Chapter 081

Mu Lin agreed very much: "This man doesn't care as long as there is a war, but he has never fought so desperately like this time."

"No matter what," Lu Qi said, "Winning a battle is a good thing. Sir, please publish this news in the hot spot tomorrow."

Lu Jiu'an tightened his grip on the document in his hand and said, "Publish it for three days! Let the people take a good look at the achievements of this group of frontier warriors, and let them know that we are at peace now. It was obtained with the blood of others. "

"In addition, I will give you a copy of the county's teaching instructions. These provincial scholars will become officials in the future. When they go to the court, they will just talk to the generals instead of doing business. "

"Oh." Mu Lin glanced at Lu Jiu'an and said, "You protected him so early." Lu Jiu'an responded calmly: "What if it's not the case? It's rare to have such a famous general in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I don't want him

to be sacrificed."

After Jiu An finished speaking, he opened his legs and walked away, followed closely by Mu Lin.

"You know what I say." As Han Zhi's best friend for many years, Mu Lin was determined to help him again and give Lu Jiuan a strong medicine: "Han Zhi is devoted to you. You know in your heart that my friend is still alive today. He is twenty-seven years old, and he hangs out with a bunch of big men all day long. He goes in and out of the camp, and the thing he touches the most is probably his moon-washing spear..."

Lu Jiu'an interrupted him: "Is General Han only 27 years old?"

At the age of 27, he has achieved glory and fame, and sits in the position of general. How many enemy heads must he take?

While Lu Jiu'an admired him, he also felt a hint of heartache.

He recalled Han Zhi's words of comfort to him at the beginning of the epidemic, saying that he went into battle to kill the enemy when he was only fifteen years old, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Mu Lin was shocked. Lu Jiuan didn't even know Han Zhi's age. Could it be that Han Zhi was really worried about shaving his head? He couldn't help but feel a little hesitant about the next words.

He looked at Lu Jiu'an's expression, and without any impatience, he said hesitantly: "Han Zhi is more than twenty-seven years old, but this is the first time in so long that I have seen him secretly in love. I never knew that this elm Mu Gezao's emotions will be so strong. You didn't notice the way he looks at you all day long. If I were a woman, I would be caught in such affectionate eyes. "

Lu Jiu'an . He held his forehead and thought inappropriately: Mu Lin wanted to match up a pair of men. If the elder Han Zhi knew about it, he didn't know whether the relationship between the two of them would be severed.

In fact, Lu Jiu'an also thought a lot about this sudden love affair. One moment it was Han Zhi's unknown contribution to him, and the next moment he couldn't cross the threshold of being a straight man in his heart. In the end, he simply gave up and thought that Han Zhi was out there anyway. Defending the enemy, I don't know when we will meet again, so we can't have a long-distance relationship.

Long-distance relationships don't last long, and in the end they always end up falling apart, with so many entanglements about what to do.

With this thought, Lu Jiu'an seemed to have convinced himself, and he could continue to work on his career with peace of mind.

Mu Lin was unyielding: "Lu Jiu'an, please tell me secretly that we have been together for so long, just to satisfy my curiosity."

Lu Jiu'an looked around and asked him: "Will his elders agree?"

Mu Lin Lin said categorically: "The Duel Club will agree!"

Lu Jiu'an didn't know why Mu Lin was so sure, but he wouldn't believe it.

Han Zhi has a bright future. There must be countless people in Jinnan City staring at him as a golden bachelor and a diamond king. Han Zhi's clan members must also find a good match for him with a well-matched family, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

The power of the big family is intertwined. They rely on nepotism and nepotism to win alliances. The marriage of the children of the family is no longer their own decision. If Han Zhi wants to get together with a man, he must go through many difficulties.

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Mu Lin put away the folding fan and said, "I'm done today. I just want to remind you that based on my understanding of Han Zhi, if he keeps an eye on a piece of meat, he will never let go."

Lu Jiu An smiled and said: "I won't bother you. If I don't want to, how can it be that with Brother Han's temperament, I can imitate that dandy bully and take it by force? Mu Lin, the young man from Wuling has gold in the east of the city, a silver saddle and a white horse. I want to say that when I was young, I had so many things to enjoy, so why should I pursue love and love?

Mu Lin glanced at Lu Jiu'an's beautiful face and sneered in his heart: I wonder if he will be as arrogant as he is today when he is eaten by a hungry wolf.

Lu Jiu'an first went to the gym to take a look, wondering if he could pick up some leaks like cement. He turned around and found nothing.

Then Lu Jiu'an summoned a group of subordinates in charge of water conservancy and government servants to inspect the water conditions in the fields.

After dealing with floods last year, everyone is familiar with the matter and knows where to check and when the water level reaches what height to be alert. Lu Jiu'an was also very relieved about them. More than a dozen people worked together and were responsible for patrolling different areas.

The cultivated land in Yingping has doubled due to population growth and land development. Last year it was still a patch of weeds, but this year it has been turned into farmland and planted with food.

However, because the cultivation time was not long, the land was barren and could only be regarded as low-grade farmland. The rice grown is also sparse, with one plant taking up most of the leaves, and the resulting ears may not even be able to sustain enough food and clothing this year.

It seems that we have to continue to work for relief, Lu Jiuan thought as he walked.

There is abundant rain in summer and autumn, and water accumulates in the rice fields. At this juncture, the people do not dare to take it lightly. If they just sit back and do nothing, all the hard work of the year will be wasted.

Along the way, we saw that every household, whether male or female, would work hard in the fields to dig up the stems and divert the water out.

Several people arrived at the place where the Nu River leaked last year. They saw that the Nu River mouth that had been repaired last year was intact. The Water Resources Department was relieved: "Sir, the flood control sandbags here are blocked here. Later, they were piled thickly on both sides with soil to build it like a copper wall. It will come again this year." I don't believe it can be broken here."

"Shut up!" Lu Qi scolded him, "Can't you say something nice about the flood?"

The Water Resources Department wanted to flatter him, but he knew it when Lu Qi said this. He made a mistake, turned pale and stepped back.

The county magistrate's political performance mainly depends on whether he encourages farmers to teach farming and builds water conservancy projects. Therefore, the water conservancy department, like the tax department, is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, especially in July and August. The water conservancy department is so busy that there is no spare time.

Before Lu Jiu'an took office, the previous county magistrate was greedy for pleasure and rarely paid attention to such political affairs. He often sent three or five people to dig soil in front of farmers.

Even the group of people who were following him were very lax. Since Lu Jiu'an came, he has never stopped. Especially when Lu Jiu'an first arrived, the three tasks that the new official burned when he took office were drawing and building rivers. They went half way Damn it, the Water Conservancy Department is afraid that Lu Jiu'an will make some trouble again this year.

Last year, there was Guo Wen, who was in charge. This year, the chief administrator was kicked out, and we don't know who will fill the vacancy.

"Sir." Lu Qi said: "This year's floods have been alleviated a lot compared to last year. It should be because the fortifications are very effective. I think it will still be effective for three to five years."

Lu Jiu'an stepped on the grass hard, and the lush weeds slowly grew under his feet. Squeeze out a small stream of water.

"Of course it's a good thing that the river water no longer flows back. However, people have to manually divert water every day, which wastes time and energy. They go to the fields to scoop water all day long and have no time to do other things."

The Water Conservancy Department stood at the back and had a bad premonition after hearing this. Sure enough, he heard Lu Jiu'an continue: "Last year, we met the refugees, and then there was the epidemic, so we didn't have the energy to do other things. This winter, when the river dries up, we can gather more people." People will repair ditches and build water trucks. In the future, using machinery to replace manpower will free up a lot of labor. "

I am really afraid of what will happen. The water conservancy department's eyes darkened, and there was a wrinkled face, feeling that the next few people would come. The moon seems to be darkening.

He was feeling extremely sad when he suddenly heard someone calling his name and subconsciously responded.

Lu Jiu'an looked past the cluster of figures and looked directly at him: "Considering that a group of people in the county government are getting old and have no motivation, it is better to retire and return to their hometowns and stay at home to take care of themselves."

The Water Conservancy Department's heart condensed, Lu Jiuan The county magistrate was beating him. His head turned back and forth several times at once, and his reaction had never been so sensitive. "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern. I am only forty-two this year. I am in my prime. I am very important to the country and the people." It is my duty to do this."

Lu Jiu'an curled up his lips, and there was no hint of displeasure on his face: "That would be great. Last year, I saw that the waterwheel in Lijiawan was rotten and damaged, but it was not even washed away by such a large amount of water. It's long past time for the law to be upgraded. This year, in addition to phasing out the old waterwheel in Lijiawan and building a new one, we will conduct a water conservancy survey in Yingping to see how many waterwheels can be built and how to build river canals in order to minimize the cost. Please come up with a plan for the most cost-intensive area."

The Water Conservancy Department wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in what year and month would such a large project be completed. "I don't know when you will need it."

"Of course it will be more. The sooner the better."

"This..." The Water Resources Department was stumped by this ambiguous answer. It was difficult for him to answer without a specific answer.

Lu Jiu'an glanced at him and didn't intend to push anyone any further: "Well, I won't embarrass you. Give me the first draft in October and allow two months. That's enough."

The Water Conservancy Secretary thought to himself . He breathed a sigh of relief and tested: "I can't guarantee whether I can complete the job. Try your best."

Lu Jiu'an chuckled lightly, while Lu Qi became furious and kicked the water conservancy department on the knee: "Do you think You are kind and easy to talk to. I always try to challenge your bottom line over and over again. " The water conservancy

department knelt on the ground and shouted, "Lu Changsui is wronged. I never meant this."

Si felt very aggrieved at the moment. His attitude was so respectful, so why did he summon Lu Qi to refute him fiercely?

"You don't have this intention?" Lu Qi said bitterly: "If you feel embarrassed by your order, please explain it clearly and clearly. Your Majesty is not someone who will do whatever he wants indiscriminately. Don't say anything. A month, even a month is too much in my opinion, but you don't know what to do and you want to push the envelope and ignore the instructions of the adults!"

Lu Qi rarely gets so angry in the presence of Lu Jiu'an, it's really a shame. This group of idle and indolent people are insatiable and cause trouble to the adults in his family.

The rest of them were so frightened by Lu Qi's sudden anger that they fell into silence, lowering their heads in fear and not daring to say a word.

Lu Qi made a bad show, and Lu Jiu'an turned the big thing into a trivial matter. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him? He put his hands behind his back, showing no signs of joy or anger, and called out: "Where is the engineer from the Ministry of Industry?"

The engineer from the Ministry of Industry came out. , Lu Jiu'an said: "The Water Conservancy Department is under the jurisdiction of your Ministry of Works, right?"

This is going to affect Chi Yu. The Secretary of the Ministry of Works looked at the Water Conservancy Department and bowed to accuse: "They are all under the jurisdiction of the lower officials. "It's not strict, please punish me."

Lu Jiu'an said calmly: "I know that the Ministry of Industry has worked hard this year, and besides the yamen servants, you are doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, but I think I have not treated you badly, not only in salary. It has doubled from the original basis. During the Spring Festival last year, I also allocated most of the gifts from His

Majesty to you. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with? Jiu'an was the most approachable and generous boss he had ever seen. The director of the Ministry of Works felt ashamed to have such a person among his subordinates.

Lu Jiu'an sighed: "You have been working with me for so long, you should have known what kind of character I am. I have repeatedly emphasized that work should be planned in advance, with a general direction in mind, and doing the right thing at the right time. , The structure is clear. Last year, everyone in the county government participated in the construction of water conservancy projects. Building water trucks and repairing ditches was something that should have been thought of by you, but now I am asked to remind you. "

The Water Conservancy Department finally knows that it has made a mistake. What's wrong? He was lying on the wet ground, his hat was knocked askew, and he was extremely embarrassed: "Please give me another chance, sir."

Lu Jiu'an's eyes were cold: "I thought that after more than a year, the bad habits in the county government would be eliminated. I have made a lot of mistakes, but it turns out that there is still such a fish that has slipped through the net. I am worried that you are in charge of this matter at the Water Resources Department. From now on, the Water Resources Department will choose another person. The Secretary of the Ministry of Works will nominate someone. You won't let me down again."

Just fining the Water Conservancy Department is the mildest way to deal with it, and the Ministry of Works Engineer quickly said so.

The sun was setting at Youshi. Lu Jiuan walked for a day. When he returned to the county office, he was so thirsty that his throat was about to smoke. Lu Qi brought him a soup made with rock sugar and snow pear: "Sir, according to what you said, the sugar is in it." "Master, drink some to soothe your throat."

Lu Jiu'an took it and drank it in one gulp: "Forget it, I'm just thirsty. I'll drink some tea."

"I've also ordered someone to prepare some tea for you." Clapping his hands, the boy brought the plate up: "Sir, this is honey grapefruit tea, which has been brewed in well water."

After drinking this honey grapefruit tea, a refreshing feeling penetrated his heart, and Lu Jiuan felt The pores all over his body seemed to be open: "It's comfortable."

"It's good if you like it, sir." Lu Qi gently waved the fan for him and said distressedly: "Sir, you don't have to go tomorrow. The county government is so big, if you don't care about everything, No matter how good your body is, you can't bear it

with your own hands." Lu Jiu'an took the fan and threw it aside: "You went out with me today, and you are tired after all. Stop waiting around and sit there first. "In a moment."

"I'm not tired."

"Okay, you're not tired. Then go and get the important news out."

"I finished writing the local news and entertainment news yesterday. I'm going to quote the original wording of the imperial edict." Just modify it a little, I'll show it to you." Lu Qi was full of energy and immediately got up and ran to the study.

Lu Jiu'an listened to Lu Qi's footsteps gradually disappearing, closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to wait. He thought he was too distracted during the day and fell asleep unknowingly.

He fell into a deep sleep, and when Jiang Yu called over him twice, there was no response. It wasn't until the sky was filled with stars that Lu Jiu'an faintly woke up.

"Hurry and bring the hot food to the adults." Lu Qi ordered the boy waiting outside the door.

Lu Jiu'an felt like his chest was pressed against his back with hunger. After the food was served, he ignored the etiquette and ate it hungrily. Lu Qi was handing him tea and water, worried that he would eat too quickly and choke.

After eating seventy percent full, Lu Jiu'an put down his bowl and chopsticks restrainedly and picked up a silk cloth to wipe the corners of his mouth.

"Don't prepare so much food in the future. I can't eat so much by myself." He looked at the leftovers on the table and said to Lu Qi, "Don't dump it. I will continue to eat tomorrow."

He didn't know how to cherish food before, but since then In the Great Zhou Dynasty, I experienced so many hardships with the people, and then I realized that every particle is hard work.

The boy who was picking up the leftovers stopped and raised his head to look at Lu Jiu'an, feeling in a dilemma.

Lu Qi winked at him: "You continue to pack it up and serve it tomorrow as instructed by my lord. My lord, Guard Jiang came to see you just now. Do you want to read the important news I wrote first or listen to see what he wants?

Lu Jiu'an was indeed diverted. He thought for a while and said, "I read the important news you wrote a few days ago and it meets the requirements. You can just take care of it yourself. I will leave all the power to you in the future. " Call me."

Jiang Yu came quickly and told him about Xie Suiqian's visit to see him: "I told him that you were out, but he ran away and sent someone to wait at the gate of the county government. You went to report the message as soon as you came back. As a result, the boy didn't leave until Youshi.

"I guess he had something urgent to do," Lu Jiu'an recalled lazily, glancing at Lu Qi's hand. When reading the newspaper, he suddenly realized: "Before the construction of Life Plaza, he came to ask me for an advertising space. I didn't give it to him. He said it was a rolling bidding, but he actually forgot about it. After so long, the New Year's money is not Are you in a hurry?"

"What happened to the Xie family recently?" Lu Jiu asked. If nothing happened, he wouldn't rush to the county office.

"I know this." Lu Qi said, "They opened a new silk shop."

