Whoever clears out the group of foxes that hinder the trade route will own the interests of the trade route. This matter is quite right, and it was decided by the Zhao family at that time.

At that time, Zhao Pingsong thought that the Han family of the three families were the weakest, the Lu family was second, and the Zhao family was the strongest. Neither Lu nor Han family had the Qiming period cultivator, and foundation-building cultivators could not catch those foxes unless they had special spiritual consciousness and soul abilities.

Neither Lu nor Han family has such a person.

In contrast, the Zhao family is the easiest to clear out the fox group. There is a foundation-building cultivator in the Zhao family who has practiced a magical method, which is a little more powerful in this regard.

If you turn around and invite the senior monk from the family, you can easily open up the business road. Wouldn't this profit fall into the hands of their Zhao family?

The income from the business road between the two counties, even if it is just mortal trade, can accumulate about twenty spirit stones in a year. This money is enough to support two Qi-training monks.

Not to mention, if you control the income of a business road, you can set up a special caravan to operate it yourself, and the income will be greatly improved; if you occupy an outward business road, you can also arrange fat people in the county government to further increase the family's control over Pingyao County...

Unexpectedly, the monk of the family had no time to come for a short period of time, and this matter was delayed for five years.

Originally, Zhao Pingsong thought it was nothing, but the remaining two companies could not solve this problem, but unexpectedly, the Lu family suddenly got it done.

To be honest, this is a bit beyond Zhao Pingsong's expectations.

He was sure that the Lu family would take advantage of this matter to further seek control of Pingyao County.

But he thought about it for a moment, and then he felt that this was not a good thing.

I was thinking before that the incident caused by his son Zhao Qing'an caused the Lu family to have a strong impact and damaged the interests of the Zhao family in Pingyao County. How should I think of the family's explanation for this part of the gap? As a result, I made an excuse when I turned around.

If the Lu family wants to fight for more benefits, they can fight for it. He only needs to transfer the previous losses to this time to smooth out the previous gap. For this reason, when Lu comes to fight for benefits this time, it doesn’t matter if he gives up more.

Anyway, the loss is the family's interests. The income paid by Pingyao County must be given to the family and cannot reach his own pocket. In contrast, it is more important to protect his son from punishment.

Of course, he did not kill the demon fox and instead let the Lu family take the lead. The family will definitely have a responsibility, but the problem is not too big. After all, he has reported this to the family for a long time. It is because the family has not sent the foundation-building monk who is good at spiritual searching. What does it have to do with him, Zhao Pingsong?

After thinking through the whole thing, he was sure of how to talk to Lu Chaojun, the fifth brother of the Lu family, about what happened next.

...

Lu Chaojun is 87 years old this year, and has a ninth level of Qi training. He is a cultivator with three spirit roots.

Logically speaking, the talent of the Three Spirit Roots is not good or too bad. When my father was still there, he had enough resources, so he had a chance to impact the foundation-building stage.

But when he was young, he felt that he had a Jindan ancestor as his father and was not afraid of anything. He was a little greedy for the world and wandered in the wind and moon. He also caused a lot of trouble with his father's name. After being harshly educated by Lu Qing a few times, he just restrained himself a little.

In terms of cultivation, you will definitely not work hard and your cultivation will not progress quickly.

Later, the family was ruined, and of course he was tempered. His personality became much better and he became more at ease. He was willing to make up his mind to practice hard.

The prodigal son returns and does not change gold, but the time that disappears cannot be compensated.

After the family declined, the resources were far from comparable to those when Lu Qing was still there. He was not a good talent and could not allow him to reverse the situation. By the time he reached the ninth level of Qi training, he was already more than sixty, and his qi and blood were declining, and he missed the opportunity to build the foundation.

As a result, Lu Chaojun will be able to practice Qi in this life, and his life will last for about 120 years.

Of course, regret is regret, but at such an age, he has gradually understood some truths: bear the sins he has committed.

Pingyao County has always been a very important part of the family's income, especially after the decline, more than 200 spirit stones per year are also a large sum of money, so it is naturally necessary for an important family monk to take charge.

In the past, there were some family of foundation-building monks taking turns to take charge. Later, the struggle between the Zhao and Lu families subsided. Although the relationship was still bad, the Zhao family withdrew the foundation-building monks, and the Lu family had no need to keep it anymore, so they just sent people from the ninth level of Qi training to come.

Lu Chaojun is that person.

This time, his seventh brother Lu Chaohe came to news that the fox flock on the business road had been wiped out by the family. He immediately understood what his seventh brother wanted to express and began to prepare to form a caravan leading to Luyi County, and after the fox skins were sent, they showed it to the outside.

Then, sure enough, he received a message from Zhao Pingsong and asked him to discuss the matter.

Before going to find Zhao Pingsong, he was ready for hard negotiations. That guy was not an easy person to deal with, but an old fox.

But after he came back from talking with Zhao Pingsong, he felt that the whole thing seemed a bit dreamy.

When talking about interests, the lion always talks loudly and then slowly chats. He first proposed a condition that he thought was considered very favorable in advance and was ready to confront Zhao Pingsong for a long time, but the other party was much softer than he thought. In an afternoon, the two sides reached an agreement on business roads, and the Lu family got much more than expected.

Of course he was very happy, but after he came out, he always felt something was wrong. When did this old thing in the Zhao family become so easy to talk to?

He thought about it carefully, but never thought that there was something wrong with the things he had just talked to Zhao Pingsong.

"Is it possible that there will be problems in execution?" After thinking about this, he decided to focus on the matter when establishing a caravan and obtaining the interests that belong to the Lu family, so as not to make trouble for the Zhao family.

What happened next proved that he was thinking too much.

The Zhao family showed great sincerity and had a good deal, and they were given everything they should have.

Ten days later, the first wave of caravans set off; two months later, Pingyao and Luyi counties resumed normal trade exchanges.

Lu Chaojun stared at this matter tightly. After more than a year, the situation was calm and the Zhao family really didn't do anything wrong.
