Reluctantly said goodbye to Mu Yuling, Lu Xiangsheng came closer, but he was embarrassed to ask what the eldest princess Zhu Yujiao meant. After waiting for a while, Yin Shigang and the other brigade went out of the city, Zhu Ping'an originally intended to invite Yang Tinglin and Zhao Guangluan, two officials who were demoted to Shandong, to set off together, but these two people were really simple, and the edict of the imperial court, these two people went straight to Shandong together. At this time, Wang Jinfa had already led the craftsmen from several households specially found by Wang Chengen to follow Zhu Ping'an's instructions.

The craftsmen of this period, at the bottom of the society, although directly belong to the Ministry of War, but the identity is extremely low, look at the few families in front of them, a total of only twenty people, but they are wearing tattered clothes, compared to the civilians in the Beijing Division, which shows the lowly identity of the craftsman and the hardships of life.

And these people looked at Zhu Ping'an and the others with a dazed and frightened look, facing this group of people who knew at a glance that they were martial artists, they felt scared from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't know what fate awaited them.

Fortunately, there are still many carriage and horse shops outside the city, Wang Jinfa ran back and forth, that is, he had already bought four big cars back, Yang Dekai's subordinates had a good way of driving, and Zhu Ping'an sent people to buy cotton clothes and food, and placed these craftsmen and their families in the carriage. These people were stunned for a while, and after they came to their senses, they all knelt on the ground and thanked Zhu Ping'an for his great kindness.

This made Zhu Ping'an a little sad. I finally persuaded these people, explaining that as long as they follow them to Shandong, not only will food and clothing be guaranteed. It can also be divided into each family's fields for cultivation, and these craftsmen are even more overjoyed.

Stabilizing these craftsmen, Yin Shigang rode over on horseback, "My lord, the affairs of the three mansions have also been completed, Qiu Ze and others have recruited thousands of young and strong people, and they are currently moving to Shandong Huihe in batches!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an said to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile: "This matter depends on the full help of the governor and Mr. Yao Dongzhao, so that these young people are willing to rush to Shandong!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, "Hebei has become red land, and the fields are barren. The people were displaced. After the Great Deer. The fathers and elders of the Sanfu tried to keep Lu in many ways, hoping that Lu could stay there, so that the land of the Sanfu would be restored to some vitality. But where can this matter be fulfilled! Now it is indeed a great good thing to be able to find a place for these homeless displaced people to live, and Lu Mou also wants to thank you for peace! ”

Zhu Ping'an arched his hand. "Shandong has been sacked by the Tartars. In particular, more than 200,000 people were taken captive. The localities are exhausted, and when the officials gain a firm foothold in Dengzhou and Weihai, they will inevitably need more manpower to replenish them. When the time comes, Ping'an will contact Mr. Yao again, as long as he is willing to come to Shandong, Zhu Ping'an will wait for him! “

Lu Xiangsheng laughed, Zhu Ping'an's move was tantamount to sending charcoal to the people of Hebei. What's more, Hebei and Shandong are adjacent to each other, and the climate, customs and terrain are quite similar, so migrating to Shandong is not considered to be uprooted, why not do it!

Yang Dekai and others also have a future, and the people of Sanfu also have a place to live, solving the two major troubles that linger in their hearts, and Lu Xiangsheng's mood is particularly refreshing.

At this time, a message came from the front that Lu Xiangsheng's old friend had arrived more than 30 miles outside the Jingshi City, and was resting in a tea house, inviting Lu Xiangsheng to go and talk about it.

Hearing that his old friend had arrived, Lu Xiangsheng was a little strange while being happy. Why did he stop moving forward in front of the gate of Jingshi City, didn't he enter the Jingmian Saint?

So, the group urged the horses to raise the whip, and after a while, they rushed to the tea house where the family was.

The weather in June, has been a bit of a summer, the weather is strange recently, except for two not too heavy rains in April, so far there has never been a drop of rain falling, seeing that this year is like a year of great drought, the farmland along the way is all cracked and drought, farmers can only sigh.

