The final result of the discussion was that Murong Yuanbo would lead 50,000 troops to the Western Regions; the Crown Prince would lead 50,000 troops to the Kingdom of Paladin; Gao Zhijun would lead 10,000 troops, naturally to Goryeo; and the Protector of the Nation would lead 10,000 troops to Tatar. They would depart in two weeks, and they would bring a large number of grenades and ten-repeater crossbows.
Gao Zhijun even drew blueprints for the cannons and ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works to build four. Then, each of them would bring a cannon. If they dared to refuse, they wouldn't be blamed for being ruthless.
During this time, Gao Zhijun took her family on a trip to Korea, as they would not be back for at least three months.
In Taizhou, since Luo Mingkuan left, Luo Minghu and Kong Meixue came out, the shop made a little money, and Luo Minghu became addicted to gambling.
At first, he won a few times, but later he lost every time he gambled. He already owed a hundred taels of silver.
After Sun Meixue opened a shop, she started living the life of a rich wife.
Luo Hu and Wang Yumei worked hard from dawn to dusk, and their business was flourishing. They made fifty taels a day, which made them small businessmen. As long as they continued to manage the business well, the whole family could live a good life.
Unfortunately, people become bad when they have money, which is absolutely true.
Luo Minghu is addicted to gambling, and Sun Meixue spends all day comparing herself with rich ladies and daughters, spending money like water and has almost bankrupted the store.
Luo Minghu became more and more addicted to gambling, and the more he gambled, the more he lost. In the end, he lost a thousand taels.
When the gambling house's thugs came to his door, he had no money to pay back, so he could only give his shop to the gambling house as compensation.
The Luo family suddenly returned to the situation before liberation, becoming penniless and quarreling all day long.
Finally, Luo Minghu and Kong Meixue went to Huojia Village to make trouble, demanding money from the Gao family, otherwise they would make trouble in Huojia Village every day.
After the head of the village discussed with the housekeeper, he sent someone to invite Magistrate Zhang.
When Luo Minghu and Sun Meixue saw Magistrate Zhang, they were so scared that they were shaking all over. The trauma of being caught and beaten with a stick in the government office was still there.
"Sir, I haven't done anything bad."
Luo Minghu was so frightened that he knelt down and saluted Zhang Zhifu, trembling all over.
"Yes! Your Excellency is wise, we have done nothing wrong."
Kong Meixue was so frightened that her voice trembled as she saluted Prefect Zhang.
"I was invited here by the village head. He said you guys are making a lot of noise here, affecting the villagers' normal lives, and asked me to come and deal with it. What do you think is the reason this time?"
Magistrate Zhang asked Luo Minghu and Kong Meixue.
These two troublemakers were always looking for trouble with him. If it weren't for the princess, he would have kicked them out of Taizhou long ago.
"Nothing... I'll be leaving right away!"
Luo Minghu was so frightened that he dragged Kong Meixue away immediately. He didn't want to be caught by Zhang Zhifu and taken to the government office to be beaten with a stick or imprisoned again.
"Wait, sir, they're here to ask the princess for money, and I think I should deal with it. Luo Hu's eldest son, Luo Mingkuan, asked me to take care of his parents before he left. I think if Luo Minghu and Luo Hu are willing to sever their relationship, I can first help Luo Mingkuan pay fifty taels so that the two can sever their relationship and have nothing to do with each other from now on. If you don't agree, don't blame me for attacking Luo Minghu and his wife if they come to Huojia Village again to make trouble. I can't say what the consequences will be."
If it weren't for Luo Mingkuan's face, if it weren't for Luo Hu's good character, the village head would never get involved in this mess.
When Luo Mingkuan went to the capital, he left him one hundred taels of silver. He said that if Luo Minghu treated his parents badly, he would sever the marriage and send him to the capital, where he would reward him.
Breaking off the relationship? Then there would be a sum of money to help with the immediate problem. Besides, with the love the two elders had for him, they would never abandon them. When the money was gone, he could just ask the two elders for it.
Kong Meixue also thought of this, so she winked at her husband, and the two of them hit it off and decided to sever the relationship with the two elders.
"Okay, we agree! How much silver can you give?"
Luo Minghu said immediately. Sun Meixue followed suit and nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement.
"This requires the consent of Luo Hu and Wang Yumei."
"Please ask Luo Hu and Wang Yumei to come over."
The head of the village said to Magistrate Zhang respectfully.
"Of course, Wang Er, you go and invite them!"
Magistrate Zhang said to a constable who followed him.
"Yes, sir!"
After Wang Er finished speaking, he went to Leshan Village to find Luo Hu and Wang Yumei.
Not long after, Wang Er brought Luo Hu and Wang Yumei over, and also came Luo Minghu's daughter Luo Zilan.
"I pay my respects to the prefect. What is the matter that has called me here?"
When Luo Hu saw Magistrate Zhang, he didn't know whether he had made a mistake or his son and daughter-in-law had made a mistake, so he asked Magistrate Zhang to arrest them. He was so frightened that he hurriedly took his wife to pay his respects to Master Zhang.
"Your youngest son wants to sever his engagement with you. I've called you over to ask your opinion. If you agree, I'll make the decision and help you write the letter of severance."
Magistrate Zhang explained his purpose.
"Hu'er, you want to sever ties with us? Your elder brother just severed ties with us, and you want to do the same. You're such an unfilial son."
After hearing this, Wang Yumei was heartbroken and felt sad. How could she have given birth to these two evil sons?
She accepted the eldest son's decision to sever ties with his parents for the sake of his grandson's future career. After all, his grandson's future career was important, and it was a good thing that would bring honor to the family.
But why did this unfilial son break off relations with her?
"Son of evil, how could you do this? We raised you with so much hardship, and this is how you repay me?"
Luo Hu felt like he had aged ten years in an instant. He asked his youngest son angrily and sadly.
When the eldest son wanted them to go to the capital, they disagreed because they were worried about their younger son.
Unexpectedly, he gave birth to an ungrateful child who wanted to break off the relationship with him.
