The capital of the Deer Kingdom is Wanghai City.
Wanghai City is located on the Qingjiao River. It was originally a small city with a circumference of only four miles. It was inconspicuous among the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Due to the long-term warlessness, the damage to the east wall has not been repaired.
The only thing worth mentioning here is the convenient transportation.
Two official roads passing through the city connect the north, south, west and east, and three rivers intersect, connecting the two major water systems of Xiaolongjiang and Qingjiao River, and leading directly to the sea. It is a rare water and land transportation hub among the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The east side of the county, not the center.
After Wanghai City was designated by Lu Wu as the capital of the Lu King, military camps and manors sprung up around it.
A military camp is a place where troops are stationed.
The Deer Kingdom is located in a peaceful corner. Apart from bordering Wu and Yue, it is surrounded by mountains and oceans, and there are no major enemies around it.
However, the royal capital always needs soldiers to defend it, and the soldiers who followed from the south of Chu also wanted to be closer to their king, so as to stabilize the morale of the army.
As for the manors, most of them are owned by the ministers of the Deer Kingdom.
It is clear that a small city like Wanghai City is not enough to bear the responsibility of a royal city. Sooner or later it will need to be expanded. By then, the land value will increase thirty to fifty times, but it will be nothing.
Everyone is not a fool, but those who are really qualified to take advantage of this are not ordinary people.
The original aboriginal people near Wanghai City were either taken in as tenant farmers by officials, or had their land replaced and left their homes. Even if a big pie really fell from the sky, they would not be able to eat it if they had no strength at all.
Among the manors, the largest one belongs to the Lu family.
Although Lu Song and Lu Bai already had the title of son, they did not separate and still lived with Lu Jinhe and his wife.
"Father, dear clan elders." Lu Song walked into the hall. Lu Jinhe was already waiting there, along with seven or eight elders of the Lu family.
In fact, Lu Jinhe never wanted to have a stalemate with Qiu Tong and other military forces. If he could take a step back, he would be willing to suffer some losses.
But now Lu Jinhe has a special status. He represents not only the interests of the Lu family, but also nearly half of the wealthy businessmen of Wu and Yue!
Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a merchant's son to create a country, let alone an example of a merchant being able to influence national politics.
Businessmen are actually quite hard-working.
From a certain perspective, this saying means that businessmen have a low social status.
Having a low social status and being rich at the same time, isn’t this looking for death? So every year you can hear about the news that a certain wealthy businessman was exterminated and his family property was confiscated.
Therefore, these days, as long as the larger wealthy businessmen are concerned, the first priority is not to make money at all, but to disperse the family and spread its branches, so that when things are not harmonious, the family's incense will not be extinguished.
For example, the Lu family has five major surnames such as Lu, Lu, Lu, Tu, and Gu, and eleven minor surnames such as Luo and Lan. Even Lu Jinhe, the head of the Lu family, cannot figure out what the Lu family is. How many branches are there? Only when all members of the Presbyterian Church are present can the entire deer family tree be compiled.
This can be said to be the ultimate in spreading branches and leaves.
The same is true for most other wealthy business families.
It is rare to hear that the Lu family has a son who founded the country. Even if the wealthy businessmen from all over the country did not transfer the industry, they more or less divided it into one branch as a retreat when necessary. They also hoped that through the relationship of Lu Jinhe, they could achieve this in this country. Class breakthrough.
"Thank you for your hard work, Song'er." Lu Jinhe stood up from the soft couch and asked loudly with bright eyes.
Lu Jinhe was so busy during this period that his round belly became flat, but his energy and energy were strong.
"Haha, he is indeed a son of the Lu family!" Lu Zhiyuan, the elder of the clan, looked at Lu Song's steady steps and praised him.
All the clan elders nodded in agreement.
Being praised like this by a group of white-haired old men, Lu Song quickly responded.
"How dare Song, the elder of the clan, praise him like this? Only my fifth brother can be worthy of being a tiger of the Lu family." Lu Song bowed with his hands in hand.
