Borrow the day to change the day

"Stop!" A shout rang out from the crowd of onlookers.

The official and the onlookers followed the sound and found that it was Zhong Cheng who had arrived.

The official hurriedly came over to pay respects, and explained with a smile on his face, "Zhong Cheng, this is the usual practice."

"Practice? Ben Zhongcheng's subordinates are not allowed to have such a practice." Lu Xiangsheng scowled loudly with a sullen face.

He saw that the official's face was extremely ugly, and the other onlookers also looked at him in astonishment.It seems that Lu Xiangsheng stopped this kind of extortion and sucking the blood and sweat of the people, which made them feel very strange.

Lu Xiangsheng understands that old habits are hard to change for a while, and this official can't beat him to death with a stick.

Lu Xiangsheng explained to the official: "I don't care what happened in the past. However, after the imperial court increases the salary of officials, and after retiring from old age and returning home with clean money, I will never allow them to use such means to squeeze the blood and sweat of the people. Forget it this time, remember, there will be no next time!"

The official lowered his head and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

Lu Xiangsheng raised his head and glanced at the surrounding people, then looked at the excited grain merchant behind the official and said, "In the future, if you encounter such a thing, you can report it to the local reporting office set up by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Call the shots for you."

The grain merchant had planned for these losses long before he came here, but he didn't expect to save these losses under the intervention of the governor of Denglai. He was really overjoyed.

When he was in Jianghuai, he also heard about the changes that Lu Xiangsheng just mentioned, but Jianghuai seemed to implement them very slowly.So he didn't take it seriously when he heard it, and he didn't expect to implement it seriously in Denglai.

In this way, grain merchants can save a lot of costs, and the corresponding profits will be greatly increased.Excited, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xiangsheng.

What he didn't expect was that there were still benefits.Lu Xiangsheng asked Lu Da to give him the letter and asked him to hand it to Zhang Tongchang.

The grain merchant was a shrewd man, he understood the benefits this letter would bring him in the blink of an eye, and he was immediately overjoyed.While being grateful to Lu Xiangsheng, he is also proud of his decision to transport food No.1.This crab is hard to eat!

After Lu Xiangsheng finished handling these matters and inspected the grain ship, he stopped staying and left Lu Da at the scene, and went back to the government office by himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Xiangsheng came back, before he sat down, there was an urgent report from Pi Dao.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he thought that Jianlu was going to attack Phi Island, but Jianlu had no navy, so he had to wait for the winter to freeze.I didn't want to understand it for a while, so I had to meet the messenger first.

"Reporting to Zhongcheng, there is a change in North Korea." The messenger turned out to be Liu Xingzhi. As soon as he entered the lobby, he knelt on one knee and reported.

After he finished speaking, he took out an urgent report written by Chen Jisheng from his pocket, and handed it over to Zhong Cheng by Lu Xiangsheng's personal guard.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not Jianlu who attacked Phi Island.

But immediately he guessed again, could it be that North Korea dispatched a navy to attack Phi Island?Or is Jianlu and North Korea united, Jianlu contributes combat power, North Korea sends ships, and attacks Phi Island in this way?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel tense, and while telling Liu Xingzhi to get up and talk, he read the emergency newspaper first.

After reading it, Lu Xiangsheng felt relieved. It turned out that he was worrying too much.

While holding the urgent report in his hands, he asked Liu Xingzhi, "Is it true?"

The reason why Liu Xingzhi ran over in person was to explain to Lu Xiangsheng face to face.

He clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Zhong Cheng. The general and Vice President Chen interrogated several North Koreans who had fled to Phi Island, and they all said the same thing."

"Jianlu is really short-sighted. This kind of oppression of North Korea really gave Daming a chance." Lu Xiangsheng immediately became excited, and commented to Liu Xingzhi.

"What Zhongcheng said is very true." Liu Xingzhi echoed Lu Xiangsheng with a smile.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and asked Liu Xingzhi, "In your opinion, how long will North Korea endure being oppressed by the Jian captives?"

When Liu Xingzhi heard this, it was difficult to answer this question.He thought for a while before replying cautiously: "Zhongcheng, the top and bottom of North Korea are incompetent. As long as those officials don't harm themselves, they will control the lives of the people. If the establishment of captives does not harm their interests, I am afraid that they will continue to endure it." go down."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded after listening, but did not speak, obviously thinking about something.

After a while, he said to Liu Xingzhi again: "Actually, it can also be seen from this matter that the Marquis of Zhongxing's inspection of Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou has triggered a linkage reaction. Jianlu is short of food and cannot get supplements from Shanxi merchants." , I had no choice but to start with North Korea. If we increase the food consumption of Jianlu, I believe there will be more fun to watch, and I, Ming, can also benefit from it. Liu Xingzhi."

"The end is here." Liu Xingzhi heard that Lu Xiangsheng had made a decision, so he quickly clasped his fists and waited for orders.

"Go back immediately, and discuss with Vice President Chen, send people into North Korea to investigate the movements of the Jiankui and North Korea, and report back if there is any situation." Lu Xiangsheng ordered.

"The general will follow orders." Liu Xingzhi accepted orders loudly.

Lu Xiangsheng then added: "Phi Island is well prepared before the battle, and it must be ready to attack at any time. The opportunity is fleeting, understand?"

"I will understand at the end."

"Okay, you go back to Phi Island immediately, and do what I asked you to do. I will also go to Phi Island within a few days to inspect the combat readiness."

After Lu Xiangsheng finished his order, he watched Liu Xingzhi leave in a hurry, and couldn't contain the joy brought by the news in his heart, so he paced back and forth in the lobby.

Suddenly, Lu Xiangsheng stopped and asked the guards to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study.He will give a memorial to the court, stating all this, and attaching his own estimates and suggestions.If possible, it would be best for Guan Ning to make more noise so that Jianlu can consume more food.Coupled with the fact that there will be some movement on his side, Jianlu's life will be even more difficult.

What Lu Xiangsheng did not expect was that Yan Yingyuan returned to Denglai with the imperial envoy the day after the letter was sent out.

The imperial decree conveyed by the imperial envoy was for Lu Xiangsheng to launch an offensive to support the battle in Jinzhou.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately received the order and began to prepare.The current situation is exactly what he expected in yesterday's memorial.

He ordered the generals of the islands to send troops to harass and fight against Jianlu. If the enemy is weak, they will be destroyed, and if the enemy is strong, they will not love to fight.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng was not limited to harassment. He planned to take the pacesetter battalion and [-] Guanning iron cavalry to Phi Island, looking for fighter planes in North Korea, and prepared to fight a big one.Pain the Jianlu in North Korea, and at the same time show North Korea that Ming is still very strong.

Although Yan Yingyuan received a reply from Zhong Jinwei that the imperial court was about to build a large number of ships and gave priority to deploying the Denglai Navy.But at present, he still has too few ships to transport so many soldiers and horses to Phi Island.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to order the requisition of civilian ships to be used by Yan Yingyuan.

After two days of preparation, a large fleet headed for Phi Island mightily.
