He Lingchuan estimated that now even if he leaves for a few months, the islands will be able to operate on their own.
Following local tradition, the Yangshan Islands also hold a Spring Flower Festival to celebrate the harvest and pray for good luck throughout the year.
This kind of festival day is chosen after the grain has been collected and stored in the warehouse, and everyone will parade through the streets to watch performances, go to the market, eat, dance with campfires, or wear masks and sing and dance from night to morning.
In this way, by the end of the year, there will usually be an extra batch of newborns.
According to local practice, the Yangshan Islands also invite dignitaries, gentry and wealthy businessmen with close contacts to participate in the Spring Flower Festival.
That night, the giant bonfire on Black Page Island lit up for half a day, lighting up everyone's smiling faces.
Fine wines and delicacies are usually served on the table at a reasonable price, and there is a lot of people drinking and drinking.
He Lingchuan had already paid his respects to the merchants and returned to his seat, shaking his neck and patting his face.
I am so tired from socializing that my face is frozen from laughter.
Lingguang quickly handed him a small blue pill: "Take it quickly, it's a hangover cure!"
"Are you sure?" He Lingchuan smelled a strange smell from the elixir and suddenly became suspicious, "You gave me the wrong medicine last time and made Qiu Hu dilute it all night."
"That's right, he practiced too hard during that time and it's time to purge the poison."
"...You really don't know how to deal with the world." That night, Qiu Hu was supposed to spend time with the beautiful lady, but...
Anyway, in the next few days, Renee had a long face, and even he, the boss, could see it.
"Eat, you've already drank three jars of wine, and I'm afraid you'll jump into the sea to catch the moon later." Ling Guang gave him a roll of his eyes, "Do you still remember what it was like to be drunk last time?"
"What?"
"You squatted on the beach of Centipede Island, scraped the sand with your bare hands, dug clams all night, and said you wanted to fry two dishes for Master Sun!" Ling Guang asked him, "Who is Master Sun?"
He Lingchuan laughed: "Is there such a thing?"
"No?" Lingguang has a good memory, "Where did those two big buckets of clams come from?"
At this time, someone approached. He Lingchuan stuffed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing.
Taking a closer look, it was Lu Zhen, the sixth eldest son of the Lu family, who came to propose a toast first.
"Congratulations, brother, congratulations on the great spring harvest!" Lu Zhenxian's face was a little round, but he had the air of a businessman.
He is also in the grain business. Yangshan Islands originally purchased grain from him, but from now on they have to sell grain out, so there is inevitably some competition with him. However, Lu Zhensheng quickly changed his mind. After all, he was behind Mou Guo's rear.
, Food is hard currency, it is nothing more than a matter of time and price.
He Lingchuan toasted in reply: "I heard that Mr. Lu Liu's business has been booming recently. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
The business of Lu Lao San and Lu Lao Liu's family was originally just average. After all, the best resources were taken by the masters. However, He Lingchuan wanted to make good friends with them, and Yangshan Islands purchased a large amount of goods from these two families, with large quantities and good prices.
The leather goods and clothes mainly sold by the Lu Lao San family, and the ceramics, lacquerware, and medicinal materials mainly sold by the Lu Lao Liu family have all opened up sales in the Yangshan Islands.
The Yangshan Islands now have a permanent population of 70,000, and more people are constantly adding. The newly arrived civilians have a strong demand for household goods.
In other words, Yangshan Islands is the biggest customer of Lusan and Luliu.
These two cousins were doing business with the Yangshan Islands. Of course, Lu Zhensheng was very unhappy and tried to cut off their money several times. There was a struggle in the Lu family, and He Lingchuan also heard about it.
Anyway, in the end, both sides took a step back. Lu Zhenxian turned a blind eye to their business with the Yangshan Islands, while Lu San and Luliu had to hand over part of their profits because they used family resources.
When He Lingchuan heard the news, he knew that the estrangement and contradiction between the Lu family brothers had been deepened by his money offensive.
Now he is Lu Laoliu's God of Wealth. Lu Laoliu's attitude was particularly enthusiastic. He took a brocade box from the guard and handed it to him with both hands: "A small gift is not a sign of respect."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" He Lingchuan said this, but he was not polite and opened the lid of the box.
Lying in the box is a golden bowl with a peacock embossed on the bowl, and its top and tail feathers are inlaid with crushed rubies.
Completely red gold, completely gorgeous, still dazzling under the firelight.
"Golden rice bowl?" Lu Laoliu is also a gift giver, and this gift is very pleasing.
Lu Laoliu smiled and said: "With a golden rice bowl in hand, I won't have to worry about anything."
Everyone said hello one after another.
At this time, a young man and woman crowded behind Lu Laoliu. They stared at him for a while and finally said in surprise:
"He Xiao!"
He Lingchuan stood with his back to the bonfire. His face was as dark as the fire, and others could not see carefully. The young man changed his angles twice and finally saw him clearly.
"Lu Qingbang!" He Lingchuan's eyes lit up, he strode forward, grabbed his shoulders first, and shook him hard a few times, "Long time no see!"
This young man is naturally Lu Qingbang, the son of Lu Laoliu. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong body. Only his chin resembles his father.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Lu Laoliu rubbed his hands and said happily: "Do you really recognize him?"
