It wasn't until mid-March this year that Lu Ying pushed all the vegetable shops in Ding'an County and its nearby villages and towns clean, and anyone who wants to say that he did all this because he is a god, and ignores the efforts he and the horses have put in for this, Yingying will beat people.

You must know that when the refugees passed through the town along the way, Lu Ying helped clear the checkpoint in the name of the Lu family, and after Qiu Yu delivered a letter saying that he had stirred into the muddy water of Huxiang and could not get a gypsum mine, he asked the Li people to help build a large number of cheap and wind-resistant boat-shaped houses, and he was so busy that he was dying.

The refugees haven't arrived yet, and they have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation first, Lu Ying has only imitated a few sketches left by his mother recently, and learned a new painting method, and then he has no time to be obsessed with calligraphy and painting!

When Lu Fang came back a few days ago, Lu Ying kicked Qian Aquan in front of the owner of Qiongya Island and asked them to talk about renting a boat to transport refugees.

Recently, Ding'an County has saved a sum of money by selling salt and silk, Qian Aquan tried his best to support his courage and asked Lu Fang: "Master Lu, how many boats can we rent with this money?" ”

Lu Fang's face was expressionless, and his tall figure was very oppressive: "What are you going to rent a boat for?" Do you want people on board? How long to rent? ”

This is a very serious question to ask the tenant about the business.

Qian Aquan was stuck, he looked up at Lu Fang's handsome face without a single flaw, and the majestic momentum like the god of the sea, and cast a look at Lu Ying for help.

This young man is really afraid of Lu Fang, almost the fear of God, because Lu Ying's existence has made all the people in Ding'an County, including the county officials, believe that the Lu family is a god, so compared to Xiao Yingying, who is still a dwarf winter melon, naturally Lu Fang, an adult, has a more oppressive sense of oppression.

Lu Ying picked up the people and talked to her grandfather in person: "There are 6,000 refugees from Huxiang, Ding'an County wants to borrow a boat to take them to Qiongya Island, and then let them reclaim the land on the outskirts of the county. ”

Lu Fang said slowly: "What are you thinking about?" ”

Although he is a left-behind empty nester and makes money bags for the whole family all year round, he still has a bit of a businessman's principles.

Lu Ying didn't give up, and still bargained with her grandfather: "I predict that there will be heavy rain at sea when the refugees arrive at Dongbin Port, anyway, the merchant ships can't go out to deliver goods at that time, so it's better to transport people to me, it's cheaper." ”

That's how to do business, be thick-skinned, and talk about the next little benefit to earn.

The two of you talked back and forth for a while, Lu Fang relaxed, as long as Lu Ying can take the boat out and bring it back, and there is no damage in the heavy rain and wind and waves, then even if he is cheaper, five medium-sized ships and crew members will be rented for a day, the original price is at least five hundred taels, and Lu Ying will take six hundred taels, three hundred taels.

Lu Fang wrote the deed and stretched out his hand: "Come, pay the money." ”

Lu Ying asked Qian Aquan to give money, her face was so stinky, she saw that Lu Fang especially wanted to beat this kid's ass, what if she gave you six folds!

After taking a deposit of one hundred and fifty taels, Lu Fang took out a Kunpeng and stamped it on the deed in duplicate, and asked Lu Ying to go and say hello to the ship he fancied and set a time.

A medium-sized boat rented by Ding'an County can carry two or three hundred people, and one trip of five ships together is 1,500 people, and a few more trips will be carried out of the 6,000 people.

In addition, Lu Ying also prepared a large number of ponchos to protect the refugees from the rain, and these ponchos did not plan to go back later, just like sugar cubes, they were the first gifts given to the new residents by the county government of Ding'an County.

When the boat docked, Coffey and other guards began to organize the refugees to board the boat, and the captains of each boat stuck the wooden planks connecting the shore and the boat, shouting loudly: "The registration word and the age, if you don't sign up, you won't be allowed to get on the boat." ”

They had to register their names when they picked up the boat, and after the refugees had given their names, places of origin and age, they were given a small piece of brown sugar and followed the sailors down to the cabin.

With sugar, the refugees are very talkative, and there are almost no spurs, which is also because most of the men on the ship are strong, with a strength that is not easy to provoke, and the refugees have already arrived in a foreign land, where do they dare to attract the suspicion of these locals?

Lu Ying's Nine Shadows is the largest, so naturally he also has to carry people, he stood on the bow of the boat to observe the sky, and waited for the people to fill up and set sail directly.

Seeing that many experienced maritime merchants at the port said that this must be the Lu family who came to lead the ship in person, otherwise the crew would not dare to go to sea at this time.

