Chapter 1326: Han Banner World (16) Something Happened in Liaodong

The dinner at the government office did not last long and ended quickly. Except for Ke Yuanshan, who happily toasted Gao Yuan with a glass of wine because the medical university he organized was recognized by the king, everyone else was trembling with fear. Most of the people have never seen Gao Yuan, and naturally have no way of knowing Gao Yuan's temperament. It's not like Ke Yuanshan who often travels between Jicheng and Helin. With his medical skills, not to mention the king, even the princess is common. .

At the end of the song, everyone dispersed, even Mao Dewang said goodbye and left, leaving only Gao Yuan and Sun Xiao in the room.

Rubbing his temples, Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "It's strange. They say that the more you practice, the more you drink. Why don't I see any progress? After just a few drinks, I can't bear it."

Sun Xiao's "Pig>Pig" Island" novel www.m is naturally well aware of Gao Yuan's shortcomings, so the dishes arranged during the banquet are not strong drinks. "The king is a god descended from heaven. If he has no flaws, wouldn't he be a god? Yes, this is a good thing.”

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Sun Xiao, you have been a shepherd for a long time, and you are good at flattering people."

Sun Xiao also laughed, "Your Majesty praised me. In fact, there are not many people in the world who need me to flatter you. After thinking about it, I only have the ears of your Majesty. I only need to flatter you. After thinking about it day and night, Naturally, he is good at kung fu.”

Hearing what Sun Xiao said, Gao Yuan was overjoyed and slapped Sun Xiao on the shoulder hard, "Good boy, I never thought that you have grown so much after being a shepherd for these years."

"I have never forgotten to study these years. Besides, in Dayan County, there are many great scholars and masters. Sun Xiao often goes to ask for advice, but no progress is made. I really feel sorry for the king's painstaking efforts." Sun Xiao said with a smile.

Um! Gao Yuan nodded, "After returning from this inspection, I am ready to withdraw from the Eastern Protectorate."

"I am also planning to propose this matter to the king. I established the Eastern Protectorate at the beginning. It was because I needed a stable backyard and gathered the power of several counties to reserve strength for the founding of the country. Now that the Han Dynasty is booming, the three counties of Liaodong are already stable. The Protectorate of the Eastern Protectorate can command several counties, and it is too powerful to exist any longer." Sun Xiao nodded.

"Sun Xiao, I'm not doubting you." Gao Yuan said.

Sun Xiao smiled and said: "Of course I know that I am loyal to the king when I come to be the protector. But I can't always stay in this position. If someone else comes, how can I ensure that this person's safety is guaranteed?" Loyal? If you withdraw at that time, it will inevitably cause trouble, so it is best to withdraw while I am in charge."

"As expected, he is my old brother, and he knows my thoughts well." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "With the withdrawal of the Eastern Protectorate, you will only have the position of Dayan County Sheriff, which is not good. It does not suit your status, you Where do you want to go?”

"Wherever the king arranges for me to go,

Wherever I go. Just now the king said that I am your old brother, so of course I can be used as you wish. " Sun Xiao said.

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment: "Lian'er has stayed with you in this bitter cold frontier land for many years. Now that we have three children, it's time to go back. The Ministry of Industry does not have a minister yet, and it is led by Wu Kaijian. You go back first Let's start from the Ministry of Works. By the way, I'm going to rename the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Construction. You will be the Minister of Construction. After two years of experience, you can enter the political affairs hall. , I don’t have enough energy, I’m afraid I can only do this one session.”

"I will obey the King's arrangements for everything. But Your Majesty, Dayan County is not suffering now even though it is cold!" Sun Xiao said.

"You, are you showing off your merit to me?" Gao Yuan laughed, "You, I am too lazy to reward you for your merit. By the way, how is the construction of the road to Mengchi in the Third Military Region?"

"The progress is very rapid. The entire line should be connected by May. By then, transporting supplies to the Third Military Region will not be as troublesome as it is now." Sun Xiao said.

"Very good. In May, Wang Jian will also come here. Just in time to show him what Dayan County looks like now?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"This man is quite brave. He actually asked to meet the king. He is not afraid that we will capture him." Sun Xiao shook his head.

"Wang Jian is also a hero, a rare talent. What is he afraid of? Why should I catch him? Once caught, his rule will be in chaos. It will be useless to add another opponent. Moreover, the big food in black will no longer It's not what I want if someone resists." Gao Yuan sighed: "He knew this, so he dared to come. Moreover, this man is also a filial son. His father Wang Xiao's grave is still on the bank of Dayan Lake. He came here firstly to meet with me, and secondly because he wanted to take back his father’s bones.”

"At the beginning, I never imagined that this person would have such an encounter. It's a pity that we didn't know what was happening in the desert back then, otherwise we would have already crossed the desert." Sun Xiao sighed.

"Even if we knew, how could we have the strength to go through it at that time? I am too busy to deal with this mess in the Central Plains?"

