At lunch that day, Li Zicheng went home to eat, Sun Mengjie, Chen Qiudie, and Song Yulian heard that Li Zicheng was going to travel again, not only were they very worried and disappointed, but Li Zicheng is now in control of Xining, and it is actually impossible for him to surround him every day like an ordinary person.

This meal, eating tastelessly, Li Zicheng was annoyed, Ma Qiao, this time I went to inspect, not a war, what is there to worry about, "What's wrong with you?" Lao Tzu was originally a military attaché, did he want to see if Lao Tzu was powerful enough? ”

Song Yulian was taken aback, although she had the experience of a threesome, but the foursome had never been tried, Chen Qiudie was her daughter, she had lived together since she was a child, although Sun Mengjie entered the door of the Li family and ate together every day, but after all, there was some raw points, with Li Zicheng's temperament, she couldn't really try the foursome during the day, and she was busy with a smile and said: "Don't be angry, aren't we worried about the safety of adults?" The safety of adults is not only related to this family, but also to the whole of Xining. ”

Li Zicheng showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: "It's still Lian'er who can speak, so I'll bypass you this time, but when I come back from the mill, I'll slowly clean you up." ”

The three of them suddenly had black lines on their faces, and finally Sun Mengjie said, "Sir, student...... The students have a ...... It's really ......" She also knows about Li Zicheng's threesome, but she is really not used to a foursome.

"Ao, I was about to talk to you about this question," Li Zicheng was worried that Sun Mengjie was pregnant, and it would be difficult for him to take care of himself, so he said to Song Yulian: "Lian'er, Jie'er's body is a little inconvenient, you are from here, these days, you have to take care of him more!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Song Yulian hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"My lord, Sister Song," Sun Mengjie frowned lightly and said, "I know you have good intentions, but I want to...... I want to see my parents, why don't I go back and stay for a few days! ”

If Sun Mengjie returns to her father's mother, she will naturally get the best care, the Sun family is in charge of Xihuang Restaurant, and the conditions should not be worse, Li Zicheng thought about it and agreed, "That's fine, I'll let Sun Lin send you back in the afternoon, and when I come back, I'll take you home!" ”

Sending Sun Mengjie away, the Houya suddenly became Li Zicheng's world, starting from mid-afternoon, Li Zicheng forcibly pushed Song Yulian and Chen Qiudie down on the kang and was busy until dark.

Song Yulian saw that it was already dark, and said, "My lord, the maid is going to cook!" ”

Li Zicheng just let her go, "You go cook first, Die'er stays, and then come and call us when dinner is ready." ”

Song Yulian got up and got dressed, and left the room, Chen Qiudie begged: "My lord, let's rest, ...... at night ...... again in the evening Good no good? ”

Li Zicheng laughed, and his big hand slid over Chen Qiudie's chest, "Do you still want to do it at night?" Come, I'll solve you before dinner, and then I'll solve your mother in the evening...... Hey, Die'er, your cotton peach seems to be a lot bigger......"

After feeding Song Yulian's mother and daughter, Li Zicheng took his own soldiers early in the morning and went to the mill place, a distance of more than 100 miles, the cavalry could arrive in one day, and before the sky was dark, he had already rushed to the mill place, Liu Yunshui received the message, and he had already greeted him out of the city, turned over and worshipped.

"My lord came so quickly, I didn't think I would be here today!"

"Yunshui doesn't need to be polite, get up and talk back," Li Zicheng jumped off his horse and threw the reins of the horse to his own soldiers, "It's not your discovery that attracted me, how about it, what did you find?" ”

"My lord," Liu Yunshui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked around, and said, "When I took over the Sanchuan camp, I discovered this terrain. ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Yunshui is a soldier, it is not surprising that he can observe the terrain, but it is gratifying to be able to link the terrain with farming. ”

"My lord, near the mouth of the river, there is almost a flat river, and the water here is abundant, so it should be an ideal place for farming."

"Ao, since it is an ideal place for farming, was there no common people to cultivate it in the first place?"

"My lord, it was originally a military camp, and the cultivators were all soldiers' families, but the number is not large, and a large amount of land is barren, if you want to strengthen farming, you need to increase the number of people."

Li Zicheng still has doubts, that is, in later generations, there was no mega city here, the population was not concentrated, and the population was not concentrated, in the final analysis, it was the local area that could not support a large number of people, but Liu Yunshui said that there was already farming here, which should be suitable for farming.

What is the reason why the population here is not concentrated to a certain extent? Is it war? But in the Central Country, where is there no war after hundreds of years? The more concentrated the population, the more frequent the wars, and there is no abnormal distribution of the population because of the war.

"Yunshui, it's late today, I'll go and see it myself tomorrow, and then ask the people nearby."

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates listen to your lord."

