On this day, Liaozhou City was empty of thousands of people.

The liveliness is comparable to that of the Shangyuan Festival.

However, the scale of the costume is several levels lower than on the day of the Shangyuan Festival.

Only a twenty or thirty-meter-long red carpet passed through the main city gate, and the red cloth greeting from the city walls.

However, the people of Liaozhou as a whole didn't feel that there was any problem, because they thought that Pei Xiang, who was greeted by them and others, didn't like to be extravagant and wasteful.

The families in the city have also arrived, and many people from the three clans in Hedong have come, Pei Yonghan, Liu Yongshou, Xue Wenbo, etc. are all on the scene.

At that time, all the assassins and governors of Hedong Province appeared at the main gate and waited.

Fang Yuan, as the host, arrived very early to greet these assassins and governors present.

In the face of Fang Yuan's greeting, some were enthusiastic, some were flat, but no one expressed hostility.

can sit on the position of assassin history, although there is the help of the family behind it, but he also has the ability to surpass ordinary people and the city government, and he will not easily show dissatisfaction.

"Fang Tingshi, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou."

Li Tao walked over.

There was also a middle-aged man of about the same age next to him.

The middle-aged man has a small scar on his right forehead that extends to the position of his eye, parting his right eyebrow.

"I've seen Zhang Dudu!"

Fang Yuan was shocked in his heart and immediately saluted.

This Zhang Gongjin Fang Yuan will not be a stranger, one of the twenty-four heroes of the future Lingyan Pavilion.

However, his current status is not as powerful as Li Tao, Li Tao is already a national prince, and he is still a county prince.

"I've seen the history of the square thorn."

Zhang Gongjin also hurriedly returned the salute.

In terms of official position, he is even higher than Fang Yuan.

But Li Tao was very optimistic about Fang Yuan and personally brought him over to get to know him.

Therefore, for the sake of Li Tao's face, he has to behave better.

"I heard the name of Zhang Dudu earlier, and when I saw it today, I knew that it was worthy of the name."

Fang Yuan smiled and sent a rainbow fart.

A big man who can go to Lingyan Pavilion in the future, it's no problem to hold a few more times.

If you want to have a good road, you have to have someone in the middle.

"Fang Tingshi laughed, I'm all in vain."

Zhang Gongjin obviously smiled a lot more enthusiastically.

Talking and laughing with Fang Yuan and Li Tao, the atmosphere is good.

Some people have been paying attention to Fang Yuan's place, and they are all surprised to see the laughter here.

You must know that there are only two governors in Hedong Province, and both governors have a good conversation with Fang Yuan, which is surprising.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone was a little tired.

At this time, a fast horse rushed back in the distance, it was Zheng Jiu who reported the news.

"Zhou Zun, Pei Xiang's team is here, and it is only a few miles away."

Zheng Jiu dismounted and reported.

When everyone heard this, they immediately became enthusiastic again, and the atmosphere became high.

"Line up!"

"Get ready to beat the gongs and drums!"

Fang Yuan shouted.

The ceremonial procession to greet them is ready.

The assassins and governors present also began to line up one after another.

Fang Yuan, as the host, although he is the history of the Xiazhou Thorn, has to be ranked first.

Then there are Li Tao and Zhang Gongjin, a total of three people are the first column, and then the following is the history of Shangzhou Thorn, Zhongzhou Thorn, and Xiazhou Thorn.

There are twenty people in total, and the team is neatly arranged.

Behind the history of the assassination are the officials of Liaozhou and the Liaozhou family.

The people at the scene also became serious and looked into the distance.

Finally, people saw the procession, and it was a long line.

Looking at it from afar, those who don't know thought it was the one who picked up the bride and came back.

In this regard, Fang Yuan, Li Tao and Zhang Gongjin all glanced at each other, but did not speak.

Soon, the procession came to the front, and people saw that the escort team numbered in the thousands.

The state of the escort team felt like an army, which shocked the people present even more, and secretly sighed at Pei Lian's authority.

Soon, the team rode out of a woman, she was beautiful and charming, like a red sun, and attracted the attention of the audience as soon as she appeared

"Princess Xiangcheng of this palace, I am ordered by Your Majesty to escort Pei Xiang to Liaozhou!"

The woman said aloud.

The delicate voice spread throughout the audience.

When the words fell, many people were stunned.

