Chapter 376 Return to Haicheng
Early the next morning, Xu Changqing came to Li Jialin, more than ten miles away from the city, and worshiped the tomb of Li Shizhong, the old Taishan.
Li Shizhong's tomb is not big. Even though he is Li Chengliang's legitimate grandson and Li Rusong's legitimate son, his scale is not as large as many Li family's side branches, and even the stone tablets are terrible.
Last night, Ma Ke also talked about this matter to Xu Changqing. All of this was Li Shizhong's own request, and everything was kept low and simple.
This made Xu Changqing feel a little moved.
In life, the most difficult thing is to see yourself clearly.
Just like the famous saying in later generations: "Accept your own ordinaryness and accept your own children's ordinaryness..."
Although Li Shizhong does not have the glory of his father and grandfather, at least he understands himself, this is something that countless people are difficult for them to do.
Not far away, Xiu'er felt a little aggrieved when she was paying regular worship for the tomb, but her heart was filled with warmth.
Last night, her poor little butt was almost opened by Xu Changqing. How aggrieved it would be. But at this moment, when she recalled, she suddenly realized that she didn't hate this feeling...
Especially Xu Changqing's teachings to her last night made her understand a lot.
At this time, Xu Changqing pampered her. She seemed to be able to be scruples, but what if she returned to Haicheng? Can she still be scruples?
If you combine, you will benefit from both sides, and if you fight, you will lose both sides!
After thinking about it, Xiu'er also decided that she had to make some changes, even for face.
After all, Bian Yujing had a good relationship with Kou Baimen, Chen Yuanyuan had a good relationship with Gu Hengbo. They all rely on when they arrived in Haicheng, and only Xu Changqing and herself could rely on.
After Xu Changqing finished worshiping, she saw Xiu'er talking and laughing with Bian Yujing and Chen Yuanyuan, but her little body occasionally felt a little twisted, and a slight curve appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth.
Although Xiu'er has many problems, she has many wonderful things. Fortunately, she is not too stupid. Otherwise, if she is so stubborn, even Xu Changqing would not bother paying attention to her.
...
The seaside fleet had been staying at Shanhaiguan for nearly half a month, and Xu Changqing and his group arrived here at noon.
There were not many ships in the fleet, only five large ships and seven or eight small ships. Xu Changqing was accustomed to it, but in the eyes of Xiuer, Bian Yujing and Chen Yuanyuan, it seemed like he had discovered a new world.
This is the first time they have seen such a huge ship!
In comparison, the flower boats in the Qinhuai River are like little brothers...
The three girls also felt Xu Changqing's strength more deeply at this time, and at the same time, they couldn't help but look forward to Haicheng.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the three girls became much more harmonious, Xu Changqing was too lazy to pay attention to them. After he called them on the boat, he began to deal with the government affairs that had been backlogged for a long time.
At this time, the population settlement of Haicheng was facing severe tests.
It’s not that there is not enough land and it’s difficult to distribute. In fact, the land controlled by Xu Changqing now has not only been more than enough to resettle the hundreds of thousands of people, but also has a large amount of surplus.
The question is how to place it?!
The entrance to the Qing army this time had a huge impact on both the Political Affairs Office and the people!
Shandong Zuo Xiezhi underground, basically all of which are plains, and there is no danger to guard. It is easy to place these people, but if they finally build a family business, what should the Tartars enter the pass again?
Xu Changqing also thought about this issue.
If you are in Denglai, you will definitely not have these troubles. The hinterland of Denglai not only has many cities to guard, but also has a continuous island and a huge depth, which can maximize the advantages of Xu Changqing and the Model Army.
But in Shandong Zuohui, everything must be more comprehensive, and a complete crisis response plan.
What Xu Changqing can do now is to grasp the surrounding area of Haicheng, especially the east bank of the Daqing River, relying on natural ones.

Geographical advantages make it a safe zone to first keep your heart stable.
However, during this period, Xu Changqing has been inquiring about the situation in Denglai and has also collected a lot of useful information.
Although Denglai's administrative level was not high in later generations, in the Ming Dynasty, it was a core fortress and a governor level.
There are many historical reasons for this. The logistics system that supplied Dongjiang at that time was one of the core, and the more important thing was its unique geographical location advantage.
If the wheel of history continues to develop according to the original trajectory, then the position of Denglai will be further improved, and it can even be called the core lifeline of the five thousand miles of rivers and mountains. It is really something that can be attacked and retreated and defended!
But at this time, Dongjiang is already a thing of the past. Over the years, both the political ecology and the commercial ecology of Denglai have been very chaotic and have a lot of room for operation.
To put it bluntly, Dongjiang is gone, Denglai has also lost the biggest oil and water, and no one has ever "floating".
At this time, it is not comparable to later generations. Denglai has highly developed second-tier and quasi-second-tier cities such as Yantai, Island City, and Weihai. Compared with other places, Denglai's business atmosphere is pretty good, but it is not very large. Not to mention Shanxi merchants, it is even incomparable to Shandong merchants.
Moreover, the diseases that Kong Youde left behind during the rebellion of Shandong were not only many bandits, but also many pirates.
Including after the rise of the Qing army, the Liao people fled across the sea, which also left many hidden dangers.
In addition to the heavy and complicated Weishu system.
However, these problems are not only impossible to solve, but are constantly entangled with these turbulent flows. The people at the bottom are not the same as the people are living in poverty.
This gives Xu Changqing a lot of room for operation!
At this time, although the refugee army in the northwest seemed docile and the Qing army had temporarily lost movement, Xu Changqing understood very well that these two gangs were gathering their strength to the death. If the people on both sides did not move, they would be shocked and the sky would collapse!
