"PS: I'm too sleepy, let's code one chapter first, and wait for me to wake up in another chapter, after all, it's the beginning of another event."

———— the following text————

The next day, the Marquis of Luyang and his entourage visited Wang Shangde again and bid farewell to Wang Shangde, and the general Wang then sent Peng Yonghuan to send the group to the city gate.

On the way to see him off, Peng Yong revealed to the Luyang Township Marquis, Liu Jian and others: "I learned the news last night that Kong Jian resigned from the post of Nanyang County Guard, and now he is staying with the general in white......"

Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang and Liu Wei glanced at each other, and immediately said to Peng Yong: "Thank you General Peng for informing me." ”

"Nothing." Peng Yong waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "If the townsman insists on thanking me, he can give me one or two jars of wine from your mansion when he goes back...... I'm willing to make some money. ”

In view of the fact that when he returned to the post house yesterday, the Luyang townsmen had already discussed to have a good relationship with Peng Yong, and at this moment hearing him say this, the Luyang townsmen naturally would not refuse, and immediately said to his liking: "General Peng's words are divided, Xiaohou does not often drink, and the wine in the house is also kept, it is better to give it to General Wang, General Peng, and other brave generals of my Great Jin." ”

"Zhao Xianghou is arrogant." Peng Yong praised with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the Luyang townsman and his party said goodbye to Peng Yong, left slowly in a carriage, and returned to Luyang.

After saying goodbye to Peng Yong, who was watching everyone again, from the car window, Liu Jian turned back to the father and son of Luyang Township and said: "Unfortunately, Liu Mou expected, then Kong Jian really chose to resign from his official position...... Such a villain who knows how to advance and retreat should not be underestimated. ”

For this matter, the Marquis of Luyang was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "Be careful in the future." ”

In all fairness, he was satisfied enough with Kong Jian's fate.

It is undeniable that he does hate Kong Jian deeply, hating Kong Jian for bullying him when he was young, and almost taking the ancestral business of his Zhao family as his own, and considering that Kong Jian made a mess of Luyang County back then, of course he hoped that Kong Jian would get the end he deserved and be beheaded by the imperial court.

But in view of the current situation, the marquis of Luyang is already very satisfied that he can lose his official position and no longer target Luyang County with his position.

As for the future, in fact, the Marquis of Luyang was not too worried, because he could see that his son Zhao Yu had left a deep impression on Wang Shangde this time, so much so that when everyone said goodbye yesterday, Wang Shangde personally asked Zhao Yu if he was the second son in the family.

According to the world, most of the eldest sons can inherit the family business, while the second son needs to leave home on his own to work hard, Wang Shangde asked Zhao Yu if he is the second son in the family, which undoubtedly means that Wang Shangde hopes that Zhao Yu can join him when he grows up as his right-hand man.

When you think about it, it's a pretty good way out.

After all, Wang Shangde was born in the 'Wang family', and the Wang family is a powerful and powerful family in this Jin country, I don't know how many Wang children hold important positions in the court, and the most famous of them is Wang Shangde's uncle, Taishi Wang Ying.

Not to mention that Wang Shangde himself is also a general with more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops in his hands, looking at the entire Jin Kingdom, there are really only a handful of generals who can hold this kind of military power.

Although the Marquis of Luyang never thought of asking his son to cling to the powerful, it is undeniable that if his son Zhao Yu defects to Wang Shangde in the future, with his talent, he may not be able to rise to prominence in the future.

Glancing at Zhao Yu, who was whispering and laughing with Jingnu on the side, the Marquis of Luyang decided to call Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng to urge Zhao Yu to practice martial arts after going back, after all, Wang Shangde was one of the generals who led the army to suppress the rebellion, and defecting to him meant that he must master a certain amount of martial arts - at least he must be able to protect himself, otherwise, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, which is not a joke.

Perhaps because it was because of the solution to the troubles that pressed on the heart, or because it was like an arrow, it took a group of people who came for two days to return, and it only took one day to return to Luyang County.

Although because of Kong Jian's relationship, the trip was a little more thrilling out of thin air, but in the end, everyone successfully solved the biggest crisis in Luyang County, and persuaded Wang Shangde to give up collecting money and grain from Luyang.

Faced with the warm invitation of the Luyang townsman, Liu Jian naturally would not refuse, after all, he was also very happy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to drink wine to celebrate.

So on the night of returning to Luyang County, the Marquis of Luyang Township set up a small banquet in the mansion, in addition to inviting Liu Xuan, he also sent someone to invite Xu Xuan, the county governor of Luyang County, and Ding Wu, the county lieutenant.

During the banquet, Liu Wei enthusiastically told how Zhao Yu persuaded Wang Shangde to remove Kong Jian from his official position, and everyone was surprised when they heard it, and they all turned their heads to look at Zhao Yu, looking carefully with surprise, as if they had re-acquainted themselves with the second son of the township mansion.

Among them, the most surprising was Mr. Dongxi Ram of the Xianghou Mansion, he frowned and looked at Zhao Yu, and then looked at the eldest prince Zhao Yin, who was sitting next to him honestly and practically, and a little sorrow appeared between his eyebrows.

"Why didn't the second prince persuade General Wang to kill Kong Jian?"

