In the past, the Lu family was powerful in Zhuozhou Prefecture, calling for wind and rain. The assistants in the entire Zhuozhou Prefecture were basically related to the Lu family. There were tens of thousands of hectares in two days, nearly ten thousand private troops, and there were crowds of slaves.
However, since the Xiaoguo Army took over Youzhou, the Lu family was no longer as prosperous as before and became an ordinary family in Zhuozhou Prefecture. Although the Xiaoguo Army later revised its policies and relaxed the restrictions on raising slaves, the private army had to do the land and private army.
The control is indeed extremely strict.
The appointment of assistant officials is no longer something they can do. If you want to be an assistant official in the local prefectures and counties, you must be recognized by the Government Affairs Department of the Xiaoguo Army. At the same time, the Xiaoguo Army has an order that assistant officials are not allowed to serve in their hometowns, but they can bring their families.
.This completely cut off their path of using power for personal gain.
The power is gone, but the Lu family makes a lot of money in business, and there is nothing else, with a lot of capital and wide connections. In various prefectures in Youzhou, the Lu family's business name is also extraordinary.
"What do you think?" Lu Xianjing looked at her four sons and said lightly.
"What I mean is not mixed! Although I, Lu, have lost my previous status and power, have made a lot of money now. In Youzhou, as long as I don't do anything, I feel that I am no different from the past. And this kind of thing is that I am no different from the past.
Things are completely a matter of life-and-death, and I don’t agree with it.” Lu Liangyuan said casually.
"Oh? Haven't you been dissatisfied with Xiaoguojun? How did you object today?" Lu Xianjing looked at her son who had no talent and said with a smile.
"Father, my son is not interested in these powers and so on. My interest lies in money. Now I, Lu, have no idea how much I can earn in a year. Compared to the past, we are not bad. By the way, Lu, I, Lu
The clan business has obtained the qualification to march into the three eastern prefectures and is now transporting food, grass and supplies to the Xiaoguo Army. Although my Lu family cannot control Zhuozhou Prefecture as before, the entire Youzhou, except for the Xiaoguo Army, has not
People dare to underestimate it." Lu Liangyuan said heroically with his head held high.
Lu Xianjing looked at his second son and said with satisfaction: "If you have such a view, it means you have gained something. It seems that it is still correct to hand over the Lu business name to you. What about you? What do you think?"
Lu Liangfang and Lu Liangqing both said, "I agree with the second brother (second brother)'s view. You cannot participate in this matter."
Although Lu Liangzhang was a little hesitant, he also agreed with Lu Liangyuan's view.
"I just had a few people who settled down and wanted to expel the Xiaoguo Army? If the Xiaoguo Army was so easy to defeat, it would not dominate Youzhou. They were just seeking death, and the Xiaoguo Army was just hoping that they would jump out.
Yes, Liang Fang, report this matter to the Government Affairs Department." Lu Xianjing said lightly.
"Notification? We don't participate, we don't need to..." Lu Liangfang was stunned and said.
Lu Xianjing said slowly: "Since ancient times, it is inevitable to take sides. No matter which side you choose, you cannot remain neutral unless you have absolute power. A neutral person cannot gain the trust of the winner. He cannot support himself.
What's the use? The actions of these more than a hundred companies are definitely under the control of the Xiaoguo Army. They definitely know the news we gave, but this requires a statement and the issue of taking sides has to be done. Do you understand?
?”
"I understand!" Lu Liangfang said seriously.
"Liaoqing! Notify the other three companies and be honest and don't mix things that shouldn't be mixed!"
The Li family in Yuyang is also a large family. Although it cannot be compared with the Lu family of Zhuozhou Prefecture, it cannot be underestimated. However, since the Xiaoguo Army took over Youzhou, the Li family has been defeated. There is nothing else, and the family has emerged.
He lost a lot of scum, and he relied on the land to live, and was not good at business. As a result, after being taken back the land, he lost very quickly. For this reason, the Li family hated Xiaoguo Army to the core.
"Father, Zhuozhou Prefecture Lu family and Li Muyuan both gave the answer, saying that they were unwilling to participate." Li Han, who was thirty years old, said to his father Li Ye, who was sitting in the master's seat.
"Don't want to participate? Don't be optimistic about us? Don't they know that this matter is supported by the imperial court?"
"Father, I have given a hint of this, but they are unwilling to participate. In addition, there are more than 30 families who are unwilling to participate." Li Han said with a wry smile. In fact, he is unwilling to participate.
