Horse on the World

Chapter 772

It is already very cold in Dingzhou in December. Although there is no heavy snowfall yet, snow seeds will fall every now and then. When you wake up in the morning, you can see fine ice under the eaves. The ribs hang there, crystal clear, really beautiful.People who go out are already wrapped in thick fur. In the Central Plains, fur is still very expensive clothing, but Dingzhou is close to the grassland, and there is a fur center like Shanglinli.The price will be much cheaper.In addition, over the years, Dingzhou has implemented administration, and the people have money in their pockets. It is not difficult to buy such a fur against the cold. Of course, these furs are also relatively ordinary fur goods.On the contrary, things like padded jackets, because they are filled with cotton, and cotton has not been popularized on a large scale in Dingzhou, the price is rather higher, and only rich people will buy it.
The profit of cotton is extremely high, but in today's Dingzhou, it has not spread out, mainly because the Central Plains has imposed an economic blockade on Dingzhou, and the food is in short supply. Basically, all the land is used to grow food. Crops like cotton are still Only limited to small-scale cultivation in a few places.
Although the weather is cold, Dingzhou is now in full swing, a bustling scene. Although there is still some time before the New Year, there is a festive atmosphere in and outside the city, not for anything else, just for Dingzhou State Marshal Li Qing is about to get married.

For the sudden addition of an emperor on their heads, the ordinary people of Shengdou were surprised for a few days, and they had a few more conversations after dinner, but they also took it easy. Anyway, in everyone's heart, Marshal Li is the sky above their heads, this emperor , What did you do before?
Li Qing's prestige in Dingzhou is unparalleled. This is not only because he has defeated the barbarians since he came to power, and eliminated the border troubles that Dingzhou people have suffered for hundreds of years, but also what Li Qing has implemented. The New Deal has made the common people truly richer. Compared with a few years ago, Dingzhou today is like heaven and earth, which is completely different.
With money in his pocket, and schools all over Dingzhou, the luxury of studying in the past has become the norm. One of the new policies in Dingzhou is that if school-age children do not go to school, they will hold their parents accountable Responsibility, study, in Dingzhou, is free of money now.
The common people support Li Qing, and a large number of merchants also support Li Qing from the bottom of their hearts. After Li Qing came to power, the status of merchants has been greatly improved. Characters can even exert a great influence on the policies formulated by Dingzhou. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have never been short of money. What they lack is political status that matches their economic status. Now, all of this has become a thing of the past ．
Therefore, as long as Li Qing yelled, these businessmen were rich and powerful.The supply of bonds issued by Dingzhou has always been in short supply. Firstly, this is the reason why businessmen want to praise Li Qing. Not in arrears.
As for the soldiers, let alone, the military noon given to them by Li Qing is enough for an ordinary soldier to support a family, and once a soldier dies in battle, his immediate family members will never have to pay taxes again.
The officials are different from the ordinary people, what they value is Li Qing's brilliant future, once Li Qing succeeds, they will all be the heroes of the founding of the country, this credit alone is enough to let them shadow their children and grandchildren.And now, no matter how you look at it, the road in front of Li Qing is spacious, maybe there are still a few turns before the final goal, but this does not prevent the final destination.

After arriving in Dingzhou, King Zhou moved into the palace that Li Qing had already prepared for him, and the first imperial decree issued was to marry his daughter, Princess Yanran, to Li Qing as his concubine.

Now, Dingzhou is busy with Li Qing's wedding.
And Li Qing himself was also very busy, but he was not for his own wedding, but for the swap between Yang Yidao's Central Group Army and Lu Dalin Group.To Li Qing, a big wedding is nothing more than putting on an auspicious costume and going out on stage on that day.

The mobilization of two group armies, involving at least tens of thousands of soldiers, is a huge project, and it cannot arouse the vigilance of the outside world. These days, a large number of soldiers leave Dingzhou City every day, and there are batches of soldiers. The troops were transferred back, making people dazzled.
On the surface, the situation in Youyan suddenly became tense. The Xiao family of Youyan suddenly increased the number of troops in the Xiangshan Mansion, and the two armies of the Xiangshan Mansion faced off.And Yang Yidao's Central Group Army sent a large number of troops to Youyan to reinforce Lu Dalin's group.In fact, when Dingzhou transferred troops under Yang Yidao's jurisdiction, it secretly transferred back one by one under Lu Dalin's troops, and then quietly went northward to the Weizhou battlefield.

