The snow that had covered the months had melted away, and the snow was turning into spring water in the ditches on both sides of the wide road, flowing down the ditches and through large fields of fields. The spring breeze blows, the seeds sown down to the thunderous momentum to pull out the roots and shoots, from the black oil of the land will come out, a piece of tender green will cover the original color, leisure a winter farmer carrying a hoe into the field, although there is not much to do, but standing in their own land, looking at this piece of crops that grow very well, the heart is more down-to-earth and stable.

The land around Jishi City has been cultivated for two years, and this year is already the third season, and the raw fields have become ripe fields, and this year's harvest can be expected to have a bumper harvest, and the yield per mu will be extremely high.

On the road, there was an endless stream of people, riding horses, driving cars, coming to Jishi City endlessly, these people, most of them were villages far away from Jishi City or some Xiongnu tribes who were not yet completely attached to the expedition to the east of the country, they brought animal skins accumulated in a winter or leather armor that had been made into semi-finished products, rushed to Jishi City to trade.

For the Xiongnu tribes, Jishi City's current strategy is not to blindly appease, but to use some economic means to closely link them with the interests of Jishi City, various different tribes, each with its own focus, some specialize in raising sheep in order to harvest wool, and some buy fur, make zuò into semi-finished leather armor and then sell it to the workshops in Jishi City, in exchange for money, in exchange for money to buy food and all kinds of daily necessities in Jishi City, with these means, Now there are more than a dozen Xiongnu tribes that depend on Jishi City to survive, and they have their own division of labor and clear responsibilities.

For Jishi City, these Xiongnu tribes are no longer completely included in the system of conquering the Eastern Province, above the finances. It is also a big burden to remove, and these attached tribes, although they still have some cavalry, but basically can not pose a threat to Jishi City, on the contrary, they also need to seek the support of Jishi City, because on the prairie, there are still horse bandits, and there are also some Xiongnu tribes who are unwilling to bow to Zhengdongfu, these tribes generally maintain relatively strong forces. And if they are unwilling to accept the arrangement of Jishi City, they will naturally not be able to get these businesses, and even Jishi City prohibits caravans from trading with them, so that they have only one way to obtain these materials, robbery.

Every time the Eastern Mansion invaded and suppressed, it maintained a principle, that is, to beat them and run away. But he never rushed to kill them all, so as to ensure the dependence of those Xiongnu tribes attached to Zhengdong Province on the Zhengdong Army. After repeated a few back and forth, the Xiongnu tribe, who were beaten so that they no longer had the strength to resist, had to accept the conditions of conquering Dongfu. And became a part of the processing machine qì in Zhengdongfu.

The influence of Zhengdongfu spread farther and farther in the steppe, and these methods seemed mild, but in fact they were eating away at the living space of the Huns step by step, until they found out. It was no longer possible to leave Zhengdong Mansion, and the entire prairie was completely included in the embrace of Zhengdong Mansion.

Displaced people from all over the Central Plains are still pouring towards Jishi City. In two or three years, there were 50,000 households under the jurisdiction of Jishi County, and there were more than 200,000 people in Dingkou, which had surpassed Liaoxi City to become the largest city under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Prefecture. Putting down the business at hand, Wu Kai, the county warden of Jishi County, who began to be a serious official, firmly controlled this large county with complex personnel with his flexible and changeable skills, and turned it into the political and economic center of Zhengdong Prefecture. It is conceivable that when Dayan County and Hetao County reach the height of Jishi City, the proportion of Liaoxi and Hehe will further decline, and at this time, Gao Yuan's huge project of operating his own backyard will come to an end, and it will be until that time that Gao Yuan really has the thick capital to compete with the world's heroes.

There was a dense sound of horses' hooves on the galloping road, and a fiery red appeared in the eyes of pedestrians, seeing the familiar color, on the galloping road, between the farmland, there were bursts of cheers, that was the red-clothed guard, it was the guard camp of the governor of the Eastern Prefecture, Gao Yuan, the governor of the Eastern Prefecture, half a year ago, the expedition to the Hetao, and finally returned.

The pedestrians on the galloping road, leading their horses, driving their own carriages, avoiding both sides of the road, the local people shouted and jumped excitedly, waving their arms desperately at the team, among them, many of them were retired soldiers from the army, at this time to see this team returning victoriously, it was really difficult to suppress the excitement in the heart, with one military victory after another, the prestige of Gao Yuan has climbed to a new Gao Feng.

More just came to Jishi City, just settled down the displaced people and those who came to Jishi City to trade, is a complex look at this majestic team, galloping over the gallop road, this is a victorious division that has just annihilated the invincible Donghu army in the Hetao, a full 50,000 Donghu iron horsemen in the Hetao halberd sinking sand, this news, in the years ago has been transmitted back, which also makes those Hun tribes who are still half-hearted, completely the heart of the restlessness to annihilate.

