Liu Yan led his troops to march on the official road, although it was already the beginning of March at this time, the weather was still a little cold, the icy north wind was blowing, and the iron armor on the soldiers was more like ice and iron, and it was cold to the heart.

But let the cold wind rage, Liu Yan and his entourage only controlled the horses and marched steadily, and none of the soldiers were in an untidy formation because of the cold. Only Wang Yunhe was forcibly wrapped in thick cotton clothes and fur fur by Liu Yan and made to sit in a carriage with a shed to hurry.

When the standard-bearers of the first few cavalry posts rode their horses first, followed by the spear flags of each team, plus Liu Yan's banner, more than a dozen bright red and yellow flags were just hunting and fluttering in the cold wind.

A part of the night is already far away, and next to Liu Yan, Miao Shao led the remaining night and guard the horse at the outpost beside Liu Yan.

After the previous extermination of the bandits, Liu Yan ordered each outpost to promote the original flag chief to a small flag officer, and still led a banner of men, and several general flag officers still led each sentry of men. Only the outpost led by Wang Yue is still in accordance with the original system, and the general banners of all departments will not be promoted for the time being.

Liu Yan led the soldiers all the way to the gallop, when the Dapan Fort Army practiced on weekdays, it paid great attention to the exercise of physical strength, and the troops marched quickly, and after a short time on the road, Wangjiazhuang appeared in front of everyone.

When Liu Yan and the others arrived in front of the south gate of Wangjiazhuang, the avenue was already full of officials from the fort who came to greet them.

Several chief flag officers, small flag officers, and large and small officials in the fort all stood in the cold wind to greet them at this time. At the front of the crowd, it was Yue Ming, who was in charge of money and grain in Wangjiazhuang, as the chief flag officer, Yue Ming was the oldest chief flag officer in Wangjiazhuang, and he was deeply respected by Wang Weizhen, and he originally hoped to take over Wang Weizhen's class, but now his hope has been disappointed, and he looked a little dejected when he stood there.

Yue Ming stood there without energy, which didn't mean that the people behind him didn't speak. Before Liu Yan and his troops arrived, these chief flag officers and officials were still stomping their feet and hands, while talking softly, waiting for the arrival of the new management officer Liu Yan.

However, the attitude of these officials of Wangjiazhuang towards Liu Yan is also intriguing, and everyone just talks about Liu Yan's various deeds in a low voice, as if it is a conversation after dinner. Several of them were still whispering, not knowing how Liu Yan would govern all parts of Wangjiazhuang after he took office.

At this time, Liu Yan led the crowd to finally arrive at Wangjiazhuang, everyone saw the smoke and dust rolling on the official road, the flag was displayed, Liu Yan and his party of more than 300 people had arrived at the front, led by Yue Ming, everyone greeted them.

When Liu Yan and his entourage arrived in front of everyone, Yue Ming and the others were all taken aback, especially the several chief flag officers in the fort.

Most of Liu Yan's more than 300 people were wearing iron armor, and they were full of sharpness, they exhaled white breath in their mouths, but they just stood proudly in place, and even the war horses under some soldiers couldn't stop snorting. These soldiers and horses can take out any of them, and they are all comparable to the families under the command of the thousands of households in front of Naxia River Village.

Seeing such a military appearance, many people took a breath of cold air, with this capital, no wonder Liu Yan can serve as the officer of Wangjiazhuang's management team, such a strength, even Zhang Hailin, the defense officer of the Qianqian Household in Xiahezhai, can't compare!

It's just that everyone couldn't imagine that Liu Yan, as a small armor commander of Dapan Fort, how did he conjure up these strong soldiers and horses?

The business between Wang Weizhen and Liu Yan, everyone in Wangjiazhuang also knows a little, but everyone thinks that the business is mainly run by Wang Weizhen, and Liu Yan is just giving Wang Weizhen a hand, and he doesn't know that Liu Yan is actually the "gold master" behind the scenes, so naturally he can't understand where Liu Yan got the money to build such an army.

Yue Ming also stared at Liu Yan's soldiers and horses, with a complicated expression on his face, maybe he couldn't serve as a team officer, just because he didn't have these soldiers and horses in his hands.

At this time, Liu Yan dismounted, surrounded by Miao Shao, Xu Ming and several small flag officials, and strode towards everyone.

Led by Yue Ming, everyone stepped forward to greet them.

Yue Ming stepped forward and saluted and said, "My lord has worked hard from afar, and the lower officials have been waiting here for a long time. ”

He bowed to Liu Yan twice, and the rest of the people also stepped forward to salute together, and Liu Yan bowed slightly.

Looking at Liu Yan, Yue Ming's heart was very unpleasant, once upon a time, Liu Yan had to pay him an official salute, but he didn't expect that not long after, he would have to salute Liu Yan, this is really thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

Looking at Liu Yan's young and high-spirited face, Yue Ming's heart was even more uncomfortable, once upon a time, the position of this team officer was originally his own, and he was about to get it when he saw it, but he lost it again, and he made people worse.

Seeing that Yue Ming in front of him was saluting himself, Liu Yan also had some sympathy, perhaps because he was hit. Yue Ming's original tall and burly figure had already bent a little, the smell of wind and frost on his face had become stronger, and his originally sharp eyes had dimmed a lot.

However, sympathy is sympathy, of course Liu Yan will not send his official to him, so he has to sympathize mentally.

After Yue Ming stepped forward to give a salute, he then introduced Liu Yan to everyone in the fort, several chief flag officials and officials.

