In this way, Shandong has become an indispensable part of Li Shouhan's overall strategy.

"Xianggong, your method is certainly feasible. However, you also have to think about it, so that the farmland and water conservancy in Shandong and Denglai and the construction of political power in various places will be strengthened at the village and town level. In addition, in Dengzhou, Jiaozhou Bay, Weihaiwei and other places, it is also necessary to expand the harbor wharf and repair the dock. If my father agrees, I will also build an armory yard in that area, and move the battalion repair yard you built in Jinan to it. Then, build several smelters, not only to meet military needs, but also to build agricultural tools and daily iron tools to supply the needs of the people in Denglai, Shandong. ”

Lu Mahong is a well-deserved virtuous helper, and she made a detailed list of what Li Huayu needed to do, took the hard pen on the table, and made a list on the paper one by one. Although the handwriting is not as beautiful as Juanxiu, it is clear at a glance. However, the Li family tradition basically ignores such things as calligraphy and handwriting, which is probably directly related to Li Shouhan's own inability to write a hand.

After a night of careful negotiation between the husband and wife, Li Huayu was finally persuaded by Lu Mahong and agreed that she would take the child south as soon as possible, and rush to Li Shouhan before the holy decree arrived in Guangzhou, striving to redeem the negative impact of this canonization decree on Li Huayu. At the same time, I would like to offer the opinions and requirements of the husband and wife on the construction of Shandong, and I believe that these practices will change Li Shouhan's impression of Li Dagongzi.

Although it is said to be as soon as possible, Lu Mahong is also the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Li family after all, how can it be said that she will leave with her legs? packed up, dotted gifts for mothers, eldest sister Li Huamei, and several first brothers and sisters, and selected the entourage, and tossed for three days.

In the past three days, naturally a lot of news has been circulated. was noticed by someone like Wu Fengxian.

Although it is difficult for Wu Fengxian to know the core content such as the secret discussion between Li Huayu and Lu Mahong, from the various signs that have surfaced, he still keenly analyzed the reason why Lu Mahong eagerly took a baby to travel thousands of miles to the south.

In addition to this matter, Li Huayu's several measures also allowed him to be confirmed from another angle. That is, Li Dagongzi gave an order to put several state capital garrisons in the north on strict alert. to prevent thieves and horse bandits from making trouble. At the same time, patrols on the sea surface have also been stepped up.

"For what? Brother, think about it. We have a big thief like Wang Long in Shandong, what kind of horse thief is his opponent? Isn't it to prevent the holy people in the capital from going fast in Shandong and crossing through Shandong before the young grandmother arrives in Guangzhou? Otherwise, additional manpower will be sent on the sea, on land, and even on the various clips of the canal. ”

Wu Fengxian glanced at Zhang Linghu's beautiful face that had turned pale with jealousy, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. "What about a good skin? You can't fight, you can't fight, your brain is not good, do you really think that a beautiful face can be eaten? It's not a singing play, it's beautiful and can be hung on the wall so that people can't see it? ”

"Big brother, save me!" However, Zhang Linghu also has a little benefit, at a critical time, he is definitely the master who can pull his heart down and beg for help. Seeing that there was no one around, he folded his hands. His eyes were full of tears: "Big brother, if I hadn't met my eldest brother training here today." On a whim, I plan to steal a trick and a half from my eldest brother, and I won't have this opportunity to listen to my eldest brother talk about the wind, thunder, clouds and rain in Jinan City, which is really a virtuous ancestor! It's really as the eldest brother said, if I recklessly break in to congratulate the young marshal, I'm afraid that the young marshal will turn his face on the spot. Could it be that in the minds of the young marshal, we are closer than Lord Liang Kuanliang? ”

Zhang Linghu's face was full of palpitations, and he was lucky after escaping. I clasped my hands together and thanked the gods and Buddhas for their blessings.

