"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhao Yuqing smiled and said, "Is it because of money or not? Money is not a problem. You are the seventh-rank county magistrate and can live in the county government. If you don't like it, I will give you a house in Jiangyou."

The son-in-law is only half a son, and Zhao Yuqing only has one daughter, so he naturally thinks she is happy. The Zhao family is a business family with a wealthy family, so he naturally doesn't care about this little money. He knew that Lu Haoshan made a fortune when collecting Chen Gui's family wealth, but most of it was spent on the picket team. He thought Lu Haoshan was short of money. Of course, if he knew that Lu Haoshan secretly robbed the imperial court's official silver, it would be a different matter.

Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "No, how can the son-in-law ask for money from his father-in-law? Although his salary is meager, his family's wealth is not as rich as his father-in-law. Fortunately, he is not pedantic and has little savings, and he can still deal with it at present."

"Then what are you asking for?" Zhao Yuqing said in surprise when he was wrong.

"I want one person."

"Who?"

The two of them walked while talking. After they walked to a remote place and saw that there was no one, Lu Haoshan lowered his voice and said, "Child, a child."

Zhao Yuqing said with a puzzled look: "What kid, let it be clear."

Lu Haoshan whispered: "This child is called Li Dingguo. He is the adopted son of the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong. He is ten years old this year. This is the son of an old friend. The son-in-law doesn't want him to go astray and wants to get him back from Zhang Xianzhong. Now the court is surrounding him. It is very unsafe for the child to follow him. Father-in-law, you also know that the son-in-law can't leave recently. His men either cannot leave or lack ability. So he also wants to ask his father-in-law to help him find a solution."

It turned out to be the son of an old friend, which scared Zhao Yuqing away. He thought that Lu Haoshan had an illegitimate child outside. In this way, his daughter's status would be no longer guaranteed. Hearing that he was just a son of an old friend, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, Lu Haoshan was only in his early twenties, so how could he have a ten-year-old child?

"A small matter. I heard that the court encircled and suppressed these mobs in Qingjian, but I don't know how the encircled and suppressed them. Let's do this. I'll send Zhao army to go there. Zhang Xianzhong is also the leader of the mob. As long as he is given a little benefit, he will not be afraid that he will not agree. Zhao army is very experienced in this regard. Don't worry, your old friend's son will come back soon." Zhao Yuqing said confidently.

Although he didn't understand why his future son-in-law was so concerned about the son of an old friend, and how his old friend's son was in the mob, he even made the mob leader like him as his adopted son. Zhao Yuqing did not ask these questions. It was rare for the future son-in-law to speak up and satisfy him. It was not a big deal anyway.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Lu Haoshan said happily: "I thank my father-in-law."

"It's almost a family. Why do you say this? It's so obvious."

"Yes, my father-in-law taught me a very good lesson."

Seeing Lu Haoshan responding calmly and politely to himself. Zhao Yuqing felt a bit like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she felt. In fact, although Lu Haoshan had been in office for less than a year, he had demonstrated his ability: in the officialdom, he was at ease, not only defeating the stubborn people. He also made the atmosphere of Jiangyou County Government a new life. He was bold but not pedantic, and achieved both profit and reputation. He did not have any bad reputation, especially in the fireworks and willow alleys. This made Zhao Yuqing very satisfied. He had seen it in his studies and fundraising. Even his daughter was impressed by him. As for character, he was still dedicated to his old friend's son, so he was naturally a person who valued friendship.

This move was too correct. Although he was a little proactive, Zhang Yunhui was right. After passing this village, there would be no store.

"Son-in-law, there is one thing that I don't know if I should mention." After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yuqing suddenly said.

Lu Haoshan hurriedly said, "My father-in-law, please speak out if you have something to do, and the son-in-law listens with politeness."

"Opening the picket camp is a good move. It is too mysterious and may cause others to doubt it. It says that you are raising private soldiers and have a bad impact. However, since you are a picket team and serving the people of Jiangyou, at least in name, it is not your private soldiers, so it is naturally borne by Jiangyou. If you are pursuing silver, you probably have opinions, but you are pursuing some hay from the people, and these are still acceptable."

After a brief pause, Zhao Yuqing continued: "Hundreds of horses are very large in number. If everything costs money, it is very expensive. It is better to be self-reliant than to ask for others. Our rivers have many mountains and rivers, and there is a little insufficient arable land. However, it is not a problem to plant crops such as corn and alfalfa in those mountains, wastelands, streams and lakes, especially alfalfa. This is the best feed for horses, and it is easy to grow and live. Your team has a lot of free time. This kind of labor that does not cost money is not used in vain. Don't look at how much you can save in a while, but the decimals are afraid of long-term plans and accumulating more. Like our Zhao clan, there are many horses, but most of them can be self-sufficient. Otherwise, they will be eaten by these horses."

This is experience. Lu Haoshan was respectful when he heard this. He said that life should be based on one's own means and that one should be careful in his life. As expected, he was shocked by the dreamer. Lu Haoshan thought about where to buy cheap feed every day, but he didn't expect to grow it himself. Jiangyou has wasteland and plant some crops by himself. Who dares to say half a word "no". The cost of raising a horse can raise two to three soldiers. If you solve the problem of horse's forage by yourself, you can save thousands of taels of silver a year.

