Unlike other families, Wu Jiashan understands the way to protect himself, and never participates in the disputes of the world's forces, so that in the end, no matter who takes the world, he must make the world stable, re-establish order, and restore stability.

The Wu family has a deep heritage in Jiangdong, deep-rooted, and its influence involves all aspects, if you want to stabilize Jiangdong, you have to win over the Wu family.

At the beginning, Chu Taizu was so strong, he didn't dare to wipe out the entire Wu family, he just cut off the main vein of the Wu family, and still wanted to win over the Wu family.

If you participate in the disputes and knots of the forces in the world, then the result will be different, and no lord of the world will allow a force to make a comeback, and will definitely find a way to exterminate it.

This Chen Mo tried every possible way to pull the Wu family into the water, and he didn't want to think that his background was also worthy.

……

Wu Changlin left, Chen Mo sighed, he really wanted to marry the Wu family.

After all, if you can marry the Wu family, you can avoid many detours, you can get some of their children and resources, and you can also use the influence of the Wu family to recruit talents.

If it can be implemented properly, the dilemma of the lack of internal affairs personnel under his command will be improved to a certain extent.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the proportion of illiterate people reached more than 90 percent, and the remaining 10 percent who could read and write were almost all from the gentry of the world from all over the world.

This is why, for thousands of years, the imperial court can only suppress the family, but cannot eliminate the family.

Because if the imperial court wants to govern the world, it has to rely on the family, and you can't appoint an illiterate peasant to help you govern the state and county.

Okay, even if you rule out the public opinion, you really have to appoint an illiterate civilian gang to run the state and county, how long can he be in office after he takes office? Do the people below listen to him?

Therefore, the emperor knew that the family could not be eliminated and could only be suppressed, so the imperial examination was born.

Although the imperial examination system made the path to political advancement fairer and more equal, and expanded the source of officials, most of the people who passed the imperial examination still came from large families.

However, the Wu family was unwilling, and he couldn't forcibly marry.

To start a war, there is an excuse.

This excuse has to make you stand on the righteousness, and the Wu family did not provoke him.

In addition, what he wants to do at the moment is to recuperate, there are wars in Longyou and Fengzhou, and he doesn't want to go to war with the Wu family for no reason.

……

Today is the third day of August in the ninth year of Xuanhe, the weather is good, the wind is beautiful, and the warm breeze is blowing.

Chen Mo successively received secret letters from Geng Songfu and the Nangong family.

Geng Songfu's suggestion was the same as Chen Mo's thoughts.

And the secret letter of the Nangong family made Chen Mo feel very good.

Nangong's family was in a hurry.

It finally knew it was in a hurry.

Chen Mo didn't expect that the Nangong family actually had a water division of nearly 5,000 people in the Heavenly Master Army, besieged in Fengzhou, and wanted him to come to the rescue.

It stands to reason that Chen Mo accepted Nangong Ru, and the Nangong family is considered a "family", and it is natural to rescue him.

But no one is a fool, Chen Mo knows that the Nangong family bets at both ends, while the Tianshi Army bets more, and he bets less here.

And the Nangong family didn't want to be too deeply involved with him, otherwise they wouldn't rather send a side daughter over as a concubine than let the concubine marry him.

If he does this, even if his ship sinks here, the Nangong family will have a big deal to give up Nangong Ru and let Nangong Ru fend for herself, and the money invested will be wasted.

But the concubine is different.

It's just that I didn't expect that now the ship of the Heavenly Master Army has sunk

At this moment, Sun Meng came to Chen Mo and whispered in his ear, "The Seventh Lady is here." ”

The seventh lady in Sun Meng's mouth is Nangong Ru.

is different from Han Anniang's own seniority.

The people below Chen Mo are to see which women have taken Chen Mo as concubines.

Among them, the second lady is Yi Shiyan, the third lady is Han Anniang, the fourth lady and the fifth lady are Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining, the sixth lady is Liang Xue, and the seventh lady is Nangong Ru.

Because Chen Mo has not married a wife yet, the position of the eldest lady is vacant.

But even if it is vacant, it can't be temporarily occupied.

After getting the communication, Nangong walked in like a paragraph.

Nangong Ru came in a hurry, her makeup was not put on, her eyes were still a little red, she seemed to have cried before, and as soon as she came in, she wanted to cry and said, "Husband." ”

"Ru'er, what's wrong?" Chen Mo held Nangong Ru's small hand.

"Ask my husband to save my father's life." Nangong Ru raised her hand to hide her tears, and then said: "Sister-in-law came just now and said. said."

Nangong Ru slowly said the truth of the matter.

It turned out that Nangong Ru's father, Nangong Xian, was also in the Nangong family's water division, serving as the captain of the third battalion, originally intended to fight for a certain position in the Heavenly Division Army for the Nangong family, but he didn't expect to be besieged in Fengzhou, and Nangong Ru only knew about it after listening to Ma's words.

Before, Nangong Ru only knew that his father was released from outside the family, but he didn't know what he was doing.

“……”

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, just wait for me.

A big family is a big family, and the vision is long-term.

Chen Mo guessed that it was because Nangong Ru's father was in this water division that the Nangong family specially selected Nangong Ru as his concubine.