Pei Xiangzhishi, escorted by the princess, sheltered by thousands of troops, and extremely favored.

"Meet Princess Xiangcheng!"

The crowd saluted.

The sound wave resounded in Liaozhou City.

"Excuse me!"

Princess Xiangcheng held her right hand and said loudly.

Everyone slowly withdrew their etiquette and looked at Princess Xiangcheng.

Princess Xiangcheng sat on her horse, her gaze swept towards everyone present, and finally her gaze fell on Fang Yuan's body, and she suddenly threw her eyes mischievously.

This scene was seen by many people, and the eyeballs almost bulged.

Fang Yuan, who was unprepared, was also surprised, and almost couldn't stand still.

What does it mean to flatter yourself in front of everyone's eyes?

Fortunately, everyone only saw Princess Xiangcheng throwing their eyes, and they didn't know who they were throwing it to, which did not cause a greater shock.

"Please Pei Xiang!"

Princess Xiangcheng retreated.

It's as if nothing happened.

As her words fell, the soldiers of the convoy parted from each other.

At the end, a carriage slowly galloped out and came to a stop in front of everyone.

"Xiaguan greets Pei Xiang!"

Fang Yuan and the others saluted to the luxury carriage.

As the words fell, the scene greeted the team with gongs and drums.

With a rumbling, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and an old man came down from above.

"Let your colleagues wait, I am deeply disturbed, please get up, please get up."

Pei Lin dismounted and helped everyone present.

At this time, Princess Xiangcheng dismounted and walked behind Pei Lian.

There is also a heroic young general, this person Fang Yuan has also seen, it is Xiao Rui.

"I like to welcome this time very much, there is no extravagance and waste, everything is simple, good, good."

Pei Lin looked around the audience, his eyes full of sighs.

When he had seen the whole scene, his gaze stopped on the red cloth on the city gate.

[Welcome Pei Xiang to Liaozhou City. 】

"Pei Xiang, please enter the city!"

Fang Yuan spoke.

A group of river east thorn history have moved out of the way.

"Are you the Liaozhou Thorn Shi Fangyuan?"

"This greeting was well done and deeply rooted in my heart."

Pei Lin slowly retracted his gaze and walked towards Fang Yuan.

His old hand grabbed Fang Yuan's palm and slapped it on the back of Fang Yuan's hand forcefully.

It was as if the elders recognized the juniors, and looking at Fang Yuan's eyes, they were also full of kindness.

"It is an honor for Xia Guan and his colleagues in the Assassin's Mansion and the people of Liaozhou to be satisfied."

Fang Yuan was a little surprised, and said respectfully.

In the greeting procession, the officials of Liaozhou were full of pride.

Being able to satisfy Pei Xiang is really the pride of their subordinates.

"Good, good!"

"Governor Li, Governor Zhang, have made you work hard."

"Your Majesty's kindness is great, and you can't refrain from it, it's really moving."

Pei Lin let go of Fang Yuan's hand and looked at Zhang Gongjin on the side.

"Pei Xiang is for the country and the people, and his merits are very great, and he should be."

Li Tao and Zhang Gongjin saluted again.

"Guys, it's a good job."

Pei Lin said as he looked at the other assassins.

"It's an honor."

The crowd saluted again.

"Folks, thank you for your welcome, Pei Lin is grateful, go back, go back."

Pei Lin turned his head to look at the people at the scene and saluted for the first time.

"It's an honor."

The people also saluted.

Pei Lin nodded with tears in his eyes and walked towards the city.

Fang Yuan was also ready to follow, but at this time, Princess Xiangcheng approached Fang Yuan.

"Pei Lin didn't like Jane's greeting very much, and scolded you in the carriage when he learned about it."

Princess Xiangcheng whispered in Fang Yuan's ear.

After speaking, he staggered Fang Yuan and followed behind Pei Lian.

Xiao Rui also followed, but seemed to hear Princess Xiangcheng's words, and glanced at Fang Yuan gloomily.

Fang Yuan pretended that nothing had happened, and followed the back of the team, chatting with Pei Lin and the other Shangzhou assassins.

It's better for someone to entertain Pei Lian, anyway, with his current situation, no matter how well he chats with Pei Lian, it won't have any effect.

He and Pei Shi are already on opposite sides, and there is almost no room for maneuver, I just hope that Pei Lin will not go too far this time, so that everyone will not be able to get off the stage.

