Chapter 743: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (15)

It was already a month later that Zhou Yuan's request for marriage was sent back to Jishi City from Fenzhou. It was already the end of May and the beginning of June. The weather was gradually getting hotter, and shirtless shorts could be seen from time to time on the streets. The young girls had already put on thin gowns and gauze. The area under the control of Zhengdong Mansion was a typical example where the government was poor and the people were rich. When all the ministers of Zhengdong Mansion racked their brains to allocate finances, When the income is high, the common people have extra money in their pockets, which makes every household not hesitate to dress up their children. They have suffered too much when they were young and no longer want their children to have sex. Live that kind of hard life.

The result of having extra money in the pocket is reflected in the market, which is incomparable prosperity and unlimited business opportunities, attracting countless businessmen. Silk from the far south actually appears on the market, although the price Expensive, but still in short supply.

&n~ Pig~ Pig~ Island ~ Novel www.zhzhuambsp; Jishi City is a city where all ethnic groups live together, which also makes the atmosphere here much more open than in the mainland. I often walk incognito on the streets of Jishi City and look at the 茑The red willows and green trees made Gao Yuan feel happy when he saw those young women showing off their figures to the fullest, as if he had returned to the bustling cities of his previous life.

Except for the absence of those cramped high-rise buildings and the annoying smog, the blue sky and white clouds, and even the air seemed to have a sweet taste, everything seemed so beautiful.

Well, there is a similarity, that is, crowded traffic. Look at the streets. People are often rubbing shoulders with each other. People are crowded and crowded. Traffic jams are formed at the crossroads between cities and towns. Police officers from the city government have to be dispatched from time to time to clear things up, or we should establish traffic rules in Jishi City, such as the simplest way for pedestrians to keep to the right, or to designate special sidewalks, carriage lanes and horse paths.

Sitting in his study. Gao Yuan was really happy when he thought about these things. Zhengdong Mansion's work of absorbing refugees from all over the country was going very smoothly. Although the method used was not very bright, for the refugees who were secretly sent here, Zhengdong Mansion today The area under the jurisdiction of the government is their paradise.

Jishi City is now very large. There are more than 200,000 residents inside and outside the city. If you want to enter Jishi City, you have begun to set up barriers. The large influx of people is all destined for the Hetao area.

The influx of people made the councilors happy, but also worried. Every household that came needed to be settled with real money. It will be at least a year before these people can contribute to Zhengdong Mansion.

But Gao Yuan continued to implement this policy indifferently. Hetao needed a large number of people to enrich it, and for him. People are the most precious resource.

There was a gentle knocking sound outside. When I looked up, I saw Ning Xin's pretty figure standing at the door. Holding a stack of files in her hand, she was wearing a light lake-green outfit today, and her satin-like hair was tied with a lake-blue streamer. Black and blue paired with her white jade-like skin,

It presents a mind-blowing beauty. In terms of appearance alone, Ning Xin is indeed better than both Ye Jing'er and He Lanyan.

But what is strange to Gao Yuan is that Ye Jing'er has always maintained a certain degree of hostility towards He Lanyan, but for Ning Xin, she always seems to try to push this woman towards him. For example, after Ning Xin returned from the Hetao, Ye Jing'er actually crossed She moved to the Governor's Mansion directly because she was busy with official duties and rarely accompanied her. She was very lonely and needed a companion. This reason was too far-fetched. Ning Xin was not her companion. Now she was a member of the Supervisory Yuan. The senior officials were all busy away from home. Cao Tianci went to Fenzhou and Yi Bin was in Hejian. Ning Xin and Zhang Yi were the only two people left at home. Ning Xin was so busy that she had no time to play with her. Ning Xin moved into the Dudu Mansion and spent much more time with Gao Yuan than with Ye Jing'er. The two often talked side by side from the backyard to the meeting hall. Gao Yuan always felt that the senior officials in the mansion were watching The two of them had a strange look in their eyes.

Unfortunately, he and Ning Xin were innocent.

However, she is so beautiful. With a beautiful woman like Ning Xin by her side, she really feels like a breath of fresh air. Thinking about it, if a guy with a fleshy face like Yang Dasha was standing next to her, she would definitely not be in that mood.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help laughing.

Ning Xin walked to Gao Yuan's side and had lived in the Dudu Mansion for a long time. From being uncomfortable at the beginning to being calm and at ease now, Ning Xin showed her rare ability to adapt.

"What are you laughing at, Governor? Are you so happy?" She placed the file in front of Gao Yuan and chuckled.

"I'm not laughing at anything, I'm just happy." Gao Yuan said cheerfully.

"I'm afraid the governor won't be happy after reading this piece of information." Ning Xin opened the top file with a smile and spread it in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, maybe there was some military trouble somewhere, but looking at Ning Xin's relaxed look, it didn't seem like it.

