After Du Bian successfully completed the mission, he expressed to Gao Shun that he was willing to resign from his township post and join Taoyuan Fort.

Gao Shun was very satisfied with the success of his mission, and listened to Dubo Wei Wei's report on the situation at that time, saying that his performance in the Xiongnu was very exciting, besides, Taoyuan Fort is now lacking such a slippery person who is familiar with the situation of the Han Dynasty, so Gao Shun agreed to him to join Taoyuan Fort and appointed him as the position of foreign affairs steward, declaring to the outside world that he was a foreign affairs steward and enjoying the treatment of a cavalry commander.

Now that the war with the Xiongnu is over, there is no danger for the time being, and Du Bian has not made a request to move.

In order to go out to do things conveniently, Gao Shun also gave him a table word "Meng Yuan", Meng is the ranking of his family, far away corresponds to his name, the meaning of remote, Du Bian is very happy.

The first job that Du Bian accepted was to go to Luoyang to find out the price and requirements for buying the Taishou of the border counties, focusing on Youzhou Daijun, Shanggu County and Jizhou Changshan State, if possible, Gao Shun wanted to buy an official position for his subordinates first, and gradually accumulate strength to prepare for the hegemony in the late Han Dynasty.

More importantly, the three counties he selected were connected, and they lived separately in the two states of Youyou and Hebei, so that they could quickly occupy these two states in the future; At present, it is convenient to understand the latest information of the two states and expand commercial trade; Daijun, Shanggu and Yanmen are located in the same Datong basin and several small basins connected to the east, so they must work together to deal with Xianbei; Shanggu County guards Juyong Pass, and once an incident occurs, it can go straight down to Youzhou, which is convenient for expanding the chassis; The distance between Changshan and Taiyuan County and Dai County and Yanmen County is very close, and it is very convenient to come and go through the Flying Fox Trail and the Well Path, and it will be convenient to go straight to Jizhou in the future.

Du Bian saw Gao Shun's grand goal from it, and he was very excited in his heart, he really didn't see the wrong person, and happily went to Luoyang, and promised to complete the task and find out in detail.

In order to take care of its safety, Gao Shun sent Wei Wei to lead a cavalry escort, they had been to the Xiongnu together, and now the two sides are very familiar with each other, and the cooperation is not bad, so they will not be replaced.

In the following time, Gao Shun made every effort to build the castle, and started the construction of 3 places for the first time, namely Sanchakou Fort, Jiabishan South Fort and Zhaozhuang Fort. According to Gao Shun's plan, the two plains separated by these three forts are both horse ranches and are temporarily kept secret from the outside world.

After the Huns sent cattle, sheep and horses, the horses were grazed on these two plains, and the cattle were sold except for their own use, and the same was true for the sheep, leaving enough for their own consumption, and all the sales were exchanged for funds. At that time, the Xiongnu envoys proposed that they would not sell ewes, cows and mares, all of which were male, so there was no possibility of breeding.

These three forts were built by Cao Shan, Sun Cheng and Zhou Fei respectively; Each led 4 stonemasons, 100 sword and shield soldiers, and 100 pikemen; The castle is currently being built, and the castle is stationed afterwards.

The three forts are all planned as 120-meter squares, with a large barracks, training grounds and warehouses inside, and no other ancillary facilities for the time being.

The purpose of Gaoshun's construction of these three forts is to occupy these chassis and upgrade the system as soon as possible.

Outsiders only know that Gao Shun built Zhaozhuang Castle, and outsiders don't know about the other two fortresses for the time being, and this has made the people of Xixiang very happy, if Zhaozhuang Fort is built, it will definitely block the attack of the Huns; Of course, only a few people knew about the reconciliation and trade with the Xiongnu, and they were required by Gao Shun to keep it strictly confidential and not to leak it.

According to the plans and designs of the stonemasons, the castle is made of half-meter-thick stone on the outside and 1 foot thick on the inside, with a rammed earth layer 3 meters wide in the middle, so as to reduce the construction cost, and the soil is excavated from the outside of the castle, and the river water can be introduced into the pit as a moat in the future.

The height of the castle is tentatively set at 6 meters.