An old shipmer was full of envy: "This Lu family is also on a rainy day."

I can run the boat, and I am not afraid of accidents when I transport so many people to sea, if I have this ability, I can also be offered as a god, and I have to call grandpa when I see the sea food. ”

The ship's mate said, "Wait, I see that the ships are full of people, and it is uncertain whether they will be safe." ”

These words are the curse of envy and jealousy.

It's a pity that the Lu family's boat and Jiuyou went back and forth one by one, picked up 6,000 people, the guards, and Liu Ziyan, and arrived at Qiongya Island safely.

Liu Ziyan was the last to get on the boat, she was blown crooked by the wind and rain on the beach, but her eyes were good, and she could accurately catch Lu Ying's small body through the thick rain curtain, and dragged a three-year-old girl named Xiaohong all the way to find her.

She shouted: "Lu Gongzi, the refugees have been tired all the way, their physique is already weak, and there is heavy rain, and there are countless seasickness when they take the sea boat, and it is not enough to eat sugar." ”

Lu Ying was a poncho and asked Jiang Ping to play an umbrella, but he was also soaked at this time, he plucked out his ears, and shouted when he turned around: "Wang Zhouzhou!" Did you hear that? Come and do the handover with Miss Liu! ”

Wang Zhouzhou rolled over and roared against the sound of rain and tide: "Come on-Miss Liu, please here, let's roll the list first, and then I will tell you about the resettlement of the people, you can rest assured that Ding'an County will do things, what you want is a proper child!" ”

It is said that Wang Zhouzhou's grandfather was a runner in the inn, and Qin Rong followed the logistics when he started the army and established the country, and he was a petty official.

Wang Zhou picked up the little sister and took Liu Ziyan to the cabin, while Lu Ying remained on the deck to direct the ship to go to sea.

The ship sailed against the wind and rain, and Lu Ying asked people to adjust the sails.

It is not easy to manage the sails of six ships in one go, even if it is difficult to have a flag, Lu Ying's current limit is only six ships, and if you want to improve it, you have to improve the flag language, make your subordinates' brains smarter, and have better helm skills.

Halfway through the boat, there were still twenty or so dolphins on the surface of the sea, looking at them with strange black eyes.

Lu Ying stepped directly on the boat and waved: "I don't have time to play with you today, let me go!" Don't get hit by the boat! ”

Those dolphins screamed, as if shouting Lu Ying's name, and a gray-blue dolphin jumped directly out of the sea, rolled a few times in the air and then fell.

Judging from Lu Ying's past experience with these sea beasts, he should be ...... at this time

"Good work, reward."

As soon as Lu Ying raised his hand, Jiang Ping came over with a wooden barrel, and Lu Ying grabbed a soft fish and threw it down, these sea beasts are very fond of soft fish.

And then it went on and on, and all the dolphins started jumping and trick-or-treating without giving the soft fish.

Jiang Ping was shocked by this scene, and immediately chanted: "It is really full of vitality, and everything is competing...... Yes! ”

Lu Ying gave him a kick: "What is the competition, it is not enough for this group of dead-skinned and shameless hooligans to eat a bucket of soft fish, they are still blocking my boat!" ”

Liu Ziyan leaned on the cabin, looked at the lively and lovely strange life on the sea, and said in astonishment: "I haven't seen these last time, is this an animal in the sea?" ”

The young man named Cai Ye said, "It's sea beasts, they are all very smart, and the descendants of the rain god have always been close to sea beasts. ”

A soft fish was smashed by Lu Ying into the head of a dolphin that had been jumping several times.

Cai Ye pointed over there: "Look, Young Master Sun is feeding them." ”

Liu Ziyan's face was full of envy: "Their relationship must be very good." ”

Due to the large number of people in the fleet, Lu Ying did not run at the maximum speed in the wind and waves, but only sent the fleet back to Qiongshan Port safely at a speed that seemed slow to him.

Sure enough, someone got seasick.

Qian Aquan and Yang Tiansheng, who were already waiting here, were busy with the little officials.

Seasickness, vomiting, sickness, and fever were all pulled under the shed, and pushed by cart to a vacated warehouse rented nearby, and asked Lang Zhong to watch it first.

The rest of the people also gave a bowl of ginger soup boiled with jujubes, poured it while it was hot, and then distributed ponchos and new straw sandals, and the stove of the porridge shed had ginger soup for boiling and stewing gruel, and the porridge was naturally full of miscellaneous grains, but they sprinkled sugar vigorously, and even cut some plantain and yellow flesh and threw it inside, and cooked it sweet and rotten.

