"Lu Bing, come back and help me, I need you." Zhu Houxi said.

Lu Bing nodded and said, "Okay, but can you give me a Jinshi background?" ”

"Of course you can, this is not a problem at all, you were admitted to the Jinshi, even if you don't participate in the palace examination, you are also a legitimate Jinshi, so it doesn't hurt that I give you the Jinshi background." Zhu Houxi said happily.

The two monarchs and ministers, the brothers reconciled, but in Zhu Houxi's view, but Lu Bing's heart already had a crack, a crack that was difficult to eliminate.

The emperor has been an emperor for a long time, and he is used to the days when everyone revolves around him, and it is normal for him to come and go when he is called, but as an ordinary person, where is it so simple to reunite after breaking the mirror.

Lu Bing galloped all the way back to Shandong, he didn't have to take the palace exam anymore, he was very relaxed, said goodbye to Lu Song and his family, Lu Bing was going to take Meng Xueqing and other big families to the capital. Besides, Lu Bing wants to leave Zhu Houxi for a period of time, and he needs to think carefully about what position is appropriate for Lu Bing.

Lu Bing thought that he was about to see his family, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, this time he would be entrusted with the reuse of being an official in Beijing, whether it was civil or military, so he must leave some family members in the capital. It's not that Zhu Houyu doesn't trust himself, but the rules of the feudal dynasty have always been, everyone agrees that civil officials enter Beijing without bringing their relatives, or if the general has to bring his family members when he goes on the expedition, it is a precursor to rebellion, and Zhu Houxi, as the supreme ruler, will definitely suspect it, and it is not so comfortable to be suspected by him.

Lu Bing's family has a big business, so naturally he has to be taken care of. Then who to bring into Beijing is a problem, this is one of Lu Bing's headaches.

Secondly, there is still a difficult thing for Lu Bing, that is, about Shandong's industry. Although today's fishing grounds and markets are not as good as the Shen family's business. The inadequacy is not that it is not profitable and durable. It is that the Shen family has accumulated for many years and has formed a huge industrial chain, and every link is linked to each other, so it may be inferior in terms of the total number, but the market model alone is enough to compete with the Shen family's old-fashioned business system, and Lu Bing is slightly better than Lu Bing in the same field.

Even though Lu Bing is not greedy for money, the money he makes in Dengzhou Mansion is also a lot, and he can't help but feel a pity if he gives up in vain. Besides, money can make the devil grind. In the future, the officialdom of the capital will inevitably spend money, and the annual funding of the Shen family is not enough, and it will definitely fall into the weakness of being controlled by others in the future. In addition, economic power is also a kind of soft power. It is an indispensable and important capital of Lu Bing.

Besides, Lu Bing had promised a lot to the people of Dengzhou, but now there are many that have not been completed, and Lu Bing is unwilling to break his trust. Of course, there is another important reason, Lu Bingruo is gone. The whole pattern has been established. Even if you give it to others for nothing, the latecomers will definitely occupy the magpie's nest, and Lu Bing will lose Dengzhou. Lu Bing wants to leave a place where he has a foundation, and Shandong Dengzhou is exactly what Lu Bing wants and needs.

In Shandong, Lu Bing has a wide range of contacts, and it is not too much to call him the emperor of the soil, not to mention that Lu Bing also has more than 10,000 horses under Cai Longyu for him to deploy, which is also a large force. Since Lu Bing's funding. Cai Longyu's soldiers are strong and strong, and the soldiers are becoming more and more powerful. Lu Bing saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. Military strength is a necessary strength, in the past for such a long time, Lu Bing did not completely belong to his own strength at all, except for the group of elite soldiers in his backyard, and now Cai Longyu's addition has allowed Lu Bing to have troops.

However, although Cai Longyu has gradually become stronger, he does not oppose the imperial court, and he is a lot more low-key according to Lu Bing's requirements on weekdays, coupled with Lu Bing's influence, none of the officials at all levels in Shandong have reported to the imperial court, so no one knows that Lu Bing still has such a force, which can be described as stealing the sky and changing the day.

This is also the reason why Dengzhou cannot be abandoned, unless Lu Bing is here, no one can cover it up when others come, once it is reported to Zhu Houxi or the bigwigs in the court, then the charge of usurping the throne of the private soldier Mu Dynasty can be smashed over as if he didn't want money.

Cai Longyu's team is growing, even though he is very righteous, but for Lu Bing, he is still an outsider, and he can't talk about a lifelong friendship. Therefore, Lu Bing asked Xia Dade to assist Cai Longyu, firstly, to monitor him, and secondly, to be able to divide Cai Longyu's power at the opportunity, lest there be changes in the future, and also set an example of decentralization and checks and balances for the troops below, so as to facilitate future rectification.

Cai Longyu didn't think much about it when he saw the stupid Xia Dade in the five big and three rough and stupid, Xia Dade was quite arrogant, and he thought that Lu Bing was making the best use of it, so in order to express his gratitude, he also specially gave Lu Bing's second brother Xia Dade an airborne second position, in addition to Cai Longyu, Xia Dade has the most power in face, but Xia Dade still needs to be slowly eroded and scraped in terms of real power.

If Cai Longyu knew that Xia Dade belonged to a smart person who was well hidden, it is estimated that he should be very annoyed at this moment, but in the face of a natural actor like Xia Dade, Cai Longyu, a sincere person, would not be able to find it at all.

Lu Bing wants to keep a principal in Shandong, when it comes to talent and loyalty, there is no second choice, it is the most suitable to marry his wife Meng Xueqing, but in this way, he will be separated from Meng Xueqing, thinking of this, Lu Bing's heart is unspeakably uncomfortable. This kind of thing also needs to respect Meng Xueqing's meaning, Lu Bing knew that if he said it himself, Meng Xueqing would definitely do it, but it was too disrespectful of Meng Xueqing's inner choice, so Lu Bing was ready to have a family meeting.

