Chapter 225 A Bad Debt

Yue looked around and made sure there were no other creatures in the room, so he sighed:
"That's all. Everyone knows that the king has soft ears. When our father was impassioned, he believed in his father, and when others were crying, he sympathized with others. Have you forgotten how the new coup d'état failed?"

He Lingchuan shrugged.

He didn't forget it, because he didn't remember it at all!

It's no wonder that he was too careless in state affairs.

"That failure, many people were disappointed, I think Da Sima was included." He Yue sighed again.

He Lingchuan put his finger in front of his lips and gave a soft "shh".

This younger brother is smart, which is just too ideal.He changed the subject: "Hey, you said that old man Li died sooner or later, but he disappeared before we arrived in Dunyu. Is there something strange here, as if—God help me?"

"He's seventy after all, so he's in his dying years." Even though the candle looked thick, "Even if he was killed by an evil law, he can't be caught without proof."

"This old man has done a lot of immoral things, and I'm afraid there are many people who curse him. One day the amulet fails, and he will be gone." He Yue didn't care much about how Li Zhao died, but he cared about the impact after his death. , "Li Zhao is dead, the Li family is divided, and the four major families are divided, which is only good for us."

He Lingchuan asked him suddenly: "Will they suspect us? After all, the current situation is in our best interest."

"What do you suspect us?" He Yue was taken aback for a moment before he understood the meaning of the words, and laughed, "How is it possible! We have no enmity with the Four Great Families, and our father is an official of the royal court, even in front of Li Zhao. I haven't seen it before, how could I kill him secretly?"

He spoke louder and louder, with the intention of arguing a lot. He Lingchuan booed him several times but failed to interrupt him.

"what happened?"

The courtyard door suddenly opened with a creak, and He Chunhua walked in: "Why is Yueer so excited?"

He Yue stood up to greet him: "Father, my brother and I are discussing how the Li family will speculate on Li Zhaozhi's death."

"The one who cleans himself will be cleared." He Chunhua glanced over the two brothers and became very kind, "Don't pay attention to the gossip outside."

"How's your injury?" He also saw the bandage on He Lingchuan's arm, "Your medicine ape said that you let the blood-letting knife out, and at least two catties were released."

He also noticed the stove placed in the corner of the room, and walked over to observe the knife mountain: "Is it okay to insert the knife like this?"

"Master Li said that it will grow by itself in a few days, like a living thing."

"Okay, I'll send more people to you, don't let Xiaoxiao disturb the process of planting knives." He Chunhua said with a smile, "I have already discussed with Marquis Songyang, since Master Li is here, I might as well stay in Xiazhou for a while .He supported the newly opened branch of Songyang Mansion in Dunyu, and I gave them a good start, and the first batch of orders was placed in this branch.”

"Order?" He Yue grasped the point immediately, "Do we have to pay for it?"

"Of course... go to the public account." He Chunhua coughed lightly, "Since we first arrived in Xiazhou, Songyang Mansion agreed to pay us the account, and we can settle it in batches within one year, free of interest."

The He brothers looked at each other, and it was a great favor to send charcoal in the snow.Songyang Hou really has an investment vision.

"Songyang Mansion is a Taoist school, and the manpower in Dunyu is not abundant, so they usually don't make ordinary soldiers. I ordered a batch of weapons from Songyang Mansion for use by the generals in the army. Zeng Feixiong has wanted a long iron spear for a long time. "

The weapons used by the generals are different from the soldiers, at least at the level of magical weapons, such as Zhong Shengguang, Dong Haoming, Nian Zanli and even Sun Fuping, all of which are treasures that can be remembered in history.Even the Tenglong Spear that Wu Shaoyi gave to He Lingchuan was a pistol used by Liao Mo, a famous general of the Xuan Kingdom, and even the strength of the Crocodile God could not break it.

Ordinary soldiers can't do this.

Zeng Feixiong was only promoted last year, and the saber he carried was broken when he fought against Lu Yao bravely. He has been trying to find another weapon at hand, this time it is best to be a high-quality magic weapon.

He Yue's eyes lit up: "Father, give me one too!" As the son of a state shepherd, he still has this little privilege.

In the Northland, the position of the general manager is equivalent to the state shepherd, the head of a state.

He Chunhua laughed and said, "Yue'er is a gentleman, and a sword is a gentleman in a weapon. I will ask the master craftsman to forge a sword for you." Looking at He Lingchuan, "Lingchuan, what about you? It seems that you have swords, guns and bows. right?"

The ghost eye bow of Hong Qiang, the leader of the rebels, is also with his son.

He Lingchuan opened his mouth, and changed his words on the edge of his mouth: "Oh, I haven't made up my mind yet. I will discuss it with Master Li."

He Chunhua nodded.

He Lingchuan saw his loving face and felt a subtle feeling in his heart.Speaking of old man Li's death, did he think too badly of his father?After all, there is no evidence and no evidence, and any speculation is just speculation.

He Yue said worriedly: "Father has acted vigorously and resolutely today, although he has shown his means, I am afraid that the four major families will not give in easily."

He Lingchuan said with a chuckle: "Then they have drawn their way, and we will accompany them."