Lu Jiu'an nodded: "That's it. The Xie family should advertise their new store to attract people. Forget it, in order to make up for my Mistake, Lu Qi, you will open a business section in the news later and report on the Xie family's silk and satin shop. "

The Xie family's silk and satin shop was built by the eldest son Xie, who is also a well-rounded man. When the county government sent someone to Xie's house to inquire about the basic situation of the silk and satin shop, Xie's eldest son immediately realized Lu Jiu'an's intention. He took out the content he had prepared on the side and offered a generous amount of advertising fee in an interesting way.

The advertising fees were received by Lu Jiuan from Yingping Finance.

He opened it to read the information about the silk and satin shop written by Xie's eldest son: the name of the silk and satin shop, location, product content, etc. were all available, and he also thoughtfully wrote the slogan. Lu Jiuan felt sympathetic and couldn't help but praise : "This Xie Sui Qian is really good at giving birth. The two sons I have dealt with so far have their own

merits . I won't talk about Xie Huailiang. The eldest son Xie has a unique vision in business matters and should not be underestimated." From now on, it is his father who has been negotiating with Lu Jiu'an in the Xie family. It seems that the shadow of Xie's eldest son should often appear on the business battlefield in the future.

At the end of August, there were several heavy rains in succession, and Ying Ping survived without any danger. However, the laying of cement was temporarily affected by rainfall and construction had to be suspended.

At present, seven kilometers of cement roads have been laid in the east and west directions of the city. These two roads, one leading to Jiangzhou and the other leading to other counties, are the only way to pass.

Due to the economic depression in Jiangzhou this year, various county governments were overwhelmed and had no time to take care of themselves. Therefore, few people from other counties set foot on these two roads.

However, today, this cross-era road finally welcomed its first batch of guests.

At that time, Lu Jiu'an was standing in the bustling life square. Mu Lin, a stinky chess player, was criticizing the two people playing chess. Lu Jiu'an was sweating profusely and regretted wearing such complicated clothes.

Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd in front. Mu Lin suddenly stopped talking and stretched his neck to look there with interest. Lu Jiuan also heard the sound and looked there.

There are crowds of people, the sun is white, and the begonia flowers planted on the edge of the living square are filled with water drops, reflecting the radiant colors as passers-by bump back and forth.

There was a roar of people, and some people raised their hands in the air and cheered. Among the countless swaying figures, stood a tall, snow-white horse.

Lu Jiuan thought he was blinded by sweat.

Take another closer look.

It's really Han Zhi!

The man was sitting on the back of a horse. He seemed darker, and there was an unhealed scar on his forehead. His razor-sharp eyes were full of tenderness at the moment, and he was smiling lightly at him.

Lu Jiuan's heart trembled without even noticing it.

He just froze in place, watching Han Zhi slowly coming on horseback. Everything around him seemed to have gone away, and only that person remained in his eyes.

When Han Zhi came to him, Lu Jiu'an's throat tightened and he called out softly. Even he didn't hear it: "Han Zhi..."

At this time, another horse emerged from the diagonal side. The young man on the horse was young. He looked slightly younger than Lu Qi, and looked at Lu Jiu'an condescendingly, his eyes unruly.

He was thinking about the young man's identity when he saw the pony he was riding touching Xing Xiao's head. The intimacy was unusual. The young man turned his head and stopped looking at him. He called directly to Han Zhi, "Dad."

Lu Jiuan followed . With this statement, he became petrified.

Chapter 082

Han Zhi lightly kicked the colt and pushed the horse away. He stretched out his hand towards Lu Jiuan, and a well-preserved blue flower bloomed in his palm.

Lu Jiuan's mind was in a mess and he didn't answer it.

This man kept saying that he would not marry. He even left Yingping the last time and came back just to express his feelings to him. As a result, his children are now so big!

Lu Jiu'an doesn't know what he feels now, whether he feels more disappointed or more ridiculous.

Han Zhi stretched out his hands stubbornly, and there was a thick pile of soil under the blue flowers. He was blooming his beauty happily. He didn't even know that he was far away from his hometown and had arrived in the distant Yingping from Luoyun.

Silly.

Lu Jiu'an took a deep breath, took it calmly, and asked with a half-smile, "Is this Waji Hua?"

Han Zhi saw Lu Jiu'an curling up his lips and lowering his head, and gently pulled Waji Hua's wrist with his fingers. Petals, the force is very small, as if scratching an itch.

Today he wore a silver-white brocade gown with flowers, large dark plum blossom patterns looming, and a wide-brimmed brocade belt with smoky blue auspicious clouds tied around his waist, tightening his waist.

Han Zhi couldn't bear to move his eyes away. He felt that every part of Lu Jiu'an was attracting him and making his heart skip a beat.

Han Zhi's palms were sweaty: "Waji's peanut is on the border. I've always wanted to show it to you."

Lu Jiu'an returned the flower to him without comment and patted the dust on his hand: "It's just a flower. Brother Han is not far away." You must have been very tired after traveling thousands of miles."

As soon as they heard that General Han had arrived in Yingping, the people around him came in large numbers and surrounded the living square three floors inside and three floors outside. The young man riding the horse was there. He was pushed aside by the crowd, getting further and further away from Han Zhi.

Mu Lin had some free time and was shaking her fan, seemingly unaffected.

Han Zhi glanced at the kid who was drowned in the crowd and couldn't escape. Suddenly, he moved. He didn't know how he used the strength. He took Lu Jiu'an's waist and put it in front of him, avoiding the enthusiastic people: "First Go back to the county office."

Lu Jiuan sat on the horse, with Han Zhi's hot chest behind him. Every time Xiao Xiao took a step, he felt the strong muscles on his sides rubbing against him, and Han Zhi breathed. The hot air sprayed next to Lu Jiuan's ears, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Xiaoxiao quickly broke away from the crowd, turned around a willow tree, and entered a deserted alley.

"Jiu'an." Han Zhi suddenly wrapped his arms around Lu Jiu'an's waist and pulled him back tightly, pressing his hot body against him. Han Zhi buried his head on his shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "I miss you so much."

Han Zhi seemed to still have With the blood soaring from the battlefield, it enveloped Lu Jiu'an so airtight that he couldn't breathe.

Lu Jiu'an moved slightly, and Han Zhi opened his mouth and bit his white jade-like neck, biting it with his teeth: "Jiu'an, I like you, love you, love you, Jiu'an knows it. When I'm not around, Qin Jizhi Have you ever looked at Meng Yitai in a different light? "

The bite on Lu Jiuan's neck was itching, and goosebumps appeared on his hands. Han Zhi felt this way since the last time. After kissing him, his whole person changed. He used to be taciturn and looked like a reliable older brother, but now he was quick to make moves and say some incomprehensible words shamelessly.

Isn't it just to confess to him? He hasn't expressed his position yet? Why did Han Zhi say that as a friend?

It would be fine if he was sincere. Lu Jiu'an was already wavering. Maybe he would agree after being rubbed and soaked by Han Zhi. But now, Lu Jiu'an rubbed his back teeth and hit his elbow heavily behind him.

Ma De is a scumbag, he deceives people's feelings and makes them fall like lightning.

Han Zhi was hit hard by him. It didn't hurt or itch. He held his elbow with his right hand and patted it gently: "Does it hurt?"

Lu Jiu'an sneered: "General Han is too lenient." Qin Jizhi With his feet, he can go wherever he wants. As for Meng Yitai, a talented and beautiful woman who was once famous in Jiangzhou, it is only reasonable to have a different affection for her."

Han Zhi looked at her with a look . An, holding his face with one hand and turning him around, his thick black eyes seemed to be filled with snow that could not be melted away. Under such a close gaze, Lu Jiuan realized that this was a general, the god who blocked the killing god on the battlefield. , Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, the invincible God of War of the Zhou Dynasty.

"I clearly asked you to wait for me." Han Zhi said word by word, with a hint of imperceptible grievance in his tone.

Han Zhi's hands were like iron pliers. Lu Jiu'an broke away and pressed his tongue against the pinched cheeks, gibbering nonsense: "Get out, I'll wait for you if you ask me to. I'm beautiful as a flower." , the number of people chasing me can reach Shannan. What a joke, why didn't you say you have a son?"

Han Zhi was stunned and suddenly laughed as if the ice and snow were melting.

He held Lu Jiu'an in his arms again, and his chest was shaking with laughter. Lu Jiu'an couldn't bear the disturbance, stretched out his palm and slapped it, and accidentally hit the red heart, hitting Han Zhi's handsome face. The slaps were extremely loud in the deserted alley.

The hoof Xiao underneath him didn't know that his master had suffered. He kicked and walked happily, his soft mane waving in graceful arcs.

Lu Jiu'an was stunned for a moment and lacked confidence: "Crazy, can't you hear what I said?"

Han Zhi ignored him, laughed to himself for a while, grabbed the hitting hand and rubbed his red palm: "Han Linshen, this year's tenth year When he was three years old, his father adopted him to me when he was four years old. "

What do you mean?"

Lu Jiu'an seemed to be covered in paste at this moment, and his brain was completely shut down.

Han Zhi continued: "Jiu'an, why don't you think about it, if it were my biological son, wouldn't I be married and have a child at the age of fourteen?"

This truth is correct...

However, at the moment of enlightenment, Lu Jiu'an wished he could transform into a child. An ostrich burrowed into the ground.

Look at what he was doing before, like an unreasonable wife, aggressively pulling her husband's braids to accuse him.

No, what about the wife and husband? Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? What on earth was he thinking!

Han Zhi looked at Lu Jiu'an's flushed ears, and his heart felt like it had been rolled over and over in honey.

No matter when or where this person was, he was always so calm and graceful when facing him, as if nothing could make even the slightest ripple in his heart except for dealing with large and small matters and the common people.

Now, a rare look of shame appeared on his face, which seemed to become more vivid in front of him in an instant.

It's his Jiu'an.

Han Zhi sighed, unable to control himself. He looked at the ears looming under the black hair, rolled his throat, and tasted it carefully in his mouth.

Lu Jiuan's eyes widened in confusion, and his ears were kissed and licked repeatedly by Han Zhi's hot and moist tongue! He was so stiff that he was at a loss.

The words he had said to Mu Lin not long ago rang in Lu Jiu'an's head, and he thought with dissatisfaction: When he was a young man in bright clothes and an angry horse, he was wrong, he was about to become a concubine, like a pipa leaning into his arms, and he could be at your disposal. The palace merchants have gone through many twists and turns.

What is their relationship now? They held hands and kissed each other. Forget it, let's just treat him like a boyfriend. He is still so young. If he doesn't like it, just kick him out and find another one when the time comes.

Lu Jiu'an softened his waist and pinched Han Zhi's arm in silent resistance.

Han Zhi knew the taste of the marrow and became addicted to the kiss. He hugged Lu Jiu'an and never let go. As soon as his arms were pressed against him, he smelled the subtle scent of gourd on his body and felt very happy. He wished he could be tighter, tighter, even tighter. Crushed him into his flesh and bones, and shall not be separated day and night.

Tiaoxiao seemed to sense his master's mood, and slowed down his steps, taking three steps and one step back. It took him half a stick of incense to walk down the short alley.

The sun was scorching the earth, and a few cicadas were parked on the big trees beside the river, barking wildly. Occasionally, there was a figure on the street, passing by in a hurry. No one noticed the two people and the horse in the alley.

After a while, Xiaoxiao finally walked out of the alleyway that was full of light and dark.

Lu Jiuan's clothes were also messed up, his mouth was stained, and his eyes were covered with mist.

Lu Jiuan lost his temper and slapped General Han again: "Han Zhi, I told you to stop. Are you deaf? The reason why people are human is that they can control themselves..."

Lu Jiuan cursed and straightened his wrinkled face. Han Zhi used his calloused hands to brush through his hair, showing an indescribable tenderness between his brows.

Lu Jiu'an had packed up and was about to get off with his stirrup on. Han Zhi hugged him and said, "What are you doing?"

Lu Jiu'an took his hand away and said, "Let go. I'll go by myself."

Han Zhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and shook the reins with his hands. Xiaoxiao spread his hooves and started running. Han Zhi held down Lu Jiu'an who was unsteady and said, "Don't move, be careful if you fall."

Lu Jiu'an didn't dare to move anymore, and turned his head and glared at Han Zhi angrily.

Tiaoxiao is worthy of being the general's good horse. When running, there is wind under his feet. BMW is as popular as a sports car and is a man's favorite. Lu Jiu'an sat on the horse and soon forgot about his unswerving attitude just now. His eyes lit up slightly when he felt Xia Xiao's speed.

Amidst the noise of the wind, Han Zhi suddenly came close to his ear. Lu Jiuan thought that he was back to his old ways and was about to have an attack. Han Zhi's voice rang out: "Why are the people suddenly so enthusiastic this time?"

As soon as he saw him, he rushed over like a tide. Hugging a few of them, he was almost squeezed out and couldn't get close to Lu Jiu'an.

Lu Jiu'an paused: "I posted about your victory in the battle."

Han Zhi had a smile in his eyes. Lu Jiu'an couldn't see his expression, but he could imagine it from his suddenly clenched hand. Lu Jiu'an added uncomfortably: "Such a national event that pleases everyone deserves to be celebrated."

Han Zhi tried his best to suppress his boiling emotions and said softly: "Plant Waji flowers in the house later. You can see it all the time."

Tiao Xiao quickly arrived at the gate of the county government office. They were delayed in the alley for a while. Mu Lin, Han Linshen and others who were left behind had already returned to their house.

Han Linshen didn't recognize life at all. Walking in the county government office was like stepping on his own property.

Mu Lin slapped his shoulder with a folding fan: "I haven't seen you for so long. Don't you know how to say hello when you look at me?"

Han Linshen was wearing the same narrow-sleeved riding clothes as Han Zhi. His face was smelly and his tone was flat. : "Uncle Mu Shi."

This look and tone were exactly the same as when Han Zhi was a child. If Mu Lin hadn't known that Han Linshen was adopted, he would have thought he was Han Zhi's biological son.

Mu Lin suddenly laughed maliciously: "Speaking of which, I bet you will be punished by your father tonight."

Han Linshen didn't even raise his eyelids after hearing this. When Han Zhigang brought him to the border, in order to train him , I don't know how many methods and methods have been used, Han Linshen is not afraid at all, not to mention he has done nothing wrong.

Lu Qi led the way. Wu Gu came out and stared at Han Linshen with eager eyes. Lu Qi touched the top of its head and said, "It's a guest."

Wu Gu put away his alert posture, and his furry tail swept Lu Qi's ankles affectionately.

"Eh." Han Lin's eyes moved deeply, "This dog is quite interesting, comparable to Feng Deng."

"Feng Deng?" Mu Lin raised his eyebrows.

Han Linshen straightened his body and showed off in his tone: "My father just trained a wolf this year and raised it in the frontier fortress. He put a lot of effort into beating it this time. I originally wanted to bring it to Yingping with me. My father No. If you saw it, you would be shocked."

Lu Qi turned around and gave Han Linshen a strange look. Mu Lin laughed: "I'm surprised too, interesting!"

Lu Qi led the people through the corridor to the backyard. Han Linshen looked around, sat down reservedly, and said with a frown, "Is this Lu Jiu'an's mansion?"

Mu Lin looked at Lu Qi who had walked away outside the door, picked up the honey grapefruit tea on the table and took a sip: "Don't blame me. Uncle Shi didn't remind you, put away your fearless attitude, this is not Luoyun City, this is Yingping County Government, and Lu Jiu'an is the boss."

Han Linshen curled his lips and raised his right hand. The tabletop was smashed down, and the maroon camphor wood split into spiderweb-like lines in an instant.

Mu Lin stopped talking and saw that Han Linshen didn't listen to the advice, so he stopped talking. If Han Linshen and Lu Jiuan get into trouble by then, there will be a good show to watch.