However, his father was the decision of this matter. Moreover, the Li family was extremely dissatisfied with the Xiaoguo Army, so they naturally had to participate.
"Li Huaiyuan... Don't think that if you surrender the Xiaoguo army, you will be safe and sound. If you expel the Xiaoguo army, I see if you can continue to live in Youzhou. Lu family, hum... This time, I, Li family, will be the general.
Instead of your status in Youzhou. Since they are unwilling to participate, let them be put aside. After the matter, they will make them look good." Li Ye said angrily.
"Father, they know my business, are they going to be on guard?"
"No, the time I give them is delayed. This action will be on June 15th, which is ten days later. You notify more than 130 participating companies and let them contact their respective local forces
, June 15th, the earth dragon turned over."

Yanzhou City, General Yunhui's Mansion.
"Sister Xinyan, do you say your brother wants to see me? Do you know what's wrong?" Xu Qinlian said calmly while holding the child.
Li Xinyan shrugged and said, "I don't know, but he said something about the various families in Youzhou?" After that, she went to tease the children on the side.
"I don't want to see guests when the general is not in the mansion. Let me do this. Go back and tell your second brother. I already know that the general will deal with what he said." Xu Qinlian paused slightly and said with a smile.
"Well, I understand, I'll go back and tell him now. Really, just tell me what's going on, right? I have to come to see my sister."
Seeing Li Xinyan leave, Xu Qinlian said lightly: "It seems that my husband's view is correct. Li Huaiyuan is not a loss for being an old fox in charge of Youzhou for nearly ten years. June 15th..."
"Sister, since Li Huaiyuan has chosen the path we want to see, we don't need to worry about Xinyan." Li Ruolan said with a smile. After having a son, Li Ruolan no longer likes martial arts as before.
, and also became a quiet and loving mother.
"That's true. In this way, there is no need to worry about Xinyan being stuck between her home and her husband. Her husband fought on the front line and recovered the lost land for the court. But these eyesless guys insisted on making trouble."
"Dad...hehe...dad..."
Zhao Rui, who was sitting in Xu Qinlian's arms, played with the jade pendant that Zhao Xun gave him, pouted and said in a slight voice.
"Dad...Dad..." Zhao Heng, who was just one year old, was hugged by Li Ruolan, also stared at his brother, and Dudu responded.
"Sister, Heng'er can speak too!" Li Ruolan said in surprise.
"Heng'er is one year old, so it's time to speak at this time. My husband said, teach more and guide them, and they will learn very quickly." Xu Qinlian looked at her son with a loving face.
Although Li Huaiyuan lives in Yanzhou City, Li Muyuan lives in Youzhou City with a pseudonym, and there is nothing else because he is the assistant of Youzhou Prefecture. Although Li Muyuan is not good at other aspects, he has a good job in political management. And
The Xiaoguo Army also lacked such experienced people, so Li Muyuan was also summoned by Zhao Xun as the assistant official of Youzhou Prefecture. Youzhou Prefecture is the capital of Youzhou. Although it is an assistant official, it is no less than the magistrate of the county.
It is not even lower than the prefectures of other prefectures.
As an assistant official, Li Muyuan naturally has his own residence in Youzhou City. In fact, many people know that he is Li Muyuan and Li Huaiyuan's second son, but so what? Xiao Guojun said he was not, but no one said he was
yes.
"What does the general say?" Li Muyuan, who trembled and took a sip of tea, asked back.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Can I still lie to you? What's the problem with you? By the way, Zhao Xun is not in the mansion, how can you ask for a meeting easily? I'm very embarrassed! Really!"
Li Xinyan said angrily. If her second brother hadn't reported something big, she would never have told Xu Qinlian about these things.
"What my father said is not bad, the general is indeed prepared! Fortunately..." Li Muyuan said to himself, but his trembling hands fully revealed his nervous mood.
Li Muyuan understood that if he didn't come today, he would definitely not have any good results in the future. If he echoed those people, he would probably... he would have just jumped into the abyss one step! Li Muyuan completely convinced Zhao Xun and Zhao Xun
Compared to him, he is indeed far inferior.
Time is like flowing water, and a few days are fleeting, and June fifteenth finally arrives.
Yuyang Mansion, Li Mansion.
