Chapter 531: Team Expansion
"My dear, there's news from Yuzhou that Yu Guangping is going to make new moves."
Luo Tingshan suddenly said.
Zhu Mingqing: "The war is about to begin again."
Luo Tingshan nodded: "This time, Huai'er and I are leaving. Do you want to go back to Guancheng?"
Zhu Mingqing was puzzled.
"I'm worried that Yu Guangping might attack this area. Although I've left enough people behind, I'm worried that you and father might be in danger just in case."
Luo Tingshan explained.
Zhu Mingqing thought something was wrong, so he patted his chest and said, "Do you think I'm someone who can be bullied so easily? Even if they really send troops to encircle and suppress me, I can protect myself."
Luo Tingshan also knew that Qingqing was independent-minded and her ability to protect herself was no worse than his, but he still felt uneasy.
"Then I'll keep Jiang Feng here, and you can tell him if you have anything." He said without allowing any refusal.
Late at night three days later.
Luo Tingshan and Luo Huai took their men away.
Zhu Mingqing looked at the other person's figure, and his heart always felt ominous, as if shrouded in darkness.
"Little Jie Ling, keep a close eye on them. If anything happens, tell me immediately."
When Luo Tingshan led his troops away, Zhu Mingqing was not idle either.
First of all, the trade route that was blocked by Nanxia has gradually been explored by merchants from all over the country to find other passages.
In order to promote the commercial development of Jizhou and Youzhou, Zhu Mingqing specially stationed personnel on this small road to prevent those merchants from being intercepted by Nanxia.
As time goes by, life in both places continues to proceed smoothly.
The people didn't notice anything unusual.
But Old Master Wang, who has been in Jizhou, has a deep understanding of this.
Because someone from the Wang family has come.
The journey was very smooth.
"Dad, it seems you were the most foresighted," said Master Wang admiringly. "What about the blockade of Nanxia? The Luo family easily solved it."
Old Master Wang frowned slightly: "No matter how good the Luo family is, their relationship with us is now worse than before!"
Master Wang was surprised: "Why? Isn't Dad very close to General Luo?"
Old Master Wang sighed and told what happened in Jizhou.
Upon hearing this, Master Wang was filled with rage. "They are so arrogant even before they reach a high position. We must let them know that the Wang family is not to be trifled with."
A trace of fatigue flashed in Old Master Wang's eyes. "Even though the Wang family has been passed down for thousands of years and has produced countless talented individuals, we are currently living in a chaotic world. What we lack most is military power. The Luo family, having mastered this, is able to take the lead in the current situation."
"Boss, the Luo family is now a powerful force. Even if you are dissatisfied, you can't show it openly."
Master Wang said unhappily, "Are we just going to suffer this loss in silence? Even if we don't have military power, so what? We have countless aristocratic families behind us. If the Luo family really wants to ascend to a high position, they must have our support, otherwise they can't hold on to that position."
Old Master Wang heard the disdain in his eldest son's tone and sighed softly, "Do you know who I've been seeing these past two days?"
"who?"
"Zheng Wei Zheng Da Ru."
Master Wang was shocked and said, "Why is he here? Could it be that he is also on good terms with the Luo family?"
Master Wang shook his head helplessly: "He is Luo Huai's master now!"
If I had known this news earlier, I would never have thought of targeting Luo Tingshan.
Mrs. Zhu has such a son, and with the help of Zheng Daru, the group power represented by Zheng Wei almost all fell into Luo Huai's hands.
The Zheng and Wang families are first-rate families among the Nanxia families.
No one knows Zheng Wei's power better than him.
Master Wang was stunned: "How could it be?"
"So, the current situation is that the Luo family doesn't necessarily need us, but the Wang family can't afford to offend the Luo family!"
Although he had offended before, it was not too late now.
"father……"
"Okay, go back and think about how to ease the relationship with the Luo family. And your second brother, leave as soon as possible. You can't stay in Yuezhou for too long."
Master Wang clenched his fist and said, "...Yes!"
After returning to his yard, Master Wang immediately called his daughter and asked her what she thought.
She clearly said before that she would never marry me, how come she changed her mind so quickly?
Wang Tan hesitated and said, "Oh, why does Dad ask his daughter such a question?"
She looked shy, but Master Wang didn't believe it. His daughter loved the boy from the Liang family to death and even followed him to Jizhou for this.
"If you don't tell the truth, Dad won't help you!"
Wang Tan's face changed, and she looked up carefully: "My daughter wants to know the news about Brother Huanyu through the Luo family. Daddy must help me hide it. Don't you like Brother Huanyu the most? I don't want to marry Luo Huai."
Master Wang snorted coldly, knowing that the girl had ulterior motives.
He liked Liang Huanyu at first because he thought he was a promising talent.
But now, what a pity!
"Okay, don't go out for the next few days if you have nothing to do. The war is about to start, and it's not safe outside!"
Wang Tan immediately said, "My daughter wants to go to Guancheng in person. Is that okay?"
Master Wang narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't even listen to Dad?"
Wang Tan immediately stamped her feet and said, "No, it was Grandfather who also wanted to go to Guancheng, but was suddenly delayed. I want to go with Grandfather."
Mr. Wang immediately realized that his father probably wanted to discuss something with the Ming family.
"Go back first, we'll talk about this later!"
Wang Tan curled his lips, knowing that he would probably be scolded if he continued talking, so he had no choice but to leave first.
Now, all three members of the Wang family have gathered in Jizhou.
When some people from prominent families heard the news, especially Zheng Wei, they didn't say anything, but they looked down on the other party in their hearts.
Coming here at this time obviously means you want to pick peaches.
He immediately wrote a letter to his family and also called on his disciples, saying that if anyone was willing to come to Jizhou or Youzhou, he would recommend them to the Luo family.
In today's Nanxia, taxes are rising year by year, uprisings are constantly happening in various places, and people are forcibly conscripted into the army. It is no longer the Nanxia of three years ago.
Some knowledgeable people have already begun looking for other wise leaders.
The Luo family now has Che Ping and Zheng Wei for strategic purposes, Wang Zhifu, Bai Yi and Chu Zheng for internal affairs, and Luo Huai, Cao Zeng and Han Jing for military affairs, but one can never have too many talents.
In particular, they are very welcoming to accepting all kinds of talented people from Nanxia.
During the time that Luo Tingshan was away, influenced by Zheng Wei, no less than a hundred people came in groups, passed through the defenses of Yuzhou, and came to Jizhou City.
As the mistress of the Luo family, Zhu Mingqing naturally hosted a banquet to welcome her, and also present was the old prince Luo.
Zheng Wei introduced who were his close disciples, who were their friends, and who was good at what.
After summarizing the details, Zhu Mingqing discovered that Zheng Wei, the great scholar, was truly a treasure sent by God for accepting Luo Huai and agreeing to join the Luo family camp.
There are more than ten people who are good at farming, thirty people who study the manufacturing of Mohist mechanisms, three Legalists who are inclined to formulate laws, six people who are good at alchemy, and the rest are almost all Confucian scholars.
But this is not surprising. After all, in feudal dynasties, if you want to be an official, you have to study and learn Confucianism, and Confucian scholars are the most numerous people.
The key is that these people also inherited the good qualities of their teacher Zheng Wei and are very positive. In modern terms, they are the kings of papers.
