On 3 July, it was sunny and cloudy with southwesterly winds.

Today he left, and I returned to the bedroom of the Hou Mansion, and my heart was empty. In a trance, I seemed to see him sitting there with a smile again, and said, daughter-in-law, come and sit.

I don't know when we won't see each other across the sea again.

Next month is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Speaking of which, it has been almost three years since I came to ancient times, but I haven't had a Mid-Autumn Festival. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know if this man still remembers.

Hmph, if he doesn't remember, or doesn't have a gift for me... Then I will leave the gift I have prepared for my son, and I will not give it to him.

As soon as Li Luo left for a long time, Cui Xian came to report that the carved mother money from the bank mint had come out.

Cui Xian is going to kneel when he meets, how dare I let him kneel? Hurry up and stop him, saying that this is not the court, don't bow down to me.

This may be my ancestor's Mr. Cui, who took out four metal coins and said with a smile, Madam, please see, silver coins, as a hundred copper coins, as ten copper coins, as a copper coin, just finished carving. It's all carved mother money.

Cui Xian said that Weichen had urged them to hurry up and let Jun see the carving mother before Jun left, but it was still half a day away.

I picked up the most expensive silver coin, weighed it, and felt that it was almost one or two heavy, much larger than Yuan Datou, who weighed only seven coins. This is a silver coin of one yuan, when used as one or two silver, the material is eight bronze two, which contains more silver than Yuan Datou.

The silver coin carving is very exquisite, and it is clear that the craftsmen were not sloppy. On the back is Li Luo's relief head, which is somewhat similar to Li Luo himself.

On the obverse of the silver coin, there are four official scripts of "Tang Xing Haidong", the handwriting is very clear, and the clouds are flowing smoothly. In the middle of the four characters, there is a plum blossom pattern.

The pattern is beautiful and deep, and it is very beautiful. It may be the most beautiful gold and silver coin in the world, and the craftsmen have really worked hard.

After a few months, it was finally carved out slowly.

I looked at the big copper cake of Dangbai, which was golden and weighed one and a half pounds, just like a moon cake, which was also very exquisite.

Seeing that I was very satisfied, Cui Xian reminded, madam, this is the carving mother, so the quality is the best, but when the sand is cast out of circulation, there is no such good condition.

I said I knew, but the carving mother was so good, and the circulating money was not far behind. 10,000 silver coins will be made first, and 10,000 copper coins will be made first, and they will be circulated in a small area, so that the military and civilians will know that this is the case.

As soon as Cui Xian left, Zhang Ji from the Fisheries Department came to report again.

Madame, the fishery department has finally caught a whale, it is on the beach, like a hill, everyone says it is a good omen, please Madame go and see it.

I didn't believe it at the time, did I really hit a whale? The Fisheries Department doesn't have a whaling ship yet, so how can you catch a whale?

Zhang Ji said that we shot the whale with a bed crossbow with a spear, and the big fish sank into the sea with the spear, but was pulled by a rope.

Our boat was not small, and we were almost overturned by this beast, but we could only be pulled by it and run, so powerful, we kept pulling the boat for more than 20 miles, and then we had no strength to surface the sea, but we didn't die.

I waited until I was covered in a big net and dragged back by two boats, and I died on the beach.

After listening to Zhang Ji's words, I didn't care that it was almost dusk, so I immediately rode to the beach and saw that there were already many people around.

A big fish seven or eight feet long rested quietly on the beach, looking like a baleen whale, estimated to weigh more than 20 tons. There was also a group of fishermen from the fisheries department standing on the whales, laughing excitedly.

What a god, what a big fish. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen a whale in person.

And when they saw me, they came and bowed down together. Zhang Ji asked, madam, the sun is about to set, and the weather is hot, what should I do with this whale.

I said, clean it up now, or tomorrow it's going to stink. How to clean up the whale, the king has already told you, just follow his method.

Zhang Ji gave an order, and the fishworkers shouted and started together. The sawfish of sawfish, the stove of stove, hundreds of people all moved.

Cut the whale's fat and refine the oil to break down the fish's flesh. Although it was the first time they had done this job, it was clearly okay.

I ordered the fish to be cut into ten-pound pieces, and I ordered salt to be brought in and marinated overnight.

