Chapter 317

Looking at the old magic stick in front of him, oh no, it should be called a historical celebrity, Zhao Lei couldn't help being a little happy, changed his disdainful expression just now, and said gently: "Junior Zhao Lei, I have met Mr. Zuo."

"Sir, if you don't dare to be a nobleman, please call me the old man's name for the time being, and the old man's character will be free."

"That's not good?"

"Hehe, the nobleman is the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, the old man is just a practitioner of Taoism, compared with the nobleman, the old man is much inferior." Zuo Ci laughed.

"Master!???" Zhao Yun said to Zuo Ci with a puzzled face at the moment.

"Zilong, I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown taller and stronger. Master is old. No wonder you don't recognize me." Zuo Ci said with a smile to Zhao Yun's loving face.

Zhao Yun stared at Zuo Ci's face for a long time, finally knelt down and said: "The disciple sees the master."

"Zilong get up." Zuo Ci supported Zhao Yun and said.

"Master, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Zilong waited on Changshan for half a year before returning to Zhaojiazhuang." Zhao Yun said.

"Master came to Jiangdong just to wait for the reincarnation of Xiang Yu. Besides, Zilong, you have learned all the skills of being a teacher. At this moment, your martial arts can be said to be invincible in the world. Before Hulao Pass, you defeated Lu Bu. It is already number one in the world. I am very happy to be a teacher, very happy!" Zuo Ci said.

Zhao Lei listened to what Zuo Ci said, and he didn't care about Xiang Yu's reincarnation. Anyway, he believed that he would control the world in the future.However, this person turned out to be Zhao Yun's master, which aroused Zhao Lei's curiosity, so he smiled at Zuo Ci and continued to ask the question just now: "Mr. Yuan Fang, is there only Mr. left in this iron factory?" ?”

Zuo Ci nodded, and said: "The rest of the people have dispersed. According to what the little brother said before, when Liu Yao's power fell, all the people in the iron factory ran away. The old man usually hides in the mountains and forests. Now the iron factory The people in the factory ran away, and the place became a wasteland, and many wild animals lived in the factory. The old man had nothing to do, so he stayed in the iron factory for a while, occasionally smelting iron, to pass the time, but the old man didn't care. It’s too good at doing it, but it turned the iron factory into a black one.”

After Zhao Lei finished listening, he smiled and said, "At first I thought Mr. Yuan Fang belonged to Liu Yao. I offended you just now, please forgive me!"

Zuo Ci said: "It's okay. Although the old man is a cultivator, he also has a compassionate heart. I admire the governor's ability to defeat Liu Yao and save the people of Yangzhou."

"Mr. Yuan Fang, there will be no more suffering people in Yangzhou from now on, and this iron factory will be in operation again, and I will also use the gift given by Mr. Yangzhou. Although Yangzhou is not a paradise, from now on it may become A piece of pure land, and there are many mountains and rivers in the territory, Mr. Yuan Fang might as well stay in Yangzhou to practice Taoism, wouldn’t it be nice for us to meet each other sooner or later?” Zuo Ci gave Zhao Lei a big gift, he naturally wanted to thank Zuo Ci, and moreover Wanting to keep Zuo Ci, borrowing the ancient people's fascination with immortals, and using Zuo Ci to spread the news that he is the Ziwei Emperor Star, it is definitely an excellent opportunity to control people's hearts.

Hearing Zhao Lei's warm invitation, Zuo Ci immediately smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness. I have been in Yangzhou for ten years, and I just want to present this generous gift to you. Now the generous gift has been sent to you." , the old man can also retire and continue to cultivate in Changshan. However, the old man and the nobleman are destined to meet again after many years. I hope that the nobleman has become the overlord of the Central Plains by then, and this generous gift of the old man will not be in vain .”

"Master, do you want to go?" Zhao Yun asked reluctantly.

"Zilong, are you going with me as a teacher?" Zuo Ci said.

Faced with this question, Zhao Yun didn't even think about it, and said, "No, I won't go with the master, I will follow my elder brother and fight for the world for him."

Zuo Ci sighed, and said, "Zilong has grown up and has his own opinions, that's all, Governor Zhao is a wise master who loves the people like his own son, so it's not bad for Zilong to follow Governor Zhao."

Zhao Lei said at this time: "Mr. Yuan Fang, the current situation in Yangzhou is unstable. Although many warlords have been eradicated, the people are still in a state of confusion. There are still mountains and more intrusions in the south, so I would like to invite Mr. Yuan Fang to go to Moling to set up a Preaching on the altar is also a kind of kindness that Mr. Yuan gave to the people. I don’t know what Mr. Yuan Fang thinks?”

Zuo Ci thought about it, felt that this was a good opportunity to become famous, immediately agreed, and said with a smile: "Since the honored person invites you kindly, then the old man would rather be respectful than obedient."

Afterwards, Zuo Ci took Zhao Lei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Han to inspect the iron factory.The scale of the iron factory is not too large, and in a sense, the iron factory is still in a backward and primitive state, and the fuel used is charcoal and the like.

