Chapter 211

Lu Lu Lingqi gave him a flirtatious look!

The livestream exclaimed,

"The Ding Yuan lady is also a little rich woman!"

"Ding Yuan Shu still has some humanity, not letting the Ding Yuan lady marry empty-handed."

"Who can give me such a sensible and beautiful little rich woman!"

"I'm cracking up; it's all jealousy!"

"Lu Lu Lingqi's look is not serious... she knows how to play!"

The Ding Yuan lady's face was red, and she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The sound of Lu Lu Lingqi chatting in the next tent was a bit loud.

Early the next morning,

Liu Bei found the Ding Yuan lady with a pair of panda eyes and asked with concern,

"Miss Ding Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

The Ding Yuan lady wanted to roll her eyes at Liu Bei, but she didn't dare, so she could only bow gracefully.

"Lord Liu Xuande, I'm just not used to sleeping in a tent; I'll get used to it after a while."

Liu Bei nodded and continued the journey with the people.

Three days later,

Juchao County,

the people migrating with Liu Bei were stunned.

Outside Juchao City, it was bustling with activity; large and small grain transport carts and cargo carts filled the road,

and the Chaohu wharf was also full of merchant ships.

"Lord Liu Xuande waves his hand, and there are so many merchants sending grain and goods; he is truly a divine man!"

Liu Bei hadn't expected so many merchants to come.

The big merchants of Taking Xuzhou surrounded Liu Bei.

"Lord Liu Xuande, your fame after crushing Cao Cao and defeating Sun Ce is even greater."

"Lord Liu Xuande, this time I transported ten thousand shi of grain!"

"I transported five thousand shi!"

Liu Bei thanked them one by one and personally wrote certificates for them.

"Everyone, with this certificate, you can collect goods of equivalent value in Chang'an. Everyone, rest assured, I, Liu Bei, will never default on a debt."

Everyone cupped their hands.

"Lord Liu Xuande, your loyalty is spread throughout the world; we naturally believe you."

"I have always wanted to go to Guanzhong to do business, but there are too many routed troops on the road."

"Lord Liu Xuande, can we go to Guanzhong with you this time?"

Liu Bei nodded, indicating they could.

The big merchants were even happier; following Lord Liu Xuande, those bandits and officials naturally wouldn't dare to extort them.

They also gave Liu Bei grain, just as protection money.

Liu Bei also met many big merchants who had rushed from Jiangdong.

Many merchants were not only here to make money but also to witness the demeanor of Lord Liu Xuande, whose might shook the nine provinces.

"It's true!"

"Lord Liu Xuande is mighty and handsome, making people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze; only such a person can achieve such accomplishments!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Everyone, I am hosting a banquet in the city today; everyone come and drink!"

"That is exactly what we wish!"

The people of Juchao County were also full of joy.

This time, Lord Liu Xuande directly revitalized the entire economy of Juchao, and everyone made a profit.

Liu Bei drank over a dozen rounds of wine with everyone.

He had no airs and mingled with everyone; the big merchants were moved to tears—this was the General of the Cavalry of the Great Han, Lord Liu, and he thought so highly of them; they had to drink until they fell today!

Xun You brought over a sturdy man in his twenties.

"My lord, this is Lu Lu Zijing, who gave our army thirty thousand shi of grain!"

It was a gift! Not a trade!

Liu Bei was shocked; was this the rich second-generation, the honest Lu Su who shocked Zhou Lang with his arrogance?

Liu Bei stood up.

"So it is Lu Lu Zijing of Dongcheng; I have long admired your great name."

Lu Su was shocked.

"Lord Liu Xuande actually knows me, Lu Lu Zijing?!"

He was originally from Dongcheng County and had only moved his family to Juchao a few years ago. This time, except for what he kept for himself to eat, he had given all the remaining grain to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei held Lu Su's hand.

"Lu Zijing gives away money and sells land to help the poor, and is deeply supported by the villagers; I have heard of your name for a long time."

The honest Lu Su was instantly moved by Liu Bei.

Even Lord Liu Xuande, whose might shook the world, knew him; Lu Su felt a bit lightheaded!

"Compared to Lord Liu Xuande, I am far behind. Nearly four hundred thousand people in Jiujiang are willing to leave with you; what kind of prestige is needed to do that!"

Liu Bei patted Lu Su's hand.

"Lu Zijing, many people come for profit, but you seek no return and give me thirty thousand shi of grain to save the people; I am deeply moved."

Unexpectedly, Lu Su was moved to tears by Liu Bei first.

"Lord Liu Xuande, I just wanted to do something for the people; I didn't think that much."

Liu Bei smiled.

"Guanzhong is waiting to be rebuilt; Lu Zijing is a great talent. Are you willing to go to Guanzhong with me?"

Lu Su had originally intended to go to Jiangdong to join his old friend Zhou Yu; now that Liu Bei had personally recruited him, and he had long admired Liu Bei, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly!

Lu Su bowed deeply.

"My lord, your subordinate is willing!"

Liu Bei helped him up.

"Good, Lu Zijing, you will first serve as a military advisor in my General of the Cavalry's mansion!"

Lu Su was even more moved; he had no achievements, yet the lord had arranged a military advisor position for him as soon as he arrived—that was thinking very highly of him!

Liu Bei drank with Lu Su.

Although Lu Su was a good-natured person, his physical fitness was good, and his drinking capacity was also good!

The livestream chat also increased.

"The big-eared thief's fame is so high now!"

"Besides drinking well, what else does this Lu Lu Zijing have?"

"Others can give thirty thousand shi of grain at once; with such a big hand, can his ability be poor?"

"This is the rich brother of the Han Dynasty."

"The big-eared thief instantly obtained hundreds of thousands of shi of grain; this operation is truly 6!"

Liu Bei stayed in Juchao for a few days, and tens of thousands more people came to join, with the population reaching forty thousand!

It could be said that Jiujiang Commandery was more than half empty!

Forty thousand people, plus twenty thousand troops and fifty thousand merchant teams, traveled in a mighty procession toward Wancheng.

Wancheng,

Liu Xun was stunned and jealous.

"Liu Bei actually gathered forty thousand people! The whole of Lujiang only has over forty thousand people."

Liu Ye was also full of emotion; they were a bit like frogs in a well, and Lord Liu Xuande was the true destination of fame!

About ten days later,