The tea house is hidden in a green willow forest on the side of the official road, there are only three thatched houses, the flag of the tea house is not moving, hanging listlessly on the long wooden pole, and there are occasional cicadas in the forest, compared with the prosperity of the Beijing Division, it seems quiet and silent here.

There are two carriages parked outside the courtyard, and there are more than ten sturdy figures scattered everywhere, although they are dressed in civilian clothes, they are wearing weapons, their eyes are constantly patrolling the environment in all directions, and they can hear the sound of horses' hooves, and more than ten men invariably surround them, and their hands are pressed on the hilt of the knife, and they are waiting until they see Yang Dekai, who is the leader, and they are relieved.

In front of the door of the tea house, the men greeted them and respectfully grabbed the horses of Lu Xiangsheng and others, but Lu Xiangsheng couldn't wait to throw the stirrups off the horse, and shouted with a smile: "Where is Governor Sun, Lu Xiangsheng, please see!" ”

A group of men looked at each other, and they all had smiles on their faces, obviously knowing that their adults had a good relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, and Ping Suli spoke like this.

There was a panic in the tea house, but no one came out, but in a vegetable field on the side of the road, there was a laugh and scolding: "Okay, you Lu Jiandou, now you are already a young guard, but you came to make fun of me, the general of the defeated army!" ”

Everyone followed the sound, but saw an old man of about fifty years old standing in the vegetable field, wearing a hat on his head, wearing a cloth coat, trousers rolled up high, and no shoes on his feet.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and bowed his hand, "Brother Boya, don't come to harm!" Speaking of which, you're such a big shelf! It is only more than 30 miles away from Jingshi, and it has stagnated, is it waiting for the nobles to go out of the city to greet him in person? ”

The old man took these freshly picked vegetables in his hand, brushed off the dust, and walked out of the vegetable field, but he didn't answer the question, "This year's harvest is worrying!" Beizhili, Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places have been in drought for three consecutive years, which is really not a blessing for the country! ”

After speaking, he handed the hat and green vegetables to his subordinates, "Take them to the back and hand them to Mrs., tell Mrs. Sù, Lu Shaobao came to visit today, ask her to cook in person, cook a few dishes, and the old man wants to have a few drinks with the new Shaobao!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly laughed again, "Sun Boya has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and he still can't afford to lose a little!" ”

Only then did Zhu Ping'an know that the old man in front of him, who looked like an old peasant, turned out to be Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shandong, Henan, and Hebei provinces, who had just been appointed by the imperial court.

When Zhu Ping'an was carefully looking at Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng pulled him over. "It's not the foolish brother who came here today, so Brother Boya shouldn't make fun of it. This is the little friend that the foolish brother met in Julu, Zhu Ping'an, but he has not yet performed the crown salute, and he has never had a word, so Brother Boya can call him Ping'an. Hehe, Ping'an Xiaoyou is the personal disciple of that Lu Zhenfei! ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he looked up and down carefully, but he immediately stood up and solemnly saluted Zhu Ping'an. Frightened, Zhu Ping'an hurriedly got out of the way. "Why is Sun like this? The lower officials are far below the adults in terms of age and official positions, so the lower officials are terrified! ”

Sun appeared in court but waved his hand, "No." You deserve this gift. Not to mention that you can't kill the enemy in the battle of the giant deer. I only said that you saved Brother Jiandouxian. It is worth the old man to thank you. ”

Sun Chuanting let the two of them go to the tea hut. Bian said: "The situation of the giant deer, the old man was always concerned about it that day. With the old man's understanding of Jiandou, he had already expected that he would not hesitate to fight to the death with the Tartars. If it weren't for Zhu Xiaoyou's birth, Jiandou, if it wasn't for what the old man said, I'm afraid you would lead the army north to a decisive battle at the real time, right? ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded with emotion, "What Brother Boya said is right. On that day, Wang Pu led the army to the west, and the foolish brother was helpless, but fortunately, the virtuous brother of Ping An made a quick decision, and my army avoided the end of being torn apart! ”

When the two of them said this, Zhu Ping'an was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. At this time, a child with a bun came running from the backyard, seeing that he was only five or six years old, he ran in and crashed into Lu Xiangsheng's arms.

