Rise From the Humble

Suzhou and Lake Tai are well-fed, and the world is well-fed.

Zhejiang has never lacked food and grass. When Zhu Ping'an took office as the governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Zhejiang came to pay a visit. At that time, he reported to Zhu Ping'an on the financial situation of Zhejiang. The grain stored in Zhejiang's granaries was as much as 90,000 shi.

This was because Zhejiang suffered a flood in the middle of the year. If it were in previous years, the grain stored in Zhejiang's granaries would be at least doubled or even tripled.

Not to mention salt. Zhejiang has been the main production area of ​​sea salt in my country since ancient times. There are countless salt fields in the territory. There is even a "Haiyan County" famous for its abundant production of sea salt, and Haining County. Haining County used to be called "Yanguan County". Many places are along the coast, and salt fields are facing each other.

The tribute salt of the Ming Dynasty is Daiyan produced in Daishan, Zhejiang.

After the messenger left, Zhu Ping'an wrote a letter by hand, stamped it with the governor's seal, and sent it to the Zhejiang Provincial Government Office, ordering the transfer of 10,000 shi of grain and 500 shi of salt.

The transfer of grain and salt went smoothly. The next day, the governor of Zhejiang Province brought people to escort grain and salt, and even transferred an additional 1,000 shi of grain and 100 shi of salt for consumption on the road.

Shaoxing is not far from Jiaxing, and it is impossible to consume so much on the road, but this is the goodwill released by the governor of Zhejiang Province. Zhu Ping'an has no reason to refuse. He thanked the governor of Zhejiang Province and accepted the grain and salt.

This time, Zhu Ping'an selected 1,000 Zhejiang troops and brought Liu Dadao and others to escort the grain and salt in person.

Seeing that the battle of Wangjiangjing was about to begin, Zhu Ping'an did not want to miss this battle that would go down in history.

In addition, the soldiers disguised as peddlers came from northern Zhejiang yesterday evening and reported on the investigation of Douniu Pu and Fuchun Bay.

He had not had time to explore the four places in southern Zhejiang.

The peddler walked the streets and alleys in northern Zhejiang and investigated these two places in depth. He did not see anything unusual in Fuchun Bay, but there was a major discovery in Douniu Pu.

The peddler was wandering around the streets of Douniupu and came to an old lady's house to ask for water. He made a major discovery while chatting with the old lady.

The old lady lived alone in the village. Her husband had passed away long ago. She had only one daughter, who was married to another place.

The old lady said that the village chief's father had a birthday party ten days ago and had a buffet for two days. Many relatives came to the village chief's house, dozens of people.

Because the village chief's house could not accommodate so many people, many of the village chief's relatives moved to some villagers' homes.

I thought the wedding was over and all these relatives had left.

But one day, the old lady went to pick up dry branches for firewood and came back late. She was surprised to see a relative of the village chief at the entrance of the village.

Although the old lady was old, her eyes were not blurry and her ears were not deaf. She recognized who the man was at once.

Isn't this the relative of the village chief who lives in Eryazi's house? Why hasn't he left after several days of the village chief's father's birthday?

And when the man saw the old lady, he immediately lowered his head and walked into the yard of Eryazi's house to avoid her.

With this accident, the old lady became more alert. When she was outside basking in the sun, collecting firewood, and collecting cow dung, she paid special attention to the village chief's house and those families where the village chief's relatives lived. You know what, the old lady really found something.

Although those relatives were secluded and did not show their faces, the old lady still heard a lot of strangers' voices.

The old lady could distinguish the voices of the villagers. These strange voices were undoubtedly the relatives of the village chief.

The birthday banquet of the village chief's father had been held for so many days, and those relatives of their family had not left yet.

After the Zhejiang soldiers disguised as peddlers learned of this news, they investigated several families under the pretext of parading through the streets and exchanging waste for small items, and found that some families looked a little unnatural, as if they were controlled by others.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the Zhejiang soldiers disguised as peddlers did not stay for too long. Just like a real peddler, after selling the goods and seeing that there was no business in the village, they carried their loads and left.

After leaving, he continued to walk through the streets and alleys of several villages, and only hurried back to report after leaving six or seven miles.

After Zhu Pingan learned of this information, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with this village, a big problem.

The village chief's father celebrated his birthday, and the dozens of relatives were most likely Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates controlled the village chief's house. As for "there was no room to stay and they lived in many villagers' homes", they took the opportunity to control the villagers.

Dozens of Japanese pirates can completely control the entire village.

No wonder there is no information about this village. It is controlled by the Japanese pirates. How could there be any reporting information?

The location of this village is very important, not far from Jiaxing City! The purpose of the Japanese pirates secretly controlling this village is self-evident. They want to use this village as a stepping stone to plot against Jiaxing City!

Zhu Pingan personally escorted grain and grass to Jiaxing. In addition to participating in the Battle of Wangjiangjing, it was to pull out this nail of the Japanese pirates.

The battle of Wangjiangjing is imminent. This village is close to Jiaxing City and not far from the main battlefield of Wangjiangjing.

This nail must be removed.

Zhu Pingan packed his bag, kissed the two little guys, and kissed Li Shu's forehead, "I'm leaving."

"Brother Zhu, you must remember every moment when you are outside that we are waiting for you at home, and you must return safely."

Li Shu hugged Zhu Pingan's waist reluctantly and whispered.

"Don't worry, I won't give you the opportunity to remarry. I don't want others to live in my house, sleep with my wife, and beat my baby." Zhu Pingan put his hands on Li Shu's shoulders and said something to liven up the atmosphere.

"Hate, hate, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is going to remarry?" Li Shu gave Zhu Ping'an a fist, glared at him hard, showed her little tiger teeth, and threatened fiercely, "Listen carefully, Zhu Ping'an, I tell you, if you dare to do anything, I will take the two little ones to find you downstairs. I want to see if you dare not take care of yourself! I, Li Shu, will do what I say!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I am the commander of an army, I will not take risks, so many soldiers under my command are protecting me."

Zhu Ping'an gently patted Li Shu's back and comforted her.

"You are not only the commander of an army, you are also my husband, the father of the baby, you are our heaven." Li Shu hugged Zhu Ping'an tightly.

"I know, wait for me to come back." Zhu Ping'an took a deep breath of the fragrance of Li Shu's long hair and said seriously.

"We will wait for you at home." Li Shu reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Son-in-law, no, Master, there's me too. I'll be waiting for you at home too."

Hua'er, the little maid, blushed and said in a mosquito-like voice, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.

"Wait for me to come back."

Zhu Ping'an casually rubbed Hua'er's hair, waved to Li Shu and the others, and turned away. (End of this chapter)
