Chapter 411: The Lu Family, a Family of Kindness and Charity
"kill!"
"The Lu family deserves to be killed!"
Shen Li was the first to speak, his tone was sonorous and forceful, and there was a look of solemnity on his body. He raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Yu: "Your Majesty, if the Lu family is not eliminated, the country will be in trouble. If these evidences are spread, it will definitely arouse public outrage."
"Regardless of emotion, reason, or law, it is not an exaggeration to have the Lu family confiscated and executed for their crime!"
As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, Lin Qiushi shook his head and said, "Mr. Shen, the Lu family is one of the four prominent families. Their family heritage has been accumulated for hundreds of years. The civil and military officials of the dynasty are more or less involved with the Lu family."
"Half of the aristocratic families in the world have received favors from the Lu family!"
"Besides, the ancestors of the Lu family were heroes in the founding of the country, and were granted the title of Marquis. They are protected by their lords, so they should not be touched lightly!"
"Please be careful!"
Lin Qiushi's words came from the bottom of his heart. Although the Lu family and Chenshui Hutong belong to the four famous families, the former and the latter are completely different. The ancestors of the Lu family made great achievements in conquering the world with Taizu Dayu. At that time, Dayu Being able to gain a foothold in troubled times is thanks to the Lu family's food supply.
Moreover, although the Chen family and the Hu family are known as the four major noble families, they are not a lord's family after all. At most, they have their own network of contacts in the court. However, the Lu family is different and has the position of marquis in itself.
The marquis of the Lu family was hereditary and had great prestige in Jiangdong. Even when he was appointed as Changyan, officials from the two counties of Beihe had to go to the Lu family to pay a visit.
"hehe!"
"So, what Prime Minister Lin means is that since the Lu family is a lord, they can violate the laws of the country?"
"Your Majesty, it is easy to move the Lu family, but to move the Lu family is equivalent to disturbing the foundation of my Dayu. Don't forget that in this world, many nobles and nobles are headed by the Lu family."
As soon as Lin Qiushi said this, Shen Li smiled, but did not speak. Zhuge Liang also showed a meaningful smile.
Emperor Yu kept tapping the dragon case with his knuckles. Lin Qiushi suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and felt extremely regretful. If he hadn't said it, his majesty might have weighed it up. But as soon as he said this, he directly pushed the Lu family away. Onto the abyss!
Doesn't this remind His Majesty that the power of the Lu family is powerful enough to shake the foundation of Yu the Great?
The more fearful your Majesty is, the less he will be able to tolerate him!
"Well, I really need to weigh this matter again!"
"Everyone, please step back."
…
Koto.
Changyan County, where the Lu family is located, is north of the Li River, east of Jiang Bei, and surrounded by the Li River. It can be regarded as located in the east of the Yangtze River.
Among the four famous families, the Shui family and the Lu family, although they both belong to Changyan, are governed across the river. The Shui family is the weakest and least famous among the four famous families. Therefore, Changyan and Beihe County in the north are actually in the same relationship. They are all controlled by the Lu family.
The Lu family, in the land of Jiangdong, is like a local emperor. As long as the family is involved with the Lu family, they are all powerful. Even ordinary people, as long as they become the guests of the Lu family, they can rise to the sky.
For a case involving the Lu family, as long as the Lu family is not present, even if the county magistrate is involved in the trial, the trial cannot be held, and the case cannot be finalized unless the Lu family nods.
The Lu family mansion.
"Father, in the past few days, our Lu family's grain stores in various places have collected millions of dan of grain, and the price of grain has increased by about three times."
"Now, the court must be anxious."
"hehe!"
A gentle smile appeared on Lu Wenhan's face, and he said softly: "No matter whether the court is in a hurry or not, my Lu family must be stable."
"Son!"
"In this era, the most terrifying thing is not power, but the power itself."
"Having food means having people. With people, everything is much easier to handle."
"Is there any news from the Hu family?"
Lu Wenhan was sitting in the garden pavilion, looking at his eldest son, holding the grapes handed to him by the maid, with an extremely comfortable expression.
"Yes!" Lu Jinglong nodded and said softly: "The Hu family agreed. As long as we provide 300,000 stones of food and grass, he promised to provide me with standard equipment for 10,000 people."
"not enough!"
Lu Wenhan shook his head and said softly: "It's only 10,000 people, which is far from enough."
"That old fox from the Hu family has been in contact with the north in recent years. Does he think he can hide it from everyone in the world?"
"He will not understand the meaning of death and coldness. Now, the Chen family has turned into smoke. If the Hu family does not want to follow in the footsteps of the Chen family, they can only join forces with my Lu family."
"Now, the imperial court has taken action against our two families. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to boldly strengthen ourselves."
Chen Wenhan spit out the grape seeds and smiled: "Tell the Hu family that they don't need to send 30,000 sets of equipment. I will send someone to get it. Then prepare me a thousand rocks of coarse salt and the iron mine in Jiangbei." , I will give him five hundred thousand stones of food!”
"Father, this...how could the Hu family agree?"
"They will definitely agree!"
Lu Wenhan had a confident look on his face and looked at his eldest son: "How are the preparations over there?"
"We have strong troops and horses, ready to fight at any time!"
"Um!"
"No rush!" Lu Wenhan's face was filled with confidence: "The more this time is, the more stable it is."
"Son, in this life, you must look forward, look at money, and take one step at a time to look at three steps. When you have money, you can open a way. If you have a way, you will naturally not be short of money."
"I heard that there are another group of victims in Beihe?"
"Um!"
"Go, send people to lead them over, and let's all take them over."
"This world is not easy. We must leave a way for the people to survive."
Chen Jinglong's face instantly showed a smile of understanding, and he bowed slightly and said: "Don't worry, father, the world is not easy. If the court does nothing, my Lu family will never sit idly by."
"The people are desperate, and my Lu family will definitely resettle them well."
"Yes!"
"Remember, disobedient victims cannot be left. My Lu family is doing good, not digging our own graves!"
"Understood!"
"Tell
"What we have spread out will be taken back in hundreds and thousands in a short time."
...
Huaihe River.
As the main stream of the Lijiang River in the south of the Yangtze River, the Huaihe River runs through almost the entire south of the Yangtze River and stops flowing to the north of Julong City.
Ning Fan and his party rushed for several days and came to the bank of the Huaihe River. It must be said that places with mountains and water seem to have developed economies and wealthy people since ancient times.
"Sir, we are at the bank of the Huaihe River. "
"This is the end of the Huai River. If it encounters the rainy season, it will flood all year round. Therefore, there are few people around. The court has wanted to develop water conservancy several times and dig the Huai River to connect to Huainan, but it was rejected by the King of Huai. "
"Now, after the rainy season, this place is almost dry."
Li Luo spoke softly and introduced the local customs and folk customs here to Ning Fan. Now, in just half a year, Li Luo has successfully entered the core of the Prince Yong's Mansion and become Ning Fan's right-hand man.
"Why did the King of Huai refuse?"
"If the water of the Li River can be diverted to Huainan, it can not only prevent the flood disasters in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, but also run through the north and south of Dayu. Developing water conservancy and diverting water for irrigation will benefit the country and the people, right?"
