The Wang family was deliberately deliberate and wanted to get rid of the Chu family, the latter move must be more vicious and vicious.
The Chu family is in danger!
"It's really the Wang family, isn't our Chu family dangerous?" Even Chu Qiu was anxious this time. The whole family is here, can you not hurry
If the Chu family is really destroyed, the woman will be sold into the brothel or sold to other large households to serve as maids. Men are either killed or reduced to domestic slaves. Fate will be very miserable.
"You don't have to be too panic and get confused. Even in the county seat, the Wang family is considered to be a big family. The Wang family will not do anything like the Chu family that openly enters my Chu family. At most, it will be secretly. Suppress my Chu family."
The law is like a mountain!
The Wang family is still far from being able to cover the sky with one hand, killing and breaking the law, the Wang family will never dare to roll on the blade, blatantly violating court laws.
"There is one more thing, but you must beware."
"The Wang family has a lot of friendship with the bandits in Liuyun Mountain. At the moment when my Chu family is weak, if the bandits are called to plunder my Chu family, the harm will be great."
Chu Pengfei just calmly analyzed the tricks that the Wang family might use.
Big households like the Wang family usually raise one or two groups of horse thieves and bandits secretly, and let them do some unseen things.
This is also a commonly used method to evade the attack of the law.
The bandits in Liuyun Mountain were very fierce, and they had plundered the Chu family twice before. However, there are many masters in the Chu family, and they have sent money to the county to make arrangements. The bandits in Liuyun Mountain did not take advantage of it.
In recent years, the Chu family has become more and more prosperous, and the bandits of Liuyun Mountain are even more afraid to come.
Everyone in the Chu family feels a little heavy. Those bandits are murderers who kill people without blinking. If they really come, the Chu family will probably die a lot of people.
"Chu Fu, how much money is left in the public treasury?"
Chu Fu is the warehouse head of the Chu family public treasury, and is in charge of the property in the public treasury.
"This year's drought, the harvest in the fields is not very good! The cloth workshops and drug shops opened in the county seat have also suffered difficulties and exploitation by the county prime minister of the Wang family, and their income has also shrunk significantly, less than half of last year. The year's end is approaching. Thousands and six hundred taels were sent to the county officials and the mansion of Dianshi. Only eight thousand taels can be used."
In the past, at the end of the year, the Chu family's public warehouse had at least twenty thousand liang of silver left.
This time it was half less, which undoubtedly made the situation worse.
As a big local householder, you must have a good relationship with official figures. Otherwise, as long as an official with a little bit of real power is dissatisfied with the Chu family, it can ruin the Chu family's foundation.
Establishing a good relationship with the government can make the family more prosperous.
You can get some help if you really encounter something.
This is the Chu family, and the big clans like the Wang family can only provide more money. Only the eight-pin county eminent who needed money to support the official body was like mountains and seas.
"Take out six thousand taels from the eight thousand taels, and immediately rush to the county town to purchase some weapons, leather armor, bows and arrows. By the way, remember to go to the county lieutenant's mansion first and give you five hundred taels of silver tickets!"
If Chu Pengfei was not injured, these major events would have been done by him personally.
At least they will send elders who are sleek and sociable in the clan.
Buying a knife or two is nothing. If the Chu family purchases a large number of swords and bows and arrows, they must obtain authorization from the county lieutenant. Otherwise, the above investigation can be regarded as a major crime of treason.
The county lieutenant is only a ninth-rank official, and belongs to the low-end.
But in charge of a county's military power, patrol and anti-theft, etc., it is equivalent to the county public security chief and has very powerful powers. Moreover, this class of people has a dark heart and a bad heart. If they are not happy, they may find a reason to arrest a few masters of the Chu family and put them in jail, or even slander them as bandits, and kill them directly.
The Chu family was still too weak, and it was very difficult to guard against bandits.
Big tribes like the Wang family have deep roots. They not only built a dock, but also purchased a decommissioned ballista. Strong soldiers and horses, well equipped.
Not to mention the bandits, they are the soldiers of the county seat. It is very difficult to conquer the king's house.
"Patriarch, the money is all used to buy weapons, then the construction of the turret of our Chu family will be delayed again?" Chu Qiu couldn't help asking.
The turret is a must-have fortifications for large households, and a ballista is erected on it with great power.
With the help of the spring torsion, the ballista can shoot fifty catties of stone bullets three hundred meters away. Even if the elite soldiers in heavy armor hit them, they have to be turned into sludge. Even the eighth-tier master of the Wang family did not dare to resist.
However, building a turret costs a lot of money. Building a tower, applying for the purchase of retired ballistas, training gunners, and masters who need to maintain the ballistas, don’t even think about it if you don’t have tens of thousands of taels of silver.
In addition, you have to go to the three places of the county lord, the county lieutenant, and the Bingfang Dianshi to clear up the procedures, at least another thousand taels of silver.
Chu Pengfei sighed and waved weakly, "It's important to keep the Chu family right now, but I can't manage that much. Go ahead!"
Chu Feng didn't participate in the family meeting, because his time was very tight, and the most important thing right now was to break through to the Ninth Body Refinement and be admitted to the Martial Arts Academy.
The strength of the Chu family was greatly damaged, and new masters were too much needed to revitalize the family and hold on to the overall situation.
Chu Feng didn't know anything about the outside world, he was only practicing in the cave in the back mountain.
Although every time I come to Houshan Cave, I will feel uneasy, but practicing here can make the body better absorb the effects of the body refining pill. So Chu Feng still bite the bullet and cultivated here.
But as long as it gets darker, he will leave quickly.
Because just after noon every day, the cold atmosphere in the cave will gradually thicken. It seems that there are evil spirits and ghosts hiding in the depths of the cave, preparing to come out.
Chu Feng also heard from the elders of the clan that the morning is when the yang energy is at its peak of the day. After noon, the yang energy weakens and the yin energy becomes stronger, and the demons and ghosts will begin to move out. Especially at night, the Yin Qi is at its strongest, and it is the peak period of demons raging.
Therefore, adults often tell their children not to go out to play at night.
Chu Feng took a deep breath and glanced at the darkening sky outside. According to past practices, he should go back.
But today, he did not move.
Because he had taken three body refining pills, but he still could not break through to the ninth level of body refining, and there was still a big gap from the ninth level of body refining.
I didn't expect it to be so difficult to break through this last stage.
Seeing the last body refining pill left in his hand, Chu Feng felt very heavy. This is the silver that my father and mother had collected from selling swords and jewelry. If they can't break through to the ninth level of body refining, they must be very disappointed.
Chu Feng is sixteen years old this year, and he will be seventeen years old if he takes it for another year.
Everyone knows that in martial arts, the younger the younger, the more dominant.
Entering the martial arts a year earlier is very different from entering the martial arts a year later. The Martial Arts Academy has to be assessed every year, and the age requirements are extremely strict.
If they are over the age and the cultivation base fails to meet the corresponding requirements, they will be cleared and refunded.
"The cold and cold atmosphere in this cave is disturbing, but it is extremely beneficial to my cultivation. I will practice in the cave tonight, and I will subdue the last body refining pill, and strive to break through to the ninth level of body refining." Chu Feng Subconsciously turning his head to look into the depths of the cave behind him, the cold mist rolled and it seemed that there was a monster hidden in it, which made people fearful.
