Lu Hao, who asked several times and still didn't get an answer, had to smile helplessly, but fortunately, he knew that the eldest brother was not going to rebel, and a big stone fell in his heart, plus the trouble just now, the depression in Lu Hao's heart was reduced a lot, so he sat back at the table, picked up a pen and paper and prepared to write down the next order of the eldest brother.

But he didn't expect Xu Chen to go and return, half of his body stood diagonally outside the door and rushed to Lu Hao and said: "That's right! I forgot to say it just now, this time let them change the code book, although these irregular Chinese characters are easier to check, but once they fall into the hands of others, they can react at a glance, let's change to an ordinary book!"

"Uh...... Let's just use "Lü's Spring and Autumn"! It is suitable for our age, even if it is discovered, we will not feel anything unusual, and besides, we are not afraid of losing it if it is sold everywhere, just tell them to use the original method to mark it!" Xu Chen thought for a moment and then said.

"Good ......" Lu Hao was still a little sullen.

Xu Chen smiled, and then walked away.

After the tea, a carrier pigeon, also tied with a red ribbon, took off from Yuzhang City and flew towards Yangzhou City in the northwest.

A day and a half later, after only changing the contact point twice, we arrived in Yangzhou City.

It's just that at this moment, Yangzhou City has long lost the style of the largest city in the southeast!

It was night when the carrier pigeons arrived, and the sky was gray with no moon, let alone stars!

Looking down from the sky, Yangzhou City, which was brightly lit like a pearl in the past, is now like returning to the curfew years in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that the vast majority of Qinglou liquor stores on both sides of the street have long been out of business, and only the largest ones are still operating miserably.

There was a faint sadness and sorrow in the city at night, which was now being covered by the cold night, and I was afraid that it would explode strongly after dawn.

Pigeons streaked across the sky and landed on a manor house in the northwestern suburbs of the city.

The sound of "cooing" sounded, and it was immediately noticed by the young man on duty. The young man skillfully took out the small bamboo tube and ran quickly towards Wang Tieniu's room.

After reading the letter, Wang Tieniu immediately shouted outside the house: "Someone!

After a while, Li Xian walked into the house: "Owner!"

"Big brother has a letter! Look at it!" After speaking, Wang Tieniu handed him the blank paper.

Li Xian respectfully took it, and after reading it carefully, he said, "Does the big boss mean to let us give up the original plan?"

Wang Tieniu nodded and said: "Yes, give up the original plan to acquire the land outside the South Gate, and wait until the next round of price increases to empty the remaining land in your hand and then leave Yangzhou and go to Jiangning or Suzhou and Hangzhou, but before you leave, you should find a way to spread the news and build up the momentum of these places! In addition, the fourth child is also doing the same thing in Yizhou, which can be regarded as echoing our things!"

"As long as the land price rises again, we will soon be able to empty the land in our hands, Jiangning and Suzhou and Hangzhou are also prosperous places in the southeast, but if we want to build momentum, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?

"Yes! The last time we were directly in the capital to indirectly control Zou Run, in Yuzhang and influenced Lu Zongbao, borrowing the general trend of both sides to succeed, now the director of the city is Cui Jianyu, the emperor is far away, according to his identity as Boling Cui, even Yangzhou Taishou has to bow down in front of him, want to influence him to let him expand the jurisdiction of the city department, these are not so easy!" Wang Tieniu also frowned and said.

"But it's not completely without a chance, the ambition of this group of people from the Seven Sects and Five Surnames is very great, plus this time the heart of earning in Yangzhou City will naturally find a way to expand the results, we can make good use of this. Wang Tieniu continued.

"The owner, will Ji An's out?" Li Xian looked at Wang Tieniu and asked.

"Hehe!" Wang Tieniu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "You really treat me as Zhuge and reincarnated!

"In the eyes of the small, isn't the owner Zhuge Kongming!" Li Xian said with a flattering smile.

"Okay! Okay! The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes! Hurry back to work, let me think about the things here, anyway, it's not a hurry now, I don't think these people will stop if they don't clean up the land in Yangzhou!"

Wang Tieniu waved his hand to make Li Xian retreat.

At the same time, in a pavilion in the small courtyard where the Lu family brothers were, Yang Fan and the Lu family brothers were drinking and chatting in the pavilion.

Now it's February, the cold wind at night has lost its coldness, a few curtains have been lowered around the pavilion, slightly blocking the night wind, in the pavilion, there is a set of scorching tools in the center, a deer that has been peeled is slowly roasting on the shelf, with the "squeak" sound continues to sound, the skin of the fawn has become golden.

After a while, when the meat was ready, the cook took out a gorgeous knife, quickly cut off a piece of meat from the center of the fawn's forehead, and then took off a piece of tenderloin from the fawn's back, cut it one by one, dipped it in green salt, and then used a plate to serve it towards the table of the host and guest.

After handing the tender meat to the guest Yang Fan, the cook placed another tray in front of the Lu brothers.

"Brother Yang, try it! The half-year-old deer that has just been slaughtered, hurry up and eat it while the weather is not warm, otherwise you will have to wait for winter! Originally, we should be the masters to personally cut off this tender meat between your eyebrows, but our brothers are both scholars who have no power to tie the chicken, and this skill is really unsatisfactory, so it is not good to be ugly in front of others!" Lu Zongbao said to Yang Fan with a smile.

"Haha, what do you care about! These things that Rory is talking about are originally the barbarian rites of those Zihu people, and they have nothing to do with our Chinese etiquette state, and if it's messy, it's messy!" Yang Fan said with a hearty smile.

When the Lu brothers heard this, they smiled and lowered their heads and began to eat barbecue.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of meat, it's time to get down to business!

"Brother Lu, the price of land in Yangzhou City is really fucking low now! It's almost half of last year's time!

Yang Fan has been quite happy these days! Seeing the land price in Yangzhou City falling day by day, not to mention how beautiful it is!

It's just that it's been a few days, but Lu Zongbao hasn't let him start, and now he took this opportunity to bring it up again.