"If the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, the younger brother is willing to climb the eldest brother, you and I will worship as friends of Jinlan, and the younger brother is willing to follow the eldest brother before and after the saddle and the whip and stirrup." Zhang Linghu said this. Naturally, Wu Fengxian's heart was full of joy. He supported Zhang Linghu, who was kneeling in front of him, with both hands, "Brother, you are out of sight." You and I are not old people in front of the young marshal, so naturally we have to watch and help each other. ”

After the two of them said a tender and sweet word in a false way, Zhang Linghu began to ask how to deal with it next: "Big brother, I came to Jinan this time, and I also reported in advance, so it is impossible not to enter the city when I get to the city gate." But if I go into the city, what will I do with the gifts I have brought? Or pull it to the governor's yamen to give the young marshal? ”

"This is natural!" Wu Fengxian's face was calm.

However, the same goods should be delivered in a different way. Otherwise, although the young marshal will not punish you for kneeling, I am afraid that I will already record you in the small ledger! ”

If God used a monitoring probe to film this scene and show it to Zhu Youzhen's classmates in Beijing, more than 1,000 miles away, it is estimated that Zhu Youzhen's hair would turn gray with anger. Lao Tzu claimed to be the Son of Heaven in vain, or claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and engaged in a move of donating money to raise military salaries, and the civil and military ministers and noble eunuchs under his command all asked for their lives, as if they were asking for food and flowers, and they had to send me a little money. But this group of people under the Li family's father and son have to rack their brains for giving their lord money in what name!

After careful consideration, Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu finally made up their minds. The carts of property brought by Zhang Linghu were divided into two parts, and the two of them each had half of them.

"Brother, half of your money is used to purchase farm tools and prepare for the construction of water conservancy. Then there are the miscellaneous expenses dedicated to the training of the township chiefs of various places. ”

"And I, foolish brother, am for the young marshal's salary, and I plan to use it to purchase horses for the horse team and train the horse team soldiers. Remember, the source of these goods is from the thieves we have everywhere. I didn't dare to dispose of it without authorization, so I made a special trip to hand it in! ”

"Big brother! In the evening, I put a thin wine on the floor and invited the eldest brother. By the way, I ordered the two ladies to prepare incense, candles, paper horses, and let's sacrifice to heaven and earth, and do our worship! From now on, you and my brothers will be of one heart and one mind, and what my team eats, wears, and uses, the eldest brother's team eats, wears, and uses. This heart is heartfelt, only the sky can show it. ”

Sure enough, the same goods were sent to the governor's yamen by two guys in the name of their favor, and after meeting Li Huayu, the eldest prince of Li, who was annoyed, learned that there were two reasonable subordinates who handed over all the goods obtained by the thieves. It was used to expand armaments, purchase horses, purchase farm tools, build water conservancy, and train grassroots cadres, of course, he was quite happy in his heart, and he diluted a lot of the unhappiness brought by his wife and children's long journey, and looked at Wu Fengxian and Zhang Linghu more and more pleasing to the eye.

Lu Mahong took the third generation of the Li family all the way to Jiaozhou Bay. Take a sea boat to Shanghai, stop in Shanghai for a while, add fresh fruits and vegetables, and then continue south to Guangzhou.

Under the tacit understanding of the husband and wife, before Emperor Chongzhen's ill-intentioned will reached Guangzhou, she arrived with Li Shouhan's grandson.

The boat sailed into the Pearl River and anchored at the Tianzi Wharf, Lu Ma Hong breathed in the damp air with a slightly fishy salty smell, and swept a strand of hair that was blown by the river breeze and a little messy past his ears. A long sigh of relief.

On the wharf, there are clusters of cars and horses. They are all the people in the Guogong Mansion who got the news and came to greet the eldest and younger grandmothers.

The boat docked, and there was a rush on the dock to set up a springboard between the trestle and the side of the ship, and Lu Mahong walked to the dock under the escort of a group of maids and soldiers.

On the dock, a group of female dependents and underage children of the Guogong Mansion had already gathered, led by the seventh lady Ao Lei Yilan, who was currently in charge of the house, and the tenth lady Wuyun Qiqige, who helped her manage her financial affairs.

