At the beginning of April, the Northern Lu Lu clan iron cavalry broke through the border, launched a surprise attack on Shunzhou under the control of the Zeng group, the Zeng clan who got the information in advance mobilized heavy troops, the two sides survived the battle in Shunzhou, for a while, it was difficult to distinguish the winner and loser, Zeng Qingxu, the head of the Zeng family, accused the Lu clan of unrighteous division, unprovoked offense, it was really a big rebellion, while handing over a form to Emperor Zhaoqing of the Luoyang court to express his submission, and at the same time asked for reinforcements.

However, at this time, the Luoyang Center under the control of the Xiao clan was concentrating all its energy on preparing for the great battle with King Ning in Qinzhou, and in addition to appreciating Zeng Qingxu's submission and expressing moral help, it could not help in other aspects. In such a bad situation, the angry Zeng Qingxu didn't care how far away Dingzhou was, so he immediately sent people to Dingzhou to ask for help, asking Li Qing to send troops to attack the Lu clan to alleviate the danger of the Zeng clan and make a heavy promise. At this time, for Zeng Qingxu, even if it is just a straw caught by a drowning person, he has to desperately grasp it.

Although Li Qing said that Dingzhou had just experienced a peaceful and barbaric war, and the loss of combat power was extremely large, he was really unable to send troops, so he could only transport some weapons and ordnance by sea to show his support, and at the same time he was willing to let the sailors provide support to Zeng's ability. Although what Li Qing could do was far from what Zeng Qingxu had hoped for, it was better than nothing, not to mention that Dingzhou's armament was world-famous, and the first-grade bows and crossbows produced were extremely sharp, if they could be obtained in large quantities, it would not be unhelpful for the Zeng clan to resist the invasion of the Lu clan.

When Zeng's envoys arrived in Dingzhou, Shunzhou had lost most of them, and Lü's army, under the command of Lü Fengchun, was approaching the capital of Shunzhou. After signing this document, Li Qing immediately ordered Deng Peng's naval division to set sail from Fuzhou loaded with ordnance. Around most of Dachu, set off towards the east.

At this time, King Ning and Xiao's army in Qinzhou were on the verge of breaking out, and Xiao Yuanshan personally came to Qinzhou to command the battle against the southern army.

Compared with the Central Plains, the scene of beacon fire everywhere, Dingzhou at this time, but more like a paradise, just in the spring ploughing season, Dingfu and the two states are a busy scene everywhere, some time ago because of the war and the delay of the farm work is now competing for the wonderful, and God is competing for the day, just handed over to Li Qing and the state is at the moment of handover, people's hearts are not so stable, a panicked image, but Li Qing is not panicked, there is a road to take charge of this matter, plus Lu Dalin commanded 10,000 soldiers stationed, nothing big happens, I heard that there are many magnates in Bingzhou who packed up their things and ran away, Li Qing was overjoyed, without these guys getting in the way, the promotion of the Dingzhou New Deal in Bingzhou is easier to carry out, as for the people, they are also panicking for a while, once the Dingzhou New Deal starts, they will only raise their hands to support the new master when they get the benefits. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Li Qing said in his heart, when Grandpa Mao beat the local tyrants and divided the land, he won the heartfelt support of hundreds of millions of farmers in China at that time.

At present, Li Qing is inspecting the counties, spring ploughing events, there is no room for negligence, Dingzhou Fuzhou itself is not a grain-producing area, the income of the whole state is simply not enough to support the people of the state, a large number of foreign imports are needed, although the state has been obtained, but just started, but it is not good to immediately transfer a large amount of grain from the state into the two states, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding and panic in the state, it is not fun, wait for next year, and the state is completely under their control, the three states work together, or can solve the food problem in the three states, and now the Central Plains is full of smoke, Grain has become a strategic material, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy a large number of tunji, but fortunately, a covenant was signed with the Xiao family, and most of the problems can be solved from the Xiao family, but the Xiao family who said that the dog did not want silver, and wanted ordnance in exchange, so Li Qing had to reduce his storage requirements for grain.

I hope that after opening up the sea route, I can get grain from Zeng's family, which is also the main grain-producing area! Li Qing thought as he walked.

"Dashuai, this is the cotton seed you handed over to me years ago, we have never planted this thing here, I found several veterans who have been waiting for crops for decades, carefully cared for them, and finally bred seedlings, Dashuai, you see, the tens of thousands of acres of land in front of you, but they are planted with this precious cotton seedling!" Long Sihai, who was on the side, said happily.

Today's Long Sihai is not the original rich man of Jing'an County, because he was the first to take out a large amount of real money to buy Li Qing's debts and was favored by Li Qing, and now he is a hot deacon of the Chamber of Commerce under the rule of Dingzhou, not only becoming Li Qing's designated supplier of military supplies, but also obtained the only qualification to try to plant cotton.

Of course, getting reused also assumes heavier responsibilities, from Li Qing's cautious explanation, Long Sihai can see that this new thing is an important surname in the heart of the handsome, trembling and waiting for a few months, seeing a seedling break out of the ground, Long Sihai, who lost several pounds, finally breathed a sigh of relief, as more young plants survived, Long Sihai knew that this new species was a success.

