The three counties in Liaodong and the counties in western Liaoning are now completely connected by broad avenues. This east-west traffic artery built by Guo Quan passes through Panshan Mountain, emerges from Cuiping Mountain, and then extends into the distance. The cement-hardened road, which is about six meters wide, carries the economic connection between the two places. Liaodong's specialties, grains, and rich mineral deposits are now being continuously transported into the inland through this road. In recent years, Liaodong has been developing rapidly. Gao Yuan once said before that the Donghu people lived a poor life sitting on the treasure mountain. Now that this treasure land has fallen into his hands, he will naturally have to give full play to his role. Its richness will become a booster for the advancement of the Han Dynasty. Because of the convenience of the road now, Gao Yuan had already appeared in Helin in less than ten days. Compared with previous years, Helin has undergone tremendous changes. This former capital of the Donghu people was originally the capital of Liaodong. The political and economic center is still the largest city among the three counties in Liaodong. After the re-planning, the city was clean and tidy. Stimulated by the policies of the Han Dynasty, countless businessmen and gold diggers poured into this city that was formerly known as a barbarian land. Massive capital investment and a large influx of people made the city Lin has developed rapidly. Now Helin has a permanent population of more than 100,000, which is not inferior to other counties and cities in the mainland. The visit of King Gao Yuan of the Han Dynasty is naturally one of the biggest things for He Lin now. This is Gao Yuan's first visit after conquering Donghu. Everyone from top to bottom regards this visit of King Han as an opportunity for He Lin to take off again. Since half a month ago, He Lin had made preparations to welcome the arrival of the King of Han. The city had been cleaned inside and out, and every shop, business inn and even the signboards in the city had been replaced with brand new ones. Dongdu Sun Xiao, the Protector of the Mansion, also arrived at Helin from Dayan County several days in advance, ready to welcome Gao Yuan. "Back to the Great Protectorate, the king got into the car and drove to Lin City, which is still ten miles away." Scouts kept running from afar, reporting back to Sun Xiao who was standing at the gate of the city. "Dadu protector. Don't we really want to go forward to greet him?" Mao Dewang, the governor of Liaolin County, said somewhat uneasily. "No, you may be a little unclear about the king's temper. You really need to greet him with great fanfare, and even create some scenes where thousands of people crowd the streets to welcome him. The king may even lose his temper. It's very good now, and the officials can go about their business. , the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is actually what the king wants to see most. Besides, haven't you done a lot of preparations to welcome the king? After I came, I saw that it was cleaner than when I came last time. Too much!" Sun Xiao laughed. Mao Dewang laughed a few times. The last time Sun Xiao came over, He Lin was really dirty. "In the past two years since you have been the county governor, Liaoning County has developed rapidly, and you are well-versed in politics and people. The king thinks highly of you." Sun Xiaodao: "This time you have the opportunity, you must take advantage of it. I know. The political affairs of the Han Dynasty are usually managed by the Zhengshi Hall. There are not many special opportunities. There are not many times when the county guards want to see the king. The king thinks that if he meets these county guards too much, he will not go to the Zhengshi Hall. "The king's thoughts are really hard for us ministers to understand. Maybe our wisdom can't keep up with the king's wisdom?" Mao Dewang said in a low voice. A big official, in the past. If he returns to the capital to report on his duties, he will definitely have to meet the king, but in the Han Dynasty, it is really difficult for ordinary county guards to meet the king. Even those old county guards who followed the king from poverty to prosperity would receive family banquets from the king when they arrived in Jicheng, but the king usually said nothing about their governance. All kinds of things made Mao Dewang think that the king of Han Dynasty was really incompatible with the king he knew. Mao Dewang looked back at the sparse welcoming crowd behind him. I still felt a little uneasy. "Coming, coming!" Someone among the welcoming crowd behind him shouted excitedly. The two people who were talking turned their heads and saw the flag in the distance approaching quickly. It was just the vanguard of the escort. Wu Ya dismounted from his horse, strode up to Sun Xiao, and gave a military salute: "Wu Ya has met Sun Duhu and Governor Mao. He was ordered to arrive first to take over the defense and security work of Helin City. Please also invite two "Of course, of course." Mao Dewang nodded repeatedly and called back to the two men, "General Wu, one of them is Feng Dong, the security commander of Helin City, and the other is the police chief. Helin Defense has always been responsible for this. These two people are responsible." "Thank you, both of you!" Wu Ya nodded to the two of them. "General Wu, please." A thousand Guards soldiers following Wu Ya as the vanguard quickly entered the city and took over various key passes and the area where Gao Yuan would be stationed. This place is no different from Fufeng City. After all, it has only been a few years since it was naturalized as a Han Dynasty. , there are so many people of all kinds, and so many peopleNaturally, they dare not be careless at all. After about another stick of incense, Gao Yuan's large group of troops appeared at the foot of the city. Pushing open the car door, Gao Yuan jumped out of the carriage, strode up to Sun Xiao, and grabbed Sun Xiao who was about to salute, "Old brother, why are you doing so many things? Sun Xiao, we haven't been together for almost two years." Have we met? The last time we met was when we agreed to establish the Third Military Region. We haven¡¯t seen each other for two years, but you have gained weight. Look at your fat belly. If you didn¡¯t tell others, it would be hard for others to believe that you had led troops to fight for many years!