In the twelfth year of King Wucheng, at the end of May, Liaobei County Shuangliao City, the Governor's Mansion.

Bo Wang, the military and horse governor of Liaobei County, was discussing the orders of the Junhou Mansion with Hao Xuejun, the county guard of Liaobei County.

Bo Wang said to Hao Xuejun with a solemn face: "Hao Junshou, now the prince has ordered me to lead Hu Guiliang's Second Cavalry Brigade and two newly formed infantry brigades to form a division into the north, and be sure to accept the northern Sushen, Donghu, Zhan, Fuyu and other tribes within the jurisdiction of this year, and go directly to the Outer Xing'an Mountains." After my army leaves, the logistics and garrison are all entrusted to you. ”

Hao Xuejun pondered for a moment and said to Bo Wang: "General Bo, there is no threat of a strong enemy outside my Liaobei County now. After you leave, there is still the First Cavalry Brigade led by General Rong Yan and nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers, and there are enough reserve troops in each county to take on defensive tasks, you can rest assured. ”

Bo Wang nodded, looked at the map on the wall, pointed to the area that had been explored in the northern part of Liaobei County, and said to Hao Xuejun: "Junhou Chang, it is a pity that such fertile land is not developed. I think it's a shame to let these tribes occupy these places here and not develop them. ”

Hao Xuejun also looked at Lintu and said to Bo Wang: "General Bo, this time you lead the army forward." When can I return to Liaobei County at the earliest? ”

Bo Wang laughed and said: "Hao Junshou, don't hide it, our army will go after it." A certain general may not be able to come back, and according to the order of the Prince's Mansion, after occupying this place, a new county may be established. The prince has told me in advance that I may be stationed in this new territory. ”

Hao Xuejun, the county guard, was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Bo Wang: "General, according to the regulations of my Liaodi, the military and the government must be separated. After you leave, I will also temporarily serve as the governor of the military and horses. I don't know who will take over the position of the military and horse governor of Liaobei County? ”

Bo Wang shook his head and said to Hao Xuejun: "Hao Junshou, this certain general doesn't know, you just wait for the news of the Junhou Mansion." ”

At the same time, in the Jilin County Governor's Mansion, Wang Shi, the military and horse governor of Jilin County and the commander of the Second Army, also explained to Zuo Zong, the brigade commander of the cavalry brigade: "General Zuo, according to the order of the Junhou Mansion, I need to lead the army to guard Jilin and take care of the Ji Kingdom. This time, your cavalry brigade and the two newly formed infantry brigades will form a division, appoint you as the division commander, and advance north along the Heihe River and the Songhua River to the mouth of the sea. The many tribes in the north are still in a primitive state according to the law of the princes. You are in charge of your own division, so be cautious. ”

Zuo Zong clenched his fists and said to Wang Shi: "Please rest assured general, a certain general will complete the order of the prince." ”

Wang Shi bowed back and said to Zuo Zong: "So, please." ”

For the development to the north, it was the original plan of Liaodi. And for Ji Kanglai, it is the obsession in his heart. In this vast and fertile area that should have belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty, in Ji Kang's previous life, it was occupied by foreign tribes. This is intolerable to Ji Kanglai no matter what.

Of course, in the process, there will inevitably be some noise. Some officials also believe that the current development of the north, according to Ji Kang's words, is too cost-effective and not worth doing. After hearing the news, Ji Kang was unmoved.

Yes, it is very desolate now, but no one Ji Kang understands how much fertile land and resources this land that is still wild now.

In Ji Kang's previous life, in order to ensure the supply of food, Huaxia had to spend money to go to this land that originally belonged to him to lease land for farming, but this was originally the land that belonged to Huaxia!

When the alien race in the north occupied this land at that time, it was still a nation of less than tens of millions, only one-tenth of the population of the Chinese nation at that time, and the population of the Central Plains countries now. In this way, relying on their own expansion, they occupied such a vast territory, and on what basis did they get it?

