Gao Zhong put what he thought in one go, and then handed it over to Zhao Li to see that he got his support, so the two of them jointly played Pegasus and sent it to Jingshi, and the rest was waiting in anxiety. Military generals who are good at discussing state affairs have always been taboo by the Great Song Dynasty, especially generals like them who lead troops abroad, even if they have good intentions, it is easy for people to think of supporting the army and self-respect, and separating the heart of overseas, this matter will cause a storm if it is not done well, not to mention that Xiliao sent troops to interfere, and their own people recalled them.

Although he was worried about being impeached by the courtiers, Gao Zhong did not give up his idea, of course, he did not dare to set up a state and county to appoint local officials, so wouldn't he have put a hat of rebellion on himself. Therefore, he can only start from the most basic things, with the emperor for so many years, he still knows that the emperor started by farming, knowing that agriculture and animal husbandry are the foundation of the development of a place, and although the rivers in Zhenzhou area are longitudinal, but the lack of water conservancy facilities, especially in this semi-arid area, perfect water conservancy facilities to ensure farmers' income and agricultural development, especially to resist natural disasters provides a strong guarantee.

According to the local situation, when the canal was built, the plan of first the main canal and then the branch canal was adopted, considering that the local people were poor and thin, he asked the army to support the construction of agricultural water conservancy, and they were responsible for the main canal, and the local people were responsible for the branch canal. In order to mobilize the masses of all ethnic groups to participate in water conservancy construction, the method of cash-for-work in the interior was also introduced, recruiting people in the name of the Marshal's Office of the Western Expeditionary Army, building channels, and distributing grain to the people as compensation after the autumn harvest.

Considering that the local people only knew Khitan and did not know Chinese characters, the Shuai government issued a law requiring all public announcements, grain tax lists, and contract documents to be written in both Khitan and Chinese scripts. It is clear to the local people at a glance, so that the farmers and herdsmen do not bully the ordinary people who do not know Chinese characters and arbitrarily extort money. Meanwhile. Gao Zhong also carried out a harsh rectification of the local officialdom, purging all the powerful landlords who oppressed the people. A series of measures have stimulated the enthusiasm of the local people to develop production. The situation is becoming more and more favorable to the Great Song Dynasty......

Two months have passed, and the Western Expeditionary Army has helped the local people to build 100 trunk canals and more than 400 branch canals, which has greatly improved the basic conditions of local agricultural and animal husbandry production. In the face of the current good situation, Gao Zhong was not happy, it snowed in August outside the plug, and if the army continued to march, it would have to climb over two mountains, and if it did not move, it would have to wait for the next year.

"Report to the commander. The Overseer, please hurry home! Just as Gao Zhong was looking at the Nangui flying geese in a daze, a pro-soldier Pegasus came to report.

"Oh, when was you in such a hurry?" Gao Zhong frowned and asked.

"Your great handsome, Chaozhongqin has arrived, and he is now waiting in the Shuai's Mansion!" The soldier replied.

"Qin sent it, why did you report it!" Gao Zhong was taken aback, Qin sent out to patrol with the emperor in person, they were going to go out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, and now everyone arrived at the Shuai Mansion He knew. Have you not committed the crime of deceit?

"Dashuai, the Qincha light car Jian has never put up a guard of honor, only a dozen or so entourage, and he has not been notified in advance. Therefore, everyone does not know when Lu Daoqin entered the city. The pro-soldier saw that Gao Pet's face was not good, and he shrank his neck in fright and explained.

"Who's coming?" Gao Zhong asked again, if the old brothers can still go around. I won't blame him for his poor etiquette, what I'm most afraid of is those civil servants who have a lot of things.

"Excellent. The little one doesn't know, it is said to be Lord Chen Dongchen in the imperial history! The soldier raised his eyes and replied cautiously.

"How could it be him? Alas. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! Gao Chong's brows furrowed deeper, his worries became a reality, and it must be his own performance that caused trouble.

And the matter seems to be more serious than Gao Zhong thought, this Yushitai is specialized in investigating and punishing illegal officials, and Chen Dong is a famous ghost in the court, no matter how close he is, as long as he grabs the pigtail, he will be unlucky. But it's hard to take the water, and I also thought that there might be such a result, anyway, the matter has come to this point and can only face it, thinking that the emperor will not take his own life in the past, and he will lose his official position at most......

"Lord Chen, Ben Shuai couldn't greet him in person, please bear with me!" When Gao Chong returned to the Shuai Mansion, he saw a person sitting in the hall, Zhao Li was accompanying him with tea, it was none other than Chen Dong in the imperial history, although he had washed up, but he still couldn't hide his exhaustion, it seemed that the road was very hard.

"Gao Shuai doesn't need to be polite, get ready to accept the order!" Chen Dong returned the salute and said with a calm face.

Gao Chong saw that Chen Dong's attitude was so indifferent, although the two did not have a deep friendship, but after all, they had been ministers in the same palace for many years, and they met thousands of miles away from their homeland, not to mention that the tears were full of tears and even the greetings were saved, which must not be a good thing, otherwise it would not be this attitude. Seven up and eight down in the heart, but the number of etiquette can not be less, after the high pet washed and changed clothes, the incense case has been arranged in the hall.

"The minister is favored to take orders!" Gao Zhong also let go anyway, and knelt down and kowtowed after the incense was finished.

