Chapter 100: Tai Chi
Liu Lei followed his subordinates into the living room, and the subordinates suddenly turned around and whispered: "Young master, the master asked me to tell you that he has already found out about the fire, and this matter is over!" ”
Liu Lei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Liu Fu was naturally Liu Tianyu's final say, if he wanted to know something, it must be very simple, and he naturally knew what was going on, and what happened just now was also a compensation and show of favor to Liu Lei.
After speaking, the next person knocked on the door, got Liu Tianyu's answer and gently pushed the door open, at this time there were already a lot of people sitting in the hall, who were qualified to enter here are naturally people with a high family status, the door opened and everyone's eyes were focused, Liu Lei appeared in front of everyone for the first time in an official capacity, naturally he wanted to leave a good impression on everyone, he took a deep breath to suppress the tension in his heart, stepped in and respectfully said: "Liu Lei of the Liu family has seen his father and the heads of the family, all the adults"
Seeing that Liu Lei was immature but behaved calmly, everyone couldn't help but nodded in praise, and Liu Tianyu, who was sitting on the main seat, said: "Well, Lei'er, go over and sit, today I will discuss some important matters with my husband and the elders, you can listen, don't open your mouth at will."
Liu Lei raised his head and answered, nodded lightly, and then was led to the corner by his subordinates to sit down, he nodded just now and believed that Liu Tianyu had understood what he meant.
"Hahaha, this is the eldest young master of the Liu family, he is really a talent, not bad," an old nobleman sitting beside Liu Tianyu nodded and praised.
"Well, I agree with Brother Zhang's words, especially some time ago, Liu Lei was a great hero who saved our southern border," one person said.
Liu Tianyu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhang and Brother Li are too famous, and Xiao'er is just opportunistic, and he can't be called a great achievement."
But Liu Tianyu's words didn't play a role, hearing him say this, more people began to praise again and again, the people who can come to the Liu family today are all the lords of the southern border, the original reinforcements are all from their family, and there are descendants of their families in the army, naturally they are a little more grateful to Liu Lei, anyway, they don't want to praise it, and the behavior of the icing on the cake is naturally not stingy in language.
After listening to everyone's words, even Liu Lei's cheekiness couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly stood up and thanked him under the signal of Liu Tianyu's eyes, Liu Tianyu also took the opportunity to terminate the topic, although Liu Lei had merit, but it was too much, but it became a killing, Liu Tianyu was also afraid that Liu Lei would be young and vigorous and hear too much praise, and he would be arrogant and suffer a big loss in the future.
"Guys, let's talk about business, what do you think after the Great War in the South?"
mentioned the war that made all the southern lords some time ago, and sure enough, the attention of all the lords was attracted to the past, Liu Lei breathed a sigh of relief, it's not that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, with the experience and memory of the earth, Liu Lei knows that only by being muffled can he make a fortune, and the more swaggering, the easier it is to become the target of others.
"Brother Liu, this time I have also made a great contribution, didn't the city lord tell you anything?" A nobleman asked.
"Yes! Dude, tell me what's your news! ”
"Brother Liu, let's talk about it......"
……
Everyone said gossipily, and Liu Lei on the side listened to everyone's words and then knew that Liu Tianyu was the biggest hero of this war, it turned out that when the northern front received the enemy's invasion of the south, everyone was in a hurry to come back to the rescue, but Liu Tianyu offered advice to Wang Haoran, the lord of Tianqi City, and pretended that the northern front line was empty through the action of the army's reinforcements, lured the enemy deep and then ambushed, and although Liu Tianyu was a new nobleman, he was very valued by Wang Haoran, and Wang Haoran, who was in turmoil, immediately accepted Liu Tianyu's suggestion, Regardless of the opposition of his younger brother Wang Pengdao, he deliberately put on a panicked appearance of empty troops, and completely annihilated the vanguard army of the Storm City-State, which unexpectedly staged a good scene of encircling Wei to save Zhao, which also explains why Wang Pengdao made a small pit to Liu Lei when he first saw Liu Lei, and Liu Tianyu had a lot of new faces on his birthday this time.
After listening to everyone's words, Liu Tianyu touched his nose and said helplessly: "You don't know, although the city lord has some courtesy to me, but because our battle in the south is really unsatisfactory, and in order to appease Wang Pengdao, I still feel that the appointment of Wang Pengdao's deputy city lord as the general manager of the southern border was issued on the day the army retreated, and it was impossible to take it back!" ”
Alas!
Everyone sighed when they heard it, although they were unwilling to accept this battle, the nobles in the south were really embarrassed.
"Bullshit, if we hadn't transferred the main force of our private army to the front line in the north, would we be so embarrassed?" A nobleman said unwillingly.
"Alas! Who said no, our southern border is richer than the northern border because of its proximity to the Warcraft Forest, this Wang Pengdao deputy city lord has proposed many times to increase the tax burden on our southern border, but the city lord has refused, this time let him come to the southern border, it is estimated that there will be more rights and wrongs" The old nobleman who was sitting in Liu Tianyu's hand and was the first to praise Liu Lei sighed and said.
"Let's think of a good way, the south is richer than the north, but that doesn't mean we're chickens laying golden eggs," someone else said.
