Chu Huan was a little confused. Yuan Chongshang had already smiled and said, "The merchants in Anyi are still wise. Tens of thousands of people besieged Yusuo Lake, and the craftsmen who are building ships are numerous, and eating, drinking, defecation and sensation are all problems. A while ago, Lu Lengyue, the president of the Taiyuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, came to his post. He had summoned all the merchants in Taiyuan Prefecture to join forces and contribute to the government."

When Chu Huan heard the three words "Lu Lengyue", the first thing he thought of was the man's son Lu Shixun. He thought that his enemies were narrow. It seemed that he was destined to have a tangle with the Lu family. He looked calm and said with a smile: "Lu Lengyue is the president of the Taiyuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce?"

Yuan Chongshang nodded and said, "It's only just a few days ago. In the past, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, no one else could have been involved in the Huang family. The Lu family is a native of Taiyuan. This family has lived here for hundreds of years. It has been engaged in grain business for several generations and has built a considerable family business. However, the Huang family came from behind because of his contribution to Long and he won the title of the Lu family's first Taiyuan business. Since its establishment, the title of the President of the Taiyuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce has always been carried by the Huang family. The Lu family has never been involved." He picked up the almond tea on the table and tasted it happily. "After the Huang family rebelled, the Lu family has become the most powerful and prestigious merchant in the entire Anyi Road. I handed over the title of the president of the Chamber of Commerce to their family."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "I have heard of the name of the first grain merchant in Taiyuan."

"The Lu family used to do grain business for the Huang family." Yuan Chongshang touched his thick jaw, "The Huang family used to be an official family, so naturally they could not do business openly. The shops under his name were nominally renting real estate to do business, but in fact they hired people to do business by themselves. Everyone knows this, but they just put on a layer of clothes outside. The biggest business of the Huang family is, in addition to aquatic products, is the grain business. Lord Chu, you think, the Huang family has thousands of hectares of land, and you don't need to pay it.

Paying taxes, the rent collected from the people is extremely heavy. The grain harvested every year is piled up like mountains. They can't let it rot in the warehouse, and they always have to sell the grain. Those grain merchants who make small fuss naturally cannot take on such big business. The Lu family was known as the first grain merchant in Taiyuan many years ago. Not only was the first grain merchant on Anyi Road, but the Lu family was also the first in the northern part of the empire. The business routes were extremely broad. The grain sold to the northwest every year is not a small amount."

Chu Huan said: "In this way, the Lu family is a great hero of the Huang family. They exchanged the Huang family's food for white silver."

"That's true." Yuan Chongshang smiled and said, "But although he has always been doing things for the Huang family, the Lu family has never been convinced of the Huang family from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Duke An Guo... Well, if it weren't for Huang Ju's high position and the Lu family was really not an opponent, they wouldn't have been inferior to others. This time the Huang family fell, and the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, the most happy one would probably be the Lu family."

"When the Huang family collapsed, the Lu family restored the glory of the first rich merchant on Anyi Road, so they were naturally happy." Chu Huan laughed and said, "With the care of the Governor, the Lu family can naturally take the Huang family and replace it."

Yuan Chongshang hurriedly said, "Mr. Chu, don't say that. I take care of the Lu family, but I don't have any personal relationship with them."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "My lord has misunderstood. I understand. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and officials in one party should govern the other party. These four things must be handled with caution. The Lu family has a very high prestige in the business world of Anyi Road. If you want to stabilize the business world of Anyi Road and make all merchants harmonious, you naturally need the help of the Lu family. The Governor is just planning state affairs."

Yuan Chongshang suddenly laughed, feeling that the imperial envoy had some meaning in his words, nodded and smiled, "Mr. Chu is indeed a sharp attack. The Huang family has collapsed, and the business community in Anyi cannot collapse." He sighed and said, "Mr. Chu doesn't know that after Huang Tianyi rebelled, the business community in Anyi was in panic. Six or seven out of ten big and small merchants in Anyi were more or less involved with the Huang family, and they were afraid of being implicated."

"It's normal for human nature!" Chu Huan nodded slightly.

"If the business world is really in chaos, Anyi will be in chaos." Yuan Chongshang sighed: "Appointing the Lu family as the president of the Chamber of Commerce is also a temporary solution, but the current situation is also imperative. The Lu family is the largest merchant under the Huang family. My official has a good deal with the Lu family and handing over the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce to the Lu family, so he can naturally stabilize the merchants. The biggest thing at the moment is to deal with the Huang family's rebellion first. If there are other things, after this matter, I will free up my hands to deal with it slowly."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "The Master told the ministers that Governor Yuan is extremely brave and loyal, and is a first-class loyal and brave general. Governor, before that, I always thought that Lord was a brave general, but when I saw him today, I realized that Lord was a great deal of handling political affairs. He was really both civil and military."

When Yuan Chongshang heard this, he felt very comfortable in his heart and laughed: "Mr. Chu has been awarded too much."

"My dear just now said that there is another big thing today, but I don't know what it is?"

