The military department acted quickly, and it can be said that Jixiang has not stopped recruiting soldiers since the founding of the country.

This is not only an auspicious sorrow, but also a knot in Wang Xuan's heart.

No matter how well the defense line is built, there will be a day when it fails.

Without depth, without absolute military strength, auspiciousness will never be really auspicious.

The development of the Southern Continent gave Wang Xuan some comfort, at least he could have a way out when things were impossible.

But Wang Xuan still hopes to gain a firm foothold in the Xingyao Continent from the bottom of his heart, even if Jixiang withdraws all his defenses, outsiders will not dare to take any further steps.

This is a bit of a high requirement, but what's the difficulty if it's not high?

On the fifth day of November, Wang Xuan held a meeting with the cabinet, which was attended by Education Minister Zheng Xingxing and Justice Minister Sun Yufei.

There was only one topic on the agenda of the meeting, and that was how to strengthen national defense construction.

Wang Xuan proposed that starting from the academy (junior high school and high school), a month-long military training would be conducted every year, and the General Staff Department would be responsible for the assignment of instructors and the acceptance of results.

In addition, all men and women living in auspicious life, as long as they are at least 18 years old and physically able, are required to perform compulsory military service, one year for foreigners, and one to three years for auspicious people.

In case of special circumstances, such as advanced studies or scientific research, the receiving unit shall submit a written application, and the military department may be exempted from military service after inspection.

Since it is the first time to be implemented, there are too many people who meet the requirements, and it needs to be carried out in batches.

Wang Xuan plans to reserve 300,000 reservists for Jixiang within three years.

As soon as the plan came out, everyone was shocked, for fear that His Majesty would have unrealistic ambitions.

After a few explanations, everyone understood his thoughts, but they were worried that in this way, there would be a lack of labor, which would delay the development of auspiciousness.

For this reason, Wang Xuan threw out another plan to transfer the surplus labor of the southern continent to the mainland.

It is not only conducive to the integration of all ethnic groups, but also solves the problem of labor shortage.

When the local compulsory military system is on the right track, the Southern Continent will follow suit and implement it, which can be regarded as a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone.

Everyone also felt that it was reliable, so they asked the legal department to start studying the art of compulsory war.

Counting the days, it has been more than ten days since Wang Xuan came back, and the news that the auspicious expeditionary fleet returned with huge wealth, and the news that the auspicious king returned with the fleet had already reached Hu Yue.

I don't know how many people apply to see King Jixiang every day, and there are all kinds of things, and Wang Xuan is not seen.

On the 6th, the internal guard came to report, saying that Huo Xuewen, the deputy envoy of Xishan, asked to see him.

After Wang Xuan blurted out the word 'missing', he stopped the internal guard who turned around and said, 'Please'.

Huo Xuewen is the first time to Xiangyuan, here is not as splendid as the outside world rumors, luxurious, on the contrary, it is like a literati residence with a small family of assets, natural, harmonious, a little embellished traces, but also complement each other, just right.

All the way, there were birds singing and flowers, small bridges and flowing water, and it was rare to see heavily armed guards on duty, which calmed his nervous heart a little.

Wang Xuan met him in the pavilion in the front yard of the villa, just because this was the third time that the envoy of Xishan wanted to see him, so he also met.

"I have seen His Majesty the auspicious king, Huo Xuewen, the deputy envoy of Xishan, wishing His Majesty a long life and a long life!"

Wang Xuan smiled and pointed to the round wooden stool opposite him to sit down and speak.

Seeing that King Jixiang was so kind, Huo Xuewen was still a little nervous, so he completely let go and sat down next to the stone table.

"I was going to see you, but I was so entangled in affairs that I couldn't spare a moment, and I made you trouble. ”

"What Your Majesty said, this is a foreign minister's internal matter, and it is not troublesome. ”

Wang Xuan pointed to the fruit platter on the stone table, took an orange and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked after a while, "Please see you three times in ten days, but what's the big deal?"