Li Qing dismounted and walked to the edge of the field, looked at the green seedlings happily, stroked the slightly fine fluffy leaves, raised his head and said to Long Sihai: "Do you know? In a few months, they will bloom, red and white, all over the fields, and the beautiful flowers are what we are going to reap, Mr. Dragon, you have opened up a new era of species, and what you have made with it will be all over the world, and you will be rich! ”

Long Sihai smiled and his eyes narrowed into a slit, "This is all the credit of the handsome, if it weren't for the handsome, how would the villain dare to plant this thing, even if he gets rich in the future, these riches are all handsome." ”

Li Qing laughed, "What's yours is yours, what's the matter, are you still afraid that I will rob you of your things, as long as you pay taxes according to the rules, no one will trouble you, Mr. Long, a businessman like you who loves Dingzhou, Li hopes that the more the better!" ”

Long Sihai bent down and said, "Dashuai's words are wrong. ”

"Oh, how could I be wrong?" Li Qing looked at him curiously, very strange that this guy actually had the courage to refute himself.

"Da Shuai, this kind of son is Da Shuai you got it, without them, there will be no these cotton seedlings, this is the source, the villain can't help but drink water and think of the source, besides, what to do in the future, the villain doesn't know at all, and I have to ask Da Shuai for guidance, so this thing will be easy to produce in the future, Da Shuai does not occupy the majority, how can it be said! If this is to be spread, the villain can't be mixed in the business community in Dingzhou! ”

Li Qing laughed and turned over on his horse, and said: "Mr. Long can speak, but what to do with this thing in the future, well, you can come to the Dashuai Mansion to find me, we can discuss and discuss, to be honest, although I know a little bit, but it is not very detailed, please refer to it, refer to it together!" ”

Long Sihai is overjoyed, compared with wealth, he now hopes to have a closer relationship with Dashuai, and Dashuai has a good relationship, wealth is within reach, at the beginning he only paid 100,000 taels of silver, but for more than a year, he has already earned back, and there is a big surplus, with this reason, he can justifiably enter the house, enter and exit the Dashuai's mansion, with this relationship, he is in Dingzhou, no, and Fuzhou, and the state, he is wearing a tiger skin, and he has a smooth entry and exit!

"Mr. Long, what are you going to do after making a fortune?" Li Qingxiao asked.

Long Sihai didn't think about it, "Of course it's to support the great cause of Dashuai!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Qing glanced at Long Sihai, what is a great cause, this is exquisite, could it be that his own mind even understands these businessmen clearly? His face couldn't help but sink.

As soon as Long Sihai spoke, when he saw Li Qing's face, he couldn't wait to slap himself, these things may not be known to the common people, but for them, the shrewd businessmen who go south and north, how can they not see it, and Long Sihai decided to invest in Li Qing at the beginning, and he has also obtained huge returns in the past two years, from his heart, the farther Li Qing goes, the farther he goes, but these things are to be buried deep in their hearts, even if everyone understands, but they can't tell it!

Riding the horse and walking for a while, the sweat on Long Sihai's head fell drop by drop, as Li Qing was silent for a longer time, Long Sihai's face became paler, seeing that this fat man was already crumbling on the horse, Li Qing figured it out, the current Da Chu is so chaotic, but anyone who understands has already seen this group of male cutting drama era, how can a shrewd person like Long Sihai not see it, but he wants to cover it up, and he has fallen down.

Glancing at Long Sihai, he couldn't help but say strangely: "Mr. Long, what's wrong with you?" ”

Long Sihai was like a fish that had been thrown ashore, panting heavily, and when he heard Li Qing's question, he hurriedly said, "No, it's nothing." ”

Glancing at Long Sihai again, Li Qing suddenly realized that he was frightened by himself, and couldn't help laughing, a person like Long Sihai has the ability and vision, but he is not very bold, but he is worthy of his own support.

"Mr. Long, Xiaotian has done a very good job as a counselor in the Marshal's Mansion, and he is worthy of being a talent and a teacher from you, he is very capable and a talented person." Li Qing said with a smile.

Long Sihai was overjoyed, obedient and listened to the sound, listening to the words of the handsome, he was about to promote his son, and said humbly: "The handsome Liao praised, the dog tried repeatedly after winning the show, and he really can't be praised by the handsome!" ”

"If you can't lift someone, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have talent, and if you win a lifter, you don't necessarily have to be a good official, these are two concepts, Xiaotian is very talented, I appreciate it. I am going to send him to Chongxian to serve as the magistrate. ”

Long Sihai was stunned all of a sudden, almost fainted by the great joy, what kind of place is Chongxian, that is the birthplace of the handsome! Being able to go there to serve as the last magistrate of the county is basically a step on the road to prosperity!

"The former magistrate of Chongxian County, Jiewei, I am ready to let him serve as the governor of the state, let Xiaotian go to Chongxian to be the magistrate of the county, and have a good experience!" Li Qingdao.

Sure enough, that's really the case, Chongxian has served two governors, Xu Yunfeng is the governor of Fuzhou first, and Jie Wei is about to be appointed as the governor of the state, so after that, the territory of the handsome is big, won't my Xiao Tian also have the opportunity to seal the town? Long Sihai couldn't hold it anymore, and fell off the horse with a bang. It made the horse team jump for a while. Fortunately, he has a lot of meat, and after he landed, he didn't need to be helped, a carp turned up, bowed deeply and said: "The villain thanks the handsome man for the dog's support, the Long family is full, and I am willing to go to the soup for the handsome, and I will never give up!" ”
