Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

After the Qing army defeated the rebels, the people of Cangzhou were naturally happy and excited.

In addition to being excited, it is inevitable to be worried.

The rebels burned, killed and looted, will these Qing troops do the same?

They have seen a lot of soldiers and ruffians. Whether it is the former Cangzhou garrison or the soldiers of Cangwang Mansion, they all look arrogant and arrogant.

Even the local soldiers are like this, will these soldiers from Gyeongju go too far?

The common people anxiously waited for the fate to come.

Miao Hai is a small boatman in Cangzhou. He works on the boat all year round and can't return home several times a year.

A month ago, winter came, and their boats stopped going to sea. He returned home, intending to have a comfortable and stable winter.

Unexpectedly, the rebels came.

One by one, with red eyes and sticks in hand, they broke into the house and rummaged through boxes and cabinets, snatching everything they could.

Miao Hai didn't dare to stop him at all, he could only watch those rebels destroy his home.

He thought he was miserable enough, but he didn't expect there to be worse.

I heard that the neighbor's daughter was taken away by the rebels and ruined.

Seeing his six-year-old daughter in his arms, he couldn't help being afraid for a while.

I also heard that some women's wives were also defiled by the rebels.

He looked at his wife with big arms and round waists, and for a moment he was glad that his mother-in-law was born rich and did not let the group of rebels look at him.

The rebels killed Cangzhou government officials in front of the whole city, and forced the people to slaughter chickens and cook for them. They held a celebration banquet in the city. After a month, they consumed all their food.

Miao Hai didn't know how he survived these days.

Until the Qing army attacked the city.

That night, they were awakened by the loud shouts and killings outside. Through the doors and windows, they could clearly see the flames shooting up to the sky.

What's going on here?Why are you fighting again?

Miao Hai held his wife and daughter in his arms, not daring to close his eyes at all.

The sound of fighting lasted for several hours, and when the moon was in the middle of the sky, the city finally became quiet.

Miao Hai's heart was beating wildly.

It's all over?Who came to fight the rebels?Who won this time?

From time to time, footsteps could be heard outside the door, as well as low or high orders.

"Quick! Take all the wounded back to the camp!"

"Here's another one!"

"Tie him up!"

"Master, please spare me, I never killed anyone, I was forced, Lord please spare me!"

"..."

Miao Hai carefully identified and vaguely heard what happened.

It seems that a group of troops defeated the rebels!

Miao Hai held his wife's hand and shed tears excitedly: "We don't have to be bullied by those bastards anymore!"

The wife trembled and cried: "But our family has no food left, how will we live in the future!"

They didn't expect the government to release food.

Officials are gone, who will provide food?

There are many people who are equally anxious as them, and they all wait until dawn with their eyes open.

After a night of cleanup, Cangzhou City regained some order.

Some villains in the rebel army were executed on the spot, and the rest of the rebel army died or surrendered.

The Qing army injured more than [-] people and killed two people.

Although the death of two comrades made everyone very sad, the battle was a great victory and the morale of the army was extremely high.

Didn't they train for so long just for this day?

"Commander, we have captured Cangzhou City, what should we do now?" Li Shu asked Huo Yan.

Huo Yan ordered: "Calculate the number of people living in the city."

"Yes!"

Miao Hai was brave enough to climb up the courtyard wall to check the situation, when there was a knock on the door, which almost made him fall off the ladder in fright.

He didn't answer.

The knock on the door paused, and then it rang again.

"Is there anyone in the family? We are the Gyeongju Army, and we were ordered to wipe out the rebels. Now that the rebels have been suppressed, you don't have to worry about it!"

One person in the alley shouted loudly, and the residents of the whole alley could hear him clearly.

But no one dared to speak out.

They are afraid of the rebels, and they are also afraid of officers and soldiers.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We are here to count how many people are left in the city. Do you have any food? If there is no food, you can go to the gate of the city to get rations!"

Miao Hai was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

He is a boatman with a lot of experience, and he has dealt with sailors before, so he is more courageous than ordinary people.

After listening all night last night, he felt that these Qing soldiers should not be bad people, so he boldly asked: "Can you really get food?"

Qing Jun said outside: "Really! Everyone, don't be afraid, those rebels have been arrested by us!"