"How's the mill, is it still stable?" Li Zicheng came this time, and by the way, he also wanted to inspect the Nian Bo Institute, that is, the newly established Ledu County, in Li Zicheng's mind, this is already Ledu County, but to the outside world, and even the local people, it is still the Nian Bo Institute.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the subordinates will monitor the officers and the town guards in accordance with the system of Xining," Liu Yunshui did not hide his pride, "The attendants in their family all have soldiers involved, and they are under surveillance for twelve hours a day, if they are well-behaved and act according to our will, they have their own wives and concubines to warm the kang, in case they are half-hearted, just wait to be loyal to the court!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded slightly, "Yunshui, the Nian Bo Institute is a newly recovered place, it is not an exaggeration to monitor it closely, but gradually relax, people, if you are in this environment for a long time, even the happiness of the husband and wife will be stared at, and it will be strange if you are not driven crazy!" ”

"What your lord is saying is that subordinates will gradually relax their surveillance of them, as long as they show enough sincerity."

"How's the brothers? Singapore has not been able to go home, but what are the complaints? ”

"Don't worry, the brothers are living well, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the subordinates prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, and they ate one by one with their mouths full of oil."

"Well, Yunshui has a heart," Li Zicheng paused, and said: "Of course it is important to eat well, the key is the mood of the soldiers, after training, you must care more about the soldiers, you will really treat them as brothers, and they will become your brothers." ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates have been taught," Liu Yunshui hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "My lord, my subordinates ...... The subordinates set up a fruit building in the mill, and the brothers ...... Especially the brothers from Ganzhou, the homesickness is also much lighter......"

"Fruit House?" Li Zicheng glared, "You've learned this, where did the people inside come from?" ”

Liu Yunshui was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "My lord, my subordinates definitely didn't disturb the people, the people in the fruit building were the dependents of an officer who was killed during the raid on the Nianbo, and the number is not large, and now there are only six people." ”

Li Zicheng frowned slightly, "There are really only six people?" If you set up a fruit building, why can't you report it? If I find out that you are forced to be a prostitute, you will wait to go to the water building to be a big teapot! ”

"My subordinates will never dare to expire my lord!" Liu Yunshui kowtowed like pounding onions, and used the sound of "boom" to show his heart.

"Get up, don't take it as an example," Li Zicheng said leisurely: "What are we embarking on this road for?" Is it just for the sake of living a good life for ourselves? If so, what is the difference between it and the thieves in Shaanxi? ”

"The difference?" Liu Yunshui said in his heart, aren't we thieves now? The only difference with the Shaanxi thieves is that they are in Shaanxi, and we are in Xining.

"Yunshui, it seems that you still don't understand," Li Zicheng sighed leisurely, "Let's go, let's go into the city!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Liu Yunshui hurriedly led Li Zicheng and led Li Zicheng into the hall of the Nian Bo Institute.

Liu Yunshui's personal soldiers had already served tea to Li Zicheng.

"Yunshui," Li Zicheng sat on the main seat by his own care, "Maybe you think that we are the same as the thieves in Shaanxi, but in fact, there is a big difference between them. ”

"Your Excellency?"

"Yes, we are the same as the thieves in Shaanxi, from the perspective of the imperial court, we are all anti-thieves," Li Zicheng stared at Liu Yunshui's eyes, "but the essential difference between us and the thieves in Shaanxi is the attitude towards the people. ”

"My lord," Liu Yunshui suddenly came to his senses, "My subordinates have some understanding, my lord, this is to protect the territory and the people!" ”

"Protecting the territory and the people? There is a bit of this meaning, "Li Zicheng is quite satisfied, this Liu Yunshui, not only is he a good hand at fighting, but his comprehension is also good, and he has been reusing him in vain, "We rebelled, not only for ourselves to live a good life, but also to let the people who depend on us live a good life together, and the thieves in Shanxi are just for themselves, and the people in the territory not only nourish them, but also their tools to deal with the imperial army." ”

"My lord, my subordinates have been taught!" Liu Yunshui's eyes were slightly constricted, and his heart was even more surging, adults are not things in the pool, this is going to the sky, if it is ...... He bowed his hand to Li Zicheng, "In the future, my subordinates will definitely act according to the will of the adults." ”

"Yunshui, you and I are like brothers, I will say these words, I hope you can be my right-hand man, for this goal, sometimes, we even have to give up our immediate interests," Li Zicheng paused, and said: "If we hurt the people who depend on us, then who will support us in the future?" Who will provide us with the troops? And who grows food for us? ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand."

"It's good to know," Li Zicheng finally smiled, "This kind of thing in the fruit building, don't force the people's women to enter, as long as there is one time, after the people's word of mouth, we have become an army with corrupt military discipline, then the army we have worked hard to train, in the eyes of the people, is similar to the army of the imperial court, and even with the bandits." ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely uphold the honor of the soldiers," Liu Yunshui got up, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said: "If your Excellency objects, your subordinates will immediately dissolve the fruit building." ”

"There's no need for this," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "These women are not ordinary people, they should have been beheaded along with the men in the family, and the waste utilization can be regarded as making some contributions to the soldiers." ”

"Waste utilization? That's right! Liu Yunshui's face only bloomed with a smile at this time.

"Yunshui, Lord Ben is hungry, hurry up to prepare dinner, rest early after eating, tomorrow, Lord Ben will personally inspect the place where the three rivers meet."

"Yes, sir!" Liu Yunshui summoned a personal soldier and ordered him to prepare dinner immediately.