"Does the king really allow him to form his own country?"

"Of course, the big food in black is not that easy to deal with." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Let him resist for us for a few years. During these years, we have to continue to help him until the time is right. When the time comes, we don’t have to fight them, they will come back naturally.”

"The king is saying that Wang Jian will not be the opponent of Black Clothes Dashi?" Sun Xiao said in shock.

"The strength of Black Clothed Dashi is far beyond your imagination. With Wang Jian's current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist him for a long time. One day he will beg us." Gao Yuan said with a smile. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the things in front of us. The three counties of Liaodong are indeed developing very fast, but there are also many problems. After listening to Mao Dewang's work report today, I found that he did not pay attention to these things. !”

"What is the king talking about? I don't know yet!" Sun Xiao straightened his body.

"You spend most of your time in Dayan County, and the management of the three counties in Liaodong is all about paperwork. It is natural not to know that, but Mao Dewang should know, but it seems that he does not take it seriously, Liaoning County Mine Among the many mines, what is the most numerous?”

Sun Xiao thought for a moment and was horrified after the film was released, "Of course there are the most people."

"Yes, there are the most people, and they are all strong people. Once something happens, it will not be a trivial matter." Gao Yuan looked at Sun Xiao and said.

The hairs all over Sun Xiao's body suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, how could such a thing happen under the rule of our Han Dynasty?"

"How can you say it accurately? You have to know that sometimes people don't want to make trouble, but they are forced to make trouble." Gao Yuan stood up and walked back and forth in the room a few times, "Is there any Godsend there? Without such information, many mine bosses here are not very kind. The sky is high here and the rules are far away. In some places, the rules may not be followed by everyone. Due to the lack of information and the small number of literate people here, There are not many knowledgeable people, and there are countless illegal things, including private detention of workers and even trafficking in people for hard labor. As for the wages, hehe, they can only make a living, not starve to death. Xiao, you see the rapid development and prosperity of this Liaoning County, but there are also many people’s blood and tears buried underneath!”

Sun Xiao stood up in excitement, "This kind of thing still happens, Mao Dewang cannot escape the blame."

Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Sit down. Generally speaking, Mao Dewang has done a good job in governing Liaoning County. The reason why I didn't tell him personally is to give him face. After you go down, Let’s have a good talk with him. Political achievements are necessary, but more importantly, making the people under his rule live a better life. He needs to understand the importance of this clearly.”

"I understand. I'm afraid it's not just a problem for Liaoning County. Your Majesty, before the Eastern Protectorate is abolished, I have to be a villain." Sun Xiao gasped, if it really happened. What happened? Don't say that all the county guards can't escape when the time comes. How can he, the guardian, not be responsible? He has served as the governor of the Eastern Protectorate for many years and has always made many achievements. He does not want to leave a black mark on his files when he is about to leave office.

"You bastard! You are so evil about making money." In the end, Sun Xiao couldn't help but cursed.

"There's no need to be so excited. When we were in Jicheng, I once told Jing'er that no matter how bright the sun is, there are shadows that it can't shine. We still have to look at the problem from a broad perspective. If there is a problem, we will solve it. Okay, now we can only do it step by step, don't mess up the originally stable situation because of these things." Gao Yuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it seems that my temper still needs to be tempered. When I hear such things, I can't help but feel hatred." Sun Xiao said.

"It's because we all come from poor backgrounds and know how difficult life is at the bottom, so when we hear things like this, we can't help but feel the same way and get angry. But in the future, will our next generation still feel the same way?" Gao Yuan Shaking his head, "No, because they don't have this kind of experience. Let me tell you a joke. It is said that there was a young king in ancient times. When he was on a patrol, he saw that his people were sallow and thin, so he asked the attendants around him why they His attendants told him that it was because these people were hungry. The young king was very surprised and asked, "Why don't they eat meat?"

Sun Xiao didn't laugh when he heard this joke. He could naturally appreciate the deep meaning in it.

"So what I think about most now is to improve our laws as much as possible, divide our bureaucracy into several systems of mutual checks and balances, supervise each other as much as possible, and minimize the occurrence of this kind of thing. occur."

"So the chief minister will be elected, and each chief minister will be elected for a maximum of two terms?" Sun Xiao asked.

"Yes, in the future the king may be a foolish king, but he will not have too much direct power. The chief assistant may also be a mediocre person, but he will be mediocre for at most ten years. We big men will not be so unlucky. Every king is a foolish king. , Every chief assistant is mediocre, right?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Sun Xiao was really amused by Gao Yuan.

"I'll have a talk with Mao Dewang tomorrow. It's getting late today. Your Majesty has worked hard today. Let's go to bed early!" Sun Xiao stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay, I want to visit the shipyard in Dalian tomorrow, so you and Mao Dewang don't want to follow me." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Just as Sun Xiao turned around, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and Cao Tianci barged in, "Your Majesty, something has happened!" (To be continued...)
