From Yanzhou to Xijing Luoyang, it took more than half a month, and from Luoyang to Bianjing, not counting the trip delayed because of heavy snow, it took another three days. But it only took half a day to get from Bianjing to Yingtianfu www.biquge.info which made Sajar feel incredible.

Although the prosperity of Bianjing City also shocked him, the convenience of the railway shocked him even more. It was only at this time that he understood what kind of country he was facing and what kind of enemy he was facing.

If he was still a little unconvinced before, when he knew that all this was the change brought about by Zhou Quan alone, the whole person was honest.

According to the agreement reached between Zhou Quan and the imperial court, Ying Tianfu was under the jurisdiction of Zhou Quan and subordinate to Shandong Province. This place has convenient transportation, will be the key point of the north and south, east and west, relying on the four coastal provinces, you can not only peek into Bianjing, Xijing, but also be able to communicate with Hebei and Jiangnan. In order to meet the needs of future development, Zhou Quan put aside the old city and built a new city outside its city walls, although the scale was not large at this time, but it also embraced more than 80,000 people, plus nearly 100,000 people in the original old city, Yingtianfu now has nearly 200,000 people.

The rapid growth of the population will inevitably bring prosperity to commerce, and the convenient transportation will spread this prosperity to the surrounding areas.

"How, what do you think of here?" Yang Zaixing got acquainted with Saijar along the way, and after sending him to his destination, he opened his mouth to ask.

Along the way, Yang Zaixing did not embarrass him, or even locked him in a cage, but let him look around. Saijar also admitted this feeling, he learned the etiquette of Huaxia, and bowed his hand to Yang Zaixing: "Those who build this city have great ambitions!" ”

Of course, the ambition is great, because the person who presides over the planning of Yingtian New City is Zhou Quan himself.

Zhou Quan arranged Yingtian New City as his future capital, which is very close to the two industrial centers of Xuzhou and Haizhou, and also close to the cultural center of Bianjing. In Zhou Quan's plan, Yingtian will have a population of about 500,000 in the future, mainly government-related administrative staff and related service personnel.

Judging from a short period of time, a capital city of this scale is enough, and Zhou Quan thinks that in the future, the function of the imperial capital is administration, not a commercial center, not an industrial center, or even a cultural center, at most a tourist city function. As for other functions, they can be replaced by surrounding cities.

For example, the industrial center is naturally Xuzhou, the cultural center is naturally Bianjing, and even several satellite cities can be built around Yingtianfu to make it the center of education -- Zhou Quan's emphasis on education is beyond doubt, and he plans to build at least eight universities and two research institutes, and these institutions will be arranged within 30 miles and 100 miles around Yingtianfu to ensure that there are special railway connections.

"The only thing that puzzles me is, why doesn't this new city build a city wall?" Sajar praised the impression left by Yingtian Xincheng on him, and then asked.

"My lord thinks that the danger of the city is not as good as the people's hearts, so he does not build a city wall." Yang Zaixing replied.

In his heart, there was a burst of laughter, this Seljuk Sultan suffered a great defeat, but did not realize that the way of warfare in the future had changed radically.

Although Yingtian New City does not have a city wall, there are eight fortresses around it to protect the safety of Yingtian New City, but the scale of the fortress is not large and relatively secret, so it is not seen by Saijar.

This is the last conversation between the two, after sending Saijar to his destination, Yang Zaixing rushed to the Ministry of Military Affairs, he didn't just come to see Sajar this time, Yue Fei also asked him to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs to urge the supply of supplies.

After all, after the beginning of spring, troops will be sent west, and supplies must be stockpiled.

It's just that he has just finished the official business assigned by Yue Fei, and when he was about to leave Ying Tianfu, he was called over by someone from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"There's something I need your help with investigating."

When Yang Zaixing came to a small mansion in the Ministry of Military Affairs, two expressionless guys were sitting there, although they were also wearing military uniforms, but they had a strange smell, which made Yang Zaixing look at it with disgust.

His heart suddenly became vigilant.

This is an organization known as "rabid dogs" in the Chinese army, officially known as MI9, and its leader is Du Gou'er.

At this time, Du Gou'er already had a family and a job, and there was no need to stay in Bianjing. Although he has also grown a lot, his ability is limited after all, and he is no longer as good as the young people who have emerged around Zhou Quan. But he was loyal to the Zhou family's father and son, which had been tested by countless tests of life and death, so Zhou Quan placed him in MI9 as a seemingly inconspicuous position.

However, MI9 was internal, and actually helped Zhou Quan eliminate hidden dangers in the army and investigate various illegal matters internally.

Yang Zaixing found out that it was someone from MI9 who made an appointment with him, and he was suddenly unhappy, he liked to defeat strong enemies in the battle array, and what he hated most was this kind of organization that investigated his own people.

