Ning Changge took Zhou Jing's mother and son to find a shop to eat.

"Brother Ning, this is Liaodong County?" After settling his mother, he looked around.

It looks more prosperous than the south, with many newly built buildings and wide roads, giving people a sense of accessibility.

Don't look at him from the time he decided to leave the South to the time he boarded the ship to go north, in fact, he was quite apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.

But thinking that he is still young, and he can't get used to seeing the faces of some people in the south, it's not that he can't fight once.

Taking advantage of the gap between eating, Ning Changge introduced him to the basic situation of Liaodong County, "Yes, the boundary of Liaodong County is here." Because Liaodong County was the first place where Lord Shilu took office, its development was a little better than that of the other three counties in Pingzhou. Among the eighteen counties of Liaodong County, Houcheng is the most prosperous. The five counties of Fangxian, Anshi, Pingguo, Qi and Fanhan are also developing very well because they are coastal counties and towns. ”

Zhou Jing nodded, looking really good.

"However, because Lord Lu has moved from Liaodong County to Liaoxi County at the beginning of this year, Liaodong County has entered a period of steady development this year. The three counties of Pingzhou have entered a period of rapid development, and it is believed that it will not be long before they can catch up with Liaodong County. Ning Changge's tone was quite proud, he also contributed to this, although the effect was small, but it was really pleasant to watch this land change little by little.

Zhou Jing looked at the good brother who talked about the local people's livelihood, he hadn't seen him for a year, and the change was so big, it was a change for the better.

"Is the life of the people of Liaodong County very good?" Zhou Jing noticed that compared with the sad faces of the ordinary people in other places, the common people here have a lot of smiles, and they are also very warm and kind to outsiders.

He sees life here.

"Yes, after Lord Lu took office, the lives of the people of Liaodong County gradually improved. This year's days are even better than last year's, with plenty to eat all year round and the occasional meat meal. ”

Zhou Jing's mother and son were amazed, the people of Liaodong County can eat enough, and they can eat meat a few times a year, what kind of fairy day is this?

Just in time, the store brought their order to the food they ordered - four bowls of strong noodle soup noodles.

Ning Changge beckoned to them, "Come, let's eat something first, and then go back to Houcheng to settle down!" ”

"Okay, Brother Ning, you can arrange it." After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate a bite of the dough, and unexpectedly found that the taste was strange, he was already hungry, and he couldn't help but eat two bites in a row.

After Ning Changge finished eating, he said, "I'll show you two houses in my tooth shop, and I'll take you to see them when I return to Houcheng." ”

"There is a Liaodong Academy in Houcheng, and it is more convenient to live in Houcheng. If you don't want to live in Houcheng, it's okay, and Changli in Liaoxi County is also good. The Thorn History Mansion is located there, and Changli's various bright faces and hidden benefits will be tilted towards Changli. Ning Changge said in a low voice.

Zhou Jing glanced at him unexpectedly, then looked left and right, and also lowered his voice, "Can you say this?" ”

"Well, this is obvious to everyone. Lord Lu was still punctual in Liaodong County, and Hou Cheng was like this. Whether it is Hou Cheng or Changli, this is the platoon of the assassin station. ”

After eating the noodle soup to cushion his stomach, Ning Changge rented a carriage and returned to Houcheng.

After getting into the carriage, Zhou Jing found that the road from Anshi to Houcheng was also very lively.

In addition to the donkey carts, there are also many strong men carrying bags on this road.

"Brother Ning, what are they doing here?"

Ning Changge glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, "You said they?" They are all people who go to repair the city wall. ”

The mother and son of Zhou Jing are quite strange, these people are conscripted to do coolies like repairing the city wall, how can they still talk and laugh?

Ning Changge explained to him that this year, Pingzhou repaired canals, roads and other large-scale infrastructure, and the conscription was almost requisitioned, but the city wall must be repaired.

So the government issued a red document and recruited people to build the city wall. Of course, in addition to this, there are some field fortifications that need to be built.

The people responded positively, and every household sent their strong labor.

This year, the government sent people to guide the farming in Pingzhou.

Intercropping, interplanting, rotation, fine seedling raising, timely fertilization, and teaching them to make their own grass and trees gray water to kill insects......

At the end of the year, they were very busy, but the rewards were also great, and the crops planted this year grew exceptionally well.

Take rice as an example, now is the heading and filling period, and the spikes are longer than ever, a quarter of the longer.

They can fully imagine that when these spikes are successfully filled and completely transformed into rice ears, their harvest will be five or six buckets more than before.

In addition to rice, they have successively harvested a lot of good things, wheat, sorghum, millet, and all kinds of mushrooms. The beams of the house are covered with sacks of grain and dried wild animals.

In addition to this, they have earned money and their lives have improved a lot.

For the common people, building the city wall is not only the task of the government, but also a solid barrier to protect their lives, their homes and the fruits of their labor.

Therefore, at the recruitment office, at a glance, the people who came to apply were all strong men.

There is no way, some big ladies who are used to taking advantage want their skinny sons to apply, and they will be despised, and they are persuaded to go back before they even get out of the village.

If she really doesn't listen to persuasion, the saliva of the villagers can spray her to death.

After listening to Ning Changge's words, Zhou Jing only had one feeling, it was different, it was really different.

Xianbei Royal Court

Tuoba Khan sat down at the top and asked, "Is the news true?" ”

I didn't expect Dragon City to have what they wanted.

What are they going south for, isn't it food and salt?!

The general below said boldly, "Khan, it's not true, won't we know when we take down the place?" ”

The others burst into laughter.

Now the whole Pingzhou is a fat sheep in their eyes, especially Liaodong County, and Lu Desheng manages it very well.

"Wait, after the autumn harvest, let's go south!"

"Yes, yes, let the Dali people harvest the grain for us to dry first, and then we will pick it up, hahaha-"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"However, Pingzhou has been building a city wall recently, and it seems that we have been on guard for a long time."

"These southerners are smart! But it doesn't matter, it's not like we haven't done a strong attack and forced their gates open. ”

"Hahaha."

Everyone present did not mention the three-year peace contract signed with Lu Desheng and others last year, and in their eyes, they did not think of honestly abiding by it.
