The three counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi County have been completely connected by a wide avenue, the east-west traffic artery built by Guo Quan has passed through the winding mountain, drilled out from the Cuiping Mountain, and then has been extending to the distance, on the cement hardened road with a width of about six meters, carrying the economic connection between the two places, the special products of Liaodong, grain, and rich mineral deposits are now being continuously transported into the interior through this road.

In recent years, Liaodong is developing rapidly, Gao Yuan used to say that the Donghu people are completely sitting on the treasure mountain to live a poor life, and now this treasure land is in his hands, naturally it will play his due role, and its richness will become a booster for the progress of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the convenience of the road now, in less than ten days, Gao Yuan has appeared in Helin, compared with previous years, and Helin has now undergone great changes, the former capital of the Donghu people was originally the political and economic center of Liaodong, and is still the largest city in the three counties of Liaodong.

After the re-planning of the city is clean and tidy, under the stimulation of the Han policy, countless merchants and gold diggers poured into this city that was previously called the land of barbarians, a large amount of capital investment, a large number of people poured in, so that Helin developed rapidly, and now Helin has a permanent population of more than 100,000, not losing to the general county town in the mainland.

The Han King Gaoyuan's patrol, naturally is one of the biggest things for Helin now, this is the first time after Gao Yuan's conquest of Donghu, up and down will be this Han King's patrol as an opportunity for Helin to take off again, from half a month ago, and Lin in order to welcome the arrival of the Han King and began to make preparations, the city was cleaned inside and out, and the shops and shops in the city, the merchant inn and even the signboards were replaced with new ones. Sun Xiao, the protector of the Eastern Capital Protectorate, also arrived in Helin from Dayan County a few days in advance, preparing to meet Gao Yuan.

"Back to Daduhu, the king is still ten miles away from Lincheng." One by one, scouts kept coming from afar, reporting to Sun Xiao who was standing at the gate of the city.

"Dadu Hu, don't we really want to go forward to greet you?" Mao Dewang, the Shou of Liaolin County, said a little uneasily.

"No, you may not know the king's temper. If you really want to greet it with great fanfare, and even make some scenes of welcoming the people, the king may lose his temper, but now it is very good, the officials are in peace, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is actually what the king wants to see the most. Besides, haven't you done a lot of preparation to welcome the king? I'll see it after I came. Helin is much cleaner than the last time I came! Sun Xiao said with a smile.

Mao Dewang laughed dryly, the last time Sun Xiao came over, he and Lin were really dirty.

"You have been the county guard for two years, Liaoning County has developed rapidly, the government is harmonious, and the king has a high opinion of you." Sun Xiaodao: "This time you have the opportunity to face, you have to grasp it well, you know." The political affairs of the Han Dynasty are generally managed by the political affairs hall, and there are no special opportunities. There weren't many times when the county guards wanted to see the king, and the king thought that if he saw these county guards too much, he would interfere with the administration of the government hall without meeting them. ”

"The king's thoughts, we courtiers are really a little incomprehensible, maybe our wisdom can't keep up with the king's wisdom, right?" Mao Dewang whispered, as himself. In the past, if you go back to Beijing to report on your work, you must have to meet the king, but in the Han Dynasty. It is really difficult for ordinary county guards to see the king, even if those old county guards who have followed the king from poverty to prosperity, when they arrive in Jicheng, they will be entertained by the king's family banquet, but for their governance, the king generally does not say a word.

The general manager of all kinds made Mao Dewang think that the king of the Han Dynasty was really a little incompatible with the king in his own understanding. Mao Dewang looked back at the sparse crowd of welcomes behind him, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

"It's coming, it's coming!" In the welcoming crowd behind him, someone shouted excitedly. The two men who were talking turned their heads and saw that the flag in the distance was rapidly approaching, and it was only the vanguard of the escort.

Wu Ya turned over and dismounted, strode in front of Sun Xiao, and gave a military salute: "Wu Ya has seen Sun Duhu and Mao Junshou." The lowly official was ordered to arrive first to take over the defense and vigilance of Helin City, and asked the two of them to give convenience. ”

"Of course, of course." Mao Dewang nodded again and again, and turned around to call the two of them, "General Wu, one of these two is Feng Dong, the garrison commander of Helin City, and the other is the police chief Shen Ming, and these two people have always been in charge of Lin defense. ”

"There are two Laos!" Wu Yachong nodded at the two.

"General Wu, please."

The 1,000 guards who followed Wu Ya as the vanguard quickly entered the city, taking over the various key checkpoints and the area where Gao Yuan will be stationed, which is not as good as Fufeng City, after all, it has not been a few years since he was naturalized into the Han Dynasty, and there are many people of all kinds, and he naturally does not dare to be careless at all.

After about a pillar of incense, Gao Yuan's brigade appeared under the city.