"We have some questions for you, don't worry, it's just a routine, after all, you have been with the Seljuk Sultan all the way, and some questions must be made clear." The two of them were mentally prepared for the disgust expressed by Yang Zaixing, and one said slowly.

Yang Zaixing nodded in understanding.

The other party asked in detail, starting with Yang Zaixing's own family background, and asked when he joined the army and his experience in the army. Then it was the process of him taking Sajar all the way, and when Yang Zaixing talked about the trip to Luoyang, he found that the other party was more focused.

It can be seen that the previous questioning was just a routine, but it was Luoyang's experience that was the focus of the other party's attention.

"What do you think of Wen Weishen?" After Yang Zaixing briefly talked about his experience in Luoyang, the other party suddenly asked.

Wen Weishen's matter, because it has nothing to do with military affairs, and it is not a big deal, so Yang Zaixing did not mention it, and when he heard the other party's question, his heart jumped suddenly, and he realized that something was wrong.

Although Wen Weishen came to see him, although he was not acting in secret, not many people knew about it, he only arrived at Yingtianfu on the front foot, and the MI9 Institute on the back foot came to ask about it, the meaning of which is intriguing.

"It's an elder, and he only has one side, so I can't say who he is." Yang Zaixing thought for a while.

The two glanced at each other, and it was obvious that Yang Zaixing still had some good feelings for Wen Weishen.

"You and Wen Weishen met in the post house, why don't you tell us about it?" One of them asked again.

"I thought it was a private matter and not related to official business, so I didn't talk about it." Yang Zaixing was a little impatient: "I can't report all the dishes I eat after drinking water a few times a day to the two of you!" ”

"Well, that makes sense, but ...... We now want to know what your meeting and conversation with Ven Weishen was all about. The MI9 people didn't dig deeper, and continued to ask after answering a sentence.

Yang Zaixing had to tell him what happened when he met Wen Weishen, and at the end, he said with some dissatisfaction: "I said that these are my personal private affairs......"

"Wen Weishen, this old man is not simple." The MI9 man said lightly: "He has been under our surveillance, and we suspect that he has something to do with 'Faceless'. ”

Yang Zaixing was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Originally, this matter should not have been told to you, but a big man personally asked, and specially asked us to tell you about it, the girl next to Wen Weishen is the righteous daughter who may want to marry you, there is a father named Cai Jiesheng, who opposed the construction of the railway in the newspaper under the pseudonym of not angry in Kao County, and also instigated the people to beat the pathfinder."

"Cai Jiesheng was later executed for the peasant association, but before he died, his family had already left Kao County, and he didn't know where to go, until the year before last, someone found Cai Jiesheng's eldest son in Xijing, and then followed the vine to touch the melon, and found that his children had already been sent to Xijing, worshiped at Wen Weishen's knees."

More than ten years have passed since this incident, and of course Yang Zaixing doesn't know. But hearing that Cai Jie died in the peasant association, and his children went to seek refuge with Wen Weishen, who had never had a friendship, Yang Zaixing only felt that his hair suddenly stood up.

"What is he trying to do?" His heart was pounding.

"So you understand why we're looking for you...... By the way, you also met with Song Junshuai after that? The MI9 man continued to ask.

Yang Zaixing was still confused because of Wen Weishen's motives, so he told him about meeting Song Xingfeng again, and then his trip from Luoyang to Ying Tianfu, the other party asked a lot, and this time the question lasted for half a day.

"We're just doing it routinely, but if we offend, please forgive us." One of them showed a rare smile: "If someone invites you to eat at lunchtime, we won't invite you to eat, tsk, I really envy you." ”

The last sentence of the man was a little clueless, Yang Zaixing was confused when he heard it, and scolded in his heart, these mad dogs are like this, they always love to do this kind of thing!

The two of them led Yang Zaixing out of the building of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but instead of through the main entrance, he came out through an inconspicuous side door. After going out, he got into a tightly covered carriage, and after Yang Zaixing sat on it, he wanted to lift the curtain, but they stopped him.

In this way, Yang Zaixing was taken to a courtyard, and when he came out, he found that the two MI9 people who had been following the car were no longer there, and were replaced by a few strong men in civilian clothes.

Every strong man was extremely vigilant, looking at Yang Zaixing's eyes with scrutiny, and one of them asked directly: "There are weapons on your body, if you have them, you will have to search your body later, if you find anything, you will have no face." ”

At this time, Yang Zaixing roughly guessed where he had arrived, and hurriedly took out the short sword dagger on his body and handed it to the other party.

He was led into the courtyard, and when he passed through the two gates, he heard the cheerful cries of children, and then a small figure struck at him, and threw himself on his legs, using his legs as a cover, to avoid the people who were chasing behind him.

This little figure was a four or five-year-old child, and he stumbled a little when he ran, and after Yang Zaixing helped him, he looked at the person chasing the child, and his face suddenly showed excitement.

He guessed right, it was Zhou Quan who summoned him to meet!
