After that, Liu Pei began to clean up the soldiers in the guardhouse. The old and weak soldiers were all sent to Tuntian to build water conservancy. A small number of elite soldiers who were selected were rebuilt by Liu Pei into his recruit training camp. At the same time, Liu Pei recruited young and strong personnel in various places, retrained a group of soldiers, and gradually filled the vacancies in the guards.

As a result, by the end of the year, the reorganized land of the health center was rejuvenated, and a bumper harvest was reaped that year!

Know that the fields themselves are ripe fields. It was only the refusal of the officers to invest money in repairing the water conservancy facilities that led to a decline in the output of the fields. And Liu Pei has people and money, so he can naturally develop it seriously.

In the year when Liu Pei was in charge of the guard, Liu Pei handed over 80,000 stones of seeds and 10,000 taels of gold and silver to the imperial court! And Liu Pei also wrote to the court to say that the harvest will be better next year! It is estimated that at least the grain handed over will exceed 150,000 stones!

This document simply caused a sensation in the imperial court! You must know that the land occupied by these guards is the best position, and it should be harvested every year to provide a large amount of food for the imperial court.

However, with the erosion of the guards, in recent years, the guards at all levels have not only been unable to provide food, gold and silver, but also need to allocate some silver from the higher authorities to feed the soldiers in the guards. As a result, Liu Pei suddenly appeared such an anomaly, not only did he not need to allocate silver on it, but he could also hand over grain and gold and silver, which was very surprising!

And this document also alarmed Emperor Chongzhen. After Emperor Chongzhen saw the fold, he felt that the name Liu Pei was familiar, and immediately asked someone to check Liu Pei's resume. It turned out that this person not only had many gains on the battlefield, but also had such an ability to clean up the local guards! So he gave a comment on the spot: "Yunwen Yunwu!" ”

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also ordered Liu Peisan's official rank to be raised by one level. Liu Pei didn't care about the dismissal of the official and was transferred to one level. But Emperor Chongzhen's comments saved him a lot of trouble.

Liu Pei cleaned up so many guards, and it was impossible not to offend people. As a result, those who wanted to take revenge on Liu Pei immediately died down when they heard Emperor Chongzhen's comments. This made many of the back hands prepared by Liu Pei useless.

In short, Liu Pei has had a relatively easy time in the past year or so. In addition to the time to deal with official business, it is to shuttle between the two worlds to accompany both sides

's wife and children, compensated for his regret of not being with his family for a long time, and made people at both ends very happy.

As soon as the Spring Festival passed, the organization under Liu Pei's command that had been stagnant because of the Spring Festival became active again. All kinds of people under Liu Pei's rule, farming the land, training training, and recruiting soldiers. The workmanship of workmanship, wherever Liu Pei can intervene, there is a thriving scene.

Driven by these people, even Shandong's local economic activities have flourished. In particular, Liu Pei has absorbed a large number of displaced people in the industrial aspect, and the subsequent expansion can absorb more people.

Glass products, cloth, canned products, and salted fish began to enter the markets of the surrounding provinces. Especially the city of Beijing and the capital cities of the provinces. In particular, Jiangnan's demand for glass handicrafts is like a bottomless pit.

As for the transportation of goods, there are two routes. The use of sea transportation for goods in the south is just the right thing to stimulate maritime merchants to invest in sea transportation, and it can also train Liu Pei's new sailors. As for other markets around Beijing and Shandong, there are hitchhikers. So there are more and more horse-drawn carriages that hitchhike! There are often large convoys coming and going from various places, so that Liu Pei has made enough money! Even when Liu Pei saw the account book, he said that he had to admit that if he wanted to make money quickly, he had to engage in industry!

However, it should be said that Liu Pei attaches the most importance to the work of tuntian in various places. As the saying goes, there is no food and there is no instability. Especially Liu Pei knows the tragic scene in the future, so Liu Pei really doesn't dare to relax.

Time passed quickly, and in mid-June, as soon as Liu Pei finished inspecting the granges in various places, Liu Jiang sent someone to deliver a secret letter. Liu Pei opened the secret letter and couldn't help but sneer.

It turned out that the spies planted by the Intelligence Bureau under Liu Zeqing sent back news that Liu Zeqing was preparing to disguise himself as a bandit to rob Liu Pei's goods.

Liu Zeqing has made a lot of contributions since he participated in the war to suppress Kong Youde's rebellion, and Liu Zeqing also knows how to be an official, so after the war, he specially paid a sum of silver to the above, and he was really promoted by the imperial court.

He turned out to be just a local soldier. This time, he was entrusted by the imperial court with the important task of defending the eastern section of the canal. This canal can be described as the lifeblood of the north. Grain and taxes in the south have to go up the canal, and there are countless sails every day!

But when the real position

After getting it, Liu Zeqing was full of joy and waited for the dream of making a fortune to be shattered!

In fact, Liu Zeqing wants to make a fortune through the canal, but he really can't make it! The reason is very simple, because the tanker has always been tax-free, so he is not afraid of checking the pumping. So he could only pluck his hair on merchant ships. However, many merchant ships directly use merchant ships to transport goods only when they have a big background, and the result is that Liu Zeqing can only scavenge small businessmen who have no background, and there are many large and small official ships traveling on the canal, and many merchants directly spend money to hire official ships. With Liu Zeqing's guts, these official ships did not dare to touch them at all, and they could only make money on smaller businessmen, so they couldn't make much money at all.

In the Ming Dynasty, because the scholars who held the imperial court power kept elevating the status of the scholars, no one dared to provoke these scholars. All the ships related to the scholars were carried to and fro under their own flags. And every time an official passes through the canal, there will be a merchant who transports the official and his family for free, just to be able to insert the official's banner and reduce the tax on the road.

There are even people and jinshi who can't find a real shortage and simply go back and forth on the Grand Canal, relying on the fees of merchants. Help them make a living by transporting goods. What's more, Liu Zeqing is only responsible for protecting the Shandong section of the canal, and he gets even less money! And really made Liu Zeqing extremely annoyed!

Especially in the first half of the year, watching Liu Pei's convoy pass by in batches in his jurisdiction, and when he found out what the goods in the convoy were, his eyes were red!

The convoy sent expensive perfumes, mirrors, and high-end glass products to Beijing. Sent to other surrounding provinces were also large quantities of glassware, cloth, and private salt that looked like salted fish. So Liu Zeqing moved his mind.

In normal history, Liu Zeqing is not a good bird. The discipline of the army under his command was very poor. Basically, everything that shouldn't be done in the army has been done, but when it comes to fighting, I don't pay much attention to it.

And he thinks that Liu Pei is a new general, and his path is definitely not as deep as his. And Liu Zeqing didn't plan to do it in his own jurisdiction, so he didn't have to worry about Liu Pei's thoughts. When the time comes, all the people will be killed, and who knows who did the case? What if you know it? There were several jurisdictions between him and the two bottles!
