After patrolling the villages of Taihang, Liu Yuan simply joined the Shangdang in the south and walked around the territory of the Shangdang to see the military, government and people's livelihood. If you want to say that the domains that Xia Guo now controls, it is that it has not yet fulfilled its responsibilities in the party.

Shangdang County is a basin surrounded by mountain ranges, leaning on Taihang in the east, Huo Tai in the west, and blocked by Wangwu and Yangtou Mountains in the north and south, which looks very "self-contained". However, it occupies the spine of the world, with its high and dangerous terrain, and its military strategic position is extremely high.

According to this, the Xia State can control Heluo in the south and Jizhou in the east, although the county is now very dilapidated, but Liu Yuan attaches great importance to it. Kebineng, a capable Xia general, was placed in the party, which shows his heart.

Liu Yuan came to inspect, but he couldn't see anything. At the beginning of the year, Shangdang was taken down by the Xia army, and Min Chun was appointed as the Taishou, but what he inherited was nothing more than a ruined county ravaged by war.

After nearly a year of painstaking business recovery, there has finally been some improvement, and it is estimated that the first batch of taxes paid by the party in the coming year will be collected. The counties are a little peaceful, and they can't be uneasy, Kebi can have a tendency to implement the "White Terror" in the county, be a Shunmin of Great Xia, live a good life, and everything is fine. Otherwise...... The Xia army was short of conscription.

Shangdang Zhizhi was ordered by Liu Yuan to move from his eldest son to Huguan, where Kebineng garrisoned troops. It is called civil and military cooperation, but in fact, Liu Yuan is not too relieved to put Min Chun alone in a city, just like Yanmen guards Guo Yi too much, and there is Da Xiling next to him to lead the army to "protect".

However, it depends on Min Chun's governance of the party in the past year, persuading farmers to teach mulberry farming, resuming production, repairing the city, dredging ditches, collecting displaced people, and storing grain in the fields, everything is in order. was conscientious and conscientious, which made Liu Yuan completely let down his guard, and he was encouraged.

Huguan is the east gate of the party, and in Liu Yuan's heart, it is the fortress of Guanhe that attaches equal importance to the wells in the north. After walking around the pass, he was quite satisfied with its defense, Kebi was able to be born as a cavalry general of the Hu clan, and it was beyond Liu Yuan's expectations to be able to do it at this time.

Standing on the head of Huguan City, Liu Yuan ** stared at the cold wall tiles that penetrated his heart and lungs, and swept his afterglow towards Ke Bineng, who was standing on the side. Ke Bineng, this "Xianbei King" in his previous life has been serving himself for many years, he is really talented, these years Liu Yuan has witnessed his growth from a small tribal leader to a general of the Xia Kingdom step by step.

Maybe he has a prophetic opinion, and Liu Yuan still has a little jealousy in his heart, and his suspicion has never subsided, but he has never shown it.

"Kebineng, it's been nearly a year, and staying in the party is very boring!" Liu Yuan said this abruptly.

Kebineng didn't know what Liu Yuan meant, and looked at Liu Yuan with some confusion, Liu Yuan smiled: "The party is not self-sufficient, but Hanoi in the south can be very rich, if you have the heart, you can lead the army to the south in the coming year." Alone you are the governor of Heluo, and you have the right to pass through Heluo! ”

When Kebi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was overjoyed: "Thank you to the king, the end will not disappoint the king!" "After staying in the party for so long, Kebi can really have the mind to move.

"Of course, the defense against Jizhou in the east must not be relaxed!" Liu Yuan mentioned again: "Wei County is close at hand, the place where Yuan's military strength is accumulated, if the party makes a mistake, Lone will not spare you!" ”

"The king can rest assured, the ministers can introspect!" Kobi was able to assure immediately.

"Also, there is a big family in Hanoi, the Sima clan, if you have the opportunity, pay a visit for Gu!" Liu Yuan added another sentence.

was a little confused by Liu Yuan, Kebineng still responded in a deep voice: "Obey the order!" ”

"Lone is about to return to Jinyang, go to the party, Lone is still handed over to the two of you! In the coming year, it is impossible to predict where the situation in China should go, and the party is the weight of merging the state, and it is the weight of my Xia country, so we must be extremely cautious! ”

"No!" Kebineng and Min Chun solemnly gave Liu Yuan a big salute.

