Now that Zhen Mi has come to Jincheng County safely, Li Mu no longer has any worries. Two days later, Deng Zhi and Li Hui came to report that the grain brought by the Zhen family could feed the 20,000 army for two years, and the Zhen family also brought 50 million and a half baht, cloth, iron and other strategic materials.

Li Mu was overjoyed, and personally went to thank Zhen Yu, promising that he would return the Zhen family's money, food and materials tenfold and hundredfold in the future. Zhen Yu bluntly said that these should be the dowry of the little sister and do not need to be returned. Li Mu also told Zhen Yu about the construction of the new city, and Zhen Yu immediately agreed, he could provide money and food, and he could introduce some wealthy businessmen to invest. Seeing Zhen Yu being so righteous, Li Mu immediately promised that after the completion of the new city, he would leave the best shops for the Zhen family, and in the future, the Zhen family's business in Jincheng County would definitely escort as long as it was legal and reasonable.

Zhen Yu lived in Jincheng County for ten days, and by the way, he set up a branch of the Zhen family in Yunwu City. On this day, Zhen Yu came to say goodbye, Zhen Mi saw that the eldest brother was leaving, and she was reluctant to give up, looking at Zhen Yu with tears in her eyes.

Zhen Yu wiped away the tears on Zhen Mi's face, and said with a smile: "Little sister, the eldest brother will still come to Jincheng County, and I am relieved that Dingguo will take care of you." Besides, your third brother is also in Jincheng County. ”

Zhen Mi choked up and said, "Big brother, Mi'er is reluctant to let you go." Mi'er is not filial and cannot serve her father and mother. ”

Zhen Yu held Zhen Mi in his arms, choked his throat and said, "Silly little sister, don't worry about your father and mother, we will take care of it." Dingguo also said that June 16 is an auspicious day, and he will marry his little sister into the door, and the eldest brother will rush back when the time comes. ”

Zhen Mi nodded, choked up and said, "Mi'er wishes big brother a smooth journey!" Take care, big brother! ”

Zhen Yu said with red eyes and a choked voice: "Big brother will be fine, little sister take care!" ”

After Zhen Yu finished speaking, he let go of Zhen Mi, turned around and walked out the door. Zhen Mi sobbed and wanted to chase him out, Li Mu hugged Zhen Mi and said, "Mi'er, Brother Zhen will be fine, I will send troops along the road to protect until I reach Wuji County in Zhongshan safely." I'm going to see off Brother Zhen. ”

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Diao Chan helped Zhen Mi to sit down. Li Mu sent Zhen Yu out of Yunwu City for ten miles before stopping, and Li Mu ordered Pei Yuanshao to lead three hundred steps to ride all the way to escort Zhen Yu back.

In the blink of an eye, in late May 183, the 20,000 New Army had already entered the brutal training, and the New Army only rested for four hours a day, and the rest of the time was either in military training or long-distance training. Li Mu paid special attention to the New Army's ability to attack at night, and 20,000 New Army members woke up in the middle of the night and assembled in formation to carry out the drill mission.

At noon that day, Li Mu, Diao Chan, and Zhen Mi were eating. Li Mu sandwiched a chopstick fish meat between Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, as soon as Diao Chan ate it, he began to retching nauseously, Li Mu and Zhen Mi were startled, and hurriedly patted Diao Chan's back and fed water. Li Mu asked anxiously: "Cicada, is there something wrong with this fish?" Or is there something wrong with your body? ”

Diao Chan said weakly: "Ah Mu, Cicada has been prone to sleepiness recently, and she has lost her appetite, and when she sees the greasy meal, she can't help retching......"

Zhen Mi was shocked, and said anxiously: "Ah Mu, don't you know how to heal?" Hurry up and show Sister Cicada, Sister Cicada has been suffering from this symptom for two or three days......"

Li Mu nodded, his heart was surprised, and said with a smile: "Cicada, don't worry about Mi'er, if you guess correctly, Cicada is happy, Cicada your month. How long has it been since it came? ”

Diao Chan groaned: "Ah Mu, it's good...... It seems like I haven't been here for more than fifty days......"

Li Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Diao Chan to lie down on the bed, checked the pulse, Li Mu kissed Diao Chan on the face, and said with a smile: "Cicada, you are pregnant, it's true!" ”

Diao Chan asked excitedly: "Ah Mu, you didn't lie to the cicada, did you...... It's true...... With ......"

Li Mu said with a smile: "Cicada, of course it's true, how can this kind of thing be a joke." ”

Diao Chan nodded, a pair of jade hands gently rubbed his lower abdomen, two lines of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, and muttered, "There is...... With ......"

Zhen Mi was envious, sat on the edge of the bed, gently wiped away the tears on Diao Chan's face, smiled Yingying, and said softly: "Congratulations to Sister Cicada, you have a baby......"

Diao Chan took Zhen Mi's hand and said with a smile: "Next month, my sister will pass the door, and she will be bullied by Amu's big villain a few more times, and there will be a baby...... In the future, our sisters will have to give birth to a few more babies for our husbands......"

