Chapter 632: Bridge 1

"One bridge flies across the north and south, and the natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare!" Standing on the edge of the Liaohe River, looking at the bridge that has gradually taken shape on the Liaohe River to connect the two sides of the Liaohe River, I couldn't help but get inspired by poetry, and recited two poems from the past life. This is a poem that is well-known all over the world, but these two poems obviously do not conform to the aesthetics of this era. Whether it is the generals or civil servants around Gao Yuan, they just treat it as Gao Yuan said casually, and no one jumps out to pat him. The flattery made him feel a little disappointed.

After defeating Yuwen Ke three months ago, Gao Yuan used the pontoon bridge that Yuwen Ke built when crossing the river as a basis to start building a bridge connecting the two sides. Although the bridge was made of wood, it had to span tens to hundreds of meters in width. , for this era, it is still an amazing big project. Towering trees were pulled here from far away places and driven deep into the water as foundation piles. Countless water cats dived into the water. , the foundation piles were firmly nailed together with crossbars. It took a month to complete the most basic work. The next step was the main project of the bridge. Tens of thousands of people worked hard for nearly two months and finally got the job done. The underwater work was completed before the snow started, and now the planks have finally begun. Once this final work is completed, the bridge is considered complete.

"This should be the first bridge on the Liao River, right?" Gao Yuan felt proud as he pointed at the majestic project on the river.

"Yes, Governor, this is indeed the first bridge on the Liaohe River since ancient times. With it, it will be of great help to us in navigating the Hetao." Fan Dengke, who had just been transferred from Jishi City, nodded.

Fan Dengke, a native of Langya County, was sent to western Liaoning as the manager of all craftsmen when Ye Jing'er married Gao Yuan. Now, he has been appointed as the chief historian of Hetao County in Zhengdong Prefecture. He is specifically responsible for farming work. For a man who has managed tens of thousands of craftsmen, he manages farming. It's not that much of a hassle.

"Dengke, as of today. How many households have immigrated in Hetao County?" Gao Yuan walked cross-legged on the withered grass and turned to ask.

"According to statistics from Xiaguan ten days ago, there are now 30,000 households in Hetao County, including 20,000 craftsmen households. They mainly rely on the Eastern Expeditionary Army to build Dayan City. The families who accompanied these craftsmen, in addition to working in the fields, also I was most surprised by their enthusiasm for farming. What's surprising is that 603 of these farming households are from Qin." Fan Dengke shook his head and said: "Qin is the largest country in the world. I don't understand why these people abandoned their Qin identity and traveled thousands of miles to the Hetao Plain. Come to farm."

Gao Yuan snorted, "The Qin State is indeed the largest country in the world. But do you think their people are very rich? Wrong, their people are very poor, and some of them are so poor that they have no food to eat. I'm afraid they are better than us in Yan. There are even more countries. We allocate farmland here for free, provide farm tools and livestock, and are exempt from poll tax. They only need to pay half of the income from farming for the first three years, and then it will decrease by 10% every year. Where can such good things be found in Hetao? . As long as one works hard enough, it will be easy to make a well-off family in three to five years.”

"Captain!" Xu Yuan, who was beside Gao Yuan, said, "That's what I said.

But the general feels that we still need to strictly investigate these people. I am worried that among these people, there are spies of the Qin people. Maybe not only the Qin people, but also the Zhao people and the Yan people. It is impossible for them to make such a big move in Hetao. I don’t know. Now that I know, it’s impossible not to mix sand. Our military and political system is strict and the source is relatively simple. If you want to mix sand, these farming households are the best choice. Although it can't be said to be a big deal, it always makes people feel uncomfortable. "

"Xu Yuan's concerns are not unreasonable. Tianci has sent people to set up a branch of the Supervisory Office in Hetao County. When his people arrive, their Supervisory Office will handle this matter. If you have specialization in the art, you don't have to Worry about this." Gao Yuan smiled.