"I'm so relieved!"

"Lord Chen......" Listening to the first sentence is not bad, Gao Chong's heart is slightly wider, but he pouted and knelt on the ground and waited for a long time but there was no follow-up, he raised his head and asked suspiciously.

"Gao Shuai will take the order and thank you!" Chen Dong had already rolled up the holy decree and waited for him to receive it with both hands.

"This ...... Hurrah, hooray, hooray! Looking at Zhao Li smiling and signaling him to hurry up and accept the order, Gao Chongzhi said that his junior brother has always been too lazy to write, but this thousands of miles away let people bring four words to themselves, which is too much!

"Lord Chen, do you have any other orders?" Gao Zhong got up and took the holy decree, opened it to see that it was only four words, and asked puzzledly.

"Your Majesty has no other orders!" Chen Dong shook his head and said, there was still no smile on his face.

"Lord Chen, this handsome is stupid, and he still doesn't know the holy will, please explain a thing or two!" Gao Zhong is even more confused, and he can't figure out whether these four words are a compliment to himself, or a dissatisfaction with what he has done? If it is a compliment, but it is not clear what you will do next; If you are dissatisfied, what is the meaning of sending such a person to deliver the message?

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Zhao Li and Chen Dong laughed together when they looked at Gao Pet's embarrassed appearance, but it made him even more confused.

"Gao Shuai, Your Majesty's will has been clearly stated, and I appreciate your strategy of running Mobei very much, and praise you in front of the ministers for being a rare general of the Great Song Dynasty, both civil and military, and have ordered Shangshu Province to implement it. The official has come to see that you have already taken the first step, saving the official a lot of effort, and thank you in advance! Chen Dong smiled enough before he spoke.

"It turns out that Lord Chen can also joke, but he scared Ben Shuai into a cold sweat, thinking that His Majesty sent an adult to investigate me!" Gao Pet breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But how can you save the strength of adults?" ”

"Dashuai, no matter how good the strategy is, someone must implement it, Lord Chen volunteered to ask His Majesty to take charge of Mobei, and has been appointed by His Majesty to run Mobei as the envoy of the Northwest Road!" Zhao Li took the words and said with a smile.

"Oh, congratulations to Lord Chen, but why did the adults come alone?" Gao Zhong congratulated and smiled, but it was ridiculous but unnatural, and an inexplicable loss swelled in his heart, the new official had already taken office, and he should return to the court, and the vigorous westward expedition ended in such a hurry.

"Hehe, this official is new and needs a lot of guidance from Gao Shuai! Originally, it would take several days to select officials and mobilize soldiers, but His Majesty was worried about delaying the military plane, so I had to hurry up to the road to deliver the order, and the follow-up brigade would arrive, and the official was just one step ahead! Chen Dong replied with a smile.

"Well, I see, as soon as the team arrives, Ben Shuai can also return to the court to hand over orders!" Gao Chong said gloomily, he was still lucky, thinking that the emperor would use a group of people from the Shuai Mansion as the team to run Mobei, but he heard Chen Dongyi say that he had completely lost his thoughts.

"Gao Shuai is afraid that he will not be able to go back for a while, and the Privy Council has ordered the Western Expeditionary Army to continue to attack and destroy Gaochang in the west!" Chen Dong waved his hand, and asked for a fire envelope from the entourage behind him, and handed it to Gao Zhong with both hands.

"Great, if it weren't for the Western Xia breaking the contract, my army would have already marched south of the Tianshan Mountains at this time!" This is really a peak and a loop, and the dead wood is spring, and Gao Pet patted his thigh and shouted.

"Things are not so simple, and the reason for stopping the westward advance is also because a major incident has happened in the DPRK and China, and now it has just subside......d," Chen Dong informed the two of them of the beginning and end of the abdication turmoil, explaining the risk at that time, but fortunately it had subsided and did not cause a major shock.

"I see, someone is trying to harm the emperor, and fortunately they stopped in time, otherwise I will lead the army back to China to quell the rebellion and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" Gao Zhong said angrily when he heard this.

"Gao Shuai is angry, Your Majesty is worried that you won't be able to hold your breath, so you haven't told it, so as not to affect the plan of the Western Expedition. Now His Majesty has sent an envoy to Xixia to ask why he broke the contract, and he is worried that the two mountains on the way will be difficult to climb over in the early winter in the northwest and the two mountains on the way will miss the plane, so he sent his official to take over the affairs of Zhenzhou day and night! Chen Dong hurriedly diverted the topic and said, he knew that these two people had an extraordinary relationship with the emperor, and it would be difficult to clean up if something really happened.

"Your Majesty is really strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, these things have been thought of!" Zhao Li and Gao Zhong glanced at each other and said, they and the emperor thought together.

"Your Majesty has another matter to instruct, asking the official to convey it to the commander and the supervising army." Chen Dong said with a smile, and he also felt in his heart that the reason why the emperor was able to successfully quell the turmoil and force the Jin Kingdom was by no means lucky, but because he carefully designed, took into account all aspects of the matter, and was prepared before the danger came.

"Your Majesty still has an entrustment, Lord Chen, please speak!" Gao Zhong said respectfully.

"Your Majesty thinks that this time you will inevitably fight with Western Liao, but you must treat ...... differently," Chen Dong truthfully relayed the emperor's words to the two...... (To be continued......)