Besides, in the future, there will be more than 300 people.

"My father-in-law really woke up the dreamer with one word, so my son-in-law will do whatever he wants." Lu Haoshan said respectfully.

The boy is good at teaching. Zhao Yuqing looked at Lu Haoshan, then touched his beard and said, "If you have time, you can go to Zhao's house more often. Min'er also wants to... Cough cough, you can communicate with Jiuzhang Arithmetic. Min'er has been alone at home recently and is quite lonely."

Since he learned about the engagement, Zhao Min became nervous. Perhaps because he was afraid of the bad influence, he rarely showed up in public. He stayed at home to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and wanted to learn to cook for the first time. He seemed to have lost weight these days, which made Zhao Yuqing feel very distressed. He knew that his daughter wanted to see Lu Haoshan but did not dare to do the same as before, so he asked Lu Haoshan to walk around more.

"Son-in-law obeys the order." Lu Haoshan responded, and then reminded in a low voice: "My father-in-law, what happened to Li Dingguo..."

"Don't worry, I'll let Zhao Jun set off tomorrow." Zhao Yuqing said happily.

Lu Haoshan said seriously: "My father-in-law Xie, this son is very important to me. If necessary, he will take him down at any cost."

At any cost?

Zhao Yuqing was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded solemnly.

Lu Haoshan was still very relieved when his father-in-law had agreed. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw him agreeing. In his memory, Li Dingguo was a person who valued friendship. He had always followed his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong and never betrayed him. Even after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he also remembered Zhang Xianzhong's words and did not surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, but joined forces with the Southern Ming to fight against the Jin Dynasty. If he broke away from Zhang Xianzhong one day, the relationship between the two would be a little shallow.

It is said that three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Lu Haoshan finally realized that, just a child who is only ten years old must get it. Others are raised by loli, but they should be better off. They will have a plan to develop a famous general in the future.

The memorial service ended perfectly. Judging from the reaction, the conference was very successful. It not only increased the popularity of the picket team, eliminated the shadow left by the death of its companions in the hearts of the picket team members, but also improved their morale and loyalty. Especially when seeing the miserable life of those who were kicked out of the picket team, the team members cherished the days here even more. Young people were competitive. Besides, the elders at home also encouraged them. No matter how hard or tiring the training was, no one said anything.

Lu Haoshan was not satisfied with these achievements. On the second day after communicating with Zhao Yuqing, a new policy was immediately introduced, which was to stipulate how much area of ​​crops to be planted for horses in each township and localities. He also organized three yamen runners and picket teams to vigorously plant corn, alfalfa and other crops in his spare time, so as to try to solve the horse's forage problem as soon as possible.

After returning from the tea and horse transaction, Lu Haoshan can be said to be working tirelessly: handling the backlog of official duties, hearing postponed cases, proposing marriages, formulating plans to deal with the party without any mud, holding a mobilization meeting for memorials, ordering crops in various townships, etc., and they are so busy that they are dim and dark. Only on August 29th, they have a little free time.

There was nothing wrong today, it was not Susong Day, and no one came to visit. Lu Haoshan decided to go to Zhaojia Village to find Zhao Min.

As for the future wife, you naturally need to get closer and cultivate more feelings. Besides, Lu Haoshan is also very interested in Zhao Min's technology of raising pigeons. He is preparing to communicate with her and build a larger and more complete intelligence network. At that time, write it in passwords. If there is any trouble, you will use a carrier pigeon to transmit it. You will definitely take the lead in the Chaozhou end where information is lagging behind. Besides, Zhao Min is also his own person, and there is no problem with loyalty and is the best candidate for handling intelligence.

"The person who comes" said he went, and Lu Haoshan asked loudly.

"Sir." A yamen runner immediately stepped forward to obey the order.

"Take my official chasing wind, I want to go out." Lu Haoshan shouted.

Chasing the wind is a big gift from Shaerke Wanhu Chang Pubu before leaving. Lu Haoshan likes it very much and rides it everywhere he goes. When he thinks of riding his beloved horse to meet the girl he likes, Lu Haoshan couldn't help but smile happily.

The yamen runner immediately said respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Just when Lu Haoshan rode on the chasing Feng and was about to ride his horse, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance. Someone was whipping a whip and shouting for people to avoid it. This was riding a horse in the street market, but Lu Haoshan couldn't scold him because he heard that this was the voice of his brother Liu Jinzhu.

"Nee..." When the horse stopped in front of Lu Haoshan, Lu Haoshan couldn't help but teach a lesson: "Jinzhu, why did you ride a horse on the street? What if you hit someone?"

"Shan...Brother Shan, hurry up, Yuan San and others are making trouble for him." Liu Jinzhu said angrily.

Lu Haoshan was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What? Are you leaving?"

"Brother Shan, listen... I heard that General Yuan was executed by Ling Chi. As soon as the news came, Yuan Sanyi was so angry that his face turned red. He was clamoring to return to Beijing. Brother Shan, please stop him quickly." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
