The industrial and agricultural construction of Lujiazhuang is still advancing in an orderly manner.

The workshop area on the bank of the Jing River is also constantly adding equipment, the purchased coal is starting to be coked in the yard, and various ore raw materials are also continuously transported in.

During this time, Lu Li spent money like water.

Fortunately, the box of pearls brought back from the Wang family is really valuable.With Lu Li's huge investment, he still hasn't spent half of it.

The workshop progressed smoothly, and Lu Li also took time out to visit Jinshanwei.

On this day, Lu Li wore a brand-new Baihu official uniform and a waist badge, and rode a majestic Arabian war horse all the way to Jinshanwei.

Yunjian Township was not far from Jinshanwei. In less than an hour, Lu Li arrived at Jinshanwei's residence.

This is a military town called Jinshan Acropolis!

In terms of design, this is a typical ancient military fortress, used to suppress rebellion, protect the place, and resist foreign enemies.

The idea is good, but... the Jinshanwei today is not the Jinshanwei in the early Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers in the guards became serfs, and they worked hard all year round to farm the land, and they couldn't guarantee enough food and clothing.As for military training... what is that?You can't even get enough to eat, so why bother with military training?

Lu Li came here today, in addition to confirming his identity as a hundred households of Jinshanwei, he also wanted to take the first step in transforming Jinshanwei.

After shaking the reins, Lu Li rode his horse and walked towards the gate of Jinshan Weicheng.

When he arrived at the city gate, Lu Li saw a few ragged soldiers with disheveled faces squatting on the side of the gate.

Seeing that Lu Li was wearing an official uniform from hundreds of households and riding a tall horse, the soldiers didn't dare to stop him, so they quickly saluted Lu Li.

"My official, Lu Li, Jinshan Wei Baihu, wants to see the Commander, Mr. Liu."

Lu Li explained his purpose to the soldiers guarding the gate.

"It turned out to be Lord Lu."

A small banner officer who was leading the team quickly stepped forward to salute, "My lord, let me take you there!"

As he said that, the little flag officer led the way ahead and led Lu Li to the commander's yamen of Jinshan Weicheng.

Arriving at the Commander's Yamen, Lu Li got off his horse, handed the reins to the leading flag, walked into the Yamen, and identified himself to the soldiers guarding the gate.

The soldiers hurried in to report.

"Report to Master Liu, Lu Li from the hundred households of Jinshanwei is asking to see you."

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

Liu Bin, commander of Jinshanwei, was taken aback when he heard Lu Li's name and the official position of "Jinshanwei Baihu".

"Lu Li. He said his name is Lu Li."

The soldiers quickly answered.

"Lu Li? Mr. Lu? Hundred households of Jinshanwei?"

Commander Liu frowned, waved his hand at the soldiers, "Tell him to come in."

A moment later, Lu Li walked in wearing a hundred-household official robe with his head held high.

"Sign Lu Li, I have met Commander!"

Upon entering, Lu Li gave a military salute to Liu Bin.

"Lu... Mr. Lu..."

Commander Liu looked at Lu Li who was wearing the official uniform of a hundred households, his eyes widened, and he felt unconfident, "Young Master Lu, you... how did you become a Jinshan Guard with a hundred households?"

For scholars like you, the official position of Jinshanwei Baihu is an insult.

You even put on an official uniform?He even came to Jinshanwei to report?He even saluted me?

This... What the hell is going on here?

"The Japanese pirates were wiped out in the previous period, and 23 levels of heads were beheaded. They were rewarded by the Emperor Mengwu and awarded the title of Jinshanwei Hundred Households."

Lu Li saluted Liu Bin again.

"Oh, I see!"

Commander Liu Bin suddenly realized this, and said with a smile: "Young master Lu, you...you made a mistake. This kind of reward is a false title, and you don't need to be appointed."

"Your Majesty didn't say that I would not be allowed to take office!"

Of course, Lu Li knew that this was a false title, not a real job, just like the titles of "Honorary Doctor" and "Honorary President" in later generations, it was just a name.

Everyone knows that it is by name, but... there is no expressly stipulated that you can't do things with false titles!

Lu Li, the official of the Hundred Households of Jinshanwei, did not say that he is not allowed to work in Jinshanwei!

"This... this..."

Commander Liu didn't know what to say.You are a scholar, it is said that you are still the head of the trial in Huating County, you don’t take the imperial examination, you hang out with us Qiu Ba, what is the situation?

"Mr. Lu, the current Jinshan Guard has full quotas of officers, and there is no gap. Even if you want to become one of the hundred households, I have nowhere to arrange it!"

Liu Bin said so in his mouth, but secretly slandered him in his heart.Give you a false title, and you will come to work.Those who sealed off hundreds and thousands of households in Jinyiwei at birth, didn't you see them go to work?

If all false titles had to be honored, the official positions of the Ming Dynasty would have long been insufficient.

"Master Liu, actually... I just came here to ask for a name."

Lu Li directly opened up and said, "I still have some land in Yunjian Township. Isn't there a decree to replace the fields with mulberry trees? I just want to use the name of Jinshanwei to prevent all the land in my family from being replaced with mulberry trees."

"Is that so?"

Commander Liu Bin nodded, and said, "Of course it's okay to give a name. But...the Jinshanwei brand doesn't ring well, and I'm afraid it won't stand up to it."

"It's just a matter of borrowing a name. As long as the teacher is famous and can't be stopped, then it's another story."

Military officers are scumbags, and no one takes Jinshanwei's name seriously.However, Lu Li only needs to be famous, and the rest depends on his strength.

Although I am ready to kill the new magistrate, but... kill one, can't I replace it with another one?Do you keep killing like this?

Therefore, it is useful to get the name of Jinshanwei.

