Early in the morning, he stretched out his hands and quickly opened the blue sky. The morning sun is rising, and the dew on the grass is still there.

The sound of horses' hooves on the main road was mixed, and Meng Jiucheng and others had already left Jimo County, followed the main road, and went straight to Qingdao.

Along the way, Meng Jiucheng kept stirring up topics and talking and laughing with Yang Miaozhen, causing others to deliberately fall behind and dare not come forward to disturb.

As Yang An'er's younger sister and as a heroine with superb martial arts, Yang Miaozhen has seen rough men who have been respectful to her on weekdays, how have she ever seen such a funny and humorous guy.

But this also gave her a different feeling, a kind of freedom and freedom to get along with each other on an equal footing and talk freely.

"It is important to organize the army and fight the armed forces." Yang Miaozhen pursed the corners of her mouth, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "General Meng is hardworking, and the slave family knows it." And so it is true that the disadvantages are said. However, if you are seriously ill, you can't use strong medicine, and the slave family hopes that General Meng can slowly try to do it. ”

Meng Jiucheng disagreed, lowering his eyelids and showing displeasure.

"It only depends on the situation, if something can be done, the slave family will naturally fully support it." Yang Miaozhen couldn't help but jump in her heart when she saw Meng Jiucheng like this.

After a pause, Yang Miaozhen hurriedly said with room for improvement: "Such a big matter has to be decided after consultation with the generals, General Meng should not be too difficult for the slave family." ”

Please, little one! Meng Jiucheng's face tightened, pretending to think deeply, nodded a little reluctantly, and snorted.

Yang Miaozhen let out a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that the words just now seemed to be begging softly, and she was a little embarrassed when she thought about it.

The girl felt so embarrassed to look at Meng Jiucheng for a while, but she just glanced at it secretly, felt that her cheeks were a little hot, and subconsciously touched it.

The galloping horse, only casually hitting the tip at noon, and continuing on the road. When it was nearly dusk, Meng Jiucheng and others had already entered Qingdao City.

It's not a long time, but Qingdao has changed with each passing day.

According to the preferential policy, merchants set up shops in the city, and the land did not cost money, and they built it for their own use, and the government issued a deed, which was their own industry.

This greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of businessmen, and Qingdao's unique geographical conditions allowed smart people to see a bright future.

A businessman is forward-looking and adventurous. You must know that when you go to sea from Qingdao, you can not only go south to trade with the Song Dynasty, but also go east to Goryeo, Wa Kingdom, and Ryukyu.

Therefore, not only the merchants in the land of Sanzhou, but also Liu You and other southern businessmen also divided land in the city to build houses and set up shops in order to seek a long-term future.

And now there is another favorable condition for the construction of large-scale construction, which is the cheap labor provided by a large number of displaced people. As long as you take care of the food, there is no shortage of people to do the work.

Of course, the government also knew this, and the rammed earth construction of cities, government houses and warehouses, etc., also recruited displaced people and built them at a rapid pace.

After entering the city, Meng Jiucheng lived in the city lord's mansion, and Yang Miaozhen and others were also arranged in the mansion, which was a little careful thinking of Meng Jiucheng.

After dinner, Hu Ledger, who was already the lord of Qingdao, came to report to Meng Jiucheng.

Meng Jiucheng was not in a hurry, but asked him if he had sent someone to deliver the letter quickly and whether some of the items to be purchased were ready.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Meng Jiucheng asked people to send these things to Yang Miaozhen's residence, and then he calmed down and listened to the work report.

"There are five merchants who have gone to the Song Land, Yangzhou, Lin'an, Quanzhou and other places, and there is no reply yet, I wonder if they will be able to gain a foothold?"

"Another batch of grain sellers came, and a total of 200,000 stones of grain were transported, and the cost was ......."

"Six large mirrors were sold, and eighteen small mirrors were sold, and a total of money was ......"

"There are twenty-three merchants in the city, sixteen in the north and seven in the south; There are two inns and six restaurants......"

"At this rate of development, I feel that we can build another outer city next year, or build an acropolis on the south side of the bay......"

………

There are a lot of zeros, Meng Jiucheng listened carefully and gave some instructions from time to time.

This time he went to see Yang Miaozhen, and then inspected Qingdao, Meng Jiucheng wanted to solve miscellaneous matters, and then go all out to the military.

After all, no matter how it develops now, the premise is a stable environment.

Therefore, the Red Turban Army must resist the Jin Army after Li Quan's defeat and must protect the safety of the base area.

Before the report was finished, the guards outside reported that Wang Min came to ask for a meeting.

Meng Jiucheng asked Hu to account for the house, well, the current Hu City Lord will go back for the time being and come back tomorrow. He got up and came to the door and politely welcomed Wang Min in.

"General Meng is busy with official business, please forgive me for bothering me a lot." Wang Min said forgiveness, but sat down safely.

Meng Jiucheng and Yang Miaozhen talked all the way, which was very speculative. As soon as he arrived in Qingdao, he sent another box of gifts, Wang Min felt that his guess was correct, so he came to test it.

"The military advisor can come, Meng is welcome, why bother?" Meng Jiucheng felt that there was no need to beat around the bush to talk to smart people, "Even if the military advisor doesn't come, Meng will send someone to invite him." ”

Oh, Wang Min looked at Meng Jiucheng with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "I don't know what General Meng has sent, if he can do it, he will never refuse." ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled, knowing that this family matter had to be brought up by himself first, how could there be any reason for the female family to post it.

"In the next long time to look up to the four ladies of the name, the bow horse is skillful, resourceful; Seeing each other this time, it is better than rumors, and I can't help but fall in love. Meng Jiucheng pondered for a moment and said, "So, I am shy and begging for a kiss, I don't know if Wang Junshi can be fulfilled?" ”

Wang Min exhaled a long breath gently, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "General Meng is both civil and military, a young talent, and a good match for my family's Qu Shuai." However, Qu Shuai still has to agree to this. ”

"Does the fourth lady have a sweetheart?" Meng Jiucheng asked.

"Nope." Wang Min categorically denied it and said: "General Meng doesn't have to be suspicious, if this marriage can be achieved, it will be beneficial for the fourth lady and the two armies of Yu and me, and I will agree." ”

Meng Jiucheng nodded and said: "It is inevitable to fight against the Jin Army, and the joint operation of the two armies is not as good as the joint army, and they are sincerely united." Wang Junshi must have read the rules and regulations of our army, do you think you can accept them? ”

"I've seen it." Wang Min pondered for a moment and said, "If General Meng can treat everyone equally, it is also a blessing for the families of our soldiers. ”

"If you can marry the fourth lady, it will be a blessing." Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "After becoming a family, how can I favor one over the other?" Naturally, we should treat everyone equally. ”

Wang Min bowed his head slightly and said, "Dare to ask General Meng's birthday?" ”

Meng Jiucheng sighed and said, "I lost my parents when I was young, and I was raised by my master, and I really don't know the eight characters of this birthday." ”

Wang Min thought for a while and said, "It's okay too. Viewing people is more reliable than criticizing words, General Meng is bold and righteous, generous, and he will not be wrong in the following. ”

"Then there is the military division of King Lao." Meng Jiucheng thanked him, put the map on the table, explained his general plan, and humbly asked for advice.

Wang Min's evaluation of Meng Jiucheng was a few points higher, and he discussed with Meng Jiucheng before leaving.