"Yes, my subordinate Meng Lang. Naturally, the Governor has already considered such a matter. But Governor, there is one more thing I would like to ask the Governor for permission." Xu Yuan looked at Gao Yuan with a smile and said.

"Looking at your sly look, you must have no good intentions. Tell me, what are you thinking about?" Gao Yuan looked at Xu Yuan and laughed.

"The Governor's eyes are like lightning. He really sees into the heart. How can I hide this little thought from the Governor, but he can see through it at a glance." Xu Yuan scratched his head and said sheepishly.

"Thousands of wears, no flattery, Xu Yuan, your flattery is too direct and has no technical content at all. This is not your specialty. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Gao Yuan smiled and stabbed him with a riding crop. He poked Xu Yuan on the shoulder and said.

Xu Yuan coughed twice, "Commander, that Chen Bin is the general under the general's command, and he was also the first batch of troops to cross the river. The general thinks that his strength is still a little weak, but here, the general is really strong. I can't spare many men, so I want to steal some cavalry from Gongsun Yi and give them to Chen Bin. It's like robbing his family's ancestral graves, pushing them left and right, and it's not easy. "

Gao Yuan glanced at him sideways, "Gongsun Yi is your general, and you actually made him not move. You are not doing a good job as an army commander. It seems I have to consider your appointment."

"Ah no, no, no!" Xu Yuan didn't expect Gao Yuan to think like this, and he panicked. In Gao Yuan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Xu Yuan twisted for a while, and then said quietly: "Actually, actually I I want to ask the governor for the four hundred black cavalry, the ones under the command of Commander Helan."

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "I knew you were making this idea. To tell you the truth, the more than 400 cavalrymen under Coach Helan have not yet been officially incorporated into that army. If you want to, go to Coach Helan and tell them. As long as she agrees, I will agree.”

Xu Yuan suddenly grimaced, "If I dare to ask for it from Coach Helan, I will be troubled by the governor there. Who in Pioneer City doesn't know that these more than 400 black-clad guards are the darlings of Coach Helan? If I go If you do, I'm afraid he'll be beaten down with a whip, I'm no match for Coach Helan."

Gao Yuan let out a laugh, Xu Yuan was a tough guy, and in a real fight, He Lanyan was no match, Xu Yuan just didn't dare to fight back.

"I don't care about this, just go find Coach Helan." Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Xu Yuan wanted to beg again, but a voice suddenly came from behind him. He immediately shrank his head.

"Who is looking for me?" As a clear voice sounded, He Lanyan appeared behind the two of them, today's He Lanyan. He wears a short-sleeved Hufu and a full head of pigtails fluttering in the wind. Endlessly light and elegant.

"He's looking for you!" Gao Yuan pointed his riding whip at Xu Yuan and sold him out.

"Xu Yuan, what are you looking for me for?" He Lanyan turned to look at Xu Yuan and asked strangely.

"Ahem, this, I, that..." Xu Yuan was about to shrink back very spinelessly, "I want to ask Coach Helan to join our army. He can teach Gongsun Yi and those guys how to fight cavalry. They... , very unmotivated, I’m very angry.”

"He's lying!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This kid wants your cavalry in black, and he wants me to tell you!"

"So you have taken a fancy to my cavalry in black, Xu Yuan, you are quite knowledgeable!" He Lanyan giggled.

"That's, that's the cavalry trained by the coach. I'm really jealous when I see it!" Xu Yuan stepped back a little. This is the way.

"But you are not the only one who knows the goods. Just before I came here, Yan Peng gave me a generous gift. I also want this cavalry!" He Lanyan said with a full smile.

Xu Yuan was immediately furious, "This boy doesn't know how to be grateful at all. When he first came to Hetao, I generously gave him two thousand soldiers and horses, and now he is still fighting with me. Good boy, I will definitely teach him a lesson when he comes back." Him."

He Lanyan looked at him with a half-smile, but said nothing.

