...

Liu Ce changed his seat and continued to say to Wei Ying with a smile: "By the way, Princess, this is strictly a private matter of this military governor. You are too lenient to care. What does it have to do with you whether to marry Princess Mengluo?"

Wei Ying clenched her pink fist and didn't know how to express her deep meaning to Liu Ce. Seeing Liu Ce's calm expression, she was really panicked.

"Mr. Military Governor, how do you plan to allocate the land of the northern provinces?"

Liu Ce was stunned when he heard this, looked at Wei Ying with a strange look, and thought to himself, what happened to this girl? Suddenly he brought the topic so far?

Wei Ying continued: "Mr. Military Governor, I have sorted out the policy of civil land. This time, it should satisfy you and modify a reasonable system for taxation in each province, as long as..."

Speaking of this, she bit her lower lip tightly, hesitated for a while, and then said tremblingly: "As long as you promise me that I will not marry Princess Mengluo, I am willing to offer it with both hands..."

"It turns out that she is planning to use the tax policy of Mintian to explain conditions to me..." Liu Ce instantly understood Wei Ying's intention to suddenly bring the topic to Mintian.

"Your Highness the Princess is in mind. I will handle the civil affairs under my military governor properly. I will not worry about His Highness the Princess. Since you have come to the north, go around more often.

It is also easy to understand the most realistic situation of the people in the Central Plains. This military governor still has important things, so he will not accompany His Royal Highness. Please forgive me."

After saying that, Liu Ce got up and left, not giving Wei Ying any chance to continue speaking. Wei Ying was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

After leaving the office, Liu Ce took a deep breath and asked the Shangjiaolu to go straight to other parts of Qinghe City to start a slow patrol.

"Mr. Governor..."

As soon as he reached the corner of the street, Gan Ziba suddenly rushed to Liu Ce, looking eager to speak but stopped.

Liu Ce looked at him for a while and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gan Ziba thought for a while, and then he mustered up the courage and said, "Mr. Military Governor, you said you formed a navy. The large ship inside is several times larger than the tower ship, and can it sail thousands of miles away?"

Liu Ce smiled and said, "I have never told lies, why did I suddenly mention this to me?"

Gan Ziba bowed and said, "Mr. Military Governor, have you ever made a calculation before? As long as you help you seize Yongzhou, will you satisfy my wish?"

"Of course, this military governor keeps his word..." Liu Ce nodded and said.

Gan Ziba immediately said, "Then please let the military governor agree to the young man, so that the young man can personally command a warship you mentioned!"

Liu Ce was slightly stunned: "What did you say? You want to command a sail battleship? Do you know that this kind of ship is not as good as your salt-trafficking boat, nor is it different from the current naval ship in the Great Zhou Dynasty. A sail battleship can block a piece of waters in the enemy country!"

When Gan Ziba heard this, his heart was even more excited. He knelt on one knee and said to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, the more you say this, the more I yearn for such a warship.

I have been a pirate, a private salt dealer, and I know the changes in the sea season, and I also know how to make a group of dry ducks walk on the waters in a short period of time.

Please give me a chance to fulfill my wish. After all, you promised me that any conditions would be met. Now I only have this wish and will be able to command a fleet to travel to various countries in the future..."

Liu Ce thought for a while and raised his hand and said, "Get up first. At present, the two sail battleships under our military command have been commanded by us. The Shipbuilding Department has begun to build two new sail battleships.

After the completion, you can choose one and try it. If you really have the ability to train a navy force, this military supervisor will not be able to handle special matters. Make an exception and make you the captain..."

When Gan Ziba heard this, he felt ecstatic and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Governor, for your accomplishment!"

Liu Ce had such a consideration and was helpless. Infantry and even cavalry training in various parts of the north could be systematically and step by step, and a large number of excellent sources of troops were produced to continuously transport troops everywhere, but the navy was still a shortcoming.

If you say that Liu Cedi naval ships are equipped with the best in today's era, the hardware measures are very complete, but the software is still unsatisfactory.

Even if the salary and treatment of the navy is increased to more than three times that of the infantry, the Shanghai Army is currently only 3,000 or 5,000 people, and some of them are still responsible for logistics on land.

This made Liu Ce very upset. He knew that special circumstances should be treated with special treatment. Since Gan Ziba was confident that he could train a navy master, he might as well let him give it a try, although he did not give any hope in his heart.

Because the control of sail battleships is indeed not easy, among which the sailings involve many problems of latitude and longitude that need to be overcome. Otherwise, if you rashly walk to a strange sea, you will lose your way even if you have a compass.

Looking at Gan Ziba who was smiling like a child, Liu Ce deeply realized a sentence: Those who are unaware of it are fearless and lack the beating of society.

After waving the muddy thoughts in his mind, Liu Ce suddenly said, "Strange, why didn't you see Wei Ji, Prince Wei?"

...

At this moment, Tuoba Yuhai, with Tuoba Xue and two loyal subordinates, Suquetai, Muli and the Five Hundred Guards, arrived at this new city outside the border.

“Ha~”

Tuoba Yuhai breathed a breath of heat and looked at the newly-developed new city, feeling full of emotion.

