A group of several hundred people, driving the carriage, slowly walked into the vast wilderness.

"It is said that the wilderness of atonement is so chaotic! This personal experience does not live up to its name!" Qian Sanjiang could not ride a horse, so he had to sit in a wagon - because the horse-drawn bus was too expensive, Qian Sanjiang was reluctant to buy it - shook his head and expressed his "unique opinion".

"That's President Qian just walking with us!" a burly cavalryman who happened to walk beside him grinned when he heard this, "If there were only a few people in your Chamber of Commerce, you would find that there were so many people in the wilderness!"

"Is it so exaggerated?" Qian Sanjiang was a little unconvinced, he felt that this cavalryman was boasting about his martial arts.

"If you don't believe me, you can leave the team and try it yourself!" said the cavalry angrily.

"Can't I believe it?" Qian Sanjiang hurriedly said, he is not stupid, even if he doesn't believe it, he can't risk his life.

"President Qian, don't be dismissive!" At this time, Xu Wanyou, the third-class deacon who had just joined the Foreign Affairs Department, happened to pass by, heard the conversation between the two, and interjected with a smile, "There are no absolutes in the world! Just like no matter how poor a country is, there will always be a rich landowner, and no matter how rich a country is, there will always be poor people who can't have enough to eat.

"Thank you, brother, for solving your doubts!" Qian Sanjiang hugged his fists.

"It doesn't have to be like this! Just when you get to the City of Atonement, try not to act alone!" Xu Wanyou laughed, raised his horsewhip, and said, "I still have something to do, go first!"

"This brother, do you know who that person was just now?" After Xu Wanyou left, Qian Sanjiang hurriedly pulled the cavalry who had just spoken to him and asked.

"He, he's Lord Xu Wanyou, the third-class deacon of the Department of Foreign Affairs!" The cavalry looked at the direction Xu Wanyou left and said with a smile, it could be seen from the cavalry's expression that he had a good impression of this Deacon Xu.

"Xu Wanyou..."Qian Sanjiang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a character, I don't know if I will have a chance to make friends in the future!"

......

Time back to ten days ago, Kaifeng suddenly wanted to buy a boat, reminding Li Kang that it was time to go to the Jinhe River to collect gold, and calculate the days, the gold clan by the Golden Lake also arrived at the annual god worship ceremony, which was also the day when Li Kang and Yue Fei discussed the expedition.

Therefore, Li Kang did not delay, called Guan Zhong and Qi Jiguang, gave instructions in person, and then took the only four guards and went to the southwest lightly, this time it only took two days, and the five of them killed Xiangao Town, which is located in the northernmost part of the Jinhe region.

Although Xiangao Town is not located directly on the bank of the Jin River like Fuxi Town, it is not far from the Jin River, just a mile apart, and it also has the responsibility of panning for gold.

Not only Xiangao Town, but also five of the seven towns of Jinhe are built along the river, the difference is only that the distance from the river bank is different, but the farthest will not exceed three miles.

Therefore, before heading to the final destination, Fuxi Town, Li Kang had to sweep away the gold accumulated in the towns in the past two months along the way.

Of course, while sweeping the gold, Li Kang also decided to inspect the towns and brush up on a wave of presence.

The gold panning results of Xiangao Town are quite gratifying, and they have contributed more than 90,000 points to Li Kang, nearly 100,000 yuan, which is pure gold panning income, and the efficiency is much stronger than that of Fuxi Town at the beginning.

There are reasons for the high gold content of the river section where Xiangao Town is located, but it cannot be said that Tie Xuan, the mayor of Xiangao Town, has a very good set of management.

The subordinates are capable, Li Kang is naturally happy, and directly rewarded Tie Xuan with a hundred dollars, ten silk horses and a set of small courtyards under construction in Xin'an Town - Li Kang specially selected a site for Yu Wenkai to supervise the construction, one is to reward his subordinates, and the other is to circle money, but it will take a while to wait for it to be completed.

Accompanied by Tie Xuan, Li Kang inspected the development and construction of the town in a decent manner, some functional buildings were the first to stand up, which made Li Kang very satisfied, followed by the road surface, although it is a loess road, but it is very neat and strong, and there will be no holes if you stomp a few feet hard, and even the splashed smoke and dust are also within Li Kang's acceptable range.

Up to now, Xiangao Town has built one horizontal, two vertical and three main roads, and a town has begun to take shape.

After walking around the town, Li Kang went to the construction site of Zhongxian Road again, visited all the staff of the hard-working Second Road Repair Team, and even smiled at the captured slaves, always showing an approachable attitude.

Let the people at the bottom feel close while being in awe!

Li Kang has more than once educated his bureaucrats in this way in front of the public.

After a cordial conversation with Che Zewei, the leader of the road repair team, Li Kang also deliberately selected an ordinary worker at random, greeted him with warmth, and told the plight of the imperial court by the way, saying that "it is not that I am unwilling to let everyone live a good life, but the resources are limited, so it depends on the people to build a beautiful home with their own industrious hands, and you are the vanguard among the people", and also deeply encouraged the other party to overcome all difficulties, overcome everything, and have the spirit of hard struggle.

The whole process was "true feelings", and the honest people who were moved were in an uproar, so they almost took a knife to cut their hearts and lungs to show their loyalty.

Finally, under the reluctant gaze of the crowd, Li Kang left the construction site and went to the temporary camp of the gold diggers in Jinhe.

On the way, Li Kang saw Tie Xuan's tangled and unbearable look, and he probably guessed his thoughts, and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm hypocritical?"

"The subordinates don't dare!" Tie Xuan's face changed, and he hurriedly said.

"Don't dare! That's it!" Li Kang looked at him with a smile.

Tie Hyun opened his mouth and wanted to deny it, but in the end, for some reason, he didn't say it, and directly acquiesced.

Li Kang was stunned for a moment, [Could it be that Tie Xuan in history is so strong? Or is it because he is too young to reach the peak height in history?]

"Hypocrisy, hehe, you have to remember that what the people always want to see is that they are a good official and a good emperor who governs themselves!" Li Kang said, "In essence, whether it is hypocrisy or sincerity, an official with a conscience, he will try his best to do good deeds." The difference lies in the fact that sincere officials will say that they are doing all this for their political achievements, for promotion, and for realizing their ideal of self-cultivation and governing the country and the world, while hypocritical officials will say that they should do all this, for the sake of one parent, for the peace of one party, and for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment.

"An official who has no conscience, and who only thinks about promotion and getting rich, is it hypocritical? Is it sincere? Is it necessary to know! When the time comes, it will naturally be sent by His Majesty the Emperor to come down to eliminate harm for the people!"

In his heart, Li Kang still clearly understands that a 'hypocritical' bad official is more harmful to the country than a 'sincere' bad official!

However, this is not in line with his point of view at this time, so naturally he will not say it.

"Of course, if the inside of the court is filthy, so many hypocritical politicians can fool the common people, and they can also give the common people some spiritual comfort and will not suffer a double blow. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Li Kang subconsciously remembered some unpleasant things in the old world, but now... Sure enough, the ass decides the head!