……

Inspecting the party was a sudden idea, so naturally it would not take too much time, and the next day, Liu Yuan returned from Huguan to the north. As for the Shangdang county in the south, it is not much better than the northern county, and there is no need to go.

Wang drove slowly, the road was untidy, and the road was bumpy all the way, dangling on top of the car, while Liu Yuan closed his eyes and sorted out what he had gained from this trip south.

"Wen You, what do you think of Shangdang under the rule of Lonely?"

"There are a lot of troops stationed in each county!" Li Ru replied simply: "Suppressing it with strong troops is not a long-term solution!" ”

Liu Yuan was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Governing Han with Hu is not a long-term solution!" ”

"You said that if you spread the world widely and summoned great talents to vote, how would the world react?"

Li Ru stopped talking, and looking at his reaction, Liu Yuan knew that I was afraid that the effect would not be surprising. However, this thought flashed through his mind, and he was remembered by Liu Yuan in the bottom of his heart.

"Where have you been?" Seeing that the road was getting more and more bumpy, Liu Yuan couldn't help but lift the curtain and asked.

"Back to the king, this place is in the territory of Nie County, and in front of it is the vein of Sheep's Head Mountain!" Long Xuce immediately replied.

Poked his head out and looked forward, and sure enough, in front of him, the peaks of the sheep's head stood in front of him, as if to block his way. At the place of the road, the mountain is quite high, look into the distance, go two or three miles away, there is a mountain hill, and there is a village under the gang.

Liu Yuan thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Turn to the west and go to Zhuangzi to rest for one night." "Here, I haven't seen the local township, so I should observe the people's feelings.

The tranquility of the village was soon shattered, and a squad of guards broke in forcefully, causing a flurry of chickens and dogs to jump. When Gao Shun arrived, all the people were driven out of their houses and waited in the cold wind to meet the king.

"Have all the villagers been driven out?" Gao Shun asked in a cold voice.

"Lord Hui, they have all rushed to Zhuangkou to wait! There is no one in the village anymore! The team leader pointed to an old man and said, "This is the chief here!" ”

Gao Shun glanced at the lieutenant: "Prince Xia is here, ready to welcome!" ”

When the chief who was a little nervous heard this, he was even more panicked, he had heard the movement outside, and he thought that there was a strong man coming, but he expected that he was the pawn of the Xia Kingdom. Now that the king of Xia has arrived, he can't help but be nervous, how did his own dilapidated small village attract Hu Xia's **oss.

"Get on your knees! Get on your knees! Soon, King Liu Yuan arrived, and after a slight confusion, all the old and young of the village fell to the ground.

was led to the chief's house, drank a sip of the hot soup in the countryside, and looked at his home, although it was not a family with four walls, it was not much worse. The lieutenant chief, how can he be considered a small official, he is like this, but he thinks about the rest of the people.

"Summer ...... King of Summer! The lieutenant fidgeted and said to Liu Yuan very restrainedly.

"It's handsome, is it so scary?" Seeing his reaction, Liu Yuan suddenly looked at Li Ru and Wei Qi and joked.

"The villagers are ignorant and intimidated by the king's might, and please don't be surprised by the king!" Wei Qi smiled at Liu Yuan.

"Get up!" Liu Yuan said to Li Chang: "How many people are there in this township? ”

"There are 128 households in the township, with a total of more than 400 people." Nervousness was still inevitable, replied in a trembling voice.

"Oh?" Liu Yuan was a little curious: "In Shangdang, this is a big township!" ”

"How was survival under the rule of Great Xia? Is it as sung by the Han people, the Han people are in dire straits? Liu Yuan smiled playfully.

"The king is serious!" Li Chang brushed the ground and knelt on the ground: "The villains in other places don't know, after the queen is attached, there is stability everywhere here, and the robbers and bandits who used to invade the township are gone." There was also a decree in the county that the new Taishou decreed that the land was redivided, and we were exempted from taxes and forced labor for this year, and the people had a rare and stable life this year. ”

"Huh!" Liu Yuan chuckled: "It seems that Min Chun has done a really good job, and even this township can hear his decree!" ”
