Seeing the green tendons bursting out from time to time when the right hand of the Marquis of Luyang Township holding the ring ruler appeared, Zhao Yu was also a little apprehensive in his heart.

At his age, if he is caught and spanked by his father, how embarrassing it is...... Well, in fact, it doesn't seem that serious to outsiders.

However, seeing that his father hesitated because of his words, Zhao Yu still hurriedly flattered: "Dad, in fact, the child doesn't want to hide it, isn't the child afraid that you will be tired and want to share your worries?" ”

"Worry?" Luyang Xianghou glanced at his son and sneered: "My biggest worry is you!" …… Wild! ”

"Yes, yes, Dad, you are taught." Zhao Yu lowered his eyebrows and nodded again and again, and then pretended to be helpless and said: "But the matter has come to this, even if you beat the child to death, you can't change it...... Besides, why don't you ask? The child thinks it's going well......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing this, the Luyang townsman frowned slightly and glanced at his son.

He went to Ruyang to find his son this time, because he learned that this kid opened a shop in Ruyang without consulting him, and he worked face-to-face with the Zheng family in Ruyang, but what was the situation, he was both worried and angry along the way, but he really didn't have time to think about it.

Looking at this kid's triumphant appearance right now, it seems that the situation is not bad?

"Then tell me about the current situation." He said in a deep voice.

"Good...... Dad, you have worked hard along the way, and I will hold the ring ruler for you. Zhao Yu nodded, and reached out to take the ring ruler from his father's hand flatteringly.

The Marquis of Luyang glanced at his son, put the ring ruler aside, and said lightly: "No need, maybe you can use it later." …… Go ahead. ”

Zhao Yugan laughed twice, and then told the Luyang Township Marquis about his way to repay the Ruyang Zheng family, from his first month to Ruyang County Ling Wang Dan asked for the certificate and the title deed of some shops, and then to today's grain and rice price war with the Zheng family, although the Luyang Township Marquis was very dissatisfied with his son's behavior of making claims, but he could not deny that this kid was really meticulous in doing things, and it was hard to imagine that he was only an eleven-year-old child.

But......

"That's your plan?"

He frowned and looked at his son, and asked, "Lowering the price of rice, forcing the Zheng family to lower the price of rice, like this, killing a thousand enemies and losing a thousand yourself, is the method you are proud of and use to repay the Zheng family?" ”

After that, he reached out to touch the ring ruler, but he didn't touch it twice.

He turned his head in confusion, only to find that the ruler was missing.

"It's just my father and son in this car......

The townsman of Luyang turned his head to look at Jing Nu, but saw Jing Nu sitting in the corner with a panicked face, sitting straight, with a pair of small hands behind her back, and when he looked at it, the little girl lowered her head in panic.

To tell the truth, the townsman of Luyang could see the end of the ring ruler from the back of the girl's head, and Jingnu's bowing of her head undoubtedly became more and more exposed.

"What a quiet girl!"

At this time, his son Zhao Yu was praising the loyal maid's guardian behavior in his heart, and at the same time quickly pulled his father's attention back: "Dad, don't worry, this is just the first step." …… It's all to blame on Cao Guan, he was too cautious, so he only brought 200 stone meters, what can these 200 stone meters be used for? In fact, even if the father doesn't come, the child is ready to go back, go back and discuss with Steward Cao......"

As he spoke, he glanced at his father and immediately changed his words: "Of course, I will also discuss it with my father." ”

The Marquis of Luyang glanced at his son, and then frowned and pondered: "I am roughly clear about your plan. …… In the same way, you can make up for the losses from the Wancheng Military Market, and the Zheng family ...... Oh, no wonder you want to ask Cao An to spread rumors unfavorable to the Zheng family in Luyang and Ye counties, and instigate the people of the two counties to boycott the Zheng family, it seems that as early as last year, you had already thought of the follow-up...... In other words, when your father told you to think about the long term, you said yes yes on your lips, but in your heart, you had already made up your mind, right? ”

"Dad, you're really embarrassed to say this, how can a child be as smart as you say."

"I'm not praising you!" The Luyang townsman glared at his son.

He originally wanted to use the ring ruler to scare and scare this kid again, but considering that the ring ruler had been hidden by Jing Nu's little girl who was the protector......

"Anyway...... I only found out today that this little girl doesn't seem to be very smart, she really didn't notice that the ring ruler is erected higher than her sitting upright?"

Glancing back at Jingnu with a strange expression, the Marquis of Luyang shook his head slightly, then turned his head to look at his son, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, your method can't be said to be a stupid way to kill a thousand enemies and damage a thousand yourself, but it can't be said to be very smart, if the Zheng family will really be knocked down by one of your shops, then he is not worthy of being called a famous family in Henan." …… With your intelligence, I don't believe you don't understand this truth, so honestly tell me all the plans in your heart. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu didn't care whether it was suitable or not, and hurriedly patted his father's ass: "It's not a loss, it's Dad, the child's idea was so easily seen through by you......"

Jokes aside, he still whispered to his father about his follow-up plans.

At first, the Marquis of Luyang nodded slightly when he heard this, but in the end, he looked at his son with eyes as if he had seen a ghost, and his eyes were full of shock.

"Dad, that's a good idea, isn't it?" Zhao Yu asked with a grin.

"It's not bad! According to this son's strategy, I'm afraid that the Ruyang Zheng family will really suffer a blood loss this time! This kid, even if he is protected by his ancestors, this is ......

Glancing at his son, who was quite proud, the Marquis of Luyang pretended to stroke his beard calmly, so as to alleviate the shock in his heart, nodded and said casually: "It's okay, it's a good idea." ”

"That'...... The child just continued? Zhao Yu said tentatively.

