Chapter 188: Stay with me and be the county magistrate
Wu Yue: "......"
"Lord Shizi, can we not drink this wine?"
"This is just a warship, and the brothers worked day and night for three months."
"Build ten more ...... Are you not going to let us go back to the Imperial City? ”
Lu Yuan patted Wu Yue's shoulder and grinned, "Lord Wu, what's so good about the Imperial City?" ”
"Our Liaocheng is now developing rapidly, a thousand miles a day, and in less than a year, it will definitely be no worse than the imperial city."
"In this way, go back to the world and send someone to bring your family, wife and children to Liaocheng."
"I have all taken care of building houses, buying land, and children's education."
"From now on, you will settle down in Liaocheng, don't go anywhere, just concentrate on working for me!"
Hearing this, Wu Yue and the craftsmen behind him suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
Get!
At the beginning, they were summoned from the imperial city to Liaocheng in the middle of the night, originally thinking that it was an urgent task.
It's good now, and I can't go back if I want to.
Lu Yuan went around the ship and inspected some details on the ship.
From ship cannons and fire crossbows to harpoons and fishing nets, they are all exactly the same as they are designed on their own drawings.
made Lu Yuan sigh again in his heart, the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Engineering is really not covered.
It is no exaggeration to say that this luxuriously equipped giant ship is used for war.
It can withstand at least ten warships of the Lieqian Dynasty's sailor battalion.
And if it's used to go out to sea to fish.
A hundred fishing boats may not be as efficient as a warship.
Lu Yuan splashed ink on the spot and named the giant ship "Apocalypse".
Apocalypse, meaning that it is revealed by heaven and destined by heaven.
Although it collided with the name of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Ming Xizong, Zhu Youxiao.
But that was the last years of the Ming Dynasty, at least more than 200 years ago.
By that time, he would have already become a handful of loess.
Leaving the dock, Lu Yuan was in a good mood and hummed a song all the way.
After returning to the official residence, Su Liyan was waiting for him at the door.
"Lord Shizi, you're in a good mood."
Su Liyan smiled mysteriously, "Guess who's coming?" ”
"Who?" Lu Yuan asked with curiosity on his face.
"Of course it's your brother and me!"
A figure rushed out of the mansion and directly gave Lu Yuan a bear hug.
Lu Yuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Qing.
"Brother?"
Lu Yuan was suddenly extremely surprised, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?" ”
"Why, I can't come and see you?"
Lu Qing rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "My brother made a fortune in Liaocheng, and his family has a big business, so he forgot his brother's friendship in the past?" ”
"How dare you."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just that my brother is the pillar of the country, and he has every opportunity, how can he have time to hang out with me?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Not bad!"
Lu Qing's face suddenly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Since the emperor returned to the dynasty, he didn't know what stimulation he had, and he couldn't afford to get sick. ”
"In the last few days, I have been terminally ill and have not been able to eat a meal for many days."
"Now that he is dying, his only wish is to see you again."
"Brother Yuan, without further ado, go back with me quickly!"
Hearing Lu Qing's words, Su Liyan suddenly panicked, "What?!" The emperor ...... him."
Lu Yuan secretly glanced at her, and looked at Lu Qing with interest.
Good boy, pretending to be quite similar.
If it weren't for the perspective of God, he would have known that Emperor Yongle would die on the Yumu River during the march.
I really believe your boy's nonsense.
"What?!"
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he decided to accompany the play for a while, and suddenly his face showed panic.
"When we separated a few months ago, the emperor was fine, how could he suddenly be sick?"
"Brother, something so big happened, what did you just do with me?"
"Could it be that you don't want me to see the last face of the emperor?!"
Lu Qing didn't expect Lu Yuan to have such a big reaction, and he was a little flustered.
"I ...... I just forgot about it and didn't remember it for a while......"
"Can you forget such a big thing? You're still not the grandson of the emperor! ”
Lu Yuan shouted, suddenly calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "No! ”
"The emperor's dragon body is healthy and extremely strong, how can he suddenly get sick?"
"Brother, in my opinion, this matter must be a rumor deliberately spread by the gangsters!"
The corners of Lu Qing's mouth twitched slightly, gangster? I?
Lu Yuan clenched his fists and said indignantly, "How can this be true!" ”
"This gangster made up such vicious rumors, he must have wanted me to be panicked, and then take advantage of the chaos to plot against my country!"
