Chapter 249 Exist in name only!
Gu Zhilun respectfully presented the boy with 20,000 taels of silver notes. With the silver notes, the boy was confident and his waist stood up.
He is a very complicated person. When he is disguised, he looks like a boy in his early teens standing behind Lu Zheng. No one cares about his existence.
But in fact, he is in his early forties. Not only is he possessed martial arts, but he is also very planning. Many of the resources left by Mr. Yan are in his control.
"Young Master, look over there. These eighteen pleasure boats are controlled by Yang Xiulian. At present, everything in this area is within our control." The boy said respectfully.
Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Yang Xiulian's business should be a lot worse when she got here from Qinhuai River, right? Especially some time ago, Sankong Bridge was in a panic, so her condition was even worse, right?"
The boy said, "Well, but Yang Xiulian didn't complain about these things. She is an old man, but for me, it also needs observation and investigation. If it is unusable, I have to give up immediately!"
"By the way, young master, why did you ask Boss Gu to recruit He Lianggong?" asked the boy.
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Why is it so easy for us to defeat the Gu family to be in Liuhe for so many years? The reason is very simple. Over the years, He Lianggong has dominated the Liuhe family. He thought he was the best in the world and did not take anyone seriously, which gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it.
He Liangquan replaced He Lianggong. As time goes by, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not become the second He Lianggong. In this case, it is necessary to create an enemy for him and make him tighten a string at all times!"
The boy was stunned for a moment, and many thoughts turned into his mind. Naturally, he would not only listen to Lu Zheng’s superficial meaning. With his IQ, he quickly realized Lu Zheng’s deeper intention.
No one knows the secret of He Er being Lu Zheng, and maybe no one in the Lu family knows this secret.
Gu Zhilun is also Lu Zheng's person. Lu Zheng asked Gu Zhilun to recruit He Lianggong, so that the two brothers He Lianggong and He Liangquan will always maintain a state of competition with each other. On the surface, Liuhe is fighting fiercely, but in fact, Lu Zheng is the so-called forces behind these so-called forces.
Any other outsider who wants to achieve success in Liuhe will inevitably think about finding flaws and weaknesses. Whether they are looking for Gu Zhilun or He Er, the ending will be the same. Lu Zheng will know it as soon as possible, and he can easily get rid of people with ulterior motives without any trace, because Lu Zheng is the controller of the game!
Lu Zheng used He Lianggong to build a wonderful fortress. This disguised fortress is very confusing. The boy has to admit that Lu Zheng's handling is really wonderful. Even he never thought about it...
...
Jiangning, the Lu family, Lu Shanchang and Lu Qian all returned to their mansion today.
The news about Liuhe has been spread. Lu Qian stayed alone in the study for more than two hours without saying anything. His mood was really complicated and it was difficult to express it in words.
He still remembers the courtesy that His Highness Pu has given him. He never thought that he would get such courtesy, and the one who got him was Lu Zheng, the concubine's son whom he had never valued.
Lu Zheng became famous overnight in the Qinhuai River. His reputation has already alarmed His Highness Pu. When he was young, Lu Qian lingered in the Qinhuai River countless times, and he also fantasized about becoming famous in the Qinhuai River, thus becoming a talented man admired by everyone in Jinling and a great man who competed for the courtesans on the Qinhuai River.
Unfortunately, he never realized such a dream. As he grew older, this dream became farther and farther away from him. Now, his son Lu Zheng helped him realize his former dream, and even Lu Zheng's performance was even better than he had imagined. Even His Highness Pu appreciated Lu Zheng's talent. For this reason, His Highness Pu even visited him in Tongzhengsi to visit him, Lu Qian, and allowed him to make a lot of face in front of his colleagues.
The warmth of this matter is still there. News came from Liuhe that Gu Zhilun, a Yangzhou businessman who was close to Lu Zheng, made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Liuhe. The Gu family's vitality in Liuhe was severely damaged. Nie Yong completely gained a foothold in Liuhe. The problem of the Southern Mansion Army was also broken by Zhan Tianqi. I am afraid no one had thought about this ending in advance, but now, the fact is right in front of me, and Liuhe has changed the world.
My son is promising, and I am not very happy. Lu Qian really wants to order someone to call Lu Zheng back, but he can't do it at all now because the old man is still alive. Lu Shanchang said that no one can care about Lu Zheng's affairs, and he must not ignore the old man's words!
With a complicated mood, Lu Qian slowly walked out and headed straight for the old man.
