Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 311 Returning Home
Hearing Huang Laifu's words, Liu Bingbei couldn't help showing color on his face. The development of Ningwu Dao in the past few years, the inspections of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials have been excellent every year, and nothing unexpected happened. He served as the governor of Shanxi Town.

He suppressed his complacency, stood up and thanked him: "This is all due to the governor's foresight and planning, and he dared not take credit for his humble position."

Huang Laifu smiled and said: "Oh, this is Liu Bingbei's credit to you. Everyone in Shanxi Town understands, so you don't have to be humble. When Ningwu Dao develops better in the future, maybe the entire Shanxi Town will implement your successful experience in Dao. "

If Huang Laifu back then could only encourage Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei to plan other things in Ningwu Road, now he already has the power and ability to plan the entire Shanxi Town.

Liu Bingbei was even more happy, and said with a smile on his face: "It all depends on the cultivation of adults!"

He was delighted that if Ning Wu Dao's experience was extended to the entire Shanxi Town, he would naturally be a part of it when Shanxi Town developed in the future.Besides, he has obtained countless benefits in private over the years of running Ningwu Dao, both public and private, which naturally made him happy.

Everyone talked for a while, Huang Laifu asked them to disperse, and went back to the back hall to rest.

In the evening, Huang Laifu attended the dinner held by Governor Yang for him again, and went back drunk all the time.

……

Huang Laifu stayed in Ningwuguan for a few days to deal with some government affairs accumulated after he left.But now Huang Laifu has relaxed a lot. When he was in the capital, as soon as the news of Huang Laifu's governor's military rations in the two towns of Datong, Shanxi spread, many literati came to join him.

Among these literati, they are no longer just the little literati who had no ambitions in the past, and even some famous literati have begun to take refuge in them as aides.Although Huang Laifu is still a warrior, in the eyes of many people, he has begun to be an object worth taking refuge in and betting on.

When he was in the capital, with the consent of Emperor Wanli, Huang Laifu had already decided to set up the governor's mansion in Wuzhai Fort. Therefore, it was inevitable to relocate the original framework of the general's mansion to Wuzhai Fort.

On the second day of July in the 27th year of Wanli, Huang Laifu got up and went to Wuzhai Fort with his army and a group of staff.

The number of people traveling to Wuzhai Fort this time is huge, because in addition to the thousands of soldiers from the Laifu Camp and Wuzhai Camp, there are also two thousand members of the Laifu Camp who were stationed at Ningwu Pass. Past.

Although the Ming Dynasty had very strict control over the mobilization of local troops at that time, even if it wanted to mobilize hundreds of troops, it needed the approval of the Ministry of War and even the emperor.

But as early as when he was in the capital, Huang Laifu mentioned this matter with Emperor Wanli.Now that the Governor's Mansion has been decided to be located in Wuzhai Fort, the original Laifu camp servants will naturally follow Huang Laifu, which was also the custom at the time.

At present, the defense of Ningwu Town has 2000 Ningwu Battalion pacesetters led by General Liu Quanli. They used to protect the safety of the coal mines in various places in Ningwu. There is no need to send special sergeants to guard it.They can already return to the town to continue their defense.

In addition to Liu Quanli, there is also a battalion of pacesetters led by Governor Yang Fanglue for the town defense.As for the rest of the guard camp soldiers inside and outside the town, they have already become self-sufficient field soldiers and miners.

But even if there are only these two battalions, the security of Ningwu Town is not a problem at all. After all, Ningwu Pass is deep in the heart of Shanxi Town, and there are Old Camp Fort and Wuzhai Fort outside. According to the soldiers and horses who invaded Shanxi Town from the Central Plains, the two forts are impregnable.

When Huang Laifu was leaving that day, Eunuch Ma Jiuying, Governor Yang and others came to see him off. Of course Eunuch Ma Jiuying was sincere, but Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei were relieved. It was great that Huang Laifu was finally leaving.

These days, the two of them always have a kind of embarrassment and pressure, entangled with themselves from time to time, this feeling of being suppressed by warriors is really bad.Although Huang Laifu will still be their immediate boss in Wuzhaibao, it is a blessing among misfortunes that the days of seeing each other without looking up are over.

After learning that Mr. Huang Laifu and the soldiers of the Laifu camp were about to withdraw, many Ningwu people who heard the news came to see them off one after another. Finally, there were huge crowds of people on both sides of the street and at the gate of the city to see them off.

Huang Laifu has been in Ningwuguan for several years, guarding the local security, and since then there is no danger of barbarian invaders on the grassland.Moreover, it also allowed the local military households to live a good life. This kind of good life was unimaginable before.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Laifu camp stationed in the town under his command are mighty and majestic, but they never harass the people inside and outside the city. For various reasons, everyone deeply supports them.

Now that Huang Laifu and others are leaving, it is natural that everyone is very reluctant.Many people sighed, the atmosphere of Ningwu Pass is still not as good as Wuzhai Fort after all, Master Huang Laifu still wants to go back after all.

Amid the explosion of firecrackers and the farewell of everyone, Huang Laifu led the army out of the gate of the city. After leaving Ningwu City, he looked back through the layers of banners and saw the city guarded by Huagai Mountain in the distance. The pier is still towering.