Looking at his expectant wife and daughter, Miao Hai swallowed and said, "There are three people in my villain's family."

"Okay, write it down!"

With him taking the lead, the rest of the residents also shouted through the door.

After the recording was finished, Master Xiangzhong left, and there was no more movement, so Miao Hai couldn't help but secretly climbed up the wall to watch.

The city was in a mess.

Suddenly, a line of teams came into view.

They were dressed in black clothes, and they walked across the street with neat steps.

With a high-spirited righteousness.

Miao Hai had a better impression of this army.

They didn't force their way into the houses, they didn't do any evil, they just asked outside the door, and they said they could go to the city gate to get rations...

and many more!

Miao Hai hurriedly got off the ladder, and said to his wife and daughter, "Stay at home, and don't open the door when anyone comes, remember!"

The wife asked, "Where are you going?"

"Didn't the military master just say that there are grain distributions at the city gate? I'll go and see."

The wife worried: "Are you really going out?"

Miao Hai comforted her: "I saw just now, there are no rebels on the street, they are all military masters, it doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag, opened the door and walked out.

He was the only one in the alley, and the other residents were still afraid to go out.

He came to the entrance of the alley cautiously, looked left and right, and was momentarily stunned.

The military master said that the food was distributed at the city gate, but he didn't say which city gate it was!

At this moment, a young boy passed by the alley, he was wearing the military uniform of the Qing Army.

It's Qing Jun, and he's still a child, so he shouldn't be too fierce, right?

Miao Hai quickly said: "Dare to ask the military master..."

Yang Ji'an turned around: "You called me?"

"Master Jun, do you dare to ask which city gate distributes rations?" Miao Hai asked with a bow.

Yang Ji'an smiled and said: "At the north gate, there is a queue there, you have to go early, otherwise you don't know when the queue will end."

"Thank you, Master!"

Seeing him being so kind, Miao Hai's heart immediately settled down.

He hurried to the north gate, and met an acquaintance on the way, who had already received the ration, and was full of joy.

"Ah Hai! You are too slow!" The man shook his head and sighed.

Miao Hai couldn't care less about greeting him, and went straight to the north gate.

When he arrived, there was already a long queue at the north gate.

Miao Hai was at the back of the line, struggling to wait for the time to pass.

When he was in line, the soldier in charge of distributing grain gave him a small bag of wheat.

Miao Hai burst into tears of gratitude, and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Jun!"

The soldier who distributed the food said with a smile: "You are welcome, the food is from Cangzhou, so it is only right and proper to distribute it to you."

Where has Miao Hai seen such a reasonable military master?My heart is full of emotion.

But the military master said again: "However, there is not much food left in Cangzhou, and I don't know when the imperial court will distribute relief food."

Miao Hai sighed in his heart, the imperial court has delayed sending troops for so long, and the relief food does not know when it will be delivered!

He was about to walk back with the wheat in his hands, but he saw Gyeongju soldiers carrying corpses one after another and placing them neatly outside the city.

Those corpses were blood-stained and described as tragic.

Some are rotten and smelly, and if it weren't for winter, they might have been full of flies.

Miao Hai couldn't help asking: "Master Jun, what are you doing?"

"These are ordinary people who were tortured and killed by the rebels. We put their remains outside the city so that the surviving people can claim them. Those who are claimed will be taken home, and those who are not claimed will be buried collectively."

After hearing this, Miao Hai couldn't help feeling sour, and almost shed tears.

These Qing troops are all good people!

They not only distribute food to the living, but also take care of the funeral for the dead.

He carried the food, shook his head and sighed, and rushed home.

The grain distributed by the North Gate was shipped from the granary of the Cangzhou government office.

The rebels robbed the people's money and food, and also robbed the granaries.

More than [-] people spent nearly a month wasting extravagantly in Cangzhou City, and there was not much left in the government's granary.

Therefore, the surviving residents can only receive a little rations each.

Certainly not to continue.

The Qing army can afford to wait, but the people of Cangzhou cannot afford to wait.

After the rebels entered the city, they almost ransacked the city completely. They took money and food from the people, drank and ate meat wantonly, and committed misdeeds to good women.

They claim to do justice for the sky, but what they actually do is no different from corrupt officials who are fish and meat.

