Chapter 224 Visiting Hengshan to appease the people

After staying in Xiayang City for a few days, Lin Yifan took Lin Shuwan to Hengshan. As the lord of Hengshan, he had to bring his younger sister to meet the old man in Hengshan to appease people's hearts.

With the northward shift of Hengshan's center of power, some Hengshan people are quite dissatisfied with this, and feel that Lin Yifan will start to neglect them, and Hengshan may become a marginal area again in the future. Therefore, many love letters are continuously uploaded to Lin Yifan Before the case, I begged him not to forget Hengshan and the people of Hengshan.

Lin Yifan was also quite helpless about this, because the northward transfer of power was imperative, and Hengshan's geographical environment determined that it could not become a central area.But Hengshan is the place where he rose up, and the people in it are the basic base of his power.Not to mention that more than half of the current high-level officers came from Hengshan, that is, today's Hengshan Army, most of the middle-level officers are from Hengshan.

Hengshan seems to be a small place for the entire force, and it is no longer so important.But from a human point of view, the importance of Hengshan can almost determine the stability of the entire force.Therefore, Lin Yifan had to win over the Hengshan people, tell them that he had never forgotten them, and would never forget them in the future, so that they could feel at ease.

Along the way, Lin Yifan took Lin Shuwan and told her how he came from Hengshan step by step to where he is today, and told her how the people of Hengshan supported him all the way to lay down such a vast territory.

Back in Hengshan County, Lin Yifan summoned officials at all levels and village elders from all over the country to have a banquet in the county government office.At the same time, she brought her younger sister to show up in front of everyone, and ordered the Hengshan County magistrate to register Lin Shuwan's household registration in Hengshan County.Seeing the adults' actions, everyone showed joy.

After that, I stayed in the county for another day, took my sister to wander around the county, talked cordially with the people, and sat with some old people to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness.After one day, although Lin Yifan was exhausted, the effect was really good.The image of him being approachable and nostalgic for old love has been established here.

When they left, all the people in the city poured out of the city gate, watching Lin Yifan leave reluctantly.

After a few days, Lin Yifan finally returned to Heishui City.He placed his exhausted younger sister in the previous county office, and summoned Liu Yue and others to listen to the situation in Hengshan.

Although Liu Yue has been in charge of general affairs, he is still in charge of Heishui City.Today's Heishui City has [-] people, which is far larger than the average county town.It is also the center of Hengshan before, and the facilities are very well constructed.In addition, this place is close to Shazhou, and it is also the passage for the Hengshan Army to enter Shazhou.Therefore, Heishui City must have a highly respected and prudent person in charge, so as to stabilize the situation in Hengshan.And Liu Yue, as the old master of Hengshan, became the best candidate.

"Mr. Liu, with you here in Hengshan, I can have no worries." After listening to Liu Yue's report, Lin Yifan said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I'm absurd. I don't have much to do here. It's all thanks to these young people working hard under my command that the stable operation of Heishui City has been made." Liu Yue waved his hand and pointed to a group of young officials present. Modestly said.

"It's thanks to you, Mr. Liu, that you can make your subordinates work hard." Lin Yifan said seriously, "For a politician, you should be elected with the virtuous and capable. Putting the right people in the right positions is the most brilliant way to govern. means. And Mr. Liu, you did exactly that to make Heishui City stable as before."

"My lord, please don't praise me. Alas, I'm getting old and my energy is exhausted. Fortunately, these young people came to help me, so I can support this old man." Liu Yue sighed with a wry smile, "My lord, you appointed me as the general manager, and said To be honest, I am full of expectations for this, but I am also very worried. This old man is a small master, how can he dare to live in a high position?"

"Old Liu, you..."

"My lord, don't persuade me anymore. I know my own situation." Liu Yue interrupted him, and said in a deep voice, "I'm already sixty-five now, and the loess has already been buried under my neck. These days , the old man felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, alas, I am afraid that the old man will no longer be able to serve you, my lord."

"Mr. Liu, don't say that. Since you are in poor health, I will order Dr. Li to come and take a look at you immediately." Lin Yifan's eyes turned red, and he said with a sob, "The affairs of Heishui City can be handed over to you." If you do it under your command, you will take good care of your body and don't care about anything else."