After inspecting the iron factory, Zhao Lei felt that he should make great efforts to improve the iron factory, turn the iron factory into a steelmaking factory, and use his familiar knowledge to transform the place.Not only that, even the fuel has to be reused. There are so many rare ores and iron ores in this area. He needs to use his ability to explore all the basic mineral resources in Dantu County, and then mine and smelt them.

After coming out of the iron factory, Zuo Ci rode on a goat that came from nowhere, and said that he would take Zhao Lei to dig for wealth and get to know the location.

A few days later, Zhao Lei, Zhao Yun, and Xun You brought Zuo Ci back to Moling. At this time, the city of Moling was already full of people. Under Zhao Lei's governance, everything was prosperous.When entering Moling City from outside Moling City, the common people lined up to welcome him, scrambling to see Zhao Lei, and expressed their gratitude to Zhao Lei.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Lei asked Zhao Yun to arrange for Zuo Ci to stay temporarily, while he and Zhang Han entered the front hall of the Prefect's Mansion.

"My lord, now that Liu Yao's influence in the city has been completely removed, and the rest of the party is also secretly searching for it, and Lujiang, Wujun, and Shouchun are also vigorously governing, it is estimated that within a month, the entire Yangzhou will begin to enter the city. With regular development, the people of Yangzhou will also be more grateful to the lord." Zhao Lei and Zhang Han had just entered the hall, and Ju Shou, Cheng Yu, and Lu Su who came from Wu County surrounded Zhao Lei and said.

"Well, that's right. I believe Yangzhou will become rich in this way." Zhao Lei laughed.

"My lord is wise." Everyone said.

"By the way, I ordered people to build a pulpit on the earth hill outside the city in the past two days. I am going to let Zuo Ci open the pulpit and invite all the people in the fifty miles around to come and listen."

"No!" Cheng Yu said, Cheng Yu has always been responsible for this kind of matter.

"Also, I need to trouble Mr. Cheng to count all the fields in Yangzhou and distribute them to the people by households within a certain period of time, so that all the people have land to cultivate, and distribute grain for two months, and give some Money. Half of the people's fat and people's ointment looted from Qiao's village should be returned to the people of Yangzhou, and the tax will be reduced or exempted for one year, so that the people can live a happy life in this year. It is not in vain that I am the governor of Yangzhou. Done."

After hearing this, Cheng Yu kept nodding his head, and when Zhao Lei finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "The lord has the people in his heart, he is really a benevolent lord, Zhongmou can follow the lord, this life is enough."

"Hehe, okay, Mr. Cheng, you are tired after a busy day, go back early and rest, I will write a letter of appointment tomorrow, and you will copy a copy and publish it, and we can start formally gaining a foothold in Yangzhou!" Zhao Lei laughed.

Cheng Yu bowed and retreated: "Your subordinate will leave!" Lu Su and the others were also sensible, bowed to Zhao Lei, and retreated as well.

"Xiao Lei, I'm leaving first too. By the way, you will go to the back hall later, and there will be surprises!" Zhang Han said to Zhao Lei with a smile.

Looking at Zhang Han's leaving figure, Zhao Lei was confused. He stood up, turned around and walked into the back hall. During this period of time, in order to unify Yangzhou, he has been worrying every day. Now he can really relax for a long time. Tone, began to really rule in Yangzhou.

Entering the inner hall, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao suddenly ran out, startled Zhao Lei, and asked, "Why are you two here?"

Xiao Qiao giggled and said, "We heard that sister-in-law is coming to Moling, so we want to say hello first."

"Sister-in-law, what sister-in-law?" Zhao Lei asked strangely.

"My lord, have you forgotten Mrs. Cai's daughter?" Da Qiao said.

"You said Yan'er, he hasn't married me yet, how can you two little girls be called sister-in-law, it's not good to be heard." Zhao Lei laughed.

"The lord and his subordinates are brothers and sisters. They don't know each other. What are you afraid of! Besides, Zilong said that the lord and his sister-in-law used to love each other when they were in Wu County, and it will be a matter of time to call her sister-in-law." Da Qiao retorted.

"Damn Zhao Yun, I don't know what I'm thinking all day long." Zhao Lei cursed in his heart.

"My sister-in-law knows that the lord is back, she is dressing in the room, and she said she wants to show the lord her most beautiful side!" Da Qiao said.

Zhao Lei said: "Hehe, then I'm going to take a look. By the way, Xiao Qiao, have you read the grandson's art of war that I asked Zhou Yu to give you a few days ago? If you haven't read it, go read it quickly, don't waste it." Studies!"

"Xiao Qiao has read it a long time ago..." Xiao Qiao suddenly stopped talking, and the smart girl only rolled her eyeballs slightly, and then she understood, smiled at Zhao Lei, and immediately leaned over and said: "Yes, Xiao Qiao is here Go back to your room and read."

Da Qiao also understood, and said to Zhao Lei: "My lord, I'm going to find Zilong too."

Zhao Lei watched the two leave, walked forward a few steps, turned around and opened the door to enter his room.As soon as the door was opened, he smelled a strong fragrance, but saw Cai Yan sitting quietly by the bed.He smiled, closed the door casually, walked straight to the bed, and looked at the person he hadn't seen for nearly three years.
