The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 15 Can you raise money even if you fight?

Lu Changle handed the basket of steamed buns to Skinny Monkey, and said casually: "What to say when you go back, that's your business, I don't care, the old ancestor said, you have to listen to me when you go out, no matter whether you eat steamed buns or not, as long as you eat Will give me work in the city."

The smell of the steamed stuffed bun is too tempting, with the instructions of the ancestors,
To eat or not to work,
No one listened to Lu Changhe anymore, grabbed the buns and devoured them hungrily.

At first, Lu Changhe was hesitant to eat the meat buns brought back by Lu Changle, but when he saw the brothers eating one by one, the corners of their mouths were dripping,

I also thought that buying steamed stuffed buns was paid by my ancestors, and if I ate more, Lu Changle would eat less.
I didn't insist anymore, and ate three big meat buns in one go.

"Brother Changle, have you found a job in the city? What are we going to do in the city?" The thin monkey asked curiously while eating.

Lu Changle said surprisingly: "Fight!"

Everyone stopped for a moment and looked at Lu Changle in surprise.

The thin monkey hesitated and said, "Brother Changle, are you kidding me?"

"Look at me, do you look like a joke?"

Lu Changsheng curled his lips: "Brother Changle, did you get bullied for drinking flower wine last night?"

"What flower wine to drink, am I that kind of person?"

I just ate meat buns, and everyone didn't say it out of face, but everyone's eyes had the meaning of "you are such a person".

"Did you see those bastards surnamed Yang, fuck them?" The militant Lu Changqing began to rub his fists.

"Brother Changle, are you doing business without capital? Do you want to get a mask?" Sanbao, who rarely spoke, said nervously.

These guys have really big brains.

Lu Changle waved his hand and said, "Think about it individually, just do what I say later."

"That's good, why do you want to fight, and go to the city to fight, don't you want to kill us?" Lu Changhe said with a look of vigilance.

The matter was revealed, and you want to put all your brothers in the prison of the county government?
Everyone stared at Lu Changle, and they also wanted to know the reason.

This Lu Changhe, is he not happy if he doesn't fight with him?
"Changhe, let me ask you, what are we doing in the county?" Lu Changle pondered for a while, and then spoke quickly.

The matter is of great importance, and they have to be persuaded to cooperate well.

"Raising money" Lu Changhe replied without thinking.

"Good answer." Lu Changle clapped his hands and said quickly, "If I say that we can raise a lot of money with just one fight, will you do it?"

"A lot of money? How much?"

Lu Changle thought for a while, and said confidently: "If it goes well, this crisis of the Lu family can be resolved."

"Really? You won't lie to us, will you?" Lu Changhe said suspiciously.

"My surname is Lu, and the blood shed is from the Lu family in Fuzhou, and I worship the ancestral hall of the Lu family in Fuzhou. Why are you lying to me? I'm not afraid of breaking the family rules."

"Go ahead, as long as you can raise money, let alone fight, you can even let someone kill you." Lu Changhe thought for a while, and finally said seriously.

Changsheng, Changzhen, and Sanbao also expressed their opinions one after another, as long as they can raise money, they can do anything.

If it was before, I definitely wouldn't have believed Lu Changle,

Communicating with the missionaries of the Yi people and winning the arena by surprise, these two things completely changed the tribe's view of Lu Changle,
Don't look at Lu Changhe cursing all day long, dissatisfied with Lu Changle in various ways, but he just doesn't leave the mountain temple for half a step.

"Okay, remember what you said, and just do as I said later."

Speaking of this, Lu Changle said with a serious face: "It doesn't matter what everyone thinks, it doesn't matter what you say when you go back, it's wrong to judge your own ancestors and clan elders, if anyone doesn't listen, it will ruin the big event, and the clan rules will never show mercy .”

As soon as they heard the family rules, everyone quickly said that they dare not,
Including Lu Changhe, who has always been a naysayer.

In Changle City, inspector Lin Dayong was lazily leaning against a banyan tree by the side of the road, biting a mustache he had just brought from a food stall.

The patrol inspection is only the ninth grade, smaller than a sesame seed, and they say that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
High-ranking officials dare not offend, but when dealing with ordinary people, they must be sure.

Lin Dayong never gave money for a mustard pancake or a bowl of mutton soup.

It's a pity that there are too many nobles in the city, and there are also many relatives who have been transferred seven or eight doors,

The poor cannot extract oil, and the rich mostly have backers or backgrounds,
Lin Dayong's ninth-rank inspection is in a state of neither being hungry nor able to sustain himself.

Calm, another boring day.

"Inspector Lin, you can still eat, haven't you heard?" Lu Changle suddenly walked over from the side, and said with a worried expression.

"Master Lu, what did you hear?"

Yesterday Lu Changle invited Lin Dayong to eat and drink again, and even asked the waiter to pack a few bags of exquisite pastries to take home. Lin Dayong was also more polite to Lu Changle.

Speaking so seriously, someone speaks ill of him behind his back?

