I was a prince in ancient times

Lu Chengjiao's words pierced Lu Ge's heart like a knife. Lu Ge clenched his fist again and again, and an unknown fire accumulated in his heart.

But he had to admit that what Lu Chengji said made sense, their Lu family has become a bereaved dog now, so what if they are not reconciled.

"So what." Lu Ge stiffened his neck, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"Not much, just a little disappointed." Lu Chengjia replied calmly.

Lu Chengjiao's calm and calm look was more like his hands strangling Lu Ge's neck, making his chest tight and he couldn't breathe.

"No matter how unwilling it is, what can we do? We can't put our entire Lu family in it anymore." Lu Ge said sullenly with his bloodshot eyes.

Their Lu family is an extremely small tribe, how can it be compared with the grassland tribe that has become a towering tree.

They can wipe out their Lu family with a little finger.

Lu Chengjiao met his unwilling and helpless gaze, and sneered slightly, "Since you managed to get what I want, let's stop today's deal."

After a pause, he said softly, "I don't think your Lu family will survive much longer."

Hearing what he said earlier, Lu Ge felt a little relieved. Horses are not only important supplies on the grasslands, but also in several other countries. He also heard that the Yong Dynasty and Nanyue are about to go to war. At this time, they really want horses. If it can't be done, it would be great if you can escape the catastrophe.

But Lu Chengjie's next sentence directly stirred up the unknown anger in Lu Ge's heart, stared at him firmly, and said in a bad tone, "What do you mean?"

"Literally." Lu Chengjiao was completely unafraid of his hungry wolf-like eyes, and said sarcastically, "It is said that grassland people are warlike and brave, and they are not afraid or flinching. I think that's just the case."

"You..." Lu Ge's fists were clenched tightly. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few Lianjiazi behind Lu Chengke, he really wanted to punch him.

"Why," Lu Chengjie smiled softly, "I can't bear it after I just tell the truth, and there will only be more and more truths like me in the future."

Lu Ge's gaze became deeper, as if he was about to tear Lu Chengjiao apart in the next second.

Lu Chengjie smiled, "Brother Lu, don't look at me like that, after all, you just accepted that your Lu is willing to be mediocre, right?"

Lu Ge frowned and frowned slightly.

"A person who is really unwilling will not succumb to mediocrity. Even if he falls into the abyss, he will try his best to climb out instead of being forced to accept and wait for a dispensable opportunity." Holding his chest, "Opportunities are always won by ourselves. Instead of waiting in the dark, it is better to give it a go. Maybe there will be another world."

Lu Chengjiao's words were too profound, after Lu Ge listened to it, he pondered it over and over in his heart, and after a long time, he only understood half of it.

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Ge restrained the fierce light in his eyes, and asked him with a deep frown.

Lu Chengjiao straightened his expression, "It depends on how you choose, Lu family. If you Lu family thinks the current situation is not bad, just pretend that I haven't seen you today, and you have never entered Jianjia City. From now on, between me and you, we will only do some ordinary business."

"Ordinary business?" Lu Ge chewed on these words repeatedly, revealing some very unusual meanings from them, "You mean that our current business is all ordinary business, so there may be some unusual business ?”

"Of course," Lu Chengjia raised his eyebrows, "but these should have nothing to do with you, Lu family. After all, you can't even get a horse, so how can you do unusual business with me?"

Lu Ge took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, not to be overwhelmed by Lu Chengjiao's words.

"Tell me first, what kind of unusual business is there?" Lu Ge calmed down for a long time before he forcibly suppressed the flame that had rubbed his chest.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore," Lu Chengjiao spread his hands, "After all, you have all accepted the fact now, so why should I say something about it to tease you?"

After Lu Chengjie finished speaking, he shook his head and was about to leave with his guards.

Lu Ge stood there silent for a long time, until Lu Chengjie had already stepped out of this small courtyard, he took a deep breath, his bloodshot eyes were full of unwillingness, and said hoarsely, "If we choose to fight hard, Will you help us?"

When Lu Ge entered the city, he asked someone specifically to inquire about it. Lu Chengjiao's identity has long been changed. Now he is a big man who can rebuild Jianjia City with a single sentence.

If there is such a big person willing to help them, then their future road will naturally be smooth.