"Brother Huang, don't worry, I will definitely find out this vicious person and cut him with a thousand knives!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was speaking emotionally, Lu Qing hurriedly stopped him and said with a wry smile, "Slow, slow!" ”
"Far away, there are no bad people, and there are no rumors."
"I ...... I'm kidding you! ”
The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth hooked up a smile, can't he cure you?
Then he waved his hand and said lightly, "I know my brother is joking." ”
"But this kind of topic can't be treated as a joke in the future."
"Anyway, brother, what the hell is going on here?"
"Well, it's fine."
Lu Qing sighed and said with a wry smile, "Originally, as my father's assistant, I still had a lot of things to deal with. ”
"As a result, after the guy Lu Ji came back, he directly snatched all my work and became the most effective cadre by my father's side."
"What about me? On the contrary, he fell into a light body with nothing to do, and he was idle every day and had nothing to do. ”
"I've been so bored in the Imperial City these days that I haven't even had anyone drinking."
"I can't be idle, so I came here to see you."
Lu Yuan nodded, this is the truth.
To be honest, after knowing that Lu Qing was not Zhu Zhanji, who inherited the throne in the original history, Lu Yuan was very sympathetic to him.
Because, as the embodiment of Zhu Zhanji, Lu Ji is definitely the No. 1 ruthless emperor who is indifferent to family affection.
can roast his second uncle, his father King Zhao, to death in the copper tripod.
Lu Qing, as the biggest threat to the land-based inheritance, how could he have a good end?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly.
His eyes were full of sympathy, and he patted Lu Qing's shoulder heavily.
Lu Qing: "??? ”
"It's not...... Brother Yuan, what kind of eyes are you? ”
"Is it difficult, do you see what terminal illness I have?"
"No, no."
Lu Yuan shook his head and said with a light smile, "Brother, don't you want to drink?" ”
"Little brother happens to have good wine here, how about we take the third tour?"
"Hahaha, okay!"
Lu Qing suddenly nodded excitedly, "I knew that it was right to come to you!" ”
"Let's go, brother Yuan, let's get drunk today!"
Immediately, the cooks prepared a good banquet in the county office.
Lu Yuan and Lu Qing sat opposite each other and drank, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Lu Qing's eyes showed a look of amazement, and he sighed again and again.
Lu Yuan smiled lightly and asked, "Brother, why are you sighing?" ”
"Brother, brother, I really admire you."
Lu Qing said with a bitter face, "They are also descendants of the Lu family, and they are also descendants of the royal family." ”
"Why are you all better than me?"
"Brother, you don't have to say it."
"Over the years, your various inventions have swept the entire Lieqian."
"Whether on the battlefield, in the field, or in the purses of women, your wisdom is everywhere."
"Two places as big as Luxi and Liaocheng can be managed in an orderly manner."
"To be honest, my brother admires you from the bottom of my heart!"
"But, that Lu Ji and I are the same father's brother!"
"Why can he make contributions on the battlefield, so that the hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty are scrambling to pat on the back, and even the emperor praises him for having the style of Hongwuye."
"And I, in the eyes of the emperor and the hundred officials, am a person who is idle, eating and waiting for death?"
"I'm not convinced!"
The more Lu Qing spoke, the more angry he became, and he slammed the wine bowl on the ground.
Immediately, he actually lay directly on the table and cried.
Well.
Crying loudly, crying more ugly than a frog.
Su Liyan, who was sitting next to Lu Yuan, smacked her tongue secretly, "Husband, I've never cried like this......"
"Shhhhh
Lu Yuan took Su Liyan away, got up and patted Lu Qing on the shoulder.
"Brother, you don't have to be too upset."
"In my opinion, brother, when it comes to talent and qualifications, you are no less than him land-based."
"Brother, what you lack is experience and experience."
"Oh?"
Lu Qing immediately raised his head and sucked his nose hard: "What do you mean?" ”
"Brother, do you think that Lu Ji will fight as soon as he comes out of his mother's womb?"
Lu Yuan smiled lightly, "Definitely not." ”
"He was on the battlefield, entangled with the Tartars for many years, and was accustomed to the intrigues of the barbarians."
"I have suffered many defeats before I become a famous general who can win battles."
"And brother, you, have been in the Prince's Palace since you were born, and you have almost never even been out of the Imperial City since you were a child."
"Even if you have the same talent as the land base, you don't have a chance to show it."
