Bow and thank "VduduV", "qwe79", "Play 123" and "weip559" for their valuable monthly passes; Thank you again for your enthusiastic reward from "Captain Shubei"!

……………………………………………………………………

Thousands of miles away? It is conceivable that if it had been passed far and for a long time, the story would have become very famous in the future, and then it would become an eternal story that would have been passed down from generation to generation.

may be due to the change of Lu Zhe's identity, he ordered someone to investigate in detail after hearing this rumor.

If someone deliberately spreads it, and it is the flail that spreads in order to achieve something, Lu Zhe will definitely draw a line with the flail immediately, and may even make more drastic acts.

After careful investigation, although the spread of the story of "A Thousand Miles to Find a Husband" is related to the wings, it is not a deliberate thing. It will become such a sensation not only related to the wing flail, but also inseparable from Lu Zhe himself.

First of all, Lu Zhe is now the lord of Nanjun, and there are more than 100,000 troops under his command.

Then, what does a person in a position of authority look like to an ordinary person? In addition to being unattainable, it is more about having a sense of mystery. To put it simply, people will be curious about what life is like for people in high positions, and the slightest story will be passed on for a while.

Lu Zhe didn't know that he was in Nanjun, because of the relationship between suppressing the rebellion and defeating the Baiyue people, his reputation was already very high. He didn't know that there was an obvious difference between himself and the current high-ranking people, that is, he didn't seem to have seen a woman around him at all.

The high-ranking person is also the lord of Nanjun, and there is no woman around such a noble figure, isn't this eye-catching?

The arrival of Wing Flails, Wing Xiu, and Shejing was not secret, and there were at least forty or fifty thousand people who saw it with their own eyes that day, and they saw the three of them enter Lu Zhe's big tent with their own eyes. And this is the first time that Lu Zhe has let a woman into the tent, can they not be curious?

In the case that Lu Zhe didn't care. Some of the high-ranking officers had heard about the marriage contract with their own ears.

These officers know the Tao, and they may be happy to tell the people close to them, and they basically know the Tao if the infinite cycle continues.

The fact that the lord of Nanjun had a fiancée was spread and talked about as if she had grown wings, and people were first curious about what the woman looked like, and they would ask a little bit about it.

Many people have seen Yixiu, and they have the impression that Yixiu looks delicate, and it doesn't seem that the skin and temperament are beautiful.

The news about Yixiu's appearance spread far and wide, and they were surprised at how the fiancée of the lord of Nanjun could be such an ordinary person, and their first reaction was that it must be a rumor about the fiancée or something.

"The lord of Nanjun, what a noble man. How could it be possible to marry an ordinary woman. This is the first thought of almost all ordinary people. In their minds, the woman of the superior should be very beautiful.

"It seems to have come from Longxi, thousands of miles away. Lu Shizhe did not come forward to refute the rumors, and also appointed one of the girl's hundred generals as the captain of the personal army. "It's a conversation that they get involved in or hear after the fact.

Things get to this point, and it seems that everything makes sense? They are also subconsciously willing to believe such a thing, after all, it is too ordinary for a superior to marry a girl, and a noble person marrying an ordinary little woman is legendary enough, and it is also in line with the appetite of ordinary people.

Lu Zhe has had a girlfriend before, and he has had more than one. He has had almost all gentle, savage, passionate, and hot girlfriends, and the only one he hasn't seen is a good wife and mother.

The arrival of Yixiu added a lot of fun to Lu Zhe's life. Every day is no longer about being on business or resting. His subordinates are not good partners for small talk because they are more restrained when they talk. But Yixiu is different, she is a very suitable listener for Lu Zhe, and she has no scruples about saying things that can't be said casually.

Now. Yixiu has already entered the inner account, and Lu Zhe didn't pay much attention to it even if he knew the way, after all, Yixiu had already gone in more than once.

