"Mr. Chen, my boss, this year, you have become a great benevolent person who opens a position and gives relief, and people are becoming more and more energetic, you look at my brother, my hair is gray. ”

"Heh, I heard that all the military forces in Xiangxi, including the other warlord forces that have invaded, have all been under your command, what else do you have to worry about?"

"Everywhere, Lao Luo is a petty fight, not as good as Mr. Chen, hehe. ”

In front of the gate of Chen's house, Chen Yulou took Luo Changfeng, Red Girl, Hua Magui, and Kunlun to wait here.

After Luo Lao Crooked arrived with Adjutant Yang and the four guards, he didn't wait for Chen Yulou to speak, but complained about his grievances, and the corners of Chen Yulou's mouth twitched when he heard it.

But this guy is really not, he is only in his forties, but his temples are gray, and when Luo Changfeng saw him last year, he didn't have gray hair!

Chen Yulou automatically ignored his complaints, exchanged a few words with him, and then turned sideways to invite him into the house.

After Luo Lao finished greeting Chen Yulou, he turned his attention to Luo Changfeng, hooked Luo Changfeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Changfeng, I haven't seen you for more than a year, brother, I miss you tightly!"

Luo Changfeng glanced at him, and said as lightly as ever: "Oh?

"Uh......" Luo Lao Crooked was messy at the time, why didn't this brother play cards according to the routine?

Chen Yulou and the others almost didn't laugh, calling you a hypocrite kid, playing with Changfeng, and embarrassing you won't kill you.

"Ahem, this, in short, I really want to!" Luo Lao scratched his cheeks, smiled awkwardly, and then didn't dare to come again, and said sincerely: "Last year's incident, I still owe you a thank you, if you hadn't brought your brothers to help, how could I have such a weather today, brother." ”

Seeing that Luo Lao was finally serious, Luo Changfeng no longer choked him, "Yes, Luo Shuai is too polite." ”

"Okay, my own brother, it's really right, brother, I won't talk nonsense, in the future, my brother needs my brother to serve me, just squeak. ”

"Then the little brother won't be polite to Luo Shuai. ”

While speaking, when he arrived at the main hall of the Chen Mansion, the guests and hosts sat down, and the difference in status could be seen at this time.

Chen Yulou and Luo Lao sat crookedly in the main seat, Hua Magui and the red girl stood side by side beside Chen Yulou, Luo Changfeng sat on the first chair on the left under the main seat, and Kunlun stood behind him.

Adjutant Yang stood on Luo Lao's side, and the four guards stood on the left and right at the door, acting as sentry posts.

Luo Changfeng is not only the leader of the swordsmen of Jieling, but also the head of the martial arts of Changsheng Mountain, although he did not say it explicitly, but his status has basically been the second leader of Changsheng Mountain by default, so on formal occasions, he has a seat.

Although the status of the Red Girl is not low, they do not have official positions, they are just Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng's henchmen, so they have no seats.

But even those leaders and leaders who have positions in their positions have to give them some face when they see them, as the so-called seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door.

Moreover, even if they don't have a position or the identity of Chen Yulou Luo Changfeng's confidant, just by virtue of their ability, it is enough for them to gain the respect of others.

"Okay, Luo Shuai, they are all their own brothers, if you have anything to say, let's not engage in those false things. Chen Yulou picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip, and then put down the teacup.

"Yes. Luo Lao responded crookedly, and then 1510 told him about his current situation, and finally said: "Lao Luo, I came here today, just to ask Mr. Chen to go out of the mountain, bring all the people, find a big tomb to dig up, add two and one to make five, and the family will get half, what do you think?"

Chen Yulou said with a wry smile: "Luo Shuai's division needs to be equipped, not to mention thousands of fast guns, plus millions of bullets and more than a dozen cannons. ”

"British goods are not as good as those made in Hanyang, but they are really not cheap, you take the abacus and pull it, and calculate how many Ming utensils you have to dig out to buy these equipment?"

"If you want to follow Luo Shuai's appetite, you have to at least find a big tomb of the princes and kings, now the nearby tombs have long been dug up by us, how easy is it to find such a big tomb?"

Seeing Chen Yulou say this, Luo Lao said with a dead face: "My boss, if it is an ordinary small act, you still need to work hard? ”

"At this time, the army is expanding too fast, and the military budget is tight, and if we don't pay the brothers some silver dollars, then there will really be a mutiny. ”

"Mr. Chen, if you don't save yourself when you see death, you have to throw away this mess and continue to go up the mountain and fall into the grass. ”

Luo Changfeng was confused at that time, he glanced at Luo Lao crookedly with an expressionless face, and there were ten thousand disbeliefs in his heart.

Is there really anyone who is willing to give up glory and wealth and leave behind the army of hundreds of thousands of people under his command, and there is a local emperor who is not appropriate and goes to the mountains to be a bandit?

Chen Yulou saw that Luo Lao said this, and he was helpless in his heart, in fact, why didn't he move this thought?

In the past few years, he has opened warehouses every year to release grain and help the people, and his hands are very tight, and he is also thinking about making it bigger, but for a while, he has not found any good goals.

In addition, the old man has been very dissatisfied with him in recent years, and he has not made up his mind, so he had to say at the moment: "Luo Shuai, let me think about this matter for two days, I have to think about all aspects of the situation before I can give you an answer." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you for a few days. ”

......

Three days later, Chen Yulou still ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain.

On the city wall near the gate of Xiangyin City, Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng stood side by side, looking at the ragged building below, and thanked the people of Dade when they received a coarse grain steamed bun, and sighed in their hearts.

A woman with a child in the refugee group who had just received a steamed bun turned around and saw Chen Yulou, and immediately pointed to the city wall excitedly and shouted: "Look, child, it's Mr. Chen, our great benefactor, child, kowtow to our great benefactor." ”

The woman's voice attracted the attention of all the refugees, and everyone turned around one after another, and kept waving towards the city wall, shouting words such as "Thank you for the grace of your life."

Chen Yulou was full of emotion in his heart, feeling that the invisible responsibility on his shoulders was a little heavier, and he also hugged his fists to the refugees at the moment.

People like Chen Yulou, in the words of later generations, are typical, very socially responsible people.

In later generations, at most he was a wealthy businessman who was enthusiastic about charity, but in this era, he was a living Bodhisattva with countless living people and thousands of Buddhas.

"Changtai rested to hide his tears and mourn the hardships of people's livelihood...... Alas. Chen Yulou chanted a verse from Qu Yuan's "Lisao", and then let out a long sigh.

Luo Changfeng on the side said lightly: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best." ”

Chen Yulou said in a deep voice: "I have lived for half my life, and it was only three years ago that I began to help the people, and I found the meaning of my life. ”

Luo Changfeng glanced at him and said, "You are already very lucky, many people have not figured out what they live for until they die." ”

Chen Yulou turned his head to look at Luo Changfeng and smiled, "What about you?

Luo Changfeng was silent for a moment, then looked at Chen Yulou's eyes, and said, "I didn't have it before, but now I have found it." ”

The smile melted on Chen Yulou's face, he was very happy, it was worth it to have a like-minded brother who understood him in his life.
