A few days later, within the Shicheng County Ya, all the officials gathered, and everyone's faces looked bright.

Fang Ling sat on the main seat, his eyes swept over everyone, and said with a smile: "The four counties can be unified, you are all indispensable, this king once said that when the four counties are unified, they will be officially canonized as court officials, so now the time is ripe." Speaking of this, he turned his head to Lu Bei on the side and smiled: "Brother Lu, this king has appointed you as the commander of the guards, and you will be responsible for the safety of the palace in the future!"

Lu Bei was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for the love of Your Highness, but it is more appropriate for this position of commander to be assumed by Brother Dong." ”

Fang Ling smiled and said, "The master has his own other positions, so you don't have to, get up." ”

Lu Bei was relieved and stood up excitedly, with a high-spirited face.

Fang Ling then said to Chen Mou: "Lord Chen has worked hard for the unification of the four counties, strategized, and selected talents, and this king has appointed you as the prime minister to manage the affairs of the fief. ”

"Your Highness. Chen Mou bowed slightly to receive the order, and everyone else nodded their heads in convincing.

Fang Ling said to Dong Canghai: "Master, you have a very high prestige among the soldiers, and this king has appointed you as the general of Zhenbei to lead the troops to guard the area of the Heavenly Trench Canyon. ”

"Your Highness. Dong Canghai bowed calmly.

I only heard Fang Ling smile and said to Shen Huantian: "This king has appointed you as the general of Zhennan to guard the area of the 'Mystery' Foggy Mountain. ”

"Your Highness. Shen Huantian bowed slightly, although his expression was solemn, his eyebrows were already slightly subdued.

Even though he is also a generation of heroes, he can be said to be convinced of Fang Ling. After all, if it were him, it would be impossible to eliminate a few cities in Blackwood City within a few days. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)

However, Fang Ling was just a snap of his fingers, making this impossible possible. Therefore, he was even more convinced that only Fang Ling could make his ambition come true.

The official positions of the vassal states are basically imitations of the Mu of the Chu State, except for some official names that are different, the system is basically similar.

If the vassal states are large enough to reach the size of several states, they can also set up positions such as assassins and county guards, but Fang Ling's fief is only the size of four counties, so all official positions can only be simplified, otherwise it will be too bloated to get a bunch of officials.

Next, Fang Ling assigned official positions to Meng Zhiyuan, Huang Jian, Qiu Yi, Han Fei and others.

After everyone left, Fang Ling summoned Xi Zhengyong and the others, and told him that he had found a suitable place near the Shilong Mountain Range, so that the people of Xi could establish a city.

Xi Zhengyong was immediately grateful, in this way, not only returned to his homeland, but also could be in charge of a real city, which was a big surprise.

In the days that followed, Fang Ling gathered his advisers and began to build all aspects of the fiefdom, including building fortifications at the exit of the Trench Canyon, which could defend against possible battles in the future, and to observe every move in the frontier.

Another important thing is to build a city. Although there are only four cities in the land of four counties, because it is in the border area, it was originally relatively desolate before, and with the continuous mountains, its actual area can be said to be as large as two or three states, and it is precisely because of this that Fang Ling has the idea of opening mountains and building a city.

With the completion of one fortification after another, the fiefdom is developing day by day, the population, military strength, and financial resources are increasing day by day, and talented people from all walks of life have also found a place to display their ambitions, and they have poured into the four counties, making this northern frontier land richer and stronger, and it is no longer the barren land it was at the beginning.

Three years later, in the spring of the seventeenth year of Zhengde, on an official road in Yizhou in the eastern part of the Chu State, a carriage was marching in the direction of Acropolis County, and the black-faced groom in his thirties raised his whip from time to time to control the speed of the horse.

Behind the carriage, followed by four horses, there were four guards sitting on the horses, all of them were not very old, but they were only 25 or 6 years old, but they all looked energetic, introverted, and had superb martial arts.

The curtain of the carriage door opened, and a pair of young men and girls, no more than 18 or 9 years old, dressed in white, looked as handsome as jade, and had both the temperament of a literati and the demeanor of a warrior.

The girl's age is also about 18 years old, and her pretty face is stunning, but she is wearing a maid's costume, a light yellow "colored" skirt, and a jade ring ribbon around her waist.

The black-faced groom suddenly said, "Your Highness, I can see the Acropolis County!"

The young man glanced out, and saw a city in the distance, although it was only the size of a small sesame seed in his field of vision, but he could already see its scale clearly, so he smiled slightly: "It is worthy of a county, the area of this city is much larger than that of the four counties, and even the population is five or six hundred thousand." "The starters

The peerless maid said: "Even if the area is large and the population is large, but when it comes to economic strength, His Highness's fief is much richer. ”

The young man couldn't help laughing, and suddenly there was a sound of music in his ears, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did this music come from?"

