Chapter 406 The Harsh Qin Family
"Master, what should we do?" Xie Bai interrupted Xie Zhan's thoughts.
Lu Fei and others also looked at him.
Xie Zhan said lightly, "Why panic? Let's do what we should do and don't be affected by it."
At this point, they should focus on themselves.
In general, the impact of this incident on him is not big or small.
In general, the development of the power of Lu Songli's group is just a little faster than he expected.
But it doesn't matter. Liaodong County and even Pingzhou are in a corner. If they want to expand their territory, they can only expand to Youzhou in the west. And the governor of Youzhou is not an easy person to deal with.
And he has planted a nail in their group, and when the critical moment comes, it will surely play an unexpected role.
"But Master, after Lu Desheng became the governor of Pingzhou, he governed four counties, one more than us." Xie Bai said in a low voice.
Xie Bai knew that when their Xie family became the leader of the southern family, the family members were very proud for a long time.
Xie Zhan: "So what?" Their southern land governs three counties, Nanhai County, Cangwu County, and Hepu County. Now they are just overtaken by Lu Songli. It is normal for both sides to win and lose.
Xie Bai was speechless.
Xie Zhan said to Xie Bai, "You care too much about the gains and losses of the moment."
There are priorities, and the most urgent thing is not to adjust the arrows to deal with Lu Songli.
Just like playing chess, they have just started, and there is really no need to worry about the loss of one piece. After all, the final chess game depends on the situation.
He and Lu Songli, one in the south and one in the north, each occupy a place.
Now is the golden period to strive to develop and expand their own power. It is not the time to fight to the death for territory and resources.
Of course, if he could kill the other party while he was still weak, or if he could trip him up at any time, he would still do it. The former can be done with all his strength, and the latter requires little effort.
Those present were all confidants, and Xie Zhan broke it down and told them.
Xie Bai nodded, indicating that he understood, "Then the head of the family, I will go back to the South tomorrow."
"Well, wait a minute, we will go back with you tomorrow." Xie Zhan planned to go back to the South after saying goodbye to that person tomorrow.
Xie Bai looked at him in surprise, but he knew that the head of the family had always had a good idea, and he would not change his mind once he made a decision.
So he could only say, "Okay."
Xie Zhan had long known that recruiting talents was a process of grinding water, and the more talented they were, the more difficult it was to recruit them. He would slowly grind it later.
Southland, Xie clan land
It has been nearly a month since Zhao Yutan gave birth.
On this day, Zhao Yutan's mother, Luo, came to visit her daughter again. When she saw Old Lady Xie, she couldn't help asking about her son-in-law's whereabouts.
Facing her in-laws' doubts, Old Lady Xie, Xie Zhan's mother, could only say, "I have already sent him a letter and told him that Ah Tan had given birth and he had a son, but he might be busy, so he couldn't come back in time. Mother-in-law, when you come, please persuade Ah Tan more and tell her not to think too much. Think about it, isn't Ah Zhan running around outside for us?"
Luo could only say, "Okay, I will persuade her."
"Then you go into the room to see her, I'll go to the kitchen to see."
After Luo went in, she saw her daughter holding the child, looking depressed, so she told her what her mother-in-law had just said.
Zhao Yutan listened quietly. Since she gave birth to her son, she was looking forward to her husband coming back to see her and her son. Unfortunately, later, Xie Nan and Xie Bai came back, but he didn't come back, but went to Linchuan County instead.
Zhao Yutan felt lost when she heard the news.
Luo advised her to be more open-minded and be content.
Luo really thought that Xie Zhan was a good son-in-law. First of all, the Zhao family was in trouble, and the son-in-law was willing to help them, which was considered to be affectionate. Now he has considerable power, and he has not taken concubines or married a young wife. The previous wife of the Chen family does not count, because that was the choice made by the son-in-law under desperation.
Now the only problem is that he is not often with his daughter, but she thinks it is okay for a man to spend time on building achievements and working hard for them.
Hearing these words, Zhao Yutan felt that she was going crazy.
Her mother didn't know that if her husband took a woman to heart, he would hold her in his palm and love her to the bone, instead of being so cold.
Now that she has given birth to a son, she can't attract the attention of her husband. She really doesn't know what to do.
Liaodong County, Houcheng
On this day, the Qin brothers went home together.
It was Mother Qin's birthday, and they couldn't make a big celebration, so they could only go back to have a meal with her.
It was also on this day that the imperial edict for the promotion of Lü Desheng to the governor of Pingzhou arrived.
The Qin brothers got a glimpse of the whole picture. During this period, under the planning of the sixth sister-in-law, they actually achieved two major results.
The first result was to promote Lü Shu to the governor of Pingzhou, and the second result was to earn back one million shi of grain for Liaodong County.
"The sixth sister-in-law is so amazing!" Qin Zhao was amazed.
Qin Zhao was stationed in Da County, and the 500,000 shi of grain brought back by Ji Wuyin was the cargo he led people to unload.
He was thinking at the time that if the Minister of Finance of the Dali court had half the ability of their sixth sister-in-law, they would not lack food and grass in the war.
The others nodded in agreement, it was indeed amazing. Although the sixth sister-in-law had mentioned the plan to them before, the result was uncertain after all. Now that the result came out, it completely fulfilled what she said before.
At this time, Qin Zhao suddenly said, "Brother, do you think we should prepare the cavalry and navy of Pingzhou?"
Everyone looked at Qin Heng.
The brothers present knew what Qin Zhao meant by asking this question, and what their eldest brother's answer meant.
Before, Uncle Lu used the merits of Nanyang to ask the new emperor to redress the Qin family, and the new emperor's approach really made them angry and chilled.
When they heard that the new emperor suppressed Uncle Lu's memorial, they felt that the new emperor was too harsh on the Qin family.
Those who were not strong-minded would be desperate at this moment.
This incident made them realize that in the dynasty dominated by Song Mo, their Qin family seemed to be exiled forever and could never be redressed.
They worked hard to strengthen the military strength of Pingzhou. Not to mention what would happen in the future, at least they had a strong army and would not be slaughtered.
Qin Heng expressed his opinion, "Third brother, I agree with your suggestion, but I still have to ask the sixth brother's wife about this matter."
Don't think that the sixth brother's wife brought back one million stones of grain this time, which seems to be a lot. But now that their group's territory has expanded, it also means that they have to feed more people.
In the past, the sixth sister-in-law only nursed Liaodong County, but now she has to include Liaoxi County, Xuantu County, and Lelang County under her.
The sixth sister-in-law has a heavy burden.
Qin Heng explained the reason, and Qin Yan and others nodded to show their understanding.
They found that some of the words said by the sixth sister-in-law were quite vivid, such as the word "nurse".
"Six, can you ask your wife in the evening?"
"Okay."
Qin Zhao patted his shoulder, "You see the situation. If it doesn't work, you sacrifice yourself and make sure she agrees."
Qin Sheng glanced at him, as if to say, do you still need to teach me this?