At this time, Lu Shanchang was drinking tea with Hong Quan. Looking at his appearance, he was in a good mood. Hong Quan came to him and said, "Master, think about it, the annual tax of the entire Liuhe County is only more than 100,000 stones of grain, one stone of grain and one tael of silver, and the tax of Liuhe County is only more than 100,000 taels of silver.
But Brother Zheng made more than 300,000 taels of silver after making a few pieces of land, which was equivalent to the total taxes of a county in Liuhe for three years. Such a method can be said to be a turbulent rain and is amazing!"
Lu Shanchang stroked his long beard with his hand and said, "It's interesting, it's really interesting. I haven't lived as happy as I am today for a long time.
Hong Quan'er, do you know? Some time ago, Gu Tianyang, this old guy, actually went to our Ministry of Revenue, and he forced Ruan Jingnian to make a big noise, helping me get angry.
Think about it, how rare this is. When did Gu Tianyang become so kind? All this made Brother Zheng make a fuss. Something happened to Liuhe. The old guy felt that the Jiangnan powerhouse was weak and that he thought of our old families. Otherwise, he wouldn't understand now!"
Hong Quan said: "Congratulations to Master, Master He Xi, there are successors in the Lu family. Brother Zheng is doing so beautifully. But this time, he is dominant in Liuhe, and he doesn't look down on our Jiangning side!"
"That's right! Jiang Ning looked down on him and let him break through himself. The family cannot restrain him. This is exactly what I need! Look, after the Liuhe incident came to an end, there will be another storm. At that time, Brother Zheng will completely break up with Dai Xiang. By that time, he happened to be a high school scholar. Haha, the time is just right!" Lu Shanchang said, and he spoke frantically, Hong Quan seemed to understand it.
At this time, Lu Qian came. When he heard the conversation between Lu Shanchang and Hong Quan outside, he felt even more nervous. He wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought about it, he couldn't speak up some words and came in again.
"Father!" Lu Qian saluted respectfully.
The smile on Lu Shanchang's face gradually faded and he said, "What's the matter? Did you have any thoughts when you heard about Liuhe?"
Lu Qian said: "Father, the child thinks that Lu Zheng is young after all. If he is allowed to act recklessly outside like this, he may be used by others. No matter what, he is a member of my Lu family. If he is involved in some disputes that should not be involved, our Lu family cannot get rid of it, that would be a big trouble!"
"Hmph!" Lu Shanchang snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong? At this time, do you think he is your son? What did you do back then? When you sent him to Yangzhou, why didn't you understand this at that time?
Hey, he made achievements outside and had a promising future. You felt your face was naked. At this time, I thought about picking him up. What have you done long ago?
It’s really hard for a person like you to give birth to a son like Zheng Geer. It’s because of this that I think you have made considerable contributions to the family after all, but if your mentality is not correct and you can’t adjust well, hehe, don’t blame me, the father, for not giving you a chance!”
Lu Shanchang said this very seriously. Lu Qian felt cold sweat behind his back when he heard it. He didn't understand why the old man was so confused?
Lu Zheng has such momentum now. If his family can guide him well and then train him carefully, Lu Zheng will definitely have a future in the future. By that time, the revival of the Lu family will no longer be empty talk.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the Lu family can produce a supporting prime minister, the Lu family will surely prosper. Now the old man lets a boy who is only sixteen years old outside. Even if Lu Zheng is a genius, he is only sixteen years old. Can he achieve inner balance in the face of fame and fortune?
Hong Quan watched the father and son squat again, and he hurriedly came over and said, "Second Master, it's getting late, so you'd better go back and rest early!
Second Master, don’t worry, the old man asked me to stare at Brother Zheng at all times. I can even know the slightest movement of Brother Zheng.
Your thoughts are clear, but the old man has his own ideas. I hope you can understand the old man’s painstaking efforts!”
"Old thing!" Lu Qian stared at Hong Quan and cursed in his heart. He regarded Hong Shen as his confidant, but he only had deep hatred for Hong Quan.
Because in the old man's mind, these sons of the Lu family are not trustworthy. Lu Shanchang only trusts Hong Quan and leaves all the big and small things to Hong Quan to do. Lu Qian is in charge of the family in name, but he is in charge of trivial matters. He can't touch any of the important and core matters of the family!
Lu Qian knew that the Lu family still had a secret force, including intelligence, assassination, death warriors, and even a small number of private soldiers.
The one who controls this power is Hong Quan. Hong Quan can know everything that happened in Jiangnan before Lu Qian. If the old man at home didn't want Lu Qian to know anything, Lu Qian would often be kept in the dark.
With Hong Quana, his family member died in name only!
