Chapter 101: Farewell and Present

Li Minglou stopped riding a horse and got into the car hand in hand with Mrs. Wu, and the prefect of Gwangju followed and talked beside the car.

There were no rebels in Gwangju Province for a long time, and even Huainan Province was much calmer, and the rebels of An Deokzhong and the surrender army of the Huainan Province Observer Army met in other places, and fought several times, but they did not reach Gwangju territory.

Then An Dezhong's rebels divided a lot, and went to the southeast to fight with Qishan, and the surrendered army of Huainan Province did not dare to come to Gwangju Mansion, but the soldiers and horses of Gwangju Mansion often went out, and scolded the cities that could be scolded, and those who could not come back were beaten back, and if they couldn't come back, they didn't force it, and they ran away after robbing the grain and grass and the displaced people.

You come and go, and the soldiers and horses of the city are bounded by Chaohu Lake, and the west is obedient to the Gwangju Mansion, and the south is to obey the Observation Envoy who surrendered to the Fudao.

"We have more than 15,000 men and horses." The prefect of Gwangju raised his eyebrows, and hinted with a little shyness and smugness, "At the beginning, the government was actually just so many soldiers and horses, and the number of people who registered and made the register was large, which was false. ”

Of course, these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses obeyed the orders of the Zhenwu Army, but Yuan Ji, the general of the Zhenwu Army who subdued them, lived in the government office, and he had to take care of everything except training the troops, so now his status is equivalent to that of the Huainan Provincial Observer.

It's just a document appointed by the imperial court.

He could issue the documents of the county order of Dou County, but he could not appoint his own documents, but the prefect of Gwangju felt that this was not a problem, and he looked at Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu sitting in the carriage, her husband and her son were now leading a large army to escort the court to King Lu's fief.

King Zhao is dead, the crown prince is about to die, King Lu is the only bloodline of the first emperor, he is the new emperor.

The appointment of an observer is not a big deal for Wu Ya'er, who has the skill of supporting and defending, and it is not a big deal for the new emperor.

Thinking that he only wanted to enter the province as a deputy before, the Gwangju prefect felt that he really had no ambition, so Yuanji said that he would take in the homeless, and he had no opinion, and there were ten people in Yangzhou, where the province was located.

Let's fill it in as if it were ten Gwangju Mansions, and he doesn't have to pay for it anyway.

Some people pay to support the soldiers, and some people pay to support the people, but he just goes to more places to talk more to the officers and soldiers.

Thinking of this, his horse's hooves were brisk, and those officials persuaded him not to come to pick up Mrs. Wu in person, just greet him at the door of the yamen, which seemed to be a bit out of identity, and the prefect scolded them severely, and after only a few good days, he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, didn't he know that Xuanwudao was crying and shouting to keep Mrs. Wu.

"Mrs. Wu has only stayed there for more than a month, and Xuanwu Dao has become more powerful than before the rebellion, and even the merchants have gone, and even dare to swagger past the rebels."

"If Young Lady Wu stays in Xuanwu Dao, then Yuanji and these soldiers will run away."

The officials sweated profusely, and without the soldiers, they would have nothing, so they not only followed to greet them, but also shouted that the rich and virtuous people in the city were also coming.

In addition to the officials and wealthy people, the people are also like a tide, different from the strangeness and restraint before leaving, even if they only saw the car and did not see people, they also made the call of the excited young lady Wu, and some people sang songs of praise.

"There are also a lot of porridge jars set up in Gwangju Prefecture, but there are no wine jars, and when it's hot, Wonji said that they will be replaced with soup to cool off." Kumquat explained to Li Minglou in the car.

Gwangju Mansion was besieged for a short time, and the people of Fucheng were also rich, which was originally not needed, but with the expansion of soldiers and horses, more and more displaced people were promoted, and the people of Fucheng did not need to be raised by Mrs. Wu Shao, and because Mrs. Wu Shao raised the homeless people, the people of Fucheng also benefited, so Mrs. Wu Shao was familiar with and praised.

"Lord Wei also made fun, let the rich families in Dou County also come here to give porridge, let them go around saying that they were saved by Mrs. Wu's porridge jar, and now they have a field, a house, money, and a good diet and clothing, so they also come to give porridge to repay Mrs. Wu, and said to those who receive porridge that they can also give porridge to others in the future."