Lu Changle looked around, and said in a low voice: "When I was eating at Huji Noodle Soup Restaurant, I heard some people saying that you are so bold that you dare to beat the wind even in the Qian family's business. The owner of Qian has spoken, and you have to put it in the examination book. Let me teach you a lesson."

"Damn it, I didn't even drink a cup of hot tea, so I took a sip, what's the matter?" Lin Dayong panicked when he heard that.

Qian Zhubo is the third person in the county government. He has been an official in Changle County for many years and has many contacts.
He still has the power of assessment in his hand, and it is said that there are people above him,

To handle yourself, like playing the same.

"This Mrs. Qian, why is she so small-minded? I didn't dare to answer a word after being scolded by her, so why did I just hold on to it? Alas, what should I do?" Lin Dayong said to himself in panic.

I was unlucky last year, and accidentally offended the person in the state government, and got a grade C evaluation.

If we don't get another good evaluation this year, I'm afraid that the inspection seat will be over.

Giving gifts to Qian Bo?

If you don’t get enough gifts, you won’t be able to escape the eyes of the money owner Bo;
If you send too much, isn't that cutting your own flesh?

Just when Lin Dayong was in trouble, Lu Changle suddenly said: "Inspector Lin, I have a way to ensure that the owner of money will calm down, and maybe even praise you for your ability."

"Oh, what is the solution, tell me quickly." As soon as Lin Dayong heard that there was a solution, Lin Dayong regained his energy immediately.

Lu Changle pointed to the front, and said in a low voice: "Those are brothers from my clan, they have caused me a lot of trouble, I have long wanted to teach them a lesson, inspector Lin, I will go find something later, and motivate them to do it, do it Governor Shi Lin appeared and fined them to clean up all the shops on Changle Street on the grounds of deliberately causing trouble."

"By the way, the river in front of the gate will also punish them to clean it up. In this way, the inspector can sell the money owner Bo and do a good deed for those noble people. I think they won't be able to embarrass you anymore. As for me , by the way."

"Young Master Lu has already opened his mouth. Mr. Lin will definitely help with this, haha." Lin Dayong just pondered for a while, and readily agreed.

Lu Changle was obsessed with eating, drinking and having fun for a while, and he didn't think about making progress. His tribe had a lot of opinions on him, and Lin Dayong also knew about it.

Using his own hands to "revenge private revenge", Lin Dayong would not mind doing a little favor even if he didn't please Mr. Qian.
Get a group of free laborers for Changhe Street to clean up the street and clean up the sundries for them. Qian Zhubo and those noble people will definitely be happy,
If you don't need the county government to allocate money, you can do the dredging work well, and it counts as your own political achievements.

The children of the Lu family who made troubles did not put them in prison, but punished them to do some work, and no one wentssip when it spread.

The Lu family of Fu'an has to thank his subordinates for their mercy, maybe there will be filial piety to send,

He also repaid Lu Changle for treating him to dinner,

Simply serve multiple purposes.

After the discussion, Lin Dayong went to a corner to hide, and Lu Changle went directly to the clan brothers who were walking together.

The development of the matter was the same as what Lu Changle said, and I don't know what Lu Changle said to the clan brothers. They argued and dragged at first, and finally scuffled on the spot.

Inspector Lin Dayong appeared in time to stop them, and then announced in public that those who fight and cause trouble in the street will be punished to clean up the sanitation of Changhe Street.

With this decision, all the merchants on Changhe Street were overjoyed.
The shopkeeper of Jincuipu, who has never shown a good face, gave Lin Dayong a cup of hot tea for the first time.

Lu Changhe and the others were about to faint from anger.
I thought I was going to the city to do some earth-shattering event, but I didn't expect it to be street sweeping.

A few people cleaned the entire Changhe Street. The street had to be swept clean, and every shop had to be cleaned for others.

Storefronts, backyards, and processing workshops must be cleaned, and the cracks in the bricks must not be overlooked. They must be cleaned until the store is satisfied.
The huts of the shops must not be leaked, they must be cleaned.

Even the river in front of Changhe Street needs to be cleaned up. After the water is drained, the silt will be cleaned up and transported away.

After doing all this, Lu Changle is not satisfied,
Collect the soil, garbage and feces from the cleaning, sort and pile them up, and pull them all away.

Isn't this making you feel uncomfortable?

Sweeping the ground, digging a canal, is this raising money for the clan?

Killing Lu Zhang and they didn't believe it either.

Everyone protested, but Lu Changle suppressed them with clan rules.

Lu Changle also said that whoever dares to sneak away is openly challenging the family rules and will not be forgiven lightly.

In this way, no matter how angry the crowd is, they dare not run away.

If you run away, you may be removed from the genealogy if you are serious.

If he was expelled from the family tree, he would definitely be the first to beat him to death without doing it himself.

Fortunately, the river is called the Changhe, but it is actually a canal dug for fire prevention. It is only about three feet wide and fifty feet long, otherwise it would be exhausting.

When everyone was complaining, Lu Changle hired a carriage by himself, and Shi Shiran came to the front door of the house of Yang Zhengrong, the patriarch of Shurong Village.
