That night, the soldiers of the Badao Battalion who were guarding the backyard of Sun's mansion could always see Sun Ling's frequent comings and goings with Cai Yan and Bai Xin's house.

Among these soldiers of the sword battalion, there are also many old birds, seeing this scene, how can they not know that now is not the time for them to guard in the backyard? After they retreated, Sun Ling directly hugged Bai Xin, who had softened into a puddle of water, to Cai Yan's house, and enjoyed the night of Qiren for a long time.

The next morning, after Sun Ling woke up, he looked at the two cute sleeping women on the bed, recalled the madness of last night, and couldn't help but be secretly complacent. This can be regarded as the sequelae of a person like him who is in full vitality for more than two months.

couldn't bear to wake up the two girls, Sun Ling first quietly got up and went to his room to wash up, and then came to the courtyard, and after playing a few sets of customary marksmanship, he walked out of Sun's mansion refreshed.

Taking over the reins of the White Dragon Horse from the horseman, Sun Ling did not ride it to walk, but led it like this, and walked slowly towards the school field of the Badao Camp in the city, which was considered to be a walk.

One man and one horse, slow down on the crowded streets. It was obviously just dawn, but the streets of the entire Yangzhai City were already crowded with hawkers who were shouting. Seeing this scene, Sun Ling couldn't help but smile knowingly.

After the care of Xun Yu, Chen Qun, and Zhong Xuan, the prosperity of Yangzhai City now seems to have become the most prosperous in the four states under Sun Ling. And the people of the four states, as well as other states, also subconsciously regarded Yangzhai City as the existence of Luoyang, the imperial capital before.

In fact, today's Yangzhai City is not only prosperous, but most of the families of the soldiers under Sun Ling's account are concentrated here, and there are also many powerful people in various states who have settled here. The small Yangzhai Cities, not counting the existence of the garrison and the Badao Battalion, have gathered a population of nearly 500,000.

This has also led to the phenomenon that the supply of residences in Yangzhai City exceeds demand. After all, the place is only that big, but everyone wants to squeeze here, and in the end it will definitely not be able to fit in. Because of this problem, Xun Yu and the others had asked Sun Ling to raise the city gate tax more than once, but in the end he refused.

Can Sun Ling not refuse? Originally, he planned to cancel the city gate tax, but if it was done according to Xun Yu's wishes, it would be even more difficult to cancel this tax in the future, and Sun Ling did not plan to curb the population density problem in Yangzhai City.

In his opinion, dense population is a good thing, and with a large population, will the development and prosperity of commerce be far away? Don't you see how modern cities with every inch of land and every inch of land develop? Of course, if you want to attract more people to promote Yangzhai City to become a central city in the future, the expansion of the city must be essential. Therefore, on the premise of taking Yangzhai City as the inner city, Sun Ling waved his hand outward to draw a boundary of more than 20 miles, and began to build a city wall from the periphery as the outer city of Yangzhai City.

Such a big deal scared Xu Lu, the chief financial manager, and ran to Sun Ling to cry poverty almost every day. In the end, Sun Ling replied to him: "If you want money, I'll give it to you, and if you want someone, I'll help you find a way!" ”

In fact, Sun Ling knew that Xu Lu was not out of money, the money and grain he had accumulated over the years, as well as the tax income of the four states, not to mention the construction of walls and roads around a radius of twenty miles, even if it was hundreds of miles, it was not a matter, the most important thing was the problem of people.

Now that he has brought back the hundreds of thousands of barbarian surrendered troops, Sun Ling believes that it will definitely not take too long for Xun Yu to build the official road from Jingzhou to Yuzhou. After the construction of the official road is completed, it will be the turn of this giant city that surpasses Luoyang and Chang'an.

This giant city will become the core capital of all Sun Ling's territories in the future, which Sun Ling had already thought about. Of course, he was only responsible for building the walls and roads, and the houses were naturally built by the magnates and merchants who wanted to join the city. Sun Ling, who owns the land, is a veritable real estate tycoon!

Thinking of the astronomical amount of land that those plots of land would bring to him, Sun Ling really wanted to raise his arms and shout on this noisy street: "In the future, money will be just a number for my brother!" ”

Of course, this can only be imagined. With Sun Ling's current identity, if he really does this, it is estimated that Xun Yu and them, who heard the rumors, as well as Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, will definitely not let him have a good time.

As Sun Ling led the white dragon horse around the street, more and more people recognized him. Looking at those enthusiastic and respectful people, Sun Ling, who was surrounded by the group, had no choice but to give up his plan to continue walking, and jumped on the white dragon horse to highlight the encirclement. Then, in the admiring eyes of those people, they "fled in the wilderness" towards the place where the Badao Camp School was located!

Because it was still early, except for a few soldiers who had been guarding outside the school yard from last night to the present, there were only three captains of the Badao Battalion who served as recruit instructors in the entire school yard, preparing for today's training project.

