After Lu Bing got the "business license", he began to buy wood for shipbuilding on a large scale, and accordingly wrapped the wooden boat with iron sheets to increase the strength of the hull to improve the ability to resist waves and the resistance to hitting the reef.

To wrap the ship with iron sheets, you need to make iron sheets first, and the manufacturing process of iron sheets is far from being as easy as Lu Bing imagined, and there are too few blacksmiths who can make iron sheets in this era. So the blacksmith shop was born accordingly, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and there are also capable people to vote under the heavy reward, so the blacksmith shop is full of talents, and some skilled blacksmith masters come to Lu Bing with a high salary of ten taels of silver per month. Trade is so group and prosperous, four miles and eight towns and even other places have people began to order iron and weapons from here, so a virtuous circle, led to the development of the market, here and then three blacksmith shops opened, the most Lu was unified by Lu Bing planning together, named iron street.

At the same time, after a large amount of timber needed for shipbuilding arrived, the workers of the shipyard were not busy enough, and the fishermen also came to help.

At the same time, all kinds of carpenters also came, making flags, making sails need people, and Lu Bing ordered a unified fishing clothing, after the fishermen's guidance and design, the final finalization, in response to these orders, several large tailor shops also opened accordingly, and at the same time all kinds of flag manufacturing.

Lu Bing adheres to the principle that heroes do not ask everywhere, as long as there are capable people who come to Lu Bing, they are all welcome. As for what Lu Bing did before, he didn't care, as long as he didn't break the law and discipline in the future.

Lu Bing opened different fishing grounds and markets in the narrow strip from Xisha Wa to Xiao Soap, in addition to the sea salt field of the imperial court. The rest is under Lu Bing's control. The rise of the shipbuilding industry has led to an increase in the number of craftsmen who come and go, and the corresponding taverns and inns have also increased, and the more taverns and inns, the greater the flow of people, and there are also those who sell everything after the most luke. In less than half a year, the fishery has not yet been built, but Lu Bing's market is booming. These small villages on the edge gradually became places of trade, and although they were not as prosperous as the big cities, they were one of the few good places in the land of Qilu.

After half a year's effort, Lu Bing established a total of 10 fishing grounds. As well as ten pieces of the corresponding market, a total of 150,000 taels of silver was invested, and the fishery has just been officially put into use, although the effect cannot be said to be an immediate recovery of costs. But the overall effect can also be considered quite significant. And the bustling market has really brought good life to the people. Some of the people started their business full-time, while others bought and sold part-time. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, relying on such a prosperous market, it is like guarding a cornucopia, and the people will naturally become richer and richer.

Ordinary people say that Lu Bing is a good person, while rich businessmen secretly wonder what Lu Bing is going to do, and even Shen Yew is a little confused. Can such an investment be recouped?

The shops established by Lu Bing only charge rent, for those who want to do business. After Lu Bing's inspection, he decided to give the capital, but he had to charge the corresponding interest, but this interest was by no means high, and it was not as much as the amount of money printed outside. It is worth mentioning that Sun Xiao is really as he said, everything is convenient for Lu Bing, and Xu Yang, the old owner of the market and fishery, also sends his subordinates to help every day, and even he himself is going around behind Lu Bing's ass.

The people wondered, Xu Yang turned out to be a dragon, and he was a scourge to the people, why did Lu Bing become a pug as soon as he came, and he was also a good dog, not to mention being kind to the old and helping the weak. The businessmen who came to do business from other towns, who didn't know Xu Yang's previous notoriety, all called Lu Bing and Xu Yang the two good people in Dengzhou.

Lu Bing doesn't hate Xu Yang either, the Buddhists have a saying that they put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, just let go of everything and pass. No matter how Xu Yang did evil in the past, and no matter what reason he has rewritten and corrected now, I have to admit that Xu Yang is indeed a smart person, Lu Bing's meaning can be understood the fastest and his execution ability is also very strong, so gradually Lu Bing also entrusted Xu Yang with heavy use, but he never relaxed his vigilance against him. Because there is also a good saying, dogs can't change their, their words are not rough, and their nature is difficult to change, so they must be prevented.

I think that Lu Bing also slowly cultivated and trusted Wei He back then, Wei He followed Lu Bing from birth to death and laid down a grand cause, Lu Bing, who lived on the tip of the knife, allowed them to be corrupt and bribe-taking, as long as they did not lose their conscience and lawlessness, Lu Bing, who was small, turned a blind eye and passed, isn't it just for the sake of wealth, glory, and blessing of the descendants?