The old nobleman thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let's contact all the nobles in the south to write to the city lord?" ”
Liu Tianyu hurriedly said: "No! Cannot! Originally, the city lord was already partial to us, didn't he slap the city lord in the face at this time? Those guys in the north will make trouble right away, and how many nobles are there in the entire southern border, Brother Zhang? There are not a hundred but eighty, there are only a few of us, how many of us can have the same heart as us, and the first bird with the gun may still pit us behind us"
The wrinkles on the old nobleman's face were all crowded together, and the nobles in the room all had a bitter and hateful expression, the old nobleman glanced at everyone, and unexpectedly saw Liu Lei, who was sitting upright in the corner, with half-squinted eyes, and said with a slight move in his heart: "Why don't we let the eldest young master of the Liu family, in this battle, our little hero in the south talk about it, this time this little guy is resourceful to compare us all."
Listening to the words of the old nobleman, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Liu Lei's body, the affairs of the nobles have nothing to do with Liu Lei, the sky is falling and there is a high support, Liu Lei is using most of his mind to quietly depict the original pattern of the right hand with the assistance of the system, since he was able to use the system to cheat and cultivate, Liu Lei did not dare to slack off for a quarter of an hour, as long as he had time, he continued to deepen the original pattern of his right hand, and was suddenly startled by naming Liu Lei, and when Liu Lei came back to his senses, he happened to see that everyone was looking at him.
Liu Tianyu was expressionless and didn't say anything at all, and the old nobleman on the side looked at Liu Lei with encouragement in his eyes, Liu Lei smiled bitterly, he knew that this was the old nobleman who wanted him to behave, but at this moment he really didn't want to be in the limelight.
Liu Lei hurriedly stood up and said with sincere fear: "The kid is incompetent, thanks to the elders, but there are really no good ideas, please forgive me."
Liu Tianyu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Lei'er, since your Uncle Zhang asked you to say it, you can just say it, even if you say it wrong, it's okay."
Many nobles nodded kindly, after all, in their opinion, Liu Tianyu picked up the relationship with the city lord, and he would naturally act later in the future, so that his son's performance was also good, of course, although Liu Lei was a little outstanding in this battle, but in their eyes, he was still a milky child, how much knowledge he could have, just listen to it, no one will take it seriously.
Liu Lei, who was put on the shelves by landlubbers, had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "That kid is ugly, please don't blame the inappropriateness, first of all, I want to ask, what is the official position of Deputy City Lord Wang coming to the south?" ”
The old nobleman surnamed Zhang opened his mouth and said: "The commander of the southern border is naturally responsible for the combat readiness of the southern border, and when the time comes, all the northern border will need to hand over half of the private soldiers to the deputy city lord Wang for training, nominally to improve the combat effectiveness of the southern army."
Liu Lei chuckled and asked, "Then the deputy city lord has other positions, I mean the official appointment of the city lord's mansion!" ”
Liu Tianyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "No! ”
Liu Lei nodded and said: "That's good, since the City Lord's Mansion has no other appointments, it means that the City Lord has already considered that the deputy city lord only has the right to command the army, how can he interfere with the payment of taxes?" ”
All the nobles' eyes lit up when they heard Liu Lei's words, and the old nobleman couldn't wait to ask: "But we still have to hand over half of the private army, who knows who will listen to after training?"
Liu Lei turned his head and asked, "Dare to ask Uncle Zhang, did the Zhang family send reinforcements to support the war some time ago?" ”
The old nobleman nodded: "Naturally!" ”
"What are the casualties?"
The old nobleman blushed and said: "There are 5,000 reinforcements, 1,000 people are lost, and ...... Two thousand"
Yes, Liu Lei didn't expect to ask such an embarrassing question, there are not many people who have died in battle, isn't this a slap in the face.
Liu Lei coughed lightly and hurriedly changed the topic: "That means that the Zhang family's private army has suffered heavy losses?" ”
The old nobleman nodded, although a lot of reinforcements came back from the rout, but the Zhang family was already broken.
"Then we're recruiting some new recruits! Farmers or something, there are people who train for free, why not? ”
The old nobleman thought for a while and laughed: "Okay, yes, my Zhang family has suffered heavy losses, so I want to envy some recruits." ”
Having said that, how could a group of nobles who were like people still not understand what Liu Lei meant, since Wang Pengdao came to the south to train his troops, it would be good to throw him some peasants, and suddenly everyone's complexion was much better.
Instead, Liu Tianyu touched his chin and asked, "What if the deputy city lord of the king comes to ask about the crime?" ”
"The man in charge of the conscription is dead! The newcomer is naturally not skilled in business, so he will be cleared immediately, hehe, he is changing a batch for Deputy City Lord Wang? ”
Hearing Liu Lei's shameless strategy, all the nobles laughed, although they were only talking about conscription, but Liu Lei gave them a new way to deal with things, and their impression of Liu Lei rose again and again.
Seeing the aristocrats smiling, Liu Lei couldn't help but complain in his heart, he couldn't even play Tai Chi, he also played politics, and it was a good profession to work as a temporary worker on the earth, and he could take it out and sell it at a critical moment............
