Chapter 13: Remorse

"Shen Yew has not been recognized because it is the child of me and a Miao woman. Miao Jiang is the base camp of our Shen family, just like your Shandong foundation. There are not only Miao people here, but also many ethnic groups, and the words of the ancestors are also worried, and the purpose is to warn us to maintain peace and integrity. Otherwise, how can a descendant of the Miao nationality face other ethnic groups and be just? Even if you are fair, there are people who say that you are unfair, it is difficult to reconcile the people, the people are the most difficult to deal with, no matter how you are, there are always dissatisfied people, and everyone in the world is happy only in dreams. In short, doing business is the same as governing the world, and people can't grasp this very obvious handle, and when the mouth is down, rumors will spread and people will be restless, just afraid that it will ruin a big thing. But I only have the daughter of the purple shirt, she is not in the position, how can others have her good fruit to eat, so I have to redouble my efforts and achieve something big to plug the mouths of others. Shen Qingshan said.

Lu Bing Ha said with a smile: "So you chose to trap me?" ”

"Virtuous nephew, neither nor either. Originally, when I heard about you, I thought you were a young man with potential, and I wanted to see you as the best escort for a martial arts master to cultivate. Unexpectedly, things changed abruptly, Zhu Houxi, the king of Anlu Prefecture, became the emperor, and you soared into the sky and became an important minister of the court. At that time, I thought, it's better to marry my daughter to you, let's go two ways, politics and business, I will help you become a generation of heroes, you help me keep the family business and revitalize the Shen family, and the most important thing is to be able to protect my daughter. But how can I not know the truth that you are like a tiger with the king, and then Yew was captured. And I think you're acting a little weird, when your burst fire blueprint arrives. I decided that this was the prototype of the revolver. I'm beginning to suspect that you're also from modern times, and I'm getting worse and sicker, and I'm looking for famous doctors. At the same time, I also found someone to dig up the ancient tomb, hoping that there would be a good party that could be used to cure me. As a result, I found this "Da Jin Yi", and I found that my daughter doesn't love you, she loves Duan Qingfeng. Although I have not met this young man, he is described in the book as a man of a real temperament, but I am also worried that he does not love yew. Shen Qingshan said.

Shen Qingshan took a sip of water and continued: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it is inconvenient for me to stop my daughter. As long as she's happy. As for why Shen Yew left and ignored you, it was also because of this book. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Bing asked.

What the book says. Shen Yew led the fleet to the east, and we are all modern people, all know the road, in South America on the other side of the ocean. There is a large amount of silver ore waiting for us to mine. And the Western powers have just invaded that land. I have long wanted to give it a go and seize this land, so that this move can make the Ming country rich and strong, and it can curb the development of Westerners, and even establish a new country to eliminate the European countries, and even make it impossible for American imperialism to be formed at all. Shen Qingshan said.

Lu Bing laughed: "You guys have wanted to do this for a long time, after all, what I did near Dengzhou Changdao was to dump silver with them, and now I think the meat is too small, so I want to plunder the minerals directly." Start directly from the source to ensure the maximization of benefits. ”

"Yes, I don't deny it." Shen Qingshan said: "To do this, you need a huge fleet. Because I remember learning in history textbooks that Spain had an invincible armada, and that the navies of other countries were also very powerful. When it comes to interests, it is a desperate business, cutting off people's money is like killing parents, the Shen family has the ability to form a fleet and recruit soldiers, but I think we haven't built a ship yet, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will come to the door. What's more, it is a capital crime for a private soldier to consider agreeing to plot against him, which is too conspicuous. Although the Shen family was originally a substitute, they already had a calm period and a relatively neutral identity after cooperating with the current saint, but a recruitment of troops would definitely make the suspicious Zhu Houxi feel in crisis, and he was afraid that he would have to fight with the imperial court before he could fight a foreign enemy. ”

Lu Bing raised his eyebrows: "You still need a harbor to anchor, and it is most appropriate to stop the ship on the east coast of Daming, which can reduce a lot of sea routes to ensure safety." Uncle Shen, you are not right about what you said just now, the Shen family has the financial resources in this area, not the ability. If you want to form an army, it is by no means as simple as recruiting people to finish things, you need legal procedures, otherwise people are only afraid that they will become pirates, but it is different to be a soldier and eat food, although the reputation is not good, but at least it is a serious businessman. And now, I have provided legal clothing, a large number of soldiers, advanced weapons and enough warships, although most of the weapons and warships are sponsored by your Shen family, but without the approval of the imperial court, even if you do not suspect you, you will not be able to get them. And then you think that the opportunity is not to be lost, so you do it? ”

"We used to hesitate, thinking that this was an unkind and unjust act, but I saw the victory of the battle in the book, and I also saw the westward journey of the purple shirts mentioned in the book. I thought that this book was a foreshadowing and an omen, and that it was best to follow it, so I asked me to bow down. Shen Qingshan stood up and bowed to the end with both hands in fists.