"What happened?" He picked up the file and glanced at Ning Xin, "You are dressed very well today. In fact, you look much better in women's clothes. You don't need to change into men's clothes when you go out. In Zhengdong Mansion , it is not uncommon for women to be officials. Now, Wang Wudi of the Ministry of Revenue has recruited many female officials who are well-educated and well-versed in calculations! "

Ning Xin's pretty face blushed slightly, but she didn't say anything about it, "Captain, you'd better take a look at this information first. This is what Dean Cao sent from Fenzhou."

"Okay!" Gao Yuan opened the file and read it carefully. Gradually, his eyebrows wrinkled. "This old guy Zhou Yuan actually wants to marry his granddaughter to me as my daughter-in-law? How old are these two little guys?"

He threw the file on the table.

"Captain, this matter is not that simple. This is Zhou Yuan's exchange. Dean Cao said in the intelligence that Zhou has opened up the core technology of sea-building to us. This is the result of the efforts of the Supervisory Yuan in Fenzhou. After two years of trying, Zhou Yuan's intention was very clear. He extended a hand to us, and now he is waiting for you to extend it, too," Ning Xin said.

"I understand what he means!" Gao Yuan nodded, thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Here comes someone!"

He Weiyuan answered the call. He Weiyuan was born and is the nephew of He Dayou, the chief of Baiyang Village, who was praised by Gao Yuan as the best village in the world. After being drafted into the army this time, because of his reliable background and outstanding martial arts, he was taken out by Gao Yuan and became Gao Yuan's personal bodyguard. , since the Guards Battalion was dispersed and assigned to the Young Guards, Gao Yuan's side seemed empty, so Shangguan Hong selected a group from the Young Guards and filled them into the Governor's Mansion. He Weiyuan is one of these lucky ones. His brother, He Weigao, is still serving in the Young Guards and now serves as the company commander.

"Captain!" He Weiyuan stood upright in front of Gao Yuan.

"Immediately send someone to invite you two to discuss the affairs. By the way, I will also invite Minister Gou."

"Yes!" He Weiyuan replied resoundingly, turned around and just walked to the door when Gao Yuan stopped him again, "Say to the back house again and ask Madam to come over."

Hearing that He Weiyuan's footsteps were far away, Ye Jing'er said softly: "I'm afraid Jing'er is absolutely unwilling to do this. She doesn't have any good impressions of Zhou Yuan."

Gao Yuan smiled, "It sounds like you agree with this matter, Luo?"

Ning Xin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Shìde, from a long-term perspective, this marriage will be beneficial to Zhengdong Mansion. I naturally agree."

Gao Yuan nodded, "I know what you mean. Let's discuss this matter when Jiang Yanxun and the others arrive."

Jiang Jiaquan, Yan Shenghao, and Xun Xiu were originally working in the meeting hall in the front yard of the Governor's Mansion. After receiving the notice, they arrived very quickly. After the death of Ye Xiang's parents, Xun Xiu was originally dejected, but after taking care of their funerals, After that, he took his family to live in seclusion and disappeared from the world. The Overwatch Council has been looking for this person's whereabouts. When Ning Xin returned with everyone, they finally obtained Xun Xiu's secluded place from Ning Xin. Gao Yuan sent someone to lead him With Ye Jing'er's handwritten letter, he came to the door and easily invited this person out of the mountain again.

Xun Xiu was already a great figure in the world and had extensive contacts in various countries. He served as the Minister of Rites of Zhengdong Prefecture and was responsible for foreign affairs exchanges with various countries. However, Gao Yuan has not been officially recognized by various countries. Therefore, although he has some relations with various countries, There were contacts, but they were all secret and small-scale contacts. He, the Minister of Rites, seemed very leisurely.

The three of them happened to bump into each other at the door of the study. They looked at each other, but they all read doubts in each other's eyes. They cupped their hands with each other, and Jiang Jiaquan took the lead. The three of them entered Gao Yuan's study together. After a while, Ye Jing'er also arrived here. , seeing that Gao Yuan and his wife had also been invited, the eyes of the three important ministers became more confused. This has never happened before.

After He Weiyuan made tea for everyone, he left, gently closed the door, and stood guard outside the door with his knife.

"Everyone, let's take a look!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, and Ning Xin handed the information from Fenzhou to Jiang Jiaquan.

"This was sent from Fenzhou by God. It just arrived today. Because the matter is important, I invited everyone to come and review it together!"

Jiang Jiaquan scanned the information at a glance and quickly selected the most important part from the long piece of information. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, did not speak, and handed it to Yan Shenghao.

The three of them finished reading but did not speak. They watched Ning Xin whisper something in Ye Jing'er's ear. Now they understood why Ye Jing'er was invited as well.

"That's not true!" Ye Jing'er suddenly stood up, looked at Gao Yuan, and said, "My son will never marry a woman from the Zhou family."

"Jing'er, please be patient." Gao Yuan glanced at Ye Jing'er reproachfully, "I invited three adults to come with you to discuss this matter, right?" (To be continued...)
