"It is indeed my subordinate's heartfelt words. In the past few years, whenever my subordinates come up to ask for instructions, neither the old man nor Mr. Liu has dismissed any of them! This will make my subordinates feel more happy, and the subordinates will be more motivated. I am willing to use all my strength, but in fact, everyone is not lazy in politics, they are afraid that they will be exhausted and no one will love them and they will be hated."
"Hmph, why don't you say that the salaries of the officials in your Longjiang City are twice as much as those in other cities. Wen Chengxu's annual income combined is more than the old man's!" Liu Cong recounted.
"Isn't this also the foresight and wise decision-making of the old man and Mr. Liu? If you support integrity with high salary, no one will be corrupt, and everyone who dares to be corrupt will be punished... By the way, Mr. Liu, I am in a hurry this time. I haven't told you yet What do you think, I think Longjiang needs to increase its carbon supply this year, coal is so expensive now." Wen Chengxu said following the trend.
"Longjiang is close to the Heishantou Coal Mine, and you dare to say that coal is expensive. Who are you trying to coax?" Liu Cong recounted.
"It's really expensive. Most of the coal from our Heishantou coal mine is exported to Japan. The rest is shipped to northern Xinjiang and not to the mainland. I don't control the coal mine. I'll send someone to get some. It is difficult to find cheap coal. In fact, we have plenty of sheep dung in Longjiang, so heating in the winter is not a problem, but the problem is that they are all equipped with heaters..."
Most of the people living in Longjiang City are very wealthy merchants. Their houses are equipped with the most popular heating systems because they are clean. But the boiler of the heating system cannot use sheep dung, because the heat is simply not enough, so it can only use anti-burn coal.
Officials in Longjiang City have high salaries and naturally have a good quality of life. Their homes are also equipped with heating systems. They spend a lot of money just purchasing a large amount of coal every year.
"I see that Chengxu's Longjiang City is now the third largest city in Yanyun. I, Xuanming, am also a county seat, and your Longjiang City is also a county seat, but they are so different." The county government in Baili still has a fire kang system. , all the things burned were sheep dung, but fortunately there were plenty of sheep dung bricks, so the room wasn't cold at all.
"You Xuan Ming still have sheep dung burning. We in Niutoushan can only burn wood in winter, but the boss is not allowed to cut and cut, so we can only use charcoal braziers. The mountains are cool and cool in winter... Look at my green My hands are chapped with cold, I feel so distressed!" Li Tanhua said.
"Li Tanhua, Sister Lin, and Ruolan have sent you so many letters asking Miss Ouyang to go to Changshan or spend the winter in the wind, but you refused to say anything! Now you say it so arrogantly!" Dugulou said with a smile.
"It's Cui'er who doesn't want to go, but I'm willing to go." Li Tanhua said insincerely.
"Brother Tanhua, can you leave Niutoushan for so long?" Yue Zhonglin asked.
"It was not possible before, but now it is no problem. There is Xiao Wenhuan in the north, Baili Qingyun in the east, Old Murong in the west, and there is an old baby at home... I have been here for a year and a half now and feel very relieved." Li Tanhua smiled.
The oldest child in the family is naturally Li Xuanming. Now Li Xuanming has a very good relationship with the two of them, and they are like a family.
In other words, the situation has changed now. Niutoushan is no longer Yanyun's natural danger, because the enemies to the north and west have now become friends.
But because he may face Dazhou's attack in the future, he still needs to be in charge of Niutoushan in person.
In addition, if he is transferred away, Dazhou must be extremely sensitive and may suspect Murong Heng from the west.
Xiao Chen and his party were on a secret trip, so they all dressed up as fur traders. They passed through the prefectures and counties along the way without informing the local officials. When they arrived at Longjiang City, Wen Chengxu arranged a secret residence. After a day's rest, they set off to North, entering Xianbo territory.
Only Qiu Muling personally led his troops to escort him, but Wu Luolan didn't show up. As for why he didn't show up, Xiao Chen knew in his heart, and everyone knew it, so no one asked.
Qiu Muling sent everyone to the border of Mojie. Wanyan Pingqiu came to welcome them in person, and asked Wu Luolan why he didn't come? She didn't go back to the capital after she came back. She had been patrolling the area to check on the public sentiment...
Which pot won't be opened?
"Why are you coming back here if you don't stay in Fuyu City?" Xiao Chen asked this guy.
"I've been out for so long, why don't I come back to take a look?" Wanyan Pingqiu actually came back to dispatch troops. He was always worried about Xiao Chen and his group going to Ross, so he came back and organized an elite Mo army. The Jie cavalry braved the severe cold, wind and snow all the way north, approaching the border of Russia. Once the situation changes, they will go directly to St. Ann Castle!
"You kid, this is totally unnecessary!" Xiao Chen glanced at the big car behind him, "Since I dare to go, I am guaranteed to be fine. Do you need to worry about me?"
"Who is worrying about you? I'm afraid that my husband will make a mistake!" Wanyan Pingqiu said, "If anything happens, I will only save your husband but not you!"
"Can you save me with my skills?" Xiao Chen said, "It's impossible for us to take down St. Ann's Castle in a hurry."
"I told Wu Luolan the same thing, but she just didn't believe it. Where do you think she is now?" Wanyan Pingqiu whispered, "She personally led her troops and went straight to the northern border, and she was stationed dozens of miles away from Ross. Caotou Mountain is always ready to pick you up. If something changes here and you want to escape, just run there."
"You two are really unnecessary." Xiao Chen felt warmly moved in his heart. It felt good to be cared about.
"Xiao Chen, did you still say that you wanted me to be King Yanyun?" Wanyan Pingqiu suddenly asked.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Chen suddenly became alert.
"What if your kid can't come back? Then Yanyun County must not fall into Li Wanjiang's hands. If it falls into his hands, you might as well give it to me. We are brothers." Wanyan Pingqiu said with a smile.
"Bah, bah, bah!" Xiao Chen spat on the ground, "I'm not dead yet! Are you kid so worried about my inheritance?"
"I should have known that you didn't mean what you said!" Wanyan Pingqiu said.
"Wanyan, the current Yanyun County is not something you can control." Dugulou sighed, "It's not that you can't do it, it's that no one can do it except Xiao Chen."
"Why?" Wanyan Pingqiu said loudly.
"Just because I'm handsomer than you, my martial arts skills are better than yours, and I'm richer than you!" Xiao Chen said proudly.
"Come here if you have the guts?" Wanyan Pingqiu challenged him, wanting to race him again.
"Come on, come on!" Xiao Chen tightened the reins, "I shout one, two, three, and I can't beat the horse until I shout three!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll let you run three miles without any problem!" Wanyan Pingqiu also likes to compete. Although she said so, she took off all her bows, arrows and swords and handed them to her subordinates, and went into battle lightly.
"One, two, three!" As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Wanyan Pingqiu shot out like an arrow from a string. His equestrian skills were superb, but they were far superior to Xiao Chen. In fact, he could win in the entire northern Xinjiang. There are only a few who have surpassed him.
But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small black spot on the snow in the distance...
