A few days ago.
Xishui City.
Xishui City is a large city among the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River. It is located on the Xiaolong River and has a large dock.
"My lord, it's time to go." A servant in blue whispered outside the door.
"Yes, it's time to go -" Wen Qizhi sighed.
Although Xishui City was not built by the Wen family, it was only after ten years of hard work and hard work by Wen Qi that it began to prosper.
How many decades are there in life?
He has long regarded this place as his hometown.
I originally thought that I would live here until my old age, but I never thought that when I got old, I would have to leave my hometown again. Of course, this was wrong. Yuci Prefecture was the hometown of the Wen family. There was no way to leave the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River and return to Yuci Prefecture. It's like leaving home.
But when it comes to Wen Qi personally, there is still a feeling of being away from home.
"Master, let's go. If you don't go, the devil is coming." The old servant urged.
The Demon King refers to Lu Wu, the three major families of the Wen family, the Lu family and the Ou family. All the heads of the family were beheaded and cast into Jingguan. This kind of cruelty deserves the name of the Demon King.
If the whole lineage of the head of the family hadn't been killed, it wouldn't have been Wen Qi's turn to become the head of the family.
It is certainly a good thing to be the head of the family, but Wen Qizhi is not very happy - Wen Daozhi is his eldest brother, and their father died early. Wen Daozhi personally taught him how to read and learn swordsmanship since he was a child, and when he grew up, he even operated by himself. , let Wen Qizhi marry the Lu family and become the lord of a city, with great power.
In Wen Qi's eyes, Wen Daozhi was almost half a father - it was no joke in ancient times for the eldest brother to be a father.
Lu Wu killed Wen Daozhi, and such a great revenge must be avenged - but Wen Qizhi is now the head of the Wen family, but he cannot bring about the annihilation of the Wen family because of his personal feelings.
"Have everything been arranged?" Wen Qizhi looked to the left and right and asked in a deep voice.
"The arrangements have been made. Not only our Wen family, but also the Lu family and the Ou family have also made arrangements. The assets will be taken over by local wealthy families. They are deeply rooted and no family is easy to deal with." Wen Qi's left side, a person A scholar in Tsing Yi said loudly.
Wen Qizhi nodded happily and took the lead to walk out the door, followed by the staff and servants on the left and right.
Lu Wu was famous for his fierce reputation. No one from the Wen family, the Ou family, or the Lu family dared to think so of confronting Lu Wu. Just looking at the people who died in Lu Wu's hands, we knew that if Lu Wu took Taking advantage of three families and destroying three families is like squeezing a bug to death, and even the entire Wu Kingdom can't speak.
Since you don't dare to face it head-on, you can only make small moves, and you must not leave any clues to others - this is not easy.
However, because Wu State wanted to exchange the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River for the five southern prefectures, King Ketu of Wu felt guilty for the three Wen, Oulu, and Lu families. He had already allocated territory to the three families in the five southern prefectures and asked the three families to move as soon as possible to avoid meeting Lu Wu. .
Therefore, Wen Qi ordered people to deal with some housing properties as soon as possible and arranged for people to take over the positions vacated after the three families left to avoid turmoil. This was the right thing to do, and no one could say that what they did was unreasonable.
But there is still some work to be done about who will give the positions of these petty officials and officials, and to whom key industries will be sold.

A few days later, outside Xishui City, there was Qijiazhai.
Before the State of Wu crossed the Xiaolong River and captured the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River, people here lived in the form of tribes, villages, and alliances.
Between tribes and villages, you beat me and I beat you. It is just a common thing for people to fight against dog brains, so the villages are built with considerable defensive functions.
Qijiazhai is located at the foot of Hanshan Mountain. The outer wall is made of sand, gravel and soil mixed with bamboo slices that are ten meters high and two meters thick. Inside, next to the outer wall, there are layers of bamboo buildings. , build the exterior wall as a wall.
In the middle of the stockade is a circular public open space with six wells distributed in a plum blossom shape. If it is surrounded, these six wells alone can ensure a constant supply of water in the stockade.
If you look down from the top of Hanshan Mountain, the entire village looks like a large hollow cylinder.
In the Qijiazhai village, the village owner’s natural surname was Qi. He was called the leader at that time, and later the village owner. Later he learned culture and is now called the master. In fact, it is just a change of the soup without changing the medicine.
There are many people who practice martial arts. Xishui City is a water and land dock, and all kinds of tonic medicines are also available. Therefore, although Mr. Qi is nearly forty years old, he is still vigorous and vigorous. He is having sex with his newly bought concubine in his room. Contribute to the family lineage to continue the family lineage.
This concubine also had an extraordinary origin. She was the daughter of a noble who escaped during the Songjing Incident. Unfortunately, she was separated from her family and wandered to the south of the Yangtze River. Finally, she fell into the hands of Master Qi.
】
This woman has an extraordinary temperament, is well-educated, gentle and elegant. As expected, she is different from these rustic women in Jiangnan. Master Qi regards it as a great resource for improving the seeds of the Qi family, and makes an exception to work hard during the day - Master Qi is usually a decent person. , I would never do such a violation of etiquette.
Of course, Mr. Qi's interest today has something to do with the fact that the Wen family, who was pressing on everyone, wanted to go to the ancestral land of the Central Plains to develop, and sold many local industries at a cheap price, and the Qi family took the opportunity to make a fortune.
What's especially good is that after some planning, the Qi family also obtained the positions of anti-theft, city patrol, and city gate officer in Xishui City. This is a position with the power of law enforcement. In the future, with these powers, the Qi family will definitely be the first in Xishui City. Tyrant.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qi moved harder and harder. The two of them were relaxing when they heard a clansman outside the door shouting: "It's not good, the third master has been killed."
————————————————
When Lu Wu was enjoying the blessings in Songjing Wutong Village, the people around him were not idle.
The founding of the country is so important. Even if Lu Wu is not in a hurry, how can the people around him not be in a hurry?
The staff of the Zhechong Division who followed Qiutong worked extremely hard, and the total number of plans they wrote almost filled the entire room.
All laws under Lu Wu's command were first issued from Zhechong Division.
In other words, these people exercise the power of the imperial court. When the tide rises after the founding of the Deer Kingdom, they may become important ministers of the imperial court.
This opportunity to reach the sky in one step is once in a lifetime, so why not work hard?
According to the results of everyone's discussion, Yulan Hongmei first brought a thousand elites, broke them into parts, and caused little trouble along the way, and rushed to the Lu family's fiefdom to secure the city and protect the Lu family's family rolls - not only did this family roll have Lu Song is here, and more importantly, Lu Wu's biological mother is here, so there must be no room for failure.
The second and third groups of people set off one after another.
One group was led by Qingzhu, with a thousand men and horses taking over the Baishui City Pier Ferry; the other group was led by Jin Ju, with a thousand men and horses occupying Luxicheng - there is also a ferry in this city - and then tried to gather the ferries as much as possible to prepare for the arrival of the subsequent large forces. Be prepared.
Yes, the staff of Zhechong Division believed that taking over the five counties in Jiangnan would never be smooth sailing, even with the cooperation of Wu State.
Because no one is willing to take the initiative to give up the benefits they have obtained, no matter the big or small person.
But most of the time, big shots have more choices and more interests, and it is not unacceptable to have to give up a piece of interest;
But for the little people, this interest is all they have, so no matter who touches their interests, they will fight to the death - without this kind of fierceness, they would have been trampled under their feet.
