The undulating green desert, with sparse trees and a tenacious vitality in the desolation, is the scene of the savannah.

It was an important cotton producing area in the later colonial period, many areas have fertile black soil, and there is little precipitation, so the soil is particularly suitable for growing cotton, also known as black cotton soil, but nowadays, cotton is not particularly used in India, a small amount of planting can meet the needs of the aristocracy, and suitable for this precipitation conditions and fertile soil corn and other agricultural products are still in the Americas, so this vast plateau has become a barren area that is not densely populated, In particular, the area of Chalou is only in the northeast of the Deccan Plateau, which is also a mineral-based mining area in later generations.

A manor with a population of several hundred families is already a relatively large settlement.

Now, the northernmost branch of the Western Expedition of Sasarosi discovered such a large settlement, and immediately rushed over with a howl under the guidance of the commander.

When the auspicious day of the zodiac arrived, Chhattisgaro proclaimed himself King of Juehu and marched west against Caliani.

The army of the king of the Guardians was divided into four routes, and marched side by side towards the present capital of Jarliani.

In fact, although the other three routes went around in a large circle to conquer the lands on all sides, if they were all extremely smooth, they should have reached Caliani before the main force of the King of Juego.

The Chinese army under the personal command of King Jue Hu seemed to be rushing towards Caliani in a straight line, but in fact, its movement was extremely slow, because the biggest purpose of this armed force of tens of thousands of people seemed to be to transport the huge stone statue of King Jue Hu to Caliani, the huge stone statue several meters high, afraid of thousands of pounds of behemoths, even if the stone platform and the base were separated, even if there was a huge wooden cart with wheels to transport, and elephants were used as pulling tools, but it had to be transported hundreds of miles or thousands of miles in the rugged terrain of the wreckage hills, ramparts and ditches in the northeastern part of the Deccan Plateau. The difficulty can be imagined.

However, King Kakuho and his most trusted Brahmin monks and vassals believed that by transporting his huge stone statue to Caliani and placing it in the center of the city, he would become the rightful owner of the domain of the Zarian, the new king of Jaroqi.

Lu Ning is no wonder about this kind of brain circuit, no wonder that the Chola Empire, established by the Tamils in the southernmost part of the sea, actually beat the Indians in the traditional sense of the inland in the south-central region of the Deccan Plateau for a long time, but it is only a topographical relationship, and it is not easy to invade the north, but the Chula Empire has a prosperous navy and prefers to conquer coastal territories, and the coasts it conquers even reach as far as the coasts of Myanmar and Cambodia in the later period.

The five hundred Akaju warriors led by Lu Ning were incorporated into the northernmost route.

The Temporary Commander was the Great Lord under the command of King Kakugo, and provided 1,500 warriors to support King Kakugo.

King Xizeng's 500 Upora warriors were also on the northernmost route, plus some other small and medium-sized lords, and there were more than 4,000 warriors in the Legion of the Dead Legion, some of which were driven by dozens of elephants as a baggage team at the end.

Many of the manors encountered along the way were expected to fall by the wind, and many of them took the opportunity to overthrow the original manor lord's rule, and of course, only limited to the power struggle between the higher races.

And the big settlement that was just discovered was behind a ruined mound, and I don't know why, but the outpost sent by the Dead Illus didn't find it, and I don't know if these scouts were like Pig Wuneng, looking for a place to sleep and then returning.

Generally speaking, the surrendered settlement owner of the manor offered goods, food, etc., to avoid the ransacking of the manor.

Lu Ning was not welcomed, and went all the way west, and also received hundreds of gold and silver coins.

It's just that Indian coins are more mixed, the weight and purity of various dynasties are very different, and even the coins of ancient Rome are still in use, that is during the period when China has not yet arrived in India during the Maritime Silk Road, the Romans used silk porcelain and other seas to India by land, and the Indians traded pearls and gemstones, for a long time, they all used official currency, and later even affected the Romans' own monetary system, which was mostly bartered in the later period, but Roman coins have appeared in India in large numbers, and because of their weight and purity unity, Much higher credit than India's native currency.

Of course, coins and so on are only used by the higher races, and the lower castes and the untouchable (untouchables) are self-sufficient locally, so they barter for what they need, and they don't need to trade anything with money at all.

Nowadays, the actual Daqi gold and silver coins have become the new favored credit currency in the coastal ports of India, and even paper money has been recognized by some Chula merchants, but it takes time to spread and spread, and it is not common in the interior.

Of course, according to the concept of later generations, Daqi naturally has an absolute surplus with these overseas countries, and earns more real money back.

In addition, the gold and silver mining in Goryeo and Dongying entered the mature stage, and the gold and silver reserves were beyond the reach of the previous dynasties.

Of course, this has also caused the high prices of Daqi, and the purchasing power of consistent money, or a Daqi silver coin in the local area, is not the same as that in overseas neighboring countries, and for overseas countries, the salary level of Qi people is also breathtaking.

