After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 291 I have a dog
Shi Maoqing continued to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"In my opinion, you have to go to this cadre training class as early as possible. We have two different traditions from the Zhou Dynasty, and the knowledge system is also different. We mainly study arithmetic, chemistry, physics, etc. If you go, you will not only have to learn a whole new If you want to come back early to help me, or if you want to go to a higher level in the future, you really have to go to this cadre training class early. "

Seeing that Song Luo spoke directly and sincerely, Shi Maoqing was a little undecided for a moment.

I'm afraid it will take a year to go back and forth and study at home.

This year, will there still be a place for him in Jiangling Mansion after he comes back?

The little girl Song Luo in front of her looks small and cute, and she speaks and does things without any care, but who knows what her plans are.

Qi Er also advised: "Master Shi, your ability to stay in office proves that at least you can withstand the test of doing things for others. You are only in your forties now, and you still have a bright future. Working for His Highness King Zhao, all you want is If you are serious and responsible, you will have many opportunities for promotion in the future. Don't delay your studies. If you delay your studies, you will delay your own future. Jiangling Prefecture is too far away from Jinzhou Prefecture after studying for half a year before being released. The new policies, new ideas, and new things from there are finally transmitted to us. If you don't study for further studies, then what will happen to you? You are destined to be left behind. But don't blame me for not reminding you that being an official in Jinzhou Prefecture is completely different from being an official in the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone from Jinzhou Prefecture is like a wolf. Sihu, those are the people who can study for 12 hours out of 10 hours a day——"

Shi Maoqing's eyelids jumped when he heard it. What new policies, new ideas, and new things? The Zhou Dynasty has not changed for many years. What can be new in Jinzhou Prefecture?

Qi Er's words aroused Shi Maoqing's curiosity.

But Qi Er and Song Luo were already chatting about each other.

"This land is not good. It is too close to the city. It will have to be relocated when the city expands in the future."

"That's right. And we have to consider the sales direction. The demand for cotton-padded clothes this year still comes from the colder north, so we have to choose the mountains and forests slightly north. This way, transportation will be more convenient."

"It's a pity that the cement road has not yet reached our turn. Otherwise, our transportation will be more developed and our entry and exit will be more convenient. No, I have to write a letter to fight for it. Minister Qi, you have a good relationship with His Highness, so you have to help me. A few kind words.”

"This is for sure. You and I are both in Jiangling Mansion, responsible for the survival plan of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangling Mansion. Even if I don't want to have this face and annoy His Highness, I have to steal or jump in line. Get a concrete road for us in Jiangling Prefecture!”

"Is the comrade in charge of standardized breeding from the Department of Agriculture here?"

"As for me, who is a fast runner and a bicycle and a light rider, they will arrive first, and they will probably arrive four or five days later."

"They haven't arrived yet, so we can start the publicity work first."

“The publicity announcement hasn’t arrived yet.”

"No, time is money, time is life. Didn't Minister Jiang allocate one or two hundred people? Let's use them first. Jiangling Mansion is too far away from Jinzhou Mansion, and we are already one step behind others. If we don't grab time, It’s easy to be ranked last in the year-end assessment!”

"Yes, that's what I mean. Who cares, grab whoever has the man! Besides, there is no war on the front lines these days. Minister Jiang has many elite soldiers and generals from Jinzhou Prefecture. Let's go directly to poach Minister Jiang. corner!”

Shi Maoqing couldn't help but feel frightened when he heard this.

Oh my God, these two girls are going to steal Minister Jiang's people!
As expected of someone from Jinzhou Prefecture, his behavior is very tough!
But for some reason, Shi Maoqing felt even more hopeful.

When you are an official, you have to be so energetic and you fight for it!
These two girls don't want to be ranked last in the year-end assessment, and he, Shi Maoqing, doesn't want to!
Now the three of us are like grasshoppers on a rope, so we can't work together!
The two girls were chatting with each other, and then a soldier came to report: "Minister Qi, Lord Song, and Minister Jiang are waiting for you at the Yamen!"

As the two newly arrived, they naturally had to establish a good relationship with the general stationed here, not to mention that the general stationed here was Jiang Yongkang!

