Chapter 47, Changes, and Plans

"Huh! Guanying, you have broken through! Congratulations, congratulations!" On this day, Lu Guanying and his wife came over, and Li Shucheng found that Lu Guanying had broken through to the first-class realm as soon as he saw it.

"Thank you, Brother Shucheng!" Lu Guanying solemnly made a big salute. Not only was the martial arts he practiced given by Li Shucheng, but Li Shucheng has given a lot of guidance over the years, although he does not have the name of the master, but he has the reality of the master. The achievements he has made now are brought about by Li Shucheng.

"It's also your own diligence, otherwise even if you are given the world's number one martial arts cheats, martial arts will still not succeed. Li Shucheng said with a smile.

It's still the same process, first talking, then Li Shucheng gives some pointers, and finally leaves after eating.

"Uncle, Brother Shucheng, the Zhuangzi over there in Dasheng Pass has been built, and we will move in a few days. At the dinner table, Lu Guanying said.

A few years ago, Guiyunzhuang was burned down by Ouyang Feng, although it only burned a few buildings, it made Lu Chengfeng aware of the danger and prompted him to make the decision to move. It's just that Lu Guanying's day of marriage was approaching at that time, so he didn't move immediately. Ouyang Feng burned Guiyunzhuang, Li Shucheng didn't know about it at the time, and he only found out when he went to Guiyunzhuang later to see how many buildings were missing.

Li Shucheng and Li Yu both knew about Lu Chengfeng's plan to move, and they didn't persuade him. In fact, Lu Chengfeng's move was not only to avoid Ouyang Feng, but also to break off the relationship with the Taihu Lake water thieves. After so many years, he has robbed many corrupt officials and accumulated a lot of wealth, but he has also offended many people. Moving to break off the relationship with the Taihu Lake pirates is really a very good choice.

As for what Li Shucheng said about going to sea to avoid the war, Lu Chengfeng gave up after thinking about it. If it's just a small island off the coast, you can find it casually. If you are too far away, although you don't have to worry about safety issues, but if you are too far away from the Central Plains, it will be difficult to integrate into the Central Plains in the future. Anyway, the family's martial arts are not bad, and it is easy to avoid them during war.

Lu Chengfeng moved, originally to strip away the past and start anew, so he had to avoid people's eyes, and Li Shucheng and his father did not send it.

The Lu family moved away, and Guiyunzhuang didn't make a move, so it was empty. Because the Lu family left, the Taihu Lake pirates lost their backers and began to split. Some chose to leave and go back to their old jobs, as they were fishermen from nearby fishing villages. After the division of the water bandits, without the suppression of Lu Chengfeng and Lu Guanying, several water pirate leaders swelled their ambitions and began to attack other water thieves to strengthen their own power.

The water thieves made a fierce noise, today you beat me tomorrow I will beat you, and there are many dead and injured. The government also noticed this situation and kept an eye on the battle situation until there were only three water thieves left, and immediately sent troops to break through the three water villages and quell the Taihu Lake water thieves in one fell swoop. Although the Taihu Lake water thieves were eliminated, there was no news of the backers behind the Taihu Lake water thieves. However, they also breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't know better, did they dare to chase after them if they knew?

"The water of Taihu Lake has been stolen, and it will be safe to take the Taihu Lake waterway and fish in Taihu Lake in the future. Li Shucheng said. This didn't touch him much, anyway, there was no Taihu Lake water piracy, and his family business bank didn't have to pay for the road. On the contrary, other commercial houses can save a lot of money, and some fishermen can also rest assured that they can fish boldly.

In the past, fishermen fished in Taihu Lake, although they were rarely harassed by water pirates, but because there were many water pirates, there was a large area outside each water pirate water village that was not allowed to enter the fishing boats, and the fishermen fished on a much smaller water surface. Now that the water thieves have been exterminated, there is no forbidden area for fishing in Taihu Lake, and you can go wherever you want.

In the third year of Baoqing, sad things followed, first his mother Li Chen died, and not long after his father-in-law also went, he lost his wife and his in-laws one after another, Li Yu was obviously in a bad mood. However, Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue had no way at all, and after thinking for a long time, they found a way to have a child to make the old man happy, but the child was not something that could be wanted by wanting, and Li Yu still died depressed in the end.

"You say, if we had children earlier, would it not have been like this? Jiang Mingyue said.

"It's the same. They have also had a good time over the years, and it makes no difference whether they have children or not. Li Shucheng shook his head and said, "Perhaps, it is because they have no children that they have survived all these years." "Mother Li Chen lived to be seventy-two years old, and my father lived to be seventy-four years old, and at the end of this year, he was already a long life. My father-in-law lived to be fifty-seven years old, which is not a short life, and many people died at the age of forty or fifty in this era.

Due to the death of several relatives, Li Shucheng did not pay attention to the outside affairs, and when he came to his senses, he found that the Western Xia had perished, and the last Western Xia emperor was besieged in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia, and surrendered to Mongolia for half a year.

And the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan destroyed the Western Xia and died on the way back to the army.

"Genghis Khan died on the way back to the army, perhaps, because of the assassination of the masters of the Western Xia Palace?" Li Shucheng thought, "Li Qiushui became the Empress Dowager of the Western Xia, leaving her martial arts in the palace, and Lady Xuzhu is the princess of the Western Xia, there must be masters in the Western Xia Palace, or their royal people." If it is against a large army, even if it is a congenital master, there is not much way to do it, but it is much easier to assassinate on the way back to the army. "Qiao Feng has fought against the army twice, both of which adopted the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, if he really fights, it won't be long before Qiao Feng will be consumed to death.

