The warriors training in the square immediately stopped and burst into cheers. Seeing Zhang Yi walking up and down the wall every day, waiting anxiously, they were also anxious, but they couldn't say anything more.
.
At this time, everyone was happy, rushing to the house to get dressed, and followed Zhang Yi down the mountain.
Xiao Han ran out of the house carrying a black wooden stick. He believed that his duties as the head of the engineering department and the commander of the Cheetah Regiment were secondary, and that protecting his sworn brother was his greatest responsibility.
After the group descended from the mountain, they mounted their horses and ran towards the beacon.
From a distance, I saw another group of people standing by the bonfire, wearing expensive fur coats, with unusual identities, including Xu Fenghua!
"Brother Yi, here I come!" Xu Fenghua was overjoyed. He jumped up and waved, and shouted to the people next to him, "He is Brother Yi, the handsome young man riding the black horse!"
Galloping through the snow, Zhang Yi reined in his horse when he was more than ten meters away, jumped off the horse, walked up to him with a smile, and hugged Xu Fenghua.
The two sides had misunderstandings, but they had been honest with each other long ago. Now they meet in the south, eight or nine hundred miles away from Jiyuan City. This long-awaited feeling is still a mixture of surprises.
"Brother Xu, I've been looking forward to your coming every day, and finally I met you!" Zhang Yi laughed.
"It's the same for me. After we said goodbye to Jiyuan, brother and I have been thinking about my step-brother day and night, running non-stop to finally get things done." Xu Fenghua was filled with emotion. He spent a lot of money on this, but compared with his future profits,
, it’s nothing.
"Thank you, Brother Xu!" Zhang Yi laughed and noticed that the group of people behind Xu Fenghua looked either rich or noble.
"Let me introduce you. My righteous brother is very famous. Governor Lu Wang of Yuzhou attaches great importance to him and came to visit him personally!" Xu Fenghua introduced hurriedly.
Now, except for the people in Old China who don't know Zhang Yi's true identity, Zhang Yi has not concealed it from anyone else. This is due to historical reasons. Old China poses the greatest threat to the Mopan City area and must be guarded against.
The original province became Yuzhou. Zhang Yi had long known from Xu Fenghua that the full name of Little China was the United States of China, which was established based on the Western system and governed Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places. The power of the governor
All are big.
"Hello, Governor Lu!" Zhang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with the tall, middle-aged man with slicked back hair and a carefully trimmed mustache.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" Governor Lu said with a smile on his face.
For a moment, Zhang Yi felt like time and space were intertwined. In old China, people used to address each other as brothers, in Greater China, people used to address each other as comrades, and in Little China, they became sir!
In this vast land of China, countries with three different systems have appeared at the same time, retroism, socialism and capitalism. It is truly an undreamed-of miracle. The new generation rising in the wasteland world has chosen different development
Roads have brought huge man-made obstacles to the reunification of China.
What you think is just a momentary matter.
"It's freezing cold. If Governor Lu doesn't mind, please come sit in the village and have a cup of hot wine to warm your stomach." Zhang Yi warmly invited.
Standing next to him was an officer with the rank of major general, wearing a straight military coat. He was about to express a different opinion, but was stopped by Governor Lu.
Governor Lu smiled and said: "Okay, how can I refuse Mr. Zhang's kindness? Let's go sit in the village and enjoy the snow scenery in the mountains along the way."
"Then the officers of our Fifth Army will wait for the governor at the foot of the mountain." The major general said, and there was something in his words. If the governor encounters an accident, the army will attack.
Zhang Yi saw hundreds of soldiers standing not far behind, all wearing armor, carrying long knives on their waists, and holding crossbows. Obviously, among the three countries, Little China is the richest, and the soldiers' equipment is also the richest.
most.
Zhang Yi chuckled. They had never interacted with each other before, so they were naturally a little nervous. But the major general should also think about it, what is the use of kidnapping a governor?
…
Zhang Yi, Governor Lu and others were walking and chatting.
Governor Lu was very excited and pointed all the way, saying that it was much better than he imagined. He thought it was a land of barren mountains and rivers, but in fact the scenery was very good.
Yes, the mountains and rivers were indeed poor in the past. In recent years, vegetation has grown up, and the river water has become much clearer and can be seen. But compared to Songjiazhai, the natural conditions of Xikou Village and Wanchun Village are still much worse.
When we arrived at the big stone house in Xikou Village, everyone sat down and introduced each other. The atmosphere was very relaxed.
After all, we agreed to do business, and the attitudes of both parties were very friendly.
After we sat down, someone served hot tea.
The Huang brothers arranged for a sumptuous luncheon to be prepared, and the best delicacies and game were served.
Governor Lu became even more happy and said.
"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, when Fenghua came to me and said that he wanted to start trading activities with you, I didn't want to believe it."
He said that this was impossible. Who didn't know that the Mopan City area was a barbarian land, undeveloped and had nothing.
However, when Xu Fenghua put all kinds of products there, Governor Lu was shocked, especially the 100 Tang poems and the 100 words of various scholars, which are the quintessence of the Chinese nation.
Although the United States of China adopts a Western model, it is culturally inclined to Confucianism. Their leader, President Li Haotang, believes that we should follow a path of combining China and the West, combining traditional culture with advanced systems.
Zhang Yi knew that this kind of combination had successful precedents in history, but he had not understood the thoughts of the people and could not easily draw conclusions about the combination of Little China. Judging from the situation of the businessmen, their moral standards were not very good.
high.
In addition, compared to Jiyuan General Wang Zheng, Governor Lu Wang is a civilized person, at least on the surface, but compared with Chen Yiyi, commander of the Xinhui Military Region, Governor Lu Wang has the cunning air of a politician.
From the leaders of these regions of the three countries, Zhang Yi seems to be able to see the general situation of the development of the three countries. At present, the highest-ranking person he has come into contact with is Vice Premier Sun of Greater China. Zhang Yi does not have a good evaluation of this person. In one sentence,
He may be an opportunist who has infiltrated the upper echelons of the government, with no culture but no character.
"As the saying goes, seeing is believing," Zhang Yi said with a smile. "When the flowers bloom in spring and the roads are clear, please go to Mopan City for a walk and take a look. You will know that we are not what we used to be."
"I'm looking forward to this day, Mr. Zhang," Governor Lu nodded. "In fact, President Li also attaches great importance to opening up this trade route."
"Have you gone to ask President Li for instructions?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised.
"Yes, Brother Yi," Xu Fenghua said, "After I visited Governor Lu, Governor Lu went to ask President Li for instructions, and we only came after getting permission."
"I am President Li's special envoy and was ordered to come to negotiate with Mr. Zhang. Haha, our cooperation should not be limited to business." Governor Lu Wang said with a smile.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but think that things had become complicated again.
