Han Shizu

Undoubtedly, as the capital and the center of political and military scriptures, Suihua City is the largest and most prosperous city in Andong Kingdom. It may not be comparable to Liaoyang in terms of scale, and it is even comparable to the capitals of Northeast states such as Jin, Shen, Tong, and Huanglong. There are differences, but the degree of excitement is not weak at all.

After all, a "king" always has some special appeal, and a king who works hard and devotes himself to development can give a city or even a country a team of wings to take off.

Today's Suihua is the result of nearly 20 years of painstaking efforts by Liu Xu, leading Anton's officials and people to build it. Of course, the essence of Anton's development achievements over the years is also mostly presented in Suihua.

Liu Wenyuan and his party drove fast and finally returned to Suihua City in the evening.Compared with the darkness, silence, and terror in the countryside, Suihua City is a completely different world. The lights of thousands of houses adorn the royal city under the cold night, giving people a sense of peace.

Suihua City is basically newly built. The traces of Khitan and its previous rule were covered up in the process of Suihua’s development and expansion. Looking at the city, from the layout, there is no obvious difference between Suihua and most cities in the Han Dynasty, only in the architectural style. There are some characteristics of adapting to the environment, the layout is loose, the slope is large and the wall is thick.

Counting the officials and the army, there are only over 8.2 people in Suihua City. Excluding those itinerant merchants, the resident population is even smaller. However, the surrounding area of ​​Suihua City is [-] miles away, and it is solid and thick, making it easy to see at a glance. Seeing the strong defense force, Liu Xu spent a lot of money and manpower to build Suihua City.

Building nests to attract phoenixes, although phoenixes did not attract them, but some "grass chickens" came after hearing the news, which was also very important to Anton and Suihua, and played a significant role in promoting its development.

In Suihua on a snowy night, the wind is cold and the air is condensed, but the atmosphere is warm and full of fireworks. The air seems to be filled with the smell of wine. In Anton, wine has always been indispensable.

In addition to the rustling of snow and the barking of dogs from time to time, the most frequent whispers and private conversations in the houses.The homes of the scholars are steaming, fighting against the severe cold. The warm kang has become the most frequent activity area for the scholars and residents of Suihua in winter, especially at night.

When Liu Wenyuan returned to the city, the sky above Suihua City was still full of smoke, so he didn't care to pay attention to it, and arranged for the soldiers to return to the palace and return to the palace, intending to return to their orders.

The Anton Prince's Mansion is the former Anton Governor's Mansion. It has not been remodeled, it just returned a sign, but its temperament has changed a lot.Someone suggested to Liu Xu that he needs to build a royal palace in Suihua City, separating the inside and outside, so as to emphasize the king's prestige.

Of course, this was rejected by Liu Xu, but a plan has already been put forward, and the construction schedule will be arranged only after the money, food and manpower are satisfied.After all, Anton is a country now, and it also needs to have its own palace. This is where "rituals" lie, and early cultivation is beneficial to late cultivation.

As soon as he entered the palace, Liu Wenyuan sensed that something was wrong. It seemed that a distinguished guest was coming, and he asked the respectfully waiting door official, "Is there a visitor?"

"Going back to Your Highness, it is King Rao Le who is here, and His Majesty is hosting a banquet in the hall. His Majesty has ordered that His Highness go to the hall to pay a visit when he returns home!" the door official explained.

Hearing this, Liu Wenyuan's face flashed with surprise, after thinking for a while, he stuffed the whip in his hand into the arms of the entry officer, patted the snow on his body, and walked all the way to the main hall of the palace.

In the lobby, in a peaceful atmosphere, Liu Xu showed great importance to Rao Le King Liu Xin's arrival, warmly greeted him, dragged his sick body, and hosted a banquet in person.

