"The two of them went to Hengfu City?" Ding Kui's return to Juyang City was not completely fulfilled as he was still disappointed by someone on his birthday.
"Yes, Master Gongliang has arrived at Hengfu City and has announced that it will temporarily become Li Fei's natal home. Li Fei and Ruan Xingzhu went to pay homage together." Shao Dian Luan looked a little fairer.
Recently, she has stopped practicing knighthood and only does simple exercises under the guidance of Mrs. Liang. She spends most of her time pampered in the house.
"Ding, what, can you get a simple teleportation array in Hengfu City? That's really a good thing." Huang Wan didn't know what to call Ding Kui for a while, but she was eager to ask about the teleportation array, plus she and Ding Kui
The relationship is pretty good, so I might as well not care about that much.
"Senior Sister Huang, the materials are limited. When the railcar starts running, it will only take an hour for Hengfu City to deliver the items. There is no need to waste it." Ding Kui really didn't mind her yelling.
"Huh?" Huang Wan was unwilling to accept it, "Will you do it in other places in the future? For example, the capital or the state city."
"Other counties and cities can be considered. Prefecture cities and capital cities are not possible in the short term, especially the capital city, which has space transmission restrictions." Ding Kui did not consider that long term.
"Huh?" Huang Wan looked at Ding Kui in surprise, "How do you know there are space teleportation restrictions in the capital?"
"I don't even know about this." Shaodianluan said that he had never heard of it.
"Well, a senior told me." Ding Kui had a habit of throwing the blame to mysterious seniors.
Being interrupted by Huang Wan, his slight unhappiness was forgotten. He still had family and friends to accompany him.
The wedding day is approaching step by step. Even if Shao Dian Luan is presiding over the overall situation, Ding Kui will inevitably come out to entertain. Jiang Tong has a group of old men who come from nowhere, and he has to personally receive them.
Many new factories have been built around Juyang City, and their production scale far exceeds that of large workshops. This is an eye-opener for guests from afar. Ding Kui can take people to visit the factories for a day.
Of course, the arsenal with the highest confidentiality is concentrated in Hengfu City, and visitors are not allowed to visit there.
As the territory expanded, he began to classify different places into different positions. For example, Hengfu City was located in a remote location and had good security and privacy. It was positioned as an arsenal and a confidential research and development site to facilitate the management of relevant personnel.
Technology and items.
Juyangcheng has two wharves, which bear the heavy responsibility of foreign trade. Export products and processed products with supplied materials are the focus of manufacturing. Cargo handling and transportation are also a focus of development. The railway, the upgrade of the old and new wharfs and the Chunlu Bridge are all under construction.
There are also earth magicians who are studying the plan of the Camelback Mountain Tunnel.
The Tuofengshan Tunnel is a passage specially used for rail cars. It is easily attacked and destroyed, so it has no military value, but its commercial value is very high. After it is opened, it can be connected to the southern part of Nanzhao Prefecture, Port City, and Qinglan City by railway.
, poor areas such as Kada City and Jiefang City are expected to get rid of poverty and become rich.
It is for the above reasons that the people of the four cities are eagerly looking forward to Ding Kui's arrival.
Speaking of this, I have to mention one person. He is Huang Wan's teacher Fang Zhen. This steward of the Magic Association came to Juyang City from Zhenjing City specifically to solve the tunnel problem.
Not long after he was promoted to forbidden magician, he heard Huang Wan mention the tunnel. He thought it was very meaningful to the people and it was a responsibility that an earth magician should bear. In addition, Ding Kui had created a lot of benefits for his disciples, so he decided to
Take a trip yourself.
This is also mixed with a little bit of personal feelings. His cultivation has been suppressed by Quan Ling, and he always wants to beat Quan Ling in magic. The application of magic to people's livelihood is the breakthrough he found, while Quan Ling prefers magic attacks and
defense.
Ding Kui was worried that it would be too expensive to build a tunnel, so he might as well build two bridges to bypass Tuofeng Mountain. Since Fang Zhun came to ask for help, of course he happily accepted it.
It is expected that after the tunnel project is completed, the journey from Juyang City to Port City can be shortened to about two hours, and a large amount of cargo can be carried, and then from Port City to Qinglan City, Kada City, to Tunchang County, Dongxing County,
It is not a dream to connect Daling County and Juyang City to our country by land.
June 8th was another special day. On this day, Shu Wu gathered his subordinate city lords to the county town for a meeting.
There are a total of nineteen city lords outside the county. However, due to well-known reasons, Juyang City, Dingjiang City, Dongxiong City and Chunlu City will no longer have city lords appointed by the imperial court, that is, they are not under the jurisdiction of the county governor, and because the boundary cities
, the city lords of Jizhou City, Kada City and Shun'an City were assassinated, so there should be eleven city lords attending the meeting this time.
In the lobby of the temporary governor's mansion, Shu Wu looked around at the city lords who had arrived on time and asked: "Where are Du Yan from Xining City and Yan Lu from Shifeng City?"
The nine city lords present looked at each other. Although they could guess the reason, no one was willing to stand up and say it.
Those who can come today are all city lords who have fought for the rest of their lives, and are not newly appointed by the imperial court. In other words, they all took office during the reign of Shao Diandan, and they were not deliberately arranged against Ding Kui.
