In southern Xinjiang, Chen Gong was silent in the handsome tent to the sand table.

Of course, at this time, the southern Xinjiang where Chen Gong was located was not the southern Xinjiang south of the Tianshan Mountains in later generations, but the Yunnan-Guizhou area referred to by the ancient "Southern Xinjiang".

The proportion of the sand table in front of Chen Gong is much smaller and more detailed than Zhang Ren's.

And in contrast, Zhang Ren's sand table focuses more on terrain simulation, and Chen Gong's map ...... Looks more abstract!

The development zone is specially divided into blocks, and representative wood, stone, minerals, various salt wells, and salt springs are placed in it...... A series of resource identifiers.

And the cost of building the road is indicated......

Southern Xinjiang is already rich in gold and silver minerals in the land of China, and after the establishment of stable, reasonable and legal trading channels, it is by no means a place that blindly waits for supplies.

Otherwise, the Shuhou Mansion has already ordered Zhang Ren to row the water and defend it, so why bother holding on to the "Southern Barbarians" and refusing to let go?

The reason why I am reluctant is that I am reluctant to give up the "specialty" of southern Xinjiang.

It's just that for these Xichuan officials, who are accustomed to being "middlemen", they use the low-cost industrial products of Chu to trade their gold, silver, and minerals with the barbarians in southern Xinjiang...... This kind of rapid realization is what they are after.

As for the construction and development of southern Xinjiang? - What's the matter with us?

In contrast, although the southern Xinjiang is still subsidized by the Chu State in general, considering the cost of road repair, the cost of the subsidy is actually much smaller than the cost of road repair!

It is equivalent to mobilizing the people of southern Xinjiang and building roads together......

This road is certainly in southern Xinjiang, but for the state of Chu, it is of no less significance—if the road is clear, then southern Xinjiang has no foundation independent of Chinese civilization at all.

Not to mention, the current funds also include the expenses of Chu Xue's propaganda in the Ministry of Rites.

First, it is because of the efforts of the township and county schools of Chu State, which has greatly increased the proportion of "scholars", and secondly, it is also because Chu Xue is different from the old Confucianism, which itself has a strong spreading power, and also attaches importance to the real bottom, and the "bottom" of Confucianism is also the "bottom" of the scholars, which is far from counting the bottom of the people.

After all, when Confucius traveled around the world, the "savages" outside the city were all similar to the tribal system.

At least there must be a heel to be considered the bottom, and a pure "savage" can only be regarded as a tool......

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucianism was already the most advanced doctrine representative, and it did play a huge role in social progress, but it is too metaphysical to define the current propaganda goal by Confucian standards.

The particularity of Chu Studies, and the popularity of basic education in Chu State, make the Chu State Rite Department have enough manpower to publicize Chu Studies!

As for the north, those migrating tribes, as well as the disputes between the Nanzhong clan and the Marquis of Shu, Chen Gong doesn't want to pay attention to it at all now, and the Chu State also means this!

It's not that I'm not interested, but ...... It's not time to meddle yet.

What the state of Chu needs to do now is to completely take southern Xinjiang into its pocket.

Because of the rugged and closed terrain, southern Xinjiang in the feudal dynasty period, even if it belongs to the same China, has always been very different from the Central Plains civilization, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties of the peak of the feudal dynasty, the proportion of Han people in the Yunnan-Guizhou area has been quite a lot, but when the folk mention "Miao Jiang", they still think of legends such as Gu worms and corpse chasers.

Chen Gong is not only an expert on the battlefield, but also an expert in internal governance, and ...... What he is best at is "playing interstellar" style of internal affairs.

If it is refined to factional disputes, the same party and different parties, speculating on people's hearts, and guiding public opinion...... Chen Gong can only be regarded as quasi-first-class, or even second-rate, but more retreats and less compensation, where it is not possible to "point", is what Chen Gong is good at.

At this time, if others were watching, they could only see the simple sand table, but in Chen Gong's eyes......

The sand table is shrouded in a layer of light and shadow, as if it has come to life, and each grid represents logging, farming, mining, fishing and hunting, and road building...... Mini humanoid shaking for all kinds of construction activities!

Even on each grid, the number of employees and the growth of various resources can be "displayed", as well as the consumption of road transportation......

It is the effect of Mingce that extends to the development of the internal governance category!

The scope is larger than that used on the battlefield, but there is no "detail", only thumbnails and symbolic "textured silhouettes".

The nature of the army made it unnecessary for the Chen Palace to figure out the mentality of all localities and strata to ensure that everyone's interests were maximized, and at least to silence the voices of opposition......

The Pioneer Army will not refuse orders, Chen Gong only needs to arrange manpower and projects, which is very comfortable for him.

The Chen Gong model is actually a summary and induction of the development of Bozhou and Yizhou, and its process, and now the Chen Gong model is also in the vast areas that need to be developed and integrated, including Jiaozhou, and is highly respected and learned.

Although others do not have the ability to "make clear decisions", as long as they calculate and arrange step by step, they are only inferior in deployment efficiency, and they have higher requirements for information mastery.

As for looking to the north, those big clans in the south and the tribes that migrated away, Chen Gong didn't really care very much about the dry bones in the mound.

"Military Division, if you go west, even the Southern and Central Clans are already very rare, do you really want to explore?" Shamoke watched Chen Gong compare on the sand table for a long time, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

Shamoke is still accustomed to calling Chen Gong a "military advisor".

