"Hahahaha, congratulations brother, congratulations brother and sister, brother and sister are late to hear the happy letter, the joy is late, and I hope to atone for my sins." I didn't see anyone, but I heard Zheng Hongda's usual hearty laughter first, as well as the blessings from my heart.

Lu Shi jumped out of the shoulder as soon as he grabbed it, Chunlan also jumped out of the car neatly, and Lu Shi and Lu Shi both stepped forward to meet the brother Zheng Hongda, who had always taken Lu Shi as his younger brother, as a husband and wife.

Zheng Hongda walked quickly from afar, and he got closer, but it also made Lu Shi understand.

The original black hair has been snow-white, and the original fat body has been dry and thin, but the original gloomy and melancholy face, although there are countless wrinkles, has been replaced by the spirit sent to the heart, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as refreshed.

Zheng Hongda, as the first businessman who took the initiative to contact Lu Shi and became a confidant after a long talk overnight, later played a pivotal role in the process of the construction of the base area, and even made several contacts, so that he had a better understanding of the base created by Lu Shi.

These exploits Lu Shi and other brothers in the army are remembered, but because of the support of the base industrial products, Zheng Hongda's business is more prosperous, especially in the monopoly of sabers and guns and other weapons, which makes Zheng Hongda make a lot of money, although Zheng Hongda has repeatedly taken the initiative to raise the price of products in the base area, but the unique goods still make him invincible.

The business is bigger, and there is no need for him to come in person to communicate, all of his subordinates are taken care of here, and there are many fewer opportunities for everyone to meet, but at this time, I don't know why, but his old brother came in person, is it really happy for himself to get married? Lu Shi thought.

Of course, the brothers were happy to see each other, but their shoulders were narrow, but they couldn't sit down for three people, so Lu Shi ordered the Chinese army to give an order, and the army rested on the side of the road.

So the three of them smiled and walked to the depths of the forest on the side of the road, looking for a quiet place, ready to talk freely.

Zheng Hongda's brother had already let his family spread thick felt, lit a bonfire, and roasted a whole sheep to prepare, which was a rare stroke of the thrifty Zheng Hongda.

The three of them humbly sat down on the blanket with each other, Zheng Hongda smiled and groped in his arms for a long time, and then took out a small box, handed it to Chunlan and said with a smile: "Brother is married, why didn't you give news?" Fortunately, I, who is an elder brother, still have a good nose, and I still have time to make up for the gift, which means that I hope not to make my younger siblings laugh and say that my brother is stingy. ”

Lu Shi hurriedly explained that this big wedding really doesn't want everyone in Jingdong, it's simple, as long as it doesn't affect the love of husband and wife, even if it is a travel marriage, it is willing.

Zheng Hongda didn't understand the late marriage of tourism, and he didn't ask.

Chunlan is a bold character, she doesn't mean to blame him at all, and having this old brother as a younger brother and sister has already made her heart flutter, where do you care about the high and low gifts? happily took it, and then put it in his sleeve without looking at it, this move was even more liked by Zheng Hongda, and he laughed even more happily at that time.

But Lu Shidu muttered and complained: "My brother is really stingy, but I don't know that my brother and I owe tens of thousands of yuan to the government for this wedding, not to mention that I will have a big red envelope and a little famine, it's really not enough buddy." ”

"Pull it down." Zheng Hongda laughed and waved his hand at Lu Shiyi. "You deserve the famine, I don't dare to pay it back to you, if I really give you back or give you a big red envelope, don't be two days, Mr. Zhao Zi doesn't talk to you and has to get me a bribe, then I will completely lose the opportunity to communicate with the base area, this is a matter of losing money to accompany home, you can't frame me."

Now Zheng Hongda can be said to be rich and rival the country, as a businessman, he can enjoy the same life as a king, but as a businessman full of loyalty to the king and love the people, he is not happy. In the court, there are clear gentlemen who are full of empty talk, for these gentlemen, as long as the state affairs are said, it is equivalent to doing, but who will do the real things? Running around the empire, what he saw and heard made him worried, and only under Lu Shi's rule could he make him laugh.

Looking at Lu Shi, who is maturing and doing the boss's career, Zheng Hongda's thoughts are entangled, from the perspective of Zhongjun, he is unwilling to see Lu Shi become bigger, but from the perspective of loving the people, he sincerely hopes that Lu Shi will become bigger so as to shelter more people.

Match Lu Shi to return to the imperial court? This idea is not unprecedented, but he also knows how naïve his thoughts are, don't say whether Lu Shi is willing or not, the most important thing is that he deeply knows that even if Lu Shi is willing, but the Donglin of the Manchu Dynasty can tolerate an outlier who is not empty talk? The answer is yes, no.

And if Lu Shi is really allowed to stand on top of the court, then what is waiting will be a cup of hope suffocated to death, and Lu Shi is gone, so is there still any hope for this Ming Dynasty? It will not be, so Zheng Hongda is tormented in this contradiction and entanglement.

However, this time Lu Shi attacked Li Zicheng's rogue, but it greatly made Zheng Hongda happy, no matter what the purpose of Lu Shi's brother, to exterminate Li Zicheng, the biggest rogue now, is a great good thing for the court and the people, so this time, Lu Shi took out this method of buying military supplies from merchants along the way, Zheng Hongda was not only curious, but also personally supervised his caravans, and went all out to complete the order, without any mistakes.

