Chapter 204 Kou turns into a merchant

Father Lu happily told Mother Lu about his day's events. Mother Lu knew him so well that he was so happy.

Father Lu wanted to continue, but when he saw five dishes placed on the table, his appetite was whetted.

"Xi'er, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Let's eat. I'll tell you after we finish the meal."

"Okay." Mother Lu rarely objects to Father Lu's decision, not to mention she hasn't seen him so happy for a long time.

Her greatest happiness is to be happy with him. As long as he is happy, she is happy.

Although she is a high-ranking princess, when she is with Father Lu, she is just an ordinary little sister next door.

She will pick and choose what he likes to hear, although telling the truth is a virtue.

But if the truth hurts too much, then she will tell some white lies, which is a sign of her love for him.

The family was happily eating delicious meals. It was snowing outside, but they were not cold at all.

After the meal, the family gathered around the brazier to warm themselves up. Father Lu excitedly talked about the city wall.

Although Mother Lu doesn't understand, she likes to hear what Father Lu says.

The two younger ones really liked hearing it, "Grandpa, I will be a general when I grow up, and I have decided not to let the Turks cross the city wall."

"Haha... Xiao Yufan is really my good grandson. He is very ambitious. Will you go to build the city wall with your grandfather tomorrow?"

"Hey, my mother said I'm still young and will be a disservice. I'd better go feed the ducks tomorrow. I want my uncle to sell a lot of salted duck."

"Yes, Xiao Yufan, we will feed the ducks tomorrow. When I grow up a little, I will go to the north to raise ducks and make salted duck."

"Hey, brother Yi, you can have this idea. From now on, the northern market will be left to you."

Lin Fuyue is still very interested in making money, and is also interested in people who have the idea of ​​​​making money.

"Sister-in-law, people from Beidi in the north often come to harass our border people and steal their food."

"Uncle, there used to be a lot of Turks coming to grab food in Shuangjiang Town. In the end, my father beat them all away."

"The Turks will come again in the future." Lu Shaoyi said with certainty.

Lu Yufan:......

He really didn't know if the Turks would come again, but they hadn't come this time for a long time.

"Don't be afraid even if you come. Now our Shuangjiang Town is an idyllic and pastoral Kingdom of Heaven. Everyone has faith, has food to eat and clothes to wear, and everyone is united."

"Sister-in-law, what is the Kingdom of Heaven?" Lu Shaoyi asked curiously with his eyes wide open.

"It's the best place, the place that everyone envies." Lu Shaoqian said calmly.

He saw that his wife was still thinking hard, and he could now guess the meaning of many new words she said.

Lin Fuyue glanced at him gratefully, and the admiration in her eyes made him very sweet.

So he said to his father, mother, younger brother and Xiao Yufan: "The previous county magistrate squeezed the people of Shuangjiang County. It can be said that they knocked the bones and sucked out the marrow."

"Brother, won't they resist?" Lu Shaoyi is simply a curious baby.

Father Lu and Mother Lu looked at the children talking with smiles, and they were very happy inside.

"People's will to resist is not innate. The farmers are imprisoned in Shuangjiang County. They are not literate, have no contact with the outside world, and do not have a complete personality. They do not know what resistance is."

Lin Fuyue patiently answered Lu Shaoyi's question, while Lu Yufan also looked at his parents eagerly.

"People like Dad and Mom are good and bad. Although they will not resist you in the future, they will not resist the Turks when they come."

"Hoho, Xiao Yufan really has a lot on his mind. You should study well, read and practice martial arts at a young age, and don't worry about anything else."

Lin Fuyue smiled, she felt that Xiao Yufan was really too worried.

Father Lu taught his grandson solemnly, "Starting from tomorrow, grandpa will teach you two to practice martial arts, and grandma will teach you to read."

"We will slowly open up trade between Turks and Shuangjiang Town in the future and allow free trade between the people on the border between the two countries."

"Yes, in this case, with formal channels for doing business, who would risk beheading to engage in smuggling?"

Lu Shaoqian and his wife had a tacit understanding of everything they said to each other, and what they said was clear and logical, which surprised both Father Lu and Mother Lu who were well-informed.

Lu Shaoyi and Lu Yufan admired and praised, "My brother and sister-in-law are so amazing."

"My parents are so awesome."

"As the saying goes, if the city is open, the pirates will turn into merchants, and if the city is closed, the merchants will turn into bandits. If the border is open to trade, there will be no robbing.

We want to open several trade ports on the border. If we can exchange cattle and sheep for a lot of scarce food and materials, who would be willing to risk their lives with us?"

"Yue'er, my father has heard a few years ago that your eldest brother is very talented and knowledgeable. It turns out that you Lin family members are all so powerful."

When Father Lu heard Lin Fuyue's remarks, he was filled with admiration, but he was an elder so he didn't show it.

"Yue'er, your father admires you so much. If it weren't for seniority, he would have wanted to bow to you, haha..."

Lu's mother teased Lu's father, and also clearly told her daughter-in-law that they admired her very much.

"Hahaha... Dad wants to have sex with my sister-in-law? Then how should I call you in the future?"

"Hehe... My grandfather is my mother's brother, so from now on I will call my grandfather my uncle."

"Xi'er, look what nonsense you are talking about, and you are bringing the children down."

Father Lu deliberately kept a straight face and tried his best to appear dignified, but the smile on his brow and the corners of his eyes made the children not afraid of him at all.

Mother Lu stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly to Father Lu in a flattering manner.

"Old man, please don't be angry! I'm not joking."

Father Lu snorted and pretended not to hear her words, but his eyes were full of doting and indulgence.

When Mother Lu saw this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, and even winked at a few juniors.

Father Lu snorted again and his face became more serious. Mother Lu quickly sat upright and looked at him seriously.

Lin Fuyue and Lu Shaoqian were stunned for a moment, but it turns out that this is how they usually get along.

After a while, Father Lu slowly said what he was thinking: "Yue'er, are you saying that you want to start trading with Turks in Shuangjiang Town?"

Lin Fuyue nodded seriously: "Father, mother, we have this plan, and we will start testing it next year at the latest."

Father Lu frowned: "But will the emperor agree?"

Lin Fuyue shook her head and said nothing. Lu Shaoqian looked very sure: "Son, I believe the emperor will definitely agree."

Father Lu couldn't help but become confused and looked at his son and daughter-in-law with questioning eyes.

"Nowadays, the situation on the border is getting more and more chaotic. Although the court has stabilized the situation on the surface, it will not be able to do what it wants, not to mention that we are trading various foods made from the crops we grow ourselves."