Suddenly, Pei Lian, who was walking in front, stopped, and everyone also stopped.

"Hey, where's Fang Thorn Shi?"

Pei Lin looked left and right.

"Here."

Fang Yuan responded and stepped forward quickly.

"As the history of Liaozhou Thorn, how can Fang Thorn not be at the forefront?"

"Come on, introduce the current situation in Liaozhou to the prime minister, the prime minister loves Liaozhou too much."

Pei Lin beckoned to Fang Yuan.

Pull Fang Yuan to his side.

This was originally the seat of a Shangzhou assassin.

After being occupied by Fang Yuan, a trace of gloom flashed across his face.

But it quickly disappeared as if it had never happened.

"Pei Xiang, colleagues, the development of Liaozhou in the past half a year can be described as fast."

"Look at the road under your feet, this road is called a concrete road, and it is as strong as a rock."

Fang Yuan did not have stage fright.

Even the nearby ones are Shangzhou Thorn History.

He talked eloquently, guiding everyone to see the concrete road under their feet.

In fact, the assassins present already knew about the cement road when they arrived yesterday.

It's just that how the concrete road was made, and how much of its value, they don't know now.

Similarly, Pei Lin is also curious about the cement road!

When he entered the territory of Liaozhou, he felt that the carriage was not bumping.

This is undoubtedly the most comfortable time for an old man of his age.

Therefore, after hearing Fang Yuan's guidance, he couldn't help but be attracted by Fang Yuan, and even touched the cement road.

Seeing this, other thorn histories also touched your road one after another, and sighed at the firmness and flatness of the cement road.

The Liaozhou officials who had not yet left and the people present were even more proud, proud that they had cement roads in Liaozhou.

Under Fang Yuan's propaganda, there are only two places in the Tang world that have cement roads, one is Langzhou, where Fang Yuan once served, and the other is Liaozhou.

"Concrete roads are known for being strong and flat, and it is not a problem to use them for 100 years after they are built."

"Its flatness makes vehicle transportation more than 30% faster than ordinary official roads, and can also ensure that goods will not be damaged, etc., which is a means to greatly strengthen the economic development of various places."

"At the same time, it is also super convenient to transport grain, and it will not be delayed due to weather and other reasons and cannot deliver grain on time.

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Earnestly introduce the benefits of cement roads.

The opportunity is rare, and the benefits of the cement road are pushed out.

I believe that there will be some thorns in the scene who can see the importance of the cement road, and will think about building it in their own territory.

"The history of square thorns, can cement roads be promoted?"

Princess Xiangcheng was the first to respond to Fang Yuan, the first to ask.

However, she actually already knew the role of the cement road, and now she is just afraid of the cold field to help Fang Yuan.

Everyone didn't speak, the scene was a little quiet, and they all looked at Fang Yuan.

In the crowd, Pei Yonghan's face suddenly became ugly, and he wanted to stop it.

Fang Yuan's cement has been taken by Pei's family, and it is something that they want to take for themselves.

If more people on the scene pay attention and know the benefits, then they will not be able to possess it.

"Naturally."

Fang Yuan smiled confidently.

Everyone was in an uproar, and they all had ideas.

Princess Xiangcheng chuckled and did not continue to speak.

"Since it can be promoted, it is better to contribute the technology to the imperial court, and the imperial court will promote all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and benefit the country and the people, wouldn't it be happy?"

Pei Lin suddenly sighed.

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Yuan with anticipation.

"yes."

"Promoted by the imperial court, there are such roads all over the world, and when the time comes, it will be more convenient for us to communicate."

"Pei Xiang is wise!"

"Pei Xiang is righteous!"

Many thorn histories nodded their heads.

completely praised Pei Lone's righteousness and so on.

But they didn't think about whose cement road it was.

"Pei Xiang is righteous, and the lower officials are deeply admired."

"However, cement is a thing that the people have worked hard to develop, and they refuse to hand it over to the imperial court."

Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed.

"If you work hard to develop it, then give it some hard money."

Pei Lin shook his head, as if he wanted to make a conclusion on the matter.

Princess Xiangcheng frowned slightly, wanting to say something to stop her.

But at this moment, a rapid cough sounded.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Pei Yonghan coughed vigorously.

Because of deliberate overexertion, my face was red.

The throat also seems to be hurt by this sudden outburst.

"The people's things, naturally, can't just be paid for hard work."

