"Your Majesty! There is a new city ahead! Shall we drive the car in?" Yu Wenhu turned back to the carriage window and couldn't help but ask.

"Just leave the car here and leave five people to guard it." Dongfang Yu's voice came from inside the car.

It was originally a private visit incognito, so what happened in a carriage? after all! Anyone who can ride in a carriage must have some family background.

In this era, carriage driving was a luxury.

Dongfang Yu and Xu Meng got out of the car, randomly! He greeted Gu Yuena and Zhao Yazhi.

"Let's go!" Dongfang Yu said the two words calmly.

not far away! The new city of Anding has begun to take shape, with its majestic city walls stretching as far as the eye can see! The thickness of the city wall is also made of special materials. It can be said that if Anding City can be built, it will definitely become the second largest city in Beiliang. and! Its hardness also ranks second.

Before Anding City, there was naturally Qin County. Qin County's city walls and defenses were renovated everywhere. Later, when the city was expanded, many high towers, turrets, and arrow towers were built!

At this time, in the new city, hundreds of thousands of people were working hard, pulling wood, working hard... it was a busy scene. Moreover, you can see extremely happy smiles on these people's faces, and the looks in their eyes all depict their expectations for future life.

This is inseparable from the management of Tian Ping, Wang Su, and Pei Hao. He, the big boss behind the scenes, also has some connections.

certainly! This does not mean that there is no hegemonism among these refugee groups? Around this new city, Tianping is in charge, and it is very harmonious and peaceful, and! Soldiers also often participated in the construction of cities with the people.

But what about the three temporarily built county towns in Anding County? For example, Xing County is the closest place to Anding County. It is twenty miles away and can be reached in half an hour.

Naturally, it was a private visit incognito to inspect the results of the construction of the new city. As the King of Qin, he naturally had to go to those places.

In the new Anding County, Dongfang Yu and others walked around and asked several questions of the people. They all praised King Qin and Tian Ping.

This man Dongfang Yu was very satisfied.

About forty minutes later, Dongfang Yu left the new city and returned to the carriage. Along the way, there were smiles that were hard to hide.

Xu Meng naturally saw Dongfang Yu's happiness and said: "Your Majesty, are you relieved this time? Prime Minister Tian's governance ability is obvious to all in the Qin State. The efficiency of doing things is naturally high."

Even Xu Meng envied Tian Ping's ability. certainly! Although his governance ability is not as good as Tian Ping's, it is not much worse, just! He just doesn't want to take care of these trivial matters! It's more about mental arithmetic and strategy.

"Um!"

Dongfang Yu nodded slightly without comment.

"Military advisor, it's hard to find time for a private visit! I'll visit a few counties later!"

"promise!"

Among the ancient kings, there were very few who were as hands-on as Dongfang Yu.

Xing County!

"A bunch of damn unscrupulous people, eating my Beiliang's, using my Beiliang's, now! There are also people who live in my Beiliang, you bastards are treated like this, and you still don't work hard for me." This big man, He is the supervisor who oversees the creation of An County.

He also has a very famous name, Pei Zhuang, the cousin of the Pei family, and the cousin of Pei Yuanqing. Pei Hao and Pei Zhuang's family both trust Pei, but their relationship is not deep. then! When Pei Hao was still a useless scholar (poor scholar), these people in the Pei family were all very arrogant. They did not like Pei Hao's family because of their status in Mr. Pei's family.

And later! Pei Hao was engaged in business, and he also killed enemies and made meritorious deeds. In Wuwei, he alone established a piece of the world for the Pei family, and became the biggest overlord in Beiliang! With such an identity, it was different. The people in the general family were so shameless that they fawned over Pei Hao.

Pei Hao was also a tough guy, with a clear distinction between hate and love. He directly drove these Pei family members out of the door and didn't want to see them. Later, when he joined Dongfang Yu, he thought that if Pei Hao was in trouble this time, the Pei family would also be in trouble.

Just when he was about to cut off his relationship with Pei Hao... Pei Hao actually became Dongfang Yu's confidant. Even his son Pei Yuanqing was reused by Dongfang Yu, and! I still think about the powerful generals under the command of King Qin...

To be honest, this time, Pei Hao was not showing mercy and pitying some people in the Pei family! But when Pei Hao left the Beiliang Overlord aside, his heart became soft. No! This big man named Pei Zhuang came from my cousin's side, shamelessly.

no way! It happened that a new city was being built, and there were not enough management manpower, so Pei Zhuang was asked to manage it.

Pei Hao almost always hangs out in Xincheng and rarely comes to the county. after all! The most important thing now is the construction of the new city.

"Moreover! Isn't it just because my cousin is a minister under King Qin? What's so crazy about clinging to a position of dependence? I've seen this kind of thing too many times?"

"That's right, it's reasonable to deduct labor fees..."

These hard-working people could only complain a few words, but did not dare to say more.

after all! They are from out of state, after all, they are not as good as the locals. Speaking of which, the labor fees in Beiliang are much higher than those in other states! Even if half is deducted, they can accept it.

and! In their opinion, as refugees who fled, the government of Beiliang could work hard to build cities and houses for them to live in. This kind of treatment was probably only available in Beiliang. and! Being a subject of King Qin and under the protection of King Qin is simply an honor.

"Boy! I think you don't want to live anymore!" Just right! Pei Zhuang's ears could hear clearly.

Those straight eyes looked at those people fiercely.

Immediately! With such a wave of his hand, several servants ran over and grabbed those people out.

The four young men were pushed to the ground by several servants.

It was obvious that these servants were not soldiers from Beiliang.

"What did the four of you just say? Are you not convinced by what I said?"

Pei Zhuang's eyes widened. His relationship with Pei Hao's nephew was enough for him to cover the sky in Xingcheng with one hand.

The four of them couldn't stand the oppression, their dignity was trampled on, they were sometimes beaten, and their labor fees were withheld in half. How could they endure it? A thin young man yelled, "What's wrong! Did we say something wrong?" This is the law of Qin! And if you go against the law of Qin and deduct people's wages, doesn't it count as a crime?"

"If I wait for a day and am not oppressed, I can report your deduction of workers' wages to the government... Huh! It will be easy for you."

"Hahaha~"

Pei Zhuang laughed instead of getting angry, thinking that these people were ignorant, "It's ridiculous! Report it to the government? Don't you know that my uncle is an important minister under King Qin? You dare to sue me... Are there any people in this world who are so reckless?"