Although there is a lot of fish and meat, I will not give it to the army and the people, and the rewards are too frequent, which is not a good thing at all. I'm going to sell the meat and the oil.

I was busy until late, and the fishery department worked on the beach, but before it was done, only half of the whale oil was boiled out. I was worried that Yongzhou Mu was hungry, so I brought home a large piece of fresh fish.

Although the man is gone today, it is a good day!

…………

On the third day after Li Luo returned to Quanzhou, another group of displaced people were "trafficked" to the sea. This means that he will spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver again.

In the past few months, the displaced people from Fujian have been sent to Haidong in batches, and the silver from Haidong has been sent to Fujian in batches. The action was actually very big, but because the entire Fujian officialdom was involved, and the post system was leaked by Li Luo's spies, the Yuan court didn't even know about it.

On July 8, Dadu finally replied to Li Luo's recital and sent a lieutenant to herald. Kublai Khan praised him for his meritorious work in "pacifying Fujian and recovering taxes".

Kublai Khan did not promote Li Luo to the rank of official this time, but rewarded him with three hundred taels of gold and a big food horse. This horse was selected by the Ilkhanate to pay tribute to the Yuan court, and Kublai Khan used these great horses to reward his ministers and meritorious generals.

The horse that was given to Li Luo was snow-white, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, more than seven feet high at the shoulders, and the horse was abnormal, and it was very young, just an adult, and there was at least a golden riding period of more than ten years.

Although Kublai Khan did not promote Li Luo to the rank of official, the reward of this horse shows that he has great trust in Li Luo now.

But Li Luo couldn't smile bitterly, and Kublai Khan also changed his American name.

His former "American name" was called "Xiao Jiu Badu", that is, "Xiao Zhang Hongfan".

Now, a few months after Li Luo took office, he simply pacified Fujian, and returned the 1.8 million imperial taxes lost by the imperial court, which made Kublai Khan feel that the title of Xiaojiu Badu was already a little wronged by Li Luo.

So, Kublai Khan generously gave Li Luo a new nickname: Mergen Batu.

Morgen means "wise and wise" in Mongolian, and Mergen Batu means "wise and wise warrior".

Why can't Li Luo cry and laugh? Because, in later generations, there will be a "Murgen generation of youth".

So, who is the Murgen Daiqing?

is the man who cries, yells, and "Yu'er, Yu'er" all day long in the pigtail play.

The Manchu language is heavily influenced by the Mongolian language, and a large number of words are directly spoken in Mongolian, and Mergen is one of them. Therefore, Huang Taiji gave Dolgon the beautiful name of "Morgan Daiqing".

Now that Leo has the same reputation as Dorgon, do you think he can be happy?

Although Li Luo was not promoted, Luo Yu, Zha Yinnan, Shang Zhu, Li Jie, He Yi and other Han generals were all knighted. Among them, Luo Yu, who "won" the naval battle, had the highest title and was crowned a county. Several others have been named county males.

Even the left man Sappler also got the benefits, moved to the right side, and became the real second in command.

As soon as the lieutenant sent by the capital came out of Quanzhou City, he encountered a small group of fierce and majestic Mongolian cavalry, led by a Mongolian general, wearing gorgeous armor, with a white fox tail around his neck and a black-tailed Sulu ingot behind his horse.

The lieutenant was just a eunuch of a low grade, and when he saw this Mongolian general, he immediately recognized it, rolled off the saddle, and saluted half-kneeling: "Slave Alu, I've seen all the handsome officials!" ”

This Mongolian general is the Wanzhedu of the Marshal of the Pingmandu. Wan Zhe was a Mongolian nobleman, Kublai Khan loved generals, and was given the name "Qi Geqi Badu", which means loyal warriors.

Although Wan Zhedu's qualifications are relatively old, he does not have too many military exploits. He commanded a full 40,000 Mongol cavalry, but he never completely put down the rebellion in Fujian and Jiangxi. However, as soon as Li Luo came, he first leveled Huang Hua, then leveled the Xu family, and defeated the remnant Song Shuishi, stealing his limelight.

Wan Zhedu was originally in Jiangxi to kill the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, why did he suddenly come to Quanzhou, Fujian? It was for Wang Yue, the commander of the Zhangzhou Army, who was killed by Li Luo's marching method.