After reading the topographical map, Lu Zhe returned to the long case and picked out a few bamboo slips. That's information about the scout's return to Qianzhong County.

For a while, it was probably Lu Zhe who walked back to the shelf where the topographic map was hung after reading the two bamboo slips, and Yixiu from the inner tent walked out. She obediently found a seat and sat down, and once again supported her chin with her arms and looked at the busy Lu Zhe with some distraction.

Yixiu is indeed an ordinary girl, she has the dream that all girls of the same age will have, she will imagine what kind of person her future husband is, and she is eager to marry a man who stands up to the sky.

What does it look like to stand up to the sky? It must be very good!

Yixiu, who came back, saw Lu Zhe standing in front of the topographic map and did not speak, and sometimes there were some inexplicable smiles on his face.

Lu Zhe is very young, and his skin has already become dark due to frequent exposure to the wind and sun, but after more than a year of training and increasing his appetite, his body has become very strong.

At that time, Lu Zhe was forced to participate in the battle, not only was he knocked off a left arm, but his face was also scarred by the friction on the ground. Now the injury on the left arm is not complete, but it is no longer necessary to hang on the chest, but it is impossible to lift heavy objects. The wounds on his face have healed, but the cheeks that were originally smooth now have some unclear scars.

Women often say that men look attractive when they focus on one thing, and it seems that it should be like that, right? When a man focuses on willpower, his eyes will become very bright, and his eyebrows will also form sword eyebrows, with the tight lips and slightly tight cheeks, all of which combine to see that there is indeed a beauty that belongs to men.

Of course, Lu Zhe knew that Lu Dao Yixiu had come in, he looked at the mountains and rivers for a while before turning around, looking at Yixiu who was supporting her chin with her arms, and saw her staring at him with wide eyes, and said in amazement: "Is there anything else?" ”

Yixiu is an active girl, after coming to Gangneung, her brother has become a pro-soldier and has no time to accompany her, and none of the people around her know her, which makes her feel very bored when she is active.

The people I know are very busy, and there are no acquaintances around, and a very strong sense of loneliness has always surrounded Yixiu. It's not that she hasn't tried to meet new people, but those who don't know seem to be a little afraid of her, and those who don't seem to be too deliberately flattering. This kind of life is something that Yixiu has never experienced.

Lu Zhe saw that Yixiu was stunned and didn't answer himself, he smiled a little bitterly, he had known Yixiu for more than two months, and he had the impression that this girl liked to jump and jump very much, and there didn't seem to be any bad habits except for this. It's just that he doesn't understand why this girl has become in a daze lately?

The military order to go to Qianzhong has been issued, but the army's departure is not as simple as leaving, and it will take a while to prepare for the supplies of 50,000 people. At the same time, Lu Zhe also had to send scouts in advance to investigate the road and the enemy's movements, and the necessary guides had to be recruited in advance.

Sending troops to Qianzhong County was not a whim, Lu Zhe racked his brains and recalled some very important things, the vicinity of Wuling in Qianzhong was the main concentration of ore in later generations. And it seems that limestone and coal stone are also produced on the other side.

At present, the main reason for the brittleness of iron smelting tools is that the refining temperature is insufficient, and the high temperature produced by burning coal stone is not the same as the high temperature produced by firewood. With coal and stone to improve iron making, should iron be made a little purer?

Limestone is also a kind of thing that Lu Zhe is in urgent need of now, compared to the unfamiliarity of the metallurgy, he is very good at civil engineering, after all, it is related to the family business.

With limestone, the speed of building a city has increased a lot, and at the same time, it is not as strong as mud. The only pity is that there is no steel ...... now, well, even if you can train steel, it is impossible to use it to build a city. Can only be used to craft weapons.

Lü Zhe's plan for building the city was relatively large, and he planned to spend at least five years to complete the construction of the new city, and the outer towns and forts were built in advance, which were only the simplest outlines of the periphery. A towering wall will be erected in the back. And this new city will have a total of five cities, and you can imagine how terrifying the defense will be at that time.

