Zhou Xian heard him briefly talk about his experience along the way and asked: "Xuzhi, this time you return to Shandong, there will be nothing wrong with your uncle!"

Yang Yan replied: "Don't worry, the commander-in-chief. According to the agreement, shortly after I left, my uncle would report this to Li Dingguo to relieve his suspicion. Moreover, I also left a letter saying that the reason why I left was because my mother was seriously ill. Betrayed the court because she was unfaithful and could never be unfilial. I think after Li Dingguo saw it, he would not blame his uncle too much. But my uncle could not lead his troops to return to the court and return to the court. I hope the commander-in-chief would forgive him."

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "This is a trivial matter, as long as he is safe. In the thief camp and his heart is on the court, I can understand General Yang's actions. In fact, if you think about it, maybe he will play a greater role in the future when he stays with the Longwu rebels. Forget it, I won't talk about this for the time being. Xuzhi, what are your plans next?"

Yang Yan said with a sad face: "At present, the last general is still guilty. I just hope that the emperor can give me a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service. In this way, even if I die in the battlefield in the future, I can completely rest in peace."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "The matter is not that serious. It's like this! I wrote a memorial to the emperor and said that you had already contacted me. A lot of information about the Longwu Army was reported by you in private. In this way, even if the emperor pursued the crime, it would not be too strict. The current situation in Shandong is critical, and a war may break out soon. It is the time for the hero to show his skills. If you don't dislike it, how can you stay in Shandong for the time being and play under my hands?"

Yang Yan's face was excited, "What the Supervisor said is true? Are you willing to take me in?"

Zhou Xian nodded, "As long as you want, I will do my best to help you get rid of your crime. But you just fled back from the Longwu rebels. If you directly use you on the surface, you may harm your uncle. Next, I will recruit 30,000 new recruits, and you will help me train them as a commoner. When the war comes to the future, you will be the general who ruled nearly 10,000 soldiers."

Yang Yan did not think too much, so he replied: "Thank you, the governor, for your attention. I am willing. But I have a request, and I hope the governor can agree."

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "You said."

Yang Yan was silent for a moment and said, "The Supervisor may have known that my uncle and I were expelled from the Yang family by grandma for the sake of insulting our ancestors. Originally, when I came back this time, I returned to the Yang family first, but grandma didn't even let me in. Instead, she sent Yang Zhen and Yang Cai to ask them to take me to the government to collect the crime. I had no other request, I just hope that the Supervisor could write a letter to my grandma and help me and my uncle explain it a little."

Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Old Mrs. Yang is really... OK! I will write this letter later. The two young men will rest in Jinan for a day and wait until they return to Linyi tomorrow."

Yang Zhen stood up and said, "Master, I will come here. In addition to accompanying my uncle to come to you to collect the crime, I also hope to serve under the Master's account, which is what grandma asked for."

Zhou Xian laughed after listening to it, "It's great! Xuzhi, I have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Xiao Leng, you will take Xuzhi to the Jinan martial arts lecture hall now and let him meet those students who are preparing to join the army. As for the two young masters, they will first enter the school as the second batch of students and will be appointed separately in the future."

After seeing off the three people, Zhou Xian set out to return to the lobby. Han Chang brought a bowl of lotus seed soup, and he picked it up and drank it all. "Have all the adults inside eaten?"

Han Chang replied: "I didn't eat much, but they were talking about each other."

Zhou Xian put the bowl back on the table, "Oh, what are you talking about?"

Han Chang said: "There are everything. Some people are worried about the situation in Shandong, some are discussing and recommending officials from various prefectures and counties, some are talking about the commander, etc., and it is a mess."

Zhou Xian smiled, "It's really a mess. Let's go in."

Seeing Zhou Xian come in, the hall suddenly became quiet. Zhou Xian sat in the main seat, and saw that Gao Mingheng's bowl was basically not moving, "Gao Futai, can't you speak?"

Gao Mingheng shook his head, "It's just that Gao doesn't like fishy fish."

Zhou Xian nodded and said, "It was Zhou who was not thinking about it." Then he turned to the outside and ordered, "Take the bowl back and serve some refreshments for you to eat and drink. You may not know that Shandong encountered a food shortage due to the blockade of the north and south. When ordinary people were hungry, there would be no major issues. But it was not possible in the army. If they were not full for three days, ordinary soldiers dared to directly pick up swords, guns and generals to fight. Therefore, I encouraged coastal fishermen to provide various fishery products, and after drying, the government came forward to purchase them to supply them to the army. At first, every time when we were eating, the fish smelled all over the camp, and some soldiers vomited when they smelled it. Later, a fire-headed army changed the cooking method, adding tofu, kelp, and other wild vegetables when cooking fish to eliminate the fishy smell. After that, dried fish gradually became the main source of meat in the army."

Wang Zhang's face was extremely unnatural and he muttered in a low voice, "Pig Raising General".

Zhou Xian heard it and smiled faintly, "The name of Pig-raising General is appropriate. Because when dried fish became the main meat in the army, the pork and mutton consumed was reduced. I ordered the remaining pigs and sheep to be concentrated, and then a six-campus farm was set up in the Linshan area of ​​Licheng, and people were sent to raise these pigs and sheep. At the beginning, there were only a few hundred, but later through purchase and breeding, there were nearly two thousand. After waiting for a while, the number could be doubled. By that time, not only could it be enough to supply the army, but there would also be extra to be sold to ordinary people. After the prefect Wang found out, he scolded me as the "Pig-raising General" and said that I was not doing my job properly. But what I was thinking is, what was the job properly? It was the job properly to solve the problem. Otherwise, if you are just aloof and do not do practical things, I would not be considered a good official."

Seeing Wang Zhang's face look ugly, Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Prince Wang, I'm not talking about you. Hebei is in chaos, and countless refugees are rushing into Shandong. Jinan Prefecture is under the most pressure. Since you became the prefect of Jinan, you have actively resettled refugees and reconciled the conflicts between the people and the local people. In the face of food shortage, a large number of people have been avoided from being frozen and starved to death and have made great contributions. I admire this very much."

Wang Zhang's face relaxed, and everyone liked to listen to good-sounding words, especially those like Wang Zhang who claim to be noble. He bowed to Zhou Xian, "The Supervisor praised the general."

Zhou Xian said "hmm" and continued, "Is Lord Wang willing to take more responsibilities for the sake of the world?"