That's right, Wang Yue is not only his person, but also the brother of one of his concubines, and he usually respects himself a lot. Hmph, the so-called dog beating depends on the owner, this Li Luo, a Korean, dared to march to kill Wang Yue.

Therefore, Wan Zhedu came to Quanzhou in person to find that Fujian Pingzhang to settle accounts.

"You came to Quanzhou to give Li Luo a message. Say, what did the Great Khan reward Li Luo? Wan Zhedu asked this eunuch named Alu.

Ah Lu replied: "Returning to the capital handsome officials, the Great Khan gave Li Pingzhang a beautiful name, and also rewarded him with three hundred taels of gold and a good horse. ”

Oh? Wan Zhedu's slender eyes narrowed, "What kind of beauty did the Great Khan give Li Luo?" ”

The lieutenant replied, "Mergen Badu." ”

Mergenbatu? Wan Zhedu's face was ugly, he snorted coldly, and led the guards into the city. Of course, the city gate guards knew Zhedu and hurriedly invited him into the city.

Li Luo was discussing with the provincial officials in the festival hall at this time, and Wan Zhedu came in with a horsewhip and swaggered.

When the officials in the hall saw it, they all gave the gift to Wan Zhedu.

"I've seen all the handsome officials!"

"Qiqi Badu, you are just like Hai Dongqing, and suddenly flew to Quanzhou."

"The marshal officers are busy with military affairs, so why did they arrive in person?"

Wan Zhedu said hello to everyone in a reserved and perfunctory manner, and then took a few steps forward and came to Li Luo's case. He was very tall, and when he stood like this, he was as tall as Li Luo sitting in the hall.

"Li Pingzhang, I heard that the Great Khan gave you the capital of Morgenbatu? I, Wan Zhedu, have doubts in my heart like dark clouds before the rain. Could it be that Li Pingzhang is a wise person? ”

"If you are really wise, you shouldn't execute Wang Yue without permission. You, make me angry. Don't think that if you do a flat chapter, you really think of yourself as a master who can be killed and killed. ”

Wan Zhedu's words were unceremonious and aggressive. At this moment, how can everyone not know that he is here to find fault?

Li Luo looked at Zhedu and said with a faint smile: "Wang Yue escaped from the battle, shouldn't he be killed?" Or does the parish not have the power to kill? My Dayuan military law is like a mountain, is it a child's play? ”

Li Luo stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Wan Zhedu condescendingly, "This hall killed Wang Yue, and the Great Khan and the court both said that it was a good kill." If he thinks that the hall was wrong, he should find the theory of the court and the Great Khan. You shouldn't have put down Jiangxi's military affairs and run to my Pingzhang Hall. ”

Wan Zhedu stared at Li Luo coldly, "Li Luo, you have to remember your identity, you have to always remember that you are just a Goryeo." ”

"Really?" Li Luo gritted his teeth and walked down the court, "Whether this hall is from Goryeo or not, they are all ministers of the imperial court who are ordered to govern Fujian by Pingzhang of Fujian Province." This church killed Wang Yue according to the law of marching, what can you do? ”

Li Luo walked in front of Wan Zhedu and stood still, looking straight at the other party's wolf-like fierce eyes, "You should thank Bentang for killing Wang Yue." He fled from the battle, greedy for life and afraid of death, which led to the annihilation of the Zhangzhou army and the fall of Zhangzhou to the enemy. If the parish does not kill him, what will be the fate that awaits him? Well?! ”

Wan Zhedu saw that Li Luo was fearless, and he didn't take himself as a Mongolian nobleman in his eyes at all, and the anger in his heart almost made him desperate to draw his sword.

However, he is not an impulsive and frizzy stunned youth, after all, he is a general who has commanded the army for many years. So, the angry man managed to suppress his anger.

Li Luo is at the same level as himself, and now he is being reused by the Great Khan, and he is in the provincial festival. Not to mention that he is a Korean, even if he is really a dog and a rat, he can't pull out a knife and kill him.

Dayuan, has its own law!

"Li Luo, you remember what you said today. Ben Shuai reminds you that even if you are really a wise and intelligent Hai Dongqing, there are times when you break your wings! ”

Wan Zhedu said with a cold expression, resisting the urge to whip Li Luo on the spot.

