Chapter 80

A few days passed, and Liu Feiyun did not tease Han Dongcheng again these days because he was already ill in bed and had gone to see him. His face was pale. Liu Feiyun was really afraid that he would be killed by accident.

Besides, Han Dongcheng has been taking leave these days and needs to do everything by himself. It can be said that he is taking it upon himself. Fortunately, the spring plowing has not come at this time, otherwise he would not have been busy with himself.

When he got home from get off work, Lin Yuxue immediately took the official uniform he had changed, put on casual clothes for him, and then handed him a letter: "Brother Yun, Brother Liu and the others have come back."

Liu Feiyun pecked Lin Yuxue's mouth and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you can sit down too, don't be tired."

"It's so bad." Lin Yuxue said coquettishly, but she didn't sit down. Instead, she stood behind him and pinched his shoulders.

Liu Feiyun had long been used to this, so he patted her hand gently, and then opened the letter and started reading it.

"Brother Yun, what did Brother Liu say in his letter?"

"Mainly talking about the current situation of war in various countries, let us be more careful just in case."

Liu Feiyun did not hide it. Before, Liu Shuhan sent many letters, all of which were conveying about the war.

"How is the situation?" The war is cruel. Lin Yuxue has never experienced it, but she has seen many refugees who have been caused by the war and has also heard of many bloody wars. She is worried that the war will spread to them.

Liu Feiyun patted her hand again: "Don't worry, the army of Xihao Kingdom is very strong. The countries in the Western Regions are still wandering around the borders and have repelled and annihilated many Western Regions coalition forces."

"The situation in the north is also good. Although the momentum is huge, the countries in the Central Plains are not vegetarians. Besides, even if there is a problem in the north and cross-region, the barbarians on the northern grasslands cannot reach the Xihao Kingdom. Don't worry."

After listening to Liu Feiyun's analysis, Lin Yuxue felt relieved: "That's good, alas, good life, why do you always start a war and kill many lives?"

Liu Feiyun did not answer this stupid question, thinking to himself: "It is because life is difficult to live, and there will be war. They are for a better life."

"By the way, Brother Yun, I heard from the servants in the mansion that the county magistrate is sick?"

"Yes, but there is a reason for getting sick."

"Um?"

Liu Feiyun's words made Lin Yuxue confused. He did not hide it, including saying everything about going out that night, with a relaxed look on his face: "Xiaoxue, are you interested?"

"Brother Yun, why is this county magistrate like this? He didn't make things difficult for you." Lin Yuxue didn't care at all about whether it was fun or not, but was afraid that her husband would be hurt.

"Don't worry, he fell ill without seeing him. I'm not a bully." Liu Feiyun clenched his fists and showed his strength. Perhaps he would only have this desire to show his feelings in front of his wife.

"Yes." Lin Yuxue realized that Han Dongcheng was ill, so her husband must be fine, but she still reminded: "Brother Yun, you can't be careless. If a rabbit is anxious, it will bite people, let alone people. He comes from the Han family, but he is not alone."

"I know what to do. It's almost done. Eat first, otherwise it will be cold and it won't taste good."

"Yeah, OK."

The two of them performed a warm scene, while Han Dongcheng, who was suffering on the other side, was lying on the bed with a pale face and drinking millet porridge.

"Who is the one who is secretly trying?" Han Dongcheng, who was lying on the bed, thought about it, and coughed from time to time. Compared to a few days ago, it is much better now.

"Is it from a hostile family?" Han Dongcheng thought that the possibility was not high. Those people should be disdainful of such a modest and inferior method. Then who would he not offend anyone here?

"Liu Feiyun?" Han Dongcheng thought of his goal again, "Has he discovered that he was trying to give himself a warning, or was he going to let himself retreat?"

I can't figure out where I had a flaw. It seems that Liu Feiyun is not simple, his origin cannot be found in the family, and where are his two brothers at this moment?

"It seems that I have to find some time to test it, otherwise I will always be in my mind."

Liu Feiyun would never have thought that Han Dongcheng was so difficult to fool. He would verify it whenever he had a guess in his mind.

The illness was like a thread removal. This time, he fell ill and recovered. Han Dongcheng only returned to normal seven days later. And he immediately came to the government office and found Liu Feiyun.

"Brother Dongcheng is in good health?" Liu Feiyun said carelessly when he saw him come in.

"It's better, thank you Brother Feiyun for your care." Han Dongcheng smiled and said, "That's right. This time I came here mainly to ask Brother Feiyun for advice. After all, I'm going to be spring farming soon. I don't know much about this. Feiyun was doing it before, and I hope I can give some advice."

"Of course there is no problem with this." Liu Feiyun didn't expect that Han Dongcheng was here to test him, so he had to hide these things and explained them to him in detail.

At the end, Han Dongcheng thanked: "Thank you, Brother Feiyun. I will help you if you have any requests in the future."

"You're welcome." Liu Feiyun didn't care.

"Then I'll go back first, Feiyun doesn't need to be sent." Han Dongcheng turned around and wanted to leave, but he turned back as soon as he took a step.

Liu Feiyun said wonderingly: "Is there anything else to do with Brother Dongcheng?"

"That's right. I wasn't suffering from the cold a while ago, but I was attacked by a group of masked people. This group of people did everything they could. It's very hateful. Brother Feiyun needs to be more careful."

"I will pay more attention to this. I didn't expect that since there are such people in Bailu County, we must investigate thoroughly." Liu Feiyun pretended to be serious, as if he was not aware of it at all.

