Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

"Hey, you also brought souvenirs to others?" Prince Gong said in surprise.

Lu Desheng said reservedly, "Don't be surprised if you give too many gifts. After all, you will be troublesome for a while." Last time, I borrowed money from others. This time, I had to bring some gifts no matter what.

Hearing that Prince Gong and Lu Desheng, the governor of Pingzhou, had arrived, Deng Fangyi, the governor of Youzhou, received the two people with a puzzled look on his face, accompanied by Duan Qi, the chief clerk.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Lu Desheng signaled Prince Gong to come up, "Prince Gong, didn't you say you had something to talk to Mr. Deng?"

Prince Gong, who was pushed to the shelves, glared at Lu Desheng.

"What's the matter? Prince Gong might as well speak frankly." Deng Fangyi was quite curious.

Duan Qi, on the other hand, was on guard and would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. If the two of them came to visit, he was afraid that nothing good would happen.

Prince Gong cleared his throat and said, "That's it..."

Borrow iron ore?How did the two of them come up with such an outrageous thing?Deng Fangyi looked suspicious that he had heard something wrong.

Duan Qi was also surprised. The court asked Lu Desheng to pay more grain taxes, but he actually agreed?

"Master Deng, there is nothing we can do in Pingzhou. We have a good harvest in Pingzhou and don't have enough farm tools. We can't delay the emperor's affairs, can we? You can be accommodating."

As a neighbor, Deng Fangyi had heard about Pingzhou's good harvest.But, “that’s against the rules.”

Prince Gong also looked embarrassed.

Lu Desheng on the side took over the words directly, "Hey, Master Deng's words are wrong. Legal principles are nothing more than human relationships. Rules are not dead, they can be changed."

"You don't need this iron ore, so it's just gathering dust in the warehouse. We in Pingzhou are just borrowing it, and it's not that we won't return it. Prince Gong will return it to you as soon as he returns to Chang'an and asks the emperor for instructions."

"Master Deng, please be accommodating. Otherwise, our autumn harvest in Pingzhou will very likely be delayed."

Deng Fangyi is inexplicable, what does it have to do with me if you delay yours?

Prince Gong: "Your Majesty is very concerned about Pingzhou's autumn harvest. If it is convenient, could you please Lord Deng to be accommodating?"

Lu Desheng finally agreed to raise taxes. Prince Gong was very worried that if he couldn't borrow the iron ore, this guy would just give up the business.It's really possible with Lu Desheng's willfulness.

Deng Fangyi pondered for a moment. He didn't need to care about Lu Desheng, but he had to consider Prince Gong's words.If because of his refusal, Prince Gong gave him some eye drops in front of the emperor after returning to Chang'an, that would be troublesome.He already knew a little about the reasons for Shi Tao's downfall.

"Okay, we can't delay Pingzhou's autumn harvest." Deng Fangyi spat.

"Master Deng, you are so kind. Thank you very much for your support of Pingzhou."

"Good to say."

"Secretary Duan, go to the warehouse and hand over the two thousand kilograms of iron ore to Mr. Lu."

Lu Desheng immediately looked at Duan Qi, the chief administrator of Youzhou.

Before Deng Fangyi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Duan Qi, "Sir, you are planning to hand over the thousand kilograms of iron ore in the warehouse to Master Lu, right? The official knows."

As he spoke, Duan Qian gave his lord a subtle wink.

"Oh, yes, that's what I mean."

Lu Desheng narrowed his eyes slightly.He was skeptical about this number, but there was nothing he could do if people didn't tell the truth.Forget it, if you can pick up a little bit, don’t dislike it.

Prince Gong thought that after Deng Fangyi agreed to lend the iron ore, he would have nothing to do, and he could set off immediately.

Unexpectedly, Lu Desheng pulled him here and there, asking him how the ministers in Chang'an City were doing since he was released.Did you miss him?

In short, they just won’t let me go.Lu Desheng is bound to carry out the fox's pretense to the end.