The area of Xinchengchi is very large, including the sub-city, and the total area has included Yineung and Gangneung. The main city will be larger than the scale of Xiangyang City in the Song Dynasty, and it will also connect the southern part to the river. Then it is a pattern of land on three sides and water on one side.

This kind of city is extremely survivable, even if all the sub-cities on the outskirts are uprooted, and its supply lines cannot be cut off by land alone. Then even if the land is surrounded, the logistics line will not be cut off.

The reason why Lu Zhe wanted to build this new city was actually not a big ambition, he just felt that the turmoil in the south would not end in the short term, and wanted to build a stable base for himself. At first, I wanted to build a city similar to a six-pointed star, but then I thought that it would be the same, so it was better to build a big city in several stages, and the blueprint planned would be so big.

With the method of building a city quickly, it is not really difficult to build a city wall, and the walls of a new city will not be a boxy pattern, but an angular system.

The total length of the new city wall will be more than 80 miles, and the corresponding city defense facilities are also in the planning, and the knowledge he has is destined to make this new city an extraordinary heroic city.

It may be a bit of a joke, but Lu Zhe really has a feeling of playing a simulation game in his heart, others don't have the opportunity to build a real city, and now he has the opportunity to play a little, even if he is doing business, he can satisfy his own fun.

More and more information shows that, in addition to Hengshan County and Huiji County, the Qin State has lost control of Changsha County, Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, and Zhang County. The point of explanation is that the Qin State has temporarily lost its right to rule these four counties, and the pattern there is either controlled by the old aristocracy or is full of chaotic armies.

Lu Zhe had already sent spies to pay attention to the intelligence of those counties, but due to his haste and almost the vague distribution of potential forces, he lost a lot of manpower just by probing such simple information. It's not that the spies are cleared out when they are discovered, but that the chaotic situation is really unjustified.

The changes that have taken place in the south in the past two months can only be described as earth-shaking, and it seems that the center of the Qin State has not yet reacted, and the counties bordering these counties are only relying on county soldiers to deploy defenses, and they have not tried to restore control of those four counties at all except for defense.

It seems that the "weakness" of the Qin State has stimulated more of the old nobles, some of the nobles of the former Chu State, whose courage is getting fatter and fatter, and they are no longer limited to activities within the range they are familiar with.

Many rebels do not entrench themselves in a county, but rather coerce some leaders to march to the next place, and the chaotic environment can force people to leave their hometowns and lose their source of livelihood.

Some armed forces to a certain number. They began to attack more counties, and of course there was an attack, and of course there was a defense, making the situation more and more volatile.

And those are just the turmoil that happened in the south, Lu Zhe privately guessed that Qidi should also be in chaos, after all, there can be a guy named Tian Yong in Nanjun, which shows that the undercurrent of Qidi is also preparing. Since it was prepared in advance, then the rebellion would definitely happen.

The Tian clan is a big clan of the Qi country, and the former lord of the Qi country is also the Qi family, Lu Zhe guessed that the guy named Tian Yong should not be the king and grandson of the Qi country, but just fished in troubled waters by his name.

Sometimes it's very important to do things under the guise of a name. Especially in Qidi, under the guise of the name of the Tian family. As long as Tian Yong really makes a career, even if he is not a clansman of the Tian clan at that time, the real Tian clan will "find a way" to make him a real clansman.

What made Lu Zhe a little unpredictable was that it had been two months, and there were old nobles everywhere who had raised troops, but the Xiang family had not moved at all. He was a little confused about what the Xiang clan was doing, and at the same time, he was also a little confused about Qin's reaction.

If I guessed correctly, those letters should have arrived in Xianyang a long time ago, and the National Lieutenant Office should have immediately presented it to the First Emperor after receiving the military intelligence report? Two months have passed, and the First Emperor should have arrived if he had issued an order to Nanjun. But no, not a single one. It made him wonder if the letter had been intercepted halfway through or something.