The legendary young general who conquered three cities in one breath, Minister Jiang who was in a high position at a young age!
This old man who fought alongside His Highness in the past is also a famous figure in Jinzhou Prefecture!
Let’s not talk too far, let’s just say that the current famous generals such as Zhang Wanjun, Lu Fei, Chang Zizai, etc. were almost all trained by Jiang Yongkang!

It can be said that he is a real boss!

When the boss made an appointment, the three of them could only run as fast as they could. When they came to the government office, Song Luo was still a little nervous.

Shi Maoqing had dealt with Jiang Yongkang for a long time, so he was considered an acquaintance.

Song Luo grabbed Qi Er and said, "Minister Qi, why do I feel more nervous meeting Minister Jiang than His Highness?"

Qi Er smiled reluctantly, "To be honest, I'm nervous too."

"Why? Aren't you an old man among the Xu family cadres?"

"Minister Jiang has been in the east for the past two years, and I haven't seen him very often. What's more, this man is brave and good at fighting. He is a famous general in Jinzhou Prefecture. How can I not be nervous."

Thinking of a certain rumor, Qi Er was not so nervous. She smiled and said to Song Luo: "But... according to legend... Minister Jiang is extremely handsome... and is the dream son-in-law of many girls in our Jinzhou Prefecture."

"really?"

Shi Maoqing sighed inwardly: Look, look, it's true that it's not fun to be on official business with a little girl. These two or three sentences have to do with her appearance.

But... Jiang Yongkang is indeed young, promising and handsome. Not only in Jinzhou Prefecture, but also in Jiangling Prefecture, he is also the dream son-in-law of thousands of girls!
I remember when Jiang Yongkang entered the city, how many girls crowded on the roadside just to take a look at him from a distance.

But Minister Jiang, this person only has official business in mind, and that is not the least bit incomprehensible. Faced with the enthusiasm of the girls in Jiangling Mansion, they only responded with a cold face, which really made the girls sad.

The three people walked into the government office with their own thoughts, and Jiang Yongkang deservedly sat in the main seat.

There is no official etiquette in Jinzhou Mansion, and kneeling is not allowed, so the three of them just bowed slightly to say hello.

This made Shi Maoqing feel unable to adapt to it no matter what.

The three people sat down in order of rank.

Then Song Luo boldly glanced at Jiang Yongkang.

I admired in my heart: He really looks handsome.

As expected of the people who followed His Highness in the early days, all of them were the best among people.

It's just that Jiang Yongkang seems to be a little colder than the people in Jinzhou Mansion. There is always a slight alienation in his eyes, and he is also lukewarm towards them.

Jiang Yongkang had no expression on his face. Perhaps he was used to fighting around in the military camp, so his behavior was more direct. He didn't say any greetings when he came up. He just asked: "What arrangements does your highness have for Jiangling Mansion?"

Song Luo knew that he, the prince of the palace, should answer, so he immediately said: "This area has a warm climate and abundant rainfall. It has always been an important food production area. Therefore, the main task given by the city lord is to increase food production and then use cotton to drive other industries. To increase people’s income, of course, the Jinzhou government must have supporting policies, and the three tasks of universal education, standardized breeding, and cowpox vaccination must be promoted first.”

"Have you gathered everyone?"

"Minister Qi and I arrived first, and the main force should be behind us. It is expected that all of them will be on duty within five days."

"I can cooperate with you if you need anything."

"It's not necessary for the time being. We recruited a large number of new staff during last year's staff assessment. We still have enough manpower for the time being."

"Okay, Jiangling Mansion is in a special location, close to the frontline battlefield. You must be more vigilant when working here."

"Understood. Before departure, the Ministry of Education organized a training course for border personnel. We all know the pros and cons."

Jiang Yongkang seemed to smile slightly, "Your Highness always considers everything carefully when doing things."

No one dared to answer the question for a moment.

Shi Maoqing, on the other hand, couldn't adapt to the simplicity of the Jinzhou government officialdom, which didn't require polite exchanges.

Jiang Yongkang asked again: "Is there anything new in Jinzhou Mansion? Or new trends?"

Song Luo could only look at Qi Er.

Qi Er thought for a while, "Now the research institute has reduced the clock to half the size of a palm, and it can be made into a pocket watch. The current price is at least 10,000 taels, and the market is in short supply."

Jiang Yongkang raised his eyebrows slightly.