Hearing this, a little hesitation appeared on the face of the Luyang Township Marquis.

At this moment, he is no longer worried about the problem of whether to fight or not to fight the Zheng family, but he can't help but feel worried about the Zheng family, don't smash the century-old family business in the hands of his son because of the battle of will, the question is, do the two really have to get along?

As if he had guessed his father's thoughts, Zhao Yu persuaded in a low voice: "Dad, seek peace through struggle, peace can last for a long time." …… Dad, you want to reconcile with the Zheng family, but at least you have to let them face me Zhao and reconcile with charity, don't say that the Zheng family is unwilling, even if they are willing, are you willing to kneel and accept it? ”

Hearing his son's words, the Luyang Township Marquis nodded slowly.

"Go for it. …… has already torn his face with the Zheng family, what else can he say for his father. ”

"Father is wise!"

On the same day, Zhao Yu took Jingnu and Zhang Ji and left Ruyang with his father Luyang Township.

Two days later, with the acquiescence of the Marquis of Luyang, the chief steward Cao Ju again sent people to Ruyang to transport grain, using fifty carriages to transport a total of 1,000 stones.

This thousand stones of grain and rice entered Ruyang City, and Ruyang City became lively again.

Originally, they saw that after the Zhao family and the Zheng family fought for a day, the two families did not move, and mistakenly thought that the two families had made peace in private, but for some reason they did not restore the price of rice to the same as before.

But this time, the Zhao family transported a thousand stone meters in one go, where does this menacing posture look like he is making peace with the Zheng family?

Seeing the lively Ruyang people, they almost shouted directly: Fight, fight!

Thinking about it, the Zhao and Zheng families are about to fight fiercely, and they benefit more and more.

At this time, Zheng Qian, the prince of the Marquis of Ruyang, also learned the news that the Zhao family had transported another thousand stone rice, and he was unimpressed.

After all, the price of Zhao's rice shop is still one hundred and fifty yuan a stone, and at this price, even if he Zheng Qian accompanies him to the end, he has no pressure.

In contrast, Zheng Qian is more concerned about the Zhao father and son - the Luyang townsman has never been on the road in Ruyang, and his young but cunning second son Zhao Yu has not known where he has gone these days, which is what makes Zheng Qian feel scruples.

I'm afraid Zheng Qian never thought that when he was waiting for Zhao Yu to appear again at the Zheng's rice shop on Ruyang West Street, Zhao Yu, accompanied by the chief steward Cao Ju, visited the county commanders of Rushui counties in order.

The so-called Rushui counties actually refer to several county towns along the Rushui coast, such as Linru, Lunshi, Ruyang, Yangren, Jiaxian, Runan, etc., among them, Ruyang, Yangren, Runan are three large counties, and the rest are small counties.

Of course, even if it is a small county, because it is close to Rushui, the water transportation is convenient, and there are large counties around, so it is almost the same as Luyang.

The first stop of Zhao Yu's visit was Zhai Yu and Zhai Gonghe, the county commanders of Lunshi County.

Lunshi County is located between Ruyang and Yangren - or Yangcheng, look at the geographical location, this county is located in the Zheng family of Ruyang, after all, it is Ruyang to the west, is the residence of the Zheng family in Ruyang, and the east is Yangcheng, Yangcheng County Commander Zhengzhou, Zheng Zixiang, is a member of the Zheng family.

Because of this, when he learned that the second son of the Luyang Zhao family came to visit with the chief steward Cao Ju, the first reaction of this Zhai County Commander was not there.

After all, when the Marquis of Ruyang invited them last time, the Luyang Zhao clan was clearly at odds with the Ruyang Zheng clan, and when he met the people of the Luyang Zhao clan again, didn't he offend the Zheng clan?

But after a moment of thought, this Zhai County Commander thought of the abnormality of Wang Dan and Wang Fengzhong of Ruyang County next door recently - obviously they had previously agreed to join forces in Rushui County to cut off the money and grain funding given to Luyang County, but in early February, that Wang County Commander didn't know what to think, so he secretly sent County Lieutenant Yan Yuan to Luyang to send money and grain.

Because the two counties were close to each other, Zhai Yu was stunned when he heard the news.

He couldn't understand why Wang Dan, who usually had a good relationship with the Zheng family, suddenly fell to Luyang County without warning.

After thinking about it, he felt that the key reason must be on the Luyang Zhao family.

Thinking of this, this Zhai County Commander met with Zhao Yu and Cao Ju, although he couldn't afford to offend the Zheng family, but if the Luyang Zhao family could really force Ruyang County to make Wang Dan defect, then he couldn't afford to offend either-after all, he was also clear about the forces behind the Wang County Order.

Therefore, when meeting Zhao Yu and Cao Ju this time, this Zhai County Commander was still relatively polite, with a second son, and the courtesy was full.

It wasn't until Zhao Yu said that his purpose was to hope that Zhai Yu would allow him Zhao to open a shop in Lunshi County, the smile on the face of this Zhai County Commander immediately froze.

Fools can guess that this second son of the Zhao family must be trying to deal with the Zheng family.

"This, this ......"

Zhai County Ling was embarrassed, rubbing his hands and not knowing how to refuse politely.

And at this moment, he suddenly heard Zhao Yu say with a smile: "The prince of Ruyang has already allowed my Zhao family to enter his county seat to open a shop, what is Zhai Gong hesitating?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhai Yu looked shocked.

In just a moment, when Zhao Yu and Cao Ju said goodbye to this Zhai County Commander, he had successfully achieved his goal and obtained the certificate to open a shop in Lunshi County.