"The homeless people didn't believe him, and a few rich people patted their chests and said how they could make money, and what opportunities they had to make money, so some homeless people were seduced and ran away."

"The Gwangju government was very angry and told the Wei County Order not to come here to rob people, and the Wei County Order was also very angry and said that it was for the state government to share its worries,"

"Seeing that Dou County and the government are robbing the displaced people, and the cities in other places are also coming to rob, they are even more funny, they don't know how to raise them, they came to ask Yuanji for money and food, and cheekily said that Mrs. Wu Shao can't favor one over the other."

"Yuanji is really honest, and he really gave it."

"So more places know about your kindness, young lady."

There was a chirping sound of kumquat chirping in the carriage, and the governor of Gwangju didn't feel the woman's noise outside, and added or corrected a sentence or two from time to time.

Li Minglou didn't know these things, in order not to affect her when he was out marching, Yuan Ji rarely wrote letters, and rarely said anything about this side, and he was also very relieved to have him in Li Minglou.

Yuan Ji is more relieved than she imagined, and she has to do a good job, just like Han Xu, they all died early in their previous lives, no one can see their light ** people, and their light ** people can save many people.

"I don't think there's any money, right?" Li Minglou asked Kumquat.

Although she didn't care about anything, Kumquat knew everything, she frowned and nodded: "It's a little insufficient." ”

Her money should have been spent, Jiannan Road is too far away, and there are wars everywhere, it is not easy to transport the money over, and it is easy to be discovered.

After passing through the city gate, the street became more lively, and Li Minglou saw through the curtain that there were many merchants holding goods.

"Young Lady Wu, I have a rare treasure here."

"Mrs. Wu, I have fine wine here."

Li Minglou said: "We have to earn our own money first." She lifted the curtain and looked at the merchants crowding over, "What treasures do you have?" ”

It was the first time for these merchants to see Mrs. Wu Shao, and they were really startled when such a person with a wrapped face suddenly appeared in the exquisite gauze curtain, but money could resist all fear, and they soon rushed over to report their goods.

The goods are too fine to carry with you.

The names of these goods were all strange, and the people around them were confused, and the wealthy officials gathered around the car had not heard of them, but Mrs. Wu Shao, who lifted the curtain, was not curious.

"This jade carving is a bit too big, I don't like it."

"The beads you said are too bright, and I don't have any use for the time being."

"I don't like wood carving, even though it's a rarity."

She said the essence of those rare treasures one by one, and her flat tone made those merchants a little ashamed, how could they take out these vulgar things and sell them to Mrs. Wu Shao.

The ghost-like woman in front of her is indeed a legendary immortal, and only an immortal has ever seen so many treasures.

Li Minglou did not taunt these merchants: "You have more interesting treasures to come to me again, since there are no treasures, then sell something else." She looked past the merchants into the city, "Which one sells wine?" ”

Because these merchants with rare treasures snatched them, the merchants who sold food and drink retreated ashamedly, and when they heard the inquiry, they were immediately overjoyed, and they raised their hands in response.

"Young lady, I have good wine here."

"Young lady, I have good wine here."

Li Minglou said: "We returned from a few months of traveling, sold all their wine, and I invited the whole city to drink and have fun. ”

I don't know when he appeared next to the car, and Yuanji, who seemed to be there all along, responded with a smile.

Cheers rang out all around, and the noise dispersed from the downtown area, and the whole city was filled with joy.

"When the young lady returns, the whole city is like a flower." The Gwangju prefect was not embarrassed to praise him at all.

Only Kumquat sat in the car with a little puzzlement: "Didn't the young lady say that she wanted to make money?" It's a lot of money. ”

......

......

The scorching sun seemed to be able to dry people, Xu Yue lowered his head and sniffed his arm, the aroma of wine could still be smelled, thinking of the moment when he stood under the wine vat and was drenched that day, he couldn't help but grin, it was very funny.

Someone coughed softly in his ear: "Lord Xu, do we want to rest today?" There is a post station ahead. ”

Of course, the inn has been deserted, but the houses are all there, so there is no need to sleep in the wilderness.

Xu Yue turned his head to look at Jiang Ming: "Brother Jiang, let's hurry up and go to find the martial general." ”

Jiang Ming nodded, stretched out his hand and patted the burden he was carrying in front of him: "Yes, Mrs. and Young Lady are very concerned about the general, I don't know if the journey is safe and smooth." ”
