Chapter 25 The Lu Family

August 16th is the day when Pang Yu sends troops, and there has been urging him several times in Fengyi County.

Yang You did not see him off because today he had a more important task - the Disaster Relief Department was established.

The location of the Disaster Relief Department is close to Daxing East City, where people come and go, and the transportation is convenient, which is very helpful for promoting the Disaster Relief Department.

After a series of gongs and drums, the Disaster Relief Department was officially established.

The banner of "one side is in trouble and all directions support each other" was hung on both sides, and from time to time, yamen runners spread the proposals of the disaster relief department to pedestrians on the road.

There are many caring citizens of Daxing, and soon they lined up in a long queue to start donating money and materials.

For a moment, the entire East City knew that His Highness Dai Wang, who was in the limelight yesterday, established a disaster relief department to receive donations from Daxing citizens. Many people also came with the mentality of watching the fun.

Before noon, the entire disaster relief department process had spread throughout Daxing.

"If one side is in trouble, all sides will support each other, good sentences!" a scholar murmured to himself.

"Dedicating love depends entirely on voluntary, open and transparent, and freely checking accounts." More people are paying attention to these actual content.

Most people agree with donating money, after all, they are not forced to give a hard rule to donate a lot and give a piece of love!

The disaster relief department is not far away, and there is a luxury house. This is the house of Lu Jitong, a wealthy businessman in Daxing.

"So, are you hiding in a fool again? These days are a matter of trouble. You can't worry about it." Lu Jitong pointed to his sneaky son at the door and cursed.

The Lu family is suffering a great disaster recently. The Taiyuan Wang family, one of the top families, has been suppressing the Lu family for some reason and wants to annex the Lu family.

Fortunately, Lu Jitong has recently contracted the industry to Daxing, and the Wang family’s base is in Taiyuan. They dare not be too arrogant in Daxing, so the three generations of the Lu family’s family business survived.

However, he had already received news that the people from the Wang family in Taiyuan had arrived in Daxing and were unblocking the officials in Daxing to establish relationships for the annexation of the Lu family. There were marriages between the aristocratic families, and by then he probably had no way out to retreat.

Seeing that his industry was almost impossible to save, and his son Lu Xin was still fooling around outside, how could Lu Jitong not be furious?

"Father, please calm down. The child knows his father's worries and specially bought a good thing for Lord Li." Lu Xin frowned and pointed at the four-wheeled carriage outside.

In fact, he bought this four-wheeled carriage for 30 guan last night. He originally played it by himself, but now he doesn't care about it for the sake of himself and his family.

"Is this the four-wheeled carriage that caused a sensation in the city yesterday?" Lu Jitong asked with anger.

Yesterday, Yang You built a brick road and the last four-wheeled carriage test drive caused a sensation in the city, and Lu Jitong also heard about it.

"It is precisely because His Highness Dai King built a large number of brick roads, four-wheeled carriages will definitely become more and more popular. Now this four-wheeled carriage is still a rare thing, and the name of this carriage is also very good - BMW brand." Lu Xin spared no effort to recommend this carriage to prove that his vision was correct.

Lu Jitong nodded and agreed with his son's point of view that such a gift giving can indeed play a role.

"What a pity! It's too late. Lord Li has made a decision. Yesterday, not only did he return the gift he sent to his father, but he advised him not to resist indifferently." Lu Jitong looked sad.

The Lord Li, the father and son of the Lu family, is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites. The Lu family usually gives him filial piety. However, since the people from the Wang family in Taiyuan came to Daxing, Lord Li has made a choice to defect to the Wang family and sell the Lu family.

Although he couldn't bear to give up the Lu family's generous filial piety every year, he really didn't have the courage to fight against the giant Wang family in Taiyuan.

"How could this happen!" Lu Shiyan was struck by lightning and stayed there.

He has always been born in a wealthy family, with no worries about food and clothing. All this his father told him will disappear soon, how can he remain calm?