"In that case, it's easy to say!"

Commander Liu nodded with a smile, "Mr. Lu, in the name of Commander Jinshanwei, I set up the Yunjian Hundred Households Office in Yunjian Township. You will lead the Yunjian Hundred Households Office as an official of the Hundred Households. The station is Lujiazhuang How about it?"

"Thank you, Lord Liu!"

Lu Li bowed to Liu Bin to salute.This Yunjian Hundred Households House is located in Lujiazhuang, which is simply too suitable.

"By the way, you, Yunjian Baihusuo, are under the command of Qianhu Tong Zhilin. Everyone is friendly and it is convenient to do things."

Commander Liu wrote a document to Lu Kai while talking.

After the document is written, it will be stamped with the seal of the Commander of Jinshanwei. This is a regular military order.

After receiving this document, Lu Li gave Commander Liu a small box containing a string of pearls, which was a mutual benefit.

After leaving the commander's office, Lu Li took back his flattery and rushed all the way to Tong Zhilin's Qianhu Office.

Tong Zhilin's Qianhu Office is located in Zhujing Township.

Compared with Jinshan Acropolis, Tong Zhilin's Qianhusuo is much shabby, it looks like a dilapidated cottage.

Walking into the Zhujing Qianhu Office, Tong Zhilin saw Lu Li dressed as a military officer from a hundred households, and opened his mouth in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Lu... Mr. Lu, you... what's going on?"

Tong Zhilin stammered and asked Lu Li.

"Mark down the Hundred Households Office in Yunjian, the official of the Hundred Households, Luli, and I have met Lord Qianhu!"

Lu Li solemnly paid a military salute to Tong Zhilin.

"This... this... what's going on?"

Tong Zhilin was still in a daze, completely confused about the situation.

"I am Jinshanwei Baihu, and I am under your command."

Lu Li smiled, and handed over the military order issued by Commander Liu.

Tong Zhilin took over the military order and read it for a while, and it was indeed true, Lu Li was really the Hundred Household Officer of the Hundred Household Office of Yunjian Township.

The problem is...you are a scholar, what kind of Qiuba are you here to be?

"Stop thinking about it!"

Lu Li smiled and waved his hands, "The last time I killed 23 Japanese pirates, I got a false job reward. In order to avoid changing the land to mulberry, I set up a hundred households in Yunjian Township."

"So that's how it is. So it's a false title."

Tong Zhilin let out a sigh, "I was shocked! You are the county's chief trial case, of course you can't come to serve as a soldier!"

"Not always."

Lu Li smiled, and said to Tong Zhilin, "Master Tong, I saw on the way here just now that you haven't finished your spring plowing yet?"

"Don't call me an adult, I dare not pretend to be an adult in front of you."

Tong Zhilin waved his hand, and said, "Chun plowing... don't mention it. Those bastards have no food at home, and they can't bear it. They even ate up the seeds. I have to find a way to buy seeds! It's another big Money. Damn it!"

"Have you eaten all the seeds? It's been less than half a year since I received it last fall? There's no more food?"

Lu Li knew that the soldiers in the guard station were poor, but he didn't expect it to be so poor.

"Last year's harvest was not good, but the money and food that had to be handed over were absolutely indispensable. I even emptied my entire family, and I couldn't support this group of people."

Tong Zhilin's face was full of depression, and he couldn't help sighing.

It seems that Tong Zhilin still has a conscience!

Lu Li nodded slightly, "Are you interested in visiting me? Yunjian Hundred Households, Lord Qianhu, please inspect!"

"Okay! Observe a bird?"

Tong Zhilin rolled his eyes, "It's okay to go to your place for a stroll. In the past two days, even my hair is graying. Let's go to your place to relax!"

Saying that, let people go out together, ride on their horses, and head towards Yunjian Township.

"Fuck! What kind of horse are you?"

Tong Zhilin kept galloping, but was still left behind by Lu Li.

And... Lu Li's horse is tall and majestic, while Tong Zhilin's horse is short and thin, it's like the difference between a tractor and a supercar.

"want to?"

Lu Li slowed down, turned his head and smiled at Tong Zhilin, "I'll give you one later!"

"that would be great!"

Tong Zhilin laughed out loud.

Soon after, the two came to Lujiazhuang together.

Seeing the lush crops on the fields in Lujiazhuang, and the waterwheels and workshops standing on the banks of the Jing River, Tong Zhilin's eyes almost popped out.

Mr. Lu's family business is really prosperous!

Walking to a corn field, Tong Zhilin saw these half-meter-high corn, and couldn't help but ask again: "Mr. Lu, why do you grow so much sorghum? Such a good land, sorghum... Oh, no, this is not sorghum. "

Tong Zhilin turned his head to look at Lu Li, and quickly asked, "Young master Lu, what kind of crop are you...?"

Then, Tong Zhilin pointed to the potato field and the sweet potato seedlings and alfalfa on the mountain, and asked, "What are those?"

Tong Zhilin had never seen such things as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

"A new crop, the yield... is very high, and it is not a problem for the yield per mu to exceed a thousand catties!"

Lu Li casually mentioned a thousand catties per mu, worried that the real yield would scare Tong Zhilin into a fool.

"A thousand catties per mu? Are you... are you kidding me?"

Tong Zhilin couldn't believe that there are still crops that yield thousands of catties per mu in this world.

"I never joke."

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, it's fine if he doesn't believe it.

At this time, a group of Xing'er and Lian'er led a group of children and drove a group of chickens, ducks and geese back from the direction of Shuize.

When Tong Zhilin saw these chickens, ducks and geese, his eyes widened again.

"What kind of chicken is this? Why is it so big? And those geese, aren't they too big? The ducks are also bigger, but not as scary as chickens and geese."
