Yang Shoubei frowned and said, "What? Mr. Li still suspects someone Yang?! ”

Li Yan smiled and arched his hand: "At an extraordinary time, please forgive Yang Shoubei." ”

At this time, Yang Shoubei's heart was already happy, a Jinshi master, who had a promising future in the imperial history, was called by a small general to drink, so he didn't hold a grudge? He didn't say anything more, but asked his own soldiers to inform Gao Mingheng.

After a while, Gao Mingheng came over pacing the official steps, wearing a cyan official uniform, and the complement was a pair of emu (pronounced "west wings"). Gao Mingheng came to the opposite side of Li Yan, stood still, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "You are Li Yan?" ”

Yang Shoubei got off the horse early, and was looking at Li Yan gloating at this time. Li Yan also got off the horse and arched his hand: "It's Li Yan down there." May I ask Gao Xun, can you see the predecessor Liu Xunpress? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Gao Mingheng frowned and asked.

Li Yan said with a smile: "I have had a relationship with Liu Xun, and I can be considered to get along." So care about it. ”

Gao Mingheng said with some regret: "Brother Yuqin is begging for rest due to illness. ”

Li Yan heard Liu Xunji say that he would resign when he returned to the capital, so he also said regretfully: "I didn't expect Liu Xunji to really resign, it's a pity." Gao Xun pressed, offended, please press Haihan. ”

Gao Mingheng asked, "Did the thieves pretend to be officials and soldiers?" ”

Li Yan shook his head and explained, "That's not true, but there are a lot of clothes and armor stolen from the officials and soldiers among the thieves. If they wanted to pretend to be officers and soldiers, they would not have any difficulty. We must take strict precautions and not be taken advantage of by thieves. ”

Gao Mingheng nodded and said with appreciation: "Sure enough, you are a talent, Liu Xunji has a lot of praise for you and Su County Ling." Even Your Majesty personally praised the Su County Order. ”

"Liu Xun praised it according to the fallacy." Li Yan said politely: "Please press the sedan chair on Gao Xun, let's go to the county seat." ”

Yang Shoubei listened to the conversation between Li Yan and Gao Mingheng in the back, and he was so angry in his heart. He felt that this Gao Mingheng was really good-tempered, and he was actually handled by Li Yan in a few words, and he didn't lose his temper, which was really a shame for the civil officials.

Gao Mingheng asked, "How far is it from here to the county seat?" ”

Li Yan replied: "Twenty-five miles." ”

Gao Mingheng nodded, and then said unexpectedly: "General Li has an extra war horse, so give Ben a horse?" ”

Li Yan looked at Gao Mingheng in surprise, not knowing what this patrolman meant.

Gao Mingheng smiled: "Looking at the field in front, it doesn't look like a barren field. Liu Xun said that the resettlement of displaced people and the reclamation of wasteland in Qixian County is a good way to reassure the people and prevent thieves. Ben wanted to see with his own eyes how Qixian was doing. ”

Li Yan was not afraid of him looking at it, so he ordered: "Give Gao Xun a batch of horses." ”

Gao Mingheng skillfully got on the horse, and then walked side by side with Li Yan towards the county seat, but left Yang Shoubei there and didn't pay attention to it.

Yang Shoubei snorted angrily as Li Yan and Gao Mingheng walked away, and roared angrily: "What are you doing in a daze?!" Get the tree out of the way! ”

By the time Yang's subordinates removed the trees placed on the official road, Li Yan's troops had already put away their cannons and lined up three columns to the south. However, they did not completely relax their vigilance, leaving a dozen or so cavalry behind them to walk slowly, looking back at the ranks of Yang Garrison from time to time, as long as there was any abnormal movement, they would immediately warn.

Gao Mingheng looked at the fields on both sides, some of which were planted with vegetables, and some of which were not planted, so he asked, "Why don't these fields grow things?" ”

Li Yan replied: "These are going to grow cotton. Food, clothing, housing and transportation must be taken care of in all aspects. Otherwise, the people would not be able to stay here with peace of mind. ”

Gao Mingheng said with a smile: "People are cannibalistic everywhere, but you have to take care of other things here, it's really good." ”

"No way, people don't live just to eat, there will always be other needs." Li Yan also replied with a smile.

Outside the county seat, I saw the construction site that was under construction, and at this time the recruits on the construction site had received a notice that the alarm had been lifted, and they were disbanded again and continued to start the construction of the barracks.

"What is this doing?" Gao Mingheng asked.

Li Yan replied: "It's building a barracks, and these soldiers can't be put in the city." ”

"Oh?" Gao Mingheng asked with interest, "Then how many soldiers do you have?" ”

"Fifteen hundred." Li Yan did not hide it and replied directly.

Gao Mingheng nodded with satisfaction. Now he was even more convinced that the great victory of Qixian County was real, and with such 1,500 elite soldiers, it was indeed able to protect the safety of the county.

When he arrived in the county seat, Gao Mingheng saw the blacksmith workshop emitting black smoke and the tall blast furnace. He asked, "Blacksmith?" ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Yes, the soldiers' swords, guns and arrows are all to be built here." The cost of combat is very high, especially arrows, and it is really not good to do without an ironshop. ”

Gao Mingheng didn't ask much, and saw a county magistrate dressed neatly, and hurriedly trotted over here with all kinds of subordinates in the county.

"Su Jing, the county commander of Qixian County, has seen Gao Xun's press." Su Jing came to Gao Mingheng's horse, bowed down and saluted: "If you can't go out of the city to greet you, please forgive me." ”

The other county officials, the main bookkeeper, and other canons and team leaders all knelt down and bowed: "The lower official (villain) has seen the patrol press!" ”

Li Yan took the horse away at the right time, and then dismounted, avoiding the salute of Su Jing and the others. And Gao Mingheng also got off the horse and said with a smile: "Su County Order doesn't need to be polite, please get up too." ”

Su Jing straightened his waist and said with a smile: "Gao Xun, why didn't you give notice in advance when you came here?" Now the road is not safe, so I can send General Li to pick up the patrol. ”

Gao Mingheng remembered that he was forcibly changed by Yang Shoubei, but it was not good to say it in front of everyone now, so he explained: "Originally, I was going to take the test city, and I changed my mind because of safety issues on the way." It is really rude not to send someone to inform your county in time. ”

Su Jing listened to the explanation and finally felt relieved. As long as it's not a micro-service, although he is still honest, he still accepts the usual filial piety and rules. Although it is said that every official will accept it, but after all, it is a crime, and when it is not exposed, it is good to me, but once it is taken out to say something, it is a real crime.

Su Jing and the main bookkeeper, the county Cheng and Ma Dianshi all got up, but Zhang Dianshi and they still knelt and didn't get up, which made people look abrupt.

"Everyone, get up, no need to be polite." Gao Mingheng said again.

At this time, Zhang Dianshi touched the ground with his forehead and shouted loudly: "Patrol the adult, the villain has a grievance to claim!" Please take charge of the Patrol Adult! ”

"Please take charge of the Inspector and make the decisions for us!" The rest of the kneeling people also kowtowed and pleaded loudly.
