The sadness of parting did not last long, and not long after the family members of the Lin family gang walked out of Tianjin City, everyone began to be attracted by the scenery along the way.

The flat cement road along the road makes everyone quite curious. The outskirts of Tianjin are deserted because there is no one to cultivate, although it looks desolate.

But the straight and flat concrete road adds a lot of modern atmosphere to the place. The last time Ye Shaolong went back, he heard that the academy had tinkered with a steam engine, and if he could build a locomotive, he could build a railway in the territory he currently commanded.

Whether it is transporting goods or transporting people, you can be one step faster, why it is difficult for ancient emperors to rule the country, there is one of the most critical questions.

That is the speed of communication, and whether the power to rule the place can be held tightly in the hand. Just imagine, it takes a month or two for news to spread from the east to the north of the country.

Once there is an emergency for such a long time, it is simply too late to deal with it, and the matter has already developed to the point of no return.

At present, Ye Shaolong is thinking about this, obviously it is still early, and he smiled and shook off the chaotic emotions in his head. Turned over and changed into a comfortable position and continued to recuperate.

Ye Shaolong was the only one in the carriage, Tie Ta led the way with dozens of Yejiabao troops in front, and Li Chengke led the way with dozens of other Yejiabao troops in the rear.

It took half a day to easily arrive in Baoding City, and it happened to be lunch, Ye Shaolong ordered everyone to rest in the city for a while, and fill their stomachs by the way.

Xiao Dashan, the city guard of Baoding, was already waiting, and after receiving Ye Shaolong, he went to the government office in the city together, and those family members had already gone to arrange, and even the meal was prepared for everyone.

Xiao Dashan will be refreshed, and he will not be as distressed as Ye Shaolong when he saw him before. Ye Shaolong still remembered that when he hurried to Tianjin City to support, he passed by Baoding City and talked to him for a long time.

Xiao Dashan was bullied because of the grain and grass, but he didn't dare to say much, so Ye Shaolong asked him to go to Yejiabao within three days to deal with it, and I don't know if this guy really did it.

However, judging from the situation in Baoding City, both the people and the soldiers are quite energetic, and there is obviously no situation where they are not full of food.

The two entered the hall of the government one after another, Ye Shaolong took the fragrant tea personally sent by Xiao Dashan, and said with a smile: "Baoding City is well governed by you, in an orderly manner!" Just now, I saw crops in the fields outside the city, and the growth is quite gratifying. ”

"Hey...... All of this depends on Ye Shuai's previous slap in the face, if there is no Ye Shuai, my Xiao Dashan will definitely not have the scenery like today. This Baoding City will definitely not radiate such vitality. Xiao Dashan looked grateful and became more and more respectful to Ye Shaolong.

He Xiao Dashan has today, and it can indeed be said that it is all due to Ye Shaolong. From an unknown ordinary man to the current defender of Baoding City, from the most ordinary soldier in the army, to the current commander of 5,000 soldiers and horses, the general army in charge of a city. The days are getting better and better.

Seeing Xiao Dashan's refreshed appearance, Ye Shaolong didn't bother to bring up the old things again. I just asked him about the livelihood of Baoding City and the garrison.

Xiao Dashan also knew everything, and he couldn't say enough, and he made a detailed report with Ye Shaolong on big and small things.

When Baoding City went to Xia City when Ye Shaolong went to Xiacheng, there were no people living here, and the fields outside were the same as Tianjin City, all of which were in ruin.

Since he went to Yejiabao to deal with the matter of grain and grass, he not only received the attention of Tang Feifei and others, but also allocated him enough grain and grass to support the whole army.

After Tianjin defeated the Japanese in Tianjin, Xiao Dashan had surplus food, so he began to recruit some displaced people to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land. There was no war, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and in just half a year, the development was rapid.

Now Baoding City no longer needs Yejiabao to allocate grain and grass, but can also send some every month.

In the army, in addition to his usual drills, Xiao Dashan also trained as a reserve soldier. From among the recruited homeless people, select some young people and gather to do some regular exercises in their spare time.

Hearing this, Ye Shaolong suddenly became interested, and he laughed and said, "Then how many of these reserve troops are there now?" ”

Xiao Dashan laughed, quite proud: "Three thousand, these three thousand people have been practicing for two months now, once Baoding City encounters an accident, they can join the army at any time." There's no problem killing or defending! ”

In this way, Xiao Dashan is indeed talented, and Baoding City is not only self-sufficient, but also able to train its own troops. Ye Shaolong pondered whether other cities would also follow suit in Baoding City.

But after thinking about it carefully, Ye Shaolong was distressed to find that in addition to Baoding City and Yejiabao being able to do this. The cities of Beijing and Tianjin simply cannot follow suit.

After all, Baoding City and Yejiabao are both within Tianjin City and the capital, and are protected by these two cities. Generally, only after the two cities of Beijing or Tianjin City are breached, it will affect Yejiabao or Baoding City.

Although it is impossible to popularize the experience of Baoding City, it is fortunate that there is one more place that can be developed. In the future, it will only rely on Yejiabao to feed everyone, and there is also a Baoding City that can also be vigorously developed.

Ye Shaolong gave Xiao Dashan an affirmation, and even promised him that if he developed well in the future, he would be promoted again.

When Xiao Dashan got Ye Shaolong's promise, he was so overjoyed that he couldn't see his teeth and was ecstatic.

casually ate something with Xiao Dashan in the mansion, and it was time to set off again. Xiao Dashan took the soldiers of the city to the outside of the city in person, and watched Ye Shaolong and them go away, so he dismissed the soldiers and returned to the city.

The prosperity of Baoding City has given the families of the Lin Family Gang great expectations, and during the moment of rest in Baoding City, they have heard that Yejiabao is much more prosperous than Baoding City.

For the place where he and others are about to settle down, the family members of the Lin family gang are suddenly full of expectations. This person had hope in his heart, and he walked much faster, and it would have taken him more than half a day to reach Yejiabao.

And under the rush of everyone, they arrived at Yejiabao before dark in the middle of the day.

The outer city of Yejiabao has been built, but due to the small population, there are still two places that are vacant. These two places are the East City and the West City.

Previously, this place was deliberately used to garrison the army, but now it is completely useless, just to house the families of the Lin family.

Leaving the iron tower and Li Chengke to arrange the family members of the Lin family gang, Ye Shaolong entered the inner city in a carriage alone and headed towards the Ye Mansion. Yesterday was so rushed that even the family couldn't get together.
