In Li Zicheng's heart, he has always been thinking about the Huizhou Mansion to the north of the Yellow River, and to increase the northern barrier and depth for the Lanzhou Mansion, "The prisoners of war who originally belonged to the Jingyu Acropolis, together with their families, were placed around the Huizhou Mansion in the north. ”

Pan Zhang hesitated for a while, but still said: "Governor, they have lived in the city for a long time, and I am afraid that they do not want to go to the desert land in the north......"

Han people love their families, Li Zicheng is deeply aware of the "Spring Festival" tide in later generations, most of them are related to this, and it is extremely difficult to want them to take root in other places, but whether they go to Huizhou or not, they can't help them, and they are exempted from a year's hard labor, which is a great gift, who makes them prisoners of war?

The imperial court will no longer care whether they live or die, and their fate is completely in the hands of the Heavenly Mandate Army!

Li Zicheng turned around and said: "Xiaomi, people are letting out rumors in the city, especially let the families of those prisoners of war know: these prisoners of war in the city are not taking the initiative to surrender, and it is a waste of food to keep them, choose a day, and kill them all!" ”

Pan Zhang was taken aback, his eyes widened and he said, "The Metropolitan Governor ......"

Li Zicheng smiled at him and said, "This favor will be given to Panzhi County by the Governor of Bendu." ”

"Ah......" Pan Shen was also so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, Li Zicheng used this method...... first released rumors that he wanted to kill these prisoners of war, and then Pan Zhang came forward to protect them from the Heavenly Mandate Army, as long as they could survive, these prisoners of war were not kneaded by Pan Zhang? Even if they were exiled in the South China Sea, they were probably still grateful to Pan Zhang from the bottom of their hearts, "Dadudu, these prisoners of war, will they hate the Mandate of Heaven in the future......

"No," Li Zicheng shook his head, "After a long time, they will understand the Heavenly Mandate Army, they are prisoners of war, not only did they save their lives, but the Heavenly Mandate Army also did not treat them badly, although the Huizhou Mansion and Jingyuan County, although separated by the Yellow River, in fact, it is only a hundred miles, and if the road is built in the future, they can still come back to visit relatives and friends." ”

"Subordinates understood!"

"The grass people get it!"

Pan Shen's father and son spoke almost in unison.

"The so-called time to see the hearts of the people, the Mandate of Heaven Army will not treat the people on the earth badly, they will understand sooner or later," Li Zicheng said: "Also, those prisoners of war under Dai Jun'en will be placed further north, near the outer wall, and the governor of Pontus is preparing to set up Luyang County there for the time being. ”

"Luyang County?" This is a new term, and neither father nor son has ever heard of it.

Li Zicheng said: "It is the original Lutang Fort of the Ming Dynasty, with Yitar Mountain in the north and Lushui in the south, which can grow crops, and a thousand cavalry households of the Mandate of Heaven have been stationed here." ”

Hearing that it was once the hometown of the Ming Dynasty, Pan Shen was relieved, thinking that it would not be too far, but Pan Zhang was moved in his heart, is the Mandate of Heaven Army going to restore the land that the Ming Dynasty once lost? This Li Zicheng...... Don't know what you're thinking? Thinking like this, he couldn't help but leave the European Union: "Metropolitan Governor, can you let your subordinates go to Luyang County to serve?" ”

Pan Shen was taken aback, although he didn't know the exact location of Luyang County, he also knew that since he was close to the outer wall, it was the front line of the confrontation with the nomads, and the danger could be imagined!

Pan Zhang is his eldest son and carries the expectations of the entire family......

But in front of Li Zicheng, Pan Shen didn't dare to say anything to stop him, so he had to lower his head and scold Pan Zhang for being a fool in his heart!

Li Zicheng saw the glint in Pan Zhang's eyes, and knew that he was moved by what he said, it seems that this person is also a national element, and he will be of great use in the future. However, he is still young, the form of Luyang County is too complicated, and it is close to the side wall, it is very dangerous, he was born as a son, and he is a civil official, so it is not suitable for the time being, so he said: "Panzhi County will first cure the subordinate Jingyuan County, and then say, this Luyang County can only implement military tun for the time being, and when the situation is more stable, the governor of Bendu will consider it." ”

Pan Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Li Zicheng politely refused, in fact, he still cared about Pan Zhang, he unconsciously raised his head and smiled gratefully at Li Zicheng.

Today's speech, he knows Li Zicheng a little, he has means, calculations, shrewdness, and can also consider others, and he is a businessman, the only thing that can be on the table is the little property at home, since Li Zicheng is like this, he can't help but express it.

He thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Dadu Governor, the grass people worked in the army last time, and the Dadu Governor did not allow it, and today the grass people are willing to donate money and grain, or the amount last time, these money and grain will help the people settle down in the border land!" ”

Li Zicheng was overjoyed, this was a great help to him, every time the people were settled, the governor's office had to take out money and grain, and the more people were resettled, the money and food would be tight, Pan Shen took the initiative to donate money and grain, which could not only make a good reputation, but also solve his own difficulties.

More importantly, Pan Shen donated money and food to help resettle the people, even if he was a fellow party of the Heavenly Mandate Army, from then on, he could only follow the Heavenly Mandate Army with all his heart.

Then he smiled and said: "Merchants can be like Pan Dongzhu, why should the Heavenly Mandate Army worry about big things?" Once the Mandate of Heaven Army succeeds, Pan Dongzhu will be the hero! ”

Pan Shen is also secretly happy, compared with the life of his family and the safety of his eldest son, money is just something outside his body.

