On the way back to Qingsong Valley, Zhong Gui and Fan Xin each talked to their families non-stop, and sometimes let out cheerful laughter. Zhong Gui and Fan Xin also took out the meatloaf bought by Zhang Song and gave it to their own family to eat. Xiaoli, Yuan Shi, and Liu Yi played with Zhong Gui and Fan Xin's younger brothers.

After leaving the restaurant in the morning, Zhang Song and his party went to Fan Xin and Zhong Gui's house. On the way, Zhang Song patiently analyzed the situation in Liangzhou for Fan Xin and Zhong Gui, and asked for their consent to take their families to Qingsong Valley.

When he arrived at Fan Xin's house, it happened that Zhong Gui's family was also at Fan Xin's house. When the family saw each other, they were extremely excited, Fan Xin and Zhong Gui cried happily, and this atmosphere infected Yuan Shidu to wipe his tears.

After Fan Xin and Zhong Gui met with their families and complained to each other, Zhang Song stepped forward to salute Fan Xin and Zhong Gui's parents, and on the grounds that they wanted to marry Fan Xin and Zhong Gui and needed adults to make decisions, they deceived Fan Xin and Zhong Gui's respective parents and happily agreed to go to Qingsong Valley.

I don't know how Fan Xin and Zhong Gui's parents will react when they arrive at Qingsong Valley and know that they have been deceived. However, Zhang Song felt that he had a clear conscience, Fan Xin and Zhong Gui had left with him, it was impossible to go back to Yongping County to live, and from the current situation, Yongping County is likely to change, once the family colludes with foreigners, Fan Xin and Zhong Gui's family is likely to be harmed, and in the case that Zhang Song has no strength to confront foreigners for the time being, it is the best way to return to Qingsong Valley.

Thinking of foreigners, Zhang Song was still a little puzzled.

"Song Jun, you also heard it when you were in the restaurant just now, which side do you think the foreigners that the master of Yongping County wants to match?"

"It's hard to say, the situation in Liangzhou is more complicated, in addition to Xianbei, there are also Qianghu, Xiongnu, in addition to a small number of Di, Qian, etc. As far as the main book of Yongping County says, it is possible for Xianbei, Qianghu, and Xiongnu. ”

"Which of the three tribes is the most likely?"

"I can't judge, the power of the three clans is very large, but I think it's unlikely that it is Xianbei, because the Flying Dragon Thieves are the Xianbei clan, they also attacked Yongping County, and some people have lost their lives because of this, and the hatred between them and Yongping County is not so easy to resolve."

Zhang Song nodded, agreeing with Song Pei's opinion.

"Then, according to Song Jun's opinion, how likely is it that the Li and Wang families in Yongping County will cooperate with foreigners?"

"It depends on the situation in Liangzhou, if the situation in Liangzhou gets worse, then they still have the possibility of cooperating with foreigners, if the current situation or situation improves, it is completely impossible for them to cooperate with foreigners."

"Why?"

"The difference between Huayi, Wang and Li will not be ignorant, how can he serve him humbly!"

Zhang Song naturally knew the difference between Huayi in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Han people at that time always had a superior mentality towards the Hu people, and the Hu people themselves felt inferior to the Han people. For example, many years later, Shi Le said, "Leben Xiaohu, out of Rong descent". And Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang tribe, also said when educating his children: "Since ancient times, there has been no Rong Di as the Son of Heaven." ”

However, even so, Zhang Song did not dare to think that the Wang and Li families would not serve the Hu people based on the concept of the Han people, and the Han people who served the Hu people during this period were not nothing, and the most famous people such as Wang Mi, Wang Meng, Cui Hao, Wang Mi served Liu Cong, the son of Liu Yuanhai, Wang Meng served Fu Jian, and Cui Hao served the Xianbei tribe of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they were not all very happy.