"Fang Tingshi will talk to the other party, if it doesn't work, don't force it."

Pei Lin looked at Pei Yonghan, who was coughing, and finally did not force him to hand over the cement.

"Pei Xiang is righteous!"

Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The assassins who just said Pei Xiang's righteousness also followed up to say Pei Xiang's righteousness again.

Many people at the scene looked different, but they didn't show it, flattering Pei Lone.

"The role of cement roads can greatly draw in the relationship between states and counties, and can also improve the economy between states and counties, which is indispensable for officials to improve their own political performance."

Fang Yuan continued to introduce the benefits of cement roads.

I believe that after linking it with political performance, they will be excited.

Sure enough, with Fang Yuan's final acceptance, many assassins on the scene were interested.

The prefectures in Hedong are the smallest in Liaozhou, with only three counties, and there are many counties in other prefectures, such as Puzhou and Bingzhou, which have as many as 13 counties.

If there are too many counties, there will naturally be more land, and if there are too many places, it will be difficult for the state government to manage distant counties, and the road is a big problem.

And if this problem can be solved, the state government's management of local counties will be greatly improved, which is what many assassins want to achieve.

As for the economic boost, they are not as eager to control the local county government.

"Fang Tingshi, where are we going next?"

Pei Lin didn't seem to want to say too much in this regard, and took a step.

"Pei Xiang, princess, please come here, let's go to Liaozhou Academy."

"It's rare for you to come, we Liaozhou scholars want to pay homage to your brilliance and be nominated for this year's gold list!"

Fang Yuan walked in front and pointed out a direction.

Actually, you don't need Fang Yuan to walk in front.

There are many state officials guarding around to ensure Pei Lian's safety.

Even Xue Bowu was invited out by Fang Yuan, so he walked together in the clothes of a state official.

"There is also an academy in Liaozhou?!"

Pei Lin was surprised.

He remembered that there were only two colleges in Hedong, Bingzhou and Puzhou.

When did even this small place in Liaozhou already have an academy?

For Liaozhou, Pei Lin actually doesn't know about it, and he didn't choose Liaozhou as a pension inspection point this time.

It's just a matter of stopping by, coming over by the way to take a look, and then eradicating Fang Yuan, the junior who has humiliated him, that's all.

But when he came to Liaozhou, it seemed that many things were in his expectation, and for a while, there was a kind of choice of Liaozhou as a place to retire after the service.

"Thanks to the permission of the Ministry of Officials, Liaozhou has been having an academy for about a month."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

The establishment of colleges in local prefectures and counties must be approved by the ministry.

Fang Yuan had already written to the imperial court when he was preparing for the academy, and he decided to reopen the state academy only after obtaining permission.

"Okay, Liaozhou is good!"

"Are there any other states that have opened academies in addition to Merge and Puzhou?"

Pei Lian's face was a little uncomfortable.

He nodded, his gaze sweeping over the other thorns.

All around him were Shangzhou Thorn History, except for the Bingzhou Thorn History and Puzhou Thorn History, the others were a little ashamed and bowed their heads.

Not to mention the opening of the state capital, they didn't even publicize the imperial examination, they just let it be, and they didn't take the promotion of the imperial examination by the imperial court to heart.

"You guys, you have to learn more from the history of Fang Thorn."

"Responding to the decrees of the imperial court is the good official that the imperial court needs."

Pei Lin said with a disappointed face.

As he spoke, he continued to walk in the direction Fang Yuan had guided.

"Pei Xiang taught yes."

All the thorns bowed their heads in shame, and their faces were a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, how could he feel that Pei Lin didn't really praise himself.

Every time he boasted about his time, he would talk about the history of assassination in other states, didn't he deliberately set himself against them?

However, Fang Yuan couldn't say anything, and secretly thought or thought too much about himself, and walked in front to guide Pei Lin to the state courtyard.

"Dad, Pei Xiang seems to be killing Fang Yuan."

Li Danqiu walked in from the crowd.

Li Tao and Zhang Gongjin have been walking at the back and have almost broken away from the team.

Therefore, Li Danqiu and Li Siwen, who were following in the crowd, were able to approach Li Tao.

"Seems to be the case."

Li Tao frowned and said in a deep voice.

Looking like that, Pei Lin really came to trouble Fang Yuan.

Just said so well at the city gate, it is just a sign of kung fu.

