"It is indeed the heart of the subordinates, but in the past few years, the subordinates have gone up to ask for instructions, and none of the old man and Lord Liu have rejected them! How bright is the heart of such a subordinate, and the subordinates are motivated enough, and they are willing to use the strength to eat, in fact, the big guys are not lazy in government, and they are afraid that they will be tired and tired to death, and no one will hurt and be hated. ”

"Hmph, why don't you say that the salaries of the officials in your Longjiang City are twice as much as those in other state cities, and your Wen Chengxu's annual silver is more than that of the old man!" Liu Cong recounted.

"Isn't this also the foresight and wise decision of the old man and Lord Liu? If you have a high salary and are honest, no one will be greedy, and everyone who dares to be greedy will be punished...... By the way, Lord Liu, I am in a hurry to go this time, I haven't told you yet, I think Longjiang has to add some charcoal this year, how expensive is coal now. Wen Chengxu said.

"You Longjiang is next to the Heishantou Coal Mine, and you dare to say that coal is expensive, who are you coaxing!" Liu Cong recounted.

"It's really expensive, most of the coal from our Heishantou Coal Mine is exported to Dongying, and the rest is shipped to Northern Xinjiang, and it is not transported to the mainland, and the coal mine is not under my control, and it is very difficult for me to send people to order cheap coal, in fact, we have sheep manure in Longjiang, and it is not a problem to heat up in winter, but the problem is that they are all heated......

Most of the wealthy merchants living in Longjiang City are equipped with the most popular heating system in their houses, because they are clean. But the boiler of the heating system cannot use sheep manure, the heat is simply not enough, and only burn-resistant coal can be used.

Officials in Longjiang City are well paid and have a good quality of life, and they all have heating systems in their homes, and they spend a lot of money just to buy a lot of coal every year.

"I see that Cheng Xu, your Longjiang City is now the third largest city in Yanyun, my Xuanming is also the county seat, and your Longjiang is also the county seat, but it is a world of difference." Baili County Yamen is still a fire kang system, and all the burned are sheep dung, but fortunately, there are sheep dung bricks, and the house is not cold.

"You still have sheep dung to burn, we can only burn wood in Niutou Mountain in winter, but the boss is not allowed to cut down indiscriminately, and can only use charcoal braziers, and the mountain is cool and shady in winter...... You see that my Cui'er's jade hands are frozen, and I feel distressed to death! Li Tanhua said.

"Li Tanhua, Sister Lin, Ruolan has given you many letters, asking Miss Ouyang to go to Changshan or spend the winter in the wind, but you say that you don't want to say anything! And now he is saying it again! Dugulou said with a smile.

"It's Cui'er who refuses to go, but I do." Li Tanhua was insincere.

"Brother Tanhua, have you left Niutou Mountain for so long?" Yue Zhonglin asked.

"It didn't work before, but now it's no problem, there is Xiao Wenhuan in the north, Baili Qingyun in the east, Lao Murong in the west, and there is an old baby at home...... I've been out for a year and a half now, and I'm very relieved. Li Tanhua said with a smile.

The old baby of the family is naturally Li Xuanming, and now Li Xuanming has a very good relationship with the two of them, just like a family.

Or that now the situation has changed, Niutou Mountain is no longer Yanyun's natural danger, because the enemies in the north and west have now become friends.

But because he may face the attack of Da Zhou in the future, he still needs to be in charge of Niutou Mountain at present.

In addition, if he was transferred, Da Zhou would be extremely sensitive, and he would probably suspect Murong Heng in the west.

Xiao Chen and his entourage were secretly visiting, so they all dressed up as leather merchants, and after passing through the prefectures and counties along the road, they did not inform the local officials, and when they arrived in Longjiang City, it was also a secret residence arranged by Wen Chengxu, and after a day of rest, they set off to the north and entered the territory of Xianxiao.

Only Qiu Muling personally led the troops to escort him, but Wu Luolan did not show up, as for why he didn't show up, Xiao Chen knew in his heart, and the big guys also knew it, so no one asked.

Qiu Muling has been sending everyone to the border of Moxi, and Wanyan Pingqiu came to greet him in person, and asked Wu Luolan very uninterestingly, why didn't he come? She didn't go back to the capital after she came back, and she has been patrolling the neighborhood all the time......

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

"You kid doesn't sit in Fuyu City, what are you doing when you come back!" Xiao Chen questioned this guy.

"I've been out for so long, and I still have to come back to take a look?" Wanyan Pingqiu actually came back to dispatch troops, he was always worried that Xiao Chen and his party would go to Rus, so he came back and organized an elite Moxian cavalry, braving the cold and snow, all the way to the north, approaching the Rus' border, once the situation changed, he would kill directly to St. Ann Arbor!

"You kid, this is superfluous!" Xiao Chen glanced at the big car behind him, "Since I dare to go, I must be able to keep things safe, so I don't need you to worry about it?" ”

"Who's worried about you? I'm afraid that Mr. will lose! Wan Yan Pingqiu said, "If anything happens at that time, I will only save Mr. and not you!" ”

"Can I save you with this skill?" Xiao Chen said, "If we are in a hurry, we will take down St. Ann Arbor directly." ”

"That's what I told Uloran, but she doesn't believe it, where do you think she is now?" Wan Yan Pingqiu whispered, "She personally led her troops straight to the northern border, and she was stationed in Caotou Mountain, dozens of miles away from Rus, ready to meet you at any time. ”

"You two are really redundant." Xiao Chen's heart was warmly moved, and it felt so good to be cared for.

"Xiao Chen, what you said at the time made me the King of Yanyun still count?" Wan Yan Pingqiu suddenly asked.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Chen was suddenly alert.

"What if you don't come back? Then Yanyun County must not fall into the hands of Li Wanjiang, if it falls into his hands, it is better to give it to me, we are brothers. Wan Yan Pingqiu said with a smile.

"Phew!" Xiao Chen spat on the ground, "I'm not dead yet!" Are you so worried about my legacy? ”

"I knew your words didn't count!" Wan Yan Ping Qiu said.

"Wanyan, the current Yanyun County is not something you can control." Dugulou sighed, "It's not that you can't do it, it's that no one can do it except Xiao Chen." ”

"Why?" Wan Yan Pingqiu said loudly.

"Just because I am more handsome than you, higher in martial arts than you, and richer than you!" Xiao Chen said proudly.

"Kind of coming?" After Yan Pingqiu provoked, he wanted to race with him again.

"Come on, come on!" Xiao Chen grabbed the reins, "I shout one, two, three, and I can only hit the horse when I shout three!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll let you run three miles first!" Wanyan Pingqiu also likes to compete, although he said so, he untied all the bows, arrows and swords and handed them to his subordinates, and went into battle lightly.

"One, two, three!" As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, Wan Yan Pingqiu shot out like an arrow from the string, his equestrian skills were exquisite, but he was far above Xiao Chen, in fact, there were very few people who could beat him in the entire northern Xinjiang.

But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small black dot on the snow in the distance......
