Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1044 Chapter 1042 War Restarts
The success rate of elite education in Europe and the United States is quite high.

If the children themselves realize the importance of knowledge and study hard.

Some children of nobles and wealthy people are indeed very capable.

It’s just that European and American parents are not as generous as Chu Xiangqian when it comes to financial matters to their children.

Jingxing only turned 18 after the Chinese New Year, but he already had assets and stocks worth hundreds of millions of dollars in his name.

This is completely unimaginable in the Yinggua aristocratic circle.

So although the girl has no shortage of pocket money, the stronger her abilities are, the bigger her ambitions become.

At the same time, I always have a blind confidence in myself and feel that I can also make a career.

But the result is that among the vast majority of entrepreneurs, the more elite they are, the less suitable they are to be bosses, but rather managers.

Several failed business ventures did hit the girl's self-confidence and pride.

In Chu Xiangqian's eyes, although this is a pity, it is also a good thing.

The more failures you have, the closer you are to success.

Chu Xiangqian is not short of money, nor is he short of opportunities and projects to make money. The more experience his daughter-in-law has in business, the easier it will be for her to manage the family business in the future.

Unfortunately, after the girl failed, she became impatient for success.

I want to take a shortcut.

Although Europe and the United States also ban hemp, their attitude towards this issue is completely different from that of China.

Some even feel that this is just a business, and a business that will not be a serious crime if one is caught.

The money comes quickly, and once you make the money, it's easy to get away with it.

After someone took the initiative to find her, the girl hesitated for only one night before visiting an underground plantation.

Then he took a gamble, using several properties and farms inherited from his grandfather, borrowed 500 million pounds and invested in two new plantations.

Chu Xiangqian found out about the underground plantation by staring at the girl's sparrow.

If it weren't for her father Cavendish's sake, someone would have reported her and made her go bankrupt.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian actually didn't mind if Yinggua people smoked more hemp.

Otherwise, fourteen years ago, after returning from Middle-earth with Jingxing.

He discovered that someone was growing hemp on other farms near Margaret's estate, but he pretended not to know.

It was because he wanted to see if Ying Gua Lao would feel like he was slapping himself in the face when he was trapped in the dilemma of flour and hemp in the future, which would not only be painful but also embarrassing.

Margaret cursed after hearing this, saying that her man hated tobacco growers and flour merchants the most.

Because of this problem, Norton was forcibly taken away by him for three months.

I heard that she was thrown onto an island by her own man, and she and Ailin survived on the deserted island and underwent devilish training for three months.

From then on, Norton dared not touch hemp again.

The parents of Mountbatten and Norton have always been grateful to Chu Xiangqian for this matter.

Now the youngest daughter of the Cavendish family actually touches hemp and even grows it.

This is equivalent to breaking Chu Xiangqian's bottom line.

Moreover, there are actually quite a lot of conservatives among Europeans and Americans of this era.

The royal family is conservative among conservatives.

In many things, Yingguai is so stubborn that even he himself cannot understand.

Margaret also knew that the Magnesium Women were actually waging a war against the flour merchants.

As soon as Reagan came to power, he announced various plans to crack down on South American flour traders, and many of them had already begun to be planned and implemented.

Some time ago, Maria announced in Los Angeles that she would intensify her crackdown on flour.

Several fundraising events were also held, raising a total of $810 million, which was donated to more than a dozen police stations in Los Angeles to purchase more powerful and more fortified police weapons.

and the purchase of two helicopters to enhance air support and tracking capabilities.

In addition to Chu Xiangqian's donation of 50, Margaret also donated a total of 15 US dollars three times to show her support.

However, Margaret actually didn't fly out to understand the situation yet.

He did hate the flour merchants, but he wished people like Pablo would ship more flour from South America to Mexico.

To this end, he has sold weapons to these South American flour merchants many times over the years.

But Margaret didn't know about this, so when she heard Chu Xiangqian say that Elena was involved in the tobacco business, she felt sorry.

Looking at Chu Xiangqian's eyes, he couldn't help but become gentle.

Chu Xiangqian was a little confused.

But in Margaret's heart, if she hadn't met and fallen in love with Chu Xiangqian, she wouldn't have had endless money and the lovely and smart Jingxing.

Perhaps in order to pay the monthly bills, she will be like other members of the royal family, looking glamorous on the outside but having to cut back on spending on the inside.

Although Chu Xiangqian didn't know why Margaret suddenly looked at him with affectionate eyes.

