Zhang Shaozong led Bai Xiuzhen back to Wuling City. When they entered the city gate, the soldiers on guard saw Zhang Shaozong and immediately stood up and saluted.
"Everyone has worked hard."
Zhang Shaozong had a gentle attitude and tried his best to smile.
However, this sentence caused all the soldiers to shout at the top of their lungs as if they had been given blood.
"It's not hard to work for the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Shaozong smiled and said nothing more, leading Bai Yuzhen into the city holding the oil paper.
Compared with last year, Wuling City this year is more lively, prosperous and orderly. Unlike before, you can easily see people fighting or even fighting on the streets. Gangs and cliques are everywhere.
But since Zhang Shaozong took control of Wuling last year, he has carried out several successive waves of severe crackdowns and killed a large number of evil forces. The entire Wuling has become harmonious and orderly. Even the second-rates have disappeared and they dare not jump around in the streets.
They were afraid that if the patrolling police saw someone who didn't like it, they would arrest them and have them repaired and renovated.
Only good social order can promote the prosperity and development of society. Now Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an under Zhang Shaozong have almost achieved this. In addition, Zhang Shaozong's policy of reclaiming land from landlords and distributing it to the people to encourage agricultural farming and reduce taxes is now the whole
Wuling, Taoyuan and Jiu'an all showed a rare scene of harmony, prosperity and prosperity.
Especially when comparing Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an with other places across the country, the gap is even more obvious.
Even the landlords and gentry in Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an who were originally unhappy with Zhang Shaozong because of Zhang Shaozong's land reclamation began to slowly accept Zhang Shaozong, because although Zhang Shaozong made them lose their land, as the entire environment changed
With stable development, their business has become better, and because of the stability of Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an, more and more outsiders are slowly attracted to do business here, which further promotes the entire
economic development.
Even since the beginning of the new year, many people from other places have begun to come to Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an to settle down. Mainly because Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an have good public security, political clarity, and social stability.
Such an environment, and in today's troubled times, is naturally attractive.
Because of this, Zhang Shaozong's prestige is getting higher and higher.
Zhang Shaozong led Bai Yuzhen as he walked through the street. People called him along the way, with a kind of respect from the bottom of their hearts. Zhang Shaozong also smiled and nodded in response, with an easy-going attitude. Since returning to Wuling at the beginning of the year,
, because Zhang Shaozong often went shopping with Bai Yuzhen, Ningshuang or Bai Xiuzhu, people in Wuling City gradually became familiar with Zhang Shaozong, so now Zhang Shaozong is often called to greet him when he goes on the street, and Zhang Shaozong does not show off, but
There are too many people to respond, so I just smile and nod.
"Zhang Shuai is so young. He is really young and promising."
"Not only is he young and promising, he is also handsome."
"If any girl falls in love with Zhang Shuai and marries him, it will be like smoke rising from the ancestral grave."
"I'll go back and burn more smoke at my ancestral grave to see if Zhang Shuai can like my daughter."
"People say that none of the current warlords and commanders are good people. They are all common people. Now it seems that they are not all good. I think Zhang Shuai is quite good."
"No, having Zhang Shuai here is really a blessing for us Wuling people. Thinking about Sun Shangtian before, compared with Zhang Shuai, it's like heaven and earth. Sun Shangtian died a good death."
When Zhang Shaozong walked past with Bai Yuzhen in hand, the crowd behind him also began to discuss. There was a kind of respect that could not be concealed in their words. They, the common people, have the best understanding of whether a superior person can govern the place well.
Those who have the most say are not sure whether Zhang Shaozong's governance is good for others, but for ordinary people, they can be 100% sure that it is definitely good.
"The one beside Zhang Shuai must be the handsome lady. She is so beautiful, just like a fairy walking out of a painting."
"That's right, this should be the eldest lady of the Marshal's Mansion, her surname is Bai. In addition, Zhang Shuai also has two wives, one of whom is also surnamed Bai, who is younger, and the other is Zhang Shuai's junior sister, both of whom are as beautiful as flowers.
Zhang Shuai has three wives in total, and Zhang Shuai often goes shopping with them."
"..."
Bai Yuzhen and Zhang Shaozong were walking together. Listening to the discussion behind them, they couldn't help but look at Zhang Shaozong and smile.
"You are becoming more and more popular in the hearts of the people."
"Then it proves that my governance is not wrong. This is a good thing. Otherwise, instead of loving me, the people will curse me as a thief or a grandson."
Zhang Shaozong smiled when he heard this.
"Giggle...."
Bai Yuzhen couldn't help but feel happy after hearing Zhang Shaozong's words, and was amused by Zhang Shaozong and laughed.
After a while, after walking through the busy city, the two came to a high wall with a red gate in the city, close to the Marshal's Mansion. It looked like it was in front of the mansion of a wealthy family. The plaque on the door of the mansion read the three big characters "Bai Yaju".