The three captains who served as recruit instructors all belonged to the group of people who were outside the Luoyang City Manor and were the first to follow Sun Ling. After returning from Yanzhou this time, Qiu Laohei was also directly named by Dian Wei because he was qualified for this position.

Anyway, there is no war now, so for Dian Wei's roll call and let himself train those recruits, Qiu Laohei has no other complaints. However, as long as the war resumes, it is estimated that he will have to quarrel with Dian Wei and apply for transfer.

Looking at the three familiar figures busy, Sun Ling thought that in the past few years, it was indeed not easy for them to follow him to fight in the south and north, so he spoke up: "I have to prepare for today's training project early in the morning, but I have worked hard for you!" I just came back yesterday, if you're too tired, let someone else do it, I'll be in charge of giving you a few days off, and go and rest for a few days. ”

Hearing this voice, the three of Qiu Laohei, who were burying their heads in the equipment, immediately raised their heads in surprise and looked in the direction where Sun Ling was.

"Lord!" When they saw Sun Ling's figure, the three of them hurriedly put down the instruments in their hands and came to him to salute.

After carefully looking at the three of them, after discovering their three pairs of panda eyes, Sun Ling frowned very unhappily and said, "Didn't I let you go back and have a good rest yesterday?" How do you look like you haven't slept all night? ”

"Hmm... Lord! Because of the last expedition, all the soldiers of the Badao Battalion followed the lord, and the training of recruits in Yangzhai City fell behind. So we took advantage of yesterday's time to quickly put these equipment away, so as not to delay the training of new recruits. Seeing that Sun Ling was unhappy, Qiu Laohei hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Sun Ling suddenly realized. Feelings: Where did the three of them not sleep all night, they have been busy since they came back yesterday until now.

Scanning the neatly arranged equipment in the school yard, Sun Ling was moved in his heart and said very dissatisfied: "What about Dian Wei and the others? Those bastards let the three of you do it yourself! Where did they die? ”

Seeing that Sun Ling cared about them, Qiu Lao Hei and the three of them felt that it was worth the day to be busy. However, in order not to let Sun Ling blame Dian Wei and them, he saved the time when the three of them suffered. Qiu Laohei explained: "My lord, the instructor and several other generals, after returning to the school with the Badao Battalion yesterday, followed General Zhang to the house, it's been a day, and my subordinates haven't seen them come out." ”

Looking in the direction of Qiu Lao's black finger, after seeing the house, Sun Ling knew what they were doing with Zhang Yan entering the house.

"These bastards! I've said it all, just let Sihan do it himself, what do they worry about. Interrogation, will they be better than Sihan? Thinking of what they were doing with Zhang Yan, Sun Ling scolded with a wry smile.

The house that Qiu Lao Hei pointed to was the interrogation room set up by the Shadow Secret Guard in Yang Zhai City. There is also a reason why it was set up in the school yard of the Badao Battalion, after all, there are the entire Badao Battalion to help guard it, and there are really not many people who can escape from the interrogation room in this world.

"I see! You don't have to speak for those bastards, I know that. Now the three of you go back and rest first, this is the order! The matter of recruit training, it's okay to delay it for a day. When the time comes, I'll ask them to come over and help. Let's all go back! "Those crooks in Qiu Laohei's heart, how could Sun Ling not be clear? After saying these words, Sun Ling didn't pay any attention to the reactions of the three of them, took steps, and walked towards the house.

It wasn't until Sun Ling's figure disappeared that one of the three looked at Sun Ling's back and said in a lost voice: "Although I have followed the lord to fight on the battlefield in the past few years, there is almost no time to rest, but I have never regretted it. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Laohei shouted proudly: "Aren't you talking nonsense? You go and ask those brothers who survived, who TM regretted it? In five years, less than half of our more than 600 brothers have survived. But the rest of us are also mixed up. Either as an instructor in various places, or as a captain, we didn't embarrass the lord! ”

Hearing that Qiu Laohei mentioned those dead brothers, another person hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth. Then he glanced at Sun Ling's back very carefully, lowered his voice and said, "Qiu Laohei, why are you mentioning this?" It's not that you don't know that every time you mention those brothers, the lord will be in a very bad mood! Hurry up and go back and rest, we still need to do things here, we can't really leave it to the instructors to do it, right? ”

The three of them didn't notice that Sun Ling, who was walking towards the house, had stopped.

With Sun Ling's ear power now, the sound from hundreds of meters away can be easily heard, let alone Qiu Laohei's loud voice? The conversation between the three of them fell to Sun Ling's ears word for word.

Looking at the two-story house in the distance with the tablets and ashes of the dead soldiers of the Sword Battalion, a touch of sadness flashed in the depths of Sun Ling's eyes, and he muttered, "I will never forget everything you have done for my Sun Ling." Alive, I will make you live better than others. If you die, I will make your family well. And it's time to build a martyr's mausoleum! ”
