Chapter 232: The Return Journey and the Accident (Text)

As I analyzed with the feudal lord's father, even if I am not in the position of the feudal lord, I can provide more prospects and opportunities for those retainers and countrymen to continue to follow me.

But the only thing that the woman and his son could do was to dig into the corners of the feudal lord's treasury and accumulation, to hand over the relationship and buy people's hearts, or to exchange the rights and interests expected in the future.

And with the reconciliation and handover of power with the feudal lord, she has lost the last bit of reliance and name to take out her hand, and she is forced to hand over all the lists and channels of contact, which is equivalent to losing some kind of credibility and opportunity in disguise, and the only sustenance and expectation are in my hands like a hostage, and it is difficult to turn over any tricks.

Besides, although I let the other party go with a high profile, I still used these lists and channels to find some justice and compensation for those who died in vain.

The lower limit of a woman who has lost a qiē and goes crazy cannot be underestimated, but as a mother who is controlled by others everywhere and has to throw all kinds of rat traps, it is much easier to deal with. What's more, I also gave her a little bit of hope to draw bread to satisfy her hunger.

This is also the reason why I took this cheap brother away, of course, subconsciously, there is also a little plot that I don't want to dirty my hands or make the old man embarrassed.

However, when I really grasped the financial power of the Luo Domain, I realized that the actual family background was much more than I thought, and compared to the amount of coins, gold and silver reflected in the books, a large number of properties, land, estates, workshops, trading companies, and shops inside and outside the domain were generating a huge number of discrepancies at all times, which was obviously the result of the painstaking management of the feudal lords of the past dynasties.

It's no wonder that both inside and outside, there are people who are deliberately trying to plot against it, and just the fat powder money of my singer's little mother is specially paid by the revenue of more than a dozen shops designated by the state city.

And the life of the retainers and the people under the rule seems to have been good all these years, and there is a lot of surplus and savings in the warehouse, of course, these things are not in the form of money, but in the form of a large number of various local products and materials, semi-finished products and finished products.

Under the rule of the Southern Dynasties, the Tang people were only a broad term, with the difference between the Chinese and the naturalized, and the Chinese had the difference between the local natives outside the Lingwai and the Haisheng people of the descendants of the sea domain, and the concept of the so-called northerners in addition to the natives.

In addition, the large number of feudal slaves, as well as the shadow bag household registration in Nantou, constituted the main strata and components of the Southern Dynasty society. The more than 200,000 people of the Luo Domain, that includes naturalized people and tame native households, as for the feudal slaves owned by each family, they are not counted in the household registration, but are compiled together with cattle and horses.

Now that there is an opportunity to master these resources, it is natural to find a way to circulate them and turn them into a working cycle of money.

After I had the qualifications of the rightful lord of the domain, I just asked the steward Luo Yi to reveal his tone at the banquet of the local reception when he went out to visit his relatives, and the Borneo clan immediately had a large number of new members

Although on the surface, as the basic qualifications and conditions for new members, they are all given to the Borneo Association in the form of donations, tenants, and fixed-income investments, but these resources will still become something in the hands of my family after being filtered through various channels.

therefore

When it was time to return, I no longer took the sea route, but slowly passed by land through a dozen prefectures and counties of East and West Borneo and the domain of Ruoyujia in some kind of declarative parade, visiting and receiving them one by one.

There are also traditional interests and contradictions between the sea domains, and there are also grievances and hatreds left over from the previous generation, or the so-called feuds accumulated because of trivial matters such as water sources, land boundaries, clans, and household registration

West Borneo used to have four states and nine states, with 19 sub-domains and dozens of large and small native tribes, but only 11 are left today, and seven or eight of them have been changed and reduced in the middle of the way, or because of the crisis of breaking the dynasty, the family name has been changed.

The prefectures and counties directly under the state of the dynasty became seven states and twenty-three counties. Many of them are because the lineage of the old lords of the division of the feudal domain is really unmaintainable, or the disputes are too heavy, and the generals have dedicated themselves to the imperial court, turned the princes into the princes, and Guangfu became a rich man who eats Shilu.

