It has just dawned, but there are already many ships in operation on the dock, and there are also many workers busy in front and back, making it a busy scene.
"This is Incheon City, the capital of Liangshan in Goryeo, and the Governor's Office is here." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"It's really busy here!" Li Gang said in surprise.
"That's natural. The trade from the Central Plains to Korea and the trade from Korea to Japan all pass through here. It's impossible not to be busy." Wu Dong said with a smile.
Li Gang nodded lightly. He came to Korea this time to do something. From the moment he set foot on this land, he completed the change of role and observed the place carefully.
In addition to being busy, another impression that Incheon City gave him was that it was clean. There was no dirt or debris on the streets, and the roads were very neat. You could always see handymen cleaning the roads. Li Gang had visited many cities in China before.
, but none can compare with the Incheon City in front of you. Even Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, is not as clean as Incheon City.
"Grand Governor, what's the use of being so clean in the city?" Dai Zong asked in confusion on the other side.
"At least it makes people feel relaxed and happy, and makes them like this city? Don't you think so?" Wu Dong said with a smile.
"That's true." Dai Zong nodded.
In fact, keeping the city clean has many benefits. It is good for the health of urban residents, improving the external image of the city, etc., but it is more difficult to explain these. As a descendant of later generations, Wu Dong cares about these very much.
, but if it is said out, Dai Zong and others may not care about it.
Li Gang and others walked around and took a look. They were not very fast and were very interested in everything here. They met many people along the way, all of whom spoke Chinese. If they had not come by boat, they would have thought they had arrived.
Han Chinese city.
"Grand Governor, how many Han people are there in Incheon now?" Li Gang asked.
"About 300,000," Wu Dong said.
"So many?" Li Gang couldn't believe it.
"Originally there were not so many. Since Liangshan occupied Incheon City, many Han people have settled here, and the population has slowly increased." Wu Dong said.
"Mr. Li, Incheon City does not have the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no oppression by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty. You are free and free. As long as you abide by the law, no one dares to do anything to you. For a city like this, businessmen will naturally rush here.
, their families are naturally willing to live here." Hu Sanniang said with a smile.
Compared with Incheon City, the domestic environment is really bad, with all kinds of excessive taxes and government oppression. After staying here for a while, no one is willing to go back to China. In fact, Hu Sanniang also intends to let her brother Hu Cheng
Moving to Incheon City, unfortunately, Hu Cheng couldn't bear to part with the large land at home, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Incheon is located overseas. It's really admirable that the governor can manage Incheon City like this." Li Gang couldn't help but say.
"These are not managed by me, these are managed by Gongsun Sheng of the Military Aircraft Department. All civil affairs in the entire Goryeo, including Incheon City, Jeju Island, Daebu Island, Ganghwa Island and other places, are under the management of Gongsun Sheng.
What do you think when you come to Korea this time, you will attack him first?" Wu Dong said.
"Okay." Li Gang nodded.
Wu Dong was still a little uneasy at first, fearing that Li Gang would not be willing to submit to others. In any case, he was a Jinshi, and he was a dignified imperial official, while Gongsun Sheng was just a Taoist priest. But now looking at Li Gang's expression, there is no trace of it.
After being reluctant, Wu Dong felt relieved.
Li Gang was still observing everything in Incheon City and found that the people here were in good spirits and gave people a sense of vitality. In contrast, the people under the government's rule were poor and oppressed, and everyone was in trouble.
The expression is numb, the difference between the two is huge.
If anyone has seen the photos of the lower class Chinese people taken by foreigners in the late Qing Dynasty, they will find that the Chinese people at that time had almost no expressions and everyone seemed very numb. The same reason is true. Because the miserable life and bleak future will make
Everyone became numb.
However, Li Gang was used to such scenes in Liangshanbo, so he didn't take it too seriously. Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu and others frowned in thought. Han Shizhong secretly said: "The people here live much happier lives than the people in the imperial court."
Originally, Han Shizhong surrendered unwillingly, but when he arrived at Incheon City, he was in a much better mood. In any case, it is really extraordinary that Liangshan can manage Incheon City like this. It seems that Liangshan is really
They work for the people, which is very different from ordinary grass bandits.
The mood of Dai Zong, Li Jun and others is also very complicated. Speaking of which, Shaohua Mountain, which they once operated, is the same as Incheon City. It is the territory of the anti-thieves and grass bandits. But Shaohua Mountain is a pure den of thieves, not as good as the countryside.
, and this place is much more prosperous than many cities in the imperial court, and there is no comparison between the two.
"Grand Governor, you are much more powerful than Brother Song Jiang and Song." Dai Zong couldn't help but said.
When he was in Huashan, Dai Zong was extremely disappointed with Song Jiang. He felt that Song Jiang, a big man in the world, was not worth mentioning, with virtue but no talent. Now that he was in Incheon City, he looked down upon Song Jiang even more.
"Brother Song is a kind and righteous man, and I admire him very much," Wu Dong said.
