"Surrender?"

Chu Qianqiu was slightly stunned, a little bit unintelligible.

"My lord, they did say they were going to surrender."

"It's said that Fengzhou is too poor now that even bandits can't support it."

"These people seem to be farmers in the neighborhood, and they have heard the reputation of the adults, so they have come to surrender."

The look on Li Mingde's face was also a little strange.

To say that this Shenwu Dynasty is thousands of miles away and there are bandits everywhere, it is definitely not false.

Chu Qianqiu went back and forth three times, and he could meet bandits on the road when he returned, and he didn't have a peaceful one.

But bandits are not brushed out of the ravine.

Most of the bandits are composed of farmers in the fields, heroes of the manor, and down-and-out warriors, forming a community of interests.

Farmers farm on weekdays, and if they encounter fat sheep that they can bully, these seemingly honest farmers become bandits.

These bandits are also mainly road bandits, who specialize in keeping an eye on small traders to collect tolls.

Therefore, most of the bandits are not strong in force, and they often have to rely on the squire, the government, and the powerful.

The slightly larger caravans, they can't move, or even dare to gnaw.

Chu Qianqiu traveled this time, the guards and manpower were absolutely enough, the Guangming Temple personally dispatched the Dharma protector, and the elite of the Fuwei Dart Bureau was exhausted, and the dart master who could participate in this operation was at worst a big accomplishment, and the proportion of congenital masters accounted for thirty percent, and the quality was higher than Chu Qianqiu's own guards.

The little monk of Sanxiu may not be able to beat several of the guards.

The dart master here singles out any person, and he can be a local tyrant at the township level.

The bandits are not fools, they are there to make a living, not to think that it is interesting to be bandits, kill people and sell goods.

When encountering real hard stubble, the bandits will never take the initiative to take action, such fools have already died in the world.

But Chu Qianqiu still couldn't imagine that they would surrender.

"Could it be that they want to rely on the bandits who surrendered and sneak in to make trouble?"

"Break up these bandits and let the scholars who have taken refuge manage them."

"Find out if they have blood eucalyptus on them, and dispose of any blood eucalyptus."

Chu Qianqiu thought for a moment, then ordered Li Mingde to disperse all the bandits, and let Ren Daoyuan and other newly recruited scholars and martial artists deal with this matter, just to see what they were capable of.

"Yes, my lord." Li Mingde hurriedly responded, he was originally here for this matter.

"By the way, you have to teach them to remember to write well."

"Make them understand the importance of their work."

Chu Qianqiu showed a kind smile, which made the little monk in the carriage and Li Mingde tremble at the same time.

"Yes, my lord."

[The lord is right, not only me and my junior brother can enjoy this kind of whipping. 】

[If all the officials in the world enjoyed this treatment, my heart would be much better. 】

I can't be the only one who suffers. 】

Li Mingde suddenly felt blessed, and an evil thought rose in his heart.

He wants to use Chu Qianqiu's treatment of his subordinates on these young talents one by one.

Don't even think about running away!

Roll them up.

"The little monk will go with him." The little monk didn't want to stay with Chu Qianqiu anymore, and always felt that he would be innocent, so he hurriedly shouted.

"Go, go." Chu Qianqiu smiled and agreed.

At this time, whether it was Ren Daoyuan or Fei Ping, they all seemed to feel a huge chill, and they collectively shivered.

"It's getting colder."

……

Outside the carriage, several young talents from Lingzhou were whispering.

"Brother Ren, why did you come to join Lord Zhongwu?" Fei Ping asked in a low voice.

"If you don't take refuge, you can't do it." Ren Daoyuan said with a bitter face.

"Why, isn't Brother Ren at ease?" Another talent, Tang Liang, asked.

"There is no such thing as freedom in this world." Ren Daoyuan said with a sad face, not at all like the former merry and talented man.

"What kind of business my family does, you know."

"Yes."

"Brother Ren's family is a big deal in jewelry, gold jewelry, silver necklaces, rubies, and emeralds."

"I also bought a lot of gem deposits in Fengzhou, and transported beautiful jade from Fengzhou, worth 10,000 gold."

Fei Ping nodded.

The Ren family is a well-known jeweler in Lingzhou, and they have a store in Upper Kyoto, so they are doing very well in business.

