Chapter 237: The Nanfu Army Descends the Mountain!
@: Chapter 237
At night, the study of the old lady of the Lu family in Jiangning, "Dongpo Zhai", was brightly lit.
The old lady stays in the yamen on weekdays, and the old man can't take care of the affairs of the family at all, and in ordinary times, he can't go back to Jiangning a few times a month, and he comes back every day for a while.
The old lady has returned home and is diligent, and the big housekeeper Hong Quan is busy, and Hong Quan, who is already old and frail, has looked even more rickety and old these days.
"Old lady, the Nanfu army has gone down the mountain!" Hong Quan was hunched on his back, his shadow was stretched long, and he stood in Lu Shanchang's study like a ghost.
Lu Shanchang was lying on the chair with his eyes closed, and when he heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and the essence in his eyes flickered, and he suddenly stood up and said, "What? Really down the hill? This...... How is this done? ”
Hong Quan bowed his head and said: "We don't know the details, but one thing is certain, that is, Brother Zheng played a key role in it, and countless things can prove that Nie Yong is obedient to Brother Zheng'er, and even the whole matter of Liuhe, behind it is Brother Zheng who is planning and planning......"
"......Huh" Lu Shanchang exhaled and said, "Things are getting more and more interesting now, we keep an eye on it, Lu Zheng's various things can be mastered, but the Gu family may not be able to understand the reason."
Hehe, the Gu family is the number one wealthy family in Jiangnan, how should they deal with the current situation in Liuhe this time? Once the Nanfu army descends the mountain, it is estimated that Old Man Gu will not be able to sit still! ”
Hong Quandao: "At present, two battalions have arrived at the East Gate Wharf, and temporary camp tents have been set up in that area, and there are more than 10,000 people on the Shanmu Bridge where the Dongmen Wharf is located, which is really lively, and the prices of land and shops near the Shanmu Bridge have been pushed up again.
If it is true that all five battalions have descended the mountain, it will be more than 30,000 people, and the fir bridge will definitely surpass the seven-hole bridge and become the most prosperous place in Liuhe! ”
Hong Quan is in charge of the family, and he is a businessman in his bones, so he pays more attention to the affairs of businessmen, he controls the largest hidden force of the Lu family, and a large part of this hidden force is now used to grasp Lu Zheng's whereabouts.
So what Lu Zheng did in Liuhe, everything was basically mastered, in his eyes, Lu Zheng's most beautiful thing was to exchange the eighteen shops on the fir bridge for the eighteen shops on the seven-hole bridge. Starting from Lu Zheng's large-scale purchase of land at the Dongmen Wharf, he used the matter of Wuying going down the mountain to coax the land near the Dongmen Wharf to be coaxed, and the saline-alkali land that no one was willing to buy before became fragrant buns overnight.
As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as Lu Zheng is willing, he can sell a large piece of land near the Shanmu Bridge, and he will immediately make a lot of money, and in this process, Lu Zheng did not pay the slightest cost, and he was completely a white wolf with empty gloves.
"The second child gave birth to a good son, hehe, if he can be as smart as Brother Zheng, why would the Lu family come to such a situation today?" Lu Shan said.
Hong Quandao: "Old lady, in fact, Brother Zheng'er's deliberate estrangement from the Lu family should be quite meaningful. In today's situation, the Jiangnan power lord has lost power, if Brother Zheng returns to the Lu family, first of all, the identity of the Lu family is his huge constraint.
And now it is rumored that he is not tolerated by his mother-in-law and forced to leave the Lu family, which is not a good thing for him. In addition, Nie Yong's identity is known to the world, and he is Dai Gao's sworn enemy.
Brother Zheng is a student of Nie Yong, he and the Dai family are incompatible, if he enters Beijing in this capacity, his background as a power lord in Jiangnan will be even more diluted, with his talent and talent, he will definitely be able to achieve something in the future......"
Lu Shanchang bowed his head lightly and said: "As long as Lu Zheng is successful, he can't get rid of his identity as a child of the Lu family after all, the Lu family is not afraid of him flying high at all, the higher he flies, the more beneficial it will be to the family, isn't that so?" ”
"What the old lady said was more straightforward and understandable than what the old slave said. But ......"
Lu Shanchang frowned slightly and said, "But what? If you have anything to say, don't ramble! ”
Hong Quan lowered his head and said: "I look at the meaning of the second master, he still wants to call Brother Zheng back, yesterday he sent Ximenye to Liuhe, I guess it was to test Nie Yong's attitude." Old lady ......"
"Idiot!" Lu Shanchang said angrily, he slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground: "This idiot, it's just damned!" Does his mind think I don't understand? Staying in the General Administration Department feels that I have condescended, and I think I can make up for the real shortcomings! He doesn't pee on himself, just his bowl of water, it's still shallow! ”
Hong Quan took a step back and said in a low voice: "Master, in fact, it is not difficult for the second master to make up for the real shortcomings, why haven't you let go?" ”
"You know what? Now the situation in Jiangnan is very delicate, you see which family of people, who is really lacking? Let me tell you this, the eyes of those imperial historians are always on our family.
If you make up for the real shortcomings, if you want to do something, you must be referred to by the imperial historians, otherwise, you will do nothing, so how will the Jiangnan power lords be viewed in Jiangnan?
