At a loss, most of the time it is because you can't see the road ahead, but when someone talks about the future results in front of you one by one for you to choose, the confusion does not exist.

Although it is a little cold-blooded, but in fact, this is not a difficult topic to choose, the whole family dies or takes refuge in Liu Yi, it is possible to keep the whole family, even if the whole family dies, there is a chance to take revenge?

Ah Hei made a rational choice, but it could be seen that his mood was not too high, Guan Ping and Zhang Bao were still guarding against him, every other distance, they would inquire about the route, and if one stone deviated from the established route, they would immediately stop marching, but this time, Ah Hei obviously didn't have any more thoughts.

The Ma brothers came to Liu Yi's carriage and sat opposite Liu Yi, but they didn't speak, the atmosphere was a little dull, but when Lu Lingqi added tea for them, they bowed their heads slightly to express their gratitude.

This has just entered Nanzhong, and it has been calculated, and even the person behind the scenes does not know, even if Ah Hei reported some information, it was only reported by Qianwei County Lord, although someone has been ordered to check, but Ma Liang and Ma Jian are very clear that this line is easy to break, and even if it is found out, I am afraid it is not very useful, and in the end it is still necessary to meet each other, and before that, in order to stabilize the other party, you have to pretend that you don't know anything, even if you do the master book, you can't do it with this matter, Because Liu Yi obviously doesn't want to and can't tear his face with those people in Nanzhong now.

"Looks like something has stepped on their line!" Liu Yi groped his chin and said, "I don't think they can see our true intentions. ”

If the other party is so far-sighted, he will not keep shrinking in Nanzhong and not coming out, don't talk about it far, just say that it is near, this Shu has been in the Zhongping period until now, almost forty years, the Yellow Turban has made trouble, Liu Yan has also made trouble when he entered Shu, and then Liu Zhang's ascension to the throne may not be a smooth road, he is really capable, he has long been big, not in this place in Nanzhong.

Liu Yi is more inclined to believe that the purpose he declares to the outside world may touch the interests of the other party.

"Copper?" Maleonn pondered.

Liu Yi claimed to the public this time that he came to Nanzhong to mine copper coins in the name of Shaofu, but if this is the case, it will be difficult to do, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the other party as soon as he comes.

"This seems to be the only thing I can think of now." Liu Yi nodded, this is a very helpless question, but from another point of view, if the tumor in Nanzhong can be bulldozed, it will directly save the effort of finding copper mines, and you can directly mine copper coins, although the purpose of this time is mainly to pacify the Nanban, but it is true that Liu Bei is short of money now.

"Does Tinghou have a plan?" Ma Liang looked at Liu Yi and asked.

"What do you think?" Liu Yi didn't answer, but looked at Ma Jian beside him, although this guy is a little ambitious, his eyes are above the top, there is no one in his eyes, and he is arrogant, but his brain is still very good.

"Show the enemy weakness, ignore it, first go to Zhuti to establish our base camp, pave bridges and roads, and make good alliances with all the southern barbarian tribes, but there are not many places to use money in this southern land." Ma Tan pondered: "We can use the method of barter, and even provide us with a place to recruit Jingshu traders to trade here, and we are responsible for maintaining order and establishing a relationship of trust with the various tribes of the Southern Barbarians step by step, so as to win their hearts." ”

"Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Ma Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a good idea, the reason why those Nanzhong wealthy clans are so arrogant is that they monopolized the trade between the barbarians and the Han people, wantonly squeezed and exploited the barbarians, and threw this pot to the government, but they are good people in the middle, if they can directly communicate with the Nanban, then these Nanzhong wealthy clans don't have to deal with it, and they will quickly weaken.

"Not bad!" Liu Yi nodded, put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Just act according to the plan!" Jingxiang and Shuzhong Haoshang need to contact in this regard, and we have to win the trust of the barbarians, so everyone has to earn, but the price cannot be inflated, it has to be appropriate, and this matter is often done. ”

"Whoa!" Ma Tan bowed down to receive the order, got up and said goodbye, his expression was a little excited.

"Tinghou, the young man is lonely and tall, I'm afraid this matter will not be done well." After Ma Liang left, he looked at Liu Yi with a worried face, Ma Liang knows too much about his younger brother's temperament, if you don't have a certain ability, even if your status is higher than him, he should look down on you or look down on you, this kind of contempt is not just superficial, on the surface, he will still be polite, but when it's really time to do things, if you want to use him, you have to follow your own way, then dream about it.

"That's why he was allowed to go." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to defeat the crowd, he is not arrogant, let him do these things now, he may fail, but the opponent is these wealthy clans in Nanzhong, it is a barbarian, in the words of the prince, that is, the chickens and dogs, the rabble, we can afford to lose, such a proud person as young as Chang, if he fails a few times, he can always sum up some lessons, and his temperament will calm down, but if he is not given the opportunity to lose now, he will fight against Cao Cao every day, then he is really useless, at that time, a victory or defeat, Maybe it's related to the luck of the two countries, and we can't afford to lose! ”

"Pavilion Hou Gaojian!" When Ma Liang heard this, he said to Liu Yi with some gratitude.