Don't look at the later generations that eating too much sugar can lead to high blood sugar, diabetes and other problems, people who can maintain it are quitting sugar, but for the refugees, from the time they got on the boat, they had sugar cubes and ginger soup and sweet porridge to drink

They ignited anticipation for life.

It's a sweet thing! Many of them have eaten candy for the first time in their lives!

In this year, a pound of sugar can buy a big living person, and the sugar in this pot is more valuable than the refugees! It can be seen that the designation of Ding'an County, which is about to accept them, has no bad intentions for them, and it must be a rich place!

Liu Ziyan saw the steaming thick porridge, and then smelled the smell of ginger that had overflowed the entire port, and knew that she had finally entrusted these 6,000 people to reliable people, so she immediately had a sour nose, a relaxed heart, and covered her face and wanted to cry first.

Wang Zhouzhou rushed over at this time, and his voice was hurried: "Miss Liu, these people can't stay in Qiongshan Port for too long, they have to be sent to Ding'an County, the county government is not full of manpower!" ”

Qian Aquan was still begging Lu Ying for support: "Young Master Sun, lend me some more people, I'll give you money!" ”

Grandma Lu Ying's soft voice was separated by the sound of the rain, and there was also a ruthlessness that public and private must be distinguished: "The price of the Lu family's escort team for short-term work is 50 wen a day, do you bring enough money?" What about the strips? Only after approval can you go to the public account. ”

Qian Aquan immediately turned around and shouted: "Yang Tiansheng, come here!" Write me a note! ”

This noisy voice made Liu Ziyan wipe the corners of her eyes and laugh, and she said to Wang Zhouzhou: "I'm here to help." ”

The Ding'an County Ya rented a large number of horse-drawn carriages and ox carts to transport people, but most of them still had to rely on themselves to get to Ding'an County, and naturally needed someone to guide the way and maintain order on the way.

Qian Aquan also knew that Lu Ying had already given enough support, as the future county official of these refugees, there were some things that he had to do, this twenty-year-old young man gritted his teeth, arranged everything, and personally walked to the front of the team, and set off with a group of people first.

Liu Ziyan once again became the last group of people to set off with the team, and Cai Ye was assigned to her team to maintain order, and she always helped hold Xiaohong.

Fortunately, the road from Ding'an to Qiongshan has been repaired again, although the rain has watered the road soft, but it is smoother than the official road, and when you reach the end of the road, on both sides of the road, rows of boat-shaped houses have been waiting here.

Men and women are separated, living in different areas of the house, a room for four people, there is a simple bed stacked with wooden planks and bamboo, straw pillows, straw mats on the bed, a set of old clothes collected from clothing shops in various parts of the two Guangzhou, as well as thin blankets, and small pottery pots, pottery bowls, and chopsticks, all of which are complete.

It is not an exaggeration to say that many people in the refugee team even have their clothes ripped off the dead people, and this dead man's clothes are most likely the first clothes in their lives.

As for the bed? Where did the bed come from, it's all sleeping straw! With bugs and rats as companions!

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ding'an County came, there were houses, clothes and beds, Liu Ziyan now understands the people's feelings, and naturally knows that Ding'an County is trying its best to give the best resettlement conditions.

She found Lu Ying and found that he was settling accounts with Qian Aquan and others, and she knelt down without hesitation.

"Ziyan thank you Gongzi Lu for saving these people, the great kindness and virtue cannot be repaid, this life will be yours in the future!"

Lu Ying blinked her clear eyes, thinking that this girl was not inferior to a man, she didn't say that she would promise herself, she only said that she would give him her life, which shows that she thinks she has something more important than her body, such as talent and work ability.

He raised his hand, and Jin Hua went over to help Liu Ziyan up.

Lu Ying: "Sit down, there is a shortage of people in Ding'an County who can work, so I agreed to accept these people, if they can only eat and not work, then I will not accept it, Chen Jun, how much do you say you want to borrow?" ”

Chen Jun of Ding'an County said respectfully: "Ding'an County wants to use the county's credit to borrow 3,000 taels of silver from Gongzi to buy grain, and it will be repaid within a year." ”

It is true that Lu Ying is very rich, and he has more than 200,000 yuan in private silver, but he can't use his private money to help the government develop, so this time Ding'an County built a boat-shaped house, prepared basic clothes and furniture, hired a boat, found Langzhong, and bought medicinal materials, and the money spent exceeded that of the official government to save money, so he had to borrow money from Lu Ying.

Lu Ying: "Yes, come here with a deed." ”

The deed has been prepared a long time ago, and it has to be notarized in front of Jiang Ping, the old housekeeper, Wei's mother, and Lan Glaze, the four major stewards of the Lu family, and the process is complete.

