Li Mao turned his gaze to the far east, where there was a powerful country and an eloquent monarch, the Bohai Kingdom. ，。 hua

Is it really time to have a showdown with the Bohai State now, in order to train troops or to expand its power, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and it is often impossible to see a single person on the territory occupied for a day or two, the land and property, everything is enough, and it is still necessary to sacrifice precious lives to risk the east

Li Mao did not find the answer in the grassland north of the Liao River, it was already autumn in front of him, and the empty grassland had become a paradise for birds and beasts, and the shadows of the Khitan and Murwei people could not be found.

Li Mao ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the army rolled south along the Liao River.

Before leaving, Li Mao and Zhu Jiu rode horses to the grassland outside the city of Gezhou, Li Mao's riding skills have been very impressive, Zhu Jiu's riding skills are also well trained, the archery is especially practiced profoundly, the strings sound, the arrows come out, the birds fall, it is ten shots and nine hits.

Li Mao's archery was a little worse, and there was a mistake in the middle, and he accidentally injured a bison, and the injured bison was very fierce, and everyone was chased and fled.

asked Zhu Jiu if he wanted to go back to Liaozhou, Zhu Jiu replied very happily: "I don't want to go back, I am free here, no one can control me except you, I went back to a bunch of and annoyance, if I don't go back, if I don't go back, I will guard the frontier for you here." ”

Li Mao said: "Do you think Khitan or Murowei is easier to deal with?" ”

Zhu Jiudao: "The Khitan people are smart, reasonable, and easy to deal with, while the Murowei people are stubborn, barbaric, and difficult to deal with." ”

Li Mao said: "The Khitan people will eventually become a big disaster in Liaodong, but the Murwei people can still be used to win over them." You remember not to let the Khitans approach the five hundred miles of Columbia and camp, and if you dare to come, you will fight. ”

Zhu Jiudao: "Listen to you, if you dare to come, you will fight, without asking the reason." ”

In the face of Anton's cavalry rolling south, the eighteen fortresses scattered on both sides of the Liao River misjudged the situation, thinking that Li Mao was coming at them, fighting or surrendering, all of which showed their attitude.

Give a merciless blow to the warmonger Li Mao, and for those who are sincere and obedient, send the main families to Liaozhou, and then recruit displaced people to enrich and set up counties to rule.

As the overall situation of Liaodong has been decided, displaced people from all over the country have concentrated in Liaozhou, Dongzhou, Gaozhou, and Guizhou, and Liaozhou has come from behind, and the population of Xincheng has rapidly exceeded 10,000, and the population of garrisons and their families has exceeded 200,000.

The populations of the two prefectures in the east and high prefectures also exceeded 100,000 each, and the lowest in the prefecture was 50,000 or 60,000. Sugar hua

The garrison selects plots of land with good conditions near the garrison to carry out military cantonments, with the goal of solving one-third of the military food supply after three years.

During this period, Li Mao successively promulgated a number of laws to liberate slaves, protect private property, regulate industry and commerce, forge a clean, efficient, fair, and trustworthy judicial system, and vigorously establish the authority of the government.

Reform the old state and county governance system, strongly restrain the expansion of government power, lightly punish the poor, and rest with the people.

After the implementation of a series of measures, a rare situation of stability and prosperity has emerged in eastern Liaoning.

The greatest profit from the prosperity of Liaodong is Tutu Chenghuang, because of the meritorious guardianship, Chang'an summoned Tutu Chenghuang back to the palace as the Flying Dragon Envoy, the Flying Dragon Envoy is the emperor's horse breeding officer, the status is not low, the promotion is convenient, the most important thing is to have the opportunity to get close to the emperor, which has a wonderful convenience for the resurrection of Tutu Chenghuang.

Tutu Chengxuan's ability to be a flying dragon envoy is inseparable from Li Mao's strong sponsorship, Tutu Chengguang reciprocated Li, and before leaving, he recommended Zhang Hairong, the deputy envoy, as the military supervisor. Zhang Hairong is chubby, round, docile, never cares about things, and does not know soldiers, offended people in Chang'an, came to Liaodong for refuge, is very content with the current situation, and has no ambition in the career. Recommending such a prison envoy to Li Mao will naturally save Li Mao a lot of heart.

Li Mao sent Tu Chenghuang to the Dongzhou wharf, and said: "Suddenly for a few years, I have to say goodbye again, if there is a verbal collision in the past few years, I don't take good care of you, and I will accompany you." God says good things, but you have to take care of Liaodong. ”

Tutu Chenghuang also said emotionally: "I can make a comeback, it is stained with your light, Liaodong is my blessed land, you are my nobleman, I Tutu Chenghuang has no other benefits, I know how to repay the kindness, and I can still do it for my friends." Let's not mention the grievances and grievances of the past, and we will be a family in the future, like a family of brothers. ”

Tutu Chengguang took a boat to Hekou Town, where two large ships escorted him to Laizhou, and then returned to Chang'an from Ziqing.

Tutu Chenghuang arrived in Yunzhou and persuaded Li Shidao to return Li Mao's family, Li Shidao saw that Tutu Chenghuang was about to rise again, and he didn't want to offend, and now Li Mao has become a powerful person in Liaodong, and then detained his family, only to increase the enemy, thought twice, decided to sell Tutu Chenghuang a face, and agreed.

A month later, Qin Niang, Su Ying's mother and son crossed the sea by boat and came to Liaodong.

Su Qing wants to take care of the big business, and there is no way to get out, if he really wants to leave, Li Shidao will also secretly set up obstacles, so he stays in Yunzhou and does not move.

