Early the next morning, Jiang Yun and his entourage left the capital and went to Tianjin Wei, where was the cargo ship belonging to Tianxiang Pavilion to and from Yizhou. www.biquge.info After more than half a month of drifting at sea, Jiang Yun once again set foot on the land of Yizhou.

Today's Lu family is different from the past, the entire Yizhou trade rights are controlled by him, and cargo ships are gathered in Shuibei. An extremely large wharf has been built on the deserted coast at the time of departure, with cargo ships coming and going, and hundreds of shirtless young laborers are busy in full swing, some loading and some unloading, taking the lead in showing the prosperous side of Yizhou to visitors.

It's been more than half a year since I left, and now I'm revisiting the old place, and my mood is somewhat complicated, but it's more about anticipation. Standing on the edge of the dock, Jiang Yun took a deep breath, and his mind had already drifted to the Lu Mansion first.

Ji Luo and Xu Huanting walked off the deck side by side, looking left and right with great interest, although this kind of scene is novel, but the girl's interest is obviously not here, and it didn't take long for Jiang Yun to hurry up, she couldn't wait to see what Yuecheng, known as the "imperial city" of Yizhou, was. As for Xu Huanting, she was more interested in the naval camp that could be seen in the distance, but she was just a newcomer, and it was not very proper to go rashly, so she suppressed the impulse in her heart and urged Jiang Yun to leave quickly.

Yuecheng is only more than ten miles away from the coast, and there is an official road directly, the road is not difficult to walk. In a short time, the three of them had come to the bottom of the tower.

You Yong, the former captain of the city defense, was also promoted, and he was mixed with a garrison general, but his responsibilities have not changed, and he is still in charge of the north gate of Yuecheng. He had a special chair on the left side of the passage of the city gate, and as usual, he was now lying idly and half-lying, his eyes stumbling, and he looked lethargic. Anyone who knows You Yong knows that he is unstoppable on the road to sleep, but he will not really sleep to death. Through the squinted eyes, You Yong was carefully looking at everyone who came in and out in front of him.

In the past six months, not only Yuecheng, but also the entire Yibei seems to be not peaceful. Reports from various cities show that at least a dozen people of unknown origin have been arrested, including young people, old women, and even children in their teens, no one knows where these fine works come from, but at least one thing is certain, they are by no means native to Yizhou. Led by the Lu family, the major families in Yibei have successively issued identity certificates to the people under their rule, a small card with special characteristics, up to Lu Xun himself, down to the peddlers, pawns and even beggars.

Whether it is entering and leaving the city gate, dining and shopping, you need to show it on the spot, once you find that someone can't take it out, the other party will immediately report to the official to arrest it, and the whistleblower can get a tael of silver as a reward. As for the suspects arrested by the local government, not only must they pay a fine of one or two pieces of silver as a fine for leaving the house without a license, but they also need to have at least three relatives who can prove their identities and go to the prison with their identity certificates to ransom them.

Under such strict control, there is no point in the fine work, and unless you do not enter the city, it will not be long before you are caught. However, just in case, the gate of the city is the top priority, and if the details are discovered in the city, the soldiers guarding the city need to bear a lot of responsibility, You Yong carefully observed the crowd of people, and even the look on their faces was not omitted.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from outside the city gates. "These people don't have identification, come on, take them down!"

How many more were caught? You Yong's spirits perked up, and he suddenly opened his eyes and looked out of the city, and when he saw the young man surrounded by guards, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, for fear that he had seen it wrong. After taking a closer look, it was clear that it was the face in his memory again, and You Yong hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"I said, you really don't know me?" Jiang Yun said with an innocent face: "I'm really not a spy. ”

"Whether it's or not, let's take it."

"Wait!" You Yong drank the guard back and looked at Jiang Yun again. "Uncle? You're back? ”

"General You?" Finally seeing someone he knew, Jiang Yun smiled and said, "It's me!" You see this is making trouble, and when you come back, you almost let people go to prison. ”

You Yong smiled. "They're doing what they're told, so don't take it to heart."

