    The weather in the south has just turned cold, but in Mengchi, thousands of miles away, it has already been covered in ice and snow.  This season, for the people of Mengchi, has already reached the season of cat winter. They close the door of their house, sit on the hot bed, prepare a few dishes of side dishes, warm a pot of old wine, and play with a few friends to guess the numbers. They are happy to win.  He was happy to lose, pouring glass after glass of wine into his mouth, and the burning taste of the wine turned into waves of heat steaming away in the laughter.  For the people in the Third Military Region, they have now fully realized the fun of having their wives and children on the hot bed. It is a far cry from the mood they had when they had no choice but to drag their families and immigrate to Mengchi, a place where birds do not shit.  Farewell, they were even grateful that they had made the most correct choice in their lives.  The vast world, fertile soil, tall houses, and welcoming countryside, all of which allowed them to take root here in a few years.  The population of the Third Military Region has now expanded to millions of people. The farms that were originally set up to unite people and gather people are now beginning to restructure. Soldiers in the farms one by one began to take off their military uniforms, quit the army, and become out-and-out  Although the farmers no longer have military pay, they no longer have to worry about survival.  Each household was assigned land, cattle and sheep, and with the completion of the Mengchi Exhibition and the completion of the transportation lifeline with Dayan County, the two places that were more closely connected also had countless development opportunities.  Especially after completely opening up the connection with the New Qin State on the other side of the desert, Mengchi has become the hub of communication between the Han State and the New Qin State. Every day, countless caravans leave from the Han Dynasty to Mengchi  After a short rest, we once again embarked on the journey across the desert.  Mengchi has become their transfer station. More and more powerful businessmen have built large warehouses in Mengchi as their transfer station. Some even even set up their own factories in Mengchi.  Mengchi.  to reduce production costs.  All of this provides opportunities for the Third Army to develop.  The Third Military Region is becoming another rising star in the Han Dynasty.  The Han Dynasty court was also planning to establish counties under the Third Military Region, completely breaking away from military control.  Zhao Xilie was sitting in his office.  I was concentrating on brewing Kung Fu tea. On the stove, the water in the small copper pot was boiling sizzlingly. The aroma of tea filled the room.  He is always the one who enjoys the most.  He demolished an entire wall in the office and installed it all with glass. Sitting in the office, you can have a clear view of the outside scenery. This cost a lot of money. It is said that it even attracted the attention of the Procuratorate at the time. However,  In the end, it was found out that the deputy commander of the Third Military Region did it out of his own pocket. Who knows how rich he is?  He not only installed one for himself, but also installed one for Commander He Lanxiong.  It is said that the completion of this project made the technical staff of Mingbo Company very troubled. They lived in Mengchi for more than a month before they solved the existing problems one by one.  Of course, this kind of decoration method has become popular in Jicheng. Compared with Mengchi, there are too many rich people in Jicheng.  Zhao Xilie was very complacent for a while, after all, he caused this trend himself.  Mei Pu, the controller of Mingbo Company, also wrote a special letter to express his gratitude to Zhao Xilie.  Because of this, Mingbo Company's product sales have greatly increased.  In the Han Dynasty, glass was still a luxury product, and ordinary people could not afford it.  After all capable people installed it, Mingbo Company's sales inevitably fell into a trough. However, Zhao Xilie's actions immediately created a trend, making Mingbo Company's products sell well again.  This building of the Third Military Region Headquarters was built a few years ago.  It can be regarded as a tiger perched on a dragon's plate, arrogant among the others. Compared with those one or two-story buildings, the six-story headquarters building is indeed a monster. But nowadays, there are many such tall buildings in Mengchi, and  The title of No. 1 has long been given to Cao's Hitchhiker.  Cao¡¯s company has been shifting the focus of the industry to Xinqin in the past two years. Of course, domestically, although they have lost a lot of market share, they are still the well-deserved boss.  Cao Tiancheng decided to build the ten-story Shunfeng Building in Mengchi as the Cao family's industrial headquarters. The building of the commander of the Third Military Region suddenly became the second largest building.  But this does not hinder Zhao Xilie¡¯s mood.  Over the years, he abandoned military service and entered politics, taking charge of all civil affairs affairs of the Third Military Region. Under his management, the development of the Third Military Region has been booming. Starting from this year, the Third Military Region has completely got rid of its reliance on central financial allocations to survive.  situation, thereby achieving self-sufficiency. Starting next year, they will also be able to pay taxes to the central government.  In just a few years, a barren and impoverished land has become rich. What else can make the officials in charge more excited?  