Now the two of them sleep on the same kang, of course there is the "Chu River and Han Realm" in the middle, and both of them are "generals and elephant guards".

Li Luo has always been honest when he sleeps, but Cui Xiuning is not. It is not once or twice that he crosses the river in violation of regulations.

Of course, she may not know.

Considering that someone must have wished the Duzhai New Year to the next morning, Li Luo got up very early.

When Li Luo arrived at the yard, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The two of them stood at the gate of the yard with their swords and bows on their backs. Their bodies were covered with snowflakes, like two guards, as if they had been standing overnight.

"Wanyan Falcon!" Li Luo shouted.

One of them shook, responded quickly, and said, "Did you get up so early?"

The other person is Yan Tong, who is Wutu's son, so he quickly bowed.

Li Luo couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you doing?"

Yan Jun said: "Uncle Li is everyone's hope, and his wife is like a god. Besides, there is a lot of money in this yard. Yan Tong and I are afraid that there will be harm to others, so we come to watch."

Yan Jun was originally unwilling to call Uncle Li Luo, but he felt that Li Luo was no older than him. However, during this period, Li Luo was very generous to them for a few dollars, grain, wine and meat, and took good care of their family, allowing them to have a good year. He was also very grateful and felt that Li Luo would not treat the Jurchens unfairly.

Li Luo was a little moved and asked, "Is your father who asked you to come?"

Yan Tongdao: "That's not the case, but my father and his father both agree with it."

Yan Jun said again: "Tonight, Brother Hu Gu and Brother Guangxia will take care of us on our side and stay until the third year of junior high school."

Hu Gu and Guangxia are also Jurchens. In addition, Yan Jun and Yan Tong are the four people who are most familiar and trusted by Li Luo among the village heroes. Only the four of them are Li Luo, who are divided into straight swords and bows.

Li Luo shook his head and said, "It's cold and it's New Year's Eve again, why do you need this?"

Yan Jun suddenly thought of something and asked, "Uncle Li, how did you know that my name is Wanyan Jun?"

They are currently all surnamed Yan!

Li Luo said: "I know more than you imagined, so why is that strange? I also know that you two are not members of the Jin Dynasty, but father Yan Duo is a member of the royal family."

"How did your uncle know?" Wanyan Tong was also a little surprised. His father and the wolf master would not talk nonsense about these things.

Many people think that the surname Wanyan is the royal family of the Jin Kingdom. In fact, it is not the case. Only a few surnames Wanyan are the royal family.

Because Wanyan is the name of the tribe, everyone in the tribe's surname is Wanyan, but the royal family of the Jin Dynasty also came from this tribe.

The Wanyan tribe has thus become the core basic base of the Jin Dynasty and is more loyal than other Jurchen tribes. So now the remaining Jurchens have become slaves to the Mongols, but there are still many people in the Wanyan tribe who fled to Liaodong and Goryeo and are unwilling to surrender.

If he received the support of the remaining forces of Wanyan's tribe, Li Luo's plan would be much smoother. Otherwise, why did he deliberately win over the Jurchens?

After all, the Jurchens had long been Chinese, and regarded themselves as the remains of the Central Plains. They were not uncomfortable to use and were far more reliable than the Koreans.

Li Luo was not afraid of the Jurchens' backlash. Most of the Jurchens were massacred by Mongolia, and a small number became slaves. Nowadays, the Jurchens are still considered free, with a maximum of tens of thousands of men, women, young and old. If they can gather thousands of soldiers, they will be at the top.

This is enough to help Li Luo, but it is impossible to make a comeback and build a big gold again.

Although there were only a few thousand people when Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda started his army, it was only the power of the Wanyan tribe. At that time, the entire Jurchen clan could send out 100,000 elite soldiers. Without the later joining of the Jurchen tribes, could Aguda really succeed with 8,000 people?

Li Luo did not answer Wanyan Fox's question, but just pretended to be a profound smile.

At this time, Cui Xiuning, who heard the movement, woke up and left the room in her coat.

"Madam, I wish you a happy new year!"

Wanyan Falcon Wanyan saluted with a smile.

"It's cold outside, hurry up and go into the house and cook the fire!" Cui Xiuning likes these two teenagers very much.

Several people entered the house, and Cui Xiuning took out two silos of copper coins, "This is New Year's money, and you can't let you wish you all in vain."

The two of them refused and had to put it away.

Cui Xiuning heated up the remaining dumplings last night like a housewife. As soon as the few people finished eating, the village officials came to pay New Year's greetings one after another. Everyone brought gift boxes and said compliments and joyful words.

Because Li Luo took the lead in lending at low interest rates, each of them also gave up dozens of low interest rates. The village officials naturally felt resentful. But they had to follow, and no one dared to come forward to raise trouble.

