Chapter 3115 Chapter 3117 [Ghost Agent]


    Lu Zhaopeng was naturally surprised when Xiang Nan said 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.


    The reason why they have developed slowly in recent years is largely due to insufficient funds and the 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 said with a smile, "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 most make his life more luxurious. But if it is left to Lu Zhaopeng, it can have the greatest impact.


    “Hei Wa, I would like to thank you on behalf of the organization.” Lu Zhaopeng said excitedly when he heard 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.


    After turning around, he officially announced that he would retreat into seclusion and pursue the path of immortality. .


    From now on, no foreigners will be seen.


    Before going into seclusion, 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 up by an iron hoop.


    He was so frightened 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 wanted to retreat was because he knew that the world would be in chaos in the future, and it would be useless to pretend to be a ghost.


    At that time, he will not be able to solve so many troubles by himself.


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


    Hence Xiang Nan simply retreated into 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 to read, practice calligraphy, water, and plant vegetables.


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


    The first is to improve the food, and the second is to enjoy leisurely life.


    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, they look like 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, and Lu Zilin didn''t even dare.


    After all, when the bandits came to the village to rob, had Xiang Nan 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 attaches great importance to love and justice, he is not as ruthless and righteous 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 Laozu Temple, but he almost got confused.


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


    Eat a long time, he dares to break through.


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


    …


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


    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With his tenure as the township commissioner over the years, he’s always had to pay for food and taxes.


    ? He, Tian Fuxian, and other villagers colluded 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 paying bribes, seeking favors, identifying a godfather, etc.


    ?Lu Zilin is a very greedy person, greedy for money and lust, and forgets his righteousness 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’s words, “His addiction to officialdom is harder to quit than his addiction to cigarettes.”


    Such people are naturally easy to bribe.


    ??He also committed a series of scandalous things, 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 everyone was willing to be beaten and the other was willing to suffer.


    ?Although Lu Zilin has done a lot of scandalous things, none of them were forced, which is essentially different from being a gangster.


    ?Hence, Xiang Nan can''t handle this kind of thing.


    In any case, each individual has his or her own sins, and each individual has his or her own karma.


    Lu Zilin feels 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 are messing around in Yuan Shang, there are still people in Yuan Shang who are 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 Confucians.


    ?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 more food, 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 so that they could study.


    In fact, the first thing he wanted to do was to give money to 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.
