Yangong Que'er finally gave up, tears fell, and she saw Hao Li and Bao'er go away with the army.

As soon as the army arrived in Jianning, Cai Wei brought the officials of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate and Jianning to greet him, and suddenly a messenger came from Jiaozhou, claiming that he was ordered by Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie to offer Liu Zhang a generous gift.

On the field, the entourage of Jiaozhou messengers opened more than 100 boxes, revealing heads, two of which were placed in front of Liu Zhang, which were Zhu Bao, Meng You, and more than 100 barbarians who fled to Jiaozhou.

"Shu Hou, my lord Shixie, has led the state for many years, worships in the north every day, never betrays the heart of the Han, Shu Hou is virtuous and political in Jingyi, deterred in Xiqiang, educated in the wilderness, has outstanding merits, and is a hero of the Han Dynasty.

My lord respects Shu Hou, day and night, full of praise, only to say that the world's heroes, only Uncle Liu is also, Uncle Huang will be like Emperor Guangwu, the Han Dynasty, rebuild the prosperous world.

My lord will never dare to disobey the order of the imperial court, and it is the blessing of the people of Jiaozhou to be able to focus on Shuhou.

Today, there are little barbarians, Zhu Bao and Meng You, who came to my Jiaozhou with a group of rebels, in a vain attempt to confuse Lord Shixie, my lord Geng Geng is loyal, how can he turn his back on the court and be the enemy of Shu Hou? I am here to present the head of the anti-thief, please wait for inspection. ”

Liu Zhang stepped forward and glanced at Meng You and Zhu Bao's head.

The messenger clapped his hands, and a dozen more people came out of his entourage, followed by ten beautiful women, all dressed in simple hunting suits.

The hunting suit is a style made by the people of the Southern Wilderness Mountain, for convenience, but at the beginning of its birth, it was just a wrap of some rag animal skins, and the current hunting clothes are basically worn by the nobles of the Southern Wilderness, except for retaining the characteristics of tightness, it has nothing to do with hunting.

More than a dozen attendants opened the box they were holding. Revealing the glittering gold and silver jewelry. The ten women looked very clean. The face is simple and unpretentious, and he is wearing a tight-fitting hunting suit, which has a unique flavor.

"Shu Hou, my lord admires Shu Hou, and specially sent some Jiaozhou specialties, agate, sapphire, and jade. A box of ivory ornaments, ten beauties of North Vietnam, in addition, my lord heard that Shu Hou has a grand ambition to reopen the Southwest Silk Road four hundred years ago, and specially invited to construct the border section of Jiaozhou, which will be completed on schedule, and does not need Shu Hou to allocate a penny or a grain of grain. ”

"Oh?" Liu Zhang grabbed a handful of jewelry, even the palm of his hand shone brightly, and put down the jewelry. Ask the messenger, "What's your name?" What is the official position? ”

"In the younger brother of Corporal Xie, Shi Yi. He is currently the Taishou of Heura. ”

"Okay, Benhou accepted these things, but you said that Lord Shixie admires me and is willing to obey the orders of the court and serve Benhou as the master, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Hear, my lord." Liu Zhang said with his hands down.

"Huh?" Shi Yi raised his head.

Liu Zhang said strangely: "What? Jingzhou Yizhou, as well as the officials of Yunnan Prefecture, all call Benhou the lord, since Jiaozhou is the main one, is there a new rule? ”

"Don't dare."

"Then why not?"

Shi Yi's face turned the color of pork liver.

"If you want to call it, what nonsense." He yelled.

"What are you doing? Lord Shiyi is a Sven, don't scare others. Liu Zhang scolded so much, and turned to Shi Yi and said: "Okay, you take these things back, when will I experience the new rules of Jiaozhou and then take them back." ”

"My lord." After struggling for a long time, Shi Yi finally cried out, his lips trembled, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"That's right." Liu Zhang smiled and patted Shi Yi's old face: "Go back and tell Shi Xie that Jiaozhou is the territory of the Han Dynasty, don't think too crookedly." ”

"Yes, yes, Shu Hou warning, I must bring it."

Shi Yi left the jeweled beauty and left with his entourage.

"Lord, Shi Xie disobeyed and sent people to show friendship, although he did not obey the orders of the lord, but now we are not able to expedition to Jiaozhou, why is the lord so insulting to Shi Yi?"

Huang Zhong was faintly worried, he had lived in Jingzhou for decades, and he was familiar with the rules of the clan, and the clan had many shortcomings, but the loyalty of the Han clan was basically carried forward by the clan.

If a child of the clan calls the lord, he will be loyal for life, otherwise he will be despised by the people of the clan.

Shi Yi was born in the largest and only family in Jiaozhou, and Liu Zhang forced Shi Yi to call the lord when he was unwilling, which was definitely a great insult.

Liu Zhang smiled softly: "Old general, do you know why Shi Xie sent Shi Yi?" is afraid that after we finish conquering the Southern Wilderness, we will conquer Jiaozhou, perhaps many people think that we are unwilling to conquer Jiaozhou, but Xiqiang and Southern Wilderness are all conquered by us under this psychology.