Now many places in the city have been turned into ruins, and the people are homeless and have no food to eat. All these things need to be resolved urgently.

Right now, the city has just been regained, and the good news has not yet reached the capital, and it is unknown when the imperial court will reply.

Huo Yan simply sent a letter back to Qingzhou, explaining the situation in Cangzhou in detail.

Lou Yu immediately drew up a post-war reconstruction draft, wrote it in a reply letter, and signed it at the end.

Just as he was about to load the envelope, he had a whim and took out a wooden box from the hidden compartment of the bookshelf.

Inside the box is a delicate and small jade seal.

This was Huo Yan's birthday gift to him before.

Lou Yu dipped the bottom of the letter with red mud, and stamped it on the end of the letter.

The letter was rushed into Huo Yan's hands.

The post-war reconstruction plan has a lot of content, and Lou Yu wrote several pages.

Huo Yan was still writing down the content of the plan with a serious face, but when he turned to the last page and saw the seal at the end, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Happiness is only a gentleman, and happiness is fulfilled."

He naturally hoped that that person would live happily ever after.

"Commander," Li Shu lifted the curtain and said with joy on his face, "Did your Highness send you a letter? What did the letter say?"

Huo Yan handed him the first few pages of letters, but left the last one behind.

"Why don't you give it all to me?" Li Shu was puzzled.

"You do as before." Huo Yansurong reminded.

He folded the last page and carefully stuffed it into his clothes.

The plan written by Lou Yu is quite detailed.

Post-war reconstruction, nothing more than a few aspects.

The first is material supply; the second is personnel resettlement; the third is resumption of production; the fourth is infrastructure construction.

In terms of material supply, Lou Yu has already arranged manpower to prepare, and it will be sent to Cangzhou in the near future.

As for the remaining three, we have to wait for the court to reply before we can continue.

With the material assistance from Qingzhou, the surviving people in Cangzhou were able to survive for several days.

Years have passed, but the imperial court has not sent a new magistrate, let alone relief food.

Before the new magistrate came, Lou Yu didn't plan to make a big move.

But the current situation cannot be ignored by the people of Cangzhou.

The court can wait, but the people of Cangzhou can't wait.

After thinking about it, Lou Yu finally decided not to wait any longer.

He brought a large number of supplies and craftsmen, and led Zhou Man and a thousand soldiers from Qingzhou to Cangzhou.

There are no large groups of bandits in Gyeongju, and the rebels in Cangzhou were captured, so naturally there will be no bandits. The journey has been smooth.

The Qing army was still stationed outside the city, and only a small part stayed inside the city.

When Lou Yu arrived, Huo Yan was leading people to clean up the mess in the city.

The rebels burned, killed, and looted, and many houses were burned down, leaving some ruins, which could not be lived at all.

Even if it is rebuilt in the future, it must be cleaned up first.

During this period of time, the people of Cangzhou saw what the Qing army did and engraved it in their hearts.

After they entered the city, they did not carry out any looting. They rescued the oppressed common people from the rebels, and they cleaned up the city in obscurity.

Because of these, most of the people in Cangzhou spontaneously obeyed the command of the Qing army and rebuilt their homes with them.

It is said to be reconstruction, but now ten out of ten people in Cangzhou City survive, and the countryside outside the city is being looted even more seriously. Many people have fled their homes, and they may never return.

Most of those who can escape are young and middle-aged, and those who stay are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled.

Without enough labor, how can reconstruction be carried out?

Qing Jun can't do everything, right?

They are also very busy every day.

City gates were broken and had to be replaced; houses were burned and new ones were built; government offices were destroyed and had to be repaired.

All of these require many raw materials and craftsmen.

Fortunately, Lou Yu brought a lot of supplies and craftsmen this time, so he can provide short-term assistance.

Huo Yan hurried to the tent, lifted the curtain and entered, and saw Lou Yu writing at his desk.

A gust of cold wind seeped in.

Lou Yu raised his head, with a smile on his face and eyes: "You fought this battle too fast, come and sit down."

"Why is Your Highness here?" Huo Yan sat down opposite him.

Lou Yu said: "I have to come and see what Cangzhou City looks like. How is Ah Wei?"

"After the burial of King Cang and Princess Cang a few days ago, he has been staying in the mansion."