Other places, Xu Changqing was out of reach and could not use his strength, but Xu Changqing must take it steadily!
...
It is much more comfortable to ride a boat than to ride a horse.
In less than two days, Xiu'er, Bian Yujing and Chen Yuanyuan had just adapted to the rhythm of seasickness and were about to take a good look at the scenery by the sea, but he had already arrived at the place.
"Congratulations to Mr. Uncle on his triumphant return!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Uncle on his triumphant return—"
"Brother, Duke, Wandae!"
"My uncle lives for a hundred years..."
At the dock, the Political Affairs Office had already prepared a grand welcome ceremony, which was as large as tens of thousands of people. When they saw Xu Changqing's fleet arrive, the already excited crowd instantly became excited.
Xu Changqing has long been accustomed to this rhythm. This kind of thing seems to be a waste of money and money, but at this time, appropriate personality cult is necessary. On this core issue, whether it is the Political Affairs Office or Xu Changqing's back house, especially Xu Changqing's mother Yang, they are tacitly aware of it.
But Xiu'er and her three daughters were so scared that their legs became a little weak.
They have seen a series of events in Shanhaiguan, but compared to what Mako made in Shanhaiguan, it was simply a pediatric department!
As Xu Changqing got off the ship with a heroic look, the atmosphere reached its peak instantly.
The three daughters Xiu'er and Xu Changqing, who had been following closely behind, began to gradually adapt to this atmosphere, and felt honored.
"I have met the Grand Marshal!"
On the shore of the flat and atmospheric pier paved with bluestone, the Political Affairs Office was led by Li Yan, Yang Zhongliang, Zhang Hongqiang and others, and the military was led by Zhao Zengjin, Xu Xiu and others. There were hundreds of people on both sides of the military and political circles, and a large area of "crow" fell to his knees.
Xu Changqing went forward enthusiastically, hugging and greeting them one by one.
Xiu'er, Bian Yujing and Chen Yuanyuan were watching quietly not far away.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
They are not ordinary people.
Especially those military generals, their fierce auras were almost bursting out.
But soon, all the three girls saw it. Not far from these officials, there were several simple but wide carriages, but quiet was guarded by countless guards and the people.
In front of the carriage, several beauties who looked simple but were extremely graceful and had big belly, were watching and joking, while surrounding a noble lady in blue robe.
But the lady in blue robe seemed to be joking with the beauties around her, but her tears could no longer be controlled.
The three girls looked at each other and were silent indescribably.
There is no need to introduce it at all, it's so easy to distinguish.
The lady in blue robe must be Xu Changqing's biological mother, the legendary Mrs. Yang.
And beside Yang, the graceful and elegant woman in white, was naturally Xu Changqing's wife, the legendary eldest daughter of the Li family.
Although they had passed Xu Changqing's level at this time, they could have entered the Xu family. However, if they wanted to truly enter the Xu family and become the real Xu family, they had to nod the graceful and elegant lady of the Li family!
At this time, Xu Changqing finished greetings with important officials from both the military and political parties, hurriedly smiled and rushed towards Yang, Li Youwei, Gu Hengbo and others, and knelt down in front of Yang: "Unfilial son Changqing, kowtow to you, mother."
"You little brat, you still know how to come back. Get up quickly, get up quickly..."
Even though Yang had long been used to big scenes, it was her first experience of this scene. She wanted to show off her mother's airs in front of Xu Changqing, but she was afraid that her baby son would be ugly, so she quickly helped Xu Changqing up.
After Xu Changqing and Yang finished their greetings, they hugged Li Youwei's daughters one by one, and the cheers of the people around them reached a new peak.
However, this will be the beginning of this welcoming ceremony.
The female family members such as Yang and Li Youwei were asked to go to the carriage to rest first, and Xu Changqing climbed onto the platform that had been prepared long ago, and handed over the loudspeaker carefully developed by the military weapon workshop, and delivered enthusiastic speeches to the tens of thousands of people.
The main purpose is to make the people feel at ease, miss the past, look forward to the future, so that everyone can better form cohesion, and treat Shandong Zuohui as a real home.
In this regard, Xu Changqing had already been familiar with it. He didn't need a manuscript at all and just talked for half an hour. The people were so excited that they heard the people were cheering and cheering.
Finally, Xu Changqing announced that Haicheng had a three-day banquet, and everyone had a share, which immediately set the atmosphere to the best of the times.
Arriving at the wharf from Chen hour and working until noon, Xu Changqing was able to get out and get on the carriage back home.
Of course, the carriage is naturally the same carriage as Li Youwei.
When she left, Li Youwei had not yet shown her conceit. At this time, a few months later, her lower abdomen had already been bulging and her pretty face had become much plump.
Although it is still a little immature, the holy maternal brilliance cannot be concealed.
"Youwei, I'm not here these days, thank you for your hard work."
In the carriage, Xu Changqing held Li Youwei's jade hand hard, feeling affectionate.
Li Youwei's pretty face suddenly turned red, "Xu Lang, these days have gone well in Beijing, right?"
Seeing that Li Youwei did not talk about Xiu'er and three daughters, Xu Changqing also relaxed a lot and hurriedly smiled and talked about the mountains with Li Youwei from all over the world.
Even when he reached the door of the official hall, Xu Changqing thought that Li Youwei had forgotten this matter, and was smiling and preparing to take Li Youwei out of the car for dinner. However, Li Youwei suddenly smiled and said, "Xu Lang, those three beauties, how are you going to arrange it?"
"Forehead……"
Xu Changqing stood there immediately.