After waiting for the people he brought to get the iron ore successfully, he said goodbye to Prince Gong and said, "Prince Gong, it's getting late. Isn't it time for you to set off?"

Prince Gong, who only spoke half of his words:...

Before boarding the car, Prince Gong shouted to Lu Desheng, "Don't forget what you promised!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget it." Lu Desheng promised that he would arrange for people to transport grain to Chang'an as soon as possible after the autumn harvest.

Prince Gong left with peace of mind.

Only Deng Fangyi and Duan Qi were left in the governor's mansion.

"My subordinates still have the same opinion as before. This Lu Desheng has great intentions, and you should be careful." Duan Qi said in a deep tone.

Deng Fangyi was helpless. He understood what Duan Qi meant and listened to it. But this time it was endorsed by the imperial envoy Prince Gong. Can he refuse forcefully?

"Old Duan, is it possible that we are overthinking it? If Lu Desheng really had that intention, how could he let the court take it away?"

Duan Qi frowned, this was something he couldn't figure out.

Pingzhou

One thousand kilograms of iron ore was successfully obtained, but Lu Desheng was not very happy.

When he returned, it was time to go off duty, and Lu Songli and Qin Sheng were both there.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lu Songli couldn't help but be concerned.

Lu Desheng explained the situation, "I suspect that the governor of Youzhou has more than [-] kilograms of iron ore." He felt very sorry for not being able to do his part, and he naturally did not like to see Duan Qi who had done harm to others.

Lu Songli and Qin Sheng looked at each other when they heard the name of Youzhou Chief Secretary Duan Qi.

Lu Desheng noticed something was wrong, "What's wrong? Is there something going on here?"

Qin Sheng: "Haha, father-in-law, nothing is actually wrong."

Lu Songli: "It's just that when we were exiled, we made some money by reselling medicinal materials on the road. Then when we passed through Youzhou, his nephew Duan Kaishen tried to rob us, but we took advantage of him."

Lu Desheng: ...

Yangjia Iron Shop

bang bang bang-

Blacksmith Xiao Yang's door was knocked loudly, and Blacksmith Yang shouted outside the door, "You bastard, what time is it? Why don't you get up to work?"

"The iron ore is gone!"

Blacksmith Xiao Yang pulled the quilt over his head and refused to get up.

It's autumn and the morning is cool, perfect for sleeping.

At the same time, he thought to himself that it was true that his father had finally rested for two days and kept shouting, but he couldn't have a moment of leisure.

"The government has just sent three hundred kilograms, get up quickly!"

Hearing this, Blacksmith Xiao Yang first jerked a carp, and then when his mind went through it for the second time, he only felt that his eyes went dark, three hundred kilograms!This time I was beaten so hard that my arms were almost swollen!

"Get up quickly!"

Blacksmith Xiao Yang got up to wash up, but his father thought he was too slow.

"You just want to be lazy. The Xianbei people are about to call, don't you know? Do you want your father to die?"

Blacksmith Xiao Yang replied, "Dad, you are serious. If we can't beat him, we will run away." It's not like he has never run away before.

Blacksmith Lao Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just try harder, we don't have to run away." People are humble when they leave their hometown. Who would be willing to leave their hometown unless it was absolutely necessary?

"If it's time to run away, your future wife will be gone too." Blacksmith Lao Yang made a marriage arrangement for him at the beginning of the year and was waiting to marry him by the end of the year.

Blacksmith Xiao Yang said nothing and went to look at the iron ore, "Why are there so many?"

"I heard that Mr. Lu brought back a total of one thousand kilograms of iron ore, and the other seven hundred kilograms were distributed to the other three counties in Pingzhou." Blacksmith Lao Yang said quietly.

Blacksmith Xiao Yang fell silent and quickly called his apprentices to come and work together.Thank you Mr. Lu for your promotion, otherwise, if you give him this thousand kilograms of iron ore, people will die.
