Chapter 188: Clouds think of clothes and flowers think of appearance

Another year of snow came. Li Qing in the study looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window and felt emotion. It has been two years since Chongxian, and for two years, he has changed a lot and changed the Dingzhou where he is located a lot. From a low-level officer, he has risen like a rocket. He has become the commander of a state, but in fact he controls the territory of the two states. Among them, there are luck factors, forms, family reasons, but more of it is his own efforts. He has been trembling and walking on thin ice. He has woken up in his dreams many times, sweating profusely, and wandering around many times, and hesitating almost retreating. Now he is in a high position, holding heavy power. Looking back at the beginning, it is almost like a dream.

Lying on the knee of a beautiful woman drunk, waking her palm to kill her. Now, it is true that she wakes up her palm to kill her. With a command, millions of people can sacrifice their heads and shed their blood. But the more this happens, the heavier it makes people feel. If you make a mistake in one move, you will lose all the money. Can you still afford to lose now?

Li Qing smiled bitterly. Qingfeng is becoming more and more like a strong woman, step by step, and she is moving to a good player who can skillfully play power. All of this was achieved by himself. If he had known this, it might be better to let her be a female husband. He had no right to blame her. When he pushed her to the position of the Statistical and Investigation Department, but began to like her again and insisted on being with her, all this was destined. Unless Qingfeng could abandon all this, but she had suffered and was extremely sensitive, once she tasted the taste of power, how could she leave it? In the depths of her heart, Li Qing also understood that Qingfeng could not let go of all this at the moment. Now it was not when she was still in Chongxian. That simple career was just how to survive. Now his subordinates looked far, and some people even saw further than themselves.

I only met once, Qingcheng, a wife who had never been to the door. Li Qing shook her head. Another strong woman, who was afraid she would be stronger than Qingfeng. When she thought of the human-shaped tank on the imperial school field, Li Qing shivered. This was a naked marriage. News from the capital that Emperor Tianqi had decided to marry Qingcheng next year. It seemed that he had taken Fuzhou to scare the emperor and regarded Fuzhou as Qingcheng's dowry. Li Qing couldn't help but smile. Qingcheng came to Dingzhou, and it was like a tiger falling into Pingyang. No matter how strong she was, how could she control a firm Fuzhou that she had already controlled? Kill all those grassroots officials? Playing power tricks, can she be the opponent of Shang Haibo and others, but she is afraid that her fighting will be smoothed out and destroyed. Is it possible for her and her to have a love?

***, you raised me! Li Qing was so cruel in his heart.

The door sounded lightly, and Tang Hu walked in with a big package, "Master, this was sent by a woman a few days ago. The guard who collected the goods did not recognize her. The things had been checked. They were made of shoes, and there were all single and cotton shoes. There were more than a dozen pairs of handsome men! I don't know that woman, but I don't even know how big the handsome men's feet were, so I just sent it, and I was not afraid that the handsome men could not wear them at all."

"When did the shoes come?" Li Qing asked strangely.

"Some days, after following Dashuai, he was busy beating the barbarians, and then ran to Fuzhou again. Hu Zi almost forgot about this. Today, when he saw this package in the duty room, he remembered it and sent it to Dashuai."

When he opened the package, Li Qing took out a pair of cotton shoes and looked over and over again. He was very good at work. Looking at the soles of the shoes, the rows of stitches were dense and neat, as if he had measured them with a ruler. It can be seen that the person who made these shoes was indeed very attentive. When he touched them in his hands, he felt very soft and comfortable. He took off the old shoes on his feet with enthusiasm and put the new shoes on his feet. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide, neither big nor small, just fitting his feet.

"Who did this?" Li Qing concluded that this was his acquaintance, otherwise he would not have known so clearly about the size of his feet. "The guard asked, but the girl didn't say it! Oh, by the way, the guard saw that the girl was carrying a package in her hand, and it seemed that she was about to leave Dingzhou City!" Tang Hu said a little annoyed.

After putting on the shoes, Li Qing jumped on the ground, "It feels so comfortable!" he said. "Since I don't know, then forget it. Maybe I will meet this girl in the future. I will thank them later. It's great. I won't be worried about these dozen pairs of shoes next year. Haha, I'm wearing riding boots and official boots all day long. I really feel wronged with this foot. It's comfortable to have these cloth shoes!"

Tang Hu picked up a pair of shoes curiously. It really seemed that the cloth shoes were more comfortable than official boots. After looking at them for a while, he suddenly said in surprise: "Master, Master, are there still characters embroidered on the side of these guys?"

"Hmm?" Li Qing snatched it and looked closely. Sure enough, there was a line of extremely small words embroidered on the right side of the shoes, "The clouds think of clothes and flowers think of face!"

"Yun Want Clothes and Flowers Want to Face?" Tang Huqi said: "What does this mean? Grandmaster, did I think it was the name of this girl?"

Li Qing also muttered in his heart that this sentence must have meaning here. He lifted his shoes one by one. Sure enough, the same sentence was embroidered on each pair of right feet.