However, Zhang Song did not make it clear to Song Pei that at this time, these people had not yet begun to serve the Hu people, and they also knew it from the history books of their previous lives, so it was impossible for Song Pei to believe it.

"If the Hu people get the support of the Shi clan, the situation is extremely serious, and it is not impossible to sweep Liangzhou." Zhang Song sighed, "The situation is urgent. ”

Song Pei opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Zhang Song said was very reasonable, so he said: "If this is the case, the situation will be very bad." What are the plans of the lord? ”

"Plans? For the time being, there are no new plans, and the general direction is still the same as you told you a few days ago. Song Jun has been thinking about it for the past few days, what are your suggestions? ”

"I think the lord's top priority is to marry Kiko in the next two months after he goes back!"

Zhang Song was silent and did not say anything.

Song Pei didn't stop because of Zhang Song's silence, he continued to say calmly: "Lord, according to our current situation, Qingsong Valley is our best place to stay, and we don't have time to find such a good place to stay." And if the lord wants to master the Green Pine Valley, he must obtain the support of his wife, so he can only ask the lord and Kiko to get married as soon as possible. Otherwise, the great cause of the Lord will be like a castle in the air! ”

Qingsong Valley is basically self-sufficient economically, and it also has a certain armed force base militarily, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack geographically, and politically it is far away from the government and the Hu people.

"After obtaining the Green Pine Valley, the lord can carry out the second step that I talked about, that is, to establish his own banner, recruit troops, strengthen his own strength, and then sweep away the thieves in Liangzhou, and obtain the support of the people of Liangzhou, as long as Liangzhou is captured, then the world can go anywhere, and it is not impossible to achieve Wang Tu's hegemony and win the world." Song Pei didn't care whether Zhang Song was happy or not, since he said it, he simply made it clear.

"The Hu people of Liangzhou often rebel, how is it good?" Zhang Song asked.

"In Liangzhou, although there are many Hu people and many rebellions, the Hu people in Liangzhou rebelled when they could not survive. As long as the lord takes appropriate measures to appease the Hu people, the Hu people in Liangzhou will not only not cause chaos, but may also be used by the lord. ”

"Then why have the Hu people in Liangzhou rebelled all these years?"

"That's because except for Ma Long, the other chief officials are at a loss, and that's why it's like this."

"What countermeasures does Song Jun have?"

"On the one hand, it is necessary to divide and divide into parts, resolutely suppressing those who have ambitions for repeated rebellions, and appropriately allocating land to those who are forced to rebel for the sake of subsistence. On the other hand, it is forbidden for the big families to plunder and sell the Hu people as slaves, dilute the differences between the Hu and Han, expand the similarities between the Hu and Han, and eliminate the estrangement between the Hu and the Han. ”

Zhang Song nodded, all he could think of was this, in short, it was ethnic equality and national integration. It's just that these two sentences are easy to say, but hard to do.

"Why does Song Jun value Liangzhou so much? It's not just me mentioning it to you before, is it? ”

"It's not. Since the last time the lord said the strategy, I have carefully thought about it according to the lord's instructions, although Liangzhou is located in the northwest, but the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and at the same time it is connected to the Western Regions, it is a traffic artery, as long as it is properly managed, it is rich in materials. In addition, Liangzhou produces horses, and there are enough horses to arm the soldiers, which can greatly enhance our military strength. ”

Zhang Song nodded again, it is recorded in the history books of Zhang Song's previous life that there was a folk song in the Western Jin Dynasty called "Liangzhou Dama, kill people", which means that the military strength in Liangzhou is strong.

After listening to Song Pei's detailed analysis, Zhang Song had the bottom in his heart that the path he chose was still feasible. It's just that in this way, Qingsong Valley is in an extremely important position in Zhang Song's strategy, and it is imperative to take Qingsong Valley.

Although from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Song didn't want his marriage with Xizi to look like a political transaction, because from the beginning, he and Xizi purely had a good impression of each other between men and women, without other factors, but in the current situation, marriage with Xizi is a key to solving the dilemma, and it has to be used.