As big as a palm?
This seemed like just a small step, but he knew that the people at the institute must have put in a lot of effort into this. "Hu Wei died suddenly some time ago. After Minister Zhao took over the Supervision Department, he found a lot of evidence that Hu Wei failed to perform his duties. At present, Hu Wei has been revoked from all posthumous benefits, and is also promoted among officials as a negative example. The brochure Will be posted soon."

"I already know this."

Although he was at the very edge of Jinzhou Prefecture, Jiang Yongkang was fairly well-informed. He had corresponded frequently with Xu Zhenying over the years, and sometimes Xu Zhenying would even write in advance to ask for his opinion.

Perhaps he is the only one who knows why Hu Wei fell, how he fell, and how he was ruined.

She was such a proud person, but she was so aggrieved and remorseful in the letter. He wished he could dig out Hu Wei's body and whip it!
"Talking about other things, didn't His Highness say he wanted to start a newspaper? Do you have a sample?"

Qi Er shook his head, "The newspaper is no small matter. Before I left, they were still reviewing the content. But it will probably be done soon."

"Okay, if you need anything, just come to me. I leave the development of Jiangling Mansion to you."

Several people quickly responded "Where is it?"

Jiang Yongkang just went around and met each other, explained a few words, and then led the people out.

Jiangling Mansion was the place where he stayed the longest.

It seems that since they first chose to rebel, he and Xu Zhenying spent less and less time together.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past three years, he has been traveling around all year round and has almost never been back.

I don't know what she looks like now, whether she is tall or short, fat or thin, but I think with her temperament, she can live well no matter where she is.

If it weren't for the intense war this year, he would really want to go back and take a look.

Otherwise, just take advantage of Xu Lezhi's marriage and find a reason to go back?
Jiang Yongkang was thinking this, but he saw that Atao was already packing large and small bags next to him, and kept collecting them from the vendors, as if he was taking advantage of the opportunity to make a big purchase.

Someone around him smiled and explained: "That boy Atao recently took annual leave and is going back to Qianzhou to visit relatives. Isn't this a big deal?"

"Atao has to go back. Is his family going to move west? It's more than a thousand kilometers away! We don't know what year or month it will be when the war subsides, but we can't take advantage of this annual leave to go back to see you See my parents."

"Well, speaking of which, the soldiers across the street don't know what they are doing. They have stopped fighting recently! If they don't fight, let's fight over! In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of them to die down and fight to King Ming in one go. Go to the nest!”

"What's the point of fighting? Poverty alleviation?! Don't you see that our Jiangling Prefecture is full of waste and needs to be developed first? To the east is the sea, and the fishermen are so poor that they don't have any underpants. Fighting is even more meaningless."

"Hey, hey, what did that kid buy again?! Look at his smile, it's not like he's meeting his parents. Look at that kid buying makeup, he's obviously going to meet his sister!"

"Which sister?!"

"Which one else? It's the little daughter of the uncle next door who he talks about every day, named Miao Hua!"

Jiang Yongkang looked over and saw that A Tao was actually holding a little rabbit in his hand. The little rabbit was jumping around in his hand, so someone joked: "Why don't you buy powder instead of a rabbit?"

Atao patted his chest: "Go, go, go, what do you stinky men know? Miaohua likes to raise rabbits. I will give her rabbits. As long as she sees rabbits, she will think of me. Do you understand?!"

A burst of cheers followed.

Jiang Yongkang was thoughtful.

He... seems to have thought of giving Xu Zhenying a sixteenth birthday gift...

When spring came and flowers bloomed the following year, Xu Zhenying received a gift from Jiang Yongkang conveyed by Atao on his behalf.

It is a snow-white puppy with big eyes, thick hair and lively personality, somewhat similar to the Samoyed of later generations. Now he is not that big, like a small dog, and he is planning the distance. I am afraid he was still a puppy when I bought him.

Xu Zhenying held her in her arms and couldn't put it down.

Although she has never raised a dog before, mainly because Old Man Xu refused to let him, she has raised many small animals.

The puppy seemed to be humane and knew who its owner was. It hugged Xu Zhenying as soon as they met and hummed from time to time. It was extremely cute.

Xu Zhenying liked her very much, but she pretended not to care on her face. After all, she was barely the monarch of a country now, so she had to be calm.

