A few days have passed, and Liu Feiyun has not teased Han Dongcheng anymore these days, because he is already sick in bed at the moment, and he has gone to see it, and his face is pale, and Liu Feiyun is really afraid that he will accidentally kill him.

Besides, Han Dongcheng has been on vacation for the past few days, and everything needs to be done by himself, which can really be described as self-inflicted. Fortunately, it is not spring ploughing at this time, otherwise I would not be busy.

When she got home from work, Lin Yuxue immediately took the official uniform he had changed into, put on civilian clothes for him, and then handed over a letter: "Brother Yun, Brother Liu, they are writing again." ”

Liu Feiyun pecked at Lin Yuxue's mouth, and said with a smile: "Hard work lady, you can sit too, don't be tired." ”

"Necrotic." Lin Yuxue snorted, but instead of sitting, she stood behind him and pinched his shoulders.

Liu Feiyun had long been accustomed to this, and patted her hand gently, and then opened the letter and read it.

"Brother Yun, what did Brother Liu say in the letter?"

"Mainly talk about the current war situation in various countries, let us be more careful just in case."

Liu Feiyun did not hide it, Liu Shuhan sent a lot of letters one after another, all of which conveyed things about the war.

"How's it going?" War is cruel, Lin Yuxue has not experienced it, but she has seen a lot of displaced people because of the war, and she has also heard a lot of bloodshed of war, and she is worried that this war will spread to them.

Liu Feiyun clapped her hand again: "Don't worry, the army of the Western Regions is very strong, and the countries of the Western Regions are still wandering at the border gates, and they have repelled and annihilated many Western Regions coalition forces." ”

"And the situation in the north is good, although the momentum is huge, but the Central Plains countries are not vegetarian. Besides, even if there is a problem in the north, the cross-domain is so big, and the barbarian hand of the northern grassland will not be able to reach out to the Xihao country, so don't worry. ”

After listening to Liu Feiyun's analysis, Lin Yuxue's heart was a little relieved: "That's good, alas, it's a good day, but why do you always start wars and kill so many lives." ”

For this stupid question, Liu Feiyun smiled and didn't answer, thinking in his heart: "It's because life is bad that there will be war, but they are for a better life." ”

"By the way, Brother Yun, I heard from the people in the mansion that the county order is sick?"

"Yes, but there's a reason for getting sick."

"Huh?"

Liu Feiyun's words made Lin Yuxue puzzled, and he didn't hide it, including going out that night, and said it again, with a relaxed face: "Xiaoxue, do you say it's interesting?" ”

"Brother Yun, how can this county order be such a person, he didn't embarrass you." Lin Yuxue didn't care about whether it was fun or not, but was afraid that her husband would be hurt.

"Don't worry, you didn't see that he was sick, I'm not a bully." Liu Feiyun clenched his fist to show his strength, maybe only in front of his wife, he would have this desire to perform.

"yes." Lin Yuxue realized that Han Dongcheng was sick, so her husband must be fine, but she still reminded: "Brother Yun, you can't take it lightly, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention people, he is from the Han family, but he is not alone." ”

"I know what to do, it's almost, eat first, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold for a while."

"yes, okay."

The two staged a warm scene, and Han Dongcheng, who was working the other side, was lying on the bed with a pale face at the moment, drinking millet porridge.

"Who the hell is behind it!" After sending the next person, Han Dongcheng, who was lying on the bed, thought about it, coughing a few times from time to time. It's much better now than it was a few days ago.

"Is it from a hostile family?" Han Dongcheng thinks that it is unlikely, and those people should disdain to do such a lowly and inferior method. Then who did he come here and didn't offend anyone, who could it be?

"Liu Feiyun?" Han Dongcheng thought of the goal of his trip again, "Has he already found out, is this a disgrace to himself, or is he preparing to make himself unable to retreat?" ”

I can't figure out where I got a flaw. It seems that Liu Feiyun is not simple, his origin cannot be queried at home, and his two elder brothers, where are they at the moment?

"It seems that I have to find a time to test it, otherwise I will always be in the bottom line."

Liu Feiyun would never have thought that Han Dongcheng was so difficult to fool, and as soon as he had a conjecture in his heart, he would verify it.

The illness went away like a thread, and this time he fell ill until he recovered, and Han Dongcheng returned to normal after seven days. And the first time he came to the mansion, he found Liu Feiyun.

"Is Brother Dongcheng feeling better?" Liu Feiyun saw him come in and said with concern.

"It's better, thank you Brother Feiyun for your care." Han Dongcheng smiled and said: "That's the case, the main reason for coming this time is to ask Brother Feiyun for advice, after all, spring ploughing is coming soon, Brother Wei doesn't know much about it, Feiyun was doing it before, I hope to give advice." ”

"Naturally, there's no problem with that." Liu Feiyun didn't expect that Han Dongcheng was here to test himself, and these things must be hidden, so he explained them to him one by one.

In the end, Han Dongcheng thanked: "Thank you Brother Feiyun, if you ask for something in the future, I will definitely help." ”

"You're welcome." Liu Feiyun didn't care.

"Then I'll go back first, Feiyun doesn't have to send it." Han Dongcheng turned around and wanted to leave, but just took a step and turned back.

Liu Feiyun also said strangely: "Is there anything else to do with Brother Dongcheng?" ”

"That's right, it wasn't me who suffered from the wind chill a while ago, it was attacked by a group of masked men. This group of people does everything they can, and it is very hateful, and Brother Feiyun needs to be more careful. ”

"In this way, I will pay more attention, I didn't expect that since there are still such people in our Bailu County, we must investigate thoroughly." Liu Feiyun pretended to be serious, as if he didn't know at all.

