After getting out of the mountain valley road, the road is much easier to walk. The only thing that is not so good is that it is white in front of me, no matter which direction you look at, it is the same scenery. The exit to the north of Xiaoguan is not particularly far from Sanshui County, and it is only a few dozen miles away. At the speed of the war horse, it didn't take long for the group to arrive.

When I first entered the city, everything I saw seemed a little desolate, because the few people were now basically living in their homes for a fire. Those who are still walking around the city are either the people who have something to do, or the soldiers and horses who are stationed here.

Because Li Xin wanted to see the real situation in the county, he did not send anyone to inform the generals and county orders stationed in the city. The group went straight to the bottom of the city walls, and was soon discovered by the soldiers guarding the city.

"It seems that the general in charge of this place is still quite vigilant!" Seeing the soldiers waiting on the city wall, those bows and arrows facing him, Li Xin was not angry but happy.

"The one guarding this place is a deputy general, and he is also a veteran of a hundred battles! Last year, because of the war against the Xiongnu, he was promoted to this position and was transferred here to garrison. Li Erhei was more familiar with the situation here, and hurriedly introduced.

"Well, that's good! Soldiers! Don't let your guard down at any time! If he can keep it like this, Sanshui County shouldn't be a big problem here! Li Xin nodded.

As he was talking, the gate on the other side suddenly opened. Then, a group of people rushed out of the city, and soon surrounded Li Xin and his party in the middle.

The soldiers looked serious, although some of them seemed to have traces of frostbite on their faces, but at this moment, it was more of a killing intent. The tip of the spear in his hand, which flashed with cold light, pointed at Li Xin and the others in the middle.

A general in armor rode his horse from the city at this time and came straight to several people. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw the appearance of everyone on the horse, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

This person strode to a few meters in front of Li Xinma, bowed down and said, "The last general, Luo Qing, meet the general!" Where I just disturbed the general, I ask the general to forgive me! ”

As soon as he said this, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but be shocked, and then quickly put away their weapons, knelt on one knee with their guns, and shouted in unison: "See the general!" ”

Li Xin got off the horse, helped Luo Qingxuan, and said to everyone: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy!" It's great that you can be so vigilant and keep the city in check! Thank you all! ”

"Protecting the country and guarding the family is the duty of our soldiers, how dare you say the word hard work! General, please enter the city! Luo Qing hurriedly said humbly.

Li Xin nodded, and walked towards the city, Luo Qing immediately sent someone to inform everyone in the city and let them come to greet him.

Li Xin's sudden visit can be said to have taken everyone in the city into a surprise. Although he knew that he would go to the border at the end of every year to inspect it, no one knew that this time he would come to Sanshui County silently.

Due to the simplicity of the city, the county magistrate and others couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, for fear that the inadequate hospitality would anger Li Xin.

Fortunately, Li Xin is not such a person at all. After entering the city, I first walked around the city, said hello to the soldiers who guarded the city, and some people in the city, and chatted a few words, and then entered the county office.

"The lower officials and others are late to greet them, the county government is shabby, and the general has come from afar to entertain him, and he is guilty of capital crimes!" As soon as they entered the county office, the county magistrate and others knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"Get up! I, Li Xin, am not an arrogant person, when I go out, it is enough to have a tile to cover my body, what more can I ask for! Besides, I know what the situation in Sanshui County is, so how can I criticize you! Get up and talk back! Li Xin couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

It can be seen that this Sanshui County Order should be an old official left from the past, and I don't know which party it came from. Otherwise, if he was a member of the Huashan Army from beginning to end, he would definitely understand his Li Xin's temper.

"Yes, yes, thank you for the general's grace!" Sanshui County Ling stood up at this time.

"It's been more than a year since Sanshui County was restored, and it still doesn't seem to be very prosperous. This is not good, since it has become a place under the rule of our Huashan Army, it must be allowed to flourish. You, who are the county magistrates, have to work harder to restore the Han Dynasty scene here as soon as possible! Li Xin is a little dissatisfied with the current situation in Sanshui County, after all, this time is not long, but it is not short!

"The lower official is guilty! Don't hide it from the general, everything else in Sanshui County is good, but there are few people. Everyone refuses to come to this place, even if the lower officials have a thousand means, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice! When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately bowed down and said.