Huo Yan was concise and to the point, he didn't care too much about the rest.

"I'll see him later."

Lou Yu rested his chin with one hand and looked at Huo Yan, "The imperial court ordered 'Han Yun' to act as agent for the Cangzhou affairs temporarily. Before the new magistrate arrives, we can still do something."

"Well, I've sorted out all the books related to the government office." Huo Yan said.

Lou Yu sighed sincerely, Huo Yan can always guess his intentions in advance and carry out them silently.

He really needs to read some documents and case books of Cangzhou Mansion to understand the situation of all walks of life in Cangzhou Mansion before he can take more targeted reconstruction measures.

"Then go to the government office first." Lou Yu got up excitedly.

Huo Yan asked: "What if the new magistrate wants to hand over affairs to 'Han Yun'?"

"No way."

Lou Yu has already considered it.

The reason why the imperial court has been unable to decide on the prefect candidate is that many people are unwilling to come, and those who are willing to come have no background qualifications.

In this way, the final result is nothing more than three.

First, the imperial court repeated its old tricks. Since Han Yun can take charge of the military affairs of the two states, Guo Lian can also take charge of the government affairs of the two states.

The second is that the imperial court finally decided to send a new magistrate, but this magistrate was originally powerless and just a small person.

The third is that someone with power and courage volunteered to be the magistrate of Cangzhou.

One and two are beneficial to Lou Yu. Under these two assumptions, he can control Cangzhou smoothly.

Three is a bit trickier.

Although the real Han Yun didn't die, Lou Yu didn't expect him to cooperate with him in acting.

If Han Yun didn't show up, how could the new magistrate fail to see the clue?

As long as there is a memorandum, Lou Yu's actions will be fully exposed.

But Lou Yu had secretly made a decision.

"As long as the other party cooperates with me in rebuilding Cangzhou, I will not interfere with him. If he ignores the life and death of the people and only cares about me, then..."

Lou Yu didn't continue to say the rest, but Huo Yan understood.

He doesn't feel anything.

To achieve great things, blood is always required, whether it is one's own blood or that of the opponent's.

The two went to the government office together.

Most of the government officials were brutally killed, and only a small number of them escaped unharmed because they happened to go out to handle errands.

Under the command of the Qing army, the petty officials carefully cleaned up the government offices.

The inner hall is the office of the magistrate and other officials.

After the looting by the rebels, the bookshelves, tables and chairs fell to the ground, many books were torn and burned, and the room was in a mess.

At present, it has been roughly restored to its original state, but it is difficult to restore some damaged books.

Lou Yu flipped through the case book quickly, and got a little understanding of the basic situation of Cangzhou.

Cangzhou is basically a plain, with a flat terrain and rivers passing by, so there is a lot of cultivated land, and agriculture is relatively more developed than Gyeongju.

Cangzhou is also close to the sea, but the difference from Gyeongju is that Cangzhou did not build a salt field, but built a shipping port on the coast, so Cangzhou's shipbuilding and shipping industries are very developed.

With the external port, Cangzhou's economy will become prosperous.

Lou Yu almost instantly thought of the usefulness of Cangzhou.

Gyeongju now produces a lot of industrial products. If you want to trade with foreign countries, in this world, land transportation is not only inefficient but also dangerous. It is better to go by water.

Cangzhou has large ships and a seaport. If he can control Cangzhou, he can transport the industrial products of Gyeongju to the south in exchange for rice and other grains.

The south is remote, rice is harvested twice a year, or even three times a year, and there is no war yet, so the people should have a lot of surplus food.

Most of the insurgents are wandering in the north, and they will not think about going south for the time being.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this business route was interesting!

What's more, Cangzhou has a lot of arable land and fertile soil. He can develop Cangzhou into a grain production base and provide a solid backing for Gyeongju's industrial development.

With joy on his brow, he shared this idea with Huo Yan, and then asked, "What do you think?"

Seeing that he was happy, Huo Yan became happy too.

"What industrial products does Your Highness want to sell to the south?"

Lou Yu said, "Both glassware and paper are fine."

Mainly glass daily necessities and glass handicrafts.

After such a long period of exploration, the craftsmen have mastered a relatively mature glass production process.

