Before Xiao Qu finished speaking, several executives of the Four Seas Trading Company had already led more than a dozen employees of the Four Seas Trading Company to put all kinds of good things on everyone's tables, and at the same time carefully explained the names and uses of these things to everyone.

What attracted these local natives the most was the variety of fine wines in glass bottles, and when they tasted it, they showed a look of fascination, and when the employees of the Four Seas Trading Company whispered to them that these bottles of wine and this set of crystal wine glasses could be given to them, their eyes lit up with excitement.

In addition, white sugar, rock sugar, toffee and a variety of snacks, cakes, meat floss, roast beef jerky, roast whale jerky, ice cream, etc. are also generally popular; When it was introduced that glass lamps, perfumes, kerosene lighters, and music boxes that can be used on rainy days, these dirt buns were even more dumbfounded, and they couldn't pull out their eyes, these are all good things that they can't dream of.

"You see, we have good things in the Four Seas Trading Company, and these things are all given to you, you can watch them slowly when you go home, play slowly, and there will be more and more such good things in the future."

Xiao Quzhi clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "However, we are not fools, and we will not give good things to disobedient people in vain, or ungrateful and wolf-hearted."

All this is conditional, that is, you must cooperate with this king's land reform and return to the stream, organize households and people, and turn this place into an ordinary county in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhao Meiqiu said: "King Lanling, you want to turn this place into an ordinary county of the Tang Dynasty, so what should we do?" ”

"That's a good question." Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "After this place is changed to a county of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court will only send a small number of officials, teachers and technicians.

Important positions here, such as the history of thorns. Prefectural ordinances, etc. It's mostly up to you locals and former captured officials like Zheng Hui. The officials sent by the imperial court will serve as your deputies, who will be specifically responsible for supervising and guiding your work of reforming the land and returning to the people and organizing households and people.

Teachers and technicians teach children to read and teach them all kinds of advanced techniques, such as farming, building houses, building roads and canals, and making all kinds of tools and utensils. In addition, the Four Seas Trading Company will settle here, do business with the locals, and set up workshops here. Let the lives of all of you and the people here be better and better.

So, although this place has been changed to an ordinary county in the Tang Dynasty, it is actually managed by you locals.

It should be emphasized that after the household is organized into a unified household, the people here will be the same as the people in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, enjoying the benefits brought by various policies, but also having to pay taxes and serve a certain amount of forced labor, but the first year of tax and forced labor will be completely exempted. In the second and a half years, from the third year, it will be the same as the people in the mainland of Datang. ”

"King Lanling is thoughtful. I admire it. Duan Jianwei stood up and said, "Then what is the status of our Dali Duan clan?" ”

"Dali Duan's dedication to the city has meritorious, this king has been on the table Your Majesty, canonized two as the king of Dali and the general of Yunnan, as long as you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, dedicated to the king's affairs, you can Yongzhen here."

Duan Jianwei sat down with joy, when Xiao Qubing proposed to turn this place into an ordinary county before, although the two protested, they were helpless, and when they were worried and disappointed, they didn't expect that the king of Lanling finally made them the king of Dali and the general of Yunnan, which made them how could they not be overjoyed.

Yang Bangjiao, Zheng Hui, Jiang Ruzhi, Lou Jing, Zhao Meiqiu, and other indigenous leaders of the Five Edicts also stood up and asked what their status was, and the answers were all satisfactory to them.

Yang Bang and Zhao Meiqiu are still the military generals of Yunnan, managing the place, commanding the soldiers and horses, and the leaders of the five edicts are also managing their own clansmen, for the county order, for the history of the assassin.

And Zheng Hui, Jiang Ruzhi, Lou Jing and other officials also had to stay in Yunnan and assist King Dali in managing the place, or as a county commander in the history of assassination, or in charge of various specific affairs.

It can be said that although the land has been changed and returned to the stream, the benefits obtained by these local natives who surrendered to Cheng are not at all less than the original, and the Duan family and the original five edicts have made a lot of money.

Of course, the original Mengshezhao people and the Nanzhao soldiers and village soldiers who did not surrender in time were pitiful, and each man had to kill two Tibetans in order to gain freedom for himself and his family.

But none of them felt pitiful for them, the world is like this, and the happiness of some people is based on other suffering.

What's more, before Nanzhao was a slave society, most of these people were slave owners who ruled others, and now becoming slaves is also a retribution, plus before they failed, they also pulled out tens of thousands of white barbarian slaves to send them to death, and the hatred would have been stretched to the fullest, if it wasn't for the Tiance army to stop it, a massacre and extermination was almost inevitable, and before Mengshezhao broke through the river barbarians, it was almost exterminated.

The crowd was all elated, Xiao Quzhi arranged for his henchman Zhang Yan and several executives of the Four Seas Trading Company to continue to explain the specific work behind, Zhang Yan was going to be left as the assistant of King Dali, and they should be allowed to get more contact and understanding.

Then when Xiao Quying was about to say goodbye and leave, Yang Pang stood up and asked in a low voice: "King Lanling, there is still something unknown about the lower officials......

"What else don't you understand?"

"King Lanling's arrangements are meticulous and thoughtful, and the officials admire him, but can Lanling be the master of this matter alone? After all, nominally, this place is under the jurisdiction of the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy. ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled, Zhang Yan was unhappy, he was a person with knowledge, ability and feelings, and he was angry when he mentioned Yang Guozhong: "Hmph, you don't know yet, Yang Guozhong lost the army and misled the country, and His Majesty is ready to stop letting him lead the Jiannan Jie envoy from afar." ”

"Is that true?" Yang Pang couldn't help but shout loudly, and the faces of the others changed suddenly.