At the beginning, he was in the labor army, he was to protect himself, but after the Heavenly Mandate Army entered the city, he did not commit any crime against the people in the city, and he, the largest businessman in Jingyuwei, was also able to be preserved, so that he was impressed by the Heavenly Mandate Army, otherwise, he would not agree to his son serving as Jingyuan Zhixian.

If he was forced to work in the army at the beginning, then today's donation is completely voluntary.

The son served as Jingyuan Zhi County, and he had already thrown himself into the arms of the Heavenly Mandate Army, he could only hang himself on the rope of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and if he was not hanged, it was very likely that the family would prosper.

The last time Li Zicheng did not accept the labor army, it was to swear to the people in the city: the Mandate of Heaven army will never disturb the people; Today, Li Zicheng accepted the donation, which also shows the people that the Mandate of Heaven Army will definitely keep the people's affairs in mind!

Pan Shen understood that no matter what the future of the Pan family was, at least in the matter of the Heavenly Mandate Army entering the city, the Pan family had passed this pass, and he arched his hand and said: "Metropolitan Governor, this is what the grass people should do, and the grass people are businessmen, and they can only do their part for the Heavenly Mandate Army in this way!" ”

"The Governor of Pontus will keep in mind the intentions of the proprietor of Pan, and with the help of the proprietor Pan, the Governor of Pontus will send people to visit the families of these prisoners of war, and as long as they are willing, the Governor of Pontus will send them to Luyang County for reunion, so that the prisoners of war can really take root in the local area." Li Zicheng returned the salute to Pan Shen, and then invited Pan Shen to go to Lanzhou and Xining at a convenient time, perhaps for his business firm, it would also have unexpected benefits.

After returning from the banquet, Li Zicheng first sent Badasi back to Dacaotan, and then immediately summoned Dai Junen.

With the prefect of Dai Junen, the entire Huizhou Mansion can be regarded as a framework.

Liu Zongmin's uncle Han Qing served as the magistrate of Songshan County, Pan Zhang served as the magistrate of Jingyuan County, and there was also Luyang County, where the military camp was temporarily implemented, and the people needed to help repair the border wall, so Li Guo served as the magistrate.

The three counties of Huizhou, plus Gaolan County, which belongs to Lanzhou Prefecture, finally returned to the embrace of the Han people between the inner and outer walls.

What Li Zicheng values is not the output of this land, Huizhou is a transition zone from desert to mountain, and it is not easy for the people to survive, not to mention agricultural taxes, it would be good if the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion did not stick to them.

The importance of Huizhou lies in geography, it is the northern barrier of Lanzhou, with Huizhou in hand, it will advance the defense line to the outer wall, and drive the nomadic tribes outside the border wall, and he can also develop Lanzhou with confidence.

After Li Ji was promoted to guerrilla general, he led his troops back first, and now the 4,000-household garrison has been expanded to Lanzhou, seamlessly connecting with the 3,000-household of Qin Danian, and they are also responsible for reinforcing Li Guo's troops.

Li Zicheng took Zhao Guangrui, left Jingyuan County, slowly marched to Lanzhou, and when he arrived in Lanzhou, Tang Ruowang was pouring the second bridge of the Yellow River in Lanzhou outside the north gate.

Bridge piers have been erected on Hexinzhou, but with the experience of the Yellow River Bridge in Lanzhou, Li Zicheng no longer has to worry about the pouring of the Second Yellow River Bridge, he only exchanged a few words with Tang Ruowang, and even Mei Zhihuan, the governor of Gansu Province, did not meet and returned directly to Xining.

Along the way, Zhao Guangrui was staring at it, not only the people were peaceful and peaceful, but also the novelties were one after another, the cement avenue between Lanzhou and Xining, as well as the Yellow River Bridge in Lanzhou, all made him stunned, as if he was in a fairy tale world.

Zhao Guangrui stopped and went, delayed a lot of trips, and was so anxious that He Xiaomi kept urging, Li Zicheng promised him that after arriving in Xining, let him visit the city for a period of time, and then return to the barracks, so he hurried away.

When he arrived in Xining, Li Zicheng abided by the previous agreement and gave Zhao Guangrui three days to view the city, and after three days, he must be included in the 7,000th Song Wen Department.

The first stop back in Xining, Li Zicheng went directly to the back office of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, Gao Guiying got the message and led the women to greet him as usual.

Li Zicheng greeted them one by one, and even Xiaomei and Xiaolan, the two maids, also took the initiative to come to visit, after being separated for so long, the women naturally wanted to frolic for a while, and even Li Feng, Li Yuxin, and Li Song also came to join in the fun, holding his thighs and wanting the Mongolian head to be kicked as a ball.

Li Zicheng picked up Li Yuxin and pinched her face, "You are a girl, don't be too naughty!" ”

"Daddy is eccentric, so Li Feng and they can be naughty?" Li Yuxin didn't comply, pointed at Li Feng and Li Song with her little hand, and twisted it on Li Zicheng's ear by the way.

Song Yulian was startled, and hurriedly pushed Chen Qiudie secretly, Chen Qiudie smiled and took Xiao Yuxin from Li Zicheng's hand, "Yuxin is good, Daddy just came home from the war, let Daddy rest for a while......"

"Just let Daddy hug her," Xiao Yuxin twisted her body, kicked her mother with two calves, and almost kicked off the embroidered shoes, "Who told Daddy not to bring back the Mongolian head to Yuxin?" Li Feng said that last time, his father brought him back a ......"

"Do you dare to believe that kid's words?" Li Zicheng patted Xiao Yuxin's face, turned around and glared at Li Feng fiercely, so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Sun Mengjie, just secretly turned his head and looked around.

Li Zicheng was about to enter the house, but he felt that something was missing, and he looked around in the crowd.

Gao Guiying sneered, "Zicheng, don't look for it, she's already home!" ”
