At the Donghai Port Wharf, there are several huge sea ships moored, with towering sails stacked on top of each other, and you can see their sails from the county town of Donghai.

Groups of brightly armored guards are embarking on the ship.

Lu Ning stood on the wharf, looking back at the outline of Donghai County, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Yesterday, the edict arrived in the East China Sea, and Lu Ning, the Duke of the East China Sea, led the deputy envoy of the Qingyuan Army and the Zhangzhou Assassin and Defense Envoy.

The official of the government immediately fried the pot.

For example, Liu Hanchang, a person whose vision is only one acre and three points of land in the East China Sea, is just stunned because the country wants to leave the country.

And Zhao Pu, Jia Lun, Wang Hanshi and others have a certain understanding of the current situation in the world, but they are all extremely frightened, the lord of the country seems to be reused and opened up another world, but isn't this going to die? Obviously framed.

The Qingyuan Army was only nominally subordinate to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but in fact, it was an extremely independent feudal town.

The Qingyuan Army originally belonged to the Fujian State, and ten years ago, Fujian was in turmoil, and the Southern Tang Dynasty took the opportunity to send troops to attack Fujian.

Wu Yue took advantage of the fire to rob, and after a chaotic war, the Fujian State was destroyed.

Wu Yue got Fuzhou and other eastern half of Fujian, and Southern Tang got Jianzhou, Tingzhou, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou, the four western states of Fujian.

The Tang lord immediately went to war with Wu Yue and attacked Fuzhou, and the powerful and powerful who rose in the civil strife in Fujian also sent troops to assist, but because the generals fought for power, they did not give in to each other, and they did not want Fuzhou to be pacified, and finally the Southern Tang army suffered a major defeat and was unable to fight again.

He took the opportunity to "persuade" the Southern Tang soldiers to leave Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and other places, and sent a note to Li Jing, the lord of the Tang State, stating the various contradictions between the Fujian and the Southern Tang soldiers, and requesting that the Fujian people be used to govern the Fujian people.

The Tang lord was unable to levy it, so he could only acquiesce in the right to rule the two states of Quanquan and Zhang.

Subsequently, it was mainly appeased, and the Qingyuan army was allowed to stay in effect, and was awarded the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang and served in the middle and Zhongshu orders, and added the Duke of E, not long ago, he was named the king of Jinjiang.

Lu Ning is now going to be a deputy for such a hero.

Zhao Pu, Jia Lun and others are very clear, not long ago, they stayed in the performance of the slack, saying that their brother Liucong was seriously ill, and asked him to resign from the history of Zhangzhou, and asked Tang to choose a meritocracy to know Zhangzhou, but this is just a temptation.

The failure of the Southern Expedition of the Zhou State and the prestige of the Southern Tang Dynasty reached an unprecedented peak, which naturally made this Xiaoxiong's heart melt, and his brother's resignation was to see what the Tang Lord thought of the Qingyuan Army now.

Now the Tang lord really sent out the deputy envoy of the Qingyuan Army and the assassin of Zhangzhou.

This errand can be described as full of dangers and obstacles, and nine deaths and one life.

Zhao Pujialun and others all advised Lu Ning to call himself sick and not to go to work.

Lu Ning said with a smile: "Ben Gong wants to play in another place, you don't need to say much, just help Ben Gong take care of national affairs, be diligent!" Be as diligent as your father! ”

Zhao Pu and other government officials were silent.

However, although the lord of the country is by no means "diligent", whether it is Zhao Pu or Jia Lun, the more he understands things, the more he has to feel that the lord of the country is really a genius.

Lu Ning told them about the general direction of government affairs in the future, and even the details of the affairs of the Twelve Divisions, and some ideas, which made Zhao Pu and the others suddenly open.

For example, the Ministry of Water Affairs, which manages the repair and communication of river transitions, boats, ditches, bridges, embankments, and ditches in the county, as well as fishing, transportation, and marine terminals, said that in the future, if there is any surplus money, the tax collected every month for those hired workers who do not have land will be used to repair the wharves.

If you have money, build infrastructure, don't keep it in the treasury, so that others can't take it away, and you can grab it back.

Moreover, to build infrastructure, it is necessary to use labor, and the treasury money is spent, which not only makes the infrastructure convenient for merchants to gather, but also enables local workers to get their wages, and when they have spare money, they have to consume, accelerate the circulation of local money, and other industries will also benefit, which is a virtuous circle.

Zhao Pu, Jia Lun and others didn't understand some of the words, but they probably understood the meaning, and if they pondered it, this was really a good word.

At this moment, Zhao Pu even regretted that he pretended to be deaf and dumb in prison for a long time, and he would have been able to listen to his high righteousness in front of the lord half a year earlier.