"Isn't it a waste of time and money to transport a dog from Jiangling Prefecture?"

Atao said with a smile: "It's not hurt. Anyway, I have to come back to help my parents move westward. I also come back to meet His Highness and report on the war in the east."

"How about the war in the east?"

"There hasn't been any movement from the group of bastards across from us in the past two or three months! They are probably frightened by our firearms and are trying to figure out how to crack it. The brothers' hands are itchy, but Minister Jiang doesn't allow us to move, so we have no choice but to I cook broth in front of their city gate every day to make them hungry! Then every night I use a loudspeaker to tell them about our policies, telling them that the people here have meat every day and can pick up money with their eyes closed! , so they can’t sleep!”

Xu Zhenying found it funny.

She is naturally aware of the battle situation in the east, and many of the destructive methods were devised by her. As the saying goes, attack the city first by attacking the heart. Anyway, the soldiers of this era may be except those trained by Jinzhou Prefecture who have the concept of defending their home and country. Other soldiers They all follow whoever gives them money.

As for the luxury of ideals and beliefs, they cannot understand it.

This is why the prisoners surrendered so quickly.

It's not a fight with anyone, as long as you're full, isn't it enough?
"Your parents are going to move westward? How is the situation in Qianzhou moving westward?"

Atao naturally knew that Xu Zhenying was not only concerned about their family, but also about the westward migration of the entire Qianzhou, so he thought for a while before replying: "Almost half of the native people in Qianzhou have left, and the mountains are obviously much empty. But there are still many people who are unwilling to move westward.”

"What's the reason?"

"It's just cowardice. I want to wait for the people in front to explore the way, write back and inform them of the situation, and then they make a decision."

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but sigh, "But in this case, as more and more people come to the west, there will be no good preferential policies in the future."

"When I went back this time, I mobilized a lot of people. Most people still believe in the city lord, but some people are really used to life in the mountains and forests, especially some elderly people who find it difficult to leave their homeland and refuse to leave. leave."

"You have to go out and make a living." Although Xu Zhenying said this, he also knew how difficult it is for people to leave their hometown. "Last year, there was a drought for two months. I'm afraid there will be enough rain this year. The state is full of mountains and forests, prone to landslides or mudslides.”

"That's what I told my parents, otherwise they really wouldn't want to move."

Xu Zhenying nodded, "When will you go back?"

"I'll leave as soon as I see you."

"Well, when you go back, tell Jiang Yongkang that the reason why the war in the east has stopped is because King Ming has been sending people to steal the blueprints of our firearms. It's just that they haven't succeeded yet. Don't take it lightly. You must be vigilant. I guess they will always think of other ways if they can't steal the blueprints. What they are most afraid of is that King Ming and King Li will join forces. You might as well fight with King Li and King Li before they steal the blueprints. Let’s practice guerrilla warfare. Anyway, King Li has been beaten to a pulp. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to move away from King Ming’s territory, but we can always move King Li’s territory.”

"But if the people of the Big and Little Li Kings move, I'm afraid that the people in the east will immediately make a move. They won't just sit back and watch our family dominate. Minister Jiang said that three games are the best situation. If we fight the Big and Little Li Kings, Ming Wang There will definitely be some action, and when the time comes, we will be attacked from both sides.”

Xu Zhenying smiled, "Be smart and send some brothers to pretend to be rogues, go to the territory of King Li and Little Li to collect some brothers, and then encroach on their territory step by step. Who could know that you are soldiers of Jinzhou Prefecture? These three pillars stand in opposition to each other. , Aren’t both of those legs ours?”

Atao's eyes were shocked and he stared at Xu Zhenying, then bowed deeply: "Your Highness...this move...is really high!"

This strategic thinking seems to be even more brilliant than Minister Jiang!
It’s no wonder that Minister Jiang always said that he was a soldier led by His Highness. They didn’t believe it before, but now when they saw it, Minister Jiang’s sinister attitude and habit of shooting cold arrows were not learned from the man in front of him?
This time, looking at the young girl, Atao didn't find her face and soft heart easy to talk to.

This... His Highness is clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Atao retreated with lingering fear.

And soon, a burst of excited shouts came from the room, "Houfang, Qu Min, Xiaohua, I have a dog! Come and see, my dog ​​is so cute!!"
