Zhangde House.

Roche Compound.

The Luo clan has been inherited since the Yuan Dynasty, with a history of more than 100 years, and has great prestige in Zhangde Mansion and even in the whole of Henan.

Roche was a businessman before, and he was originally an unknown merchant, but it began to rise when Luo Chengyou was the head of the family.

The Luo family, whose ancestors lived in Shanxi, bribed the Yuan court to enclose Timur, the Taiwei stationed in Shanxi, and secretly resold grain and grass at a high price between the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Army, and obtained a lot of wealth.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang successively defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng to unify the south, and the power of the Yuan court declined, so Luo Chengyou sold all his family property and went to Henan to buy a large amount of wasteland.

Since then, the Luo family has been living in Zhangde Mansion.

Although due to the implementation of the law of folding acres in the Hongwu and Yongle periods, Luo's land strength was hit hard, but in the orthodox years, due to the power of the demon queen and the ruling party group of Wang Zhen, the local land annexation became increasingly serious.

Luo Jianbi, the current head of the Luo family, befriended the Sun family and Wang Zhen's eunuch party, and ran amok in the local lawlessness, and the officials either received a lot of benefits, or turned a blind eye because of the Sun family and the eunuch party, so their strength gradually recovered.

Up to now, he has become one of the top landlords in Zhangde Mansion.

Originally, if this development continued, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of landlords mainly from the Luo clan would surround the Wang Zhuang of the clan relatives and occupy eight or nine out of ten acres of land in Henan.

At that time, the local people in Henan, as long as they wanted to farm, had to become their tenant farmers, even the military households of the guards.

But this process was suddenly cut in half in the first year of Jingtai.

The newly enthroned Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu suddenly resumed the method of folding mu during the Hongwu period on a large scale in the name of restoring the ancestral system, which caught the Luo clan and the entire Henan landlords and clansmen off guard.

But the Luo clan and the landlords were not vegetarians after all, and they began to fight back against the imperial court openly and secretly, openly and secretly, and with guns and arrows, making it difficult for the officials of the Zhumu faction led by Shang Lu to move an inch in Henan.

However, just when they thought that everything was ready and the court had nothing to do with them, a big news came that Zhu Di did not play a normal routine with them.

An edict was sent to Fan Guang, who was stationed in Kaifeng, and the situation of the entire Henan Mu Law changed in an instant, like a steel knife, straight into Luo's heart.

The arrival of the Shenji Battalion is like a heavenly soldier who suddenly descends to the mortal world, and no mortal conspiracy can stop them from advancing.

......

On this night, the Roche compound was lit up.

For nothing else, today is the wedding day of Qian Suxin, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, and Luo Jian, the second son of the Luo family.

These two big families in Henan will join forces, become in-laws today, help each other in the future, become bigger and stronger, and create brilliance.

The whole city of Zhangde Mansion is full of lights these days, there is no barrenness that is experiencing floods, and the victims passing by are not clothed, and they can't even eat enough, looking at this scene, they don't know how to feel.

A middle-aged man with a big belly got up, and the banquet full of Luo's compound instantly quieted down, only to hear him smile and raise his glass: "Today is the big day of the little girl Su Xin."

"All of you in-laws, all of them eat and drink with their bellies open, and they are all counted as the heads of my in-laws, Luo Dong's family, his family is not bad for money, hahaha!"

Looking at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, the guests also stood up and applauded: "I'm waiting to congratulate the Qian owner!"

"Luo Dongjia, the second son of your Luo family can marry such a talented girl, I am really envious of me!" Someone shouted, "Isn't it, you're going to have to go into the cave soon?"

Luo Jianbi, the head of the Luo family, also replied, "Old Zhao, don't laugh at me! Who doesn't know, your Master Zhao has recently added a new concubine, although it is from a peasant family, but who doesn't want that figure?"

The surname Zhao looked like he was in his fifties, and he looked like a dead wood, but when he heard the words, he was like a spring breeze, and hurriedly waved his hand, although he excused himself, his words were all complacent:

"Whereever, wherever, let's all be with each other!"