In contrast, Luo Fan, which is close to the sea, because when the ancestors chose the fiefdom, they avoided those areas that were relatively rich and civilized, and there were also hidden dangers in disputes, and chose to be close to the corner of the wilderness, so the natural geographical environment was better after generations of business and development.

The west and south are mainly sea, there is only a port and some fishing villages, and the road is mainly adjacent to a large area of uncivilized wild land, as well as those who live in the mountains and mountains, so even in the territory of Fuyuan Prefecture, there are few rivals.

There was also a scandal of the abolition of the elder and the young, which led to the discord between father and son, which naturally attracted a lot of coveters, such as the group of distant relatives and clansmen of the Luo clan who were clamoring to stand up for me in the state city back then, and even from the background of other feudal domains and official governments, there was no shortage of hope that the marriage between Tongguò and my cheap brother would get a reason and excuse to intervene, but my strong return and return to harmony obviously directly or indirectly smashed these schemes and plans.

Everywhere I went, therefore, it was sometimes a simple visit to meet a good friend, or a negotiation meeting, an exchange of interests and a further pull-in, or a kind of fruit-eating declaration of force and power, and a blatant beating of potential ambitions.

For me, it is enough to enjoy and control the benefits of the domain, but there is no need to get bogged down in this power struggle and waste too much energy and time.

Until Saran Harbour, the second largest city in the northernmost part of East Borneo, go on board. However, when we arrived here, my boat had not yet arrived, and a few days later, bad news came.

The ship on my return journey by sea was intercepted and attacked by unknown armed pirates, but it was only because of the size of the ship that it rushed out of the siege downwind, and the other two merchant ships accompanying it were obviously not so lucky.

Looking at the scarred gang and the withered blood on the deck, it was hard for me to imagine what would have befallen me if I were still on this ship.

A name faintly came to my mind, Nanhai Thirteen Lang, after hibernation for a long time, he finally made another move, or rather, he was invited by some people.

However, he no longer had a chance, and after meeting a large number of merchant ships, and returning to Guangfu all the way, he told the mysterious creatures about my trip to Borneo one by one, and obtained some kind of evaluation and analysis from her.

"This is also some kind of inevitability......"

She summed it up earnestly

"The positions of the retainers and the countrymen have become clearly divided, and they are more and more inclined to you ......"

"Once the father and son fight against each other, you still have the future of Guangfu to retreat, you don't care about those inheritances, but those countrymen and retainers who have lived for generations ......"

"But I can't ignore other consequences, so taking the opportunity of being seriously ill, it is also the right thing to do for you to build momentum and force the feudal lord to express his position......"

"Your disposition like this, although it is not the best result, is not bad......

"But are you sure you can control that brother of yours......"

"Do you think that a young man who has been in a remote rural place for a long time and has a small pattern suddenly sees a prosperous place like Guangfu ......?"

I asked rhetorically.

"What will be the reaction......

"You're really an unkind brother......

She stuck out her tongue and pretended to be cute.

"I didn't let people fall into the sea halfway through, or contracted an emergency during the trip, which is already very kind......

I shook my head and argued

"At least I gave him a chance to grow his horizons and enjoy himself in the world of flowers......

"Then again, when people come to the door to ask for help......

Then the enigmatic creature suddenly showed me a certain cunning and narrow expression, threw me out such a sentence, choked me and choked on my saliva and coughed.

"Haven't you ever thought about doing something to the little mother who still has charm......"

"I heard that there is a forbidden pleasure......"

"Mother madman Zephyr tight? No, no, no. I'm not that bad......"

After taking a sip of mint water, it was easy to breathe my righteous words

"For the indirect elder who loves to make her eyes and small means, I just slapped her......"

"Let her understand that any conspiracy and trickery are just scum before the absolute power of the general trend......"

"It's as simple as that......"

She tilted her head and looked at me with a smile on her face.

"Mm-hmm, it's that simple......"

Of course, what I didn't say was that the poor mature woman who was abused was so tempting, so in the end, I couldn't help but punish her with other things, anyway, as long as she didn't go in, it didn't count as my old man.
