"You guys, take out all the road guides and your respective household registrations."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

Although they had just seen that the guards who inquired were strict, they did not expect that these people even had to check their household registration.

The man guarding the carriage looked a little ugly, but he didn't wait for him to speak.

A household registration was handed out from the carriage.

When the guard saw that his household registration was in the capital, he immediately frowned.

"Are you from the capital?"

Wang Zhen looked a little bad, but he still responded.

"Just a moment."

Everyone watched as the man holding their household registration was about to leave, but the old man in the carriage stopped him again.

"This young man, please give this to your general who defends the city."

Although the guard didn't know why, he was shocked when he saw that what the old man handed him was the pattern used in the army.

Not daring to delay any longer, he bowed to the old man and left in a hurry.

"Report, General, there is a suspicious person at the city gate."

Li Juntong was originally analyzing the terrain from Qingshui County to the border.

Suddenly I heard someone outside the door reporting that there was a problem at the city gate, and I couldn't help but frown.

"come in."

When he saw the soldiers guarding the city, Li Juntong asked, "What happened at the gate of the city?"

"Back to the general, a group of people from the capital came to the city gate. One of them, an old man, gave a token and said he asked his subordinates to bring it to you."

Li Juntong was confused.

But when he took the token, his eyes widened.

"You said this token was given to you by an old man?"

The city guard nodded.

But before he could ask any more questions, Li Juntong had already strode towards the city gate.

When he saw the old man in the carriage from a distance, Li Juntong couldn't help but walk a little faster.

"Old General."

When Li Juntong saw the old man, he bowed his hands and bowed, his eyes full of respect.

The old man is none other than General Wang.

Originally, he thought he would see Zhang Siyuan soon, but he did not expect the guards in Qingshui County to be so strict.

But considering that His Majesty said before that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stationed here, he could understand.

"Younger boy of the Li family, I haven't seen you for many years, but you have grown stronger."

"When you sneaked into the military camp, your father and your second uncle almost broke down the door of our Wang family."

Li Juntong felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what happened back then.

"I was ignorant back then and caused trouble to the old general."

General Wang shook his head.

"I should be happy to have a general like you in our great Zhou Dynasty."

"At worst, I'll change the door in a better way in the future and let your father and your second uncle kick me more."

Li Juntong was helpless. The old general would not let him go.

There were many people at the city gate, and Li Juntong was relieved after he invited the people into the city.

General Wang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Li Juntong's expression.

"You Qingshui County guards are very strict, but what happened?"

Li Juntong hesitated for a moment, then thought that General Wang should also know about the Fanbang people, but he no longer concealed it.

"Old General, the Japanese people were restless some time ago."

"Not only did they send a caravan to Qingshui County to find out the news, but some people even sneaked into Qingshui County and caused a series of tragedies."

"This matter was only concluded some time ago, and the Fanbang man is now in jail."

"But Linxian County is not stable either. We in Qingshui County can't afford it."

When General Wang heard Li Juntong's words, he also agreed with his face.

"Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is unclear, it is only right to protect their respective counties. You did not do anything wrong."

Li Juntong was not scolded and was relieved.

"I wonder why the old general came to Qingshui County?"

General Wang also knew that the Li family had retreated to their hometown, Qingshui County, a year ago.

Li Juntong should know more about things in Qingshui County than he does.

General Wang didn't hide it from him either.

"I came to see His Highness and Zhang Siyuan. These are the white flowers His Majesty gave them."

General Wang pointed at the things they brought. Li Jun was stunned and immediately remembered the letter Zhang Siyuan sent him not long ago.

"It turns out that I'm looking for General Zhang and His Highness, the old general. They live in Xiao Zhangzhuang now. I'll have someone take you there."

General Wang didn't refuse, after all, they really didn't know much about Xiao Zhangzhuang.

But it would be great if someone leads the way.

Everyone originally thought that this trip to Xiaozhangzhuang would be the same as the previous journey, with bumpy roads.

Unexpectedly, after they left the county town, the entire road was as flat as a straight road.

General Wang, who was sitting in the carriage, noticed something unusual and couldn't help but opened the carriage curtain.

When he saw the gray cement road, he immediately understood that this was the cement road His Majesty spoke of.

"I didn't expect that this cement road is really so smooth."

The soldier leading the way also looked happy when he heard this.

"Yes, this cement road is now the only one in Qingshui County besides the border."

It can be seen that Xiaobing is also proud of this matter.

When Vice General Liu and the people delivering cement went to the border, General Wang had already returned to Beijing.

This was the first time he had seen city walls made of cement and roads made of cement.

"Is this also from Xiaozhangzhuang?"

Xiaobing nodded, "It is indeed from Xiaozhangzhuang. This road is also the earliest cement road in Qingshui County."

This time, General Wang did not lower the curtain of the carriage, but sat on the edge of the carriage and observed the surroundings.

Seeing all the shops along the way, he couldn't help but frown.

"I heard that Xiaozhangzhuang is a small village. Why doesn't it look like it?"

"And why do your shops in Qingshui County open outside the city?"

There were shops all along the way. If they hadn't done an inspection just after leaving the city gate, they really thought they had not left the city.

The soldier's smile continued.

"This is the first time the old general has come to our Qingshui County. I'm afraid he doesn't know the situation here."

"Our commercial street is newly built, and behind this shop is a residence. People who open the shop don't have to go back to rest, they can rest in the shop."

"And this street leads directly to Xiaozhuang, and at the end is the village of Xiaozhuang."

"Because there is a pier over there, there are a lot of shops here."

Everyone was surprised. They had never heard of that dock appearing in a small village.

At first, Wang Zhen was quite dissatisfied because his father was coming to this small county town.

Unlike his third brother, he is a person who likes to do business.

It was only because of family reasons that he did not go into business.

Now that he saw the various differences in Qingshui County, which were completely different from the small Poro County he imagined, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