Huo Xuewen didn't move the fruit on the plate, and said in a respectful tone: "Maybe it's not a big deal in the eyes of His Majesty, but it's a big deal in the eyes of me and other Xishan people." ”

"Oh, I'm interested in this, isn't it a small town thing?" Wang Xuan asked quippedly.

"Your Majesty is wise, this is exactly what happened. Huo Xuewen said with a smile, "My master has been staying in the town and is reluctant to leave, so he simply stayed, gave a hand to the construction technicians, engaged in logistics, and tried not to bother everyone." No, the overall project is progressing smoothly, and the interior decoration is missing, so the minister, on behalf of my lord, would like to ask His Majesty to take a walk in Xishan and witness the completion of Xihe Town, a symbol of our Xiji friendship. ”

Wang Xuanxin said, where did the Sun family live to help the technicians, it was obvious that the supervisor came, so he said: "Let's think about the last time I went to Xishan was a few years ago, and I flicked my fingers." ”

"Your Majesty has a really good memory, Xishan has relied on the dividends of auspicious and rapid development in recent years, and the construction of the territory is also remarkable, and please come to guide Your Majesty again. ”

Thinking that he had been running around for more than a year and had not been well accompanied with his family and children, Wang Xuan simply started to play, and said to Huo Xuewen, who was full of expectations: "It's okay, I haven't played mahjong with your lord for a while, and this time I fought him for a few rounds." You go back and tell your master, I will go over on the 12th, let him prepare the gold coins, don't cry if you lose. ”

After that, Wang Xuan was in a surprisingly good mood, and couldn't help laughing.

Huo Xuewen also had a good impression of His Majesty the King in front of him, who was a few years younger than him, friendly, free, sunny, generous, and had a convincing charm, and he also responded with a smile.

Subsequently, Wang Xuan carefully prepared the travel plan.

The flowers can't go, they still have to go to school.

The eldest sister's family of five, Yang Tao, her own family of three, the princess's family of three, Zhao Gongzi will definitely not be able to go, plus the guards and entourage, there are nearly 100 people.

After Wang Bi received the news that she was going to travel to Xishan, she responded with a smile.

The princess's family is also full of happiness, so that she can appear in front of the world openly in the future, and she doesn't have to worry about anything else.

On the 8th, the group took the 'Jixiang No. 1' luxury cruise ship and set sail under the escort of two river warships.

"Xingyao Lake is so big, and there are so many boats, they are all here for good luck?"

Qing'er is already twenty-six years old, and she is still as excited as a child seeing new things, and Wang Xuan's heart is moved for a while.

"Yes, for those of them at the bottom, auspiciousness is the world of fairy tales. ”

Wang Xuan hugged Xiao Wang Jing, looked at the boundless ships of all colors, and felt a feeling.

"But we don't want everyone, how pitiful it must be for those who can't pass the test. ”

Wang Xuan is not easy to accept, this world is rotten and good people can't do it, no one wants to kidnap him with morality.

In troubled times, it is already a great favor for auspiciousness to provide them with a safe haven, and it will be boring to get an inch.

"Some of the people who didn't make it to Jixiang went back, but more of them found a place to rest by the lake, waiting for their employers to come to their door every day under the embankment, and although the salary they were paid was less than half of that of a regular worker, it was enough for the family to live with dignity. ”

Obviously, Wang Xuan's words made the emotional Qing'er breathe a long sigh of relief.

The harem does not interfere in politics, this is a rule passed down from Wang Xuan's grandparents, she understands.

So she can only express her personal opinion at the right time and in the right place, and never too much.

It is not easy to be able to let those homeless people stay in a safe place, and to turn a blind eye to let them exploit some loopholes to earn some living money, it is not easy to do this as the king of a country, not to mention that she knows that her man is a master who can't rub sand in his eyes, and he is most disgusted by the appearance of the 'exception', so at this time, the eyes looking at Wang Xuan are as tender as water.

Xiao Wang Jing was only honest in Wang Xuan's arms for a while, and then struggled and said, "Go down, go down." ”

"Good, good, go down, go down. ”

So Wang Xuan had to let her down, but fortunately, the big tiger and the little tiger played well with her, and they were older than her, and the cousin and cousin got along well, and there was a group of old mothers to take care of her, so Wang Xuan also put her mind at ease and let her play.

