I’m The King Chapter 404: : Heart

Sun Xiao liberated Guo Quan, turned him from a slave into a free man, and gained dignity. Wu Kai gave him the status of an official, and when he was about to pass his sixtieth birthday, he turned a new page in his life. If Guo Quan was grateful and respected by these two people, then Gao Yuan, to Guo Quan, belonged entirely to one The existence of Chengji Worship, because those two people who are kind to him are Gao Yuan's subordinates, without Gao Yuan, there would be no these two people, without these two, Guo Quan would only be a slave.

Guo Quan did not expect that he would be summoned by Gao Yuan, which made him terrified. Could it be that he made some mistakes in the process of building the city? Otherwise, with the respect of General Gao, how could he summon such a small person as himself?

When he stepped into the small tent that belonged to him, Guo Quan was still at war with each other. He originally lived with some master craftsmen, but after Wu Kai came, he gave him the status of a worker, and he also had a tent of his own, which was placed next to Wu Kai's three big tents.

There are already many people in the big tent. Take a look, the county magistrate Wu Kai, chief Shi Fan Dengke, and Lord Bo Tanghe are all the main figures of Jishi City. General Xiao was also inside, and the young man sitting cross-legged on the felt blanket on the ground, looking down at the stacks of blueprints surrounded by all the stars, was naturally General Gao.

"Grassman Guo Quan, I have seen General Gao!" Guo Quan's legs gave way, and he knelt down involuntarily, with his hands on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Gao Yuan was taken aback by his actions, but when his subordinates saw him, they just bowed to him. He had never seen such a prostration, but he thought about this person's background. It's clear in my heart.

Amidst the laughter, Gao Yuan stood up, walked straight to Guo Quan, bent down and helped him up with both hands. "Our great hero is here. Get up, get up. You are the engineer in charge of building the city of Jishi, not a grassroots man, Mr. Wu, it seems that you have not fulfilled your duty!"

Guo Quan's bone-thin figure. Being gently pulled by Gao Yuan, he was almost about to leave the ground. Hearing Gao Yuan's words, he trembled with excitement, "Little old man, no, no, no, I'm an official. How can I be an official?"

"No!" Gao Yuan let go of the opponent, took a step back, and looked at Guo Quan up and down, "You have made a great contribution. Today I went to Jishi City and looked around. The city wall was built more than I thought. The progress is much better. And the progress is beyond my expectation. I asked County Magistrate Wu, and he said that this is all due to your scheduling. Seeing you like this, you are a bit overworked!"

Turning around and looking at Wu Kai, "Old Wu, you should pay more attention to such a capable and motivated subordinate. If you are really exhausted, where can you find such a good subordinate?"

"This is the dereliction of duty of the subordinate!" Wu Kai said with a smile, "I will send someone to watch him in the future. When to work, when to eat, and when to sleep, you have to follow the schedule!"

What he said made everyone in the tent laugh, but Guo Quan blushed, raised his head, and boldly said: "General Gao, don't look at me as thin, but my muscles and bones have been tormented. Now I am full of energy, I just want to quickly build this city for my lord. This kind of work is not tiring now, but it was when I was a slave before!" Speaking of this, it seems that something sad has come to mind, Eye circles are red.

Patting him on the shoulder, Gao Yuan said: "The hard days are over, and the good days are yet to come. This city cannot be built overnight. The outer city wall is only the first step. The inner construction may take a long time. You have to take care of your health! By the way, I heard from Wu Kai that you are sure that the outer city wall will be completed ahead of schedule?"

"Yes, the next official is sure!" Guo Quan nodded affirmatively, "The previous plan was to complete the construction of the outer city wall around July, but now due to the participation of Langya craftsmen and their families, the progress has been greatly advanced, and it will be April at the latest. , I am confident that all the outer city walls will be completed, and I will move on to the inner construction.”

"That's good." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "There is just one question, have you thought about it? The materials you have prepared can only complete the construction of the outer city. After you finish the construction in April, the replenishment of materials will be Question, what can you do?"

Guo Quan glanced at Wu Kai, Wu Kai nodded encouragingly, and then he said loudly: "General Gao, after the completion of the outer city wall, we can first build those houses near the city wall. In order to prepare for the war, these houses All need to use stone materials, try not to use flammable materials, and there is no shortage of stone materials here. Jishi Mountain is only called Jishi Mountain because there are many rocks on this mountain that stretches for more than ten miles, and most of them are solid granite. , It is simple and easy to use local materials. There are many craftsmen in Langya, so it is not difficult to imagine."

"This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Well, what else do you think?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"General, I still have an immature idea, and if I say it, I will make fun of the general!" Guo Quan hesitated.

"Speak up!"

"I am very familiar with Jishi Mountain. Jishi City was built under Jishi Mountain. Then, in order to prevent future enemy attacks, Jishi Mountain must be in our own hands. When we mine rocks, we can A road leading to Jishi Mountain will be mined, and some fortresses can be built on the mountain." Guo Quan said carefully.

The tent immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Gao Yuan with strange expressions in their eyes.

Guo Quan was a little scared by everyone's reaction, "General, this is just my wild imagination, I can't count it."

"No!" Gao Yuan looked at the thin old man in front of him appreciatively, "Before you came just now, this was what we were discussing." It's really amazing. Even thought of this."

