When Lu Gongzhu returned home, it was already evening.

As soon as he entered the door, his guest came to report: "Lord, Duke Kang has just sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he would like to ask you to meet in the mansion tonight..."

As he said that, the guest presented a gilded invitation to Lu Gongzhu.

"Han Zihua..." Lu Gong let out a sigh and took the invitation

In his heart, what the officials and his entrusted him before the palace resigned appeared.

"It is the national policy to buy it if you want to buy it!"

"My husband also serves as a low-interest loan business for convenient and low-interest loans, and he wants to arrest this matter..."

"I will order Jia Zongmin to report to my office every five days..."

So, is Han Jiang asking him to meet in the mansion because of this?

Thinking of this, Lu Gong opened the invitation, but Han Jiang invited him to meet at his mansion at the hour of Hai tonight.

He closed the invitation and said, "Prepare for me to go to the meeting of Duke Kang."

"promise!"

The guest went down to prepare immediately.

It was a very serious matter for the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty to be invited to meet at other people's houses.

Even if you are a common man, you have to take a shower and change your clothes.

Ministers of the level of Duke Lu are particularly grand.

Especially, there was a case of assassination of the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty!

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, it is not said that it is the magistrate.

Even when the ministers are waiting for the trip, they will follow the scenery around them, echoing the front and back.

Sometimes there are even paving soldiers from Kaifeng Prefecture, escorting them all the way.

It’s also normal for Mr. Lu to go on a trip.

There are hundreds of people in Yuansui alone.

In addition, the soldiers from several shops in Yulin Lane will also dispatch guards.

But the shop soldiers like to do this kind of thing very much.

Because there is a reward.

...

Mr. Lu returned to the back house, washed up, and put on new clothes under the service of his wife Zhao.

When he touched the fabric, the texture was thick and soft.

"It's cotton!"

"The clothes are indeed made of cotton, and they are all imperial objects given in the palace before the New Year..." Zhao, who was next to him, replied.

Mr. Lu smiled.

After entering the palace today, talking to the officials and opening up their hearts to communicate.

Mr. Lu looked at the cotton cloth now, and he became happier the more he looked at it.

"If there were more than one million cotton cloths to enter the market every year..." He said leisurely: "Why worry about the world not being able to govern? The country cannot prosper?"

Since ancient times, cloth is money, and money is cloth.

Even, for a long time, cloth is stronger than money.

There were millions of silk cloth in the stake storage warehouse of the late emperor.

However, now, these inventory is being slowly being cleared by Yousi.

Some were sold to the market, and some were sold to the Liao Kingdom through the trade in Song and Liao Jiaozi.

Zhao listened, laughed and said, "My husband, if there were really millions of cotton cloth every year..."

"Not to mention the great governance of the world, I am afraid that there will be hope for the third generation!"

Mr. Lu nodded: "Yes!"

"If you get a million pieces of cotton cloth every year, the world will be able to be well-managed, and it is even expected to be three generations!"

What is the rule of the Three Dynasties?

It’s the harmony of the world!

The sage said it very clearly. When the world is in harmony - the world is for the public, select the virtuous and capable, and be faithful and harmonious!

Therefore, the old friends do not only have relatives, but also have children, so that the elderly can have a place to live, the strong can have a place to use, the young can have a place to grow, and the widows, widows, widows, orphans, orphans, orphans, and sick can all be raised!

This is an article that all Confucian scholars will read shortly after entering school.

It is also a utopia for scholars and officials.

Even the famous treacherous and villains in the history of the dynasty are pursuing this.

Zhao listened and laughed.

But when Lu Gongzhu thought of something, he turned his head and asked, "Madam, Lu Xizhe and Lu Xichun, how about these two rebellious sons at home today?"

Zhao said: "Big brother (Lu Xizhe) and second brother (Lu Xichun) didn't even go out today, and just studied in their own yard..."

"I ordered someone to send the abacus..."

Mr. Lu nodded and felt relieved.

Although both of his three sons have rebellious bones on the back of their heads.

But in terms of filial piety, there is nothing to say.

This is also his most gratifying point.

...

When Mr. Lu arrived at the Han Mansion, it happened to be a moment before the hour of Hai.

When Han Jiang heard that Mr. Lu was here, he took his family and opened the middle door to greet him personally, which was enough face.

He invited Mr. Lu to the mansion and entered the back house of Han Mansion.

Han Jiang invited Lu Gongzhu to his favorite elegant room, then left the left and right, leaving only the maid outside the door, waiting for the summons at any time.

After many years, the two old friends got the opportunity to meet alone again.

Han Jiang was very happy. He personally invited Mr. Lu to the guest seat and then cooked tea for him.

Looking at the milky white tea soup, it is formed under your own careful cooking.

Han Jiang was in a good mood. He scooped out a bowl and sent it to Lu Gongzhu's desk: "Uncle Hui tried it and see my husband's tea-making skills. Have you ever been sophisticated?"

Mr. Lu nodded, took the teacup, gently stirred it with a spoon, and watched the teacup on the glaze surface of the teacup, causing ripples, so he praised: "Zihua's tea-making technique has improved a lot!"

He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A rich sweet smell mixed with tea and a faint milky aroma spreads out in the mouth.

Mr. Lu looked at Han Jiang in shock: "My husband Zihua put on frosting, fresh milk?"

Han Jiang smiled and nodded: "This is a new tea-making technique introduced by Zhang Zihou to me!"

"When using frosting and fresh milk, the tea soup cooked is not only sweet and rich in taste, but also has a much better color than other things!"

"Not only that, drinking this tea regularly can refresh your mind and relieve fatigue..."

"Uncle Hui can try it later!"

When Mr. Lu heard this, his eyes lit up.

He is older and his energy is not as good as before.

If you add frosting and fresh milk, you can refresh yourself, but he should drink more.

So thanked me: "Thank you, Mr. Zihua, for your advice."

Han Jiang also scooped a bowl for himself, then sat opposite Mr. Lu, tasted it, and asked, "Uncle Hui entered the palace today to meet the saint. Should he know what Mr. Zhang Zihou and Mr. Zhao were doing?"

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "I will only know the great politics of Mr. Zihua and the official family... are shocking and willing to follow the story of Cao Shen back then..."

Cao Shen succeeded Xiao He as Prime Minister in the early Han Dynasty.

During his tenure, he continued almost all of Xiao He's policies, so he left behind the allusion of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.

After a thousand years, very few people can do this.

It can even be said that there is no!

Han Jiang smiled: "Uncle Hui doesn't need to do this."

He said meaningfully: "Assisting the emperor and governing the world is a blessing for you and me!"

"Uncle Hui doesn't have to follow me in everything... I should have some of my own ideas and solutions..."

Of course, Lu Gongye understood the meaning of Han Jiang's words.

He and Han Jiang were both prime ministers in special periods.

It was a temporary solution for the emperor to conquer the young and could not rule the government. The two palaces were left behind, but it was difficult to convince the public.

During their tenure, they have great room for freedom.

However, after the term of office of Lu Gongzhu ends, it is likely that the situation in the court will enter a new era.

Those who succeeded Lu Gongzhu will no longer enjoy this kind of free space.

Even if the emperor wants to, the ministers will not agree.

It should be noted that even now, there are a large number of people in the court and the country, both inside and outside, preparing to support the emperor in power at any time and anywhere.

These guys dare to offend even the two palaces of Cisheng.