Lu Ning is not worried about the affairs of the East China Sea, now Zhou Bing is fighting hard with the Northern Han in the north, this war will not end in a few years, even if it ends early, the two sides will recuperate, so within a few years, the probability of Zhou State invading the south is very low.

And if the Zhou State did not invade the south, it would have the deterrent power of shooting those important military officials in Yizhou, and the military and political officials who came to Yizhou and Mizhou would definitely restrain the soldiers and prohibit them from coming to the East China Sea to plunder.

Xiao Zhouhou had been sent to the river boat to Jinling yesterday, and although the little girl's eyes were a little red, she was still very obedient and got on the boat.

It is safer for her to go to Jinling temporarily, not to mention that if she wants to take her to Zhangzhou, this old man Zhou Zong has to be anxious with him.

The recent indulgence of this little daughter, how to force the fire, must also be due to the persuasion of the eldest daughter.

Gan and You Wuniang both walked with them, and the national affairs were routinely sent to Zhangzhou every month, and some affairs still had to be reviewed by them for the final review, and if there was an emergency, they could be expedited.

The only thing Lu Ning was worried about was that he took away thirteen of the fourteen guards, in case there was a case, what would hurt the old mother who stayed in the East China Sea.

But the old mother used to work too hard, frail and sickly, and went to the south at first, afraid that the body could not withstand it, especially in Zhangzhou, the development was not very good, before the Tang Dynasty, many areas of Quanzhang still belonged to the barbarian land.

Therefore, the old mother can only stay in the East China Sea and be taken care of by the second sister.

However, even if there is a real case, the old mother and the second sister and other relatives fall into the hands of the enemy, as long as they are still there, the person who captured the old mother will definitely feel that the old mother is a strange thing to live in and use the old mother as a hostage and bargaining chip, so that he will definitely be able to find a way to save his mother back.

Speaking of which, there is also the so-called Tong Thirteen in the Three Beauties, who can also be called Ke Yu Little Monk, who also stayed in the East China Sea, and he almost forgot about her, it was You Wuniang who mentioned whether to take her to Zhangzhou, but You Wuniang said that this little thirteen meditates every day and does not ask about the world, and after thinking about it, he didn't bother her.

Her brother settled in the East China Sea, and the specific arrangements were all made by You Wuniang, and she didn't ask.

The first battle left behind by the land nail is to practice the local group training, which is already the winter agricultural slack season, and it is also the time for the drill group practice.

Moreover, in winter, Huaishui and many rivers are shallow and dry, and it is also necessary to practice regimental training to guard the rivers along the water, which is called "shallowness".

Lu Ning ordered Lu Ding to follow the method he had always had, to practice group exercises, and the daily recipes were not as good as the personal guard exercises, but they also had to eat meat.

Whether it is the taxes of the government, Lu Ning's property and the lottery money won, Lu Ning can't wait to spend it all, as long as he spends it properly, what is the use of putting it in the treasury? Wait for the long hair or wait for the invasion of a strong enemy to be served in a pot?

The fourteen guards, most of them are young men who are fierce and fierce, and a few who have families have been deployed to the army of Lu Nail and stay in the East China Sea to defend the country.

On the day of today's departure, watching these guards board the ship, Lu Ning sighed in his heart, in Zhangzhou, these children of his own, I don't know how many people will have to return after experiencing blood and fire?

"Lord Duke......" The slightly stiff voice was Aladdin, and he didn't know when he came to Lu Ning's side.

Lu Ning set off for Zhangzhou, but he had to take the sea route, after all, with hundreds of guards, the land route was inconvenient, and it was not as convenient and fast as the sea route.

Looking at Aladdin, Lu Ning patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You just do a good job for me, and you won't regret it in the future!" ”

Aladdin only smiled bitterly in his heart, but he really lost the big gamble, and the whole family was already the slave of the duke, what could he do?

Fortunately, the Duke was kind to him, and appointed him as the deputy director of the Tokai City Shipping Department, helping to collect taxes from merchant ships, and at the same time, he also had the power and responsibility to supervise the director.

However, he now has several guards by his side at all times, and before his family comes to the East China Sea Kingdom, it is definitely impossible for these guards to replace him, in the words of the Duke, "the villain first, the gentleman later." ”

"Lord Duke, it's time to board the ship!" Aladdin bowed slightly.

Lu Ning turned his head to look and also saw the first ship, behind the hazy light veil of the porthole of the cabin, he was looking at his Gan from a distance.

Far away, it is impossible for ordinary people to see the figure behind the light veil of the porthole, but Lu Ning knows that the graceful figure is Gan's, and she has been looking at herself infatuatedly.

Lu Ning's heart rose with pride, and said with a smile, "Okay, board the ship!" ”
