God Catch starts with adding points

Lu Bai smiled and nodded, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

Shen Shixing regained his energy and quickly stood up, "Since Lord Lu is now, it is better to hit the sun instead of choosing the day..."

He pulled Shen Yan and Shen Xi who were next to him, "Master Lu, look at my two sons. If you think you can see it, I will be cheeky. Please take them into the mountain gate and let them worship you as their teacher." , serve with you, what do you think?"

Lu Bai didn't speak.

Master Shen got Lu Bai's acquiescence, and asked Shen Yan and Shen Xi to kneel down. Although Shen Xi was reluctant, he and his brother kowtowed respectfully to Lu Bai a few times in the end. Let them stand up and serve tea to Lu Bai.

Lu Bai took the drink, and then said: "It's fine for the two of you to enter my Haoqi sect, but I have to put the ugly words to the fore. When I was in Yancheng, I had already accepted many disciples. I never asked Parents, regardless of gender, do not bully the weak, do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, there are many rules that are different from other sects that need to be followed, and anyone who makes a mistake must be punished, do you agree?"

The two nodded.

"That's good." Lu Bai greeted them to take their seats.

The two hurriedly said, "It's enough for us to stand and serve Master."

Lu Bai waved his hand, "Our first rule is not to talk about these red tapes. If you want to be kicked out of the mountain gate by me, you can stand."

Hearing this, the two quickly sat down.

Lu Bai then asked again: "Master Shen, what's going on with this Shi family? Why did Jianzhai choose his family overnight?"

Master Shen was a little embarrassed.

Lu Bai signaled that it was okay, and asked him to speak straight.

Then Shen Shixing sighed and said: "Jianzhai chooses between Shen's family and Shi's family, mainly for money."

Of course, the Shen family has a supportive faction in Jianzhai; the Shi family also has a supportive faction in Jianzhai.

Just like Lu Bai did, the faction supported by the Shen family was close to the Lu family and supported King Kang. They had benefited a lot from the Lu family when they served as the Jianzhai secular sect in the Lu family.

There is also a faction that hates Yiqiu Villa.

They were annoyed at the sudden betrayal of the Lu family. Moreover, Yiqiu Shanzhuang learned swords, and Jianzhai also established a sect with swords. Naturally, the two will be compared.

Because of the Sword Immortal, Yiqiu Villa faintly overwhelmed Jianzhai, and Jianzhai naturally didn't like it even more.

There are many people in this faction who support the Shi family, but they don't support King Luo sincerely. They only support King Luo because the crown prince is elected between King Kang and King Luo.

"There are a lot of people who are hostile to Yiqiu Villa in Jianzhai, so our support is not dominant." Shen Shixing hastily said that who they support now depends on Lord Lu Hou.

Lu Bai said it was okay and motioned him to continue.

"Originally, our Shen family did not have the upper hand, but because of your movement in Ankang City, Lord Lu, the Shi family's vitality was seriously injured, and they couldn't pay much money for a while, so the Shen family gained the upper hand in the competition."

Shen Shixing continued to shake his head, they originally thought it was a hope, and also thought they had a great chance.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the Shi family paid a lot of silver as a tribute to Jianzhai, overwhelming their Shen family at once, so the Shen family was defeated, and the Shi family will hold a famous sword competition in Xuancheng today.

"Silver?" Lu Bai tapped his fingers on the table, muttering inwardly.

Shen Shixing knew that he was treating Lu Bai as a backup, so he hurriedly skipped this topic, offered a glass of wine to Lu Bai and asked, "Lord Lu, the Shen family will look after you from now on, you let us go east, we will definitely not west."

As for the money, the Shen family naturally has to be filial.

"As for our cooperation, let my aunt talk about it." Lu Bai asked Shen Shixing to sit down, "There are two things, maybe I need your help."

Chapter 417 Sword Slave

Shen Shixing is now afraid that Lu Bai will not let him do things.

Now that he heard that Lu Bai was busy asking him to help, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's okay to say."

This is a good opportunity for the Shen family to make contributions.

"The emperor asked me to recommend candidates for the city lords of Yongle City, Yancheng City and Ankang City. I don't have any suitable talents around me. How about your place? Especially for Yongle City, we must choose the most reliable and capable talents, especially those who are good at business. .” Lu Bai said.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the crowd and saw that they were stunned.

Three cities!

The original backer of the Shen family was the tea house, which was not included in the Eight Great Sects, so their influence was weak. With the support of the tea house, they worked hard for many years, and only then did they roughly firmly occupy the basic base of Kuaiji County.

Even so, the current Kuaiji County is not the same as the Shen family.

The influence of the Gu family still radiated to Kuaiji County.

