In the twelfth year of Wanli, on March 15, the weather was slightly cool.

In a suburb in the east of Beijing, a team of more than 1,000 people is waiting neatly.

There was a person not far from the queue, with a delicate appearance, and his eyes were deep looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

It was Zhang Yun and Xu Xi who saw him off.

"Husband." Xu Xi slowly opened his mouth

"Don't mess with flowers and grass outside, don't do bad things behind my back."

Zhang Yun hugged her when he heard this, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I'll come back soon, and when I come back, Zhu'er and Liang'er have grown up." ”

Xu Xi heard the assurance, kissed Zhang Yun's face, and then walked slowly towards the city.

Zhang Yun touched the wetness on his face, and a smile appeared on his face.

When Xu Xi's figure disappeared from his field of vision, Zhang Yun turned over and got on his horse and roared loudly: "Let's go!" ”

Hearing the order, a large group of people quickly rushed towards Shandong.

This time, Zhang Yun still only brought Han Cheng and Zhao Hu, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Yunzi battalion, and the other three battalions were still training, and these veterans were also more comfortable to use.

There were quite a few complaints in the army about posting such a preference for Zhao Hu and Yun Ziying, but they only dared to complain in private, and did not dare to say it in front of Zhang Yun.

Hundreds of miles away in Qingdao, a brocade guard wearing a hundred household clothes looked at the letter in front of him, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

"Go, get the boat ready, and clean the adult's house."

"Yes."

After Xiaoqi got the instruction, he hurried to handle the things explained by the hundred households.

It turned out that Zhang Yun told people to hurry up early and inform Shen Lian that he was going to go to Jiangnan, so that he could prepare early.

Shen Lian listened to Zhang Yun's instructions, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so there was the previous scene.

Two days later.

Suddenly the dust flew in front of Qingdao, the earth began to tremble, and a cavalry slowly revealed its figure in the face of the wind and dust.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Qingdao watchtower hurriedly ran to Shen Lian's big tent.

"My lord, a group of officers and soldiers are running towards us."

When Shen Lian heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"It's finally here."

Then he sorted out his official uniform and walked quickly to the gate to greet him.

After Zhang Yun saw that he was about to arrive, he hurriedly asked people to slow down in advance. Suddenly, the team that had been rushing gradually slowed down.

After a while, he saw Shen Lian and others standing at the gate of the city.

Zhang Yun smiled at Du Ling beside him, "Let's go, let's get here." ”

Then he rode a big horse and walked slowly towards the gate of Qingdao.

After Shen Lian saw Zhang Yun approaching, he directly stepped forward and led the horse for Zhang Yun, which immediately attracted the disdain of many officials, but he didn't care at all.

Zhang Yun was afraid that this would damage Shen Lian's prestige, so he directly turned over and dismounted and walked towards his residence with him.

"How? I didn't have any major problems in my absence, did I? ”

Shen Lian replied with a smile: "No, no, there is a governor watching, how dare other Xiaoxiao make a mistake." ”

However, the footsteps of the two did not stop, and they still headed towards Zhang Yun's residence.

After arriving at Zhang Yun's residence, Shen Lian hurriedly took out a teacup and poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yun.

"My lord, come and have tea!"

Zhang Yun took it with a smile and drank it all.

Shen Lian looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, causing Zhang Yun to ask the reason, "Say, it's just you and me." ”

"My lord, what should we do with this land in Qingdao, many people are looking for me to buy land, I can't be the master and wait for you to come back and deal with it."

When Zhang Yun heard this, he groaned and then spoke: "How much land do we have now?" ”

"In addition to what you have sold, there are now 400,000 acres of land."

Zhang Yun couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this number, this is a treasure in this era, this was a broken island before, and naturally no one cared about it.

Now that it has been developed, it has become the largest landlord.

"In this way, you take out 100,000 mu of land, take it out for auction first, the price is high, and the starting price is one or two silver per mu."

"My lord, isn't one or two pieces of silver too cheap for an acre?" Shen Lianhu asked suspiciously.

After hearing this, Zhang Yun smiled and shook his head, "You just have to do it, let it go first, build up the momentum for me, and wait for me to come back from Jiangnan." ”

"Yes." Although Shen Lian didn't know Zhang Yun's intention to do this, since it was Zhang Yun's order, he had to do it.

Zhang Yun saw that he had been a little thin recently, and saw that he was doing things well, so he was ready to give him some sweet dates.

"In this way, I think this Qingdao will get bigger and bigger in the future, and I am afraid that a hundred households will not work, so I will expand your into a thousand households, and you should be a thousand households."

Shen Lian's face was full of joy when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you, my lord!" ”

"Hurry up, you deserve it."

Zhang Yun hurriedly helped Shen Lian up.

At this time, Han Cheng and Zhao Hu also came in.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Zhang Yun heard this rough voice from afar that it was Zhao Hu, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Han Cheng and Zhao Hu to come in with Du Ling.

"I've seen Han Zhenfu, I've seen Commander Zhao."

Han Cheng and Zhao Hu smiled at Shen Lian and asked him to excuse him.

They saw that Zhang Yunqi valued this kid, and they didn't dare to put up an official stand in front of him.

