The reason why the Dongjiang bandits have survived to this day is actually very simple, that is, because it belongs to the junction of two counties, and it is still a mountainous and forest area.

This kind of junction between the two counties is the most difficult to deal with, because the two counties don't want to take care of it, and it is quite troublesome to fight each other.

Moreover, the army of this era is really not very proficient in mountain warfare, and the water bandits are not stupid, they will not stay in place stupidly and wait for the government to send troops to kill them.

All these reasons add up, and the water bandits have been at large until now.

But now that the dragon king is here, the end of the water bandits has come, and it is not difficult for the dragon king to exterminate such water bandits.

The next thing became quite simple, the dragon king asked the soldiers to follow the path up, and he went directly to the base camp of the water bandits, cutting off their back road, these water bandits wanted to run, the dragon king killed some of the most vicious-looking guys, and the group of water bandits fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

The sergeants came forward to receive them, and the merchants identified them one by one, pointing out what bad things these bandits had done, and the dragon king was not soft-hearted, and for those who should be killed, he directly let the sergeants cut off their heads, and the rest were all tied back, and what was waiting for them would be a period of coolies, commonly known as labor reform.

A lot of property was counted from the base camp of the water bandits, and the dragon king asked the soldiers to ask the merchants, and if the merchants could name the specific characteristics of these things, the dragon king would return the property to the merchants, and as for the unspeakable, of course it would be confiscated.

The water bandits were exterminated, and this trip was a success, originally the Dragon King wanted to return immediately, but then he thought about it, since they have all come here, why don't they go to find Wu and see? It's not far off anyway.

So, the dragon king asked the sergeants to tie up those water bandits and go back directly, and he followed some merchants in Xunwu County to Xunwu.

.........

Xunwu County and Longchuan are now frequently exchanged, and there must be a wharf, and the Dragon King followed the fleet of merchants to the wharf of Xunwu County.

The wharf in Xunwu County is similar to that of Longchuan Wharf, and it is very popular, so it can be seen that the business has also changed here very much.

After seeing the appearance of the dragon king, countless people on the dock were stunned, and then, many people knelt down in surprise and joy, shouting to welcome the dragon king, and fell down a large number of them.

After getting the men up, the dragon king went ashore and surveyed the surroundings as if he were his own territory.

A quarter of an hour later, the county lord of Xunwu County came from the county seat on a fast horse.

"Student Gongsun Xun visited the Dragon King, but I didn't know that the Dragon King was here this time..."

Gongsun Xun was bitter in his heart, Nima, why did the Dragon King come to look for Wu quietly? Although Gongsun Xun knew that sooner or later there would be this day, but the dragon king suddenly came, which was also a little too terrifying, when he rode a horse just now, Gongsun Xun sweated profusely, because he was thinking about whether he should sacrifice the city immediately, lest the dragon king kill him.

The Dragon King looked at Gongsun Xun and said lightly: "This king went to Guitou Mountain to exterminate the water bandits, so now I will come to look for Wu and take a look." ”

"Yes." Gongsun Xun didn't dare to speak anymore, this was the first time Gongsun Xun saw the real Dragon King, he felt that he was a little unstable, and the Dragon King seemed to have a great majesty.

Xunwu County can actually be regarded as the home of the Dragon King now, because in this county, at least more than sixty percent of the people believe in the Dragon King, and the rest have a more or less good impression of the Dragon King.

The dragon king went to the county seat, countless people heard the wind, all went out of the house, greeted the dragon king, after a trip, Xunwu County has eighty percent of the people have become the dragon king's believers.

"Gongsun Xun, are you from the Gongsun family in Liaodong?"

"Yes."

"A great family." Dragon King Road.

Hearing this, Gongsun Xun's heart tightened, if it was someone else, Gongsun Xun would think that he was praising him, but this dragon king who has always been regarded as a powerful person near the common people, then this is definitely not praising him.

At this time, Gongsun Xun couldn't be afraid, he thought quickly in his mind, and then said loudly: "Master Longwang, my Gongsun family has no evil deeds in Liaodong, and there are also rescuers from time to time, and the student admits that since he took office, he has always been conscientious and conscientious, and he has not dared to have the slightest slack of affection for the people, and he also asked the Dragon King to be clear. ”

The dragon king was noncommittal, and said an ambiguous word: "That's good." ”

The Dragon King didn't stay long in Xunwu County, and left after taking a turn and treating a few seriously ill people.

Gongsun Xun bowed slightly at the dock and watched the dragon king's male body disappear in front of him, and then he let out a long breath, but then, he was a little dazed again, because he didn't know what to do.

According to the Dragon King's usual style, no county seat he goes to, the county high-level will be replaced, but this time, the Dragon King did not let him step down from the position of county honor, nor did he move the county high-level.

So if you follow this line of thinking, Xunwu County still belongs to the imperial court? But where did Gongsun Xun dare to think like this, the Dragon King had come to visit, and he might have already ruled Xunwu County as his own.

So Gongsun Xun was a little bit of a wax, he didn't know what to do, whether to continue to obey the orders of the imperial court in the future, or to obey the orders of the Dragon King.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gongsun Xun thought about it so much that his brain hurt, and finally, Gongsun Xun made a decision, he resigned, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

Just thinking about resigning, Gongsun Xun thought that if he resigned, wouldn't that mean that he was weak-hearted? What he told the Dragon King that his Gongsun family had no evil deeds, wasn't it all a lie? Otherwise, why would he resign?

Gongsun Xun was in a dilemma.

The Dragon King didn't know what Gongsun Xun thought, he really just came to Xunwu County for a walk, and harvested a few believers by the way, and the result was quite good, this trip to Xunwu, he directly rose more than 30,000 believers, because there are many people in Xunwu County, and it is worthy of the prosperous Yangzhou.

"When the things under the rule are straightened out, Jingyang Erzhou will also be taken as soon as possible." The Dragon King said secretly.

Back in Longchuan County, the Dragon King went directly to Dawan Village and inspected the environment of Dawan Village.

To make a train, it needs to use countless parts, such as steam engines, locomotives, wheels, seats, etc., and the related industries are extremely large, and around a train, it is enough to drive an economy.

The geographical location of Dawan Village is good, anyway, in the opinion of the Dragon King, the nearby land is enough to build a number of factories, and he is only responsible for site selection, and the specific affairs have to be handed over to Li Quan, Ma Jun and Mo Liang.

After making a decision, the Dragon King returned to Longchuan County, found Li Quan, and made a direct decision on the matter, asking Li Quan to start construction in Dawan Village as soon as possible, build the factory, and have related supporting facilities.

The train factory is too huge, and the manpower in Longchuan County is definitely not enough, so it must recruit people from outside.

"Not enough people? Then go to Xunwu County to recruit people, find Gongsun Xun, and let him go to Xunwu to recruit people in the surrounding counties. The Dragon King subconsciously thought of Xunwu County, which he had just visited, if he didn't dig people at this time, when would he stay?

As a result, the largest recruitment wave in history was born.