Li Luo said lightly: "Thank you for the reminder." On the day when the wings of the main hall are really broken, you will stand in front of me with a whip again. ”

Wan Zhe knew that he couldn't take advantage of anything today, so he didn't be verbose, he snorted coldly and turned around and left.

It wasn't until he walked to the door that he suddenly turned around and pointed at Li Luo with a horsewhip, "Li Luo, Ben Shuai still wants a word for you, you are the prime minister, and you are just a slave of our Mongolians." Those who are slaves must have the consciousness of slaves in order to live longer. Once you lose the official position of Dayuan, a brand player can kill you. ”

Li Luo was also extremely angry in his heart, but his face did not show any hint, and he still looked smiling.

"Bang Bang!" Li Luo applauded: "Well said, well said!" Wanzhedu, I remembered your words. We hope that you will also remember what you said today. I'm waiting for your signman to kill me. ”

Wan Zhedu whipped on the gate of the festival hall, pointed at Li Luo with a horse whip, laughed twice, and strode away.

Li Luo looked at Wan Zhedu's back, and his pupils contracted slightly. Hey, it's so difficult to be a widow, the king of a country, being scolded by a barbarian.

Wan Zhedu, Wan calf, you are very arrogant, relying on the fact that you are a Mongolian nobleman, you actually ran to my territory, in the dignified provincial festival hall, in front of all my subordinate officials, so insulting my ordinary political affairs!

Provincial Pingzhang political affairs, from a product to the feudal officials, but there is a banner of Qin, and he is still favored by Kublai Khan, you dare to bully like this. If I were just a governor or prefect, I wouldn't have been whipped half to death by you, or even killed with a knife?

Hmph, when the army of the widow enters the Central Plains, the widow wants to ask if a brand player can kill the widow.

Li Luo walked up to the lobby with a smile and patted the hall in shock, "The unwelcome villain has left, we will continue to discuss the matter!" ”

All the officials were a little worried, and thought that Li Luo would be angry because he didn't have the steps to go down, and he would be angry with them. But seeing Li Luoyun's indifferent appearance, he was relieved.

Saple, who was promoted to the right man, said: "Zhongtang, Xia Guan has thought of an idea to send the displaced people to sea faster. Nowadays, only three batches of 150,000 people can be transported in two months, which is a bit slow, mainly because there are not enough ships. ”

"Didn't the sailor Luo Wanhu capture a lot of warships last time? Simply borrowed to transport displaced people. In this way, an additional 10,000 people can be transported at a time. Then, the surplus merchant ships of the Fujian maritime merchants were requisitioned, so that more than 10,000 people could be transported. Together, more than 20,000 people can be transported at a time. ”

During this time, Sappler did his best to sell displaced people. I don't know, I thought he was a good official.

Of course, Li Luo was anxious, nodded and said, "Then do it according to the wishes of the right official." For the sake of the stability of Fujian Province, the right officials are committed to the displaced people, and they really work hard and make great achievements. When this matter is over, the hall will naturally have a book to play, and it will live up to the hard work of the right officials. ”

Sappler was happy in his heart, knowing that it was Li Luo who recommended him to save the peace chapter for him, and immediately said: "It's all the credit of the middle hall, and the lower officials don't dare to take credit." ”

After discussing a few more things, Li Luo announced his retirement.

Back at the back of the official mansion, Li Luo sat with a gloomy face for a long time, and then ordered his guards to pass Li Yang to see him.

After Li Yang arrived, Li Luo asked, "Is there any of us by Wan Zhedu's side?" ”

Li Yang shook his head and said: "Wan Zhedu has been in Jiangxi this year, not in Fujian, so there are no people from us by his side." Moreover, he is a general on the expedition, and the generals around him are all Mongols and Semu, so it will be difficult to intervene for a while. ”

Li Luo said: "You go and find a way." In the future, all the generals of the Yuan army who commanded more than 10,000 troops should try to install people as much as possible. ”

"No!" Li Yang commanded, "I was just about to come to see the Lord to report that Quanzhou had discovered the White Lotus Sect organization, and his subordinates had sent people to get in before, because he was literate and hyphenated, and he had just become a member of the church. ”

"The so-called record is the person who manages the account book and the roster, and also participates in the confidential part of an incense meeting."