"That's good, then I'll take my leave." Han Dongcheng smiled, and then left directly without stopping.

Seeing Han Dongcheng leave, Liu Feiyun's expression became inexplicable, and he thought, "Could it be that he has already found out and is here to test himself?" ”

Liu Feiyun thought about it at this time, his original plan seemed to be full of loopholes, in Bailu County, or even Liuzhou County, there would be people who knew Han Dongcheng's identity, but it seemed that he was the only one who wanted to trouble him, after all, he was here to trouble himself.

"It seems so." Liu Feiyun is almost certain that he needs to be more restrained next, but he also needs to increase the intensity of monitoring, this person is really not easy to fool.

After Han Dongcheng came out of Liu Feiyun's office, Ben's smiling face instantly changed color, and he said gloomily: "It's you, although you cover it up well, but the fluctuation of your gaze can't deceive people." ”

He hurried back to his room, and his five fingers hit the table regularly: "The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, how does he know that he is going to deal with him for the time being, this place is his territory, and it is not easy to deal with his whereabouts after they are exposed!" ”

"But since he didn't find out the contradictions between the two sides, he didn't think he would have a showdown with himself now, but first maintain the status quo, and then ask his family for help."

More than half a month has passed, and Liu Feiyun received a letter again on this day, which explained that the war escalated again, especially the grassland tribes, and increased the number of troops by 500,000 again, which was to break through the rhythm of the border city.

"It should be soon." Liu Feiyun knew that this war would not drag on for too long, and countries were not willing to let it drag on. At this time, there was no so-called war wealth, and the Central Plains pursued the so-called Confucianism and Taoism, and after defeating these barbarians in the past, they would at most seize the spoils of war, and would not let them cede the land and pay compensation.

Then the longer it drags on, the more you lose.

Liu Feiyun was speechless in this regard: "In the previous life, those colonists and victorious countries, which one did not make a lot of money, which is like now, just stick to the city and defend the land, and do not know once and for all." ”

They will not give up the opportunity to plunder because of the benevolence of the Central Plains countries, as long as you have a weak day, it will be the time for the army to go south.

In fact, the country of Xihao is not having a good time now, although the military strength is extremely strong at this time. However, the previous war against the Purple Cloud Kingdom only harvested land and population, and the money was still in the hands of those families. As for the treasury of the Purple Cloud Country, it was moved clean long before the country fell apart.

Old saying: Warlike will die, whether active or passive. As long as the army rises, what is consumed is the national strength. In today's environment, there is nothing wrong with that.

The country ran out of money, or the treasury began to empty. Soldiers' armor, grain and grass, and food and salary, hundreds of thousands of people, a month consumption is hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, plus other expenses, no matter how much money can be consumed.

However, the countries of the Western Regions, located in high and low, are easy to defend and difficult to attack, according to the progress of the emperor of the Western Regions, if it is feasible, it will be incorporated into the territory once and for all. However, due to geographical restrictions, they can only be beaten passively.

Zhu Hongtian has even sent Chen Bingshu to prepare for a decisive battle, completely cripple the Western Regions coalition army, and let the soldiers go home to farm and recuperate.

However, the need for military salaries to increase the number of troops is a huge expense. The state can take it out, but the emptiness of the treasury is not good after all, at least the surplus must be left in case of accidents.

So the prime minister thought of a way, and in the court, Qin Bin said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to donate thousands of yuan to serve the empire." ”

"The minister's family is poor, but the country needs it, and the minister is willing to donate all the family property." An emperor chose to donate again after the prime minister, and the donation was called ruthless and detested.

These words made Zhu Hongtian on the dragon chair face happy, and shouted: "Good, good, good, Aiqing is worried about the country, and I will remember it in my heart." ”

Immediately afterwards, there were many people who were loyal, some were trusted, and some were sincere. However, the emperor's eyes were staring at those family officials at this time, smiling.

The purpose of today's court meeting is to make this group of people speak, if they want to say that they are rich, they are the ones in the country except for the royal family.

"The minister's family background is limited, but for the country, he is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver." One of the family officials said.

As the emperor's eyes swept over one by one, they looked at each other and had to donate money distressedly, and they couldn't be too stingy, after all, everyone understood that matter, but they just tacitly understood it.

In the end, it was the turn of the Eight Great Families, and this was the richest master.

"The minister is willing to contribute 100,000 taels to help His Majesty break the Western Barbarians." Liu Hongyun, the head of the Liu family, one of the eight great families, said.

"Well, that's good." Zhu Hongtian was sure, not a lot, but barely met the expectations in his heart.

Seeing this, several other families also spoke: "The minister is willing to share the worries of the country and donate 100,000 taels." ”

Han Lei, the head of the Han family, was the last to speak, and then his mind moved, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is natural for the ministers to worry about the country. Recently, the minister heard that Liu Feiyun, a man from Bailu County, opened a shopping mall in Bailu County, making money every day and contributing huge taxes to the country. However, the country is worried and needs to serve, and since he is an imperial noble, he naturally can't stay out of it. ”

Han Lei just received a letter from his son, and this moment is just an opportunity, at least to make that kid bankrupt.

"Oh!" Han Lei's words made Zhu Hongtian think of this baron he had made himself, but he didn't care too much, and said casually: "Then draft the decree and let the imperial lords contribute some money, and the amount will be discretionary." ”

Having said that, Zhu Hongtian is confident that everyone dares to fool themselves.