Lu Chengjie paused before leaving, turned around to look back at him, and slightly hooked his lips, "Of course, as long as you can get what I want, why should I refuse you?"

Lu Ge let out a foul breath, clenched his right hand and placed his fist on his chest, "Give me some time, and I'll give you an answer."

"One month, if you don't give me an answer within one month, there will be no next time." Lu Chengjiao nodded and gave him some time.

Lu Ge trembled, "It's a deal."

Lu Chengjiao responded calmly, "It's a deal."

Coming out of this remote small courtyard, Lu Chuyi's legs were a little weak, and he asked Lu Chengjia in a low voice, "Master, didn't you just buy some horses, why did you end up playing with such a big one?"

If he had known that the young master was going to discuss such a confidential matter with Lu Shi, he should have prepared a more secret place.

"I can't wait anymore." Lu Chengjiao licked the corner of his lips, his heart was inexplicably restless, his heart was like an arrow.

Originally, he shouldn't be so impatient about this matter, and he also planned to talk about it slowly with Lu Shi after Jianjia City was built.

But that's too long, three years?five years?

Thinking that he will be separated from Xie Anlan for such a long time, the heart in his chest becomes inexplicably irritable. It happens that this matter will be discussed sooner or later, so why not take this opportunity to speak up, if They, Lu Shi, didn't have this kind of thought, and they didn't dare to have this kind of thought, so they didn't want to waste his time.

"How dare you, Lu family? That's the Grassland Department." Lu Chuyi held his beating heart. He always thought that the young master just wanted to do business with Lu family to make some money. He never thought that the young master would actually I have such thoughts.

"People who are unwilling will naturally dare." Lu Chengjia recalled Lu Ge's extremely unwilling wolf eyes, and his lips could not help but curl up.

"Even if they dare, they shouldn't be able to overthrow the grassland department in a short period of time." Lu Chuyi thought for a while, the Lu family is just a small tribe that can't be smaller, and wants to fight against the powerful grassland department How can it be.

Lu Chengjie shook his head and said in disapproval, "Did you forget that the grassland tribe was also a small tribe? It only took ten short years from their rise to confrontation with our Yong Dynasty. It’s not just the Grassland Department’s family.”

Lu Chuyi frowned deeply, "The young master means to let the Lu family join other tribes on the grassland."

Lu Chengjie smiled, "It doesn't have to be refuge, it's okay to annex."

Lu Chuyi was in a daze. He felt that the water inside was too deep and muddy for him to figure out. In the end, he could only conclude, "In short, if Lu Shi has the heart, after a month, the horse the young master wants is Their determination to surrender."

Lu Chengjie said "um" and stopped talking.

After Lu Ge went back, he told the patriarch of the Lu clan exactly what Lu Chengjia had said.

A gleam flashed in the cloudy eyes of the patriarch of the Lu clan.

As early as that day when he was driven out of the tent of the Grassland Department by Meng Hewei in the middle of the night, he knew that it was unreliable to rely on others, and he still had to rely on himself.

But their Lu family is really too small, even though they have been growing continuously in the past ten years, they are still insignificant compared with the grassland department.

Especially after the Grassland Department copied their Lu family, the Lu family's hearts were scattered, and many people were scattered. Now they have to endure dormancy, hoping to rise again.

Lu Chengjiao said it well, opportunities are always won by oneself, and it is never safe for others to give them.

Just like when he joined the Grassland Department more than ten years ago, if he made a mistake, the family business of more than ten years would be gone.

Only when you are strong can you guarantee your family business and grow your tribe.

"Prepare your horse, follow me to the depths of the grassland." The patriarch of the Lu clan covered his lips with his old hand, coughed softly, and said with difficulty to Lu Ge in front of him.

Lu Ge was shocked, "Father, do you really want to..."

"Otherwise," the patriarch of the Lu clan stared at him, "would you rather spend your whole life hiding in hiding, so that the Lu clan can't hold up your head in front of the grassland people?"

"Of course my son is not reconciled." Lu Ge gritted his teeth, "In the past ten years or so, we helped the Grassland Ministry with no credit or hard work. They copied us when they said they would copy us."