After a long time, Zhang Song nodded and said, "Okay, then Song Jun, you can start doing it, as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. There is another thing, the biggest unstable factor in Qingsong Valley is Zhou Mingshu, if you want to use Qingsong Valley as the foundation of the great cause, Zhou Mingshu cannot stay! Seeing Zhang Song nodding in agreement with his idea, Song Pei was overjoyed.

Zhang Song nodded again, Zhou Mingshu is indeed an unstable factor, and it would be better if it could be removed.

"The last question, I don't know if the lord has thought about it, if after you and Xizi get married, Mrs. still refuses to hand over Qingsong Valley to you and does not give you support, what will you do?"

"I will do everything I can to convince Madame, I believe Madame is not such an unreasonable person."

Song Pei wanted to say something more, but Zhang Song interrupted Song Pei.

"Song Jun, there are a few things I want to discuss with you."

"Lord, please speak."

"Now that we have a direction, we have to divide the work of the people, let everyone do their job, and everyone can't be idle. I plan to set up an organization dedicated to collecting information, called the Ministry of Wind, another organization specifically responsible for the development and creation of weapons, called the Ministry of Industry, and another organization specifically responsible for military management, called the Ministry of War. What do you think? ”

"Lord, this idea of yours is very good, I agree with it, but everything you do must be supported by manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and when we first arrived in Qingsong Valley, there was nothing, and the work was not easy to carry out." Song Pei replied with a wry smile.

"Then we can enlist Madame's support, presumably she will not sit idly by."

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, according to Yu Jun, he was severely criticized by his wife after he went back yesterday, and he hasn't been forgiven to this day, especially after listening to the words of the old merchant relayed by Yu Jun, by the way, even you hate you."

"So Yu Jun didn't come with you today?" Zhang Song asked.

"yes."

"Even if we don't have Madame's support for the time being, we still have to consider establishing the three ministries I just mentioned first, and we can't wait for Madame's support. Song Jun thinks it is appropriate to find which of these three departments to be responsible? Zhang Song was not shaken by the possibility of not receiving Yu Minzhi's support, but was determined to move forward with his plan.

"That's too. May I ask my lord, is this the person who only needs to enter the Green Pine Valley with us? ”

"Except for the people from Zhou Mingshu's faction, everyone else is available."

"If that's the case, since Jun is in charge of the Ministry of War, the old merchant is in charge of the Wind Department, and Liu Yongsheng is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, I don't know what will happen to the Lord's will?"

"There is no problem for Yu Jun to be in charge of the military department, but there are many affairs in the military department, so let Li Shan go to Yu Jun as a deputy to reduce his burden. It's okay for the old man to be in charge of the wind department, let Yuan Shi be the deputy of the old man, after all, the old man is too old, and he can also let Yuan Shi take care of one or two. It is not appropriate for Liu Yongsheng to be in charge of the Ministry of Works, he is equivalent to the big housekeeper of Qingsong Valley, he is too busy, I think it is better for the blacksmith to be in charge of the Ministry of Works, the blacksmith himself is also a craftsman, which is more suitable. ”

There is another point that Zhang Song did not say, he always felt that Liu Yongsheng was not as close to him as Yu Xinzhi was to himself, and Zhang Song also planned to set up a household department in the future, if Liu Yongsheng had no problem, he would be an excellent candidate for the head of the household department. Of course, a more important reason is that a layman leading the technology industry will definitely hinder the development of technology, which is what Zhang Song saw the most in his previous life.

"That's a good arrangement!" Song Pei agreed.

Originally, Zhang Song also wanted Song Pei to take charge of the three films, but after thinking about it, he didn't make a sound.

"It's here, it's here, father, mother, there's Green Pine Valley ahead!" Fan Xin and Zhong Gui cheered in unison.
