Spring ploughing season, Zhu Wen also needs to be busy, this year's spring ploughing for Shannan East Road has a decisive significance, Liu Ziheng governance of Shannan East Road, know that the requisition, the common people have almost no way to live, a large number of people have become homeless, the situation of land annexation is extremely serious, the festival degree makes the Yamen revise the township rules and regulations, stipulate the maximum amount of land rent has suffered huge resistance, fortunately, Li Rupei's toughness and the courage of the iron-blooded army, so that those gentry and rich households softened, they even sent people to Shannan West Road to check the situation, When he found that the gentry and wealthy families in Shannan West Road were obedient, he gave up the senseless struggle.

But no matter how good the policies and regulations are, there needs to be a support point, this support point is that the people can barely survive, can have food to eat, and do not starve to death.

Governments at all levels have taken out a large amount of grain to help the displaced people, but this kind of pay is difficult to bear for a long time, it can be said that Liu Ziheng during the period of the scavenging wealth, all the investment in it, it still seems a little insufficient, this is really in response to that sentence, the accumulation of wealth is like a needle picking soil, defeat is like water rushing sand.

If these requirements are not met, the officials in the yamen, as well as the local elders, Li Zheng and the capital of the first will be punished, so no one dares to ignore these requirements, and when it is time to raise seedlings, all of them go to the villages and towns, inspect and supervise, for fear that any link will be missed, resulting in uncontrollable consequences.

Zhu Wen, who was stationed in Suizhou, received many requests from Suizhou Assassin Shi and Fuzhou at this time, imploring the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to go to the villages and towns to help with spring plowing and production.

The situation in Suizhou and Fuzhou is somewhat special, as it is close to Anzhou and Chuzhou in Huainan Province. Huangchao's army was stationed here, because of Liu Ziheng's brutal policy, many people were reduced to exiles, and after they couldn't survive, they were forced to leave Suizhou and Fuzhou and join Huangchao's army. Therefore, the villages and towns in these two places are short of manpower, and many families are left with old, weak, women and children, and they are unable to cultivate the land at all.

In view of the special situation in Suizhou and Fuzhou, Li Rupei agreed to transfer the officers and men of the Iron and Blood Army to help the spring plowing and production in the two places, but everything must be carried out in accordance with the arrangements of the local government, and the deployment of the local government must not be interfered with without authorization.

In this way, Zhu Wen is very busy. Every day, soldiers had to be dispatched to form several groups and travel long distances to help the local spring ploughing production, because the soldiers were more difficult. Jiedu made the yamen specially allocate some extra military salaries as a subsidy for soldiers, and the local government did not need to take out these money and food.

Zhu Wen's personality is still a little irritable, and he has high requirements for sergeants. For example, if you go to Fuzhou to help with spring ploughing production, you must arrive within the specified time, and you must complete the task within the specified time. If you can't complete the task, you will definitely be punished, which causes the sergeant to be a little tired, but fortunately, the subsidy is relatively generous, and many soldiers are appeased from another aspect.

At the end of March, for two months in a row, almost all 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Iron Blood Army took turns to go out several times, and finally helped Suizhou and Fuzhou successfully complete the seedling raising and ploughing the land.

Zhu Wen was also very happy, he completed the order given by Li Rupei.

After being promoted to the general of the Iron and Blood Army, Zhu Wen's mood changed greatly, he knew very well that his identity was completely different from before, there were more than 70,000 soldiers in the Iron Blood Army, and the sergeants would be recruited in the future, and the scale would be larger, but the high-level of the Iron Army, that is, the general Li Rupei, the middle guard Gao Chibang, and the unified army Huang Biao, Song Hu and Yan Fu, the rest were ten generals, and he became a general at the top of the Iron Army, Zhu Wen knew that he had been appreciated by Li Rupei, if he continued to develop according to this trend, It is not a problem to get glory and wealth, and in the future, in front of the family, I will be able to raise my eyebrows.

Besides, his identity has been recognized by the imperial court, which is completely different from the situation under Huang Chao.

It is precisely because of this reason that Zhu Wen did things very seriously and very hard, even when the officers and men of the Iron and Blood Army helped Suizhou and Fuzhou to engage in spring ploughing production, he did not forget to investigate the military situation in Shenzhou, Anzhou and Chuzhou.

On this day, Zhu Wen was sorting out a lot of information that he had detected, and a letter was sent by his own soldiers.

After opening the letter, Zhu Wen was surprised that this letter was actually written by Bi Shiduo.

Zhu Wen and Bi Shiduo are very familiar, both of them used to be generals under Huang Chao, and later Bi Shiduo surrendered to Gao Biao, and was appreciated by Gao Biao, and his identity has completely changed.

The content of the last letter surprised Zhu Wen even more, it turned out that Bi Shiduo had come to Suizhou, living not far from the barracks, waiting to see him at any time.