Today's Xiongnu are no longer the Xiongnu of the past, and just like the Zhengdong Mansion with the same rising sun, it will become the new master of this land.

The city gate did not come to greet the officials of Zhengdong Mansion, and the sentinels sent by Gao Yuan in advance had told Jiang Jiaquan and the others not to come to greet them but their respective directors, and it was Gao Yuan's return, in Jishi City, not many people knew, and when they saw that red fire appeared in the field of vision of the defenders in the city, they reacted that it was the governor who had returned.

The defenders of the city waved the weapons in their hands and cheered loudly, and the shouts of the victorious victory of the Eastern Army resounded through the clouds.

Now Gao Yuan, he just wants to see Ye Jing'er and his three-month-old son soon, and he is happy to be high. When Ye Jing'er gave birth, he couldn't be by her side, which made Gao Yuan feel sorry, at the first moment of returning, he just wanted to be by her side, as for those official matters, they all stood aside first, and when he was not there, Jiang Jiaquan and the others also handled everything in an orderly manner.

Today, Gao Yuan is not the governor of Zhengdong Province, who rules over tens of millions of people, but the husband of a woman and the father of a child.

In front of the Governor's Mansion, Gao Yuan turned over and dismounted, turned around, and said to Shangguan Hong: "Defend the camp department, each return to the barracks, you, go and inform the major yakou, today, I don't want to see anyone, what's the matter, I will say when I gather in the Governor's Mansion tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Dudu!" Shangguan Hong nodded, and watched Gao Yuan stride into the gate of the Governor's Mansion, then turned around, a series of orders were issued, and the red-clothed guards disappeared into the streets and alleys of Jishi City under the leadership of their respective company commanders.

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Ye Jing'er was also restless, the news that Gao Yuan had returned had already been brought back by the guards who had returned first, and when she heard the cheers outside the Governor's Mansion and the sound of iron hooves, she knew that Gao Yuan had returned. Turning her head to look at the big bed, her son who was sleeping soundly was happy, but her mouth pouted again, this ruthless enemy was not by her side when her son was born.

"Miss, the governor has already arrived in the backyard." Outside, Cao Li'er ran panting and said.

"I'm back, I'm back, what's the big deal." Ye Jing'er pretended to be relaxed.

"Miss, don't pretend, these days, I've been listening to you talk about your dreams and call the name of the governor at night!" Cao Li'er grinned.

"Dead girl, chew the root of your tongue again, see if I don't tear your mouth." Ye Jing'er's face was flushed, and she jumped up and made a gesture to pull Cao Li'er's mouth, Cao Li'er smiled and dodged left and right, and said to forgive: "Miss spare my life, I don't dare anymore." ”

The two were fighting, and a deep and eager voice came from outside: "Jing'er, I'm back." ”

Ye Jing'er stopped all of a sudden, only paused slightly, and hurriedly rushed out of the room, the skirt became a drag at this time, almost knocking her down, so that Cao Lian'er stepped forward and supported Ye Jing'er.

Holding her skirt in both hands, Ye Jing'er ran outside the house in three steps and two steps, Gao Yuan had already arrived at the door, seeing Ye Jing'er with an excited face, he laughed and opened his arms, rushed forward, and in Ye Jing'er's exclamation, he suddenly hugged her in his arms, his feet were suspended in the air, and he spun in place a few times.

"Jing'er, I'm back." While turning Ye Jing'er, Gao Yuan shouted happily.

"Let me go, Li'er is here!" Ye Jing'er was embarrassed, and her little hands beat Gao Yuan's chest.

"Li'er is also here, what are you afraid of, and she is not an outsider.!" Gao Yuan smiled and put Ye Jing'er down on the ground, but he poked his head, and a wave smacked Ye Jing'er's face. This scene made Cao Li'er, who stepped out of the door closely, also look at it, and couldn't help but blush with shame, and hurriedly saluted Gao Yuan, "The governor is back, I'll go first." ”

Seeing Cao Li'er running away as if she was running away, Gao Yuan laughed: "Li'er, Sun Xiaotuo asked me to sue you, he misses you, and when he settles down, he will send someone to pick you up." ”

"Look at you, the Governor, you still talk so crazy, you don't have any decency at all. I don't believe Sun Xiao would let you say that. Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan with disgust, and said while patting the dust on his body for him.

"Sun Xiao thought so, so I said it for him, that wooden stake, I'm afraid that I haven't said a word to Li'er that I love you, right. Cao Li'er must have told you, that kid, but he is far less knowledgeable than me. ”

One sentence made Ye Jing'er blush, "Which one is as shameless as you." When I think of the crazy words that Gao Yuan said sometimes, I was shy and sweet.

There was a loud cry from the house, and when he heard this voice, he laughed and took Ye Jing'er's little hand, "Good boy, I know that your father is back, this is to welcome me!" The cry is so loud, and he will definitely be a good man in the future! (To be continued......)
