Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

"Mao'er Village".

Lu Fengnian responded in a low voice.

"Mao'er Village?"

Fang Tong blinked, then smiled. "I remember now. When I was young, I went to Mao'er Village to collect furs."

At this point, he looked Lu Fengnian up and down, "Judging from Brother Lu's age, you were probably not even six years old when I visited your village, right?"

Lu Feng chuckled softly and changed the subject, "Fuyuan Leather Shop is one of the top in our Qinghe County, and Manager Fang must be a prominent figure in our county."

Fang Tong waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Lu, you flatter me too much. I'm just trying to make a living, I'm nothing special."

"Manager Fang is too modest."

Lu Fengnian's smile remained unchanged. "Manager Fang, I have something to ask you."

Fang Tong quickly replied, "Brother Lu, feel free to ask me anything."

Lu Fengnian cleared his throat. "It's like this, I have a neighbor whose son was drafted into the army last month and is currently undergoing training in Qinghe County."

Seeing that I had come to the county today, he asked me to inquire about when his son would be sent to the front lines.

Fang Tong smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you've come to the right person. I happen to have a relative who is a drill instructor in the county, in charge of training new recruits."

We were having dinner together the other day and happened to talk about this.

If I remember correctly, this batch of new recruits will leave Qinghe County and head to the front lines in the middle of next month.

"So fast?"

Lu Fengnian frowned. "I think I heard that every batch of new recruits in the county has to train for at least three months."

"By the middle of next month, it won't even be two months yet, right?"

Fang Tong sighed softly, "Our Daqing has been fighting against Dazhou for three years now, and we have suffered considerable losses and are short of manpower."

If this drags on any longer, the training time for future conscripts will likely become shorter and shorter; they'll practically be dragged out of their homes, dressed in uniform, and sent straight to the front lines.

At this point, he shook his head repeatedly, "These untrained greenhorns, if they go to the battlefield, aren't they just going to their deaths?"

Lu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Manager Fang, have you heard of any way to get someone out of the military camp?"

Fang Tong raised an eyelid. "Brother Lu, you can't joke like that. It's a capital offense. Who would dare to do such a thing?"

Lu Feng chuckled softly, "Manager Fang, please don't take it seriously. It's just casual conversation between friends."

Fang Tong paused slightly, looking directly into Lu Fengnian's eyes. "Brother Lu, since you have such thoughts, it seems your relationship with this person who joined the army is quite special, isn't it?"

Lu Fengnian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "To be honest, he is my younger brother."

Fang Tong responded with an "Oh," and then said, "No wonder."

Lu Fengnian then said, "If Manager Fang knows of such a method, please let me know."

Fang Tong hesitated for a moment, "If this person were your neighbor, I would absolutely not dare to say anything about this."

Since he's Brother Lu's younger brother, that's a different story.

Hearing this, Lu Fengnian was secretly delighted. "So, Manager Fang has connections?"

Fang Tong nodded and said in a low voice, "If Brother Lu had met me earlier, solving the conscription problem would have been incredibly easy. I would have pulled some strings for you. You could have spent a little money to get one or two things done and have your brother's name removed from the conscription list."

But now that your brother is registered and has already undergone more than a month of training, getting him out of the system is complicated and troublesome.

He paused at this point.

Lu Fengnian then asked, "How much silver is needed?"

Fang Tong waved his hand, "It's not about money anymore, it's about smoothing things over with a lot of connections."

If it were before conscription, I could have handled it through this relative of mine.

But now, he no longer has that ability and can only consider other paths.

Lu Fengnian stopped talking and waited for Fang Tong to continue.

Fang Tong paused for a moment, then said, "I have a long-time client who is very well-connected in the county. He should be able to handle this matter."

However, getting him to help is extremely difficult.

Lu Feng asked in a low voice, "How much silver do you need?"

Fang Tong shook his head. "This isn't about money; he doesn't lack money."

Lu Fengnian frowned slightly. "Is there any way to persuade him? Please tell me, Manager Fang?"

Fang Tong smiled slightly, "It's not that I have a solution, but rather that Brother Lu has a solution?"

"I?"

Lu Fengnian looked puzzled.

Fang Tong's smile remained unchanged. "It's like this, my old customer is quite old, but he has rather high requirements in bed."

Over the years, I have been searching for ways to boost Yang energy through nourishment, but with little success.

Now, he is spending a lot of money to acquire tiger penises.

If Brother Lu can hunt a tiger, your brother's problem will naturally be solved.

"Tiger?"

Lu Fengnian muttered to himself that he had seen a tiger in the deep mountains near Blackwater Ridge the day before yesterday.

Fang Tong added, "However, tigers are the most ferocious beasts in the mountains, extremely dangerous, and their tracks are hard to find. Hunting one is not easy."

Moreover, your brother is going to the front lines in the middle of next month; time is too tight.

At this point, he sighed, "If Brother Lu had come to our Fuyuan Leather Shop earlier, we wouldn't be in such a rush."

Lu Fengnian added, "There's still some time until the middle of next month. I'll give it a try and see if I can hunt a tiger."

Fang Tong slightly raised his eyelids. "Brother Lu, do you have any clues about the tiger?"

Lu Fengnian shook his head, "I'm just going to try my luck."

Fang Tong nodded. "Brother Lu, although your archery skills are exceptional, tigers are extremely dangerous. If you really encounter one, please don't be reckless. Safety first."

Lu Fengnian nodded. "Tigers are huge. If I were lucky enough to hunt one, it wouldn't be easy to bring it to the county."

Fang Tong replied, "If Brother Lu can really hunt a tiger, you can first soak the tiger penis in wine and then bring it to the county."

At this point, he added, "Brother Lu, you must not forget tiger skins. Even a damaged tiger skin is worth far more than a fox skin."

Lu Fengnian nodded, "Don't worry, Manager Fang, if we hunt a tiger, I will definitely send the tiger skin and tiger penis over together."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lu Fengnian left Fuyuan Leather Shop.

Choosing clothes is the most time-consuming thing for women.

By the time Lu Fengnian found Liu Yunjuan and Lu Xiaoyu, they had already visited several clothing stores and spent a long time choosing, but still hadn't made up their minds.

Of course, the main reason is that they are reluctant to spend money.

Lu Fengnian saw through their thoughts and said with a smile, "Mother, Xiaoyu, I brought you to the county today to buy you clothes. If you see something you like, just buy it. Don't worry about the money."

Now, our Lu family is rich.