"Do you want to remind Fang Yuan?"

Li Danqiu asked.

"He should know that, you see."

Li Tao said uncertainly.

Although he felt that Fang Yuan was a talent.

But I don't know much about Fang Yuan, and I'm not sure if Fang Yuan has any guesses.

"Okay."

Li Danqiu left.

Li Siwen also left.

"Mao Gong, you have such a good relationship with Fang Tingshi?"

Zhang Gongjin asked in surprise.

He just thought that Li Tao was just optimistic about Fang Yuan, but he didn't expect it to be so good?

Mao Gong is the character of Li Tao, and the two are commensurate with each other to show respect for each other.

"Hongshen, I'm very optimistic about Fang Yuan, it's the kind of peers."

"I drank too much last night, and I pulled him to bow, I don't know if I succeeded in bowing."

Li Tao said.

Speaking of the back, it's a little embarrassing and a little regretful.

Or it's good to have a successful worship, Fang Yuan has a talent that others don't have.

But it's good not to bow down, he still thinks about the question that Zhao Yingcai gave him in repairing the book.

"Hiss!!"

"I see!"

Zhang Gongjin couldn't help but gasp.

He began to face Fang Yuan squarely, not treating Fang Yuan as kindly as he did at the beginning because of Li Tao's face.

The person who can make Li Tao want to bow down a little, such a person is definitely not an ordinary person, and he Zhang Gongjin also has to put on a correct posture to see the other party clearly.

Soon, everyone moved to the state courtyard.

Before I arrived at the state court, I heard the sound of a book coming from the state court.

"Zi said: A gentleman has no food to eat, no shelter to seek peace, is sensitive to things and cautious in words, and has the right way."

Zi said: Eat lightly, drink water, bend the humerus and pillow, and enjoy it. Rich and noble without righteousness"

Everyone was shocked and stopped to look at the state courtyard.

Such a loud sound of reading shows the diligence of the students of the state college.

"Okay, Lang Lang's book is deafening!"

"There is such a state institute in Hedong, and Liaozhou will produce many talents in the future!"

Pei Lin sighed again and again, stepped on the ladder of the state court, and walked into the state court.

At this time, Xiao Ai and other teachers of the state court walked out to greet Pei Lian.

"Master of the State Courtyard, welcome the princess, welcome Pei Xiang!"

Xiao Ai and the others were so excited that their faces turned red.

They have been preparing for a long time, and they have been waiting for a long time.

Finally, the princess and Bae Xiang finally came to their state court.

"Masters are talented!"

"There is hope for the students!"

"Good, good, good job!"

Pei Lin nodded again and again.

He looked very satisfied.

Princess Xiangcheng also symbolically praised a few words.

"Xie Pei Xiang praised!"

"Princess Xie praises!"

Xiao Ai and the others' faces turned even redder.

Pei Lin nodded and followed the voice.

Soon, I saw students reading aloud one by one.

They held the books of the sages in their hands and read them aloud so vigorously that they were red from the neck up.

Fang Yuan looked at it, his brows wrinkled subconsciously, and he felt that the image work was a bit excessive.

Serious people read books, will they use such a loud voice?

Many of the thorns at the scene also frowned slightly, feeling their ears buzzing, but they didn't speak.

"Okay, the state court is doing a good job!"

"Students should be energetic, and they should read loudly!"

"Liaozhou Academy is doing well, and Bingzhou Academy and Puzhou Academy should learn from Liaozhou Academy!"

Pei Lin nodded with satisfaction.

But he didn't go to the class.

Instead, he walked in a direction where there was no sound of books.

"The subordinate obeys!"

And the history of the state and the history of the Puzhou thorn should be.

When I lowered my head, my face was a little unsightly.

Fang Yuan looked at it, his brows furrowed again, and he felt more and more that Pei Lin was uneasy and kind.

The crowd continued to walk, walking from the gate of the state courtyard to the backyard, and back to the door.

Pei Lin and Princess Xiangcheng have been walking in front, occasionally saying that this place is good, there is good, and they are very satisfied.

When he finally returned to the gate of the state courtyard, Pei Lin stopped, looked back at the state courtyard sign, and sighed:

"Liaozhou is really good, it should be the best in Hedong!"

When the words fell, the assassins and governors at the scene were all pale to the side.

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, his face sank, this wave of praise and killing was too obvious, Pei Lin was really uneasy and kind.