Lu Zhe sent a lot of letters to Xianyang back and forth, but not only did the center not respond, even Zhao Gao, Meng Tian, and Xu Yan did not reply.

Xianyang has no receipt. Not even one. Such an unexpected event made Lu Zhe feel more and more that the turmoil in the south would last for a long time, and he had to make the worst and the safest preparations.

Qianzhong County has been encroached upon by Baiyue for nearly two years, although it is to encroach on the territory, but Baiyue people are not good at management, so what kind of city and the like in addition to the old county seat. It is estimated that it will not increase.

Recently, the scouts sent by Lu Zhe also made in-depth investigations, and after the defeat of the last 100,000 Baiyue, the number of troops they garrisoned in Qianzhong County also dropped to a record low. Some of the tribesmen's men did not return because they were killed or captured in large numbers.

Lu Zhe also asked a lot of information from the two captives of Yi Huze and Chang Qinqing, the Baiyue people did not manage Qianzhong County at all, and there were only two places where there were cities, one of which was the first target of the attack after the troops were sent to Linyuan County, and the other was the capital of Qianzhong County in the past.

In addition to not adding new county seats, the Baiyue people are so casual in their management of Qianzhong County, but they are very encouraging to farm.

The army of 100,000 invaders from the north, their grain and grass basically came from the taxes generated by Qianzhong County, and it is conceivable that the agriculture there should be very developed, right?

There were not many garrisons, there was no environment of cities everywhere, and there was a relatively developed farming system......

Such a Qianzhong that can almost be bitten down with a mouth, Lu Zhe will send troops to occupy the territory even if he is not short of food!

"I can't predict Xianyang's attitude towards me," Lu Zhe gestured with his hand on the map, muttering to himself, "Since this is the case, let's make a bigger move." Capture Qianzhong County to win a credit for restoring the country's territory, even if Xianyang wants to dispose of me at that time, you have to take this into account, right? ”

The hand drew a circle, dividing all the southern counties and Qianzhong counties into them, and a "territory" with a length of 700 li and a width of almost 500 li appeared. It covers an area of at least 400,000 square miles, and there are four large rivers in the interior, and it is impossible to count how much area there is in the plains, but there are really enough mountains in it.

"The population of Nanjun is 1.26 million, and the original Chu people in Qianzhong County should have more than 300,000......" When Lu Zhe turned around, he saw what was holding a bowl in his hand, and he was stunned for a moment: "Xiu? ”

Yixiu held the bowl high: "Tired, right?" Drink some water. ”

Lu Zhe subconsciously took it, and looked down to see that it was really just clear water in the bowl.

Yixiu is not from some noble family, naturally no one will teach the "Nudian", so it should not be possible to make tea and the like.

Nowadays, families with a little money will teach women a lot of things, such as female red, dressing up or something. A woman from a noble family also has to learn to cook and make tea, of which boiling tea is the most important.

The so-called cooking is not simply cooking rice, but some small snacks and all kinds of soups. Since the current tea is not like the later generations can be brewed and drunk, then it needs a process of boiling tea, the process is divided into many ways, and the tea is divided into many kinds of ginger tea, tea powder and so on.

People look at Lu Zhe not only because there are no women around him, but also because of his casualness about the living environment.

Nowadays, people who have some status will not live in tents for long periods of time. No matter how difficult the conditions are, they will build a house for themselves. Depending on the level of status, the specifications and decoration of the house will be different.

As the lord of Nanjun, Lu Zhe, with his current status, should at least live in a mansion of 1,000 square meters, and should also have a pleasing garden to support his identity. Of course, the number of maids and servants was even more demanding, and some men and women who planned to enter the Lu Mansion to become maids or servants were disappointed that Lu Zhe did not build a mansion at all.

The Qin State also rewarded military marquis and those with high titles, and generally asked the government to build a residence that matched their status in their hometown, and also gave corresponding maids and slaves.

