In March, the sun is shining brightly, and seagulls and petrels in Shidao Bay are flying everywhere in search of food.
Their calls bring vitality and make the bay extremely noisy.
Lu Ping was dressed as a businessman, casually responding to the scene with a folding fan in his hand.
At first glance, he looked like an arty nouveau riche.
When Lu Ping was hanging around in the capital when he was young, he did a lot of arty things, so it can be said that wearing this outfit and speaking and behaving like this , the face of a proper businessman.
Lao Zhou and others pretended to be his companions, and a group of five people came to Fuhai Street in Shidao.
Nowadays, this wide street is bustling with people and is more lively than Dengzhou.
Vendors are selling along the street, and people are walking around looking around. , there are many shops.
It can be seen from the names of the shops that there are merchants from all over the country, including Songjiang, Yangzhou, Jinan, Linqing, Dengzhou, Tianjinwei, and even Shanxi.
Many of them are time-honored brands with a century-old history.
"Sir, this place is really lively.
It looks like there are tens of thousands of people here.
Zhao Lie has only been here eight years, and it is amazing that it has become as prosperous as Dengzhou."
Old Zhou clicked his lips and looked around.
"This Zhao Lie is a man.
He can lead the army when he is mounted, and govern when he is dismounted.
He can be regarded as a heroic figure in the Ming Dynasty.
However, the more capable he is, the more dangerous he is to the court."
Lu Ping looked at the prosperity in his eyes, his face unwavering, Zhao Lie is just too capable.
"Old Li, how are you?
When will the spring plowing begin?"
A middle-aged man dressed as a military household asked another military household.
"It will take another three or four days.
The ground is still a little muddy after the snow melts.
We will start plowing after a few days of drying out."
Li Qiusheng smiled and looked at the military household named Liu.
Old Liu was from a nearby village. , I have known each other for a long time.
"I said, Lao Li, what are you doing standing here?"
He asked with a smile when he saw his acquaintance Lao Liu coming over.
"We're not waiting for you, mother-in-law," Li Qiusheng said, pointing to a ready-made clothing store, "I said I'm going to pull some fabrics for my two daughters-in-law and grandsons, and then go back and make two sets of clothes."
"Okay, Lao Li, your two sons have gotten married.
Now that you have finished your big job, you will be much more relaxed in the future."
Lao Liu said enviously.
"I heard that your eldest son also got married.
There is only one younger son left, so there is nothing to worry about."
Li Qiusheng said with a smile.
"Oh, who says there is nothing to worry about?
Now the betrothal gift has increased to more than one hundred taels of silver.
We still have to build a new house.
This is really life-threatening.
No, the marriage has been decided, and the date of the wedding has to be postponed.
I guess it's possible.
After autumn."
When he mentioned this, Lao Liu changed his expression.
Now his life is getting better, but the betrothal gifts for his children have also skyrocketed.

"Haha, Lao Liu thinks the gift is too heavy.
How about going back a few years ago, when I didn't come to Shidao, and you didn't need a betrothal gift at that time."
Li Qiusheng clicked his eyes.
"Go, go, you old Li, now we have such a good life.
We can still live in the past.
Hum, if Mr.
Zhao hadn't come to Zuo Qianhu, we would have been drinking wild vegetable soup and eating black flour pancakes in the spring.
Old Li, you might as well be more kind than before."
Old Liu pointed angrily at Li Qiusheng.
Li Qiusheng laughed, and the two of them just laughed and coughed, and they walked and talked.
Lu Ping and others pretended to be waiting and listened to the conversation between the two.
After a while, they saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the two families returning one after another with big bags and small bags, and the two families separated one after another.
"Sir, although these people are all dressed as military households, the clothes on their bodies are brand new.
The military households under Zhao Lie must have lived a very good life."
Old Zhou looked envious, from north to south.
Among the military households he had seen, this was the most nourishing place.
"Hmph, win people's hearts."
Lu Ping said angrily.
The group of people came to the military camp in the southeast of Shidao.
The camp occupies a very large area, with towers standing in the forest, and there are soldiers guarding them.
Watch the surrounding situation vigilantly.
The gate of the camp is heavily guarded, and all personnel cannot get too close.
The gate of the camp is guarded by a hundred troops.
Now there are thirty soldiers in full armor standing straight in front of the gate, patrolling the people passing by.
Lu Ping felt uncomfortable seeing this.
As long as he saw Zhao Lie's army in full glory wherever he went, he would feel extremely unhappy, because this meant a threat to the court and the emperor.
The group came to the vicinity of the pier and saw that the civilian pier was full of ships such as Fu Chuan Haicang and other ships moored.
People were getting on and off the ships constantly.
Many people were shouting slogans to move objects, and it was a busy scene.
The trance here allowed Lu Ping and his party to see a glimpse of Tianjin Wei.
They were all water transport terminals, and they were extremely busy with people coming and going.
The naval docks near the east were all blocked, and I could only take a look at them from a distance.
I saw several huge forts distributed along the coast, with the black muzzles above facing the sea.
Polu could be vaguely seen on the forts.
The figure of the military soldier.
There were several huge Western warships parked on the dock of the military port, as well as several smaller warships.
There were not many people on the dock.
"This warship is really big.
There is no such big sea-going ship in the entire Tianjin Navy."
Lao Zhou curiously looked at the tall mainmast and the long and narrow hull.
He had never seen this style of sea-going ship. .
"It is said that her wife from Xiyi brought all this.
No wonder Zhao Lie ruined his future.
The dowry brought by this lady from Xiyi is really rich.
I am afraid that her mother-in-law's family is as rich as the country.