Zhu Wen was naturally happy when his old friend visited, to say that Bi Shiduo took the initiative to visit, Zhu Wen still had a trace of pride in his heart, after all, the identity is different, the treatment is different, if he is still under the command of Huang Chao, Bi Shiduo will not be able to ask to see.

Zhu Wen was still a little cautious, and did not choose to meet in the military camp, but set the meeting place in Suizhou Prefecture, the iron-blooded army camp is less than ten miles away from Suizhou Prefecture, and it is very simple to get to the prefecture capital.

After careful preparations, Zhu Wen brought several personal soldiers to Suizhou City.

Entering the state city, Zhu Wen came directly to the restaurant that had been booked a long time ago.

Entering the private room, a man stood by the window with his back to the door, looking down, when he heard the sound of the door opening and turned around.

A smile appeared on Zhu Wen's face.

Someone came and spoke.

"General Zhu, I've been waiting here for a long time."

"There's General Laobi waiting, and so-and-so has just arrived from the barracks."

Inside the private room are Zhu Wen and Bi Shiduo, their own soldiers are waiting outside, the guys are not allowed to enter the private room, and all the wine and food are brought in by the personal soldiers.

After three glasses of wine, the two began to chat, Bi Shiduo talked about his situation over the years, and there was a lot of emotion in his words, in general, it was not easy to say, Zhu Wen also briefly talked about his own situation, the two of them were very careful when they spoke, avoiding mentioning Huang Chao, after all, Huang Chao was already their enemy.

After chatting, Bi Shiduo changed the topic and began to ask about Zhu Wen's current situation.

Zhu Wen remained silent and coped with it naturally.

In fact, both of them are wary, and they both want to know what the purpose of the other party is, after all, their identities are different, and the owners they are loyal to are not the same, so they naturally have to pay attention to what they say.

Zhu Wen is not a fool, Gao Biao is stationed in Yangzhou, Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Suizhou, Bi Shiduo rushed to Suizhou thousands of miles away, it is by no means as simple as thinking about meeting himself, there must be a purpose.

Bi Shiduo couldn't help but spoke first.

"General Zhu, Gao Dashuai has heard of your prestige for a long time, and I came to Suizhou this time to meet with General Zhu, and Gao Dashuai specially instructed that he must bring his greetings."

"The prestige of the tall and handsome, I have heard of it many times, and I admire it very much."

"General Zhu, you and a certain are brothers, some words will be said directly, Gao Dashuai is a little disgusted with Huainan Dao, he doesn't want to continue in Huainan Dao, he wants to go back to the capital, he is always fighting and killing, no one can bear it, but Gao Dashuai has so many subordinates around him, it is impossible to leave, Gao Dashuai is also very worried about the belonging of these subordinates, several times Gao Dashuai has said these things, and he doesn't know how to persuade him."

Zhu Wen was a little strange, what did Bi Shiduo say to himself about such a thing.

"Don't hide it from General Zhu, this time I came to Suizhou, it is to bring the meaning of Gao Dashuai, Gao Dashuai is very optimistic about General Zhu, if General Zhu does not object, Gao Dashuai is determined to recommend General Zhu to the imperial court, let General Zhu serve as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, Gao Dashuai values General Zhu so much, he is a little jealous."

Zhu Wen's face changed slightly, and he felt a little dizzy, Huainan Jiedu made this position tempting enough.

That is, in just a few breaths, Zhu Wen woke up.

"General Bi laughed, you can't joke with such words, you and so-and-so are brothers, don't say these words, drink and drink......"

Bi Shiduo didn't seem to give up, and continued to repeat the topic.

At this time, Zhu Wen was a little breathless, and his face sank.

"General Bi, you traveled thousands of miles to Suizhou to meet with a certain person, a certain is grateful for this brotherhood, a certain is now a general of the Iron and Blood Army, and he is thinking about the affairs of the Iron and Blood Army, and other things, a certain dare not think about it, you still don't talk about the affairs of the Huainan Jiedu Envoy."

At the end of the banquet, Bi Shiduo got up to say goodbye, but Zhu Wen did not stay.

After returning to the barracks, Zhu Wen thought for a long time, and began to write a letter to Li Rupei, he knew very well that this was what Gao Biao meant to win him over, Gao Biao had never met him at all, there were Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi and others around him, these people were all his brothers before, all under the command of Huang Chao, why did Gao Biao recommend him to be the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, wouldn't this be a child, if he Zhu Wen agreed to come down to this matter, wouldn't he let a big handle be pinched in Gao Biao's hands.

This kind of pediatrician co-optation, wanting to fool him Zhu Wen is really a joke.

The position of Huainan Jiedu envoy does have a huge temptation, once he becomes a Jiedu envoy, it is equivalent to being in charge of one party's people and property, and the power is very great, not to mention Huainan, a rich place.

Zhu Wen knows his identity very well, he used to be under the command of Huang Chao, he was a thief, he took refuge in Li Rupei and became the general of the Iron Army, which is hard-won, once the choice is wrong and he takes the wrong path again, it may be a catastrophe. (To be continued......)
