Chapter 321 Return Visit to Wu County
Jia Xu said at this time: "My lord, this subordinate thinks it's better to take Miss Cai out for a walk."

"Mr. Jia, this is not acceptable. I left Moling this time to inspect Yangzhou. It's a business, not a tour. It's not good if there is any danger with a girl. What if something happens? How do I explain things to the teacher?" Zhao Lei said.

Jia Xu said: "The lord is going to the border between Yangzhou and Shanyue this time. If only the lord, Zizhou and Zilong go, three men appear in this kind of border area, and Zilong has a unique skill, so it is inevitable that they will be killed." It arouses suspicion. If the lord brings Miss Cai, he can pretend to be a husband and wife, and Zizhou and Zilong pretend to be servants, so that it is not easy to reveal the identity of the lord."

"Haha, Mr. Jia, you are so smart. This idea is really good. You are indeed the master's military adviser!" Cai Yan said excitedly when he heard that Jia Xu asked him to follow Zhao Lei to inspect.

After Cai Yan finished speaking, Zhao Lei smiled at Cai Yan, and immediately said, "Okay then, Yan'er, you also go to clean up, say goodbye to the teacher, and leave Moling with me tomorrow!"

Zhao Lei said: "It is estimated that I will go out for more than a month to tour the counties this time, so I hope everyone can perform their duties and maintain the current situation in Yangzhou."

Everyone said: "No, this subordinate obeys!"

"Great, I can go out!" At this time, Cai Yan said excitedly to herself. Since she came to Moling, she has never been to other places except staying at her own home. This time, she can go out and see The knowledge made Cai Yan ecstatic.

While Cai Yan was still happy, Zhao Lei asked someone to call Wang Yue who was guarding the hall outside.

"Why did my lord call me?" Wang Yue asked as soon as he entered the hall.

"Wang Yue, how many dead soldiers are there in Moling?" Zhao Lei asked Wang Yue.

After hearing this, Wang Yue said, "There are about 50 people left."

"Wang Yue, this time I sent Qiao Lao's daughter Xiao Qiao to Shanyue, and you will send thirty dead men to secretly protect him along the way." Zhao Lei said.

"Thirty dead soldiers? So many people have been dispatched." Wang Yue thought to himself at this moment: "It seems that this little Qiao has a high status in Zhao Lei's heart!"

Thinking of this, Wang Yue said: "This subordinate obeys the order, and this time, among the thirty dead men sent by this subordinate, there is an acquaintance of the lord."

Zhao Lei asked strangely, "What acquaintance?"

"Ling Tong is the son of Ling Cao, the former deceased." Wang Yue said.

"Ling Tong is among your dead soldiers?" Zhao Lei asked in surprise.

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Yes, my lord. After Ling Cao died, his subordinates adopted Ling Tong as his adopted son and taught him martial arts for more than two years. Now he can be said to be the most dead man besides me. He is the one with the strongest martial arts here. I believe that as long as he takes the lead in protecting Miss Xiao Qiao, she will be safe."

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I will do as you wish. The remaining [-] dead soldiers will stay in Moling, and you will patrol with me to protect my safety."

Hearing that Zhao Lei wanted to take him out, it was undoubtedly a kind of trust in him, Wang Yue immediately said happily: "This subordinate obeys orders!"

Zhao Lei naturally didn't know the joy in Wang Yue's heart.In fact, not only Wang Yue, but other generals as well.Since Zuo Ci opened the altar to preach in Moling, the reincarnation of Overlord Xiang Yu has become Zhao Lei's biggest name now, even overshadowing his name as governor.This name was also spread by the people of Moling County to ten, ten to hundreds, so that almost everyone in Yangzhou now knows it, and for Zhao Lei's subordinates, they have gathered together invisibly. Centripetal force, who wouldn't want to follow a capable lord and be a founding hero in the future!

"Well, I am inspecting Yangzhou this time. Although it is my own territory, there will always be some accidents on the way. The reason why I let you go is because you are smart enough. And Ling Tong, pass a message for me Give it to him, just say that you are nominally protecting Xiao Qiao to go to Shanyue on the way, but in fact you want him to secretly record the terrain and roads leading to Shanyue, as well as the distribution of troops in Shanyue, and draw a map when he comes back. For us It will be of great benefit in the future. But if you encounter any difficulties, you can go back to Fuchun to ask Fengxiao for help. I have a heavy army in Fuchun County, and if I am chased by Shanyue, I can retreat back."

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates also understand the meaning of the master, but I am afraid that Ling Tong is not good at drawing maps. Will the master find someone who can draw maps to go with him?" Wang Yue said.

Zhao Lei said with a helpless smile: "It's not necessary, he won't always be met, as long as he can record the terrain and landforms along the way, as well as the distribution of troops in Shanyue, this trip will be worthwhile, do you understand?"