"Oh!" Yuan Chongshang hurriedly said: "This matter started a few days ago, and the day was set for today. As I said just now, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were besieged in Yusuo Lake, and eating, drinking, defecation and urination were burdens. The Lu family found the official a few days ago and wanted to do their part for the government and prepare to gather some famous big merchants in Taiyuan Prefecture together to hold a dinner. This dinner was set for tonight."

"Oh?" Chu Huan said: "The Lu family wants to do something for the government?"

"That's right." Yuan Chongshang said: "Tonight, there will be many merchants in the Lu Garden of his Lu family. Commander Li and I will attend. At that time, Lu Lengyue will be the first to donate food and grass to the government during the meal. As long as Lu Lengyue takes action first, other merchants will also have money to pay and food to the food." A smug smile appeared on his lips, "Mr. Chu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You don't know that the merchants in Anyi have money in their pockets. Although in order to stabilize the business world, I will not act rashly on them or make them a rebellious party of the Huang family, but if you want your wife to be mediocre, you have to bring out some things."

Chu Huan drank a small mouthful of almond tea and said with a smile: "The Anyi turmoil is in turmoil, and the Governor is willing to calm the chaos. That is to make the merchants do their best to do business peacefully. They donated some money and grain, but it is understandable."

Yuan Chongshang laughed loudly, feeling that Chu Huan was really a little tempted, so he couldn't help but reach out and pat Chu Huan on the shoulder: "Mr. Chu, the Lu family wanted to ask the officer to come over to help the banquet tonight, but since Mr. Chu is here, you will be the emperor. When those merchants see it, they will probably work harder to donate."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Governor General, I actually want to meet the head of the first grain merchant in Taiyuan, his eldest son, I have never seen him for some days."

...

...

The first grain merchant in Taiyuan was not a false reputation.

The Lu family has been a puppet in the hands of the Huang family in the past decade and has gained amazing wealth for the Huang family from the grain. In Taiyuan City alone, there are eight rice shops in the Lu family.

Originally, the actual ownership of these rice shops was controlled by the Huang family, but after Huang Tianyi escaped, these eight rice shops naturally became the property of the Lu family.

The number one grain merchant in Taiyuan naturally has the style of being the number one grain merchant. It is located in Luyuan, the east city of Taiyuan City, and has always been a rare and luxurious mansion in Taiyuan City.

The Lu family has a profound foundation for a century, and it is not a false reputation.

When the lights were on, Lu Shixun, the eldest son of the Lu family, was dressed in a well-dressed manner, standing in front of the mansion to welcome guests. Today is a day for the Lu family. All merchants from Taiyuan Prefecture received invitations from the Lu family and wanted to attend the night banquet tonight.

Before the rise of the Huang family, the Lu family was the number one business in Taiyuan Prefecture. Later, it was suppressed by the Huang family for nearly 20 years. Now it has been re-received as the president of the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, which is a proud person.

Only the Lu family truly understands its significance for this title. It not only means that it can command the Taiyuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce in the future, but more importantly, it told merchants of all sizes of Anyi Road that the Lu family, which was once suppressed, finally stood up again today and became the overlord of the Taiyuan business world.

Now that things have come, the Taiyuan business community has naturally seen this situation clearly. The Lu family unexpectedly became the leader of the new chamber of commerce. Naturally, no one would refuse the invitations sent by the Lu family.

What's more, when the invitation is delivered, there will be another notice: Governor Yuan Chongshang and commander Li Wangsun will attend this night banquet, so no one will refuse to attend the appointment.

Lu Shixun's face looked very good. Although he was not handsome, he was also handsome. He was waiting for brocade, purple belts on his waist, and a blue short jacket with a beautiful blue jacket. From dusk, business figures from Taiyuan Prefecture came here in a constant stream. The front door of the Lu family was crowded with cars and horses.

Suddenly, he heard a clanging sound from the street. Lu Shixun turned his head and looked at it. He saw a team of iron-armed guards from the Governor's Mansion breaking into two teams, surrounded by a gorgeous carriage slowly coming.

Lu Shixun spread his eyebrows and hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Go and call Daddy, the Governor is here!"

The servant ran to report to Lu Bingyue, but Lu Shixun had tidy up his clothes, smiled all over his face, quickly stepped down the stone steps in front of the door, and went forward. The carriage was parked in front of the door. Lu Shixun was already standing next to the carriage, bowing his body, and was about to step forward to lift the curtain of the carriage for the Governor. Before he could do it, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by itself. Governor Yuan had already left the carriage, wearing a brocade robe at home. Lu Shixun smiled even more and said, "The grass people met with the Governor, the Governor was here, and the humble house was shining brightly."

Governor Yuan waved his hand, "Don't come to these stupid people, what kind of people who are not disappointed? If your Luyuan is a humble house, will our Taiyuan Mansion still have a house?" He turned around and smiled at the carriage, "Sir Chu, this is Luyuan."

Lu Shixun was stunned, and he could not have imagined that there was someone in the carriage.

Yuan Chongshang is a governor and a magistrate. Now that the Huang family has collapsed, Yuan Chongshang is the well-deserved Land Lord of Taiyuan Prefecture. What kind of person is he who can come with this Land Lord?
