The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 24 Ancestor Dreams
After a little thought, Lu Changle decided to meet Fan Sanbai for a while.

"Second Uncle, the family cannot do without you now. I will go to Fan Shaodong's house for you tomorrow."

"That's great. With the patriarch coming out, I don't have to worry about my old bones." The second uncle readily agreed.

The funeral of the old patriarch needs to be presided over by an old man who understands etiquette, and the second uncle can't leave. It would be best if Lu Changle was willing to go.

"Patriarch, you seem to be very interested in this young master." Lu Jinyuan said with some doubts.

When the second uncle mentioned Fan Sanbo, Lu Jinyuan noticed that Lu Changle's expression was obviously different.

Lu Changle did not deny it: "Uncle Yuan is right, he is indeed interested, does anyone know about this young master?"

"Patriarch, the tea business of Fan's Trading Company is doing very well. I manage the tea mountain, so I can be regarded as a colleague, and I know him quite well." Lu Changfu, who must have seldom opened his mouth, suddenly spoke.

"Brother Changfu, tell me, tell me as much as you know." Lu Changle's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

Finally, there is someone who understands, which can save a lot of effort.

Lu Changfu nodded, organized a little, and quickly said: "Fan's business is doing a lot of business. In addition to the Dayuchuan tea shop, it also deals in grain, oil, salt, silk, fur, groceries, crude medicine, etc. It is said that the shops are all over the world. , every prefecture in Fujian has the business of Fan’s firm.”

"Fan Yongdou, the owner, was originally from Jiexiu, Shanxi Province. As early as the early Ming Dynasty, the Fan family did business in Zhangjiakou and Mongolia. After seven generations, Fan Yongdou became a rich Han businessman in Zhangjiakou area who traded with Manchuria and Mongolia. He was called Jia Yu at that time. Frontier town, with faith"

"Fan Shaodong's business is done with integrity. Not only is he generous, but he is also willing to do good. Everyone has a good impression of him."

"Fan Shaodong's family is just a businessman on the surface, but in fact they have powerful means. Many generals in the government and the army sold his face. Last year, the cavalry of Fan's business was robbed. goods."

Lu Changle kept nodding while listening.

Fan Sanbo personally sits in Fujian, and continues to win over local officials and military generals in Fujian. His ambition is not small.

Lu Changle waited for Lu Changfu to finish speaking, then turned his head and said to Lu Jinyuan: "Uncle Yuan, find some smart people and find out why Zheng Du appeared in Chang'an County. , and who is instigating behind the scenes."

Others don't know who Fan Sanbo is, but Lu Changle knows it all too well.

The government is urging taxes, and Fan Sanbo intends to take over Chashan at a price that is [-]% higher than others.

At the critical moment, Zheng Du made a big fuss in Chashan,

Things are too coincidental.

Lu Jinyuan's expression froze, and he quickly said, "Okay, I'll arrange someone to investigate right away."

"Be careful when you do the investigation, the Zheng family is too powerful, it might cause trouble to your upper body." Lu Changle thought for a while, and quickly said: "It's best not to use our Lu family members, and it doesn't matter if you spend some money."

Zheng Du killed people in Xingping Village, even the head of the Lu family in Fuzhou, so he must have been on guard.

If the matter about him is found out, with Zheng Du's character of vengeance, the Lu family in Fuzhou will be in danger.

Lu Jincheng thought for a while, and quickly said with confidence: "Patriarch, I have a friend named Gan Hui. He is not only good at martial arts, he is a man of righteousness and a hero, and he has a wide range of people. You must be looking for him."

"Okay, I'll trouble Uncle Yuan this time."

"The patriarch's words are serious, this is what I should do."

Everyone discussed the countermeasures for a while, and Lu Changle suddenly said with a serious face: "Elders, the Ming Dynasty is about to run out, and the building is about to collapse. As the saying goes, there are eggs under the overturned nest. If it gets worse, our Lu family must make early plans."

Jianlu has become the climate. After the Songjin World War I, the strength will become stronger and stronger.

If you want to make a difference in troubled times, you have to hurry up.

Don't look at the fact that the clan elders and heads of all the houses support him now, but it is actually because of the face of the ancestors,
It's not a big deal when the bones are still cold, no one will fight against Lu Changle at this time,
When the ancestors were buried, how many of these clan elders and house heads would listen to him, Lu Changle really didn't know what to do.

