I’m The King

Mengchi, a small town back then, has now become the headquarters of the Third Military Region. Of course Wang Jian remembers this place. This is the last place they passed by, which is considered to be a place of human population. The place where the army passed at that time was here. Nothing was left, not even people, because he had no heavy soldiers at the time, and all the people here were taken away by him, carrying food and drinking water for his army. These people can go. Those who have survived the desert do not save one. In the end, when they fought with the indigenous forces in the desert, the 10% that survived went to ten or nine out of ten. The number of people who survived is really very few.

On top of the broken wall that was used in the past, now a brand-new city has risen again. Compared with the past, it is really a sky and an underground. The horizontal and vertical streets have all been hardened with cement. The houses on both sides of the street are uneven. Some are built of stone, some are built of wood, and there are even a lot of thatched houses. What Wang Jian saw in front of him, but **Pig**Pig**Island** novel www. is that full of vitality.

There are a lot of people on the street with messy accents, coming and going in a hurry. On both sides of the street, there are many shops, even if you stand outside, you can see the goods inside.

"It's a little messed up here, but this year the road from Mengchi to Jishi County has just been completed and the supplies can be transported smoothly. The general doesn't know. The cost of transporting goods here is too high, 10%. The price of goods, when it reaches here, does not rise by more than three or four times, it will be at a loss, but now it is different. The price will naturally come down when the road is connected. And there is a lack of everything here. The noses of those merchants are really a spirit. Ah, as soon as the road was passed, a swarm of people swarmed over. The price of the land in Mengchi was surging upwards, and the rent of the house was even more expensive per day. It broke our Commander Le." An official of the Third Military Region who greeted him was full of pride in his words.

"Why are all shops facing the street?" Wang Jian asked curiously.

"This is the credit of our Deputy Commander Zhao." The officials were in great interest. "A year ago there were not many people in Mengchi, but when the road was built, Deputy Commander Zhao ordered people to start building houses here. Lu, I had a dispute with Commander He Xing about this at the beginning. Commander Helan thought that it shouldn’t be such a waste of money and food, but in the end, under the insistence of Deputy Commander Zhao, he reluctantly agreed. We didn’t understand at the time. Ah, who would have thought that as soon as the road was repaired and merchants swarmed in, this house immediately became a cornucopia. Now in Mengchi, the civil affairs are all under the control of Deputy Commander Zhao. Commander Helan thinks that civil affairs are in charge. , Deputy Commander Zhao is much stronger than him."

"Then your Deputy Commander Zhao made a fortune?" Wang Jian asked with a smile.

The official glanced at Wang Jian strangely, "How can Deputy Commander Zhao make a fortune? These houses were built with the money of the Third Military Region. These houses are also public property, and all income must go to the public. I heard that today The deputy finance officer has to send someone to review it, because Mengchi is developing rapidly, and this rent alone generates a lot of income every year."

Niu Ben laughed: "It seems that our Minister Wang is hitting your Mengchi's idea again. The annual appropriation given by the court to you the Third Military Region will shrink as soon as you see it." He has been in Jicheng for a long time. The style of the finance minister is very clear.

"That's right, the two commanders know it too, but the headquarters doesn't care. According to this development momentum, within a few years, our Third Military Region can become self-sufficient. If you have less each year, you have less, as long as you don’t all of a sudden. The cut is excellent." The officials were confident and authentic. "Commander Helan said that our Third Military Region cannot hold back the whole country and cannot be regarded as a burden to the country. On the contrary. We should work hard and make our contribution to the country."

"Good point!" Mei Hua nodded repeatedly.

Wang Jian took a deep breath, confident, energetic, and ambitious, this is the portrayal of this emerging city. He Lanxiong, the Huns, is one of the most powerful figures in the Han country today, but what is worrying is that the Wang family can be said to be as deep as the sea with the Huns. At the time, under the Horan Mountain, the blood of tens of thousands of Huns dyed the land red. . If He Lanxiong wants to embarrass him, this time is a good opportunity. At this moment, there are only a dozen guards around him. The cavalry who came back with him, together with Mei Hua's cavalry, are now placed outside Mengchi.

I think about it again, but I feel relieved. I came here to have an appointment with Gao Yuan. He Lanxiong is not a foolish man. He will not spoil the great things of Gao Yuan. At most, he will humiliate himself, but he is different now. When he fled in embarrassment back then, as Gao Yuan said, he is also a man who has opened up new frontiers and built a huge career. Even if he is not as good as Gao Yuan, he will not lose to He Lanxiong.

Thinking of this, my heart feels at ease. When I looked up, I was shocked. I just silently moved forward thinking about my heart. I had already walked a long way before I knew it. A huge building stood in front of me. It is higher than the city wall of Xianyang.

The loud bugle sounded, and after a melodious tune was played, various instruments such as drums and gongs also sounded. Together with the bugle, it actually constituted a powerful and exciting music.

Wang Jian looked down from the towering building. On the huge square in front of him, soldiers were standing upright, and a large group of people were walking towards him.

