The ghost master used to control the more than 500 elite horsemen under his command, and the main way was to use the land to tie them together.

The few of these people have also been controlled by the ghost master for a year or two, and the most have been seven or eight years. In the past nine years, most of them have become biological children, and they have all gathered in the area of Guyun Temple.

These people are the core of the ghost master and the cornerstone of protecting his core interests!

If these people didn't start a family and didn't have wives and children, Xu Changqing would definitely not be able to use them, and they would be cleaned by various means.

But they have a family and a business, and the matter is much more relaxed.

The ghost master used to sell them a small part of the land, but then rented them a large head, and then gave them a monthly salary, which was similar to the family in Jiubian.

Xu Changqing dealt with this similarly, directly using the land to win them over.

However, it was not the good land around the Guyun Temple, but they were disrupted and arranged everywhere.

The farther and farther you go, the more land you get.

Then, directly accept all of them as full-time soldiers, led by Zhang Hu.

It may take a month or two or even more to deal with all this, but their training must begin first, especially ideological education.

What makes Xu Changqing excited is that many of these people are not collected at night, and they have been polishing in Shandong for several years, and they are extremely experienced.

This means that Xu Changqing not only has more than 500 cavalry and thousands of horses at once, but also more than 500 more nights!

This instantly made up for Xu Changqing's biggest shortcoming, and made Xu Changqing like a tiger with wings, like a tiger with wings!

……

Although there are still many things to deal with here, Xu Changqing needs to stabilize it personally, but Xu Changqing is really a little lacking in skills at this time.

Zhanhua is indeed fat, but Xu Changqing's roots are still in Haicheng, and he must still focus on Haicheng.

Leaving Zhang Hu to lead more than 600 cavalry to be stationed in Liujiabao, at the same time, Xu Changqing was operated by Gonggong Li, and Dong Lifu was promoted to one level, promoted to guerrilla, and stationed in Zhanhua, to coordinate the affairs of Zhang Hu's side, that is, to prepare to lead the main force back to Haicheng.

On the morning when Xu Changqing was about to return to Haicheng, the documents of the Ministry of War arrived, and Dong Lifu, who had worked hard for most of his life, finally crossed the hurdle of thousands of households and came directly to the throne of guerrillas.

This made Dong Lifu so happy that he was about to explode, and he kowtowed to Xu Changqing desperately, and his old tears were all over the place.

How could he have thought that things that he couldn't think of before would be easily solved in front of the man in front of him with just one sentence......

That's how cruel the world is.

The things that ordinary people feel difficult to reach the sky are just a matter of words for those bigwigs who stand on the cusp.

"Hehe, Lao Dong, you're still a good person, work hard, don't let me down."

Liujiabao camp.

In Xu Changqing's big tent, Xu Changqing smiled and patted Dong Lifu's shoulder.

Although Dong Lifu's ability is not too outstanding, it is by no means bad, otherwise it would not be possible to get into this position, the key is that this guy is very clever and familiar with the situation in Zhanhua and the surrounding area, which is very suitable for doing this.

Of course, if he behaves well in the future, Xu Changqing will not hesitate to pull him into the car and give him a better future.

"Uncle, don't talk about the superfluous words, in the future, you will see the performance of the lowly position!"

Dong Lifu understood people, and he didn't say anything more, he wiped his nose and tears and nodded heavily.

Not to mention Xu Changqing's world-shattering reputation, at this time, Xu Changqing not only forgave him for his sin of seeking skin with the tiger, rescued his wife and children, but also promoted him through this moat and gave him so much trust.

If he Dong Lifu doesn't do it well, then, God may not be able to stand it.

……

At the end of the day, Xu Changqing and his main force officially set off and returned to Laochao Haicheng.

When he came, in order to hurry up and avoid the terrain, he walked half of the sea route, at this time, it was already spring, and the weather was gradually warmer, Xu Changqing did not choose to take the sea route, but took the land route.

After all, Zhanhua is only two hundred miles away from Haicheng, and it will take three days at most.

Xu Changqing also needs to use this down-to-earth way to let the people in this land feel his Xu Changqing's existence more truly and feel the breath of his sons.

No surprises.

Xu Changqing's plan was very successful.

Because the evil ghost gang was wiped out, the security in a large area around it was instantly much better.

Xu Changqing: Every time they pass through a village, they will meet the warm welcome of the common people, many of whom are slaughtering pigs and sheep to reward the king.

Even if Xu Changqing later explicitly forbade the people to spend so much money, just drink a glass of water and wine, but somehow, after the people killed pigs and sheep, Xu Changqing gave money, and the price was higher than the market price, so that the people behind him were crazy.

If you kill two pigs in your village, I will have to kill three.

If you kill three, then I have to kill four.

Jump right into the race.

This made Xu Changqing cry and laugh for a while, and he could only explicitly order that no one would kill him in the future and not give money, which was the only way to stop this unhealthy trend.

However, because of the delay of these things, Xu Changqing and his sons walked for six days, and then they returned to Haicheng.

But that's not a bad thing.

At this time, Xu Changqing's influence has gradually begun to take root in this land.

……

The changes in Haicheng are becoming more and more obvious.

Although Xu Changqing had played a wave of cooking before, letting Yang Zhongliang and them also name and participate, this only deepened their sense of identity and belonging to Haicheng, and when they really chose their names, it was naturally Xu Changqing's words.

At this time, after several months of hard work, the underground waterway project in Haicheng has basically been completed, and the construction of surface buildings has begun.

And the first of these is Xu Changqing's official hall, Zhongyi Uncle's Mansion!

Most of the buildings in the entire mansion will be framed with stones, covering an area of fifty acres, like a giant city, so that Xu Changqing is also a little speechless.

