The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 25: Chashan Meeting
"Patriarch, did the ancestor say anything else?" Second Master Qing said anxiously.

Second Uncle's dream, coupled with Lu Changle's recent enlightened performance, Second Master Qing believed it.

Ancestors have appeared, and the Lu family in Fuzhou is expected to prosper, can you not be excited?

Lu Changle thought for a while, and quickly said: "The ancestors said that in the battle of Songmian, the Ming Dynasty would lose, Jianlu would take the opportunity to sweep the Central Plains, Li Thief killed a senior official of the second rank in Xiangcheng, and the others were gone. The ancestors said that there is no time. More, talk about it later"

If the ancestors could entrust a dream, they would naturally be able to "entrust" a second dream, and put the key down first.

If the trajectory of history remains unchanged,
In August, Daming lost the pine brocade war which was related to the fate of the country, step by step towards extinction,

In September, Li Zicheng's troops gathered tens of thousands of Ming troops in Xiangcheng and killed Fu Zonglong, governor of Shaanxi;
Lu Changle completely established his prestige in the way that his ancestors entrusted his dreams,
With prestige, many things can go smoothly.

Second Master Qing couldn't believe it and said: "Those Jian captives are really good, this, this"

Even if Lu Changle said that the ancestors had repaid the dream, Second Master Qing still couldn't believe that the Ming Dynasty would change hands.

The second uncle squinted his eyes and said: The imperial army has already marched to Liaodong. Whoever wins and who loses will surely have a result soon. Just do what you have to do now and just wait for the news. "

This proposal is good, and everyone nodded in agreement.

After discussing some details, the meeting ended, and we kept a wake and offered incense to our ancestors together.

When the Lu family in Fuzhou held a secret meeting, in a secluded house in Changle City,
Fan Sanbo, the young owner of Fan's firm, walked to a tea room, did not enter the door, and said respectfully through the bead curtain: "Qiong Biao pays homage to Mr. Wen."

A deep voice came from inside the door: "How is the situation?"

"Second Master Zheng has left Changle by boat, and he took Wen Jun with him when he left."

Zheng Du died of a male favorite, Fan Sanbo managed to send a carefully selected book boy,

Wen Jun was even more handsome than the dead captain, and Mr. Zheng accepted it happily.

Mr. Wen still said in a calm tone: "Very good, don't rush to start, let him get a firm foothold first."

"Yes, Mr. Wen." Fan San dialed in response, and quickly said, "Qiong Biao said hello to Zhou Xiancheng and Master Qian, and put pressure on them before talking about the tea mountain. This time, we will definitely win it smoothly. "

Fan Sanbo has been coveting the tea mountain that can produce tribute tea for a long time, but the Lu family is not willing to sell it at all.

This time I finally got my wish.

"Lu Yuanfeng, he's dead," Mr. Wen said unhurriedly.

Fan San poked his heart, not daring to speculate: "What do you mean, sir?"

"The Lu family in Fuzhou is a local big family, and there are many good people in the family. They are dissatisfied with the court and the Zheng family, and they are just for our use. Putting aside the tea mountain, we will try our best to win over the Lu family in Fuzhou."

"Wen Xian is brilliant, and Qiong Biao admires it."

After waiting for a long time, there was no new instruction coming from inside, so Fan San dialed back quietly.

Mr. Wen in the room is very arrogant, Fan Sanbo is the young master, and he is not even allowed to enter the door when reporting, but Fan Sanbo dare not be dissatisfied in the slightest,

Even if my old man Fan Yongdou came, he would have to be respectful when he saw Mr. Wen.

As soon as he got out of the gate, Fan Sanbo immediately ordered his men to collect information related to Lu Changle.

Changle County, Shihuling.

Shihuling is an unattractive mountain in Changle County. It is famous for a huge rock on the top of the mountain that looks like a tiger.
If the mountain is not high, it will be named if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, it will be spirited if there are dragons.
Shihuling is not in a strange and dangerous place, but it is famous for its tribute tea Fangshan dew buds,
It is the tea mountain of Lu family in Fuzhou.

When Lu Changle came to Shihuling accompanied by Lu Changfu, his heart was heavy.

All the houses collapsed, and the workshop burned down to the point where only a few black pillars stood upright.

In the tea terraces, many young tea seedlings were trampled to death. The most heartbreaking thing was that a nearly 30-year-old tea tree was cut down.

These are the painstaking efforts of the Lu family.

Lu Changfu, who returned to Chashan again, his chubby face twitched from time to time,

Two fists clenched and then loosened,

Needless to say, I must think of what Zheng Du did in Chashan.

"Patriarch, I'm not optimistic about Chashan, you can punish me, I will accept any punishment." Lu Changfu said with a face of self-blame.

The situation at the scene was more serious than Lu Changfu had imagined, and it made me sad to see it.

Lu Changle patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Changfu, I don't blame you for this matter. In fact, you are also for the sake of the clan. If it were me, the consequences might be more serious. Don't blame yourself."

Zheng Du's people buy and sell by force, and Lu Changfu is also for the sake of the clan.