People have been prepared for a long time.

Now that my father-in-law is in Fengzhou, I will ask you if you can save it, right?

Seeing Nangong Ru crying with pear blossoms and rain, I saw You Pian's appearance, Chen Mo took her into his arms, stroked her shoulders, and said angrily:

"Ru'er, we are a family, your father is my father, and your mother is my mother. Now that Lord Yuezhang is besieged in Fengzhou, how can he not save his husband. ”

"Husband." Nangong Ru was moved to cry and snuggled in Chen Mo's arms, because she knew that this matter was difficult to do, but Fujun agreed without thinking about it for her sake.

"If the husband needs to spend money, the concubine can transfer a batch of money, grain and livestock from Chuanhai to help the husband dredge the relationship."

"Where did you get the money?" Chen Mo was halfway through his words, and when he saw Nangong Ru's begging eyes, he suddenly realized.

She didn't be honest with her before, and she didn't fully devote herself to it.

"These are the dowries that my father saved for his concubines, and the last dowry was given by the family, so." Afraid that Chen Mo would misunderstand, Nangong Ru explained.

"No, I still have this money, let's leave it to the second elder for the elderly." Chen Mo said.

Chen Mo felt that Nangong Ru's family was a side line in Nangong's family, how much money could he have.

But Nangong Ru's words later stunned Chen Mo.

"Dad and Mom can't ask for so much money." Nangong Rudao.

"Do some people think that the money is not enough to spend, buy a few big houses and it will be gone."

"My father and mother don't lack a house, and with more than one million yuan, I can't buy all the houses."

"How much? More than a million. Pass through? "Chen Mo was stupid.

"Before, my father helped the family run a boat overseas, and after running for more than ten years, I still have some savings." Nangong Ru said.

"That's your money too, how can I ask for your dowry." Chen Mo said awe-inspiringly.

In the Great Song Dynasty, noble daughters married with a dowry, and the dowry belonged to themselves, if the wife did not take it out to subsidize the family, the husband had no right to move.

"Didn't the husband say it just now, we are a family, and the concubines are the husband's." Nangong Ru pressed her cheek against Chen Mo's hot chest, and her pretty face flushed.

After appeasing Nangong Ru, Chen Mo immediately wrote a letter to King Huai.

Didn't you let yourself not meddle in the affairs of Toyosu?

Then you have to give some benefits.

Put this water master here, no problem.

……

When King Huai received Chen Mo's secret letter from Yuzhou, it was already August 20.

It has been almost three months since he sent Chen Mo's secret letter to Chen Mo and received Chen Mo's reply.

I thought that Chen Mo would get involved, but I didn't expect this thief to sell at a price.

Qinxian, which is now the base camp of the Huaiwang army, has gathered a total of 100,000 troops, and there are also people and horses coming from all over the country one after another, obviously to wipe out the Tianshi army in Fengzhou in one fell swoop.

In the big tent.

King Huai sat at the top, and below was the staff and generals of the Huai Palace.

"This is Chen Mo's reply, let's take a look." King Huai put Chen Mo's secret letter on the table.

The fifth floating sheng was about to get it, but Liu Ji took the lead, and after Liu Ji got the secret letter, he also glanced at the fifth floating sheng provocatively.

Because Chen Mo did not reply to the letter for a long time, the Huai Army thought that Chen Mo would collude with the Heavenly Master Army, so the Fifth Fusheng who had promoted the signing of the Non-Aggression Pact was in the "team" of King Huai, and his prestige was greatly reduced, and Liu Ji, who had criticized the Fifth Fusheng before, was favored by King Huai.

The Fifth Fusheng frowned.

However, Liu Ji saw that the content on the secret letter was not what he wanted to see, and the joy on his face was a little less, but there was still something to use.

He immediately criticized and wrote: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have already said that this Chen Mo is a villain and can't be with him, but someone just has to be stubborn."

Now this thief has taken advantage of this incident to dare to ask us for the fourteen cities north of Fengzhou, which is obviously to take advantage of the danger of people, sit on the ground and raise the price, it is not enough to ask for land, and even ask us to let a sailor of the Heavenly Division Army go over, which is simply shameless. ”

"Liu Ji, if you have anything to say, say it in front of me, and don't give me yin and yang here." The fifth floating life snorted softly.

"Hmph." Liu Ji snorted coldly, gave the secret letter to the fifth floating life, and said: "Take a look for yourself, this is the person you fancie, don't say that this secret letter is forged, you should know his handwriting." ”

The fifth floated and snatched it with anger, and after reading it, his face was also slightly gloomy.

The request in this letter is indeed a lion's mouth.

The fourteen cities in the north of Fengzhou are equivalent to half of the territory of Fengzhou.

I also want to let go of a sailor of the Heavenly Master Army.

If you don't have any strength, you want so much, isn't this treating others as wronged.

What he didn't know was that Chen Mo wrote it on purpose.

Because no matter what he says, King Huai will lower the price.

Rather than that, it is better to raise the price at the outset, so that there is a long negotiating space in between.

And if you directly explain your reserve price, you may be pressed out.

That's not how we talk about things.

Seeing the expression of the fifth floating life, Liu Ji became proud again: "I have a wrong sentence. ”
