Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Chu Tianjiao brought the contract with Lu Yuanzhong to Marquis Liyang for discussion.

According to the content of the contract, Chu Tianjiao needs to organize a convoy to protect the safety of the caravan.

"Daughter, are you cooperating too closely with the Third Prince? Will this cause the Third Prince to misunderstand?"

Marquis Liyang was a little worried.

After all, now that the crown prince has not yet been established, the third prince is also one of the contenders for the crown prince.

The Chu family and the Wang family are already married. Is this a bit like riding on two different boats?

Chu Tianjiao told Marquis Liyang one by one the ins and outs of the matter.

When he learned that this contract involved an annual income of nearly 50 taels, Marquis Li Yang was so frightened that he could not speak for a long time.

"Dad, are you opposed to cooperating with the Third Prince?"

Seeing Li Yanghou's appearance, Chu Tianjiao felt a little scared.

His father, who is in charge of the three armies, has long ago developed the courage to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai. Why is he acting like this now, as if he is frightened.

It took Marquis Liyang a long time to come to his senses.

He held the contract in his hand, read it carefully again, then waved his palm and said loudly:

"Daughter, if you want a man to give someone, or a horse to give a horse, just go ahead and do it. If you like anyone in our military camp, just pick it.

If anyone delays me from making money, I will kill him! "

Chu Tianjiao patted his chest, calmed down, and said jokingly: "Dad, isn't it just 50 taels? Why are you so surprised?"

Marquis Liyang stared at Chu Tianjiao with tiger eyes, bent down, tried to be as gentle as possible, and asked flatteringly:

"Daughter, are you feeling a little dizzy? Five hundred thousand taels! Not 50 taels. They come every year. You earned all this money to give to our Chu family army, right?"

Chu Tianjiao nodded.

Marquis Liyang immediately straightened up and laughed loudly: "Daughter, 50 taels per year, we can build five more cavalry battalions, and we can also build a heavy armored cavalry battalion.

By then, is there anywhere in the world that our Chu family army cannot defeat?

My daughter, even if the third prince says he wants to be emperor, as long as he gives me the money on time every year, I will support him! "

Chu Tianjiao guessed that his father would go crazy when he saw the money. As expected, his words were really incoherent.

"Dad, don't talk nonsense. If Lu Yuanzhong knew that the throne could be bought in this way, he would definitely not give money so easily."

Marquis Liyang, this is just an exaggeration, but the Chu family army has indeed been very poor in recent years.

The wealth accumulated by the Chu family over the past century is about to be emptied.

It's all because the imperial court is now too poor, always in arrears with military pay and pensions, and constantly reducing the military establishment.

But if no money is given, the war will continue to be fought.

The Chu family couldn't bear to see the soldiers bleeding and sweating, not getting military pay, and starving, so they could only continue to supplement them.

"Dad, don't be too happy too early. This money will have to wait until the caravan comes back every year and the settlement will be made. Now it is just a bad check.

I came here to discuss with you that I want to form a separate team.

This team, which does not join the establishment of the imperial army, serves as caravan guards in peacetime and can be drawn out to fight in wartime. "

"Daughter, isn't that a private soldier? How many people are you planning to recruit?"

"The first batch of 5000 people, all cavalry. I will pay this money first, and then allocate military pay from the proceeds of the caravan."

"5000 people? Isn't it too eye-catching?"

"No, instead of going to the capital to recruit troops, I will go to the fief first and recruit people there."

"Yes, you can, but you have to do it more covertly. It just so happens that the imperial court has given us a quota of [-] soldiers this time, so let's recruit them together."

If it were in the past, Marquis Liyang would definitely object to recruiting so many private soldiers, which would be tantamount to rebellion.

But since Emperor Chengzong almost asked Chu Tianjiao to marry him, Marquis Liyang's heart became cold.

He agreed with Chu Tianjiao's contempt for imperial power.

The father and daughter had discussed this matter in depth.

Chu Tianjiao believes that the Chu family should be loyal to the people of Li country, not the Lu family sitting on the dragon throne.

Although Li Yanghou was a little unable to turn around for a while, after experiencing so much recently, he began to think that his daughter's idea was right.

Whoever in the Lu family wants to sit on the dragon chair can sit on it, but if the Chu family wants to protect the country and the people of Li country, they cannot be completely controlled by the imperial court.

After all, this Liguo country does not belong to the Lu family.

Speaking of which, the ancestors of the Chu family led the way and accompanied Emperor Taizu in conquering Liguo's country.

Now governed by Lu Yunkui, the treasury is empty, the people are in dire straits, foreign enemies are everywhere, and the country is in danger of being destroyed at any time.

If the Chu family continues to follow Lu Yunkui into darkness, they will surely experience the pain of national subjugation.

The Chu family has absolutely no involvement in government affairs. They can only act on their own in military affairs. They must first strengthen the army and gain enough voice before doing anything else.

The father and daughter began to discuss the details. Building a new army was not just about money, it involved too many details.

The two of them discussed until dinner time before basically deciding on a strategy.

"Dad, I will go to Wusheng County in a few days. There is an iron mine there that my people discovered accidentally.

I went there to recruit troops and build an iron-making workshop to make weapons and armor.

Please come forward and ask Prime Minister Wang to help replace the magistrate of Wusheng County and the governor of Ganzhou with our people. "

Marquis Liyang said: "The governor of Ganzhou was originally promoted by your grandfather. Don't worry. As the magistrate of Wusheng County, I will find a way."

After Chu Tianjiao went to Wusheng County, he originally planned to go directly to Dongyi to find Lu Yu, but he knew that this was too dangerous and neither Li Yanghou nor Mrs. Chu would agree, so he kept it in his heart and did not plan to tell him directly.

Then she would just set off from Wusheng and go straight to Dongyi.

That night, several people and horses stopped at the gate of Liyang Hou Mansion.

Chu Tianjiao was very happy to see Luo Nichang and the six Fengzi team members returning safely.

Luo Nishang was commended by the emperor for her meritorious service in controlling the Jiaozhou plague. Li Bochang wrote an excerpt to thank her.

However, because she was a woman, the emperor's awards were all gold, silver, and silk, and he also gave her a plaque saying "The Doctor's Benevolence".

The first thing Luo Nishang did after returning home was to discuss with Chu Tianjiao that she was going to open a medical clinic in Shangjing City.

Chu Tianjiao didn't object.

She was given the title deed to a shop, assigned a few manpower to her, and asked her to prepare it on her own.

The next day, Chu Tianjiao took the note of leave secretly written for her by Marquis Li Yang and returned to Taixue to go to school.

She didn't want to go to Wusheng County and come back and be fined to copy another hundred books.

Fortunately, Marquis Liyang was very open-minded and gave her a business reason, so she could ask for leave from Taixue openly.

Chu Tianjiao thought that when she came back from Dongyi, it would be time for him to graduate.

Chu Tianjiao lowered his head and walked away, enjoying himself.

On the road leading to the Master Silkworm Hall, a tall figure approached Chu Tianjiao. Chu Tianjiao raised his head and saw the person coming, raised his lips and smiled and asked:

"You're back too?"
