Early the next morning, Xu Changqing came to Li Jialin, more than ten miles outside the city, and paid homage to the tomb of Li Shizhong, the old Taishan.

Li Shizhong's tomb is not big, even if he is Li Chengliang's grandson and Li Rusong's son-in-law, but the scale is not as good as many Li family lineages, and even the stone tablet is simple and terrible.

Ma Ke also talked about this matter to Xu Changqing last night, all of this is Li Shizhong's own request, everything is low-key and simple.

This made Xu Changqing feel a little emotional in his heart.

In life, the most difficult thing is to see yourself clearly.

is like the famous saying of later generations: "Accept your own ordinariness, accept the ordinariness of your children......"

Although Li Shizhong does not have the glory of his father and grandfather, at least he understands himself, which is already difficult for countless people to do.

Not far away, Xiu'er looked at Xu Changqing, who was tidying up the tomb, a little aggrieved, but there was some warmth in her heart.

Last night, her poor little ass was about to be opened by Xu Changqing, how aggrieved she was, but at this time, looking back, she suddenly found that she didn't hate this feeling......

Especially last night, Xu Changqing's teaching to her made her understand a lot.

At this time, Xu Changqing doted on her, and she seemed to be able to really have no scruples, but what if she returned to Haicheng? Can she still have no scruples?

Together, there are two benefits, and fighting is two defeats!

After thinking about it, Xiu'er also decided that she had to make some changes, even if it was face-saving.

After all, Bian Yujing is good friends with Kou Baimen, Chen Yuanyuan is good friends with Gu Hengbo, they all have to rely on when they arrive in Haicheng, and she can only rely on Xu Changqing and herself.

After Xu Changqing finished worshipping, he saw that Xiu'er had already gotten together with Bian Yujing and Chen Yuanyuan to talk and laugh, but his small body was occasionally a little twisted, and the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth couldn't help but set off a slight arc.

Xiu'er, this little girl, although there are a lot of problems, but there are also a lot of wonders, fortunately, she is not too stupid, otherwise, no matter how obsessed she is, Xu Changqing will not bother to pay attention to her.

……

The seaside fleet had already stayed here at Shanhaiguan for nearly half a month, and Xu Changqing and his party arrived here at noon.

There are not many ships in the fleet, only five big ships and seven or eight small boats, which are accustomed to Xu Changqing's eyes, but in the eyes of Xiu'er, Bian Yujing, and Chen Yuanyuan, it is as if a new world has been discovered.

It was the first time they had seen such a huge ship!

In contrast, those flower boats in the Qinhuai River are like little brothers......

At this time, the third daughter also felt Xu Changqing's strength more deeply, and at the same time, she couldn't help but look forward to Haicheng even more.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the three women was much more harmonious, Xu Changqing didn't bother to pay attention to them, beckoned them to get on the boat, and began to deal with the backlog of government affairs.

At this time, the population settlement of Haicheng was facing a severe test.

It's not that there isn't enough land and it's not easy to distribute, in fact, the land that Xu Changqing now controls is not only more than enough to settle the hundreds of thousands of people under his rule, but also has a lot of surplus.

The question is how exactly to place it?!

The entrance of the Qing army, whether it is the impact on the political affairs bureau or the people, is a great one!

Shandong Zuo Xiezhi underground, basically all of them are plains, there is no danger to defend, it is easy to settle these people, but if they finally establish a family business, what if the Tartars enter the customs again?

For this problem, Xu Changqing also thought about it exhaustively.

If it is in Denglai, there will definitely be no need for these troubles, the hinterland of Denglai, not only can be defended many cities, but also the islands are continuous and the depth is huge, which can give full play to the advantages of Xu Changqing and the model army.

However, in the Shandong Left Association, everything must have a more complete overall planning, a rainy day, and a complete crisis response plan.

What Xu Changqing can do now is to first grasp the surroundings of Haicheng, especially the east bank of the Daqing River, rely on the natural geographical advantages, form a safe zone, and stabilize his heart first.

However, during this time, Xu Changqing has also been inquiring about the situation in Denglai, and has also collected a lot of useful information.

Although Denglai's administrative level in later generations is not high, in Daming, this is a core fortress and governor level.

There are many historical reasons for this, the logistics system that supplied Dongjiang was one of the cores, and more importantly, it was its unique geographical advantage.

If the wheel of history continues to develop according to the original trajectory, then the position of Denglai will be further improved, and it can even be called the core lifeline of the five thousand miles of rivers and mountains.

But at this time, the Dongjiang River is already in the past, and over the years, Denglai has been very chaotic in terms of political ecology and business ecology, and there is a lot of room for operation.

To put it bluntly, the Dongjiang River is gone, Denglai has also lost its biggest oil and water, and everyone is no longer 'floating'.

At this time, it is not comparable to later generations, Denglai has Yantai, Island City, Weihai and other highly developed second-tier and quasi-second-tier cities, compared with other places, although the business atmosphere of Denglai is not bad, but there is no scale, not to mention Jin merchants, it is not comparable with the 'cousin' Lu merchants.

Moreover, the diseases left by Kong Youde when he rebelled in Shandong were not only many bandits, but also many sea bandits.

Including after the rise of the Qing army, the Liao people fled across the sea for their lives, which also left many hidden dangers.

Coupled with the heavy and complicated guarding.

However, these problems, Denglai's military system not only cannot be solved, but is constantly entangled with these turbulences, and the people at the bottom do not say that the people are not happy, but they are not much different.

This gives Xu Changqing a lot of room to operate!

At this time, although the Wandering People's Army in the northwest seemed docile, and the Qing army had temporarily lost its movement, Xu Changqing knew very well that these two groups of people were desperately accumulating strength, and if the people on both sides did not move, it would be a shock, and the sky would fall apart!