While pondering, Lu Dabing came across Zhimen, bowed and said, "Master, Mr. Shang has arrived at the Military Commander's Mansion. He said that he would go to Chongxian with Dashui to review the reserve service today. Let me ask Dashui when will he set out?"

Li Qing put down his shoes and said, "Now, let's go. The snow is so heavy today, so it would be nice to arrive in Chongxian. I will be able to go to Jimingze tomorrow!"

The group put on their cloaks and set out towards Chongxian under the escort of more than a hundred personal guards. The snow was still falling. There was a little snow on the trees and the roofs. It was black and white. After leaving Dingzhou City, a wide road appeared in front of everyone. The road was made of three-mix soil and a layer of gravel was pressed on it. In this way, even on rainy days, it would not be muddy and difficult to walk. All roads in Dingzhou will adopt this standard, not only for benefiting the people, but also for

With military needs, with such a road, the transportation speed and efficiency of the transfer of soldiers, large equipment, materials, and food will be greatly improved. This road leading to Suxian was the first to be built in Dingzhou, not only because Chongxian was the place where Li Qing made his fortune, but also because he is now the reserve training center in Dingzhou. After a large number of soldiers were recruited, they were first assigned to the battalions for several months before they were assigned to the battalions. It is essential to have a good road.

Large pits were dug on both sides of the road, and big trees were transplanted in the spring of the next year. In early summer, the road would be covered with green trees and would become a beautiful landscape in Dingzhou.

There were people coming and going on the road. Although it was snowing, there were still many people. When they saw Li Qing and others walking, they quickly avoided the side of the road and bowed to the side.

In the evening, the group approached Chong County. There was still a section of road here that had not been repaired. On such a snowy day, there were still crowds of people building roads in the snow. Li Qing couldn't help but frown when he looked at it.

Shang Haibo smiled and said, "Master, these road construction people are not the people of our Dingzhou, but the prisoners captured by the attacks on the barbarians these times. The general is not allowed to kill these barbarians, but we cannot support them in vain. Naturally, they have to let them do something to pay the bill. There are thousands of people here, and there are only a few people, and there are more people who are building roads in Fuyuan and digging trenches."

"Oh!" Li Qing suddenly realized and walked closer. Sure enough, he saw groups of barbarian soldiers wearing shackles carrying the prepared three-piece soil and stones under the supervision of Dingzhou soldiers. He walked along the way, with handcuffs jingling, and many people's faces showing pain. Everyone's ankles were worn out by iron shackles. They were frozen red and swollen in such cold weather. When they were a little slower, the soldiers whipped it down.

Seeing Li Qing's face showing unbearable expression, Shang Haibo said: "Master, these barbarians are brave and brave. It is not easy to take care of them without shackles. Although we let them work, they still have enough food. When they are sick, there are doctors to see a doctor. They have been captured for so long, but none of them die. The treatment is countless times better than the people they have taken away by them."

Li Qing nodded, remembering the ragged slaves when he attacked Angu, weren't they also working hard in the cold wind wearing shackles? There were also the scattered bones that were abandoned everywhere on the grassland. When he thought of these, his originally soft heart became hard again.

"Don't let them die, they are all good laborers!" Li Qing said.

Seeing Li Qing and others coming, the soldiers beat the prisoners and asked them to kneel on both sides of the road in rows, unsheathed their swords and guns, and were on guard. Li Qing's personal guards were also particularly excited, fearing that some of the prisoners who were blinded to the sky suddenly jumped up and caused trouble. Li Qing, who was riding his horse, looked at the rows of prisoners kneeling on the ground. These prisoners all lowered their heads, and occasionally someone raised their heads, and their eyes were empty and confused and lifeless. Obviously, they had no hope for their future, but they were just hungry for a day.

He reached out to see a fruit chief in charge here, and Li Qing ordered: "Although these people are barbarians, since they are now prisoners and are working for us, you should keep your meals full, and you should hire a doctor if you are sick. Also, you should let them take a hot bath every few days. It's so cold that you should not die."

"Yes, Grandmaster!" The chief of fruit was very excited. The chief of fruit was given a mere fruit, and I'm afraid there would be no more people in the entire Dingzhou army. "Don't worry, Grandmaster, I will definitely raise them well and let them build roads and dig canals for us."

Li Qing smiled and said to Shang Haibo: "Let's go. We walked slowly today. I'm afraid Jie Wei will wait a little anxiously."

Everyone walked for half an hour and saw the Chongxian County Town. After the old city of Chongxian was destroyed, Li Qing did not rebuild the city wall. At this time, Jie Wei was leading a group of officials waiting for Li Qing and his group at the end of the road. Jie Wei had been serving as the magistrate of Chongxian County for more than a year. When Li Qing saw him earlier, he had not yet taken off the aura of a minor official, but now he had the dignity of some county magistrates. Seeing Li Qing, he bowed deeply, "Jie Wei has seen the Grand Marshal, thank you for your hard work!"

Li Qing turned over and dismounted, "Jie Wei, I've made you wait for a long time."

Jie Wei smiled and said, "We should wait for the Grand Marshal. Da Zheng, you have already packed up your residence in Chong County, and the inn has also prepared a house. Are you going there to rest?"
