Xue Xu ate a meal and left, returning to Houcheng.

The six clansmen he brought, Lu Songli saw it, and gave each of them a meeting gift.

In the end, she left Alice and the other five, and Lu Songli asked him to arrange it himself.

Alice was a tall, burly woman, seven feet tall, and skilled with knives.

Wherever she went, she held her broadsword.

"Alice, have you eaten enough?" From Xue Xu, Lu Songli learned about her amount of food.

Alice touched her stomach and nodded sheepishly, "Alice is full of food." ”

Lu Songli told her, "Remember to eat enough, don't be polite, don't starve yourself." ”

Alice hesitated, "But if I let it go, I'll have to eat a lot of food in one meal." ”

"It's okay, eat with confidence, you're here to protect me. As for me, in addition to paying you wages, I am also responsible for keeping you fed. If you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to protect me? ”

"Then I'll let it go for the next meal?" Alice confirmed again that in fact, she wanted to say that even if she didn't eat enough, she was so strong that it was okay to protect her.

Lu Songli encouraged her, "Just let go." ”

Alice's eyes lit up, and she nodded heavily, "Hmm! Master, I listen to you. ”

"That's right."

Alice said solemnly, "Master, don't worry, Alice will protect you." ”

Lu Songli smiled, "I believe in you." ”

Alice went out with a knife, and she stood guard outside the door. At this time, she was still a little excited in her heart, and those who were willing to let her eat well were all good people. And her master also said that he would pay her salary?

She decided that if the master really paid her salary, the salary would be sent back to the clan by the second uncle. As long as she can eat enough and have a place to sleep, nothing else matters.

Xue Xu left with five juniors.

Regarding his hurried behavior, Xian Feng and the others secretly wondered, "Strange, second uncle, didn't you say that you want to stay here for two days?" ”

Xue Xu touched his beard and said, "Your second uncle and I are busy with official business, how can we have time to stay here?" ”

On the official road from Ping County to Pingguo County in Xi'an, a group of people are riding horses and galloping.

Qin Sheng rode his horse and galloped, and his own soldiers urged the horses vigorously and chased after him.

But there is no way, the distance between the two sides is still getting bigger and bigger.

The pro-soldiers are also helpless, who let the handsome horse under the crotch of the sixth master of their family be the head horse, the king of horses, they are just ordinary horses.

In the past, the sixth master would occasionally slow down and wait for them, but now that he is about to return to Pingguo County, he will definitely not wait for them.

The pro-soldiers simply did not force the chase, but maintained the usual speed to move forward.

At this time, they couldn't help but talk about the handsome mare under Qin Sheng's crotch.

Speaking of which, this female head horse was recently followed by the sixth master to the depths of the grassland to find the largest herd of wild horses. This female head horse has a very strong temperament, and no one is allowed to ride it except for their sixth master.

Qin Sheng met Xue Xu at the gate of the city, he turned over and dismounted, and greeted him, "Mr. Xue, are you finally back?" ”

"yes, I just got back a short time ago."

"Mr. Xue, you should have just come to Guoping County, right? Going? ”

"Well, Sixth Lady Qin ordered a few things to come down, and I have to go back to Houcheng to handle it."

Qin Sheng hurriedly gave way, "Oh, that's it, then you go, I won't delay you." "The daughter-in-law's affairs matter.

Xue Xu bowed his head reservedly, "See you later." ”

"See you later."

When queuing up to enter the city, Qin Sheng murmured, "This old man, something is wrong." ”

But soon this matter was left behind him, and after entering the city, he could see his daughter-in-law, who should be full of thoughts about that bad old man?

Yuzhou, Xuchang

The south of Nanyang broke through a new high today, and the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce closed for statistics, this day, they sold a total of 10,000 stone of grain, and the income was about 28,000 taels.

After the price of grain was raised to 280 wen a bucket, the grain merchants and chamber of commerce began to sell grain at a high price, and the amount of grain sold every day increased from a few hundred stones, to more than 1,000 stones, and then to 10,000 stones today.

Now there is money coming in every day, which makes Che Jiuming feel very good.

Che Jiuming believed that when the relief grain brought by Zhang Xian was eaten up, all the people in Nanyang would have to take out the gold and silver hidden to buy grain from the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce.

He's going rich! Che Jiuming decided that he didn't mind selling his body to those who really didn't have any money in their hands.

When he sells all the grain in his hand, he will use the silver to buy the fields in Nanyang at a low price. These people who sold themselves to him will become his hermits, creating infinite value for him every year.

May House

In the living room, Meizishan and Zhou Beicheng sat opposite each other.

Mei Zishan glanced at Zhou Beicheng, who was depressed, "Do you regret it?" ”

"Well, don't you regret it?" Of course, Zhou Beicheng regretted it, his batch of grain was sold at a price of one hundred and fifty wen a bucket, and he sold two hundred thousand stones at once.

Now under Che Jiuming's operation, the price of grain has risen to two hundred and eighty wen a bucket, and the price he sold is almost half cheaper, and he can't help but feel heartache at the thought of losing so much.

Mei Zishan persuaded him, "Don't look at Che Jiuming's price of grain so high now, you have to be able to sell it." ”

In Mei Zishan's view, no matter how high the total value of the grain that cannot be sold, it is just book wealth.

When Zhou Beicheng heard his words, he was still hesitant in his heart, "I always feel that according to the current trend, big meat can always be eaten." ”

Mei Zishan rolled his eyes, "You are really greedy for this high price, you can sell grain with you." I don't believe you've got all the food out? ”

Zhou Beicheng didn't speak, he didn't go all out and there was a seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, they are grain merchants, they have no grain in their hands, how can they be called grain merchants?

They all withheld a part of the grain and didn't give it all to Luoyang, otherwise how would they deal with Che Jiuming?

"Look again."

Now they only hope that if there is any trick on the Luoyang side, they will hurry up and make Che Jiuming unlucky. Otherwise, Che Jiuming will not be unlucky, and when they are discovered by the other party, the unlucky ones will become them.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace

Xiao Li's father-in-law received a secret letter, which was sent from Liaodong County.

He opened it and looked at it, and asked him to do something.

Xiao Li's father-in-law's full name is Li Jieying, because he guided Lu Yushi's second daughter, Lu Er, and later won her appreciation, she invested in herself.

He used this money to make a little bit up and down, and operated himself to serve in the Imperial Palace, but unfortunately the first emperor had a short life, and he ended it before he started to exert his strength.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not wait to see them, the eunuchs who were used during the period of the previous emperor. On such important occasions as the Imperial Palace, people have been replaced.

He was also transferred out of the Imperial Cadre Palace because of this.

Later, before Lord Lu was released, he even gave him some manpower in the palace. These manpower are all secretive and can come in handy at critical times.

He is now a powerful eunuch in the palace, although he is not as good as the several big eunuchs in front of the emperor, as well as the chief manager of the Empress Dowager's palace, but he can also speak in the palace.

Li Jieying didn't know that she was just a member of Lu Songli's wide net, and after she came up, she focused on cultivating her.

Li Jieying's father-in-law always remembered that Lu Songli had a good understanding of him.

What she asks to do, if she can do it, he will do it for her, and he will work hard to do what is difficult.