However, Du Yan of Xining City and Yan Lu of Shifeng City took office after the war. At that time, there had already been a turmoil over Ding Kui's new fiefdom. It was obvious that they had the imprint of the Zi family on them.
Shu Wu has inspected the entire county and has met all the city lords. He can be said to be the most familiar with Nanqiu County.
The master reminded from the side: "Master, I informed them ten days ago, but I haven't received a reply yet. I'm afraid they won't come today."
Shu Wu said: "Okay, let's start first. Let's talk about the government affairs of this city. Then..."
Nanqiu County's first post-war meeting of city leaders was held in a semi-formal manner, because the officials present barely managed to pass the majority.
The old city lords have no problems with government affairs. The biggest problem is the lack of money. Today's court is not like in previous years. After the war, disaster relief funds were distributed. Finance Minister Fan Yang has abandoned his job and fled back to his hometown. A bad debt in the treasury has not yet been cleared. To support the operation of the country
It's all a problem, let alone disaster relief.
"Okay, the government affairs have been solved, and the money problem has been solved. However, I have to announce a decree first."
Shu Wu stood up and spread out a volume of documents.
"According to the decree of the Princess of the Prison Kingdom, the city lords of Nanqiu County are hereby ordered to appear in court."
The hearts of the city lords that had just been relieved were lifted again.
This purpose is very obvious, which is to let everyone publicly recognize Shaodian Luan as the supervisor of the country. In other words, it means to betray the current court and recognize Shaodian as the legitimate king.
Everyone is somewhat mentally prepared to come. The princess's mansion is in the county. Can you pretend not to know? But when faced with it suddenly, no one immediately stood up and expressed their opinion.
"You can choose to go or not!" Ding Kui walked out of the back hall with his hands behind his back, "I will give you one last chance to choose. If you don't want to go, leave now. I guarantee that you will leave Nanqiu County safely."
He made a condition that those who did not want to surrender could leave Nanqiu County, and they would not want to be the city lord anymore, and they could save their lives.
Shu Wu trotted from the main seat to Ding Kui's side and said flatteringly: "Prince-in-law, I have something to report for my humble duty. Du Yan and Yan Lu were not there for some unknown reason and could not receive the eldest princess's order."
Ding Kui said very domineeringly: "Well, don't worry about it, there will be no more Du Yan and Yan Lu in the future!"
The two sang and harmonized, another scene of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, making all the city lords present feel on pins and needles.
"It is disrespectful to have not seen the eldest princess for a long time. I will go to see you now." Wu Jin was the first to stand up and express his position.
He was the one who had seen Shaodian Luan the most among all the city lords. He was able to save his life in the war thanks to Ding Kui. It was Ding Kui who arranged for someone to escort him to Kada City. Of course, Ding Kui also recaptured Port City.
He is the one who owes Ding Kui the most favors.
Considering the future development of Port City, it is not difficult for everyone to understand Wu Jin's intention to move closer to Ding Kui. No matter how much he would rather die than become the city lord, he might as well seek refuge with Ding Kui.
If someone is the first one, it will be easier, and people will follow immediately. Five or six city lords such as Qinglan City, Xixuan City, Huatong City, etc. said goodbye to Ding Kui, turned around and went to the Princess Mansion next door, leaving four or five city lords.
Without thinking about it for long, they all left and headed to the princess mansion.
"Congratulations, sir, there are only six places left without city lords that are not stable. Nanqiu County is basically under your control." Shu Wu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"You and Liu Yu pick a few people together. Don't pay attention to their status. They must have experience. Send them to be the current city lord first. If they do well, they will have the opportunity to become the official city lord." Ding Kui could predict today's situation.
As long as Shaodianfeng is still there, there will be people who are willing to take chances, which will be very beneficial to the recruitment of local officials.
He believed that Shaodian did not dare to touch Shaodianfeng and Tantai Taifei. After all, they were the flesh and blood of the late king. They could seize the throne and could not be killed, otherwise it would violate the royal family's taboo. At that time, Zisi only dared to force Shaodianji to commit suicide, and he did not
Dare to harm Shaodianji's descendants.
Now that his wife had become a prisoner, he did not hide his ambitions and began to attack the surrounding cities and counties. Taking over the entire Nanqiu County was the first step, and then he set his sights on the west.
Shaodian Luan did not come to the county alone, but two super figures came with him. They were Jiang Tong and Gong Lianggu.
"Well, this little girl has some charisma." Gong Lianggu was observing Shaodian Luan's meeting with the city lords.
Sitting next to him was Jiang Tong. The two of them could not be said to have a deep friendship, but Jiang Tong was a legendary knight with a similar combat power to him. He was a strong man who was qualified to sit beside him and could speak well.
"She is the chosen one of the Shaodian family. She has been wronged by being the prisoner. Maybe she will be the guardian of the royal family in the future." The grandfather must know more inside information.
"So I'm right. My disciple is aggrieved. It's not a shame to be subordinated to the chosen one. Maybe Shenshui Sect will have to rely on her to take care of her in the future." Gong Lianggu became more calm.
He agreed to marry Li Fei to Ding Kui for many reasons, and the information Jiang Tong brought strengthened his confidence.
Jiang Tong teased: "Haha, I thought you were interested in Kui'er's ability to make money and were afraid that President Zhe's followers would take advantage of you."
"You guessed it right. This is indeed part of the reason. Shenshuimen is too weak in Shaodian Kingdom." Gong Lianggu's eyes were filled with helplessness.
