Chapter 272: Old Friends Reunited

The county watchman's house

Lu Songli and Wu Ren are talking.

Wu Ren went back to Chang'an, and moved from Chang'an with his family to Tianshui Village, Houcheng, Liaodong County. After that, Lu Desheng was promoted to the county guard, and Wu Ren officially worshiped Lu Songli as a teacher.

The apprenticeship banquet is simple and grand.

At this point, the two officially determined the status of master and apprentice.

Although Wu Ren is older than Lu Songli, the master is a teacher, and Wu Ren does not dare to be disrespectful to her.

After Lu Desheng was promoted to the county guard of Liaodong County, the restrictions on Lu Songli were very small, and the same was true for the Qin family.

Everyone is not such a blind person, and the most important point is, of course, Lu Songli himself is not such a person who strictly abides by the rules.

Even if someone whistleblows, they have a reason to respond.

Her father used them, and that was to make the best use of them. Anyway, no matter how much Lu Songli and the Qin family do, they will not be meritorious.

She herself helps her father with official business in the county guard's office, but she does not hold any position, which means that no matter how well she does, the credit will not fall on her head. But the benefits will fall to her father.

The Qin brothers are too, the anti-bandit operation is being carried out vigorously, and the Qin family brothers even serve as the main force to suppress the bandits.

But they have no credit, and the credit goes all to their squad leader or even higher, of course, these people are their own people.

This is what I said before, power does not disappear, it only transfers.

Lu Songli said to Wu Ren, "Grain, oil, meat, eggs, all kinds of food, get a little more." ”

A few days ago, when they were paying their salaries, the rewards for the bandits were also given to the soldiers who participated in the bandits.

The amount of rewards depends on the merits of the soldiers in the process of suppressing the bandits, and the more can receive fifty or sixty taels, and the few can receive three or four taels.

It's like a drop of water going into a pan of oil and frying it directly. For the soldiers, how long has it been since they have seen the military pay in cash? Serving as a soldier in Houcheng, it's good to be fed, and the military salary has never been seen.

Now go out to suppress bandits and have a cash reward? That must go!

In addition, after the soldiers who went to suppress the bandits returned to the barracks, they did not mention the good food they had when they were outside to suppress the bandits.

Nowadays, more and more soldiers have applied to suppress bandits, and they are very enthusiastic, and the ranks of bandits are growing stronger and stronger.

There are also men who serve in road construction, and the daily consumption is not small.

These people have a great demand for meat, eggs and food.

Lu Songli has always pursued a truth, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse good grass.

You can't eat well, and you still want others to work hard for you?

Wu Ren shook his head with a bitter face, "Master, you can't get it, you really can't get it." ”

When the war was about to break out before, many ordinary people disposed of all the livestock they raised at home before fleeing for their lives.

When Lu Songli heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, are the materials in Liaodong County so barren?

The amount of grain, oil, meat, and eggs she asked for was still the demand under the premise that they didn't care about the food of the military camps in Liaodong County, and even the food in the military camps in Houcheng.

The quartermaster of the Houcheng barracks had a problem, and he himself had serious greed for ink.

At present, the military of Liaodong County is in charge of Le Guicai, and her father is currently very busy and has not intervened in it.

And this quartermaster of the Houcheng military camp has a bit of a background, Lu Songli knows this very well, and she doesn't care about this stubble for the time being, she doesn't want the good meat and good food she worked so hard to get into someone else's pocket.

"I know you have a heavy burden on your shoulders, but try to do it."

Wu Ren's burden is very heavy now, and the Longcheng Pharmaceutical Workshop has gradually stepped on the right track, and it can start shipping and distributing goods.

At present, Liu Erxi and Mo Bing are also coming to help, and they are currently staring at the decoration of the shop.

In addition, it is also responsible for the purchase of these official and military supplies, the purchase of medicinal materials, and so on.

Lu Songli realized that Wu Ren still needed to continue to grow.

"Master, I'll do my best."

Lu Songli knew that he couldn't be blamed for this, and Liaodong County was in ruins.

Not only that, but she found that the price of food in Liaodong County remained high, which was all due to the impact of the war. When the grain merchants saw that the situation was wrong, they all ran away.

Lu Songli sighed, it would be nice if he could buy a batch of grain from the south. It's a pity that their business territory has not yet been rolled out.

"In this way, if it doesn't work, you can walk towards the coastal county town and collect a little more salted fish, shrimp, kombu, seaweed and other dried seafood."

After Wu Ren went out, Lu Songli also stood up and walked to the window to look into the distance.

She thought, we still have to get the breeding industry up!

Solve the problem of people's livelihood first.

You have to enlist some skilled people to do these things.

Chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep have to be raised, rabbits can also be raised, rabbits reproduce quickly, in addition to eating meat, skins can also be saved.

In addition, Lu Songli is choosing a site, like later generations, to build an economic development zone, move the county guard mansion over, and also put the academy there......

All these things need to be done.

Her father recently took Guo Chunsheng to inspect the counties of Liaodong County, and by the way, he dealt with some cases of civil lawsuits against officials, as well as some wrongful and unjust cases. First, it is to redress grievances for the people, and secondly, it can brush up its reputation and prestige in Liaodong County.

The brothers of the Qin family were busy training troops to suppress bandits, Xue Xu was in charge of road repair, Xu Zheng was in charge of security in Houcheng, and Yang Wei led people to protect her father and Lord Guo......

Paper mill in progress......

The site of the college has been selected and the construction is ready to begin......

They all have a burden on their shoulders.

Lu Songli has a headache, and there are still too few talents.

Xue Xu could probably guess that the sixth lady was eager to find talent, but it was inconvenient to post a recruitment list.

He pondered, didn't the old man Ji set off? Why hasn't it arrived yet?

As soon as he said it, the housekeeper of his house sent a servant to him, saying that a distinguished guest had come to the house, and the servant even brought a token.

When Xue Xu saw it, he immediately called the overseer, and after explaining the matter, he went back.

As soon as he returned, he saw his friend sitting in his house, drinking tea.

"Why are you so slow?"

Ji Wuyin rolled his eyes at him, "You don't know how to calculate, Hainan County and your Liaodong County are separated by thousands of miles, and my speed is already fast." ”

Although it does not reach the level of 600 li or 800 li a day, there are 400 li a day.

"You don't know how to walk by water, do you?"

"You went north by water?" Ji Wuyin asked him disdainfully.

Xue Xu was silent. He really didn't take the waterway.

People like them are very willing to spare their lives, and they will not easily put themselves in danger.

The waterway is faster than the land route, but it is more dangerous than the land route.

Although there are bandits on land, there are also bandits in the water.

If you encounter a water bandit accidentally falling into the water on the way north by boat, it is really a day that the earth is not spiritual.

The truth is such a truth, but it does not prevent Xue Xu from despising the other party. "You're so cowardly and scared to death."

"As if you're not afraid of death?" Ji Wuyin glanced at him.

He Xue Guangxian is poor, has nothing, and is afraid of dying tightly. He Ji Wuyin is so rich, isn't it normal to be afraid of death?

If something happens to him, he doesn't know who is cheaper for his great wealth. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't accept it.