Wang Jiazhuang is not Yue Ming, and now there are two chief flag officers, one of them is named Liu Yu, this person is tall and fat, and his skin is very white, at this time he just stepped forward to meet with a smile on his face, Liu Yan said a few words to him cordially, but he was a little disgusted with this person, and felt that this Liu Yu was somewhat hypocritical, so he was a little wary in his heart.

There is also a chief flag officer named Sun Mingyuan, who also left a deep impression on Liu Yan. This person is in his thirties, he is rough-looking, according to Yue Ming, this person's temper is very short-tempered, no one dares to provoke him in Wangjiazhuang on weekdays, even Wang Weizhen is unwilling to pay too much attention to this person.

Liu Yan just bowed his head slightly, and didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, such a person can't afford to make any big waves under his hands, if this Sun Mingyuan dares to make trouble in his own hands, Liu Yan doesn't mind disposing of it with thunderous means.

In addition, there are several scribes in the official hall of 100 households.

The first official was named Feng Changyi, who was about forty-five or six years old, and his name was Jingxing, and he managed all clerical affairs inside and outside Wangjiazhuang.

According to Yue Ming's introduction, this Feng Changyi is not an ordinary person, and he is very prestigious in Wangjiazhuang. This person is very knowledgeable, and there are a lot of scholars around him on weekdays. Of course, there are not many real scholars inside and outside Wangjiazhuang, and the people around Feng Changyi are not so much scholars, but more precisely, they have studied private school for a few days and know a few words.

However, Yue Ming said something, and Liu Yan also understood, this Feng Changyi has a high prestige and talent in Wangjiazhuang, and he is a capable general if he uses it well, and if he doesn't use it well, it will be a trouble for his henchmen!

At this time, there were four scribes gathered around Feng Changyi, and several of them, like Feng Changyi, were all considerate of Liu Yanli, but they didn't see much respect on their faces. Some are just the arrogance of scholars, and it seems that Liu Yan is just a reckless martial artist.

Liu Yan also frowned slightly in this regard, could it be that when Wang Weizhen was here, these scribes were so arrogant? Or do these scribes simply not understand the current situation?

"Looks like we're going to have to find a chance to beat these nerds so that the scholars don't make a mistake!"

Although Liu Yan thought so in his heart, he had a smile on his face, and exchanged a few words with all of them one by one, Feng Changyi and the others couldn't see anything abnormal in Liu Yan's expression at all.

These officers and officials in the fort seem to be able to use them for the time being, after all, Liu Yan's subordinates are very short of people now, if these people can still be used and can win them over, then Liu Yan will try his best to win them over, provided that these people are interested and can't see the situation clearly.

Once someone does not obey the order and disrupts Liu Yan's development layout, then there is no need for such a person to exist in Wangjiazhuang.

At this time, Yue Ming and the others saw Liu Yan's kind expression, and everyone was relieved, it seemed that the new manager was still easy to get along with.

Then Yue Ming said to Liu Yan: "My lord, it's cold outside the fort, let's go into the fort, the hundred official halls have been cleaned up." ”

Liu Yan nodded, and everyone entered the castle together. Miao Shao and Xu Ming also led a large group of men and horses into Wangjiazhuang.

Everyone entered the castle from the south gate, Liu Yance stepped on the street, and sighed in his heart, this is the first time he has looked at everything in the castle with the eyes of his master, and this feeling is different. Thinking about it for more than a year, I have been to Wangjiazhuang countless times, but none of them can have such a mood today, it is really a trick.

Compared with Dapanbao, Wangjiazhuang is indeed a lot more lively, although the population is not more than Dapanbao, but it is better than the buildings and shops along the street a lot, and the flow of people is also a little more. However, there is one thing that Dapanbao does not have in Wangjiazhuang, that is, that kind of neatness and vitality.

Although the military households of Dapan Fort are not very rich, but everyone is full of vitality, there is an aura of hope for the future life in their eyes, everyone has their own life goals, and all parts of the fort are clean and tidy, living in it is enough to make people feel happy.

On the other hand, in Wangjiazhuang, the streets are dilapidated and dirty, the houses are low and dilapidated, there is garbage everywhere, and children in poor clothes run around. And those adults, men, women, and children, were all ragged and numb, as if they had been completely lost in life under the weight of poverty.

Looking at these military households, Liu Yan felt heavy, he came to Wangjiazhuang before, but he just hurried by as a passerby, and he didn't take many things to heart. Now that he has become the officer of the Wangjiazhuang management team, these people have become soldiers and civilians under his rule, can he change their lives and turn their hearts into use?

Liu Yan immediately strengthened his confidence: "It must be possible, as long as I am given time, Wangjiazhuang will be the second Dapanbao, and the soldiers and soldiers under my command will definitely be able to live a better life and change their original tragic fate!" ”

The people rode their horses, but they went inward.

The 100 official halls are located on the street in front, and several main streets are paved with bluestone slabs, but they are in disrepair and full of potholes.

Along the way, some alleys appeared on both sides of the street from time to time, and when they saw Liu Yan's ironclad army coming, many soldiers and civilians stood next to them in surprise and fear, just looking at Liu Yan and others. Some merchants also pushed the door one after another, looking at this different army on the street.

Seeing their awe-inspiring eyes, Miao Shao, Xu Ming and others were all triumphant, and they would be the owners of Wangjiazhuang in the future. A Dapanbao sergeant is also proud, from Dapanbao to Wangjiazhuang, it is a big place, everyone will be straight when they march, and the iron hooves are just rumbling past, leaving behind a piece of amazement.

Yue Ming rode beside Liu Yan, pointing out the buildings in the fort for Liu Yan from time to time, and Liu Yan couldn't help nodding.

Soon, everyone came to the door of the Hundred Household Official Hall.