They can blow out a lot of exquisite and beautiful glassware.

It is conceivable that if a set of crystal clear glass tea sets are displayed on the table, which attracts the guests' admiration, the host's family will definitely be honored.

In addition to tea sets, glass can also be used in all aspects of life.

He did not believe that the common people were not moved.

"Your Highness can do whatever you want."

Huo Yan's expression was gentle and his eyes were soft, which dilutes the sharpness left in the battlefield a few days ago, and his whole person is unbelievably handsome.

The year is over, and he is seventeen.

Huo Yan was only 14 years old when we first met. At that time, his family was ruined, he was tortured, his body was covered with thorns, and he was cold to everyone.

Thinking of this, Lou Yu couldn't help laughing.

Huo Yan asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lou Yu teased: "You listen to everything I say?"

"No."

Lou Yu pretended to be surprised: "How dare you not listen to me?"

Huo Yan shook his head helplessly: "It depends on what His Highness said."

Things like taking personal risks in the capital before are absolutely unacceptable.

His attitude was too serious, Lou Yu felt that teasing was boring, so he let him go, got up and said:

"Come with me to Prince Cang's Mansion."

He is regarded as the nephew of King Cang, so he should pay homage to him.

And Lou Wei, after all, has a little friendship, so he can't ignore it.

The two rode to King Cang's Mansion.

The once gorgeous and luxurious Cangwang Mansion has now become desolate and dilapidated.

The servants of King Cang's Mansion died, were wounded, and fled, and there were not many left.

These days, the leader of the rebel army regards the Cang Palace as his "royal palace", squandering and destroying it recklessly, causing a mess inside and outside the courtyard of the Cang Palace.

Lou Wei was sitting in the study reading a book with a calm face.

Ah Da ran in and said with a slightly happy expression, "Your Highness, Prince Yu is here!"

"A Yu is here!" Lou Wei's eyes lit up, "He's really here?!"

"real!"

Ah Da didn't know why he was happy, probably because of what the Tian Qing army did these days, he subconsciously regarded Lou Yu as the backbone.

He grew up in Cangzhou. Cangzhou is his hometown. How could he not feel sad seeing Cangzhou become devastated?

However, the imperial court did not send people to rescue in time, and the candidate for the new magistrate has not yet been determined. Should Cangzhou be left to fend for itself?

If it weren't for the Qing army, the people of Cangzhou would still be living in purgatory on earth.

Yu Shizi was the one who brought them hope.

"Quick! Follow me to the main gate to greet you!"

Lou Wei was dressed in plain clothes and hurried to the door.

As the eldest son of Cangzhou, of course he also felt distressed for Cangzhou.

But he doesn't have A Yu's outstanding mind, and he doesn't have A Yu's out-of-the-group talent. He can only watch the people suffer, but there is nothing he can do.

He really admired Lou Yu, and sincerely hoped that Lou Yu could help him tide over the difficulties.

As soon as they arrived at the main entrance, they saw Lou Yu and Huo Yan standing side by side.

Both of them are magnificent and phoenix-like, and they are both amazingly talented and elegant.

Lou Wei admired and bowed in his heart, and quickly went up to meet him: "A Yu, Commander Huo."

"Brother Wei, I'm sorry for the change." Lou Yu said solemnly.

Lou Wei pulled his sleeve: "A Yu, thank you for coming to see me."

"I'm going to see my uncle and aunt."

After the worship, Lou Wei invited them to the study.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lou Wei got up suddenly, bowed deeply to Lou Yu, and said earnestly, "A Yu, Brother Yu has a merciless request."

After being killed and losing her parents, Lou Wei lived in extreme pain.

He has lost a lot of weight these days, his cheeks are sunken, his figure is thin, and he is wearing plain clothes, which highlights the handsome appearance of the Lou family.

A pair of eyes are black and white, pure and clear.

Lou Yu sighed inwardly, and stretched out his hand to help him up, "You and I have the same roots, so you don't need to be so polite."

Lou Wei's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was choked up: "A Yu, I don't think I'm worthy of being the heir of Cangzhou."

He was so stupid that he couldn't do anything.

Lou Yu said sternly: "You are the prince now, and you will be King Cang soon, so don't belittle yourself."

"But……"

"Nothing but!"