"Understood, this subordinate understands, this subordinate will instruct Ling Tong." Wang Yue said.

"Well, let's go, gather at the Governor's Mansion tomorrow morning"

Wang Yue bowed and said, "The subordinate has retired."

"En." Zhao Lei nodded.

Zhao Lei completed all the instructions, let out a long breath, and said to everyone in the hall: "Although the iron factory has started to operate, the mineral resources are somewhat scarce, so tomorrow I will go on a cruise along the coast of the East China Sea to investigate The rare mineral resources in the south of the Yangtze River, the iron factory must be put into operation as soon as possible to build weapons for our army."

Early the next morning, Zhao Lei, Zhang Han, and Cai Yan were sitting in the carriage together, Wang Yue was driving the carriage, and Zhao Yun was riding behind the carriage on Jueying. The five of them left Moling City together and headed towards the east of Moling.On the other hand, Xiao Qiao, under the guard of Ling Tong and fifty elite stone barracks, took the seal personally stamped by Yangzhou governor Zhao Lei, and a small amount of gold, silver and jewels, and headed southeast.At the same time, there are [-] dead soldiers of Wang Yue secretly protecting them on the road.On the rear side, Jia Xu sits in Moling and takes over the military and political power of Yangzhou. On the one hand, he issues official documents to the counties and counties, and on the other hand, he urges the prefects and generals in other counties to train and expand their troops. Trying to develop Yangzhou to the best.

Zhao Lei spent nearly 20 days wandering around Dantu, Shizigang, and Wucheng. During the day, he took local officials, Zhang Han, and Zhao Yun deep into the local mountains and hills to explore mineral resources.In the evening, he rested in the local county government office, and basically found out the location of various rare minerals. He asked his subordinates to plant special plants here, mark them, and save them for future mining.There is also the location of the gold mine provided by Zuo Ci to Zhao Lei. Zhao Lei also found a clue in Taihu Lake, which is close to Wu County.So Zhao Lei wrote down the location for future mining.

Now is the season for planting, and the local people in Wujun are very happy because they have redistributed the land. Since the cultivated land in other prefectures and counties in Wujun is very scarce, Zhao Lei taught the local people to grow fruits, reclaim the hills as fields, and grow vegetables.The climate in Yangzhou is humid, planting these things can not only make a lot of money, but also the people can support themselves, so Zhao Lei can collect taxes from these people and enrich the treasury.

In the land of Wujun, Zhao Lei met an old friend. Three years ago, they fought side by side to defeat the aristocratic family of Wujun, which gave Zhao Lei a foothold in Yangzhou.That man is Lu Kang, the prefect of Wu County.Lu Kang happened to take his son Lu Xun out of Wu County today to inspect the people.And Lu Xun was no longer a four-year-old kid.He studied with Cai Yong for two years, and then was dragged by Zhang Han to Moling to experience a real battle. His mind has long been beyond the reach of ordinary children.No, after the two met Zhao Lei, before his father could speak, Lu Xun took a step forward and hurriedly said, "My subordinate, Lu Xun, sees the lord! I wonder if the lord is all right?" In Lu Xun's words, there was a lot of courtesy, and there was a model. Sample.

Looking at Lu Xun's serious face, he was really cute, Zhao Lei replied with a smile, "Okay, I'm fine, I'm sorry."

"Thank you, my lord!" Lu Xun said.

"Bo Yan, I heard that you followed the man to attack Moling? How do you feel?" Zhao Lei asked, squatting down, touching Lu Xun's head with a smile.

"Brother Han's ingenious plan, guessing the mind of the enemy leader, poisoned the grain and grass around Moling in advance, so that the enemy would eat the poisoned grain and grass without knowing it, and successfully conquered Moling. This is a surrender without a fight. A soldier of man." Lu Xun clasped his fists and said.

Hearing Lu Xun report the situation to Zhao Lei imitating the tone of an adult, Zhang Han and Zhao Yun also looked at each other and smiled.

"Prefect Lu, your son is so funny!" Zhao Lei also joked.

Looking at Lu Xun, everyone laughed.Lu Kang said to Zhao Lei: "My lord, why did you come to Wu County? The subordinates never greeted you from afar. Please forgive me, my lord."

"Daddy, you see that the lord's dress is just a private visit in a micro-clothes, so why would you tell Daddy?" Lu Xun interjected.

Lu Kang suddenly realized, and said: "Then please rest for a while, my lord, Ruwu County! I still have people clean the former governor's mansion every day, and wait for the lord to come at any time."

"Prefect Lu, you don't need to be polite. I came here to Wujun just to go to Taihu Lake to confirm the location of some minerals. Now that I have found it, I have to leave now. I will not go to Wujun." Zhao Lei said .

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Lu Kang felt a little regretful, and said, "In that case, my lord, let's go."
