241 Lin Mo's uneasiness

Two peaches kill three soldiers, separating the northern family, this big drama is very successful.

Moreover, the effect was immediate, before leaving Yecheng, Li Zan ran over to express his attitude, in the future, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to say that serfs are needed in the family, and those soldiers and horses must honestly obey the dispatch of Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling.

Moreover, in the future, it is necessary to implement the rules of wanting to see the lord of the northern country and see the Marquis of Lanling, of course Yuan Shang is shrewd and capable, and he has won Yuan Shao's inheritance, but he is too young, and he still needs the Marquis of Lanling to check more.

Lin Mo laughed and said nothing, because of this rule, the most fierce quarrel was his Li family, sure enough, as long as the benefits are in place, who is the lord of the northern country, they actually don't care.

In his opinion, Cao Cao is coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven, and Lu Lin is coercing Yuan Shangling to the north, he Li Zan is a little close, and it is not too much to coerce the fertilizer to strengthen the family, right?

In the future, in the northern country, the three-legged situation of Lu, Li, and Cui will definitely be broken because of this, and the Li family will become the biggest winner.

In fact, now Li Zan has felt the power effect brought by the general's mansion Si Nong, and some families who were biased towards the Cui family in the past have thrown their flattering eyes, smart people, I am afraid that my fertilizer indicators will not be in place next year.

Of course, Li Zan wants to repay Li for supporting Lu Bu, because he knows very well that this power was given by Lin Mo, and he can take it back at any time, after all, people don't give them all the formulas, this is a technical barrier.

"Brother Xian, this thing is really interesting, it has always been the end of the season that the counties report taxes and collections, and if they are lacking, they will find a way to let the powerful families make up for the gap."

In the inner courtyard of the Yuan family, in Lin Mo's study, Di Rong held a piece of silk cloth and smiled from ear to ear, "The autumn harvest has just passed, and the major families actually claimed that because last year's harvest was one or two percent more than expected, they would be sent as a gold at the end of the year." ”

The expected thing, with one move, the so-called Northern Family Alliance was shattered, Lin Mo casually leaned back in his chair and muttered: "Who are the people?" ”

"Too much, too much."

Zhen Rong carefully counted the signatures, and finally raised his eyes and said: "Except for the Fanyang Lu family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Henan family headed by Guo Tu and the Xin family brothers, there is no roster, and the others are quite sensible. ”

The Lu family and the Cui family estimated that they would not be able to slow down this momentum for a while, so they were a little resentful in their hearts, but it was normal.

However, the Henan faction did not report it, but it is not necessarily really ignorant, because their family power in Hebei is incomparable, whether it is the annexed land or the accepted serfs, there is a big gap between them and the local families, and it is understandable that they cannot pay tribute.

"You can handle these problems yourself, and you don't have to report everything to me."

"Don't worry, Brother Xian, Brother Fool is a little stupid, but he will never dare to disappoint you."

You are not stupid, you are so good, Lin Mo found that Di Rong has been annexing the Zhen family's business recently.

In the past, before the Mi family defected to Liu Bei, with the Yellow River as the boundary, the business routes of the Zhen family and the Mi family generally did not conflict.

Since the Mi family became a seller, Zhenrong has taken over the Mi family's previous business, so the business is getting bigger and bigger.

Now, they are all starting to stretch out their hands to the Zhen family, and the Zhen family is suffering.

Previously, the Yuan family took a look, and the major families had to give a few thin noodles, and there had never been any problems with the business, and by the end of this month, the Xuzhou traders had run to Qingzhou to seize the market, and no one from the major families had a word for the Zhen family.

Son-in-law Yuan Xi couldn't count on it, so he could only suffer a dumb loss.

The Zhen family asked someone to find Lin Mo, but how could Lin Mo be embarrassed by his own people for a Zhen family who has nothing to do with it, he can make trouble if he likes it, fatten up a little, and when the time comes to cut leeks, it will be more convenient.

Moreover, Lin Mo's current mind was not on these matters at all, the most tricky family alliance was broken, and he finally had his hands free to deal with the other three troubles.

Zhang Yan is a little useful, but before using him, he still has to think about the problem of control, and he didn't let his old father-in-law fight before, but he also thought about a problem, the black mountain thief is really not easy to fight.

Taihang Mountain is thousands of miles deep from north to south, and the average width is fifty miles, which belongs to the situation that the other party can't catch up with itself.