Not long after the two sat dryly, the owner of the county government office also came back. Mu Lin whistled meaningfully: "Han Er, after all, I have made great contributions with you, but I can't bear to feed you. Look. Look, you and Lu Jiu'an are too tired to come back after so long."

Lu Jiu'an was already used to Mu Lin's teasing. Han Linshen sat firmly on the chair without getting up, trying his best. Pretending to be mature and prudent, he raised his chin and looked over arrogantly.

This look was like substance, and it was difficult for Lu Jiu'an not to notice it. Looking at Han Linshen's face that looked exactly like Han Zhi's, Lu Jiu'an was filled with doubts: Is this really Han Zhi's adopted son, and not the one he planted when he was fourteen?

Han Linshen suddenly stood up and walked to Han Zhi's side. The iron whip wrapped around his waist fell down intentionally or unintentionally, and he licked it from Lu Jiuan's arm, leaving a trace of blood: "Dad, I'm hungry, let's eat."

This little boy You bastard, Lu Jiu'an almost yelled, how could he have the same virtue as his father? Do you think he is easy to bully? One or two of them caused new injuries to him.

Han Zhi folded his arms and did not move, looking directly at him with dark eyes. Han Linshen shuddered and looked back, unwilling to be outdone.

The father and son just stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. The weird atmosphere only lasted for two minutes. Han Linshen was defeated and lacked the confidence to whisper: "Dad, I know I was wrong."

Han Zhi said in a cold tone: "Go After two hours of walking, lunch was gone."

Han Linshen clenched his fists and stamped his feet, staring at Lu Jiu'an fiercely. Lu Jiu'an smiled, wiped the blood off his arm very arrogantly, and licked it on his tongue. "Fortunately, General Han selflessly made decisions for the small ones, otherwise he would have been bullied by others."

Han Lin grinded his teeth, roared, and rushed out of the room with his head buried.

Mu Lin didn't expect to see a good show so soon. Even this game was too fast. It had just started to come to an end, and it ended before it climaxed. He clicked his tongue and said with regret: "Lu Jiu'an, Unexpectedly, you even care about a child."

Lu Jiu'an sneered: "You only care about children. Children are sick and must be treated." He patted Han Zhi on the shoulder and praised, "Well done.

" Listening to the loud laughter in the room, he felt aggrieved like a poor abandoned man.

He was punished on the first day he came to Yingping County Yamen. This was such a shame and humiliation. He must get it back from Lu Jiu'an!

After finally finishing his walk, he returned to the house. The tempting food had been removed. Looking at the empty dining table and stroking his growling stomach, he couldn't help but feel sad.

The young man who led the way just now came over again, and Han Linshen remembered that his name seemed to be Lu Qi.

Lu Qi put the basket in front of him: "Eat. My master said that you won't grow taller if you don't eat. He was afraid that you would become a dwarf in the future and disgrace General Han, so he specifically asked me to leave two nests for you."

Chapter 083

Everything was quiet that night. Han Zhi followed Lu Jiu'an into the bedroom, but was kicked out by Lu Jiu'an.

Han Zhi held the square pillow in his hand and leaned against the door frame, unwilling to leave.

Lu Jiu'an pressed his forehead in annoyance, unable to imagine that this was something a dignified general would do.

On the first day the relationship was established, I thought about living together, which was a good idea.

Han Zhi's hands gripped the doorframe tightly like iron pliers. Lu Jiu'an couldn't break it open, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You have your own bedroom, why would you come and sleep with me on a hot day?"

Han Zhi was justified: "Lin Shen stayed at my place. Jiu'an, I haven't seen you for a long time. I just want to have a good night chat with you. Don't you want to hear how I drove away the barbarian?"

"No," Lu Jiu'an said. Move, when can't talk, it has to be at night. Han Zhi's move is really Sima Zhao's intention. Everyone knows: "Take your hands away, I don't care about you."

Lu Jiu'an looked stern and said very firmly in front of Han Zhi closed the door in front of him.

Being rejected by his sweetheart without hesitation, Han Zhiwo returned to his own room with a fire, and Han Linshen lay on the bed with his back stretched out, sleeping soundly.

When he was pushed awake, he saw Han Zhi sitting by the bed with an expressionless face. He rubbed his eyes and turned over sleepily: "Dad, it's so late, I thought you wouldn't come back to sleep."

Han Zhi While undressing, he said: "Don't hit Magistrate Lu in the future."

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary daily chore, but when Han Lin heard it deeply, he felt aggrieved inexplicably. He hid in the darkness Inside, the villain in my heart began to burst into tears.

"I want to go back to Shannan, I want to go back to my father."

Han Zhi had already taken off his shirt and was lying on the bed with his arms and bare body: "Linshen, don't lose your temper."

"I know everything." Han Linshen said lowly Sheng murmured, in fact, when he was at the border, he broke into Commander Yang and Han Zhi's report about Ying Ping. Later, he learned about Lu Jiu'an's existence through some insinuation.

"Mr. Lu is brilliant and cares about the people. The general admires him very much." Yang Gengqing said.

It's not appreciation, Han Linshen was precocious, Han Zhi would look at the hot rod sent by Lu Jiu'an tenderly from time to time, and he understood what it meant.

The wise and wise man who taught him carefully is no longer his only father. From now on, he will become a poor man with no love from his father and no love from his mother.

The more Han Linshen thought about it, the sadder he became. He pulled off his unlined clothes and quietly wiped the snot bubbles on it.

The next day, Han Zhi seemed as if nothing had happened last night, and followed Lu Jiu'an for morning training with a calm face. The Han family had a very strict family tradition, and Han Linshen naturally could not escape this fate.

Han Linshen had been holding his breath since he arrived at Yingping. Coupled with the fact that he was at a disadvantage in the battle with Lu Jiuan yesterday, he was determined to get a win.

Han Linshen was full of fighting spirit and ready to go. Lu Jiuan glanced at him and slowly moved his wrists to do warm-up exercises. When the running command sounded, Han Linshen rushed out like a cannonball, and soon disappeared, while the county training in the morning The people in the yamen moved forward unhurriedly according to their usual rhythm.

Lu Jiu'an nudged Han Zhi with his elbow: "Has Han Linshen always been so energetic?"

Han Zhi said: "I will discipline him. Linshen may have just arrived in Yingping from the frontier and is not used to it yet. He is not like this on weekdays. "

Lu Jiu'an doesn't think so. It seems that this kid has reached puberty and is at the time of rebellion. He used to grow up in the army, being promoted by the soldiers, and he was pretentious. When I came to a remote small county like Yingping, I didn't feel superior.

Han Zhi, a father who treated him harshly, used the method of training soldiers to educate him. He was indifferent to the child's real needs and allowed it to develop. Maybe his character would be flawed in the future.

Lu Jiu'an adjusted his breathing and said, "Let me tell you in advance that even if he is the son of your general, if he messes with me for no reason, I will not let it go. I will help you teach him a lesson when the time comes."

Han Zhi tenderly sold his son: "There is no difference between you and me. Just discipline it for me."

When the officials ran to the finish line, Han Linshen had already climbed up to the big tree beside him out of boredom. There was an adult on the straight trunk. The hug was so thick that Han Linshen hung upside down on the branch and swung it back and forth, showing off his power: "You guys are really too slow."

Lu Jiuan stared at his calf for a while and smiled gently: "It was just a daily morning run, so I don't care about speed. , but I see that the young general runs very fast, are you interested in trying it?"

Han Linshen turned over nimbly from the tree and jumped down: "Okay, who should I compete with?" Regarding regaining the ground from Lu Jiu'an? He has always been worried about this matter.

"Zhan Weizhu." Lu Jiu'an had already considered this.

Zhan Weizhu came out of the queue. She stood there in a short brown dress, looking heroic.

The onlookers had already opened a bet with great interest, betting on the eggs in the morning, but most of them were betting on Zhan Weizhu, and not many people were optimistic about Han Linshen.

Han Zhi took a cursory glance and said concisely: "She is no match for Linshen."

Lu Jiu'an stood aside with interest in his hands: "It seems that you are very confident in the people you teach personally. What a coincidence, I also think highly of my subordinates. "Why don't we make a bet too?"

Han Zhi tilted his head and looked at him seriously: "Okay, if Jiu'an loses, let me go to your room to talk by candlelight and sleep.

" Okay." Lu Jiu'an seemed to no longer care about Han Zhi's persistence in entering his bedroom. Feng Qingyun kicked the fallen leaves on the ground calmly, and his feather-like eyelashes cast a row of beautiful shadows under the sunlight: " If you lose, Brother Han, can you promise me one thing?"

Since he and Lu Jiuan made their feelings clear, the other party has never called him Brother Han again. When he heard him call him out again, Han Zhi's heart palpitated slightly. .

From Han Zhi's point of view, Lu Jiu'an thought he had hidden his cunning tail very well, but little did he know that Han Zhi was always paying attention to his every move, and no matter how subtle his expression was, he could not escape his eyes.

In front of him, Lu Jiu'an was like a fox that had been stripped of its disguise, revealing everything.

"What's the matter?" Han Zhi heard himself ask.

"Hey, it's actually not that difficult. I just want you to change places to sit for a while. It won't be much, just sit for a day."

The competition still adopts a best-of-three game, and as soon as the command whistle blows, both of them rush forward like the wind. After getting out, the winner was quickly decided within a short distance of a hundred meters.

Han Linshen enjoyed the fierce cheers of the Yamen officials with great pride. He already had a chance to win the test, so it was no surprise that he won the game after going all out.

"Jiu'an," Han Zhi quietly grabbed Lu Jiu'an's left hand hanging by his side, and the rough callus rubbed his smooth wrist: "You will definitely like the story beyond the wall."

Lu Jiu'an withdrew his hand in a funny voice: "Brother Han, Isn't it too early for you to be proud?"

Han Zhi said: "Linshen was called the little cheetah by the generals in the army."

During the years when Han Linshen followed him outside the Great Wall, Han Zhi never stopped teaching him martial arts. Just like the old general who trained him, Han Zhi was very confident in his son and disciple who had been passed down by him since childhood.

Moreover, during the morning exercise just now, Han Zhi was a little concerned about the only woman among the yamen, so he looked at her a few times, which was enough for him to judge the result.

"Really?" Lu Jiu'an looked at the center of the field leisurely: "Zhan Weizhu is called the peregrine falcon by his fellow officers in the yamen. Then let's see who can win between the cheetah and the peregrine falcon."

Then . As soon as Lu Jiu'an finished speaking, Zhan Weizhu in the distance bent down, unbuttoned his trousers, and took out a black cloth bag from inside. Zhan Weizhu threw the bag on the ground, kicking up a thin layer of dust.

Zhan Weizhu has been wearing weights on his legs!

Han Zhi was stunned for a moment, and Han Linshen looked at the bag in astonishment for a moment with his mouth open. He ran over and pulled the rope off the bag, and the sand inside slipped from his fingers like water.

Lu Jiu'an followed Mu Lin's example and blew a loud whistle to Han Linshen, cheering him on regardless of previous suspicions: "Little Cheetah, run faster, your father is betting all on you. If you get killed by me, It would be interesting if the peregrine falcon in the mansion catches up."

Han Linshen's eyes were red with anger as he flew up to express his anger and kicked the sand on the ground.

Than what? When he competed with Zhan Weizhu, who had a sandbag tied to his leg, he was only two steps ahead. Now that Zhan Weizhu has taken off his burden, the outcome is clear.

Sure enough, in the next two games, Zhan Weizhu won with ease.

"Hey." The yamen servant rushed away in disappointment. He thought that a young general came to the house and could destroy Zhan Weizhu's majesty, but his expectations were disappointed.

Lu Jiu'an raised his chin proudly, as if his treacherous plan had succeeded: "General, a manly man, once you make a promise, it's hard to keep up with the horse, but don't forget today's bet."

As the saying goes, a ruler has its strengths, but an inch has its weaknesses. Soldiers on the border have always been trained in marching and forming formations, fighting and killing enemies, and their running speed is second to none.

Zhan Weizhu is different. She is in the second class of the Yamen and has been trained as a rescuer. She has always had high requirements for rescue speed. In addition, Lu Jiuan exchanged the training manual for track and field athletes from the computer. She usually has Following the above method to improve their muscles and explosive power, wouldn't it hinder Han Linshen a lot?

From the beginning, Lu Jiuan was convinced that Zhan Weizhu would win.

After playing along with Han Zhi and picking up the slack, Lu Jiu'an was in a happy mood. He was even more satisfied with looking at the naughty kid Han Linshen.

After the morning exercise, the government officials chatted and laughed and went to the cafeteria to eat. Han Linshen had not yet recovered from the shock, and stood motionless on the spot. Han Zhi called out sternly before picking up his heels.

In the army, Han Linshen was cared for by all the soldiers because of his relationship with the general's son. But in Yingping, no one would tolerate him, so he wanted to have a meal? Line up and call yourself. In the county government canteen, all living beings are equal, and even County Magistrate Lu has to follow the rules.

Han Linshen was caught in the middle of a group of big and thick men. He ran a step late and almost didn't even eat the morning meal. The aunts in the cafeteria who were serving food saw that he was so angry and looked very cute. They said unceremoniously with their hands stained with vegetable oil. After touching his face, everyone spread some of their own food and took it out to save him from starvation.

Poor Han Linshen went out in a high spirit, but was subjected to abuse and humiliation. His face was covered with the palm prints of the old woman. He clinked the bowl of porridge and placed it heavily on the long table.

"Young General Linshen, don't you want to eat?" Lu Jiu'an asked hypocritically.

Han Linshen originally wanted to eat, but when Lu Jiuan looked at it with smiling eyes, he rubbed his neck and said angrily: "I won't eat the food you came here."

"Well, you are quite brave." Lu Jiuan said deliberately: "There is no Wowotou today. "

Who wants to eat your steamed buns?" Han Lin stood up in shock, threw the bowl away, and ran away.

Han Zhi frowned. Since Han Linshen came to Yingping, he seemed to have developed a backbone. For some reason, he was reluctant to deal with Lu Jiu'an. Lu Jiu'an held down his tense muscle hand and took a sip of porridge: "Don't worry, as long as you are a human being, you will eventually be able to escape the law of true fragrance."

Dealing with naughty children is just like making glutinous rice balls, with flour sprinkled with water and kneaded. Knead and hammer the rolling pin to make it relaxed and docile.

Han Zhi peeled the eggs and put them in Lu Jiu'an's bowl, and whispered: "For you to eat."

Lu Jiu'an looked around and saw that no one was watching. He poked it lightly with his chopsticks, and the candied egg yolk flowed out along the holes and was mixed with the porridge. It was yellow and white. He separated it in half with chopsticks and put half of it into Han Zhi's bowl: "You eat it. You are a military commander and your physical strength is exhausted faster than me."

Lu Jiu'an drank the porridge and ate side dishes and asked: "You How long do you plan to stay in Yingping this time?"

"I killed a young prince in Taman this time." Han Zhi said: "Their elites were severely injured and their vitality was severely damaged. They should not be able to recover in two or three years.

" Wanting to stay longer, Lu Jiu'an tilted his head and said, "Isn't there a problem if you don't stay in Luoyun?"

"Luoyun is the border defense of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the Tartars don't intrude, there won't be any waves. The main thing now is Train the cavalry and raise enough war horses. The land of Yueqi has been captured by me, and we have enough pastures, so we don't have to worry about the war horses. When I left, I had already left the training of the cavalry to me. They're gone."

After Lu Jiuan finished his meal, Han Linshen didn't even come back. The aunt who was serving food in the cafeteria put away the cold bowl of porridge and three steamed buns.

Lu Jiuan ordered: "If he comes later and asks for food, don't give it to him."

Chapter 084

The aunt in charge of the meal in the cafeteria glanced at Han Zhi secretly: "Aren't you going to give me lunch today?"

The gods fight, and the fish in the pond suffers. It seems that the magistrate deliberately wants to teach the young general a lesson. Even if the general is here, if he makes a mistake...

it will be the servants like them who will be punished in the end.