Lou Yu interrupted him with a frown, "You still feel sorry for yourself here? You can learn what you don't know, and don't think about shrinking when you encounter difficulties. You are the king of Cangzhou, don't you want to let the people of Cangzhou live a better life?"

His words of concern for teaching directly hit Lou Wei's heart.

Lou Wei's tears rolled down in an uproar.

"Woooooo, I will learn! A Yu, I will study hard!"

Ah Da stood aside, and couldn't help but bowed his head and wiped his tears when he saw this.

His Highness finally cried out.

These days, His Highness has been enduring grief, he is really afraid that His Highness will get sick.

Now that Prince Yu is here, His Highness has something to rely on, and finally he is no longer holding back.

Lou Wei cried hard, his eyes swelled into peaches, and fell into a deep sleep under Lou Yu's gentle but firm comfort.

When Lou Wei fell asleep, Lou Yu stepped out of the bedroom.

Ah Da suddenly came in front of him, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed loudly to Lou Yu three times.

Lou Yu said indifferently: "You are asking me for such a big gift to me?"

"No," Ah Da raised his head and said sincerely, "It's thanks to Mr. Yu for his generous help."

Lou Yu sighed lightly: "Brother Wei can say these things, but you can forget about it. Get up."

"Yu Shizi, no matter what, you are the benefactor of Cangzhou, and I should worship you."

Ah Da did not change his attitude because of his words.

He knew that there would be no pie in the sky, and Yu Shizi worked so hard to help Cangzhou, and he did not hesitate to spend his troops and supplies, of course it couldn't be just because of kindness.

"What do you want to say?" Lou Yu asked.

Ah Da's eyes were full of sincerity: "Your Majesty Yu, His Highness's mind is very simple. He has no idea of ​​fighting for power and profit. After this incident, he only wants to do what he should do as a son of the prince. He only wants to protect Cangzhou."

"It's useless to say these things. Now Cangzhou is not his decision. The imperial court will send someone to take over as the magistrate. Even I can't intervene."

Now that the situation is unclear, Lou Yu can't promise him anything at all.

Even if he could agree, why?

He is not a philanthropist, he will help others within the scope of his ability, but nothing more.

Ah Da said, "Your Majesty Yu is unparalleled in wisdom and planning, so why be afraid of the new magistrate?"

In his opinion, even an old fox like Guo Lian who has been rooted in Gyeongju for many years can't handle Lou Yu, and the new prefect of Cangzhou has no foundation, so how can he suppress Lou Yu?

Lou Yu was not as optimistic as him.

After the court dawdled for half a month, Lou Yu's Anbu finally got the news.

The new prefect of Cangzhou has been appointed.

It is Fan Yusheng, grandson of Taifu Fan.

It stands to reason that Fan Yusheng is young and has no qualifications, so it is impossible for him to be dispatched as a magistrate all at once.

But for court officials, they have long been familiar with bizarre and absurd things.

Doing things stupidly, anyway, this matter is settled like this.

Lou Yu was a little surprised when he received this news. After all, he was half an acquaintance, and acquaintances are easy to handle.

However, Fan Yusheng is a gentle and modest gentleman on the outside, but Lou Yu has not yet figured out what is actually going on in his heart.

It is both a test and an opportunity for such people to come to Cangzhou.

But Lou Yu guessed that without the Fan family operating behind the scenes, it would be impossible for the officials to send Fan Yusheng to Cangzhou at the risk of offending the Fan family.

Therefore, Fan Yusheng's trip must have a purpose.

In the spring of the 31st year of Zhengqian, Fan Yusheng set off from the capital with the emperor's order, and embarked on an uncertain road.

Originally, the Ministry of Rites should have sent officials to Cangzhou to preside over the matter of the prince's succession to the noble, but no one was willing to go at this juncture, so Fan Yusheng was entrusted with this matter.

Anyway, it's just an announcement and a ceremony, nothing worth a special trip.

Fan Yusheng accepted the job with a good temper.

He is much smarter than Fang Lin, and he has not been wandering outside for several months like him, making him in a mess.

It took eight days from the capital to Cangzhou.

Such a long time is enough for Lou Yu and the others to repair the Cangzhou city gate.

On the day Fan Yusheng arrived, the sky was blue and cloudless.