I really can't put the blame on him.

Lu Changfu nodded, said nothing, told Lu Changle, and took the old man from Chashan to clean up.

The old patriarch and several clansmen died tragically, many people were injured,
Everyone is busy dealing with funeral affairs, where can they care about the tea mountain?

If it hadn't been for the appointment of Fan Sanbo to come here to talk about selling tea, he would have been busy with his ancestor's affairs in the ancestral hall.

Seeing the burned houses and workshops, and looking at the bloodstains on the roadside stones that have not been cleaned, Lu Changle became more and more angry.
I swore secretly in my heart: Zheng Du, Zheng Du, if you fall into my hands, I promise I won't beat you to death with a stick, and I won't let you die so easily.

"Isn't this Mr. Lu? No, it's better to call him Patriarch Lu. Fan is late, please wait for a long time." Just as Lu Changle swore secretly, several people climbed up from the bottom of the mountain.

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

Lu Changle looked down and saw three people walking towards him.
The one who walked in the front was a man about [-] years old, wearing a straight green cloth dress and a square scarf on his head. He looked very kind.

The two people behind were wearing rough linen jackets and turbans, they looked like followers.

"Patriarch, the young owner of Fan's Commercial Firm is here," Lu Changfu reminded.

Lu Changle nodded and said: "Fan's firm has many branches in Fujian, and the business is booming. I didn't expect such a dignified young owner to travel so low-key."

Dress simply, and don't even bring a few servants and guards with you when you travel.

"Fan Shaodong's family is very easy-going, and they don't like to talk about ostentation." Lu Changfu explained: "He said that he was eating and drinking, so he might as well save the money and donate it to the orphanage, or repair bridges and roads. Many people in Fujian said he did it." He is honest in his business and willing to do good, he is a great benevolent person."

Leshan?Kindness?Good man?
Lu Changle sneered in his heart, others don't know who the Shanxi Fan family is, but he knows it best.

These are Fan Sanbo's disguises.

The battle of Liaodong was in full swing, Fan Sanbo was not active in Liaodong, but went to Fujian thousands of miles away,

What is the purpose?
In his heart, he wished to kill this traitor with a knife, but he didn't show it on his face, and he took the initiative to meet him: "Young Master's family has worked hard all the way, and there is a long way to go."

Don't rush to deal with him, let's see what he wants to do in Fujian.

After a few words of politeness, Lu Changle took the initiative to explain: "Something happened in the family, and the second uncle really couldn't leave, so I will come to meet the young master's family on behalf of the second uncle, don't mind."

"I don't mind, I don't mind." Fan Sanbo said regretfully: "Fan has also heard about the nobles, and feels the patriarch's feelings. If there is something useful for Fan, Patriarch Lu just speak up."

Mr. Wen changed his mind and tried his best to win over the Fuzhou Lu family for his own use.
Fan Sanbo also wanted to finish meeting the elders of the Lu clan, and then find a way to get close to Lu Changle in Xingping Village.

Unexpectedly, it was the new patriarch talking to him, and he really came up with whatever he wanted.

Lu Changle let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said: "The Lu family in Fuzhou is in bad luck, and they have suffered accidents one after another. In the future, the young master will take care of you."

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Fan Sanbo said kindly.

Lu Changle invited Fan Sanbo to sit down at the stone table, and asked someone to prepare tea.

The houses and processing workshops were all destroyed by Zheng Du's men, so they could only entertain Fan Sanbo outside.

"What a beautiful tea mountain, I didn't expect it to suffer such a catastrophe." Fan Sanbo took the initiative to find a topic.

Lu Changle said helplessly: "The people in the clan are all bad. They have eyes but don't know Mount Tai. Alas, disasters come flying."

"There are unpredictable things in the sky, but fortunately, the rain has passed and the sky is clear now, and Patriarch Lu's condolences are changing." Fan Sanbo said sincerely.

"After the rain is clear?" Lu Changle shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it's a leaky house and it's raining at night."

Fan Sanbo didn't answer the call this time, and there was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Fan Sanbo was very clear about the reason for Lu Changle's wry smile.

The Fuzhou Lu family fought with the Fuzhou Yang family, and lost both people and wealth.

Before he regained his vitality, the government came down with tax urging, and the Lu family raised money everywhere.
After finally getting some clues, and having to bear the anger of Zheng Du, the second son of the Zheng family,

Seeing that the signed contract is about to be breached, the government is ruthless,
Before Zheng San dialed to come to Chashan, Bo, the owner of money in Changle County, went to Xingping Village to collect money under his instruction.
The Lu family in Fuzhou had fallen into a desperate situation, and only then did Fan Sanbo appear like a savior.

The patriarch of the Lu clan did not come, and was replaced by the new patriarch Lu Changle,
It is estimated that there is really no way to be forced,

Talk to someone who can make a direct decision.

　Writing a book is not easy,
　　Collection tickets are required, and a small reward is even better.

　　Is there anyone who can support Xiaopao?

　　no i'll ask later