In other places, Xu Changqing couldn't reach it for a while, and he couldn't use his strength, but in the hinterland of Denglai, Xu Changqing had to take it steadily!

……

It is much more comfortable to ride a boat than to ride a horse.

In less than two days, Xiu'er, Bian Yujing, and Chen Yuanyuan had just adapted to the rhythm of seasickness, and were ready to take a look at the scenery by the sea.

"Congratulations on my triumphant return!"

"Congratulations on my triumphant return—"

"Uncle and Princess!"

"Uncle lives a long life......

On the wharf, the Political Affairs Department had already prepared a grand welcome ceremony, with a scale of tens of thousands of people, and as soon as they saw Xu Changqing's fleet arrive, the already excited crowd instantly boiled.

Xu Changqing has long been accustomed to this rhythm, this kind of thing seems to be a bit of a waste of money and money, but in this era, a proper personality cult is a must, on this kind of core issue, whether it is the Political Affairs Bureau or Xu Changqing's back house, especially Xu Changqing's mother Yang, it is tacit.

But Xiu'er and the three daughters were so frightened that their legs were a little weak.

In Shanhaiguan, they can be regarded as having seen battles, but compared to what they are in front of, the one that Ma Ke got in Shanhaiguan is simply pediatric!

As Xu Changqing got off the boat in a heroic manner, this atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.

And the three daughters of Xiu'er, who have been following closely behind Xu Changqing, have also begun to gradually adapt to this atmosphere, and they only feel honored.

"I've seen a handsome man at a low level!"

On the smooth and atmospheric wharf shore paved with bluestone slabs, the Political Affairs Bureau was headed by Li Yan, Yang Zhongliang, Zhang Hongqiang, and others, and the military was headed by Zhao Zengjin, Xu Xiu, and others.

Xu Changqing stepped forward enthusiastically, hugged them one by one, and greeted them.

And Xiu'er, Bian Yujing and Chen Yuanyuan, the three daughters, were watching quietly not far away, these are obviously not mortal big shots.

Especially those generals of the military, one by one, the fierce spirit is almost about to burst out.

But soon, the three daughters all saw that not far from these officials, there were several simple but wide carriages, which were quiet but guarded by countless guards and people.

In front of the carriage, several beautiful women who seemed to be plainly dressed, but were extremely graceful and had big bellies, looked at this side and laughed, while hugging a noble lady in a blue robe in the middle.

But the lady in the blue robe seemed to be laughing with the beauties around her, but her tears had already been uncontrollably surging.

The three girls glanced at each other, and they were all a little indescribably silent.

It doesn't need to be introduced at all, it's so easy to tell.

The blue-robed lady must be Xu Changqing's mother-in-law, the legendary old lady Yang.

And beside the Yang family, the graceful and atmospheric woman in white is naturally Xu Changqing's wife, the legendary eldest lady of the Li family.

Although they have passed the Xu Changqing pass at this time, they can be regarded as entering the Xu family, but if they want to truly enter the Xu Mansion and become the real Xu family, they must have the graceful and atmospheric Li family's eldest lady nod!

At this time, Xu Changqing finished greeting with the dignitaries of the military and government, and hurriedly walked towards the direction of the Yang family, Li Youwei, Gu Hengbo and others, and knelt down in front of the Yang family: "Unfilial son Changqing, kowtow to your mother." ”

"You stinky boy, you still know to come back. Hurry up, hurry up......"

Even though the Yang family has long been accustomed to seeing big scenes, but at this time, this kind of scene is also the first time she has experienced, and she wants to put her mother's shelf in front of Xu Changqing, but she is afraid of making her baby son ugly, so she hurriedly helps Xu Changqing up.

After Xu Changqing and the Yang family finished their salutes, they hugged Li Youwei and the daughters one by one, and the cheers of the surrounding people reached a new peak.

However, this will be the beginning for this welcoming ceremony.

Let the Yang family and Li Youwei and their female dependents go to the carriage to rest first, while Xu Changqing climbed the high platform that had been prepared a long time ago, held the loudspeaker carefully developed by the armory, and delivered an enthusiastic speech to the tens of thousands of people.

The main thing is to let the people feel at ease, miss the past, look forward to the future, so that everyone can better form a cohesive force and regard the Shandong Left Association as a real home.

In this regard, Xu Changqing has long been familiar with it, and he spoke for most of the hour without a manuscript, and many people who listened directly were enthusiastic and cheered.

In the end, Xu Changqing announced that Haicheng held a flowing water banquet for three consecutive days, and everyone had a share, which immediately brought the atmosphere to the climax.

Arriving at the dock from Chen, he was busy until noon, and Xu Changqing was able to take a break and get into the carriage back home.

Of course, the carriage is naturally in the same car as Li Youwei.

When she left, Li Youwei had not yet shown her pregnancy, and at this time, after a few months, her lower abdomen had already bulged, and her pretty face was also plump.

Although it is still a little green, the holy maternal brilliance can no longer be hidden.

"Youwei, these days, I'm not here, I've worked hard for you."

In the carriage, Xu Changqing held Li Youwei's jade hand vigorously, full of affection.

Li Youwei's pretty face suddenly flushed slightly, "Xu Lang, these days, it's going well in Beijing, right?" ”

Seeing that Li Youwei didn't say anything about Xiu'er's three daughters, Xu Changqing also relaxed a lot, and hurriedly laughed and talked to Li Youwei all over the world.

Until he arrived at the door of the official hall, Xu Changqing thought that Li Youwei had forgotten about it, and was smiling and preparing to take Li Youwei out of the car to eat, but Li Youwei suddenly smiled and said: "Xu Lang, those three beauties, you, how are you going to arrange?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, I found that it seemed impossible to get through this matter in a fool's way......