But as long as this woman didn't mention Jing Xing's emotional problems to him, Chu Xiangqian would naturally not interfere.

As for this kid Jing Xing, he was currently hooking up with Qiao Simei.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and decided to let Jingrong remind his future sister-in-law.

In order to avoid being hurt by Jing Xing, which would affect the relationship between Jing Rong and Qiao Sanli in the future.

But on second thought, it would be better to give Jing Xing a good deal than to let Qiao Simei be cheated by a scumbag.

But Chu Xiangqian still has a bottom line. How can he act like an elder by doing this?

It is bad enough that he does not care about his future eldest daughter-in-law's own sister, but he also allows his second son to harm others. This is really unacceptable.

They waved to Jingshun and Jingfu who were skating past them, and the two brothers quickly skated over.

After greeting Margaret, the two brothers looked at their father.

Chu Xiangqian smiled, pointed at Jingxing and Qiao Simei and said, "That girl is the younger sister of your eldest brother's future wife.

You two go tell your second brother to date that person seriously.

Or just be honest with me.

Otherwise, not only your eldest brother might beat him up in the future, but I, as his father, will also be unable to resist beating him up."

After hearing this, Invesco and Jingfu burst into laughter.

But when he saw Margaret's face turn dark, he nodded quickly and ran away.

Margaret was not really angry with Chu Xiangqian. After all, Chu Xiangqian had never hit his children.

There was basically no scolding.

On the contrary, Margaret herself would sometimes curse at people when she got angry.

But Margaret also knew that once Chu Xiangqian got really angry, although he would not beat or scold the child, he would have many ways to punish the child.

Besides, she herself didn't like Qiao Simei. She always felt that although this girl looked good, she didn't look like someone who would settle down.

Of course, if it were just a love affair, Margaret and Chu Xiangqian would have the same opinion.

Even in Margaret's heart, it was her son who suffered the loss.

In this respect, all mothers are the same.

Her son is handsome, smart and capable. Breaking up with him is a sign of the girl's poor taste.

Not long after, Jingshun and Jingfu were seen flanking Jingxing on the left and right.

Then he whispered a few words in his ear, and Jing Xing immediately became timid.

He can listen to or not listen to his mother.

But if you don't listen to your dad, you'll be in trouble.

Jing Xing could only find an excuse and stopped flirting with Qiao Simei.

At around 4pm, when it was getting dark, Chu Xiangqian called all his children and wives upstairs. Looking at his children with rosy faces, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt as if he had really said goodbye to his youth.

I still feel a little nostalgic and a little helpless.

Fortunately, there are more children. Although they are annoying, they are chattering around me, talking and laughing all the time.

Chu Xiangqian's mood suddenly improved.

Before we knew it, the Little New Year had passed and it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

This year, except for Ailin, everyone in the family gathered in the courtyard.

Chu Xiangqian went out of the courtyard early in the morning, using the excuse of morning exercise, and found a deserted place.

Entered Middle-earth.

Luna and Jingchen have entered the real world more and more frequently in recent years.

However, Chu Xiangqian did not bring the mother and son with him to the Celestial Empire.

Instead, I take them to cities like Singapore, Rome and Paris for a few days every year.

However, it is already February 82, and more and more foreigners are coming to China.

From now on, it won’t be a big problem to bring Luna and Jingchen to the big cities in China.

Since the whole family was gathered together this time, Chu Xiangqian suddenly had an idea and asked Luna and Jingchen to join the family gathering as well.

However, when he appeared in Stromgarde, he immediately discovered that everyone in the castle was wearing armor.

The patrolling elves and dwarves saluted immediately when they saw Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian soon realized that the Stone Pass was once again facing the threat of orcs and orcs.

In recent years, although the orcs have caused trouble every three to five years, the scale of their attacks on Stonehenge has not been large.

The dwarves at Stonehenge rarely seek support from outside.

However, the dwarf at Stone Pass was also the most ordinary dwarf who traded with Chu Xiangqian.

In addition to wine, weapons and ammunition, they also want food and meat.

Each time, the orcs and orcs left behind thousands or tens of thousands of orc corpses and fled back to the icy and snowy continent in the north.

Chu Xiangqian had guessed long ago that the orcs were deliberately sending the orcs to their deaths in order to deplete the dwarf population.

By the way, it is a strategy to paralyze the elves and dwarves.