In fact, Xu Changqing's requirements for the mansion are not too strict, almost enough, and Liujiabao is already very luxurious.

But as soon as Xu Changqing said this idea, he was openly opposed by Yang Zhongliang and others.

Especially Wang Hai and his stonemasons, they couldn't wait to isolate themselves in front of Xu Changqing.

In the end, Xu Changqing could only agree with their opinions.

The main thing is that they have already selected the stones, and the manpower is all slaves, free of charge, Xu Changqing brought back more than 600 strong laborers from Zhanhua this time, and the real cost is not large.

Xu Changqing didn't want his mother, Li Youwei, and Wu Sanmei to suffer with him, and he still wanted the quality of life and appearance he should have.

In fact, Xu Changqing wanted to build some castles like the West, but the cost was smaller, and he could occupy an island and the like on his own.

But the current conditions obviously do not allow it, and we can only wait for later.

In addition to Xu Changqing's mansion, the houses of ordinary people have also begun to be built rapidly.

After all, even if you live in a shantytown, you can still live in a shantytown, how can it be as comfortable as this real house?

Non-stop around the many construction sites in Haicheng, and checked several fishing spots, when it was getting dark, Xu Changqing returned to the temporary official hall, really relaxed, and was ready to talk to his mother about the land after eating.

Originally, Xu Changqing didn't want to arrange the Xu family's land under his nose, after all, Haicheng is the core of the core, and Xu Changqing wants to set aside the surrounding land and reward it to the meritorious soldiers.

If it is all given to the Xu family, then, what reward will Xu Changqing get in the future?

And after eating the ghost master, this matter is much simpler, the ghost master's land, let alone selling it to the Xu family, even if it is sold to the Li family in Shanhaiguan, it is almost enough.

Of course, in the future, Xu Changqing will definitely continue to do the work of his mother and the Li family, so that the focus of their property will gradually shift to industry and commerce in the future.

Back at home, Yang had been waiting for a long time with a group of girls.

Seeing Xu Changqing come back, led by Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, a group of girls saluted Xu Changqing one after another.

What made Xu Changqing a little speechless was that the girl from Yishui actually came over.

Seeing Xu Changqing looking at her, the pretty face of the Yishui girl suddenly turned red, and it took a moment to react: "I've seen it, I've seen my uncle......"

In fact, the girl of Yishui had long wanted to come to see Xu Changqing, and she wanted to come over just after the New Year, but Zhu Youdi stopped her.

After all, in Zhu Youdi's consciousness, girls must still be reserved, even if Xu Changqing is very good, the children and grandchildren of their old Zhu family can't catch up, right?

The days passed day by day, although Xu Changqing and Miss Yishui had correspondence, Xu Changqing was too busy, from the beginning of seven or eight days, to one month later, and recently it has been more than a month, and he has not responded to Miss Yishui.

Especially after the news spread that Xu Changqing had exterminated the ghost master, Zhu Youdi finally couldn't sit still.

Others don't know the background of the ghost master, but he knows some.

Even though he didn't have deep contact with the ghost master, the two sides had cooperated in business several times, and Zhu Youdi also understood the depth and horror of the ghost master.

However, who would have thought that in this short period of time, Xu Changqing was like a thunderbolt, and he directly beat the ghost master and uprooted him!

The ghost master is dead, and Xu Changqing's influence in the northeast of the mountain will definitely reach a new level, and it will definitely reach the heavens.

Even the old heroes like the Wu family and the Li family are in a hurry to send their daughters to the door, so what is he embarrassed about Zhu Youdi?

So, there was a water girl on this trip.

Seeing that the girl Yishui was embarrassed, and her son couldn't come back to his senses for a while, Yang Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "Hehe, Yishui, don't be too restrained, come on, come on, everyone sit, Changqing is back, let the kitchen prepare to serve." Master She's craftsmanship is a must. ”

"Oh, good aunt."

A group of girls who were not too friendly to Yishui Girl were also attracted to attention instantly, and the slightly tense atmosphere quickly eased up.

Xu Changqing also relaxed a lot at this time, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Yang to greet her: "Mother, the child is back." How are you doing these days? ”

Yang glared at Xu Changqing angrily: "You stinky boy don't bother me in front of me, can I be in bad health?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment, isn't this his mother?

But after a while, Yang couldn't keep his face anymore, and hurriedly got up to check Xu Changqing's body, "Stinky boy, you're not injured, are you?" ”

Xu Changqing also came back to her senses at this time, the old lady in front of her was angry about the matter of the Yishui girl, she obviously already knew the identity of the Yishui girl.

Hurriedly smiled: "Mother, I am not injured." Maybe it's the blessing of the ancestors, there are basically no wars, and it's still going well. ”

The two of them had a brief greeting, and the dishes had already come up, so they sat down at the table together.

At this time, there were already seven or eight people who could serve the table.

Xu Changqing glanced around, and was also a little secretly speechless.

Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Chu Xue, Xian'er, Gu Hengbo, Kou Baimen, Peony, plus Yishui girl......

Well, two tables of mahjong are enough.

And a few little girls such as Rui'er and Ah Duo who were waiting next to them looked at the table with indescribable envy.

They obviously really want to be able to sit and eat here every day.

Xu Changqing was a little big for a while.

No wonder the ancients said, 'From thrift to luxury'.

Looking at this picturesque face, Yang's heart is also indescribable.

originally thought that Xu Changqing would be able to catch Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, but it was already green smoke on the ancestral grave, and Xu Changqing's father appeared.

But who would have thought that there would be another golden doll that is not inferior to them......

It's a blissful annoyance.
