Huang Yueying originally thought that this condition was not unacceptable to the General's Mansion, so she felt that her father's judgment was too harsh.

However, now it seems that she obviously thought too little, and Bai Tu refused without thinking about it......

But at least this shows that Bai Tu is indeed trustworthy, and he does not use false promises to empty the white wolf.

It's just that after Bai Tu listened to Huang Yueying's words, he was a little unhappy, after all, Liu Biao was still alive, and even Bai Tu knew that in history, Liu Biao was completely bedridden after seven years, and died of illness eight years later.

Now her cousin Liu Cong has only been born for a few years, not to mention the Nanjun family, can Liu Biao be abolished for seven years...... Bai Tu may have already entered Xiangyang.

"My father said, looking at the complexion of the old white face, I am afraid that the root of the disease has been planted, if the lord is willing to wait, Nanjun will return in three or five years." Huang Yueying, because of her aunt's relationship, this Liu Biao can be said to be full of disgust.

"If the Nanjun family is willing to submit to obedience, there is no need to wait for Liu Biao to pass away." Bai Tu refused in disguise.

First, Bai Tu knew that Liu Biao was likely to have seven or eight years to live; Secondly...... Now Huang Chengyan can't promise Bai Tu anything at all, how can he slow down the offensive now?

And judging from Huang Chengyan's meaning relayed by Huang Yueying, Huang Chengyan should not be sure that he would persuade the alliance of the Nanjun family, in comparison...... It seems that only a few families within the Cai family can be influenced.

Therefore, after Liu Biao passed away, he first used the strength of all the Nanjun families to seize the inheritance of Jingzhou Mansion, and then relied on the identity of Cai's mother to forcibly promote the surrender to the General's Mansion.

Otherwise, as Bai Tu said, if all the surnames in Nanjun can speak and move, why wait for Liu Biao to pass away, and directly tie up the old white face to the general's mansion?

Huang Yueying also has no talent for negotiation, or she doesn't have the heart to negotiate with Bai Tu, so she said directly: "My father can't convince the Nanjun Shi clan, he can only persuade my aunt ......"

At this moment, a somewhat elegant middle-aged male voice came into the middle hall: "You girl! How can there be such a bargain? ”

"Who!" When Lu Lingqi heard the sound, she was armored on the spot, and the halberd was in front of Bai Tu.

Although this small county town is simple, it is ...... There are also guards outside, how can it be easy to be approached without informing them?

How did the other party get close, Lu Lingqi didn't want to know, but since he was sneaking closer, it was an assassin!

I saw that the other party didn't show off, and immediately appeared, and he entered through the middle door in a dignified manner, and it was not until this time that the guards outside seemed to react.

The person who came looked at the appearance, but he was a little thin, his hair was yellow, but he was very energetic, his eyes looked very light at first glance, but there was a faint stubbornness buried in the depths, at this time he was wearing a half-Confucian robe, and there was a dead wood staff in his hand, which didn't look like any force skills, but no one had found him before!

"Daddy! Can't you get out well? Huang Yueying said helplessly.

Sure enough, it was Huang Chengyan who came.

"Walker Huang Jun, I've seen Bai Gong." Huang Chengyan ignored Lu Lingqi who was on the halberd in front of him, and the guards behind him who were tense and saluted.

Walker, at this time Buddhism was not popular in the Central Plains, Huang Chengyan's "Walker" is obviously not the meaning of Buddhist ascetics, but the original intention of walking, traveling.

"Okay, don't be nervous." Bai Tu persuaded the guards to retreat, and then pulled Lu Lingqi.

Huang Yueying rolled her eyes on the side, while Huang Chengyan had a secondary two expression of "go wherever you want".

"It turned out to be Mr. Huang, who has admired his name for a long time." Bai Tu said politely.

Seeing that this Huang Chengyan doesn't look like he's good at force, he just approached quietly, it should be some kind of special "trick".

Bai Tu has also discovered that some tricks can be very peculiar, especially those that do not awaken in the official position.

For example, Bai Tu also awakened a trick before, the source of the rainbow, and when he inspired and motivated his subordinates, the effect increased.

"Inspiring" and "motivating" itself are behaviors that will improve work efficiency, and enhance loyalty and belonging, and the "rainbow source" of Baitu is to make it easier for them to penetrate into the hearts of the people when they are inspired and motivated.

"The mountain village man, the name is not enough to worry about." Huang Chengyan's expression was a little arrogant, but he was still modest in his words.

