Chapter 52 Jiangdong Lujia

"Jiangdong Lu family?" Lu Su was also stunned when he heard the words. Zhao Feng quickly added, "The Lu family of Lu Kang, the former governor of Lujiang, was killed by Sun Ce." It turned out that since Zhao Feng came to Xuzhou, he had been thinking about getting Lu Xun, the future governor of Eastern Wu. Considering that Lu Xun's uncle Lu Kang was killed by Sun Ce, and now there are a lot of talents in Jiangdong, Lu Xun is afraid that he has no chance to take office, so there should be no problem in digging this potential stock. It's just that in the past two years, Cao Yan and Yuan Shu have been doing it again. Zhao Feng is a little overwhelmed, and this matter has been delayed.

If it hadn't been for Lu Su's proposal of shipbuilding, Zhao Feng might have forgotten it so much. Lu Su is also a very smart person. Hearing this, he immediately understood Zhao Feng's intention. His eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly, "The Lu family will definitely make it. They used to do water business. The Lu family's merchant ships are very big!"

"In the past?" Zhao Feng was a little stunned, and then asked, "What about now?"

"Now, after Lu Kang was killed by Sun Ce, the Lu family is divided into two branches. One was led by Lu Ji and defected to Sun Ce; the other returned to his hometown in Wu County, and the children of the family were at most small officials. Let's wait until I send the details to inquire carefully!" After Lu Su came to his senses, he also began to plan the next step. Then send it quickly!" Zhao Feng was afraid that Lu Xun would be abducted, so he hurriedly urged. At present, Lu Su sent dozens of spies to lurk in Wu County to see what happened to the Lu family.

But two days later, the agents came back one after another. According to the comprehensive news, Zhao Feng and Lu Su finally figured out a general situation. As Lu Su said, the Lu family has indeed been divided into two. It doesn't matter if Lu Ji's team defected to Sun Ce, but the remaining people don't want to work for it because they have a life-and-death feud with Sun Ce. At present, they all live in seclusion in their hometown in Wu County, and at most they are only some small officials. The current head of the Lu family is Lu Kang's brother, Lu Xun's father Lu Jun, who is now the county magistrate of Wu County. However, it is said that Lu Jun is sick in bed and has not appeared for several months.

"It's so good!" Zhao Feng learned that Lu Xun was only a 15-year-old teenager at this time, and now he was determined to dig him over. Since Lu Jun is ill, it's better to do it. At present, Zhao Feng and Lu Su discussed for a while, and suggested to Liu Bei that he write a letter to ask Lu Jun to come out of the mountain to Xuzhou to be an official, and told him that the magic doctor Hua Tuo was in Xuzhou. If he wanted to survive, he would come quickly. At this time, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that in history, Lu Xun was less than 20 years old as the head of the family. He thought it was necessary to follow the normal development, and Lu Jun was about to rise up.

After a few days, Liu Bei replied and fully agreed with Zhao Feng and Lu Su's proposal. As long as Lu Jun is willing to come, the prime minister of Xia Pijun is vacant, just keep it for him. At the same time, Liu Bei's handwritten letter has also been sent to reliable people to Jiangdong and to Lu Jun.

"Son'er, what do you think of this letter?" In a mansion in Wu County, a middle-aged man who was sick and weak leaned on the bed and asked a teenager. He is Lu Jun, the head of the Lu family, but that teenager is his son Lu Xun. Lu Jun knew that although his son was young, he had been unusual and knowledgeable since he was a child, so he came to discuss it with him.

Lu Xun read the letter twice from beginning to end, and then smiled and said, "Father, this is clearly Liu Bei who wants to recruit us so that he can deal with Jiangdong in the future."

"That being said, I'm waiting here and being always on guarded by Sun Ce. What should I do?" Lu Jun frowned.

"This?" Lu Xun also smiled bitterly. If the whole family went to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, he could indeed have a broader future. However, the biggest feature of the people in Jiangdong is that they can't leave their homeland. As the saying goes, gold and silver nests are not as good as their own dog kennels, and their local concept is particularly serious. Moreover, the Lu family's industry was originally Jiangshan transportation and fields. Since Lu Kang's death, Jiangshan Shipping has been closed, leaving only a few mu of land. If you go like this again, there will be nothing.

"That's all, let's go to Xuzhou!" Lu Xun thought about it and had no choice. He didn't live a comfortable life here, and it was good to go out to see the world. What's more, Liu Bei said that the magic doctor Hua Tuo is in Xuzhou. After his father fell ill, many parties looked for famous doctors, but they didn't have the essentials. They all said that Zhang Zhongjing or Hua Tuo could not be treated. At present, Zhang Zhongjing is an official under Liu's account in Jingzhou. Jiangdong and Jingzhou are not in common. He has no hope, and Hua Tuo is still more realistic. Although Lu Xun is not a famous filial son, he still has to take my life seriously. So after the father and son finalized, they decided how to move the family to Xuzhou in batches. Only some loyal servants were left to sell the industry, and then went to Xuzhou to develop. Lu Jun's illness could not be delayed. The day after replying to Liu Bei, he took a step forward with Lu Xun in the carriage.

