Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Lu Zhaopeng was naturally surprised to hear Xiang Nan say that he would hand over all three million yuan.

Three million oceans can buy 100,000 guns and tens of millions of bullets, and can form a powerful army.

A large part of the reason for their slow development in recent years is insufficient funds and inability to be effectively armed.

If we have these three million oceans, we can really replace the shotgun with the cannon.

"Hei Wa, are you really willing to give up?" Lu Zhaopeng asked in surprise.

"There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. I have already spent enough money." Xiang Nan smiled, "That money is just the icing on the cake for me. But in your hands, it can play its greatest role."

The three million silver dollars left to Xiang Nan himself will at best make life more luxurious. But if it is left to Lu Zhaopeng, it can have the greatest impact.

"Hei Wa, I thank you on behalf of the organization." Lu Zhaopeng said excitedly after hearing what he said.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand, and then told Lu Zhaopeng the exact location of the silver dollar, "Okay, the responsibility of saving the people will be left to you. Work hard and take care of yourself."

"Don't worry." Lu Zhaopeng nodded.

…

Xiang Nan returned home after bidding farewell to Lu Zhaopeng.

Afterwards, he officially announced that he would retreat into seclusion and pursue immortality. .

From then on, no outsiders were seen.

Before retreating, he left four words to Bai Jiaxuan - "The world is in chaos."

Bai Jiaxuan was dumbfounded after reading this. In the past few years, there have been wars, droughts, locusts, and plagues. Almost half of the people in the surrounding villages and counties died.

He thought that if he survived the catastrophe, he would be blessed later. Who could have imagined that after the catastrophe, not only would it be smooth sailing, but "the world would be in chaos".

Seeing these four words, Bai Jiaxuan felt his head tighten, as if he was being held by an iron hoop.

He was so scared that he didn't dare to tell anyone else, but kept it to himself.

Because he was afraid that if he spoke out, the villagers would be frightened to death.

In the following time, Bai Jiaxuan worked harder and harder to take care of the housework and uphold the family laws.

He hopes to use traditional norms, traditional morals, and traditional etiquette to work hard to maintain the pure land of Bailuyuan.

…

The reason why Xiang Nan wants to retreat is because he knows that the world will be in chaos in the future, and there is no point in pretending to be a ghost.

By then, he would be unable to solve so many troubles by himself.

And if it cannot be solved, it will inevitably destroy the sign.

Therefore, Xiang Nan simply stayed in seclusion and did not care about worldly affairs. Anyway, with his current money, it will be enough for more than ten years.

After retreating, his daily homework was reading, practicing calligraphy, watering, and growing vegetables.

His ancestral temple covers an area of ​​several acres. In addition to the temple, there is also a large open space, which is perfect for growing fruits and vegetables.

One is to improve the food, and the other is to relax and enjoy yourself.

People who sit around and do nothing are easily ruined. Planting vegetables, watering and picking up seedlings is also a pastime.

Under his careful cultivation, there are apples, pears, persimmons and grapes. Pomegranates, walnuts, watermelons, and melons all grow so well that you can’t even finish them all.

…

Although he cultivated a lot of land in the temple, he did not need to pay taxes like the people in the village.

Because Tian Fuxian didn't dare to collect taxes from him, Lu Zilin didn't even dare.

After all, when the bandits came to the village to rob, if Xiang Nan had not caught the bandits in time, his wife and his family's money would have been lost.

Although Lu Zilin is not a person who values ​​love and justice, he is not as heartless as Bai Xiaowen, and he still has some conscience. Therefore, he stopped collecting Xiang Nan's taxes.

Moreover, even if he wanted to, he couldn't.

He once tried to walk into the forest outside the ancestor's temple, but he almost got confused.

Fortunately, he didn't take a few steps and quickly retreated. Even so, he struggled for a long time.

How could he dare to trespass after he learned a lesson?

And since he couldn't even see Xiang Nan, there was no need to mention tax collection.

…

But to others, Lu Zilin is not so easy to talk to.

Over the years he has been serving as a township commissioner, he has often forced food and taxes.

He colluded with Tian Fuxian and other townships to impose an additional 20% on the already heavy taxes, making the burden on the villagers increasingly heavy.

In order to save money, it is inevitable that some people will use their brains, such as offering bribes, asking for favors, identifying as a godfather, and so on.

Lu Zilin is a very greedy person, greedy for money and lust, and forgets justice when he sees profit.

In the book, he was once arrested by Bai Xiaowen and imprisoned for more than three years. After he was released, he still couldn't change his behavior. Within two days, he went to Tian Fuxian to ask for an official position.

According to Mr. Leng, “His addiction to officialdom is harder to quit than his addiction to cigarettes.”

Such people are naturally easily bribed.

As a result, he committed a series of scandals, scattering seeds everywhere in Bailuyuan. More than ten years later, he recognized more than a dozen godsons and could fill several tables.

Xiang Nan knew all about his scandals, but he didn't care about them.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, and one was willing to be beaten while the other was willing to suffer.

Although Lu Zilin did a lot of scandalous things, none of them were forced, which was essentially different from playing a gangster.

Therefore, Xiang Nan is not easy to deal with this kind of thing.

Anyway, everyone has his own sins, and everyone has his own cause and effect.

Lu Zilin is feeling happy now, but it also breaks Lu He's heart.

More than ten years later, when Lu Zilin was frightened and went crazy, Mr. Lu He kicked him out of the house and asked him to sleep with pigs and dogs.

But none of his old friends and godsons were willing to see him, leaving him to fend for himself.

In the end, Lu Zilin froze to death on a winter night. He howled for half the night before he died. Little did he know that it was not his retribution.

…

Although Lu Zilin and Tian Fuxian were messing around in Yuan Shang, there were still people on Yuan Shang doing things.

Mr. Zhu invited a group of great scholars to compile the county annals at Bailu Academy the year before last.

This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and is strongly supported by Magistrate Hao of Zishui County.

Special funds were allocated for the compilation of county chronicles and the salaries of great scholars.

But to be honest, the money is not much.

After all, the current national situation is difficult, the finances are tight, and there is not much money available.

Mr. Zhu and other great scholars still focus on personal awareness and want to leave a history for future generations, so they are willing to continue doing this work even if they don't have much money.

Xiang Nan was very moved when he found out. In previous years of great disaster, we even made a special trip to deliver food to them.

Although the famine was over and there was no need to send food anymore, Xiang Nan still asked Lu San to send a few kilo of food to Bailu Academy every month so that the gentlemen could eat well and study.

In fact, the first thing he wanted to do was to pay the wages of the old gentlemen and not let them generate electricity for love.

But Mr. Zhu returned the money. What he means is that the food can be harvested, but the money is forgotten.

Xiang Nan understood what he meant, so he didn't force it.