It has been quite a while, and Liu Xu appeared in the court again, the last time he stood up for Liu Wenyuan for the sake of An Fuxing's heart.Although the specifications of the banquet were high, there were not too many people. The only person accompanying the king was Geng Jixun, the Minister of State, and the rest were waiters.

The complexion on Liu Xu's face was really ugly. It was obvious that his illness hadn't eased in the slightest. Because of this, there was no act of persuading him to drink at the banquet.However, seeing that Liu Xu was weak even when speaking, and even gave people a feeling of exertion, Liu Xin couldn't help but asked in front of the room: "Brother, I think your complexion is not good. If you are not feeling well, you should take a rest earlier. I rushed to see you, really It's reckless"

Hearing this, Liu Xu waved his hand lightly, with a pale smile on his face, coughed a few times, and said, "It's okay, we are the only brothers here in this bitter cold place. Fourteenth Brother is visiting, I really feel sorry for you." I'm happy, but this body is really bad, so I can't drink with you. Prime Minister, you have to drink with King Rao Le, and you must entertain him."

"Yes!" Geng Jixun clasped his hands in response, and Fang raised his glass to Liu Xin: "My lord, on behalf of Anton, I offer you a toast!"

Liu Xin looked at Geng Jixun, then turned to look at Liu Xu, drank in one gulp, put down the glass, sighed and said to Liu Xu, "Brother, let me be blunt, this visit to Suihua is not only asking for help, but also asking for advice!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Xu still had a gentle demeanor, and said with a light smile: "It seems that the fourteenth brother is in trouble for Zhi Rao Le, but it doesn't matter, we are in the Northeast, and we should watch and help each other. There is no stinginess in what can be provided!"

In fact, Liu Xu knew something about Rao Le Country's situation. After all, it was a true country of brothers, the only feudal country in the Northeast, and a large part of Rao Le Country's territory was allocated from Anton.

Xingguo City, where Liu Xin's current Wangcheng is located, is only five hundred miles away from Suihua, which can be said to be very close at hand.In Rao Leguo's place, there may be some Anton's eyeliner.

It is also a newly established feudal state. Compared with Anton, Rao Le State is much more bleak, after all, its background is too shallow.The land is not small, but the city is only three or five, and the population is less than [-].

I will not mention it during the Khitan rule, but under the rule of Yanshan Beidao, they were almost indifferent. The Daosi's business focus has always been on the old place of the Xi clan, and the whole north, that is, the Linhuang Mansion, paid a little more attention.

In fact, as far as Yanshan North Road is concerned, the establishment of Rao Le Kingdom is not distressed by Yanshan North Road, and even feels a sense of relief from the burden.And the current Rao Le King's city Xingguo is not as good as a county in the inland, just to "vacate" the place for Rao Le King, Yanshan North Road has taken great care to clean it up, otherwise it will be more bleak.

Compared with the vigorous reform and customization of An Dong Country, Rao Le Country is deserted. Up to now, it is only a grass-roots team, which can't even fill the basic organizational structure of a country. The little support from the court is not enough.

When Liu Xin was in Rao Le, he was still a little passionate at the beginning. He visited all the cities under his rule, but was soon disappointed. This is really not as good as a county in the Central Plains. Slowly, Liu Xin fell into the vast grassland
To make matters worse, with the implementation of the Raole-Andong border and the erection of boundary markers, the population originally subordinate to Andong moved east one after another, preferring to give up their original land and pastures.

Liu Xin's Rao Le Kingdom is very desolate and pitiful, and Liu Xin obviously lacks experience in governing the country. After careful consideration, he finally decided to come east to learn from Liu Xu, the big brother, and ask for help.The most important thing is to stop the Rao Le people from continuing to move out. If it continues, his country will be empty.

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I am the king of Rao Le, and I am really ashamed to be the king of Rao Le, and I am even ashamed to see others! I am Rao Le Country, I am afraid that I am not as good as a big county in the Central Plains. Lang Guo'." Liu Xin looked at Liu Xu and said to himself.