While everyone was talking, the county lieutenant Ding Wu suddenly turned his head and asked Zhao Yudao.

Zhao Yu was about to explain, but saw the county Cheng Xu Xuan open his mouth and said: "Lao Ding, you are a strong man." …… As far as the facts are concerned, that Kong Jian has not committed a crime enough to be executed this time, this time he can make him lose his position as a county guard, and prevent my Luyang County from being targeted by him in the future, which is really lucky, and he can't ask for more. ”

Zhao Yu nodded secretly.

To be honest, if it is possible, he actually wants to get rid of Kong Jian completely, after all, there is a saying that the nature of the country is easy to change, although Kong Jian is currently suffocated, but who can guarantee that this person will not make a comeback in the future? It seems that this kind of enemy who has a strong hatred for his relatives and his hometown, if it can be completely resolved, it is naturally better to completely solve it, Zhao Yu is not the kind of pedantic and stupid person.

But the problem is just like what Xu Xuan said, this time Kong Jian's crime will not lead to death, even he is not sure to persuade Wang Shangde to get rid of Kong Jian, so he can only retreat and remove Kong Jian's official position.

As for the future, let's talk about it later, anyway, if that Kong Jian dares to offend his relatives in the future, he will definitely not show mercy.

That night, a group of men ate and drank until late at night, and the guard chief Zhang Chun and the county lieutenant Ding Wu also fought for the amount of wine, attracting others to cheer for the two.

However, Zhao Yu felt bored, and took Jingnu back to his house to sleep early-although the Luyang Township Marquis and the Zhou family allowed him to drink a little wine, it must be said that those turbid rice wines, even if the alcohol content is low, the taste is still sour, and Zhao Yu really can't drink it.

In addition to Zhang Chun and Ding Wu with a few guards who were still drinking, Liu Wei, Xu Xuan and others were almost drunk and were moved to the guest room by the guards to fall asleep.

Because the banquet was all men, Zhou just showed his face to this small banquet, and when her husband returned to the house, she asked with a smile: "The concubine heard a few maids say that Liu Gong frequently praised Yu'er for his wit and intelligence during the banquet, and even called Yu'er a genius, why, did Yu'er make a big effort this time?" ”

"Well...... Luyang townsman replied vaguely: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Rarely, this time he didn't even make the gesture of "one line away", as if he was afraid of his beloved wife's questioning, so he took off his clothes and lay down on the bed to rest.

Seeing this, Zhou covered his lips with his sleeves and couldn't help laughing.

Didn't she know the contribution of her son Zhao Yu to Wancheng? As soon as the quiet girl returned, she reported to her with joy.

She deliberately asked in front of her husband, just to tease her man.

Who had her husband often mentioned in her ears all these years that her precious two sons were not as smart as they were when they were younger?

Now Zhou's can be regarded as 'raising his eyebrows'.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xuan, Xu Xuan, Ding Wu and others, who stayed in the Xianghou Mansion last night, supported their hangover bodies and said goodbye to the Luyang Township Marquis, and the Luyang Township Marquis then took a carriage to Ye County, and personally reported to Ye County Commander Mao Jue the result of the discussion with Wang Shangde this time in Wancheng.

Although he didn't use the power of the unknown drinking friend of the old county order in the end, the Marquis of Luyang still accepted the old county order's affection.

As for Zhao Yu, he can finally sleep comfortably.

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of October.

At this time, the weather has gradually turned cold, and it is about to enter the cold winter, but fortunately, the refugees have built wooden houses one after another, and the impact of the weather is not very great for the time being.

On the third day of October, Zhao Yu took Jingnu, Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng to the Zhengxiang work site again to inspect the progress of the refugees in building houses, and by the way, explain the tasks after that.

According to the meaning of Liu Wei and the Luyang Township, the excavation of the canal has come to an end this year, and then, the counties need to unite to survive the cold winter - to be honest, the impact of the cold winter on the aborigines in the county is not very large, and the real need to worry is still those refugees, after all, most of these refugees do not have cotton clothes and quilts that can protect them from the cold, if they can't let him reserve enough firewood before the snow, even if they build a house, I am afraid that some people will freeze to death in the cold winter.

The problem of firewood is easy to solve, after Zhao Yu ordered it, Ding Lu and other three tun chiefs led their respective tun people to cut down trees everywhere, reserve firewood, and in just a few days, they piled up several teams of firewood high in the area of the canal pit, like a small mountain.

But cotton clothes and quilts are quite scarce.

Even if the Marquis of Luyang donated some, Liu Jian took great pains to buy some surplus from the people in the county, and there was still not enough things that could keep out the cold.

In desperation, Zhao Yu had no choice but to teach the refugees an alternative way to protect themselves from the cold: he asked them to collect hay and stuff it into their clothes as a filler to ward off the cold.

"You have to get more cotton next year, and it's best to get some cotton seeds...... I don't know if I can get it, but when General Wang Shangde's military market is opened, I will have to send someone to see it."

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

And just when Luyang County was preparing for the winter, Wang Zhi, the manager of the Ruyang Hou Mansion, who had returned to Ruyang County in anger due to the conflict with Zhao Yu, took a middle-aged man and a retinue to the Xianghou Mansion in Luyang.
