Li Jin led the Thunder Cavalry to fight with the pursuers on the Xiongnu grassland, and after defeating the 5,000-strong Xiongnu army, the Thunder Cavalry rushed towards Liangzhou with all its might.

Since before this, the Thunder Cavalry had already penetrated deep into the Xiongnu steppe, and was not familiar with the terrain of the steppe, a lot of time was wasted, and the road to retreat was not smooth. The Huns soon showed the new movement of these "outsiders" and pursued them with all their might.

Fortunately, the leaders of the Huns determined that the Thunder Cavalry was retreating, and it was already the ninth day that the Thunder Cavalry entered the Xiongnu territory, and the best time to pursue was missed, and it was impossible for the brigade of men and horses to catch up with the Thunder Cavalry, and the small-scale tribal generals were not capable of posing a heavy threat to the Thunder Cavalry.

In the pursuit all the way thereafter, the Hun warriors fought eleven times with the Thunder Cavalry, and ended in a complete victory for the Thunder Cavalry, of course, the Hun troops behind were not large. When Li Jin returned to the territory of the Han Dynasty with his subordinates, it was just fifteen days before the troops entered the Xiongnu territory, and only 728 of the 1,000 cavalry remained, nearly 3oo soldiers died in a foreign land.

More than ten days of fighting seemed short, but since the fourth day, the Thunder Cavalry has been a continuous battle rush, which is a huge test for the physical fitness and energy of the soldiers, but the temperament of the surviving warriors is very different. The armor was torn, the machetes were broken, and the warriors and horses were mostly wounded, and the Thunder Rider needed some time to recuperate and digest the harvest of the steppe walk.

When Li Jin had just returned to Liangzhou, in the office of the lord of Luoyang City, Ah Niu was leisurely drinking tea with Lu Zhi. "Now the situation in Luoyang, Mr. sees it in his eyes, and if there is something wrong, please remind Mr. of it." A certain city lord poured tea for Lu Zhi and said with a smile.

Lu Zhi smiled, "Recently, displaced people have joined every day, all kinds of infrastructure have begun to work, the shop has also been in normal production, and the reconstruction of Luoyang is progressing smoothly." I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. ”

Although it has been destroyed, the area enclosed by the walls of Luoyang is still the area of the royal capital, and the buildings of the first-class city do not need much space. In fact, most of Luoyang City is still in ruins, but a small area in the center of the city has been cleared out, and the area now put into use is probably less than 2% of the total area of Luoyang City, and the reconstruction project has a long way to go.

It's just that this 2% of the area is the result of more than 20 days of hard work by thousands of people, and before Luoyang was upgraded to a second-class city, the cleared land should be enough now. In this case, Lu Zhi decisively put a lot of manpower into the project of cleaning up the road, except for the road that Cao Ren originally hastily paved at the east gate of Luoyang, the other three gates still have no way to go, even if the bad road that General Cao Ren has drummed up, it is also required to rebuild.

A large part of the reason why Lu Zhi is in a hurry to build the road is because of the adventurers.

More than 5,000 players have rushed to Luoyang and settled in Luoyang, and Luoyang City has absorbed more than 1,000 professional players from it. The presence of players in large numbers makes Luoyang more and more like a city (if you ignore the ruins of the city), and it also drives the city's economic development - leveled adventurers bring a lot of raw materials and buy medicines and weapons from the shops in the city.

Following the adventurers of Dragon Guardian Villa, as the news spread that "Luoyang has been restored to normal use", more and more adventurers came here to witness the resurrection process of this historic city. Although too many players have made Luoyang City a little more unstable, there is no doubt that it will promote the city exhibition.

The road construction is to improve the environment of Luoyang and give players more convenience. You can't just watch players rummating over the garbage heaps!

A city lord had a headache because he still couldn't enforce the curfew in Luoyang.

Luoyang is a historical city, not Feng Xiang's private domain, but this is not the reason why Luoyang cannot implement a curfew policy, and during the mission, Feng Xiang has enough management and use rights for Luoyang. The real reason is that there are not enough people.

Luoyang is different from Fengxiang, under the protection of the city wall, the entire territory is under the supervision of the martial artists, you must know that this was once a royal city! According to Liu Xing's estimates, in order to effectively control the curfew, at least 8ooo to 1ooo martial artists are needed!

"The actual number needed is probably much more. 8oo to 1ooo people refers to the manpower required to monitor such a large area, but in addition to the central area, Luoyang City is full of ruins and ruins on all sides, and it is not difficult to hide thousands of people in the city, which is a big trouble...... In addition, it is not difficult to sneak in from the city wall where the guarding power is empty......" Liu Xing said with some concern.

Even Feng Xiang, who is known for his many martial artists, will not be able to meet Liu Xing's most basic requirements unless all the martial artists are transferred. In this way, Ah Niu simply gave up the curfew for the time being, and placed the limited martial arts force in the central area of the city to intervene as necessary to the shouting of some adventurers at night.

