Lou Yuanyou leisurely sent Liang Enzai out of the palace. He leaned against the palace gate and asked again, "Are you sure you're not bringing any troops?"
"How big do you think Fanluo is?
Where would you find a place to settle them? "Liang Enzai rolled his eyes and leapt onto the horse waiting for him outside the palace.
"Don't tell me there are a lot of chivalrous heroes?" Lou Yuanyou asked with a smile.
He admitted that he was jealous. He was jealous that this heartless man in front of him was giving him all the pressure of the imperial court while he brought his chivalrous heroes to the south to marry a wife.
"No matter how many there are, they can't compare to your military strength.
Moreover, did the Regent forget?
Fanluo County and the Dahui are no longer divided into superior and subordinate.
In other words, "Liang Enzai paused and gave a provocative smile that Lou Yuanyou found extremely annoying," I'm just the Prince of a small county in Fanluo County. Every year, I have to collect a lot of tributes to the Dahui. Of course, I have to save money. "
"Cut it out!"
Lou Yuanyou rolled his eyes and said in annoyance, "Putting aside the assets of the Prince Jing Palace, the money you've earned from robbing people all these years is enough to buy the entire Dahui Palace."
"Brother Lou, how can you belittle my character like this?
It hurts me too much.
Without Brother Lou's support, there wouldn't be chivalrous heroes today. However, it's too much to say that they rob people all over the place. Who knows how much money I've spent in a year? "
"Enough, enough. Don't mention chivalrous heroes. I get angry every time you mention them.
Remember what you promised me. Sign the 'Peace Treaty' for Blood Hades as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I don't care if you're in the south or the west. Come back and be a good Minister of War. "
"Don't worry. The contract is already done. All we have to do is wait for the Guang Ci Tower to send it to you."
Liang Enzai looked up and saw that the sun was already setting in the west. He quickly turned his horse around and waved goodbye to Lou Yuanyou. "It's getting late. If we continue chatting, I think we'll have to sleep outside tonight.
If you have time, come visit my little county! "
Lou Yuanyou stood outside the palace gates and watched as the man and horse gradually disappeared into the distance. Only when they could no longer be seen did he sigh softly and turn back into the palace, slowly walking towards the Great Meeting Hall.
The Emperor was critically ill, and the five-year-old prince had successfully ascended the throne with the support of him and Liang Enzai. He was the regent.
This news spread to the outside of the Imperial Palace, and even to the Dahui. He knew what outsiders would say about them, especially about him.
However, only he and Enzai knew why they had done this, and why they had taken advantage of the fact that the Emperor was critically ill and the palace was in chaos to help the Ninth Prince ascend to the highest position.
This was because, among all the princes, only the Ninth Prince was his late sister's only bloodline.
It was widely rumored in the Imperial Palace that his sister had died due to insufficient Qi and blood after giving birth to the Ninth Prince.
However, the truth was that she had been angered to death by Li Wenxiu's new favorite concubine.
He didn't want to take away the Li family's world, but he also didn't want his young nephew to be ostracized by his half-brothers.
Therefore, he used Liang Enzai's swordsman to threaten the Emperor. If he didn't agree to his suggestion, he would flatten the Imperial Palace and wipe out the other descendants of the Li family.
The Dahui Imperial Palace was also going to be overturned.
Fortunately, Li Wenxiu had many concubines in his life, but the Empress only gave birth to two princesses. Therefore, there was no such thing as a legitimate son succeeding the throne. No matter who ascended the throne, they would be born of a concubine.
Therefore, the five-year-old Ninth Prince complied with the Emperor's grace and ascended the throne with the help of the regent.
The era of Feng Qing ended, and the beginning of a new era followed.
…
When the afterglow of the setting sun shone over Moonflower Town, a man and a horse arrived.
"Master, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
A man in green, about twenty years old, respectfully stepped forward and took the reins from the handsome man in white. He led the horse, complaining as he walked towards Moonflower Inn.
"Master, I have to give some instructions. Being able to get here before the sun sets is already a success." Liang Enzai smiled and glanced at the aggrieved Qing Feng. "What?
Did Wuji make you angry again? "
"He wouldn't dare!" Qing Feng shook his head and refuted. "It's Wuxing.
I don't know who did this to him, but he brought his attitude to the swordsman. "
"Alas, you don't know his temper. After so many years, you're still affected by him.
Let's go, I'll treat you tonight. Everyone, order as much as you want. "
"Hey, this is a small inn. Other than sliced beef, there's only cold shredded cheese.
Master, are you doing this on purpose?
Why did you choose to treat us here?
Why didn't you treat everyone in the Imperial Capital … "
"It's not the same as before. I don't have a salary anymore.
I still have to feed the people in the county. How can I not save money? "
"I knew you were up to something … Governor Lou said that you robbed the old Emperor of tens of thousands of taels of gold. Feeding a small county is a piece of cake …"
When Liang Enzai heard this, he was so shocked that his feet slipped. "You guys even know about this?
No wonder you didn't want to leave and insisted on following me to Fanluo County.
I thought you guys had found your conscience … I didn't expect you guys to be after my gold.
Let me tell you!
