Seeing that Zhou Nan only came back at this time, Lao Zheng Tou rolled his eyes; And the 100 cavalry that Zhou Nan carried behind him also made Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi roll their eyes at Zhou Nanqi, in short, they were not welcomed.

After Zhou Nan left Gao Yun, he sent Zuo Xiaosi and Monk Jia to Yanjing City the next day, and entered Yanjing in advance under the identity of You Fang Monk, so as to make intelligence preparations for the future occupation of Yanjing.

The next step is to start arranging the big and small things in the two state capitals. Before Yang Keshi returned, Zhou Nan first arranged for Gao Feng and Wang Yi to be in charge of the administrative affairs of Yizhou and Zhuozhou respectively; Let Zhao Heshou and Han Bi be responsible for the anti-theft, public security, and city defense matters in Yizhou and Zhuozhou respectively.

In the past few days, Zhou Nan has frequently run back and forth between Zhuozhou and Yizhou, and Wang Yi and Zhao Heshou have taken their families with or without their willingness, and they will never engage in house arrest and coercion. The main reason is that Zhou Nan gave them the opportunity to choose at the beginning: those who are willing to lead troops to fight and make meritorious contributions can arrange positions in the army, if they want to seek stability, then as long as they make arrangements, they will win Yanjing in the future, and their achievements will not be less.

In this way, Gao Feng and Wang Yi were naturally willing to manage civil affairs, while Zhao Heshou and Han Bi were willing to obey Zhou Nan and be responsible for the security of the city, and Zhao Xuan, the deputy commander of the township soldiers, was willing to work in the army, and Zhou Nan had no arrangement. Because there were no township soldiers in Yizhou City, five hundred township soldiers from Zhuozhou were sent to Yizhou and handed over to Zhao Heshou to lead. In the future, when the soldiers and horses are selected and trained, the weak soldiers who are eliminated will be enriched into the village soldiers.

The soldiers and horses of the two cities have not moved for the time being, and they are still stable with Shi Yue and Yang Dachun restraining them. Zhou Nan and a few other people such as Wang Yi arrived at work, and with Zhou Nan's guarantees and promises, Gao Feng and the four of them performed their duties, but they were conscientious. And these people do have some talents, and they have a clue about everything in the city, and it is no longer the chaos that people in the city are afraid of before.

At this time, Zhou Nan thought that the most important thing for him had not yet been settled, so he went to the Dongsheng Inn alone, dressed in civilian clothes, found Zhou Fu who stayed in the inn, and asked him to assign the seven Eagle Guards under Zuo Xiaosi to the two state cities, and secretly pay attention to the movements in the city, especially the situation in the army, and must not stab him in the North Back Street of these newly incorporated soldiers when he leaves.

After arranging everything, Zhou Nancai took people back to Sanssouci Village.

Seeing that Lao Zheng Tou and Gao Yuan were all rolling their eyes, Zhou Nan could only laugh with him and appease them one by one. Let Han Gui take out a thick burden first, open it, it is a suitcase, open the suitcase, and it is full of two layers, full of plates of delicacies, still hot.

As soon as Lao Zheng Tou smelled the pungent aroma, he was full of smiles. Zhou Nan sighed deliberately again: "It's also my fault, there are too many things under the mountain, and I can't be busy alone-Old Zheng Tou, you see: at present, there is one less commander to lead troops in the two states, so where can I find such a person?" ”

Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Nan's arm, Gao Yuan smiled heavily, and said with a smile: "Da Lang, don't you think I'm not suitable?" ”

Yang Keshi was not far behind, and said hurriedly: "Da Lang, I was the commander of five thousand elite horsemen back then." You can't give it to anyone else. ”

Zhou Nanxian asked people to settle down and bring a hundred cavalry soldiers, and took Lao Zhengtou, Gao Yuan, and Yang Keshi to see the new village on the mountain in the south first, especially to see the sulfur warehouse. Seeing that the sulfur reservoir is alone on the edge of the cliff, surrounded by dense forests within 20 zhang, I am relieved. In the future, it will not be convenient for people to live in the new worry-free village, and it will not be convenient to build a house near the sulfur warehouse, so that even if there is danger, it will not hurt the innocent.

