Ancestor Above

Whoever gets rid of the foxes that obstruct the trade route will own the interests of the mortal trade on this trade route. This matter is quite reasonable, and it was decided by the strong push of the Zhao family at that time.

At that time, Zhao Pingsong thought that the Han clan was the weakest, the Lu clan was the second, and the Zhao clan was the strongest. Neither of the Lu and Han families have monks in the Qiming period, and unless the monks have special spiritual awareness and soul ability, they can't catch those foxes.

There is no such person in the Lu and Han families.

In contrast, the Zhao family is the easiest to clear the fox group. There is a foundation-building cultivator in the Zhao family, who has cultivated a divine soul method, and is a bit more powerful in this regard.

If you go back and invite the senior cultivator of that family, you can easily open up the business path. Isn't this income in the hands of their Zhao family?

The income of the trade between the two counties, even if it is just a mortal trade, can accumulate about twenty spirit stones in a year, and this money is enough to support two qi cultivators.

Not to mention, if you control the income of a business road, you can set up a special caravan to operate it yourself, and the income will be greatly improved; if you own an outward business road, you can also arrange fertilizers in the county government, so that the family can The control power of Pingyao County has further increased...

Unexpectedly, the cultivator of the family did not have time to come over in a short period of time, and this matter dragged on for five years.

Originally, Zhao Pingsong thought it was nothing. Anyway, the remaining two could not solve this problem, but unexpectedly, the Lu family suddenly got it.

To be honest, this is a bit beyond Zhao Pingsong's expectations.

He was sure that the Lu family would use this matter to further seek control over Pingyao County.

But he thought about it for a while, and then he felt that this might not be a bad thing.

I was still thinking before that what happened to his son Zhao Qingan caused the Lu family to rise up and damage the interests of the Zhao family in Pingyao County. How should the family account for this part of the shortage, but this turned around and came up with an excuse.

If the Lu family wants to fight for more benefits, let them fight for it, and he only needs to transfer the previous losses to this time, and then he can smooth out the previous shortfalls. For this reason, it doesn't matter if the Lu family wants to fight for benefits this time.

Anyway, the loss is the family interests. The income turned over by Pingyao County is to be given to the family, not into his own pocket. By contrast, keeping the son from punishment is a little more important.

Of course, instead of destroying the demon fox, he let the Lu family take the lead. There will definitely be questions from the family, but the problem is not too big. After all, he had reported this matter to the family a long time ago. It was the family who had not sent the foundation-building cultivator, who was good at searching for divine consciousness, for a long time. What does it have to do with him, Zhao Pingsong?

After thinking about the whole thing clearly, he is also sure of how to talk to Lu Chaojun, the fifth elder of the Lu family.

...

Lu Chaojun is eighty-seven years old this year. He has the ninth level of Qi practice and is a monk with three spiritual roots.

It stands to reason that the talent of Sanlinggen is neither good nor too bad. When his father was still there, he had sufficient resources, and he had a chance to hit the foundation-building stage.

But when I was young, I was ignorant. I felt that I had an old Jindan ancestor as a father, and I was not afraid of anything. After a few times of education, it only converged a little.

In terms of cultivation, it is definitely not hard work, and the progress of cultivation is not fast.

Later, when the family fell into disrepair, of course, he was also tempered. His character was much better, and he was more at ease. He was determined to practice hard.

The prodigal son can't make up for the lost time.

After the decline of the family, the resources are far from what it was when Lu Qing was still there. He was not a good talent in the first place, and he could not reverse the situation. By the time he reached the ninth level of Qi training, he was already over sixty years old, and his Qi and blood had declined.

Missed the opportunity to build a foundation.

In this case, Lu Chaojun has reached the end of the ninth level of Qi training in this life, and he is about one hundred and twenty years old.

Regret is of course regret, but at such an old age, he has gradually understood some truths: the sins he made, he carried on his own.

Pingyao County has always been a very important part of the family's income, especially after the decline, the more than 200 spiritual stones every year are also a lot of money, so naturally an important family cultivator is needed.

In the past, the foundation-building cultivators from the family took turns in charge. Later, the struggle between the Zhao and Lu families subsided. Although the relationship was still bad, the Zhao family removed the foundation-building cultivator, and the Lu family did not need to keep it any longer, so they just sent The people who practiced the ninth level of Qi came over.

Lu Chaojun is that person.

This time, his seventh brother Lu Chaohe came to the news that the Dadong fox group on the business road had been wiped out by the family. He immediately understood what the seventh brother wanted to express, and began to prepare to form a caravan to Luyi County. , and after those fox furs were delivered, they were displayed.

Then, as expected, he received a message from Zhao Pingsong and asked him to talk about something.

Before going to Zhao Pingsong, he was ready to negotiate hard. That guy is not easy to deal with, and is also an old fox.

But after talking to Zhao Pingsong and returning, he felt that the whole thing seemed a little dreamy.

When it comes to interests, the lions always open their mouths and talk slowly. He first put forward a condition that he thought was very favorable beforehand, and was ready to fight Zhao Pingsong for a long time, but the opponent was far softer than he thought. In one afternoon, the two parties reached an agreement on the business road. The Lu family got a lot more than expected.

Of course he was very happy, but after coming out, he always felt that something was wrong. When did this old Zhao family become so talkative?

He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of what was wrong with the things he talked to Zhao Pingsong just now.

"Is it possible that there will be a problem in execution?" Thinking this way, he decided that when he established a caravan and obtained the interests that belonged to the Lu family, he must keep an eye on it, lest the Zhao family make a fool of himself.

What happened next proved that he thought too much.

The Zhao family has shown sincerity, talking about good things, not bad, and giving everything that should be given.

Ten days later, the first wave of caravans set off; two months later, Pingyao and Luyi counties resumed normal business exchanges.

Lu Chaojun stared at this matter closely. After staring at it for more than a year, the situation was calm, and the Zhao family really didn't do anything wrong.

This is a bit strange, but Lu Chaojun could not have imagined that the whole thing turned out to be because Zhao Pingsong did not report the truth to the family in order to cover up his son's mistakes.
