Chapter 652 Ready to Go

It was night, Cai Guang came to the back door of Cai Mansion, and there was already an inconspicuous carriage parked at the back door.

The carriage driver saw him and gestured to him. Cai Guang came over. The driver opened the carriage curtain and he boarded the carriage.

In the carriage, He Shizhong sat aside.

As soon as Cai Guang sat firmly, the carriage slowly moved forward.

"Old He, I'm sorry to bother you."

"There is no need to say these polite words between you and me." He Shizhong looked at his old friend who had not seen each other for a while and had turned gray at the temples, knowing the suffering he had suffered during this period.

Thinking about what happened next, He Shizhong couldn't help but sigh. If the Cai family made a wrong move, the price they would pay later would be too high.

He Shizhong personally took him to meet Ji Wuyin, Wu Ren and others.

Upon meeting, Cai Guang immediately stated that he wanted to bring his family to Pingzhou and was willing to donate all his family property in Zhuozhou to Pingzhou.

After Cai Guang expressed his loyalty, Ji Wuyin and others laughed, "You don't have to do this. However, your family's property is indeed useful to us now. In this way, we, Pingzhou, will buy your Cai family's property in Zhuozhou with you. But for this price , can I give it at the current market price?”

"Ji Daxiu, just watch and give it." Cai Guang said quickly.

"Please report the Cai family's property."

Cai Guang reported the Cai family's properties one by one.

Beside, Wu Ren was registering.

Gu Huaisheng, on the other hand, was making calculations on the abacus, and he was very good at abacus calculation.

Almost as soon as Cai Guang finished speaking, Wu Ren and Gu Huaisheng had already calculated the total value of the Cai family's property.

Wu Ren does mental arithmetic, and Gu Huaisheng does abacus arithmetic.

Young Master Ji looked over and saw that the two calculation results were the same. He gave them a thumbs up.

Gu Huaisheng looked at Wu Ren. His abacus arithmetic was nothing, but Wu Ren's mental arithmetic was amazing. I heard that the governor taught him this mental arithmetic.

Wu Ren nodded slightly towards him.

At this time, Ji Wuyin spoke. He and Cai Guang confirmed the Cai family's property. Their voices attracted everyone's attention.

According to Cai Guang's narrative, donkeys now account for the majority of the Cai family's property. After allocating 80,000 donkeys to Zhao Song, the Cai family still had 220,000 donkeys. There were old and young donkeys, and there were about 150,000 young donkeys.

When they heard that Cai Guang had just distributed 80,000 young donkeys to Zhao Song, Master Ji and other young people felt regretful. If Cai Guang had come to them earlier, there would be no need to share the 80,000 donkeys with Zhao Song, and he would be given money directly. Anyway, they have plenty of money in Pingzhou.

Ji Wuyin waved his hand, "This may not be a bad thing." Otherwise, in such a harsh environment in Zhuozhou, wouldn't it be suspicious if Cai Guang directly offered Zhao Song 500,000 taels to withdraw his shares?

Ji Wuyin reported the current total value of the Cai family's property and asked Cai Guang, "The total value of all the Cai family's properties is equivalent to 1.2 million taels. Do you have any objection to this number?"

Cai Guang shook his head quickly, "I don't have any objections." He knew that the price was fair.

"Okay, then the total value of your Cai family's property will be calculated as 1.2 million taels."

Cai Guang said that he only needed half and the other half would be donated to Pingzhou. After saying this, he sighed deeply in his heart. The amount of property he inherited from his father was probably this amount. One wrong move before was equivalent to half a lifetime of hard work, and the money earned was almost wiped out in this battle.

"Brother Cai, I know you donated half of your family property because you wanted to show your loyalty to the governor, but our Pingzhou has a solid foundation and we don't lack your money. So, you can take this money if it is given to you."

"This-" The money was not sent out smoothly, Cai Guang hesitated.

"Don't be too busy refusing, there is something that needs you right now."

"Please tell me, Ji Daxiu, Cai will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"It's not busy. We'll wait until you settle down with your family. And the 1.2 million taels of silver will probably not be given to you until your family settles down."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." After saying that, Cai Guang sighed in his heart, how rich is Pingzhou's family before he dares to say such a thing.

At the same time, he was also surprised by the custom of Pingzhou. If he went to the officials in Dali and asked to donate his family property, they would be eager to do so. The more, the merrier.

After Cai Guang and He Shizhong left, He Shizhong patted his old friend on the shoulder to express comfort.

Cai Guang smiled and said, "This situation is already very good."

This is Cai Guang's true words. The Cai family was involved in the struggle between Pingzhou and Dali. Now that they can save their lives and save part of their family business, they are considered lucky among the lucky.

The departing Cai Guang and He Shizhong didn't know that Ji Wuyin was also lamenting the Cai family's good luck. The Cai family's move to Pingzhou was timely, but if it had been later, even if Cai Guang had the heart, he wouldn't have a chance.

Pingzhou, Changli

Lu Songli is more than five months pregnant and is already pregnant.

After Qin Sheng became a father, he consciously shared some things for Lu Songli. People have also become more stable before their eyes. Sometimes when Lu Songli looks at it, she feels like a child in our family has just grown up.

Back then, the handsome young man in bright clothes and angry horses had gone through many hardships, but he still did not change his original intention. Now her childishness has faded, like a tall poplar tree, trying hard to stretch out its branches, trying to hold up the sky for her and the child in her belly.

"The time is almost over in Zhuozhou." Lu Songli said to Qin Sheng with a smile.

Qin Sheng hummed and helped her sit aside.

"Don't worry, Lili. You have been planning Zhuozhou for so long, and my husband will definitely win Zhuozhou for you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to plant the Pingzhou flag on the city gate of Zhuozhou."

For more than half a year, the military training has not stopped.

It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only one day to use it. It's time for them to show their swords.

Lu Mansion

Jiang was also talking about Lu Desheng, "My daughter is pregnant, and you don't know how to help her share the burden."

"Is it me who doesn't want to?" Lu Desheng muttered. Pingzhou is not the same as it was before. There are all kinds of official duties, and only his daughter can handle them with ease.

Seeing that he dared to talk back, Jiang threw the small clothes in her hands on the bed and put her hands on her waist, "In short, you are not allowed to go anywhere during this period! If you dare to run, your legs will be broken!"

Lu Desheng surrendered, "I know, I promise you, I won't go anywhere before my daughter gives birth, okay?"

Alas, in the eyes of his wife, is he a person who can't distinguish between the important and the urgent? Melancholy.

Jiang was satisfied.

In fact, Lu Desheng also attached great importance to his daughter's pregnancy. After all, the one in his daughter's belly is likely to be the heir of Pingzhou.

Now, whether it is the Qin family or the Lu family, or the think tanks and officials in Pingzhou, they are all looking forward to the smooth birth of this person.

His grandfather is the same, otherwise he would not rush back to Pingzhou as soon as he finished his work and fall into the trap so early.
