After the immortal disappeared

"He asked me how much I ordered. I told him that He's house ordered meat for three months, eight pounds of pork, ten pounds of beef, and ten pounds of mutton every month. In addition, the housekeeper of He's house also wanted to buy some live livestock. He said it was It was going to be sent to a farm in the countryside for planting. I introduced him to Li Laoliu diagonally across the street, the one in the corner -" He pointed to the opposite side, "His family raises his own crops. The housekeeper of the He Mansion comes from him. We ordered some livestock of different varieties and went back. After hearing this, the man named Sun asked for two kilograms of mutton and two lamb loins, and then left."

It's really simple.

He Lingchuan thanked him and left.

No matter where the nobles are, whether it is Yuan Kingdom or Bejia, fields and farms are must-have items for asset allocation. Their output not only supplies the annual needs of the owner's family, but more importantly, it can be sent to the market to be sold for money.

The He family moved to Yuandu from Xiazhou. While selling off their assets in the north, they repurchased fields and farms near Yuandu. This was also a standard practice for newly wealthy people entering the capital.

The second housekeeper Zhao had just arrived in Yuandu City and didn't know much about the place. When buying meat, it was normal for him to ask Butcher Wang to set him up with breeding pigs and sheep so that he could breed them in the village.

Shan Youjun followed behind: "Young Master, is there something wrong?"

"No." He Lingchuan walked out of Niuyangzhuang and looked at the soles of his shoes for good measure. "Let's go back and have dinner. If you hear anything here, don't spread it when you go back."

Shan Youjun immediately responded: "Yes, no fourth person will know."

Sun Hongye is here, did you ask anything else? He Lingchuan put these thoughts aside and went home to eat.

He Chunhua had come back and was beaming at the dinner table, saying that King Yuan was very interested in his suggestion.

He Yue asked: "Father, do you think your Majesty will agree?"

"Of course." He Chunhua said with a smile, "Junyan Dayue thinks this is a good way, which is both affordable and can get military supplies as soon as possible."

After years of speculation, he has understood Yuanjun's temperament. As long as King Yuan thinks he has taken advantage, he will make a happy decision.

But, it’s hard to have both ends of the world. As long as you "have both" in matters of family and country, the price will often be higher in the end.

In the evening, He Lingchuan called Qiu Hu to his courtyard and asked, "Can you get used to it here?"

"There's nothing that I can't get used to," Qiu Hu replied, "I can get by with fine clothes and fine food, and I can get by by lying on sand and eating chaff. It's just that I'm full all day long and have nowhere to go. It's a bit boring."

Other Ronshan disciples like to visit Yuandu and wallow in the world of mortals. He's not interested.

As for actuarial calculation and accounting, he doesn't even know how to do it.

What he likes to do most, what he is most proficient in, is fighting and killing.

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Then I'll give you a mission."

Qiu Hu didn't say anything: "Please tell me."

…

Early the next morning, He Lingchuan unexpectedly saw an old acquaintance again:

Wu Shaoyi.

This guy had just returned from overseas. Hearing that the eldest son of the He family had returned home, he hurriedly came to congratulate him and also asked the housekeeper to get some medicinal materials.

He Lingchuan saw that he had lost a lot of weight. He was originally a stocky man who could compete with Lu Yao, but now he had lost two laps of weight, at least a quarter of his weight, and his temples were also white.

As soon as Wu Shaoyi coughed, his cheeks turned abnormally red.

Back then, he used the technique of replacing flowers and trees to force his life to continue. This was the price he had to pay for survival.

"How is your illness?"

"Originally there were only two years left, so Mr. He took me to see the great shaman of Zhaomandu." Wu Shaoyi said with a smile, "The great shaman prescribed some secret medicine for me. It was said that it could forcibly extend my life for about ten months, but in the end It will be very painful for two months. I came here today to get the medicinal materials that Mr. He ordered for me."

This man's life is numbered. He Lingchuan was so eloquent that he didn't know how to comfort him.

On the contrary, Wu Shaoyi was open-minded: "I have already thought about it. I will only die in the last two months. This life was chosen by force. It is a blessing to live for three more years. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?" ?”

He Lingchuan changed the topic and asked about Zeng Feixiong and others.

It turned out that Zeng Feixiong had gone to the camp west of Shihuan City and was training troops for He Chunhua, and Uncle Hao was not in Yuandu either.

As for Wu Shaoyi, he still has to follow He Chunhua south to put down the rebellion.

Yes, although He Chunhua was working with King Yuan to get Qiao, he knew very well that in the end he would have to shoulder the task of suppressing the rebellion.

Wu Shaoyi was ill and couldn't go on the field to fight, but he had rich experience in fighting. Not only could he make suggestions, but he also had a better grasp of the psychology of "rebels" than others - wasn't he a general under "Holy Master" Hong Xiangqian in the past? , and was later recruited by He Chunhua.

Therefore, He Chunhua still wanted to take him with him.

Wu Shaoyi sighed: "After the war in the south is over, Master He will allow me to return to Yuandu to take care of myself and live a peaceful life for two years."

He Lingchuan smiled: "I'm afraid it's not up to us to decide whether our life is safe or not."

Wu Shaoyi lightly clapped his hands for these words: "Young Master is absolutely right. There is rebellion in the south, and Dong Haoming is in the northwest. Alas! The people of Yuan Kingdom don't know when they will be able to hope for peace."

"I think dad is still confident about countering the rebellion in the south this time." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "There is no way out, and the turning point may be just a thought away."

He and Wu Shaoyi have different mentality. The latter can only drift with the tide as the sun sets, but He Lingchuan will always be optimistic at all times.

Those who have experienced the Battle of Xushan and still escaped from Lingxu City alive have the right to be optimistic.

The two chatted about old times again, and He Lingchuan's heart moved: "By the way, do you know where Sun Hongye went?"

"Sun Hongye?" Wu Shaoyi looked confused, "He left?"

He wasn't even as well informed as He Lingchuan.

He Lingchuan was helpless.

But Wu Shaoyi continued: "Young Master, you can ask Shan Youjun, he has a good relationship with Sun Hongye."

"Huh?" He Lingchuan was a little strange, "Can they hang out together?"

Why didn't Shan Youjun mention it?

"They are similar in age, both work under Mr. He, and have no relatives or friends around them, so it's not surprising to get closer." Wu Shaoyi recalled, "I remember that I saw them having a drink at Songhua House in Dunyu a few days ago. You Jun also borrowed fifty taels of silver from Sun Hongye."

Fifty taels? For a guest with a fixed salary, this is not a small sum of money.

Sun Hongye was willing to lend 50,000 yuan to Shan Youjun, which in itself showed that the two had a good relationship.

He Lingchuan said oh a few times and changed the topic.

At this time, the servant announced that a distinguished guest from Wang Ting was visiting!

Wu Shaoyi realized what was going on, stood up and left.

The soul-catching mirror immediately shouted: "That boy Shan Youjun clearly said that he and Sun Hongye are not familiar with each other! He lied!"

Our friendship is so good that I dare to ask for a loan, haha!

Has he paid the money yet?

He Lingchuan hummed.

Why did Shan Youjun lie? Are you afraid of getting burned if you know the inside story, or are you inextricably linked to Sun Hongye's disappearance?
