Sitting in a small wooden house, he took a sip of the food served by the female official. After a while, a woman in filial piety walked into the wooden house and bowed slightly.
"I've met Marquis Wu. I'm still in possession of Hao Su, so I can't do all the courtesy."
Chen Luo quickly stood up and returned the salute: "I don't dare, it was Luo Lai who was presumptuous and disturbed the princess's ancestor worship."
Pingyang shook his head slightly and motioned for Chen Luo to sit down. He sat opposite Chen Luo and said softly: "This year is the tenth anniversary of the death of our ancestor, so the etiquette is more complete. By rights, I can't see outsiders, so I ask Marquis Wu to take care of me. However, Wu Hou's poem "asking what love is in the world, teaching us how to make love between life and death" caused two geese to flap their wings on Yanqiu, so we must thank him in person."
Chen Luo looked at Pingyang, who looked even more charming in plain clothes. The standard oval face seemed to have been carefully carved by a master craftsman, with rounded arcs, giving people a sense of intimacy. Although there was autumn in the eyes, it was covered by a pair of heroic deep eyebrows. In terms of appearance, she can be compared with the Sixth Senior Sister. However, compared to the Sixth Senior Sister, Pingyang exudes a graceful and elegant look, and her aura is evident in her every move.
The flower of wealth in the world!
Chen Luo slightly turned his gaze away and said, "I also heard the story of Princess Yanqiu and felt it. I made the princess laugh with just a simple act."
Pingyang smiled and said: "It's just a word handed down from generation to generation. Marquis Wu is indeed a great talent!"
Chen Luo opened his mouth, feeling that no matter what he said, it seemed wrong, so he simply picked up the tea and took a sip, and Pingyang also picked up the tea cup.
It's over, the atmosphere is awkward.
It’s all because of my usual fashion habits, that sentence came out of my mouth!
what to do? How can we open up a breakthrough for this chat?
Chen Luo glanced at Xiang Jixuan. Xiang Jixuan looked at the roof of the wooden house and rolled his eyes to the sky.
Don't look at me, I am a great scholar who has fought many battles and only knows how to fight!
Chen Luo glanced at Yang Qianli again. Yang Qianli seemed to find the structure of this wooden house particularly novel and was studying it carefully with his eyes.
Mr. Hou, don’t blame your humble position. What you just said is not easy for you even in a humble position!
Pingyang looked at Chen Luo's erratic eyes and also smiled. He felt that this young master Hou Ye was not as talented as the rumors and it was difficult to get in touch with him, so he took the initiative to ask: "Wu Hou came from Dongcang. I don't know why. Important matter?"
Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly spoke out about his plan to build a port in Leyacheng.
After hearing this, Pingyang frowned slightly, and after a while, he said to Chen Luo: "Marquis Wu, Pingyang cannot agree to this!"
Chen Luo was surprised: "Why?"
"Once the port is built, it will also be beneficial to Leya City!"
Pingyang smiled bitterly: "Of course it will be helpful to Leyacheng, but in the eyes of some people, it is like a thorn in the back, a lump in the throat, and sitting on pins and needles!"
Chen Luo changed his mind for a moment and reacted instantly: "The battle between rivers and seas!"
…
The so-called river-sea dispute refers to the dispute between the interests of canals and shipping. To put it simply, there was originally only one canal for transportation. Along the canal, officials, families, and traffickers could all make a lot of money. If a maritime line suddenly appeared, it would be from the hands of these people. Stealing benefits.
Although Leya City is the end point of the canal, it will not suffer any loss if sea transportation rises. It will even improve due to the convenience of sea transportation. However, this is not the case for the big families in Leya City.
These families have been operating here for a long time and have already completed the division of interests. They have even combined various relationships along the canal through marriages, apprenticeships, etc. If shipping suddenly appeared, it would mean that they would be trapped in a battleground again, and they would even have to give up the relationship network they had formed for hundreds of years. This would be a huge challenge for any family.
"But..." Chen Luo said helplessly, "I just want to open up the sea transportation between Dongcang City and Leya City!"
Princess Pingyang shook her head helplessly: "It's useless. If you put a seaport there, it means opening the door!"
"I can promise Wuhou to build a seaport. But there is no guarantee that someone will not destroy it every day."