Why did the Wang family take a fancy to its own industry? The Lu family and his son still don’t understand. Although the Wang family in Taiyuan is huge, they have recklessly annexed the Lu family. The resources they need are huge, and it can even be said that it is not worth the loss.

The father and son looked at each other, with bitter smiles on their faces.

"We are all like this in the Lu family! You even showed off your limelight and bought a four-wheeled carriage." Lu Jitong was so frustrated that he looked at his son and used it to vent his anger.

Lu Xin closed his eyes and prepared to welcome his father's beating, but after a while, the stick fell on him.

When I opened my eyes, I saw my father holding a stick, staying there like hysteria, muttering to himself: "Show the show, show the show."

"Haha! That's right, it's just a show-off!" Lu Jitong said with a flushed face.

"Father" Lu Xin shouted timidly.

"Yes, that's it. It's not the turn of the Wang family to be arrogant in Daxing. No matter how big it is, Daxing, is His Highness Dai Wang. What does His Highness Dai Wang value most now? Of course, it's the disaster relief department." Lu Jitong walked around excitedly, listening to the noise not far away, very excited.

"Let's go, let you see how you show off for your father today." Lu Jitong laughed loudly and pulled up his stunned son.

...

"The Lu family in Dongfang wants to donate 100,000 guan."

"Dongfang Lu family, is it the Lu family of the grain merchant? How do you know?"

"Yes, the Lu family is officially the Lu family. My cousin is helping the chef in the Lu family. He heard from the head of the Lu family personally announce that the Lu family is moving money now."

After Lu Jitong announced his donation plan in front of the servants of the Lu family, he only left a few confidants to transport the money, and paid the servants half a month's extra wages and gave them half a day off.

After the villagers scattered, less than an hour later, all Daxing knew about the Lu family's big deal.

"Are the Lu family stupid? If you dislike the amount of money, you can donate it to me. I'm very poor!" a big man laughed.

At this moment, the focus of Daxing was on the Lu family for the first time, and at the same time, the name of the Disaster Relief Department once again resounded throughout the city.

At the entrance of the Lu family's house, five carriages were ready to go. When the people who heard the news came to see the fun surrounded the Lu family.

"Father, are we really going to donate so much?" Lu Xin felt pain even after thinking about it.

"If you were asked to donate this 100,000 yuan to His Highness Dai Wang and his family business were annexed by the Wang family, which one would you choose?" Lu's father said earnestly.

"It's better to break the jade than to make the whole thing." Lu Xin understood what his father meant and gritted his teeth.

Lu Jitong patted his son with relief, and a trace of hope flashed in his eyes.

"Maybe there is still a turning point in this matter."

"But how do you go?" Lu Xin looked at the crowd of people watching the fun in front of the door, who had blocked the road.

"Get out of the way." A loud shout came from behind the crowd!

Several yamen runners struggled to squeeze out the crowd, and Daxing County Magistrate Su Sheng rushed over in a mess.

"Brother Lu, it's such a big deal!" Su Sheng said with a smile.

Su Sheng is now very different from that of more than ten days ago. Su Sheng used to retain the aura of an intellectual. Although he does not regard money as dirt, he does not regard them as much as possible.

Now Su Sheng saw money, he was like a shark asking for fishy smell. In his eyes, money is a magic pill that can save refugees from living.

As soon as he heard that the Lu family was going to donate 100,000 yuan, Su Sheng immediately brought the yamen runners to escort them.

"It's too much! It makes the county magistrate laugh!" Lu Jitong brought Lu Xin to meet him.

"I have heard of Brother Lu's plight. Just for Brother Lu's big move, Su will definitely report the truth to His Highness Dai Wang." Su Sheng lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Thank you, the county magistrate." Lu Jitong said happily.

Lu Jitong's original plan was to cause a sensational effect, and when the Wang family moved the Lu family, they would definitely be a little worried.

If he had just donated such a large sum of money, the Wang family would soon annex it, where would His Highness the King of that generation be worthy of his face?