His family knows his own affairs, although Ma Liang himself is known as the best in white eyebrows, but in fact, he has reached the limit, and it is impossible to reach the level of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in this life, but Ma Jian is different, he has this opportunity, but compared to those top strategists, Ma Jian lacks a kind of calmness.

Now Liu Yi obviously wants to train Ma Jian through this incident in Nanzhong.

"It's not a high opinion, it's just that we want to compete with Cao Wei, there must be enough talents to compete with Cao Wei in terms of talent in the future, ordinary talents are not difficult to cultivate, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can do a lot, but like top talents, they can't be cultivated by hard work, if they don't have this talent, I don't bother to say more." Liu Yi stood up, stretched his waist and said, "The road in Nanzhong is really rugged and difficult to walk, and after it stabilizes, we have to build a road first." ”

In fact, Liu Yi's conditions are already good, his carriage has attribute bonuses, and sitting in it is far comparable to ordinary carriages in terms of stability and comfort, but it still feels less comfortable than that flat road.

Ma Liang sat here for a while and then said goodbye and left, after all, Lu Lingqi was also in the carriage, which was always a little inconvenient.

The map is spread out on the table, and at this moment, in addition to the place name, many things have been added, such as Jianning Yongshi, Yue Wangyi Wang Gaoding, Zhu Bao, and various cave masters all over Nanzhong, most of Liu Yi have never heard of the name, all of them are the information that has been passed back from these days, Liu Yi summarized these locations one by one on the map, but the current information, and only know that there are these people, what is the character, and the national characteristics, which are not clear at the moment.

Just look at those chaotic caves, I don't know, I think how prosperous this Nanzhong is, but in fact, the miasma everywhere in Nanzhong seriously hinders the reproduction of the population, these caves, small ones have one or two hundred or even dozens of people, and the most are only a thousand people, and no matter how many they are, they can't survive.

In my heart, Liu Yi actually really wants to help these people, unlike the Hu people in the north, whether it is Shanyue or Nanban, in fact, most of them have been sinicized a lot, but few people want to completely sinicize them, or more people, seeing the immediate benefits, only thinking about squeezing them, and even refusing to sinicize them, in that way, their own interests will be damaged, just like these wealthy families in Nanzhong now.

But helping this kind of thing is not wishful thinking, if you want to help them, you must first let them obey you, otherwise, everything you say is false.

……

"Then Liu Yi's men and horses are about to arrive in Zhuti!" Yonghong smashed his beloved porcelain at the staff, and said angrily: "What did you tell me at the beginning!?" ”

"Lord, then Liu Yi noticed it." The staff explained bitterly: "Qianwei has been imprisoned, although it is because of the greed for ink, but I think that Liu Yi is behind the scenes. ”

Yonghong looked at the broken porcelain in distress, and said with a gloomy face when he heard the words: "The master book ......"

"Don't worry, the lord has been resolved, and Liu Yi can't know that it's us." The staff said in a deep voice.

"It better be!" Yonghong snorted coldly and said, "But what if Liu Yi arrives in Zhuti?" ”

Liu Yi came to mine copper this time, this is Yong's biggest source of profit, if Liu Yi is allowed to accept the public like this, how can he be willing?

The staff pondered: "I didn't expect that Liu Yi to be so cautious, but Zhu Ti is too protective of Lu Yuan and is also loyal to the lord, with him, then Liu Yi may not be able to do anything even if he arrives at Zhu Ti." ”

"Go ahead and do it!" Yonghong waved his hand impatiently, and he was too lazy to listen to the other party's so-called clever plan.

"Whoa!" The staff said yes and turned to leave.

A servant came in, bowed down and said, "The head of the family, the leader of the Yi tribe, Meng has asked to see him." ”

"What is he doing here?" Yonghong frowned when he heard this: "Just say that I have something to go out and am not in the house." ”

"Whoa!" The servant said yes and prepared to pass the word.

"Slow!" The staff suddenly stopped the servant, looked back at Yonghong and said: "Lord, Meng Yu is a person who is quite influential in Nanzhong, and he will not be able to use this person's place in the future!" ”

"What can he do?" Yonghong said disdainfully.

"If the lord and the king of Hanzhong tear their faces, the lord can help the Southern Barbarian warriors through Meng Yu." The staff shook his head and said: "This person is quite useful to the lord, according to the opinion of the following, you should treat him well, make friends with him, and it will be of great use in the future!" ”

"Oh?" Yonghong thought about it when he heard this, looked at the servant and said, "Go and prepare, I'll go and meet him in person!" ”

Corporal Lixian's kind of thing, as long as the other party is useful, when necessary, he is still willing to put down his body.

"Whoa!"