After all, Zhen Mi had nothing to do with men and women, and instantly Xia Fei's cheeks flew and said, "Mi'er, don't be bullied by Amu's big villain......"

Li Mu and Diao Chan just laughed. Since Diao Chan was pregnant, Li Mu instructed the kitchen to prepare more light meals, as long as it was fruits and vegetables that could be bought in Jincheng County, Li Mu asked someone to send fresh ones every day. Li Mu only went to the Taishou Mansion for two hours every day, and after dealing with important affairs, he accompanied Diao Chan for a walk and chat. When Li Mu was away, fortunately, Zhen Mi accompanied Diao Chan to talk and relieve boredom.

Diao Chan has become the first-class protection object of Taishou Mansion, and Yang, Aunt Zhang, Cuihua, and Fan Juan have changed their methods to make Diao Chan delicious. Liu Li was also bullied by Zhao Feng, she was three months pregnant, and often shared some details of her pregnancy with Diao Chan. Dongmei was overjoyed when she saw her wife, and she waited cautiously. Even Qiu Ju, the personal maid brought by Zhen Mi from the Zhen family, was also carefully serving Diao Chan.

Li Mu is full of spring breeze every day, and Zhao Yun and Xu Shu, the civil and military forces, are also overjoyed to know that their lord has a successor. After all, the world is impermanent, and whether it is a man or a woman, if Li Mu has three longs and two shorts, they will have more hope, of course, they come to join because they admire Li Mu, but they also want to follow Li Mu to become a knight, and the tide rises.

Just when Li Muchun was proud, news came from Luoyang: the eunuch power headed by Zhang Rang reached its peak, and the time was often served by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Su Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, Ning Dian and other twelve people were all marquis, and the nobles were extremely favored, and the people of the time were called "ten permanent servants", and Emperor Ling once said that "Zhang Changshou is my father, and Zhao Changshou is my mother". So the ten permanent servants were unscrupulous, built a high-rise compound, the scale was comparable to the palace, and the ten permanent servants let their fathers and brothers serve as state and county shepherds, brutalizing the people, doing evil, no one dared to ask, and the world was full of complaints.

There is also news that Henan Yin He Jin Jue is a general, Feng Shenhou, leading the left and right Yulin, the five battalions of the battalion Shitun Duting, repairing equipment, to Zhenjing Division; Zhihan Valley, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Xuanyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin Baguan Duwei. For a while, there was no difference in the limelight.

It is very common for Li Mu, but it is unusual for the world that the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang used Fu Shui to cure diseases and win the hearts of the people in the world. The poor people of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan have many followers, and the Yellow Turban Army has begun to take shape, but the imperial court not only did not notice it, but also thought that the three Zhang Jiao brothers were educating the people and doing good deeds.

Just when the people of Jincheng County were happily celebrating the summer grain harvest, there was a great drought in the 13 prefectures of Dahan, and the people were hungry, and the homeless people were wandering everywhere. Of course, Jincheng County was also in a major drought, but when Li Mu came to Jincheng County, he listened to Zhang Jixing's suggestion to repair water conservancy and divert yellow water for irrigation. Then, the influx of displaced people from the surrounding counties of Jincheng County continued.

On this day, Li Muchen came to the Taishou Mansion to sit in the hall. Zhang Ji groaned: "My lord, according to reports from various counties, after statistics, thirty or forty thousand displaced people have poured into Jincheng County. It's okay to help for a while, but in the long run, I'm afraid it's not a way, and it will affect the security of Jincheng County! ”

Deng Zhi replied: "De Rong doesn't have to worry, this is a good thing, Jincheng County is also a vast and sparsely populated area, you can give these displaced people land, you can also choose the best of them, build a new city, have money to take, have food." Naturally, it will not affect public security! ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have counted with Bo Miao, De'ang, and De Rong, the grain in Jincheng County can be eaten by 100,000 people for two years, and we can also select the strong to join the army!" ”

Li Hui said with a smile: "Lord, it is very likely that the homeless people will bring the plague, and I also ask the lord to organize people to investigate the epidemic earlier." ”

Li Mu stroked his palms and laughed: "The four gentlemen are all great talents, great talents." Brainstorm and do it all. Good! In the case of the displaced people, Deng Zhi and Li Hui were responsible, and Hu Du and Jufu led the troops to maintain order. divide and manage displaced people and investigate the epidemic; 5,000 recruits; The rest of the displaced people, those who have labor, all enter the construction site of the new city, and those who do not have labor are supported by the government. ”

Deng Zhi, Li Hui, Hu Du, and Ju Fu readily agreed. Five days later, Deng Zhi came to report: there was no epidemic; The best have been selected and five thousand soldiers have been recruited; 30,000 who have a working force are willing to work; More than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people have been arranged to be sent to various counties and supported by the government; There are also more than 5,000 children under the age of fourteen, who have families and live with their families, and all those who have no families are arranged to Yunwu City.

Li Muzhi felt that Deng Zhi's arrangement was just right, these 5,000 children were important human resources, and if they could be cultivated well, they could also become useful talents from all walks of life. Li Muxin said: Establish academies and hospitals......
