Liu Ximing didn't know much about what happened in the imperial court about the destruction of Wuchang City at this time, because he had already left Dengzhou and embarked on the road home to save his relatives.

Strictly calculated, the reason why Li Zicheng and others besieged Wuchang was because he deliberately released water and let the troops go south.

I don't know if Yang Sichang would want to come up and strangle him, the initiator, if there is a spirit underground.

But even if he knew about it, he wouldn't take it seriously, and when he heard the news that Li Zicheng and others were surrounding Wuchang, Liu Ximing was still a little happy in his heart.

If the world is not chaotic, how can he have a chance to come out.

Since sending Liang Yizhi and others to secretly fund the Liukou, Liu Ximing has gone further and further in the matter of moving the world.

Moreover, at present, the Ming Dynasty is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, although Yang Sichang is quite talented, but in the face of this crisis, there is only one way to lose.

As the time turned to the end of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, all kinds of anti-plague drugs and materials from Liujia Village were in place, and the plague that had ravaged the Central Plains for nearly a year was finally controlled.

After reporting the matter to the imperial court and paying tribute to hundreds of people such as Sun Chuanting, Dou Yuquan, and Gu Yanwu, Liu Ximing set off to return to Sichuan.

In the recital, he specifically named the merits of Dou Yuquan, Lei Hong and others, and said that at this time of turmoil, the people in Dengzhou and other places were safe and stable, and taxes were as usual, which shows that they have the talent to govern the government, and they should be specially promoted.

Dou Yuquan is the prefect of Nanyang, Lei Hong is the governor of Dengzhou, and Chen Zilong, a scholar of Ding Mao Kejin in the south of the country, is not afraid of the epidemic and goes to Henan to help the epidemic, and he is the county governor of the inner township and so on.

In Liu Ximing's opinion, except for Dou Yuquan's promotion to the prefect of Nanyang, which is a little difficult, everything else should be okay.

In addition, he also made a special trip to Henan Governor Yang Yipeng to make another twist, and he thought that the imperial court would not specifically refute the opinions of the two high-ranking officials.

Leaving Liu Xixian and Liu Xi'an to continue their training in Dengzhou, Liu Ximing himself took his concubine Cao Wanyi north along the Han River to Hanzhong, and then returned to Shunqing from the Lizhou line.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here."

On the wharf of Yangxian County, Xie Wenle, who was dressed in regular clothes, waved vigorously to Liu Ximing at the bow of the boat with an excited face.

Liu Xi's line of life was so vast that he couldn't recognize it.

"Hahaha, mentally retarded brother, no, brother Zhizheng, I haven't seen you for three years, you are even more rich."

jumped directly from the bow of the boat, and Liu Ximing immediately picked up Xie Wenle and joked.

The two are not only uncles, but also friends for many years, so naturally there is nothing polite to be polite.

Xie Wenle was not afraid of Liu Ximing's status as a second-class member now, and raised a palm and slammed it on his chest to make a fierce appearance.

"You are a negative man, you only favor Chunxi alone, how can you take another concubine in the Beijing Division, see that Uncle Ben doesn't teach you a lesson."

Liu Ximing smiled embarrassedly on his face, "Hehe, this, don't you hear that men in the world will make this mistake?" ”

"Hahaha"

Of course, Xie Wenle didn't want to take care of Liu Ximing's family affairs, nodded to Cao Wanyi, who was saluting him, put his arm around Liu Ximing's shoulders and walked towards Yangxian County.

"Let's go, let our Liu Zhongcheng see what kind of scenery my Yangxian is now."

Not to mention, as soon as he left the dock, Liu Ximing seemed to feel like he was back under the rule of Liujia Village.

The people of Yangxian County who come and go to the county seat and the wharf are very busy, Liu Ximing saw that the worst clothes of the people were also plain cotton clothes, but they were also neatly dressed, and there was no patch at all.

In addition, Yangxian Wharf has built a lot of stalls with wood, and the whole stall is transparent on all sides, with only a few pillars and a roof around it, which looks very simple.

But even so, there are still a large number of small traders who are selling all kinds of goods to passers-by.

Seeing Liu Ximing carefully observing the architectural structure of these stalls, Xie Wenle said with a smile: "It's not that I'm lazy, it's really that the rogues cross the border too often, if it is built too well, it will definitely be looted and burned by them, it's better to be so simple, it's a big deal to be burned and rebuilt." ”

"At present, in addition to the grain, cloth and other bulk goods in the whole county are all controlled in our hands, the rest of the small business activities have been liberalized, allowing the people to operate on their own, judging from the effect of this year, it is very beneficial to economic development."

