Chapter 875 Message Summary
"At that time, like Bailie, they also paid tribute to the state of Mou. But after the establishment of the state of Ya, after several battles, it annexed several small neighboring countries to expand its territory. Lie. I heard that at the end of last year, there was another conflict between Bailie and Yaguo on the border, and the other side picked things up first, and Bailie lost a lot of money in the end."
"This is blackmail." He Lingchuan stroked his chin and thought.With such a bad neighbor, Bailie's fate is really bad. "If there are two, there will be three. If the country of Ya tastes the sweetness, there will be no peace for Bailie."
"The current leader of the Bailie Clan is Lu Zhensheng. The Lu clan has long been extinct, and Lu Zhensheng, who was born in a collateral line, was elected as the patriarch."
"Lu Zhensheng seems to have negotiated with Qingguo to take back Blade's Edge Port, but failed."
"But the Bailie Territory itself seems to have developed fairly well in the past ten years or so."
Lu Zhensheng?He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows. This is the nephew of the original mother Lu Xiaoyun, who was also the person who forced her to give up her inheritance rights and flee to Yuan Kingdom. Later, she got her wish and sat on the position of patriarch.
That is, the supreme leader of Bailie Territory.
600 years ago, after the kingdom of Bailie was defeated by Beqa and its land was taken away, the Lu family led the people of Bailie to move here to continue living, but they did not establish a new country.
This is the territory of the Lu family.
Against the backdrop of the weakening aura, few aristocratic families can last for 600 years, and usually disappear within 200 to [-] years.The same is true for the Lu family. ZTE has been rejuvenated several times, and it has been brilliant several times. In the end, it was still planted in the long river of time. It is not easy to maintain it to this day.
In today's world, the Lu family is already an ancient family.
It's a pity that not being "old" will be respected.
Ding Zuodong also spoke: "Lu Zhensheng has two sons. The eldest son Lu Qing'an is 31 years old and has always stayed in the clan; the second son Lu Qinglin is 27 years old and has worshiped Qianyuan Valley since he was a child. This is the largest and oldest village in Mou State. One of the Taoist sects, the predecessor was the Ancient Immortal Sect; later, Lu Qinglin was recommended by Qianyuan Valley to join the army of Mou State, and was soon promoted to the rank of captain. It seems that he recently made meritorious service in the battle on the Western Front and was awarded the title of General Xu. Talent of Mou State With a lot of people and fierce competition, this kind of promotion speed is already extraordinary.”
"Xu?" He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "That's a good title. It seems that he has made a lot of contributions, and Mou Guo also intends to promote him."
The names of some miscellaneous generals are just like playing games. The generals of building boats and generals of material officers are all related to the subordinates of the troops they lead.
The message of the word "Xu" is very good. It seems that Lu Qinglin is also a talent.He Lingchuan had heard of Qianyuan Valley. This long-established Daoist sect has very strict selection criteria, and has an extremely close connection with the Damu Royal Court. Rich and noble families simply cannot get in with money.
Qiu Hu also asked: "Western Front? Is that fighting against Beja?"
"I heard that it is. There are also businessmen from the west in Blade's Edge Port. They all say that Beja frequently launched strong attacks, and Mou Guo rose to fight."
He Lingchuan glanced at Dong Rui from the corner of his eye, and saw him winking at him, the meaning was obvious:
The instigator is here.
If it hadn't been for He Lingchuan's release of the torch, which almost blasted the Star Picking Tower into the sky, and ignited the fuse of the turmoil in Lingxu City, Beijia would not be so distraught.
The emperor was angry, bleeding and drifting away.The dignity of a powerful country cannot be offended.
But in troubled times, heroes come out, and in such an era of war, heroes and wizards are most likely to come out.
Lu Qinglin also took the opportunity to accumulate military merit.
"But his greatest ability was not to win battles, but to marry Xia Lishang, the daughter of General Yutian and Prince Taibao Xia Pei. Legend has it that as soon as Lu Qinglin entered the capital, he was spotted by Xia Lishang." Ding Zuodong said with a smile, "Outside The most widely circulated one is the romance between Lu Qinglin and the daughter of the Xia family."
"Xia Pei is leading the battle on the western front, so it can be said that he is an important figure in the royal court."
"The Lu family has found a good in-law for me." He Lingchuan knew as soon as he heard this, that this might be the difficulty for him to take back the Bailie territory in the future.
He tracked down the case of the elixir in Bejia and traced the clues to Cen Boqing, but then the clues were cut off.Cen Boqing was not considered a top power in Lingxu City where nobles gathered, but he married the daughter of Da Sinong, and no one dared to touch him - including the Prince of Chiyan, Fu Shanyue, who was present in person.
He Lingchuan tried his best to trick Cen Boqing into confessing.
The same goes for the deer family.Lu Zhensheng found Mou Guo's current general to be his in-laws, which added a lot of difficulty to He Lingchuan's plan.
The royal relatives are the most difficult to deal with, and the most difficult to deal with.Xia Pei's prestige in Mou country is not far behind.
Sure enough, Ding Zuodong nodded and said: "That's right, since Lu Qinglin married the daughter of the Xia family, the prestige of the Lu family has been rising all the way. Except that Yaguo doesn't accept this and still raises threats, the surrounding forces have been polite to the family. A lot. I heard from outside that if Lu Qinglin can earn a few more military honors, he will be a rising star in the officialdom of Mou State."
He Lingchuan hummed.
