Fat Lu asked with "concern": "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" If you are not feeling well, do you want to ask the military doctor to come over and show you? ”

After the chamberlain relieved himself, he waved his hand and said with a forced smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, our family is fine." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info General, please take a step to speak, Your Majesty has a secret decree to hand over to the general......"

When Fat Lu heard this, he sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Is it continuing to suppress bandits again?!" This...... Does this still make people live? "He's not afraid of fighting, but fighting with such a sure-winning opponent is the same as not fighting, what's the point? Lu Chenhuan is looking forward to fighting the Liao State to see if the Liao people are really so strong?

However, the emperor's order had to be obeyed, and Lu Fatzi still invited the chamberlain to the tent of the Chinese military camp, ready to wait for Lu Chengqi's secret decree.

"Your Majesty has an order, and orders the forbidden army to stand by in place, and in a few days, another 50,000 forbidden troops will arrive. At that time, the 50,000 forbidden troops here will return to Chang'an to garrison outside the city, and Xiang Zheng will command Lu Chenhuan, who will lead the new 50,000 forbidden troops to the area of Yunnan and Guizhou to exterminate the green forest thieves, cut the path thieves, etc......., "The inner servant slowly said the information in his head, but the more Lu Fatzi listened, the more sad he became.

By now, Fat Lu finally understands what the little emperor is thinking, this is clearly an actual combat exercise in the name of suppressing bandits! Unfortunately, he became the commander-in-chief of this actual combat exercise. Not only does he have to win, he has to win beautifully. Before he first set out, he thought it was gold-plated, but he didn't expect to hit a big nail here in Liangshan Shuibo, and he was sleepy for more than half a year. Fortunately, the little emperor was far-sighted and sent a new type of artillery warship, otherwise it would be necessary to say when Liangshan would be able to capture it. In fact, as long as You Jun is a little tougher, puts up a good position, and fights ship to ship, the forbidden army may not win.

Now that he is going to Yunnan and Guizhou again, Fat Lu couldn't help but twitch the fat on his face, and almost gritted his teeth: "What else did Your Majesty say?" ”

Only then did the chamberlain remember: "By the way, Your Majesty also said that as long as the general fights this battle well, it is certain that he will be promoted to a knight......

When Fat Lu heard this, he narrowed his already small eyes slightly, as if he was staring at the face of the waiter. The chamberlain was weak, how could he withstand such a fright, and he almost fainted.

"In this way, the general is going to do his best...... "Lu Fatzi pretended to be relaxed, "There is a father-in-law Lao who has come to pass the decree, if you don't dislike it, just eat here!" ”

The chamberlain looked at him with palpitations, and said again and again: "No, no, our family has to go back to Beijing to restore the decree...... Uh, I said goodbye......"

Fat Lu looked at the back of the waiter, and sneered in his heart: "What a big piece of fat has been delivered to his mouth!" "Seriously, Fat Lu has never taken those rabbles into account. Even if it was Wang Ting, who was rumored to be brilliant in martial arts, but was shot to death by the little emperor, Lu Fatzi felt that he could have a draw with him.

"Forget it, the will of God is hard to violate, just do what you want......" Facing reality, Lu Chenhuan still compromised. After all, in front of the addition of officials and knights, few people can face it calmly. Fat Lu was originally an ambitious person, how could he let go of this opportunity?

In Chang'an City, in the Dashun Palace, in Lu Chengqi's "office" - the Vertical Arch Palace, Lu Chengqi summoned Su Shi, the director of the Criminal Department. Before he could speak, Lu Chengqi felt an itchy nose.

"Aqiu ......"

After a sneeze, Lu Chengqi felt a little better in his nose. "Your Majesty, is it because of the wind and cold? The entire Dashun still needs the guidance of His Majesty, and His Majesty must focus on the dragon body! Su Shi saw Lu Chengqi rubbing his nose and hurriedly said something.

"I'm fine, it's just that my nose is a little itchy. By the way, where did you just go? Yes, there are many poor people in Kuizhou Road, why is that? Lu Chengqi alleviated the previous embarrassment and successfully changed the topic. Su Shi is a good official who cares about the suffering of the people, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Kuizhou Road is mountainous and inconvenient to travel. Li Bai, a great poet of the former dynasty, once wrote a "Shu Road Difficult", but in the eyes of the minister, Kuizhou Road is difficult, even more Sichuan and Shu. The farmland of Kuizhou Road is mostly terraced, and the yield is not abundant. The land of the people is scarce, and for generations they have become poor......"

Lu Chengqi nodded, Kuizhou Road is in the north of Chongqing in the future, and its geographical location is quite important. Kuizhou City is located at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, the situation is dangerous, and it has always been an important military town in eastern Sichuan, and the place where soldiers must fight. Fengjie City, Kuizhou Road Mansion, has a long history, Fengjie City is based on the upper reaches of Jingchu, controls the east gate of Bashu, enters and can hold Sichuan and Shu, retreats can be backed by the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, can become a road, and it really makes sense.

The things produced in Kuizhou Road are only the well salt that is more expensive. The other Mai and Sangzi are not very famous. Kuizhou has been a salt-producing area since ancient times, and a large number of salt is imported and exported, indicating that it is not only a salt-producing area, but also a distribution center for salt entrepot sales. Some peasants with little land and no land either went down to the river to become fishermen, or they became salt sellers. In this way, the poverty of Kuizhou Road can be seen.

"Except for Kuizhou Road, what about the rest of the state capitals?" Lu Chengqi secretly memorized Kuizhou Road, and then continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is not only Kuizhou Road, but also Guangnan West Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road, Jiangnan West Road...... They are all poor places. ”

Lu Chengqi also has a certain understanding that these places are all south of the Yangtze River. At this time, the Han people still occupied the Central Plains, and there was no large-scale ethnic integration, and Jiangnan was still a place full of miasma. Such a "wild place" is no wonder it is so poor. Now it seems that the development of Jiangnan needs to be prepared.

"Su Qing, there is something you may not know. I sent the Supervision Department to visit these places and found that the area south of the Yangtze River had plenty of rain and the land was barren, but the climatic conditions were good. If it is properly developed, it will definitely be another Suzhou and Huzhou! Lu Chengqi said slowly.

Su Shi was stunned, what are the places in Suzhou and Huzhou? It is a big granary that controls more than half of Dashun's grain, and there is a folk proverb that Taihu Lake is ripe for the world. Can Jiangnan be compared to the Taihu Lake area? Isn't that a joke! So he said very shamefully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter cannot be ......."

Lu Chengqi frowned, he didn't expect why Su Shi, who has always been smart and wise, did not have the ability to judge on this issue. No matter how bad Jiangnan is, it should be better than a Taihu Lake, right? Besides, the current Jiangnan is not the Jiangnan of 20 years ago.

It is true that the poet Liu Yuxi of the previous dynasty also wrote "Bashan Chushui desolate place", which shows that the Jiangnan of the previous dynasty was indeed a deserted and miasma place. But now it is different, the rapid development of commerce and trade has driven the development of Jiangnan. If the policy is more tilted, I am afraid that the development of Jiangnan will not be a problem.

never thought that Su Shi actually said "no", isn't he a staunch supporter of Lu Chengqi?

Lu Chengqi was a little unhappy, remained silent, and asked lightly: "What does Su Qing have to say?" (To be continued.) )
