Chenyue, who entered Liaodong via Hulu City, wandered around the prefecture and county for seven or eight days and finally arrived at Anshun City, the capital of Shunzhou.

In the past few days, they stopped at several county houses. Chenyue and Leng Guinan visited them incognito as if they were visiting privately. What they saw were scenes of people living and working in peace and contentment, which made people happy.

On the official road not far from the city gate, Chen Yue and Leng Guinan were riding horses side by side.

Although Leng Guinan was a civil servant, in his early years he was a businessman who traveled all over the country. Riding a horse from the north to the south was a piece of cake for him.

"Along the way, the lives of the people in Liaodong are really good. There is a prosperous scene everywhere." Chenyue raised his head and glanced at the sun, then looked at Leng Guinan with a smile and said.

Spring has begun, and the temperature is gradually warming up. Chenyue, who does not need to wear thick military uniforms, feels very comfortable.

Leng Guinan was from Liaodong, so he was naturally happier than Chenyue. He replied: "Shunzhou and Tanzhou are rich places on the border. Although they are not as prosperous as Jiangnan, every household can still do it if they have enough food."

of.

If I hadn't fallen into the hands of the Jin for decades, why would I have spent these two years recuperating?"

Since the recovery of Liaodong, people's livelihood in Shunzhou and Tanzhou has recovered rapidly. In addition, Liaodong's black soil produces a lot of grain, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going. The life of the ordinary people has quickly become easier.

The days of having one meal but no next meal are finally gone forever.

And there was an unexpected surprise. During the past fifty years, many people from Liaodong slowly moved away just to avoid the swords of the Jin. But after Liaodong was recovered, these people came back with their families and gave birth to

Liaodong has gained a lot of new population.

Compared with Liangzhou, Shuntan has an inherent advantage, because in the final analysis, Liangzhou is a border pass and will experience wars from time to time. However, Shuntan is preceded by the two states of Yanyun and Jianmen Pass.

The natural barrier has become the safest place in the entire northern defense line.

If they want to conquer Shuntan, the Yan army not only has to capture Yanyun and Yanyun, but also has to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives to defeat Jianmen Pass. This is undoubtedly as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Therefore, many merchants who come to the northern border to do business will be more inclined to open shops in Shunzhou and Tanzhou.

Looking at the Xiongcheng prostrate on the ground in front of him, Chenyue pointed to the huge plain in front of the city with a far-reaching gaze and said: "There are tens of thousands of corpses of golden soldiers buried under the ground."

Leng Guinan grinned: "It's just used to warn foreign enemies that our Liaodong is a place where they will never come back from now on!"

When the Northern Liang Army entered the Liao Dynasty, the first battle was fought in Shunzhou. All 50,000 Jin soldiers were lost in one day, and a huge Beijing temple rose from the ground and stood outside the city of Anshun, inspiring the people and the Jin people.

be terrified.

The bloody capital made many people in Liaodong cover their faces and weep. Only blood can wash away the blood feud.

"Drive~"

Chenyue pulled the reins: "Let's go, Master Shen and the others are still waiting in front."

"Drive~"

"Da da da~"

I knew before the New Year that Chenyue was going to inspect Liaodong, so Shen Xiufu, the governor of Shunzhou, came here early today. He was accompanied by a resolute-looking military commander, wearing the standard armor of the Liang Army, with bulging arms.

Swelling, you can tell at a glance that he is a fierce general.

When he saw Chen Yue, the general bowed and saluted:

"Cui Long, the commander-in-chief of Shunzhou, has met the prince!"

"General Cui, are you still used to living in Liaodong without the Zuoqi Army?" Chenyue chuckled.

The burly middle-aged general in front of him came from the Northern Liang Zuo Cavalry Army under Xue Meng. He had outstanding achievements and was one of the first officers of the Zuo Cavalry Army.

Although Cui Long was originally just a partial general in the army, in terms of military merit, he was more than enough to be promoted to one level. Unfortunately, there was only one deputy commander in the Zuo Cavalry Army, so he was stuck there.

This is also a bad thing about the Liang Army. There are too many generals who can fight, but there are only so many official titles and they cannot be divided. Many people's official positions do not match their own merits.

When the Liang Army was first established, the post of General Shunzhou was concurrently held by Yue Zhanpeng. However, when the frontline war broke out, Yue Zhanpeng led the Liao Army to the front line and had no time to worry about Shunzhou military affairs.

Chenyue happened to think of Cui Long, so he transferred him directly.

The chief generals of the four states in Liaodong: Cui Long, Zuoqiu, Wang Shouren and Yun Chen. Only Cui Long was not from Liangzhou. There was no way. In order to bring out the pretense of suppressing the Liao army, basically all the elite generals from Liaodong were transferred to the suppressing force.

The Liao army really couldn't find a suitable candidate for Shunzhou general.

Cui Long smiled cheerfully: "I'm used to it. The customs and customs in Liaodong are not much different from those in Liangzhou."

Shen Xiufu also chimed in and said: "General Cui is very good at running the army. He trained the new recruits to howl. Now the military style of Shunzhou is probably not inferior to that of Beiliang."

"Oh? After all, he is one of Xue Meng's subordinates. He is so ruthless!" Chen Yue laughed and gave a thumbs up.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

Shen Xiufu turned aside and said, "Your Majesty, let's not wait outside the city and go into the city."

Chenyue waved his riding whip: "Okay, let me see what Anshun City is like now!"

…

A few people marched slowly into Anshun City, with a few officials leading the way, while two hundred followers on white horses hung behind leisurely, attracting the attention of the people on the street.

There are various shops on both sides of the wide street, including wine shops, teahouses, music shops, and grocery stores.

It was much better than when Chenyue had just regained Shunzhou. At that time, all businesses were withered, the population was sparse, and the few remaining merchants had to face bullying and difficulties from the Jin soldiers all day long.

If it weren't for the difficulty of leaving their homeland, I'm afraid all the people in Liaodong would have fled within a few decades.

Leng Guinan showed great curiosity. He looked around and saw that every time he came to Shunzhou, he was on official business. This was the first time he had leisure time to wander around.

As a native of Liaodong, he is happy from the bottom of his heart to see Liaodong getting better day by day.

Chenyue looked around and said with a smile: "Master Shen, it's thanks to you that you came to Liaodong as an official, otherwise Shunzhou would not be what it is today."

Shen Xiufu, who had gray hair on his temples, lamented: "When I resigned in the capital, I was fortunate enough to be recommended by Minister Xue to come to Liaodong. Otherwise, I would be just an old man in the fields now.

I would also like to thank the prince for giving me an opportunity to contribute to my hometown."

As the first capital official to enter Liaodong, Shen Xiufu can be said to have witnessed all the processes of Liaodong from its recovery to its development and growth, just like watching his own children grow up day by day.

"Seller, how do you sell this?"

"What about this one? And this one?"

Leng Guinan was as excited as a child, walking around speaking an authentic Liaodong dialect, making everyone laugh.

Chenyue pointed at Leng Guinan and joked: "Master Shen, Guinan is probably going to bleed a lot today."