"This is where our grassland ethnic group is insufficient. Do we have the ability to build such a city style now?"

Neither Suguide nor Mu Li expressed their opinions on Tuoba Yuhai's problem, and Mu Li muttered:

"Why should the king increase the ambition of others and destroy his own majesty? Instead, I like the scene of horse galloping on our grassland. These stone walls feel bound to freedom."

Tuoba Yuhai shook his head: "During the Western Expedition, wherever we passed, there were tall and thick city walls. When every city was standing in front of us, we had to work hard to dismantle the will of the defenders. Do you know what this means?"

Suquede and Mu Li both shook their heads. Such deep-seated problems were not something that they, the veterans who fought on the battlefield, could imagine.

"Because the city means a civilization. It not only protects the lives of the residents in the city, but also protects their culture from being lost. Why did we stop the attack when we marched to the West?

Because our cavalry is currently unable to conquer the civilizations within the Damascus walls, the strong attack will only cause more fierce resistance from the local people.

That is why the Holy Emperor announced the end of the Western Expedition, and only let the Great Food and the two major countries in the Central State were given tribute to some materials.

What we need to do now is to learn excellent city governance experience. The new city in front of us is a good opportunity.

Let's go, after saying so much, everyone is tired. Let's rest here for a few days, visit Tuobasi, and take a look at the difference between this place and the nomadic civilization we are familiar with..."

Everyone nodded and followed Tuoba Yuhai toward the gate of the new city.

"Are you still blaming your father?"

When he entered the city gate, he saw Tuoba Xue walking along the way and said nothing. Tuoba Yuhai, as his father, asked her with concern.

Tuoba Xue still did not respond to Tuoba Yuhai's concerns, but just focused her eyes on the buildings around the city. There was no strange feeling on her moving face.

Tuoba Yuhai shook his head and said earnestly: "Axue, you must understand that you are a Monroeman in the future. When you see Liu Ce, you may change your mind..."

Tuoba Xue opened her eyes in disgust and ignored Tuoba Yuhai. Tuoba Yuhai didn't say anything, and led everyone to continue walking towards the city lord's mansion.

Along the way, everything in the new city made everyone feel fresh. Tuoba Yuhai was knowledgeable and although he was curious about some of the goods sold, he still held back the urge to ask and walked forward calmly.

But Mu Li did not have the cultivation of Tuoba Yuhai. When he passed by a newly opened wine shop by a Central Plains vendor, he smelled the rich aroma of wine floating inside, and he felt a little uneasy.

The grassland peoples are very good at wine, both men and women, especially those with high-degree wines, which are even less resilient. This is a way of survival caused by the environment.

Mu Li couldn't help it, touched the bulging wallet around her waist, and said to Tuoba Yuhai: "Wang, you take the lead. I want to go around, is that okay?"

Tuoba Yuhai naturally knew that Mu Li was addicted to alcohol, so he didn't force him. He just told him: "Don't cause trouble when you are drunk, so as not to lose the face of the Legend of the Condor Heroes..."

Mu Li was overjoyed and hurriedly said goodbye to Tuoba Yuhai, and walked towards the tavern with two equally ecstatic guards.

Tuoba Yuhai sighed helplessly, but he also went with Mu Li. He was still very relieved about his subordinate...

As soon as he entered the wine shop, Mu Li couldn't wait to untie the purse on his waist and shouted loudly in stiff Central Plains words: "Come on all the best wines here, hurry up!"

When the shopkeeper saw Mu Li, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to please and said, "Sorry, the distinguished guest, this shop has been packaged today. Please come again tomorrow..."

"What did you say?" Mu Li Jiuzhe was so anxious that he picked up the shopkeeper, "Is it being wrapped up? Why do I see that there is not a single person in your restaurant? Do you, a profiteer, want to stock up on wine for a high price? Tell you, I am happy today. Even if the price of wine is ten times higher, I will drink a few jars here!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked for trouble: "Don't be angry, please calm down, let me down first. This restaurant was really wrapped up, but the people from the restaurant said that if the guest really wants to drink, please invite you to drink together in the backyard, and you won't charge you money!"

After hearing this, Mu Li put down the shopkeeper and asked anxiously: "Where is that person? Why don't you take me there?"

The shopkeeper immediately pointed to the direction of the backyard. Seeing this, Mu Li pushed the shopkeeper away and rushed directly to a hall in the backyard that could accommodate hundreds of people.

"Come on, come on, do it, drink this bowl, and have another bowl, ah..."

“Double and do it…”

As soon as he entered the hall, Mu Li was stunned and saw dozens of people sitting around the felt blanket, drinking and eating meat. The leader was smiling and unable to see his eyes, holding a wine bowl and constantly urging him to drink.

This person was Wei Ji, the diplomatic department officer who threw Wei Ying to Shangling, who immediately came to the New City outside the Frontier to "understand the people's conditions".

Mu Li subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, but when he found that there were many people around him, he felt a little relaxed and went straight to Wei Ji.

"Are you the one who owns the restaurant?" Mu Li asked.