Wu Kai's face is flushed, and his subordinates are capable. Doesn't it show that his boss has a unique vision? Thinking of Sun Xiao who has used him for so long without giving him a title. , couldn't help but cast a triumphant glance at Sun Xiao.

"In the future, Jishi Mountain will be the training camp for recruits of our Eastern Army! The training camp in Fufeng City will be moved here soon." Gao Yuan looked at Guo Quan, "Of course, Jishi Mountain is so big, this There will inevitably be a recruit training camp on the mountain, and there will be some other camps, let’s talk about this later. Guo Quan. After the new city is completed, the first thing you need to complete is not the house, but the drainage system in the city.”

"Drainage system?" Guo Quan froze for a moment, "The general is talking about those underground ditches?"

"Yes. This matter must be taken seriously. It must not be ignored!" Gao Yuan said seriously, but he remembered the past life in his mind. Whenever heavy rain comes, the whole city is submerged in water, and boats can be rowed on the streets. Now. A new city is being born in his own hands, and such a thing must never happen.

"Jishi City is a plain except for the Jishi Mountain behind it. Once there is a flood, it will be unimaginable. It is close to Jishi Lake, so you must do well in this matter. These The underground ditches can be extended outside the city to build an irrigation system. At that time, it can not only drain the water in the city, but also irrigate the fields outside the city, killing two birds with one stone.”

"I understand!"

"But you have to pay attention. You have to think about the design of this set of ditches. I don't think that when Jishi City will be attacked by foreign enemies, the enemy can sneak in from this place." Gao Yuan laughed.

"Don't worry, general, I can save this!"

"Okay then!" Gao Yuan looked up at the crowd, "That's all for today. You are all busy, so I won't keep you. I'll go for a walk. Well, at this time, Mr. Tang It should be fine, let him accompany me around!"

Everyone bid farewell and left the tent one by one. When Fan Dengke reached the tent door, Gao Yuan suddenly called out, "Fan Changshi!"

Fan Dengke turned around, bowed and said, "Master!"

Gao Yuan waved his hand, "I forgot to tell you, I have already sent someone to Langya to take back your family's slave loan, from now on you are no longer Ye's family slave, but an official official of my Zhengdong Mansion, This time, I didn’t pick up your family members. The main reason is that they are not used to the climate here. After all, they are all native Langya people. If you want them to come, you can send someone back to pick them up after this period of time. They come over."

Fan Denghu opened his mouth a few times, but did not speak, but knelt in front of Gao Yuan, a majestic seven-foot man, with tears in his eyes.

Walking over to help him up, Gao Yuan said with a smile: "A man doesn't cry easily, what are you doing, remember in the future, don't do this again, I am under Gao Yuan, you can bleed, but you are not allowed to cry."

Fan Dengke nodded heavily, "Don't worry, my lord, it won't happen in the future. You can only bleed, not cry. From now on, Jishi City will be Dengke's home. I will take over all my family when I turn back."

"Don't panic for a while, let's talk about it when the weather gets warmer." Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "You have to worry about these tens of thousands of Langya craftsmen."

"It's easy to be admitted, the conditions given to them by the general are too generous, even if they don't pass the imperial examination, they will follow the general wholeheartedly."

"That's not what you said." Gao Yuan shook his head, "Now, they trust you the most. You can walk among them more and talk more. If you want them to really feel at ease, it will not be possible in a short time. I have arrived. I will have a hard time!"

Although the snow has stopped, the cold wind is still bitter. Standing on a section of the city wall that has almost been completed, Gao Yuan looks at this huge, monster-like Jishi City, feeling filled with emotion in his heart, this is his own real home. Turning his head, he looked outside the city at the tents stretching out endlessly. These are his future people and the foundation for his career to soar.

"Get through this year and everything will be fine!" he whispered.

Tang He stood behind him with his hands down, silent.

After a while, Gao Yuan looked away. "How is the development of the Military Justice Department in Jishi City?" He asked suddenly.

"Return to the general, everything is going well. Now Jishicheng Military Justice Department has more than 50 people, and these are all dark sons." Tang He said respectfully.

"Yeah!" Gao Yuan nodded, "The focus now is on the craftsmen in Langya."

"The general suspects there will be nails in there?" Tang He was startled.

"The people in Jishi City ~IndoMTL.com~ Except for Langya artisans, only our army, Huns and slaves are left. There is almost no possibility of these people being nailed, but Langya artisans come Tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of family members, these people are probably not very clean, you know, Langya used to be a complicated place."

"I understand!" Tang He nodded.

"What about the dozens of fleeing Langya people?"

"Magistrate Wu meant that he was quietly dragged outside and killed, and then we retrieved the body and said that he was killed by a horse bandit.

"Try it carefully, there must be nails in it." Gao Yuan said coldly.

"But my identity?" Tang He asked hesitantly. "I can't interrogate these people alone?"

"Your identity, in Jishi City, you can let three people know, Wu Kai, Sun Xiao, and the infantry." Gao Yuan said indifferently: "Sun Xiao will follow me this time, and the infantry will be in charge of the military affairs of the entire Jishi City." Work. I don’t want outsiders to know about Jishi City, at least this year. You will be responsible for the confidential work. After you arrange the dark chess, the Military Judiciary will be officially established in Jishi City. Yamen, when the time comes, I will transfer you there."
