The wind and smoke are clean, and the Tianshan Mountains are colorful. Drifting from the stream, anything. From Jinyang to Taihang Mountain 100 miles, strange mountains and different waters, unique in the world. The water is ethereal, and you can see the bottom. Swimming fish with fine stones, no obstruction to direct viewing.

Wang Gang took Zhang Liao and walked all the way along the Fen River. I kept paying attention to the situation around me, and I was excited for a while, and then I frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Wenyuan, what do you think of the scenery here" The two finally walked to the foot of Taihang Mountain, Wang Gang turned his head and asked Zhang Liaodao.

"Big brother, although the scenery is good, but it can't be eaten, we have been walking for most of the day, let's find something to eat." Zhang Liao was speechless for a while, originally thought that it was a good errand to accompany Wang Gang out to visit the Fen River, but he didn't expect that Wang Gang would leave for two days, and he often forgot to eat, which made Zhang Liao a little unbearable.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat first, we are turning south, there should be a village in front of us," Wang Gang continued to walk forward.

"Big brother, what have we been looking at in Fenhe?"

"I want to excavate the Fen River, which starts from Beishan in Yanmen County in the west, passes through Fenyang, Yangqu, Jinyang, Jiaoyang, Qixian, Jiexiu, passes through Jiexiu Gorge into the east of the river, and finally flows into the Yellow River. I checked the Jinyang Zhi, and once passed through merchant ships, but then the water level was low and the sediment blocked the river, so I gave up. Now merchant ships can only travel to Jiexiu County, and they cannot advance."

"Big brother, this is impossible, even if you dredge the river, but there is only so much water, you see the current flowing water, at most a zhang deep, a hundred small boats can't pass" Zhang Liao picked up a big stone and threw it into the water of the Fen River, causing a splash.

"It is too time-consuming and laborious to transport goods from the Central Plains, or to transport things out of Taiyuan, and it is necessary to detour to Shangdang County, not to mention, and the official road is narrow and the road is difficult to travel, which seriously affects the development of Taiyuan."

"Big brother really wants to dredge the Fen River, this is not something that can be done overnight, and it requires countless money, money and food, even if it is dredged, it still can't be solved, the reason why the water level of the Fen River is too low"

"You can dredge it section by section, which will be easier, and if the water level is too low, you can build a dam in the Jiexiu Gorge to raise the water level to about two zhang, so that Taiyuan will have more 10,000 acres of fertile land," Wang Gang said after pondering for a while.

As Wang Gang, who crossed over in later generations, he had many ways to solve the problem that the water level was too low, and building a barrage dam was undoubtedly the easiest one.

"But we don't have that much money and food."

"The matter of money and food, Wen Yuan doesn't have to worry, I will solve it, as for when the construction will begin, it will be necessary to wait until the market is built before we start to prepare."

"Big brother, you've been so keen on doing this lately, and you don't care about training and fighting" Zhang Liao said with some dissatisfaction, he felt that Wang Gang shouldn't use so much money in these places. After all, now the Huns are eyeing the tiger, and the imperial court doesn't care about the annexation of the state, it should recruit more soldiers, and building weapons and armor is the right way.

Wang Gang pulled Zhang Liao to his side, looked into Zhang Liao's eyes and said.

"Wen Yuan, tell me the truth to my brother, what do you think in your heart?"

Zhang Liao saw Wang Gang's solemn expression, and said with a serious face.

"The elder brother is the general of Zhenbei and the governor of the state. It is a feudal official who guards one side, and he should be strong and drive the Xiongnu out of the state as soon as possible."

"And then," Wang Gang asked.

And then ...... And then. Zhang Liao stammered a little, he never thought about what would happen after the Xiongnu were driven out of the state.

"Does Wen Yuan know why the imperial court appointed me as the pastor of the state?" asked Wang Gang again.

"Because my brother can fight, and there are Huns in the state," Zhang Liao said.

"You are only half right, because there are Huns in Bingzhou, so if there are no Huns in Bingzhou, will I still be a pastor in Bingzhou?" asked Wang Gang leisurely.

Zhang Liao suddenly fell into deep thought, as if he understood what Wang Gang meant.

"I am neither from a big family, nor can I be trusted by the emperor, why should I be a pastor of the state, and it is not the Xiongnu attacking the state, no one wants to take this mess. And I, Wang Gang, am willing to take it, except for the slightest opportunity now, at other times, it is more difficult to become a state pastor than to ascend to the sky."

Zhang Liao also instantly understood that the eldest brother he had always admired did not have the appearance of scenery in Luoyang, and he was excluded everywhere.

"Wen Yuan, do you know now? A general Anton is not a fart in He Jin's eyes, but he is different."

"Big brother, I understand, I listen to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will do whatever he says" Zhang Liao's eyes were red.

"Wen Yuan, you and I hit it off at first sight, and we became brothers, I don't hide some things from you, it won't take a few years in this world, there will be chaos, and if you want to protect yourself in troubled times, you must have the right to be a soldier."

"Is there really a big chaos in this world, like the Yellow Turban Uprising?" asked Zhang Liao with some uncertainty.

"It's more chaotic than the Yellow Turban Uprising, but there are some things that can't be done too obviously, such as recruiting troops and buying horses, if we recruit soldiers on a large scale now, it will only make the court distrust us, maybe they will be suspicious, and try their best to transfer me away, they just want us to resist the Huns, and they don't want to watch us become bigger, including Your Majesty today."

"If you don't recruit soldiers, the Huns will attack next year, what should we do?"

"The Xiongnu will attack next year, but the possibility of a large-scale attack is not great, after all, the Xiongnu have not yet torn their faces with the Han Dynasty, they have already occupied Wuyuan County, they should be more convergent, we must take this opportunity to develop our own strength"

"Just now the eldest brother said that you can't recruit soldiers, so how can you increase your strength" Zhang Liao suddenly fell into confusion.

"All said that for my brother, I want to dredge Fenshui, open trade, and hide wealth from the people. I am also going to build a Zhenbei General's Mansion on the edge of Fenshui, and I am building some waterfront wilderness," Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Big brother is so big in construction, won't he be impeached," Zhang Liao asked.

"As long as I can resist the Huns, it is useless for others to impeach. On the contrary, I don't need to be impeached by others, and I can't do it for long as a state pastor," Wang Gang patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder.

Wang Gang has already made a plan, this year is the third year of Zhongping, and at most another three years. Liu Hong died and was succeeded by a new emperor. The world will be in chaos. That's when it's time for him to be strong.

As for the construction of large-scale construction, it is not without benefits, at least it can stimulate the local economy, only by letting the people move, they can make money, building a market is not obvious, at least some of the people have made a lot of money, only when the money circulates, the economy will be better, this truth, Wang Gang naturally knows.

"Let's go, let's go back, it's pretty much the same here. Go back and see how the market is built," Wang Gang turned to Zhang Liao with a bitter face and said.

"Hmm" Zhang Liao agreed, silently took out a pancake from his bag that was harder than a stone and gnawed it.

After another two days, Wang Gang and the others returned to the market.
