When Wei Xi's special train entered Shendu West Station, it was unprecedented, and Wei Xi was startled when he got off the elevator and looked at the past.

The pro-noble minister Wu Sansi led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him personally, and everyone was enthusiastic when they saw Wei Xi!

In particular, Wu Sansi and Wei Xi held hands and introduced the court officials one by one.

Wei Xi never dreamed that he would be so popular!

Expedition to the West! Expedition to the West!

Wei Xi was promoted to make a fortune by himself, and everyone was jealous, but it was different for him to lead everyone to get rich and bring the children of each family to get promoted.

The westward expedition stimulated the economy, and all walks of life had income, and enterprises in the customs area were greatly benefited.

Wei Xi purchased arms, equipment, armor, military clothes and food, for example, outside the customs to buy fruits from Wu Sansi's grange for people to eat or make wine, so that Wu Sansi would have a rich income.

Or Wu Sansi used his slaves to develop production and provide a large amount of high-quality coal, which Wei Xi's train needed.

There is also the expansion of the army, improve production to attract personnel, Wei Xi's connotation is still low, the need for a large number of craftsmen and people in the pass, such as "wheat ke", the wheat fields outside the pass are well planted but the manpower is small, and the lack of manpower in the maturity period causes the harvest year to be untimely due to the reduction of yield and quality.

The economy inside and outside the customs is inseparable, they are all people of the same clan, merchants and migrant workers flow frequently, there is no difficulty in communication, and the business is extremely prosperous, forming a pattern of you have me, I have you, even if it is the industry of the martial arts, there are a large number of commodities circulated to the Wei family and entered the Western Army system.

And the ministers for Wei Xi are "not looking at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha", to this day, who does not have a child outside the gate!

Either join the army or enter politics!

For their sake, the ministers have to give face to Wei Xi, hoping that Wei Xi will take care of their children.

Wei Xi vigorously appealed to "young people to go to the West!" "Absorbing talents is like a hundred rivers entering the sea,

As the territory he occupied increased, a large number of management personnel were needed, and more and more families had children out of the customs and went to the West to take up posts.

This is an excellent way out for many concubines, with official positions, doing practical things, and the income is definitely not low, Wei Xi is paid according to double salary, and he is also sent to the field!

The key is that after the train is opened, it is very convenient to come and go, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the road, personal safety is guaranteed, and physiological safety is a doctor!

Therefore, the Western Expedition profoundly changed the great powers of the East, and when the Western Expedition was in the ascendant, Wu Zetian saw this, lamenting that Wei Xi and Princess Taiping had become wings, and there was nothing to be done!

She completely gave up her plan to eliminate Wei Xi, and instead vigorously supported Wei Xi's westward expedition.

Otherwise, with her person, it is the side of the couch, how can she allow others to sleep soundly!

……

Sitting in the carriage together, Wei Xi smiled at Wu Sansi and said, "Brother Sansi is so polite!" ”

The sedan chair carries people, you respect me a foot, I pay you back, especially Wei Xi led the troops to attack thousands of miles, his vision is very large, and the grievances between the court and the central government are not worth mentioning at all.

"Hey, you and my brother, how can you be polite!" Wu Sansi feigned anger and said.

Wu Sansi is smart, and the relationship with Wei Xi has not been stiff, before Wei Xi was the secretary of the military department, Wu Sansi was a waiter, and as a result, Wei Xi's measures to employ people, Wu Sansi did not change a word, and when Wei Xi stepped down, Wu Sansi was the secretary of the military department, and Xiao Gui Cao followed, copying Wei Xi's rules and regulations, and employing people without reduction.

Even if there is a knot, the two sides can still talk.

Wu Sansi's brother Wu Chengsi was at odds with Wei Xi, which led to Wei Xi's rejection everywhere, the business failed, and his children did not accept it, so he was so angry that he did not come to welcome Wei Xi.

……

"Luoyang City has changed a lot!" Wei Xi looked out of the car window, there were buildings everywhere, building a lot, in addition to the civil structure in the East, there seemed to be a lot more Western-style brick and stone buildings, and he had encountered a yamen guarded by soldiers, which was actually a Romanesque column, and there were long steps in front of the door.

"Cui Qianxun is the Luoyang Order!" Wu Sansi told him.

"No wonder!" Wei Xi didn't think it was strange.

Cui Qianxun is an important figure in his system, presided over affairs in Luoyang for a long time, and used to be a waiter in the Ministry of Works, although he does not know the strength of construction, but he is well versed in Wei Xi's concept: if you want to get rich, build roads first! Urban buildings are demolished and rebuilt!

