Emperor Song Mo only found Lu Desheng's request for permission to move the governor's mansion to Houcheng annoying. The first time he suppressed it and ignored it. The second time, he was so angry that he issued a decree to reprimand him. But Lu Desheng was shameless.

He just didn't understand what it meant to be rejected, so he sent me the documents to Chang'an again and again, just for one thing, to move his government!

At this time, there was a flood in the south, and Song Mo was very annoyed.

Bad news spreads back to Chang'an every day.

The villages here were flooded.

The river embankment there was washed away.

The food was either washed away, soaked by water, or turned moldy. The people who were affected by the disaster were waiting for rescue and relief from the court. Some people who were affected by the disaster even revolted and robbed the local county government.

All kinds of bad news came one after another. The court was also arguing endlessly about disaster relief.

On this day, he received another document from Lu Desheng asking for permission to move the palace. When he saw the document, he said that if the emperor refused his request to move the palace again, he would really not move the palace, but at the same time he would also make a notice to the government.

The common people explained the reasons.

Song Mo's face turned green at that time, it was something this guy would do!

He gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and the music was played accurately.

At the same time, Song Mo gave him a harsh note.

Of course Song Mo knew what Lu Desheng said was right. He moved the county governor's mansion to Houcheng to calm the people.

As an emperor, he could also worry less.

However, moving the palace is troublesome. If he agrees, with Lu Desheng's character, he will definitely ask the court for money to move the palace. Now that the treasury is tight, there is no money to give Huo Huo. Therefore, he doesn't want to pay attention. The most important thing is not to

There will be no problem in moving the capital to Liaodong County, it's just that the people will have to live in fear for a while.

But the spies he arranged sent back a secret report that this guy had been killed first and then moved to the palace.

He was not surprised at all, Lu Desheng had always been bold and willful.

If it weren't for Lu Desheng's great achievements, he was worried that if he were killed, Liaodong would be in chaos, and he really wanted to kill him.

Liaoyang, Liaodong County

The little steward took the book and called the names:

"Chicken Village, after serving for one month, you can leave in the afternoon!"

"Qiaotou Village, after serving for a month, I will leave in the afternoon!"

…

The villagers in the village whose name was called were both happy and reluctant to leave. They were happy to go home, but they also felt reluctant to leave when they thought that they would no longer be able to drink the delicious soup provided by the government.

In the afternoon, countless men carried their luggage and walked home in small groups with their fellow villagers, chatting and laughing.

They walked on the official road that had been built, and at first glance, they felt very beautiful. They were proud that they had built such a spacious road.

"Building roads this time is easier than building rivers last year."

"Of course it's easy for us. The most tiring and arduous work is taken care of by bandits again."

"Dad, are you still fat?"

"I guess I'm not fat. I'm just not as tired and thin as in previous years. I feel like I've been squeezed dry after doing the corvee."

"Dad, go back and rest for two days, and then I will go to the town to find work." It was a young man who spoke.

This time, one month of service is one month. Unlike previous years, the period of corvee had to be extended before the work was completed, sometimes by one or two months. After completing the service, the whole person had to rest for a long time before he felt alive. This time he

I feel like I only need two days of rest to recover.

The old man also felt sorry for his son, "Don't worry about it. Your mother and second brother came to deliver dry food to us a few days ago. Didn't you tell me? The family bought a quota of cheap food. There are dozens of kilograms of food. Save it.

Eat it together with various vegetable leaves, and you can spend a long time."

The young man nodded, "Okay, I hope that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will still sell cheap grain in a while."

When others heard this, they thought to themselves, "Who wouldn't want that?"

"Everyone, cheer up, our days will get better and better."

"Yes, now that the cottages in our counties have been uprooted, we don't have to worry about being robbed when walking on the road, and we can sleep more peacefully at night. This year's crops are growing well, and it will be fine when the food matures.

Already."

"At least I'm looking forward to my life now, and I'm not as desperate as before."

"Master Lu is so kind. When he came, Xianbei stopped going south, and the bandits were also caught."

"Not only that, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was founded only after he came." Only then did they have cheap food to buy.

"It is said that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was specially approved by Mr. Lu."

"I heard that the cheap grains this time are only available in Houcheng, Liaoyang, Wangping, Wuyou, and Gaoxian counties. They are not sold in other counties."