If it's another family. Although it is said that Lu Ma Hong is a young grandmother, her position is different. However, Ao Lei Yilan and Wuyun Qiqige are also her elders after all, so they have to call their aunt anyway. Don't say that she came to the dock to pick her up, even if she returned to the house, she had to salute one by one.

However, this is the Li family of the Liang State Mansion, and they have never paid much attention to etiquette. And. There are many women of different races in the inner house of the Duke of Liang, and they don't pay attention to etiquette. Ao Lei Yilan is an aspen from Heilongjiang, and Wuyun Qiqige is a daughter of the grassland, how can she take these red tape to heart? They only knew that it was the woman of the Li family who came back, and she was also a woman who got along with them well on weekdays.

Come to the pier and pick it up. How not?

"I've seen the seventh aunt, I've seen the tenth aunt."

Although it is said that the relationship is good on weekdays, and everyone is a barbarian woman in the eyes of the scholars, but this etiquette title still can't be messed up.

"Luma Hong, it's hard work on the road." Ao Lei Yilan stepped forward and hugged Lu Ma Hong, screaming and laughing in her mouth.

The three women got close, so it was naturally inconvenient to stay at the dock, so they immediately got in the car and went to the Guogong Mansion.

Through the glass window of the car, Lu Ma Hong can see clearly, the streets of Guangzhou are full of joy, the streets are clean and tidy, the shops on the street have also painted their storefronts, replaced with new signs, and the trees on both sides of the street have also been re-brushed with lime trunks, which looks very neat.

The official offices and the mansions of wealthy businessmen along the way also spent a lot of effort to set up colorful archways at their respective doors, which were decorated with colorful and dazzling brilliance.

The whole city of Guangzhou is immersed in the atmosphere of a big happy event about to be held, and the faces of the citizens walking on the streets are also showing a joyful expression.

"Aunt Seven, is there any happy event in Guangzhou? Or is there some kind of festival? Lu Ma Hong asked Ao Lei Yilan curiously.

"You! It couldn't be better to come back, and you caught up with a big fight. Ao Lei Yilan put down a few jewelry toys given to her by Lu Ma Hong, and her face couldn't hide the joy.

"What's the buzz?" It is the nature of human beings to be social animals, no matter what ethnicity, skin color, or education. Although Lu Mahong is currently the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Liang Guo Mansion, she is not exempt from vulgarity. I heard that there was a big bustle to see, so I was naturally busy asking.

After asking, I found out that it turned out that Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi swept all over Nanyang, wiped out the rebels everywhere one by one, not only captured several famous rebel leaders, completely washed the Nanyang Islands, but also used this to establish the regime of the Nanyue Army at all levels in Nanyang. From villages and towns to counties, prefectures, prefectures, and roads, they are all complete. It is precisely because of the help of these regimes that Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi's anti-bandit and counterinsurgency activities in Nanyang can be fought more and more smoothly. In the end, it was the watch teams and strong men everywhere who searched the mountains and forests under the leadership of Bai Xingjiu's patrols to clear the mountains.

Several of the big rebel leaders were captured by these slaves who were trembling under their feet.

The rebellion is over, and it is natural to have a celebration.

Hearing the description of the seventh aunt Ao Lei Yilan, Lu Ma Hong's heart suddenly burst out, and she secretly shouted luck! If it weren't for her, she persuaded Li Huayu to rush back to Guangzhou at night. I'm afraid that this time the excitement can be seen and can't be seen, which is secondary. With Li Shouhan's style of doing things, he was able to be so extravagant for Zheng Sen's achievements, and it was difficult to guarantee that when the news reached Guangzhou, someone would stir up the storm and form an unfavorable situation for Li Huayu.

After returning home without saying anything all the way, he naturally wanted to meet his father-in-law Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang Guo, and watched his eldest daughter-in-law send his grandson from Shandong to Guangdong thousands of miles away, and Li Shouhan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Although he is still energetic at the moment. The women in the room are still adding new members to his team of children, but as the saying goes, "the old son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man and the old lady." Although the old son can't see it for a while, the eldest grandson is already a cute little doll in front of Yuxue.

