After recovering Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, Ma Yun did not immediately return to Changsha with his divisions, he adjusted the defense envoys of each division, and then ordered He Jingzhen and Zhou Xingfeng to return to Changsha and return to Changsha under the formation of the Fourth Army. He stayed in Guangzhou, on the one hand, to preside over the township test ceremony in Guangzhou, and more importantly, to wait for the secret agent sent by Zhao Pu to Jiaozhou.

After the defeat of Jiaozhou in the third year of Tianfu (938 AD), the Liu family severed the relationship with Jiaozhou, so the old ministers of the Liu family did not know much about the situation in Jiaozhou. So, Ma Yun secretly ordered Zhao Pu to send someone to Jiaozhou to spy on the news. After all, since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, although the Central Plains was turbulent, the one-third acre of land in Jiaozhou has always belonged only to China. It was not until 938 A.D. that Ngo Quan (a native of the Central Plains) established himself as the king of Da Viet, marking the initial founding of Vietnam. By the time of Song Taizu, Jiaozhou was officially listed as a vassal and no longer a part of China (it may be that there was a strong enemy of Khitan in northern China at that time, and it also occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun (Chai Rong recovered three states), and Zhao Kuangyin did not use his main energy in the south). Since then, Jiaozhou has never returned to the embrace of the motherland (during the period of Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty, Vietnam was in civil strife, and Zhu Di sent troops to destroy Vietnam, but unfortunately, the people were not used properly, and the Vietnamese devils rebelled every day, barely maintained for more than 2o years, and had to withdraw). After that, Vietnam remained a vassal state of China until it became a French colony (during World War II, Roosevelt asked Chiang Kai-shek if he wanted to give the Indochina Peninsula to China, but Chiang Kai-shek refused for some reason).

But this year is the first year of Qianyou, Wu Quan has been dividing the motherland for exactly ten years, and the people of Jiaozhou may still care about their homeland. Moreover, the Chu army recovered Lingnan and shocked Jiaozhou, if it was handled well, it might not take much effort.

During his days in Guangzhou, Ma Yun often stayed in the newly established Fifth Army barracks, trained with the soldiers, cared about the soldiers' welfare, and he was born without any shelf, so he was easily supported by the soldiers. This Fifth Army was different from other armies in that its main personnel were changed from the Han Army. Therefore, in addition to carefully appointing officers, he also had a lot of ideas for soldiers.

He did not interfere much in the affairs of the eastern province of Guangnan, after all, Sun Guangxian, the political envoy, could be regarded as a talented and loyal courtier, and Li Shu, the observer, was familiar with the affairs of Guangzhou. Sun Guangxian concentrated his main energy in five aspects in Guangzhou, one is to open gold and silver, which is rich in gold and silver resources in Lingnan, after he reported to Ma Yun, in Yingzhou, Shaozhou, Lianzhou, Hezhou, Huizhou, Guangzhou and other places to open eleven silver mines, two copper mines, three lead mines, two tin mines, and in Shaozhou officially set up the first copper coin manufacturing workshop in Dachu - Yongtong Qian Jian, began to prepare for the use of copper coins (lead-copper alloy) in Chu. In the copper coin, the year name was to be minted, and the establishment of the Yongtong Money Supervisor immediately set off a big discussion in the Dachu officialdom. Whether it was Xu Zhongya, Fan Zhen, or the five local political envoys, the five observer envoys, and the supervising imperial historians, they all opposed the inscription of Qianyou on the copper coins. Although our Great Chu is a vassal of the Han Dynasty, there is absolutely no Qianyou on this copper coin, but what is engraved? He Zhongju, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to jump out and quoted scriptures to persuade Ma Yun to ascend the throne as emperor. He Zhongju took the lead, and the other officials of the Chu State had not moved, but the newly surrendered household Shangshu Zhong Yunzhang, Honglu Temple Qing Xiao Yi and other Han ministers followed suit.