"My lord, when are we going to Jiangnan?" As soon as Zhao Hu entered, he looked a little anxious.

When Zhang Yun heard this, he laughed and joked. "What? Is it so anxious? ”

"Hehe, haven't I been? I've long heard that the girls in Jiangnan are smart, and I haven't been to the Qinhuai River yet. ”

Zhao Hu touched his head and said embarrassedly.

Zhang Yun heard his answer, and his face darkened.

Han Cheng looked at Zhang Yun's face from the side, and hurriedly covered Zhao Hu's mouth with a smile.

"My lord, then I'll go and prepare some food for the brothers first, and you can have a good talk." Shen Lian saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and came out to start a round.

"Well, go ahead." Zhang Yun nodded and let him go.

After Shen Lian left, Zhang Yun moved his gaze to Du Ling.

"It's too late to regret it now, if you go back to the capital now, maybe you can still find an errand in the six departments."

"Don't worry, my lord, since I promised my lord, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

"Besides, I don't like those ways in the officialdom, but now I am naturally very honored to be able to do something for the people of Damin together with adults."

Zhang Yun smiled slightly when he heard this, and then waved his hand again and again, "Don't be in a hurry to put a high hat on me first." ”

"It's you, and when the time comes, you probably want all the students to criticize and write about it."

"I'm not afraid!" Du Ling and Zhang Yun glanced at each other, and replied with firm eyes.

"Good!"

"Clean up, let's go back to your house tomorrow."

"Huh? What are you going to do back to my house? Du Ling was visibly flustered.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun smiled and quipped: "What? Scared? ”

"I'm not afraid, how can I be afraid?"

Du Ling replied hesitantly, but the panicked expression on his face betrayed him.

Zhang Yun took in everything, and then let him go down.

Seeing Du Ling go down, Han Cheng stepped forward and looked embarrassed, "My lord, you rashly took away a second-class jinshi, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the officials?" ”

"What am I afraid of? What else would they do besides fighting with words? ”

"I have the ability to let them beat me."

"Yes, if anyone is crooked, I Zhao Hu will be the first to disagree."

Han Cheng wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Zhang Yun waving his hand. "I've already said hello and asked him to hang up a spare post in the Ministry of Rites first."

"Anyway, Urgis has nothing to do with him."

Han Cheng's face turned happy when he heard this, "It's still an adult who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Then he farted a rainbow fart at Zhang Yun, and Zhang Yun waved his hand to let the two go down.

After the two left, Zhang Yun began to sit on the chair and pretend to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Yun was suddenly woken up by a voice.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency."

Zhang Yun slowly opened his eyes, and saw Shen Lian with a smile on his face.

"It's time to eat."

Zhang Yun looked outside, and before he knew it, it was already dark.

"It's getting dark, it's so late."

Then Zhang Yun got up, tidied up his clothes, and then headed towards the dining place.

In the hall not far away, many officers looked at the food in front of them, but they didn't dare to move at all, because Zhang Yun hadn't arrived yet, so they didn't dare to move first.

"Hahaha... I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”

Zhang Yun walked in with a smile and waved to greet the many officers.

When the officer saw Zhang Yun coming in, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Sit, sit, don't stand." Zhang Yun walked to the main seat in a few steps and hurriedly asked the officers to sit down.

"Eat, don't be stunned."

Zhang Yun saw that the officer still didn't move, and hurriedly shouted with a smile.

Listening to Zhang Yun's instructions, the originally hungry officer no longer restrained himself and began to gobble up, if Zhang Yun was not there, the scene would have been even more spectacular.

The dinner went very happily, and after the dinner, Zhang Yun walked alone on the beach in Qingdao.

At this time, the sea water slapped against the pier and made a splash, and the sea breeze blew to make Zhang Yun sober up a lot in an instant.

On the wharf, there are fishing boats that have just returned, and many women are waiting for their husbands to return. Without exception, the returning fishermen all had smiles on their faces.

Because they know that now their fish can be sold at a good price, mainly because there are more merchants coming and going to Qingdao, and it is not bad for this money.

There are even merchants in the capital, who come to them to collect fish, and then from the Bohai Sea to Tianjin, and then to Beijing.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun stepped forward and began to check the fishermen's harvest.

"Big brother, how much is your fish a pound." Zhang Yun smiled at a shirtless man.

The man smiled honestly: "Little brother, my fish has been ordered, if you want to buy it, I'm afraid you will have to wait for the next time." ”

"My fish is sold to restaurants in the city, and they are willing to pay 100 wen a pound to buy my fish."

Zhang Yun weighed one of his fish baskets and asked tentatively, "This is estimated to be dozens of catties." ”

The man smiled and didn't speak, and kept taking out the fish basket from the boat.

Zhang Yun saw that the man still had something to do, so it was inconvenient to disturb others.

"Big brother, I'm leaving, you're slowly busy."

Zhang Yun said hello and prepared to leave.

"Little brother, if you want to buy fish, I'll keep it for you next time, my name is Yao Ning."

Zhang Yun didn't turn around and waved his hand with his back to him, which was regarded as answering him.