People are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, this is the situation in Jiangnan, otherwise, why did the four families in Jiangnan fall to this point? ”
Lu Shanchang changed his words and said: "You warn the second child, let him not act rashly, otherwise I will let him stay in the General Administration Department, and go home directly to think about it behind closed doors!" ”
"In addition, pay close attention to the movements of the Gu family, and if the six are in turmoil, let's watch the tiger fight across the river!"
……
Lu Shanchang watched the tiger fight across the river, and the Gu family was really a little panicked.
After Gu Tianyang of the Gu family heard about the Nanfu army going down the mountain, he urgently called Gu Shengjiang and Gu Shenghai over, and the father and son conspired overnight.
Gu Shengjiang was already panicked, and he said, "Father, this matter is not good, this Nie Yong is going to be a big deal!" I think we should find a way to move him, if he continues to stay in Liuhe, our forces in Liuhe will have to be uprooted! ”
Gu Shenghai smiled coldly and said: "Big brother, Nie Yong is just a small character, it is very simple to move a small county magistrate with the strength of our Gu family in Jiangnan, but as long as Zhan Tianqi is still there, and one Nie Yong is gone, then there will be Zhang Yong, Liu Yong, how many people can we replace?" ”
"Fourth, what do you mean? Isn't it cool? Do you think that you don't care about Liuhe's affairs, so you think that this matter has nothing to do with you? Gu Shengjiang said angrily.
"Big brother, don't say that, I'm here to help you today! He San, a minion, has been spoiled all these years, and he is crazy in Liuhe, if he hadn't stabbed the basket, Nie Yong would have done this kind of thing of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle?
In these years, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention that Nie Yong is still a county magistrate wearing a seven-grade black gauze hat on his head? He San is a minion, and what he keeps saying is not to give Nie Yongsheng a way.
Okay, he didn't give Nie Yong a way to live, Nie Yong is now a backhand blow, and everyone has no way out! ”
Gu Shenghai paused and said, "He San didn't have a way out, he was asking for his own hardship, there is nothing to be sorry for." But the Nanfu army went down the mountain, they occupied the Dongmen wharf, and the entire river stretched for dozens of kilometers under their control, what should I do with the cargo of my Gu family after all these years? ”
Gu Shengjiang said: "Fourth, you are less alarmist, you also have one who said that you would not give Nie Yong a way to live, and you blame the slave when the basket is stabbed, is this what you do as a master?"
The Nanfu army is the army of the imperial court, and their supplies are in our hands, I don't believe they dare to rob it, they are really going to tear their faces, this matter has reached the capital, and it is not good for everyone. ”
Gu Shenghai said: "Big brother, do they need to rob it?" They only need to set up a few cards on the official road to let the goods through the Dongmen Wharf pay a little more, and our River Valley Wharf will be wasted.
All the goods have gone from the East Gate Wharf, as long as they run the East Gate Wharf well, is it not a waste of money for them to earn? If we don't get the money down, can we do anything about it? ”
When Gu Shenghai said this, Gu Shengjiang was immediately speechless.
The old lady Gu Tianyang didn't speak, the brothers pinched each other, and Gu Shenghai had the upper hand. After separating the winners and losers, they were all silent, waiting for the old man to make a decision!
"Do you know about something lately? Lu Qian of the Lu family has a son, who was in the limelight on the Qinhuai River a few days ago, and the whole Jinling knows about this son! The Lu family has Lin'er! Gu Tianyang said.
"Uh......" Gu Shengjiang and Gu Shenghai looked at each other, I don't know why the old man suddenly came up with this topic, everyone is talking about Liuhe.
Gu Tianyang snorted and said, "I know your virtues, and my eyes only know about staring at those sesame mung beans, but I don't know anything that really matters." ”
"Father, I know this Lu Zheng, he is indeed a talent, and this son is now in Liuhe, and Nie Yong, the commander of Liuhe County, is his teacher.
It is said that this son is amazingly talented, not only can poetry and songs, but also the study of the world is quite powerful, Nie Yong's various means in Liuhe, maybe there is a shadow of this son behind it! "Gu Shenghai said.
"Nonsense, I don't know how much ability Lu Qian has? As a father, he is ambitious and talented, he is half a bucket of water, what good son can he give birth to?
It is possible to say that this son is a little anxious, and it is pure nonsense to say that he can help Nie Yong with advice, a yellow-mouthed child who has not dried up, can he still have the ability to let the Nanfu army go down the mountain? Gu Shengjiang said in a loud voice, disapproving against Gu Shenghai's words.
Gu Tianyang sighed softly and said: "Boss, you can put the matter of Liuhe first, this matter will be handed over to the fourth child to take care of it for the time being, you have been living more and more over the years, is it that you have let you take care of the affairs of the family too much, you don't care about anything, you have been completely numb?" ”
Gu Shengjiang's face changed drastically, his legs fell to his knees, and he said in great trepidation: "Father, child...... Wrong! ”
"What did you do wrong?"
Gu Shengjiang was speechless, he didn't know what he was wrong with, he just said a few words to Lu Zheng, why was he wrong? Why is the old man so dissatisfied?
