On the wide and straight road, an army escorted several carriages slowly forward, leaning comfortably in the carriages, stretching out their feet, and enjoying the scenery outside along the open curtains, on both sides of the official road, the crops that grew very well stretched out endlessly, and the idle peasants would carry their hoes to patrol the fields even if they had nothing to do, pulling a few weeds by the way, hoeing the ridges of the fields, or watching the land full of hope for a good harvest for a while. From time to time, I will see one village after another, the village is always quiet, the children chase and play, the chickens and dogs, and the cheerful laughter will always reach Gao Yuan's ears from time to time, he is very satisfied, life, it should be like this.

Living and working in peace and contentment, the pursuit of the common people is nothing more than this, and the pursuit of his life is to let all the people under his rule live such a life, with the old to rely on and the little to support. In the territory of the Han Dynasty, he is about to complete this goal, of course, the territory of the Han Dynasty will continue to expand, and in his life, he will continue to work hard to achieve this goal.

Seeing the happiness of these people, Gao Yuan felt that this was his own happiness.

At the other end of the carriage, Cao Tianci sat cross-legged on the floor, his hands tied, his head bowed, and his face was full of shame. From time to time, he looked up and secretly glanced at Gao Yuan's face, but Gao Yuan's always happy face could not see the slightest reaction to this matter.

After a while, Gao Yuan retracted his gaze, glanced at Cao Tianci in the corner, and asked lightly, "That's it?" ”

"Yes, my father sent that Cao Wending to find me, told me their plans, and then asked me not to report this matter to the king immediately, and then report it to the king when the matter is over, later. Wu Tianjiao and Mei Su also sent people to find me, and they also said that this matter was not a big deal, so I promised them to delay it for a while. But along the way, I thought and thought. Still feeling uneasy. So, so ......"

Gao Yuan sneered: "So you finally decided to report this matter to me, but ten days have passed since this happened, and now in Dayan County, the things that Cao Wending should help should also be done, right?" ”

Cao Tianci lowered his head and remained silent.

"What is Lao Cao afraid of? I'm worried that my Cao family is proud of the officialdom now, invincible in the shopping mall, and the influence of the political and business worlds is boundless, so I want to fly all the birds. Good bow hidden, cunning rabbit dead, lackeys cooked, afraid that I will deal with you? Gao Yuan said coldly.

"No, it's not." Cao Tianci panicked suddenly, shook his hands wildly, and his face turned red: "That Cao Wending just said that Cao's wealth is surging too fast now, and a monopoly has been formed in the transportation industry. This is not the wealth of the country, and the Cao family has become a rising bird. will inevitably encounter envy and suppression from all sides, and once something happens, it will make the king embarrassed, and his father feels that he is reasonable, because the king has said it before. There is competition to make progress, so Cao decided to diversify the investment and gradually reduce the share of the domestic transportation market, so that the domestic transportation industry can flourish. ”

"Lao Cao is right, but it is also right." Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci. "It's not this that I'm angry about, God, you have to understand, first of all, you are the police minister of Dahan, the director of the National Security Bureau, and secondly, you are the son of the Cao family."

"The subordinates know it's wrong. From the very beginning of this matter, I should have reported it to the king immediately, and it should not have been delayed for a few days. Cao Ci lowered his head and said.

"The economic impact of the Cao family on my Han is not one or two points, this major decision they made will have an impact on many industries in the country, the Cao family is not a small workshop, what they do is already related to the national economy, based on this, you should also report to me immediately." Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci, "I hope this is the first time and the last time, Tianci, if there is such a thing again, you won't be able to sit in this seat." ”

Cao Tianci broke out in a cold sweat, "Disciple understands." ”

Gao Yuan snorted coldly, "Actually, I am happy to see what they do, it does not cost the country a penny, but in the end, it is possible to reap great results, this is actually a good thing, this Cao Wending, but a talent, you say that he is a top student of the Ming Calculation Department who graduated from Jicheng Comprehensive University in the first class?" ”

"Yes, in the Ming Calculation Department back then, this person's graduation assessment items were the first, and his father personally came to the door, promising a high salary and high position, and pulled him into the Cao family, and he also refused the recruitment of the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance." Cao Tianci said: "I can find out the details of this person clearly, and his net worth is innocent." ”

"Lao Cao, an inner ghost, actually poached my talent." Gao Yuan snorted: "After returning to Jicheng, slowly beat him to settle accounts." ”

Hearing Gao Yuan's tone, Cao Tianci finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the king was not ready to hold himself accountable for concealing this matter.

"God-given." Hearing Gao Yuan's call, Cao Tianci hurriedly agreed.