With the support of the tea house, the development of their Shen family has come to an end.

But Master Shen's work did not end there.

He wanted to build the Shen family into one of the four great families.

This is also the reason why the Shen family turned their backs on the tea house and chose Jianzhai, and now Lu Bai.

After learning that Jianzhai had chosen the Shi family this morning, the Shen family collapsed, and some even cried.Since they embarked on the road of changing their family, they have embarked on a road of no return. Now that the road is broken, the Shen family has lost their backing all of a sudden, and they will be bullied by others in the future.

However, just when they were at a loss and felt their future was bleak, news came that Lu Bai summoned the gods and killed the ancestor Wei Eunuch of Neishutang with alcohol.

Shen Shixing immediately found the direction as if he had seen the sun through the clouds.

However, in the process of attachment, Shen Shixing was still very anxious, because Lu Bai is still an official in the court, and he is a person with a complicated and somewhat mysterious background. If he is not careful, he may lose everything.

Because Lu Bai was the governor, they even felt that Lu Bai did little help to their Shen family in a short time.

However, now that Lu Bai opened his mouth, he was talking about the three cities, completely suppressing everyone in the Shen family.

These three cities are not ordinary three cities.

Yancheng is Lu Bai's base camp, needless to say, we must arrange for an obedient person to go there; Yongle City produces salt, and it is a border city, so there is a lot of oil and water to be fished in; As for Ankang City, this is the fortune of the Shi family The Shi family has been operating the land for many years. Last year, in order to win the favor of Jianzhai, the head of the Shi family asked his most talented son, Mr. Shi Qi, to sit in the town to collect money. Unfortunately, he met Lu Bai, and then died. Give Lu Bai the title of an executioner.

The most important thing is that these three cities are all on the western border, taking these three cities, the power of the Shen family will be even more powerful.

Of course, if you want to completely control these two cities, you will inevitably offend others.

The Lu family has always been the city lord of Yongle City; the Shi family is the master of Ankang City. If the Shen family takes over these two cities, they will inevitably offend them and uproot their power.

But Shen Shixing thought about it again, and felt that if the Shen family wanted to grow and become one of the four great families in the future, they had to make sacrifices.

What's more, for taking refuge in Lu Bai, the two forces have no choice but to offend them.

After careful consideration, he nodded and said, "Master Hou, to tell you the truth, what our Shen family lacks is such talents."

Lu Bai took a sip of his wine, "That's good, you hand over the list of candidates to my aunt later."

Shen Shixing immediately understood that Gu Qinghuan was the one behind Lu Bai who made up his mind.

Lu Bai is only responsible for practicing and messing around in the officialdom.

The two have a clear division of labor.

Then, Lu Bai said: "There is one more thing that may require you to spend some effort and money."

With the reassurance of the three cities just now, Shen Shixing told Lu Bai that it's okay, "Serving Lord Hou is what we should do."

Lu Bai pointed to the north, "The emperor has a royal garden in the north of the capital and south of the Ningjiang River, and now he has given it to me. I plan to build that garden as the mountain gate of my Haoqi Gate, and I have to trouble you."

Shen Shixing asked suspiciously, "It was built near the capital?"

"That's right, why, what's wrong?" Lu Bai asked him.

Shen Shixing thought it would be too lively.

Cultivation pays attention to cleanliness, especially in the later stage, because it is difficult to raise one level, so it requires a lot of energy. Naturally, the less things that involve energy, the less the better.

The capital is prosperous.

Since the mountain gate is built in the capital, the disciples will inevitably have their hearts flutter, and naturally they will not have the heart to cultivate.

"If a practitioner can't stand the temptation, what's the point of practicing?" Lu Bai said.

He also doesn't intend to build a real sect.

Lu Bai's preliminary plan was to build Haoqi Academy in each city, and then select outstanding people to enter the Haoqi Gate in the capital, and then select outstanding talents from the Haoqi Gate to enter the Haoqi City in Yancheng—that is, Zhonggu.

The three-stage selection was inspired by Lu Bai's experience of going to school in his previous life.

Haoqi Academy focuses on recruiting all kinds of talents.

Lu Bai now has operas to practice, qin music to practice, poetry to practice, and methods of practice such as medicine, wine and songs, etc., which can completely recruit talents. The talents of these disciples determine what Taoism and exercises they practice.

If the academy is to discover the talents of the people in the world, the Jingcheng Haoqimen will give in-depth guidance to these disciples' practice, let them enter the realm of practice, and finally go to the isolated place in Haoqi City to concentrate on cultivation.

In this way, Lu Bai felt that even if it could not set off a frenzy of practice among the whole people, it could at least break the status quo that only rich children could practice, and let ordinary people practice too.

