How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 208

[208. Chapter 208 Immortal guides the way]

. Since ancient times, the county magistrate has destroyed the family and the governor has destroyed the family.

From Ruoshui’s point of view, Mr. Lu, as a fourth-rank official, makes money in an upright and dignified manner without hurting anyone or killing anyone. His conscience is as big as the sun and the moon in the rivers and seas!

Just as he was talking, Sun Hei came to report: “My lord, the Liu family, the Cao family, and the Han family have sent invitations to entertain Lord Lu. The time and place are up to you.”

“Huh! It’s worthy of a thousand years. The aristocratic family has a keen sense of smell, and when they sense the huge benefits, they come in droves.”

Lu Gan snorted, showing that this was indeed the case.

He originally wanted to eat the big dogs like the Shi Family, but he didn’t expect that they would come so quickly… huh?

Suddenly, Lu Qian’s expression turned serious and his brows furrowed.

“Sir, what happened?”

Ruoshui couldn’t help but asked softly when he saw Lu Qian’s expression was strange.

Lu Qian looked cold and murmured: “I seem to have made a mistake…”

As soon as these words came out, Ruoshui and Sun Hei were stunned.

Lu Qian’s face darkened and he waved his hands without explaining, “You guys should step aside first and let me think about it carefully. As for the three aristocratic families, I will only reply to them tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

Ruoshui , Although Sun Hei had doubts, he still cupped his hands and bowed to leave.

Lu Qian looked at the cold and dark night outside the hall, the whistling wind and snow, and frowned.

There are three hundred and sixty rows in the entire county, all of which are inextricably related to the aristocratic families.

As soon as the guidebook came out, money was made, but in the end it was the aristocratic family that got the lion’s share. Invisibly, the guidebook became a tool for the family to make money.

“It’s really self-defeating! This time, you are really obsessed with the authorities!”

Lu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and spat out a sentence.

The overall situation has been decided, this matter is a bit difficult to handle!

After pondering for a long time, Lu Gan still frowned. He subconsciously wanted to go to Xing Laodao and Zuo Xi to discuss it, but when he turned around and thought, they were also in the game. They had to find an outsider, a wise man who was a bystander, to discuss and ask for advice.

After thinking about it, a figure came to mind.

Lu Qian no longer hesitated and went to the kitchen to inquire. Then he took a jar of wine and a food box and went straight to the warehouse.

Before he could knock on the door, a long voice came: “Master Lu, please come in.”

Then, with a bang, the warehouse door opened.

Lu Qian nodded slightly and walked as fast as an arrow straight into the accounting room deep in the warehouse.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the old scholar, with a hunched and thin body, white hair scattered on his shoulders, sitting quietly reading a book.

On his left hand side is a pile of books piled high, and on his right hand side a copper lamp is burning, bursting out a lantern.

“Senior, I brought you your favorite fried rice and peach blossom drunkenness.”

Lu Gan took a step forward and gently placed the food box and wine jar on the table.

Inadvertently, he saw the covers of the stack of books and was stunned. They turned out to be many serialized novels published by Ruoshui Bookstore.

The top one is “The Story of the Stone”.

“Master Lu is serious. Now I’m just a warehouse keeper. Master Lu, there’s no need to be polite.”

Shu Lao raised his head and said calmly with a calm expression.

What’s strange is that on this old book’s wrinkled face, only the whites of his eyes are left, without pupils and eyes, which makes it look a bit visceral.

Lu Qian was not afraid at all, his expression remained calm, with a hint of respect: “This junior does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. When I come here this time, I want to ask my senior for guidance. Naturally, I have to be more polite.”

After that, he will Take out the fried rice from the food box, and fill the jade cups and wine cups one by one.

“You’re welcome, old man.”

Shu Lao smelled the aroma of rice, nodded slightly, put down the book he was reading in half, and started eating directly.

He ate slowly and leisurely, one bite at a time, as if he was enjoying this delicious plate of fried rice.

Lu Qian found a chair and sat across from Shu Lao. He drank wine slowly and waited quietly for the old man to finish his meal.

Suddenly, Shu Lao raised his head and asked, “What is added to this rice? Why do I feel like crying after eating it.”

“It’s Mingyun grass.”

Lu Qian chuckled and said, “Mingyun grass from Xuanhuang Mountain of Xuanhuang Sect. After the chef of Bazuilou learned about your identity, he specially cooked it for you.”

Hearing this, Shu Lao smiled and said, “So, he is also a caring person. It is a pity that he would not be too obsessed with cooking. , he should have broken through the Dharma Appearance Realm long ago.”

After finishing speaking, he finished the remaining fried rice, picked up the jade cup, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, with an extremely emotional expression.

After a long time, Shu Lao sighed: “Peach Blossom Drunk was also added with Mingyuncao, which indeed brought back many past memories for me. Unfortunately, things have changed and people who accompanied Drunk on Xuanhuang Mountain back then have all been killed. No more.”