Lu Jiu'an gave her reassurance: "No, as long as I don't agree, neither lunch nor dinner will be given. How could the young general compromise so quickly if he is so ambitious? Don't worry, just follow my instructions. If If something goes wrong, General Han will always come to me to settle the score, right, Brother Han?"

Han Zhi turned a blind eye to Lu Jiu'an's behavior of harming his son from the beginning to the end, as if he was indifferent to Han Linshen. It wasn't until Lu Jiu'an asked him proactively that he stretched out his hot palm and touched him gently: "It's up to you to decide."

Most of the county government servants were sent out by Lu Jiu'an to inspect the water conditions and fields, and there were also several people from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Visit villages and conduct population comparisons to prevent incomplete household registration or residents not reporting.

In addition, it has been a year since the last time people were recruited. Lu Jiu'an also wanted to know if there had been any new people flowing into Yingping during this period.

Han Linshen had gone somewhere, and the entire government office was mostly empty. A Duo and Yang Miaomiao were studying at the county school. Without the children's laughter and laughter, it seemed much quieter.

"Hey, let me tell you." Lu Jiu'an asked, "Won't you feel heartbroken if I'm too cruel to Han Linshen?"

Han Zhi's attitude determines whether Lu Jiu'an wants to interfere with this nosy matter, and to what extent he can discipline him. After all, he is not the mother of the child.

There was no one around. Han Zhi grabbed Lu Jiu'an's wrist, intertwined his fingers with him, and looked into his eyes seriously: "Jiu'an, I believe you. You are kind to strangers and children. You are definitely cruel as you say. It's not a vicious thing."

When facing Taman, Han Zhi was a murderous iron-blooded general. When facing strangers, he was an expressionless wooden man. When facing Lu Jiu'an, he changed. He became an infatuated person who was affectionate and affectionate, as if he wanted to trap Lu Jiu'an in the love network he had woven by himself. The more he struggled, the tighter he became until he was trapped and unable to escape.

For some reason, Lu Jiu'an laughed happily and twirled his fingers in his palm like crazy: "Are you so unprincipled? If you were the emperor, wouldn't I have become that blue-faced scourge who brought disaster to the country and the people and disturbed the public. Han Linshen, that little devil is really It's pitiful, if he knew that his only support was kidnapped by the person he hates the most, he would be angry and cry."

Thinking of such a scene, Lu Jiu'an laughed full of malice.

Han Zhi looked at him indulgently: "Actually, Linshen is not so domineering. I usually teach him literary skills and martial arts, and my master teaches him poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music. But now, you might as well teach him a lesson, it will save you the trouble in the future. It's a big disaster."

"We also hired a special master." Lu Jiu'an asked, "Where is the master?"

"He is still on the way." Han Zhi said: "The master is too old to rush. Too anxious, he was my former teacher."

"General Han's teacher." Lu Jiu'an laughed teasingly, "He must have great talent."

Looking at Lu Jiu'an like this, Han Zhi felt that he couldn't bear it . Unable to hold on any longer, he randomly found a side room and dragged Lu Jiu'an in amid his exclamations.

How did Lu Jiu'an know that Han Zhi was so cowardly that he would kiss whenever he wanted no matter where he was. It was the same last time in the alley. If anyone saw him, his reputation would be ruined.

Lu Jiu'an even wondered whether Han Zhi suffered from skin hunger and thirst due to lack of love since he was a child. He always stuck to him like glue, either shaking hands or kissing on the mouth.

The most disgusting thing is that once this person starts, he has no control and can't stop. He pretends to be deaf and mute and turns a deaf ear to all his complaints and scoldings.

"Okay, okay, kiss me again and I have to take care of business."

"Han Zhi, are you serious, are you..."

"Go away...I'm going to starve you to death. " Son."

The sun was scorching, and Han Zhi was locked up outside the study by Lu Jiu'an. Mu Lin happened to pass by and gloated: "Look, I said to boil the frog in warm water slowly, but you took one step and got it right. Come on."

"Han Zhi." Jiu An called out in a cold voice.

Han Zhi kicked Mu Lin neither gently nor hard and pushed the door open.

Even though Lu Jiu'an was angry, he put his official duties first. After handling some things in the study, his expression returned to normal. He threw a thick stack of documents in front of Han Zhi: "The bandits who surrendered last year, with you, What should I do?"

The document registered the names and backgrounds of those who were recruited and surrendered in a form, clearly recording what they did during the labor reform period and their performance points that were increased or decreased based on their performance.

Afraid that Han Zhi would not understand the meaning of those Arabic numerals, Lu Jiuan went out of his way to explain it.

"Those with a number of 0 are basically judged as those who have reformed their evil ways. Those with a bar in front represent negative numbers. The larger the number, the more stubborn the person is."

Many prisoners who still have family members alive are undergoing reform through labor. He is proactive and generally performs well. As for those who are alone, they feel like they are muddle along and live in a broken pot.

Han Zhi said: "Those who have reformed, put them back. I'm here to help you with the arrests."

Lu Jiu'an breathed a sigh of relief. Han Zhi's thoughts coincided with his. According to Judging from the inspection of water conditions in the past few days, the cultivated area in Yingping is still too small. If these people are put back, they can fill the gap.

But he didn't know what he was doing, and he was afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain. This time he planned to implement the plan while Han Zhi was in Yingping, but before he proposed it, Han Zhi said it for him.

Lu Jiuan regained the feeling of hugging his thighs: "Those prisoners with negative performance scores..."

"Give those people to me." Han Zhi said in a sinister tone: "You pointed out a good way for them to pass. , then cross my single-plank bridge."

General Han had his own method. Lu Jiu'an didn't think much about it and solved his major problem. Lu Jiu'an pulled his collar and leaned lazily on his chair.

Han Zhi held the document and rubbed his thumb back and forth on the unfamiliar symbols in thought.

In fact, he had heard the Arabic numerals mentioned by Lu Jiu'an before when he was at home, but he didn't take them to heart. Now it seems that these symbols are simple and easy to write. Not only can it be used to record numbers, but it may also be useful in the military: "If these symbols are used to replace code words to transmit intelligence signals, it will be much simpler."

Unconsciously, Han Zhi spoke out his inner thoughts.

"A code word?" Lu Jiu'an casually continued: "Use Morse code. It can speak and write, convenient and fast."

Lu Jiu'an raised his head, hanging comfortably behind the chair, completely unaware that he was After saying something earth-shattering, Han Zhi's eyes lit up: "How to use Morse code?"

Lu Jiu'an played with the white jade porcelain cup in his hand, spinning it around on the table.

Different from his dexterous flying fingers, Lu Jiu'an called out slowly: "Han Zhi, do you know?"

Han Zhi looked at him intently: "What's the matter?"

"Nothing?" Lu Jiu'an laughed evilly, and there was a sound in the study. The sound of the porcelain cup hitting the table from time to time: "I just said something."

"What words."

"Swearing at you." Lu Jiuan put the porcelain cup on the table, and the annoying voice stopped immediately. He crossed the table and approached Han Zhi, pinching Han Zhi's chin arrogantly: "I just scolded you with a porcelain cup and called you a bastard. The general must not have noticed. This is Morse code."

...

Han Zhifei With great effort, he suppressed the evil thoughts that suddenly surged in his body. He rolled his throat, closed his eyes, recalled the sound he just heard, and imitated tapping his fingers on the table one by one: "Is it this one?"

"The wrong one in the middle." Lu Jiuan was so impressed: "How could it be...how did you notice it? I did it so secretly."

Han Zhi held his waist and dragged him from the table . Come over and kiss his wide eyes: "I've been watching you."

Looking at your every move, I knew when the corner of your mouth raised, I knew you were having a bad idea.

Lu Jiu'an turned over from the table helplessly.

"As expected of a general, he is so sensitive to intelligence, but it's a pity." Lu Jiu'an spread his hands: "I only learned two sentences. In addition to this sentence, there is also a signal for help, three short, three long and three short. "

Lu Jiu'an said, and he performed it live for him. This time, he used another method. He took three pens according to local conditions, took out 6 tea leaves from the tea warehouse, and threw three on each side. The tea leaves were scattered. It has to be casual. If someone who doesn't know sees the things on the table, they won't be able to detect any deep meaning.

"Look, this can also be regarded as Morse code. The method is different. As long as the long and short sentences are arranged in this order, the purpose can be achieved."

There are very few cases where Da Zhou can use code words. They are mostly used to transmit intelligence in the military. Where? Just like in the TV series, there will be so many conspiracies, assassination organizations and the like. The reason why he was here to educate Han Zhi enthusiastically was just because men were born with a special liking for Morse code.

Han Zhi buried his head in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, if you like it, I can't teach you Morse code. Arabic numerals and English are still acceptable." Lu Jiu'an lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to learn it, Brother Han?" A

breeze blew in the hot room . With a gust of cool wind, Han Zhi suddenly raised his head and rushed towards him like a wolf. Lu Jiuan was startled. This Han Zhi was so unreasonable!

"I'll teach you, I'll teach you." Lu Jiu'an surrendered, "But you have to pay some tuition."

Han Zhiwu looked at him with heavy eyes, and Lu Jiu'an took two steps back angrily: "I'm just joking, teaching for free . Okay."

Han Zhi rubbed the back of his neck silently, making Lu Jiuan's hair stand on end.

When he almost couldn't bear the huge pressure, Han Zhi sighed and went back to the bedroom. After a while, he carried an inconspicuous box and put it in his hand: "All my money is here. It doesn't matter if I give it all to you. "

The only advantage of Han Linshen coming to Yingping is that he doesn't have a master to keep talking about and controlling him, and Han Zhi no longer strictly restrains him. Han Linshen is like a wild bird coming out of its cage, completely letting himself go. .

However, days like this soon become tiring. Those cement bell towers in Yingping are quite refreshing after seeing them once, but they are boring after seeing them again.

What's more, in the past few days, he had been eating out to get angry with Lu Jiu'an, and he had no concept of money. He spent it lavishly, and all the silver in his hand was quickly spent.

It was when Han Linshen was growing that he became hungry very quickly, and his stomach growled uncomfortably even if he didn't eat a meal.

Han Lin deeply touched his stomach, gritted his teeth, and hid outside the cafeteria until Lu Jiu'an finished his meal and left, then sneaked in. Unexpectedly, he was told that there was no food as soon as he took two steps to the door.

"Don't try to fool me." Han Linshen pointed to the group of busy aunts in the cafeteria: "What are they hiding? Also, why are you hiding and avoiding looking at me? Maybe there is

something wrong in your heart." The cafeteria steward was caught red-handed . , unable to prevaricate, he told the whole story: "It's not that I don't want to give it to the general, it's Master Lu who ordered me not to give it to you. If I disobey the order, I will be punished."

"Okay!" Han Linshen was furious. Burning, he knew it was Lu Jiu'an who was behind it. He didn't dare to compete openly and only knew these underhanded tricks.

Filled with anger, he walked from the lobby to the backyard, and then from the backyard to the study room without touching anyone.

"Where's Lu Jiu'an?" Han Linshen grabbed a boy and asked.

"School is over today. Master Lu went to the county school to pick up A Duo and Miaomiao after lunch." The boy looked up at the clock tower, "If I don't talk about Journey to the West, I should be back soon. Hey, look at me, little boy What are you talking about? Isn't your lord coming back soon?"

In the autumn afternoon, the sky was filled with glow, and the colorful crisp birds hid sleepily under the rock of the hall. The threshold of the county government office was kicked by a careless government officer at the beginning of the year and was broken into pieces. Two halves. While Lu Jiu'an was repairing the dining room that was destroyed by the fire, he changed the threshold by the way, making it a few centimeters higher than the previous one.

The crisp laughter came from far away. Lu Jiuan did not tie up his hair or wear a crown today. He casually pulled a hair tie and tied it into a braid, which hung long on the right side of his shoulder. This look made him look particularly young and elegant, like a scholar in the age of Wu Xiang.

When crossing the threshold, Lu Jiu'an used both hands to hold the shorter child next to him in his arms.

"Is that kid Lu Jiu'an's younger brother?" Han Linshen asked confusedly.

"This guy, I can't tell you. He seems to be Commander Yang's nephew."

Lu Jiu'an put down the child, holding one in each hand, and they walked slowly past him, talking and laughing.

"Sir, Master praised me for my intelligence and rewarded me with a small red flower." Yang Miaomiao carefully took out a petal-shaped red paper-cut from her arms and pasted it on her forehead: "I already have four, so I can collect five." , you can exchange it for the Zhi gift you want."

"It's very good!" Lu Jiu'an lightly tapped his forehead, "Does Miaomiao want any Zhi gift?"

Yang Miaomiao thought carefully: "I I want to give my grandfather a lucky bag. It was made by Master Meng himself. It was prayed for and blessed in the temple. It can bless my grandfather's long life."

No one noticed Han Linshen who had been standing next to him for a long time.

"Lu Jiu'an." Han Linshen, who was completely ignored, became even more angry. He stopped the three of them angrily, "Why don't you give me food?"

Chapter 085

Lu Jiu'an was confused: "Han Linshen, you said that that day, you won't eat the food that comes. Since you are so brave, don't touch anything in this county government office."

Han Linshen was very angry: "I am... ..."

"I don't care who you are." Lu Jiu'an interrupted him, "Don't you think that you can do whatever you want with your noble status? Kid, didn't your wife teach you that those who know the current affairs are heroes? The whole thing is mine. If you want to eat it, fine, then just exchange it for something! If there is nothing I like, then I can exchange it for something."

Han Linshen's body trembled slightly, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have something to eat. Endured great grievances.

"You avenge your personal revenge." Han Linshen gasped, "You don't like me, so you deliberately target me. People say that children are the weapons of the country. I haven't even reached the age of leadership, how can I... ." ..How can you let me work in exchange for food?"

"Yes." Lu Jiu'an said: "Being born in a Dingdang Jade family, of course you don't have to worry about poverty. How do families survive? Not to mention that you are only 13 years old. Those children who are only 6 years old may be carrying bamboo baskets and letting others drink, just for a bite of food. You used to have clothes and food. It's time to open your mouth, so I'm telling you now, if you want to get what you want, you have to fight for it yourself."

Lu Jiu'an said this and pulled Ado to his side: "Ado, I am younger than you. He trains dogs in our county government office."

Han Linshen looked up and down, pointed at A Duo tremblingly, and asked with some disbelief: "He trained the police dogs?"

Lu Jiu'an ignored him and pulled Yang Miaomiao and continued: "Miaomiao, currently studying at the county school, is smart and eager to learn. Last month she earned some red flowers and redeemed a miscellany for me; Lu Qi, who used to be an academic teacher, is now responsible for writing daily news; even you Dad is not a freeloader. He also works as a warden in the county government to reform prisoners. "Little general, what can you do?

"

The soldiers in the army said that he was brave and good at fighting and could compete with the young generals. The master praised him for his intelligence, being familiar with classics and history, and having the ability to govern the country...

So, what can he do?

In the past, he was defeated in a competition with a woman, which made him unable to see Han Zhi for several days. Now everyone in the Lujiu'an County Government Office has a special skill. Compared with these people, he seems to have become an insignificant mayfly. , disappeared from the public in the county government office.

"I can..." In just a few breaths, Han Lin turned around a hundred times. His mind was drawn by Lu Jiu'an. The more he thought about it, the more incompetent he felt: "I can sweep the floor."

"Okay, you said it. Yes, you can sweep the floor."

So Han Linshen became a cleaner.

Every morning early in the morning, Han Linshen was dragged by his father after his morning exercises, and then went to clean the backyard of the county government office with a broom and Kuhaha. Because he was sweeping, kicking, and scolding, the whole backyard was filled with his hoarse screams of injustice. Jiu'an thought that his bitterness and hatred were harmful to his ears, so he sent him out to clean the trash cans in the life square.