"Let's hurry up and enter the cave room, don't let that delicate little lady wait!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, Luo Jianbi said, "Everyone, listen to me! My Luo family is married to the Qian family today, and it is good for a hundred generations to cultivate the good, and at this time the heavens and the earth are happy."

"From now on, anyone who comes to eat my family's wedding wine today is my good friend Luo Jianbi, and there are discounts for buying rice at my Luo's rice shop!"

"I am interested in establishing a joint chamber of commerce from today to recruit heroes from all over the world! Whether you are in the grain and rice business, the cloth business, or the dumping of land, you can come to our chamber of commerce!"

"I have a century-old reputation of the two families, I don't have to say it! As long as you join our Chamber of Commerce, you will always be friends!"

Hearing this, everyone applauded.

"My Li family joined!"

"My Zhao family counts as a share, in other words, Lao Luo, you won't treat me as an old friend, right?"

Everyone was very enthusiastic, they naturally knew the weight of the two families, at least in this Zhangde Mansion, once the two of them were united, there would be no rivals in the business world.

At this time, if you don't hurry up and get a piece of the pie on this big ship, what are you waiting for?

Luo Jianbi hurriedly raised his hand and said loudly:

"Don't worry, today is still the big day of my son and my daughter, the matter of the Chamber of Commerce, I will personally send an invitation in a few days, please come, and then discuss!"

The old man surnamed Zhao was desperately crowding each other with wrinkles on his face, and echoed, "Then the old man can go back and wait for this invitation from the Luo Dong family?"

Luo Jianbi looked at him deliberately and said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhao, rest assured, your Zhao family is the largest grain and rice merchant in Zhangde Mansion, and three out of ten rice shops in Zhangde Mansion belong to your Zhao Dong family."

"This invitation, Luo personally delivered it."

All the people were benefited, laughed and laughed, and began to sit down and eat and drink and feast.

At this time, in front of the Roche compound.

When a few hungry people in ragged clothes saw that the lights were bright and full of friends, they thought of trying their luck, and the first one said:

"The adults are doing well, but the little ones have a flood in their homes, and their houses are flooded, and they haven't eaten for three days."

A woman behind him also said, "Adults, it's okay, just give some leftovers at will, thank you, thank you, thank you."

The family guarding in front of the door saw this family of three, but they didn't care.

I thought about driving things away, but I noticed that the woman who spoke just now was quite beautiful, so the corners of her mouth opened and she smiled: "It's not impossible, I still have some sour steamed buns, but you have to let your mother-in-law stay with me for a night."

"After this night, you will have something to eat."

While speaking, several Luofu family members also came up, touched their chins and said, "I think your little daughter is not bad, she hasn't been ** yet, right?"

"Since you're here, don't go, spend the night with your grandfathers, and give you food."

The victim who was the first to speak hurriedly protected his wife and daughter behind him, turned around and left, but several family members chased after them and surrounded them.

"Do you think that this Luo Mansion is for you to come and leave whenever you want!"

"You can't leave tonight!"

The three victims were surrounded in the middle, and although the man was so hungry that his face was yellow and thin, he still protected his wife and daughter behind him, staring closely at these lewd family members.

The two sides were about to make a move, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from behind.

The flames were soaring, but a large group of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion who were sharp in armor arrived, and they surrounded these family members in the middle, and a thousand generals asked sharply:

"Is this Luofu?"

Where had those few family members seen such a scene, they were all so frightened that they cowered, and the arrogance of Fang Cai completely dissipated.

Fan Guang stepped forward, looked at the four-character plaque of "Luo's Compound" hanging above his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty is really sage, the people have been suffering for a long time, and this is Luofu."

He turned around, squatted down, wiped the muddy tears on the little girl's cheeks, and said, "Don't cry, it's okay, we're here to save you."

forthwith

He looked sideways and said coldly, "What are you waiting for?"