Zhao Yuxin's two sisters are both studying at Jishi University, and in order to avoid suspicion, they also took leave to accompany their mother out to relax.

The family of three pointed to the sail in the distance, and they didn't know what to whisper, but the smile on their faces was obvious.

The broad vision makes people feel like the sea and the sky, and the whole person has become atmospheric, and he doesn't care so much about the things that worry about him on weekdays, and the whole person's ideological realm seems to have been sublimated, and he is superior to others.

Wang Xuan saw that everyone was in a good mood, and secretly said the value of coming out this time.

According to the original concept, he wanted to go out and see every year, but after becoming a king, he had little time to waste on traveling.

Fortunately, Jixiang is changing according to his plan, and maybe it won't be long before he can be a free man without restraints.

Freedom, freedom, who in this world can really be free?

On the 12th, Jixiang No. 1 slowly docked at the dual-use wharf of Hubei Development Zone.

Sun was already waiting in front with a large group of men.

"Welcome King Jixiang to inspect Xishan, welcome. ”

As he spoke, a pair of fat hands grabbed Wang Xuan's hands and rubbed them without saying anything.

"Okay, this is my auspicious land, what, do you want to get it back?" Wang Xuan withdrew his hand vigorously and tilted his head to stare at Sun.

Sun knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother lost his words, he should be punished, I will punish myself in the evening and apologize, what do you think, brother?"

Wang Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, "I won't go anywhere in Hubei today and tomorrow, and I'll go to your new town the day after tomorrow to have a look, and then the itinerary will be arranged by you, how about it?"

At first, when he heard that Wang Xuan didn't go to Xishan, Sun was still a little disappointed, but after hearing that the itinerary after tomorrow was arranged by him, he was immediately overjoyed, so he said heroically: "Don't worry, my brother won't entertain you well, and the hospitality will be comfortable, let you dispose of it." ”

With that, he burst out laughing.

After a few more small talks, Sun took the people and left, giving up time to the officials here.

His Majesty's first visit to the Hubei Development Zone was a big deal, and District Mayor Daniel Zhang and Security Bureau Director Qiu Yi did not sleep all night after receiving the news yesterday, and they rushed to sort out the hygiene, strictly check the passing crowds, and arrange guards, almost turning the small development zone upside down.

Fortunately, after the first internal guard arrived, he took over the defense task nearby, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

When Daniel Zhang and other officials, big and small, saw that His Majesty was traveling with his family, they knew that they would not have the opportunity to report their work today, so they arranged everyone one by one in the government guest house, a three-story luxury building.

Gu Yongnian, the auspicious envoy stationed in Xishan, also came, and chatted with His Majesty the King in the guest room for a full hour before leaving with a relaxed face.

Subsequently, Wang Xuan asked for a map of the development zone and looked at it carefully.

After several land sales here, there is already the scale of Jianye Town, but it is mainly for the development of service industries, and the larger factory is only a three-wheeled vehicle factory, which is still nominally a joint venture between Jixi.

The most lively place is the commercial center.

Auspicious goods are distributed there, and the people of Xishan will also sell local specialties.

There is a snack street, an entertainment street, a hotel street, a health street, and then a school, hospital, police station, Hubei bus terminal, government affairs center, etc.

To the east, there is a small factory area, with textile mills, breeding farms, vehicle parts factories, paper mills, fire material factories, grain and oil factories, etc.

A little further on, it is Xihe Town, a new town under construction in Xishan.

On the 13th, Wang Xuan listened to the work report of Daniel Zhang and others, and the overall situation was okay, relying on Xishan's strong demand for auspicious products, the development zone was somewhat nourishing.

Wang Xuan asked about next year's construction plan, and Daniel Zhang replied that it is better to take root in the service industry, do a good job in industrial adjustment, and strengthen investment in education and infrastructure.

