"My lord, in half a day, I will go to Liangtian Tunbao, is it not that the grass people will arrange it and notify the state government in advance so that they can come to greet you?" Li Dingguo came to He Wenrui's side and asked after he got off the horse.

It was noon, the sun was high in the sky, it was the hottest time of the day, and the group finally found a shady place and was about to take a break.

"No, you don't." He Wenrui handed the reins of the horse to Changsui, shook his head and said, "I'm not in a hurry to take office, I still have some time, I will go with you to Zhuolu Trading Company and Zhuolu Mountain first, and see this place where 100,000 thieves have been defeated, and I will have a long experience." ”

"It's... Adults don't raise it for two days? Li Dingguo was a little surprised, to be honest, from Jinyang to here, the food style is sleeping, it is really hard, this Zhizhou Lord can ride a horse, can sleep in the wild, and never complain along the way, which surprised them, despite this, he still lost a lot of weight, I thought that when I arrived at the state capital, I would have to rest for a few days, but I didn't expect Zhuolu Mountain to be so valued by him, and he actually had to pass through the house.

"What? Afraid I won't be able to bear it? He Wenrui feigned anger and said, "Don't look at me as a literati, but I can also ride a horse and draw a bow, and at a critical moment, even if I use a knife to cut people, I will drag you back along the way?" How far is Zhuolu Mountain, can't I go? ”

"The adults misunderstood, the small, the small ones are just..."Li Dingguo was clumsy, and he couldn't go on.

Seeing this, Zhou Chengyun hurriedly came out to play a round, "Lord He, the people of the whole state are looking forward to the arrival of the adult, and the state capital is probably even more eager to see through, Dingguo and I must be the same, you have settled in the state capital for a few days, held the official seal, understood the people of Baoan Prefecture, and rested by the way, when you are free, you can come to Zhuolu Mountain again, we will serve you before and after the saddle." ”

He Wenrui smiled and pointed his finger at his chest, "Zhou Gongzi, this is a demon you made, what you said, but it was like a cat scratching, it tickled my heart, before this matter was clarified, do you think I am in the mood to go to the state capital?" Or Zhou Gongzi, you are not sure about this matter, for fear of losing face in front of me? ”

When Zhou Chengyun heard this, his mind was racing, he knew that He Wenrui valued the high-yield grain in Zhuolu Mountain, but he didn't expect that he would attach so much importance to it, and it would reach the point where he passed the state capital and did not enter, but it is not strange to think about it, if this matter is true, then the future of him and the future Governor Geng will be bright.

But there is something in Lord He's words, Zhou Chengyun has been dealing with all kinds of people all year round, how could he not hear it, saying that Zhou Chengyun is afraid of losing face in front of him He Wenrui, that is kind words, the real meaning, that is to say that the grain of Zhuolu Mountain is not so magical and high-yielding at all, I am afraid that if he goes with him, he will appear in front of him, and he needs to make some preparations in advance in order to deal with him, the governor.

"Ouch, Lord He, you have wronged us Zhuolu Mountain." Zhou Chengyun hurriedly shouted, he had to completely eliminate this idea of Lord He, otherwise he would be suspicious when he arrived at Zhuolu Mountain, "These sweet potatoes and potatoes have never been planted in the north, but there are them in southern Fujian, but the yield is also unsatisfactory, we just want to buy them, and we can't find a place, don't you say?" ”

He Wenrui was stunned for a moment, there was nothing wrong with what he said, but he thought badly, "It makes sense, it is a mule or a horse, as long as you arrive at Zhuolu Mountain, it will be clear." ”

Li Dingguo finally understood on the side, this Lord Zhizhou was questioning the grain production in the mountains, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but he had a calm temperament, and his face was not moving at all, anyway, the grain was piled up there, and he knew it when he saw it.

He didn't argue, but asked, "Then we won't enter the state capital, spend the night in Dongbalibao tonight, and go to Zhuoluji tomorrow morning, how about it?" ”

"You can arrange it." He Wenrui responded.

Looking at Zhou Chengyun again, I saw him waving his hand, signaling Li Dingguo to arrange it like this.

......

"Zheng Gongzi, let's go." Outside the Zhuolu set, Wu Lihan was saying goodbye to Zhiwen.

This time it was he who led the team to welcome the refugees, and he could have been able to pull out early in the morning, but the refugees were not like the army, and they were not so easy to use after all, and they made a lot of noise for a while, and it was almost noon, so they braved the scorching sun and marched back and forth towards the mountains.

And the team was too long, the front, under the leadership of the Mongolian cavalry, had disappeared into the mountains and could not be seen, and the last of them in the formation of Ulihan were just ready to set off.

Shang Xiaocheng frowned and looked at the refugee brigade, his grinding appearance made him very dissatisfied, and muttered, "These guys are really lazy, if we were our own people, we wouldn't be able to see people for a long time." ”

"If you're hungry for months like them, it's not much better." Zhiwen scolded with a smile, this is the third batch of refugees he recruited after returning to Zhuoluji, it is not strange to see it, these people are hungry, they don't have much physical strength, and they have not been trained, it is too unrealistic to expect them to ban them like a team.

Shang Xiaocheng obviously thought of the days when he fled in Hexi, before he met Zhiwen, and shut up stupidly.

"Brother Wulihan, then it's hard for you to make a trip." Zhiwen said goodbye to Wu Lihan, "These people don't have to be too pushed, just go slowly, but if there is really that thorn, you can teach you how to teach it." ”

"Yes, Zheng Gongzi." Wu Lihan didn't talk much, turned over and left, in fact, he didn't know much Chinese, and he couldn't talk about it if he wanted to say a few more words, so he could talk about Mongolian, Zhiwen could understand it, but there were mostly Han people around, and he always felt weird, so he simply didn't say it.

With his departure, the air was already filled with a lot of dusty road, and a few billowing loess smoke and dust were raised, Zhiwen hurriedly pulled up the cloth around his neck to cover his mouth and nose, the road of this era is like this, even if it is well repaired, there are many people, and the horse's hooves are so dusty, not to mention this kind of path into the mountains.

"Zheng Gongzi, Zheng Gongzi!" Zhiwen was watching the refugees leave with a few people from the trading house, and an account office hurried from the direction of the market town, shouting loudly before the people arrived.

Without waiting for Zhiwen and the others to react, the account office panted and continued to shout, "Quick, hurry back to the trading company, our cavalry is back." ”

"Didn't you say it would only arrive in the evening?" Zhiwen turned around, Li Dingguo and the news that they were about to arrive was transmitted back by Ma Er, and it was originally estimated that they would arrive tonight, but they didn't expect it to be in advance.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, you don't look right, why are you panicking, what's wrong?" Although Shang Xiaocheng is known as "Xiao Kewang" and has great bravery, he is not as reckless as Sun Kewang, and his mind is much more delicate, and even Zhiwen didn't have the heart to notice the details, but he found out.