Yuan Shao suffered a loss on this terrain and didn't take Zhang Yan for a long time, so Lin Mo would not rashly move Zhang Yan before he came up with a plan to eat steadily, and there was no need to force him to jump off the wall in a hurry.

After thinking about it, I still have to take Jiang Yiqu and Yuan Xi first, especially Yuan Xi, which is the most tricky trouble.

After the autumn harvest was over, Gao Shun and Wei Yue took some people to leave Yecheng, preparing to exchange for Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Judging from the latest battle report sent by An Feng, Zhang Liao is not in danger of his life, Wen Chou is completely fine, Yan Liang, it is not bad, it is not a problem to hurry, so it is natural to come to the north to help.

Although the momentum of the family alliance has been broken now, the prestige of the Yan Liangwen Chou brothers in the Northern Army is even higher than that of the old father-in-law and Zilong, and this prestige is not necessarily based on force, but a psychological hint formed after years of brainwashing.

Of course, it's also important that they're northerners.

Zhao Yun was a little worried, at that time, the two brothers had said that they didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the north, even if they called them over and let them deal with Yuan Xi, they were afraid that they were unwilling.

Even the Northern Family was pinched to death, and of course the two reckless men Lin Mo were able to catch it, and they had already prepared a set of successful learning, and the two of them would definitely cooperate very actively after hearing it.

"Yunwen, Yunwen, come and see, something good is coming."

Before anyone arrived, the old father-in-law's laughter came in, and Zhen Rong hurriedly got up and saluted, but was waved by Lu Bu, "Go down, we have something to discuss." ”

Zhen Rong ran away in disgrace, even if he was Lin Mo's henchman, he was not welcomed in front of Lu Bu.

"Why is Lord Yue-in-law so happy?" Lin Mo stretched and sat upright.

After Lu Bu sat down, he put the silk cloth in his hand on the table, pouted, and motioned Lin Mo to look at it himself.

Not a letter, but a portrait.

The length is still good, but it looks very tender, thirteen or fourteen years old has broken the sky, and the signature is Cui Xian.

Lin Mo paused, and said suspiciously: "Marriage? ”

Lu Bu nodded, and said with a smile: "Your trick of killing three soldiers with two peaches really works, the Cui family should feel threatened, and they want to stabilize their ground, and not be led by the nose by the Li family in the future confrontation, they can indeed only marry me." ”

My God, Lin Mo's tactics leaned back, the old father-in-law was fifty people, and the Cui family was willing to send a cardamom girl to marry, for the sake of interests, the means were really outrageous.

However, this is the family, there is no love, but it is just a business.

"Cui Yan's daughter?"

Lu Bu shook his head, "Cui Yan's younger brother Cui Jing's youngest daughter, I heard that she has stayed at home since she was a child, but she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she dances well. ”

"Master Yue-in-law likes her so much?" Seeing Lu Bu's excited face, Lin Mo was powerless to complain, man, he is single-minded, he liked girls of this age when he was a teenager, and he hasn't changed even since he was fifty.

"The women of the world are all vulgar fans in front of your little mother."

When it comes to Diao Chan, Lu Bu is always very proud, "It's just that in so many years, it is the first time that a family has taken the initiative to marry me, and I am overjoyed for a while." ”

Back then, Yuan Shu also wanted to marry his old father-in-law, but that would just be to take advantage of his old father-in-law, the Cui family's marriage this time was obviously a sign of softness, and it was reasonable for the old father-in-law to be happy.

"What does Master Yue-in-law think?"

"Of course I have to say yes."

Lu Bu twisted his wrist, "Once we marry the Cui family, our interests will be linked to each other in the future, and under this relationship, we can also make better use of the Cui family's influence."

What's more, you don't want Li Zan to be dominant in the northern country, right? ”

The problem that Lao Yue said actually does not exist, Li Zan can't be a monopoly, and the general's mansion is not that he can't be replaced, not to mention, how much fertilizer is allocated to him every year, it's not up to him to have the final say.

However, I still agree with marriage in my heart, and the family often holds together through marriage, and being able to marry the Cui family really ties the Cui family to the chariot.

It's just that the Cui family's background is not bad, and their strength is not bad, even if it is placed in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, it is also in the forefront, are you really not afraid that others will laugh at him for marrying the homeless?

"What do you want?" Lu Bu put away the silk cloth.

"It's nothing, it just feels like something isn't quite right, but I can't tell."