Liu Ximing nodded when he heard this, and with the expansion of Liu's stall, the pure collectivized economy that Liujia Village originally insisted on has become somewhat difficult to implement.

The key to this lies in the fact that the flow of information is not smooth, and the decision-makers of the Liu family are unable to effectively collect, judge and analyze economic data, and then choose the best economic measures.

Another more important reason is that after Dengzhou, Neixiang and other states and counties started, Liu Ximing found that the Liu family's talent system could not support the operation of such an economic system covering several states and counties and millions of people.

You must know that China in the rabbit period has gone through many periods such as the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the aid of the Soviet Union, so that it can be built into a perfect talent echelon, and the Liu family obviously does not have such conditions.

Therefore, Liu Ximing, who was forced to do so, could only issue instructions to various places in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, except for key economies such as grain and cloth, and began to allow the people under the Liu family to operate small businesses on their own.

As a result, the market economy immediately brought into play its advantages of self-initiative and quickly brought prosperity to the areas under the jurisdiction of the Liu family.

Xie Wenle is a family of official gentry, but even a figure like him has never heard of anything like developing the economy and ensuring people's livelihood, and the three years of being an official in Yangxian County have become a rare fresh experience for him in the past 20 years.

Listening to Xie Wenle finish saying his feelings like a cannon, Liu Ximing turned to smile and said: "It seems that Brother Wenle has not been an official in vain in the past few years, and the people of Yangxian County have a parent official like you, which can be regarded as a blessing that they have cultivated for eight lifetimes." ”

Liu Ximing chatted with Xie Wenle while rushing towards the city on foot, and the people on both sides of the road obviously recognized Xie Wenle, the parent official.

Although there are still many fearful colors in the eyes of many people, there are also many people who show smiling faces and greet Xie Wenle directly, and Liu Ximing who watched this scene was very pleased.

Being able to make the people no longer afraid of officials is a great change that Cosmos has brought to the world.

There are 3,000 regular troops of the Liu family stationed in the whole Yangxian County, and more than 30,000 people from the militia group, such a powerful armed force has effectively protected the entire Yangxian County from the threat of the rogues.

After three days in Yangxian County, Liu Ximing personally met with Xun Bowen and other Liu family managers, and after inspecting the Yangxian militia group, he once again embarked on the road back to Sichuan.

It wasn't until the end of April that he officially set foot on the land of Liujia Village.

"Husband"

Looking at the warm atmosphere on the dock, Cao Wanyi, who was still on the boat, couldn't help but hold Liu Ximing's hand again and shouted nervously.

The sound of the bow of the ship touching the dock sounded softly, and after laughing and comforting Cao Wanyi, Liu Ximing strode off the boat.

On the dock, Liu Chen's daughters such as Xie Chunxi, Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan and Yu Qiaoman had been waiting for a long time surrounded by the high-level leaders of the Liu family.

Liu Ximing forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, sorted out the second-grade official uniform on his body, walked in front of Liu Chen, and bowed directly affectionately:

"When I meet my mother, I can't serve my mother in front of the house, please forgive the child for being unfilial."

Liu Chen had tears in his eyes from the moment he saw Liu Ximing's figure, and now when he heard his voice, he hurriedly helped him up with tears streaming down his face, and he could only keep saying the word "good" in his mouth.

After comforting Liu Chen, Liu Ximing had the time to look at Xie Chunxi and other wives and concubines and the children in their hands.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Thinking that he would leave home for two years as soon as he finished sowing, he felt a little ruthless, and Liu Ximing felt even more guilty when he saw Xie Chunxi and others.

Xie Chunxi's plump and mature face was flushed with excitement, and he choked up and took his eldest son Liu Jiashan and eldest daughter Liu Jiawei in his hands, "Call Daddy."

The two well-shaped, pink and well-behaved children clenched their mother's hand with some fear, and shouted timidly, "Daddy".

"Hahaha, good son, good daughter."

The two calls suddenly connected Liu Ximing with this era, and his heart suddenly became turbulent.

With the beginning of Liu Jiashan and the others, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan also brought Liu Jiayou, Liu Jiaheng and others to meet each other, and the atmosphere on the dock suddenly became lively.

Liu Ximing hurriedly took advantage of the harmonious atmosphere to bring Cao Wanyi to meet Liu Chen and Xie Chunxi's main house.

Fortunately, he had already asked for his family's opinion through letters on this matter, and Cao Wanyi's Cao family identity would undoubtedly be of great help to the Liu family's career.

"Welcome back to the second young master!"

Behind Liu Chen and the others, the high-level leaders of the Liu family, led by Liu Xihe and Zhou Liangcai, greeted them with a big smile, and a group of people walked towards the village.
