After another half a year, Li Qingyun finally returned to the patrol city, and he was expected to finish the thirty-six cities in the northland within a year, but it turned out that two years had passed since he came to the northland, and the first thing had just been done.

However, Li Qingyun already has a certain degree of understanding of the current situation in the Northland.

Of the thirty-six cities in the north, the Wang family occupies three, namely Lanshui City, Red Copper City, and Qingyu City.

These three cities are scattered in a triangular shape, among which Lanshui City is the most important.

The Zhang family occupies two, namely Ironwood City and Liuli City, and the rest have more than ten cities, which also have the imprints of major families.

Most of them are quite honest and there is nothing abnormal, and although the Red Copper City has a little flaw, it is harmless.

All the taxes that should be paid have been paid in a lot, and Li Qingyun has already distributed these silvers for the construction of official roads in various places, as well as daily expenses.

Li Qingyun is not in a hurry, he has to patrol the northern land for decades, whoever disobeys the yang and the yin, sooner or later he will show his feet, and he will be ruthlessly eliminated if he is not suitable to be the city lord in the northern land.

The next thing to do is to meet the city lords of the northern land first, Li Qingyun gave them half a year, and after half a year, the city lords of the thirty-six cities will come to patrol the city.

There is still half a year to spare, and it just so happened that a few days ago he found a very interesting thing and wanted to go there.

However, after walking for almost a year, he can't just leave, this time when he comes back, Yunyin and Jiang Zirui have been sulking with him for a long time, and they have to coax.

"Uncle Xu, I still have to trouble you to go to this place, if there is really something, I will bring someone over. ”

Li Qingyun pointed to a place on the map of the Northland and said to Xu Jiayin.

"Okay, I'll go. Xu Jiayin nodded.

After leaving the study, Li Qingyun patted his old face and walked towards Yunyin's room, and before he got to the front, he heard the sound of Yunyin's breath in the room.

"You can't just forgive him this time!" Yun Yin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Why are you so angry?" Jiang Zirui slapped Yunyin's hand with a smile, took out two swords from the space ring, and put them on the table, "Just kill him directly!"

Scold!

With a clear sword roar, Jiang Zirui took out the long sword and waved it twice, seeing the cold light on the blade, she nodded with satisfaction.

Zhao Xue'er glanced at the two of them with a smile and asked softly, "Are you really willing?"

She didn't believe that Jiang Zirui and Yunyin would really want to do anything to Li Qingyun, the two of them went to the city tower the most times on weekdays.

It is estimated that when he sees Li Qingyun, he should forget everything.

"Who said that! Of course I'm willing to do it!" Jiang Zirui's face turned red, and her mouth stiffened.

Yunyin didn't speak, but stared at the door tightly.

"Ladies, I'm back!"

Li Qingyun slammed open the door, rushed in, looked at the three people in the room with a smile, and opened his arms.

"Smack!"

"Whoosh!"

Yun Yin disappeared in an instant, Jiang Zirui also threw the sword and pounced, Zhao Xue'er had long expected such a scene, and did not cancel the two of them.

After listening to the soft words of comfort for a while, Jiang Zirui and Yun Yin let go of Li Qingyun with red eyes.

"What are you crying about, next time you go out, let's go together. ”

Li Qingyun gently wiped the tears on the faces of the two and promised.

"Really?"

Jiang Zirui snorted and looked at Li Qingyun with suspicion.

"Really. ”

This time, Li Qingyun told the truth, he was afraid of trouble before, but now it is different, if he goes out again, it will definitely be a big fanfare.

"Then forgive you. ”

Yunyin burst into tears and laughed, and wiped his face with Li Qingyun's sleeve.

She and Jiang Zirui were angry because the two of them kept waving to Li Qingyun on the city tower, but as a result, this conscienceless person was the same as deaf, he didn't even look at them, and kept looking down at something.

After entering the city, I went directly to the study, and I didn't come back until now.

However, since Li Qingyun had already admitted his mistake and had a good attitude, they didn't care much about it.

"Okay, let's talk about those words in the evening, Qingyun, grandpa is already here, have you seen it?" Zhao Xue'er asked.

"No, didn't I just put down the work in my hand and came to see you," Li Qingyun smiled and pinched Zhao Xue'er's little face and stretched out his hand, "Let's go, let's go together." ”

In the backyard, Li Zhenyuan was holding the little guy and teasing, with a smile on his old face.

"Hey, son, come and hug daddy. ”

Li Qingyun smiled and clapped his hands, and the little guy immediately fluttered to drill into his arms. Good Mood Literature Network

"It's all grown so big. ”

A little more than a year old, Li Qingyun was already heavy in his arms.

The little guy is not a stranger to his father, who has not seen him for almost a year, but is very close.

"You came back a few days late, Yao'er just finished catching Zhou three days ago. ”

Li Zhenyuan smiled and pinched the little guy's face, the child's name has been chosen, and his name is Yun Yao, following Yun Yin's surname.