It is really laughable that the son of a dignified general should be reduced to a public place to clean up the filth.

It was hot and humid in Yingping, and the trash can smelled after just one day. Han Linshen was so smoked that he almost carried it on his back: "It's too much to bully others."

When eating in the cafeteria in the afternoon, Lu Jiuan couldn't bear to see Han Linshen being tortured so much.

Han Linshen glared at him fiercely, turned his grief and anger into appetite, and filled a large plate of food in front of him, quite showing off. Lu Jiuan kindly reminded: "It is not suitable for farmers to farm. If you can't finish it, it will be wasted." Food."

How could Han Linshen accept his favor? He snorted coldly and continued to go his own way, then ate until the end, leaving only half of it.

Lu Jiu'an, who was just a little loose, turned into a ruthless devil again. He looked at the child gently: "Han Linshen, do you know that every grain of food on the plate is hard work? I won't tell you that you left a bowl full of porridge before." I don't care, you really can't eat it today, so I won't force you. I'll keep it for you, no matter how long it takes, even if it gets rancid, you have to pour it into your stomach."

Lu Jiuan had a gentle smile on his face, just like that day. I saw him holding Yang Miaomiao at the door of the government office, but the words coming out of his mouth had a hint of coercion.

Han Linshen tugged on Han Zhi's sleeves and blinked at him desperately, as if to tell him: Look, dad, this is Lu Jiu'an's true face. You have been blinded by his hypocritical appearance.

Han Zhi was unmoved: "Master Lu is right, you should reflect on yourself."

Han Linshen was given a blow to the head mercilessly by Han Zhi, and he felt that all his thoughts were lost. He looked at the people around him, as if everyone was on the opposite side of him, helpless.

That night, Han Linshen was lying alone on the bed, thinking that after coming to Yingping, he would suffer all the grievances he had not suffered before and thank Lu Jiuan for it. He repeatedly cursed "treacherous" and "cunning" in his mouth. "Shameless person".

By the end of the scolding, Han Linshen felt sleepy and thirsty, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

On the endless grassland, the sky is clear on the left, and it is pouring on the right. Big raindrops splash on the gray city wall.

The wind was strong, and an army of black lead clouds hung over Luoyun City like a pressing force. It stretched out its arms and legs and spun and danced in an orderly manner. It was as if a curtain had been cast across the sky and the earth, and everything was pitch black.

The horses neighed and moved quickly in the wind, as if they were singing music from outside the world.

Han Linshen stepped on the gravel and came to the small jungle. The soldier held his hand and said, "Little general, the trap we made caught a plump rabbit."

"Really?" Han Linshen was overjoyed and followed the soldier's steps. When I came to the trap, I opened up the haystack. Sure enough, there was a white and fat rabbit lying in the trap. It was kicking its limbs and struggling in vain. However, when the rabbit turned its head, it had a long face. face?

"This..." After being stunned for two seconds, Han Linshen quickly put aside his doubts and laughed heartily with his hands on his hips: "Okay, one day you will fall into my hands."

Since he caught a Lu Jiu'an, Then take him back and lock him in a cage, cut off his water and cut off his grass...

Before this idea could form in his head, Han Linshen suddenly saw the figure of that harmless rabbit. After several changes, he slowly turned into a ferocious and terrifying lion.

The lion opened its huge mouth and bit at his neck!

"Ah!" Han Linshen woke up with a start, sweating profusely. He touched his neck with lingering fear, only to find that because of his inelegant sleeping posture, he had tossed and turned in the middle of the night and got tangled in the quilt.

A few days ago, Lu Jiu'an asked his servants to clean up an empty bedroom for him, and he moved out. Now he wakes up alone in this empty room in the middle of the night, surrounded by silence. Han Lin thinks deeply about that dream, and feels as if there is some invisible giant lurking around him. He involuntarily tightens the iron whip on the bedside.

The next day the bell rang at 6 o'clock. Han Linshen couldn't wait to knock on Mu Lin's door, and lifted up the sleeping soundly Mu Lin from the bed: "Uncle Mu Shi, you have to teach that county magistrate a lesson for me."

He elaborated on Lu Jiu'an's evil deeds . Read it again.

Mu Lin had a bad temper when someone disturbed her dream, but she didn't dare to get angry at the little ancestor. She turned over and asked, "Why do you have to abandon the near and seek the far away? Why don't you just go to your father?"

Han Linshen was choked. He wanted to, but his father was obsessed with Lu Jiu'an and no longer wanted him as his son.

Han Linshen sat on the edge of the bed, as if he would not leave unless Mu Lin agreed. Mu Lin refused bluntly: "Uncle Shi, I can't help you. Lu Jiuan will retaliate for his anger. I don't dare to provoke him easily. Besides, there is Han Zhi who can help you now." He escorted me, so you just admit your mistake and surrender to him."

Han Linshen was so willing, he gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "If I bow my head and admit my mistake, wouldn't I just fall into his scheme, and he will definitely laugh at me secretly? "

"Lu Jiu'an is a gentleman and would not do such a thing." Mu Lin comforted her, but in her heart she was sure that this was what Lu Jiu'an would do. "He has a lot of fun things in his hands. Wu Shi, listen to your uncle Mu Shi, you won't suffer a loss..."

Mu Lin felt like the old lady of his Han family, worrying about the big one and the small one. No matter how hard it was, Han Linshen refused to listen. Mu Lin's patience was exhausted, so she shrunk under the covers and decided to sleep.

Lu Jiu'an naturally had no way of knowing that Han Linshen was so frightened that he had nightmares. In fact, he couldn't care about other things now because Ying Ping had gone through many hardships and finally had a great harvest.

First, Shen Zhi asked someone to report that the nine points of land should have unprecedented yields. Lu Jiu'an immediately went to guard the harvest.

Those rice grains are full, golden and heavy on the ears, exuding an intoxicating and joyful fragrance.

"Hurry! Harvest!"

The 9-point field is almost 600 square meters. More than a dozen people worked together in full enthusiasm. Cutting, threshing, and weighing were completed in less than two hours.

In the final analysis, the three-point field grown according to Shen Zhi's method produced more than 80 kilograms of grain, which was almost the same as his answer during the interview that day; the three-point field grown according to the method in the agricultural science book given by Lu Jiuan There are more than 130 kilograms of grain, and the land that Shen Zhi planted based on his own experience and the methods in the book actually produced 160 kilograms of grain, which translates to almost 4 shi per acre. Compared with his own method Doubled!

The fingers of the Ministry of Household official who took the reading were trembling and his breathing was rapid. If the people of Yingping had this kind of output...

Lu Jiuan was equally happy, but what made him even more excited was what happened later. Shen Zhi used a wooden board to present a rice plant that had not yet been threshed. , Lu Jiuan's eyes widened, he held his breath, and even softened his voice: "This is the Jiahe plant, is it really one crop with nine ears?"

Shen Zhi's voice was choked: "Sir, it's not one crop with nine ears. It's a grain of rice with thirteen ears!"

After accidentally discovering the rice seedling that seemed to have nine ears of rice that day, Shen Zhi was so excited that he couldn't sleep. On a whim, he carefully searched for the rice seedlings one by one. In the end, the rice seedling with nine ears of rice failed. Instead, I found this Jiahe plant with thirteen ears.

Thirteen ears! Shen Zhi has been planting it all his life. He has never seen it or even heard of it. After growing this thirteen-ear plant, Shen Zhi felt that he would have no regrets even if he died.

The official suddenly screamed out. He took a few steps to take a closer look. His eyebrows were raised and his beard was raised. This Jiahe plant was born in such a good place!

Not only are there many ears on the rice seedlings, but the grains on the ears are densely packed together. A rough count shows that there are one hundred and fifty grains of rice in one ear. If the empty shells are not counted, there are almost two thousand grains in this plant...

" Sir, these growing crops, huge crops, and auspicious crops are signs of good fortune for the Great Zhou Dynasty. You should report it to the imperial court!"

Chapter 086

The report must be reported, but there has never been a Thirteen-Ear Harvest in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If this report is published, it will definitely cause an uproar, and trouble will ensue.

Lu Jiu'an has not forgotten how the original owner was demoted to Yingping County, Jiangzhou.

"Jiu'an, what are you hesitating about?" Han Zhi leaned closer and asked quietly.

Lu Jiu'an sighed: "I'll report it to Jiangzhou Mansion first."

Reporting to Jiangzhou Mansion is different from reporting it directly to the court. If he were to cross Jiangzhou and be sent directly to Shanxi Province, he would completely exclude Jiangzhou Prefecture and might even offend his superiors. However, if he reported it to Jiangzhou Prefecture, anyone who knew a little bit about officialdom would understand that Lu Jiuan's move was equivalent to giving away his achievements in vain, and he didn't know whose hands it would fall into in the end.

The official didn't know the twists and turns, and hurriedly advised: "No, sir, if you do this, aren't you making a wedding dress for others?"

Seeing that Ying Ping was getting better day by day, and he got such a good opportunity to become famous all over the world. , Why did Mr. Lu retreat instead? He is so confused.

"The big tree attracts the wind." Lu Jiuan shook his head.

The officials were dejected, and the fiery mood just now disappeared. Shen Zhi picked up the wooden cover and carefully put away Jiahe.

The news was quickly delivered to Jiangzhou Mansion. After the disappearance of military rations, Jiangzhou was purged from the inside out. The previous magistrate of Jiangzhou, Zeng Wei, was imprisoned in Dali Temple, and the new magistrate was replaced by Yu Huai, a cabinet minister.

The superiors quickly sent people down, but they were not Yu Huai's men, but a group of garrison troops. They usually managed the general affairs of the army, military pay, military rations and other duties, and were under the jurisdiction of the admiral and governor.

This group of garrison troops responsible for escorting Jiahe obeyed the governor's instructions and were dressed low-key and well-trained. They were only slightly startled when they passed the cement road and entered the county government office without squinting. After arriving at the house, they did not exchange too many greetings. Their goal was clear and they only wanted to take Jiahe.

Lu Jiu'an took out a rectangular brocade box. The brocade box was covered with two thick layers of silk and satin, and the rice ears were properly fixed with silver wire to prevent damage due to bumps on the road.

The officials in the Ministry of Finance looked at the brocade box with a painful expression on their faces as they looked at the brocade box and sighed.

Seeing that the brocade box had touched the fingertips of the person in front, Han Zhi suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"General Han..." The garrison was stunned when they saw him. They retracted their outstretched hands and bowed in salute.

The general judge may not have recognized him that day, but the garrison often dealt with military supplies and recognized him at a glance. However, because Han Zhi came to Yingping without making much publicity, not many people knew that he was staying in Yingping.

Han Zhi took out a jade pendant from his arms. The jade pendant was green in color and shiny, with a complex pattern embossed with the word "Han" with flying dragons and phoenixes.

Han Zhi put the jade pendant on the brocade box and pushed it into the arms of the garrison. He pressed the opponent's shoulders and exerted slight force, so that the garrison couldn't move.

"Tell the governor to pass along my jade pendant."

The garrison froze in embarrassment.

On the brocade box hangs the jade token of General Han, which is equivalent to telling everyone clearly that the achievements of Yingping's Jiahe plant are guaranteed by General Han, and no one is allowed to touch it.

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the governor and the people behind him were trying to draw water from a bamboo basket?

"What's wrong? Is it hot?"

Han Zhi's tone was cold, and he made it clear that he wanted to intervene in this matter. The garrison knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and no matter how they tried, it would be in vain. I don't know how this small county magistrate of Yingping got acquainted with General Han who guarded the border, and actually got his favor.

Guards sentence left quickly with the brocade box in his arms.

"Han Zhi, I..." Lu Jiuan's eyes were complicated and very moved.

Han Zhi turned around and patted his lower back gently: "Now that the governor is taking the lead, there is no need to worry about Jiu'an."

Speaking of which, the governor was indeed unlucky. If Han Zhi had not been there, he would have taken possession of the Jiahe plant. If you have it for yourself, Ying Ping will not be mentioned at all in the court, so how can there be anything going on in this small county. It's a pity that General Han is not only here, but also willing to vouch for Lu Jiu'an, letting the governor be the one who takes the lead, attracting most of the attention, while Lu Jiu'an hides behind and takes advantage of An An.

The official farmland has a good harvest, and the common people's farmland is no less generous. Standing at the gate of the county town and looking over, as far as the eye can see, there are vast waves of rice undulating in the wind.

"Yingping suffered from disasters every year, and the people were in dire straits. Now the hardships have finally come to an end." The clerk from the Ministry of Household Affairs sighed, stroking his long beard.

That's right, the people coming and going carry farm tools on their shoulders. There are local indigenous people in Yingping, and there are also people who just settled in Yingping last year. Without exception, they all have satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Let's go to the countryside and feel the joy of the people." Lu Jiu'an took two steps and suddenly stopped, "Let Han Linshen have a day off today. He doesn't have to clean the trash cans. Let him come with us."

Han Linshen only thought of Lu Jiu'an. Conscience realized that he had a rare free day, and as soon as he lost the broom, he wanted to run away.

Lu Qi, who came to deliver the message, was two heads taller than him. He stretched out his hand and easily grabbed his collar: "My lord just said you don't need to clean anymore, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Come with me to see my lord."

Han Linshen's biography Han Zhi was not something Lu Qi could easily subdue. Han Linshen broke free from Lu Qi's hands with a clever move: "I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just wait for them to come back in the house."

" If you don't go, you won't have anything to eat."

...

After Lu Qi arrived with the awkward Han Linshen, Lu Jiu'an ordered them to set off towards Mintian, which was a little further away.

Autumn is a time when God is moody. The sun may be shining brightly one moment, and it may be pouring rain the next. Therefore, farmers must rush to get food home as soon as possible before the weather changes. Farmers are busy working in the fields and countryside.

Lu Jiu'an led everyone to sit on the ground in front of a dense camphor tree. The view here was wide, and the scenery for several miles around could be seen.

"Han Linshen, did you know." Lu Jiu'an said with a weed in his mouth: "The rice you threw out that day was grown by them. They have to go through sowing, raising seedlings, transplanting rice, catching insects, and only in the end can they carry it. It takes wind, rain and drought to mature. If any step is not done well, most of the hard work will be wasted."

Han Linshen picked up a leaf and played with it, his expression unclear.

The farmers in the field cooperated in the division of labor. Some of them bent down to cut the grains and piled them neatly aside. The other group pushed the threshing wooden utensils in the direction of the stack. The threshing wooden utensils were square, like an overturned cabinet. Big and bulky.

After pushing it to the corresponding place, the farmer grabbed the rice seedlings and kept hitting the inside of the wooden tool. The millet fell off the ears and fell inside. Finally, it was shoveled into a bamboo basket aside to complete the harvest.

Lu Jiu'an asked, "How about it? Do you think it's harder to train with your father, Zhifeng Muyu, or to harvest millet in the fields?"

Han Lin took a deep look at Han Zhi, who was sitting next to Lu Jiu'an with a golden sword and a big horse, his face expressionless. expression.

"What's so difficult about just cutting the grain? It doesn't take much effort." Han Linshen muttered in a low voice.

Lu Jiu'an pulled out the chewed weeds in his mouth and stuffed another one into his mouth: "It just so happens that you have so much brute strength that you can't use it anywhere. How about this, Han Linshen, I'll give you a chance today. You go down and follow me." Try this, if they don't take a break, you won't take a break. If you can hold on until 6pm today, I won't let you clean the trash cans. How about I give you free meals from now on?"

Han Linshen clenched his fists involuntarily. " Are you serious?"

"I keep my word, and your father is here to bear witness."

The two of them bumped their fists and made a simple agreement.

Han Linshen was cutting rice under the huge sun above his head, while Lu Jiu'an and his party sat under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness. Han Linshen continued working after eating, while Lu Jiu'an and others closed their eyes to rest. When they opened their eyes, Han Linshen changed his position from cutting grain to removing ears. He peeled off his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and raised his slender and strong arms high. A series of beads of sweat could be seen under the sun.

