From the imperial capital to Bukui, a total of more than 4,000 miles.

Because there were only Jia Min and Lichun, both of whom were riding horses, and Lichun had also undergone strict training, the speed of the two on the road was very fast, and it only took twenty-seven days to reach Bukui.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived at the city gate of Buquinan.

So far, Jia Min has been away from Bukui for eight months. The battle of North Windura has also been over for three months.

Jia Min did not immediately return to the barracks, but walked along the city wall first.

The city wall is still under construction, and the current progress is okay, which is about the same as Jia Min's expectation. Three-quarters of the way has been done.

According to the original plan, it will be completed by the end of this year. At the moment, it seems that if there are no surprises, it should be completed as planned.

At the end of the city wall, Jia Min met Yang Lin, who was leading several people to inspect the city wall project.

"Yo, Chief Min is back, it's okay now."

As he spoke, Yang Lin put it on in two steps and held Jia Min's hand tightly, as if his eyes were a little blurry like a long-lost relative.

"Yang Dianshi has worked hard."

"Where, where, it should be, it should be, it's still Chief Min's hard work."

Where have I worked hard, I have been idle for most of the year.

"Are you all right?"

"It's all good, it's all good, I'm looking forward to Chief Min's return. Come, let me introduce you to you, this is our Min-sir. Hehe, these boys are all newcomers, and Chief Min doesn't know them. ”

"Hello Sir Min."

A few young men greeted each other warmly, looking a little shy, but they showed expressions of surprise and admiration.

This is the legendary Chief Min? It's really so young.

"Well, do a good job and study hard with Yang Dianshi."

"Sir Min, let's go and see Xincheng, just go back to Yamen from there."

"Okay, let's go check it out. After walking for so long, I wonder if anything will change? ”

"There are so many changes, it's just one day at a time, and if you don't come for a few days, you won't be able to recognize it."

"When you are fighting, does it have any effect?"

What Jia Min is most worried about is the impact of the war in North Ventura on Bukui's economic construction.

Without a stable environment, it is almost impossible to develop the economy.

"At that time, there was some influence, and fearing that the Tatars would come, some of the merchants withdrew, and some of the laborers ran away. At that time, Chief of Staff Feng and we called a meeting to ensure that the Tatars would not be able to defeat Bu Kuilai. ”

"And they believed it?"

"No, I withdrew some. However, I didn't go far, and I just watched in the area of Luocheng. Later, the Tatars were defeated at Erdaojiang, and they all returned. ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and a group of soldiers passed past Jia Min and the others. The uniformity is all brown-red horses and neat military uniforms.

This is a patrol of the prefectural corps, which is conducting routine patrols every day.

This kind of patrol is not only to show the presence of the army in Bukui, to deter the small, but also to increase the sense of security of the people. It can also deal with various emergencies at any time.

"How is the service system being implemented now?"

"It's still the same as before, it's all carried out according to the schedule, rain or shine every day. During the war, the number of patrols was increased, and now it is back to normal. ”

After a while, I came to the new city.

The so-called new city is actually not completely accurate, this is just a conventional name of the Bukui people.

The new city is just an extension and extension of the original foundation of the Bukui street. However, it is already quite large.

The main development of real estate is carried out here, which is complemented by a variety of commercial and lifestyle services.

Due to the unified planning, the architectural layout here is very neat, and there are already many inns, restaurants, shaving shops, blacksmith shops, carpenter shops and various shops along the street, and many of them have already opened.

The houses behind the street are large and small residences.

The streets are wide, four times as wide as the old streets of Bukui. This was designed and built at the request of Jia Min.

The streets will not have to be widened again in the coming decades.

"Has the roadside drain been repaired?"

"It's been repaired, and it's all repaired according to the original design. Hehe, when you said that you should repair the drainage ditch, we didn't quite agree, but this time, it seems that Chief Min is right. The rain from the rainy season this summer has been drained smoothly and smoothly. It's not good in the old city, it's flooded for more than ten days, and it's hard to walk. ”

As the group walked on the road, those who knew Jia Min came up to say hello one after another, and they all enthusiastically shouted "Chief Min is back" and "Hello Chief Min".

Some of them were more familiar, so they pulled the reins of Jia Min's horse and insisted on asking Jia Min to sit with him.

Yang Lin also shouted to everyone from time to time, "Chief Min is back", looking proud, as if he was Chief Min himself.

Along the way, Lichun, who accompanied him, was a little surprised.

What's going on, Sir?

Isn't he at war? We're even in charge of these things?

Who were the people who greeted him? It seems that there are three religions and nine streams.

