At that time, they also paid tribute to the country of Mu, just like Bailie. However, after several conquests, the Ya State annexed several small surrounding countries to expand its territory, and its waist was also stiffened, and it no longer called itself a vassal to the Mu State, and repeatedly sent troops to teach a hundred lessons. I heard that at the end of last year, Bailie and Yaguo had another conflict on the border, and the other party provoked trouble first, and the result was that Bailie lost a lot of money. ”

"It's blackmail." He Lingchuan stroked his chin and thought. With such a bad neighbor, Bailie's life is really bad. "There are two and there are three, Yaguo tastes the sweetness, and Bailie will have no peace."

"At present, the leader of the Bailie tribe is Lu Zhensheng. The Lu family's lineage has long been extinct, and Lu Zhensheng, who was born in the side line, was elected as the patriarch. ”

"Lu Zhensheng seems to have negotiated with Qingguo and wanted to get back the Blade Harbor, but failed."

"But the Bailie Territory itself seems to have developed quite well in the past ten years."

Deer vibrating? He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, this is the cousin of the original mother Lu Xiaoyun, and the person who forced her to give up her inheritance and flee to the kite country, and later got her wish and sat on the position of patriarch.

That is, the supreme leader of the Hundred Columns.

Six hundred years ago, after the Hundred Miles were defeated by Bega and took possession of the country, the Lu family led the Hundred Sets to move here to continue to live, but did not establish another country.

This is the territory of the Deer family.

In the context of the weakening of the aura, there are very few families that can last for six hundred years, and usually one or two hundred years will be lost. The same is true of the Lu family, Zhongxing has been brilliant a few times, and finally it was planted in the long river of time, and it is not easy to maintain it so far.

In today's world, the Lu family is already an ancient family.

It's a pity that it's not "old" that will be respected.

Ding Zuodong also spoke: "Lu Zhensheng has two sons, the eldest son Lu Qing'an is thirty-one years old and has been staying in the clan; The second son, Lu Qinglin, was twenty-seven years old and worshiped in Qianyuan Valley since he was a child, which is one of the largest and oldest Taoist sects in the Mu Kingdom, and its predecessor was the Ancient Immortal Sect; Later, Lu Qinglin was recommended by Qianyuan Valley to enter the Mu State Army, and was soon promoted to lieutenant, as if he had recently made meritorious contributions in the battle on the Western Front and was awarded the title of General Xu. There are many talents and fierce competition, and this promotion speed is extraordinary. ”

"Asahi?" He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "This title is good, it seems that the credit is not small, and Mu Guo also intends to promote him." ”

The names of some miscellaneous generals are like plays, and the generals of the building ships and the generals of the material officers are all related to the subordinates of the troops they lead.

The message of the word "Xu" is very good, and this Lu Qinglin seems to be also a talent. He Lingchuan had heard of Qianyuan Valley, this long-standing Daoist sect had very strict selection criteria, and the connection with the Damu royal court was also very close, and the rich and noble families couldn't get money in at all.

Qiu Hu also asked: "Western Front?" That's fighting with Bega? ”

"I heard yes. There is also no shortage of merchants from the west in Blade Harbor, and they all say that Bega frequently launched strong attacks, and the Mu State rose up to fight. ”

He Lingchuan swept Dong Rui and saw him squeezing his eyes at him, the meaning was obvious:

Here's who started it.

If He Lingchuan hadn't released the torch, which almost blasted the Star Picking Tower into the sky, and ignited the fuse of the turmoil in Lingxu City, Bega would not have been so angry.

The Son of Heaven was furious and bled and drifted. The dignity of a strong country cannot be offended.

But in troubled times, heroes are produced, and such war times are the easiest to produce heroes and wizards.

Lu Qinglin also took the opportunity to accumulate military merits.

But his greatest ability is not to win the battle, but to marry Xia Lishang, the daughter of General Yutian and the crown prince Xia Pei. Legend has it that when Lu Qinglinfu entered the capital, he was taken by Xia Lishang at a glance. Ding Zuodong said with a smile, "The most widely circulated outside is the little bit of wind and snow that Lu Qinglin and the daughter of the Xia family. ”

"Xia Pei is leading the army to fight on the western front, and he can be said to be a pivotal figure in the royal court."

"The Lu family has found a good in-law for themselves." As soon as He Lingchuan heard it, he knew that this was likely to be a difficult point for him to recover the Bailie Territory in the future.

He was investigating the elixir case in Bega, and he touched Cen Boqing along the vine, and then the clue was broken. Cen Boqing was not a top-level power at all in Lingxu City, where nobles gathered, but he married the daughter of Dasi Nong, and no one dared to touch him - including Fushanyue, the prince of Chiyan, who was present in person.

He Lingchuan tried his best to trick Cen Boqing into confessing.

The same goes for the deer family. Lu Zhensheng found Mu Guo to be the general of the dynasty as his in-laws, which added a lot of difficulty to He Lingchuan's plan.

The royal relatives are the most difficult to deal with and the most difficult to deal with. With Xia Pei's prestige in Mu Country, he is almost inseparable.

Sure enough, Ding Zuodong nodded and said, "That's right, since Lu Qinglin married the daughter of the Xia family, the prestige of the Lu family has risen all the way." In addition to Yaguo not accepting this set and still raising troops to threaten, the surrounding forces have been much more polite to its family. I heard that if Lu Qinglin can earn a few more military merits, he will be a rising star in the officialdom of Mu State. ”

He Lingchuan snorted.