For Mongolia, Genghis Khan's death was not at the right time, if he did not die, he would soon be able to destroy the Jin State, and then lay down the Song Dynasty and unify the world. However, because of the death of Genghis Khan, there were contradictions within Mongolia for the throne of Khan, and it was even divided into several countries, which seriously slowed down the process of defeating the Song Dynasty. If Kublai Khan hadn't had the ability, maybe the Song Dynasty wouldn't have perished.

"Even if Genghis Khan is dead, the Jin State is already surviving, and in a few years, the Jin State will be captured by the Mongols, and then the Song Dynasty will be attacked. Li Shucheng continued to think, "The attack on the Song Dynasty seems to have been fought for forty years. Good guy, it took forty years for such a weak chicken in the Song Dynasty to take down, which shows that the Mongol military strength after the split is actually not strong. "However, the city of the Song Dynasty was high and thick, and the Mongols were good at horse warfare and field warfare, but they were not good at siege warfare. Moreover, siege warfare is to gnaw hard bones, and there have always been huge casualties, so Mongolia spent forty years to capture the Song Dynasty, and it also tried its best.

After the end of filial piety, Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue went out for a walk. Go south from Suzhou to Lin'an, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Hangzhou, "the tourists who are blown by the warm wind are drunk, and Hangzhou is Bianzhou".

Lin'an, as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is the first prosperous city in the Great Song Dynasty. And the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, the rendering of the literati and ink writers of the Jin Kingdom, is even more fascinating. When he arrived in Lin'an, Li Shucheng didn't find fault, this time he came out to be distracted, his eyes only picked up the good ones, and he also specially visited Bai Di and Su Dike.

After playing in Lin'an for more than ten days, he also tasted a lot of delicious dishes, but he would not run into the palace dining room to steal food like Hong Qigong.

"Western Xia has perished, although Genghis Khan is dead, but looking at the appearance of the Jin Kingdom will not last long. Out of Hangzhou, Jiang Mingyue said, "Look at the appearance of the people in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, sooner or later they will die in the country, shouldn't we be prepared?" Li Shucheng had already said that he would go to sea to avoid the war, but he had not prepared at all over the years.

Li Shucheng asked: "You said you are going to sea?" Li Shucheng is well aware of the development of history, and he is really not in a hurry to go to sea, and there are still more than 40 years left. However, judging by the situation, it is indeed time to prepare, maybe Mongolia will come over one day, and it is not possible to prepare early.

"To the sea, of course. What else could it be?" Jiang Mingyue said.

"Okay, then let's go to the port. Li Shucheng said, "You can prepare first, find an island first, and then build it." "It's built over there, and as soon as there is a problem in the north, it will go to sea immediately.

"Zhang Chu, Liu Shan, you have worked hard all these years. At Zhang Chu's house, Li Shucheng toasted the two of them and said.

"The two of us just stay here, don't do anything and take money, what's the hard work. Zhang Chu said with a smile.

"By the way, the soap recipe has flowed out, why don't you let us go back to it?" asked Liu Shan. A few years ago, Zhang Chu and Liu Shan found out that there were other people selling soap in the market, and they originally wanted to take down those people, but Li Shucheng received the news and told them not to do it. Anyone who knows the recipe will definitely kill people, including those who leak secrets in the soap workshop. How many people do you have to kill? Li Shucheng felt that it was not worth it for a soap recipe.

"Then you have to kill people!" Li Shucheng sighed, "For the sake of a soap recipe, I can't do this kind of thing." ”

"It's just that in this way, the workshop makes a lot less money. Zhang Chu said.

"It doesn't matter, the workshop itself doesn't have a lot of money. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "In the future, you will share the money earned by the workshop equally, and I will give you the workshop." ”

"How can this be?" Zhang Chu and Liu Shan shouted in unison. How can you say that there are tens of thousands of profits a year, and you can give it when you say it, can you not surprise them!

"Not only the workshop, but also the Fulai Restaurant and the Fulai Commercial Bank, I will also transfer out. Li Shucheng said, "These industries don't make much money but involve a lot of energy, so they are not suitable for continued operation." "Now he is already a millionaire, a million taels of silver! Since he has so much money, why should he continue to run a trading house? Even Li Shucheng, a member of the Four Seas Trading Bank, wants to transfer out, and then cultivates with peace of mind, waiting for the Mongol army to go south to avoid chaos.

"The Western Xia is gone, the Jin Kingdom is also about to be, and the next is of course the Great Song Dynasty. Li Shucheng said, "You also know what the official palace of the Great Song Dynasty looks like, and it will definitely not be able to stop the southern invasion of Mongolia." I will give you the soap workshop, so that you can save some money to cope with the future war. ”

"Alas!" the two sighed after listening to Li Shucheng's words. The Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, but they knew the urine nature of those big men in the court, and they also knew the strength of the Great Song Dynasty's military strength.

"Mingyue and I are thinking about going to sea. Li Shucheng said, "With the chaos of war, no matter how good you are, you can't beat thousands of troops." Once the Mongols break through the Great Song defense line, then the two of us will go to sea to avoid the war, and then come back when the war subsides. ”