There are 5,000 troops in the air, but this city still feels like an undefended city to Ah Niu.

"The reconstruction of the city is so smooth, it is inseparable from the prestige of Mr., if it weren't for those princes who sent materials and manpower in the face of Mr., I'm afraid Luoyang has not opened until now." A certain city lord chose the more vivid word "opening", which attracted Lu Zhi's knowing smile.

"What can you do with prestige alone? Without these craftsmen, workers and troops, without the support of the entire Fengxiang behind, Luoyang would still be in ruins. Lu Zhi sighed, stared at him, and said solemnly to Ah Niu: "There are two things that Ah Niu may need to pay attention to. ”

"Oh? Please speak, sir. ”

"The first thing is salary. Ah Niu is there now, during the period when we were building in Luoyang, salary expenses still accounted for 52% of the total expenditure, is this too exaggerated? ”

After staring at a certain city lord, Lu Zhi forcibly reprimanded the ruined behavior of "a certain city lord even paid the prisoners sent by Wang Kuang". When Ah Niu went to visit the lord players around Luoyang, Lu Zhi took the gun and took on the mission of "standing guard", knowing the current situation of Luoyang's rebuilding team well.

Lu Zhi knew that Fengxiang's funds were not as strong as he imagined, and the current Luoyang was still a bottomless pit, with no entry and no exit, and it also required a lot of capital investment. In Lu Zhi's view, it is not worth "wasting" precious funds on workers now, and it seems that Luoyang's liquidity is less than one million gold.

"This ...... The salary level has always been compared to our territory, and it is not good to adjust it now. Besides, those villagers who have been receiving high salaries have followed us to Luoyang without regrets, and the salary reduction seems to be a little unreasonable......"

"I know that Fengxiang's salary is very high, ordinary craftsmen and villagers can live a good life, just keep the salaries of those craftsmen and soldiers brought from Qingzhou unchanged, and the newly resettled homeless people don't need to be paid such a high salary, right?" Lu Zhi smiled bitterly.

Seeing that a certain city lord was still a little hesitant, Lu Zhi's face turned full, "After these days of getting along, I can see most of your character clearly, and Ah Niu's benevolent name is really true." But Ah Niu has ever thought that when you took over the errand of rebuilding Luoyang, do you really just want to marry someone? It is Fengxiang's responsibility to build Luoyang, but when the city is restored to its old appearance, it is also when it is completely cut off from Fengxiang. If I were you, I would take advantage of Luoyang to win more benefits for Feng Xiang while he was still in control of himself! ”

Ah Niu couldn't help but be shocked by Lu Zhi's words.

Although these words are reasonable, but when Lu Zhi says it, the taste is different, this gentleman is a noble figure who is a famous Confucian, both civil and military, and he is an authentic royalist. If these words were not for the purpose of temptation, it means that Lu Zhi has indeed regarded himself as a part of Feng Xiang and thinks about the problem from the perspective of Feng Xiang's interests!

If Lu Zhi's motive is based on the former, Ah Niu will not be able to admit that he rebuilt Luoyang mainly for personal self-interest, which will destroy the tall image of "for the country and the people" that a certain city lord has always created in front of Lu Zhi; If it is the latter, then Ah Niu's denial is simply insulting Lu Zhi's wisdom, not only is it meaningless, but he may be labeled as a "hypocrite".

Just when Ah Niu was still pondering whether to be honest or denial, Lu Zhi's words made him dispel his concerns, "The happiness and satisfaction of Fengxiang people, I have truly experienced it, and the residents of Luoyang in the past did not have such happiness. Rather than letting the new Luoyang people be exploited by others, it is better to let the best of them find a sense of belonging in Fengxiang! ”

A certain city lord stood up and saluted Lu Zhi, "As Mr. said, Ah Niu hopes that the people of Luoyang can have a better life, and at the same time, they can make Fengxiang stronger!" ”

Such a statement is undoubtedly a euphemistic admission that he is not just for the so-called public heart.

Lu Zhi didn't seem surprised at all, and nodded approvingly at Ah Niu's confession. With Lu Zhi's wisdom and rich life experience, he has long seen that Ah Niu is definitely not the kind of foolish and loyal person, and his good wishes also need strength as support, if it weren't for this, Feng Xiang would not have been able to show his current Cheng Dù. In fact, Feng Xiang was able to receive the task of rebuilding Luoyang, which showed that a certain city lord was by no means as "pure" as he had always appeared.

"Since I'm the Luoyang Taishou, I should also have the right to decide on the salary, right?"

"Yes."

"That's right, you don't need to worry about the specific things of salary reform, just let me be this wicked person. When the new Luoyang people know that the best of them have the opportunity to join Fengxiang, they will work harder for the salary of Fengxiang people, this is an opportunity, they need to fight for it themselves! Lu Zhi said with a smile.

"Just Mr. Yi."