When Lu Gan heard this, he felt a trace of sadness in the words.

In the air, a kind of loneliness that has been brewing for hundreds of years permeates the air, making people feel a little sad.

But soon, Shu Lao put down the jade cup, looked straight, and said leisurely: “I am just a warehouse guard, but I have lived for a few days and read some books. Although I can’t understand the worldly knowledge, I can still talk about things when I encounter them. Mr. Lu, please tell me.”

Lu Qian handed over his hand and went straight to the topic: “This junior got a guidebook. I wanted to make some money, but suddenly I found that it seemed to be making wedding clothes for aristocratic families. Now I can’t make progress, and I can’t retreat. It’s self-defeating, please.” Senior, please give me some advice!”

After that, he filled Shulao’s glass of wine again.

Shu Lao turned the jade cup, pondered for a moment, and asked: “Master Lu, do you know how old Dayue is and how old Dayyou is?”

“Dayue, the former dynasty? One thousand six hundred years. Dayou, eight hundred years.”

Lu Qian He raised his eyebrows and replied solemnly.

Shu Lao asked again: “If the sect leader does not become a martial saint and does not rebel, how long does Mr. Lu think Dayou can live?”

The sect leader here obviously refers to the current emperor, Zhao Xuanji, the sect leader of the Xuanhuang Sect.

“A thousand years?”

Lu Qian thought for a while and guessed a number.

“No, it’s still eight hundred years of destiny.” Shu Lao shook his head.

Lu Gan suddenly looked confused.

At the end of Dayou, although the imperial court was in a state of decay, at any rate, the Shenlin Army and the four guardian elders were suppressing it. The Xuanhuang Sect could survive for another two hundred years without a Martial Saint.

Why is it still eight hundred years?

At this time, Shu Lao narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice deepened: “Eight hundred years ago, at the end of Dai Viet, there were two major disasters. One was the Daluo Temple. There were millions of monks in the Daluo Temple at that time, and among the prefectures and counties, There are mountains of temples and temples, just like a Buddhist kingdom. The Queen of Ochi went to great lengths to destroy the Dailuo Temple, but in the end he failed, and both sides suffered losses. “

” The noble family?”

Lu Gan blurted out.

Shu Lao nodded: “Yes. The aristocratic family attached itself to Dai Viet, attacked the Da Luo Temple, and plundered a lot of treasures, martial arts, and land. At this point, the Da Luo Temple weakened, and the aristocratic family rose, and from then on it began to lie on the Dai Viet Dynasty. He sucked blood until Dayue died. After Dayue was destroyed and Dayou was established, the family continued to suck blood and finally took shape. Because of this, Dayou can only live for eight hundred years. If the Xuanhuang Sect does not rebel, the family will rebel.

” Yi Lin, completely figured out the joints.

If a dynasty is compared to a person, each aristocratic family is like the leeches everywhere on the person.

At first, the leech is small and does not suck much blood, so people can continue to grow taller and bigger. However, when the leech is completely grown up and another baby continues to suck blood crazily, the baby will be depleted of nutrients and die before it grows up.

Because the size of a dynasty is there, there are only so many people in the land, and there are only so many nutrients provided. All of them are sucked away by the aristocratic families, and the dynasty will naturally perish early.

However, the strong family is always strong and still stands strong.

This is an iron-clad family and a flowing dynasty.

“Mr. Lu, the guide you created has good intentions, but it also allows resources to be concentrated more quickly, and they are seized and plundered by aristocratic families. Soon, your method spreads, and aristocratic families in various states will follow suit and plunder the Daxuan Seven The money of the Twelve States. The family has received the money, but will not spit it out. If it is not suppressed by the Martial Saint of the Sect Master, Daxuan may only have a life of three to five hundred years.”

At this time, Shu Lao drank. One cup, he said calmly.

Lu Qian continued to fill up the wine for Shu Lao, with a hint of shame on his face: “It’s the junior who is reckless!”

Shu Lao shook his head and smiled: “You are only nineteen years old. It is your first time to be a fourth-grade official. It is normal to make mistakes. Except for gods, No one can avoid making mistakes.”

Lu Gan nodded.

In the past, he had managed more than 10,000 pigs at most, but now he was the fourth-grade chief catcher and was in charge of more than 30 million people in one county and 28 counties. It was inevitable that he would not think carefully.

“So senior, what should I do now?”

Lu Qian slightly cupped his hands and asked humbly.

“The five major aristocratic families in Qingzhou have each stood for thousands of years. They are deeply intertwined. You can’t defeat them alone.”

Shu Lao put down his wine glass and said leisurely: “So…if you can’t defeat them, just join.”

Huh?

When Lu Qian heard this, he tilted his head and was stunned on the spot.
