Such a thought as Lao Mo, before he was replaced, Zhao Yu was extremely tired and would definitely not allow it.

But after the business and Zhou Zhiruo's affairs, Zhao Yu learned to think about the problem from the small section. These old people in the Five Elements Banner followed the southern expedition and the northern war all the way, and many of them even fell into lifelong disabilities, and it is inevitable that they will be biased to take care of them only by the governor's mansion and the Chuzhou mansion.

But any man, whether he is a hero or a big man, has a lifelong hope for starting a family. It's like many old people from Mingjiao who followed all the way from Yingzhou, when the situation in Chuzhou stabilized a little and their lives became comfortable, they turned to buy industrial fields inside and outside the city. This is not a good sign, and the annexation of land by meritorious families of all dynasties is a major disaster. This is not a unique ill of one time and one place, and it has been recorded in history for thousands of years.

Zhao Yu has the intention to put an end to this symptom with strict punishment and strict laws, but if he is strong, he will appear unkind, but he can share hardships and hardships and cannot be the same as wealth. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have a good plan.

In particular, Liu Bowen reminded today that Zhao Yuyi understands that his current identity has changed, and there will be people who will take the trouble to guess and speculate every move. Willing or unwilling, this is the inevitable result.

Zhou Zhiruo is alone and unaccompanied, although Zhao Yu has the heart to protect her all her life, she may not be able to do everything. He handed over this matter to Zhou Zhiruo, hoping to let Zhou Zhiruo form a good relationship with the old family of the Five Elements Banner, and he would inevitably be lonely.

The situation in Chuzhou is still turbulent, Zhao Yu sat here, and took advantage of this free time to convene several flag bearers of the Five Elements Banner to prepare to finalize the expansion and restructuring of the Five Elements Banner.

The current scale of the Five Elements Banner Elite Battalion is nearly 2,000, all of which are elite divisions that have experienced a hundred battles. It is not listed in the governor's office, and it is considered Zhao Yu's private army nature. Zhao Yu planned to expand the Five Elements Banner to the number of 10,000 people, divided into three battalions, including the elite camp, the guard camp, and the secret camp, and officially included it in the governor's mansion.

Among them, the elite battalion is used as an elite mobile unit in Chuzhou to respond to emergencies, while the guard battalion is responsible for the security of civil and military officials, and the secret battalion is responsible for spying and collecting intelligence.

Zhuang Zheng and several other flag bearers also agreed when they heard Zhao Yu's plan. The current scale of the Five Elements Banner Elite Battalion is more than elite, and its strength is slightly insufficient compared to the thriving captive army, and it is imperative to expand. Just for the inclusion of the Five Elements Banner in the Governor's Office. But he was still a little hesitant.

Zhuang Zheng said: "Brothers, follow the chief flag envoy. Wholeheartedly striving for the great cause of our Mingjiao is not necessarily coveting that official body. If they all serve in the governor's office, there is a layer of restrictions, and they can no longer be as flexible as they are now. It is inevitable that there will be a comparison between their respective official positions. There were many misunderstandings. ”

Tang Yang and the others also chimed in: "Now we have something to do, and we have to decide by one person." If you enter the Governor's Mansion, do you still have to obey the dispatch of Liu Bowen, Xu Da and others?"

Zhao Yu also felt embarrassed after hearing this, although he had the heart to arrange a future for the old department of the Five Elements Banner. However, Liu Bowen and Xu Da are now recognized as the first people in civil and military affairs in Chuzhou, but they are backward in Mingjiao, and everyone will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Thinking like this, he gave up his plan to incorporate the Five Elements Banner into the Governor's Mansion, and set up another Xiaoguo Protector's Mansion, which was led by himself, which was different from the staff of the Governor's Mansion.

If Xiaoguo Mansion does not enter the Governor's Mansion, it will not be able to allocate money, food, and materials to expand the army, and Zhao Yu's eyes will fall on Shen Wansan and other wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. These merchants are nimble and have plenty of money, but they are only concerned about the lack of backing. Zhao Yu included a clause in the constitution of Xiaoguo Mansion: All merchants can pay silver money, and Xiaoguo is the protector.

Although Zhao Yu started the incident with Mingjiao, in the civil affairs of Chuzhou and southern Anhui, the Mingjiao people had very little right to speak, and the only Liu Bowen and Du Zundao also had their own identities recognized by scholars. As for military affairs, he did not leave any room for local interference, whether it was the capture army or the Xiaoguo Mansion, it was completely controlled by the Mingjiao people.

Shen Wansan and other businessmen were extremely shrewd, how could they not know that the establishment of Xiaoguo Mansion and the terms of the Xiaoguo Mansion were exactly Zhao Yu's reciprocation and opening a gap to them, and they all said that they would definitely mobilize 10,000 people to expand the army within half a month.

The gentry saw this in their eyes, and although they felt envious, they were helpless. When it comes to people's livelihood and political affairs, Zhao Yu is still willing to take a step back temporarily, but Chuzhou's military affairs are his forbidden powers, and anyone who has nothing to do with them dares to interfere, and the butcher's knife will definitely fall! The gentry still dare not forget that Zhao Yu opened the situation in Chuzhou, but it was split alive with a bloody butcher's knife!

