On the spacious and straight road, an army escorted several carriages moving forward slowly. Gaoyuan leaned comfortably in the carriage, stretched out his feet, and was admiring the scenery outside through the open curtains. On both sides of the road, crops that are growing very well stretch out endlessly. Even if they have nothing to do, restless farmers will patrol the fields with hoes, pull a few weeds, hoe the fields, or watch the fields full of The land of harvest hope is happy for a while. From time to time, he would see villages one after another. The villages were always quiet. Children were chasing and playing, chasing chickens and teasing dogs. The cheerful laughter would always reach Gao Yuan's ears from time to time. He was very satisfied. Life is what it should be like. Living and working in peace and contentment is what ordinary people pursue, and what I pursue in this life is to enable all the people under my rule to live such a life, with something to rely on when they are old and someone to support them when they are young. Within the territory of the Han Dynasty, I have almost completed this goal. Of course, the territory of the Han Dynasty will continue to expand, and I will continue to work hard to achieve this goal throughout my life. Seeing the happiness of these people, Gao Yuan felt that this was his own happiness. At the other end of the carriage, Cao Tianci was sitting cross-legged on the floor, with his hands tied and his head lowered, with a look of shame on his face. From time to time, he raised his head and secretly glanced at Gao Yuan's face, but there was no sign of any reaction to this matter on Gao Yuan's always cheerful face. After a moment, Gao Yuan withdrew his gaze, glanced at Cao Tianci in the corner, and asked lightly: "That's it?" "Yes. My father sent Cao Wending to find me, told me their plan, and then let this general Don't report the matter to the king right away, wait until the matter is over before reporting it to the king. Later, Wu Tianjiao and Mei Su also sent people to find me, and they also talked about this matter. I think it is nothing. It's a big deal, so I promised them to delay it for a while. But after thinking about it again and again, I still felt uneasy. So" Gao Yuan sneered: "So you finally decided to report this to me. But ten days have passed since this incident happened. Now in Dayan County, the things that Cao Wen decided to help should have been completed, right? " Cao Tianci lowered his head and said nothing. "What are you afraid of, Lao Cao? I'm worried about me because your Cao family is so proud of their officialdom now. They are invincible in the shopping malls, and their influence in the political and business circles is boundless. All the birds they want will fly away. A good bow is hidden, a cunning rabbit dies, and a lackey is gone. "Chen, are you afraid that I will deal with you?" Gao Yuan said coldly. "No, that's not the case." Cao Tianci suddenly panicked, shaking his hands wildly, and his face turned red: "That Cao Wending just said that the Cao family's wealth has increased too fast and has formed a monopoly in the transportation industry. This is not the wealth of the country. The Cao family has become a leader and will inevitably encounter jealousy and suppression from all parties. Once something happens, it will be difficult for the king. My father thinks that what he said is reasonable, because the king has said before. Competition leads to progress. Therefore, Cao decided to diversify his investment and gradually reduce his share of the domestic transportation market, so that the domestic transportation industry can flourish. "What Lao Cao said is correct," Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci. , "That's not what I'm angry about. Tianci, you have to understand that first of all, you are the police minister of the Han Dynasty and the director of the National Security Bureau. Secondly, you are the son of the Cao family." "My subordinates know that they are wrong. This matter has never happened since the beginning. From the beginning, I should report it to the king immediately, and should not delay it for a few days." Cao Ci lowered his head. "The Cao family's economic impact on my big man is not just a little or two. This major decision they made will have an impact on many industries in the country. The Cao family is not a small workshop. What they do has already related to the national economy. Based on this, you should report to me immediately." Gao Yuan looked at Cao Tianci, "I hope this is the first and last time, Tianci, if this happens again, you will not be able to sit in this seat." Cao Tianci broke into a cold sweat, "Disciple understands." Gao Yuan snorted twice, "Actually, I am happy to see the results of what they did. It does not cost the country a penny, but in the end it is possible to reap huge results. This is actually a good thing. This Cao Wending is a talented person. You said he is a top student in the Department of Computer Science who graduated from Jicheng Comprehensive University? " "Yes, in the Department of Computer Science back then, this person was the top candidate in the graduation assessment. Xiang Du was number one, and his father came to see him personally, promising him a high salary and a high position, and lured him into the Cao family. Therefore, he refused the recruitment of the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance. "Cao Tianci said: "I will check this person's details. It must be clear and clear." "Lao Cao, this traitor, actually poached my talents." Gao Yuan snorted: "After returning to Jicheng, I will slowly settle the score with him." Hearing Gao Yuan's tone, Cao Yuan said. Tianci finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the king was no longer prepared to hold him responsible for concealing this matter. "God-given." I heardCao Tianci hurriedly agreed to the call from afar. "Please pay more attention to this Cao Wending. This person helped your father make this big move. I think your father will definitely send him to take charge of this matter in the future. I want to know the whole process of how he did this. If he can really Taking advantage of this matter to control Wang Jian's economic lifeline in the Qin Dynasty for several years, hey, this is a great achievement. This person also has talents." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Now we have a lot of talents, including Fang Shu. , I was so startled that Cao Wending popped up again. Ha, there is a successor to the Han Dynasty. If they can keep doing this, the Han Dynasty will not be short of talents for the first assistant in the future! " Fang Shu is fine, he is in the Han Dynasty now! He has already emerged in the political arena. Within a few years, he completed the triple jump in the political arena and has now become the governor of Liaoning County. However, the king's high opinion of Cao Wending was far beyond Cao Tianci's expectation. "No matter how good he does, he will be just a businessman in the future. How can he be the chief assistant?" Cao Tianci asked nagging. "Why do you think that our big man will not choose someone with great achievements in business to be the chief minister in the future?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile, "We'll see! Everything is possible." Horse hooves outside After the sound, He Weiyuan's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, we are about to enter Jinyang. The commander of the First Military Region Xu Yuan and the Jinyang County Sheriff are leading the civil and military officials at the border to welcome them. Sentries and detectives have been sent. We got in touch." Gao Yuan stuck his head out of the window and said with a smile: "This Xu Yuan is pretty good at formalism. He leads hundreds of civil and military officials to meet hundreds of realms. It's amazing. This place is far away from his first place. The military headquarters is still a hundred and eighty miles away!" "This is Commander Xu's respect for the king!" He Weiyuan said with a smile. "The general estimates that even if the king reprimands him, he will be happy in his heart." Gao Yuan laughed, "Speed ??up, Xu Yuan has brought all the civil and military officials here, then the current First Military Region and Shanxi Isn¡¯t Yang County Governor¡¯s Mansion a mere empty show? Let¡¯s meet with them quickly so that those officials can return to their posts as soon as possible. If something goes wrong, I will definitely scold him.¡± He Weiyuan disagreed: ¡°Wang. Now Jinyang is prosperous and hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed at the border. If we don't attack the Qin people, they are just burning incense. How dare they dare to offend us? He was unhappy because He Weiyuan dared to refute him. The team obviously sped up. Half an hour later, Gao Yuan saw the dark welcoming crowd in front. The person at the front was naturally Xu Yuan, the commander of the First Military Region whom he had not seen for a long time. Seeing Gao Yuan's chariot, Commander Xu Yuan and Deputy Commander Ye Zhen rushed up to meet them. Next to them was Wang Yuan, the governor of Jinyang County. The Han army and the local area did not govern each other. Wang Yuan was in Jinyang. He was on an equal footing with these two people, managing both the army and the government. However, Jinyang was the front line against the Qin army, so many of Wang Yuan's jobs also involved dealing with the army, but he was able to get along well with these two senior military officials. good. "I've met the king!" Xu Yuan and Ye Zhen saluted, but Wang Yuan clasped his fists to the ground. "That's all, we are all old brothers, where are all these etiquettes." Gao Yuan jumped off the carriage with a smile and looked behind the three of them. Ding Wei, Commander of the Fifth Army, Yan Haibo, Commander of the Sixth Army, and Yan Haibo, Commander of the Seventh Army Chang Yanpeng, Commander of the Eighth Army Luo Weiran, Commander of the Ninth Army Infantry, Commander of the Tenth Army Yang Fugui, and Commander of the Eleventh Army Kong Fang were all familiar faces, except for the two cavalry division commanders of the First Military Region Gu Li and Agu Huai'en were not present, but all the others were present. On the other hand, the civil servants in Jinyang County, except for Wang Yuan, were all strangers. The old brothers were naturally very happy to meet each other, but Gao Yuan also knew very well that in this joy, there was also a sense of alienation and restraint. As the Han Dynasty became more and more powerful, its territory became wider and wider, and its national power As the relationship becomes stronger and stronger, it is impossible for my relationship with these old brothers to return to the closeness before, where I can joke loudly together and expose each other's secrets. Sometimes Gao Yuan feels that the more respectful they are to him, the less comfortable he feels. "Wang Yuan, you have done a good job as a county guard. Jinyang is really not like the front line fighting the Qin army. I think the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and the commerce is prosperous. Compared with Jicheng, it is not bad! "Gao Yuan did not praise Xu Yuan, but he praised Wang Yuan vigorously. Xu Yuan is an old brother, and talking too much will make people feel alienated. "This is all the work of Commander Xu and Deputy Commander Ye. The army is eyeing Qin, and the Qin people on the opposite side are in fear every day. How can they bother to harass us? We can naturally focus on local construction." "Wang In the past two years, apart fromTraining, just training, and being asked by Commander Wang to open up wasteland and harvest for him, they have almost become his voluntary workers. The soldiers are looking forward to fighting Qin as soon as possible, but they are suffocating quickly. It's been two years. "Xu Yuan on one side said a little dissatisfied. Gao Yuan laughed, "It's okay for the army to help the local area with construction. The military and civilian fisheries are in good condition. It seems that you, the military and political officials, still get along very happily. Well. " "Of course it's a pleasure. Our soldiers will be made to work by Governor Wang if they have nothing to do, and they won't be paid. "The sourness in Xu Yuan's words made everyone burst into laughter again. (To be continued.)