"This Cao Wending, you pay more attention, this person helped your father with this big move, I think that your father will inevitably send him to preside over this matter in the future, I want to know all the processes of his doing this, if he can really use this matter to control the economic lifeline of Wang Jian's Daqin within a few years, hehe, this is a great achievement, and this person also has talent." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Now our big man can be regarded as a talent, a Fang Shu, has made me wake up inexplicably, and now there is another Cao Wending, ha, there are successors to the big man, if they can continue to do this, the future big man will not lack the first assistant talent!" ”

Fang Shu is okay, now he has emerged in the political arena of the Han Dynasty, within a few years, he has completed the triple jump in the political arena, and now he has become the county guard of Liaoning County, but the king's evaluation of this Cao Wending is so high, it is far beyond Cao Tianci's expectations.

"No matter how good he is, he will only be a businessman in the future, how can he be the first assistant?" Cao Tianci asked with a sigh.

"Why do you think that our big man will not choose a person with great achievements in business to be the first assistant in the future?" Gao Yuan smiled and asked, "Let's see!" Anything is possible. ”

The sound of horses' hooves outside, and then He Weiyuan's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, you are about to enter Jinyang, Xu Yuan, the commander of the First Military Region, and the civil and military officials led by the Jinyang County Guard are greeting you on the border, and they have already sent a sentry to contact us." ”

Gao Yuan poked his head out of the window and said with a smile: "This Xu Yuan, it's still very good to engage in formalism, leading hundreds of civil and military officials to meet the hundred realms, it's amazing, this is still one hundred and eighty miles away from his First Military Region headquarters!" ”

"This is also Commander Xu's respect for the king!" He Weiyuan said with a smile. "The last general estimated that even if the king reprimanded him, he was happy in his heart."

Gao Yuan laughed, "Speed up, Xu Yuan has brought in all the civil and military officials, so won't the current First Military Region and Jinyang County Guard Mansion become empty shelves?" Let's meet with them as soon as possible, so that those officials can return to their posts as soon as possible, and if something goes wrong, I will definitely scold him. ”

He Weiyuan disagreed: "Your Majesty, now that Jinyang is prosperous, and tens of thousands of troops are at the border, if we don't fight the Qin people, they are just burning high incense, do they dare to provoke us?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with being careful!" Gao Yuan was not happy that He Weiyuan dared to refute himself.

The team significantly increased its speed, and half an hour later, Gao Yuan saw the black crowd of welcome in front of him, and the one at the forefront of the line was naturally Xu Yuan, the commander of the First Military Region who had not met for a long time.

Seeing Gao Yuan's car, Commander Xu Yuan and Deputy Commander Ye Zhen hurriedly greeted them, on the side of the two of them, it was Wang Yuan, the county guard of Jinyang, the Han army and the local government were not under the control of each other, Wang Yuan was on an equal footing with these two people in Jinyang, managing the army and managing the government at the same time, but Jinyang was the first line against the Qin army, so Wang Yuan's work was also to deal with the army, but he did well with these two senior military officials.

"I've seen the king!" Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen saluted, but Wang Yuan clenched his fists and slammed them to the ground.

"That's it, it's all old brothers, so many etiquettes from there." Gao Yuan jumped out of the carriage with a smile and looked behind the three of them.

Ding Wei, commander of the Fifth Army, Yan Haibo, commander of the Sixth Army, Yan Peng, commander of the Seventh Army, Luo Weiran, commander of the Eighth Army, infantry commander of the Ninth Army, Yang Fugui, commander of the Tenth Army, and Kong Fang, commander of the Eleventh Army, are all familiar faces.

The old brothers are naturally very happy to meet, but Gao Yuan is also very clear that in this joy, there is also a little more alienation and restraint, as the power of the Han Kingdom is getting bigger and bigger, the territory is getting wider and wider, and the national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the relationship between himself and these old brothers is impossible to return to the previous kind of intimacy, and it is time to joke loudly together and expose each other's old bottoms. Sometimes Gao Yuan feels that the more respectful they are to themselves, the more unpleasant they feel in their hearts.

"Wang Yuan, you're doing a good job as a county guard. Jinyang, it's really not like the front line of the battle with the Qin army, I see that the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and the business is flourishing, compared with Jicheng, it is not bad! Gao Yuan did not praise Xu Yuan, but praised Wang Yuan vigorously. Xu Yuan is an old brother, and talking too much will make people feel alienated.

"This is all the credit of Director Xu and Deputy Commander Ye, the army is eyeing Qin, and the Qin people on the other side are panicking day by day, where do they still have the heart to harass us, we can naturally carry out local construction wholeheartedly."

"Your Majesty, in the past two years, in addition to training, we have been training, and then we have been tricked by Wang Junshou to open up wasteland for him and harvest for him, and we are about to become his volunteer staff, and the soldiers are looking forward to fighting Qin as soon as possible, and this breath has been held back for almost two years." Xu Yuan on the side was a little dissatisfied.

Gao Yuan laughed, "It's okay for the army to help the local government carry out construction, the military and the people are fishing and water, it seems that you, the military and the government, still get along very happily." ”

"Of course it's pleasant, our soldiers will be let go to work by the royal guards if they have nothing to do, and they still won't pay." The sour taste in Xu Yuan's words made everyone burst into laughter again. (To be continued.) )