Zhao Lie is just out of luck. ."
Lu Ping curled his lips and said contemptuously.
Having said that, these people still looked at the ship in the distance in awe for a long time before leaving.
At around noon, the five people returned to Fuhai Street.
They came back from the Fushan Street area.
In short, they were full of prosperity and crowds.
Several people returned to Fuhai Street with full thoughts and empty stomachs.
Lu Ping took a few people to a restaurant.
The place was not too big, but it was very clean, and the work was done very neatly.
Several people were let into the lobby, where many people were eating and drinking.
Lu Ping could tell at a glance that many of them were just vendors, small figures, and they would never come here to eat if they had some background.
After ordering a few dishes, ordering a few bowls of noodles, and serving a few pots of soju, several people couldn't wait to eat and drink.
Every time they noticed, there was a pair of eyes watching them in the kitchen, and Lao Yao could see something was wrong from the words and deeds of these people.
Although these people were headed by the middle-aged man, who was wearing the clothes of a guard, and the middle-aged man was wearing the clothes of a merchant and looked like a businessman, these guards were much different.
They walked fearlessly, asked for bowls and chopsticks from work, and were very impatient to get a wine glass.
They were quite imposing, completely different from their status as guards.
You must know that the status of a guard is low, they are just working hard.
They are very humble on weekdays.
Some guards even have to do all kinds of work.
It is better to say that they are guards than odd jobs.
How can there be such a thorny guard?
They are just like the people in the public sect, even more arrogant than the people in the public sect.
The government servants in Shidao are extremely polite.
Of course, if they commit any crime, it will be a different matter.
In addition to doing things, Lao Yao just paid attention to these people.
After all, for his own safety, Lao Yao had to pay attention.
Who knows if Shi Dao discovered something about him.
But soon Lao Yao ruled out that they were from the Shidao Military Intelligence Department.
Their speech and behavior were not similar.
These people spoke the capital's official dialect.
Could they be from some yamen in the capital.
Although the identities of these people were excluded, Lao Yao still did not dare to be careless.
Suddenly, there were bursts of firecrackers outside, first one, and then many houses were setting off firecrackers, and the sound was so numerous that it was difficult to hear.
The workers outside hurriedly ran in, "Proprietor, proprietor, the Polu army won a great victory in Lushun.
They killed more than a thousand real slaves and nearly 10,000 Han army flags.
What a great victory."
The waiter's voice changed a bit, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on Lao Yao's face, "We have won a great victory.
Mr.
Zhao is really the reincarnation of a god.
Chen Tao, I will give you some money to buy some firecrackers, and I will also set them off soon."
Go, go quickly.”
Lao Yao gave the waiter a tael of silver, and Chen Tao ran over in a hurry.
The hall immediately became noisy.
After all, it had been more than a year since the last time Kong Youde was killed.
Master Zhao killed so many slaves in the Lushun Formation this time.

It was a rare victory in recent years, so everyone was excited.
There was a lot of discussion, and most of them praised Zhao Lie as a famous general in Denglai and a pillar of the imperial court.
Lu Ping and others who had already eaten and drank looked at each other.
They paid the bill and came outside.
They saw the streets filled with laughter and laughter.
From time to time, someone shouted that the Polu Army would be victorious.
There were the sound of firecrackers everywhere.
It’s as lively as the Chinese New Year, but more cheerful than the Chinese New Year.
Several people pushed through the crowded crowd and walked forward, and came to a large notice board.
They saw four soldiers of the Polu Army standing in full armor.
There was a notice posted on the notice board announcing the victory. .
They killed more than 1,100 Jiannu and more than 9,000 Han army flags.
They defeated Jiannu's attack on Lushun and kept Lushun safe.
The Ming Dynasty's last city in southeastern Liaoning was preserved.
In the end, the Polu army was victorious.
Surrounded by the happy people and businessmen, they were laughing and making fun, and the atmosphere was lively.
Lu Ping looked at the lively scene in front of him with complicated thoughts.
Jiannu was defeated, more than a thousand armored soldiers were beheaded, and tens of thousands of Han troops were flagged.
What a great victory this was.
As a Ming man, especially as a descendant of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, he had been suppressed by the slaves for more than 20 years.
When he mentioned the successive victories of the slaves and the defeats of the Ming army, Lu Ping could not hold his head up.
Now Zhao Lie repeatedly Killing Jiannu's armored soldiers and defeating Jiannu, this time he protected the Ming Dynasty's last territory in southeastern Liaoning.
As a Ming man, he was deeply proud of it.
But this Zhao Lie is an alien, completely disobedient to the control of the court and the emperor.
Why Lu Ping came here is to find Zhao Lie's shortcomings, to see where Zhao Lie's weaknesses are, in order to deal with him one day.
On one side, there was a famous anti-slavery general who was famous throughout the Ming Dynasty, but on the other side, his court was full of malicious intentions and wanted to eradicate him.
Lu Ping was temporarily absent-minded, not knowing where he was or what he was doing.
In the crowd on the right side of Lu Ping and others, Pan Yuanjin watched the crowd's celebrations expressionlessly.
Zhao Lie had won again, and it was a rare victory.
When Pan Yuanjin, who had lived in Shidao for a long time, heard the news, he was also strangely excited.
This was an uncontrollable excitement as a Mingren, but when he thought of his identity and the purpose of coming here, Pan Yuanjin felt strangely excited.
Yuan Jin immediately lost his thoughts and became more and more depressed.