But what Lu Bing couldn't stand was the deception of his brothers, and Wei He's fault was not for participating in the powerful corruption, but for not reporting to Lu Bing at the beginning of all this.

So Lu Bing no longer dared to fully trust others, and Wei He was expelled from Lu Bing's central circle after the end, and Wei Monk was like this, not to mention Xu Yang, an outsider. Compared with Xu Yang, although Sun Kang is not as good, he can be regarded as smart, he and Lu Bingjing do not violate the river water, and they are still powerful and blessed in Dengzhou Mansion, although they are not as excessive as before, but they are not much different, but he definitely does not go to the fishing grounds and markets established by Lu Bing to make trouble, and only does evil within the scope of his own power. On weekdays, if Lu Bing has something, he will do his best to help, but he can quite understand the golden mean.

As for Sun Xiao's righteous Sun Rong, he was much worse, not only did he do it like the previous two, but he also made it difficult for Lu Bing everywhere, and when he saw Lu Bing's market and fishing ground established, he became red and wanted to get a piece of the pie. If it weren't for Sun Kang and Xu Yang to stop him, and Sun Xiaoxun to scold, maybe Lu Bing would have taught Sun Xiao a lesson for this unscrupulous and thick skin, but now Lu Bing understands his identity, he has to be forgiving and forgiving, and he must save a little face for others, which is equivalent to saving face for himself.

In a blink of an eye, the year passed in a hurry, Qi Jingtong wanted to return to his hometown to celebrate Mrs. Qi's birthday, when the fishing ground had been officially used, all the fishermen went out to sea to fish in a new boat, wearing uniform clothes, it looked like a spirit. When Qi Jingtong returned to Dengzhou, he felt different, and when he entered Penglai, he felt that the weather was extraordinary, and the people were a lot richer. It turned out that Lu Bing's fishing grounds and markets also indirectly drove the economy in the city, so there were many people coming and going, and there were many merchants who settled there. It's like a bit of a metropolis.

Qi Jingtong has been away from home for a few years, and the number of foreigners has increased, resulting in a lot of fresh faces, so many people didn't recognize Qi Jingtong for a while. But after casually asking someone, he learned that the address of Lu Mansion was the location of his hometown, and Qi Jingtong was moved. thought that Lu Bing chose to live nearby, in order to take care of his old mother at home.

So Qi Jingtong urged the horse to go back and came to his house to take a look. Where are those few dilapidated houses still there, they were completely taken into the walls of the Lu Mansion, Qi Jingtong beat the horse around the Lu Mansion and couldn't help but be surprised.

It is said that Houmen is as deep as the sea when it enters. Where is Lu Bing's mansion built? It was simply a small palace, Qi Jingtong walked through the main gate, dismounted and came to the gatehouse. The porter naturally didn't know Qi Jingtong, but he asked politely, and there was no villain ambition and arrogance of the subordinates of a big family, and Qi Jingtong was deeply satisfied and admired. The spiritual outlook of a person's subordinates can often reflect the likes and dislikes of the owner.

After reporting his name, the porter was stunned at first. hurriedly greeted Qi Jingtong inside, and Qi Jingtong hurriedly asked where he had moved now. I learned that Mrs. Qi had been living in the Lu Mansion all along. Qi Jingtong couldn't help but be even more moved after hearing this, he just asked his brother to take care of him, but he didn't expect Lu Bing to do his filial piety for himself, which made Qi Jingtong feel ashamed of his failure to do his duty as a son of man, and he was also full of gratitude to Lu Bing.

Lu Bing heard the report that Qi Jingtong was coming, and he hurriedly ran over with three steps and two steps, and when he saw Qi Jingtong, he didn't hold his fists, so he stepped forward and gave Qi Jingtong a hug, although Qi Jingtong knew that Lu Bing was informal, and he was hooked by Lu Bing all day long before working together, but after a long time, Qi Jingtong was still a little embarrassed.

"Brother Shixian, you are back, why did you go home this time and get a few days off." Lu Bing said with a smile.