Lin Mo rubbed his chin with his cheeks, he did feel uncomfortable, maybe it was because Wang Yun didn't want to pit his old father-in-law with a beautiful trick?

But Cui Xian does seem to be a lot worse than Xiao Niang, so she doesn't have this ability.

Or maybe I'm too careful, is Cui Yan really feeling the pressure because he was robbed of the position of Si Nong of the General's Mansion by Li Zhan, and he has no choice but to do it as a stopgap measure?

"Don't think about it."

Lu Bu patted Lin Mo's shoulder comfortingly, "Although you are now the Marquis of Lanling, and in the army, you are also above 10,000 people under one person, but in the end, it is my son-in-law, if the Cui family asks you to marry, they will worry about causing my dissatisfaction."

Of course, I agree that you will accept a few concubines, which is not a big deal, but outsiders don't know after all, they think so, but it's not wrong. ”

He only thought that his son-in-law was too bright, but he was ignored by the Cui family, and he felt a little lost, so he became a life coach.

"I'm serious."

Of course, Lin Mo would not be disappointed because of such a trivial matter, but he wanted to be sure that the purpose of the Cui family was to stabilize the family's status, and he had no other ideas.

After all, once married, it is equivalent to putting an outsider by your side.

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Even if you are suspicious, there must always be a reason, right?" ”

"Master Yue, has you forgotten Chen Deng?" Lin Mo asked rhetorically.

Lu Bu was stunned at first, nodded and said: "Wen He also mentioned him in the letter, saying that he is now depressed and has no interest in anything, and just wants to see Wang Lan again, which is really a seed of infatuation." ”

Then the old father-in-law sneered, "Gentle Township, Hero Tomb." But you don't have to worry too much, just this way, even your little lady can't compare to a finger, she dares to say a word, I pinch her to death than to pinch an ant. ”

This is also where Lin Mo suspects, if you really want to play beauty, of course you want to be beautiful, but you can't say that this Cui Xian is not good-looking, but compared with Diao Chan, it is really different.

It's just because of the existence of the red sleeve trick that Lin Mo will instinctively be wary of women.

"Perhaps, it's me who is too careful, but I still have to check."

"Don't worry, even if you are a concubine, you have to check the birth date, and when the time comes, I will let people check it."

Lu Bu felt that most of this was because his son-in-law was suspicious, but he was a famous daughter, and he couldn't compare with those women with red sleeves.

But it's really right to be careful, Lu Bu added with a smile: "Since you have concerns, when the time comes, you will send a few more people to keep an eye on her, as for seducing me, she is still a little tender." ”

"If Lord Yue-in-law can have this plan, then the son-in-law will be relieved." I also reminded my old father-in-law that it was impossible to repeat Chen Deng's mistakes.

Lu Bu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Our son-in-law Weng has come from the land of the two counties of Xuzhou to the northern kingdom today, and has become the most powerful prince in the Han world, of course I know that it is not easy.

I won't allow a single woman to ruin this foundation. ”

After all the words were spoken, Lin Mo didn't ramble anymore.

Probably, the Cui family attaches more importance to this matter, and when the sacrifice comes to the door, even the date of marriage is set, just on the twenty-seventh day of the first month, that is, more than two months later.

Because it's just a concubine, there is no need for three books and six appointments, and there is no need to keep the marquis's half-year gift, those are all the treatment that only a wife has.

The people who followed the sacrifice to Cui's house came back to report, and they really didn't find any problems, and even the genealogy could correspond.

Lin Mo only said that he was too careful, but there was one point, Lin Mo had reached a consensus with his old father-in-law, and in front of Cui Xian, he couldn't talk about any military aircraft.

We don't care if the Cui family has other purposes, but the woman will definitely be able to participate in these things.

Actually, even if you don't tell it, it's not a big problem, because when they were in Pengcheng, their mother-in-law and Xiaoniang didn't dare to talk about these things, thinking that Cui Xian wouldn't be too stupid, and the Cui family's family style would not be so bad.

Before the concubine banquet of Lu Buna, Yan Liangwen Chou finally arrived in the northern country.

Zhao Yun had a good relationship with the two of them, and went ten miles out of the city to pick them up.

The first sentence of the meeting was, "Zilong, there was a word in the beginning, the military and politics of the Northern Kingdom, our brothers did not participate, even in front of the Marquis of Lanling, I also said this." ”

Zhao Yun patted Wen Chou's shoulder, "Don't worry, he said that he won't force you." ”