When Hua Tuo finished the diagnosis and treatment of Lu Jun, it was already a month later. At this time, in the early autumn, Lu Jun was also officially appointed as the prime minister of Xiupi County by Liu Bei, leading the whole family to settle in Xiupi. The departure of the Lu family did not cause much sensation in Jiangdong. After all, Lu Ji still works under Sun Ce's account. These families will never hang themselves on a tree, and everyone is used to it.

Less than five days after Lu Jun took office, someone came to visit him. It's none other than Lu Su, the commander of the Xuzhou navy, and Zhao Feng, the governor of Pengcheng. I don't know if you two adults are here. What do you think? In the newly purchased house of the Lu family, Lu Jun and his son are receiving Lu Su and Zhao Feng.

"I dare not be a teacher, Lord Lu, we really want to consult in advance." Lu Su said solemnly, and then talked about the urgent need for his navy to build a big ship.

"So that's it!" Lu Jun and his son were both bright when they heard the words: It turned out that Liu Bei wrote a letter to call his father and son to Xuzhou for his own shipbuilding skills to train sailors. Fortunately, most of the boat workers in my family are still there, and those who are no longer there can also be found. At present, Lu Jun also took on this matter. At this time, Zhao Feng told him that Liu Bei had appointed Lu Xun as the capital of the Xuzhou navy.

"Me?" Lu Xun was also caught off guard about this. How did he know that this was proposed by Zhao Feng to Lu Su in order to train this young man. Lu Su didn't know Zhao Feng's idea. He just thought that he wanted to completely persuade the Lu family and arrange a sailor was also a piece of cake for him, the governor, and he agreed now. What's more, Xuzhou needs a large number of shipbuilding and the assistance of the Lu family. At present, the men of the Lu family are all in Jiangdong except Lu Jun and his son. As the duty of the county magistrate, Lu Jun couldn't run away, so he had to let Lu Xun take charge of this side. It was also human's normal to make him a small official.

"Bao seems to attach great importance to this Lu Xun!" Lu Su looked at Lu Xun, who was commanding the craftsman's shipbuilding, and suddenly smiled at Zhao Feng.

"Talents are rare!" Zhao Feng also sighed, neither admitting nor denying, but he felt that he was more and more like a paparazzi, digging people everywhere. At this time, Lu Xun, who was in charge of shipbuilding, reported to the two: "Two lords, this ship can be built in less than ten days, and it can be tested immediately."

"It's so good!" Lu Su nodded. This is also what Zhao Feng means. Let's build one first. Although the Lu family is good at shipbuilding, they only built merchant ships in the past. This kind of warship is rarely manufactured. The specific effect needs to be tested, but a lot of small-scale ships have been built. According to Zhao Feng's vision, this should be the speedboat of this era.

Suddenly, Zhao Feng remembered the big sea oat boat built by Gao Yu in "Water Margin" when he watched the TV series in his previous life. Compared with the ship built by the Lu family now, one of the most significant structural differences is that the Lu family's ship relies on oars as the power, while the tall sea loach ship is equipped with impellers on the side of the ship on both sides of the ship, driven by the sailors in the ship. Zhao Feng learned machinery. At a rough estimate, he knew that if he used impellers instead of oars, it would definitely save a lot of effort.

I remember again that during the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Battle of Han and the Yellow Sea. At that time, Li Shunchen of North Korea used the famous turtle ship. Zhao Feng remembered that he had also seen the shape of a turtle ship. The biggest difference between this kind of ship and the rest of the boats is that its deck is not exposed. On the contrary, the whole hull is covered with a protective layer like a turtle shell, and the outermost part is even wrapped in iron. At the same time, the bow and stern of the ship are made of iron. The soldiers attack from the window of the side of the ship. They are really iron turtles with absolutely first-class defense. The disadvantage is that it is too bulky and the flexible surname is not good.

Zhao Feng thought about his own ship in his heart, and his face was also unpredictable. Lu Su knew more or less about him and knew that he was thinking about problems by himself, but Lu Xun thought that he was dissatisfied with the ship he had built, and he was very puzzled at the moment.

"Bo Yan, I know the shape of the two kinds of boats. I'll draw a drawing for you in a few days. Let's see if I can build one or two ships to see how it compares with the current ship." Zhao Feng said suddenly. He also made it clear that although he knew the general appearance of these two ships, it was really difficult for him to build them at his own level. He'd better leave it to Lu Xun to do it. Just make some modifications at that time, just like he developed a crossbow cannon with Lu Hao at the beginning.

"But according to General Zhao's orders!" Lu Xun was also a little surprised that General Zhao, who had always claimed to be a lay in the navy, would volunteer, but these words were obviously inconvenient to say. Zhao Feng looked at the busy boatmen, but he imagined that when he built all these ships, coupled with crossbows and throws, it should be the aircraft carrier in the era of cold weapons!

Just as Zhao Feng, Lu Su and others were imauging the future of the Xuzhou Water Army, the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xuchang City was a little heavy. In addition to the generals, all the civil servants under Cao Qian's command are there. Cao Hen looked up at the crowd, or he was the first to say, "Guys, everyone knows the current situation. What should I do? You'd better pay attention to it as soon as possible!"
