Wang Gang finished handling government affairs and returned to the small courtyard of the Zhang family.

"Wenyuan, why don't you go in"

"The eldest brother is not here, it is inconvenient for us to go to meet Madame," Zhang Liao said with some embarrassment.

"You," Wang Gang patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder.

"Li Kan, the county of Yanmen, meet the state pastor," Li Kan said with a deep salute.

"Li Juncheng doesn't have to be polite, I am also from the royal family of Mayi," Wang Gang smiled and blinked.

Zhou Mu said with a smile, "Li Kan grew up in Mayi since he was a child, and he has never seen Wang Gang. Naturally, I knew that Wang Gang was joking.

"Okay then, let's go inside and talk" After Wang Gang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to push open the courtyard door and walked towards the study.

The two women hid under the windowsill of the west room and looked secretly. Originally, I wanted to tease Wang Gang again, but I found that Wang Gang had brought guests, so I gave up.

The three of them sat down in the study, but when they saw Zhang Yue'er walking in with tea, Zhang Liao hurriedly got up in fright. Li Kan next to him reacted a little slower and also stood up. They didn't dare to sit there and wait for Zhang Yue'er to pour tea.

"Zhang Liao, Li Kan meets Madame" The two bowed to Zhang Yue'er.

"The two adults don't need to be polite, I also only returned to Jinyang today, I didn't have time to prepare, I neglected the two" Zhang Yue'er smiled lightly, put the tea on the low table, and turned around to prepare to go out. was stopped by Wang Gang.

"Yue'er, let me tell you. This Zhang Liao is my sworn brother, when I am not there, you can go directly to him if you have anything"

looked at Zhang Liao again and glared at him and said.

"Don't call you Mrs. in the future, just call your sister-in-law. Do you see what I mean?"

"Brother understands," Zhang Liao finished speaking, and saluted Zhang Yue'er again.

"Zhang Liao has seen his sister-in-law"

Zhang Yue'er naturally knew Zhang Liao, and she also knew about Wang Gang and Zhang Liao's marriage. But he couldn't figure out for a while, why Wang Gang had to call Zhang Liao his sister-in-law, and he had to do it in front of outsiders. But now is not the time to think about this, and hurriedly said in return.

"Uncle is polite"

After Zhang Yue'er left, Zhang Liao asked in a low voice.

"Then the two ladies in Luoyang also call sister-in-law?"

"Then it's up to you"

Zhang Liao suddenly understood that this was Wang Gang's deliberate doing, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang represented the military of Bingzhou to a certain extent. Zhang Yue'er is a native of Bingzhou, so connecting the two more closely is also a kind of support for Zhang Yue'er. After all, the identity of the county lord is a relative of the emperor, and Cai Yan has a large number of students and scholars behind him.

"I snubbed Li Juncheng, I don't know what Li Juncheng came to say," Wang Gang said with a smile.

"I came here to report to the state pastor about the government affairs of Yanmen, and 100,000 loads of grain have been transported and handed over to Song Cheng," Li Kan said.

"That's really grateful to Li Juncheng, but it has helped Taiyuan County a lot. I will ask Song to pay 200 yuan per bucket of rice, convert it into 20 million yuan, and hand it over to Jun Cheng."

Li Kan was suddenly a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. After two resignations, seeing Wang Gang's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to give up. Immediately, he reported some of the situation in Yanmen County to Wang Gang.

Wang Gang listened very carefully, and raised some key questions from time to time, and Li Kan was able to answer them one by one.

Zhang Liao brought Li Kan to find him, Wang Gang naturally understood what it meant, now that Zhang Liao was named the general of the Huns, the affairs of Yanmen County naturally had to be let go, so who would take over Zhang Liao's position and succeed the Taishou of Yanmen County. Wang Gang's attitude is very important.