"That's good, then I'll say goodbye first." Han Dongcheng laughed and then left without stopping.

Watching Han Dongcheng leave, Liu Feiyun's expression became inexplicable, and he thought: "Have he discovered that he is here to test himself?"

Liu Feiyun thought about it at this time. His plan seemed to be full of loopholes. In Bailu County, or even Liuzhou County, there would be those who knew Han Dongcheng's identity, but it seemed that only his family would cause trouble for him. After all, he was here to cause trouble for himself.

"It seems to be true." Liu Feiyun was almost certain. He needed to restrain himself next, but he also needed to increase the monitoring efforts. This person is really hard to fool.

After Han Dongcheng clicked out of Liu Feiyun's office, Ben's smiling face changed color instantly and said gloomy: "It's you, you are undoubtedly. Although it is well concealed, the fluctuations in his eyes cannot deceive people."

He quickly returned to his house, and his five fingers hit the table regularly: "The strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. How did he know that he is going to deal with him? This place is his territory. It is not easy to deal with after his whereabouts are exposed!"

"But since he has not identified the conflict between the two sides, he thinks he will not show up with him now. He will keep the status quo first and then ask for help from his family."

Half a month passed, and Liu Feiyun received another letter, which stated that the war had escalated again, especially the grassland tribe, which had once again increased by 500,000 troops, which was the rhythm of breaking through the border city.

"It should be soon." Liu Feiyun knew that this war would not be delayed for too long, and the countries were unwilling to let it go. At this time, there was no so-called war wealth. The Central Plains pursued the so-called Confucianism and Taoism. In the past, after defeating these barbarians, they could seize at most spoils without letting them cede land and pay compensation.

Then the longer you continue to fight, the more you lose.

Liu Feiyun was speechless: "Those colonists in the previous life who defeated the country were not profitable, but like now, they just guarded the city and did not know how to do it once and for all."

Their hearts will be different if they are not our race. They will not give up the opportunity to plunder because of the kindness of the countries in the Central Plains. As long as you have a weak day, it will be the time for the army to move south.

In fact, Xihao Kingdom is not having a good time now. Although the military power is extremely strong at this time, the war against Ziyun Kingdom only harvested land and population, and the money is still in the hands of those aristocratic families. As for the treasury of Ziyun Kingdom, it was moved clean long before the country fell apart.

Ancient language: Being war will perish, whether it is active or passive. As long as the war starts, the national strength is consumed. In today's environment, this sentence is not wrong.

Xihao Kingdom has no money, or the treasury has begun to be empty. The military, armor, food, and food pay are hundreds of thousands of people, and it consumes hundreds of thousands or even millions of qian per month. With other expenses, no amount of money can be consumed.

However, the countries in the Western Regions are located at a high level, easy to defend but difficult to attack. According to the advancement of the emperor of the Western Regions, if it is feasible, they will be included in the country once and for all. However, geographical restrictions can only be passively beaten.

Zhu Hongtian has even sent a letter of military service to prepare to fight to determine the world, completely defeat the disabled Western Regions coalition forces, and the sergeants go home to farm and enjoy their health.

However, increasing troops requires military pay, which is another huge expense. The country can afford it, but the treasury is empty after all, so at least the remaining ones must be left to prevent accidents.

So the prime minister thought of a solution. In the court, Qin Bin said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate a thousand tuitions to serve the empire."

"My family is poor, but the state needs it, so I am willing to donate all the property." An emperor chose to follow the prime minister and donated it again, and the donation was so cruel and dedicated.

These words made Zhu Hongtian, who was on the dragon throne, cheered: "Okay, okay, good, I will remember it in my heart for my dear friends."

Immediately afterwards, many people were loyal, some were trustworthy, and some were sincere. However, the emperor's eyes were staring at the officials of the aristocratic families, smiling.

The purpose of today's court meeting is to let these people speak up. If you want to be rich, you will be the only royal family in China.

"My family background is limited, but I am willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to the country." said an official from one of the aristocratic families.

As the emperor's eyes swept over, they had to donate the money with great distress, and they couldn't be too stingy. After all, everyone understood that, but they just tacitly understood it.

Finally, it was the eight major families, and this was the richest master.

"I am willing to invest 100,000 taels to help Your Majesty defeat the Western Barbarians." Liu Hong, the head of the Liu family, one of the eight major families, said for good luck.

"Yeah, it's not bad." Zhu Hongtian nodded for sure. It was not a lot, but he barely met his expectations.

Seeing this, several other aristocratic families also spoke one after another: "I am willing to share the worries of the country and donate 100,000 taels."

Han Lei, the head of the Han family, spoke out the last time, and then he thought about it and reported: "Your Majesty, I am a matter of course for sharing the worries of the country. Recently, I heard that Liu Feiyun, a man in Bailu County, opened a shopping mall in Bailu County, earning money every day and contributing huge taxes to the country. However, the country has worries and needs to serve. Since he is a noble man in the empire, he naturally cannot stay out of the matter."

Han Lei just received a letter from his son. At this moment, it happened to be an opportunity, and at least it would make the kid lose money.

"Oh!" Han Lei's words made Zhu Hongtian think of the baron he had named, but he didn't care too much, and said casually: "Then let the Lords of the Empire spend some money and consider the amount for themselves."

Even though he said that, Zhu Hongtian was confident that everyone dared to fool him.