When Lu Bing rushed back to Shandong, it was already approaching the New Year, and the New Year's flavor in Dengzhou Mansion was very strong. In the past two years, the lives of the people in Dengzhou Mansion have undergone earth-shaking changes, not only are they rich, but they are not worried about the harassment of ruffians and hooligans on the streets, and now even the horse bandits have disappeared, and no one is not grateful to Master Lu Binglu for his contributions. The improvement of living standards and public order has made most of the people energetic, and this year can be lively, after all, the year is a festival for wealthy families, and for the poor, the year is just a new year.

Lu Bing didn't go home first, but went to the fishing ground first, and sure enough, Meng Xueqing and Shen Yew were both in command of the fishing ground, and the fishing boats also braved the cold wind to go to sea. There were two big ships moored in the harbor, and this ship was so large that Lu Bing couldn't help but think of the days when he braved the wind and waves to fight the Japanese invaders. At that time, he was high on the central fortune ship, commanding the fleet to be invincible, what a majesty and domineering. All nations are obeyed by me, and this is the great cause of a man's life.

"Huh?" Lu Bing was stunned. He saw that a number of workers were carrying a huge furnace with ropes towards the big ship, and there were also many people with foreign accents on the docks heading towards another big ship.

Lu Bing was curious, what is this Shen Yew going to do, if it is fishing, there are many places in the country that can fish, his own fishing grounds and markets are already very mature, and the two parties are business partners, there is no need to compete with himself for this benefit. In other words. Even if Shen Yew, who has no official background, wants to slowly encroach on Lu Bing's Dengzhou, it is not so easy, and Shen Yew will not do such a senseless action so blatantly. Besides, Meng Xueqing is here, if this is the case, she will not allow it.

But if it is said to be a cargo transit station, it is possible, since the ban on the sea. It is difficult for goods to come ashore. The Shen family has several secret shore ports in Quanzhou and other places. After the money was paid, the local officials turned a blind eye and let the Shen family smuggle away.

It's just that no matter how you say it, this is also illegal, and everything is far from being as bright as landing in Lu Bing's Dengzhou Mansion. Therefore, once Shen Yew expands its overseas business, it is very likely to set up a transit point on Long Island. It is very convenient for ships to go around the open sea into Bohai Bay, and then stop at Changdao, whether it is sent to the capital or from Dengzhou and then sent to the whole country.

If there are ships docked, there will naturally be ships that need to be repaired, so it is normal to have a furnace, but the Shen family also needs too much. The giant furnace that Lu Bing saw in Guang Bing was hoisted three in this moment's effort. The furnace of this giant finished mold. Not to mention repairing ships, even if it is enough to build pure iron ships, in addition to the fact that the Shen family has money and no land to spend can be explained, there must be other inside information to explain.

In addition, why did the Shen family transport so many people from other places to the island? Shandong has a large population since ancient times, so why bother to hire outsiders from near and far, this is not in line with the Shen family's habit of doing business at all. Lu Bing saw a lot of people, and at a glance, he knew that these people were just ordinary laborers and not craftsmen with unique skills, so he felt even more suspicious. is not a craftsman, an ordinary laborer, and a foreigner who is willing to seek the near and far, that can only explain one reason, the Shen family wants to block the news and keep it secret.

Yes, it must be like this, if it is said that the locals in Dengzhou will not be able to guarantee that they will leak it to their families, then Shen Yew's secret will be widely known to the world.

Secret! This Shen Yew, this Shen family, what are you going to do!

—————————————————————————————————————

Shen Yeshan and Meng Xueqing came to Lu Bing, and soon after Lu Bing entered the dock of the fishing ground and observed carefully, they learned the news. It's not that they are deaf and bright, but since Shen Yew was abducted to Japan last time, the Shen family has strictly guarded Shen Yew's safety.

The two masters, Chao Yu and Zheng Mingchuan, are naturally not far from Shen Yew, protecting them every step of the way. The Shen family even hired another group of unknown but skilled warriors to form a guard team, these people are nowhere to be seen on weekdays, but once something happens, all of them are revealed, and at the same time, any news around can also be found through their reconnaissance, and quickly spread to Shen Yew's ears. Therefore, as soon as Lu Bing came, they knew the truth.

Shen Yeshan was wearing a woman's dress, and when she fluttered over, Lu Bing couldn't help but be a little stunned. In all fairness, Shen Yew is a beauty with the color of this closed moon and shy flowers, sinking fish and geese, which strictly conforms to the law of the goddess of Bai Fumei. It's just that on weekdays, she often shows her appearance in men's clothes, and secondly, the light of wisdom in Shen Yeshan's eyes is difficult to hide, and the aura on her body also reveals a sense of shrewdness and the superiority of the children of the family, so under this powerful aura, it is easy for people to ignore its beauty, but it is ineffective for Lu Bing, what aura also needs a foundation to lining, Lu Bing and the Shen family are evenly matched.

Meng Xueqing and Shen Yew are actually beautiful and temperamental, but the difference is that Meng Xueqing now has a little more charm of a young woman, and she is already a classical beauty, quite a trace of fairy, not like mortal things always have a sense of elegance. Once Shen Yeshan talked to someone of the same level, she put down the shelf, and she was more down-to-earth, that kind of feeling on her body, so that you could guess that she was a businessman and trader before you spoke to her, even if she was still a girl who had not left the cabinet.

Meng Xueqing smiled: "Master, what are you looking at, you're crazy." (To be continued......)
