Chapter 225: A Bad Deal
Yue looked left and right to make sure that there were no other creatures in the room, and then sighed:
"That's all. Everyone knows that the king's ears are soft, and when our father is angry, he believes in his father, and when others weep, he sympathizes with others. Have you forgotten how the new coup law failed?"
He Lingchuan shrugged.
He didn't forget, because he wasn't impressed at all!
It's no wonder that he is too careless about national politics.
"Many people were disappointed in that failure, and I think Da Sima was included." He Yue sighed again.
He Lingchuan pointed to his lips and gently "shhh
This younger brother is smart, but he is too ideal. He changed the subject: "Hey, you said that Old Man Li will not die sooner or later, but he is gone before we arrive in Dunyu, is there something strange here, it's like- God help me?"
"After all, he is also seventy years old, which is considered the last year of the candle." Even if this candle originally looked quite stout, "Even if he was killed by the evil law, he would not be able to catch anyone without evidence."
"This old man lacks virtue and does a lot of things, and I am afraid that there are many people who curse him. One day the amulet fails, and he's gone." He Yue didn't care much about how Li Zhao died, but he was very concerned about the impact after his death, "Li Zhao died, the Li family was divided, and the four major families were divided, which was only good for us."
He Lingchuan suddenly asked him, "Will they doubt us?" After all, the situation is in our best interest right now."
"What do you doubt us?" He Yue was stunned for a moment, before he understood the meaning of the words, and laughed, "How is it possible! We have no grudges or enmity with the four families, and our father is an official of the royal court, and we haven't even seen Li Zhao's face, how can we secretly harm him?"
The more he spoke, the louder he became, and he had a lot of arguments, and He Lingchuan shushed several times but couldn't interrupt him.
"What's going on?"
The courtyard door suddenly creaked open, and He Chunhua walked in: "Yue'er, what's so excited?"
He Yue stood up and greeted, "Father, my brother and I are discussing how the Li family will speculate about Li Zhao's death."
"Those who are pure are self-purifying." He Chunhua's gaze swept over the two brothers and became very kind, "Don't pay attention to the gossip outside."
"How's your injury?" He also saw the bandaging on He Lingchuan's arm, "Your medicine ape said that you bled the seed knife, and at least two catties were released."
He also noticed the stove in the corner of the house, and walked over to observe the knife mountain: "It's good to stick the knife in like this?"
"Master Li said that in a few days it will grow on its own, like a living creature."
"Okay, I'll send more people to you, don't let Xiaoxiao disturb the process of planting knives." He Chunhua said with a smile, "I have already discussed with the Hou of Songyang, since Master Li is here, why don't you stay in Xiazhou for a while. He gave Songyang Mansion a new branch in Dunyu, and I gave them a good start, and the first batch of orders was placed in this semicolon."
"Order?" He Yue immediately grasped the point, "Do we have to pay?"
"Of course...... Take the public account." He Chunhua coughed lightly, "Since we have just arrived in Xiazhou, Songyang Mansion has agreed to give us an account, and we can settle it in batches within a year, without interest."
The He brothers glanced at each other, sending charcoal in the snow, this person is not small. Songyang Hou really has an investment vision.
"Songyang Mansion is a Taoist gate, and there are not enough people in Dunyu, so they usually don't make ordinary soldiers. I ordered a batch of weapons from Songyang Mansion for the use of generals in the army, and Zeng Feixiong has wanted an iron spear for a long time."
The weapons used by generals are different from those of soldiers, at least at the level of magic weapons, such as Zhong Shengguang, Dong Haoming, Nian Zanli and even Sun Fuping, all of which are treasures that are enough to leave a name in history. Even the Tenglong gun that Wu Shaoyi gave to He Lingchuan was once the pistol of Liao Mozhao, a famous general of Xuanguo, and the strength of the crocodile god could not break it.
Ordinary soldiers can't do that.
Zeng Feixiong was only promoted last year, and his pocket saber broke when he was fighting Lu Yao, and he always wanted to find a weapon to take advantage of again, and this time it was best to use a magic weapon of good quality.
He Yue's eyes lit up: "Father, cast one for me too!" As the son of a state shepherd, this little privilege is still there.
In the Northlands, the position of governor is equivalent to the governor of a state, the governor of a state.
He Chunhua smiled, and he was not allowed: "Yue'er is a gentleman, and the sword is a gentleman in the weapon, so I will ask the master craftsman to cast a sword for you." He Lingchuan looked at him again, "Lingchuan, what about you? Seems to have all the knives, guns and bows, right?"
The ghost eye bow of Hong Xiangqian, the head of the anti-thief state, is also with his son.
He Lingchuan opened his mouth, and the words changed when they came to his mouth: "Oh, I haven't thought about it yet, wait for me to discuss it with Master Li."
He Chunhua nodded.
He Lingchuan looked at him with a loving face, and he felt subtle in his heart. Speaking of Old Man Li's death, did he think too badly of his father? After all, there is no evidence, and any speculation is just chasing after the wind.
He Yue worried: "Father is resolute today, although he has shown his means, the four major families may not be easily succumbed."
He Lingchuan sighed: "Then they draw out the way, and we will accompany them."
