Chapter 189: Back to the Lou Cang

The world changes in this world and the world changes.

A year is enough to change many things. The same is true for Lou Cang! When Liu Kan stepped under Lou Cang, he was particularly surprised by the scene in front of him. A year ago, when Liu Kan led his army to war, Lou Cang was still a very desolate place.

But a year later...

The barren fields of the past have been reclaimed.

Ditches were drawn out from Sishui and crisscrossed between the ridges. About two-thirds of the canals have been completed.

However, there are still some places where the ditches have not been completed and the weather is very cold. Many people are working hard with their shirtlessness.

In the distance, Lou Cang City has also been completed. The towering city wall is five feet high. The wall surface is covered with smear powder. From a distance, you can feel a strong and heavy atmosphere. Outside Lou Cang City, there are many small villages interlaced together, but smoke from cooking fires is curling.

If you observe carefully, you will find that these villages are not messy.

On the contrary, they were built according to a certain rule. The location of each village was intimately in line with the direction of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, closely linking thousands of acres of fertile fields, and even the official road was included in the system. The outer periphery of each village was built with a rammed earth wall that was not too high, only reaching the chest of ordinary people. The east section and the west section seemed messy, but it seemed staggered.

Liu Kan observed carefully and couldn't help but take a breath.

After a year of baptism, Liu Kan's vision became very vicious. The military books and strategies learned earlier were gradually integrated. He could see at a glance that those villages, ditches, and Lou Cang City, the official roads had formed an organic whole.

Although the building warehouse has not been fully completed, Liu Kan could feel that if he was asked to attack the current building warehouse, at least 30,000 soldiers would be required to succeed. Moreover, even if he could capture the building warehouse, he would suffer heavy losses. Who designed such a system?

Just as Liu Kanzheng was confused, a horn sound suddenly came from the direction of the building and cage.

Following a team of cavalry, he rushed towards him like lightning. Behind the cavalry was a bronze car, and a woman stood on it. She was wearing a black fur coat, with tall clouds, an oval face, curved willow eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and a pair of beautiful eyes, showing infinite charm.

"A Kan, A Kan..."

The woman was in the car and waved to Liu Kan excitedly.

Liu Kan couldn't help laughing, and urged the red rabbit horse under his crotch. Xi Yuyu's long neighing sounded, and responded like a flying horse.

While running, the riding team automatically divided into two rows and gave up a road in the middle.

The car stopped, the horse stopped!

Liu Kan jumped off his horse, walked over with great strides, and carried the woman in the car down, "Grandpa, have you missed me this year?"

That woman is Garriage Lu.

He was hugged by Liu Kan, his pink face was blushing, but his eyes were filled with endless joy. She nodded repeatedly, "A Kan, you are finally back... This year, my mother is worried... A few days ago, the county magistrate sent someone to send a letter, saying that you will arrive in the next two days.

Brother Cao and the others are also looking forward to you so crazy!"

Liu Kan smiled and nodded slightly, but said nothing.

At this time, the working people in the fields gathered together, looking at the soldiers on the official road, talking nonsense.

"That person is Kuraru?"

"No, if it's not Cang Ling, how could the wife be so intimate with him... Oh, it can't be said to be Cang Ling. Now Cang Ling has been promoted to Sishui Commander. I heard that the Cang Ling has made great contributions in the northern border this time. A few days ago, the county magistrate personally sent someone to congratulate the old lady."

The building warehouse is really different today.

The population has exceeded 1,800, and the people are even more lively than some small county towns in remote areas.

Among them, there were more than 500 farmers under Liu Kan's name. In addition to the local and those migrants who migrated there, the population of Lou Cang increased by nearly 700 in one year, which made the desolate Lou Cang rejuvenate. Among the increased population of 700, most of them were refugees from both sides of the Huai River. After registering in the government office, they settled in Lou Cang.

Liu Kan took Lu Huang's hand and got on the car.

The person who drove the car was Wang Xin. Although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, he could tell how happy he was from his grinning expression. The reins of the Red Rabbit Horse were put on the shaft of the car. Wang Xin was about to leave while Lu Shizhi ran over.

"Second sister, why do you only see Brother Kan but not me?"

At first glance, Garriage almost recognized Lu Shizhi.

No wonder, after walking out of the sea of ​​corpses, after several battles in a year, Lu Shizhi's current appearance was almost completely different from his appearance when he left Lou Cang. Lu Gu shouted in surprise: "Are you a little pig? Oh my God, why did you become like this..."

Lu Shizhi's nickname is "Little Pig", and his image is basically conceivable.