In order to increase the defensive force, 8-meter-high towers were built at the four corners, so that in time of war, a double layer of personnel could be arranged; At the same time, the four corners and the city gate are set up in the style of a rhombus to increase the defense area.

In the future, after the construction is completed, and then the archers or junior infantry are stationed, the defense capability will be greatly improved.

Gao Shun now has sufficient points, one-time purchase of masonry and stone, stacked at the construction site, and Zhou Fei and others have space rings, and the construction personnel are all system synthesis personnel, and they are not afraid of exposure, so the construction speed is very fast, and it is estimated that it will be completed in more than 1 month.

After transferring all the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, Gao Shun had to release the newly synthesized junior infantry out of the system and let them guard the city gate in Taoyuan Fort, the number of people was a little small, there was only one tun, fortunately, the southern measurement of the infantry battalion was the cavalry battalion, and everything could be supported in time. Since the junior infantry did not have the leadership of the commander for the time being, Gao Shun arranged for Ge Hu to serve as the commander of the junior infantry; Originally, he was busy with martial arts training and was reluctant to become an official, but under the persuasion of Ge Mu, he still reluctantly accepted the task, and Gao Shun promised to replace him when there was a suitable candidate.

In the east of Taiping Village, along both sides of the stone road in the east-west direction, 2 rows of buildings are built by those Xiongnu captives, 25 courtyards covering an area of 2 acres in the north of the road, the span of each household is 21 meters, the width of the standard 7 rooms, one side along the street, in addition to the gate is the façade house, the back is the warehouse and the residence, each household has a separate well, which is very convenient as a shop and residence; Lunan is a simple shop and warehouse, with a span of 15 meters per household and a total of 30 households; In the future, these houses and shops will be mainly rented out or divided among those who have made meritorious contributions.

There is no development on both sides of the stone road south of Taiping Village.

The construction site of hundreds of people is very spectacular, and many curious people come to visit, enslaving foreign people to labor, which is very rare in Bingzhou, and they all feel very relieved; Fortunately, Gao Shun didn't abuse them much, guaranteed two dry meals a day, could eat enough, and occasionally drank a bone and vegetable soup, as a prisoner, this treatment was already good.

The Xiongnu threat in the west is temporary, and it is difficult for the Xianbei people to threaten here, so Gao Shun hopes to build this place into a commercial center in Yanmen County, a paradise in the northern part of Bingzhou, so that the local civilians can live a stable life.

As a result of the defeat of the Xiongnu cavalry twice in a row, the village guards had a high reputation in Bingzhou, and everyone learned that after the fort was built in Zhaozhuang, the villagers who fled from the area east of Zhaocun gradually returned, and the population gradually increased.

In the east of the construction site of Taiping Village, a small market has been spontaneously formed along the road now, providing services for the merchants who come to buy grain, there are tea shops, steamed bun shops, simple restaurants, carriage repair shops, selling horse feed and drinking water, etc., because each grain merchant will bring as many as dozens of carriages to buy goods, but there are a lot of coachmen, and the horses need to be fed and drink, which provides a small business opportunity for the local villagers to make a fortune.

After learning that the village guards defeated the Xiongnu thousand-man team, the Yanmen Taishou sent people to visit Gao Shun, and the purpose was also to make friends. Gao Shun did not dare to slack off, and greeted him ceremoniously and warmly entertained.

The two sides reached an agreement to buy a large amount of military rations, corn at a price of 300 yuan per stone, at least 5,000 stones per month, up to 10,000 stones, all to Taoyuan Fort to pick up, this kind of non-nutritious agreement Gao Shun did not want to sign, but the envoy wanted to get some results to go back, Gao Shun had to cooperate.

The two sides also reached a verbal agreement to assist each other, and if Xianbei attacked, Gao Shun would send cavalry to help, and vice versa; Gao Shun made a request to recruit village guards in various parts of Yanmen County, but the envoy had no right to decide, and promised to give Gao Shun a satisfactory answer after reporting to Taishou.

The peaceful life glides by like flowing water, time flies quickly, and Gao Shun is very satisfied with the results achieved during this time.
