After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 878 Money Paves the Way
"Well, in fact, Deer San has already sold a lot of his ancestral properties, and two of them are still in my hands. Of course I know best."

Steward Feng drained the wine at the bottom of the glass, and Lu Qiuwei quickly poured it for him.

"I remember one time, Lu San's wife complained to him, saying that her grandson's food, clothing, housing and education were far inferior to the children of the patriarch's family. Lu San replied, Xia Taibao's grandson is of course precious, how can we Compare?"

The phrase "Xia Taibao", of course, refers to Lu Zhensheng's in-laws, Xia Pei, the Taibao of the Crown Prince Mou.

"What's the crux?" Lu Qiuwei became a little impatient, "Why is the Lu family poor?"

"It's because of this in-law!" Every time Steward Feng said a word, he poked the table to emphasize his tone, "The second son, Lu Qinglin, is smart and promising, and the old Lu's family devoted all their efforts to cultivating him. It costs a lot of money to enter Mou Wangting. You see Lu Qinglin walking up the road, but in fact every step is paved with money, so the road can be wide and straight."

This is Blade's Edge.Steward Feng dared to call the Lu family by their first names when they were not on Bailie's land. He didn't plan to go back anyway.

Lu Qiuwei played the role of a rustic old hat, and took a sip of wine: "Qianyuan Valley is so famous, I heard that you can't get in if you only have money."

"If you have money? If you have a lot of money, can you enter this first-rate sect? The key is you have to find the right person, and you have to make connections. It's very expensive to get favors in this circle!" Feng Steward sneered "I heard from Lu San that Lu Zhensheng asked the two elders of Qianyuan Valley to help, and the red envelopes given to everyone were at least this amount—"

He holds up two fingers.

"Ten taels?"

"Lift ten times."

"Twenty thousand dollars?!" Twenty million dollars, that's too expensive!Is it a huge bribe? "The elders of Qianyuan Valley just need to move their mouths?"

He Lingchuan on the side pressed his temples.What is the concept of twenty thousand silver?
He Chunhua has worked hard to manage Hongya Road in Heishui City for more than ten years. His administrative level and governance ability are far beyond those of ordinary officials, and he manages the border area like the capital of a state.Even so, the annual revenue of Hongya Road is only 15 taels. After deducting various expenses, the balance can still be tens of thousands of taels.

Based on this level of profit, Hongya Road has become the cash cow that Rongshanzong favors, so it is eligible to be used as collateral for Yuan Kingdom.

As a result, thousands of miles away, Lu Zhensheng bribed two elders of Qianyuan Valley, spending 4 taels of silver in one go!
Is it because Lu Zhensheng is stupid and has a lot of money, or is Qianyuan Valley's quota too expensive?
"Do you think it's over?" Seeing that he has never seen the world, Steward Feng became more energetic, maybe because of the alcohol, his voice became louder, "Where are the middlemen before and after, don't you need to deal with it? Do you think Lu Zhen Can you find the two elders with the first blow?"

"Also, if you enter Qianyuan Valley, it's over, don't you need to take care of it?"

"Ah? I've already entered Qianyuan Valley, what else do I need?"

"Donate money! Of course, it's called 'Zan Ku Fei' in Qianyuan Valley, so the magnificent and magnificent palace doesn't cost money? So many famous and respected teachers and masters teach you art, don't you need money?" Feng Butler said leisurely, "If you don't donate money, how can you have the opportunity to be sent by Qianyuangu to go to Beijia and travel to Mou country? If you don't donate money, how can you have the opportunity to train with generals and high officials? They are all from Qianyuangu's protection sect!"

"It costs so much money to go to Qianyuan Valley, not to mention entering the officialdom!" He carried a piece of pig's head, "There are so many handsome young men in Mou Country, why is Lu Qinglin so attractive to Miss Xia? Apart from being handsome, can that bearing, self-cultivation, and style of conversation look like those raised by ordinary little lords?"

"So that's how the proud son of heaven was trained?" Lu Qiuwei subconsciously glanced at He Lingchuan.The young master has achieved today's achievements, it seems that it is not a special expense, right?

He Lingchuan understood the look in his eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Yes, he didn't spend much money growing up all the way.

It is life-threatening.I narrowly escaped death several times, but if my luck was even slightly worse, I would be dead.

Lu Qinglin's "smooth progress" is the normal way for the children of the aristocratic family to make progress.

Safe and efficient, batch manufacturing.

"That's all. The Lu family can still afford it." After all, there is such a large territory left by our ancestors and the products are rich. "But in order to please the in-laws, the Lu family spends a lot of money."

"Not to mention anything else, the most beautiful garden in Qucheng is in Lu's house. It covers an area of ​​66 hectares. It was built six or seven years ago because Mrs. Xia said, 'There is really nothing interesting in Qucheng'." Steward Feng shook his cup, "Do you know how much it cost to build this garden? I read the account book, it's a total of 300 taels!"

"66..." Lu Qiuwei snapped his fingers, a little confused.

For He Lingchuan, it is much more intuitive, anyway, it is enough to cover the taxes of Hongya Road for more than ten years.

"Sixty-six million taels, just to get Mrs. Xia's satisfied smile."

"Not to mention, whether it's Xia's tribute or Mou's sending troops, they all find various ways to get the Lu's to pay. If you don't pay, you have to send people. The small countries around Mou are the same." Feng Steward shook his head, " Both of these are bottomless pits, do you understand?"

Lu Qiuwei nodded: "Wars do cost money."

No matter how rich Bailie is, its area is limited and its financial resources are limited.It can't stand it if people come to kill it twice every three days.

"So, outsiders see that Bailie seems to be thriving, and he is also on the high branches of Mou country; in fact, their belts are getting tighter and tighter."

Otherwise, the Lu family is just a small lord, why should Mou Guo support it?
"I heard that Ya country in the east is also very bad?"

"Ah, that's a bunch of hungry wolves, eating meat from Bailie's body every two days!" Butler Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Mou Guo always taught it a lesson in the past, borrowing the road from Bailie to march several times, Ya Guo I just hated Bailie, and made trouble with it if I had nothing to do."

There is a Bailie between Mou and Ya. If it wants to teach Ya a lesson, of course it has to use Bailie.

"Now that Mou Guo and Beijia are engaged, and there is no time to look around, Ya Guo took the opportunity to invade Bailie." Feng Guanshi asked Lu Qiuwei, "Ya Guo was the first to pick something at the end of last year, but Bailie ended up losing money. Heh, Do you know how much Bailie lost?"

Of course Lu Qiuwei shook his head.

"35 taels!" Feng Guanshi shook his head, "This is the result of Bailie's bargaining. Yaguo initially asked for 40 taels. In order to make up the money, Bailie sold two mines and a piece of land east of Blade's Edge Harbor .”

"It's convenient to ask for money like this, you can give it whenever you want."

Butler Feng talked about a lot of trivial matters about the Lu family, and I don't know if he added more details.He Lingchuan had already heard the information he wanted, so he let Lu Qiuwei and Butler Feng continue to argue, stood up and paid the money and left.
