Horse on the World

Chapter 637
Li Wen and Li Gan have never been to Chong County, once they passed the Junmen Village, Li Qing seemed to be their guide, along the way, Li Qing enthusiastically pointed out the mountains and rivers along the way for the two, Talk about the history of struggle in Chong County.At that time, more than a thousand remnants of Li Qing's defeated generals entered Chong County. The situation was extremely bleak. At that time, no one would have imagined that in five or six years, Li Qing started his business in Chong County and conquered such a huge country.

As Li Qing's Longxing place, Chong County has naturally been under the unanimous care of Dingzhou all along. In terms of policies and resources, it has all been favored here, making Chong County, which was originally a remote county, now It has become a bright pearl under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou. In addition, Chong County itself has such mineral deposits as coal, as well as Jijize Military Academy to stimulate the local economy. .

The people of Chong County are not only rich, but as long as they go out and say that they are from Chong County, other people will see them differently. Countless, now, as long as the first batch of Chongxian children who joined Li Qing's army survived, they have basically become officers. Down to the most basic school lieutenants, it can be said that they are all over the army.And the households of the people in Chong County are almost all members of the military, either active duty or martyrs.

And Chong County is now the place that civil servants in Dingzhou yearn for the most. Whenever you are transferred to Chong County as an official, it basically means that you will be promoted. Up to now, Chong County has had three counties. Ling, Xu Yunfeng, Jiewei, Long Xiaotian, and the three of them have now been officials to Zhizhou, Xu Yunfeng knows Fuzhou, Jiewei knows Bingzhou, Long Xiaotian knows Quanzhou.Besides, there is no risk in being an official here. You need money and people, and the only thing you need to do is to work hard and be diligent. Of course, there is no room for you to develop if you want to be a corrupt official here. As for the soil, maybe there is a son of a general in that seemingly inconspicuous farmer's family, who can go straight to the sky to listen, and sue you casually, and you will be overwhelmed.

Therefore, in the land of Chongxian County, the officials have truly served the people and become public servants of the people.Tired is a bit tiring, but I am so steadfast and willing to work hard. I don’t have to worry about my superiors not knowing. Maybe the family will go to Dingzhou to see relatives and tell me that our current county magistrate is really good, and we can be able to do it the next day. Pass it to the handsome man's ears.

So after Li Qing entered Chong County, he traveled all the way, and what he saw and heard can be said to be a peaceful and prosperous scene of never closing the door at night, not picking up lost things on the road, and a scene of singing and dancing.This amazed Li Wen and Li Gan who had just entered Chong County. You must know that most of the places under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou are still dilapidated, and they are working hard to restore them.Like Quanzhou where Li Wen visited, most of the common people still live in thatched huts, relying on government relief to get through this spring famine!Long Xiaotian Zhizhou was as busy as his third grandson all day long, it would be considered good if he could stay in the government office for one day out of ten days, and the daily official documents were sent to him by flying horses from his subordinates.It wasn't until the end of the spring plowing that Long Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, but he lost a lot of weight. His dark and thin face made his old man Long Sihai feel so distressed that he shed tears.

As for the road in Chong County, there are all green bricks and big tiled houses, and yards that enter and exit frequently. In Li Wen's opinion, even in the economically developed Yizhou, if there is such a house, it can be regarded as a house. The landlord of the gentry, the home of the wealthy merchants.

"When we first gained a foothold in Chong County, Chong County, which was devastated by the barbarians, was so barren that we could not see a single family even if we walked for tens of miles!" Li Qing sighed: "In order to increase the number of people, we did not I have tried my best, cheated and abducted, and I have exhausted all methods. Times have changed, and now it is difficult to get a household in Chongxian. Last time, the current magistrate of Chongxian County, You Xuzhi, made a special note, saying that people from Chongxian moved to Chongxian Too many have made the land in Chongxian unusable, so we plan to adopt a review system, and only those who pass the review are eligible to become citizens of Chongxian County!" Li Qing laughed, and You Xuzhi also agreed. Interestingly, the method he came up with is similar to those developed countries in his previous life. You can come to my place if you want, how much money can you bring!This person is talented, Li Qing thought in his heart, he could come up with such a tune.

"Chong County is the place where the Commander-in-Chief prospers. Of course, the common people want to move to Chong County to enjoy the blessing of the Commander!" Li Wen laughed.

"What a blessing!" Li Qing shook his head and said, "Li Wen, I don't know how many soldiers I have sacrificed to get to where I am today. Let's not forget this truth. , we must treat our people well. The hearts of the people are like water, they can carry a boat, and they can also overturn it. Look at the hundreds of people in Chongxian County. Back then, the only male in the family took up arms and went to the battlefield for me. Even cigarettes have been cut off. After a hundred years, there will be no one who burns incense and paper. Now, they are working tirelessly to farm, do business, pay taxes for us, provide for our food, clothing, housing and transportation, and support our hundreds of thousands of troops. People, that is really the most respectable and lovable person!"

"What the commander taught is that Li Wen must always remember it in his heart!" Li Wen said.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, while walking forward slowly. Not long after the spring plowing, some fields on both sides of the road have just sown seeds, and some have just sprouted a little bit, and there is a slight smell of soil in the air. fishy smell.