"So, we must actively respond to the government's call in the future." Anyway, they just need to be obedient. Mr. Lu will not forget them.

Although they are all serving in road construction, their family members send them dry food every now and then and bring them various news.

There are so many people serving with them, no, they really have heard all kinds of news.

After Lu Desheng came to power, several things he did in the name of the government were closely related to people's livelihood, and the effects were immediate, and the people's feelings were most obvious.

The junction of Liaodong County and Liaoxi County

Zhou Congguang said, "Master, ahead is Liaodong County."

They are currently in Changli County. They went directly from Changli to Wulu County in Liaodong County.

At this time, Master Zhan's group of four people had turned into a group of six people.

The two extra people were picked up in Youzhou and Youbeiping counties respectively.

One was full of talent and was noticed by the chief secretary of Youzhou, who wanted to keep him as his clerical official.

The other one has run out of money. Fortunately, Youbeiping County is not far from Liaodong County, so he plans to walk there slowly.

Master Zhan heard about their experiences and invited them to go with him.

"We are finally arriving in Liaodong County!" Master Zhan sighed with emotion.

After all the hardships, the young disciple Cheng Yi, who was filial to his second sister, had a clear conscience. You must know that when they passed through Youzhou, they firmly refused the invitation of the Lord of Youzhou, Bo Dali, to stay.

.

When they came out from the foot of Yandang Mountain, they saw a road that was twice as wide as the official road they were taking now extending in front of them. On the side, a boundary monument was erected, with the words "Liaodong County" written on it.

On both sides of the official road, two rows of houses were built. In front of the houses there was a dam paved with large stones. Two large trees were left uncut in the dam area, and several bamboo and wooden chairs were placed under the trees.

A banner reading "Liaodong Wulu Tea Shop" was fluttering in the wind.

Seeing Master Zhan's carriage, Lu Wei came up to him with a smile and said, "Dear guests, do you need help? We can provide tea, simple meals, and help feed the horses..."

In the eyes of Master Zhan and others, although the person in front of him had a harmless face that made it difficult for people to be wary, he was too considerate and enthusiastic.

"Don't worry, everyone, our tea shop is a government franchise, not a shady shop." As he said that, Lu Wei took out a piece of paper and handed it to the leader Zhan Ruoshui.

Zhan Ruoshui carefully identified it, and found that the document was indeed a government franchise as he said, and there was also a large seal of the Liaodong County Sheriff's Office on the lower left.

While he was watching, Lu Wei said again, "If you still don't worry, there is a garrison of Liaodong County less than a kilometer away from here. If our store is a black shop, we don't dare to cause trouble in front of others."

Isn’t that right?”

This garrison is of course to guard against Liufu Village, which is separated by a mountain.

When Zhou Congguang and others heard this, they followed the direction he pointed and looked far into the distance. Indeed, they could vaguely see the figures of soldiers in the distance, as well as the shouts of generals training their soldiers.

They were relieved.

Master Zhan gave the horses to Lu Wei's people to feed.

As for them, they solved the three urgent needs of life here, washed themselves a little, ate some simple meals, and took a short rest.

During this period, Lu Wei chatted with them.

"Dear guests, are you planning to go to Houcheng?"

"How can I see it?"

"There have been a lot of guests coming to our Liaodong County recently, and you are not the first."

"Is your Liaodong County's official road newly built?"

"Yes, it was just repaired not long ago."

"Are the official roads in your entire Liaodong County so wide?"

"The government has this plan. Currently, it has only built this route connecting Wulu County, Liaoyang, Wangping, and Houcheng."

"To build it so wide, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources, right?"

"Fortunately, I believe that the adults above will make arrangements. At least when the official road from Wuyou County to Houcheng was built, the serving people had no complaints. If you don't believe it, you can

Look more and ask more.”

Master Zhan and others nodded and decided to ask along the way.

When they left, the other party only charged them a small amount of money.

Lu Wei said, "Guests, please go slowly. I hope you can have a pleasant trip in Liaodong County."

"Master, this Liaodong County is very different." As soon as we stepped into the territory of Liaodong County, the spacious official road alone was obviously different from other places.

They had passed through many places on this trip. Some places had simple folk customs, but there were also bad places. As the saying goes, poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people, and some people are really unreasonable.