Lu Changle decided to use his second generation's advantages as a human being to give some strong medicine to the senior executives of the Lu family.

"The building will collapse?" The second uncle shook his head and said, "Daming has been in so much turmoil for so many years, isn't Jiangshan still surnamed Zhu now? It will calm down soon."

"The little Jianlu is just a domestic slave of the Ming Dynasty. Is the patriarch a little worried about how long he can live?" Uncle Fat also agreed with the second uncle's point of view.

Master Qing said confidently: "Fujian is a blessed land. They beat theirs, and we pass ours. Mr. Zheng is here, so it's safe."

Lu Jinqing also has confidence in the imperial court: "This time the imperial court has mobilized 30 troops to support Jinzhou. The local chickens and dogs like Jianlu will definitely not be able to resist. This time, we will not only solve the siege of Jinzhou, but also give up the old nest of Jianlu. gone."

Everyone felt that Lu Changle was alarmist, and they didn't agree with his point of view.

Lu Jinyuan, who has always supported Lu Jinyuan, said with some doubts: "Patriarch, where do you start with your words? Is there any basis?"

In the past, no one would believe Lu Changle's words, maybe he would be rewarded twice, telling him to speak well, and be careful not to make trouble out of his mouth.

Recently, Lu Changle performed really well. He robbed the arena, raised tax money, moved rescuers, and helped the Fuzhou Lu family overcome difficulties several times.

Now Lu Changle is still the successor appointed by the old patriarch, so we must respect it.

"There are some things, I don't know whether to say it or not"

"Say what you want, I can't write two characters in one stroke, everyone here is your blood relatives," Fatty encouraged.

If there was no Lu Changle, his son Changfu would cause even more trouble. After Lu Changle became the patriarch, he still respected and valued Lu Changfu.

Uncle Fatty was secretly grateful and supported Lu Changle all the time.

"Don't be afraid, you can say anything. Now it's a matter of discussion, not a crime. The patriarch has no restrictions." Second Master Qing also spoke.

Lu Changle looked around, and said with some hesitation: "I don't know how to start, didn't I get injured the day I fought with Mrs. Yang? At that time, my head hurt so badly, and I was in a daze. An old man fell from the sky, that old man. It is exactly the same as the portrait hanging in the middle of the ancestral hall."

"The old man told me so much, and even touched my head. It was really mysterious. My head, which was hurting so much, suddenly stopped hurting, and I became more enlightened when thinking about things."

"Really?" The second uncle stood up all of a sudden, his old hazy eyes gleamed, and asked quickly, "You said that the Daming Building will collapse, is that what the old man in the portrait told you?"

"Yes" Lu Changle nodded without hesitation.

Traveling through this kind of thing, others will not believe it, maybe it will be burnt to death by a demon,

In the period of underdeveloped technology, such mysterious and mysterious things are easy to be trusted.
There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, you can only "psychic" to the end.

"Hahaha, the ancestor is manifesting, the ancestor is manifesting." The second uncle clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "My old bone has never been able to figure out why Brother Le suddenly became enlightened. It’s Brother Le, no, it should be the patriarch.”

"Second Uncle, how do you say that?" Lu Jinyuan asked with some doubts.

Everyone looked at Second Uncle.

The person on the portrait is the ancestor of the Lu family of the Fu family. He was the first to go to Fu'an, and then spread his branches and leaves. How many years has it been since he died, and the second uncle can still talk to the ancestor?
The second uncle said devoutly: "On the night when I had a big fight with Mrs. Yang, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw a person in front of me. His back was very similar to that of our ancestors. I chased him up and saw that he was really my ancestor. I begged for my ancestors' protection." To help the Lu family tide over the difficulties, the ancestor laughed and said that there are young people in the family who can shoulder the responsibility, so let me just wait and see."

"After the ancestor finished speaking, he even pushed me. I woke up at that time. I have been observing the younger generation in the clan these days. I believe everyone already knows who this younger generation is."

No way, such a coincidence?
Lu Changle was a little dumbfounded, he needed the support of his clansmen to achieve something big, so he made up a story, such a coincidence, second uncle also dreamed?
Is it the second uncle who thinks day by day and dreams at night, or is he a man who secretly helps him?
No matter what, with my second uncle's divine assistance this time, my position is not only stable, but also has an extra layer of protection.

In the future, whoever dares to question himself will use the ancestor Tuomeng as an argument.

To fight against oneself is to fight against Lu's ancestors, let's see who has the courage.
