The relationship between the rich and the gentry is intertwined, for example, there is a history of thorns in the side branch of the head of the Yan family, of course, for such a side branch, even Yan Zhenshan, who is the head of the family, will bow his head to it, instead of posing as the patriarch.

In Whitewater County, there is naturally no shortage of such families. Although Lin Jiu has moved most of the industries in Baishui County to Yunzhou Mansion, a small number of them are still showing strong competitiveness in the local area.

The families with related interests naturally want to demonstrate against Lin Jiu, and their ideas are also very simple, Chu Linghui has fallen, why don't you Lin Jiu compromise with us?

With Lin Shuli's protection, the local snakes in Baishui County naturally did not dare to do anything in the open. Lin Shuli is just a county magistrate, and he is bigger than him.

It's just that this time, they still miscalculated, and even Wei Deyun, the household servant who had always been at odds with Lin Jiu and Chu Lingxuan, only gave one answer, that is, it was not appropriate to cause more trouble, and let him go.

With the matter of the Imperial Doctor investigating Chu Linghui in the past, Wei Deyun's performance made those family heads have to figure out whether Chu Linghui, the official, has been promoted or demoted.

After Wei Deyun made a statement, he lost the upper means, and those people could only come clearly. At that time, many of the industries in Lin Jiu's hands had become a climate, and ordinary means were naturally soldiers to block the water and cover the earth.

In fact, the obstacles Lin Jiu encountered in his self-development were real, but the place where Lin Jiu stood was too high and looked too far, and although there were scattered stones under his feet, they all stepped on it in the end.

As for the Yan family and the Wei family, they are just slightly larger stones, but they only took a little more effort.

Lin Jiu and his entourage left Baishui County and arrived in Jingzhou for half a month, it was already the end of autumn, the residual heat in the south had not yet receded, and the convoy traveled at night most of the time.

Fortunately, thanks to the convenience of the Heluo Water Control Project, the pipelines in Jingzhou extend in all directions, and even if you rush at night, there will not be much hindrance.

The convoy consisted of more than 70 people, from guards to domestic servants, and this number was also an extremely difficult bone for the bandits.

Of course, this is only limited to the north of Jingzhou, just like the south, Zhang Qiao, who is extremely experienced in the rivers and lakes, told Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu that in just two days, at least five waves of people have come to investigate.

The reason why he didn't do it was because he saw that the guards of the guard were all well-equipped.

Ou Feng is a very interesting person, Lin Jiu has shown him what modern technology is, and gave some suggestions for improving the equipment.

And Ou Feng repaid some inner armor and swords.

It is said that there is a ban in the Great Zhou, and anyone who secretly collects and sells armor should be punished for the crime of treason.

Obviously, those dozens of sets of inner armor were not created overnight, but after Chu Linghui got it, he was not surprised at all.

Asked the reason, Chu Linghui told Lin Jiu that when the first emperor was in the first dynasty, there was a Qing and Xu two states. Disorderly.

It was a battle initiated by the people of the two states, and most of the people in the Qingxu and Xu states who didn't have time to escape were slaughtered.

However, this move. The rebellion soon subsided, but in order to prevent such a thing from happening, the great clans proposed to the imperial court to raise private soldiers.

For a country, if it is allowed to have armed forces outside the imperial court, that is the real way to deal with trouble, so this proposal was not adopted in the end.

However, the first emperor was a benevolent monarch, and when some families who had a great say in the court changed their private soldiers into domestic slaves, he turned a blind eye.

When Chu Linghui mentioned this past, Hao Lin Jiu was naturally ridiculed, and in this regard, this benevolent monarch is at most a benevolent monarch of the nobles of the family, which is a great evil for the people.

In this regard, Chu Linghui also gave an explanation, the situation in the court was like this at that time, and the first emperor could only stabilize the situation by making a compromise.

If you want to say, since the first emperor took over the world, it has been a big mess, and he has reigned for nearly 30 years like a tinkering general, mending the country, and finally dying of hard work.

Rao made a compromise with the nobles of the family and killed the move. After the leader of the rebellion, the first emperor also forcibly found out the initiator.