The patriarch of the Lu clan sighed deeply, and there was not much resentment in his eyes, "This is the sorrow of being a businessman. A businessman has no power and no power. No one will think highly of us except for refuge and support. They will only treat us like dogs. When we have money, we are their watchdogs. When we have no money, we will be killed and eaten. We have to stand up on our own. As long as we have power in our hands, no one will look down on us.”

After finishing speaking, the elders of the Lu clan held their handcuffs and coughed even harder.

"Don't think that the Grasslands are extremely powerful." The patriarch of the Lu clan coughed and rolled his eyes at Lu Ge, "They used to be just a small tribe, so small that they were not as big as our Lu clan. They can rise up, why is our Lu clan Can't rise again."

"Don't think that they are too powerful. The former Yong Dynasty was not strong enough. Didn't it mean that if it falls, it will fall. It can be seen that nothing in this world is static." The more the clan chief said, the brighter his eyes became, "No Go try it and see if it doesn’t work.”

"My son knows." Lu Ge stabilized his slightly trembling hands and tried to calm down.

A month later, Lu Ge really bought a thousand horses for Lu Chengjia, but he couldn't trade them in Jianjia City, it was too conspicuous.

They crossed the entire grassland, trading from the border between the grassland department and Snow Country.

When Lu Chengjie received the horse, it was already three months later.

"Master, they are really capable." Lu Chuyi went to see those horses, except for a few that died of illness on the way, all of them were good horses, and it would be a pity not to use them for war.

Lu Chengjiao said calmly, "Let someone send it to the prince. I don't know what's going on in Nanyue."

Lu Chuyi smiled and said, "Unfortunately, the news just came this morning. A month ago, Nanyue and our court officially fought a battle. Guess what, young master."

When Lu Chengjiao saw him smiling happily, he knew it in his heart.

"Southern University was defeated." Lu Chuyi was beaming with joy, "I thought they had a lot of power, and they fought us with great arrogance, but in the first battle, they lost a mess without getting through a month."

Lu Chengjie thought for a while and asked, "Is it because of the gunpowder?"

"No, this time the war with South Vietnam is useless at all. The terrain is too narrow, and the gunpowder cannot be used, so it is useless."

What Lu Chuyi said made Lu Chengjia curious, "How did you win?"

"The prince won by throwing money at it." Lu Chuyi said with a smile, "Our prince made a bold statement before the war. An ordinary South Vietnamese soldier's head is one tael of silver, a small general is ten taels, an officer is 50 taels, and then the head is 100 taels. For [-] taels, the soldiers have never seen so much money, their morale is soaring, and they are like a tiger with wings on the battlefield, but they can't beat the shit out of Nanyue."

Lu Chuyi couldn't help laughing when he said that, "It's true that money can make ghosts go round."

Lu Chengjie shook his head and laughed, not thinking that this battle was won by spending money.

In fact, it is true that money is not used to win the battle. Money can mobilize the morale of the army, but money is important. If it is a war that must be lost, no matter how much money is spent, he will not be able to win the battle.

Nanyue was defeated because of their arrogance. After Yong Dynasty fell into disrepair, Nanyue should be the most powerful country among several countries. They have gold mines, no shortage of money, and they are not on par with Yong Dynasty in terms of military reserves. up and down.

However, they didn't want to make progress, thinking that the Yong Dynasty had been fighting against the Grassland Ministry for many years, and their national power was weak. If they didn't have the advantage of gunpowder, they would not be defeated.

So they chose a relatively narrow place to start the battle. When the soldiers of the two sides fought here, the army of the Yong Dynasty would be useless.

But today's Yong Dynasty is different from the Yong Dynasty in the past few years. The soldiers have changed their weapons and armor, while the Nanyue Kingdom still uses old weapons. Killing a soldier on the battlefield requires the strength of the boss to hack to death one.

If you cut two more, you will be exhausted, and you will lose your strength on the battlefield, and the two sides are so close, and in the end there is nothing left to be slaughtered.

In addition, in order to boost morale before the start of the war, Yong Chao took out a large amount of silver as a reward, and the soldiers went to the battlefield, each and every one of them seemed to have been beaten, and Nanyue was naturally defeated.

What broke the hearts of the South Vietnamese soldiers the most was that the money Xie Anlan used to reward the soldiers of the Yong Dynasty was their South Vietnamese money.

