Dozens of miles north of the city, a north-south road is being built, a group of ragged strong-headed, under the supervision of officials, a gray powder mixed with yellow sand, stone and water, and then poured on the road foundation that has been built, and then after a few days, the road will be hardened, even if the rain is not to worry.

But outside the workshop next to the construction of the road, a young official with a horse whip, is smoking a burly official, only to see this burly official on the upper body, every whip is printed with a blood marks, pained although he sweats, but clenched his teeth did not make the slightest sound, but the young official did not stop, but the young official did not stop.

"Sikangzo, you detained the rations of these prisoners of war, resulting in the starvation of more than a hundred prisoners of war, and thus delayed the construction period, the officer should also follow you to be implicated, if not to see that you have made war for the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that you will have been arrested and asked for sin, now the official smokes you twenty whips to show discipline, you can be satisfied!"When the young official finished, he asked the fat officer loudly.

"The history of the thorny, because the reason for the lower official caused the delay in the construction period, the lower official also confessed to this, the next 20 whips are also light, so the officials are also convinced orally, but these Xue Yanda's animals are all deserve to die, the lower official's leg is left in the desert, his brother is dead nearly half, and now even the bones have not been recovered, but the gang of animals is still alive, the officials also have to give them food and drink!"I saw this burly official tugging at his neck.

This official as the chief of the silo ** body, you can see that in addition to the whip marks just hit, there are a lot of criss-crossing old wounds, and a leg is half, can only support the body with a wooden leg, experienced people can see at a glance, he must be a veteran of the battlefield, because the injury can not stay in the army, was placed in the local government, such as Shikang Sa this is the county management of the warehouse money and grain officials.

Hearing this Sicangzo's answer, only to see the young officials can not help but be silent, he is Li Xiu's eldest son Ping Lang, some time ago Li Zhai finally gave birth to a son, he finally left Chang'an, he was sent to the Anbei Province of Yunzhou as a history, originally with his age and seniority, it is impossible to serve as such a senior official, but he is the big Tang's horse, and the eldest son, plus before the achievements of Li.

"Sikurazo, the brother of the official is also in the army, very understanding of your resentment against these prisoners of war, but understand that the construction of this road can not be the slightest delay, no matter what you do with these prisoners of war in the future, but now the road is not finished, they must live, without them, the court can only conscript the people to build the road, do you want their own brothers to build the road?" 」Peacekeeper spoke again.

Ping An Lang now holds the post of Yunzhou thorn history, but Yunzhou was originally drawn from the grassland a new state, the state is sparsely populated, and most of them are grassland people, these grassland people are not tame, very difficult to discipline, the general officials really can't stop the scene, so now the officials in the state are almost all retired from the army, and only these blood-filled veterans can survive the scene, but these people are also born, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same.It’s hard to get these officials to listen.

Although Sikang Sao was bold, but heard the words of Ping An Lang is also silent, want to build a road on the grassland is not an easy thing, especially here the conditions are bad, no move will die, fortunately, before the cast of Xue Yanda countless prisoners of war, it is these prisoners of war, so that the road construction is very smooth.

"Sikurazo, this road is of great importance, as long as the road is repaired, the grassland people will no longer be difficult to rebel in the future, Sikura your descendants will not be like you will throw a leg on the grassland, so you also have to distinguish the weight, a month later, this road must be repaired to the west of the city's north door, otherwise you and I will be punished, then it is not so simple!"Ping Lang saw that this sura was silent and spoke again.

As an officer, Enwei is the most basic way, just now he personally smoked the whip of the other party is Wei, and now he reasoned, let him understand why he hit him, this is grace, if he can know the wrong change in the future, you can also promote it, so that the other party is willing to use for themselves!

"The officer knew wrong, and will certainly not do such a wrong thing again in the future!"Only to see this sakura finally bowed his head to admit the wrong way, which made Ping Lang also nodded with approval, and at the same time glanced at the other officials around him, and today he came to inspect the construction of the road, naturally accompanied by many officials of the state, before he found that the Sicang Zucker detained the rations of prisoners of war, which was personally punished, but also for other officials to see, to alert these officials, lest they make the same mistake in the future.

These officials may know the origin of Ping Lang, they thought that Ping An Lang is just to mix up a seniority, will soon be transferred back to Chang'an, but did not expect Ping An Lang to Yunzhou is a big show of fist, during this time all the illegal officials were killed by him killed, shut down, even the small officials such as Sikura made mistakes, can not escape his punishment, which makes the surrounding officials are also afraid, no longer dare to look down on the big Tang horse.

Seeing the change in the expression of these officials, Ping Lang also nodded to himself, shortly after coming to Yunzhou, now Wei has been set up, and then he will be gracious, and the other most important thing is to make some achievements, so as to truly establish his foothold in Yunzhou, and then he will have the opportunity to do something in the vast land of the Anbei Provincial Protector.

At this time, before noon, Ping Lang led the officials to once again inspect the construction of the road, which was built by the strength of the entire Anbei Prefectural Protectorate State and the Ducal House, called "Shangtian Khan Avenue", because after returning to help Datang to exterute Yanduo, Tuo Fandu united with various tribes to respect Li Shimin as "Heavenly Khan", and also to the Tang on the name, requesting the construction of a grassland to the Tang.

Of course, the book is just a lead, the real reason is that Datang wants to strengthen the control of the grasslands by building this road, and unlike the historical khan khan road, now all this road is built with cement, although the quality of the cement of Datang is not as good as the future generations, but the Tang era does not have too heavy vehicles, as long as the cement hard road can meet the requirements of carriage traffic.

Yunzhou is close to the west of the city, and the west of the city is the governance of the Anbei capital, and then to the south is the land of the beautiful river, previously known here as the desert, is the border between the Tang and the grassland, usually there is a border city for trading, so Yunzhou here compared to other states is still good, although the people under the rule are mostly grassland people, but there are many of the original merchants, they have gathered here into a small town, originally the town has no name, but now it is called Yunzhou.

Seeing that it was about noon, the location of Ping Lang was also quite far away from Yunzhou City, and it was impossible to go back, so he ate at the construction site of the road, and did not make people particularly prepared, that is, the same food as those officials, although the meals of the officials were much better than the prisoners of war, but it was just a bowl of chowgets and two sweet potatoes, although the taste was not good, but Ping Lang still ate, because if you could not even eat this pain, it would only let others.

Just in Ping An Lang just ate at noon, is preparing to return to Yunzhou City to deal with government affairs, after all, Yunzhou New, all aspects of the affairs, although the road construction is important, but he can not put all his energy on this matter.

However, just when Heng Lang was just on the horse, he suddenly saw that the dust filled the north, and then the horseshoes sounded like thunder, and it seemed that a cavalry was rushing to this side.
