He secretly speculated, and said with a slight analysis on his face: " Zhou Du will not fall out with the Zhuo family, he still has to hold the Zhuo family in his hands, the prince probably doesn't know, the Zhou family is through these generations, but it is only a downstream in the family, if there is no Zhuo family to give up the position of the toast, I am afraid that this downstream is also reluctant, the original local division of the position said that after the Zhuo family has a man, it will be returned, how can it be a few generations, even a man has never been born, and they are all daughters of a single line, to Zhuo Yima, it is better, finally pregnant with a second child, how can it still be a daughter, and the Zhuo family's current second room, but the third daughter of the head of the Zhuo family three generations ago, because he married his own family, and later when he split the family, he shared an extra family business, but because of the change of ownership of the position of this toast, the three daughters are very angry, and this vein has been ...... in the name of the second room."

Qin Li choked up, Prince An was clearly saying that Ma Min was good at marching and fighting, and he was not good at these mundane affairs, but he thought about it deeply, but he was saying that Ma Min had achieved nothing, and he couldn't even do this little thing handed over to him.

He lowered his head and said: "General Ma is busy with military affairs, and there are some who don't notice it for a while, I have already mentioned this matter to General Ma before I came, and he said that everything must be done according to the orders of the prince, even if I report it this time, there will be nothing in the mine." ”

Although the matter of the mine is heavy, it is not Chu Shaoyuan's greatest concern, after returning to western Sichuan, he has other important things to do, and Chu Shaolun came from Yunfu, it is not bad to take the opportunity to clean up the western Sichuan family.

"The Zhuo family has been a little uneasy recently," Chu Shaoyuan took a sip of tea, his face was a little impatient, and he frowned slightly, "When the Zhuo and Zhou families had a marriage contract before, the two families still had normal exchanges, but now it has become a stalemate, and the two families don't interact much, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will also have an impact on the situation in western Sichuan." ”

Although Qin Pi is in southern Sichuan, the taxes of the entire Sichuan and Guizhou have to go through his hands, so he knows the affairs of the Zhuo and Zhou families clearly.

He frowned lightly, thought for a while, and said: "Zhuo and Zhou families first had a mutually beneficial relationship, and then after the position of Tusi was inherited by the head of the Zhou family of the previous two generations, it gradually became a relationship of mutual containment. ”

"Since you are not convinced, why haven't you seen any movement? Aren't they all saying that the Gu Miao people have always been vigorous? Or do they have to worry that the Zhou family and the Zhuo family are in-laws, and they have always been unwilling to tear their faces?"

Although Chu Shaoyuan said this is a question, it is a rhetorical question, when anyone tastes the benefits brought by power, it is impossible to let go easily, even if it is an in-law, what is it? When it comes to fighting for power, I am afraid that father and son will turn against each other.

Qin Li was a little dazed by the question, and smiled bitterly after a while: "It's not impossible to tear your face, it's just that the next thing to do after tearing your face is to seize power, the Zhuo family is also a family with hundreds of years of family background, if they want to do it, they will only do it and make it bigger, and how it will end up will be decided after careful consideration, otherwise they will not act rashly." ”

This is the benefit of the family, it will not easily provoke trouble, but once it provokes trouble, it is easy to stop it, and it must be willing to die.

Chu Shaoyuan nodded: "The rise of the Zhou family is only a few generations, if the Zhou family still has something to ask for the Zhuo family, they will know when to bow their heads, Zhou Du is not a fool, he will definitely make a move." ”

Chu Shaoyuan has never looked at these families, and he let the Zhuo and Zhou families ignore it before, in order to hide people's eyes, intending to have military power in the hands of Ning Guogong, and now most of the soldiers in Ning Guogong's hands have been integrated into Ma Min's hands, and he has put Ning Guogong on a high platform, managing the training and marching of the soldiers every day, and the slightest right to march and fight is not in his hands, and it is no different from a wasted person.

The current Ning Guogong is no different from a plucked pheasant, if he makes a fierce fuss, Zhou Ruisheng is worried about the military salary, and with Zhou Ruisheng's hand, he can clean up Ning Guogong.

Now that I have my hands free, I can rectify and rectify these disobedient people's homes.

Qin Li looked at Chu Shaoyuan's determined face, and suddenly didn't understand whether Prince An wanted to muddy the water in western Sichuan, or if he had another plan.

He secretly speculated, and said with a slight analysis on his face: " Zhou Du will not fall out with the Zhuo family, he still has to hold the Zhuo family in his hands, the prince probably doesn't know, the Zhou family is through these generations, but it is only a downstream in the family, if there is no Zhuo family to give up the position of the toast, I am afraid that this downstream is also reluctant, the original local division of the position said that after the Zhuo family has a man, it will be returned, how can it be a few generations, even a man has never been born, and they are all daughters of a single line, to Zhuo Yima, it is better, finally pregnant with a second child, how can it still be a daughter, and the Zhuo family's current second room, but the third daughter of the head of the Zhuo family three generations ago, because he married his own family, and later when he split the family, he shared an extra family business, but because of the change of ownership of the position of this toast, the three daughters are very angry, and this vein has been ...... in the name of the second room."

As he spoke, a small servant from the porter came to say, "Lord Wang, Lord Lu asks to see you." ”

Chu Shaoyuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, since he returned to western Sichuan, these people have come to the mansion almost every day to ask for a meeting, he knows that this is all for 300,000 military salaries, but he did not refuse, but just ordered the little servant: "Entertain Lord Lu well in the flower hall, I still have some important things here, and I will go to meet guests later." ”

The little guy answered.