"It is precisely because I understand this that I do not blame you! Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me? You were transferred here as an official because you are capable, otherwise, how could ordinary mediocre talents be placed in such a difficult place? It is important to know that the more difficult the place, the easier it is to produce results! As long as you do it well, it's a big credit! Do you understand? Li Xin said lightly, this can be regarded as a faint praise for him, and it can be regarded as helping him improve his confidence a little!

Speaking of which, let's talk about the population issue again. There is a large population in Guanzhong, and the same is true in Hedong and other places, the problem is that people go to high places and water flows to low places, and no one wants to come to this kind of border place!

Of course, the place where Sanshui County was located at this time was completely different from the situation in later generations.

Sanshui County is located at the southeast foot of Luoshan Mountain, and in later generations, the ecological conditions of this area have gradually deteriorated. Especially if you go all the way north from here, it is basically a large ~ desert area.

But this time is different, Luo Shan will not talk about it, the ecological conditions have always been very good. Even around Sanshui County, the conditions are actually very good, and if it is used for farming, it is actually enough.

Moreover, since it is located at the junction of agriculture and nomadism, it is possible to farm or graze. Under such conditions, if it was in the Central Plains, or in Guanzhong, I am afraid that it would have been overcrowded many years ago.

There is no way, everyone still has to consider their own net worth and life. The conditions here are good, but no one wants to live a precarious life, and they have to worry every day about whether the enemy from the north will kill them.

After hearing Li Xin's words, the county commander only felt a pride rise in his heart, as if he had confidence in an instant. There is no way, no one has said anything so bluntly about him in the past. At this moment, he suddenly felt full of fighting spirit.

"The general trusts the subordinate so much, it really makes the subordinate ashamed! The lower officials can only smear their liver and brain, and repay their deaths, and govern this Sanshui County! The county commander bowed down and said with some excitement.

"Well, this Sanshui County is different from ordinary places. So, if you have any ideas, you can let them go, but pay attention to discussing them with Luo Qingduo. Only when you cooperate well can you truly make Sanshui County develop. Besides, if you need anything, just give it to your boss! This is the effect you want, Li Xin said with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, the general will definitely manage this place well with the county commander!" Luo Qing also hurriedly responded.

That night, Li Xin settled down in Sanshui County. Because the people in the city were not particularly large, Li Xin simply ordered the army and the people to have fun. In addition to the soldiers on duty, everyone built a bonfire in the city, and a party was held.

After such an activity, the relationship between the military and the people in the city is very harmonious, and I believe that in the future, everyone can really work together to build this Sanshui County. And Li Xin's arrival also moved the soldiers of Sanshui County very much, after all, when the New Year is approaching, everyone can't go home for the New Year, and their mood will inevitably be low.

Early the next morning, Li Xin continued to hurry with a few people, leaving the city and heading west. After crossing the Big and Small Luo Mountains, and then going all the way to the northwest, the fast horse will only need half a day to reach the county. As before, this time they chose to go quietly.

It is not the same as Sanshui County, in fact, it is different from most of the counties under the rule of the Huashan Army today. The only counties that are really similar to it are Xiping County and Didao County, which are close to the border and the territory of the Hu people.

Since taking this place two years ago, and then experiencing a major war, the Huashan Army has completely gained a foothold in Zhujuan County. Later, because of Li Xin's ideas, this county developed very quickly.

Because of the unique conditions, as the only county town under the rule of the Huashan Army, it is also changing almost every day because of the relationship between foreign trade. Especially in winter, many Hu people near the Hetao area are willing to go to the county town to exchange some useful things for themselves.

After two years of communication, the Hu people around Huashan Army have also been greatly affected in their lives, and the biggest change is that the sales of tea to them have begun to increase.

In the past, that kind of tea soup was prevalent in the Central Plains, and ordinary people in the Central Plains could not afford to consume this kind of thing, let alone ordinary Hu people. What's more, to be honest, the taste of tea soup is probably not as good as mare's milk wine and butter tea!

But this tea is very appetizing for him, because the most they eat every day is barbecue or alcohol. So, if you drink this kind of tea, it will feel different. After the initial discomfort, now the sales have increased significantly!