Song Jiang also has his own abilities. He is good at attracting people's hearts and has a unique charm. He is much better than Wu Dong in this regard. Dai Zong is a villain, so after leaving Song Jiang, he immediately belittled Song Jiang. Over there, Li Jun, Zhang Heng and others
After hearing Dai Zong's words, they couldn't help but frown. Speaking of which, they all followed Song Jiang for a while, and when they left Song Jiang, they all felt a little guilty. Now Dai Zong belittled Song Jiang, but it also involved Wu Dong. Although they were inconvenient to talk, they
His expression is not very good either.
"I wonder if Brother Song has gone to Taihu Lake?" Li Jun said after a long while.
"He should have gone. Taihu Lake is a good place, somewhat similar to Liangshan Lake. After going there, he should be safe and sound. If he is really in danger... I will save him again," Wu Dong said.
Wu Dong said this just to reassure Li Jun, Zhang Heng and others. Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Jun and Zhang Heng were secretly happy in their hearts. Li Jun said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
"Let's go, the Governor's Mansion is just ahead. We're finally home." Wu Dong said with a smile.
****
Wu Dong and others did not notify the Korean authorities when they arrived, so they were not recognized until they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, and someone hurriedly came out to receive them.
Li Shishi had already run out, and she was very excited. She had been away from Wudong for more than four months, and she missed her so much. When she was in Cuifeng Tower, she didn't feel anything when she was alone, and she didn't feel lonely.
That's right. But after following Wu Dong and enjoying the warm love between men and women, it felt a little lonely and unbearable to be separated again.
If she hadn't been careful to be reserved, she would have even wanted to throw herself into Wu Dong's arms right now.
Wu Dong smiled at her and said: "Master, come here quickly, I will introduce you to some friends."
Immediately, Li Gang, Han Shizhong, Dai Zong, Li Jun and others were introduced to Master Li. Master Li hurriedly saluted and said: "It is really a blessing for Liangshan that you all come to Liangshan. I would like to thank you all on behalf of the governor."
She acted gracefully and generously, which was very different from ordinary women of this era, and everyone couldn't help but marvel.
After everyone met, Wu Dong arranged a place for them to live, then prepared meals for them and let them take a rest.
In addition, Wu Dong has already gone to notify Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi of the arrival of Li Jun, Zhang Heng and others.
There were only three people left in the room: Wu Dong, Li Shishi, and Hu Sanniang. Wu Dong could no longer hold back his lovesickness, hugged Li Shishi tightly, kissed Li Shishi softly, and said: "Shishi, you really miss me."
Master Li smiled sweetly and said, "I miss my husband too, and even wish I could go back to China to find you. It's great to have you back now."
The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Hu Sanniang next to them could only smile.
Finally stopping, Li Shishi looked at Hu Sanniang and said with a smile: "Sister Hu's family, your good relationship with your husband has come to an end?"
Hu Sanniang's face turned red and she was speechless. Master Li knew the result as soon as he saw it, and he smiled coquettishly again.
"Master, how is the situation in Korea?" Wu Dong said.
When leaving Goryeo, Wu Dong asked Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng to hand over the official document to the governor's office and asked Li Shishi to help him refer to it, so Li Shishi should have a good understanding of the situation in Goryeo.
"Everything in Goryeo is normal and developing very well. After the New Year, when Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong and others were busy in Jeju Island, they were in Jeju Island for the past two days and just came back recently." Li Shishi said.
The two were talking when someone suddenly reported Hua Rong's arrival. Wu Dong nodded and hurriedly asked Hua Rong to come over.
Hua Rong was very happy to see Wu Dong with a smile on his face. He already knew about the marriage between Wu Song and Hua Xiaomei. From now on, he and Wu Dong were considered in-laws, and the relationship between the two families was much closer.
"This is a wedding candy. Wu Song and Hua Xiaomei asked me to give it to you while you were away." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"Okay! I will go back to Liangshanbo and meet them when I have time." Hua Rong laughed.
But he is really busy now. There are so many things going on in the Goryeo War Zone that it is almost impossible for Hua Rong to leave.
"Hua Rong, I came back this time with a lot of talents who can enter the army. There is Dai Zong, who is known as the magical Taibao. He travels hundreds of miles a day and can enter the intelligence office. There are also Li Jun, Zhang Heng,
Tong Wei, Tong Meng and others were Zhang Shun's former friends in Jiangzhou. They were all heroes in the water and could enter the navy. There was also Han Shizhong, who was originally a general of the imperial court, but he was outstanding in both martial arts and military skills.
Far beyond the average person, I want him to follow you first." Wu Dong said with a smile.
"Oh..." Hua Rong nodded. He had heard of Dai Zong, Li Jun and others. These people were very famous in the world and should have some real talent and learning. But Han Shizhong, he had never heard of it.
This person then said: "Han Shizhong? A general of the imperial court? Is he really capable?"