He Lanxiong is a good partner. As the chief officer of the Third Army, he is very important to the civil affairs.The commander just let go of the task, and never interfered, letting Zhao Xilie do whatever he wanted, while he himself was focused on the military.  Although the Third Military Region is not the main battle military region in Han Dynasty, Gao Yuan only gave them 30,000 troops in terms of military establishment. However, He Lanxiong still wanted to build an elite of the elites and treat 30,000 troops as 100,000 troops.  Make the best.  After a few cups of hot tea, there was a slight sweat on the body. Although it was icy and snowy outside, the house was as warm as spring. The heat seeping out of the pipes made the whole house hot.  The entire building is heated by boiling water in the boiler room at the back of the building, and then sending the hot air into each room through pipes. Now this technology has basically matured, and the first person to install this equipment is  The headquarters building of the Third Military District.  In the Northwest, all government agencies now use this kind of heating equipment. There is no shortage of coal in the Northwest, which provides them with convenient conditions.  Through the landing gear, Zhao Xilie saw a group of people coming into the compound of the headquarters. Looking at the sign, he saw that it was a convoy of carriages and horses. This was a behemoth from the Han Dynasty. The background was scary. Senior managers in the carriages and horses.  Beyond the headquarters building, it was very simple. Zhao Xilie did not take it seriously. Cao Tiancheng was really a smart man. It is no wonder that the king has great trust in the Cao family. Now that the Cao family has transferred the focus of its industry to Xinqin, the king is satisfied.  After all, it is not a good thing for the country to let Cao's Horse Racing Company control domestic military transportation and other important businesses.  What's more, the twins of the Cao family, Cao Tianci and Sun Xiao, have too much power. One controls the domestic police force and security department, and the other is now the Minister of Construction. According to rumors, he will soon enter the political affairs hall.  .  In Zhao Xilie's opinion, the Cao family will continue to prosper like this for at least fifty years.  A familiar figure inadvertently appeared in his eyes. Zhao Xilie hummed, stood up, and walked to the window. At this moment, the man also raised his head, took off the cloak on his head, and looked at  Zhao Xilie smiled slightly, waved his hand, then lowered his head and put on the cloak.  Zhao Xilie suddenly opened the window, letting the cold outside and the wind and snow rush in through the window.  "Cao Tianci, why did he appear here?"  Now shouldn't he accompany the king in the vigorous battle to destroy Chu?  After closing the window, he strode towards the door. When Cao Tianci came, he always needed to greet him. He put his hand on the doorknob, but stopped again. Cao Tianci obviously saw him and waved his hand.  What's the meaning?  After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xilie let go of his hand, and instead walked to the desk, stretched out his hand and pulled a rope on the wall behind him. A jingling sound sounded outside, and an officer immediately opened the door.  Strided in.  "Deputy Commander!" "I just saw the people coming along the way. I just have something to talk to them about. Go and call the person in charge of them." Zhao Xilie ordered.  "Yes!" A moment later, Cao Tianci, wrapped in a cloak, appeared in Zhao Xilie's room. He closed the door, lifted up the cloak, wiped his wet head, and stamped his feet, as if to remove the coldness from his body.  Expelled from within.  "Brother Zhao, you are so blessed! Such a life is really enviable!" Cao Tianci sighed.  Zhao Xilie laughed loudly, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Cao Tianci, "Let's have a cup of hot tea first to keep warm. I am indeed enjoying the blessings here, but I hope to serve the king in Jingzhou now. Otherwise,  Let¡¯s switch, and you¡¯ll enjoy it?¡± The two looked at each other and laughed.  After drinking a cup of hot tea, Cao Tianci's pale complexion finally turned rosy. He sat down on a chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Zhao Xilie with a smile: "Why, your hands are itchy and you want to fight?" Zhao Xilie looked at  The other party said thoughtfully: "To be able to make you travel thousands of miles, brave the wind and snow, and then appear so mysteriously on the territory of the Third Military Region, I'm afraid there is really something big going on. What's the matter? Your Majesty wants to use the Third Military Region."  "It's really clever!" Cao Tianci applauded softly: "That's true. Now the king is placing pieces on the chessboard. How can the Third Military Region stay away from it?"  Get excited.  "Is there a battle?" "Of course, it's not a small battle, it's a big battle, an extraordinary battle. After this battle, if we win, then the world will be at peace from now on. By the way, congratulations  Commander Lan hasn't come yet?" "He's training now!" Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Zhao Xilie laughed and said, "He always thinks that there will be a day when he sets foot on the battlefield, so he keeps training hard.  "It's snowing so hard, what kind of military training is he doing?" Cao Tianci asked in confusion.    "You will understand when you see him. How about we go take a look together?" Zhao Xilie said with a smile.  "Natural!" (To be continued.)