Shi Xie, as the lord of Jiaozhou, it is impossible not to consider this, the Shi family has been entrenched in Jiaozhou for more than 100 years, the tree has deep roots, and he lives the life of the soil emperor, he has no intention of expanding, and he is afraid that others will get involved, Shi Xie regards Jiaozhou as the property of the Shi family.

The reason why Shixie sent people here was because they were afraid that we would attack, and if we were tough, they would be even more afraid, and if we were weak, Shixie would not take us seriously. ”

Jiaozhou was almost in a semi-independent state during the entire Three Kingdoms period, until the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Luo Yue and Jiaozhou had a war, a little bit of encroachment on the land of Jiaozhou, after several generations of independent annexation, in the Five Dynasties period, it was finally divided out of a large territory, became the territory of modern Vietnam.

Shi Xie was also revered as the king of Shi by the descendants of Vietnam.

Jiaozhou was the territory of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu, several generations of wise kings, who sent a large army to conquer and consolidate it, and it must be the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Huang Zhong bowed and said: "The lord is really insightful of people's hearts, and the general will admire it." ”

Liu Zhang smiled, insight into people's hearts? At the beginning, Huang Yueying said to herself that the reputation of the tyrant is a double-edged sword, when the world is rampant, this sword will cut at herself, and when she really rises, this sword will become a sharp weapon in her hand.

When the enemy heard that the Sichuan army was coming, he was already frightened before he saw the army.

Shixie is like this, to curry favor with Liu Zhang, there is no reason to talk about it, he is just afraid, purely afraid of Liu Zhang's attack, no matter what the current situation of Jingyi is, no matter whether Jiaozhou has strategic interests in Liu Zhang, Shixie is afraid.

"Yueying."

Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yueying, who was playing with Guan Yinping in the distance, silently recited a sentence, walked in front of those jewels, and picked out five pieces. He said to the notekeeper on the side: "Ten beauties." Awarded to the general with the greatest merit in this expedition against the Southern Barbarians. Regardless of the barbarians, all the jewels and ivory will be rewarded. ”

"Yes."

"Shi Xie is really generous, I didn't expect a remote place like Jiaozhou to be so rich, one day I will go to see it."

Liu Zhang gave a string of white jade pearl bracelets to Xiao Furong and an ivory necklace to Cai Wei.

"Yu'er, bring in the representatives of the merchants stationed here, I have something to explain."

"Yes."

"You and the officials of the Protectorate are also here."

"Yes."

Liu Zhang was about to enter the city. Cai Wei took the ivory necklace and complained: "Husband, doesn't this look exquisite?" "Cai Wei actually prefers things that are shiny and look younger.

"If you don't like it, pick one yourself."

"Oh, that's it." Cai Wei saw that Liu Zhang's face was a little tired, but he didn't dare to bother him anymore, so he went to pick one himself, no matter how good the pick was, was it good to have Liu Zhang?

…………

"Now the wilderness has settled. It was renamed Dianzhou and five cities were built. As a five-county county, the southern Xinjiang capital was moved to Shacheng, which borders Jiaozhou, renamed Yunnan, expanded the city, and took Yunnan City as the state of Dianzhou. ”

Cai Wei and the officials of the Imperial Protectorate, and the representatives of the Yizhou merchants stationed in Jianning discussed the establishment of a new state...... After listening to Liu Zhang's words, Cai Wei frowned and said, "Husband, this will cost a lot of money?" ”

"The money will be allocated, but you don't expect too much, you can figure out the rest by yourself, in fact, the newly built Yunnan City does not need to expand too many things, the main thing is to build the city, as for the interior of the city, don't worry about it first, if the Southwest Silk Road is built, there will naturally be merchants to move in, and it will naturally prosper."

Now the role of Yunnan City, the first is to coordinate the Silk Road with the southern Xinjiang capital, the second is to defend Jiaozhou with the Wuxi Border Army and the South Central Border Army as the mainstay, and the third is to govern the Yunnan Prefecture to control the newly established Yinkengdong, Yinye Cave, Ba Nadong, Wugo State, Diagonal Thorn Cave, and the five counties, and slowly bring these places into the rule. ”

"Yes." Cai Wei stubbornly agreed, Liu Zhang's words are simple, just these three points, in addition to the expenses of the Silk Road, a lot of money is also needed, but now Jing Yidu is still in the recovery period, and he can only settle for it, and then find a way to get money.

"The Southern Xinjiang Protectorate still has a task, to help the barbarians farm, and there are still many places in Dian Prefecture that are suitable for farming, such as the two hundred miles of fields in Yinkengdong.

Many other places are barren, and some drought-tolerant crops can also be planted, and if Champa rice is successfully introduced, it can also be planted, and it is best for the southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate to send officials to be responsible for the cultivation of the six counties of Yunnan (plus the newly established administrative office Yunnan) and assign the task of clearing wasteland. ”

"Yes." Cai Wei finally understood that officials are not so easy to be officials, and after the soldiers finished the battle, it was their turn to spill their blood on the heads of civilian officials.