Spending money to buy his own head, this battle is really aggrieved, it's no wonder he wins.

The soldiers on the side of the Yong Dynasty had never fought so heartily. Those who took the enemy's money to fight the enemy's morale rose again and again, and finally Nanyue had to end in a mess.

After a battle, the time has entered the autumn harvest, and all the people in Lingnan have a harvest smile on their faces.

This year, the weather is good and there are neither floods nor flash floods. The crops in the field are growing well, not to mention a good year, and the lemon trees they planted a few years ago also bear a lot of fruit.

Don't worry about whether the fruit is sweet or not, as long as it bears fruit, it can be sold, and one tree can earn at least one hundred and eighty Wenwen, and two more trees can tear a piece of cloth for a child in the family to make a new dress.

New clothes, in the eyes of the Lingnan people in the past, were things that were beyond reach.

Years of mountain torrents have left them without enough food and clothing. How can they have the money to make clothes? Now they can look forward to the future and imagine things that they never dared to think about before.

Everyone is happy from ear to ear.

While they were happy, Chen Hui was also very happy. Under his careful care, the chili seeds brought back from Prince Chen's Mansion grew very well. Like a fire of hope, it illuminates the future of Lingnan people.

After constantly eating chili, Chen Hui finally understood why he liked eating chili so much, because this chili can relieve the dampness in their bodies caused by miasma.

The spiciness is a bit spicy, but the spiciness is comfortable, and this spiciness is nothing.

And Chen Hui also learned a lot of ways to use chili to cook in Chenwang Mansion. He opened a spicy restaurant in Lingnan. At first, the business was not good because his wife was too choking, but when someone with a strong curiosity tried it, he was shocked. , The spicy restaurant became popular unknowingly.

Even the chili pepper has attracted many foreigners to order.

In addition to Lingnan, there are many places that like chili, such as the cold northwest.

They feel that with this thing, they can cook with chili peppers in winter, and they will not be afraid of the cold throughout the winter after eating a bite.

In this way, peppers became popular in Lingnan, and the people in Lingnan planted them one after another, and the days became more and more prosperous like the red peppers.

With the horses sent by Lu Chengjie, Xie Anlan immediately put these horses into the carriage and horse dealership. Yongchao has been building roads extensively in the past two years, and road sections in many places have been repaired. With horses, his horses can travel naturally It will work.

Just like the lemons harvested in Lingnan this time, they were transported by Xie Anlan's horse. Originally, it took less than half a month to get from Lingnan to the imperial capital. This was still when there was no rain on the road, but with cement roads and Xie Anlan's fast horse actually arrived in the imperial capital in only seven days, and many lemon leaves were still green.

This trip alone has made many businessmen see the value of the horse shop. Usually, when they transport goods to distant places, they have to rent a car to escort them, and they have to prevent the loss of goods on the way. I was so exhausted that when horses were in short supply, I couldn't rent them even if I wanted to.

With the prince’s horse shop, these problems are no longer a problem. They only need to spend a small amount of money to deliver their goods safely. Even if there is any accident on the way, the horse shop will pay according to the price. Not much better than doing it yourself.

Some people even saw that the speed of the horse shop was faster than that of the post station, so they tried to deliver letters to the horse shop, and it worked.

After discovering that Ma Xing could deliver anything, the shares of Ma Xing rose again and again. Xie Anlan initially set the price at 1000 taels, but now its market price has directly doubled to 5000 taels.

That is to say, those who used to collect donations to build roads don't need to do anything. When they are short of money, they only need to sell their shares on hand, and the price can be increased by five times.

There is nothing easier to buy **, and the stock price continues to rise, and some people predict that it may rise to the top of [-] taels.

Many people who did not raise donations for road repairs beat their chests and regretted it.

The lemons were not idle when they were transported back to the imperial capital. They were sliced ​​and dried, and sent to Lu Chengjia in batches for sale to the prairie people.

People in the prairie are short of supplies, and the supplies in the deep grassland are even more scarce. Lu's wants to annex some small tribes in the deep grassland to expand his tribe, and he needs a lot of supplies.

Fortunately, Lu Chengjia was willing to help them, not letting them buy with real money, but bartering.

