Chapter 278: Expedition to the South

"Hehe, if this is all nonsense, the old man wants you to mess around more." Niu Jinda said with rare gentleness.

"Hey, hey! Hey! Feng Daiwen touched his head embarrassedly and smiled, not knowing how to answer Niu Jinda's praise.

"The old man was young at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the whole family was starved to death, and he had to survive alone, and there were many tragic things about changing children and eating, and the people of the Tang Dynasty had no worries about food and clothing, and the virtuous nephew really contributed a lot!" Niu Jinda sighed.

"Uncle Niu has won the award, this is the result of everyone's efforts, the little nephew does not dare to be greedy, and the people of Datang still have a long way to go if they want to have no worries about food and clothing!" Feng Daiwen said with a subtle smile, and he also understood why Niu Jinda was so enthusiastic when they met for the first time, and treated him differently.

"Virtuous nephew doesn't need to be modest, at least in the old man's opinion, this is already very good, and the rest is just a matter of time." Niu Jinda stopped and patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Uncle Niu said very well, promotion, planting takes time, business is active for a long time, businessmen can drive the development of a place." Feng Daiwen didn't expect Niu Jinda to look like a reckless man, but he saw things so thoroughly, it can be seen that there is no vanity under the fame, and none of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are simple characters, simple-minded, and they can't live now.

"Well, you said that these old men don't understand, but if you need help, even if you open your mouth, the old man will definitely support you." Niu Jinda listened to his explanation, and began to pretend to be a rough man, shaking his ugly face and saying.

Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong, and now I want to add Niu Jinda, who is obviously delicate, pretending to be rude by his appearance, I don't know how many simple people he deceives, but this is also their way of life.

Feng Daiwen didn't care about this, anyway, he knew it, so he was so happy, and followed Niu Jinda into the Xichang Mansion.

"Defending the country for two years, are you okay?" Li Xiaogong said with a smile standing at the door of the hall.

"Why is the king here?" Feng Daiwen was stunned for a moment and said unexpectedly.

"In the holy word, come to guard Shuzhong, first, to guard against Tubo, Nanzhao, and secondly, Shuzhong was not effective in promoting new grain last year, and this king came to supervise it." Lee Hyo-kung explained.

"Hehe, the king of the county, this is the capable person who works hard." Feng Daiwen realized that he had just arrived, no wonder he hadn't heard of it, and he thought that this was also Li Shimin's special dispatch just in case.

"Aye!" Li Chongyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I've seen the county king!" The others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Let's all be exempt!" Li Xiaogong was not so good at talking to others, including his son, but just said lightly.

…………

"Weiguo, you have to give the old man an idea, if there is not much improvement in this Shu, the old man will have no shame to return to Chang'an to face the saint." After Li Xiaogong sat down, he said to Feng Daiwen.

"Why did the king of the county say this? The country of abundance in Shuzhong is rich in products, and there have not been many wars, so it can be regarded as a rich place. Feng Daiwen said puzzled.

"Hehe, the old man is here, naturally he can't return in vain, since Wei Guo is here, of course he is not allowed to just supervise it, so Wei Guo, you have to give the old man a few good ideas." Li Xiaogong touched his beard and smiled.

"The king of the county has won the prize, Shuzhong's specialties, salt, tea, silk, as long as the scale is increased, operating in a collective form, the natural interests are greater, and the new grain is promoted, in a few years, Shuzhong will inevitably be more wealthy, this is a little bit of a little nephew." Feng Daiwen thought for a moment and said.

"Hehe, yes, it's all my own family, you can't hide it, if you have any other ideas, let's talk about it." Li Xiaogong said with a satisfied smile.

It's really a family, Li Xiaogong is Li Yuantang's nephew, the same generation as Li Shimin, Feng Daiwen should be called uncle.

"There are also a lot of mineral deposits in Shuzhong, rich in saltpeter, cinnabar, copper ore, since Nanzhao has many captives, it is better to escort a group to come to mine." Feng Daiwen saw that Li Xiaogong was not satisfied, and it was worth continuing.

"Hehe, since the virtuous nephew has spoken, the old man is welcome, just send some more and hand them over to the old cow." Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda glanced at each other and said with a smile.

Feng Daiwen reacted at this time, and fell into the trap of two old foxes again, asking for talents is the main purpose, and salt tea is an unexpected harvest.

I thought I had a calculation for a long time, so I waited for the fish to take the bait, but I was stupid and opened my mouth automatically.

"In the mountainous area of Shuzhong, there are quite a lot of ethnic minorities, so it is better to lure them to take advantage of them, use salt, food, cotton clothes and other materials to let them go down the mountain and accept the unified arrangement of the government, which can also increase a lot of population, so that there is also a lot of labor." Feng Daiwen thought for a moment and continued, it is better to let them go to trouble others than to keep thinking about themselves.

"Haha, the old man knows that Wei Guo is a real person, worthy of the God of Wealth in the world, when he is a handsome man in the world, a Lingnan jade unicorn, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth." Li Xiaogong got what he wanted, and the windfall was not small, he laughed happily, and all kinds of praise and money spurted out.

For this kind of behavior of taking advantage and selling well, Feng Daiwen had to smile bitterly.

"What is the current situation of Nanzhao, and I would like to ask Uncle Niu to introduce one or two and point out to the little nephew." Feng Daiwen asked Niu Jinda what he was most concerned about.

"The largest six young and strong departments of Nanzhao are no less than 300,000, and the Wei family and the Liu family led the two tribes, and the other four have been broken, either caught mining, or fled into the mountains, and now the family is all staying in Nanzhao mining, and they are not moving forward, and the old man's troops are insufficient, so he can only stay here to receive minerals!" Niu Jinda grinned, as if he already knew how unhappy Feng Daiwen was.

Feng Daiwen did catch fire, and it was a good way to win over a group and fight a group, but it should be wiped out, so that many people fled into the mountains and suffered endlessly, and it was not conducive to governance.

"The family may have fled, concealed minerals, and populations." The corners of Feng Daiwen's mouth twitched, and he continued to ask.

"They dare! There is an old man here, if this is the case, the old man would have killed them a long time ago, and asked their family to apologize, but unfortunately they didn't give me an excuse. Niu Jinda smacked his lips regretfully and said, it seems that one or two teams have not been destroyed, and Lao Niu is also a little disappointed.

"It seems that there are a lot of smart people, Uncle has a topographic map of Nanzhao here, can you lend it to the little nephew." Feng Daiwen also regretted that he had one less reason to do it, so he had to do it

"Yes, these families have built a road for their wealth, and this is the only good thing they have done." Niu Jinda said as he took out a few base maps from the dark grid and handed them to Feng Daiwen.

"Thank you, Uncle Niu, this is a great help, I asked someone to copy a copy and return it to you." Feng Daiwen took a look, and almost all the terrain of Nanzhao was drawn, and he couldn't help but say gratefully.