But let alone the dwarves and elves, even Chu Xiangqian himself was unwilling to lead his troops north.

In the ice world, fight the orcs in their own territory.

That is not the Northern Expedition, but seeking death.

Sixteen or seventeen years passed, according to the intelligence the dwarves at Stonehenge had discovered.

During this orc expedition, the wolf cavalry finally appeared again.

And there are as many as four thousand of them.

Finally, the combat effectiveness was restored to that during the Battle of Giant Stone Pass.

In addition to the wolf cavalry, the orcs also mobilized an army of 70,000 to 80,000 orcs and a large number of siege equipment.

As a result, the dwarves at Stonehenge had to put aside their pride and ask other dwarves and elves for help.

Fortunately, the population of dwarves and elves has grown significantly over the years.

Especially dwarves.

Because they buy enough wine from Chu Xiangqian every year, the dwarves are much richer in terms of the grain they produce themselves.

The population growth rate in the past ten or twenty years is the highest in the past few hundred years.

In addition, firearms have long been produced domestically, and even bullets have dwarf-style improved bullets.

Although the production efficiency and quantity are far inferior to those of modern machinery.

But it did allow the dwarves to become self-sufficient in guns and bullets.

Every time the orcs were outside the Stone Pass, they would suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, the dwarves' deaths in battle and accidental death rates are also lower.

Even Stromgarde could easily dispatch a 500-man dwarf force to provide support to Stonehenge.

Including the Mountain, Ironfist, Redbeard, and Valley dwarves, the first batch of dwarves to support totaled 2500 people.

When defending the city, the dwarves' combat effectiveness increased dramatically because of their firearms.

The two elven territories also sent at least 1 elves over there.

If necessary, Stromgarde can recruit another 1 dwarves and elves and reach Stonehenge within a day.

If a mobilization order is issued, five thousand people will be no problem.

When Chu Xiangqian returned to Stromgarde at this time, he immediately became everyone's backbone.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't bring himself to invite Luna and Jingchen to celebrate the New Year together.

I could only meet with Luna and Jingchen and learn a lot of information.

Bringing Jingchen who insisted on following, Iris, the centurion of the lord guards, and the twelve elite lord guards.

Mount the griffin and fly to Stone Pass to check out the situation yourself.

Everyone flew together, and Jingchen was so excited that he rode the griffin to the front of the team.

In Stromgarde, the story has always been told about how Chu Xiangqian led the dwarves and elves to annihilate the wolf cavalry.

During the Battle of Stonehenge, he led the charge and hunted down the orcs.

In that battle, orcs and half-orcs were killed and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

For many years, the land outside Jushiguan Pass was dark brown.

Jingchen, who grew up listening to these stories, naturally wanted to be a hero like his father, respected and praised by the three tribes in Middle-earth.

And this kid is already level 30.

加上年龄的增加，体质10+4，力量10+3，敏捷10+5.
The three-dimensional attributes surpass any elves.

With his biological father Chu Xiangqian training with him all year round, his strength has long been invincible among elves and dwarves.

Naturally, I am very arrogant.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian has been suppressing him, otherwise it would not be arrogance, but arrogance and conceit.

楚向前的等级，也从78年6月时的51级，32万/2500万。

Upgraded to 159 million/2800 million.

Three attribute points were added directly to agility.

Constitution: 4.8.
force 14.7
Agile 16.5
His agility and strength are slightly better than Jingchen's, which is why he can always beat this guy and never win.

It can be considered that I have saved my face as a father.

After arriving at the Stone Pass, the stone dwarves on the huge city wall, upon seeing that it was Chu Xiangqian who was invited, hurriedly blew the unique horn to welcome the lord.

A long horn sounded, which spread throughout the Jushi Pass.

Even in the orc camp five or six miles away, orc lords and commanders walked out of their tents and looked up at the sky above the Stone Pass from afar.

I confirmed that it was the flag of Stromgarde, and then I heard the sound of horns welcoming the lord.

With a little guess, one can guess that it was Chu Xiangqian who came to Jushiguan in person.

This immediately made the orcs frown.

As a human hero who changed the situation of the war with his own strength.

Chu Xiangqian's reputation is not only known among the three races of humans, dwarves and elves, but the orcs have also known a lot about Chu Xiangqian over the years.

It would be strange if the orcs didn't worry when they saw Chu Xiangqian, who hadn't been seen for many years, suddenly appear at Boulder Pass.