Li Luo asked, "How many people are in a church?" Have they figured out what they are doing? ”

Li Yang said: "This White Lotus Sect is not monolithic, although they all believe in Maitreya Buddha, but it is actually very loose, basically going their own way. The Fujian White Lotus Sect and the Jiangxi White Lotus Sect are only secretly ventilated, but they do not belong to the same family. ”

"There are seven or eight hundred people in Quanzhou Xiangtang, all of whom are so-called believers who cultivate at home, but they secretly store weapons. Every ten days and a half months, they have to hold a church and accept incense money. There are 18 incense halls in Fujian, and the number of believers is estimated at 20,000. ”

"Moreover, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect are mostly local rich and wealthy people. The bitter people are just the lowest believers. ”

Li Luo said: "What about their Fujian main hall?" Where is it? ”

Li Yang replied: "In Fuzhou." The head of the main hall is called the Buddha, and under the Buddha, there are also Buddha's sons, Buddha's daughters, Dharma protectors, etc. It's just that the name and identity of the Fujian Buddha have not yet been clarified, and they are all secret. ”

"Also, the White Lotus Sect in Qilu, Huguang, and Jiangxi is the most powerful. Especially Huguang. But it is not known how powerful it is. According to the wishes of the lady, the subordinates formulated a plan to enter the general altar of several provinces. ”

Li Luo nodded, "You let it go, don't worry about the silver." Within a year, the main altar of the White Lotus Sect in several major provinces will have our people. ”

Li Yang said: "My subordinates will definitely do it, and the lord can rest assured." There is another thing that needs to be reported to the lord. The small court of Quanzhou ran to a place called Java in the South Seas, where they occupied an island, had tens of thousands of horses, and tried to attract displaced people. How to deal with it? ”

Li Luoqi said: "How can you know the news so far away? The Special Investigation Bureau didn't put eyeliner there. ”

Li Yang smiled: "This is the news we bought from a maritime merchant. ”

Li Luo understood, "Let them toss in the small court of the remnant Song Dynasty, leave them alone, they are not the focus of my Tang." ”

After Li Yang left, Li Luo stood up and paced around the room, thinking about what to do next.

He is an official in Cao Ying, and his heart is in Han, so it is impossible to really be an official. Now that immigrants are doing things like Sappler, he can't waste his time, he has to do something.

After thinking for a while, Li Luo finally thought of something that he could do now.

Training of cadet officers.

He has not trained new officer cadets anymore.

Let's train the three hundred guards around you.

Yan Falcon, Liu Dadao and others have been guards for two or three years, and they can't always be their own guards, so what's the point? After all, it has to be put out for great use.

These people are not only their own guards, but also their own students, and their loyalty is more reliable, and it is worth vigorously cultivating.

The guards had actually been trained by Li Luo, but it was only basic training, and they did not have the military knowledge of the firearms era. Li Luo still has a lot to teach them. It can be regarded as "further study".

After half a year, they were all released, starting directly with the military attaché of the firearms unit, so that he could have a firmer grasp of the military power.

Li Luo then spent nearly ten days sorting out all the military knowledge of the modern firearms era that he knew and could use.

At the end of July, the "Firearms Officer Cadet Training" began at Yeyuetang.

The inner residence of Pingzhang's official residence is Li Luo's own people, and it is very safe to train the guards here, so you don't have to worry about being discovered.

In the first class, Li Luo introduced the guns and artillery, which were very unfamiliar to the guards.

In the next half month, except for the occasional promotion to the court, Li Luo actually ruled by the arch and left all the political affairs to the subordinate officials. Anyway, the so-called political affairs of the Great Yuan Dynasty had nothing but tax collection and suppression.

Most of the time, Li Luo was in the inner house to give lectures to the three hundred guards.

As the heat fades and the autumn breeze rises, the days are in early August.

Li Luo suddenly remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival must be celebrated!

Well, what kind of gift to give to your daughter-in-law? She is not rare in gold and silver jewelry, not to mention silk and satin, and she also has a pistol model. Oh, what can I give to please the beauties, and Bojia people smile?

It's so hard to be a widow.