It is Mo to say that Lu Ning is the Jingnan soldier of the Great Qi Southern Expedition, under the extremely high subsidy, I am afraid that the hundreds of gold and silver coins of uneven quality that Lu Ning has now distributed, I am afraid that it will not feel that it is such a rich wealth, after all, it cannot be used in Daqi, and if it is rebuilt, I am afraid that the net content of one gold will not be enough.

Lu Ning rewarded these coins to his subordinates, and every time he rewarded them, he was like thunder.

This big settlement that appeared in the field of vision now, Lu Ning would not be interested, of course, it was useless to be interested, he made the rest of the lords wait, and the slaves carried his silver throne, surrounded by armored warriors and slave warriors, and walked towards the settlement.

Standing on the dirt slope and watching from afar, Lu Ning suddenly turned his head with a feeling, dozens of steps away, King Xizeng also looked at this settlement, beside him, there were two tall Indian beauties, thin gauze and light tight clothes highlighted their hot bodies.

Lu Ning also learned a few days ago that these two beauties were not the maidservants of King Xizeng, but his granddaughter, two sisters, his eldest son Zheluo and the second wife who entered the door, and they had already reached the marriageable age, although Kshatriya women do not have to marry children, but it is extremely rare for his two granddaughters to be seventeen or eighteen years old and not married, it is said that it is because after the birth of these two granddaughters, King Xizeng had a smooth journey, and he felt that this was a blessing given to him by God, so he refused to marry his granddaughter early.

When Lu Ning looked over, King Xizeng happened to look at it too, and then paced over.

This old man, it can be seen to the naked eye that his life may be gradually coming to an end, and his body exudes an old atmosphere, as if he is much older than when Lu Ning first saw him, but the pride of the old days supports him, his bearing is calm between pacing, and his waist is as straight as when he was young.

The first time Lu Ning saw him, it was a few months ago, as the wife of the princess of Shaxi Kingdom who fled to Wu Porluo, at that time, as a refugee under the fence, King Xizeng only hosted a banquet to entertain him once, and after that, Lu Ning was treated coldly.

Now, Lu Ning, like him, has become a local lord on an equal footing.

"Vikramaditya, let us forget all the unpleasantness of the past, I will marry my two granddaughters to you, and from now on the descendants of King Xizeng and King Chaori will become best friends and relatives for the rest of their lives, are you willing?"

King Xizeng got straight to the point, but Lu Ning was stunned, he never thought that the old gentleman would have this proposal.

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, first of all, the most malicious speculation, but gradually, it felt like the great wisdom of this old man.

In fact, there are quite a lot of lords like King Xizeng who marry the main members of the family, marrying a powerful big lord, maybe they will threaten the inheritance of their descendants in the future, and marrying a small lord may not be willing to marry you, unless it is the same as the future generations, give too many dowries and dowries, so choose more lord families with the right door.

And marrying himself, first of all, he can solve a major matter in his heart, that is, because of the dispute initiated by his second son Karava and himself, which is his biggest headache now, and he won Akaju in a short time, obviously in his opinion, after the marriage, it will become a very solid ally for him.

Moreover, he is also the only young lord who has not yet been seriously married, and the so-called wives he marries are either widows or lowly families, so his granddaughter will definitely be favored when she marries, and it is far better than marrying the descendants of other manor lords who have the right to inherit.

As for sisters marrying the same person, it is very common in India today, and it is much more advantageous for sisters to take care of each other, which is much more advantageous in a large family.

It's just that when this condition is proposed, King Xizeng seems to have lost his strength and is old enough, but if you carefully analyze the pros and cons, from the perspective of the Xizeng Wang family, you have to say that this is the wisdom of the old man.

Since coming to this world, in various capacities, Lu Ning doesn't know how many marriages he has experienced, and it is also a good choice to be an ally with this old man, after all, he is an outsider, and he has to do what he wants to do, and it is not good to be too isolated after all, but if he marries this old man, then what about his promise to Mi Jiluo, he has promised, not only to help her keep Gabi Manor, but also to help her become the master of Wu Luo, and bring Wu Luo as a dowry to marry him.

But if Uporo can become a solid ally of his own on a stable basis, it will actually be more beneficial to him than to annex it.

After all, he didn't want to be a class crusher in southern India, helping it break the old order and rejuvenate this land that had been solidified and dead.

At this time, King Xizeng said: "Zheluo will inherit most of my property, Karava, my second son, I only hope that he will live in peace." ”

Zhera is his eldest son, that is, the father of the pair of delicate Indian sisters around King Xizeng, but King Xizeng likes the second son, and there was a rumor that he was going to distribute most of his property to Karava, and now it seems that he may have seen his sons very thoroughly, and the original rumors may not be true.