"Father, five hundred private troops have been recalled in the mansion, but there is no soldier. These soldiers only have one sword and nothing else. Isn't this a bit hasty?" Li Han said worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? Five families in Yuyang City have all been launched, with a total of more than 2,000 people, but only 1,000 soldiers in the county. At that time, the chaos will come together, and those who are fishing in troubled waters will not know Fanfan. Once the court order is issued, these thousand people are not at all.
What's the problem?" Li Ye said proudly.
Father, it would be great if things were so simple. Not to mention anything else, just take one thousand county soldiers, which are also equipped with weapons and weapons, regular Xiaoguo Army. There are also the yamen runners in the city, the officials of each department, and two thousand people
There is no problem at all. In addition, there are three thousand Xiaoguo Army garrisons and three thousand new recruits in training in Yuyang Prefecture. When the Xiaoguo Army comes, how should we deal with it? Li Han smiled bitterly. But he knew that at this moment
His father had lost his eyes by the imperial edicts and kept his opinions.
"Everyone, you are all from my Li family. You have grown up after eating my Li family's food. Today, after the great things are done, you will naturally be rewarded. The court will also give you more rewards. As a general in the country, you will be granted a wife and a son.
It is not impossible. Today's things can only be successful, not failure.
"I am willing to die for the clan leader!" said the five private army leaders in unison. At this moment, they had no choice.
"Good, prepare for it. After the night fell, after our people set fire to the whole city, we then joined the other five private troops and headed straight to the governor's office to deal with the officials of the Xiaoguo Army."
On the fifteenth night, the moon like a silver plate hangs high in the sky, emitting heavy moonlight, and the entire earth is like a layer of silver sand.
"Master, are we going to set fire here? This..." Four or five sneaky guys appeared on Dongcheng Street, which was the place where various stores were located.
"Nonsense, the head of the family has orders. Do you dare not obey?" said the middle-aged man who was called the manager of the affairs.
"No, I don't dare..."
"Start the fire, start from this house and spread the tincture oil on you!" said the manager in a deep voice.
One of them just took off the water bag on his waist and was about to open it, and felt that his right arm was grabbed by a big hand.
"What are you doing? No..." The man said, but found that the manager and the five brothers around him were held by a group of men in black. The horizontal knife with a cold light on their necks made their eyes wide open, but they did not dare to send out any
sound.
"Don't talk, otherwise you will die!" The man in black next to this person took off the water bag filled with tincture oil in his hand, and after separation, he was still in the street. Not only his body, but also the tincture oil on the two others.
Throw it on the street. Then it took the fire note from the manager's hand and threw it on it.
"Boom..." The blazing flames suddenly ignited, illuminating the surroundings.
"It's over, withdraw!" The man in black shouted coldly and waved his hand to cut open the throat of the manager around him. The bright red blood was particularly dazzling under the illumination of the flames.
"Rare..."
"Puchi..." The other five were shocked and begged for mercy quickly. However, the group of men in black ignored it at all. They cut out the knife, and the five people then fell to the spot.
Not only here, this situation happened in more than a hundred places in Yuyang City, and suddenly, the entire Yuyang City was in full bloom.
"A fire has occurred...Put the fire..."
After a while, the entire Yuyang City was filled with shouts.
"Okay, the things are ready, take action!" Li Ye said proudly.
"Kill!" Five hundred people rushed out of the Li Mansion in the east of the city and rushed towards the center of the city.
Five hundred people waved their long swords and, led by Li Ye and the people of the Li family, rushed towards the place where they met with their loyalty.
"Who?" Some people spontaneously organized to put out the fire on the street and exclaimed as they looked at the five hundred murderous men.
"They belong to the Li family in the east of the city!"
"I know, what do they do with a knife if they don't put out the fire?"
"The Li family has rebelled, everyone run away!" Someone was surprised in the crowd.
After a moment of pause, nearly a hundred people from the Li Jia Private Army scattered birds and beasts, and in a moment, there was a sound of shouting and scolding, and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it! What a good rebellion, and it's not enough to make people live."
"I heard that the court was dissatisfied with the Xiaoguo Army's private distribution of land to us and exempting taxes. I wanted to take advantage of the general's leadership to get rid of the Xiaoguo Army, and the Li family was one of them!"
"These bastards, generals pardon taxes and distribute land. That's not for the people, they actually..."
"That's right, the little Sumo-Mi-Ling dared to seize the land of our Yan Kingdom, and the generals recovered it. The court didn't know how to reward it, but it was still stabbing the knife in the back. We can't let them succeed, otherwise our good days will come to an end.