Xu Yuan shut up immediately. But he was unwilling to give in, "Coach. What gift did Yan Peng give you? I promise to double it. As long as you are willing to give me those four hundred cavalry."

"As for me, I didn't ask for his gift." He Lanyan said in a long voice.

Xu Yuan was immediately overjoyed, "I knew that Coach Helan was someone who could be moved by a few gifts. That guy Yan Peng didn't open his eyes and got a bad rap from the coach. He deserved it."

"I didn't ask for his gift, but I made a condition. If he dares to agree, I will give him these four hundred cavalry." He Lanyan smiled and said authentically: "Yan Peng said he would think about it. He will give me an answer tomorrow. ”

Xu Yuan was startled, and immediately jumped up as if his feet were burning, "I don't have to think about tomorrow, now, right away, I agree to your conditions."

"Okay, I'm going to serve as the commander of your cavalry division in your army." He Lanyan tugged on his beard and immediately accepted the offer.

"I agreed!" Xu Yuan blurted out without thinking. He didn't realize something was wrong until he said the words, "What, to become the commander of the cavalry division in our army?"

"You agreed!" He Lanyan raised her horse's whip and pointed at Xu Yuan, "Once a man has said his word, it is hard to chase him. As the commander of the First Army of the Northern Group Army of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, do you want to go back on your word? It's so shameless. How can you establish authority and trust in the army?" She raised her whip and waved it, making Xu Yuan's heart tremble.

"Besides, if you don't agree, Yan Peng might agree. When the time comes, let alone the black guards, you won't even be able to touch a hair on the black guards' horses." He Lanyan threatened.

Xu Yuan's eyes were originally looking at Gao Yuan, but at this moment Gao Yuan was shaking his head violently behind He Lanyan. Xu Yuan was trying his best to refuse the matter even after receiving a few whips from He Lanyan, but when he thought of that guy Yan Peng, it was really possible for him to agree to He Lanyan's offer. , immediately became desperate, Gao Yuan ignored his eyes, and blushed, "I agreed, the position of commander of the First Army Cavalry Division is yours."

"Great!" He Lanyan jumped up, "I will take the four hundred black-clad guards to find Gongsun Yi now. I am the division commander, so I will let him be my deputy. He doesn't dare to refuse, so I'm leaving. !" He turned around, glanced at Gaoyuan proudly, and walked away.

As soon as He Lanyan left, Xu Yuan didn't dare to stay any longer. Gao Yuan's face was dark, "Commander, there are still some chores to deal with in the army. General, I'm leaving!"

"Want to run?" Gao Yuan flew up and kicked Xu Yuan hard on the crotch, "For the sake of four hundred black-clad guards, you don't even dare to listen to me."

"But Governor, you didn't say anything just now!" Xu Yuan said with a sad face as he touched his buttocks.

"You..." Gao Yuanji pointed at Xu Yuan, but he was very happy. Guys who have read books are sophistry, it is really difficult to deal with them. How can people like Lu Xiao and the others have so many people's thoughts? After being angry for a long time, he said helplessly Waving his hands, "Forget it, what kind of temperament does she have, how can I keep her by my side for a long time? Go ahead and go, but Xu Yuan, listen carefully, you are the commander of an army, she is gone You are your general, and you should respect her in private, but in official matters, you have to be careful."

"I understand!" Hearing this, Xu Yuan was overjoyed. The governor had agreed. "One is one, two is two in military affairs. I will never be vague. Besides, the governor can rest assured that Coach Helan is in my army. I will never let the coach encounter any danger."

"On the battlefield, there is no certainty. I will transfer Guo Laoyan to your place later. You can find an excuse to give her to Helan Yan. I am not assured of the two girls, Sura and Ula."

"Okay, okay!" Xu Yuan was grinning from ear to ear. Not only did he get four hundred black guards, but he also kidnapped Guo Laoyan from the governor's personal guard camp. That guy is a figure comparable to Yang Dasha. This vote is a huge profit. If he meets Yan Peng one day, that guy will be furious. (To be continued)