"Hahaha, how can the king be compared to a ferocious tiger? I heard that the king is the uncle of Haotianjing, and even the unicorn in the sky is nothing more than that. It's a pity that lowly people like me are not lucky enough to witness this with our own eyes - if I can see that with my own eyes
Even if he died on the spot, it would be a blessing! "
Lu Zhiyuan stroked his white beard under his chin and smiled regretfully.
"Uncles, we will talk about these things later. Song'er, what does the king say?" Seeing that everyone was going off topic, Lu Jinhe quickly interrupted.
"this--"
"They are all my elders, you just say it doesn't matter." Lu Jinhe said.
Without these clan elders, Lu Jinhe could only use the superficial power of the Lu family, but could not use the entire latent power of the Lu family, including the Lu family branches.
"Fifth brother said that he doesn't care about these things, so let's just argue -"
"Huh?! What does Wu'er mean? Did you hear it wrong?" Lu Jinhe was confused.
what does this mean? Is Lao Wu going to let go? Is this something you can just let go of if you want to? If he doesn't come back and suppress him, someone in the Lu family will die!
Qiu Tong knew them as elders, but the soldiers below who followed Lu Wu from Chu did not know who they were.
Everyone is concentrated around Wanghai City competing for interests. There have been some conflicts, and there have been more than one bloodshed and injuries, but no lives have been lost yet.
The elders who were watching also looked at each other.
These old men have seen some of the market, and they have heard of the legend of the ignorant king who ignores political affairs, but they are all things that can only be done by prodigal sons who can inherit the throne without doing anything. How can the founding monarch be so bad? of.
"Well, let's just argue as much as we want, fifth brother said he doesn't care." Lu Song was a little embarrassed.
"What are you talking about!" Clan elder Lu Gaoju couldn't help but slapped the table eucalyptus with a "pop" sound: "I mean, Jin He, you need to persuade me. I said at that time that you should go by yourself. You let Song What's the point of leaving? He is a junior, even if he is the king's eldest brother, can his words be of any use to you?"
Lu Gaoju, formerly known as Lu Ju, is the second uncle of Lu Jinhe. He is now over eighty years old and is highly respected among the elders of the clan.
A grimace appeared on Lu Jinhe's face: "Second uncle, you don't know something. Wu'er has a very stubborn temper. If he was willing to listen to what I said, how could he be in the current situation?"
"Second uncle, wait a minute - Song'er, are you still unfinished?" Lu Zhiyuan looked like Lu Song was hesitant to speak, so he interrupted Lu Gaoju and asked.
Everyone looked at Lusong together.
Lu Song looked at his father.
Lu Jinhe glared: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Fifth brother, fifth brother said, you can quarrel as you like, you can kill people, it doesn't matter how many people die, as long as the family is fine - I also specifically asked fifth brother, what is the scope of this family, but fifth brother said, In his eyes, only the two elders, the two aunts, my brothers and sisters, plus Qiu Tong and the others are considered relatives, and the others don't matter."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became cold.
You know, when Lu Wu came to Wanghai City, he did not meet any Lu family elders except for a reunion with Qiu Tong and others. The Lu family people had already complained about this, but Lu Wu had a fierce reputation, and the Lu family members The clan members were businessmen and their status was low, so they did not dare to cause trouble openly.
After a while, under the gaze of all the clan elders, Lu Jinhe had a dark expression and said: "——This is indeed what your fifth brother would say. This is also my fault. When Wu'er was young, he failed in studying and learning swordsmanship. He also has a naughty personality, so I just raised him as a child - well - but I forgot to teach him to be harmonious with his family, alas!"
Lu Jinhe sighed, and all the clan elders also looked unhappy.
If there is no support from Lu Wu, then the Lu family has the support of wealthy businessmen from all over the world. They may still be able to speak in the court, but down below, how can their servants, tenants, farmers, and caravan guys withstand the ferocity of those soldiers and gangsters?