How to keep Li Shouhan from being overjoyed?

"Have a good meal tonight, and we don't care if you have fun tomorrow. Lu'er, you just have to rest, and don't care about him in everything! Wait a few days for the big wood and the iron beggar to return. Let's all go and greet them, and by the way, take a look at the ceremony of sacrificing the prisoners. After teasing his grandson for a while, Li Shouhan made some arrangements for Lu Mahong.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Lu Mahong suddenly felt that he had not worked hard for thousands of miles on the sea, and what his father said should not care about him, could it be that Chongzhen's little means were being said?

Anyway, a stone in Lu Ma Hong's heart fell to the ground. The family banquet that night was because she was the daughter-in-law of the long house, although the scale and level were very grand. However, due to many reasons such as seniority etiquette, it is impossible to make it too lively. But in the days that followed. It was the women of the back house who took turns to invite the young grandmother who had returned from afar to eat and drink.

From Yan Mei'er, the owner of the inner house, to Lu Mahong's mother-in-law Li Muhua in the strict sense, several aunts such as Meishan Shilin, Ao Lei Yilan, Wuyun Qiqige, Dawa Yangzong, and a group of Li Huayu's little brothers and sisters took turns to invite each other.

Seeing his daughter-in-law returning from the far north with her grandson, Li Muhua, who was easily turning yellow to green, was full of emotion. The rest of the year. She was beaten into the cold palace by Li Shouhan, which can be regarded as a taste of loss. This is not only the warmth of human affection, but also the things she has always thought should belong to her.

Now that the son is doing well in the north, and he has a grandson who is quite favored in front of the master, I think about it in terms of merit, ability, and the orderly order of the young and the old. The position of this heir should belong to Li Huayu.

With this mentality, after a few days of taking turns to feast, Li Muhua was not looking at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha because she was Li Huayu's biological mother, and asked her and Yan Meier to be the chief side by side. tried to steal the limelight of Yan Mei'er several times, but was stopped by Lu Mahong in time.

Lu Ma Hong is really on fire for this mother-in-law. Seeing a vacancy, she and Li Muhua retreated, and Lu Mahong explained the reasons why she took her son to work hard to let a baby follow her to risk south.

Lu Ma Hong's words were suddenly like the unveiling post on the Five Elements Mountain, the six-character mantra "Om Mani Horn Mi Ng", which not only pressed Sun Monkey under the mountain and couldn't move, but also made Li Muhua stunned.

"Mother, if it weren't for the fear that someone would take advantage of this holy decree issued by Emperor Chongzhen to provoke the relationship between father and son in our house, and take the opportunity to attack Huayu, you say, can I work so hard?" Lu Ma Hong's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he looked at Li Muhua very seriously.

She swallowed back a sentence when it came to her mouth, "As a result, your old man was just released from the cold palace by the master, and when he saw that our mother and mother were back, you didn't ask clearly, and you showed your teeth and claws in front of everyone in the inner house." even have to give Mrs. Yan Mei'er a look, do you really think that Mrs. is afraid of you? Think she doesn't have a son? Are you worried that you will have fewer opponents for your son!? ”

However, after all, she is her own mother-in-law, although Lu Mahong is a straightforward woman, she does not lack knowledge of human feelings. In the past few years, he has followed Li Huayu to fight in the north and south, and it is needless to say that he has seen it. In many things, she is much more knowledgeable than Li Muhua, who was born in the deep palace.

That's why she swallowed it back when the words came to her mouth. No matter how arrogant and annoying the woman in front of her is, she is also the biological mother of her father-in-law. It is also to leave some leeway for the prime minister.

However, fortunately, Li Muhua's temper and temperament have changed a lot after more than a year of cold palace experience. The original domineering temperament and edges and corners have been worn away a lot. I also really realized who was the real owner in this Liang Guogong Mansion. Who's the real core!

After this long talk, Li Muhua's temper and temperament have changed greatly, and the stinky temper of flying and domineering in the past has been reduced a lot, and he is a three-point smile when he meets people. (To be continued.) )