"How can I be?" Jiang Yun responded casually and asked, "Is Xun'er in the city?" ”

"Here, the eldest lady didn't go out of the city today, you can go home and find her. By the way, wait a minute. After speaking, You Yong returned to the table, waved two strokes on the paper, and then took out the seal and covered it before he stepped forward and handed it to Jiang Yundao: "Uncle, you take this first, now it will be difficult to move an inch without an identity certificate in the city, and this pass document can be dealt with temporarily." ”

"Okay, thank you." After receiving the paperwork, the three of them walked towards the city.

Xu Huanting looked around and said with emotion: "The guards here are really tight enough, and the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty can't compare." ”

"It only started recently." Jiang Yun smiled and said: "After the last battle in Fujian, the spy alliance should have sent people over, and it is always good to prepare more." ”

Ji Luo's mind was obviously not on this issue, she glanced at Jiang Yun and said sourly, "Did you hear that?" Uncle, what a majestic look. ”

Jiang Yun suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. "Before we go, let's talk about it, we won't mention it."

"Hmph." Ji Luo snorted coldly, turned his head a little reluctantly, and held back not to continue to investigate. After a while, I was attracted all the attention by the prosperous scene of Yuecheng, running at the front of the team, looking at the stalls all the way, looking at the appearance of great interest, I can't wait to move all home.

After turning the three streets, a huge plaque with the book "Lu Fu" printed in his eyes, Jiang Yun arrived home.

---------------------

Nursing Heart House.

is nearly full-term, and Lu Xun still shows the style of a workaholic. She sat down in front of the table, her left hand lightly pressed on the protruding tip of her belly, afraid that one would accidentally bump the edge of the table, and with a pen in her right hand, she quickly wrote something on the official document in front of her.

"The nest of horse thieves near Wangqiu City needs to be exterminated as soon as possible, tell Hui Tianqing, I will give him half a month, if he can't do it, he won't need to lead troops from now on." After a few brushstrokes, Lu Xun closed the official document, threw it aside, and then opened the one below.

"Yang Shuo is right about this, inform Xiong Buju and let him disarm as soon as possible." Lu Xun smiled coldly. "Twenty thousand? What does the Xiong family want to do? The mine was handed over to them, and now some don't know who they are. Be sure to knock it out, Mo Yan, it's up to you to do it yourself. ”

Mo Yan stood quietly at the table and smiled slightly. "The students understand, but I don't know how far the eldest lady wants the students to go?"

After getting along for more than half a year, Mo Yan has already figured out the character of this new master, she is far more stubborn and confident than Yang Xiaotian, and it is extremely unwise to be smart in front of Lu Xun, because she is more shrewd. It is his responsibility to pick up the missing pieces and repair the decree more perfectly.

After a pause, Lu Xun replied: "After all, the Xiong family has made great achievements, don't persecute too much, just let them understand my attitude." Xiong Buju is a smart man, he knows what to do. ”

Close the document, throw it away, and open it again. After just one glance, Lu Xun's eyes narrowed quietly. She learned this habit from Jiang Yun unconsciously, but the meaning of the representation was different. Jiang Yun squinted, indicating that he was trying to calculate others, Lu Xun's squinting was relatively simple, and she was angry!

Mo Yan not only frowned, but asked cautiously, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"The Liuyang minister of Wendan State previously received a large amount of gold and silver from us, including bribes and deposits, and promised to send 500 war elephants to our Yizhou, but now it has been delayed again and again, saying that their relationship with Siam has deteriorated, and war may start at any time, and the matter of war elephants may not be transported in the short term."

"It's trying to change the hexagram." Mo Yan muttered: "Before, it was conclusive, saying that it would be delivered within two months, would this be relied upon?" What do you say about the deposit? To return or not to retreat? ”

"There is no mention of the return of the silver." Lu Xun was silent for a moment, picked up the pen and drew a big cross on the official document, closed it and threw it aside. "Let Lianyue go to Wendan Country and tell her that when I come back, I only want to see three things, war elephants, retired silver, or people full of sheep!" After a pause, touching her towering lower abdomen, she suddenly changed her words again: "Forget it, Liuyang's own head is fine, and there is no need to involve the innocent." ”

After explaining, Lu Xun leaned on the back of the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief, as her stomach grew, her energy was not as good as before, and she felt a wave of tiredness after not long after her official business was done, rubbing her eyebrows, she waved her hand and said, "Go and do it." ”

After folding the official documents she had reviewed and holding them in her arms, Mo Yan nodded in response, turned around and walked out of the house.
