Chapter 117 Fame and Benefits
Lu Xingchen thought He Zhang could hold on.
He Zhang took two steps back and began to vomit, then fell to the ground.
"Girl, this boy is no good." Lu Yun clicked his tongue in disappointment.
"Didn't you see that stupid look when you just killed someone?" Ling Xiao complained with a smile.
Lu Yun glared at Ling Xiao.
"Okay, now that this is the time, he should get some closure for the past." Lu Xingchen asked Feixue to send someone to take He Zhang away.
The remaining three were killed directly by the guards.
Two days later, Master Guo and his men rushed to He County.
Lu Xingchen felt relatively relieved about leaving Jizhou City to Lu Yunfeng.
"Thank you for your help in stabilizing He County." Lu Xingchen went out of the city to welcome Master Guo into the county seat of He County.
"Your Excellency the Governor is too polite." Master Guo was in a good mood, waving the bamboo fan in his hand and striding forward.
He looked left and right, and said to Lu Xingchen with a smile, "He County is a good county seat!"
"The city wall is so high...it's more stable than Xing County."
Lu Xingchen smiled and nodded, “The foundation of the entire county is pretty good.”
"I want to use this place as a resupply site for now and continue to move forward."
"Come on, let's go back and talk." Master Guo couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Xingchen had already sent someone to arrange a residence for Master Guo, which was still a secluded courtyard behind the He County government office.
He knew that Master Guo liked to live in a quiet place.
His favorite small red clay stove had already been prepared for him.
"The bedding and beds are all new." Lu Xingchen said to Master Guo after entering the yard.
"Lao Guo doesn't care about these things, as long as he has a place to sleep."
"But the governor is thoughtful. This place looks really nice."
Master Guo was very satisfied and sat on the recliner.
This lounge chair used to belong to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi is already dead, but Master Guo doesn't care about that.
The servant had already lit the small stove and was boiling tea.
Lu Xingchen sat down, not in a hurry, and waited for the tea to be prepared. The two of them talked while drinking tea.
She put the map in the car.
"There are still three small counties left in Beiyongzhou. I plan to take them all down in one fell swoop when I go out in the next few days." Lu Xingchen said, pointing to a few black dots on the drawing.
Due to the limitations of space and time, the system can give her fewer and fewer golden fingers.
This time he captured Hexian, extended her life by three months, and gave her a woodblock printing press.
This woodblock printing press used movable type.
Lu Xingchen has not taken it out of the space yet.
He knew that conquering the world required not only military strength but also propaganda.
Movable type printing plays a huge role in propaganda.
However, paper was still a very precious thing in this era.
Papermaking skills also need to be improved. I hope that when she conquers a county, she can be rewarded with a simple set of papermaking techniques.
She had to make her achievements known widely within the area under her jurisdiction.
She had to let the people remember that it was her, Lu Xingchen's, hard work that enabled them to live a happy and healthy life.
Only in this way can the people's hearts be with her.
In special times, personality cult is very necessary.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. This is an eternal truth.
"If we take over these counties, the entire North Yongzhou will be our territory."
"After all, Bei Yongzhou nominally belongs to the imperial court. Do you want to say hello to the emperor?" Master Guo looked at Lu Xingchen and said.
Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "I think so too."
"I'll just go by myself this time." Lu Xingchen said.
"Is it a little too risky?" Master Guo was a little worried.
If the emperor wanted to plot against her, it would be too dangerous to detain Lu Xingchen in the capital.
Lu Xingchen smiled and shook his head, "No, the emperor is short of talents now."
"I decided to bring more things this time and say they are taxes paid to him by He County."
"The emperor will surely be happy."
"As the emperor, can he let me go with something and return empty-handed?"
"I want both fame and benefits." Lu Xingchen raised a sly smile at the corner of his lips.
Master Guo laughed out loud.
"Since the Lord Governor has a plan, let's do it."
This is why Lu Xingchen likes Master Guo.
Although there is an age gap between them, their ideas are always in sync.
It is a happy thing to work with someone who always shares the same ideas as you.
"I see you brought Zhou Yuru here this time." Lu Xingchen looked at Master Guo and asked.
"Well, this girl is good. She is thoughtful and serious about her work. Most importantly, she is ruthless." Master Guo's eyes were full of admiration.
"You are all much better than the last batch."
"We are leeks, one batch after another." Lu Xingchen said.
Master Guo laughed heartily. "Watching you grow up from little kids to being full of energy and thriving, I feel very happy."
"The situation in He County is good. Let Wei Hu and others accompany you for a drink in the evening, and we will celebrate." Lu Xingchen said happily.
"Okay, then let's kill two sheep tonight. How about roasting the lamb?" Master Guo suddenly felt his mouth watering.
"Of course!" Lu Xingchen nodded with a smile.
"If you think Zhou Yuru is good, leave her here when the situation in He County stabilizes."
"Give her a chance and see if she can take on the responsibility."
Master Guo nodded and said, "I'll tell that little girl what you said. She will definitely be very happy."
Lu Xingchen and Master Guo chatted about family matters for a while before getting up and leaving.
Master Guo did not rest before dinner and began to take over the affairs of He County from Lu Feng.
Of course, He County cannot be compared with Jizhou.
Master Guo came with his men and was familiar with the situation, so he took over the task quickly.
The military force also expanded rapidly.
"General, we now have 4,500 soldiers and horses." Zhang Fan said excitedly.
They came out this time to train their troops.
Three thousand guards were left in Jizhou City.
This training session yielded considerable results.
In terms of personal ability, both Pei Jun and Tang Yi are much stronger than Prefect Kang and others.
So, they have some good young soldiers under their command.
Lu Xingchen smiled and nodded in agreement, "First, organize the new recruits together. After they have actual combat experience, we will mix them with the veterans."
This is Lu Xingchen's usual strategy for leading troops.
We cannot divide new recruits and old soldiers so clearly.
Because everyone is biased, once the new recruits and old soldiers are separated, people's hearts will tend to favor the part they like.
For a general, this is the biggest taboo.
Therefore, after a period of training, the new recruits will be mixed with the veterans.
This can not only give young soldiers a positive motivation, but also break the generals' partiality mentality.
As long as the squad leader and company commander are stable, it will be easy to lead the troops.
"We have been practicing these days." Zhang Fan said.
"Well, we'll take them out for actual combat tomorrow." Lu Xingchen said.