Wang Xuan knows that although it has the name of a development zone, it is positioned in the tertiary industry.

After some encouragement, I chatted with Qiu Yi again.

The security here is not bad, Sun attaches great importance to the friendly relationship with the mascot, and the local people's concept of the legal system is much stronger than that of the mainland, so he is quite comfortable as the director.

Then Wang Xuan took his family to take a four-wheeled carriage made by his own family, and traveled to the Hubei enclave, but also saw some customs.

After having lunch in the snack street and going to the largest local shopping mall in the afternoon, Wang Xuan bought a gift for everyone, including himself, and even Hua'er and Zhao Yuxin were not left behind.

In the evening, the group watched an opera performance with local characteristics, and in Wang Xuan's opinion, it could be regarded as the germ of pop music, and some thoughts arose in their hearts.

Due to the excitement, the group played until midnight before resting.

On the 14th, Wang Xuan slept until the sun dried his buttocks before he got up lazily, and after breakfast, he took a car to Xihe Town.

The princess and the eldest sister's family are also very curious about the new town that has invested 'more than 100 million', and they have become curious babies along the way, looking at everything around them, and the people around them are also silently looking at their line of work, with friendly expressions.

Sun was already waiting at the intersection, and after seeing Wang Xuan get out of the car, he took a few steps forward and said: "Brother is very punctual, this road connects the development zone and the new town, how about we join forces to overhaul it?"

Wang Xuan laughed in his heart and said: "As long as you contribute people and money, we only need to produce materials." ”

Sun's expression froze, and then said generously: "It's up to you." ”

After turning to walking, it is considered to be within the town limits.

Wang Xuan didn't know how other people felt, but the biggest feeling he had was full of vitality.

The last time I went to Xishan, I saw the most malnourished people at the bottom, although all of them were not in bad spirits, but they were only better than other places, and they were not worthy of the word 'vigor'.

At that time, Wang Xuan knew that Sun was a good person to his subjects, and of course, the credit of Minister Zou Qiao was indispensable.

Thinking of Zou Qiao, Wang Xuan looked up and saw a slightly tired and wrinkled face.

It seems that time is fair for everyone.

Wang Xuan sighed in his heart, and the Sun family beside him saw it and said unintentionally: "Zou Qiao is the biggest contributor to the rapid development of my Xishan, and I have suffered him all these years, so I gave him Yongye Town in the west of the Lord's Mansion as his fief, which can be passed down by hereditary." ”

Zou Qiao saw that his master had brought up the matter again in front of King Jixiang, so he immediately thanked him, and smiled shyly at Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan secretly scolded the Sun family for being cunning in his heart, and now that he has stopped digging Zou Qiao to the auspicious idea, let them pass on the good story of their master and servant.

The roads in the new town are well built, at least they are all low and four-lane in both directions.

The surrounding greenery is all copied from the auspicious pattern, which is very beautiful, and the survival rate of the transplanted flowers and trees is very high.

Occasionally, a few dead plants have also been marked, and I think there is a plan to replace them.

The exterior walls of the building are all brick primary colors, red and gray, and cement seams, which are more atmospheric than most of the buildings in Jixiang.

The houses in the complex are designed with five and a half floors and an attic on the top floor.

Most of the workers' houses are five- to six-storey apartments, and there are few single-family double-storey villas, which are common in residential areas along the river.

Shopping malls, schools, hospitals and other supporting buildings are also beautiful and generous, with reasonable layout, and can radiate anywhere.

Although Wang Xuan has seen all of these plans, he is not as shocking as the real thing.

To be honest, he kind of liked it.

Except for the lack of electronic appliances, this place is exactly the same as he imagined in his heart, and the scene that has been blurred in the depths of his memory gradually wakes up, constantly urging him to walk around, touch here, step there, but he is more like the owner of this place, caring about every flower and tree, and caring about every house and residence.

Sun is a sensitive person, seeing the unusual demeanor of King Jixiang, he was a little suspicious of the lack of investment in the town, but he was convinced, Wang Xuan's performance is the best example.