Ji Kang said to many officials: "Even if we can't develop it now, it doesn't matter, we can wait for our descendants to develop it!" We must form an actual occupation of these places, and we must erect monuments in the localities, and we must record them in the history books. ”

"Moreover, there are many tribes in this vast area, and there are at least four or five hundred thousand people, which is also a supplement to the population of my Liao land. Among these tribes, there are even tribes that live a so-called "primitive life", they are simple and hard-working, brave and good at fighting, but they are also simple-minded and easy to conquer. As long as they are included in my Liaodi, these people will be very different in a few years. ”

"Again, this is also a good opportunity to train our newly formed troops. In the future, after the formation and training of our recruits in Liaodi are completed, they will have to go to this area to go to this area for evil training." This is a use case. ”

The officials, seeing that their own princes were so insistent, and thinking about Ji Kang's words made sense, they also expressed their support for this decision.

At the beginning of June, Jiang An rushed to Baishan County, Jilin County, and joined up with Ding Wan, the county guard, who had been waiting in clusters. Together with the miners who discovered the gold mine, they came to Pichigou.

Pijiagou was still relatively desolate at this time, with only a few organized villages. And because of its proximity to the country of Ji, the population is scarce, and because of its location, it is even more barren. Of course, there are still some mountain people nearby, according to the name of this era, that is, the people of Huyi. These "wild men" have long been disrupted and included in several villages in Baishan County, and according to the law of Liaodi, they have been "assimilated".

After coming to Pijiagou, Ding Wan, Jiang An and others looked at the golden sand and gravel in the Weisha River and several surrounding rivers, and knew that this gold mine was extraordinary. Seeing the gold and copper ore exposed on the mountain, everyone was not only excited but also excited, shocked or shocked.

Don't want Jiang An and other people, even the county guard Ding Wan was extremely excited when he saw this, touched the beard under his chin, and said to Jiang An: "Lord Jiang, this is the wealth of Liaodi!" ”

Jiang An looked like Ding Wan like this, and said to Ding Wan jokingly: "I think Ding Wan County is guarding the high heart, and the financial revenue of Jilin County will increase significantly in the future!" ”

Ding Wan heard this and nodded. looked at Jiang An, and both of them laughed.

Immediately, the entire Pijiao ditch with a radius of 50 miles was divided into military zones. Major General Tian Dali led a brigade of more than 3,000 troops to Baishan County to take up the defense task of the Pijiagou gold mine, and a field hospital was also established in Pijiagou. According to the order of the Marquis Mansion, Tian Dali was restrained by Jiang An.

When Ding Wan, the county warden of Jilin County, cooperated with Jiang An and settled Jiang An and the others, he returned to Jilin, the county capital. The Pijiagou gold mine was then planned and mined on a large scale.

After several years of development and accumulation, the number of engineering and mining technicians in Liaodi is no longer the same as when Ji Kang first came to Liaodi. Of course, the technology in all aspects is also much more advanced.

In particular, Gewu College, which is affiliated to Xiangping University, graduates every year, are "hot goods" in various industrial zones in Liaodi.

After several years of systematic study in the academy, these students have mastered the most advanced smelting and craftsman techniques of this era, and have continuously deepened various fields of Gewu, especially metal smelting technology.

Originally, only Ji Kang and Shi Kang were familiar with the "three views", but they had already been mastered by the students of Xiangping Academy. Various tools such as T-rulers and splints have become the standard equipment of Xiangping College.

In less than a dozen, with the arrival of thousands of miners and numerous technicians, the wallet ditch suddenly became lively.

In the early days, all the personnel who came to Piclipgou set up tents. But then a large city was gradually built next to the Piclip ditch. With the naked eye, you can see the standard houses standing up quickly in the city.

If Ji Kang is allowed to come here and see this situation, he will definitely feel that our great nation, born with a dedication to building and farming, is deep in the blood and bones.

With the arrival of various materials and machinery, in the following month, a so-called large smelter of this era was built on the land of Pijiagou.