Pushing the car door, Gao Yuan jumped out of the carriage, strode in front of Sun Xiao, and grabbed Sun Xiao, who was about to salute, "Old brother, what are you doing so much, Sun Xiao, we haven't seen each other for almost two years, right?" The last time we met, when we agreed to set up the Third Military Region, I haven't seen you for two years, but you have been blessed, look at this big belly, if you don't say it, it will be difficult for others to believe that you have led troops to fight for many years! ”

Staring at Sun Xiao's already obviously bulging belly, Gao Yuan laughed and patted his chest proudly, "Look at me, I still have eight-pack abs and a pretty big figure." ”

"How can a subordinate be compared to a king?" Sun Xiao said with a smile: "Over the years, I have been busy with cases, and there are endless official documents all day long, and many times there is no pattern for those who are hungry and full, either clear soup and little water, or overeating, so it's strange if you don't get fat!" ”

"Cao Li'er doesn't care about you, your body is the capital, especially if you come down from the battlefield, which one is not a body injury, if you don't take care of it, maybe you won't be able to get along with you one day." Gao Yuan patted Sun Xiao's shoulder, "Haven't you ever had a good time?" I heard that you have added another big fat boy, and you have given birth to three in five years, and your kid is very efficient! ”

"The king will support Dayan County next, and Li'er will drag the three boys, so I will let her wait in Dayan City to take over." Sun Xiao said with a smile. "She, now her mind is on the body of three boys, whether I am dead or alive, she doesn't bother to care about Luo!"

Both of them laughed, a woman has a child, and indeed most of her mind will be transferred to the child.

Mao Dewang looked at Sun Xiao and the king's enthusiasm with some envy, of course, he also knew that he couldn't compare with Sun Xiao at all, it was the king's old subordinates, old brothers, and not only the relationship between superiors and subordinates, like Sun Xiao's brother-in-law Cao Tianci is the king's personal apprentice, Sun Xiao's wife was the princess's personal maid, as for the old Cao family, now it is one of the top famous families in the Han Dynasty, Cao Tiancheng gave up politics and business, and now Cao's car and horse shop is one of the top businessmen.

"Liaoning County Shou Mao Dewang has seen the king." After Gao Yuan and Sun Xiao finished greeting, their eyes turned to Mao Dewang, Mao Dewang hurriedly bowed his hand, speaking of which, this is the second time he has seen the king, the first time is to take up his post, but it is a routine matter, and more than a dozen feudal officials resigned to the king together. And this time was the second time, and it was also the first time he met the King of Han up close.

"Mao Junshou, you have done a good job in Liaoning County, Liaoyao County has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is inseparable from your contributions." Gao Yuan looked up at the current Helin City, "Look, Sun Xiao, when we laid down here at that time, this place could also be compared with one of our county towns at that time, but now it is different, and many counties in the mainland can't compare with it, right?" ”

"What's that, in the past few years, a large amount of money has poured in, speaking of which, the land of Liaodong can be full of treasures, with money, with people, if it can't be developed, then is there still heavenly reason?" Sun Xiao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let's hurry up and enter the city, otherwise the people in the city who want to see the king will block the road in a while." Mao Junshou carefully prepared a banquet in the county guard's mansion, and the people who came to accompany him were all local celebrities. ”

"Well, okay, okay." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Of course, I want to see it, the great development of Liaoning County has the credit of Mao County Shou, and also their credit!" By the way, Ke Yuanshan is still with Lin, right? ”

"Yes, he is waiting for the king in the palace, and now Councilor Ke is preparing to build a medical university in Helin, to pass on his medical skills to future generations, many big businessmen are willing to invest money into it, and now he is busy with this." Maudwan Road.

"That's good." Gao Yuanxi said: "The decree to allow private capital to open a university has just been issued, I didn't expect Ke Yuanshan to take action, his medical skills are a must, even Minister Qiu is full of praise, I was worried about his secret skills before, now he is willing to open a school, you must vigorously support the local government, we are not short of weapons, we are not short of troops, we lack high-level doctors!" This school is set up, and a lot of doctors can be trained for you every year, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Mao County Shou, your Liaoning County is the first, look back, let the government hall be well commended, and the Ministry of Finance should also mean it, in order to show the support of the center! ”

Hearing this, Mao Dewang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, our place has no shortage of medicinal herbs, there is a shortage of doctors, and it would be great if the Ministry of Finance could support it." I'll report to the Ministry of Finance right away. ”

Seeing Mao Dewang's joyful expression, Sun Xiao said jokingly on the side: "Mao Junshou, then you have to hurry, while there is still a special amount in the hands of Minister Wang of the Ministry of Finance who has not been disbursed, later, then there will be nothing." Minister Wang's temperament, when the time comes, be careful when there is a greeting from the king, and he will not buy it. ”

Gao Yuan laughed, "Indeed, that iron rooster tried to pluck one of his hairs, and it was a little difficult. (To be continued......)