Far away in Xixian County, Longxi, the government has built a new mansion for Lu Zhe. Maids and servants were also gifted, but it was the Whale Xun family who enjoyed those treatments.

Where Xixian is Lu Zhe knows the way, but he never planned to go. In fact, he should still have a mansion and corresponding maids and servants in Nanjun, but because the chief and deputy commanders of the Southern Expeditionary Army had just arrived in Nanjun, not only Lu Zhe, but all the officers did not get the "benefits" they deserved.

The Southern Expeditionary Army has not yet formed a system, and the death of the chief and deputy commanders and the disappearance of the missing have disappeared, and those benefits have come to naught. After Lu Zhe took over as the commander, he didn't know what to do, let alone himself, even the officers under his command still live in tents. It can be said that it is not a big mistake, and no one has mentioned it to him.

It's not that no one wants to remind him, it's just that before reminding, Lu Zhe had a plan to build a city, and he had planned an area for officers to build houses. Those officers were still under construction as "welfare", and everyone had no opinions, and they were looking forward to the construction of the new city as soon as possible.

Lu Zhe prepared a mansion for Yixiu, which was a mansion that lost its owner after a military disaster. The format of the house is very traditional in the southern style. It's nothing special, but it's a pretty nice environment.

The county seat is only less than three miles away from the barracks, and Yixiu will come to the barracks almost every day. Sometimes it's looking for my brother. Whenever the wing flail is busy, he will come to Lu Zhe's tent.

Yixiu didn't have too special intentions when he came to Lu Zhe's tent, just to help Lu Zhe clean up the rest of the tent, and occasionally bring water or something, just out of a very simple mentality of his daughter's family, even if he didn't do anything and just looked at his man quietly, he was very satisfied.

Lu Zhe has nothing to talk about with everyone in this era, but he always feels uncomfortable after holding it for a long time, and when he is free, he will talk to Yixiu about his previous life.

In this way, Yixiu would always listen to Lu Zhe say things she didn't understand, like "you should be studying in school at this age". Occasionally, Lu Zhe will also talk about what happened in the family before, such as his mother is more partial to his brother, when he was a child, he always had his brother's share of buying toys, and when he grew up, the family's business was basically handed over to his brother, and he couldn't learn to do business during the summer vacation, so he could only follow the project and take care of the construction site.

Lu Zhe sometimes changed his accent when he was engrossed, and it was a kind of Mandarin that Yixiu couldn't understand, which was a completely different language system from the Qin dialect.

Yixiu is usually more active, and when she gets along with Lu Zhe, she forces herself to be quieter. I would make such a move because I heard that men like quiet women, and no man would like a bouncing woman.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Lu Zhe said with a smile: "I'm already looking for a teacher for you, and I will follow along when the time comes." Do you know the way? ”

Yixiu nodded obediently.

"It's a pity that Nanjun is a small place, not as prosperous as Xianyang. I've been busy lately, if I'm free, I'll take you to some scenic spots with beautiful mountains and rivers to play," Lu Zhe put down the empty bowl that he had drunk, turned around and walked towards the long case, but he was looking forward to it for his "Lori cultivation plan".

Yixiu's face was full of smiles, she liked the feeling of being cared for by Lu Zhe, which made her feel a sweet taste in her heart.

Lu Zhe turned around and came back, stretched out his hand and handed out a money bag: "Huh! There were twenty and a half taels in it, and a mina of gold. It's the kind of gold that shines brightly, not the 'gold' of copper. ”

Yixiu, who took the money bag, was a little dazed.

"Pocket money," Lu Zhe smiled happily, "You can buy whatever you want." ”

Yixiu nodded heavily.

In fact, there is no thrilling and romantic story of getting along, and the relationship between the two has always seemed so natural.

At this moment, a young man in his twenties and a girl of fifteen years old have bright smiles on their faces. (To be continued......)