Wait for the signing under the witness of Jiang Ping, the deed is in triplicate, one copy for Lu Ying, one copy for Jiang Ping, and one copy for the official office.

Lu Ying put away the deed and said rarely: "You are all some officials now."

It's like. ”

Lu Ying commented on an official, not looking at his face, not looking at the other party's official show, just looking at whether the other party can work, whether the work is done well, Qian Aquan, Chen Jun, Yang Tiansheng, Wang Zhouzhou, the four big horse boys are now past the passing line in his heart, so he praised it.

But I didn't know that these men who were tired and tired and didn't complain about it heard that Lu Ying had rare good words, and the boss finally moved them into tears.

Yang Tiansheng, who prepared the deed, smiled: "It's all taught well by Young Master Sun." ”

Qian Aquan also smiled: "Yes, without you, the lower officials would still be confused, where can they do so many big things." ”

For a while, the hall was full of praise for Lu Ying's voice, Jiang Ping also wanted to praise Lu Ying for being good to the people, worthy of being a god, he would be loyal to protect Young Master Sun in the future, Liu Ziyan was brewing in her belly, and she also wanted to say a few more words to her benefactor.

After all, if Lu Ying is a middle-aged man with a big belly, a group of people surround him and boast about him, it must be because of his money and power!

But Lu Ying is a seven-year-old child, and he looks so cute! White and tender, the facial features are like meticulously depicted ancient paintings, the beauty of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River in the classics, the voice is also soft, petite, gently hugged, the little arms on the shoulders, exuding a faint sandalwood, it is simply heartbroken.

Sometimes Lu Ying dislikes the muddy road after the rain and doesn't want to walk by herself, but everyone is scrambling to be a mount for Young Master Sun!

They shouted wildly in their hearts: Young Master Sun, ride me! I'm shoulder-wide! I walk steadily!

Then they saw Lu Ying frowning and said vigilantly: "You say good things together, is there something that you ask me for, so you coax me with good words first?" If you have something to say, don't do this. ”

All:......

Obviously, he was really praising the boss, but he accidentally triggered the boss's suspicion, which is not a problem.

There are more than 6,000 manpower in one breath, although it is a little difficult to catch up with spring ploughing, but it is still urgent to replant a lot of vegetable fields, as well as planting mulberry, and then there is the repair of ponds and canals and other water conservancy, in short, people will not eat rice.

Liu Ziyan watched it for a few days and saw that the Ding'an County Ya had enough grain to cover the food of these 6,000 people, and did not use their labor to death, so she was completely relieved.

Then Lu Ying summoned her and asked about Qiu Yu's condition.

Liu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Young Master Qiu, he said that the flood in the land of Huxiang is not simple, if you want to break the situation, so that the people who stay there will not be too bitter, and the fields will not be annexed, there must be someone to protect Luo Qianhu to repair the embankment for disaster relief, and it is best to give the Yan Gang a powerful one to deter them." ”

Lu Ying said softly: "So he still went to wade into troubled waters." ”

Qiu Yu is such a big fool.

He waved his hand: "Miss Liu, go and rest, when the wind and rain stop, I will send someone to send you back to Huxiang, and I will ask you to bring a letter to the governor of Liangguang for me on the road." ”

Liu Ziyan subconsciously wanted to ask for any letter, but she was embarrassed to ask more, she just subconsciously thought that she heard that the Lu family's authority in the South China Sea and coastal areas was even greater than that of the vassal king, and now Lu Ying had the confidence to talk to the governor of Liangguang, which shows that the Lu family is so powerful, the salt gang is in front of them, I am afraid that it is nothing, and even the Cao family cannot be compared with them here.

Lu Ying set off to find Lu Fang that night and asked her grandfather to write a letter.

Lu Fang was carving a small wooden carving that resembled Mu Yue, with a huge thin dog and rabbit lying next to him, and the dog paws pulling a small ball.

Seeing his grandson coming, the rabbit came over and wagged his tail and sniffed, Lu Fang said lightly: "What kind of letter to write?" To whom? ”

Lu Ying took out the manuscript paper that had been prepared a long time ago: "Just copy it in your handwriting." ”

Lu Fang took the manuscript paper, read the contents, and then thought about what happened in the land of Huxiang, and understood everything in his heart, he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"It's okay to help you, but Haifeinu, my grandfather has something that I've wanted to talk about for a long time."

Lu Ying was puzzled, but still sat down: "You say." ”

Lu Fang said solemnly: "It's easy to use too many brains and not grow tall, your mother was a head taller than you when she was seven years old." ”

Lu Ying was furious and decisively pointed at Lu Fang: "Rabbit, lick him." ”

My grandfather had a habit of cleanliness and had to take a bath for an hour when he was licked by a dog.