During this time, compared with Zhao Yu, who was busy with official business, Zhou Zhiruo, who had been staying at home in the house, was not much busy. First of all, the gifts sent by various families in Chuzhou are registered in the book, screened one by one, and those that can be used are used, and those that are not used are sealed into the treasury. This seemingly cowardly girl, once she broke out with interest, she was more involved than Zhao Yu, who commanded the army and herdsmen.

Every time Zhao Yu returned to the inner mansion late at night, he would see Zhou Zhiruo sitting under the lamp with a pen in her hand, frowning slightly, and chanting words in her mouth.

Zhao Yu would occasionally step forward, snatch the booklet in Zhou Zhiruo's hand, and reproached: "Are these things more important than me taking care of people's livelihood and political affairs?

Zhou Zhiruo said in a heartfelt manner: "There are two things that don't make sense at all! You never ask, where will you understand the truth? For example, this Lord Huang, whether he has an official position in his family or a private relationship, sent a box of twenty Dongzhu, this gift is too heavy, I will write it down in the booklet and let people send it back tomorrow." And this one......"

Zhao Yu listened to her nagging and kept counting the treasures, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You have only been here for a few days? I have been in Chuzhou for so many years, and I don't know as much as you do!"

Zhou Zhiruoqiao's face was slightly red, she lifted her sideburns and bowed her head and said, "As long as you pay attention, listen and ask more, you can always know a rough idea." You have so much to do, where do you have the heart to pay attention to these trivial things. I don't want others to feel biased, and I did a good job so as not to bother you......"

Zhao Yu looked at her with a willing look, and simply let go of his hand and stopped asking, it is good to be busy with some things, at least there will not be too much spare time to send some unnecessary worries.

After everything was sorted out, Zhao Yu took two hundred guards of the Five Elements Banner Elite Camp and prepared to rush to Wuxing. At this time, Zhou Zhiruo finally put down the trivial matters at hand and ran over to beg for her companionship.

It is not a regular marching battle, and there is no rule that women are not allowed to be carried during the journey. Zhao Yu wanted to tease her, so he frowned and said, "You have so many things to deal with, how dare I disturb you!"

Zhou Zhiruo was in a peaceful mood, and had regained a little liveliness, and said with a light smile after hearing this: "You are the general manager of Zhenhuai, no matter how much the little woman has to be majestic, ignore the feelings of others." A little trivial, what to do. ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw that she was cheerful and happy.

This time, don't march with a clear banner, the guards all pretended to be the guards of the caravan, and went all the way to Wuxing with Shen Wansan's caravan.

can have a chance to walk with Zhao Yu, and there is no need to taboo the identity of the official face between each other, Shen Wansan can't ask for it. Even if he didn't plan to go to Wuxing for the time being, he gathered a caravan in a very short time and set out on the road on time as promised.

This time I went to Wuxing, from Wuhu through Xuancheng, took the line of southern Anhui, and avoided the fierce fighting Jiqing Road.

After several years of recuperation, southern Anhui, which had experienced the blow of military disasters, gradually recovered, and the original high-walled dock fort was gone, and many villages with smoke curling could be seen along the way.

Zhao Yu pretended to be a traveling bachelor with a long sword hanging from his waist, and Zhou Zhiruo was also dressed in men's clothes, although he looked heroic, but he looked forward to the flowing colors, and it was difficult to hide his charm.

Shen Wansan was measured in everything, although he walked all the way, and he wanted to talk to Zhao Yu once, but seeing that he was not interested in talking, he didn't say much. However, Zhou Zhiruo, who is obviously dressed in men's clothes, attaches importance to it from the bottom of her heart, and looks at the meaning of the joy between the two people talking and laughing, and feels that this girl who caused a lot of turmoil in Chuzhou before is not simple. It's a pity that I didn't bring my female dependents this time, otherwise I would have made a good fate.

When Wu Xing was approaching, Zhao Yu finally invited Shen Wansan to prepare for a deep conversation with him. When Shen Wansan walked into the tent where he was staying, Zhao Yu asked, "I don't know how much Mr. Shen knows about Wu Xing?"

Shen Wansan was worried all the way because he didn't know what Zhao Yu's intention was to go to Wuxing, and when he heard him ask, he asked cautiously: "The manager is interested in Wuxing? This place is my hometown, the folk customs are elegant, and it is the place where the three Wu Wenying gather." Other than that, there is nothing peculiar, and it is not a place where soldiers must fight. ”

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, I will leave you time to arrange calmly, and I will not rush to war with Zhang Shicheng. Zhao Yu heard Shen Wansan's persuasion and said with a smile.

Shen Wansanqiang laughed, didn't have time to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said embarrassedly: "Suzhou is the place where I prospered, and it is difficult to ......count all the industries for a while."

Zhao Yu nodded, waved his hand and said, "I believe this, Mr. Shen doesn't need to say more." To be honest, Mr. Shen and I still have a friendship with fellow villagers, and Wuxing is also my hometown. This time, I went home to visit my father, so I invited Mr. Shen to accompany him. ”

When Shen Wansan heard this, his eyebrows showed a hint of thought, and after a while, his face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wuxing Zhao ......"

Zhao Yu nodded and smiled: "It's my own family." ”

This sentence was not stingy with a thunderbolt, Shen Wansan pointed at Zhao Yu, dumbfounded, and couldn't open his mouth for a long time. (To be continued......)
