On this day, Dong Luo just had a little leisure, so he came back early to accompany Lu Qiling to practice swords.

Since the last time Lu Qiling was hit, she has spent more time practicing martial arts every day.

Originally, she would have been able to catch Dong Luo practicing swords with her before, and she would definitely be pestered, but today, halfway through the practice, she took the initiative to stop.

“What’s wrong?”

Dong Luo handed over the sword, and the two big Qiao and Xiao Qiao who were guarding next to him immediately came over.

One took the wooden sword in Dong Luo’s hand, and the other held a towel to wipe Dong Luo’s sweat.

But there is no sweat.

But Lu Qiling was soaked.

Dong Luo then found that this girl had grown a little.

Moreover, he has been practicing martial arts for many years, his body is slender, and his heroic posture is sassy, and he looks like another style among a group of weak beauties in Dong Luo’s backyard.

Lu Qiling came over.

“Xiangguo, Sister Zhen Mi seems to have something on her mind, you better go and take a look.”

Dong Luo heard this, “What’s the matter with her?” ”

Besides, if something happened, he was under her quilt the night before, why didn’t he say it?

But Lu Qiling said this, then something must have happened.

Reaching out and rubbing Lu Qiling’s head, Dong Luo said, “I’ll take a look.” ”

“Well, Sangkook don’t forget to accompany me to practice swords for a while tomorrow.”

Lu Qiling did not impatiently want to avoid Dong Luo’s hand as before, but stood very obediently and let Dong Luo rub her head.

“I’ll talk about it tomorrow when I’m free.”

Dong Luo said and walked towards Zhen Mi’s place.

After Dong Luo left, Lu Qiling also reached out and touched the place on her head, where Dong Luo’s hand had just touched.

After giggling, he took the sword and continued to practice.

Dong Luo came to Zhen Mi’s place.

When he came in, he happened to see Zhen Mi holding his forehead with his hand, looking a little sad.

“What’s going on?”

“Ah, Sangkook, why are you here.”

Zhen Mi was taken aback, and quickly got up to greet him.

Dong Luo walked over, picked Zhen Ji up, and then sat in her original position, looked at the things on the case, and suddenly frowned.

“Why, your Zhen family has a financial crisis?”

The Zhen family, a large household in Jizhou, moved most of them to Chang’an and contributed a lot of property and food to Dong Luo.

Zhen Ji put her hand around Dong Luo’s neck and exhaled like a lan, very pleased with Dong Luo’s concern.

“It’s nothing, it’s just friction with some families, losing a little money.”

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

But knowing that it was Dong Luo standing behind Zhen Mi, and there were people who didn’t have long eyes like this, it wasn’t quite right.

Dong Luo saw that Zhen Mi didn’t want to say much, so he was ready to start.

Zhen Mi exclaimed, “Xiangguo, it’s not dark yet!” ”

“And how!”

After a long time, Dong Luo sat up straight. Let Zhen Mi help him get dressed.

“Let’s talk about it now, it’s probably not a small thing to make Ben Xiangguo’s concubine have such a headache.”

Zhen Mi still had a residual crimson on her face, and glanced at Dong Luo with some resentment.

The door outside wasn’t closed just now!

After helping him get dressed, he also tidied up himself.

“It is also because the concubine is a person from Xiangguo, and in the eyes of some people who have a Han family, the Zhen family is hateful.”

“Oh? Then it is not surprising, those people, always have some head iron. Dong Luo sneered.

Perhaps, I can cut the stubble again.

Seeing the expression on Dong Luo’s face, Zhen Mi knew that Dong Luo might want to take the opportunity to raid the house again.

“Xiangguo, do you know the Geng family of Fufeng Maoling?”

Dong Luo nodded, “You know, Geng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai under Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu. ”

This is an old family, entrenched in Fufeng for nearly two hundred years.

Now it seems that there is also a Geng Ji who serves as a chamberlain in the dynasty and has always been relatively neutral.

Well… Dong Luo’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Remember, in the Three Kingdoms, this guy joined others to rebel and wanted to attack and kill Cao Cao.

Zhen Ji exhaled, and said it if she wanted to, and it was good to give Xiangguo a wake-up call.

“When the Zhen family moved to Chang’an, they must also do business, otherwise how can the concubine have money to give Xiangguo you.”

Speaking of this, Zhen Mi raised his head and glanced at Dong Luo quietly, and saw that he was indifferent, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

“But when the Zhen family’s caravan went to Fufeng, it was driven out by the Geng family, and several people from the Zhen family were arrested, and my eldest brother went to negotiate with them, and they were also detained.”

“On the surface, the people of the Zhen family harassed the women of the people under the protection of the Geng family, but the fundamental reason is that they want to dominate the wind and refuse to let our caravan do business there, let alone allow us to open shops.”

Dong Luo slapped the table after hearing this, “What a big bold!” Fufeng County belongs to the country of Benxiang, where is their Geng family’s!”

Zhen Mi nodded, “Naturally, but this is a private confrontation between the family, on the surface, they are not less taxable, but…”

“But what?”

Zhen Ji did not say directly, but asked Dong Luo seriously.

“Sangkook, do you think there are many servants of the family? And the recluse. ”

Dong Luo’s gaze froze instantly.

How much!

That’s a lot!

Wang Yun before was able to scrape together more than 10,000 private soldiers overnight.

As for the recluse, this is also a big problem.

If there are more hidden households, won’t the taxes of the country be less?

Zhen Ji continued, “My eldest brother said that when he went to the Geng family, he saw at least five thousand private soldiers in the Geng family, as well as many hidden families. ”

Dong Luo listened, his eyes flashed coldly, and he stretched out his hand to touch Zhen Mi’s white throat.

“What about your Zhen family?”

Zhen Mi was frightened, “Our Zhen family has no private soldiers, the total number of people in Chang’an is not more than one hundred and fifty, and there are no hidden households in Jizhou.” ”

“That’s good.”

Dong Luo took Zhen Mi into his arms.

I didn’t pay attention to it before, but now that I think about it, I know that the problem is quite serious.

If nothing else, let’s just say that when he faced Ma Teng Hansui before, Jiang Xu and Jiang Fan, the county guards of Anding County, directly led more than 10,000 troops to block Han Sui.

After that, Anding County added the paperwork and updated the number of county soldiers.

Before that, there were only four thousand county soldiers in Anding County.

“The Jiang family is also a great surname of Anding, if you don’t cooperate, even if your family will produce Jiang Wei in the future, Ben Xiangguo will not be spared.”

“Xiangguo, what Jiang Wei?” Zhen Mi looked at Dong Luo a little strangely.

“It’s okay.” Dong Luo stood up, “Go and take a bath, Ben Xiangguo is resting here today.” ”

“Whoosh!” Zhen Mi was overjoyed when she heard this.

Dong Luo then walked to the study.

Today, after Zhen Mi’s reminder, Dong Luo decided to do something big.

Measure the land and count the population!

Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu had also done it before, but in the end, it was overwhelmed.

But this country did not rely only on the powerful family.

The generals under him are hardly powerful families.

Those who dare not cooperate and resist will all talk to them with butcher knives.

Just see, whether their necks are hard, or the butcher knife of Ben Xiangguo is hard.

The people are the foundation of the country, and poetry heirlooms like the Yingchuan Xun family are also okay.

But annexing land and concealing the power of the population is not.