He also felt emotional in his heart. After staying in this "Phoenix City" for a few years, he still has a lot of affection for the place. Now that he wants to leave, he is naturally a little bit reluctant, but... Suddenly Huang Laifu whipped his whip and shouted loudly , Instigated the horse to go, and the army behind him also rolled away.

Seeing the figure of this torrent of steel disappear far into the sky, Governor Yang and Liu Bingbei looked at each other, both heaving a sigh of relief, this Huang Laifu is finally gone, it's good to go, it's good to go!
……

From Ningwuguan to Wuzhai Fort, the road is much easier because of the construction of cement roads along the way.Along the way, the density of pedestrians and merchants on the road is obviously higher than that of many places in Daming.

The concrete road is smooth and clean, without dust. The carriages, horses and pedestrians walking on it look much calmer. Many businessmen are full of praise. They travel all over the country, and this section of the road is the best.

Now there are toll stations on the road from Ningwuguan to Wuzhaibao. Taxes, tolls, road maintenance fees, etc. are collected from passing vehicles. The collected fees are used for road maintenance every year.

Therefore, although the cement road from Wuzhaibao to Ningwuguan has been repaired for many years, due to proper maintenance, the road is still very smooth.Seeing this successful experience, many places in Shanxi Town have formed a wave of thinking about building cement roads.

Huang Laifu's plan is to build concrete roads on all the official roads in Shanxi Town in the future, but this requires a huge amount of money, and it cannot be completed in a day or two.

Seeing Huang Laifu's army flag and guard of honor rolling towards the front, the pedestrians on the road stood aside from a distance, and at the same time watched the army go away with reverent eyes, leaving behind a lot of discussion.

Huang Laifu has been in Shanxi Town for ten years, and has already left a very high reputation and prestige in the area around Wuzhai Fort.

At noon on the third day of July, Huang Laifu entered Wuzhai Fort after passing through Shenchi Fort.

The current Shenchi Fort has become a famous cement, coal and iron production base in Shanxi Town. There are various factories and workshops inside and outside the fort. There are all kinds of accents, forming an area like the industrial area of ​​later generations.

Within a ten-mile radius, everything is prosperous. The only downside is industrial pollution. Even the sky around Shenchi Castle is gray.

Tian Dafu, the husband of Huang Laifu's third brother-in-law in the fort, is extremely rich because of this Shenchi Fort, and he has no other ideas, but hopes to guard this Shenchi Fort for a long time.

Tian Dafu had already learned about Huang Laifu's military rations in the two towns of Datong, Shanxi, and was counting the days when Huang Laifu would return every day.

This day Huang Laifu finally passed by Shenchi Castle, he couldn't help but say that he wanted to drag Huang Laifu to have a good feast in the castle, and his expression and words were extremely eager.I just hope that Huang Laifu can take more care of his third brother-in-law, so that he can stay in Shenchi Castle in the future.

For the sake of the third sister Huang Birou, Huang Laifu would naturally help him.The two drank freely during the banquet, and Huang Laifu talked about his experience in North Korea, which made Tian Dafu deeply moved.

……

The army entered the territory of Wuzhai Fort after passing through the concrete road from Shenchi Fort to Wuzhai Fort.The sky immediately became much cleaner, and the mountains and rivers became more beautiful. Huang Laifu positioned Wuzhaibao as a land of agriculture and commerce. He wanted to control the environmental pollution as much as possible.

Ten years later, Wuzhaibao has clearly become the richest man in northwestern Shanxi. Most of the people you see on the road are neatly dressed, ruddy, and energetic.The wide, clean and solid cement roads are dotted with small castle-like farms, and there are new tile-roofed houses everywhere.

The mountains and hills that can be seen are covered with green trees, and the fields of each farm are endless, and the fields are full of dense deep water wells.Along each river, there are densely packed large waterwheels, which continuously pour the river water into the canals.Form a unique and pleasing scene.

The closer it is to Wuzhaibao City, the busier it is. On both sides of the road, there are obviously more factories and shops, pedestrians are dense, and various carriages are driving to and fro.

Now there are public carriages between the various farms, and there are public carriages between each farm and Wuzhaibao City, and sometimes there are several times a day, which greatly facilitates everyone's travel.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, rich and full of vitality everywhere!Anyone who came to Wuzhaibao for the first time would think that it was a town in the south of the Yangtze River, but would not think that it was just a poor military fort in Northwest Shanxi.

Naturally, the officers and men of the Wuzhai Camp and the Laifu Camp turned a blind eye to this situation, but among those Huang Laifu staff members who had just come from the capital and other places, all of them were inevitably stunned and sighed in disbelief. Poverty, it seems that the rumors are not true.

Of course, someone soon said: "This is all thanks to the Crown Prince Taibao. The former Wuzhai Fort was a poor place. If it weren't for the hard work of the Crown Prince Taibao, Wuzhai Fort used to be a place where every They are all military households fleeing in large numbers, how can it be like now, people pouring in from all over every day, just hoping to live a good life like the people in Wuzhai?"

After hearing this, everyone sighed: "The prince and the Taibao are so talented, I can't wait."
