"Ah sneezing!" Standing on the roof of Rou's grandfather, Yun Zhao sneezed hard, rubbed his nose hard, then lowered his head and spread new thatch on the roof of Rou's grandfather. At this time, he naturally didn't know that in another place, someone was already thinking about him.

"Brother Yun, it's windy above, don't let the cold!" Rou Niang, who was standing in the yard below, said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm strong!" Yun Zhao raised his arms and put a stern gesture, which made Rou Niang below laugh, "It's going to be done soon!"

After laying the last bundle of thatch and tidying it up, Yun Zhao slipped down the roof, and reached the edge of the eaves, hooking his hand against the rafters, and flicking it down, Rou Niang screamed again. Before he could stop, he saw Yun Zhao standing firmly on the ground, and he couldn't help but feel angry again, "It's almost twenty years old, and he's still like a young boy. He's thinking about scaring people!"

Although the weather was cold, there was still a steaming heat on Yun Zhao's head. He took off his cotton jacket and only wore a thin little gown. The raised muscles on his body were particularly conspicuous and stylish. Rou Niang glanced at him and her face turned red inexplicably. She handed a towel and said, "Wipe the sweat."

"Yeah!" He took the towel, wiped it on grass, picked up an axe at the corner of the wall, and walked to another corner of the yard, where there were a pile of white Yang trees that had just been cut back.

"Let's rest for a while, drink some water before drying!" Rou Niang said with pain.

"It's okay, you're not tired!" Yun Zhao looked at Rou Niang, "What's the calculation of this little work? If you split these trees, you won't be short of firewood this winter."

Mr. Qin brought out a chair and placed it in the sun. He sat on it freely, squinted his eyes and basked in the sun. Yun Zhao worked in sweat. He had no intention of feeling distressed. He was going to become his son-in-law immediately. His daughter gave him all, so what was the point of doing some work!

"Brother Yun!" Mr. Qin, whose eyes were closed, shouted.

While waving his axe, Yun Zhao cut the big tree into neat small cutouts, he looked up at Mr. Qin, "Sir!"

"In the past few days, the peddlers in the village said that the court and the Mongolian people have negotiated peace, do you know?"

"I know!" Yun Zhao said loudly: "I heard that there is a need to set up a court station to do business with Mongolians!"

Mr. Qin nodded, "Yes, it's rare. The two families finally stopped fighting. It's peaceful. The days ahead will be better day by day."

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "Sir, I don't know. Those who are used to robbing people are used to robbing them. This is said to be a peace talks, so they will not rob them and do business honestly?"

Mr. Qin looked at him dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? This is an alliance formed by the courts on both sides. How dare you not abide by it? Is this a life? This battle cannot be fought. As for you, you don't need to join the army. After getting married to Rou Niang, you can live a peaceful life and give me a few more fat boys!"

Yun Zhao laughed horrified, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do it."

With a bang, the head was hit hard. When he turned around, Rou Niang, who was on the side, blushed and picked up a branch and knocked it on her head.

Mr. Qin squinted his eyes, as if he was unaware of anything, "Lucheng has set up a venue and will surely prosper. I was thinking that by then, you can go to the city to find a job! When Lucheng flourishes, more and more people will be there, and I can also go there and find something to do. I am a scholar and should be easy to find something to do."

"If you are always bored in Yunjia Village, you won't have any prospects. We still have to find a way to go to the city!" Mr. Qin opened his eyes and looked at Yun Zhao and said.

Yun Zhao held the chopped firewood and made neat stacks under the eaves. He turned to look at Mr. Qin, "Sir, just look at it. I don't care. Just be with Rou Niang, that's fine!"

Mr. Qin nodded with satisfaction.

The court and the Mongolians discussed peace talks with each other and would set up a transaction site for the two parties in Lucheng. While the news was still fermenting throughout the Great Rise, in Tanzhou, hundreds of kilometers away from Lucheng, the upcoming Lord Lu, Sima Ruizheng, sat respectfully in the lower head, and the person sitting in the upper head was one of the core figures of the Sima family, Sima Ren, the governor of Tanzhou.

"Ari, I have been working hard to let you go to Luzhou this time. You know that although the family has won this position, there are many people in the clan who are more qualified than you!"

Sima Rui stood up and bowed to Sima Ren, "Rui is grateful for his uncle's love. But I dare to obey everything in the future if my uncle has given me instructions."

Sima Ren laughed and said, "You are good at this, and you are grateful to others. This is why I strive to let you come. You sit, you sit!"

