Chapter 208: Family Reunion

Two months have passed, and in the blink of an eye, in November, Li Rupei's arrangements have been slowly implemented, and there are two biggest things done during this period, one is the allocation of senior officers of the Iron and Blood Army and the recruitment of sergeants, according to the requirements of the establishment, Li Rupei naturally became the general of the Iron and Blood Army, Gao Chibang became the protector of the Iron and Blood Army, Huang Biao, Song Hu and Yan Fu were appointed as the commanders of the Iron and Blood Army, Zhao Laibao, Zhu Wen, Xie Yuxin and others became the generals of the Iron and Blood Army, and Xie Yuxin was appointed as the general of the Iron and Blood Army. Contrary to many people's expectations, after all, Xie Yuxin was born as a scholar, and he did not make any great contributions for the time being, but when Gao Chibang and Huang Biao and others were nominated, the key thing they thought of was loyalty.

The second thing is related to the stability of Shannan East Road, this matter is jointly responsible for Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang, in accordance with the requirements of Shannan West Road, it is fully rolled out, but it is divided into three steps, the first step is to stabilize the displaced people in various places, the government is responsible for relieving the displaced people, so that the displaced people have food to eat, so that they will not starve to death, and mobilize the vast majority of the displaced people to return to their respective homes, the second step is to adjust the officials at all levels of government, a total of more than 40 people before and after, the focus is to adjust the chief officials of Fuzhou County, Most of these chief officials were transferred from Shannan West Road, and the third step was to establish various rules and regulations, which were issued by the Yamen in the form of documents and implemented by all localities.

In just two months, great changes have taken place in various parts of Shannan East Province, the displaced people have disappeared, and the peasants will not wander around as long as they have food to eat, as long as they do not starve to death, and their sense of dependence on the land is very strong.

The only place where they encountered difficulties was the rich gentry, because it was clear that the rent would touch their interests, but Cui Anqian's tough methods and the courage of the iron-blooded army made these rich gentry dare not mess around, and their interests were not fundamentally touched, but their income was less than before.

The psychology of imbalance and resentment among the wealthy gentry. Li Rupei is very clear, but he knows even more that if you want Shannan West Road to be stable, these things must be done, and if you safeguard the interests of some people, you will inevitably touch the interests of another part, after all, it is necessary to stabilize the vast majority of people.

It takes great courage to comprehensively rectify Shannan East Road in accordance with the method of managing Shannan West Road.

Cui An is the envoy of Shannan East Road, and is fully responsible for the livelihood of Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road. Originally, he was still a little worried, but the huge changes in Shannan Dongdao surprised him, and at this time, he found that in terms of people's livelihood matters, Li Rupei's ability is also extraordinary.

The palace has long been rested, and Li Rupei has also moved in to work and live, but the princess and others have not yet moved over, and Li Rupei has no one to take care of him. That is, some of the personal soldiers accompanied the palace, but fortunately, Li Rupei was used to this kind of life, and he was able to take care of himself in daily life and food.

Cui An sneaked to the palace several times, and after seeing such a situation. Some couldn't help it, the dignified prince, who took care of his own living and eating, watched the climate slowly get cooler. Li Rupei's side must be taken care of, and the huge palace must also have a hostess, so he suggested that Cui Hanlei come to Xiangyang. But Li Rupei's reason for thinking about it is that Cui Hanlei is pregnant, whether the long-distance attack will have an impact, and if it doesn't work, he will wait until he gives birth and then come to Xiangyang.

Cui Anqian was very moved when he heard Li Rupei's reason, and he didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly wrote a letter to his wife and daughter, asking them to move to Xiangyang Palace as soon as possible and take care of Li Rupei's daily life.

Cui Anqian was taken care of by his side, and he originally wanted to arrange a few maids to Li Rupei's side, but for other reasons, he didn't arrange it in the end.

Liu Yunzhang and Cui Anqian are as anxious, for more than two months, all the affairs of the palace are done by the soldiers, the prince's living and eating are taken care of by himself, and there is no woman around to take care of life, this is definitely not good, and the prince has a lot of things, and often needs to go to Fuzhou County to take a look, even if it is in the palace, there are many things to consider, so after Liu Yunzhang and Cui Anqian discussed, they thought that the princess must come to Xiangyang, even if she is pregnant, she can walk slowly on the road.

After Cui Hanlei received her father's letter, she looked at it and shed tears, she never thought that this time her husband left Liangzhou, for two months, she knew all the things that happened, her husband led the iron-blooded army to occupy Xiangyang and Shannan Dongdao, and her father also went to Xiangyang from the capital to serve as the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, and the reason why her husband did not ask her to go to Xiangyang was that she was pregnant, and the letter also made it clear that Li Rupei had no maid to take care of him, and the palace did not have a special person to manage it. As a result, Li Rupei's life is very casual.

