The leaders also gathered, and after saying a few words of thanks, they cautiously inquired about the movements of the Qin Cha in Shanchun Mansion to Xiao Jiangbei, and by the way, they also had a long-term vision to understand the future development of Liaodong.

This is not Xiao Jiangbei's responsibility, so there is nothing to say. However, Gu Qiluo was very interested in this question, so he said to several leaders: "What will happen to Liaodong?" Of course it will get better and better, and your life will get better and better......"

Without waiting to finish speaking, he listened to Yan Ming and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from Madame, ten years ago, the governor of Liaodong also said the same, but over the years, we have only seen more and more immigrants in the Guannai, but not only is our life not better, but more and more sad, the appetite of the officials is getting bigger and bigger, take ginseng as an example, ten years ago we only need to pay a tribute of 1,000 catties a year, but now, we have to pay a tribute of 5,000 catties a year, this is only on the surface, and the private requests of the Shangguan are not counted." There are also all kinds of wild game in the mountains, and now our men go into the mountains to hunt day and night, but in addition to paying various tax claims, the rest is not enough to feed their families, where is this getting better and better? It's clear that it's getting worse and worse. ”

Zhong Chunfeng said: "If you are always in the deep mountains and old forests, there is naturally nothing wrong with fishing and hunting. But now that you have come out and want to live a better life as a citizen of Great Xia, this kind of life is not suitable for you, the Shangguan exploitation you just talked about, this is there, but since the emperor has sent a messenger, the situation will always improve in the future, but even if it improves, are you satisfied? Still want to live like this for the rest of your life? Live in a stone house. Hunting in the bitter cold in the winter? ”

"So what? We won't plow the land either. The other tribal leader sighed and muttered, "We want to farm, but who will teach us?" Those people in Kannai only regarded us as barbarians. He didn't even want to say a good word, let alone teach us to farm. ”

Gu Qiluo glanced at Zhong Chunfeng and secretly picked a thumbs up, this product just led the topic to where she needed it, so she smiled and said: "The people take food as the sky, as Daxia becomes more and more prosperous and powerful, your population will also increase." It is not a way to always rely on fishing and hunting, but it is still necessary to learn to cultivate land and grow grain in order to ensure a good life. If it's because no one teaches, it's not difficult, as long as you have the heart to learn, I'll solve this point. ”

Wan Yanming glanced at Gu Qiluo. Then he looked cautiously at Xiao Jiangbei. His complexion changed for a while, and then he spoke: "Madame sent people to buy a large amount of land in Liaodong, I ...... That one...... I already knew before, but it was really rare for us in Liaodong to spend so much money to buy land, and I happened to meet it, so I inquired about it, that ...... I didn't mean to spy on Madame's whereabouts......"

"It's nothing, I'm paying for the land. How can you be afraid of people to find out? Only then did Gu Qiluo understand why Wan Yanming was so spitting, obviously he was afraid that he and Xiao Jiangbei would misunderstand. However, what he said was not intended to inquire about his whereabouts, this is nonsense, he is the leader of the Jurchens, Xiao Jiangbei is famous, and he is the governor of Liaodong, how can he not understand? This is a major event related to the life and death of the Jurchens in the future.

Because he smiled faintly: "Since you all know that I have bought a lot of land, then we can talk more openly." In fact, last year's little land is nothing, after the spring of this year, I still want people to open up the wasteland, the land in Liaodong is very fertile, but now it is a large piece of wasteland, can only grow wild grass, it is really distressing, so I have sent people to recruit people from the Guannei, after the spring will reclaim the wasteland, and wait until the trade line from Liaodong to the capital is formed, and the business is profitable, I will also invest some in the land, if you have the heart to take you people of all ethnic groups to learn to open up the wasteland and farm, although come to me. ”

As soon as the words fell, the leaders with sad faces immediately became active, these people were straightforward, thinking of the kindness of Gu Qiluo and Xiao Jiangbei, and now they want to help their tribe open up wasteland and farm, even if it is a price, in the long run, this is to give the backward and primitive tribesmen a bright road.

Only Wan Yan Ming's face was full of contemplation, he was a wise person, otherwise the Jurchen would not be able to dominate one of these tribes, he looked at Gu Qiluo and those leaders discussing enthusiastically, Xiao Jiangbei just looked at it lightly on the side, and was quite undecided in his heart, and suddenly heard Gu Qiluo say: "I seem to be a little hesitant after reading Chief Yan, I don't know where I have any questions?" Though you may speak, whatever I can answer, I will say everything. ”

Wan Yan Ming's heart sank, and secretly said that this Mrs. Xiao is really good, she is dealing with so many people, but she can still see in detail that I am hesitating. Because he frowned and thought about it, thinking that the tribe was oppressed, the people were miserable, I don't know how many people were devoured by natural and man-made disasters, and the mountains and rivers devoured their lives, in any case, what Mrs. Xiao said was an opportunity, if they really really helped, the various ethnic groups in Liaodong would definitely have a bright future, but the cunning of the people in Guannei, he had seen it more than once, and he knew that this seemingly bright opportunity was not a trap? It's just that in the face of such a predicament, it seems that he can only gamble.

