bitian Pavilion.

    At this time, the Bitian Pavilion is decorated with lights and festoons, and people come and go.

    As soon as Lu Sen arrived, Zhang Yuanwai, who was waiting outside, immediately came up to meet him, and said happily, "Really Lu, Lin Yuanwai and the others are waiting for you inside."

    When Lu Sen entered Bitian Pavilion, he saw a group of sea merchants sitting in the lobby on the first floor, chatting happily.

    thep; The 'amount' set by Lu Sen before was considered, and it is impossible for everyone to get it.

    Sure enough Among the seventeen people, only six people have the ability to exchange for a flat peach, and the rest have to "partner" to exchange.

    Lin Yuanwai was one of them, and he was also the first to switch to Pantao.

    After getting the flat peach, he didn't eat it immediately, but carefully put it in his arms and kept it.

    A sea merchant next to him asked curiously, "Why doesn't Member Lin eat it?"

    "Keep it for the old mother at home!" Member Lin smiled brightly: "Ms. Lin is in good health, free from disease and pain. The old mother at home is getting old, her body is getting weaker, and she often suffers from colds and bone pains.  You should be ten years younger, and you won't suffer from wind disease."

    Everyone couldn't help but praise Lin for his filial piety.

    The second fat businessman who traded flat peaches ate the peaches on the spot. Everyone watched his wrinkles decrease a lot, and even saw a pile of fat oozing from his skin, and he lost more than ten catties.  The whole person became strong and vigorous.

    The sea merchant took off his clothes, called someone to bring a towel, and while wiping his body, he laughed excitedly on the spot as he watched the loose fat change into delicate tendon.

    Bystanders were stunned, and then their eyes seemed to burst into flames. Looking at the flat peaches, they all wanted to swallow them all in one gulp.

    It's just that they looked at Lu Sen who was sitting behind the table, so no one dared to mess around.

    The flat peaches entered the stomachs of these sea merchants one by one, and there was no dispute among those who bought them in partnership, because they had already negotiated that whoever would eat first would eat second.

    Lu Sen put the remaining four flat peaches back into the system backpack, then smiled and looked at the sea merchants in front of him.

    These sea merchants also looked at him, their eyes full of undisguised greed.

    Lu Sen tapped the table with his fingers lightly, this is his habitual action: "Lu Mou saw the desire for gluttony in your eyes."

    Taotie generally refers to foodies in later generations, but in serious ancient books, it refers to greed.

    After these words came out, everyone felt a little ashamed, but no one put away their greed because of this, even Lin Yuanwai was no exception.

    Lu Sen continued: "There is nothing to be ashamed of. If a businessman is not greedy, how can he be a businessman?"

    At first they thought Lu Sen was talking ironically, but seeing Lu Sen's serious expression, which was not the case, they felt a little strange.

    "You are not greedy, how can I ask you to do things for me." Lu Sen said with a smile: "I will continue to collect gems. Besides Tianzhu, there are countries rich in gems. I will accept as many gems as you can bring back."

    Everyone suddenly felt a burst of peace of mind.

    People are greedy for money, and even more greedy for life.

    Maritime merchants know very well that under normal circumstances, money cannot buy life, but now that there is a huge opportunity in front of them, of course they have to seize it desperately.

    If you miss it, let alone this life, it is impossible to meet it in the next dozen or so lives.

    Lu Sen was quite satisfied when he saw their faces that were going crazy with joy.

    The gems in the world are 'limited', and there are indeed a lot of gems in Tianzhu, but they cannot withstand the desperate efforts of these merchants to bring them back.

    When there are fewer gemstones in Tianzhu, the price will naturally increase.

    Then, because of the cost, these merchants are looking for new sources of gemstones, and they themselves will find ways to find gemstones all over the world.

    If you are unwilling to engage in the "Great Geographic Discovery", then I will force you to do it.

    The other thing is paper cannot contain fire.

    After these people who ate cricket peaches go back, they will definitely be asked by others why they have become younger.

    After inquiring again, knowing that Lu Sen collected gems and sold flat peaches, why don't you build a boat and run out?

    When thousands of sails and thousands of sails flow into the sea, Lu Sen will not believe it. This way, the "Northern Song Dynasty" version of the Great Geographical Discovery can't be made?

    At this moment, Merchant Hai smiled happily, and so did Lu Sen.

    Everyone felt that they had earned it, a real win-win situation.

    When Lu Sen left Bitian Pavilion and walked into the alley, a young man in white suddenly appeared in front of him.

    "Brother Bai, please protect the forest member. I'm afraid someone will harm him. Until he brings the flat peach home and feeds it to his mother." After speaking, Lu Sen handed over a flat peach: "This is the reward."

    This white-clothed young man is of course Bai Yutang. He looked at the flat peach, his eyes were full of emotion, but after a while, he closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes and regained his clarity: "Really Lu, one peach is not enough, can you give it away?"  I have five bottles of honey!"

    Lu Sen was stunned for a moment, a little admired in his heart, and took out ten bottles of honey from the system backpack: "Brother Bai, please."

    Bai Yutang took off his coat, folded it into a bundle, and picked up the ten bottles of honey. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Lu. By the way, if the forest official wanted to eat the flat peach halfway, he didn't want to take it back to his old mother."  What? Do I want to stop it?"

    "No need." Lu Sen chuckled lightly: "This is a test he created for himself. It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, Brother Bai just needs to tell me what happened."

    Bai Yutang nodded, and then jumped to the top of Bitian Pavilion with a whoosh, waiting there for Lin Yuanwai who was about to come out.Take out ten bottles of honey from the bag: "Brother Bai, please."

    Bai Yutang took off his coat, folded it into a bundle, and picked up the ten bottles of honey. He said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Lu. By the way, if the forest official wanted to eat the flat peach halfway, he didn't want to take it back to his old mother."  What? Do I want to stop it?"

    "No need." Lu Sen chuckled lightly: "This is a test he created for himself. It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, Brother Bai just needs to tell me what happened."

    Bai Yutang nodded, and then jumped to the top of Bitian Pavilion with a whoosh, waiting there for the Lin Yuanwai who was about to come out.