However, Lu Shizhi, who is standing in front of Lu Yu, has long lost the youthfulness and innocence of the young man. Instead, it is a kind of stability and a kind of solemnity. A person's fat face is much thinner than before, and his round and fat face has now become angular and masculine. His voice is not as hoarse as a year ago. He shows a murderous aura in every move.

This kind of murderous aura is difficult to have without the tragic fight.

No wonder Lu Xun didn't recognize Lu Shizhi just now. Not only her, I believe that anyone who knows Lu Shizhi will not associate the capable warrior in black fur armor and a sling in front of him with the chubby and round "little pig".

Liu Kan smiled and said, "Ah, you can't call Shi Zhi anymore 'Little Pig, Little Pig'. He can now enjoy the third-class title of Zanniao."

Now, Garriage Lu was even happier.

He reached out his hand and patted Lu Shizhi's pocket ring, and said softly: "My father and mother are both in Lou Cang now. If he knew that Xiaozhu had such a future, he would be very happy."

"kindness!"

When Lu Shizhi heard this, he nodded vigorously.

"Second sister, I will lead my troops back to the camp with Brother Chen and others first. After they are settled, we will go home to pay our respects to our parents."

Lu Ge is naturally very happy about Lu Shizhi's sensibility. The little pig grew up and became sensible... and also knows the priorities of this matter.

Long before Liu Kan and the others arrived, Lou Cang had already built a small village for them.

It is arranged on both sides of Loucang City, one on the left and one on the right, and forms a horn-like momentum and echoes each other.

Liu Kan was in the car and learned about the current situation in Lou Cang.

Overall, in the past year, Lou Cang was basically normal... In addition to normal grain and grass transportation, under the leadership of Cao Shen and others, Lou Cang developed quite rapidly. Especially after joining hands with Qin Man to cook the sea at the beginning of the year, Lou Cang also undertakes salt transportation, mainly responsible for new counties and counties south of the Huai and Han Dynasties. At the same time, as the war in the south became increasingly calm, Baiyue's focus gradually shifted from military to people's livelihood construction. In order to strengthen control over Baiyue Lingnan, Emperor Shi issued an edict again in the middle of the year.

From the counties in northeastern Shandong, 80,000 households were moved to Baiyue, and began to build a north-south road.

In addition, there are still a series of projects related to people's livelihood in preparation, so that the affairs of the building and warehouse have not been reduced, but have become more and more busy.

The task of transferring food and grass between the north and the south has become heavier.

The Lou Cang Army had no choice but to increase it to 1,200 people, and divided into three teams to operate continuously. Later, if Qin Man had not allocated a 500-strong guard team from Yancheng and temporarily transferred Qin Zhou to the next level, Zhonglimei alone would have to be exhausted to death.

"Sister Man is still in the East China Sea because of something happening..."

Lu Geng said softly: "But she said, after the matter in Donghai is stable, I will come to congratulate you again... Akan, Sister Man seems to care about you very much. Over the past year, she has given us a lot of help. Many things, if she hadn't come forward, it would be really troublesome."

After saying that, a cunning look flashed in Patriot Lu's eyes, "Akan, you must thank him in person."

That graceful figure appeared in my mind again.

Liu Kan was stunned at first, nodded and said, "This is natural. In addition, after the matter on my side has stabilized, I will go to Ba County and visit the Qing Lao. The last time the Qing Lao invited me to come over, I was just going to conquer the Northern Xinjiang, and it was a bit rude when I remembered it."

Indeed, with Qin Qing's current status in the Qin Dynasty, he rarely takes the initiative to invite people to come.

In this matter, I always have to give Qin Qing an explanation.

"In addition, our farm has been built and has recruited many diners..."

"Dinner?"

Liu Kan frowned and was about to ask, but the car had already arrived at the gate of Lou Cang City. Cao Shen, Zhou Chang, Kuai Che ascetics, Zhong Limei and others were all greeting outside the city. Liu Kan didn't bother to ask and quickly got off the car. Everyone hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and when they met again, there were naturally many things to say. After a few greetings, Liu Kan walked into Lou Cang together surrounded by everyone.

"He's back!"

In the sparse forest not far from the gate of Lou Cang City, a middle-aged man quietly watched Liu Kan's back disappear into the gate. He couldn't help but sigh, turned his head to the young man beside him and said, "It's only been a few years in a flash, but I didn't expect this guy to become the Sishui Commander.

You said, will the butcher…”

The young man said, "No, I know the butcher very well. He is not a person who is fickle in Qin and Chu. I saw that the butcher did not follow him. I guess he has already returned to Pei County. Let's go back."

"go back!"
Chapter completed!