He was riding on a horse, looking at the brand-new city gate of Cangzhou Mansion, his handsome brows were shining brightly.

The city was guarded by the Qing army, and He Dazhou was in charge of guarding the city.

Dressed in military uniform, he walked up to Fan Yusheng's horse, bowed his hands politely and said, "Lord Fan."

Fan Yusheng didn't recognize him, got off his horse and asked, "Dare to ask this general's name?"

"He Dazhou."

Fan Yusheng cupped his hands and saluted: "Fan Yusheng, General He, it's a pleasure to meet you."

He Dazhou was business-like: "Please show Master Fan your seal."

Fan Yusheng naturally complied.

After verifying the seal, He Dazhou stretched out his hand: "Master Fan please."

Fan Yusheng looked up into the city.

The city gate in front of me should have just been replaced, and the brand new luster is dazzling.

I thought I would see a dilapidated and desolate city when I came here, but I didn't expect it to be so neat and clean.

A group of people entered the city.

He Dazhou wanted to lure Fan Yusheng into the mansion, but Fan Yusheng unexpectedly said: "General He, Fan has an order with him, so he must first visit Cangwang Mansion."

He Dazhou was taken aback for a moment, without hesitation: "Master Fan, please."

A group of people turned to Cangwang Mansion again.

A messenger had already reported to Cang Wangfu.

Lou Yu has been living in Cangwang Mansion these days, and now Lou Wei is very attached to him and takes good care of him.

After crying that day, Lou Wei gradually got out of the haze of pain and began to become stronger.

He was studying hard in the study, while Lou Yu was eating snacks and reading the script.

The messenger came suddenly, and both of them froze for a moment.

Lou Yu was the first to come back to his senses: "Brother Wei, you are not going to welcome the prefect Fan's visit?"

"Okay, I'll go and meet you, A Yu, wait for me in the study."

Lou Wei adjusted her clothes and hair, and went to the main entrance with Ah Da.

He has recovered his complexion these days, but the lost flesh has not grown back, and now he is thin, with thin cheeks, and a pair of extraordinarily large eyes.

He stepped out of the threshold, and Fan Yusheng happened to walk in front of the mansion.

The two looked at each other.

Fan Yusheng's eyes were slightly startled, the former little fat man had changed so much, it seemed that the death of his relative had hit him hard.

"The lower official has met His Royal Highness." He bowed down earnestly.

Lou Wei replied: "Lord Fan is here to invite you."

Fan Yusheng secretly sighed in his heart, but he was more stable than in the capital.

As soon as the two of them entered the mansion, Fan Yusheng said: "Your Highness, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit."

Everyone knows what the purpose is.

Lou Wei knelt down.

The decree is long and full of nonsense, but there is only one core idea: your father is dead, you can become the king of Cang, and you must work hard!

Lou Wei calmly accepted the decree and kowtowed to thank her.

As for the cavalry ceremony, Fan Yusheng was too lazy to do it, and Lou Wei was also unwilling to do it.

So be it.

Anyway, who knows if it works or not.

"Master Fan has traveled all the way, how about taking a short rest in the palace?"

Lou Wei was just saying something politely.

Unexpectedly, Fan Yusheng nodded and replied: "Then thank you, my lord, for your hospitality."

The two walked into the main hall hand in hand, and immediately there were servants serving tea and setting plates.

Fan Yusheng took a sip of tea leisurely, while Lou Wei was out of his mind.

Even though he forcibly endured, Fan Yusheng could still see that he was fidgeting.

He smiled and asked, "I wonder if General Han Yun is in the city?"

Lou Wei already knew some things about Gyeongju, so after hearing this, he said, "General Han has something important to go back to Gyeongju."

"Oh? I wonder when he will come back?"

Lou Wei never lied, she had a guilty conscience, although she tried her best to open her eyes wide, Fan Yusheng still couldn't escape some small actions.

"I do not know either."

He had been ordered by Lou Yu before, and once Fan Yusheng asked about Han Yun, he would just say "I don't know".

Fan Yusheng smiled brightly: "General Han has paid a lot for Cangzhou during this time, and the prince must have seen it. I want to find an opportunity to thank him, but I don't know what habits or taboos he has."