But now Wang Gang doesn't want to be in such a hurry to solve the problem of Yanmen County, if he keeps hanging like this, it will not attract the attention of others, if he writes to the court and asks Li Kan to be the Taishou of Yanmen County, he is afraid that it will cause extraneous branches and increase trouble.

"I understand the intention of the two of you, but now is not the time to solve the Yanmen problem. Li Juncheng temporarily handled the government affairs of Yanmen County, "Wang Gang directly picked out the matter.

"It's the state pastor," Li Kan said.

"I plan to rebuild the official road from Yanmen County to Jinyang, and also build an official road from Dai County to Beishan, preferably to the edge of Fenshui. What do you think?" asked Wang Gang.

"It is naturally a good thing to rebuild the official road, although Yanmen has been rich in the past two years, but to build two official roads, there is still some reluctance" Li Kan said.

"How much grain does the county government have," Wang Gang asked.

"More than 40 million yuan of money, 60,000 quintals of grain"

"That should be almost enough, if it's not enough, I'm trying to find a way to transfer some of the past, and after you go back, I'll start arranging, building an official road can not only promote trade, but also quickly transfer soldiers to Yanmen." In this way, the safety of Yanmen County can be guaranteed," Wang Gang said solemnly.

Li Kan and Zhang Liao glanced at each other and nodded.

"Wen Yuan, why did you separate the taxes of Yanmen Pass from the taxes of Yanmen County," Wang Gang asked casually.

"The little brother wants to ...... Save some money just in case. Moreover, Yanmen Pass has always been under the jurisdiction of Zhonglang General. There is no affiliation with Yanmen County" Zhang Liao glanced at Wang Gang a little nervously, he didn't know what he had done wrong.

"What you said also makes sense, have you been to the Zhonglang General's Mansion?"

"My little brother went there a few days ago, and they were all generals left by Ding Tingshi, so I don't know where to start."

"It's easy to get started, and if you make them feel that it's good to follow you, they'll naturally turn around and join you. You have to remember that cleaning and suppressing is not the best policy, if you bring 10,000 troops now, they naturally don't dare to say anything, but if your army is gone, will they still be afraid of you, so it is the key to be careful" Wang Gang said earnestly.

Zhang Liao was very outstanding in training troops and leading troops to fight, but he was not satisfactory in terms of intrigues.

"Please also ask my eldest brother to teach me"

"The Hun Zhonglang General, a total of how many passes are under his jurisdiction, and how many subordinate Cao officials" Wang Gang asked, he was not very clear about some details of the Hun Zhonglang General.

"Nominally, it has jurisdiction over six passes, Yanmen Pass in Yanmen County, Bauhinia Pass in Shangdang County, Shiling Pass in Taiyuan County, Yangguan in Shangjun County, Yumen Pass in Xihe County, and Jiayuguan in Jiuquan County. In fact, only Yanmen Pass and Shiling Pass are still under actual control, and the others are not. Protect the Huns in the general's office. There is mainly a deputy lieutenant general Wu Yong, lieutenants Jiang Yi and Ge Guang. There is also a Sima stationed in Shiling Pass, called Ma Xi, engaged in Wang Xiu, and Peng Shi Xu Mai"

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he looked at Wang Gang with a look of hope. In the past, Zhang Liao was the captain of the Huns, which was mainly a military general, but now he is a general who protects the Huns, between a military general and a civilian official, and there is some pressure on Zhang Liao.

Wang Gang pondered for a while and said.

"I am going to repair the passes of the annexed state and strengthen the city walls. Build arrow towers, beacons, watchtowers. Some passes had to build urn cities, especially Shiling Pass and Yanmen Pass, all of which were directly facing the Xiongnu. The passes in other counties can be eased a little, and the Shiling Pass must be repaired before the year. If you pass on my order, the state and county will allocate a part of the people's husbands and money and grain to you, and you will be responsible for supervising the construction, and they want to get benefits, so they naturally want to be close to you, and you can take advantage of this opportunity to win people's hearts."

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this, and then the two said goodbye and left.
