Jinghong Tower

Chapter 241 The honeymoon period is extended

Jiang Tao thought about whether he should report to the boss what happened to Mr. He Er on the street.

He asked Lu Zhen, who shook his head: "Don't talk about such trivial matters."

Jiang Tao: "You're sorry. That's right. Mr. He Er is here to marry you. You don't need to worry about this matter. I'll report it to the boss. The boss might even take pity on you."

Lu Zhen was puzzled: "Why do you pity me?"

Jiang Tao: "It's a pity that you are being harassed!"

Lu Zhen: "Don't say it. Don't tell the boss about this!"

Jiang Tao: “Brother, I’m helping you!”

Lu Zhen: "No need!"

How could He Ran know about such an embarrassing thing?
Lu Zhen was afraid that Jiang Tao would secretly write a letter to He Ran without telling him. In the next few days, he would follow Jiang Tao wherever he went.

Jiang Tao did not write a letter to He Ran, so He Ran did not know these things about the He family.

She is very busy now. On the tenth day of the lunar month, Wu Ji came to Jinyang.

He came to discuss with He Ran on behalf of his father.

Seeing the orderly market in front of him and the people living and working in peace and contentment, Wu Ji had mixed feelings.

He still remembered that the first time their father and son discussed with He Ran was at Zhoujiapu in Pingyang.

At that time, He Ran only had a few maids with her.

Of course, she had people under her command at that time, but they were only a few hundred at most, which was incomparable to the Wu family.

Wu Ji still remembered that He Ran said she was going to fight Jinyang. To be honest, the father and son did not take He Ran's words seriously.

Although He Ran is the head of Jinghong Tower, what is the use of that?

At most, they just have some money and some information.

But war is a bottomless pit. Even if Jinghong Tower has money, it will only be a drop in the bucket if it can be used for war.

Therefore, in their opinion, He Ran at that time had nothing and was so poor that he only had Zhou Jian.

He Ran, who had nothing, used Cai Laosan's head to knock on the door of the Wu family, and used Zhou Jian to become a shareholder, forming an alliance with the Wu family, and together they destroyed the Cai family!
Wu Ji laughed at himself, if everything was still under control when he defeated the Cai family, then what happened after the Cai family was destroyed was out of control.

The father and son suffered successive blows and lost several counties in a row, but He Ran made great progress. Not only did she capture Jinyang, she also captured Xinzhou, and now she has Zhending in her bag.

If He Ran hadn't still cherished the love of the past, there would probably be no place for the Wu family to stay in the entire Jin region.

Wu Dongming decided to let Wu Ji come to Jinyang only after learning that He Ran had won Zhending.

Wu Ji relayed his father's thoughts to He Ran. In the new year, Wu still hopes to cooperate with Ran Jun, but Wu's focus will be on the northwest.

He Ran had no objection. The northwest had always been a military powerhouse and the toughest among the toughest.

He Ran is not afraid, but she does not have enough energy and troops to attack the northwest now. It is better to hand the northwest to the Wu family.

Let Wu gnaw this hard bone, as much as he can gnaw.

As for what Wu Dongming was worried about, He Ran also gave him reassurance.

What Wu Dongming is most worried about now is that He Ran is having fun playing, and she is also playing with him!

Wu Dongming knew very well that it would not be long before the Wu family and He Ran could coexist peacefully for common interests. The final result would be that one family would surrender to the other, or one family would destroy the other.

If there is a third outcome, it is that his son becomes successful and marries He Ran. Of course, it is also possible that his own son got married.

So what Wu Dongming can do now is to extend the honeymoon period between the two as long as possible until it can no longer be extended.

The Wu family will grow and prosper in this few honeymoon period.

Wu Ji brought Wu's sincerity - two mines.

These two mines were originally snatched from the Cai family and allocated to the Wu family by He Ran.

Although it was snatched from the Cai family, the owner is the King of Jin.

Both mines are in Fenzhou, and Fenzhou is He Ran's territory. Therefore, although Wu Ji obtained these two mines, they were beyond his reach.

In Wu Dongming's opinion, it was better to give it to He Ran in exchange for a favor.

He Ran happily accepted this generous gift. After all, no amount of mine is too much.

He Ran's return gift was a box of antique calligraphy and paintings, a box of jade and colored glaze.

She snatched these two boxes of things from King Jin's private treasury.

There are many famous families in Chang'an city, and Wu Dongming wants to establish a foothold in the northwest, so these things are just what he needs.

Wu Ji was very happy. Of course, he would have been even happier if He Ran had not returned the gift.

Wu Ji was not in a hurry to leave, he proposed to take a walk around Jinyang City.

In fact, Yulin used to be more prosperous than Jinyang, but after the Wu clan started the army, the situation in Yulin City was far inferior to that of Jinyang.

There are fewer and fewer businessmen coming to Yulin to do business, and the smiles on the faces of the people are also getting fewer and fewer. Walking on the street, you can see shops being transferred everywhere.

But Jinyang is different. It seems to be more prosperous than when King Jin was here.

More importantly, the current security in Jinyang is very good. It is said that it is because He Ran announced a new law and killed many bullies who bullied the market and exploited the villagers, which shocked the entire Jinyang city.

Wu Ji just wanted to walk around and see more in Jinyang City, and he also wanted to manage Yulin like Jinyang.

He Ran didn't have time, so she asked Xiaoli to accompany Wu Ji as a guide.

We can't let Wu Ji wander around the city as he pleases.

Wu Ji was walking on the street and saw a few children in old but clean clothes. He said to Xiaoli: "I don't seem to have seen any refugees in Jinyang."

Since the emperor moved the capital, refugees have appeared everywhere, and there are even refugee armies. Even in border areas like Yulin, refugees can be seen everywhere on the streets.

But Jinyang does not. It stands to reason that a big city like Jinyang cannot be without refugees.

Wu Ji asked Xiaoli a question, and Xiaoli said with a smile: "As soon as the refugees arrived in Jinyang, they were classified and managed. Those who were skilled were craftsmen, and those who were unskilled were doing manual labor, strengthening city walls or digging trenches.

Children and the elderly can always live in the charity hall, with food and accommodation provided, and children can still study.
Of course, the charity house does not support idlers. Once a child reaches the age of twelve, he or she must work to support himself.

The head of the family has built several charity halls for this purpose. "

Wu Ji became interested and suggested that he want to visit the Shantang.
It was just a visit to a charity, not a confidential place. Xiaoli did not object and took Wu Ji to a charity.

The reason why I went to this charity is because Xiaoli is very familiar with the steward here.

Because of the incident between He Shuting and He Shuqiao, Xiaoli has been here several times.

When he arrived at the shantang, Wu Ji heard the sound of reading. He also saw many teenage girls gathering together to do needlework. Everyone was talking and laughing, with relaxed smiles on their faces.