The two servants guarding the door immediately bowed and shouted when they saw Zhang Shaozong.
"Zhang Shuai!" "Zhang Shuai!"
These are the servants of the Bai family brought by Bai Xiuzhu. After confirming their relationship with him on Maoshan Mountain, Bai Xiuzhu also brought some people from the Bai family with him to Wuling, and this mansion is where Bai Xiuzhu came to Wuling.
The house purchased also brought part of the Bai family's industrial business to develop here. With Zhang Shaozong's care and support, the Bai family's business has now established a foothold here, and at the same time, it also cooperates with Zhang Shaozong's clothing business.
The factory cooperated.
As for the clothing factory under Zhang Shaozong, it can be said that it has become famous all over Hunan. During this period, some counterfeit goods appeared, but they were quickly crushed by Zhang Shaozong's army.
"Is Xiuzhu here?"
Zhang Shaozong nodded to the two of them and asked.
"Here, Miss Ningshuang is also here. I will go and inform Zhang Shuai right away."
"No, we can just go in by ourselves."
Zhang Shaozong smiled, signaled no need, and walked into the door with Bai Yuzhen.
As soon as he entered the door, he met Zhou Fu who came over after hearing the sound.
"Zhang Shuai, Miss Bai."
Seeing the two of them, Zhou Fu also hurriedly saluted and shouted, especially looking at Zhang Shaozong, he was even more respectful. When he and Bai Xiuzhu brought people to Wuling before, he didn't know Zhang Shaozong's specific status in Wuling, but
After arriving here, I discovered that Zhang Shaozong was actually the commander-in-chief here and the top warlord force in the entire Hunan region. He had tens of thousands of troops under his command and controlled the three places of Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an. The key is that he managed it in an orderly manner and felt safe.
Loved by the people.
And with the protection of Zhang Shaozong, they are more comfortable here than ever before. They are even more comfortable than when they were in the Bai family before, because even in the Bai family before, there were still many forces and people that the Bai family could not afford to offend.
, but after coming to Wuling, Zhang Shaozong is the king. As long as Zhang Shaozong is taking care of them in the three places of Wuling, Taoyuan and Jiu'an, no one dares to offend them.
"I don't know that when Zhang Shuai and Miss Bai arrive, they are far away..."
After calling the person, Zhou Fu said politely again and again.
"Uncle Fu, you're welcome. We are all one family, no need to be polite..."
"Yes, we are all one family."
When Zhou Fu heard Zhang Shaozong's words, the smile on his face became even brighter, and then he said again.
"Miss and Miss Ningshuang are in the backyard garden. I will take Zhang Shuai and Miss Bai there."
Not long after, Zhang Shaozong saw Bai Xiuzhu and Ningshuang doing embroidery together in the backyard garden of Bai Yaju. From a distance, they looked like a pair of young and charming sisters.
"Shaozong."
"Senior brother."
The two of them immediately noticed the arrival of Zhang Shaozong and Bai Yuzhen. When they saw Zhang Shaozong, their expressions lit up and they screamed with joy, and then they looked at Bai Yuzhen.
"Sister Bai."
"Sister Shuang'er, sister Xiuzhu."
Bai Yuzhen also smiled sweetly at the two girls. It seemed that their relationship was very harmonious and harmonious. The reason for all this can be traced back to a month ago.
But it was a month ago in February, after returning, that by chance, Zhang Shaozong failed to control time well and did not manage time well. After all, he did not reach the level of a time management master, causing the three women to crash.
At that time, Zhang Shaozong was almost scared to death, especially because he was worried that Bai Yuzhen would go on a rampage, which could kill people. Fortunately, what Zhang Shaozong was most worried about did not happen. Bai Yuzhen did not go on a rampage and cause bloodshed, nor did she stage a Shura scene.
After promising Bai Yuzhen's eternal palace position and coaxing Ningshuang to settle down, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. As for Bai Xiuzhu, she made Zhang Shaozong worry-free from beginning to end. Now the three women have initially achieved peaceful coexistence.
Among the three girls, Ningshuang has a very close relationship with Bai Xiuzhu.
Now Zhang Shaozong can be considered completely relieved, and finally he no longer has to worry about his family being overturned.
"What are you embroidering?"
Bai Yuzhen put away her oil-paper umbrella and walked towards the two girls in the pavilion, while Zhou Fu looked at Zhang Shaozong again.
"Zhang Shuai, I'll let the kitchen prepare the food. Why don't we eat here tonight?"
"good."
Zhang Shaozong did not refuse immediately and nodded. Anyway, to him, Bai Yaju's place was no different from his own home. It was not where he ate dinner.
Immediately, Zhang Shaozong and Bai Yuzhen stayed with Bai Yaju until dinner was finished in the evening.
At the same time, an urgent secret report was quickly sent from Xiangxi to Wuling.