"Also." Liu Zhang looked at those merchants: "There are a lot of goods in Nanzhong that can be sold to the Central Plains, herbs, animal skins, needless to say, there are also a lot of copper ore, silver ore, iron ore, especially silver ore, silver smelting cave, silver pit cave, silver moon cave and other places, all of which are silver ore gathering places, and the barbarians mine shallowly, so please leave it to you." ”

A few businessmen, you look at me, I look at you, all show excitement, and a businessman said loudly: "Shu Hou rest assured, we will definitely use our Han mining technology to vigorously explore mineral deposits, and this move will definitely bring a lot of financial revenue to the pastoral government." ”

Liu Zhang waved his hand: "Forget the financial revenue, for the mineral deposits in Nanzhong, within three years, Benhou will only collect a symbolic tax equivalent to one percent of the Jingyi mineral deposits, but how to take over the mining rights from the barbarians, and how to coordinate the disputes with the barbarians."

Although our government will help you, most of them have to be solved by yourself. I just remind you that more concessions are given to the barbarian nobles. ”

"Yes, naturally."

The culture of the Han people and the barbarians is very different, so friction is naturally indispensable, but as long as the barbarian aristocracy is well established and the national beliefs are compromised, generally speaking, the friction will be controlled to a minimum.

"Give profits to the barbarian nobles, don't be stingy, in addition, you should also sell some of Jingyi's luxury goods to the barbarian nobles as much as possible, porcelain, silk, all as much as possible, within five years, these Benhou will not charge a penny of taxes, but if the sales are not effective, I may cancel your qualification to settle in Dianzhou."

"We will do our best."

"Alright, let's disperse."

Liu Zhang waved his hand to everyone, the businessmen and officials retreated, Cai Wei came up and leaned on Liu Zhang, and said softly while pinching Liu Zhang's back: "Husband, are you a little uncomfortable, you can go to bed while serving you." ”

Liu Zhang hugged Cai Wei and kissed her on the cheek: "Yu'er go to sleep first, tomorrow will be very busy, and my husband still has some things." ”

Cai Wei felt that the place on his back that was pressed by Liu Zhang was knocked by something, and then looked at Liu Zhang, who stood up and left, holding a string of things with blue light tightly in his hand, which was an ornament that Liu Zhang chose in the Jiaozhou gift.

A total of five pieces of jewelry were selected, one each for Xiao Furong and Cai Wei, and the two pieces of jewelry were saved, but Liu Zhang kept this jewelry with him, "Who is it for?" "The other two are saved, one must be Huang Yue's, and the other one? To whom? Cai Wei rubbed the ivory pendant on his chest, thinking abruptly.

…………

"Oh, you can't, look at me."

Guan Yinping was ordered to protect Huang Yueying, inseparable, Guan Yinping was wielding a big knife in the courtyard, practicing the knife technique taught by his father, Huang Yueying sat on the stone steps and watched for a while, and finally couldn't help it and shouted loudly.

Saying that, he stood up, took the big knife in Guan Yinping's hand, and played it whirringly, it was really much more powerful than Guan Yinping, and the dancing tigers and tigers were like a storm, which made people dizzy.

"Boom."

Listening to the sound of a series of falling apart, Huang Yueying split the spears, knives and spears on the weapon rack into two pieces with a single sword, and the big knife in his hand was also cut off, and there were large blades and wooden sticks on the ground.

"Too light, too brittle, no."

Huang Yueying threw away the wooden stick in her hand and shook her head in disappointment, Guan Yinping was stunned as she watched from the sidelines.

"Strategist, do you know martial arts? Still so powerful? ”

"Strategist? Oh...... It seems that I am a military advisor, what does a military advisor do? Do you teach martial arts? Haha, I'm really good. ”

"Can you teach me that knife technique you just had?" Guan Yinping asked expectantly.

"Am I not a military advisor? Of course, military advisors who specialize in teaching martial arts, of course. ”

Guan Yinping was following Huang Yueying to learn the knife, Liu Zhang walked in, only to see Huang Yueying seriously instructing Guan Yinping to learn martial arts, patting Guan Yinping's arm from time to time to correct his posture.

"Yinping, is Yueying better?" Liu Zhang asked.

Guan Yinping shook his head, after practicing the knife, a layer of fine sweat on his forehead wiped it with his sleeve, and Huang Yueying on the side was still playing with a big knife.

Liu Zhang sighed, called back the high-spirited Huang Yueying, Guan Yinping entered the house, and Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying sat on the steps.

Seeing Liu Zhang looking at the sky in the distance, his eyes didn't blink, and he didn't speak for a long time, Huang Yueying stretched out her palm in front of Liu Zhang's eyes and waved, "Hey, stupid you, lord, why are you sullen every time I see you, be happy." (To be continued.) )