Fanluo County is my territory. There are countless experts there. Be careful … "
"Hey … who are you kidding? Everyone knows that Fanluo County is a desolate place. It's no different from Moonflower Town, right?
Master, don't think Qing Feng doesn't know what the barbarian cities in the south look like because he hasn't been to Zhong River for many years … "
"Hey … Qing Feng, let's make a bet. If you still think this way when we reach Fanluo County, I'll take it as my loss."
"No problem. What's the bet?"
"Let's bet on your Wuji."
"You can't bet on Wuji."
"Let's bet on Wuji working for me."
"This … no problem.
If you win, don't let Wuji work for you anymore. "
"No problem." He didn't plan on letting his subordinates work for him anymore.
Next, he would reform Fanluo County. He wanted them to work for him, not their lives!
A certain pitiful man was betrayed by the man who shared the same bed as him and his unscrupulous master.
…
"The mansion is ready.
I heard that Big Brother will arrive in the city tomorrow with twenty or so subordinates. Father and Mother will be a few days later. They said that they didn't have time to visit the Dahui. Now that they have some free time, they want to visit all the other famous cities in the Dahui.
Maybe it'll be mid-autumn by the time they get home.
But this year's mid-autumn will be lively. "Su Shuiche waved the news she just received and smiled at Lin Siyao.
"Yes.
That's good.
We won't have much time to spend with them before mid-autumn. "Lin Siyao washed his hands and pulled her into his arms. He smelled the fragrance of her hair and felt satisfied.
"Yes.
After this year, we should be able to relax.
Why do I feel that the past few years have passed so quickly? Every time we finish a project, a few months will pass. "
Su Shuiche leaned against him with all her strength. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the rare leisure time in the afternoon.
A while ago, he was either busy looking for a place to stay in Fengyao Pavilion or she was going to Xiufeng Peak to check on the progress of the silk weaving workshop. It was rare to see them resting at home during the day.
"Not necessarily."
Lin Siyao leaned his head on her shoulder and hugged her from behind. He leaned against the soft chair. "Your Big Brother plans to reclaim the wasteland on both sides of the two official roads.
This is not a small project. "
"Oh right, I forgot about that.
I also plan to move the pickle workshop to the official road and build it bigger. Not only will we make pickles and meat, but we'll also make all kinds of sauces.
As for the name, let's call it 'He Yuan' Sauce Workshop.
As for the silk weaving workshop, once it starts production, the workshop under Xiufeng Peak won't be big enough. Moreover, we'll need to recruit a lot of spinners. It'll be more convenient to put it on the side of the official road … "She counted with her fingers and found that it would take many years to completely settle down.
Lin Siyao couldn't help but chuckle. Taking advantage of the moment when she turned to look at him, he stole a kiss on her cheek. "Don't push yourself too hard."
"It's Big Brother's orders that are too tight. It makes it seem like we're all very free."
Su Shuiche couldn't help but pout, but Lin Siyao kissed her cherry red lips. "Don't be too tired. My heart will ache."
"You too.
You've been going out early and coming back late recently. You've lost weight. "She cupped his slightly tanned and angular face and muttered with heartache.
"It's okay." He hugged her tightly and carried her to the bedroom.
This kind of tiredness didn't mean anything to him.
It was many times more relaxing than the dark days before he left the assassins.
"Have you chosen a new location for Fengyao Pavilion?" It wasn't easy to find a ready-made venue that could accommodate hundreds of people.
The largest in Fanluo City was the City Lord's residence, and the second largest was the former richest Lu family.
Could it be …
"I've found it.
I'm just waiting for Louis Stu to come. "
"Where is it?"
"I'll take you to see it some other day." He avoided answering.
After putting her on the big bed, he rolled over and pressed her down. "If you don't want to take a nap, then do something else …"
Oh, who said she didn't want to take a nap?
She had only asked him a few questions out of concern before the nap, and he had already devoured her. That day, the two of them hugged each other and slept until dusk.
The next day, at her reminder, when they entered the city to welcome Prefectural Prince Liang Enzai, they had him accompany them to the new location of Fengyao Pavilion.
As she expected, the Lu family's garden had been bought by Lin Siyao. As for where the Lu family had moved to, she didn't know. She only knew that Hua Kang had sold all the Lu family's subordinate shops and left Fanluo City.
Those shops were all rundown shops that were waiting to close down. Together with the residence, they were sold for a total of three hundred taels of silver.
Since then, the Lu family, which had been the richest family in Fanluo City for decades, had run out of luck in Hua Kang's generation.
The property that had been worth enough for several lifetimes was now only worth three hundred taels of silver.
Sigh!
Su Shuiche leaned against the door of the Lu residence and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go, your eldest brother is here." Lin Siyao came out from inside and pulled Su Shuiche towards the City Lord's residence.
Commandery Prince Liang Enzai, who was dressed in white and riding on a tall and handsome horse, slowly arrived at the territory he would use his life to manage, protect, and develop — Fanluo Commandery — amidst the cheers of the citizens of the city.
"I am your Prefectural Prince, and I will spend the rest of my life here with you.
There is no eight-year limit, no imperial edict. As long as it is beneficial to Fanluo City, I can lead you to … "