"Brother, the materials you ordered for this expedition have been prepared by my brother's subordinates, this is the list, please take a look." As soon as Zheng Hongda sat down, he summoned the shopkeeper in charge of this piece to come and hand the list of materials he brought this time to Lu Shi.

Lu Shi said with a smile: "It's to let my brother bother, I can ensure the needs of my army, and my brother is the first major achievement." As he spoke, he handed the list to Wang Jian, who was close behind, and ordered him to hand it over to the logistics manager of the army.

"Your trick is really good, it doesn't disturb the people, but also reduces the burden of transshipment, so you can kill multiple birds with one stone." Zheng Hongda sincerely sighed at Lu Shi's approach, "If the Ming army is implemented according to your method, where will there be this Qinwang army, and the place it passes through is like a flood?" Where are the countless pole homeless people added again? Zheng Hongda said here, and the originally happy mood fell again.

When Lu Shi saw it, he hurriedly persuaded him: "In fact, my method can only be used in my base area, but it is inappropriate to put it in other places, for the imperial court, just blocking people's financial path is already the biggest dilemma, not to mention that the imperial court does not have the financial resources to solve it." ”

After pondering for a while, Zheng Hongda couldn't help nodding, "What my brother said is that in the imperial court, as long as the army moves, I don't know how many people are red-eyed and waiting to get rich, although the small people's family is ruined, what does that have to do with those bastards?" Alas—"

was said by Zheng Hongda, and the atmosphere became cold in a blink of an eye, although sitting around the bonfire, it was also cold.

"Okay, okay, it's rare for you two brothers to see each other, just say these frustrating words, and you are in a bad mood for no reason." Seeing this, Chunlan hurriedly diverted the conversation: "It's still important to eat meat, come, hurry." ”

When Zheng Hongda heard this, he looked up, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this is a good season, it is to eat meat and drink wine, don't mention those discouraged words, come, brother, I will toast you first." As he spoke, he shone the wine bowl handed over by the servant to Lu Shi, and then drank it in one gulp.

The wine is a specialty of Shaanxi, old white dry, strong and mellow, a bowl down, a breath, is indescribably comfortable.

As soon as he mentioned drinking, Lu Shi lost interest, just drank a little and put it down, Zheng Hongda saw it, and couldn't help but ask cautiously tentatively: "What, brother, what are the problems on this expedition?" If it's not a military secret, you might as well say that the old brother may be able to help one or two. ”

Lu Shi didn't fake it, and at the same time, there was really no negotiable manpower around him, so he told the old brother what he was trapped in truthfully.

When Zheng Hongda heard Lu Shi's troubles, he couldn't help laughing happily again. "Hahaha, my brother was worried about this, but now you asked the right person, I can really help a lot this time."

When Lu Shi saw Zheng Hongda laughing and saying that, he only thought that the old brother was relieved, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, but he didn't speak.

Zheng Hongda saw that Lu Shi didn't believe it, so he waved his hand to the servants standing behind him, those servants were interested, quickly put down the work in their hands, and went away one after another, and the personal bodyguards who followed Zheng Hongda also walked far away to the place where they couldn't hear the master's conversation and went to be on guard.

Seeing him behave like this, Lu Shi knew that he had something important to say to himself, so he smiled and waited for him to follow.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the left vicinity, Zheng Hongda tilted his body, brought his mouth to Lu Shi, lowered his voice to the lowest, and whispered: "Brother, I came this time, not only to raise food and grass for my brother along the way, but also to tell my brother about a big event." ”

"Why do you want my brother to come here?" Lu Shi asked confusedly.

"Just the day before yesterday, Governor Hong Chengchou sent someone to me, asking me to communicate with my brother."

As soon as Hong Chengchou was mentioned, Lu Shi immediately mentioned the spirit, Zheng Hongda and Lu Shi are good friends, which is obvious to everyone, but Zheng Hongda is popular and generous, especially Zheng Hongda also fully supports the southern counterinsurgency, so the court did not take him seriously, but Hong Chengchou took the initiative to talk to Zheng Hongda about things but it was beyond Lu Shi's expectations.

"Governor Hong asked me to bring you a message, this time to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, whether it is public or private, I will fully cooperate with you." Looking at Lu Shi's surprised expression, Zheng Hongda said in a low voice again: "Brother, don't believe it, just yesterday, Governor Hong had already moved his troops to Shangluo and blocked Li Zicheng's southern escape gate. ”

When Lu Shi heard the news, he immediately became happy, this is indeed a thing worthy of his own happiness, "So, what does Hong Chengchou ask us to do?" ”

"Governor Hong said that this alliance can only be tacitly understood."

Lu Shi nodded, this can indeed only be a tacit thing, otherwise, those clear streams will make Hong Chengchou die without a place to be buried.

"Also, I beg my brother, after Lord Hong moves his troops, don't let your men and horses copy the back road, and when Li Zicheng is eliminated in the future, everyone will see you when you fight to the death."

"Okay." Lu Shi slapped his thigh and readily agreed to Hong Chengchou's request.

Seeing that Lu Shi readily agreed to Hong Chengchou's request, Zheng Hongda landed with a stone, but after thinking about it, he was worried about Lu Shi. However, in this way, is it forcing Li Zicheng and his brother to work hard? In this way, it may be possible for you, brother—"

"Hahaha." Lu Shi smiled and said confidently: "Brother, don't worry, Li Zicheng?" I'm not taking it seriously yet. ”

At this time, what Lu Shi showed was a kind of heroism that defied the world.