The black-faced man raised his head and looked around, then pointed in the direction of the south and said, "Your Highness, there is a big lake there, and the sound of music comes from the painting boat on the lake. ”

The young man bowed slightly, watching the carriages around him gradually increase, and he was getting closer and closer to the Acropolis County, and his eyes were a little more expectant, not knowing if he could find his grandfather's whereabouts here.

Needless to say, this group of people is Fang Ling and others, the black-faced man is the guard commander Lu Bei, the maid is Song Ying'er, and the four guards behind the carriage are Hao Tieniu and other four people, each of whom is the elite of the guards trained by Dong Canghai and other guards, although he is young, he has good martial arts attainments, and he is also proficient in various skills such as probing intelligence and concealing identity, and his skills are comparable to ordinary imperial city guards.

As early as when he was in the palace, Fang Ling heard his mother mention his grandfather and others, sixteen years ago, because of his mother's rebellion, his grandfather and his party are missing, and there is no news so far.

In the past three years, the fiefdom has developed rapidly, and both politics, economy and public security have developed in an extremely good direction, so three years later, Fang Ling officially went to his mother's hometown Acropolis County to find the whereabouts of his grandfather and others.

Acropolis County, located in the east of Chu State, belongs to the territory of Xuzhou, and is ten days away from the Shicheng fiefdom.

Like most cities in the East, it is located in a plain area with many rivers and few mountains, and the terrain is much lower than in the north. However, the eastern land borders the kingdoms of Cai and Wu, and has been repeatedly warred in recent years, so the population fluctuates greatly.

However, Acropolis is an inland land, and it is obviously not affected by the war, and it is a scene of singing and dancing.

Before approaching the Acropolis County, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic city wall, which is much taller than that of the ordinary county town, and the stones of the city wall are neatly cut and the size is the same, which looks like a simple and solemn sense of shock.

More than a dozen armed soldiers stood on the city wall with solemn expressions, and two rows of soldiers stood under the city gate, checking the passing goods, and several wanted notices were posted on the city wall.

Fang Ling and his party were light and simple, and the accompanying luggage was only a box, while the important east and west Fang Ling were directly placed in the inch, which was convenient, and the soldiers saw that a few people were dressed well, and they were released after a simple inspection.

When you enter Acropolis County, you will see a lively and prosperous scene, with many liquor shops and shops, and pedestrians dressed and talking well, which does look much more atmospheric than the county seat.

And as soon as Fang Ling walked in, he also had a sense of joy that he hadn't seen for a long time, the place where his mother grew up was also his homeland, and it was also a fortunate thing that his homeland could be so prosperous.

The group walked straight along the avenue, turned left when they came to the third street entrance, and when they came to the front of a shop in Tianjin Silk Village, Lubei retreated.

Fang Ling and Song Ying'er got down from the carriage one after another, Hao Tieniu and others also stepped off the horses, and the second child in the store hurriedly walked out and greeted a few people enthusiastically.

The shop occupies two facades, there are all kinds of silk and satin silk products on the counter and shelves, a dazzling array of dazzling, at this time there are a few ladies in the selection, a young shopkeeper is introducing the origin of various satins, its tongue is like a spring, so that each silk can tell a story, listen to the ladies are amazed, and the materials on the hand are even more lovely.

At this time, the shopkeeper had already served tea to Fang Ling, and said with a smile: "Childe, all the silk and satin fabrics in this store are shipped from the north, no matter what variety you are looking for, there are them here, and the price is absolutely fair." ”

Fang Ling took a sip of tea, this tea is not only not a rough and rotten type, but also quite high-quality.

The shopkeeper looked at the "color" on the side, pointed to the staircase on the side and said with a smile: "If the son likes to taste tea, there is a special tea room on the second floor, and the son can make an appointment with a few friends to come upstairs to taste tea when he is free, and these teas are also transported from the north, and the charm is long." ”

Fang Ling couldn't help but smile and asked, "Where are you shopkeepers?"

The shopkeeper immediately said: "The shopkeeper's affairs are relatively busy, don't you know what is important to the son?"

Fang Ling said slightly: "It's not a big deal, but please go and inform him, and say that the owner is here." ”

As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and walked towards the room, and it didn't take long for him to see a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking out, it was Meng Zhiyuan.

Three months ago, in order to find out the news of his grandfather's family, Fang Ling specially sent Meng Zhiyuan to Acropolis County with more than 20 subordinates to open this Tianjin Silk Village.

As soon as Meng Zhiyuan saw Fang Ling and the others, his face immediately "revealed" and "looked", but as soon as he came out, several ladies immediately surrounded him, asking him to introduce some silk in person.
