After the accident of the family. We must carry out our ideals. A powerful propaganda tool for the people is indispensable, so Wang Dou sent Han Chao to contact Xie Youcheng.

Hearing that the defense master wanted to promote his own godson, Xie Youcheng agreed without hesitation. He does this through his own personal experience. Coupled with his own troupe members, he created a series of shows in a short period of time. Sure enough, very good results were achieved.

He still had tears on his face. After listening to Wang Dou's words, he knelt down with a puff and said: "As long as the adults can beat their godsons, no matter the sword and neck, the axe and the money are on the body, and the small ones are only the adults and horses."

Wang Dou helped him up and said, "Boss Xie, get up and speak." ”

Helping Xie Youcheng up, Wang Dou confessed: "Next." Not only do you have to perform in Shunxiang Fort, but also in the forts under your jurisdiction, try to arouse the morale of the people, and just tell me what funds you need

While using the opera troupe to publicize and arouse the morale of the people, Wang Dou also strengthened the control of the people entering and leaving Shunxiang Fort.

At the various intersections leading to Shunxiang Fort a few miles away, Wang Dou set up checkpoints, and set up a number of sergeants for each card, and strictly interrogated the road guides and household stickers of the passers-by. Arrest immediately. If you dare to resist, you can kill them on the spot!

For homeless beggars, it is also forcibly contained. At the same time. Wang Dou also strengthened the management of merchants in the fort.

Wang Dou has always been wary of merchants in the late Ming Dynasty, these people can do all kinds of shameless things for the sake of wealth and their own families. Who knows if there will be a Qing State in Shunxiang Fort? At the most critical time of the war, if there are merchants who buy scum and open the door, Shunxiangbao will have the same tragedy as Tieling, Kaiyuan, Fushun, Liaoyang and other places.

From May 18, the ninth year of Chongzhen. As with Wang Dou in Jingbian Fort before, Shunxiang Fort began to implement the merchant city registration system, Lin Daofu, Feng Dachang, a few scribes, and Han Chao led some night non-collecting, and each merchant was strictly and carefully audited. Register the name of the head of their household, what kind of people are in the store, where they are worth, what they do, etc., and check them one by one.

In particular, some foreign merchants are even more strict with their audits, and these people also need to have a guarantor before they can continue to camp in the fort.

Lai Mancheng said: "Lord Defend the King to register merchants. Just in case of outlaws in the fort, this. He can understand. However, he Lai Mancheng is the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and hates Lezi and bandits, Chongzhen's seven-year godson harassed Shunxiangbao, and the Qingtianfu Commercial Bank at that time also donated money and materials, and hated the same enemy. The Guardian compares him to the other merchants. That's a bit excessive! Anyway, he is the nephew of Lord Xu Zucheng, the ethics officer, and he has to look at the face of the Buddha if he doesn't look at the monk's face, right? ”

The nephew of Lord Integrity, Lin Daofu and Feng Dachang were a little hesitant and came to ask Wang Dou what he meant.

This kind of thing, Wang Dou had encountered Du Gong and his brother-in-law Xie Cihe before, and he adhered to his principles at that time, and the same was true for Lai Mancheng, but it was related to the integrity officer Xu Zucheng. Let's do it yourself.

When he saw Lai Mancheng in Qingtianfu Commercial Bank, Wang Douluo was a little surprised, this Lai Mancheng was not very old, less than thirty years old, he was born with oily hair and flour, and he was shaking a gold-sprinkled fan in his hand, not like a businessman. Instead, it's like a son.

However, although he has a buoyant appearance, the occasional light in his eyes let Wang Dou know that this person is not as simple as his appearance.

Seeing Wang Dou, Lai Mancheng was also a little surprised, Wang Dou served as the defensive officer of a fort at such a young age. It's just as rare.

Lai Mancheng is very old-fashioned in dealing with people. On the face, I couldn't see at all that not long ago, he had said something about complaining to Wang Dou, but he just greeted Wang Dou with a smile, and the two of them were easily cold

However, when it came to the merchant registration of Shunxiangbao, Lai Mancheng just grinned and smiled, shaking his fan noncommittally, which was very slippery.