Qin Niang has nothing to do under her knees, she is alone, it is easy to walk, she can take care of Li Mao when she goes to Liaodong, Su Ying gave birth to a son for Li Mao, but she has no name, and she is here to ask for a name.

Qi Yan was still young, childish, and weak, Su Qing couldn't bear the bumpy crossing of the sea with her mother and son, so she stayed and didn't let go.

On that day, Li Mao went to Dongzhou Ferry to pick up Qinniang and Su Qing's mother and son, couldn't help crying in public, and returned to Liaodong City, Li Mao made up the wedding for Su Ying, and took her into the door in a beautiful manner.

At the wedding banquet, Li Mao couldn't help crying twice, and afterwards, Chen Xiaoyi said to Qin Mo with emotion: "The handsome treatment of several ladies is really affectionate, and it is touching to watch." ”

Qin Mo said: "You don't know many of these twists and turns, at that time, Brother Mao was just a small official in the county government in Chengwu County, and Qin Niang followed him with all her heart, so many years, gathering less and leaving more, and suffering a lot for Brother Mao, although she did not have the status of a wife, but our Brother Mao respected her very much, and what she said was sometimes more effective than the third lady." As for Su Ying, if you think about a widowed woman, she didn't want any title, so she conceived a child for him, and she followed him so infatuatedly, and she never gave up, but who was not moved, who was not moved, who could be ruthless. ”

Chen Xiaoyi said: "Our handsome is an amorous seed, but unfortunately there are still three ladies floating outside, I will go to Chang'an this time, do you want to go to Weizhou to take a trip, try to take Mrs. Zhu out." ”

Qin Mo said: "It's good that you have this heart, but things in Weizhou are not so easy to handle." ”

Chen Xiaoyi said: "Weizhou is separated from us by thousands of mountains and rivers, and there is no entanglement of interests, why do you have to detain Mrs. Zhu." I don't know what Tian Xing's idea is. ”

Qin Mo said with a smile: "This is not Tian Hongzheng's business, he is a face-saving person, and he is the third lady of Weizhou who is not easy to entangle, hey, people say that a woman's heart is a needle, and you are elusive and thorough." ”

Chen Xiaoyi smiled: "Even Brother Mo, you can't figure it out." ”

Qin Mo said: "I am more experienced than you, the water is shallow, I can naturally see through it at a glance, but if it is the ocean, I don't have the ability, the third lady in Weizhou is the ocean, the scheming is as deep as the sea, I can't see through her, or just a woman's jealousy, or have other intentions, anyway, I just hold on to people." What can you do. ”

sighed, and said: "Over the years, Brother Mao has written me many letters to her, and his words are humble, so he almost knelt down and begged her, and asked her to raise her noble hand and let the person go, what was the result, alas"

Chen Xiaoyi said: "If the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come." ”

Qin Mo said: "Don't make a mistake, Zhang Jingwu of Weizhou Shannan Society is not a vegetarian, in their territory, you have to kidnap someone, what a big means." ”

Chen Xiaoyi said: "Even so, I don't want to do this, so as not to add chaos if I can't help, I'll stop by and take a look, and bring something to the handsome, it's always okay." ”

Qin Mo said: "It's okay to take a look, but you remember: don't be reckless." ”

Chen Xiaoyi smiled and said: "I went to Chang'an to set up the Jinju Academy, what else does Brother Mo have to explain." ”

Qin Mo said: "Brother Mao used to be the master of the Concert Academy, what should he do, what not to do, and how to do it, he explained it better than me, so I won't talk much." I only have one piece of advice, brother, Chang'an is a world of flowers, with charming eyes, it's okay to play, but don't play big, play big and hurt your body, hurt your kidneys, and you can't get back from addiction. ”

Chen Xiaoyi smiled: "You know I'm not good at that." ”

Qin Mo said: "Someone is in charge, you are naturally honest, no one restricts you, can you still be honest?"

Chen Xiaoyi said: "Please send a trustworthy person to accompany me and supervise me at any time." ”

Qin Mo said: "I will definitely send people, and I won't greet you, I will look at you secretly, lest you learn badly." He added: "There is nothing else to explain, there is a person named Xibao, you can inquire after you enter the city, see if you are still there, and give care of it." This little girl just didn't hold it, and when she arrived in the flower world of Chang'an, she messed up her mind and didn't make it look good, and she lived up to Brother Mao's expectations for her. ”

The establishment of the Jinjuyuan in Chang'an was an idea that Li Mao had for a long time, and it was not implemented until today, and it was also carefully considered, because Chang'an is the center of the world, a distribution center for information, and a concentration camp for talents.

Who to send to Chang'an to be the master of the Academy, Li Mao's first thought was Qin Mo, Qin Mo's ability is worthy of this position, but his playful and lustful nature is destined to be a tragedy if he is sent to the future, after careful consideration, Li Mao decided to use the newcomer and let Chen Xiaoyi go,

Chen Xiaoyi was the old department that followed him as early as when he was in Ziqing, when he was young and unknown, he rose rapidly in the past two years, in addition to his deliberate cultivation, it is also inseparable from his own ability and efforts, although this young man is still inexperienced, but he is aggressive, diligent and studious, and makes rapid progress, the most important thing is that he has a clean background, loyal and reliable.

Li Mao asked him to change his name to cover up the past, which was the usual method used by the expatriates in the right wing, Chen Xiaoyi accepted it very happily, changed his name to Chen Muyang, bid farewell to Li Mao, and embarked on the journey to the west.