¡± Staring at Sun Xiao's obviously protruding belly, Gao Yuan laughed and patted his chest proudly, "Look at me, I still have eight-pack abs and a good figure." "How can I compare to the king? "Compared?" Sun Xiao said with a smile: "In these years, I have been busy with paperwork and approved endless official documents all day long. Many times, I don't have enough food and water, or I eat too much and don't gain weight. How can it be weird! " "Cao Lian'er doesn't care about you. Your body is your capital, especially those of us who came down from the battlefield. If we don't take care of it carefully, we might not be able to survive with you one day. " Gao Yuan patted Sun Xiao on the shoulder, "Didn't Lian'er have any problems? I heard that you have had three babies in five years. You are very efficient! Over in Dayan County, Lian'er dragged three boys with her, so I asked her to wait in Dayan City to pick her up." Sun Xiao said with a smile. "She, she is only thinking about the three boys now. She is too lazy to care whether I live or die!" Both of them laughed. When a woman has a child, she will indeed shift most of her thoughts to the child. . Mao Dewang looked at the warm relationship between Sun Xiao and the king with some envy. Of course, he also knew that he could not compare with Sun Xiao at all. He was an old subordinate and brother of the king, and it was not just a superior-subordinate relationship. Like Sun Xiao, Xiao's brother-in-law Cao Tianci is the king's personal disciple. Sun Xiao's wife was once the princess's personal maid. As for the old Cao family, it is now one of the top famous families in the Han Dynasty. Cao Tiancheng abandoned politics and went into business, and now Cao's carriage business , is one of the top merchants. "Liaoning County Governor Mao Dewang has met the king." After Gao Yuan and Sun Xiao exchanged greetings, his eyes turned to Mao Dewang. Mao Dewang quickly handed over his hand as a gift. Speaking of which, this was the second time he met the king. The first time was to take office, but it was just a routine matter. , more than a dozen feudal officials bid farewell to the king. But this time it was the second time and the first time he met the King of Han at close range. "Governor Mao, you have done a great job in Liaoning County. The rapid development of Liaoning County in recent years is inseparable from your contribution." Gao Yuan raised his head and looked at Helin City today, "Look, Sun Xiao, At that time, when we conquered this place, it could be compared with one of our county towns at that time. But it is different now. Many counties and towns in the mainland cannot compare with it, right? " "No, in recent years, a large number of people have died. With the influx of funds, the land of Liaodong is full of treasures. With money and people, if it still cannot develop, is there any justice?" Sun Xiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let's hurry up. Come into the city, otherwise the roads will be blocked by people who want to see the king. Governor Mao has carefully prepared a banquet in the governor's house, and the people who come to accompany him are all local celebrities. " "Well, okay, okay. "Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Of course I want to see it. The great development of Liaoning County is due to Governor Mao, and they are also responsible! By the way, Ke Yuanshan is still here, right? The king is waiting for him at the government office. Councilor Ke is now preparing to build a medical university in Helin to pass on his medical skills to future generations. Many big businessmen are willing to invest money in it. Now he is busy with this. ." Mao Dewang said. "This is good." Gao Yuan said happily: "Not long after the decree allowing private capital to open universities was issued, Ke Yuanshan took action unexpectedly. His medical skills are outstanding. Even Minister Qiu was full of praise. I was worried about his secret skills before. Zizhen, now that he is willing to open a school, your local government must give strong support. We are not short of weapons and troops, but we are short of high-level doctors! Once this school is set up, it will be able to train a lot of doctors for your local area every year. , This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Governor Mao, your Liaoning County is the first. Looking back, let the political hall give you a good commendation. The Ministry of Finance should also show its support to the central government. "Hearing this, Mao Dewang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty. We don't lack herbs here, but we do lack doctors. It would be great if the Ministry of Finance can provide support. I will report to the Ministry of Finance immediately. " Seeing Mao Dewang beaming with joy, Sun Xiao joked on the side: "Governor Mao, you have to hurry up. Minister Wang of the Ministry of Finance still has a special sum that has not been disbursed. If it is later, there will be nothing. With Minister Wang¡¯s temper, he won¡¯t even care about the King¡¯s greetings when the time comes.Account. Gao Yuan laughed, "Indeed, it was a little more difficult for that iron cock to pluck out a hair on his head." "(~^~)