"The young general has a tough character and can even endure the harvesting of rice." A subordinate said to Han Zhi with a flattering expression.

Although he was trying to flatter him, he was telling the truth. In his early years, he had done farm work with his family, and he really had his face turned to the earth and his back to the sky. All his problems were caused during that time. Later, unless necessary, we would pay for help from neighbors with less land. Only those who have been farmers truly know what it is like.

Han Linshen also kept his word. Apart from eating and drinking, he did not stop to rest during the journey.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Han Linshen put down the farm tools in his hands. It was not until he walked in front of him that Lu Jiuan discovered that his exposed skin was densely covered with small wounds, all of which were made by sharp rice leaves.

Han Linshen looked up at him without saying a word. Lu Jiuan looked at his cheeks that were flushed by the sun. He didn't say a word of concern or asked him how he felt. He just said: "Let's go. Since you did it, I will honor my promise." Promise."

Han Linshen followed him silently.

Han Linshen was actually already hungry. When he was cooking, he habitually added two tablespoons. After thinking about it, he dug half of it. Lu Jiuan saw this and touched Han Zhi: "Fortunately it's not a piece of rotten wood." , He's still a kid to teach."

Han Linshen didn't pay attention to the small wounds on his body. When he was in the border area, he suffered various injuries. The deepest wound was on his waist and abdomen, where there is still a four-inch long ferocious wound. The scar was a minor scratch from the sharp wood that broke and flew when he was practicing boxing against a wooden stake.

What Han Linshen couldn't bear was hunger! And that thin, dense itch that is everywhere!

The fine velvet of rice sticks to the skin and penetrates along the wound.

Han Linshen felt as if his whole body was being bitten by countless ants. His face, arms, and thighs made him want to jump into the cold water immediately. It seemed that the only way to escape was to shiver in the biting ice water.

Han Linshen finished his meal quickly. He planned to carry the bucket to the backyard, where there was a well.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw two large bathtubs placed in the room. Lu Qi's voice sounded from behind: "It's only useful to wash with hot water. After washing, soak in another bucket."

Han Linshen finished taking a bath, Night had fallen, and he reached for his clothes. The muscles in his waist and abdomen were so sore that he almost lost his balance.

Harvesting grain is not as simple as he thought. He needs to bend down all the time when harvesting rice and swing his arms vigorously when threshing. After only one day of harvesting, he felt more tired than three days of training.

A tall figure was reflected on the door. Han Zhi pushed the door open with a tube of plaster. He took some clothes and threw them next to Han Linshen's bathtub, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Chapter 087

"Wipe up the water, and I'll apply some plaster on your back."

The cool light yellow mud was applied to the wound, which relieved the pain and itching to a great extent. Han Linshen was not used to Han Zhi being so straightforward. He usually just throws the ointment to him and lets him deal with it on his own.

Han Zhi applied the medicine on him and put a dry cloth on his wet hair: "This medicine was given by Magistrate Lu."

If it had been before, Han Linshen would have scolded Lu Jiuan for crying. The mouse was pretending to be merciful, but today, he seemed very tired, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.

Han Zhi added: "I don't ask you why you reject him. Master Lu should have taught you that you should know how to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and don't speculate on others based on personal preferences. Otherwise, when you employ people, you will get nothing. I hope you will be more confident tonight and be more stable tomorrow. Your father... has high hopes for you."

Han Zhi stroked the top of his hair with a generous hand, and Han Lin's eyes deepened. Raised a red.

Han Zhijin followed Lu Jiu'an's instructions, put down his majestic airs as a general, and had an in-depth and friendly father-son exchange with Han Linshen.

The lights burn quietly, making the room more warm.

Han Lin pulled his sleeves with deep nostalgia and sent Han Zhi to the outside of his bedroom. He stopped outside the door and looked at Han Zhi longingly, wanting to look back at the little girl who lay in his arms and slept with him when he was young. Deep love.

Han Zhi calmly urged him: "Go back to sleep, it's already very late."

After Han Linshen turned around and left, Han Zhi turned around and arrived outside Lu Jiu'an's house. The candles in the house had already been extinguished, and it was pitch dark. piece.

Han Zhi pushed the door open, but it didn't move at all. He sighed, and as if he had expected it, he turned over through the carved window with a slight gap.

The candles were lit, and Lu Jiu'an, neatly dressed and holding his chin, sat at the round table and said to him with a smile, "Hey, where did you come from? He broke the window and broke into the house late at night. Fortunately, I am not a young girl."

Han Zhi laughed deeply and loved his appearance so much: "Didn't you promise it yourself, Jiu'an? If Linshen and I open up and talk, you will allow me to stay here tonight."

"Yes. I do it for you. "Father and son have really worked hard." Lu Jiu'an said, "You adhere to the method of educating a filial son under the stick. I'm afraid that if your son doesn't explode in silence, he will be tortured by me in every way these days. First, let him." Zhan Weizhu gave Han Linshen a head-on blow in a field that he was proud of, and then he was fasted and forced to work. It must have been a big shock to his mood. If no one enlightened him, I was afraid that he would collapse. "

You're worrying too much." Han Zhi didn't think that Han Lin had such ambitions. He was destined to experience great storms, so how could he be hit by such a trivial setback.

Lu Jiu'an knew that Han Zhi would have this reaction. He shook his head: "Many psychological traumas are not superficial. If we cannot pay attention to them, the cracks will become bigger and bigger, and it may lead to irreparable consequences in the future.

" This is also why so many children cannot see it when they are young. As they grow older, negative effects caused by psychological reasons follow one after another, such as irritability, perverseness, depression, and unbridled rage. In severe cases, it can even lead to minor births: " Han Zhi, you can't just use scolding and belittling to stimulate their growth. Such children will have low self-esteem. You, the father, should also encourage them occasionally."

Lu Jiu'an looked serious, as if he was facing a child . As it was a major matter of his own life and death, he was moved by Lu Jiu'an's concern for Han Linshen, but also puzzled by his unfounded and worrying attitude.

If you don't understand, you still have to take your sweetheart's words as your guide. Han Zhi obeyed: "Okay, it all depends on what you say."

In fact, due to the emphasis on filial piety first, such problems are common in the Zhou Dynasty. Lu Jiu'an Although you are the magistrate of Yingping County, you cannot interfere in other people's family education and can only influence it in a subtle way.

Lu Jiu'an pushed forward the books he had prepared: "You can't just let your children study. As a father, you must also study these books carefully."

"Psychological education?" Han Zhi picked up a book and opened it. Look, this is an excerpt printed and transcribed by Lu Jiuan from his computer. It is a book about family education and psychology. It contains detailed content, such as how the emotions of being tired of studying and indifference to family come from, and how to solve them. Analyze the case.

In fact, the shadow of psychology is everywhere, both in daily life and on the battlefield.

The battle between the two armies is a psychological game between the generals of both sides. They have to figure out the other side's subsequent plans based on the unpredictable situation. Han Zhineng's repeated victories are inseparable from his outstanding military ability and accurate judgment of the enemy. Open a relationship.

Han Zhi's attainments in psychology are not low, so he can tell what's going on at a glance: "There are actually people in this world who have unified the orthodoxy of psychological exploration and analysis and compiled it into a book."

Lu Jiu'an was proud, but Not only that, psychological research has been extensively studied in later generations. In addition to thinking and emotions, there are also personality, behavioral habits, etc. Lu Jiuan was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity one day to bring out criminal psychology to Han Zhi. experience.

Lu Jiu'an thought like this and talked about his plan that was still on the backlog: "Social psychology is actually very important. In life, you will inevitably encounter various setbacks, so I plan to set up a psychological test. The psychological counseling class has been delayed because of the difficulty of finding the right person, and I don't know when it will be established.

"What kind of person are you looking for?" Han Zhi asked.

Lu Jiu'an tilted his head and thought for a while: "At least he must be open-minded and affectionate, with a sharp mind and good at analysis. Of course, the most important thing is that he must be interested in relieving other people's distress." As for how to operate professionally, you can throw the book to them, let them study and study.

It would be hard to find such a person for a while. Lu Jiuan threw it behind him and changed the topic: "In short, basic education cannot be left behind, and emotional needs cannot be ignored. How about it? After talking tonight, the old father and son have a deeper relationship. After hearing this

, Han Zhi put down the book in his hand and asked, "You think I'm old?"

"How dare you? The general is 27 years old and very strong. "

Before Han Zhi's identity was revealed, Lu Jiu'an was stared at by this look. He felt that this strong man was too bold to look directly at a court official. After Han Zhi's identity was revealed, he felt particularly uncomfortable. , how can I understand the deep meaning.

Now that he had expressed his feelings, Lu Jiuan suddenly realized that no wonder he sometimes felt dangerous because of this look. It turned out that his intuition was not wrong, and Han Zhi was harboring evil intentions for him!

Lu Jiu'an stood up and raised his finger at him: "Well done, I'll reward you."

When it comes to love, you can't always let Han Zhi take the initiative, you have to give your lover a little sweetness.

The dim candlelight flickered, showing Lu Jiu'an's graceful figure. Han Zhi leaned down and kissed her: "Tonight I will be in bed with you, Ye Yu."

Han Zhi was breathing heavily, and Lu Jiu'an was out of breath from his kiss.

His clothes were gradually removed and fell to the floor, revealing his tight honey-colored abdominal muscles. Lu Jiuan shrank into the bed, feeling that this scene seemed familiar. After thinking about it carefully, the narrow wooden bed when the two met for the first time appeared in his mind. in mind.

Lu Jiu'an has long coveted these graceful muscles. At that time, he didn't dare to look at them blatantly. Now he not only looks at them, but Lu Jiu'an is also bold enough to touch them.

"When can I have a body like this?" Lu Jiuan said with envy.

Han Zhi was moved up and down his hands, and Lu Jiuan looked at him with adoring eyes. He almost raised the flag and saluted. He blew out the candles, clasped Lu Jiuan's troubled hands on his chest, hugged him contentedly, and gave him He talked about the scenery of the frontier fortress, the life in the military camp, and the smoke and smoke of the Iron Horse Glacier battlefield where he had killed the barbarians.

A real long conversation!

"No wonder you are called the God of War. You just started fighting without saying anything. No one can avoid his sharp edge. However, your fighting style is too harmful to the body." Hou, a famous champion in history, died young. It has something to do with the way he fought. He threw away the baggage and logistics, and traveled in a hurry for days. The physical damage was too serious.

Han Zhi's heart was burning, and he rubbed Lu Jiu'an's forehead with his chin: "I fought so dangerously this time because I wanted to come back to see you early, and I knew it." He would not joke with the lives of his soldiers.

Han Zhi was very angry. After being held by him for a while, Lu Jiuan felt that the heat was unbearable. He withdrew from Han Zhi's arms and rolled to the side of the bed.

Han Zhi's arms were empty, and he stretched out his long arms and wanted to stick to him, but Lu Jiu'an sternly refused: "Don't touch me, it's too hot. You tell me what you want, and I will listen."

General Han finally fell in love with Lu Jiu'an No matter how aggrieved he was, he still knew how to give up when he was satisfied. He turned over and quietly pressed the muscles of his thighs against the fabric of the person next to the pillow before continuing to talk intermittently.

Lu Jiu'an was still able to ask a few questions with interest at first, but then his eyelids became heavier and heavier, his voice became lower and lower, and there was no reply at all.

The night was dark, and some cat on the roof stepped on the tiles lightly. Listening to his steady breathing, Han Zhi restrainedly moved closer to Lu Jiuan, until he felt Lu Jiuan's soft fur. Han Zhi's breath fell on his face before he stopped, and Han Zhi stretched out his right hand to take him into his arms.

The rice harvesting in Yingping lasted for four or five days. Lu Jiuan patrolled the countryside during the day and read the data reported by the Ministry of Household Affairs at night. He had a rough idea of ​​the people's harvest.

Due to the flood, taxes were exempted for the next two years, and the people owned all the harvest, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest!

With food in hand, I feel confident in my heart. The most intuitive feeling is that people spend a lot of money, and they can grit their teeth and pay for the clothing materials that they usually miss but are reluctant to buy.

The county town finally ushered in an endless stream of bustling scenes. As expected, only when basic survival supplies are guaranteed can the recovery of the commodity trading economy be promoted.

The market was crowded with people, and the sellers passed by with their fish baskets. The vegetable seller shouted loudly. Lu Jiuan and his four people sat down at the small stall selling wontons. He winked at Han Zhi and his son: "How about it? You haven't experienced this kind of market atmosphere."

Han Linshen was uncharacteristically reserved. He kept his hands and feet restrained. From time to time, people wearing coarse pudding cloths would pass behind him and bump into him.

Four bowls of steaming wontons were quickly served on the table. The clear soup was sprinkled with green onions, exuding a delicious flavor. The stall owner recognized Lu Jiuan's identity, so he added a few more wontons to the original portion.

Lu Jiu'an picked up the wontons and ate them, and drank all the soup boldly while holding the bowl. He sighed with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since I've eaten like this. It feels so good."

The stall owner wiped his hands and came over to ask, "Lu Jiu'an Sir, how does it taste? Are you used to it?"

Lu Jiu'an pointed to the four empty bowls on the table: "It's delicious and has endless aftertaste."

The stall owner suddenly smiled with satisfaction, and Lu Qi took it. The broken silver was placed on the table. The stall owner waved his hand and refused, refusing to take it. "Thanks to Master Lu, it's just four bowls of wontons, not worth much."

It's true that they're not worth much. Putting aside the cost, these four bowls of wontons are worth at most Only ten cents can be earned, and the stall owner earns only this meager profit in order to survive.

Lu Jiu'an dropped the broken silver and continued walking through the market, and then led them to try various street snacks.

As an outsider in this world, Lu Jiuan also tasted it for the first time. The four of them were full until the end.

"Look, only by going to the market can you feel the real living conditions and spiritual outlook of the people." Now that the people are a little wealthy, the grains they lent before will have to be taken back.

Chapter 088

Returning the grain according to the borrowed weight is far less troublesome than collecting the land tax. The more remote rural areas are collected and returned to the county government, while those near the county seat are registered and recycled by the county warehouse ambassador at the Life Plaza.

People lined up in the Life Plaza with cloth bags. Two of the shops around the square have already started decorating their storefronts and are expected to open early next year.

Judging from the preliminary information, both of them are planning to turn into restaurants and inns without exception.

"Remember to take your number plate and hand the food and number plate back to the ambassador when you return them." The yamen officer held a loudspeaker and kept walking among the crowd to guide the work.

Now that the population base of Yingping has increased, it is impossible to find them one by one in the book. In order to ensure work efficiency, Lu Jiuan came up with a method based on the fast food culture of later generations. The people will hand the number plate to the registered ambassador, and they can be in the original place. The registration of borrowing grain was cancelled, corresponding to the serial number in his debit book.

The return work is proceeding in an orderly manner, but there will inevitably be interruptions.

When it was an old woman's turn, the ambassador, who was responsible for checking the quality and weight of the grains, opened the bag, took a look at it, and then threw it to the old woman in front of him. The old woman didn't hold it steady, and the grains in the bag spilled out and fell to the floor, like a fuse. The two sides started arguing fiercely, and even Lu Jiu'an, who was sitting far away in the shop, could hear the quarrel.

"What's going on?" Lu Jiu'an stood up from his seat, and the clerk from the Ministry of Revenue followed him in fear.

When the old woman saw Lu Jiu'an, she seemed to have found a backbone. She knelt on the ground and complained: "Master Lu, this official not only refused to accept my food, but also threw it on the ground."

"Nonsense." The ambassador said angrily: " Sir, this person took the spoiled food and passed it off as good. There was absolutely no reason for us to accept it. The villain kept patiently explaining to her, but she didn't listen, so I returned it to her. And the villain didn't throw it on the ground. I can see clearly that she deliberately blocked it with her hand."

