Mao Wenlong went to Xuzhou to inspect in person this time, there is no need to hurry, he can take his time and take it as an autumn outing. So it's slow all the way.

After arriving in Xuzhou, Mao Wenlong slowed down even more, carefully inspected the places he passed through with Hong Chengchou, and discussed future plans.

In this way, Mao Wenlong's purpose of pulling Hong Chengchou over also began to be exposed, obviously to treat Hong Chengchou as a copywriter, and by the way, you can also listen to his opinions.

Although he learned that Mao Wenlong's true purpose was to treat himself as a laborer. Hong Chengchou was not angry, and he was also full of joy to be able to personally participate in such a big project.

The granary of Xuzhou is the key to Mao Wenlong's future development, and if it succeeds, Mao Wenlong's power will expand rapidly in a very short period of time. On the contrary, it is stagnant, and it is likely that Henan will not be able to keep it in the future.

A major livelihood project like this will definitely go down in history, and Hong Chengchou also hopes that he can go down in history one day, so he is willing to be this coolie.

Mao Wenlong's march became slower and slower, and it took him ten days to march from Yexian County to the main city of Xuzhou and arrive at Yejia Village.

During this period, Mao Wenlong had already received a message from Chen Jisheng, saying that he had successfully taken Luoyang City, and began to clean up the small towns in the suburbs, and after doing a good job of sufficient defense, he could attack the next city.

The progress on Chen Jisheng's side is going very well, and Mao Wenlong doesn't have to think about it at all. At least before the imperial court made a large-scale counteroffensive, Mao Wenlong could rest assured that Chen Jisheng would go to fight at will.

Yejiacun had already learned that Mao Wenlong was going to come over for inspection, and Ye Yan had been looking forward to it for several days, and today it was hard to wait for the news that Mao Wenlong had arrived in the main city of Xuzhou. He brought all his officials early in the morning and greeted him outside Yejia Village.

Among these officials, led by Ye Hong, the village chief of Yejia Village, there were more than 30 people, and under the leadership of Ye Hong, they bowed down in front of Mao Wenlong's carriage with several thoughtful manners, and shouted in unison: "See the general soldiers!" ”

Today's Yejia Village has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to half a year ago, and after the river channel was dredged, many canals were dug to divert water for irrigation. In the past, there was a large area of wasteland outside Yejia Village, but now at a glance, it is all green, and there is no end in sight.

The village that was once deserted has now been restored, and it is much more prosperous and lively than before. These can be seen at a glance by the people who are toiling in the fields.

"You don't need to be polite, hurry up!" Mao Wenlong didn't dare to be arrogant, so he quickly jumped out of the carriage, came to Ye Hong, and helped him up.

"Chief soldier, come with us into the village, we have prepared a banquet for you." Ye Hong didn't pretentiously, got up by himself, and then invited Mao Wenlong into the village with a smile on his face.

In the past, Yejia Village was cornered by the imperial court, but now the villagers are not only rich in food and clothing, but also thriving. Especially for the autumn harvest half a month later, if nothing else, there will be no need for Mao Wenlong to transfer grain and grass from Yexian County here in Xuzhou.

On the contrary, there is still surplus food to start giving back to Mao Wenlong's army, and this is just the beginning. It is conceivable that in the future, if it is really as Mao Wenlong thought, the whole of Xuzhou will start to grow grain, it will inevitably be a different scene.

In short, now Xuzhou is an unprecedented good hope, and the people who come here to settle down are also cherished, and even the public security is surprisingly good. There were hardly any homicides in the past six months.

And all this is thanks to the arrival of Mao Wenlong, it is his arrival that has made Xuzhou have this change.

At Ye Hong's invitation, Mao Wenlong followed him into the village, and Hong Chengchou followed closely behind the two, looking at everything here with curiosity on his face.

With the smiles on the faces of the people, Hong Chengchou could feel that their smiles were all sincere, not an illusion arranged by Ye Hong. Starting from these subtleties, Hong Chengchou can quickly judge whether the prosperity in front of him is fabricated.

After entering the village, Mao Wenlong met an old acquaintance, the former leader of the Eagle's Beak Cliff bandits, and now Li Dahu, the president of Xuzhou.

When the eagle's beak cliff was originally returned to Mao Wenlong, it was originally agreed to go to Ye County to disrupt and reintegrate into the army.

However, because of the changes in Henan and the shortage of manpower in Xuzhou, Mao Wenlong asked them to garrison in Xuzhou nearby. And the red lady Li Xiu, who almost killed Mao Wenlong, was sent to Ye County and became a girl next to Chen Lan.

This is also Li Dahu's deliberate action in order to reassure Mao Wenlong, and Mao Wenlong didn't say much? Li Dahu's doing this is reasonable and reasonable, and it can also save both sides a lot of doubts.

"President Li Dahu see the general soldiers!" Li Dahu waited outside the hall, and when he saw Mao Wenlong, he immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Hahaha...... General Li is polite, let's go, let's go inside and talk. Mao Wenlong acted as the master this time and took the lead in entering the hall.

Three tables of banquets have already been prepared in the hall at this moment, and the main characters such as Mao Wenlong are naturally sitting at the middle table, and the remaining secondary characters are arranged at the other two tables.

As soon as everyone sat down, Mao Wenlong laughed and said: "It has been ten days since we started from Ye County, and we have come all the way. The changes in Xuzhou are all seen by the general soldiers, Lord Ye, you should be the first to take the lead. And Mr. Li, you have managed the security of Xuzhou very well, and your credit is not small. ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong's praise by name, Ye Hong and Li Dahu were overjoyed, and they hurriedly got up and said they didn't dare.

Ye Hong said bluntly: "This is all brought to Xuzhou by the general army, and we are just doing what we can." Therefore, if you want to talk about the real meritorious people, it should be the chief soldier. ”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Mao Wenlong's mouth, although Ye Hong's flattery is good, but this wind cannot rise, and it must be nipped in the bud.

"Lord Ye, there is no need to say more good things, if you have merit, you will be rewarded and punished. Doing practical things is the last word, and there can be fewer beautiful words on the lips! Mao Wenlong nodded lightly.

Ye Hong's face immediately changed greatly, and he quickly gathered his thoughts, and apologized to Mao Wenlong: "Thank you for the general soldier." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't mean to blame Ye Hong, he just hoped that they wouldn't become like those people in the court who played tricks all day long but didn't do practical things.

"Okay, the food is almost cold, everyone eats, let's take a walk outside after eating."

Mao Wenlong gave an order that anyone dared not obey, and hurriedly complied, and no one dared to speak at will.

Hong Chengchou looked at Mao Wenlong secretly, and he suddenly found that Mao Wenlong seemed to have never changed much since he knew him. is still the character who likes to do practical things, which makes Hong Chengchou very satisfied, he firmly believes that as long as Mao Wenlong insists on the same and carries forward this tradition of doing more and saying less, he will definitely be able to achieve a great cause in the future.