After all, Yang Yidao's central group army is a new army that has just been formed. If it is suddenly thrown into the Weizhou battlefield, Li Qing is really worried. In Weizhou, he will fight a blitzkrieg to destroy the Lu Fengchun, Zeng Yifan's main force, after completely controlling Weizhou, quickly ignited the war to Liaoshun and Shenzhou.However, most of Lu Dalin's troops are cavalry, and they are veteran troops who have experienced many battles. With their reinforcements in Weizhou, I believe that the battle of Weizhou will soon be victorious. Moreover, Li Qing has decided that he will go there Weizhou personally commanded the war.
A few years ago, he sank his halberd into the sand in Liaoshun, and tens of thousands of soldiers buried their bones in the Tuojiang River. This time, no matter what, Li Qing will personally go to fetch back the bones of the soldiers buried there.
After finally processing the mountains of documents on the case, Li Qing stood up, rubbed his wrists, stretched his waist, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was even easier to wield knives and guns than to deal with official documents, at least it didn't take so much effort.But the days before are getting farther and farther away from me. In the days to come, I am afraid that most of my time will be wasted in copywriting.
The door was pushed open, and Bao'er jumped in with a lot of clothes. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the study.
"Bao'er, have you switched to selling clothes?" Seeing Bao'er's face flushed by the cold wind, Li Qing joked.

"Still talking!" Bao'er reproached and said, "Tomorrow is your wedding day, Marshal, so you don't try on the auspicious clothes to see if they fit. If they don't fit, something big will happen tomorrow. Hurry up, come and try it out, if it doesn't fit, you have to change it quickly!"

While talking, he hurriedly shook off the big red wedding dress in his hand, and put it on Li Qing.

Opening his arms, letting Bao'er play with them, looking at the beaming face, Li Qing asked: "Bao'er, are you happy?"

Bao'er smoothed the clothes carefully, then buttoned up Li Qing, and said with a smile, "Sir, you are married, Bao'er must be happy! Why do you ask such a question, Commander?"
"Aren't you jealous?" Li Qing couldn't help reaching out and pinching Bao'er's face.

Bao'er's face turned even redder all of a sudden, she raised her eyes to look at Li Qing, and said, "Commander, who is Bao'er? You are a blessing, so don't dare to think about anything. Only a lady from a famous family like Princess Yanran is worthy of you, handsome!"
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it has been more than a year since he entered the Marshal's Mansion, but Bao'er still maintains that innocence in this big dye vat.People can't help feeling sorry for them.

"Is your parents doing well in Dingzhou?" Li Qing asked, "I will invite them to the mansion when I have time in the future, and I will have a meal with them!"
Bao'er smiled and said: "When I first came here, I was very excited, but after a long time, I got used to it. My mother hoed all the flowers and plants in the yard, planted a lot of small vegetables, and harvested a lot this year. , there are pickled radishes sent by my mother in Baoer's place!"
Li Qing laughed loudly, "Give me some of the salted radish tonight."

"If the commander-in-chief likes it, I will ask my mother to bring some more!" Bao'er said happily, "If the mother knows that the commander-in-chief also ate his salted radish, she will be happy!"

"What is your father doing?"

Hearing Li Qing mentioned his father, Bao'er couldn't help laughing, "After staying in the house for a few days, I couldn't sit still, and went to the street to do some work. I said that I was sore from playing for a few days. Do some work and earn a little money, but the commander-in-chief also knows that General Tie has sent personal guards at home, and there are personal guards to follow, the one who dares to hire his father to do work, goes out every day, runs for nothing every day, and sighs all day long, I haven’t been going out recently, I’m just emptying the place my mother tidied up at home.”
Hearing Bao'er's vivid description of Wu Siniang and his husband, Li Qing couldn't help laughing happily.

"I'm going to the north after a while, do you have anything to say to your brother?"
"The commander-in-chief is going to the north?" Bao'er opened her eyes wide, "I'm going to see my younger brother, I haven't seen him for a long time, commander-in-chief, can you take me with you when the time comes?"
Li Qing shook his head, "That's not acceptable. The army has rules and regulations, and it is not allowed to bring family members. As the commander, how can I take the lead in violating military discipline? Can you write letters? Your handwriting is very charming now. Let me Surprise your brother too!"

"That's okay!" Although Bao'er was a little disappointed, the disappointment was fleeting, and then he became happy again, "The commander-in-chief will go in person, and he will definitely defeat those bad guys soon. When the teacher comes back , I can see my brother."

In Bao'er's mind, Li Qing's opponents are naturally bad guys, and the bad guys will certainly not be able to beat the handsome.Thinking of seeing his long-lost younger brother in the near future, he happily held the crown and put it on for Li Qing.

Seeing Bao'er's heartfelt smile, Li Qing couldn't help pulling him into his arms, and kissed her hard on the face.Bao'er nestled in Li Qing's arms, half-closed her eyes blissfully, and let Li Qing feel careless for a while.For him, as long as Li Qing likes her, that's enough.
The two had been intimacy for a while, Bao'er suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Li Qing, and said, "Commander, Sister Jiyue is not very happy these days, I saw her shedding tears quietly! Commander, Sister Jiyue I've been with you for the longest time, can you go and comfort Sister Jiyue today!"
Li Qing couldn't help but froze.After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll go!"