It's very simple, because Duzhai holds the appointment and removal power of the village chief. If Li Luo dislikes anyone, he can immediately change the person. At worst, he can go to the county magistrate's office afterwards. Of course, the county magistrate will not refute the face of Duzhai for a village chief.

Li Luoan was happy, it was good to be an official. It was only a long time since then, and it was a gift worth tens of thousands of times.

Shortly after the village officials came to pay New Year's greetings, there was a noise outside. Wanyan Jun Wanyan Tong immediately went out to check with his knife.

When everyone went out, they saw that it was dark, with two or three hundred people, all of them nearby.

As soon as Li Luo came out, a large group of people knelt down and shouted: "Greetings to the adult lady, it's a good New Year, Smida!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Simida!"

...

Zhongcun was watching this scene in a daze, all of whom were envious.

They have never seen this scene before! Hundreds of villagers came to pay New Year's greetings spontaneously.

This is the people's expectations!

How long has it been? Lidu Village has such a popular hope.

With this public hope, Li Luo will definitely be promoted in the future. Where will he take?

Li Luo was very calm. What kind of people's expectations? As long as you treat the people a little better and give up some benefits, you can get the so-called people's expectations.

Of course, it is useful to support people, but it is not worthy of your trust!

Only strength can be truly reliable.

Li Luo raised his hand, "Everyone is free, thank you for your kindness! I am here to wish you all the 8,000 fellow villagers in Mani Township, wishing you good weather this year, no prosperity, every family will have a good harvest, and every household will have more than surplus!"

"Thank you, Lord Duzhai!" Hundreds of people bowed again.

…………

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the third day of the first lunar month, the construction site became lively again.

After nearly ten days of construction by hundreds of people, the inner courtyard that Li Luo asked to build first has been completed.

The inner courtyard is the core area, covering an area of ​​nearly two acres and is divided into two independent areas. Three-quarters of the east side are the home of the owner, including nearly 30 houses, halls, warehouses, bathrooms, kitchens, and miscellaneous rooms.

The other half acre area is a porcelain courtyard. A total of five porcelain kilns, five warehouses and workshops are built, which is where Li Luo fires bone porcelain. Bone porcelain technology is of great importance and can only be placed under his nose.

It seems that at most, the inner courtyard will be completed by the tenth day of the lunar month. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning can move in first.

Sure enough, on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Changsun Sanfu reported that the inner courtyard had been completed.

That night, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning finally moved to their new home.

The place is big enough and grand enough, but it has not yet begun to "carved beams and painted roads" and there is no furniture, so it looks empty and monotonous.

However, the two of them were already very satisfied with being able to move in so soon. Not to mention anything else, this inner courtyard is at least much safer than the previous courtyard.

The two lived in a suite, Cui Xiuning lived in the interior and Li Luo lived outside. Those who didn't know thought they lived in the same room. The reason why they did not live separately was of course because outsiders suspected their relationship.

The room outside the suite was originally a "secretary room" that the servants summoned at any time to serve the master. But Li Luo didn't care at all. Anyway, there were no servants now.

All the food and food supplies were transported here and stored in a nearby warehouse. Even two cows were led to the porcelain courtyard.

Cui Xiuning did not forget her "police fox". The four foxes and sons also moved into the "kennel".

On the same day that Li Luo moved into his new home, Liu Chengzun from the Liu family also called Dong Ge to Liu's mansion, and when they met, they scolded him.

"Old, what did you do? I asked you to spread that news a year ago, why didn't the news spread today? Well?!"

Although Dong Ge was frightened, he had already had the countermeasures given by Cui Xiuning and said, "I have to report this to my husband, but recently my husband went to the city to pay New Year's greetings to friends, so he was very busy, so he was very reluctant to give in."

Liu Chengqian rarely stayed at home during the Spring Festival, and he had too many social engagements, so he was very busy.

"you say!"

Liu Chengqin shouted.

"When the minor official got the news, Li Luo seemed to be looking forward to the pirates attack, so that he could make meritorious and promotion in one go! Wouldn't the minor official have helped him if he spread rumors?" Dong Ge said.

"What!" Liu Chengzun didn't believe it, "He is a mob, and he doesn't even have weapons. How can he fight against pirates? Where did he get the confidence? Could he be an idiot? You dare to bully me!"

Spreading rumors was to attract pirates to steal Li Luo, but now Dong Ge told him that Li Luo actually wanted the pirates to come. If this is the case, then we can't spread rumors anymore, otherwise it would have been helpful to Li Luo?

However, Liu Chengzun did not believe Dong Ge's remarks, and his narrow eyes were full of doubts and coldness.
Chapter completed!