Lu Bing hurriedly hugged Shen Qingshan and said, "Uncle Shen doesn't have to be like this, the matter has come to this point, and it will be meaningless to say anything about whose responsibility it is." The Shen family and the Lu family have always cooperated happily, and I didn't expect you to betray me, which is also the reason why the imperial court did not take action against the Shen family after the incident. It is undeniable that the economy is also a category I consider, but the most important thing is the Shen family's affection for me, if it weren't for the silver taels that Shen Yew gave me at that time, I wouldn't have been so openly with my dwarves, which is also described in the book, right? With the existence of this book, I can also understand the difficulties of the Shen family, but things are man-made, and heaven cannot influence people, not to mention this book, people will win the sky. ”

Saying that, Lu Bing buckled the book, pointed to the broken part and said, "It's as if the book is lost now, won't we be able to do it?" Do you have to spin around like a fly on my head, waiting for guidance from the second half of the volume? No, life has to go on, and we are still ourselves. ”

Shen Qingshan nodded, his eyes were full of approval and respect, he didn't expect Lu Bing to be so generous, he even thought that Lu Bing would not forgive himself. He can endure the punishment of three swords and six holes to apologize. Suddenly, Shen Qingshan frowned and asked, "By the way, Virtuous Nephew, I have something I want to ask." Now that I've seen it and reminded you, why would you still let Ling Zun take that Ten Perfection Pill? And if you don't take more precautions against Dongfang Ao, it is not to put a long line to catch a big fish, then the price is too great. ”

"What!" Lu Bing's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Qingshan in disbelief.

"Uncle Shen, why did you say this? When did you alert me? Lu Bing asked one after another.

Shen Qingshan was also stunned. Hurriedly took the book and flipped a few pages, pointed to one of the paragraphs, and said, "You see that there is a book cloud in the text, saying that Ling Zun took the Ten Complete Pills, and you were forced to cooperate with the people of the Thirteen Secret Ones for the antidote of Ling Zun and the Holy Lord. So I sent someone to inform you a year ago. I also wrote a long handwritten book, why didn't you receive it? ”

"Not at all!" Lu Bing was taken aback, but he saw that Shen Qingshan didn't mean to joke, and he couldn't joke about this kind of thing. Besides, Shen Qingshan wants to show favor to himself. will definitely start with Lu Bing's relatives, because Lu Bing's morality is not even more important to his family. Putting this kind of vain credit is not done, which is completely inconsistent with Shen Qingshan's businessman's nature of heavy profit.

Shen Qingshanqi said: "No, I sent a trustworthy shopkeeper to him, and he came back and told me that he sent it to you, and you brought it to me, and presented a large number of gold, silver and jewelry as a thank you." ”

"Does Miss Shen know about this?" Lu Bing asked, Shen Qingshan shook his head: "She doesn't know what to do. I don't want her to know about the existence of this book, and I don't mention it in my letter to you. But it was mentioned what the Ten Perfection Pill Dongfang Ao had done. ”

Lu Bing fell into deep thought, but Shen Qingshan waved his hand downstairs, and a middle-aged man with a strong spirit walked up, Lu Bing raised his eyes and knew that Lu Dao was a master, and that person hugged Shen Qingshan with a fist without humility. Shen Qingshan said: "Go and find out what the shopkeeper Liu in the east of Dali City is doing, and ask him to come to see me quickly." ”

The middle-aged man nodded and went down, without making eye contact with Lu Bing. Shen Qingshan said: "This shopkeeper Liu is a Han man, who has been with me for more than 20 years, and he should be trustworthy." There must be something strange about this, and when he comes and asks, he will find out. ”

Lu Bing smiled and didn't speak, the shopkeeper served a table of dishes at this time, and Lu Bing and Shen Qingshan ate it. Lu Bing said that he would not drink, but at this time he was so confused that he had to pick up the wine glass and take a sip. Hey, this matter is done, if he receives Shen Qingshan's documents as soon as possible, he will not be caught by the enemy in his weakness, and the most important thing is that his father Lu Song will not be poisoned by the Ten Perfection Pill. Even if Shen Qingshan didn't say it, Lu Bing would also beg Shen Qingshan to find out, he came to Southern Xinjiang this time, he really came, he was wronged and there was a debtor, if it was because of that Liu shopkeeper who delayed the matter, Lu Bing would have to kill him alive. What Wang Yulu said is true, and it is indeed the right one.

"The guests are like clouds, and the name of Uncle Shen's inn has gained a sense of meaning." Lu Bing found a conversation and said, wanting to break this embarrassing situation as much as possible, and even more wanted to calm himself down a little by speaking.

Shen Qingshan waved his hand and said, "The virtuous nephew is really big-hearted, and if I still have time to talk about it, my brain is about to become a mess." It's because the life under me has changed, I don't care much about the following things over the years, sometimes the family business needs to be decentralized, as long as the general direction is in the hands of Yew. What the hell is going on? Shen Qingshan didn't have the heart to talk to Lu Bing about anything else at all, it was a big trouble, and he couldn't tolerate any sloppiness.

Lu Bing didn't mention anything else, the two waited for about a stick of incense, and the middle-aged man ran back, jumped upstairs in three or two steps, and walked forward without speaking. Shen Qingshan said: "Speaking, Lu Xian's nephew is not an outsider. ”

"Shopkeeper Liu was invited away by the second master a few days ago." The middle-aged man said, Shen Qingshan's face became gloomy: "A few days ago? What day is it? ”

"Three days ago, the day Lu Gongzi entered Yong'an." The middle-aged man replied. Shen Qingshan suddenly realized, then waved his hand to let the middle-aged man go down, and then said to Lu Bing: "I'm sorry, this is a family matter, let Shen go back and deal with it by himself, he will definitely give an explanation to the virtuous nephew, if the virtuous nephew can trust me." ”

"Uncle Shen, I can trust you." Lu Bing said, but after a while, he said: "But this matter also involves my family affairs, and it is related to Mi 13, so I have to ask more, and I hope my uncle will forgive me." (To be continued......)