Lu Qing was stunned when he heard this: "That's right! ”
"If I Lu Qing also leads troops, it may not be worse than him Lu Ji!"
"Brother, thank you for your advice!"
As he spoke, Lu Qing slapped the table and stood up directly.
Lu Yuan asked suspiciously, "Why are you going?" ”
"Go back to the emperor and ask for soldiers!"
Lu Qing grinned and said, "Let's also be like him Lu Ji, lead the troops to the expedition and make contributions!" ”
"Come back!"
The corners of Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly jumped wildly, and he pulled Lu Qing back.
Boy.
This is really a good thing.
Over the years, I have made many miraculous achievements.
After the meritorious service, there was nothing else to ask for, just to ask the emperor for some land.
But the emperor only gave him two places, Luxi and Liaocheng.
As for the land of the two rivers, it is to let yourself not even think about it.
This Lu Qing is good, and he is going to ask for soldiers and horses directly.
Well......
This means that Emperor Yongle is relatively kind-hearted.
In other words, it is the suspicious Hong Wuye's words.
If you say this sentence, you can cut Lu Qing.
"Brother, you haven't practiced martial arts since you were a child, and you haven't even killed a chicken."
"It's a little too late to start training now."
Lu Yuan persuaded bitterly, and said earnestly, "Brother, think about it." ”
"What are you best at?"
Lu Qing was stunned, and said without thinking: "Drinking, playing cards, fighting crickets......"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but slap his head.
My brother, really treats himself as a wine bag and rice bag?
Although he secretly scolded in his heart that the mud couldn't support the wall, he still didn't give up the mud.
Still meaningful, he said, "Think about it, what did you mainly do when you assisted the crown prince in handling state affairs in the past? ”
Lu Qing scratched his head and said tentatively, "Sort out the file, analyze the case, and reason about the evidence......"
"Isn't that it?"
Lu Yuan said with a smile, "My brother wants to be a military general, and it is a little difficult. ”
"But if you want to be a civil official, it's not impossible."
"Harm, you said it earlier!"
Lu Qing slapped his thigh and grinned, "Okay, I'll rush back to the Imperial City!" ”
"Tomorrow, I will tell my father, let him find the emperor and ask the emperor to be the head of the criminal department for me!"
The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
Head of the Criminal Department?
Why don't you kid just become the prime minister?
If the princes and grandchildren were as willful as you.
It is estimated that within 20 years, Lieqian will be able to declare the death of the country.
"Brother, the head of this criminal department has a heavy task, I'm afraid you won't be able to play."
Lu Yuan said meaningfully, "In my opinion, to be an official, you still have to start from the grassroots level. ”
"One step at a time, you can play steadily, right?"
"That's right."
Lu Qing nodded thoughtfully, "Brother, then you say, what should I do first?" ”
"My brother has never held an official position, and if something goes wrong, people will laugh at it, and he may be slandered by those officials."
Lu Yuan hesitated for a long time, then made up his mind, "Okay!" ”
"Who made us blood brothers?"
"Brother, you will stay in my Liao County and serve as the county commander!"
"What?"
Lu Qing's eyes widened suddenly, "Let's ...... Let me be a county magistrate? ”
"Brother, are you kidding?"
"Brother, I'm serious!"
Lu Yuan said seriously, "Don't underestimate the county order. ”
"Liao County is not an ordinary small county."
"It's the base of my business, and it's a gold mine with a lot of waste to be built!"
"Now, I've put all my energy and money into it."
"Vow to develop Liaoxian County beyond the imperial city within two years and become the first important town of the Lieqian Dynasty!"
"You and my brother join forces to accomplish this goal, don't you want to?"
Listening to Lu Yuan's bold words, Lu Qing was immediately deeply moved.
"Brother, heroic!"
"Good! Brother with you! ”
"You and my brother are united, and we will definitely be able to accomplish your grand ambition!"
Lu Yuan's eyes moved, and he secretly rubbed behind him and beckoned.
Gui Shu turned into a little mouse and slipped quietly behind him.
In his mouth, he took the contract that Lu Yuan had written in advance and put it in his hand.
"Brother, although the two of us are brothers, it doesn't matter who listens to whom or who commands."
"But the position of Liaocheng County Commander, after all, is an official of the imperial court, and it is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of people in the county."
Lu Yuan said seriously, "If my brother is really willing to make a career with my brother." ”
"Please sign this contract and draw a pledge, right?" (End of chapter)