Of course, this has the exaggerated exaggeration of the Lu family itself, but war is indeed the best way for military generals to jump, especially Lu Qinglin has also found a big backer for himself, and General Yutian should be happy to promote his son-in-law.

The internal move does not avoid relatives, whether it is Bejia or Mu Guo.

Tao Ran interjected: "Oh yes, there was an accident in the Niushan mine of the Bailie people a year ago, and more than 200 people were buried in the tunnel collapse, but there were fewer injuries, only more than 80. I don't know if the casualty figure has been exaggerated, but I heard that the aftermath of the mine disaster has not been completed. ”

Everyone sighed: "This is a serious accident." ”

"The miners lost a lot of money."

Tao Ran said again: "The owner of the mine is the Lu family. The bereavement benefits they took out were 80 taels for the dead, 50 taels for the seriously injured and disabled, and only 50 taels for the minor injuries. The family members were not convinced, and gathered several times to make trouble, and the village prison could not be lived. ”

"The deceased was only compensated 80,000 yuan?"

Only those who are seriously injured and disabled are troublesome, and they still have the rest of their lives to live. Most of the people who go to the mine to mine are strong laborers at home, and now they not only can't support their families, but they also have to burn money to treat their injuries and take medicine, which has become a burden.

No wonder the families are not satisfied.

Everyone said: "The Lu family is stingy, sitting on a land of abundance, and has its own mountains, forests and mines, and even these two or thirty thousand taels are reluctant to give out." ”

Ding Zuodong said with a smile: "You don't know, the money of these families is circulating in the industry, and if there is a sudden emergency to spend gold and silver, they usually have to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, which is not as rich as it seems." ”

He has been a housekeeper in a large family for more than ten years, and he knows the door and door best inside and out.

Tao Ran didn't believe it: "No matter how rich you are, no matter how much you need to turnover, you can pour it out in a year?" ”

"That's right, so the Lu family's account should be a bit of a problem." Ding Zuodong groaned, "The settlement of the Bailie people is the fiefdom of the Lu family, and they also want to manage it well, and it is necessary to have a good reputation." ”

No lord wants his fiefdom to be miserable and complaining.

What is the last resort of the Lu family? "Maybe it's the battle with Yaguo, which consumes too much? Defeated at the end of last year, didn't you lose a lot of money? ”

If you lose, you will pay compensation, an international practice.

Yaguo also relied on hundreds of columns, so he came to knock on it if he had no money, and regarded the originally rich hundred columns as a cash cow.

When He Lingchuan heard this, he immediately said: "There is plenty of time, not busy." I'll give you a big vacation, and then pay you half a month's salary, so that you can play in Blade Harbor and in the territory of the Bailie people for about ten days. ”

"The lord is magnificent!" When everyone heard this, the boss actually gave paid leave, and they all cheered. After two months on the boat, two months of wind and waves, although no one is squeamish, but the sky is a big holiday, delicious and fun, who can not be happy?

"Don't be too busy, you know what you're supposed to do, right?"

"I know, I know, that is, I will go to the Fengyue place to find out a little news!" Tao Ran was solemn, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger!" ”

The crowd clapped and laughed.

He Lingchuan happily paid his salary, waved his hand and said, "Get out!" ”

After the Rongshan people hooked their shoulders and left, He Lingchuan called Ding Zuodong over.

"It's not easy for you to follow me, how can you be carefree like these bachelors?" He Lingchuan took out fifty taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "Take your wife to buy a house, and go down to a few good restaurants to please her." ”

Ding Zuodong's trip to the east, the family was very different. His children and grandchildren refused to follow, so Ding Zuodong had to take his wife south to Baishawan.

The cabin board was thin, and He Lingchuan could even hear Ding Zuodong and his wife arguing, and his wife was crying so much that he scolded him for abandoning his family and children.

Most of the nostalgia for the homeland is the nostalgia for relatives and friends. He Lingchuan understood his state of mind.

"That mother-in-law ......" Ding Zuodong remembered that his mother-in-law still had a straight face when she got off the boat, probably being looked at by the owner.

Alas, shame on you. The owner is really careful.

He was about to excuse himself, but when the words came to his lips, he retracted, "Alas, I caused trouble to the owner." ”

"It's nothing more than human affection." He Lingchuan didn't care, and patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead." ”

Tao Ran waited on the side, waiting for Ding Zuodong to leave before stepping forward: "Young master, what task do you want to give me?" ”

He just saw He Lingchuan winking at him, so he deliberately stayed.

He Lingchuan nodded secretly. This kid really has eyesight.

Qiu Hu is fierce and tough, and Tao Ran is a smart chicken thief, and he has a good grasp of proportion.

"You go to the territory of the Bailie people and try to see if you can sneak into the Lufu." He Lingchuan instructed him, "It's not appropriate to just go out to find out the news." ”

When the news reaches the outside of the house, it is often exaggerated and distorted; The real contradictions of a family are usually hidden at the core.

In the past, outsiders looked at their He family father and son, and they were also happy. Only He Chunhua and He Lingchuan themselves know that this is called being in harmony with each other.

"Yes." Tao Ran was about to move, when he suddenly turned around again, "Can you ask your pharmacist to prepare a pair of medicines for me?" ”

Lingguang was eating melons on the side, and raised his head when he heard the words: "Where are you uncomfortable?" ”

He Lingchuan smiled: "He wants to prepare a harmful medicine, but it doesn't hurt his life, you just have to refine it." ”

Tao Ran admired: "The young master is amazing! "I saw through his tricks at a glance.

After the matter was explained, He Lingchuan himself left the inn and went to the beach to blow the wind.
