As the Third Route Army arrived in Seoul, the atmosphere in the Metropolitan Palace, which had finally calmed down, became urgent again, because everyone knew that the diners had arrived, and the time to feast would be far away.

As the "culprit" who ended the rest of the whole army, Xiao Jiasui, who finally arrived in Seoul, probably felt guilty about his belatedness. But this situation is no wonder to him, after all, the territory of 30,000 square kilometers of Lintun County, it is by no means possible to wait for the garrisons to be in place one by one, and it is by no means possible to do it in a day or two. As long as he was in a hurry to come over at this time, it was also in exchange for Leng Ning's half-dead death.

Fortunately, the process of waiting for the friendly army also rested the team, so the three infantry troops temporarily allocated under the command of Xiao Jiasui basically rested in Seoul for a while, and they could once again embark on the journey with high morale.

At the reception banquet that night, Wang Lun, the old brothers such as Su Ji and Sun An "drank" tea instead of wine, and then asked them to go down to rest early. For most of the travelers who have been on a long journey, tonight has come to an end. But for Wang Lun, who is hungry for a long time, tonight has just begun.

Tonight, the military and political officials of the Seoul Prefecture, under the leadership of Taishou Wen Huanzhang, will report to Wang Lun on the next stage of the governance program, and Wang Lun also needs to set a tone for the governance of the rear before starting again, so after the banquet between the two sides, the relevant people and others will go directly from the banquet hall to the White Tiger Hall Yuande Hall. Wang Lun has been working here for some time, and he has gradually gotten used to it, and he is too lazy to talk about civil affairs and where to change.

"How is it, are you used to it after you come here?" Along the way, Wang Lun talked and laughed with the leaders, and finally asked a red-eyed man beside him. This person is the main general of the second road of soldiers and horses who came across the sea from Liangshanbo, and the fiery Deng Fei is fierce.

"We are all a brick on Liangshan, and we will move it wherever we need it!"

The honest Deng Fei answered Wang Lun's concern with a Wang Lun-style colloquial sentence. However, when it comes to the most frequently transferred leaders in the cottage, he Deng Fei is definitely one of them, who has not only worked as a support (head of the reserve army) in the field army, but also served as a Bi Ma Wen (horse farm garrison) on Jeju Island. Later, he served as the leader of the cottage under the jurisdiction of Liangshan (Erlongshan), and every time he was hard-working, diligent and responsible. So this time, I took on the heavy responsibility of the Seoul Prefecture's military and horse capital supervisor.

From an unknown third-rate small village owner, to the Hancheng Mansion with a function similar to that of the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo as the military and horse supervisor, Deng Fei felt like a dream, and the scene of getting acquainted with Wang Lun and Pei Xuan under the Drinking Horse River is still vivid, and he originally wanted to go to Dazhai to get to know more heroes in the world, and everyone must be lively together, but the short three or two years have passed. He hasn't come back yet, and he has already changed the world.

"The commander of the capital's soldiers and horses...... I didn't expect that Deng Fei would have today! Deng Fei is not good at hiding the thoughts in his heart, in other words, there is no city government, and the agitation in his heart at this time is undisguised on his face, and a smile makes people feel happy when they see it.

Wen Huanzhang also laughed, and took the initiative to say hello to his main helper in the future.

"Old lady Shou, I used to watch Brother Su and Guan Dujian dangling in front of you, I am a horse breeder. Don't dare to come to beg for wine, in the future, it is indispensable to accept the cellar in the house for you! "Although Deng Fei is a straight man, he is not stupid and rude, and he is an old lady. Straight called Wen Huanzhang thought of the "green" years on Jeju Island, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

These two opened the valve of the past, and the atmosphere instantly became more cordial, and Feng Xi, who has always been good at dealing with people, repeatedly set off the chat atmosphere just right. So much so that even Jiao Ting, who doesn't like to talk much, interjects two sentences from time to time. Tian Yi was attentive to the listener, listening to anecdotes that he could not have had access to before. Only Zhang Xiaochun lowered his head silently, not knowing what kind of difficult problem he was thinking.

The group marched mightily to the front of the White Tiger Festival Hall. The originally dark hall has been lit up by the guards who came in advance, and the air emits a strange fragrance after the burning of lamps and candles, which is said to have a refreshing effect, which Li Ziqian brought here after his son-in-law's palace was scraped away, but he didn't expect Wang Lun to take it away last time, but this time he can still enjoy such royal products.

After everyone sat down, Wen Huanzhang cleared his throat and introduced the situation to the people present. Observing Wen Huanzhang's conversation closely, others don't feel much, but Feng Xi, who is also eloquent, is deeply touched, compared with the boss he will serve directly, he speaks smoothly and smoothly, but he always feels that there are shortcomings, and he speaks lightly. When he saw the scene where everyone listened attentively, he had an epiphany, and it turned out that the difference was on the "inside". Wen Huanzhang has a splendid country hidden in his belly, and he Feng Xi is more reckless.

