Chapter 190: Arrange it at home first

Lu Ning said to Sun Huchen.

"Brother Sun, you take your soldiers to open the way in front first, I still have some things to deal with here, and when I finish it, I will catch up with you immediately."

Seeing Lu Ning arrange it like this, Sun Huchen felt a little inappropriate, and he said immediately.

"Although the lord does not like to be extravagant, but His Majesty's will has long been said, let us put on the guard of honor and go to Zhangzhou with great fanfare, so as to make a strong presence for the lord, and lest the local officials despise you."

Lu Ning smiled, and then he told Sun Huchen directly.

"The momentum is not just by using the guard of honor to build momentum, there are poles and scales between heaven and earth, and the scales are the people, they are not stupid, it is difficult to fool the people."

When Sun Huchen was still a little stunned, Lu Ning said again.

"You'll understand when you arrive in Zhangzhou, now you set off first, and in two hours, I'll go after you with Jiujiang."

Sun Huchen was also helpless, so he had to take these soldiers to open the way in front, since Lu Ning was not willing to be extravagant, he did not open the guard of honor.

Hearing the news, Liu Changlu also came to Lu Ning's small courtyard, and when he saw his old friend who was now haggard, he said with some emotion.

"Look at it, what kind of weight have you lost weight, and you don't plan to rest for a few days and go to the land of Zhangzhou, this is really pitiful, that place is close to the coast, and there are many widows, how can a weak person like you go?"

Lu Ning glanced at Liu Changlu, of course he knew that his old friend was caring about him, so he said with a smile.

"Although I look weak, I am not a dry eater, do you think that the grenade and the Mauser were not invented by me? On the battlefield, those weapons can be used, whether they are Japanese or Northern Yuan Tatars. ”

Liu Changlu was speechless for a moment, but he was still a little worried.

"The bullets on the battlefield are not long-sighted, and there is a lot of smoke and miasma in the land of Zhangzhou, it is really dangerous for you to go there, why don't you sit in the rear, how about I go?"

Lu Ning was even more moved, but he still replied categorically.

"Don't worry about me, brother, of course I have a way to protect myself, by the way, I notified you to come over this time, I really have something to tell you."

When Liu Changlu heard this, he immediately replied directly.

"No matter what it is, just say it, I will do my best to do it well, and there will be no slackness."

At this time, Lu Ning took out a drawing and handed it to Liu Changlu, and then said very solemnly.

"This is a new type of textile machine designed by me, I originally wanted to let Fu Bo take people to make it, and then organize people to carry out textile production, but since we are going to Zhangzhou, naturally this matter will be handed over to you."

Liu Changlu took a closer look at the textile machine, although he didn't understand it very well, but this did not prevent him from completing this entrustment.

As a prefect, he was certainly able to recruit enough skilled craftsmen.

"Don't worry, I can find people to produce these looms, and train enough weavers, do you want me to make all the cotton into quilts?"

Lu Ning felt a trace of warmth, he liked this old friend so much, he only needed to mention it casually, and the other party knew what he wanted.

This tacit understanding can only be cultivated through long-term cooperation, and it is not an overnight thing.

He replied with a smile.

"I went to Zhangzhou to build roads, and I have selected a lot of victims, and they went there as workers to build roads and build warships, which is actually a way to work for relief, but some old and weak people can't go, I have gone to the imperial court, let them all go to Changning, you must manage things here, add welfare homes, and let each of them have a new quilt to cover."

Lu Ning's words made Liu Changlu very moved, because the imperial court could no longer take out money and grain for disaster relief, and all the expenses needed to be paid by Lu Zi'an himself.

Even if this guy is rich, it is estimated that it is not such a trick, but he still does it without hesitation.

Liu Changlu held Lu Ning's hand and said to him very solemnly.

"Don't worry, all the affairs of Changning County will be handed over to me, there will definitely be no mistakes here, you just have to do things steadfastly, I am waiting for your triumphant day."

After arranging everything, Lu Ning took Fu Bo and the others to chase after Sun Huchen.

Sun Huchen hadn't gone far yet, he was walking very slowly along the way, just waiting for Lu Ning.

By the time it was almost dawn, the two had already met, and Lu Ning said to Sun Huchen with a smile.

"Brother Sun, when we go to Zhangzhou this time, we must not disturb the people in any way, and we should have enough respect for the local officials, so as not to make people talk about it."

Of course, Sun Huchen knew that Lu Ning was helpless after being impeached.

Although Lu Ning has been emphasizing that as a lord, he has three special rights, and whoever makes trouble in his Changning County will not be spared.

But this is obviously just his way of self-preservation, and he never takes the initiative to find other people's business.

Sun Huchen also joked.

"Lord Lu, you are being tossed and scared by those imperial historians in the court, it doesn't matter, now that you have military power, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, they have to weigh it."

Lu Ning sighed and said to Sun Huchen helplessly.

"Brother, you don't know, I am now an earl, I should be more cautious in my words and deeds, although I go to a high place, I don't know that the high place is not cold, no one wants to climb low, and the low place once accepted hundreds of rivers."