"General, our Deputy Commander Zhao has come to greet you personally." The official on the side of the companion smiled.

Wang Jian got off his horse and got off the horse. The people on the opposite side got closer and closer. It was indeed Zhao Xilie. He was also a powerful figure in the country of Zhao at the beginning. He also had a number of acquaintances with Wang Jian. He did not escape the fate of destruction, but he did not expect that Zhao Xilie would be transformed and become a high-ranking official of the Han country. When Niu Ben talked about these situations, Wang Jian was still very moved.

"Welcome back, General Wang!" Zhao Xilie smiled, holding a fist as a salute. Wang Jian is not an officer under Dahan’s command, but a guest, and Zhao Xilie’s identity is not under Wang Jian, whether he was in the past or now. He will naturally not salute Wang Jian, but a large group of people followed Zhao Xilie. , They all cut and delivered a military salute to Wang. Although most people in the Third Military Region did not have much direct contact with the army, almost all the positions in the headquarters were up and down. They are appointed by military officers, and they practice military law.

"Brother Zhao. We're seeing each other again, don't come here unharmed?" Wang Jian asked as he returned a gift.

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your caring. I am very good now. Look at it, the belly is growing out. The previous armor said that nothing can fit in, so I didn't wear it today, which only made Brother Wang laugh." Smiled.

"My father..." Wang Jian asked tentatively.

"Oh, my father has now retired and retired in Dayan Lake. There are many good friends living there. My father is very happy wherever he is. Some time ago, I visited once and my face was red. I thought I would disturb him. He just lived there for a day and drove me back!" Zhao Xilie said, paused, and then said: "Brother Wang, I also went to the tomb of General Wang and Lao to make sacrifices. These years If you’re not here, in fact, those old friends who live by the Big Wild Goose Lake would go to toast a glass of wine during the holidays."

Wang Jian's body shook, when he fled desperately. Only when the father's bones are gone, those Han people are afraid that they will cut off their father's head to raise their power. Every time I think about this, I feel painful. Only when the cow ran to him did he get the definitive news. Back then, his father committed suicide and ordered the soldiers to light the house. But the fire was immediately extinguished by the Han army who had killed him. His father's body was not humiliated, but was buried by Gao Yuan, and the heart disease was put down.

"Dear elders, Wang Jian must be grateful for the hospitality this time." Wang Jian said sincerely.

"The side of Dayan Lake is extraordinary now. This time, where is the king meeting you, you will definitely see them at that time." Zhao Xilie smiled: "But since you are here with me, naturally you have to hug the two. God, now the road from here to Dayan County has been repaired. The ground is filled with cement. You don’t need to ride a horse when you go. I have prepared the best four-wheeled carriage for you, but I will arrive in a few days. ."

"Mengchi, the change is too great." Wang Jian looked up at the building behind Zhao Xilie.

Zhao Xilie nodded, "Compared with when you left, it is naturally huge, Brother Wang, what do you think of this building?" He turned around, stood side by side with Wang, and proudly cut to Wang.

"I have never seen a building like this." Wang Jian said honestly.

"This building is made of reinforced concrete. It has four floors. Brother Wang, there are thousands of people working in it. This building is the brain of our Third Military Region." Zhao Xilie said.

"Rebar, cement? Isn't this cement used to pave roads?" He pointed to the ground.

"Of course, cement can both pave roads and build buildings. Buildings built with cement are much stronger than ordinary city walls. Brother Wang, the trebuchet can penetrate the city wall, but it is absolutely impossible to penetrate this building. The wall of the building. Because he uses steel bars as bones and cement as flesh and blood." Zhao Xilie stepped on the foot with his feet, said.

"When Niu Ben talked about Mengchi, I thought there would be a majestic city here." Wang Jian looked around, somewhat puzzled. "Why don't you build a city? Since there are such good things, wouldn't it be solid to build a city?"

"The king said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the heart is the wall, so we big guys don't repair the wall now, and even the walls of Jicheng have been demolished." Zhao Xilie explained.

"The heart is the wall?"

"Yes, the human heart is the wall. The king said that if the human heart is united, it is an indestructible city wall. There are tens of thousands of people in the big man. A broken day." Zhao Xilie said with emotion, "The king makes sense."

Wang Jian stood there for a moment and sighed, "Where is Commander Helan? I should go to visit him. I also understand that Commander Helan still has a knot with me, or I should go and apologize to him. "

Zhao Xilie shook his head: "Brother Wang, don't blame it, Commander Helan didn't ask him to be too big, but a little trouble in the treatment. He rushed to the treatment, not deliberately neglecting Brother Wang. I'm afraid Brother Wang in the past few days I won't see him anymore, but on the return journey, Commander Helan will definitely host a banquet to see you off."

Wang Jian was stunned. Although Zhao Xilie said that there was a small incident, but the highest officer of the Third Military Region of Labor came forward. It was certainly not a small incident, but it was someone else's internal affair, so he was naturally difficult to inquire. (To be continued...)
