Chapter 181: Conspiracy to Guiling County
Eat well and sleep steadily. Song Qi has never enjoyed such a life since the Yupanshan Camp was lost. The top priority he does every day is either to strengthen the city walls, hoard food and grass, or rectify the city defense. What he knows is to guard against the Wei army's enemy, and those who don't know think that this rough body wants to rebel.`
But then again, although Ying Guang abducted many young and strong people in the city and made him very upset, with him blocking the Wei army in Yupan Mountain, he became much more idle here. Once he considered this from this perspective, Song Qi would have much less resentment towards Ying Guang, and maybe it would be good to be the governor of Taiping County.
A few days ago, I heard that the State of Wei sent another army here. In the middle of the night, the direction of the Yupanshan Camp was burning red. Song Qi was so nervous that he didn't sleep all night. He put on his armor and held a sword on the top of the city all night, for fear that the Yupanshan Camp would fall again, but until dawn, he got a news that the Yupanshan Camp would win!
From this point of view, Ying Guang is not a good guy, and there are still some tricks.
It was a little cool in the morning. Song Qi came to the yard wearing a short suit. He had just pulled out his posture and was about to go on a fist and kick when suddenly there was a burst of noise coming from the next yard, and the noisy voices destroyed the tranquility of the morning.
Song Qi frowned and walked to the front hall. Seeing that the butler was busy on the side, he waved his hand and called him to his side and asked, "Why did the next house clamor early in the morning? What happened?"
The housekeeper shook his head and replied, "What big can those merchants have? If the master hadn't taken a fancy to this land, he wouldn't have the blessing of being the master's neighbor. I've already inquired about this matter yesterday. They have sold their house and are moving today. `I just didn't expect it to be so early, why don't the old servant come over and let them move later?"
"Forget it." Song Qi waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to do it first. He raised himself and returned to the back house. In his eyes, these were just small matters. He raised his eyes and passed, and it was not worthy of his attention.
At this time, at the foot of Yupan Mountain, a small carriage was swaying on the small road in front of the village facing the newborn Chaoyang. Lu Buwei was sitting in the car. Looking back on his father's advice to him before he came: Although he didn't understand why he wanted to buy a house next to Song Qi's mansion, I think Ying Guang's move must have a deep meaning. We can handle it first, but we also need a reason to do this. Just ask, I think he will give you an answer.
"Buy a house? Yes. I'm going to use it as a new house. When my happy day comes, Brother Lu must be there!"
Since the Wei soldiers retreated, Ying Guang has been living in the village at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Lu Buwei coming over early in the morning, he knew that Wu Zhe had borrowed the power of the Lu family and wanted to do this in a short time. Only a giant like the Lu family could do it. 8 Novels`
"On the day of the wedding, I naturally have to come to my house to ask for a wedding banquet, but I saw that the house was only medium-sized. Now there are fewer people, and it is better to have more people in the future. I will inevitably be more compact. I also have a house in the city, which is much bigger than the one you bought. If Brother Ying doesn't dislike it, just move to my place. If it's comfortable to live, it's okay to give it to Brother Ying!"
Lu Buwei said with a smile, as if what he gave out was not a mansion worth a thousand gold, but some valuable gadgets.
This wealthy family is really rich. Ying Guang smacked his lips and knew that Lu Buwei's intention was not to drink. He asked him tactfully why he bought a house next to Song Qi. It is no secret that you have conflicts. You suddenly ran to the next door to be a neighbor, and everyone has to think about the reason.
OK, let's get more comfortable, just say it directly.
"Actually, even if Brother Lu doesn't come today, I will have to come here in the next few days."
Ying Guang picked up the kettle and filled the water for Lu Buwei himself. He also ordered his personal soldiers to go to the kitchen and let the chef make some breakfast, and then he said slowly to Lu Buwei.
"Now that the Wei army has retired, I have arranged for someone to send him to Puyang for details of his military achievements. But, I have reported one more person's military achievements here."
"Song Qi?" Lu Buwei thought for a moment and answered openly.
"Not bad! The county magistrate of Song has been in Guiling County for many years, and he has worked hard without any credit. Now that Wei State has invaded the border, the county magistrate of Song has fought bravely to kill the enemy without regard for arrows and stones, and finally repels the invading enemy. I think with this military merit, the county magistrate of Song must move upwards."
“Hmm?”
Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes, Linglong's thoughts changed a lot, and instantly understood Ying Guang's plan. He wanted Song Qi to move him. His military achievements and the operation of the Lu family, he could not escape the position of Ying Guang as a county magistrate. Dian Jun is a person who is optimistic about Lu Jun. As long as he reports to a position as a county magistrate, Lu Jun will try his best to fight for it. In this way, it won't take long to win the Guiling County. Song Qi was lucky. He had been defending his territory for many years but had won the middle review. He suddenly picked up a military merit before this autumn exam. Coupled with the operation of a person who is interested, he fulfilled his thoughts on promotion for many years.
"Living next door to him means that he has the intention of cultivating with him. The county magistrate is promoted, and not many people can take away. To be honest, there are many people under me who can fight wars and almost no one can do civil governance. Song Qi has been in Guiling County for many years and has no great achievements or great demerits. This shows that among the people below, there are still capable officials. If you take out some practical things from him, it will be of great benefit to future management."
Ying Guang had just finished speaking when he saw the guards outside the door knocking on the door. After coming in, he placed the hot food he was holding onto the desk and then stepped out.
Ying Guang smiled and said to Lu Buwei: "I must have not had breakfast after coming out so early. Although I can't compare to yours, it's okay to just cushion your belly. Come and have something to eat."
Lu Buwei was not polite, just like eating at home, drinking in a big bowl, with no aristocratic demeanor. His lower eyebrows seemed to be watching the food in the bowl, but the flash of light showed that his mind was definitely useless to eat and drink.
Ying Guang directly took Guiling County, which was absolutely beneficial to the Lü family. To this day, it can be said that there are industries in all countries, but these industries do not have corresponding force support. Therefore, in the eyes of those high-ranking officials and nobles, the Lü family is just a piece of roasted fat and can take a bite at any time. Although they used their interests to win over some people, in their hearts, they looked down on merchants like the Lü family and would not provide support in force at all. Ying Guang was different. He had always been unsuccessful in the past, and he relied on the support of the Lü family to gain a foothold in the Wei State. Even the position of the county magistrate was the one who helped him fight for. The interests of the two had long been entangled, and they both prospered and lost. Although the appetite this time was a little bigger, as long as they obtained the support of Lu Jun, it would not be a big deal to take these two positions.
My father's vision is still a very good investment. He has seen the profits now. As long as he has a higher position, the greater the profits will be. (To be continued.)