The basic national policy of the state of Chu is to make friends with the Central Plains and attack closely, that is, to make friends with the Central Plains and wait for the opportunity to annex Jiangnan. Ma Yun immediately issued an edict and analyzed himself, first stating that he was for the peace of the world, for the sake of billions of trillions of Li people, and he had no intention of being an emperor at all, and then took off his pants and farted, humbly claiming that he did not have any great achievements, and did not have the virtue of the Quartet, and refused euphemistically and firmly.

Ma Yun was not the emperor, and the ministers had to return to the original point, on what words to engrave on the coin, various macro theories, some advocated the engraving of "Da Chu", some advocated the engraving of "Ma", some advocated the engravement of "Wu Mu" (Ma Yun and his grandfather was called Wu Mu Wang), and some advocated the engravement of "Wen Zhao" (Ma Xifan was named Wen Zhao Wang), in short, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and they did not give in to each other.

Ma Yun is so angry, in his opinion, this is not a big deal, isn't it just to engrave a few words? If you hold meetings all day long, you are not pragmatic, you are running up and down, and you are not doing a good job. He also issued an edict, severely condemning this kind of superficial work style, and demanding that Tuoba Heng's Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately take action to impeach this work style of inaction, which is far from being peaceful and prosperous, and the current economic situation is so bad, how can it be done if you don't work hard and hold meetings all day long? As soon as the black-faced Tuoba Heng acted, the officialdom immediately quieted down, but everyone watched with their eyes, this is not a trivial matter, in their opinion, this coinage is like the founding of the country, and our Dachu no longer has to be low.

In the end, Ma Yunqian just made an arbitrary decision and ordered to engrave "Ma Chu" up and down on the copper coin, and "Zhonghua" on the left and right, and finally let the dust settle on this big controversy. He originally wanted to engrave his name on it, but his real name was Ma Guangyun, three words, plus it sounded like "Ma Guangyun", he thought about it and finally decided to engrave Ma Chu.

Sun Guangxian's second direction, is the salt field, Da Chu is the inner 6, this time finally has its own coastline, this is not a good plan, Sun Guangxian inspected Liu's original salt field, after reporting Ma Yun, in Guangzhou and Huizhou, opened Dongguan, Daewoo, Guide, Huangtian and other nearly ten salt farms.

On the basis of Guangzhou's original foundation, he opened up Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Qiongzhou, and Quanzhou as trade bases in Lingnan to expand economic exchanges with Nanyang. As for the north, his attention was mainly focused on Wu Yue, of course, this was also Ma Yun's private order, so that the merchant ships with the people from the wind catcher house secretly observed and measured the ports of Hangzhou, Fuzhou and other places to prepare for the future.

The fourth direction is to change the land and return to the stream, gradually reducing the number of prefectures in Lingnan East Province and gradually bringing them under the jurisdiction of the government. The last direction is to gradually open Ryukyu according to Ma Yun's requirements, and change the name of Ryukyu to Taiwan. After all, during the Five Dynasties, Taiwan was basically a pirate's paradise, and the permanent population on it was sparse, and they often walked dozens of miles without seeing a single person. Ma Yun just asked that those places that are convenient to open into ports and places that are convenient for living should be relocated to the past, and then occupy their feet first.

The rest of the time, he accompanied his wife to the market for a walk, after the last turmoil, there were a lot fewer ruffians and hooligans in the city of Guangzhou, and an economic prosperity scene. Last time, Ma Yunxia ruthlessly rectified Liu's eunuch army, which was well received by the people of Guangnan Dongdao. Due to the approach of the township examination, the number of scholars who came to Guangzhou gradually increased, and some of Liu's demoted officials actually picked up the books again, ready to devote themselves to the examination room, and fought for a brighter future for themselves.

Ma Yun, walking on the street, often hears these remarks: The king of Chu will not know Changsha, not for anything else, but to reflect the importance of the Lingnan scholars. He often laughs dumbly, he doesn't leave, mainly for the sake of Jiaozhou. The Jiaozhou spies have not returned, and the spies in Wuyue have already sent a report - Wuyue is in civil strife.