Although there are elements of exaggeration released by the Lu family themselves, war is indeed the best way for generals to rise, especially since Lu Qinglin found a big backer for himself, and General Yutian should be happy to promote his son-in-law.
Internal promotion does not avoid relatives, whether it is Beijia or Mouguo.
Tao Ran interjected: "Oh, by the way, there was an accident a year ago in the Niushan Mine of the Bailie people, and more than 200 people were buried in the tunnel collapse, but the number of injured was less, only more than 80. I don't know if the number of casualties has been confirmed. Exaggerated, but I heard that the compensation for the aftermath of the mining accident has not been completed yet.”
Everyone sighed: "This is a serious accident."
"The miners are losing a lot of money."
Tao Ran added: "The owners of the mine are the Lu family. The pension they gave out was 80 taels for the dead, 50 taels for the seriously injured and disabled, and only [-] taels for the minor injuries. The family members were dissatisfied, and they gathered together to quarrel several times, and the village prison We can’t even live anymore.”
"The deceased only received [-] yuan in compensation?"
Those who are seriously injured and disabled are troublesome, and they still have the rest of their lives to live.Most of the people who go to the mine to mine are the strong labor force of the family. Not only can they not support the family now, but they have to burn money to treat their own injuries and take medicine, which has become a burden instead.
No wonder the family members are dissatisfied.
Everyone said one after another: "The Lu family is stingy, sitting on a rich land, owning mountains, forests and mine fields, they can't even give up these 3 taels."
Ding Zuodong smiled and said: "You don't know that the money of these aristocratic families is circulated in the industry. If there is an emergency that requires gold and silver, they usually have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. They are not as generous as they seem."
He has worked as a housekeeper in a wealthy family for more than ten years, and he is the top leader inside and outside, and he knows the doorsteps best.
Tao Ran didn't believe it: "No matter how poor you are, no matter how much you need to turn around, it will cost you money in a year, right?"
"That's right, so there should be some problems with the Lu family's accounts." Ding Zuodong pondered, "The settlement of Bailie people is the fiefdom of the Lu family. They also want to run it well and gain a good reputation."
No lord wants his fiefs to live in distress and complain.
What is the last resort for the Lu family? "Perhaps it was the battle with Ya Kingdom, which cost too much? Didn't they lose a lot of money when they were defeated at the end of last year?"
If you lose, you must pay compensation, which is international practice.
Yaguo is also dependent on Bailie, and if he has no money, he comes to knock on it, and treats Bailie, who was originally rich, as a cash cow.
He Lingchuan heard this, and immediately said: "There is plenty of time, and you are not busy for a while. I will give you a big vacation and pay half a month's salary extra, so that you can play in Blade's Edge Port and the territory of the Bailie people for about ten days."
"My lord is grand!" Everyone cheered when they heard that the boss was actually on paid leave.After two months on the boat, two months of wind and waves, although no one is delicate, but a big holiday, delicious and fun, who can not be happy?
"Don't be so busy, you know what you should do?"
"I know, I just go to Fengyue to find out some news!" Tao Ran solemnly said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub!"
Everyone clapped their hands and laughed.
He Lingchuan paid the salary readily, waved his hand and said, "Get out!"
After the Ronshan people walked away arm in arm, He Lingchuan called Ding Zuodong over.
"It's not easy for you to come with me. How can you be as carefree as these bachelors?" He Lingchuan took out 50 taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "Take your wife to buy some clothes and go to some good restaurants to please her. .”
During Ding Zuodong's trip to the east, his family had great disagreements.His children and grandchildren refused to come, so Ding Zuodong had to go south to Baishawan with his wife.
The cabin boards are so thin that He Lingchuan could even hear Ding Zuodong and his wife quarreling, and his wife cried uncontrollably, scolding him for abandoning the family and abandoning the son.
People miss their homeland mostly because of their relatives and friends.He Lingchuan understood his state of mind.
"That woman..." Ding Zuodong remembered that his mother-in-law had a stern face when she got off the boat, probably because his boss saw it.
Alas, shame on me.The boss is really careful.
He was about to decline, but retracted the words, "Oh, I'm the one who caused trouble for the master."
"It's nothing more than human feelings." He Lingchuan didn't take it seriously, patted him on the shoulder, "Go."
Tao Ran waited at the side, and only stepped forward after Ding Zuodong left: "Young master, what task do you want to give me?"
He just saw He Lingchuan winking at him, so he deliberately stayed behind.
He Lingchuan nodded secretly.This guy really has an eye for value.
Qiu Hu is fierce and tough, while Tao Ran is smart and has a good sense of propriety.
"Go to the Bailie people's territory and try to see if you can sneak into the Lu Mansion." He Lingchuan told him, "It's not appropriate to just go outside and ask for information."
When the news is spread outside the house, it is often exaggerated and distorted; the real conflict in a family is usually hidden at the core.
In the past, when outsiders saw their He family father and son, they also looked happy and harmonious.Only He Chunhua and He Lingchuan knew that this was called being in harmony with each other.
"Yes." Tao Ran was about to move, but suddenly turned around again, "Can you ask your pharmacist to make me a medicine?"
Ling Guang was eating melons by the side, when he heard this, he raised his head: "What's wrong with you?"
He Lingchuan laughed: "He wants to make a medicine that hurts people, but it won't hurt people's lives, you just have to refine it."
Tao Ran admired: "The young master is amazing!" He saw through his tricks at a glance.
After explaining everything, He Lingchuan left the inn by himself and went to the beach to enjoy some fresh air.