More than a dozen wealthy families in Qingxu and Xu returned to the land of Qingxu, and they had not yet begun to enjoy the life of their aristocratic lords, and they were beaten by the first emperor, in fact, the people were thinking of the first emperor. extraordinary

The image of the first emperor in Chu Linghui's mouth always made Lin Jiu feel that he was slightly lacking in talent, and he wanted to make the world peaceful, just like most people in the world evaluate this emperor, benevolent but talentless, benevolent rather than virtuous.

The situation in the land of Jingnan, if the reason for it can also be traced back to the two states. When it's chaotic.

Because of the lessons of the past, they all began to raise domestic slaves, and the ambitions of local tyrants together, the situation of secession naturally formed.

In other words, Chu Linghui made a preliminary estimate of this set of equipment in the Vulcan Villa, how could it cost more than a hundred taels of silver, and Ou Feng could be regarded as hemorrhagic in order to prevent Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu from having a bad feeling.

The inner armor of the sword is secondary, and for those who step on the point, the most curious thing is that the back of each guard is wrapped in a black cloth, like a burning stick.

Some cautious bandit leaders are not ready to do so until their men figure out the "burning sticks".

But there are cautious people, there are some stunned people who are in a hurry, and among the bandits, there is a bandit leader named Sky Falcon, because he really can't resist the temptation of several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the convoy, and has decided to do it.

Of course, Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu didn't know all this yet.

After entering the southern part of Jingzhou, many people were not accustomed to the situation, thanks to Lin Jiu's heavy money in Yunzhou, which smashed a few doctors to accompany them.

Rao is like this, at the border from the county, there are already several guards who can't hold on.

In this regard, Zhang Qiao felt that his subordinates were embarrassed to fall ill at this time, and he was worried about their safety, and he didn't know how to make a choice for a while.

Rationally, it is to find a village to keep them there to recuperate, while the rest of the people continue to leave the county office.

In the end, he finally made a decision.

Because there were patients in the convoy, there were stop-and-go along the way, and after resting again, Zhang Qiao found Chu Linghui and Lin Jiu who were looking at the map together.

"Lord Chu, boss!"

Lin Jiu raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiao and asked with a smile, "So serious?" Found a large group of bandits? ”

Zhang Qiao said helplessly: "That's not true, it's just about those sick brothers, I want to leave the team temporarily and go to a surrounding village to settle them down temporarily." ”

Lin Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "This is a top priority, in fact, Lao Chu and I are also thinking about this matter." ”

After speaking, Lin Jiu unfolded the map and pointed to a point on the edge of the county: "There is a Zhangjiazhuang about half a day away from us, and it is still your own house, so we will rest there for two days for the time being." ”

"Is that okay?" Zhang Qiao looked at Chu Linghui with some embarrassment.

Now that the situation in Jingnan is unclear, if you leave your brother behind, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen, Lin Jiu's suggestion is the safest, but Lord Chu is going to take up his post, and it is not a good thing if it is delayed.

Chu Linghui also saw what Zhang Qiao was thinking, and said with a smile: "As Boss Lin said, let's go to Zhangjiazhuang first, we can't disobey her wishes, not to mention that I only know about the situation in Jingnan on official documents, and this is just the opportunity." ”

There is nothing simpler than asking about Jingnan's situation.

Zhangjiazhuang's Zhuang advocates modesty, rumors are anxious for justice and righteousness, and people who are in the rivers and lakes, as long as they have a name in the past, whether they have the ability or not, they can find a suitable position in Zhuangzi.

Over the years, the originally wealthy Zhang family quickly declined, and there was only one Zhuangzi left in the huge industry, but Zhang Qian never regretted it.

After the diners dispersed, many people waited to see Zhang Qian's jokes, until a diner who had stayed in Zhang Qian's village died of hunger strike because the host said that Zhang Qian was not, so everyone sighed Zhang Qian's spirit.

This story was told to Lin Jiu by Chu Lingjue, although the story was spread in the rivers and lakes, there were always people who disagreed with the diner who died on hunger strike.

thinks that since he has a loyal heart, he should not have left Zhangjiazhuang in the first place, and should advance and retreat with Zhang Qian.
