Chapter 20 Arriving in Liaodong

The long team moved on the land of Youyan. It took less than 20 days from Jizhou to Youzhou and from Youzhou to Liaodong. In addition to the longing for a better life, there is more trust in Li Zhong. In addition to expressing his gratitude in his heart, Li Zhong can only fulfill the promises he had given to them and in return for their trust.

Looking at the small county town called Wu County, which seemed a little prosperous in front of him, Li Zhong smiled happily. This is the first time he has smiled in 20 days.

In these 20 days, the number of exiles has increased, exceeding 400,000, 8 times the original, and the escorts selected from the exiles have also expanded from 1,000 to 20,000 now, 20 times more.

Li Zhong rode ahead, Lu Su, Ju Shu, and Guan Hai behind Li Zhong. After arriving outside Wu County, an old man came out of the county seat. Li Zhong looked at the old man, and his eyes were suddenly blurred. Crystal tears were spinning in his eyes. He got off the horse and trotted towards the old man, holding his arm and said, "Li Bo, you have worked hard all these years." The old man is Li Bo. Young master, what are you talking about? If there was no master at the beginning, my family would have starved to death, so the young master doesn't have to do this. This is what the old man should do," Li Bo said with a smile to Li Zhong.

What else does Li Zhong want to say? Li Bo said first: 'Let's take a rest in the city for a night. Tomorrow, the young master will report to the young master about what has happened these days.' Li Zhong glanced at Li Bo and nodded. Then he turned around and said to Guan Hai, "Boyong, go and ask everyone to go to the city. You have to watch them. Don't compete to enter the city. In addition, by the way, inform Lejin and Zhang Xi and others to tell them to work harder. When these people are arranged to go to rest, I will ask Zijing and Mr. Gong and Mr. Yu for help." Guan Haiying With a sound, he arched his hand and turned away. Li Bo looked at Guan Hai's back, his eyes lit up, and his wrinkled face had a smile.

Li Zhong called Lu Su and Ju Shu and said to them, "Zi Jing, Gong and Mr., thank you two to settle the people again. I don't know if you can still hold on?" "The lord looked down on me. Although we are literati, our bodies are not weak, so the lord can rest assured." Lu Su said. , and Ju Shu next to him also nodded. Li Zhong smiled and said, "In this case, it's troublesome for the two gentlemen." "The lord is polite. This is our business. If the lord has nothing else to do, we will go," Lu Su said. Li Zhong nodded, and then the two arched their hands to Li Zhong and turned around and walked away.

Li Zhong walked into the city with Li Bo's arm, followed by 10 tiger guards to protect Li Zhong's safety. Li Bo first refused to hold Li Zhong's arm, but under Li Zhong's firm eyes, he smiled helplessly, and it was up to Li Zhong.

Li Zhong then smiled at Li Bo and helped Li Bo walk towards the city.

After arriving at the government office in the city, Li Zhong let go of Li Bo, retreated Hu Wei, and asked, "Li Bo, what's the situation in Liaodong now?" Li Bo replied: "According to the young master, I began to recruit people from various places to Liaodong last year. Now I have recruited almost 500,000 people, and they have also returned one after another. Someone came, and these people who came have also been settled. Basically, every family has fields. In addition to the original more than 600,000 people in Liaodong and more than 400,000 people brought by the young master this time, now we have almost 1.6 million people in Liaodong. If these people are placed, it will be a step closer to the young master's ideals." At this point, Li Bo couldn't help laughing.

Li Zhong did not say anything, but waited for Li Bo to continue to say. Maybe he was old and in poor spirits. Li Bo took a sip of water and then continued: "Last year, the young master left Yan Liang and told us that we had almost done what we did. For almost a year, Yan Liang took the lead in pretending to be a rustic. Bandits killed more than 1,000 people from the stubborn and evil local family in Liaodong. Most of the servants of those families were released. Only those who pretended to be tigers and dogs were killed. Please rest assured." Looking at Li Zhong's nod, Li Bo continued: "Now the rest of these families are willing The young master is not hindered by any big family. Now the young master can rest assured to work in Liaodong. You don't have to worry about someone coming to hinder the young master. In addition, in the past year, we have bought 500,000 grains and grass from all over the world, which is enough for 100,000 people for 89 months, and the wind has spread all over the northern region, including Wu. Maru, Goguryeo. Li Boyang talked freely for half an hour.

After listening to this, Li Zhong was very happy and felt guilty about Li Bo. However, in fact, Li Zhong only came to this world at that time. Except for Li Bo, there was basically no one to trust. However, except Xiuer, when he thought of Xiuer, Li Zhong felt guilty and asked Li Bo, "Li Bo, is Xiuer?" "Oh," Li Bo sighed and said, "Xiu'er's girl shed tears all day after the young master left. She worried about the young master every day. After the master heard the news from the people, he asked his wife to persuade her. Later, she gradually got better, but I'm afraid the girl's miss for the young master has not decreased." Li Bo shook his head and sighed again.

After listening to Li Bo's words, Li Zhong was moved and couldn't wait to see Xiuer immediately, and then hugged her fiercely and gave her a kiss. However, these Li Zhong could only think to himself that Xiuer is sorry, and I will compensate you well in the future!

Thinking of this, Li Zhong stood up and walked to the desk and wrote, "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is far away in the dark. As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, he won countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, and a good period is like a dream. If the two love each other for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening!" Then he turned his head and said to Li Bo and said, "Li Bo, send this poem to Xiuer, so that she won't think about it all day long." Li Bo read the poem and said, "Is the young master really a literary star coming down to earth? The style of this poem is very different, but it is free, smooth, easy to understand, but it seems to be graceful and meaningful, especially the last two sentences, which sublimate the ideological realm of the words to a brand-new height. Is the young master really a great talent?" Li Bo sighed.

"Li Bo is flattered. I only study poetry occasionally when I have time. I can't praise Li Bo so much." Seeing what Li Bo wants to say, Li Zhong hurriedly said, "Li Bo, send someone to send this to Xiuer, and then you can also go to rest. Don't be too tired. I still want Li Bo in the future. Can you help me look after my children?" Li Zhong said sincerely to Li Bo. After listening to this, Li Bo burst into tears and said to Li Zhong, "Don't worry, the young master must live until the young master is born. At that time, the old man did nothing and helped the young master look at the young master. The old man's life is worth it."

Listening to Li Bo's words, Li Zhong said to Li Bo with some choking, "Don't worry, Li Bo, I will make this day come as soon as possible."

Li Bo looked at Li Zhong, then nodded to him and went out. His steps seemed to be a little staggering, which made Li Zhong feel very uncomfortable.

Looking at Li Bo's back, Li Zhong muttered, "Li Bo, don't worry, I will try my best to help you realize your wish."
