Wang Shilang, now called Governor Wang, rushed to Shanxi with a full set of honor guards. 『Nature'.2.

Of course, to be complacent, not only did he jump to the top of the throne, but at the same time he was accompanied by the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, this governor along the way, very respectfully carried out the duties of the lonely minister party members, and did enough to whisper the look, this feeling is very useful to Governor Wang, along the way, Governor Wang also put on the posture of the leader of his lonely party party, and taught this backward party member, as a result, Hong Chengchou did not move out of Lu Hanqiang's backer, but was really willing to be taught, and waited for the brigade honor guard to come to Taiyuan, It made Governor Wang feel that there was light on his face, because as the high-ranking officials on the left and right of Shanxi's political envoys, he mobilized all the people to greet him in the ten-mile long pavilion, and the specifications were simply incomparable, and this seventy-year-old man completely felt the glory of being a big man.

After the reception and the rituals are done, behind closed doors, the family speaks at home, of course, this includes Hong Chengchou, because Hong Chengchou is now a member of the family, which has been arranged in Lu Hanqiang's letter one step earlier, and in Shanxi, almost all officials regard Lu Hanqiang's letter as the highest directive to implement it.

Regarding Lu Hanqiang's request for Shanxi to fully support Hong Chengchou, Lu Huanzhi and Yao Tongxin were full of confidence and said directly to Hong Chengchou: "Your Excellency, just say it, what do you need?" On behalf of Shanxi, I will do my best to support you. ”

Zhao Zi, the new governor of Pingze, is even more eager to try, as long as Hong Chengchou exterminates the Liukou, then everyone will have a share in this huge military achievement, and when the time comes, he will be one step closer to the goal planned by Lu Hanqiang, so Zhao Zi said with confidence: "Wang Yuxingshi, money and grain first, I Ping6 Zezhou Mansion first reinforced the governor's supplies of 500,000 taels of silver, so as to strengthen the governor's performance." ”

Now Zhao Zi is really rich, Lu Hanqiang set up the Shahe wharf, now has become the Yellow River, the most prosperous place, every day in the mast such as a forest, dense, the northern sorghum land is the same as now this Shahe wharf, has become, communication is difficult to defend, important link, a large number of southern, material and grain, a steady stream of unloaded on the Shahe wharf, and then, there is a large number of materials produced in the north, can be loaded, sail through the waves, along the Yellow River, flow to the south, the town interchange, A large number of drinks in the south began to circulate to the north and the north, really, it played a role in the original design of Lu Hanqiang to let the silver money circulate from the south to the north, and completely revitalized the market river economy in the north, in particular, Zhao Zi became the governor of the two prefectures, and expanded the special zone to Lu Zezhou, after accepting a large number of Lu to the displaced people, not only stabilized the Lu place, but prospered the Lu economy, and now to Zhao Zibei Yao Tongxin and Li Weidong are called the God of Wealth, as long as there is a lack of money, they will open their mouths to ask, Zhao Zi will never be stingy, anyway, they are all a family, do you have money to spend.

It is precisely because of this that Yao Tongxin was able to use countless money and grain to dismantle the original guard post and reorganize the garrison, so that the 36th battalion of the Liukou could be blocked on the side of the Yellow River north of Shanxi, and did not let the Liukou erode the entire Jiangshan as history does.

Zhao Zi's generosity simply made Hong Chengchou feel the warmth of the family beyond measure.

Yao Tongxin said with a smile: "But I have a premise, that is, you first completely sweep away my rogue in the northwestern part of Shanxi, otherwise, I will greatly discount the military expenditure of 500,000 taels of silver." ”

Lu Huanzhi also smiled and said: "In terms of generation, you are Han Qiang's eldest brother, of course, I want to take care of the eldest brother, and I can count it as your uncle." ”

Hong Chengchou immediately stood up, threw away his official title that was far higher than Lu Huanzhi, and gave Lu Huanzhi a deep salute: "Little nephew Hong Chengchou visits his uncle. ”

Lu Huanzhi definitely didn't expect Hong Chengchou to put down his figure so much, and give a salute to his uncle, who Lu Hanqiang couldn't beat, and was just about to stand up and shirk it, but the corner of his clothes was gently stepped on by Yao Tongxin, this is definitely not an unintentional move, Lu Huanzhi immediately understood, so lightly accepted Hong Chengchou's worship, and then said respectfully: "Your Excellency Governor, please take a seat, it's all a family, what's polite?" ”

Everyone humbled each other and sat down again, Hong Chengchou, and mentioned Lu Hanqiang again.

"When I came, my third brother and I had a general strategy in suppressing bandits, that is, to suppress and appease the dual-purpose, but I was confident, but I had no way to settle the people who were appeased, after all, Shaanxi has been in drought for many years, the land has long been barren, and the water conservancy has been in serious disrepair, so the people I appeased need to trouble a few people to be resettled, as long as they can live in peace, then this rebellion will end soon."

Yao Tongxin said with relief: "I thought that the old brother of Han Qiang only knew how to kill, and blindly relied on tough means to solve the problem, but this time it was the heart of the Bodhisattva, and the dual use of suppression and appeasement is the real royal way, otherwise blindly reckless, it can only be the official forcing the people to rebel, and the matter will become more and more serious." ”

Lu Huanzhi glanced at Zhao Zi, and Zhao Zi said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, isn't it just to greet some people and need them to settle them?" At this point, I can do it in the two provinces, and I am now short of manpower, expanding the construction of the new district, and I will now promise the governor that as long as you bring the people of the court to the two provinces in peace, it should not be a problem for me to settle 1.8 million yuan. ”

At this time, Yao Tongxin also said: "The problem of resettlement of the people, although the governor can rest assured, not long ago, you in the imperial court, allocated me 500,000 yuan to repair the river, I am ready to use this money, the world is in a great drought, the water level is lowered, and begin to remediate, the Yellow River in Shanxi, its tributaries, and prepare, lead the Yellow River into the inside6, irrigate the fertile land, to produce self-help, therefore, I need a large number of manpower, to reclaim those wasteland along the river, you can rest assured to say to those who accept Zhao'an, as long as you come to my Shanxi place, I gave him ten acres of barren land each, and at the same time, I also strictly abided by the decree of the imperial court that had just been handed down to reduce taxes for one year, and did not levy any harsh taxes on them in the first year, nor did they have any forced labor, even if they were willing to respond to my call to dredge along the river, I would give her a certain salary to ensure that she had three meals a day. ”

For the four people here who are so attentive to state affairs, Hong Chengchou really has mixed feelings in his heart, thinking that when he was an official, he talked with his colleagues here, but he was just talking nonsense, without a word of truth, or how to drill the camp and how to compare? How to give, no one can really talk about the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.

And look at the four people here now, every time they talk about it, they are all official affairs of the country, the people of the world, and there is not a single sentence involving their own private affairs, this is a truly thriving collective, Hong Chengchou is now very excited and glad that he can become one of them.

Governor Wang is also very satisfied with this situation, and now he has really done that his governor is to be a shopkeeper, just waiting for the future to get military merits, in the promotion of one level or two, and then with a glorious name and scenery to go home, at that time, there is his own reputation as the third governor of the world, and his son will enter the house in the future, why not worry about the Wang family to prosper and become a Jiangnan family? Every time I think of this, I stroke my beard and smile and am satisfied.

Since there is a solution to any problem, what else to say, so Hong Chengchou crossed the Yellow River with a thousand guards overnight to Yansui to take office, recruited troops and horses, and launched a vigorous anti-bandit operation.
