Chapter 231: Two Queens and Three Families (1)
"What do you think of the letter now that it's finished?"
Seeing An Wuyu holding the letter and being silent for a long time, Yu Lingyi asked.
He had read everything that was written in the letter. In his mind, there was no hesitation in this matter, why should he worry about it for so long.
"The An family naturally doesn't have any doubts, it's just that this matter still involves the Chen family, and I can't make a decision for them. An Wuyu was a little embarrassed.
The Mu clan, also known as the Duanmu clan, was later divided into two surnames, one was An and the other was Chen. The original name of the giant deer king was Duanmu Cheng'an.
Therefore, the surname Chen is also a descendant of the King of the Giant Deer. Duanmu Yu didn't think of this section, yes, there was only this one letter to the descendants of the giant deer queen.
Chen?
Yu Lingyi then remembered that the descendants of the giant deer king had two surnames, but he knew that the descendants of the giant deer that Duanmu Yu wanted were people who could be used for him, and people who could stir up the rivers and lakes of Dahua, but they were not stall men and pawns who were selling in ordinary lanes.
"The Chen family?" Yu Lingyi said in a daze, "Isn't the Chen family in decline?" I have read the register of Qianshui City, and the surname Chen is only four or five hundred households. ”
An Wuyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. While pointing to the chair next to Yu Lingyi, he motioned for him to sit down.
Yu Lingyi was also interested, set up the chair and sat down, and said, "I would like to hear the details." ”
"The Chen family has not declined. In the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the Turkic Kingdom, the Chen family is even more important than the An family. An Wu Yu said.
"Oh?" Yu Lingyi was shocked and said happily, "Which sect is the Chen family?"
It was really an unexpected joy to have a family, and another Chen family that was not weaker than the An family, Yu Lingyi couldn't help but smile.
"Hehe, the Xu family is not a sect of rivers and lakes. An Wuyu shook his head and smiled.
Yu Lingyi was a little disappointed, and asked again: "It's not the Jianghu sect, is it an important minister of Dahua?"
Thinking of this possibility, his mind opened up again. If the Chen family has a few powerful ministers, it will naturally be of great use to disrupt the Dahua Dynasty.
"The Chen family is not in the same way. An Wuyu replied lightly.
Seeing Yu Lingyi's face showing disappointment, he changed his words and said: "The Chen family is rich in the world, and their family business is a money bank!"
Redeem the bank!
Who in the world doesn't know the exchange bank?
Slightly larger state capitals rarely do not have money exchanges.
Gold to silver, gold to jade, gold and silver to copper round, copper round to gold and silver, gold and silver to banknote paper, banknote paper to gold and silver, loose silver to official silver, official silver to loose silver...
Not only to do the business of the imperial court, but also to do the business of the common people...
Not only throughout the counties and states of Dahua, but also in the countries of Ji, Shatuo, and Xian Ma, there are also many semicolons.
It's just that no one knows who the owner of this exchange bank is, but I didn't expect it to be the Chen family!
The descendants of the Giant Deer King, the Chen family.
"Bang!" Yu Lingyi slapped it with one palm, almost breaking up the bookcase between the two, "Great!"
"Wonderful! wonderful!" Yu Lingyi shouted one after another. I can't help it.
The reason why the war has not been fought for a long time is that the situation in Dahua has not reached the worst level, and more importantly, the military expenditure is not enough, and the grain and grass are not enough.
Once two armies go to war, the outcome is often determined by the supply of military supplies, not the difference in combat power.
If the military budget is sufficient, the soldiers can wear armor, the war horses are equipped with good saddles, and the swords and guns are sharp and arrows are sufficient.
If the military budget is sufficient, eight people can be placed in a cauldron, three meals can be full, and there will be meat in wartime.
If the military budget is sufficient, no matter how high or low, the soldiers can camp without sleeping in the open, have horned boots, and sleep in winter.
If the military expenditure is sufficient, the wounded soldiers can be treated, the sick can be supported, the war dead can be given preferential pensions, and the old and orphans can be relied on.
That was what Xu Qianmeng said to Yu Lingyi when the two were fighting.
I remember that day, Xu Qianmeng drank a lot of wine, talked a lot, and finally cried at the desk.
The two of them drank the same amount of alcohol, and they had never won or lost for more than ten years, which was the first time Xu Qianmeng lost to himself.
The difficulty of the country lies in poverty, the poverty of the country, the poverty of the people, and the poverty of the land.
The land of southern Xinjiang is more stony, sandy and less muddy, the soil layer is thin and barren, and the products are naturally not abundant.
More than three hundred years ago, after the ancestor of the Duanmu clan was defeated and retreated to this, even Xia Ruren was unwilling to send troops to chase after him.
It is precisely because of the poverty of the Turkic country that the Duanmu clan will never forget it and want to return to their homeland.
The difficulties of Dahua's people's livelihood are man-made disasters, all kinds of man-made disasters. The people's livelihood in the Turkic country is difficult, but it is the time of day, although they do their best, there is still nothing they can do.
Xu Qianmeng and Duanmu Kezhi's talents are not high, however, they have not been able to raise military expenses for a year of war despite their ten years of strength.
"Where is the head of the Chen family?" Yu Lingyi asked anxiously.
As An Wuyu said, in the great cause of the northern expedition of the Turkic country, the Chen family is indeed more important than the An family.
"The Chen family is in Zhuzhou, where the county capital of Fanxi County is located, and it is about four or six hundred miles away. An Wuyu replied, "It's too late today, tomorrow morning, I will take you to Zhuzhou to find Chen Jinbei." ”
"Chen Jinbei?" Yu Lingyi asked a little unclear.
An Wuyu explained: "The steward of the Chen family is Chen Jinbei. ”
"Oh, I see. Yu Lingyi nodded and asked with a smile, "You should be very familiar with the road, right?"
is also a descendant of the Duanmu clan, and there is no reason not to be close.
"Hehe, over the years, I have almost met two guests, one is Chen Jinbei and the other is Xu Xiaoyu. An Wuyu stroked his beard and smiled.
If it weren't for the welcome guests who talked about Yu Lingyi's martial arts, he wouldn't want to see guests today. Fortunately, with the blessing of our ancestors, I finally did not miss this God-given opportunity.
"Xu Xiaoyu?" Yu Lingyi had a feeling of déjà vu, remembering a person, and asked, "What is the relationship between him and Xu Xiaoyi?"
He naturally knew that there was a Xu Xiaoyi among the Dahua masters, ranking third after Hanging Yue and Yi Qilin. Although I have never heard of such a person as Xu Xiaoyu in the rivers and lakes, however, just from the name, you can guess that this person must be related to Xu Xiaoyi.
An Wuyu Zhengse replied: "Everyone in the world knows that the number one master of the Xu family is Xu Xiaoyi, but the family is his second brother Xu Xiaoshi. He paused, looked at Yu Lingyi and said with a smile, "But few people know that the person who is really in charge of the Xu family is their eldest brother - Xu Xiaoyu." ”
The words are not shocking, and they are endless.
The old people on the rivers and lakes may know that the three brothers of the Xu family, Xu Xiaoyu is much older than the two younger brothers, and he became famous all over the world before he was forty years old. It's just that he seems to have suddenly lived a secluded life, and he has not asked about the world for thirty, so naturally no one in the rivers and lakes remembers him. Even, many people suspect that he is dead.
Unexpectedly, this Xu Xiaoyu, who has been hidden for 30 years, is the real helmsman of the Xu family!
Just as Yu Lingyi's thoughts were flying, An Wuyu said another sentence that startled him: "Besides, I guess this Xu family is the Leiyang queen you are looking for." ”