Liang, who has been accompanying Cui Hanlei, immediately showed the demeanor of a strong woman after reading the letter, she found Xie Guoxi and Song Hu, and asked them to arrange everything, all the luggage and items in the palace and everyone, all ready, and they will move to Xiangyang soon.

Xie Guoxi and Song Hu complied with the order and spared no effort to make arrangements.

Song Hu arranged a thousand soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to personally lead the team to be responsible for the relocation.

The first to set off was Cui Qiuyue and some of the maids.

Liang accompanied Cui Hanlei, who was pregnant, along with Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan and others, and slowly hurried.

Liang already knew that Yu Yurong and Yu Lianhan were two girls, and they also knew that they had always been by Li Rupei's side, and the two girls did not sleep, which made Liang feel surprised, if it weren't for the fact that his daughter was pregnant, Liang would have to wonder if there was something wrong with his son-in-law, Liang had asked Cui Hanlei specifically, and learned that Li Rupei would marry Cui Qiuyue and other girls only after Cui Hanlei gave birth, and there was too much emotion in his heart.

Women generally don't care much about political affairs, mainly concerned about the short things in the family, Liang felt through the words of his daughter, Li Rupei is indeed not an ordinary man, even in terms of life, the requirements are very strict, this is a man she has never seen.

Liang sighed that his daughter's fate was good and she was able to marry such an excellent man.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army paid special attention to the fact that Liangzhou was more than a thousand miles away from Xiangyang, and according to the original plan, the distance traveled by the horse team would not exceed a hundred miles every day, but Liang and Cui Hanlei were a little anxious and didn't care about walking more than a hundred miles every day, so they walked more than a hundred miles every day.

According to Cui Anqian's request, the place where the team passed by, don't trouble the local government, but the princess passed by, it is impossible for the local government to be indifferent, at least in terms of food, it is necessary to take care of it, Liang and Cui Hanlei will not pay attention to these aspects, Song Hu is personally responsible for the contact along the way.

In the process of going to Xiangyang, Song Hu and others paid the most attention to the princess's body, after all, the princess was pregnant, which was unusual for Li Rupei, and even more significant to everyone.

Cui Hanlei is nearly four months pregnant, and she really needs to pay great attention, she has almost no action along the way, except for walking off the carriage every day to hang out, the rest of the time is basically on the carriage.

Liang pays special attention to taking care of her daughter, a woman's birth is equivalent to passing the ghost gate, the mother must feel sorry for her daughter, and the most famous midwife in Liangzhou also followed the action and took care of Cui Hanlei along the way.

On September 25, the brigade arrived in Xiangyang.

When Cui Hanlei and others arrived in Xiangyang, Li Rupei personally went to the city gate to greet them.

He didn't know that Cui Hanlei and the others had set off to Xiangyang, after all, all this was directly arranged by Cui Anqian and the Liang family, but after Cui Qiuyue arrived in Xiangyang ahead of schedule, Li Rupei knew all the arrangements, and he was a little worried, after all, Cui Hanlei was pregnant, and if she ran for a long distance, it would definitely be bad for her body.

Outside the city gate, he saw Li Rupei waiting outside the pavilion from a distance, Song Hu hurriedly dismounted and informed Cui Hanlei and Liang in the carriage.

Knowing that Li Rupei personally came to greet him outside the city gate, Liang and Cui Hanlei were very surprised, it is said that such a small matter should not trouble Li Rupei, after all, Li Rupei needs to do too much.

Liang helped Cui Hanlei get out of the carriage, although Cui Hanlei was pregnant, but at this time, Cui Hanlei had to get out of the carriage, and according to the rules, she should do the same.

Li Rupei saw Liang and Cui Hanlei who got out of the carriage, he stepped forward quickly, first saluted Liang, and then naturally supported Cui Hanlei.

Liang on the side saw Li Rupei's action, turned his head to wipe away the tears that flowed out, saw Li Rupei's action with his own eyes, and thought of his daughter's happy life in the future, of course Liang had too much emotion.

The palace had already prepared everything, and Cui Qiuyue came to Xiangyang in advance to make a lot of preparations.

When Cui Hanlei entered the gate of the palace, she had a smile on her face, she was very happy, from this time on, she was the hostess here, the palace and the festival made the yamen different, the festival made the yamen is the official mansion, living in the backyard is always a little restrained, but you can enter the palace, that is the world of the family.

The Liang family naturally wanted to go to the Yamen of Jiedu, but the distance between the Yamen and the palace was not far from the palace.

The feeling of a family reunion is extraordinary, Cui Qiuyue specially arranged a banquet in the palace, Cui Anqian, Liang and others went to the palace, this is a pure family banquet, no outsiders participated.

When Li Rupei and Cui Anqian raised their glasses, their expressions were different, Cui Anqian's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, he was very happy to have the current situation, and he couldn't imagine it before, but Li Rupei's face appeared with a smile and contemplation, the responsibility on his shoulders was even greater, for his family, for the people around him, for many iron-blooded soldiers and officials, he had to keep fighting.
