Wang Lan nodded frequently at first, feeling that it was in his heart, but the more he went to the back, the more frightened he became, he seemed to have seen that under Du Jia's policy of light tax recuperation, coupled with the rule of the Qingming officials, how prosperous the Dezhou Mansion would be in the future, if Du Jia could really do what he said, he was absolutely sure that he could increase the income here tenfold within ten years, and at that time, even if Du Jia still only received one percent, it would be equivalent to the income of the entire Dezhou Mansion at this stage.

This is only the premise of one capital in Texas, if Du Jia can take a few more cities or even the entire Qingzhou... The old man didn't dare to think about it anymore, he was completely scoffed at Du Jia's rebellion at first, thinking that even if they could fight again, it would just take advantage of the lack of attention from the imperial court, and the army would be over as soon as it arrived in the future, after all, the war was fought to the end of the war with money and food, although the old man was not good at military affairs, but this truth was still very clear.

But now he suddenly felt that this was not a joke, it was no exaggeration to say that as long as Du Jia could take Qingzhou and give him another ten years, even if the treasury of the entire imperial court may not be as much as him, after all, although the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty were many, most of them went to the private warehouses of the royal family and magnates, and Du Jia was all used here in the place where it should be used, and the imperial court could really 'exterminate' Liangshan at that time? What's more, there are still so many thieves in the world now, and the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be on fire everywhere.

An incredible word suddenly appeared in the old man's mind - a change of dynasty?

Wang Lan was suddenly shocked, for him who has deeply rooted the word loyalty and righteousness, this is simply a big rebellious word, he has never dreamed of this matter for more than fifty years, if anyone dared to say this to him half an hour ago, he must have risked his life to fight with the other party, but at this moment he was in an extremely conflicted mood, because he could feel that Du Jia was really thinking about the people, this guy would definitely not respect the king, but he was patriotic, these two things that should have been harmonious and unified were separated by him here, But Wang Lan faintly felt that this didn't seem to be impossible...

Du Jia didn't know that the waves in the old man's heart were monstrous at the moment, he ordered the Liangshan army and horses to withdraw from Dezhou City again after he finished the matter, and left this place completely to Wang Lan, of course, he promoted Han Feng to be the commander here, responsible for all military operations and assisting Wang Lan, since the moment he killed Wang Lang in public, it was equivalent to embarking on the road of no return to rebellion, and the hatred of the imperial court for this kind of traitor was still above the people of Liangshan to a certain extent.

Seeing that another boiled duck flew away, many people began to complain, and even Lin Chong advised: "Jia Shao, I really don't understand, what is the benefit of doing this for us?" I have no objection to continuing to retain people from the imperial court to manage this place, and even give them the position of Taishou, but we have nothing to gain, wouldn't we go down the mountain in vain? ”

All the generals nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with Lin Chong, Du Jia did not answer directly, but pointed forward with the horsewhip in his hand and said slowly: "Brothers, do you know where I am looking now?" ”

Qin Ming said: "Mengzhou City? ”

Duggard shook his head.

Lin Chong said: "Qingzhou? ”

Duggard shook his head again.

Wu guessed with great courage: "Could it be Tokyo Bianliang?" ”

Many people gasped, wouldn't taking Tokyo mean that the ultimate goal of the rebellion had been accomplished? It seems a little early to think about this.

Unexpectedly, Du Jia still shook his head, and then said: "There is a vast grassland behind Tokyo, on which there are powerful nomads such as the Western Xia, Liao, and Jin, and behind them it is said that there is a boundless sea, I want to go through the grassland, cross the sea, and go to the other side of the sea to have a look, and see what it looks like." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, they had never thought of such a distant thing, and they didn't know why Du Jia said this, Lin Chong asked why he gave up Ping'an one after another, and the right to rule the two capital cities in Texas, and Du Jia's answer didn't seem to be directly related to this question.

Seeing that everyone was stunned or sluggish - of course, there was also Shi Jin's expression of conviction, Du Jia smiled faintly and said: "Brothers, this world is very big, far more than Qingzhou, and even more than the Great Song Dynasty, my goal is to make all the places that human beings can reach become the territory of our Liangshan, where the people can live and work in peace and contentment, stable and peaceful, and happy, instead of the current situation of being displaced without food and clothing."

So whether it is Ping'an Mansion or Texas Mansion, it is just two small seeds, I have given it the right soil, temperature, water, and fertilizer, and I also want to see what kind of growth they can be, and I also hope that everyone can be patient with me, it only takes a year to achieve initial results, everyone believe me, give me a little time. ”

Although everyone still couldn't fully understand what Du Jia meant, let alone what seeds, water, and temperature were compared to these agricultural things, their confidence and loyalty to Du Jia for a long time made them all nod silently.

In fact, what Du Jia said is that the seed is peace, the three prefectures of Dezhou and Mengzhou, and the suitable soil is to let them get rid of the rotten bureaucratic system of the original Song Dynasty, the temperature is the policy he gave enough tolerance, the water is to retain the more honest and capable part of the original ruling officials, and the fertilizer is almost completely free from paying taxes, in other words, these three prefectures can temporarily reach the point of modern democracy in later generations, which is also a kind of governance model he considers in the future. Now I want to see if it is suitable for this era in a year or so.

If it is suitable, it will be extended in the future, and if there is a problem, then find a way to study and solve it, Wang Lan thought of changing the dynasty after hearing his idea at that time, which is only half right to some extent, in Du Jia's view, the change of dynasty is inevitable, but he does not want to just let the Song Dynasty change its master, he hopes that all the ethnic groups under his rule can live in harmony and live happily.

Of course, these are indeed too far away, and they are beyond the comprehension of the generals, so Du Jia did not explain further, but he looked at Yaoyao, his eyes seemed to have crossed the plains in the north, Mengzhou City, Qingzhou Mansion, Tokyo Bianliang, the vast grassland, at this moment, in his eyes, it seemed that there was only a sea of stars.

There are always people who want to harm me...