Sima Rui sat down sideways, "This time I went to Lucheng to perform my duties, I don't know what uncle wants to remind me."

"No one was willing to go to Lucheng before, but now the market has opened, it has become a hot commodity. There is no need to say that the wealth is rising, but if you really want to make money, do you know what you need to do first?"

"I know, I just need to firmly control Lucheng."

"You are right. Feng Congyi has been in Lucheng for decades and has a deep foundation. If he doesn't leave, you will not be able to gain a foothold. Now that he has taken him away, the remaining deputy general Wang Min is brave but not resourceful, and there is no need to worry about it. Then do you know what the most important thing to do if you want to control Lucheng?"

Sima Rui smiled and said, "Lucheng is a military camp with 10,000 troops in it, but the only one who is truly combative is the first battalion that Feng Congyi personally led before. If you want to gain a foothold there, you must control the first battalion."

Sima Ren nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you have done a lot of homework. What you are talking about is the key point. After going to Lucheng, the court should be opened as soon as possible. Although the court will send special officials to manage Lucheng, you are a local snake at that time, and are you afraid that he will turn out your palm?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I will let Lucheng Quochang become the source of wealth for our Sima family."

Sima Ren shook his head, "You are wrong. Although it is easy to make money here, we can't get the money we get."

Sima Rui was shocked, "Uncle?"

Sima Ren said: "Because every tael of silver you get here must be given to the eldest prince!"

"Big Prince?" Sima Rui stood up.

"Our Sima family has always been attached to the great prince. The bet is that the great prince will succeed to the throne in the future. Now the throne is extremely fierce. Apart from the great prince, the fourth, the eighth, and the ninth are not easy. Therefore, the great prince needs a lot of money to win over the court officials, raise dead soldiers and counselors, and also establish his reputation among the court and the opposition. Isn't this just piled up with money?"

"I asked you to go to Lucheng, and I also set up a channel for you to contact the eldest prince directly. You must grasp it!"

"I understand!" Sima Rui said excitedly.

"The venue has been established, and there must be many eyes staring there, and countless hands will reach there. What are you going to do?"

Sima Rui gritted his teeth and said, "If anyone who is not a great prince, I will cut off their hands and feet."

Sima Ren shook his head: "How did this happen? Isn't this a big enemy for the prince before I got the money? You know, those who have the ability to reach out will be worthwhile people."

"Where, what should I do?"

"You, you're still doing less work, less experience, and more attentive in the future!" Sima Ren said dissatisfiedly: "There are a lot of goods on the market. If others reach out to their hands, they will let them go. As long as you can get a little oil and water from it, it's enough, but there are two things that you must hold firmly in your hands and not let others get involved."

"What are these two things?"

"One is salt, two is iron!" Sima Ren said slowly.

Sima Rui's face turned pale, "Uncle, these are things that the imperial court strictly prohibits from being sent to Mongolian people."

"It is precisely because of the strict prohibition that there will be huge profits! Only by making big money can you make."

"It's okay, but if this iron is sent over in large quantities, isn't this a reward for the enemy? Uncle, although we have negotiated peace with the Mongolian people, everyone knows that the two families will sooner or later be able to fight, and this is helping the enemy grow stronger!" Sima Rui said.

"School!" Sima Ren scolded: "Meng people are just barbarians. Even with some Tiexue, they have the ability to invade our Central Plains. You have not seen that although they have made trouble on the border from time to time in recent years, have they made any big noises? The most important thing now is to let the eldest prince win in this battle. When the eldest prince ascends the throne, it is not too late for us to deal with the Mongolian people again!"

"At present, His Majesty the Emperor's body is getting worse day by day. A few days ago, the message came out. His Majesty coughed up blood again. I don't know how long it will last. We will fight every second!"

"Yes, my nephew understands!"

"This time I went to Lucheng, in addition to doing things for the eldest prince, there is another thing. You can also pay attention to it. If it is easy, you can do it!"

"I don't know what my uncle is referring to?"

"One person's head!" Sima Ren said slowly. "Someone asked me to take this person's head. Hehe, if you do this for him, they will owe us a favor. Maybe there will be a big deal in our hands at that time, so why not do it? It's just that if you can do it, if you can't do it. In short, it is based on the big things that will not affect the prince."

"I wonder whose head this person is going to have?"

"Shen Feng, a horse bandit leader entrenched in the desert!" Sima Ren said.