"Uncle Lu, it's really you!" The child opened a pair of big eyes and was delighted, and reached out to grab Lu Xiangsheng's beard.

"Shining, don't be rude!" Sun Chuanting immediately shouted, but there was not much blame in his voice, and it seemed that he was very doting on this child.

Lu Xiangsheng also seems to be very fond of this child, and a beautiful hair under his chin was only combed during the battle of the giant deer, but now it is neat, but he is allowed to grasp the child in his hand.

It turned out that this child was Sun Chuanting's youngest son, named Sun Shining. Sun Chuanting has two sons and one daughter, and he only got this child when he was nearly fifty years old, and he has been serving in the Beijing division and fighting in all directions, so he is very doting on this young son.

"Shining, don't be so formless in front of your uncle!" With the sound from the backyard, a white-faced middle-aged man, one tall and one short, two young people, surrounded an old woman and walked into the front hall.

Seeing this, Sun Shining hurriedly jumped out of Lu Xiangsheng's arms, and Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Ping'an hurriedly got up. It was Sun Chuanting's wife Zhang, the middle-aged man was his eldest Sun Shirui, and the tall young man was his nephew Sun Shikang, both of whom are currently serving in Beijing, and this time they specially accompanied Mrs. Sun to greet Sun Chuanting. And that short young man was gentle and lovely, very similar to Mrs. Sun's eyebrows, but it turned out to be Sun Chuanting's daughter Sun Ruoxuan.

Sun Shirui's brothers and sisters gave Lu Xiangsheng a salute, but when they arrived at Zhu Ping'an, they didn't know what to call them, or Zhu Ping'an reacted quickly, and hurriedly said that he was the same age as Sun Shirui and others, so they intersected with each other as equals.

When everyone heard that Zhu Ping'an was the hero of the battle of Julu that was known in the streets, and he was also the deputy general of Dengzhou who was personally sealed by the emperor, they couldn't help but have the intention of making friends, and they immediately greeted Zhu Ping'an. Even Sun Ruoxuan, who was hiding behind his father and brother, couldn't help but peek at Zhu Ping'an. Sun Shining pulled Zhu Ping'an with admiration, and said that he would also follow Zhu Ping'an to join the army, kill more Tartars, and share his father's worries.

The innocent words suddenly made everyone laugh.

Sun Chuanting originally intended to let Mrs. Sun cook herself and cook a few side dishes, but Mrs. Sun seemed to be in poor health, so Sun Ruoxuan did it for her.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink tea, Lu Xiangsheng asked Sun Chuanting again why he didn't enter the city when he arrived near Jingshi, and whether there was anything other than that.

Sun Chuanting changed into a long shirt and poured tea for Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Ping'an, and then sighed: "It's not a secret, although Yang Sichang has left Beijing, his henchmen are still powerful. Earlier, because of the Tartars' entry into the Kou and the extermination of the Liukou, the old man had already had a dirty relationship with Yang Sichang, but he didn't expect him to still hold a grudge at this time. The two should still remember that when Hong Hengjiu entered Beijing, he was summoned by the emperor in person. However, before the old man entered Beijing, he had already handed over a note to explain the strategy of using troops this time, but he was framed and obstructed by Yang Sichang, forced the Shaanxi army to enter Jiliao, and ordered the old man not to enter Beijing and go directly to take office! ”

Sun Chuanting slapped his thigh, "Brother Jiandouxian, please see, how does this make the old man the governor of the three provinces appointed by the imperial court, and he will go to the post before the strategy is decided, how to act after he arrives." Zhang Xianzhong is now in Huguang, but Li Zicheng does not know his whereabouts, I don't know when he will raise troops again, there is no strategy, they are fighting separately, how to exterminate this rogue? The old man was angry, so he asked to see the saint again, but he didn't expect Yang Sichang to leave Beijing and didn't know what to say in front of the emperor, and he even rejected the invitation to see him!