Since Xian Yu Zhongtong became the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, although Yang Guozhong has been in Chang'an, but all the things in Jiannan are controlled by Yang Guozhong, before Jia Hao built Yaozhou City was out of Yang Guozhong's will, and later Jia Hao was captured by Ge Luofeng, and he has been scolding Yang Guozhong and Ge Luofeng, and was later ordered to be executed by Ge Luofeng.

Therefore, the people of Nanzhao also know that Yang Guozhong is a powerful and straw traitor, Yang Guozhong, as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, happens to be in charge of them, and they are all afraid that they will talk to the king of Lanling here, and Yang Guozhong will be in chaos again.

Xiao Quzhi said: "Your Majesty did not explicitly exempt Yang Guozhong's remote leader Jiannanjiedu envoy, but just asked him to concentrate on doing a good job in his Zhongshu Order, Nanzhao's affairs, Your Majesty has entrusted the king with full powers, and all affairs can be done cheaply, what, do you want to see the holy decree?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Yang Pang was dumbfounded, stared blankly at Xiao Quai, and shook his head excitedly after a few breaths.

Not only was he stunned, but the other people in the hall were also surprised, over the years, Yang Guozhong has been famous in Nanzhao, they all know that Yang Guozhong is the elder brother of the Tang Emperor's favorite concubine, and now he has become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor doesn't care about anything, and the entire court has the final say on Yang Guozhong alone.

And the king of Lanling, because he only developed in Dugi Province, almost couldn't get along with Nanzhao, almost no one knew about Nanzhao before this, and now everyone only knew that King Lanling was very capable of fighting, very rich, and a disciple of the gods, but they didn't expect that the power of King Lanling was even greater than that of Yang Guozhong, and now they were all relieved.

After saying this, Xiao Qu said goodbye, to be honest, he didn't like these specific affairs, he was too tired.

Therefore, for more than a year, he has tried his best to set up a "think tank" similar to that of later generations, and most things are conceived by him and Li Qi, and then the think tank is dialectically reasoned and then perfected.

These things, in fact, have been formulated before coming to Nanzhao, but at a critical time, Xiao Quzhi still has to go out in person to talk with these local natives, which shows an attitude that others are not enough to talk about identity and are not convincing.

Just when the hinterland of Qiannanzhao was turning upside down, Chang'an and Fanyang, thousands of miles away, were also surging.

Almost when the 20,000 Tiance army just arrived in Anning City, An Lushan also made a move, and on the first day of the seventh month, An Lushan sent his deputy general Neng Yuanhao to Chang'an to play to Li Longji, asking for 32 generals to replace the Han generals.

Prime Minister Yang Guozhong and Deputy Prime Minister Wei Jiansu jointly admonished Li Longji, saying that An Lushan was doing this to prepare for a rebellion, and asked the emperor not to agree.

Li Longji was very unhappy and said: "I will treat Lushan with all my heart, and he will have no different ambitions." In the past two years, Lushan has devoted himself to the king's affairs, calmed down twice in one fell swoop, and contributed to the Tang Dynasty. Now that the remnants of the two sins have not been cleared, it is the time to sweep away the remnants in one go, so why not ...... Lushan to accept the hearts of the generals who surrendered."

After Wei Jiansu argued with reason, he said the suspicious points of the incident, Li Longji was furious, and the two no longer dared to speak, so Li Longji ordered the letter to send a day edict and sue him.

As a result, An Lushan successfully cleared out all the Han generals from the army under his command, and almost all of his generals were Hu generals.

At the same time, the economic situation of An Lushan's Hebei Huren group was on the verge of collapse, because of the economic oppression of the Four Seas Trading Company, they raised so many private soldiers, as early as more than half a month ago, An Lushan spent all the money and savings he had accumulated before.

In order to prevent the soldiers under his command from mutiniing because of arrears of wages, An Lushan swept and slaughtered the Northeast Murwei and Jing Ya at the same time, he had begun to let the soldiers under his command pretend to be robbers and rob the Han families in Hebei.

The head of the Fanyang Lu family has many marriages and contacts with the other five surnames and seven families and the four surnames of Guanzhong, and these families abound in the courts, so there are constantly people suing Li Longji that An Lushan will rebel.

Li Longji was so annoyed that he ordered on the eighth day of the seventh month that anyone who sued An Lushan would be sent to Fan Yang, so everyone in the world knew that An Lushan was going to rebel, but no one dared to say it.

On the other hand, the prince of Hui Yehu died suddenly, and Gele Khan was grief-stricken, and the next day, Gele Khan was bedridden due to a stroke, so he appointed his second son Yidijian as the crown prince to supervise state affairs.

In Luoyang City, Li Qi, the king of Jianning, who stayed in Tiance Mansion, received the letter eagle released by Zhu Qi of Youzhou and Zhang Xiaogou of Huifu at the same time, and came to the Qin Wang Palace of Tiance Mansion in a hurry, and reported the situation to Qin Yiyan and Cao Xueyang.

Cao Xueyang frowned and said: "It seems that the Great Commander's prediction is wrong, but I'm afraid that within this year, Youzhou Hu will be reversed." (To be continued.) )