"For a month, if nothing else happens, I can do my filial piety by my mother's side. Wenfu, speaking of which, when you are a brother, thank you, please accept me. Before Qi Jing finished speaking, Lu Bing gently pushed him and said, "If it's a brother, don't say Xie Lu Xie, what's wrong with me, let's go see the old lady first, and then pick up the wind and dust for you at night." ”

"Okay." Qi Jingtong was not polite, and as Lu Bing walked, he took out a few letters from his arms as he walked: "This is a letter from your old man and old lady, I will bring it to you." You can rest assured, many of the brothers in our capital can help in the past, and now Wang Zuo is already the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and your old man has also been transferred to the Governor's Mansion, and no one in the court dares to mess with him except the emperor. Besides, I heard that when he went to the court that day, the emperor suddenly sighed, how good it would be if Lu Bing was there, and now the rumors and rumors in the court say that you may be reactivated, and the future is immeasurable. Our old brothers are no longer suppressed now, although they are still distributed all over the place and can't socialize with each other too much, but they have all been promoted. ”

Lu Bing nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's good, that's good, it's still too early to talk about reactivation, not to mention how comfortable I am now, I have to think about it and talk after thinking about it when I go back, in short, I don't feel comfortable at all." ”

Qi Jingtong said with a smile: "Your every move in Dengzhou, the saint knows the way, this time I returned to my hometown to visit my mother, and the saint specially called me to the front of the car, let me take a good look at your construction in Dengzhou, say that you are not a mortal, and tell the truth after you go back, so that the officials can also learn your ghost ideas." In short, it seems that the emperor misses you. ”

"Brother Shi Xian should pay attention, what to say and what not to say, in case I do something wrong with the emperor's appetite, it will not be solved by resignation, although I have a gold medal now, but I am also a grass people, and then there is only the sin of imprisonment and killing the head, the emperor wants to kill me, not to mention the gold medal, even the Danshu iron coupon will not work, halu hahaha Lu Bing said with a smile, sure enough, Zhu Houyu thought about himself, which shows that these people in the court seem to be Zhu Houyi's people after shuffling, but in fact, Zhu Houyu is facing a situation where no one is available, at least it is someone who has no trust to use.

The two of them walked while talking, and they had walked for a long time, and before they arrived at the place, Qi Jingtong smiled and said: "This hasn't arrived yet, your kid's yard is too magnificent, what kind of prince and prince of the domain, you have to be in awe in front of your house." To be honest, where did you get so much money, I always thought you were a clean official, but I didn't expect you to be a huge greed. ”

"Don't say that." Lu Bing said with a smile: "Although my money came from a daze, it was all exchanged for my life." Things are so, so and so on" Lu Bing told Qi Jingtong the origin of the money from beginning to end, Qi Jingtong nodded after listening to it and said: "This is my Wenfu brother, but this money is also bright, and now it can be used for the people, Brother Wenfu is really open-minded, and the ancients Yunda is also helping the world, that's all." ”

"Alright, Brother Shixian, don't drag the text from here. By the way, what is going on in the capital this time, I don't know anything about the political struggle in the capital since I handed over all the eyeliner. Lu Bing asked.

Qi Jingtong thought for a while and said: "Where can this start, if you kid doesn't know anything about it, and I don't believe it when you kill you, you are more shrewd and cautious than a mouse." In short, the situation in the capital is unpredictable now, and it is by no means clear in one word, so we will talk about it in detail later. But then again, you just said that you don't know anything about it, I guess it's not because you have no eyes and ears, but because you Lu Bing doesn't care at all, and if you hear it, you don't hear it, don't you say. Wenfu, who of us doesn't know anyone, you will leave behind at any time. Qi Jingtong laughed as he spoke, and Lu Bing also laughed tacitly.

The two walked for another tea time before they came to a garden, and Qi Jingtong asked, "Is this out of your courtyard?" The reason why Qi Jingtong asked like this is because the scene in front of him is too different from the overall style of Lu Bing's house, here is simply a paradise, hills, green bamboos, blue waves, small streams, sandalwood curling on the wooden house, there are two cranes in the courtyard, Qi Jingtong opened his mouth to look at all this, and after being stunned for a long time, instead of closing his mouth, he opened his mouth even wider.

Because as Lu Bing walked inside, Qi Jingtong actually saw several fairy-like women. They are so delicate and dignified, where they recite poems and embroider and play the piano like fairies who have escaped the dust. Among the fairies, there sat an old lady with kind eyebrows and crane hair, dressed luxuriously and elegantly, and the golden light around her was like a rising group of auspicious clouds.