"There's not enough rain this spring!" Li Qing frowned slightly. "The so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil. I don't know when it will rain, and it will soak the ground and moisten the seeds well!"

Li Gandao: "Marshal, last year the snow was very heavy, and the field didn't seem to be dry. Besides, the weather is cloudy these days, maybe it will rain sometime!"

"That's great!" Li Qing said with a smile. "I'm going back to Chong County this time. It would be great if there is a spring rain. This is my blessed land!"

"The commander-in-chief keeps his word. If it rains, it will definitely rain!" Li Gan said with a smile.

Li Qing laughed loudly, "You bastard is not good at flattering. Rain is God's business. In the eyes of God, I, Li Qing, are like an ant. If you dare to say it rains, it will rain!"

"Marshal, dare not dare to flatter. Marshal doesn't like flattery either. I'm afraid I'll accidentally pat a horse's hoof. I'm telling the truth. Marshal will be the one who wants to sit in that seat in the future. Can he sit in that seat? The people in the seat are all real dragon reincarnations, of course, if there is rain, then there will be rain!" The three people present are all members of the Li clan, so Li Gan has no scruples about speaking, Li wants to take the seat of the Great Chu Emperor, Now the hearts of every Li family member are eager!
Li Qing laughed, but did not refute.Kings and generals, would you rather be kind?However, Li Qing didn't believe that the power of the king was bestowed by heaven. The power of the king was created with the barrel of a gun. Whoever had the biggest fist would naturally sit in that seat.

As he was talking, the wind suddenly blew up. Li Wen was extremely experienced. He walked against the wind for a while, but with a strange look on his face, he looked at Li Qing and said, "Master, you just said it was going to rain, maybe now It's really going to rain!"

"Ah, can't it be such a coincidence?" Li Qing said.

Li Wen sniffed against the wind, "It's really going to rain! Commander!"

Li Gan cheered and said: "Commander, Commander, let me speak. You are the reincarnation of a real dragon. If you say it will rain, it will rain! Isn't it here?"

Li Qing shrugged, it was just a coincidence, but he didn't bother to say anything, anyway, wouldn't it be better for them to believe this kind of thing! "I'm worried now, what will we do when it rains? Have you two brought rain gear?"

Li Qing stunned the two of them with one sentence. They are both military generals, and they are used to braving the wind and rain. How can they prepare these things when they go out?

"It's broken, Marshal, it's still far away from Chong County, what should we do?" Li Wen said.

"What should I do? Hurry up!" Li Qing said, "Try to find a place to shelter from the rain before it starts to rain!" Laughing, he tapped on the horse's belly, and the horse swung its hooves, and rushed out like an arrow.

No matter how fast the war horse ran, it was not as fast as the rain. The three of them hadn't run two miles before the rain started, and it became heavier and heavier. After a while, the three of them became drowned.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing simply slowed down the speed of the horse. The rain was too heavy. If a galloping horse accidentally stumbled, it would be a big embarrassment. Anyway, it was already wet, so let him drench it until it was washed. Take a shower!Seeing that Li Qing was actually walking in the rain, Li Wen and Li Gan could only accompany Li Qing and take a stroll.

"Marshal, look quickly, there is a pavilion in front, we can go there to shelter from the rain first!" Li Gan shouted suddenly.

The three hurriedly rode forward, and sure enough, not far ahead, there was an octagonal pavilion standing by the side of the road. The three got off their horses, threw the horse outside, and strode towards the pavilion.The three horses are all well-trained war horses, and they are quite spiritual, so there is no need to worry about them running away.

The three of them had just walked into the pavilion, and when they looked up, they couldn't help being stunned. There was already a person in the pavilion, who was also a drowned chicken like them, but different from them, this was a woman.Seeing the three big men entering the pavilion, the woman was obviously a little scared and shrank back to a corner.

The three of them didn't take it seriously, they walked into the pavilion and sat down.After wiping the water stains on his face, Li Gan even took off his shirt, and squeezed water vigorously in the pavilion, showing his eight-pack muscles.It didn't matter that Li Gan took off his clothes, the knife hidden next to his body was exposed, and the woman at the corner of the pavilion was obviously even more frightened.Standing up abruptly, he strode outside.

"This girl!" Li Qing, who had just wiped off the water on his face, couldn't help shouting when he saw that this woman was about to rush out in the rain.

The woman paused, obviously extremely frightened, "My lord, what is the matter calling the slave's house?" The woman lowered her head and said with a trembling voice.

Li Qingdao: "Why are you hurrying in such a heavy rain! Don't worry, we are all good people, and we are visiting Chong County. You can stay here and wait for the rain to stop before you hurry!"

At this time, Li Wen also realized that three big men and a woman were staying together, which indeed made the woman a little scared. Seeing that Li Gan was still there with his bare arms squeezing his clothes vigorously, he couldn't help scolding: "Li Gan, wear Put on your clothes, you don't look good, didn't you see... is the young master still wearing wet clothes?"

The woman was a little hesitant, looking at the rain that was falling harder and harder outside, and then looked at the three people in the pavilion. The man sitting with the big horse and golden knife looked kind-hearted, not like a bad guy, and the other two seemed to be his followers.After hesitating for a while, he finally walked back to a corner and sat down with his arms around his shoulders.