Lao Zheng asked puzzledly: "Da Lang, how do you want 100,000 catties of sulfur?" What's the use of coming? ”

Zhou Nan saw that there was still Yang Keshi by his side, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I am preparing to sell crude drugs in the future." This sulfur can drive away the plague and avoid filth, and it will occupy Yanjing in the future, which will be very useful, but I am afraid that there is no place to buy it if I have money. ”

Lao Zheng Tou listened to what he said vaguely, and didn't ask any more questions. Zhou Nan pointed to the area of the sulfur warehouse and said to the old Zheng Tou: "Doctor Zheng, you will arrange a few more people in a few days, thirty zhang away from the sulfur warehouse, fence it with a wooden tree, leave only one gate, and then send someone to guard it, and no one is allowed to approach." Remember, this is a strict command, and no one can break it. ”

Lao Zheng hurriedly said: "There is only one sulfur warehouse, what does it matter? Is it worth such fanfare? Besides, who will be in charge of this brimstone storehouse? Zhou Nan didn't say much, just smiled: "I have already thought of a candidate, and I will know when the time comes." ”

The four of them went up to the wall of the south wall, and saw that the newly built wall was as solid and thick as the north wall, extending to the east and west. Because of Yang Keshi's guidance, the horse wall and the female wall are all available, echoing the wall in the north. Zhou Nan was greatly admired, and said to Lao Zheng Tou from the bottom of his heart: "It's really hard, I want to toast Dr. Zheng a few cups tonight." ”

Lao Zheng Tou said with relief: "Count you kid still thinking about me." Dalang, you're okay outside, I'm relieved. ”

Gao Yuan took the opportunity to say: "Da Lang, you don't know, since you are not in the village, our Family Protector has recruited a lot of people, and now there are more than 200 people in the Family Guardian Society. I practice every day, now you see," Gao Yuan pointed to the soldiers on duty on the wall of Xinzhai and said: "All of them are practicing according to the three you said at the beginning, and there is no soft egg!" ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "This time the new village has been built, and the defense is more solid." If you and I go down the mountain, I can rest assured. ”

"Really?!" Gao Yuan heard Zhou Nan say that he was going to take him down the mountain, and asked happily.

Yang Keshi snorted coldly on the side and said, "Brother Gao, if you don't ask him, he will take you down the mountain." ”

Zhou Nan couldn't help but look at Yang Keshi twice, and said, "Yang Datou, why did you still beg me just now?" How do you understand it now? ”

Yang Keshi said proudly: "Just now, I saw that you were looking at the treasury and the wall, and you came back in a hurry, so I knew that you were going to go to Yanjing in the near future, of course you need manpower." Yes and no? ”

The four of them laughed and laughed, then returned to Beizhai, and looked at the newly built armory, grain depot, etc., seeing that it was getting late, they went to Lao Zhengtou's house, Han Gui and Ma Daqiu had already prepared wine and food for the four of them, and they had to serve the four of them to drink, Zhou Nan said: "You two have also worked hard in recent days, there is half a jar of good wine here, go to the kitchen to get some dishes, and drink a few glasses." The two thanked Zhou Nan and went down with the wine jar in their arms.

Lao Zheng Tou, Zhou Nan and the other four people lit the oil lamp and drank a few glasses of wine happily, and Zhou Nan said to the three of them: "At present, I have arranged the civil affairs, public security and anti-theft of Zhuozhou and Yizhou, and only the training of soldiers and horses remains." It's up to both of you. When the soldiers and horses are well trained, it is time to capture Yanjing. ”

Gao Yuan asked strangely: "Brother Yang and I each lead an army, what about you?" ”