"I would like to live my life like this, but I can't do it now. We have too few talents in Hengshan." Liu Yue shook his head, looked at Lin Yifan, his eyes were full of kindness, "Hengshan has finally developed to where it is today, and everyone I am trying my best to do things, this old man started his business in Hengshan, how can he stop halfway? Unless Sir can find a suitable candidate to take over the old man's position as soon as possible, otherwise, this old man will continue to work."

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your hard work." Lin Yifan nodded fiercely, "I will definitely find a suitable person as soon as possible to take over your position. During this period, Mr. Liu, I hope you will take care of your health and leave things to your hands as much as possible. Come down and do it, don't be too tired."

"Thank you for your concern, my lord, I obey." Liu Yue said with emotion.

"And you, under the leadership of Mr. Liu, you have done a good job." Lin Yifan looked around at everyone present, "Do well, don't let Mrs. Liu worry about it. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, my lord. The subordinates will do their best to help Mr. Liu and do their job well." Under Lin Yifan's stern gaze, everyone promised quickly.

After the meeting, Lin Yifan took his younger sister to visit Mr. Liu.Mr. Liu has no children. Since Lin Yifan came to Hengshan, he has always regarded him as his son and grandson.And when Lin Yifan was isolated and helpless at the beginning, he also regarded Liu Yue as his grandfather from the bottom of his heart.Seeing Lin Shuwan's cute and lively appearance at this time, he immediately captured Elder Liu's pampering heart and regarded her as his granddaughter.

Lin Shuwan also liked the old man in front of her very much. She kept calling Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu, and acted coquettishly and cutely from time to time, which made Liu Yue laugh out loud.

In the past few days, Lin Yifan took Lin Shuwan to tour around Heishui City, visiting various villages.This move not only declares to the people that he attaches great importance to Hengshan, but also takes this opportunity to visit the public opinion and understand the people's sentiments.

Taking them back to Heishui City, Jin Jiuyuan, who came back from Shazhou, was already waiting for him.

"My lord, you are back. My subordinates have an emergency to report to you." Jin Jiuyuan said with a serious face.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin Yifan frowned and asked in question.

"My lord, this subordinate is going to Shazhou this time to continue to carry out the long corridor trade. But now the situation has changed, and there may be twists and turns in this trade." Jin Jiuyuan said worriedly, "After the war, the Dingxi Army will Their strength has been greatly damaged. Now they have changed from the previous years of inaction and ruled, and they have begun to fully control the entire long corridor and ancient road. We have to pay high commercial taxes, and we have to accept all kinds of investigations. We in Hengshan have no contacts with the Dingxi Army, and the subordinates feel that if our caravan goes rashly, there may be accidents."

"It's really tricky. I will send the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Shazhou to negotiate with the Dingxi Army and let them allow us to trade on the Long Corridor Ancient Road." Lin Yifan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, Director Chen How are you in Shazhou now?"

"Back to my lord, Mr. Chen's situation is fine at present, but the Dingxi Army has very tight control over the entire Shazhou, and Mr. Chen's work is not going very smoothly." Jin Jiuyuan said with a wry smile.

"I didn't expect the situation in Shazhou to be like this. It seems that after the battle, the Dingxi Army was seriously injured. They had to do their best to search for Shazhou's financial resources to make up for the loss of strength." Lin Yifan sighed. , It's really a fire at the city gate, which affects the fish in the pond. "Minister Jin, you will go to Shazhou with me tomorrow. I want to go there and learn about the situation in Shazhou."

"Ah! My lord, this, this is wrong, just in case..." Jin Jiuyuan was in a hurry, and quickly advised him.

"Needless to say, the official from Shazhou has also been there twice, this time we go disguised as merchants, and nothing will happen." Lin Yifan knew what he wanted to say, so he interrupted him and made a final decision.

Seeing that the adult has made up his mind, Jin Jiuyuan knew that he could not persuade him, so he had to compromise.

The next day, Lin Yifan entrusted Lin Shuwan to Liu Yue's care, and disguised himself with his bodyguards, and followed Jin Jiuyuan to Shazhou with the caravan.
