The empty boat left the capital, crossed the Yuyang Pass, flew for a long time, and finally came to a county seat.

Ao Huang poked his head out of the side of the ship, the slave stood on the dragon's head, his small paws firmly pressed the inkstone, and the little ink girl with a high index finger stepped on the ink Jiao, levitating beside the slave.

Yang Yuhuan held Fang Yun's hand and watched with Fang Yun.

The word Ning'an County has appeared frequently recently, and Fang Yun has become extremely familiar, so that it is obviously the first time to see Ning'an County, but there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.

Ning'an County is the transportation hub of the north of Jingguo, and almost all the grain and grass transported to the northwest, north and northeast will pass through here, because there is an east-west river outside Ning'an County, and the grain can be transported to the northeast or northwest by using the river.

That river is the Yishui River, which is very famous in the north, and the alias of Ning'an County is Yixian.

Ning'an County is hundreds of zhang away from the Yishui River, from which water is diverted to surround the city, forming a wide moat.

At this moment, it was almost noon, and I saw smoke curling from all over Ning'an County, with a peaceful look, not at all like a city close to the front line.

Directly north of Ning'an County, there are no real cities, they are all fortresses or checkpoints. Because, in those places, there is only war and life and death, and the demons will not give the human race any chance to grow food and livestock.

The walls were built high, and soldiers patrolled them.

Unlike the spring light in the south of the Yangtze River, the spring breeze seems to have not yet blown here, even if the sky is shining, and there is still a little residual snow in some places.

Fang Yun saw the spring in the south of the Yangtze River yesterday and the winter in the north today, feeling very strange, as if he was in two different worlds.

Flying closer, Fang Yun found that the city seemed to be cut apart by an invisible force.

Part of it was the barracks of Yan sù. Countless soldiers are in drills, and most of the soldiers here are new recruits, and after basic drills, they will be sent to various checkpoints on three sides.

One part is a lively businessman. Many merchant ships from Wuguo would enter Ning'an along the Yishui River, and goods would be transported from Ning'an to nearby cities, which was far less expensive than transporting them directly to the capital by land.

The last group is the residents of Ning'an County. Now there is no farm work, thanks to the power of the temple, the county is not cold, thanks to the prosperity of Ning'an County, as long as they contribute a little effort, they will not starve to death, so they have become the slowest pace of life group.

Yan sù, lively, scattered, obviously full of contradictions, but appeared in the same city.

See this qiē with your own eyes. Fang Yun only knew why Ji Zhibai tried his best last year, and he only got the first subject of people's livelihood in the palace exam, not even the second grade.

There are many factors involved in the people's livelihood, such as public security, wealth and poverty, people's customs, and so on.

Outside the pavilion three miles outside the city of Ning'an County, there were many people standing.

Fang Yun's gaze swept over there, and the major forces in Ning'an County came to mind.

Although Ning'an County has an army of the Eagle Yang Army. But the biggest force is not the military, but the transit department.

Although this department that controls the transportation of the entire Mizhou is only a four-grade yamen, its real power is even greater than that of the three three-grade yamen, including the state yamen, the state academy of literature, and the state army.

There are only four prefectures left in Michigan. The other five provinces either exist in name only, or have been occupied by barbarians.

If the place is small and there are few people, then there will be fewer readers. Naturally, the power of the Bunyuan is not great.

In Mizhou, the military is the heaviest, and the government that belongs to the civilian system is much less powerful than other places.

Although the state army is also part of the military. But it's just that the guardian force of Mizhou is completely incomparable with the Eagle Yang Army or the Dingyuan Army, so the power is also limited.

However, the trilateral armies are particularly dependent on the Transshipment Division, which results in the actual status of the Transshipment Division in Michigan being higher than that of other officials, at least Hanlin is in charge, and at the same time serves as the Trilateral Transshipment Division.

Two brands, one department.

Although the division of the "Mizhou Transshipment Division" is four products, the division of the "Trilateral Transshipment Division" is three products.

The name of the Si Zheng of the Transport Division is Geng Ge, and his wife died of a violent illness more than ten years ago, and then married the niece of Zuo Xiang Liushan as his wife.

The Transshipment Division not only has hundreds of thousands of civilian men or auxiliaries under its jurisdiction, but also has 6,000 soldiers in Ning'an County, which is a powerful military force.

Ning'an County is under the jurisdiction of Qingwu Prefecture, and the guards of Ning'an County were mainly responsible for the government army of Qingwu Prefecture before, but now, the "Beimang Army" in the Beizi Army of the Eagle Yang Army has completely taken over the city defense of Ning'an County.

The Northern Mangjun Army is the second largest force after the Transshipment Division.

The third major force is Ning'an Commercial Bank.

This is a huge business organization established by local heroes, and the founder of this business house is a number of founding giants in Jingguo, although they are not half-saint families, but their ancestors are all generals who follow Jingguo Taizu to shed blood and sweat, so even the half-saint family will not interfere in Ning'an's business.

Ning'an Commercial Bank has penetrated into all aspects of Ning'an County.

The fourth major force is the officials of Ning'an County.

Most of these officials are intermarried with local famous families, and they have been operating in Ning'an County for decades or even hundreds of years, and they seem to be of small rank, but they are directly responsible for all the details of Ning'an County, and if the county order loses them, they are almost no different from blind people.

The four major forces are almost completely on the left!

Fortunately, Fang Yun secretly received help from the Chen family, Zhang Heng's family, etc., and with the powerful power of the family, he had already obtained the allegiance of a very small number of officials, so that he would not be blacked out in Ning'an County.

Not only that, the Queen Mother handed over the information about Ning An in the Jingguo Military Intelligence Department to Fang Yun.

Even so, it is just to make Fang Yun change from zero to one, and there is still a long way to go from a hundred.

In the temple examination, although others would call Fang Yun a Void Saint, they could not exercise any power of the Void Saint, and Fang Yun could only treat himself as an ordinary county magistrate without any privileges.

The only thing Fang Yun can rely on is his private army.

There are more than 2,000 private troops here, and Fang Yun believes that the four major forces will not mess around.

However, if the four major forces want to toss a county order, they don't need to mess around.

This Ning'an County is the Longtan Tiger's Den.

Fang Yun looked up at the sky, it was obviously sunny, but it seemed like a mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Fang Yun looked down at the Sanli Pavilion below.

Ning'an County is an important town in the north, there is no Shili Pavilion at all, and there is only Sanli Pavilion at the farthest point.

Officials stood in front of Sanli Pavilion, and the road from Sanli Pavilion to Ning'an County was blocked by the state army, and there were swords and guns on both sides, and the momentum was soaring. A large number of Ning'an County residents crowded the streets behind the city gates, and Fang Yun could even see their expressions of joy or curiosity.

The empty building ship landed and stopped.

The young man in white stood on the ladder of the boat, his eyebrows were delicate, he seemed to be no more than twenty, but his eyes were deep, his demeanor was as steady as an old scholar, his eyes scanned, like a king inspecting, and the great Confucian came.

"Welcome Fang Xusheng!"

The people below, whether it is Sanpin Hanlin, who is in-law with Zuo Xiang, or the Beimang general who is the fourth rank of the Beimang Army, whether it is the son-in-law of the Cui Shengshi family, or the famous officials who have been entrenched in Ning'an County for more than 100 years, all bowed their heads respectfully, without the slightest response, but for fear of poor etiquette.

Fang Yun looked at them.

None of them withdrew their hands and raised their heads, just shook their hands, and looked at Fang Yun above with their peripheral vision.

"You don't have to be polite, from now on, we are a family. ”.