Cattle, sheep, horses, cowhide, sheepskin, wool, milk, mare's milk, and even bitter grass on their grasslands can be used to pay for money.

Except for horses, the rest of these things are worthless in their grasslands. To exchange a bunch of worthless things for a bunch of valuable and useful things, for Lu Shi, there is nothing to buy. This is more cost-effective.

Spring has passed and autumn has come, and it has been another two years. The new Jianjia City has begun to take shape at this time. Lu Chuyi stood at the gate of the city, looking at the wool that was continuously transported from the grassland, feeling a little worried, "Master, they also Knowing that wool is the least valuable, he kept giving it to us.”

"It's okay, you can make more money by making wool into sweaters and selling them to Xueguo." Lu Chengjiao sat by the side, calculating.

"That's right." Lu Chuyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "They thought they sent us the least valuable thing, but in fact they sent us the most valuable thing."

"Obviously they are not far from Snow Country, but they can't make money from Snow Country. Oh, it's a big loss." Lu Chuyi said to himself while calculating the accounts.

Lu Chengjie touched his eyebrows with his palms, and smiled softly, "Finish the calculation quickly, so that we can prepare enough goods for the Lu family. I heard that they have already made an appointment with a tribe deep in the grasslands to launch a fringe attack on the grasslands in the spring of next year." attack."

"It's going to be a fight so soon." Lu Chuyi's abacus beads were wrong, and he was shocked.

"It's not that they are fighting with the grassland department, but a tribe deep in the grassland is fighting with the grassland department." Lu Chengjiao didn't change his face.

"Do you still remember Meng Heyou from earlier, she was sent by her brother to marry in the depths of the grassland, the purpose is self-evident, the grassland department wants to annex the tribes in the grasslands, how can the tribes in the grasslands agree, Lu is pouring mixed water in it."

"Oh," Lu Chuyi understood now, "This is the snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's profit as mentioned in the book."

Lu Chengjiao nodded, "So you have to hurry up and don't waste time, so that they can fight this battle better."

"Candy, dried lemons, barbecue ingredients, this grassland needs everything." Lu Chuyi muttered about some trivial things as he settled the accounts.

Lu Chengjie smiled when he heard his muttering.

It's the fourth year, and he hasn't seen Xie Anlan for four years. I really hope that this battle between the grassland department and the deep grassland will hurt both sides, so that he can return to the imperial capital sooner.

Xie Anlan looked at the budding plum tree planted in the courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and asked Gao De beside him, "How many years has it been?"

"It's been four years, and it's been five years since it opened." Gao De was already familiar with Xie Anlan's way of questioning, and he would answer with confidence.

"It's been four years, has Nanyue been defeated yet?" Xie Anlan was stunned for a moment, then asked suddenly.

"It should be these few days." Gothe calculated the time, and it should be almost the same.

For four years, South Vietnam refused to surrender, so the Yong Dynasty had no choice but to use the South Vietnam border to fight all the way to the capital of South Vietnam, and the journey went smoothly. If it wasn't for the fact that the Yong Dynasty was weaker because of the war with the Grassland Ministry in the early years, it could only cultivate while fighting. Otherwise, it would have been two years earlier that they would have reached the capital of South Vietnam in one go.

Sure enough, within a few days, the news that Nanyue was defeated was sent back to the imperial capital, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

Xie Anlan was not happy, Lu Chengjiao had been away for four years, and Chenwang's mansion had been quiet for four years.

The children of the other elder brothers know how to make soy sauce, and they surround his buttocks all day begging for sweets.

"Finally it's all over." Xie Anlan went through everything in the study, and after finding nothing missing, she stretched.

Going out, the plum blossoms in the courtyard of the Wangfu are about to bloom, but unfortunately there is one less person to watch with him.

Xie Anlan looked at the plum tree, squinted her eyes in displeasure, and ordered behind her, "Come here and give me this tree."

"Ah?" Everyone in the palace was shocked, they all knew that this was the most precious tree of the prince, and no one dared to move it for a while.

"Be careful, don't drop all the buds." Xie Anlan ordered again softly.

The author has something to say: Tomorrow is Tanabata, we can meet again (hey hey hey hey hey hey hey I want to cough cough cough cough)
