Chapter 453: Expanding Territory

Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, the backyard of the governor's mansion

Isn't it almost autumn harvest? Lv Desheng has been running around in the fields recently, encouraging people to learn farming and sericulture.

This day, he was also wandering in the fields. Jiang and Tian went to the temple to burn incense, and Lv Zhiyuan took time to see them off.

Qin Sheng came back from Lelang County and went straight to the governor's mansion.

Only Lv Mingzhi, who came back from the Seventh Institute of Works, was left in the governor's mansion.

When he saw Qin Sheng, Lv Mingzhi immediately asked someone to go to the front to invite his second sister.

When Lv Songli returned to the backyard, the familiar scene appeared again, with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry filling the ground.

"What is this?" Lv Songli had some guesses in his heart.

Qin Sheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of dazzling white teeth, "When we cleared the banditry in the three counties of Pingzhou before, weren't there some fish that slipped through the net? I took people to wipe them all out."

What Qin Sheng didn't say was that he took people to the south, and his eldest brother took people to the north. Their goal is to expand the territory as much as possible and increase the depth to facilitate future operations. Moreover, they replaced the captured stronghold with their own people.

Lv Mingzhi looked at his brother-in-law as if he were a gangster. He had already run out of Pingzhou, why didn't you let him go?

Lv Songli said helplessly, "Why didn't you tell us in advance so that we could give you some assistance." The government had no idea about their raid this time.

"No, no, short-term operations don't need logistical assistance."

The Jintaizhuang Military Region has been established for some time. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it must be pulled out for a walk.

"Okay, I'll have people count and file these properties, and then distribute the rewards to the soldiers later." Lv Songli said.

Qin Sheng nodded repeatedly. After finishing the business, he looked at Lv Songli eagerly.

Lv Mingzhi couldn't bear to watch it, so he found an excuse to go out.

"Are you tired? Go back and rest first."

Qin Sheng was about to say that he was not tired, but Lv Songli's next sentence made him shut up obediently.

Lu Songli reached out and touched his face, "There are bruises under your eyes. Haven't you had a good rest for a long time? You look old."

Perhaps because of the blood, Qin Sheng has a heavy aura of killing. He was exposed to the sun this summer, and his skin was a little tanned, which was very manly.

Qin Sheng resisted the urge to touch his face. He had only lived a rough life for half a month. Did he look old?

Lu Songli was really busy. In less than two minutes, people kept calling her in front.

Qin Sheng decided to be obedient and go back to have a good sleep.

As soon as he got home, his thighs were hugged, "Sixth Uncle, you're back!"

He lowered his head and stared at Qin Yu.

As Qin Yu shouted, a group of children ran out of the yard.

After a while, Qin Sheng was surrounded by a group of little guys.

"Sixth Uncle!"

"Sixth Uncle, when will you take us to Fang County again?!"

As the saying goes, if the leader likes something, the subordinates will follow suit.

In order to cope with the next war, since Lv Desheng took office, they have deliberately guided the style of Qin and Han.

Under their deliberate guidance, Pingzhou is martial, and the little guys usually clamor to be the vanguard, the little general, the great marshal, etc.

This year, as soon as the weather warmed up after the New Year, Qin Sheng began to train the navy.

When the weather was hot, Lv Songli and the Cao Gang bought two old ships and came back.

This was even more incredible, Qin Sheng simply took all these clamoring little guys to practice.

He felt that driving a group of adult sheep was also driving, and driving a group of lambs was also driving, which was really bold.

However, Qin Sheng arranged them in the shallow water area and arranged a lot of soldiers to watch them.

At first, Qin Sheng only took the older children of the Qin and Lu families. Later, the people in Tianshui New Village knew about it, so they asked the village chief to come to discuss with Lord Lu, whether Qin Liuye could take all the older children of Tianshui New Village to Fang County for training?

Qin Sheng, who was given a task by his father-in-law: ...

So the team of the little guys is getting bigger and bigger.

Recently, Qin Sheng led the troops out, and this activity was stopped, which the children regretted.

Therefore, when he came back, the children saw him, their eyes lit up.

This news was sent back to the South by the spy arranged by Xie Zhan in Pingzhou, and Xie Zhan changed color when he heard it.

Xie Zhan suddenly realized the problem!

Compared with the Qin and Lu families and their close relatives in Tianshui New Village, there are too few children a few years older in the Xie family!

These children mainly died too many times during exile.

Although he moved the family members to the Chen family land after cleaning up the Chen family, and worked hard to improve the treatment of the family members, there were children born in the family last year and this year, but it was not in time.

Xie Zhan thought about it and decided to adopt a group of orphans between the ages of five and ten. Last year, there was a flood in the south, and many people died, young and old, and many children lost their parents and relatives...

With his order, the Xie clan began to look for smart orphans in various villages in the south.

Anshi Wharf

Ning Changge took a classmate to rest in a teahouse by the wharf. He had received a letter from Zhou Jing before, saying that he would board a ship to the north soon.

He calculated the time and thought it should be in the next few days. So he went to Anshi two days in advance to pick up people, but he didn't know if he could pick them up smoothly today.

Ning Changge had just had a cup of tea with his friends when he heard someone on the wharf shouting that the Cao Gang's ship was about to dock.

He hurriedly took his friends forward and saw the Cao Gang's big ship slowly approaching the shore.

The boatman shouted loudly, "We are in Anshi, Liaodong County. Those who want to disembark here, get ready."

Zhou Jing supported his mother and waited on the deck, not arguing with others. They would get off the boat after everyone else got off.

"Zhou Jing, Zhou Jing, here——" The little brother next to Ning Changge saw Zhou Jing and quickly put his hands together like a trumpet and shouted to the people on the deck of the big ship.

When Zhou Jing looked over, Ning Changge quickly waved his hand.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing also smiled and waved at them.

Half a minute later, Ning Changge successfully received the person. He reached out and patted his shoulder, "A Jing, you are amazing. You even brought your aunt out."

Ning Changge and his classmates in Nandi had correspondence from time to time, and he knew something about Nandi. Now the scholars in Nandi need to apply for a road to go far away. It's okay to go out alone, but if you sell your property and take your family with you, you will be stuck.

"Stop talking." Zhou Jing smiled bitterly. He was able to bring his mother out with him on the pretext of seeing his mother for medical treatment and giving up his family property. Except for floating silver, nothing else can be taken out of Nandi.

Ning Changge gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "You have courage."

"It's nothing, they are all ancestral property, it doesn't matter if they leave it there." After all, Nandi is their hometown. If they can't make it outside, they can also have a way out.

He accidentally revealed his feelings. When Zhou Jing reacted, he asked, "Is this okay?" He was really scared by some people in Nandi.

"Don't worry, you can come and go freely in Pingzhou."
