? Far East Empire, a province in the clouds.
? At noon, Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, led a group of civil servants and military generals to stand on the official road outside Pinghe Mansion, waiting eagerly.
Since Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, also served as the commander of the Second Field Army and led his troops to carry out the vigorous task of guarding the border and farming in the Yunzhong Province.
The entire province in the cloud has undergone earth-shaking changes, and countless barren lands have been reclaimed into arable land.
The construction of a large number of water conservancy facilities has also turned many Susukida into high-yielding middle and good fields.
At the same time, in addition to reclaiming wasteland and guarding the border, the Second Field Army also mobilized elite soldiers and generals to assist the Yunzhong Provincial Government in forming a security banner regiment.
It took them half a year to wipe out the gangsters who have been entrenched in the Yunzhong Province for many years. Now the Yunzhong Province can be said to have achieved the point where they do not pick up lost items on the road and do not close their doors at night.
However, the Yunzhong Province is a border province after all, adjacent to the Holy See's Saint Lei City and other areas.
Facing the vigorous and excellent situation of the province in the cloud, the Holy See is naturally envious and jealous.
For a long time, they sent some people to infiltrate and sabotage, but they were all wiped out by the Qinghe Army Second Field Army Corps.
This time the Holy See intensified. They expelled the so-called heretics and Far Easterners in their territory, trying to drive them into the territory of the Far Eastern Empire.
The number of these people was only tens of thousands at the beginning, and they gathered in the border areas, putting great pressure on the borders of the Far East Empire.
Li Lang's Second Field Army Corps has also fully entered a state of combat readiness, fearing that the Holy See's army will mix in and invade.
However, with the passage of time, more and more refugees gathered in the border area, and many people faced the cruel suppression of the Holy See, and ventured across the border into the cloud province.
The Local Security Banner Regiment of Yunzhong Province and the Second Field Army of the Qinghe Army joined forces to arrest a large number of people, but it was still difficult to prevent these people from entering.
? With the influx of a large number of cross-border refugees in the originally thriving Yunzhong Province, the security situation has also deteriorated.
Fortunately, at this time, the imperial capital also sent a decree, asking Li Lang to let go of the border area and accept refugees and Far Easterners expelled by the Holy See.
Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, felt that this was a conspiracy by the Holy See, because so many refugees coming over would definitely affect the stability and law and order of Yunzhong Province.
What's more, a considerable part of the food and fodder in Yunzhong Province needs to be transported from outside. If a large number of refugees are accepted at once, the food will be tight.
However, in the face of the order of the imperial capital, Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, dared not refuse to listen, and could only accept the refugees in an orderly manner.
Since receiving the order from the imperial capital until now, their Yunzhong Province has received a total of 200,000 refugees.
In order to stabilize the situation in Yunzhong Province, Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, also set aside Pinghe Mansion independently as a place to resettle refugees.
?Because Pinghe Mansion was once the main battlefield where the two sides fought, it resulted in a situation where there were almost ten rooms and nine empty rooms.
Now it is just used to resettle the refugees. In order to prevent the Holy See from sending people to infiltrate the refugees, Li Lang sent people to register the refugees, and at the same time stationed a field banner group to monitor in Pinghe Mansion.
Now Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, came to Pinghe Mansion in person. In addition to inspecting the construction of several refugee gathering places for refugees, there was also Fatty Lu who welcomed the imperial capital.
Fatty Lu, as the confidant of Emperor Chen Ziang, was conferred the title of Duke of Ding, the same as Li Lang.
It can be said that Li Lang's Zhen Guogong and Lu Fatty's Ding Guogong are at the same level, so Li Lang paid so much attention to it and greeted him personally.
"Master Legion, Duke Ding and the others are here."
In the distance, there was a dense sound of horseshoes, and a group of dusty cavalry was galloping along the official road.
After Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, sorted out his appearance, he also led a group of officials to greet him.
Within a week after Fatty Lu got married, he handed over the matter of the cavalry regiment and rushed to Yunzhong Province.
This time Fatty Lu went to Yunzhong Province in person, and he also came with Chen Ziang's order.
What Fatty Lu didn't expect was that Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, greeted him on the official road in person.
"Xi Lv Lv!"
Fatty Lu, as Dingguo Duke, was on the same level as Li Lang, so he naturally didn't dare to push others forward to greet him.
At a distance of dozens of steps from Li Lang and the others, Fatty Lu reined in his horse, and he dismounted to meet him.??
Li Lang and Fatty Lu used to be regarded as brothers who fought side by side. Although they are both in high positions now, they have lived and died together, so they can be regarded as a fateful friendship.
After the two had a bear hug, Li Lang asked with concern when he saw the dusty Fatty Lu.
"Brother Lu, is this journey smooth?"
Fatty Lu smiled and said, "Except for encountering a few short-sighted thieves on the road, nothing happened."
Although the Far East Empire has set up security banners in various provinces, there are also security brigades and squads in various prefectures and counties, and the security has greatly improved.
However, in some places, there are still some bandits and rogues. They hide in the deep mountains and old forests, appear and disappear, and are supported by foreign forces, so it is difficult to eliminate them in a short time.
Li Lang and the others were used to this for a long time, so seeing that Fatty Lu arrived in Yunzhong Province safely, Li Lang's heart fell to the ground.
"I couldn't attend your wedding ceremony, please forgive me Brother Lu." Li Lang said apologetically.
Fatty Lu waved his hands and said, "Brother Li, you're out of touch now. I can understand you guarding the border to protect the empire."
"I was ordered to do business in Yunzhong province this time, and I would like to ask Brother Li to support me a lot." Fatty Lu cupped his hands.
"Your business is my business. If there is anything to do, just say hello, and it will still work for me to speak in the cloud province."
As a border province, the province in the cloud also has some differences from the provinces in the interior, that is, the military and government are all in the hands of one person.
? In various provinces in the Mainland, the Security Banner Group and the Provincial Chief of Administration are separated from the military and the administration, and they also play a role of checks and balances.
However, the Yunzhong Province is close to the Holy See, so Li Lang, the Lord of the Town, is in charge of the military and government. This is also to avoid the dispersion of power and the enemy's individual defeat.
Li Lang is not only responsible for farming, but also responsible for guarding the border, and he is also an unambiguous existence in the province of Yunzhong.
"Then I will thank Brother Li." Fatty Lu also thanked him.
Li Lang invited: "I have already prepared a welcome banquet for you in Pinghefu City. You must be hungry too. Let's go into the city and talk while eating."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Lang invited Fatty Lu and others to enter Pinghefu City.
Several tables of banquets have been set up in the city, with all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, which made Lu Fatty and others, who were busy all the way, eat a full stomach.
At the dinner table, Li Lang also introduced the current situation of the Yunzhong Province as a whole, and Fatty Lu told himself why he came to the Yunzhong Province.
"I will not interfere with the affairs of the province in the cloud. I am here mainly to follow His Majesty's order to form a mixed force, and wait for the opportunity to retake the Far Eastern lands captured by the Holy See, such as the Holy Thunder City."
After hearing Fatty Lu's words, Li Lang, who was quite nervous, was completely relieved now.
He saw that the imperial capital had sent Fatty Lu, Dingguo Duke, to Yunzhong Province, and thought that someone was speaking ill of him behind his back, which caused him to be suspected by Emperor Chen Ziang, and that's why Fatty Lu came.
Seeing Fatty Lu's other tasks, Li Lang also felt that he was thinking too much, and he was treating the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so his brows relaxed, and his mood suddenly became brighter. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