Lou Wei lowered his eyes and remained silent. Even if he had met General Han, he might not know General Han's habits. If Fan Yusheng asked him what Han Yun's habits were, he would say "I don't know"!

"My lord, can you tell Fan what General Han looks like?"

Lou Wei blurted out: "I don't know!"

"..."

The room was silent.

Fan Yusheng almost didn't laugh.

Lou Wei realized later, and hurriedly made amends: "Although General Han is handling the Cangzhou affairs, I really haven't seen him."

"But I asked the people on the road just now, and they said that General Han had visited the palace, and you were the one who met him personally."

"How is it possible!" Lou Wei's eyes widened.

Fan Yusheng closed his smile, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "My lord, have you ever met Han Yun?"

Lou Wei scratched her neck: "No!"

"Okay, since you don't know, I'll ask someone to ask the people in the city. It's impossible that they haven't seen it." Fan Yusheng stood up.

"Wait!" Lou Wei called him quickly.

He tugged at the hem of his clothes, feeling like he was in a mess.

Isn't A Yu always resourceful?Why didn't even think of such a big loophole this time?

what can we do about it!

How about tying Fan Yusheng up!

In desperation, Lou Wei turned to the gallbladder.

Fan Yusheng knew what he was thinking just by looking at his eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

He secretly sighed, not intending to continue teasing Lou Wei.

"My lord, Yu Shizi is in your residence, I wonder if you can introduce him for me?"

Lou Wei: "..."

At this moment, Feng Erbi appeared outside the main hall.

"Lord Fan, Your Highness welcomes you."

Fan Yusheng smiled, stepped out of the main hall with his hands behind his back, and followed Feng Erbi to the study.

Lou Wei followed in a daze.

He really couldn't understand this situation.

So did A Yu really want to hide it from Fan Yusheng, or did he have other plans?

When Fan Yusheng entered the study, he secretly asked Feng Erbi: "Didn't Ah Yu ask me to lie to Fan Yusheng?"

Feng Erbi coughed lightly, looked up at the sky: "I don't know about this either."

Incense was burning in the study.

As soon as Fan Yusheng entered, he met Lou Yu's eyes.

There is also Huo Erlang beside him.

Fan Yusheng smiled and cupped his hands: "I have seen His Royal Highness, the Prince, and... Commander Huo."

When he was in the capital, he didn't believe that it was Han Yun who took back Cangzhou.

If Han Yun really has this ability, can he still be hidden until now?

With the ability to conquer cities and lands, who else but Huo Jia Erlang?

So where did Han Yun go?

It must be under the control of Prince Qing's son.

From this we can see that the so-called confiscation of military power is simply an illusion.

King Qing's son crossed the sea without telling the truth, and still firmly controlled everything in Qingzhou.

Lou Yu looked gentle and calm: "Master Fan, sit down."

Fan Yusheng was kind and generous, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, and His Highness is even more elegant than before."

"To each other." Lou Yu replied perfunctorily.

Fan Yusheng was helpless: "I don't know if Your Highness still remembers the teahouse appointment that day?"

Lou Yu nodded: "If I don't remember, do you think you can reach Cangzhou smoothly?"

If Fan Yusheng hadn't been told by the teahouse that day about the "solitary tomb at Fengbo Pavilion", Lou Yu would have chosen to kill him on the way.

Today's peach, today's Qiongyao.

Fan Yusheng laughed and said: "Your Highness knows that the lower officials can see the clues, why did you let King Cang perfunctory me?"

"It's not very sure." Lou Yu ruthlessly retorted.

Fan Yusheng choked.

He arched his hands, "After entering the city, the officials saw the scene in the city, and I sincerely admire Your Highness."

In a short period of time, Cangzhou City, which has gone through two wars, has returned to an orderly life.

It is very human.

Lou Yu stopped talking nonsense: "You took office this time, didn't you bring food and grass for disaster relief from the court?"

Military disasters are also disasters.

Fan Yusheng sighed softly: "Your Highness, why bother to ask questions knowingly? Don't you see how the court is doing?"

"Okay, then I won't talk nonsense." Lou Yu said, "The food and supplies previously rescued were all paid in advance by Qingzhou. Now that you are the prefect of Cangzhou, I came to you to ask for help."