The clerk of the household department grabbed a handful from the ground and said with an ugly expression, "Sir, it's moldy."

The grain in the clerk's hand was stuck together. The outside of the chaff is speckled with white fluff, which is obviously inedible.

Lu Jiu'an also grabbed a handful from the ground and spread it out in the palm of his hand: "I won't jump to conclusions. Obviously you need to know more about food. Let the masses judge it."

The ambassador who defended himself He was very discerning. When he heard what Lu Jiuan said, he immediately walked around the team holding the moldy grains: "Folks, the grain you returned will eventually go into the county government granary. Maybe one day the granary will be opened for grain relief. It's going to go into one of your stomachs. Look, is this for people to eat?"

The people in line craned their necks to look at it: "Oh, it won't go away after eating it. It's really evil."

"It's Zhao. That old lady at home always likes to take advantage of others. Mr. Lu kindly lent us grain seeds. How can he repay this kind of grain with evil? " " The official official

has done nothing wrong. How can we receive this kind of grain?"

When Lu Jiu'an was dragged out for public execution, he lost the confidence he had at the beginning. He rolled his eyes and looked for a way out: "This corn was soaked by the rain a few days ago. I didn't pay attention to it. I'm sorry. I'll go and make up for it." The new ones are here."

"Bah, I think it's intentional. How could there be a flood of millet?" The farmers onlookers didn't buy it.

But no matter what, the old woman apologized and promised to make up for it again. The episode passed quickly, and the subsequent process went smoothly. It took a whole morning to complete the process with a long queue of people.

The county warehouse ambassador came over with the booklet: "Please take a look, Mr. Lu. This is the total amount returned this morning, a total of 640 kilograms."

Lu Jiu'an read it in silence, and almost two-thirds of the people had returned the food: "The remaining I'll look at the rest in the afternoon."

However, after a whole day, when the county warehouse ambassador returned to the county office to report on his work, he seemed particularly angry: "Sir, I'm obviously going to default on the rest. As a result, only a few people showed up, and no one was seen for most of the rest of the time."

"Wait a minute," Lu Jiu'an reassured his men, "Maybe the harvest hasn't been long yet, and the millet

can't be harvested . Immediately put it into the granary, and you also need to preliminarily screen out the debris, dry the water, and remove the empty shells before putting it in. If the water is not dried, it is likely that it will become moldy in a short time like the grain that Mrs. Zhao took today.

In this way, in the past three days, the people in each township were handing in the collected grain and booklets one after another. As expected, they were responsible for the same as those in the county. Not everyone returned the grain as agreed.

"How many kilograms of grain are there? It's just a drop in the bucket compared to this year's harvest. Are you reluctant to give it out?" The tax ambassador in charge of tax collection slapped the table at hand: "Besides, this was originally lent to Theirs should be paid back."

When they go to pay taxes, they often encounter such people who cheat and refuse to pay, so they feel the same way.

However, at that time, it was still possible to collect goods by force. Now that Mr. Lu is here, if the officials below do something to oppress the people, the people can sue the officials, so it is inevitable that they will be a bit jealous when doing things.

Lu Jiu'an thoughtfully said: "There is a good harvest this year, so we shouldn't be unable to harvest it. Have you asked why?"

Li Zheng replied: "The newly settled people have all paid it in honestly, even some whose families are not very wealthy. Their fields are barren, and although they haven't been flooded, they haven't harvested much, so they have to save money to survive until next year."

His words were serious and protective. Lu Jiuan glanced at him and knew he was here. Tell the truth.

Farmers depend on the sky for food, and the land is also crucial.

Soil is the foundation of crops. The fatness of the soil determines whether the crops grow well or not.

In addition, planting technology and grain selection are also key factors. People work hard and follow the rules passed down from their ancestors. Without innovation and improvement, no matter how high the output is, there is a limit.

However, this is not the reason for their breach of trust. Lu Jiu'an said: "One code is one code. I have found a solution to the problem of low yield and will find a time to announce it. They are just afraid that if there is no grain next year, You can borrow it when the time comes, but you still have to pay back what is due this year. This is a basic issue of integrity."

"Master Lu, you have taught me a lesson." Li Zheng was glanced over by Lu Jiu'an's calm eyes. Nodding, "It's just Mr. Lu, and one or two others are cheating and fishing in troubled waters. The younger ones don't dare to force the collection. As soon as my expression changed, these people started clamoring to sue the younger ones. You see..."

" Circle those people and tell them if they don't hand it over, you won't be able to get any of the next winter wheat seeds from the county government."

The principals took the county magistrate's documents and left, and Lu Jiu'an took Shen. Give the Zhi's planting record experience manual to Chengfa and ask them to copy out a few copies.

He was thinking about how to teach the people to increase crop yields, and Li Zheng, who had gone back to harvest more grain, came back: "The younger brother passed on Master Lu's instructions, and those who were originally worried about insufficient food were handed in, but the same few people are still cheating. I don't want to pay."

Han Zhi raised his sharp eyebrows in displeasure: "Then kill

the chicken to scare the monkeys." He has always been the kind of person who can't bear to pay off debts. It is natural for him not to cherish good opportunities. You have to force the county magistrate to establish your authority. Mr. Lu does not allow you to use coercive means. It depends on the individual. You can go back and leave this matter to the county government. "

Lu Jiu'an also strongly agreed with Han Zhi's iron-blooded methods. He was willing to provide these grains to support the people in order to encourage the people to farm, but he could not condone the growth of bad habits of dishonesty.

So that afternoon, while those old guys were still lying at home and enjoying themselves, a group of tall and fierce government officials broke in. Each of these officials held a majestic police dog in their hands and stared at the people in the house eagerly.

The surrounding neighbors had already gathered around after hearing the commotion, including many new residents who had just settled in.

"What are you doing?" the old man shouted with a fierce look.

"If you don't hand over the food, we have to come and get it ourselves." Zhao Laosan waved his hand, and two or three of his colleagues immediately came up and pushed the people in the room to the ground. The rest of them rushed to the place where the food was stored with clear goals. The weight registered in the book on that day was the same amount of millet.

"I'm going to Mr. Lu to sue you for plundering people's wealth and money." The old man who was let go cursed angrily.

"Shut up. What did you do to yourself, you scoundrel, and you have the nerve to sue Brother Guancha?" said Li Zheng, who hurried over.

Zhao Laosan clasped his fists and saluted the onlookers, and then unfolded the official document to show to the public: "Everyone, you can see clearly, this is the seal of Mr. Lu. This person borrowed grain seeds that day and refused to return them. After repeated advice to no avail, I just came to pick it up. Mr. Lu said that he will never tolerate this kind of treacherous behavior. In addition to forcibly confiscating illegal property, a notice will be posted at the gate of the county tomorrow to announce the criticism."

The fearful eyes of the people suddenly changed, and they all sneered. He looked at Lao Lai.

After Zhao Laosan finished explaining, he ignored everyone's reactions and set off to the next house.

The next day, people who got the news and came to see the excitement gathered around the gate of the county town. As expected, several notices were posted on the wall. However, they found that in addition to the severe reprimands for a few people, there were also other things they couldn't understand.

What is a credit report?

A voice in the crowd explained: "The notice said that Yingping will set up a credit register starting today. If someone breaks their trust or violates the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the person's credit score will be deducted, and those with a score lower than a certain level will be included in the list. Blacklisted, loses the qualifications for some policies of Yingping County. "

"What qualifications?"

The man followed the notice and said: "You will lose the free grain loans provided by Yingping, your children's three-year compulsory education, medical reimbursement, etc."

Oops!

The people are clamoring. These are some policies that are related to interests and benefit the people. Most of them are good and law-abiding people, and now they will not lose the big because of the small. The rare people with small thoughts are also thinking carefully. From now on, I put away those unknown lucky mentality.

In short, such a policy was supported by almost everyone in Yingping, and everyone was happy.

The Jiahe incident in the nine-point area managed by Shen Zhi was published in the daily news by Lu Qi early. However, I don't know if it was because such a fact was a rare occurrence in a century, so the people laughed it off.

Seeing is believing, they have not seen it, and of course they will not believe such baseless words.

Therefore, even the paragraph mentioned at the end of the bulletin that planting experience and technology will be shared and announced later did not attract many people's attention.

After reading the daily news, they still have a lot of things to do, and farmers are the worst at it.

The straw in the fields is ready for firewood. They have to take it home and pile it into a haystack in the yard.

The rice roots in the field need to be thrown out, the field must be plowed and leveled again, and the ditches must be dredged and drained, because winter wheat will be planted next, and wheat is afraid of water. These things must be done in advance, otherwise the sowing time will be delayed. Will affect next year's production.

As the county magistrate, Lu Jiu'an is also busy. Fortunately, he has trained some talents who can solve his problems.

Lu Jiu'an handed the plump winter wheat seeds to Shen Zhi: "This year you will still plant 9 points of land according to the previous method, but I will arrange a group of people to follow you to learn from the experience. If they don't understand anything, ask I hope you can explain it to me. When winter wheat is successfully planted, these people will need to go to the countryside to teach."

Shen Zhi planted Jiahe this year, and Lu Jiuan allocated 20 taels of silver from the accounting room as a reward. , if it reaches the imperial court, there may be even more generous rewards by then.

Shen Zhi now has no complaints about working with Lu Jiu'an and does everything he says.

In an inconspicuous yard in Wujin County next door, a salesman pulled a cart full of goods to say goodbye to his family and set out on his way to a neighboring county for trading...

Chapter 089

The salesman's surname is Zhao. He was originally a poor man from Wujin County. When he was young, by some strange combination of circumstances, he went deep into Taotie Mountain, where no one dared to enter, and got a ginseng plant of good quality. He sold it in a county drugstore and earned a considerable amount of subsidies.

This huge amount was more than the whole family had worked hard for a whole year. Later, the salesman Zhao had the courage to go in a few more times. After going back and forth, he actually accumulated a rich family fortune.

It seems that he was greedy and unlucky. The last time he went to Taotie Mountain, he encountered a crazy wild boar and was gored so hard that he almost lost half his life. One of his legs became lame at that time.

Later, Mr. Zhao gave up the idea of ​​going into the mountains, otherwise he would lose his life even if he made money. After thinking about it, Mr. Zhao used the money to start a small business.

Salesman Zhao had no idea how to do business. Fortunately, he got the support of his parents, and he did make a small amount of money at first. However, as natural disasters and floods continued, there were fewer people willing to spend money. Salesman Zhao stopped for several years, and it was not until this year that he restart.

These days in Jiangzhou, everything is in full swing. Few people go out far. There are shadows on the road, and the tall trees are swaying in the wind. It is not easy to see a middle-aged scholar wearing a square cap with melon skin. .

The salesman Zhao finally found a companion to relieve his loneliness: "Where is this brother going? If we are on the way, let's be companions together."

The Confucian scholar said: "I'm going to Dianyang."

From Wujin to Dianyang, you have to pass through Yingping , that's the way to go.

When the two met for the first time, neither of them were dull people, and they started talking in just a few words.

It turned out that this Confucian scholar had always failed the child test, so he simply set up a stall under a big tree at the city gate and became a storyteller. As time passed, he became a household name in Yunnan.

This visit to Wujin is just to visit relatives.

The salesman Zhao and the storyteller walked along the official road talking and laughing for two days. During the day they were on the road, and at night they found a simple place to stay, and they traveled smoothly all the way.

The storyteller sighed: "Fortunately, General Han led the Snowy Army to sweep away the mountain bandits in Jiangzhou last year. The bandits in the past few years were so rampant that ordinary people did not dare to walk alone on the road."

After passing a fork in the road, At that time, I suddenly saw a sign erected in front of one of the roads, which read: The road ahead is under construction, please take a detour.

"Hey, they're building a road." The salesman Zhao said in confusion, and set off on another road with the storyteller, "I wonder if this road is far around?" If it's too far, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the county seat before dark.

"I don't know either."

Mr. Zhao became even more confused: "Didn't you come from Dianyang before?"

The storyteller said, "You had never been to Yingping when you came here."

The two of them walked not long when they suddenly saw the official road at their feet. It has changed. It used to be a rough muddy road, but now it has turned into a white road. It is hard. It is not accurate to say that it is paved with bluestone. The surface is flat and smooth, as if using a knife from a huge rock mountain. Made by splitting.

The storyteller was sitting on the carriage pulled by Merchant Zhao. He thought it would take him half a day to travel, but it took him less than an hour to see the county seat.

"What a big change..." Mr. Zhao looked like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city, looking at the newly built buildings rising up in Yingping with his mouth wide open: "There are so many houses built outside the county. Build a market? "

Especially the tall tower that is more than ten feet high. I don't know what it is used for, standing in the middle of the circular market.

"Bell Tower!" The storyteller was well-informed and pointed to the words engraved on the building: "It looks like a sundial, it should be used for timekeeping."

There are four houses with similar shapes around the market, and people come and go in the market. In the past, there was an endless stream, and everyone was thriving, as if the terrible disaster had not happened to Yingping. It was many times better than Wujin.

The two of them walked around the market in amazement, and soon came to the leisure area, where a group of people gathered around, playing cricket, playing chess, and chatting about guessing games.

"What are you guys looking at in a crowd?" Salesman Zhao squeezed his way into the crowd.

Not a single Confucian scholar looked back: "Look at the daily news. Today's local news is interesting. It's just that Mu Lin's travel notes have not been updated, which is a pity."

The storyteller read ten lines at a glance, pointed to the news and was surprised: "This news or something ? Every day?" The Confucian scholar replied: "

Why else would it be called Daily News instead of Monthly News? He interrupted and said impatiently: "Is this the first time you've read it?" The storyteller: "..." It's indeed the first time he's read it. It's because he is ignorant. The storyteller lowered his attitude: "I am from Yunnan. I haven't been to Yingping for a long time. I am presumptuous enough to ask Haihan." Then the Confucian scholar turned back and looked at him: "You are from another county? No wonder." The Confucian scholar boasted. Haolai sells daily news as if he is the chief writer of the news: "...it is run by the government. I heard that a special news agency will be set up in the future. Lu Changsui will be the editor-in-chief. He will also have to recruit people who are sensitive to news. We will be sent to other counties for interviews. By then we will not only have local news, but also foreign news." "This is the true scholar who knows the world without going out." The storyteller is very passionate. This is obviously what he wants every day. The difference is that the news is made of paper, while he used a clever mouth to hold a folding fan in the teahouse. And the interview, how to interview? Once these questions arise, they are like a stone falling on his heart, neither rising nor falling. Shopkeeper Zhao read it with great interest and pulled him away from the crowd; "Let's go to the county town to find food first." The market had obviously just been completed. I heard that it would be expanded around the Life Plaza in the future. Shopkeeper Zhao could imagine what would happen if When the shop owner checks in, the shops are open to welcome customers, and it must be a busy place. The old Yingping County town has not changed much, except that it has begun to put up lights and colorful decorations in preparation for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. It is not known when Wujin will regain such vitality. Merchant Zhao quickly followed his memory to find Nanjie Alley and sat down in front of a stall. "Store, please bring two bowls of wontons and two plates of meat." The storyteller chewed slowly. Mr. Zhao finished quickly. He wiped his mouth and said, "You eat slowly, and I'll go around." The storyteller ate . Before finishing, the salesman Zhao happened to come back. He smiled mysteriously at the storyteller: "Brother, guess who I just met?" The storyteller was curious: "Magistrate Yingping?" "How could Magistrate Yingping be so good? Good luck." Mr. Zhao waved his hand and said, "I met a fellow countryman of mine. He escaped from the flood last year and never returned. I thought that his family was in trouble, but I didn't expect that he was here last year. Ying Ping. Not only did he open up land here, but he also got married. Isn't it amazing that this person's life is uncertain? From what I learned, he was indeed a salesman who had been doing business for many years. He had learned everything about what had happened to Ying Ping in the past year. "The new county magistrate in Yingping is a prostitute..." "The county school has been opened, and both men and women who meet the requirements can enter the school without tuition fees..." "The smooth road we walked on is called the cement road, and we can see the bell tower. It is indeed used for timekeeping. It tells the time on time every day..." "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county magistrate will give lectures at the county school..."