"Eh, what's worth ten thousand gold."

"In this jewelry business, you have to make friends with nobles and make money in harmony."

"If it was in the past, either the girls of Yihongyuan would give us publicity, or we would have to satisfy the officials and the wives of wealthy businessmen."

Ren Daoyuan is not afraid to tell Fei Ping, after all, these news can be found out.

"Oh, no wonder Brother Ren used to go to Yihong Courtyard to drink flower wine."

"It turned out to be a business for the family." Fei Ping had a sudden realization.

You're insidious enough.

Let's go to drink flower wine together, we're just drinking, and you're still doing business.

It's so shameless.

I thought I was the only one pretending.

"Now that the Chu family has entered the market, they have started to buy and sell jewelry."

"The Ren family will definitely come to the command of Lord Zhongwu and say goodbye to the pier."

Ren Daoyuan was a little embarrassed.

Now Master Li's status in Linghu City is rising, whether it is the governor's wife or the governor's wife, they are actively carrying out liaison work, and they are proud to be invited to the banquet by Master Li.

In this context, who can make a loss in trading?

The Chu family opened a jewelry store, which naturally had a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources.

You can't even say it's business, and the robbery doesn't get any faster than that.

Of course, the gold and silver jewelry of the Chu family is also very competitive.

Because Chu Qianqiu left a large amount of gold and silver, all of which were raw materials that did not require money, Master Li had enough confidence to liquidate the entire jewelry market.

Price reduction, price reduction, price reduction!

Originally, with the Chu family's large purchase of real estate, Lingzhou's asset prices were pushed up, and the jewelry market rose with the tide.

Immediately afterwards, the Chu family gave the jewelry market a head start.

The gold jewelry and silver necklaces provided by the Chu family were nearly thirty percent lower than the prices on the market.

If you don't make money, make a friend!

When the old man of the Ren family saw the price of the Chu family's jewelry, he vomited blood on the spot.

The sky is pitiful, although Chu Qianqiu didn't mean to target the Ren family, but unfortunately accidentally stepped on the ants on the side of the road.

The Ren family's business is about to be squeezed out of Lingzhou.

Old Man Ren couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly sent Ren Daoyuan out to give Chu Qianqiu relief to Fengzhou, donating 50,000 taels of silver, and at the same time serving Lord Zhongwu.

Don't cut the price again, if the price is lowered again, the Ren family will die.

We were convinced and willing to serve Lord Chungmu.

"All in all, I just regret it now, very much regret it."

"I hope that Lord Zhongwu, there are a lot of adults, and don't worry about the Ren family anymore."

Ren Daoyuan also replied in a low voice, making Fei Ping ask with concern:

"Regret what?"

"I regret that I shouldn't have made a lot of nonsense in the Governor's Mansion and talked about the strategy of governing Fengzhou." (Note: Chapter 230)

"Now I can only make up for it."

Ren Daoyuan pondered and meditated, unable to think of where he had offended Lord Zhongwu.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that it was he who made a lot of nonsense in the governor's palace and annoyed the big man, so he caused trouble.

[That Governor Li's nephew Li Mingde took refuge early. 】

[I'm too late, I don't know if I can still let Lord Chungmu take a fancy to me. 】

[If Lord Zhongwu really wants to destroy the Ren family, the Ren family will be finished. 】

The more Ren Daoyuan thought about it, the more scared he became.

"Ahem, everybody."

"Lord Chungmu has an order."

"The bandits who surrendered this time are up to you." Li Mingde didn't care about the strange eyes of their Lingzhou talents, and said seriously.

……

Tianji Pavilion, Hidden Dragon Residence

"It's coming too fast."

"Isn't he afraid that we will attack Lingzhou?"

The Heavenly Machine Pavilion Lord said with some surprise, Chu Qianqiu's speed of action exceeded their expectations.

At this time, the first batch of displaced people had just arrived in Lingzhou, and Chu Qianqiu dared to put down his foundation and take the initiative to attack.

"Pavilion Master, what should we do?" The Phoenix Fairy also said with some embarrassment.

"Immediately contact Wang Qiumo, as well as the officials of Fengzhou, and ask them to release more displaced people and go to Chu Zhongwu."

"I don't believe it, he can handle so many displaced people."