"To be honest, when Dongcang City was first established, the imperial court established Cangwu Shipping, but it ceased operations in less than a year. I would not believe it if there were no shadows of these families in the so-called Kraken Impact. !”
Chen Luo fell into silence.
I thought I was just here to get a piece of land to build a port, but it turned out to be involved in such a big conflict of interests.
…
Chen Luo remained silent when he returned to his residence. Xiang Jixuan and Yang Qianli also remained silent beside Chen Luo. They were not mediocre people, so they naturally understood the difficulty of this matter, so they did not dare to disturb Chen Luo's thinking.
Chen Luo was worried about two things at this time. One was that the port of Leya City could not be delayed. According to Qin Dangguo, there was not enough food in Dongcang City. After all, the gourd demon transport team was given by the ancestor of Xianhu. You can't keep going, you have to rest; the other thing is how to reopen Cangwu County in the future.
"Xu...Xu...Xu, use your claws..." A voice sounded behind Chen Luo. Chen Luo turned his head and saw Wu Litao leaning against the wall holding a bamboo stick.
"Uncle Wuli? Why are you here?"
Wu Litao fluttered his hands and said, "Your Sixth Senior Sister is worried about you, so let me follow you!"
"Don't worry about this matter. What interests and disputes between rivers and seas? Your master said, just fight it and it will be over."
"Whatever the water monster is, even if the dragon comes to rob the boat, just kill him and that's it. What are you afraid of?"
"Your master said that the more complicated the matter, the simpler it should be handled!"
"When you encounter someone who can't speak, speak first, and then beat him if he refuses to listen. When you encounter someone who can talk, strike him first, and then speak after he's convinced!"
Chen Luo's heart suddenly lit up when he heard Wu Litao's voice transmission.
yes!
What am I worried about! The current situation is different from before!
When Dongcang City develops, it will use its own soldiers, its own generals, and its own ships!
Daxuan can't control me.
If you collude with the sea monster to rob, I will kill you immediately!
Kill 30 million water monsters and see who dares to plan the route!
When you are indecisive, make the final decision!
There is no need to think about such long-term things now.
As for now...
Didn’t the great leader say: Unite the majority and attack the minority?
Make it simple, let most people see the benefits, and then just make some repairs to a small number of people, right?
Hey, a gentleman has been a gentleman for so long that he has forgotten the one-step method.
Chen Luo bowed respectfully to Wu Litao, grateful for the advice. Wu Litao waved his hand and burped.
"Perhaps my uncle will need to take action!"
"Hiccup...want...want...want it!"
…
Yanqiu.
Princess Pingyang opened the letter sent by Chen Luo and looked at the plans written on it, with a strange look on her face.
"Princess, what are Wuhou's plans?" asked the female officer who had been following her.
Princess Pingyang handed the letter to her casually. The female officer glanced at it and said in surprise: "Princess...this...this Wuhou's plan is too...too..."
"We can't agree!"
Princess Pingyang was a little eager to give it a try: "Why can't you agree?"
"With this...thing like this, won't our Leyacheng be in chaos?"
"Isn't it bad?" Princess Pingyang took a sip of the porridge and said, "I have long been tired of seeing those big families! If it weren't for them, would my mother be forced to go to the ancestral land to practice?"
"Besides, where can we get into chaos?"
"That's it! Go and use the city lord's seal to allocate that area to Dongcang City!"
"Go down and tell me, I won't see anyone before the sacrifice period is over! I won't accept anything from anyone!"
"Temporarily revoke the authority of Leyacheng officials to use their fortune! Just say that I will use my fortune to pray for Leyacheng!"
"Also, send all the clan information in Leya City to Wuhou! Don't let Wuhou suffer a loss!"
The female officer looked at the excited Princess Pingyang and sighed: "Don't let anything big happen..."
Princess Pingyang shrugged, and accidentally showed the air of a little daughter: "Anyway, I am worshiping my ancestors, I don't know anything."
"Chen Luo said in the letter that if there is any loss to Leyacheng, he will pay for it!"
"He is the master of martial arts and a disciple of a saint. He is just a Leya City. He can afford to pay for it!"
The female officer also smiled helplessly and muttered: "Let the man pay, but I really don't know who will gain and who will pay..."
