After dealing with all this, Lu Chen unexpectedly received, ? ?. ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? Although the Divine Decree of E n 'O?rg was given to Jiannan Jiedu, however, it also commended Lu Chen's merits in this battle. This holy decree clearly stated that the land of Shannan and West Dao should be divided between the Shannan East Dao and the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy. And Luzhou City, where Lu Chen is located, is naturally assigned to the name of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy.

However, because of the recommendation of the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, the imperial court appointed Lu Chen as the governor of Luzhou City to oversee all the important affairs of Luzhou City.

Seeing the end, Lu Chen shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: It seems that he owes Jiannan Jiedu a favor again! Although Lu Chen is not too keen on the official title of governor. However, with this title, Lu Chen's management of Luzhou City is justified, and at least some actions don't need to be sneaky anymore.

At the same time, Lu Chen unexpectedly got a news: Princess Shou Yang Yuhuan had been divorced by Tang Xuanzong because of her discordant relationship with her husband. However, Yang Yuhuan was sent to Baofeng Temple to become a monk by Tang Xuanzong on the grounds of repentance and purification.

After hearing the news, although Lu Chen's face did not change much, there was a storm in his heart. According to the memory of his previous life, this Yang Yuhuan should have become a monk a few years later, but he didn't expect that she had just become Princess Shou for a few months, and she was brought to Baofeng Temple by Tang Xuanzong.

Realizing that the process of history was different from what he thought, Lu Chen secretly said in his heart: According to the current development trend, it seems that this Anshi Rebellion should break out within five or six years.

After a few more days, the team that went to pick up the old patriarch finally returned. Seeing the returning convoy, Lu Chen immediately came out to greet him. For this old man who has been working hard to help him take care of the Holy City, Lu Chen has great respect in his heart.

When the convoy stopped, the old patriarch was seen coming down from the middle carriage. I don't know if it's because of the improvement of life and diet, or because of other reasons, the old patriarch is much stronger than when Lu Chen first established the Holy City, and his eyes have become bright, and they are no longer as muddy as before.

As soon as the old patriarch got out of the carriage, he saw Lu Chen walking this way. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu Chen, and said, "Meet the Holy One!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Chen hurriedly helped the old patriarch up, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so polite, besides, I'm already a little embarrassed to call you over from afar this time."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, he saw the old patriarch wave his hand and insisted, "Sage, no matter what time this identity is, you can't mess up!" Moreover, to be able to help the Sage do things, the old man felt very honored in his heart. ”

Hearing the old patriarch's words, Lu Chen didn't argue with him anymore. At this moment, I saw more than a dozen young people coming over from the rear convoy, and after seeing Lu Chen, these people all bowed their hands with a look of adoration and said, "Meet the Sage"

At this time, the old patriarch explained to the side, "These people are all young people from the Holy City, and they have always wanted to break outside. This time, I just took this opportunity to let them come out. In the past, it was our vision that was so narrow that from our ancestors to the present, almost no one has been to the outside world. It wasn't until I went to Minzhou City not long ago that I understood this truth. ”

Hearing that the old patriarch understood, Lu Chen was also very happy in his heart. For the people in the Holy City, Lu Chen is still willing to let them come out to exercise more, after all, these people basically have no problem in loyalty. If these people are cultivated into talents, then the territory that Lu Chen will occupy in the future will not have to worry about no one to help him take care of it.

Therefore, after hearing the old patriarch's explanation, Lu Chen immediately turned his gaze to the dozen or so young people, and said with a smile, "I don't know what you want to do after you come out?" ”

Hearing this, he saw that the dozen or so people were all at a loss, and then shook his head. Their knowledge of the outside world is limited to those who have been outside the city. For the real outside world, they have not yet used their knowledge.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and said, "In the past few days, you will first walk around Luzhou City, and wait until you find the industry you like, and then you can do it, don't be too anxious."

"Thank you for the sage's advice" Hearing this, more than a dozen young people saluted Lu Chen with gratitude on their faces. Immediately, Lu Chen found someone to stay and rest them.

Afterwards, Lu Chen and the old patriarch came to the City Lord's Mansion together. He first told the old patriarch about the situation in Luzhou City, and then, Lu Chen gave the old patriarch a brief introduction to some ways to deal with daily trivial matters, after all, the old patriarch had managed the holy city before, so he was not too unfamiliar with these things.

After half a day, Lu Chen had already introduced all the daily affairs of Luzhou City to the old patriarch. These are basically trivial matters, after all, those things that determine the future of Luzhou City, Lu Chen has already solved them a few days ago.

After handing over everything to the old patriarch, Lu Chen found the heads of the four major families and let them get to know the old patriarch. After all, in this Luzhou City, the four major families are still a force to be reckoned with, even if their forces have been weakened to the extreme by Lu Chen, but in other aspects, the influence of the family forces is still very huge. Without the support of these four families, it would be difficult for the old patriarch to manage this city.

After learning that Lu Chen was going to give up the position of city lord to the old man in front of him, the four family masters were shocked, and hurriedly found the old patriarch to get close. After all, in the future, this Luzhou City will be in front of the person in charge.

After doing this, Lu Chen found Luo Gong again, and then went with him to the small cities around Luzhou City. Although these small cities are difficult to hold once they are attacked by enemy troops. However, Lu Chen still did not underestimate their role. In Lu Chen's view, these small cities are like bunkers. If the enemy wants to attack Luzhou City, it must capture several small cities in a certain direction.

After all, even if these small cities have poor defense, they can still delay some time at a critical moment. Therefore, for the construction of these small cities, Lu Chen never thought of giving up. If well run, these small cities can play a big role at critical moments.

After inspecting all these cities, Lu Chen nodded slightly, and the damage caused by the attack of Longyan in these small cities had been filled. However, Lu Chen was not too satisfied with the defense system of these small cities today.