As soon as he thought of this, Wan Yanming simply let it go, raised his head and looked at Gu Qiluo with a heavy gaze, and he said in a deep voice: "I know that in the past two years, there have been many conflicts between our tribe and the government and those immigrants in the Guan, there is no way, the government oppresses us so much, the big guy breathed a sigh of relief in his heart." In the past, some immigrants from Guannai also said that they wanted to teach us how to farm and open up the wasteland with us, but in the end, they only let us work and taught us nothing, and gave us a few catties of grain in the autumn to perfunctory. Now Mrs. also said that she would teach us to farm and open up wasteland, but didn't she also have such an idea? ”

"The heart of a villain." Xiao Jiangbei's face sank, how could this wife-protecting madman endure a barbarian to question his wife's kindness? Because he said coldly, he was about to pull Gu Qiluo away, and he would no longer deal with this barbarian who didn't know what to do, but when he saw his wife shaking his hand and pressing it down, he said: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, not to mention that they have already suffered losses, and it is normal for the leader of Wanyan to ask for a clear understanding." ”

Wan Yan Ming smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I know, Lord Xiao must be thinking that I don't know what to do, since the emperor formulated the policy for the development of Liaodong and transferred the people from the Guannei, the Lord and Mrs. are the only people who have considered for us, and even gave us great benefits, this point, I am grateful to Wan Yan Ming, just with this kindness, if there is an order in the future, I will never give up." ”

"The leader of Wanyan is self-respecting, you are the leader of the Jurchens, you can't say this kind of thing." Xiao Jiangbei snorted lightly and coldly: If a tribal leader says such a thing, what is it once it is spread? He doesn't want to rebel, what does he want a Jurchen to do without giving up?

Wan Yanming was stunned for a moment, and then said ashamedly: "Yes, I didn't think it through, just to express my gratitude to the adults." It's not that we Jurchens don't know what to do, and we know in our hearts who is good to us. But...... Cultivating wasteland and farming, this is a major event related to our future life and death, I can't make a decision regardless of the previous favor of adults, I always have to know what conditions Mrs. has? And what do we get in return for it? Is it possible to lift my people out of poverty? After all, if Madame is cultivating land in Liaodong, it will not be a small fight among the people in the Guannei before, if possible, I hope that my people can all participate, so I have to carefully consider the consequences, otherwise if I am not careful, my people will be doomed. ”

"Won't you send a small group of people to give it a try?" Zhong Chunfeng came up with a weird idea next to him, and was glared at by Gu Qiluo, she understood Yan Ming's concerns: first, the Jurchens and various ethnic groups were facing tremendous pressure, and the constant friction with the Great Xia government gave them little time to try; Second, what if you are tempted? If you really want to deceive people, you can lure them at the beginning, but in the end you suddenly turn your face and be ruthless. With Xiao Jiangbei as her backer, she can completely harm everyone and get away with it.

Thinking of this, she sighed and said to Wan Yan Ming: "Now even if I give Wan Yan Leader any guarantee, there is no basis for what I say after all." In this way, if you can trust me, we will make a contract, naturally we don't need to do it now, I think you also need some preparations, and I have to make a good calculation on my side. Not! Then after the beginning of spring, before the Qincha returned to Beijing, we made a contract in front of the Qincha and put all the conditions on the table, so that there was finally a layer of guarantee, what do you think? ”

Wan Yan Ming was dumbfounded, unable to speak with his mouth open, Xiao Jiangbei thought that he still refused to agree, and hated it in his heart, and wanted to pull Gu Qiluo away, but after seeing Yan Ming, he slapped his thigh violently, and said excitedly: "Madame can think about us so far, which shows your sincerity." In that case, we will do it with you. ”

Gu Qiluo wiped his forehead, and felt that the black lines on it were enough to get a strip: Dare to love Yan Ming is also a straight-tempered person, what do you mean by her? She's not an underworld.

"Leader Wanyan, Mrs. Xiao, it's not that we don't want to help with all our might, but this wasteland farming, it always has a time, right? Nor can it be sown to-morrow and reap the grain the day after tomorrow. During this time, we always have to eat and live, so ......"

After seeing Yan Ming say this, several other clan leaders were not willing to lag behind, but the problem was also very realistic, because they complained one after another, they were only afraid that Gu Qiluo would misunderstand them. And Wan Yanming also considered this problem at this time, and his smile disappeared. (To be continued......)
