Chapter 1322 Marrying a Wife as Dowry

The cake is so small that the other three families must join in the rebellion and get a share that satisfies them. But if they divide the cake up, Long Shu will have nothing.

Maybe they still have some tribesmen, but in fact, after this incident, these tribesmen will only get further and further away from them. After all, it has come to this point.

Even if I help the inner clan again in the future, it will only be out of gratitude for the incense.

As time goes by, the new generation will pay less attention to the inner tribes because they have already formed their own system, especially when the inner tribes can no longer provide them with resources.

"Sister Long Shu, what do you want? As long as you ask, I will give it all to you!"

Lei Zhen stared into Long Shu's eyes, his gaze accidentally sweeping across her rosy lips. He suddenly felt that the second half of the sentence was not appropriate, and it was very similar to his behavior when he was trying to predict the future.

"You've already thought about it, so it's useless for me to ask for anything. If I have to ask for something, I hope you can spare my brother and his family." Long Shu said.

No matter how young a girl she looks, she cannot hold the heart of an old woman.

She knew very well that the Long family was now in a completely passive position, and their future plans and paths would probably be arranged by the little man in front of her.

So it is useless to ask for something, because people ask with answers.

"Don't worry, I won't deal with Long Tianyi, because he's a loser." Lei Zhen leaned back in his chair and said, "Anyone who takes the position of the head of the Long family will be much better than him."

I really don't want to bother with this piece of crap. What are you waiting for if you don't commit suicide now that things have come to this?

Suicide at least preserves one's integrity and pride, just like Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, who chose to commit suicide after his defeat. Who would laugh at him a thousand years later?

There is no ridicule, only regret and respect.

A real man doesn’t care about winning or losing, he lives with vigour and dies with passion!

"I mean whatever you want, as long as you ask, I will satisfy you."

"Lei Zhen? Husband? You've already made all the arrangements. It's useless for me to ask for anything, isn't it?"

"Wife, I am sincere. You are wrong to think this way. In fact, I just want to make up for your Long family to a greater extent, because after this incident, you must have suffered a lot."

Lei Zhen was very sincere and thought the same in his heart.

After completely opening up to the other three families, the Long family's advantages disappeared in an instant, and the road ahead was only uphill. If nothing unexpected happened, it would never return to its heyday.

Power will be divided from the root, influence will gradually disappear, and they will no longer be the leaders of a prominent family.

"Our Long family is quite wealthy. How much do you want?" Long Shu asked.

"Ah? Wife, that's not what I meant... Actually, it's okay for you to provide me with some financial support. After all, I am the son-in-law of the Long family, hehe." Lei Zhen smiled embarrassedly.

What to give to the Long family?

Give me some shit!

He coveted the wealth accumulated by the Long family for generations, but was too embarrassed to speak up with Long Shu, so he adopted a roundabout tactic and waited for the other party to speak first.

Anyway, Lei Zhen would never do such a thing as wiping out a family in his lifetime.

"Take as much as you like. I don't know how much there is anyway."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Honey, you know me well. I always behave in an upright manner."

"Lei Zhen, you are so shameless!"

Faced with this kind of man, Long Shu didn't know what to say.

He could have robbed it, but he insisted on asking for it to be given to him. How could this be more than just shameless? It was simply despicable and shameless, the epitome of a jerk.

"It's okay for others to be prejudiced against me, but shouldn't you, my wife? By the way, do you know the system of abdication? It's how Yao, Shun and Yu abdicated the throne." Lei Zhen smiled.

The system of abdication refers to the reigning monarch giving up the ruling power to others during his lifetime.

When I was young and studying history, I felt that the abdication system was really selfless, but after learning more about it, I realized that there was no such thing as abdication system.

This thing is simply the result of a bloody struggle, just to preserve a good reputation for both sides. It's nothing more than an act.

After entering the hereditary system, it means that people are too lazy to even act.

It is conceivable that the bloodiness of getting the previous emperor to cooperate in abdication would definitely be far greater than the forced abdication in later generations, and this scene had already appeared in the early Song Dynasty.

Emperor Gong of Zhou wrote an abdication edict to pass the throne to Zhao Kuangyin, who then abdicated to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi. This also gave rise to an idiom: candle shadow and axe sound.

"So you need a legitimate reason, just marry me?" Long Shu said calmly, "Marry me with a formal matchmaker, and you can have as much of the Long family's wealth as you want."

"I will definitely marry you. It's not because I'm greedy for your Long family's wealth. I, Lei Zhen, lack everything except money!"

“Money doesn’t bite the hand.”

"What you said..."

Faced with such a wise sister Long Shu, Lei Zhen felt embarrassed to continue speaking, because this was what he was thinking in his heart, and ended up being exposed by someone.

"Wife, can we hurry up and get married? I've always dreamed of marrying you and letting everyone know that my wife, Lei Zhen, is named Long Shu!"

"Start preparing tomorrow. I also want to be your wife as soon as possible."

"That's great, it's really great, kiss my wife..."

Nothing is as real as being the son-in-law of the Long family. You marry the new Dragon Emperor, gain huge wealth, and indirectly maintain the status of a prominent family.

With his left hand, he allowed the Ying, Liu, and Ji families to expand outwards, and with his right hand, he invited the Great Master Tianji to marry the Dragon Emperor, confirming the orthodoxy and political system of the Long family in this world.

The other three families benefited, and the Long family gained prestige, but they did not get any benefits.

Simply put, Lei Zhen wants to shape the Long family into the spiritual leader of a prominent family, adopting the model of divine right of emperors, so as to achieve a situation where all families are centered around him.

The Long family needs him to consolidate their position, the Ying family needs him to enter the military, the Liu family needs him to enter the business world, and the Ji family also needs him to enter politics.

It’s not that Lei Zhen doesn’t want to rule this place, but he can’t rule it because his foundation is not good enough. After all, they are from a family that has been passed down for many years.

If someone rashly comes to rule here, he may be able to rule, but all kinds of things will inevitably arise, which will involve a huge amount of energy.

Being a key node within a prominent family is far better than ruling.

This tactic was learned from Cao Cao. Although he had the strength to become emperor long ago, he would never do so because once he did, he would face attacks from all sides.

Lei Zhen saw this very clearly.

It doesn’t matter whether he rules or not. As long as he has a stranglehold on every family, he is the actual ruler, but no one will bother him.

A grand wedding must be held in a grand manner.

The 12 tribes, 36 villages, and Tianji Temple are all preparing for the wedding of the Grand Taoist Priest and the Dragon Emperor. The Long family opens the door to their treasure trove and brings out various dowries in an endless stream.

Isn’t this the reason for marrying a wife?

But Lei Zhen was also very generous, and the betrothal gift was extremely high, covering all the resource needs of Shenlong Peak for the next 50 years.