He Chunhua nodded, "Don't forget the plan we made in Ru County...... If the focus is only on Dunyu, fighting with these wealthy gentry may not be too petty. We came to Xiazhou to settle the account with the New Year's Praise Ceremony. At that time, he sent Nian Songyu to trick our father and son into the Panlong Desert to work hard for his family against thieves, causing us to almost commit treason, and this matter will finally be justified on the battlefield."
The northern front line is the most important thing in the general management of Xiazhou.
"Yue'er, you come to the state capital tomorrow. I want you to help you take a count of the books and count the population, so that I can recruit troops and buy food later." This is the second son's specialty, of course He Chunhua will not waste it, "Chuan'er, that Sun Hongye under you also has some talents, so borrow them from me for the time being."
Although he recruited nineteen people in Shihuan and investigated many ways along the way, he still felt stretched when he arrived in Xiazhou.
Alas, in a small place like Qiansong County, there are too few people in charge of government, and he can't bring a few.
"Take it, take it." He Lingchuan was very happy, "By the way, let him settle the account, I don't have to go, right?"
He Chunhua smiled and said, "You understand?"
He Lingchuan coughed.
He Yue said: "There are so many absurd things in Dunyu, and the local government can be called rotten."
"Otherwise, why would I ask you for help?" He Chunhua said, "Just after today's court trial, I went to check the treasury documents of the past years, and they still wanted to bluff me with bad debts."
A sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Next, it's time to straighten out these things." Then he said to his eldest son, "By the way, from this month, your regular money will be reduced to one hundred and fifty taels, all right, don't be impatient, shut up and listen to me!"
He Lingchuan was about to open his mouth to protest, but he was glared at and choked.
"We just arrived in Xiazhou, the expenses are bigger than before, and the income is smaller than before, so it takes a lot of work to bring this money from Blackwater City. I took the time to take a rough inventory of the state capital's treasury in the afternoon, and it was all in tatters, and there was not much money left." He Chunhua patted him on the shoulder and said seriously, "So, in addition to open source, we must find ways to reduce expenditure. The expenses of the monkey and the rock wolf are all hung on the lady's account, and you have to pay for one hundred and fifty taels. When you get over the current difficulties, it will slowly rise for you later."
The father really doted on his brother, and he had to apologize for giving one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and He Yue was not without envy on the side. His monthly allowance was only fifty taels, although he never spent it all.
He Chunhua was entangled in all kinds of affairs, and after speaking, he got up and hurriedly left.
On the first night of Dunyu, he must fight at night.
He Yue saw that his brother's face was still very pale, and he also said goodbye and left with interest.
He Lingchuan poured himself a large cup of tea, and thought slowly while sipping, fortunately he still had 100,000 taels of silver tickets hidden in his pocket.
This is the money he secretly hid from selling Sun Fuping's purple gold pestle to Songyang Mansion.
However, his cultivation of the meridian technique was about to enter the next stage, and the Yin Yang Powder he took would also have to be upgraded, and he had to add more expensive drugs to have better effect.
One hundred and fifty taels a month is not enough to buy even half a pair of medicinal herbs.
Dad is right, throttling has to be open source. Now that he has arrived in Xiazhou, he has to find a way to make money, so as not to sit on the mountain.
¥¥¥¥¥
Today's Panlong City was a cloudless and good day, and He Lingchuan had just returned from patrolling the wasteland.
Recently, Liu Tong's team has been rotated to guard the wasteland, which is not as much water as the Chipa Plateau, which is a typical tundra climate, and you can watch for dozens of miles from the top of the hill.
The number of newborn monsters in the wasteland is not as large as that of the Chipa Plateau, and there are even fewer who do evil, which is an idle time for most squads. However, Liu Tong was very experienced, and when he saw that it had just snowed a few days ago, he took his teammates to the Smoky Mountain, thirty miles west of Panlong City.
As the name suggests, the mountain smokes and is sometimes pungent. He Lingchuan walked to the ground and found that this was a volcano, and it was very active, because large clouds of steam often came out of the cracks in the mountain for no reason, and people could burn their arms if they were not careful.
It hadn't erupted for a long time, and the mountain was snowy because of the geothermal heat, but the bottom of the mountain was a little green.
The pine and spruce trees have uneven feet, and when the snow melts, it forms ice pits or puddles, which nourish moss and lichens.
Liu Tong led everyone to drill the cave.
The cave is located at the foot of the mountain, it is very long, the air is full of the smell of moisture, and the foot feels soft when walking in the cave, because the moss is almost woven into a blanket.
It's still warm, and the cold outside can't invade.
However, He Lingchuan didn't expect that there were people guarding outside the cave, Liu Tong revealed his identity, and the other party let him go, and explained, "Each person is only allowed to take five."
"There are only six of us left on my team."
The guards were silent for a moment, then said, "One more for each of you."
What treasures are in the cave to be counted? Liu Tong soon revealed the mystery:
It's actually a snail.
It didn't take much trouble for him to find a snail and show it to everyone: "This candy snail has a bright shell, and there are hardly two colors in the world, and it is one of the specialties of this wasteland. Strictly speaking, it's a specialty of Panlong City, and it doesn't appear anywhere else."