"I really recognize you." Lu Qingbang nodded repeatedly, "We had drinks and went on a boat trip in Lingxu City last year. I didn't expect that I would be able to see Brother He when I returned to my hometown thousands of miles away!"
At that time, He Xiao became famous in Lingxu City through the case of the elixir of life, and he was like a star holding the moon when he walked among the people. Lu Qingbang was one of the "stars". He was from a remote place and his speech was not outstanding. He Lingchuan and he were not very popular.
We have many intersections, but I just remember that there is indeed such a person.
Unexpectedly, this person was actually a relative of the original person.
Lu Liulao smiled at He Lingchuan and said: "Quan Zi just came back from the front line, and he must follow the island to see you."
Lu Qingbang said seriously: "Brother He did great things in Lingxu City. Of course I want to come and pay a visit to such a person!"
During his study tour in Bejia, he was just a spectator. However, He Lingchuan got involved in the deepest political struggle in Lingxu City. It was like sailing in turbulent waves, and he would be shattered into pieces if he wasn't careful.
But He Xiao was able to escape completely and is still standing here.
This alone is amazing.
The soul-capturing mirror in He Lingchuan's arms chuckled: "When he said that, I thought your deeds of burning down the Star Tower were revealed."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The guests nearby were curious and asked: "Tell us about it?"
"Wait a minute!" Lu Qingbang quickly introduced the girl next to him to He Lingchuan, "This is my sister, Lu Feiyan."
Lu Feiyan was only half a head shorter than her brother, and her body was strong and far superior to that of an ordinary girl. When He Lingchuan saw the muscles in her arms, he felt that she could punch the rich second generation in the city to tears.
This is a female man who can carry a gun on a horse and kill people on the ground.
Her round face was flushed, and she looked at He Lingchuan with curiosity: "Hello. My brother praises you to the heavens. Whenever he mentions you, he gets as excited as a monkey. When can we try the two moves?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, girl!" Lu Laoliu was startled, fearing that his reckless daughter would break his God of Wealth, "If you want to fight, go to your brother!"
Lu Feiyan curled his lips: "Brother said that he can defeat the deputy commander of Lingxu City Tongxin Guard, so he must have two brushes. Can't I ask for advice?"
Lu Laoliu didn't know what kind of team the "Tongxin Guards" were, but the prefix of Lingxu City seemed to be very cool.
So this Brother He is not only smart, smart, generous and generous, but also has incredible cultivation?
No mistake, okay, no mistake!
"No problem, we will come to Xiaosu Island in a few days. Our escort team will organize a drill." He Lingchuan said to Lu Feiyan, "Bring more clothes, the water mist is thick there."
Lu Feiyan said happily: "Okay, you better do it."
Someone called her from the side, so she went over. Lu Laoliu whispered to He Lingchuan: "My daughter is crazy in front of others. Brother He, don't argue with her, and don't compete with her. She joined the army a few days ago.
His face was bruised and there was such a long gash, the whole family was terrified."
Lu Laoliu made gestures on his face, from the corners of his eyes to his mouth. "Fortunately we got good medicine, otherwise she would have scars on her face!"
"If you have this kind of trouble again, just come to me." Ling Guang was sitting on the table drinking wine. He Lingchuan pointed at it and said, "My pharmacist is the best at refining elixirs and making ointments. I'm sure there won't be any scars left."
There was a loud noise beside the bonfire. He Lingchuan patted Lu Qingbang on the shoulder and asked him to go talk to the reef dozens of feet away.
Today's meeting with the Lu brothers and sisters was actually the result of his repeated hints to Lu Laoliu.
Once Lu Laoliu understands, the relationship between the two parties will be able to move forward.
This place is far away from the crowd, and the sound of the tide is mechanical but pleasant. After the tide goes out, there are mudskippers and small crabs in the puddles on the rocks, and they hide in the cracks when they see people coming.
Lu Qingbang spoke first: "Why did He Xiao come to our place?"
"I'm tired of wandering all over the world, so I just want to find a place to put down roots." He Lingchuan sat down and swung his long legs on the rocks. "I think this place is pretty good. Once I come here, I don't want to leave."
"Great, I can ask Brother He for more advice in the future!"
He Lingchuan took a closer look at Lu Qingbang. The young man's eyes were full of joy, and his expression didn't seem to be fake.
"What are you asking for advice from?" He Lingchuan said casually, "Brother Lu has become a general, going into battle to kill the enemy and defend his homeland. The students in Lingxu City can only talk on paper and talk about doctrines, and they are no longer as good as you."
He himself has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can immediately smell the iron-blooded smell on Lu Qingbang's body. Don't look at the latter, who is less than twenty years old, and there must be a lot of lives under his hands.
Real knowledge comes from actual combat. Lu Qingbang who returned home to join the war was completely different from what he was two years ago. If he were in this state back then, He Lingchuan would have been able to pick him out from the crowd and make good friends with him.
"It was only after I went to the battlefield that I realized how difficult it was for Brother He back then." Lu Qingbang sighed lightly, "I heard people say in Lingxu City that you are the best at understanding people's hearts, the best at observing situations, and you are forthright in front of others.
People are meticulous. The more I think about it after I come back, the more I am right. If I can be as transparent as Brother He, maybe I won't be so passive when fighting on the front line."
He Lingchuan was surprised: "Who would say that about me?"
"Du Shan. He said it when he was drinking."
"...That old six!" He Lingchuan couldn't help but mutter.