He Chunhua nodded: "Don't forget the plan we made in Ru County... If we only focus on Dunyu, it may not be too petty to fight with these aristocratic families. We came to Xiazhou to settle accounts with Nian Zanli. At that time, he The envoy Nian Songyu tricked our father and son into the Panlong Desert to work for his family's rebels, making us almost treasonous, and this matter will finally be resolved on the battlefield."

The northern front line is the most important task of Xiazhou's general manager.

"Yue'er, you come to the state capital tomorrow. I want you to help calculate the account books and count the population so that we can recruit soldiers and buy food later." This is the specialty of the second son, and He Chunhua certainly won't waste it, "Chuan'er, your grandson Hongye also has some talents, so let me borrow them for the time being."

Although he recruited 19 people in Shihuan, and made many inspections along the way, he still felt stretched when he arrived in Xiazhou.

Alas, in a small place like Qiansong County, there are too few people in charge of politics, and he can't even bring a few.

"Take it and take it." He Lingchuan was very straightforward, "By the way, let him settle the score, so I don't have to go, right?"

He Chunhua had a half smile but not a smile: "You understand?"

He Lingchuan coughed.

He Yue said: "There are so many absurd things about Dunyu, the local government can be called decadent."

"Otherwise, why would I ask you for help?" He Chunhua said indifferently, "Just after today's court trial, I went to check the treasury documents over the years, and they still wanted to fool me with bad debts."

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "The next step is to get these things in order." Then he said to his eldest son, "By the way, from this month onwards, your regular money will be reduced to 150 taels. Impatient, shut up and listen to me!"

Just as He Lingchuan was about to open his mouth to protest, he glared at him and stopped.

"We have just arrived in Xiazhou. The expenses are higher than before, and the income is smaller than before. There are many things to do to bring this money from Heishui City. I took the time in the afternoon to take a rough look at the treasury of the state capital. It is all broken and there is not much left Hang money." He Chunhua patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "So, in addition to increasing income, we must find a way to reduce expenditure. The expenses of monkeys and rock wolves are all in the account of the wife, and you have to spend 150 taels carefully. Wait for Du Get over the difficulties in front of you, and you will slowly rise up in the future."

His father was really doting on his elder brother, and even gave him 150 taels of silver with a full face of apology. He Yue was not without envy.His monthly allowance is only 50 taels, although he can never spend it all.

He Chunhua was busy with all kinds of affairs, so he got up and left in a hurry after speaking.

On the first night in Dunyu, he must burn the lights and fight at night.

Seeing that his elder brother's face was still pale, He Yue took his leave tactfully and left.

He Lingchuan poured himself a large cup of tea, sipping slowly while thinking, luckily he still had 10 taels of silver in his pocket.

This is the money he secretly hid from selling Sun Fuping's purple golden pestle to the Songyang Mansion.

However, he is about to enter the next stage of Ziwu Jue practice, and the Yin-Yang powder he takes will also be upgraded, and more expensive medicines will have to be added to have better effects.

150 taels per month is not enough to buy half of the medicinal materials.

Dad is right, you have to increase your income while reducing expenditure.Now that he has arrived in Xiazhou, he has to find a way to make money, so as not to sit back and eat.

Today's Panlong City is a cloudless and fine weather, and He Lingchuan has just returned from patrolling the wasteland.

Recently, Liu Tong's team took turns to be on duty in the wilderness. This place is not as watery as the Chipa Plateau. It is a typical tundra climate. Standing on a high hill, you can watch for tens of miles.

The number of monsters born on the wasteland is not as large as that on the Chipa Plateau, and there are even fewer people doing evil, which is a idle job for most teams.However, Liu Tong was very experienced. Seeing that it had just snowed a few days ago, he took his teammates to the Yanshan Mountain, thirty miles west of Panlong City.

As the name suggests, the mountain emits smoke, which is sometimes very pungent.When He Lingchuan walked to the ground, he found that it was a volcano, and it was very active, because a large cloud of steam often came out of the cracks in the mountain for no reason, and it could burn people's arms if they were not careful.

It hasn't erupted for a long time. Because of the geothermal heat, the mountain is covered with snow, but the foot of the mountain is actually a little green.

The feet of the pines and spruces were uneven, and the melting snow formed ice or puddles, which nourished moss and lichen.

Liu Tong led the crowd into the cave.

The cave is located at the foot of the mountain. It is very long. The air is full of damp smell. Walking in the cave feels soft, because the moss is almost woven into a blanket.

It is still warm here, and the severe cold outside cannot invade.

But He Lingchuan didn't expect that there would be someone guarding outside the cave. Liu Tong revealed his identity, and the other party let him go, and explained: "Each person is only allowed to take five."

"There are only six people left in my team."

The guard was silent for a while, and then said: "Everyone takes one more."

What treasures in the cave can be counted?Liu Tong soon revealed the answer:
It turned out to be a snail.

He found a snail without much effort, and showed it to everyone: "This kind of candy snail has a bright shell, and there are almost no two of the same color in the world. It is one of the specialties of this wasteland. Strictly speaking, it is a dish. A specialty of Dragon City that doesn't appear anywhere else."