"Exploration is to be explored, even overseas places like Bozhou are being explored, why don't we explore? But Xiaosha, you don't have to worry, go west...... As the altitude increases, there are indeed no people, so there is no need for the army to continue to look at it like this, and the later pioneers are also adjusted to 300 miles, or even 500 miles to a development area, and they can be handed over to the wilderness development army. Chen Gong closed his eyes and canceled the effect of "Ming Ce".

The word "pioneering" means a lofty sense of mission in the Chu State, but it is not a sporty brute, and Chen Gong can also grasp the scale.

The southern Xinjiang area, bounded by the ancient Ailao Kingdom and the ancient Dian Kingdom, that is, the Kunming Kingdom of the later generations, can be more comprehensively developed, and then ...... to the west You can gradually relax a little, after all, the natural environment is here.

Even if the city capital of later generations reached the Kunming line, it seemed to be the edge of the moat, and after going west, the road network began to sparse significantly.

Shamoke heard that he didn't need to delay here any longer, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if he stayed like this, the Wuxi Independent Division would soon be able to enter the number of the Wasteland Army!

"Finally ready to attack...... Ahem, I mean that I can finally go to the rescue of the people of Xichuan and relieve the crisis of Chu? Shamoko's eyes lit up and he asked.

"No, after the matter here is settled, leave a few regiments in Yelang, Talk, Leak, and Mu Mi to set up defenses to prevent the tribes fleeing north from counterattacking, Zhongda will also stay, we will take the other half of the manpower, and go to Jiaozhou first." Chen Gong shook his head and said.

Jiaozhou has coastal convenience, and at this time, the Chu navy is also directly escorting troop carriers, ordering a part of the wasteland army to land directly in the south of Jiaozhou, overseas Leizhou and other places, and the northern army entering Jiaozhou "flanked on both sides".

Chen Gong and Shamoke went to sit down first, so as not to let some tribes figure it out, or the Shi clan would come up with any more moths - the distance was not very far anyway, and this kind of mountainous terrain was also the strength of the Wuxi Independent Division.

Seeing this, Shamoke was a little distracted, and Chen Gong simply diverted the topic and asked, "How is Bai Yiyi doing?" Even in the Chu State, you are now at the age of marriage, do you want me to help you say goodbye? ”

Sure enough, when Shamoko heard this, his face immediately turned up, and he shook his head again and again......

Seeing this, Chen Gong only chuckled lightly and did not continue-in Chen Gong's opinion, it was difficult for Shamoke to "escape".

As for the Nanban invasion of Xichuan or something...... You can "stock" it for a while!

……

Whether it is Xichuan or Jiaozhou, it is not the focus of Chu now, and the sea, which was once uncared about, is the source of Chu's "headache" at this time.

In August of the sixth year of the Chu calendar, not only the Marquis of Qi and the King of Wei were eyeing the ports of Qingzhou and Jizhou under the control of the Chu State, and even the Gongsun clan was a little uncontrollable!

Although the Gongsun clan did not dare to blatantly do anything against Andong Port (Andong Tianjin) and Liaodong Port (沓津), in Liaogang (Liaokou), they were already deliberately suppressing the entry and exit of Chu State ships......

Originally, according to the agreement between Chu and Gongsun, Andong Port was directly under the Chu State and the main place where the navy was stationed, Liaodong Port, which was the former Jinjin, the number of Chu troops was limited and subject to the supervision of Gongsun, and the landing army had clear boundaries, and Liaogang was built by Gongsun to assist the Chu State, and the Gongsun Army was garrisoned, but Chu ships could enter and exit.

However, now the state of Chu has not taken the initiative to cross the border, but the Gongsun clan has repeatedly tried to move the garrison to the south and compress the boundaries of Liaodong Port, and in Andong Port, not far from the port, there are thousands of cavalry stationed!

And when the Gongsun clan purchased plate armor, the minerals mortgaged to the Chu State also began to have violent conflicts in several places, and they were forcibly taken back by explicit or covert......

In the face of Chu Guo's questioning, Yan Hou still appeased and even confessed to cowardice, but his attack was still the same black!

Bai Tu could also guess that he was willing, it was nothing more than because the Chu State intervened in the seafood peninsula, assisted and even led the local people to resist the behavior of the Haikou Bandits, which made Gongsun Kang feel threatened, and after several stops, the Chu State did not stop, causing dissatisfaction.

After all, Gongsun Kang has always regarded fried seafood peninsula as his own back garden, although he didn't want to offend the Wei State, but he didn't want Bai Tu to meddle in his affairs - snatching some slaves, but it was far less serious than stealing his prestige.

However, Bai Tu dared to pat his chest and say that there was nothing wrong with Chu State's move, after all, it was Yanhou himself, the overlord of Liaodong who regarded himself as the "leader of the Great Alliance", and did not play a role in protecting these dependent forces.

Even the State of Chu invited Yan Hou and wanted to join hands with him to solve the problem of the troubled side of Haikou and Ma Kou on land, but Gongsun Kang himself did not participate!

The state of Chu assisted the Fuyu State and the Han people in fighting against the Haikou Invaders, and in principle it owed no one anything......

On the other hand, it is also because Wei and Qi Hou are eyeing the ports of Chu in Jizhou and Qingzhou at this time, which gives Gongsun Kang more confidence!