"What did you catch?"

Li Qingyun was very curious, when he caught Zhou, he caught rouge, and then went to Qinglou without a teacher at the age of ten.

"It's the same as you," Li Zhenyuan sighed, and then laughed again, "But there is no Qinglou in the Endless Forest Sea, and Yao'er shouldn't be like you." ”

This child, although it is the bloodline of the Li family, but according to the conditions agreed before, after the age of seven, he will be sent to the endless forest sea to inherit his mother's throne, and in the future, he will rarely appear in Yaocheng.

If you want to, you can only go to the endless forest sea.

Li Zhenyuan is thinking now that Li Qingyun will have another child, so that he and Zhao Yun can also have a hope, and they don't have to keep going to two places.

"It's not like I'm the best, and I'll worry about it later. ”

Li Qingyun kissed his son's little face, but he didn't expect that the beard on his chin was actually cut off by this little guy.

"What's wrong, still angry?"

Li Qingyun kissed again, and this time the little guy didn't go to his beard again, but cried.

Yunyin glared at Li Qingyun and hugged the little guy over: "Yao'er, my mother is here, don't cry, my father is bad, we ignore him." ”

With that, he took the child and Jiang Zirui and walked out.

"How's it going, how is this patrol?"

Li Zhenyuan glanced at Li Qingyun and sighed with a little emotion.

Ten years ago, he was still suffering from Li Qingyun's anger, and ten years later, Li Qingyun has turned back as a prodigal son, and has become a family, has a son, and finally inherited his mantle.

"When I heard from you before, when my father didn't want to ask about such nonsense, I was already prepared in my heart, but I never thought that the real situation was even more complicated. ”

Li Qingyun also sighed, but he did sigh at what he had seen and heard in the past year.

The major families in Yaocheng have all taken root in the north and want to get a piece of the pie, which also shows the strength of the major families.

Although he didn't care, there was a reason for existence, and they restrained each other, which also brought a lot of benefits to Yaocheng.

In addition, there are not many people who rely on the business of major families to eat, and in this regard, the role is not small.

"These are all things that you need to ponder slowly and feel for yourself in order to be a good general of Yaocheng," Li Zhenyuan patted Li Qingyun on the shoulder, "At that time, when I took over the Yaocheng General's Mansion from your grandfather, it took hundreds of years to balance the forces of all parties, and this general is not so easy to be." ”

Li Yaofeng is not useful, he can only strategize on the battlefield, but he can't really command all the strength of Yaocheng.

Li Qingyun is stronger than Li Yaofeng, his mind is more exquisite, and he is more tactful, so he is in power better than Li Yaofeng.

"I know, but I don't have time to spend with Yunyin and them. ”

Yunyin was pregnant for ten months, he only accompanied him for four months, and he only came back when his son was born, but he left again after only two months, and he didn't meet until he was more than a year old.

"There are gains and losses, you are still young, sooner or later there will be a group of children and grandchildren, and you will cultivate earlier in the future, won't you be able to be idle?" Li Zhenyuan smiled and comforted.

"Hopefully. Li Qingyun responded with a wry smile.

The two of them had already walked to the pavilion, and after sitting down, Li Zhenyuan then asked, "I heard that you have walked all over the Thirty-six Cities of the Northland, and you are still building a large number of buildings?"

"Yes. ”

Li Qingyun nodded, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Zhenyuan.

"Where did you get these ideas?"

Li Qingyun ordered the construction of official roads and bridges, he already knew, Li Zhenyuan was curious, how did he think of building the road first.

"Look, there are so many people in the north, they can't just rely on the luck of Lanjiang City, the road is a little better, and the people's lives will be better. ”

Although he has a favorable geographical advantage, Li Qingyun does not plan to rely on Lanjiang City completely.

What he wants is for the thirty-six cities in the north to develop and grow, not just Lanjiang City.

"Very well, I thought it would take you a few more decades to understand this. Elder Li Zhen nodded with great relief and said in appreciation.

A place, want to develop, the road is the foundation, the people are the foundation, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Li Qingyun is not ambitious, he is very pleased with this.

"But these are not enough," Li Zhenyuan looked at the pool and threw a stone into it, and the fish inside were frightened and immediately scattered and fled, "For the people, the most important thing is stability." ”

It is necessary to be stable before it can be prosperous, and even if a place is blessed with wealth, if it is not stable, it will never be truly rich.

Why is the Yaocheng General's Mansion so much stronger than other Generals' Mansions? It is because Yaocheng has made great efforts to eliminate bandits, pave roads, and build water conservancy, so that the people can be fed and clothed, and they will take root in Yaocheng.

With food, there will naturally be silver, and the Yaocheng General's Mansion will be able to do more things, the family foundation will become thicker and thicker, and Yaocheng will become safer and safer.
