Ander walked for a long time, and when he came back he looked relaxed. In the ancestral hall, Ander and Mrs. Lu had a frank chat, and finally reached an agreement. The general situation is as follows:
Ander said that I am not a money-grubbing person. The main reason is that the Lu family has a good reputation. I want to use the reputation to facilitate my work. In exchange, I can keep the blood of the Lu family alive. I am willing to serve as a protector and so on.
Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ander didn't care about the Lu family's ancestral business. She said that the Lu family has only been passed down from generation to generation and the population is sparse. If you are willing to use the name of the Lu family to do good things, I won't stop you.
When Ande saw Mrs. Lu relenting, he immediately hit the snake with a stick and said that he was about to explode the dragon's veins. This is your husband's lifelong dream, but I still lack a good weapon. The Lu family has a great business.
Would you like to put in some effort?
Finally, Angers watched Ender come out with a two-handed hammer. Different from the huge two-handed hammer in the game, this two-handed hammer was closer to the image in history. There was a rod made of some kind of metal similar to a mace.
The head of the hammer has a pointed head for breaking armor and a flat head for striking.
The treasures of the Lu family are less than expected. These Chinese mixed-race families were so harmed by the Tatars that they could hardly leave any gold and silver treasures.
Ender picked through the pile of alchemical items before choosing this mace. His previous "staff" was damaged in the battle, and he didn't want to touch those disgusting Deadpools with his hands.
"I chatted with Mrs. Lu, you guys have been waiting for a long time."
Ender waved his hands to the few people still sitting in their seats. He now had another weapon and seemed a little excited.
Mrs. Lu followed Ander with a calm expression on her face. No one knew what she had just talked about with Ander.
Angers looked at Mrs. Lu, took out a set of beautifully packaged toys from her backpack, and said:
"Lu Shanyan often said that he had a child, so I bought him some gifts and wanted to give them to him."
Ender was a little surprised at how meticulous Angers was in some aspects. Looking at the German words on the packaging, he guessed that Angers bought it in Germany and brought it all the way to China.
Mrs. Lu accepted Ange's gift, but had no desire to continue communicating. Enough things had happened today, and she needed some time to recover.
"It's getting late now, please go back. From now on, my uncle will act on behalf of the Lu family regarding the dragon veins."
The last words were to Ander. It was Lu Shanyan’s wish to blow up the dragon veins. It was impossible for the Lu family not to be involved in such a thing. However, the last bloodline of the Lu family had not grown up yet, so they could only rely on Ander, an outsider, to hold up the scene.
.
Mr. Lu plans to pack up his things and take his children to hide somewhere else in two days. The Lu family owns a lot of real estate in Minzhou, which is enough for the mother and son to hide without being discovered.
The group of people walked out of the Lu family and walked on the muddy dirt road again. The Lu family's house was not far from Minzhou City. With the strength of a few people, they could easily return to Minzhou City.
"How did the Lu family make their fortune?"
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Ender simply found a topic to chat with.
"Seniors don't know. In the early years, the Lu family hid in the mountains of Minzhou and were not harmed by the Tatars. Later, they relied on the sea to eat and started fishing with their strong physical fitness. Then they went into business and left
He has gained a lot of ancestral property.”
Chu Hao knew the Lu family quite well and told Ander the history of the Lu family's fortune in detail.
Ander looked at Chu Hao with a poker face, and then asked:
"How much money do you think the Lu family has?"
"Most of the expenses for the Dragon Vein Project come from Brother Lu's money."
"Then you sold more than 600 pieces of antiques, so you made a lot of money, right?"
"It's really quite a lot, and foreigners are really willing to give money."
Ender clapped his hands and said:
"Then your Dragon Vein Project needs no one and no one wants anything, so where did all the money go?"
Chu Hao lowered his head and did the math. In fact, he didn't know where the money was spent. He was a wanderer. Although he had the ability of a mixed race, he didn't have much education. Lu Shanyan was in charge of these things before.
.
"Uncle De, please don't embarrass my brother. He is a good fighter, but not very good at accounting."
Ander looked at Chu Jie who had transformed into a skinny man and said curiously:
"So you know where the money went?"
Chu Jie smiled and nodded. She didn't have a high status in the Tiandi Society, but she still knew where some money was going because of her brother's relationship.
"I heard before that the money was used to buy boats and explosives, and it also opened up several different routes, allowing people to go anywhere under the noses of the Tatars."
Chu Hao actually knew this, but he knew that the Lu family and the money from selling antiques were more than enough for these places, so he never answered Ander, but calculated slowly in his heart.
"Another thing my brother doesn't know is that most of the money was actually used to fight the Tatars. Behind those rebellious heroes, we have our people behind them."
Only then did Ender understand that most of the money had been used for rebellion. In today's world, if you want to rebel, you can't just rely on iron swords and bows and arrows. You have to get American rifles and German cannons to defeat the Tatars.
In addition, these modern weapons are more complicated to operate, and Tiandihui estimates that most of its money is spent on training talents.
"I'm not blind. I still knew they took money, but I didn't expect they took so much money."
Chu Hao argued that in fact, ordinary people in the Tiandihui were very greedy for the money sent by Lu Shanyan, and often found various reasons to knock off part of it.
Ender didn't want to hear how the people of the Tiandihui plucked their feathers. This kind of topic involving the loss of wealth made him feel very uncomfortable as a dragon.
"Then when will people from other families arrive in Minzhou?"
The Tiandi Society plans to gather in Minzhou, and the group will take a boat to go north, then enter Qinzhou by land, and finally reach Tongwan City.
"The Su family and the Ye family are both in Yangcheng. They should be here soon."
Speaking of the remaining mixed-race families, Ander became interested. According to Chu Hao's introduction, among the five mixed-race families in the Tiandihui, the Su family and the Ye family, one is good at throwing knives and hidden weapons, and the other is good at investigation. Although
The combat ability is not strong, but the supporting role cannot be underestimated.
"Let's talk about the Chen family. I heard they ran away?"
The Chen family has the most uncanny ability among the five families. According to Chu Hao, they are good at sneaking in, picking locks, stealing and defrauding, and they are also the best at predicting danger.
"Yes, the Chen family left China a few years ago without any news."
"Were they so scared that they ran away?"
"No, senior, it is said that the real person gave them a prophecy and asked them to run to Europe..."
This hybrid with the ability to predict things is really a troublesome character.
"The Chen family still owes me an alchemy weapon, and I will have to find a way to make them repay the debt."