"At present, the entrenched local forces in Seoul have been completely eradicated by our army, although it is a benefit for a hundred generations. But there is a more obvious drawback for the time being, that is, the money in the city is scarce and expensive, the market is depressed, many residents who rely on the powerful to make a living have no livelihood, and the original savings are also snatched up by Li Ziqian. After all, we have an old saying that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish! ”

"Wen Duhu said very much, raising can only raise lazy people! Our priority now is to find a way to revitalize the city, so that the indigenous people can return to their old jobs and support themselves, rather than relying on handouts to survive. In addition, I would like to remind all the brothers here that our cottage used 10 million yuan to buy grain in the Great Song Dynasty before, which caused the price of grain in several state capitals to soar. Therefore, the 4.6 million stone grain seized this time is extremely precious! By the way, I forgot to tear off a piece of flesh and blood by the Seoul Mansion, and now there are only three million stones left in the account of the Protectorate! ”

Jiang Jing, the new Andong Protector who came with Deng Fei across the sea, spoke, as the direct person in charge of the treasure house of money and grain, and Du Qian's iron rooster temperament is in the same vein. His last sentence directly caused a burst of "laughter and scolding" among officials of the Seoul government.

After everyone made a few jokes, Wang Lun pressed down on his hand. He knew that Wen Huanzhang said that he was here to report at this time, but in fact, he still got his own support in specific matters. After all, he has been in Zhenban County for so long, what else can he encounter that can't be solved? Chen Wenzhao has done a good job, could it be said that Wen Huanzhang is not as good as Chen Taishou?

"Teaching people to fish is nothing more than a way to provide for their families. At this time, I wanted to expand the Seoul Prefecture, build official roads between dozens of counties in the three states, and open a large shipyard in In-gun. In the future, Seoul will be the center of the peninsula, and various workshops will be set up to ensure the supply of weapons, armor, and agricultural tools. These are labor-intensive. Although there are 200,000 captives in Seoul, I am afraid that it will not be enough to fill them all in at that time, so why worry that the residents of the city will not have a place to eat? ”

As soon as Wang Lun spoke, he saw Wen Huanzhang smile heartily, this method of cash-for-work is no stranger to all the leaders of Liangshan, Wen Huanzhang also thought about expanding the city to tide over the difficulties when all industries were in recession, but the amount of money and grain involved in this matter is huge, and Wang Lun has to make a decision, otherwise Jiang Jingmo can also grind people to death, after all, in the word "money", he and all those who want to pay money in his pocket are natural opponents.

"It's time to expand the city, after all, Seoul is where the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate is located, and if you want to live in peace for a long time, the Great Song immigrants should keep more than half of the population in the city. Of course, it is better to double or triple the original registered population. In addition, this official road should also be repaired, and after the road is repaired, the connection between the states and counties will be closer, and both military and economic benefits will be immense. What's more valuable is that the aborigines can really see that we came here to build bridges and pave roads, so that their lives are better, not worse, and the social environment is better, not worse. This kind of thing that is very beneficial to integration, Xiao raised his hands in favor! ”

Xiao Jiasui, the deputy protector in charge of the military, also expressed his opinion, originally he came to observe, and was interested in everyone's discussion, and participated in it at the moment, "However, these costs money, and there must be a lot of money." Marshal, tell me the truth, how many seizures did we have in Seoul this time? ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiasui, who had always been calm, was a little curious, Wang Lun sold a pass, and said to him: "Deng Dujian, from tomorrow, all the more than 200,000 captives in the city will be handed over to you for custody, is there a problem?" ”

"Brother, don't worry, if you make the slightest mistake in the hands of your younger brother, you will ask for military law!" Deng Fei patted his chest and reassured. This time, he came across the sea from the Great Song Dynasty, and in addition to the 5,000 troops directly under him who were transferred to defend Hancheng, there were also 30,000 strong men who were temporarily recruited on Erlong Mountain. These young and middle-aged people who defected to Liangshan, it is estimated that it is not very reliable to ask them to fight, but as long as they act as guards and guards, there is still no big problem.

"By the way, Shi Wengong is now selecting and surrendering troops from this group of people, and when you complete the various projects assigned by Taishou, don't forget to cooperate with the work of leading Shi to select people!"

Shi Wengong went back to the camp after the banquet tonight, and did not attend this small-scale meeting. To say that his current task is not light, Wang Lun gave him the task of forming five teams of 5,000 people, and he did not need to be brave and good at fighting, first of all, he was obedient. Because they will be equipped in the five state capitals of the future peninsula (Han four counties plus Han City) to assist the Han army in maintaining a stable situation. In addition, Shi Wengong also had to form two teams that could not be too sparse, so that they could act as guides for the army's northern expedition in the coming days. In addition to the above two, he also has his own job as the commander of the Fan Fallen Army, which is to rebuild his crippled team.

"Cooperate by all means! But brother, if you want them to cooperate with us to defend the city, are these Koreans reliable? Deng Fei was a little unsure.

"If you can't feel the pulse, you definitely don't know the tune. As for how to feel the pulse, you can ask Shi Wengong for advice. He is the person who knows the most about Korean people in our cottage! Wang Lun said with a smile.

"Oh!" Deng Feiwen replied angrily, touched his head and sat back. Wang Lun heard Huanzhang introduce the problems he was currently encountering, and made decisions one by one on the spot, and determined many originally vague details. Just when Wen Huanzhang got enough support from Wang Lun and was satisfied, suddenly, he saw a middle-aged civil official suddenly get up and said to Wang Lun above: "The matter of Taishou is finished, and this official also has something to say!" (To be continued......)
