Chapter 21 I'm Most Afraid of Fools at Home
Lu Qing began to go into seclusion, but the development of the family did not stagnate.
After his recovery, the changes he brought to the Lu family are being reflected bit by bit.
There are many difficulties in taming the Shuiling Horse Herd. As a first-class animal trainer, Lu Xueting faced many problems when taming these horses. He could only learn gradually while completing the taming.
And in this process, she also grew up very well.
As time goes by, she has become more and more proficient in this area. According to what she said, she may be confident in elevating her animal taming skills to the second level in a year.
In addition to the incident of the Shuiling Horses, the family has some major events.
Lu Mingsi was injured in Pingyao County, and after Lu Qing was in seclusion for two months, he had a result.
...
"Dad, I still can't understand why we are afraid of the Lu family?"
"The Zhao family has never been afraid of the Lu family." Zhao Pingsong said, "You did something wrong in this matter. If you can't figure out where you are wrong, don't go out!"
Zhao Qingan knew that his father was scolding him, but he was very dissatisfied: "I don't think what I did is wrong!"
"Who is Pingyao County now?"
"Of course it's our Zhao family."
"The reputation of Pingyao County and Fangcheng City has been destroyed, who has suffered the most losses?"
“…”
"Who gives you the courage to threaten the casual cultivator who wants to buy things in Pingyao County?"
"I threatened the Lu family..."
"Fart! You are threatening the buyer! Do you know who is the casual cultivator who wants to buy horses? Have you investigated the background of someone else? You are going to threaten the apprentice of Mu Yangcheng of Sishui?"
"...I don't know, it's those casual cultivators... What's more, who is Mu Yangcheng? Isn't he just a casual cultivator on the ninth level of foundation building? Why is our Zhao family afraid of him?"
"Shut up! Our Zhao family is not afraid of others. What we fear the most is that there are idiots in the family!"
Zhao Pingsong shook his hand, ignored his son and walked out.
He has many headaches now.
Zhao Pingsong is a monk at the ninth level of Qi training, the current county magistrate of Pingyao County, and the head of Zhao's family in Pingyao. He is dealing with all the matters of the Zhao family in Pingyao County.
Originally, the Zhao family always maintained a foundation-building monk in Pingyao. Later, although the relationship between the Zhao and Lu families was always very bad, due to the regulation of Qingfeng Sect, there was no longer a large-scale bloody conflict, and Pingyao County did not place another foundation-building monk.
The Zhao family has great business and needs manpower everywhere, and there are only so many high-level monks, so they must be placed in more important places.
This time, his son did a foolish thing, fell in love with a water spirit horse, and was reluctant to spend two hundred spirit stones to buy it. In addition, he found that the Lu family was from the opposite side, so he simply used evil methods and found a group of casual cultivators to cause trouble. In addition to taking advantage of it, he also wanted to take the opportunity to crack down on the Lu family's business in Pingyao County.
It’s not that I can’t do this, but what disappoints Zhao Pingsong the most is that his son did it too roughly.
The advantage was not taken, the Lu family's prestige was not hit, and the casual cultivator who was sent to do dirty work was arrested and the envoy behind Zhao Qing'an was also given a gift in the trial of the county office.
That's fine, and then, when there was bad news, the tough casual cultivator who wanted to buy a water spirit horse actually had a little background.
That man was Mu Yangcheng's beloved disciple.
Mu Yangcheng is a very famous casual cultivator in Sishui County. He has nine foundation building levels and is expected to break through the Qiming period. He is also considered a person in the entire Anling County. The Zhao family is not afraid of him. After all, it is not considered the Jindan ancestor Zhao Zidan. The Zhao family itself also has Qiming monks, and there are seven foundation building monks in the family.
But enemies should be resolved rather than made up. If you offend someone for no reason, you will be full.
But what can I do? The trouble caused by his son must be solved by him.
During this period, he was a little dirty in Pingyao County and even had to give up some of his interests and entered the hands of the Lu family.
It also cost him a sum of money to calm Mu Yangcheng's anger.
If he asked his family for help and took advantage of the Zhao family's power, there should be a better solution to this matter.
But he didn't do it, it was still for his son.
To further rely on the power of the family, we must report the whole matter more clearly. His son made such a stupid mistake, which damaged the reputation of Pingyao County and was captured, and these will inevitably be punished within the family.
He scolded his son for being fierce, but if he was punished seriously, he would be the first to be reluctant to let him go.
Therefore, he could only report the situation lightly, and in order to cover up these things, he would inevitably pay a greater price.
The Lu family has two more shops in the monk's house, and the positions of the county government have been quietly adjusted, and several positions with great wealth fell into the hands of the Lu family...
If Lu Qing is not in seclusion now, he can see more intuitive performance on the data from the system:
The Lu family's control over Pingyao County increased from 27% to 31%, and the spirit stones that can be harvested from Pingyao County each year increased from 284 to 339. It seems that fifty-five additional spirit stones are not much, but if the time is extended and it will accumulate slowly, it will be a lot of money.
The more money the Lu family earns is equivalent to the loss of the Zhao family.
Zhao Pingsong is also very troubled now. He always has to give an explanation to the fact that his family's money is less money every year.
Sitting in the county lobby, he was thinking about this matter.
Suddenly, someone walked in outside the door.
"Master, there is news."
"explain."
"The Lu family seems to be restarting the trade route to Luyi County."
"The monk leads the team?"
"There is a monk leading the team, but according to the information we have received, it should not be the case in the future. All of them let the mortals run the trade route themselves."
"They are not afraid of death and injury of ordinary people? Who will run away for them in the future?"
"They have wiped out all the big hole fox foxes on the business road to Luyi County. More than 20 fox demon skins have been placed in their Lu family's store to display."
Zhao Pingsong stood up in a flash, frowned, and said, "I want to talk to him when I ask Lu Chaojun."
"yes."
After the servant left, he paced in the lobby.
After hearing this news, his first reaction was to be bad.
After the group of big cave foxes migrated to the business road, the journey between Pingyao County and Luyi County was not peaceful. The connection between the two counties was not directly cut off because of this. However, after many casualties and injuries in the mortal caravan, no one took this road again. If there were caravans to communicate, monks needed to open the way.
What a noble status is a monk? Even a casual cultivator is not something that ordinary chambers of commerce can afford.
In this matter, the Zhao family, the Lu family, and the Han family in Luyi County all tried to clear the situation, but they all ended in failure.
Later, they agreed that whoever cleared out these foxes and opened up the normal mortal trade between the two counties would belong to whom the benefits would belong.
