"It's a good time to extract palm oil, don't the pirates do the same? Who has the hand to come out and rob? Lu Qing'an grilled rice, "At this time in previous years, they wouldn't have come out to make trouble." ”

The eldest son is reasonable, but Lu Zhensheng always feels that it is not a taste in his heart.

"He bought the Yangshan Islands from us, if he really has the ability to drive away evil, then it is really ......" Lu Zhensheng glanced at his eldest son, "Let us become the laughing stock of the whole world!" ”

At the beginning, it was the eldest son who strongly encouraged him, believing that this deal was particularly cost-effective, so they sold the Yangshan Islands.

"How could this have been known earlier?" Lu Qingan didn't want to take the blame, "Yangshan Islands have been in the Lu family, in your hands for many years, and they haven't changed so many tricks." ”

The words were too straight, and Lu Zhensheng snorted, a little uncomfortable.

"If it weren't for the grain for Mu Guo, if it wasn't for Mu Guo urging grain too hard, why would we sell our ancestral property?" Lu Qing'an said again, "Baili is rich in products, and we originally used it more than enough, but if we use it to help Mu Guo fight, the war is a bottomless pit!" ”

"Am I sticking money to Mu Guo?" Lu Zhensheng snapped and put down his chopsticks, "This is called being prepared for danger in times of peace!" You know very well how bad the environment around Bailie is, so I don't need to say more. If you want to keep the territory left to us by our ancestors, and if you want to prosper in the family, you have to look at your second brother and Mu Guo's face! ”

Lu Qing'an's face changed, and he was silent.

Every time this topic is argued, it ends up like this.

Father and son were silent.

In fact, the angle of the two of them makes sense, and Lu Qingan also understands that since Bailie recognizes Mu Guo as a protective umbrella, this kind of protection fee has to be paid.

After a long while, Lu Zhensheng picked up his chopsticks again: "Qing'an, you have your difficulties, I know." But now is the time for the hearts to think together and the strength to work together. Also, I just received a good news from Qinglin. ”

Lu Qingan raised his head: "He won the battle again?" ”

"Well, more than 2,000 enemies were annihilated at the Six Passes, and they took the opportunity to cut off the retreat of the enemy's main army, and surrounded General Du in front and rear. Bega suffered great losses in this battle, and it didn't take long for him to send envoys to negotiate peace! ”

Lu Qing'an showed his face: "This is great! ”

The Lu family's full support for the second brother in terms of financial and material resources is actually an investment.

Since it is an investment, of course, I hope that the higher the return, the better.

The second child is really as competitive as ever.

The more outstanding his military exploits and the higher his status in the Mu country, the harder the waist of Bailie and the better the surrounding environment.

"Mu Wangting rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and named him the general of the Left Guard, and Ding'anbo." Lu Zhensheng clapped his hands, "This is two consecutive jumps!" ”

Lu Qing'an said happily: "The second brother has finally come out!" Congratulations to Father. ”

"This is the blessing of the whole family, and it is also the blessing of the ancestors." Lu Zhensheng smiled, "Qinglin said that the war in the west may be coming to an end, and he will go home. ”

"Give him a good pick up then!" Lu Qingan looked happy.

The luck of the Lu family's generation seems to have fallen on Lu Qinglin.

"Ah yes, Qinglin also specially explained in the letter that there will be two imperial slurries within half a month at the earliest, and forty days at the latest, so that we can prepare early."

Lu Qingan was taken aback: "Two games in a row? How did he know? ”

The first two times the emperor slurry came, the Lu family didn't mention the slightest rumor in advance.

"The higher the authority, the better the information. What's more, Qinglin made two great contributions in a row, and Mu Guo was naturally rewarded. Lu Zhensheng laughed and groaned, "You go and prepare first." Just let the officials know three days in advance. ”

In a regulation like Mu Guo, if you increase your status, you will naturally unlock the corresponding benefits and privileges, and learn the secrets that the common people have no access to.

The advent of Emperor Flowing Pulp is too important to living beings, even if you know it half a day in advance, it is a great blessing to be able to prepare one step earlier!

"Yes."

As soon as Lu Qing'an responded, Lu Zhensheng said again: "As for the Yangshan Islands, aren't they recruiting craftsmen and civilians on a large scale?" ”

"Yes, we've sucked a lot of us." Lu Qing'an said, "I heard that they even recruited the Bailong people from Yaguo. ”

Lu Zhensheng sighed: "Bailong people? Which one? Wan Qizhao or Wan Qitong? ”

"This ...... I'll ask someone to inquire. "Such detailed information has to be specially arranged.

"The Bailong tribe was close to the Mu country, so the patriarch was killed, and the remnants who did not want to submit were driven out. Mu Guo wanted to move them to China, but the Bailong people were unwilling to leave their hometown. This clan is quite warlike, you can send someone to contact us, can you use it? ”

Lu Qingan frowned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I think it's better to leave the Yangshan Islands alone for the time being." Yaguo in the east is about to move again, and there are several intrusions on the border, and this morning Qingbang has set off with his troops. I heard that the king of Yaguo is going to marry his daughter again, and he needs a large dowry. ”

Lu Qingbang, the son of Lu Laoliu, is the fourth in the clan and can also fight. Lu Qing'an is not in Bailie, so he has to go out to fight.

As soon as Yaguo was short of money, he robbed everywhere, and last year Bailie was punched a few times, and finally used the money to eliminate the disaster.

This year, alas.

Compared with the war disaster in the east, Yangshan Islands is a P? This dad is always prioritizing.

Lu Zhensheng is still lingering: "But the Yangshan Islands ......"

Lu Qingan had no choice but to guide him: "Don't say that the surname He can't make a trick, even if he has the ability to pull up the Yangshan Islands, it will not hurt us." If he has the opportunity to get it back in the future, it is equivalent to him plucking the fields, building the wharves, recruiting laborers, and doing a good job of development for us. When the time comes, we'll take all the ready-made, what's the difference? ”

Lu Zhensheng thought about it, it seems to be the same reason.

As for whether the Yangshan Islands can be taken back? Oh, under the hands of the surname He, how many people can fight? Now they are recruiting all agricultural workers who cultivate land and pick palms.

How quickly can a pure foreigner develop force on a desolate island? This is a question that the father and son don't need to think about at all.

Lu Zhensheng exhaled: "Then you also have to keep an eye on the surname He to see what he wants to do later." I always felt that he wouldn't stop easily. ”

"It's already underway." Lu Qing'an was irritable, but he couldn't be too perfunctory, "He is still buying things on a large scale, and the demand is very large, ordinary merchants will definitely not be able to provide it, and I also told the Chamber of Commerce to jointly raise prices." ”

The Chamber of Commerce has raised prices, and the Lu family has also made a lot of money.

Next, although the Lu family can't spare their hands to deal with the Yangshan Islands, it is still easy to add a little blockage to the Yangshan Islands as a landlord, and it will not even fall on the bright side. It's best to stuff the surnamed He with a mouthful of coptis, so that he can't say anything about his suffering.

"There should be more than one island that can be developed in the Yangshan Islands. The surname He also exposed his shortcomings, and he may not have enough financial resources. ”