The salesman Zhao became more and more excited as he talked, and the two of them walked to the gate of the West City. The storyteller parted ways with him: "I won't stay here any longer. If I don't come back too late, my family will be worried."

"Hey, take care along the way. See you later. "Seller Zhao regretted saying goodbye to him.

After the storyteller left, Merchant Zhao walked around the busy market, saw all the new things, and was ready to catch the goods. At this time, he suddenly found that a lot of goods on the carriage were missing.

There was a thief on the street!

This was the first reaction of Mr. Zhao.

He looked around and saw a well-dressed man running furtively into the distance.

Merchant Zhao immediately shouted: "Stop! It's been stolen!"

He was pulling a cart of goods, and people were coming and going on the street. It was difficult to walk. The thief dodged left and right, and his figure quickly disappeared among the crowd.

The crowd was pushed around by him, and screams came and went: "You've been hit by a thousand cuts, oh, you stepped on my foot..."

Merchant Zhao apologized and chased after him, sweating profusely.

"Yingping Market, who is making trouble here!" A strong and powerful voice suddenly came from the crowd.

The salesman Zhao turned around and saw the person coming. His face turned pale with fright and he stammered: "This official, it's not me who caused the trouble. The thieves took away my goods."

This official has a tiger's head on his forehead, big arms and a round waist, and is very bluffing. Very, not to mention that there was a big and vicious dog following closely at his feet. He was deeply afraid of making the other party unhappy, so he gave the order and became the vicious dog's meal.

"In broad daylight, you dare to steal in the place where I patrol." Zhao Laosan clenched his fists. He touched Shi Shi's ears and said only one word: "Come on."

Shi Shi was trembling with fear at the shopkeeper Zhao . Under the glare, he came close to him and sniffed, then circled around the carriage containing the goods, and then spread out his limbs and ran into the crowd as fast as lightning, Zhao Laosan followed closely, and his speed was not low.

After one man and one dog left, Mr. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He looked around and saw that the crowd was not afraid, but they also comforted him: "Don't be afraid of police dogs that don't bite people. He specializes in treating bad people." "

Today ." It's a worthwhile trip to see Shi Fifteen's grace."

"I heard that the magistrate's grain is even more powerful."

"I will definitely write about this in tomorrow's news. I've already thought about the title of the news. Running for ten miles to chase the thief! "

Everyone said to the crowd, as if they already knew the outcome.

The incident happened suddenly and ended quickly. Zhao Laosan pushed aside the crowd and pulled a big man with a stern look in front of him: "What did you take from someone else? Give it back." The

big man hesitated and didn't answer. Zhao Laosan saw at a glance that the big man was pregnant. He stretched out his hand to grab the goods in the bag: "Why is there only one item? What else is there?"

The big man frowned: "It broke when I ran away."

"Then pay for

it." "I have no money."

"I can't live a good life. Why do you come out to do some sneaky things?" The people onlookers gritted their teeth and gave Zhao Guolang advice, "Go to the county government to sue him."

Zhao Guolang was a little hesitant. He was away from home and didn't want to cause trouble. Besides, he was from Wujin County. Yes, will the county magistrate of Yingping make the decision for him?

"Don't be afraid." As if they knew his worries, the people patted his shoulders and said, "Our County Magistrate Lu is an upright and honest official. He will definitely make the decision for you." "

Let's go." Zhao Laosan said. Fifteen tied on the traction rope: "Today is the perfect time to announce."

Chapter 090

In the county government study room, the clerks in the official, household, ritual, criminal, military, and engineering rooms stood with their hands down and summarized their work one by one.

"...As of the end of August, the total population of Yingping has reached 31,764, with youth accounting for 48.85%, elderly accounting for 27.26%, and children accounting for 23.89%." The Ministry of Personnel reported the population base of Yingping.

Since everyone in the yamen learned arithmetic, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, according to Lu Jiu'an's office habits, the previous long and complicated speeches were abolished and replaced with such clear data.

Everyone only needs to listen to these numbers to intuitively feel that the population has increased by more than 10,000 compared to when Lu Jiuan first came to Yingping. The proportions of each age group can also be seen at a glance.

"In addition." The clerk of the Ministry of Personnel continued to add: "Since the implementation of the talent settlement policy, new talents have signed up for assessment every month. Currently, there are 76 people in total, 28 are scholars, and the rest..."

The Ministry of Personnel After the report, make the final conclusion.

"Wait a minute." Lu Jiu'an raised his hand to interrupt him: "Include those bandits as well."

The clerk was stunned, and Lu Jiu'an said: "They have completed their transformation, and those who are willing to stay and work in the cement factory will be paid. , If you want to go back to open up land and farm, please register in the fish scale register and go and stay as you wish."

After the official report, the other houses followed suit. For more than a year, each of the six houses performed their own duties and had a heavy workload. , when each room reports, they can list specific examples they have been responsible for in the past year.

The Ministry of Industry has a lot of official duties, and everyone in the department is like a spinning top: "... A total of 16 kilometers of cement roads should be laid in the north and south directions. After the holiday, preparations will be made to dredge ditches and build water trucks to strive for success. The plan will be released in October and completed in December. "

The dredging project is huge, and the people of the whole county will definitely be involved.

The Water Resources Department took out a roll of drawings from the paper tube and spread them out on a large and flat drawing table in the study room. This person was recommended by the scribes of the Ministry of Industry. He is not very young, and he can produce a drawing so quickly, which shows that he has outstanding ability.

The lines on the drawing are of varying thicknesses and are intricate, like a torn spider web. The Department of Water Resources raised his sleeves and pointed at the symbols on the drawing to explain to everyone: "This is a drawing made by the official after he surveyed the terrain and canals. It is recommended that "These are the places where waterwheels are to be built."

The places pointed by the Water Conservancy Department are marked with triangles, which is easy for a layman like Lu Jiu'an to understand.

"The canal has not been dredged for a long time, and the silt has accumulated and the drainage is slow. According to the previous route, some places are not reasonable, and it is easy to cause water backflow in the ditch. Therefore, the canal route needs to be changed." The voice of the Water Resources Department was unhurried. : "The dredging work can be put on the agenda, and the relocation needs to be studied before a specific plan can be given."

After speaking, the Water Conservancy Department withdrew. Lu Jiuan recognized him very much, and even looked at him differently.

Right, the Ministry of Industry is all about hard work and practicality. Unlike civil servants who rely on eloquence, they are either a mule or a horse. You can tell the level of ability by pulling them around. Young talents like the current Water Conservancy Department should have more opportunities to perform like this, so as not to always have a group of people sitting idle.

Lu Jiu'an turned to the Secretary of the Ministry of Works: "The expansion of the county school is also on the agenda. It is not appropriate to let those scholars and students live in the same room."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Works was stunned: "So soon? According to the current situation of the county school "Is it necessary to expand the area?"

"It doesn't count as an expansion. Build a new piece of land and make it bigger once and for all." Lu Jiu'an gestured with his hands: "Especially the playground, which is too small for the students to move around. "

When Lu Jiu'an first implemented the broadcast gymnastics, the students just moved their hands and feet on the spot and could not achieve the effect he wanted at all.

Not to mention that he plans to hold an annual garden party and sports meeting in the future... he can't just take them all out and put them in the open-air stadium that the government officials only spent a few days crudely building.

This summary meeting was just Lu Jiuan's impromptu initiative. He just wanted to let his subordinates know that God rewards hard work after a good harvest, and that their efforts in the past year were not in vain.

The effect of the conference is also very obvious, because according to the report of Liufang Shuli, whether it is the population base, wasteland reclamation, infrastructure, or crop production, there has been a linear increase.

It feels like planting a tree, watering it and fertilizing it, and just not paying attention for a moment, it blooms and bears fruit.

"With the labor force, we will allocate some funds to support the dying infrastructure and entities in Yingping, stimulate upstream and downstream supply and demand, and the real economy will expand production, stimulate labor demand, and the economy will pick up, driving the injection of assets from other counties, further stimulating the labor force, and forming a virtuous cycle... ..." This was Lu Jiuan's initial consideration.

After the conference, everyone felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood and left in high spirits, holding notebooks full of notes.

"Sir." Zhao Laosan knocked on the door of the study: "Someone is filing a complaint."

Today is the day of filing the complaint. Lu Jiu'an said he understood: "Wait in the lobby first, then come."

Ying Ping's case file was also turned over Quite a bit. In such a small place, there are usually no particularly big cases. After he improved the public security, even violent fights rarely happened, and it was possible that they were not reported to him.

Lu Jiu'an glanced at Han Linshen, who was not leaving, and said, "Kid, why are you following me?" He had been sitting quietly beside him during the meeting just now, looking completely different from before.

Han Linshen looked at his toes, his expression a little unnatural: "My father asked me to learn more from you."

"I'm not your teacher, what can you learn from me?" Lu Jiu'an stood up, took the official hat on the side, and "If you want to study, go to the county school. There are special teachers there."

Han Linshen had seen Yingping's county school from a distance. It was different from what he remembered. He did not answer Lu Jiu'an's question because even he himself did not Knowing what he wanted to learn from Lu Jiu'an, Han Zhi didn't tell him.

"As time goes by, you will naturally understand." Han Zhi just said.

Han Lin's dark eyes looked at Lu Jiu'an. Without that unruly look, he looked like a little black dog waiting to be petted.

...

"I'm going to try the case now." Lu Jiu'an took out the Rubik's Cube from the drawer and gave it to Han Linshen, "You can play with it first."

In the county government lobby, Lu Jiu'an sat in front of the case and listened to the salesman Zhao telling the ins and outs of the matter. , the case is very simple, it is a theft case involving compensation.

"Are you a salesman from Wujin?" Lu Jiu'an asked specifically.

When the salesman Zhao heard what he said and saw the unclear look on the young county magistrate's face, he immediately regretted it. He replied uneasily, "I just arrived in Yingping today to catch up on the goods."

"Salesman Zhao must have traveled a lot." Lu Jiu An knocked on the table and asked casually, as if chatting about family matters.

The people whispered that Meng Yitai played drums that day to express his grievances. Magistrate Lu also spoke to the woman in the same manner, but in the end he beat his son sixty times.

The meaning behind the words seemed to confirm that Lu Jiuan's gentle questioning at this moment would eventually turn into a bloody killing stick.

Mr. Zhao was so close that when he heard these words, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He tried hard to remember the places where he would go to sell goods and tell them in detail.

"I asked casually, it's not your fault, you don't need to worry." Lu Jiu'an reassured him: "The defendant violated your property, was immoral, and committed the crime of theft. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, he will be beaten for thirty years, and he will be compensated according to the price." The

thief was very worried. After almost being pulled down for thirty strokes, the big stone in Zhao Shoulang's heart finally fell to the ground.

After the thief was beaten, he gritted his teeth and still said that he had no money.

Lu Jiu'an's expression did not change: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can work for two days, but you have to stay for a few more days. You are Wu Jinlai's guest. You were robbed in Yingping County. You are under my administration." "It's not strict. This is the first time since I took office. The expenses for your stay and meals these days will be borne by our county government."

Zhao Guolang was a blessing in disguise. When he stepped out of the county government office, he couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but look back and saw that the handsome Yingping County Magistrate had already stood up, and the people around him were clapping and applauding.

Lu Jiuan turned a corner and saw Han Linshen hiding behind the pillar. He raised the Rubik's Cube in his hand to show Lu Jiuan that one side had been repaired.

"Wrong." Lu Jiu'an could tell at a glance, "Have you heard the case handling process?"

Han Linshen nodded and disrupted the Rubik's Cube without hesitation. He held it in for a while and asked out his doubts: "Why? Let Mr. Zhao stay for a few more days. "

If the thief pays the bill with work, the county government can obviously pay the compensation first, so that there is no need to pay the subsequent expenses in vain.

Even he could see how Lu Jiuan could do it in such an obviously clumsy and disadvantageous way.

Lu Jiu'an tapped Lu Qi with his chin: "Brother, answer him."

If this question was asked a year ago, Lu Qi might not have been able to answer it, and maybe like others, he would have thought that Lu Jiu'an was just out of touch. For that heart of benevolence. But after this year, Lu Qi understood that the adults in his family should not just take his actions at face value, but had to think carefully before he could understand his true intentions.

"Zhao Merchant has a wide footprint, covering all corners of Jiangzhou." Lu Qi slowly speculated on Lu Jiu'an's thoughts: "He is a businessman and deals with different people every day. A lot of news is passed on by word of mouth through them. Your Excellency wants Zhao Merchant. To do publicity, let him know more about Ying Ping."

Han Linshen asked realistically, "Ying Ping is poor and useless, so what can he do if he publicizes it?"

Lu Qi sighed seriously, imitating Lu Jiu'an . He sighed and said, "You can't teach a child. Let me ask you, you should know what Ying Ping will do next, right?"

Han Linshen was unsure: "Build a canal? Build a school?"

"That's right!" Lu Qi said, "Where are the manpower? Come?"

Han Linshen suddenly realized.

Lu Qi added: "Master Lu wants to recruit workers from other counties. These workers are long-term workers and they have to find a place to eat, drink and sleep. Don't those bartenders and inns become popular? If they come and go, Yingping's economy will also be revitalized." "?" Lu Qi applied what he had learned and used the words that Lu Jiu'an often whispered in his ears.

"Full marks." Lu Jiu'an raised his hand in approval and turned to look at Han Linshen: "Have you learned it?"

Han Linshen seemed to understand and nodded confusedly.

On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Zhao received the compensation for the goods sent by the county government. The sweet scent of osmanthus floats in the streets of Yingping, and mooncakes are put out at pastry shops. After thinking about it, Mr. Zhao thought for a while that he was not in a hurry to go back to celebrate the festival anyway, so he might as well just wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yingping before setting off, which would only last a day or two.

On August 15th, the full moon shines high, and the streets are filled with lanterns, making the living square as bright as day.

People flocked to the square one after another, lighting lanterns and admiring the moon like flowing water.

The government officials patrolled the surrounding areas with police dogs, always alert for possible emergencies.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Jiu'an could not follow the example of last year and prepare mooncakes for everyone to distribute. However, he ordered someone to prepare a large mooncake of 50 inches. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he cut it into countless pieces. People in the square came Have a share.

Several children no longer know where the madman has gone.

Mu Lin drank osmanthus wine.

Lu Jiu'an took Han Zhi and asked him to guess lantern riddles with great interest.

The laughter lasted until 9 o'clock, before Lu Jiuan and others left home.

The moonlight was gentle, the shadows of the trees were slanting, and the laughter and laughter in the distance gradually disappeared.

"Jiu'an." A figure stood out from the darkness in front of the government office. It was Qin Jizhi.

Lu Jiu'an was stunned. In the morning, he sent someone to deliver Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. The boy who came back said that there were many patients in the pharmacy, and they probably wouldn't be free for the whole day. Was he finished? Or did you take time out of your busy schedule to come here?

Qin Jizhi's face showed lingering fatigue. He glanced at the intimate gestures of Lu Jiu'an and Han Zhi, and handed him the basket in his hand: "This is a gift for my father."

Lu Jiu'an took it calmly and thanked him. After saying a few more words about taking a rest, Qin Jizhi hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that you will be giving lectures at the county school after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I told my friends about this a few days ago. I don't know if they will be able to do it by then." Do you want to come and learn? "

Qin Jizhi's friend?"

ah! Lu Jiu'an remembered that Qin Jizhi mentioned before that when he gave up medicine to pursue literature, he met a group of high-talking people...

If this group of people came, the scene on the day of the lecture would be a mess.

Lu Jiuan trembled his lips in the unnoticed night, feeling that the lecture suddenly went from simple mode to hell mode!