"His urban management is very powerful, they are all veterans of your Western Army, and they are very fierce, so the urban planning is very effective." Wu Sansi was jealous.

The veterans who served in the Western Army, Cui Qianxun can use them if he takes care of them, and other officials can't control them at all, and they can't put them to use.

The city management is powerful, demolished and built everywhere, Cui Qianxun has face, invited Mr. Big from Princess Taiping's School of Architecture to do urban planning, the development is very rapid, the commercial area, the residential area is in order, the population, taxes soar, the city is extremely prosperous and beautiful, so that Wu Zetian is very face-saving, quite satisfied!

……

When they arrived at the palace of King Dezhong, Wei Xi and Wu Sansi said goodbye outside the door, and after he entered the mansion, he closed the door and did not see any guests.

The worship sticker to the palace was one person high, and the guests outside the palace were jammed, but the palace housekeeper said: "The prince returns from the west, and he must see His Majesty before he can see the guests, and he must not lose his etiquette!" ”

Excuses are very useful, and everyone can only go home disappointed.

Really don't see a guest?

There was a man who was forced in and out, and as soon as his chariot and horse arrived, he opened the middle door and took him in.

Outsiders were naturally unconvinced, but the palace housekeeper said: "It is Guo Shangshu, the former boss of the prince, can you not let him in!" ”

Guo Beiju, with Fengge Luantai Sanpin (Prime Minister), has been the head of the household department for a long time, and Guo Wei Xi was the secretary of the military department when he first started, and he took many photos of him.

According to the etiquette, Wei Xi should go to see Guo Beiju, but Wei Xi is the prince, living in eight seats, and the courtesy is not a hundred bureaucrats, but Guo Beiju came to worship him, and he opened the door to greet him.

In the study, looking at the dying Guo Zhiju, in fact, his age is not very old, but it is not easy to be an official in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, this Guo Beiju can be a long-term household secretary and worry about Wei Xi, and the effort is not less.

Wei Xi was grateful and ordered the housekeeper to take the humanoid ginseng collected from the north and give it to Guo to be raised for maintenance.

Guo Zhiju also accepted it unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "The prince is in high spirits, and the affairs of the Western Expedition are smooth, congratulations!" ”

"Thanks to Guo Gong's care, I won't forget it for a day!" Wei Xi arched his hand.

"That's your own effort, I take care of a lot of people, and no one is enough for you to have the ability!" Guo Zhiju said disapprerovingly.

The two of them chattered for a while, and said some things inside and outside the customs, Guo Zhiju said: "I have already written a resignation and begging bones (to return to the hometown), connected three books, the Son of Heaven refuted it twice, and one time is still in the middle of the recovery, but it should be okay (the ancient important ministers wrote to ask for a letter, and the Son of Heaven gave him face, often three resignations, the Son of Heaven will approve, and the petty officials are not so particular). ”

Wei Xi was shocked and said: "Guo Gong wants to abandon me!" ”

"I know one thing, the impeachment of you by the ministers of the court and the central government is a regular thing, some people said that you want to rebel, Your Majesty said that there are many talents around you, just like Shangshan Sihao on the side, the wings have been completed, whether you are abolished or not is no longer something she can control!" (Han Gaozu Liu Bang wanted to abolish the prince and set up another one, but the prince invited Shangshan Sihao, and these four guys couldn't be invited by Liu Bang!) Liu Bang knew that the crown prince had become a wing, so he only sighed that the prince was difficult to move, so he had to stop fighting)

That's right, once Wei Xi has something, Princess Taiping is still there! The million-strong army that originally attacked the West will enter the customs under the leadership of the "master mother", who can resist it!

At present, there are 100,000 cavalry under Wei Cheng alone, and they are flooding, and they can't stop him at all.

Guo Zhiju smiled and said: "This court is an official, it is really not done by people, for example, the door (cool official) is terrifying, he is an official in the morning, and he doesn't know if he can go home at night. ”

"Let Guo Gong suffer, Xi Zhizhi must make amends! I heard that the granddaughter of Gong Guo's family is virtuous and virtuous, but she is a young lady, and my eldest son Wei Wen is a good gentleman, so let the two be worthy of husband and wife, Guo Gong thinks it is good? ”

"Thanks to the love of the prince, I married my family, and my family is fortunate, dare not obey my fate!" Guo Zhiju said happily.

"Yay!" Wei Xi also said happily.