Of course, these are not enough to be humane to outsiders.

Lu Bai just told Shen Shixing not to worry, and just obeyed.

Shen Shixing agreed, and then persuaded Lu Bai to drink, and after another meal, Lu Bai missed Gu Qinghuan in his heart, and then the banquet ended, and Shen Yan and Shen Xi drove Lu Bai home in a carriage.

When Lu Bai returned to the house, Yun Niang came up and told Lu Bai that Gu Qinghuan had woken up.

Lu Bai hurriedly handed the coat to Yunniang, "How is she?"

"Very good. She looks much younger and more energetic. Madam is now practicing calligraphy in the study." Yun Niang said.

Lu Bai went to the study in three steps and took two steps at a time. He saw that Gu Qinghuan was indeed practicing calligraphy, but he didn't know that he was practicing calligraphy on paper. Instead, he drew in the air with his index finger out of thin air, and then dragged out a fluorescent long tail as if he was manipulating it on the panel.

After the characters were written, the characters appeared out of thin air, and around the characters, there were also intertwined orchid patterns one after another.

Then, Gu Qinghuan counted the words with his hands and pushed them out.

In an instant, clumps of orchids bloomed in the study, which seemed real but not real, like a dream, decorating the entire study.

"This is?" Lu Bai was shocked.

After Gu Qinghuan entered the cultivation realm, Lu Bai was still wondering what Gu Qinghuan was cultivating, but now he looks pretty good.

"One piece of calligraphy." Gu Qinghuan said.

This wine is worthy of being immortal wine. It not only tempers the body, but also exercises the spirit and enlightens the mind. After Lu Qinghuan fell into a deep sleep, he had a lot of understanding of calligraphy, so that he entered the breakthrough of the way of calligraphy overnight. territory.

Her current state has reached the highest state that the children of the Gu family have practiced in these years.

This may be the benefit of having a background.

Gu Qinghuan now knew why Yiqiu Villa rose rapidly after the sword fairy ascended, and the members of the Gu family didn't dare to raise their brows.

"Are there any other changes in your body? Something uncomfortable." Seeing that Lu Bai had stepped into the Skybreaker Realm, Lu Bai was very happy. Although he didn't want Gu Qinghuan to fight, but practice is good anyway, at least he can live longer. However, he still asked with concern, after all, Gu Qinghuan's breakthrough in cultivation was not on a normal path.

"Fortunately, nothing has changed." Lu Qinghuan lowered his head and glanced around.

When Lu Bai broke through, she was still nourished, and she became younger again. Now, her body changes are not bad, but she feels that she has strength and spirit, and her whole body is full of vitality.

After a quarter of an hour, the orchids in the house turned into butterflies and slowly dissipated.

In the middle of this, Lu Bai drank tea with Gu Qinghuan and talked about the emperor's reward.

"Marquis of Shuobei? All the fiefdoms in Shuobei City have been handed over to you?" Gu Qinghuan frowned and pondered.

She had to admit that the emperor was smarter than the emperor when it came to giving money.

The Supreme Emperor directly gave the tax revenue to Yiqiu Villa, while the Emperor gave Lu Bai the way to earn money, and let Lu Bai take care of it himself.

Of the two, the former seems to be better, but Gu Qinghuan has stayed in Yancheng, and knows that the former has made Yancheng dissatisfied from officials to civilians.

As for the latter method, it sounds troublesome, and giving money is not straightforward, but Gu Qinghuan thinks it is good for both parties.

The Southern Dynasties closed border trade and prohibited the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Man from doing business.

"He handed over this fief to us to tell us that we can start a small border trade in the border town. As long as we don't do too much and don't use a large amount of iron and grain to the enemy, he will turn a blind eye. It's gone." Gu Qinghuan said.

"Really?" Lu Bai was surprised.

He didn't take into account that the imperial court once closed the border trade because of the northern barbarian raids on the border town, but it has not been opened yet.

However, the border trade has not been opened, but the needs of both parties exist.

The Southern Dynasties needed livestock, horses, and furs from the Northern Man, and the Northern Man needed silk, grain, salt and iron from the Southern Dynasty.

If Lu Bai does this, he will indeed get a lot of money.

The key point is that the emperor will not lose too much money.

"I'm afraid the emperor has long intended to start border trade." Gu Qinghuan said.

Only a few years ago, when the northern barbarians harassed the border town, the emperor uttered harsh words in a fit of anger, saying that the border trade would be permanently closed. Since then, no one has proposed to open the border trade.

Now that Lu Bai made an opening, it didn't make the emperor lose his word, but also brought money, which is not bad.

Lu Bai didn't expect this.