Wang Dou looked at him and smiled: "Brother Lai, when Emperor Xian was on the throne, I fell in Tieling, Kaiyuan, Fushun, Liaoyang and other places. I guess you know why, right? ”

Lai Mancheng shook his fan and said: "My uncle mentioned this matter to me, and the Dongnu armor soldiers were sharp at that time. The officers and soldiers of the national dynasty were invincible, but the cities in Liaoyang and other places were high and thick, and if it weren't for the careful opening of the door, it would not be so easy for Dongnu to seize the city."

After a pause, Xu Zucheng said again: "Wang Dou, I am very optimistic about you, but you are still young, pay attention to the administration should not be too impatient, and be gentle."

Some time ago, Wang Dou relieved thousands of victims, which caused a sensation in the state city, and many people knew that there was a young defender named Wang Dou in Shunxiang Fort. When I heard the news. Xu Zucheng was also a little surprised.

However, he calmed down and did not recruit Wang Dou to ask him why he had such financial resources. Everyone has gray income, and Xu Zucheng is no exception. Relying on his money, he can't support the cadres under him, even if he deducts military salaries, it is useless, after all, he defends the place. Very little food and wages came down in the DPRK and China.

Xu Zucheng only needs Wang Dou to master Shunxiang Fort. Maintain your loyalty to him and add strength to your own battle for the position of garrison in the future.

What worried Xu Zucheng was the departure of Xu Lu and others some time ago, and Shunxiangbao left four management officers in one go, although these people were Wen Shiyan in the name of the Weicheng Guantun official, and Xu Lu. Lan Bulian, Sister Liu, and Yu Qingyuan were transferred to the Acropolis, and then Xu Lu and a few people left.

However, if there was no reason for Wang Dou's persecution, they would have continued to stay in Shunxiang Fort.

In Xu Zucheng's thoughts, it should be Wen Fangliang who was forced to leave, how could it be Xu Lu and others?

Now there are rumors in the Acropolis that the defender of Shunxiang Fort, Wang Dou, is unkind and rejects the henchmen of the old master. This kind of remark is unfavorable to Xu Zucheng and Wang Dou, and the garrison Li Yi'an is still waiting to send someone to ask Xu Zucheng about the reason for the matter.

Xu Zucheng was a little surprised by Wang Dou's courage. Drove away the four officers in one go, but it was not a good thing for the young man to be overly bold. So Xu Zucheng said this.

Teaching Xu Zucheng. Wang Dou could only give a deep salute, and he couldn't tell anyone about Xu Lu's affairs.

Coming out of the Integrity Mansion, Wang Dou thought about it, and when he came to the state city, he still went to visit the Confucianism Zhengfu Mingqi's house ().

Since Wang Dou and Fu Mingqi got acquainted in March, the two have become close friends and have been in contact from time to time. In fact, Wang Dou has almost no friends now. Others and subordinates are either afraid of him, or respectful, or hateful, and there are few people who associate with him on an equal footing.

After having a deep contact with Fu Mingqi, I felt that this person spoke wittily, without the sourness of ordinary literati, and without the shelf and old-fashioned style of learning. Wang Dou felt that chatting with Fu Mingqi was easy and pleasant, and Fu Mingqi also found Wang Dou talking very interesting. Sometimes watching Wang Dou speak, Fu Mingqi was always thinking. Is this person still from an ordinary dun army? The fact is certain, so Fu Mingqi feels that Wang Dou is mysterious, and from time to time he will go to Shunxiang Fort to chat with Wang Dou.

Shunxiangbao opened a children's school at the same time as the fourth, and Fu Mingqi would often go down to teach a few lessons.

Fu Mingqi's small courtyard is located in the corner of the city, a very elegant courtyard.

Before coming to the small courtyard, Wang Dou asked several guards to wait outside the courtyard while parking the horses outside.

He pushed the door into the courtyard and shouted, "Old Fu, Old Fu." ”

But I heard a voice from inside, and then Fu Mingqi and two women walked out of the house, and a young woman dressed up. In his twenties, he is graceful and luxurious. The other is a girl in the flower season, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate face, flexible eyes, and a variety of charms in circulation.

Wang Dou was stunned for a moment, the two women had seen it themselves, but it was last year, the young lady of the Zhizhou Mansion, and the girl who was called Ji Xiaoniangzi.

When the two daughters came out, they all walked to Fu Ming Qi Shili, and the little lady said: "I am really grateful to have Mr. Lao to solve my doubts."

When she said this, Wang Dou's voice sounded.

Hearing Wang Dou shouting Fu Mingqi with a big grin, "The old Fu and the two daughters all looked at Wang Dou in surprise.