Wang Xuan, who returned to God, said the first sentence that confirmed his idea.

"It's so beautiful here, I can't help but like it, and I was a little out of shape for a while, but I called my brother a joke. Wang Xuan's expression didn't seem to be fake, and Sun could see it.

"Brother's words will torment me, as long as you want, any auspicious town can be built a hundred times more beautiful than this. ”

This is the truth, Wang Xuan had no intention of being polite with him, so he walked north along the newly built brick road of the green belt on the bank of the West River.

Not far away is a bridge across the West River, called 'Lianli Bridge', Wang Xuan walked up, admiring every detail and caressing every carving.

His various performances along the way made Sun more and more proud.

A sense of superiority that he had never felt before arose, although he knew that, as he had just said, as long as Wang Xuan was willing, a town a hundred times better than this could be built on the auspicious land at any time, but at least now he was the only one in the whole continent.

The reasons for the inferior's happiness are sometimes so simple, ridiculous, and even humble.

After walking for an afternoon, although Wang Xuan was a little tired, he felt comforted in his heart.

After having dinner in the evening, I rubbed with the Sun family at least in the future, and it was midnight after a dozen, if it wasn't for Qing'er to persuade someone, I would have to stay all night.

Wang Xuan's hands were also itchy for a while, and he couldn't hold back when he was interested.

As the master, the Sun family had no reason to persuade Wang Xuan to make a truce, so he could only sacrifice his life to accompany him, and when he saw that he was about to leave, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his old waist and legs could not withstand the toss all night.

On November 15, Sun took Wang Xuan to visit the factory.

More than a dozen factories have been built here, which are being renovated and are expected to be put into trial production early next year.

On the 16th, Wang Xuan and his entourage followed Sun to the lord's mansion to stay, and on the second day, Sun proposed to let the auspicious government contract the decoration of the new town.

Wang Xuan secretly said that the meat drama is coming.

Sure enough, I saw that Sun said sincerely: "Don't hide it from my brother, I am satisfied with the construction of this town in my heart, the spies everywhere are about to drink the water of the West River, and the business of the surrounding stalls and vendors is also due to their care, so I don't bother the two masters, and the elder brother has also done the decoration together, the price is easy to say." ”

Wang Xuanxin said, what is not bothering the two masters, it is estimated that the price of the auspicious decoration company is too high, and he has to find his head.

So he smiled: "Little thing, I asked the Ministry of Construction to count it, three grades of high, medium and low, and then make a decision after reading the quotation. ”

The Sun family was overjoyed, and Wang Xuan was affectionate enough.

After visiting the workers and exchanging some experiences, Wang Xuan and his entourage took a carriage to the south wharf, and the next stop was Xinsong Town.

Just after Wang Xuan passed through the Gray Canyon, which should now be called the Golden Waterway, the whole auspiciousness was boiling.

"Have you heard, Your Majesty didn't like it after seeing the modern town built for Nishiyama, and wanted to build Baicao and Chiba Town exactly the same. ”

"Yes, I said how my family said that they were working overtime for several days in a row, and every time they came back, they fell asleep, and I thought there was someone outside. ”

"Oh, I heard that Xishan New Town was built at a great cost, do we have that much money?"

"Old man, you are so worried, Your Majesty has brought the boss back with a fortune this time, when will we be short of money. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty does not fight uncertain battles. ”

A group of people were talking, and there were more and more participants.

Some say that His Majesty wants to build a new town, some say that His Majesty wants to develop the southern forest in a big way, and some say that His Majesty wants to build a university.

The Government Council also did not publicly state, after all, His Majesty has not yet returned, and I am afraid that it will be a while before the letter is approved.

The spies are comfortable, they can get such an important piece of information without inquiry, and the money saved can buy a few more bottles of Dream Auspicious.

While being happy, he also secretly sighed, this auspicious king really doesn't stop, how long will it take to make trouble again when he comes back?

But it's okay, the more they toss, the more nourishing their lives can be.

So the spies seemed to have a unified voice, and they spread the news that King Jixiang was going to lose his newfound wealth to the sons.