It is said that Chief Min is also the biggest official in Bukui, why aren't these people afraid at all when they see him?

This chief Min doesn't have a guard of honor when he travels, and he doesn't have an entourage to escort him, so will the people of Li still be afraid when they see him? Why do you just walk down the street, just talk to anyone, and talk to him if you want to?

Does this still have the prestige of the government and the dignity of the court?

Jia Min walked with Yang Lin and came to a spacious courtyard.

The high courtyard wall is lined with tall ash trees.

It was dug up from the mountains and transplanted here. The branches and leaves are luxuriant, swaying gently in the breeze.

The magnificent gate, next to which are several gilded characters: Bukui School.

The following signature is "Jingying Festival makes the prince Teng." ”

This is when the prince Teng came last year, Jia Min asked him to write an inscription.

Standing outside, I heard the noise of children coming from inside.

"This is the most beautiful courtyard in Bukui today, better than our Bukui Yamen. Sir Min, go in and have a look? ”

Yang Lin said, with a smug look on his face.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look."

A guard opened the door, and when several people entered, they saw a hundred or so children playing in the yard, shouting, chasing, and fighting.

"Okay, Yang Dianshi, I'm very satisfied with this school."

"The houses inside, the tables and chairs, are also the best. This is the future of our Bukui. In a few years, it may be possible to come out of here to show talents, raise people, and enter the scholars, and maybe there will be a champion. Now. Every few days, I'm going to come and see. When I saw these children, I felt like I was dozens of years younger. ”

"Is Principal Miaoyu okay?"

"Okay, I come early and leave late every day, and I am kind and knowledgeable."

Talking about Miaoyu here, I saw a door open inside, and a young woman in white clothes Shengxue, carrying a small iron hammer, struck on a gong for a while.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the children ran back to the house.

Under the tall ash tree, a woman in white was left standing, forming a beautiful landscape.

The woman looked at the people at the door, and the small hammer in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously. After a slight hesitation, he walked briskly to this side.

Jia Min also hurried to meet him, and the two met in the middle of the courtyard, about two meters away, standing opposite each other.

It's not Miaoyu, who else could it be?

"Fourth Brother Min, is it really you?"

"Miaoyu, it's me, I'm back."

Jia Min walked up, and saw that Miaoyu's beautiful eyes were already full of tears.

Reach out and gently wipe away the tears from your white face.

"Miaoyu, don't cry, aren't I coming back?"

"They all said that the emperor dismissed your officials, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to come back."

"Little fool, you're here, how can I not come back?"

"I knew you were coming back. That broken official, don't do it. Save yourself from being angry with them all day. In the paradise of Bukui, it is very clean. ”

"When I come back this time, I won't leave."

"That's very good. Okay, you go back first, you haven't gone to the yamen and the barracks yet, have you? Everyone is looking forward to your return. It's time for me to go back to class. Standing like this, I was embarrassed to be seen. I'll talk about it when I get home in the evening. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Miaoyu. You go first. ”

"No, you go first, I'm going to watch you go."

Jia Min also knew that this was not the moment to linger, so he smiled at Miaoyu and turned to leave.

When he arrived at the door and turned around, he saw Miaoyu standing under the big tree again, waving to him.

This scenery makes Jia Min feel quite beautiful.

Yang Lin walked while introducing the situation to Jia Min. Soon, I came to the front of the Jiafu Wine Factory.

"Chief Min, go back and see your family, I'll go first, go back and tell Chief of Staff Feng about them, and I'll pick you up in a while. Then I told the yamen that you were back, so that everyone was happy. ”

"Okay, I'll be over in a moment. Lichun girl, please arrange to live in the post house and eat and drink together in the evening. ”

Yang Lin left with Lichun, and Jia Min walked towards the winery.

Just as he was about to open the door, the door opened. No one came out, and with a bang, a basin of water poured out of it.

Jia Min was defenseless, and was splashed with most of the pot.

What's the matter, before I could enter the door, I splashed it with water.

Jia Min wanted to cry without tears.

"What kind of person, you don't have long eyes when you walk, don't you see the pouring water? The wine is gone, so let's come early tomorrow. ”

This pungent style and snarky voice, isn't Qingwen, which one?

This dead girl, her temper is still so explosive.

Jia Min opened the door again, and in the room, a girl with a water snake waist and a girl who looked quite similar to Daiyu was standing in the middle of the ground with a basin in one hand.

"Qingwen, it's me. Why splash me with water? ”

The little girl was stunned, and with a bang, the basin in her hand fell to the ground.

"Fourth Master Min? You're back! ”

A soft and warm body pounced.
