Chapter 92
After Fang Mo finally made a trip back to Baochuan, he told Zhang Yuqing and Wang Chunniang vividly about Lu Wei's "bad reputation", which could really cure children from crying at night.

Zhang Yuqing was busy looking at the map of Baochuan, trying to see if the Water Great Wall could be completed before winter came, while Wang Chunniang was struggling to memorize the abacus formula, and her fingers almost sparked sparks when she moved the abacus beads.

Fang Mo deeply hated himself for being in charge of the salt field, so he couldn't go out with Lu Wei to suppress the bandits. He was excited for a long time, but no one cheered him on. He said depressedly, "Ma'am, don't you care about your lord?"

Zhang Yuqing stared at the map and said without raising her head, "Caring, caring!"

Fang Mo looked at Wang Chunniang angrily.

Wang Chunniang waved at him, "Don't talk to me, I'm trying to settle the score!"

Zhang Yuqing put down the map and said to Wang Chunniang, "Don't be so impatient, take your time."

It's not that she asked Wang Chunniang to settle the score, but Wang Chunniang took the initiative to ask Ying.For Wang Chunniang, a country woman who can't read much, making a plan is indeed a difficult job.

Wang Chunniang reset the abacus with great hatred, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm sure I can figure it out, figure it out!"

Everyone has their own business and is very busy.Fang Mo is in charge of the salt field, Fang Qin helps Lu Wei train soldiers and manage the barracks, He Qi and the people from the Escort sell salt, they are all contributing to the big things that the adults and their wives are going to do, only she knows nothing, knows nothing , can only do some simple tasks such as boiling water and cooking rice.

Wang Chunniang was naturally ashamed and bitter.

She doesn't want to be a person who can only boil water and cook food. She wants to take on more important tasks and become Zhang Yuqing's right-hand man. Hei, I want to help Zhang Yuqing settle every account clearly.

Fang Mo squatted on the threshold, with a piece of yellow grass in his mouth, sighed, suddenly thought of something, and said: "I met local people near the salt lake, and they transported black grass home in big carts. The slag is like charcoal, but it doesn't look like charcoal. They say they are preparing for winter. If there is not enough firewood, they can use this to burn. It is easy to ignite, but it burns too fast and burns out in a while."

Zhang Yuqing then looked at Fang Mo, and clenched the pen in her hand, "Where did they get it?"

Fang Mo pointed to the direction of the salt lake, "There are a few mountains to the west, and you can't dig too much down. All the things buried in the ground are these dark things! I tried it, and it's really easy to burn, just like charcoal. Like."

"How many mountains are there?" Zhang Yuqing stood up excitedly.

Fang Mo nodded, and looked at Zhang Yuqing blankly, "It's all, what's wrong?"

The madam is really weird, she didn't respond when she said my lord, but she became excited when she mentioned the irrelevant and dirty carbon residue.

"That's not black scum." Zhang Yuqing sighed, "That's black gold!"

Fang Mo was even more at a loss, stood up and reminded: "Let me tell you clearly, that thing is useless except for burning fire, it is better than burning firewood!"

Zhang Yuqing showed a mysterious smile, "That means you don't know how to burn!"

Lu Wei led the team back from suppressing bandits in other places, cleaned himself up in the barracks, and returned to Dusi Mansion after tidying up.Having not seen Zhang Yuqing for many days, he was very eager to see her, and he wanted to tell her a lot about what he had learned along the way.

I just treat her as a reliable partner, a partner who works hard together - Lu Wei said to himself in his heart.

He stepped briskly into the Dusi Mansion, completely ignoring the nodding clerk and the guards eagerly greeting him, striding towards the backyard, wishing to step in front of Zhang Yuqing, his heart filled with joy and anticipation , as if it would overflow as he walked.

It was quiet in the backyard, and the door of the main house was ajar.

He went straight to the main room, what is Zhang Yuqing doing now?Could it be that he is still asleep!
Lu Wei was almost amused by his own imagination. When he came to the door, he took a deep breath, resumed his usual calm and serious appearance, and said in a cold tone: "I'm back."

Fang Qin was running behind him, panting and chasing after him, rolled his eyes and sneered, pretending, and then pretending to Lao Tzu!
However, he pushed the door open with joy in his heart and went in. There was no one in the room, and the bedding was neatly folded.

A thin layer of dust has settled on the desk where Zhang Yuqing often writes, as if no one has lived in it for a few days.

Lu Wei was startled suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Come on!"

Immediately a guard ran over.

"Where's Madam?" Lu Wei asked sharply.

The guard hurriedly said: "Madam heard from Mr. Fang Mo that there are some good things on the mountains to the west of the salt field. She wants to go and see for herself. She has been away for four or five days and hasn't come back yet!"

"What good thing?" Lu Wei asked.

The guard scratched his head, "I don't know. Anyway, Madam has a unique vision. If she said it was a good thing, it must be a good thing!"

"Go down!" Lu Wei was disappointed that he didn't see anyone, and couldn't help but worry about Zhang Yuqing's safety.

After the guards and Fang Qin left, Lu Wei walked over to the desk where Zhang Yuqing was writing, and saw a book under a piece of paper, with a corner protruding obliquely.

He took out a piece of paper, on which was written a line of poetry, wanting to fly without wings, wanting to cross without boats.

