Fortunately, they just passed by here!

No one dared to stay too much, and went to the city lord's mansion in a panic.

In the lobby, Zhao Rui sat there steadily without being angry and threatening.

"How many of you are from the Imperial Academy!"

Most of the officials stood up immediately.

I don’t know if they were scared by the scene just now, but they didn’t dare to look up at Zhao Rui when they entered.

The other ministers who have been in the court seem more relaxed.

"My minister, Xu Maocai from the Ministry of Commerce will meet with Your Highness!"

Zhao Rui was a little surprised: "Xu Maocai? Why are you here?"

Xu Maocai smiled embarrassedly.

"After the demise of Southern Chu, Weichen returned to the Da Shangshang. He originally wanted to stay with Huangfu Shangshu to serve as a job. A few days ago, he heard that His Highness was going to select officials from the Ministry of Commerce for Yanbei City, Weichen submitted a memorial and followed him!"

Zhao Rui got up and walked into the hall, patted Xu Maocai on the shoulder with great appreciation.

"You are really the first to be able to get a memorial and run to this bitter and cold place!"

Xu Maocai shook his head repeatedly, then walked to the map, stretched out his hand and slid from the northeast forest to the southern border.

"Your Highness, after the world is unified, Yanbei City will no longer be a bitter and cold place. Every year, there are as many as one million people entering the northeast mountain forest and settle down. Moreover, this is a must-pass road for the business roads in the north and south. It will be a place of prosperity in a few years!"

Zhao Rui has a little more appreciation for Xu Maocai. I am afraid there are not many people in this world who have such insights!

"Very good, I remember that you made some contributions when you destroyed Nan Chu before!"

Xu Maocai was immediately embarrassed: "The little credit is worth noting, and the court gave him the title of guerrilla general!"

"Guerrilla General? Seventh-rank official?" Zhao Rui's face became more confused: "The military ministers of the Ministry of Commerce that I gave you were all fifth-rank. Why did he even surrender after making contributions?"

"Part-in-one!" Xu Maocai hurriedly responded: "Part-in-one!"

Zhao Rui turned around and wrote a memorial, which made people rushed to Luocheng for 800 miles.

"From now on, Xu Maocai was promoted to the Minister of Commerce and promoted to the general and appointed as the lord of Yanbei City! He will arrange all the positions of officials in the city!"

Everyone present was stunned, their eyes a little dull.

Xu Maocai is only in his thirties. He is neither from the great scholar nor a powerful student in that area. Why is he so popular?

No matter how many people were, they announced their appointment, and they left the city lord's mansion.

After passing Yanbei City, Yanshan Pass was set up by the Northern Yan to prevent the Hu people. Although it is abandoned, it has become the largest commercial market in the north. Its lively and prosperous Chengdu is comparable to Luocheng!

Zhao Rui and the other two walked slowly on the crowded streets, holding their horses.

"Your Highness!" Ziyun handed the kettle to Zhao Rui: "After passing this place, it's outside the gates. Should we rest for a night before leaving?"

Zhao Rui took a sip of water and looked at the bustling streets.

"Okay, I see the fat sheep here is good, go and try it!"

Zhao Weirui was immediately excited and led the horse to the stall next to him.

The stall owner smiled when he saw the three of them.

"Three, what should I eat?"
Chapter completed!