Qin Li hurriedly said: "Lord Lu must have something important here, otherwise ......"

"Don't pay attention to him!" Chu Shaoyuan waved his hand and motioned for him to continue the previous topic.

Qin Li understood more and more that Chu Shaoyuan was taking the affairs of the Zhuo and Zhou families seriously, so he didn't even care about the governor coming, and hurriedly told Chu Shaoyuan everything he knew.

"After inheriting the position of the Tusi, he handed over everything to the Zhou family, but the second daughter of the Zhuo family and the third daughter quarreled, one held the land serf in his hand, and the other pulled the elders of the clan to preside over the overall situation, and refused to give up half a point at all, only saying that if there was a man in the family, he would take back the position of the Tusi, which was three generations, and the second room of the Zhuo family gradually accumulated over the past few decades, and became the climate. ”

Chu Shaoyuan smiled lightly: "So this is the most difficult place, one refuses to hand over the family business, only gives people an empty shell, and the other is single-mindedly drilling, delusionally thinking that one day he will be able to take all the things in the other party's hands, with such entanglement, the previous Miao rebellion failed to harm western Sichuan, and it can be regarded as a little benefit left by the two families in western Sichuan, unlike southern Sichuan, things have calmed down until now, and they have not fully recovered their vitality." ”

If this were not the case, the commander of the envoy would not have been released to southern Sichuan.

Qin Li nodded: "Under the hands of General Ma and Lord Zhou, Southern Sichuan has gradually begun to recover its former prosperity, but it will take a while for everything to return to the way it was before, which is why Lord Zhou is so concerned about military salaries." ”

"You go back first, and when Zhou Ruisheng comes again, you will tell him that the military salary should be paid to the guards in western Sichuan first, and then go to southern Sichuan when this side is over, so that he can rest easy, if he is not in a hurry, let him go to Ning Guogong to ask for it, these guards can be managed by Ning Guogong, you are a political envoy, where can you manage military affairs. ”

This is to teach him how to deal with Zhou Ruisheng, Qin Li looked grateful: "Don't worry, Lord Zhou, I can still deal with it, but General Ma's side is a little tricky, he has always regarded the mine as the first important thing to do, and now that the prince wants to change people, General Ma is afraid that he will think of other superiors." ”

Qin Li said the fact that Ma Min's belly was small without subtlety, which made Chu Shaoyuan a little surprised, but this surprise only passed in an instant, and he didn't care much and said: "Ma Min doesn't need you to worry too much, I have my own plans." ”

"Lord, there is one more thing," Qin Li stood up and arched his hand, "My father-in-law is seriously ill, and my father-in-law has come to Yizhou City to visit my father-in-law these days. ”

Chu Shaoyuan had heard a little about the relationship between Qin Li and his wife, and knew that Mrs. Qin's Zheng family's maiden family had retired in western Sichuan, and she was also a big clan before, but she was tired by Qin Li later, and most of the clansmen were dormant in western Sichuan, and there were few people who entered the office, only being a squire and rich, just like the previous Zhu family, but the Zhu family was noble and the Zheng family was rich.

He smiled: "It just so happens that the prince of Fuguo brought some fat powder for female dependents from Yunfu to the princess, and a few days ago the princess also said that she would send it to a few ladies in southern Sichuan, and now Mrs. Qin can come to western Sichuan, needless to say." ”

Qin Li listened to Chu Shaoyuan's promise, his heart was relieved, and he said a few words of thanks and then took his leave.

Chu Shaoyuan pondered silently for a moment in the study before getting up and going to the flower hall.

Lu Shu had already waited for three trips to tea, and he didn't dare to use it more after only using one cup, for fear that he would be disrespectful in front of Chu Shaoyuan later.

"Lord Wang. Lu Shu got up to meet Chu Shaoyuan, but there was no smile on his face, and his sad face made Chu Shaoyuan startled.

"But I haven't seen you for more than a month, why is Lord Lu so emotional? But what happened?"

Chu Shaoyuan just asked, and Lu Shu fell to the ground, and said with teary eyes: "I heard that the Holy Admiral gave 300,000 military salaries to Chuan Gui, and I thought that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past few days, and the soldiers of the guard had suffered for more than half a year, so they should also be considerate......

Chu Shaoyuan looked at the selfless and gushing Lu Shu of the Grand Duke, and the hand that stretched out to help him suddenly retracted, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked at him with anger and anger.

Until he said: "Ning Guogong came to the door for a few days in a row, all of which were to urge his ministers to pay for the army, and there were many allusions in the words, saying that the military salary had arrived at the minister's place, but the minister secretly filled his own pocket and did not distribute it to the soldiers, the minister was really frightened, and he thought about it and felt that this infamy should not be borne by the minister, and the minister had to lick his face to beg the prince, only hoping that the prince could save the minister's life!"

Chu Shaoyuan was furious: "Lord Lu's subordinate, this king does not dare to agree, there is not an inch in the world that is not owned by the father, and there is no one in the court who is not the father and the king's courtiers, what is the duty of a courtier, it should not be reminded by this king that Lord Lu is." ”

Lu Shu's loyalty can be said to have been slapped on the horse's leg, and he was angry at the moment, but he didn't dare to show half of it.