The handwriting is long and thin with hooks, proud and lonely, and it is indeed Zhang Yuqing's handwriting. The poem is not a good sentence, but the artistic conception is very melancholy.

After reading it, Lu Wei lowered his eyes, put the paper back in its original position, and sat on Zhang Yuqing's bed.

This place is a place where he is never allowed to set foot on weekdays.

Only today, when Zhang Yuqing was away, did he dare to sit here secretly.

The breeze blew through the window lattice, and the faint fragrance between the pillow and bedding entered Lu Wei's nose, which was the elegant body fragrance of Zhang Yuqing.

Lu Wei accidentally lay down on the bed, with his face pressed against the pillow.

What is she worrying about?Where does she want to fly, where does she want to cross?Do you want to leave me?Is it because he still cares about the son of the Luo family who was almost engaged to her and who was gentle and considerate to her?
Am I not good enough for her?

Lu Wei was at a loss.

It's really not good enough, Lu Wei thought sadly that Zhang Yuqing helped him a lot, and he couldn't give Zhang Yuqing anything except the title of Mrs. Du Si.

Other officials' wives wear gold and silver and enjoy the luxurious life of a lady, but Zhang Yuqing has to work hard for him and give advice.Even though Zhang Yuqing said that she enjoyed such a life, Lu Wei still felt indebted to her.

Soon, night fell and the stars twinkled outside.

Lu Wei was a little reluctant to leave the mattress that was stained with Zhang Yuqing's breath. She didn't know where she was now, but she could use hot soup and rice.If she is so picky, will she feel relieved when she comes back?

Fang Qin bravely shouted outside: "My lord, someone wants to see you!"

Lu Wei woke up like a dream, and immediately sat up, seeing the wrinkled bed that she was lying on, smoothed the bed in a panic, and then went out.

"I just fell asleep in a chair." Lu Wei said, "Who wants to see me?"

Fang Qin has nothing to vomit in his heart, are you sleeping in it?Is that your room?

Besides, you sleep when you sleep, what are you explaining to me?Are you the kind of person who explains things to others?To explain is to cover up, and to cover up is to have something to do!
"It's the person responsible for digging the Great Wall." Fang Qin looked businesslike.

The officer who dug the Great Wall came to announce the good news. He said that all the ponds, ditches, and rivers could be connected in a few days. I heard that Lu Wei came back with his troops to suppress the bandits. I would like to invite Lu Wei to take a look and encourage you to work hard. Soldiers and farmers for many days.

"Okay, very good!" Lu Wei was overjoyed.

Although Baochuan was colder than the capital city, it actually didn't freeze that early. This year, the Water Great Wall was strong enough to resist the looters from the grassland for at least another month.

Afterwards, Lu Wei asked with a sullen face: "Is there any deduction of food for soldiers and civilian husbands? Is there any deduction of wages for civilian husbands? The progress is so fast, is there any violence to force them to work?"

After experiencing the slaughter, Lu Wei is no longer a young man who has just entered the officialdom, and his face is quite majestic and scary after his face darkens.

The officer who came to announce the good news did not dare to show his anger, and immediately knelt down and said, "None! All food and wages were distributed to soldiers and farmers according to the standards set by adults, and no one was forced to work! Knowing that the Great Wall of Water is for self-defense. house, to block the barbarians, and they are unwilling to stop work when it gets dark, so if we do more, we can keep the barbarians out of the door as soon as possible."

Lu Wei nodded slowly. When he goes to the construction site tomorrow, he will find someone to investigate clearly, and no deception will be tolerated.

The officer said again: "In particular, there is a strong man named Liu Erniu who worked the hardest. He said he would serve his life to Master Lu, and he also said that he wanted to join the army and serve as a soldier for Master Lu."

Lu Wei's face softened a lot, and he shook his head and said, "He is the only son left in his family, so let him serve his parents at home with peace of mind."

He will not send his only son to the battlefield, this is his rule.

"Not only Liu Erniu, there are many people who want to join the army and serve as soldiers for Mr. Lu." The officer laughed.

To be honest, it turns out that the Baochuan Army has a bad atmosphere, and they are just pretending to be indiscriminate from top to bottom.

Now that Lu Wei is here, Baochuan has taken on a new look and is thriving. They have worked much harder than before, but they prefer the days when they have a bright future.

At least live like a soldier.

In the affairs of this world, some people are happy, while others are sad.

Lu Wei led his troops to suppress the bandits and went on a rampage. No matter which mountain the bandits were on, or which adult was in charge of the mountain, he suppressed them first.

This time, the soldiers practiced bleeding and gained an advantage, but they greatly offended Shen Shoushan.

In the control mansion, Shen Shoushan's son Shen Menglong smashed many vases and tea cups, almost exploding on the spot in anger.

The fragment of the vase scratched the brow bone of a young man who was kneeling next to him, and soon blood oozed out, but he remained motionless.

"How much did we lose?" Shen Menglong asked viciously, panting heavily.

The young man kneeling on the ground said, "Almost all."

Angrily, Shen Menglong picked up the stool and threw it on the young man on the ground, twisting his collar, "Du Jingyi, what are you doing for food? Let Lu Wei wipe out everyone, who will bring the goods over there later?" ? Relying on your shoulders to carry the handbag!"

 Sweetheart Theater:
  Ye Yu: Lu Wei, you kid is playing hooligan again!

  Lu Wei: How can the matter between husband and wife be called hooliganism?
  Thank you for catching insects!