Sun Yaosi, the governor of Liangguang, really met Lu Ying, because as the emperor's horse boy in Liangguang, although he was not suppressed by the local wealthy family like Liu Qianshan, he was not suppressed by the local wealthy family like Liu Qianshan, but many civil officials in the court were secret

There are sea ships making money in the sea trade, this family has a background for violating laws and disciplines, and the family that robbed women still has a background.

Sun Yaosi's nose was crooked just by collecting the agricultural taxes of the two Guangzhous, and the commercial taxes on the sea were all about to hug the thighs of the Lu family, so that he could pull out a fixed amount from the maritime merchants and hand them over to the imperial court every year.

So when Lu Ying was full moon, Sun Yaosi also specially sent a box of gold, silver and jade, a lot of silver tickets, and personally came to congratulate him.

Poor Governor Sun was seasick, and vomited like a fool on the way to Qiongya Island on a sea boat.

After the friendship between the two families was good, Sun Yaosi also knew that Lu Ying was the only seedling among the grandchildren of the Lu family, so it was no surprise that the future king of the South China Sea would be this child, so every year on Lu Ying's birthday, Sun Yaosi would order someone to give a heavy gift.

Even the surname Sun will not be the governor of Liangguang for the rest of his life, but his family also has merchant ships that run to the sea, and the Japanese on the seaside expect the Lu family to fight a good military budget for the imperial court.

It's just that what Sun Yaosi didn't expect was that it was rare for the Lu family to take the initiative to contact him, and it was actually related to the land of Huxiang.

asked Mrs. to entertain Liu Ziyan, who was so black and thin that she didn't look like an official lady, Sun Yaosi opened the letter of the Lu family, and was shocked by the content of the letter.

The writing of the letter is good, at least it is a good pen, if you talk about aura, it is not inferior to the champions of previous years, with Lu Fang's sword intent good words, Sun Yaosi can't wait to frame this letter and copy it three times a day for his son.

I saw that the beginning of this letter directly expressed the inside story of the Huxiang flood, and said that the saint knew about it, as a subordinate of the emperor, we should have the sense of the protagonist of sharing the worries of the boss, so out of the feelings of colleagues, the Lu family specially came to remind Governor Sun that it is good for us to crack down on the Cao family behind the salt gang.

Besides, because the Cao family vainly tried to expand its power and colluded with several martial arts sects, a few of them would disguise themselves as Japanese criminals to hinder our Lu family's affairs, didn't your Governor Sun's family have a ship that was robbed by Japanese criminals a while ago? According to our investigation, that group of people is inextricably linked to the Cao family.

As the so-called coming and not being rude, the Cao family is doing things in Huxiang, Liangguang, and the South China Sea, which is really unbearable.

As for the land that the Cao family originally wanted to annex...... Our family doesn't want all of them, just give us a few barren mountains to grow fruits, and treat them as inland territory, and the rest of the Governor Sun can do their own thing.

A letter is full of emotion, no matter how Sun Yaosi looks at it and analyzes it, he feels that Lu Fang's letter is written correctly, and the opportunity to take advantage of the Cao family is in front of him, and it is a pity to miss it!

Okay, then he will help Liu Qianshan, hand the emperor a fold first, and then send troops to Luo Dahu.

The troops of the two provinces are dispatched together, and I don't believe that the Salt Gang can continue to show off, and the Cao family will definitely be reined in, and he can take advantage of the annexation of the land there!

Lu Ying stirred up the storm with a letter, and easily encircled the land with good mines that Qiu Yu told him.

Even miners are easy to find, some people in the four flooded counties have to find work to support themselves, and fruit trees and farmland can really be planted near barren mountains.

The little man thought halfway through and began to doze off, so he quickly lay down and went to sleep.

On the second day, the pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks purchased by Ding'an County also arrived, and there was a batch of rabbits, which fattened to eat meat, water can be brine, grease can be made into soap, leather and feathers are also useful, rabbits are recommended by Qiu Yu to help small farmers get rich small livestock, and people can also try to raise a batch.

Qian Aquan and others had already asked each household if anyone was willing to raise livestock according to the household registration information they had collected, and the government would send livestock cubs and purchase them uniformly every year.

Naturally, these young officials were not completely thorough in their work, but fortunately, they had enough energy and were willing to work hard; although it was the first time that they had dealt with these matters of persuading farmers to breed, they were still properly handled.

Lu Ying was drenched in the rain a while ago, and after she was busy, she had a low-grade fever and was recuperating at home.