"I heard that Mr. Huang is willing to help the General's Mansion, and I thank Mr. Huang for his kindness in advance." Bai Tu looked emotional.

Although it has not been negotiated at all, Bai Tu still brought his gratitude first-after all, according to what Huang Yueying just said, at least Huang Chengyan belongs to the General's Mansion.

"The general's mansion is thick and thin, and the jade is in the wilderness, and others only see a little cold light exposed, so they think that so-and-so can also be compared, only know that there are strong soldiers and healthy people in the north, virtuous and famous people, and fertile cities, so they lightly say that they will win, and it is unbearable." Huang Chengyan shook his head when he heard this.

Bai Tu didn't expect that Lao Huang Kua was so direct......

Huang Chengyan saw Bai Tu's expression, and said with some dissatisfaction: "In the past three months, the old man has traveled to ninety-seven of the one hundred and four counties in Jiangdong and Huainan. It seems that he is not very happy, Bai Tu when he is casually boasting.

In the romance, the six counties of Jiangdong are known as eighty-one counties, but in fact, according to the registration of the Chengji Office, Yangzhou is not counted as Jiujiang County and Luling County, there are a total of sixty-four counties, all of which are ninety-two counties, and there are twelve counties in Guangling County.

At present, the General's Mansion actually controls a small number of counties in the three counties of Runan, Jiangxia, and Guilin, totaling more than 120 counties.

Hearing that Huang Chengyan actually traveled all over the ninety-seven counties in three months, Bai Tu couldn't help but be surprised......

On average, he can go to a county seat a day, if Huang Chengyan doesn't brag, this foot strength ...... It is several times stronger than Yu Turn.

With the roads and means of transportation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, let alone in Yangzhou, which is mountainous and forested in the south, even in the Central Plains of Yan, Henan, and Xu, which are smaller in area and have smoother roads, it is impossible for ordinary generals to travel alone so fast!

It is precisely because Huang Chengyan has seen everywhere that he has come to this conclusion.

Although it is undeniable that the development of the General's Mansion is still only in Shouchun and Jinling, the two central cities in Huainan and Jiangdong respectively, the rapid progress, and other counties, especially in the remote areas in the south and the newly included jurisdictional areas, are not without the phenomenon of people floating and taking the opportunity to cause chaos, but the school of the Ministry of Rites, the quarterly attendance of the Ministry of Officials and the criminal hall of the Criminal Department are all forcibly increased, and the changes are still occurring little by little.

In particular, the emergence of the workshop group and the establishment of the new household registration system attracted more and more people to concentrate in Jinling and Shouchun.

In addition, there are several ports and salt farms along the coast, which seem to be the next initiative to promote, and many second-tier workshop groups have begun to appear in such places.

It is equivalent to directly avoiding some deep-rooted obstacles and pulling the "nutrients" directly from the roots!

If you look at the head area, the current Jinling, although the population is not as good as Luoyang, which was at the peak of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has a population of one million, but looking at the current trend, it will be able to catch up in the next few years.

In addition, the commercial activities of Fang City have surpassed the original Luoyang, with smooth and wide roads, complex drainage systems, "88 carriages" and "44 carriages" passing by on the road from time to time, and the spiritual outlook and clothing image of the people, all of which declare its strength.

Now the public carriages in Jinling have also been improved, the small carriage has four people, and there are four seats on the second floor of the carriage, with two horses, that is, four or four carriages, and the seats of the eighty-eight carriages have been doubled with three horses.

This kind of thing...... In Xudu and Yecheng, I am afraid that there is no practicality.

After all, the dignitaries themselves have carriages, and the common people ...... What are you doing in a carriage?

In recent years, with special tactics, Huang Chengyan, who has been haunted and has footprints all over the Han Dynasty, should be the most qualified person to evaluate the style of each city...... Far from it.

As for Luoyang and Chang'an...... It is already in the past tense, especially the former, and now it is like a ruin, not even as good as an ordinary county town, which is indeed heart-wrenching.

Living in the city in small chaos and living in the countryside in chaos is the simple philosophy of the people, and it also reflects the real thoughts of the people - when the people in various places are still in the "big chaos", the confidence of the people in Yangzhou in the general's mansion even makes them think that it is only a "small chaos" in the world.

Coupled with the attraction effect of the workshop group on the population, Jinling and Shouchun ...... As well as several important port counties along the coast, the population began to increase significantly.

Look at the pigs and cattle that produce salt and steel every day, and breed pigs and cattle on a large scale, sprinkled in the field with magical substances that are better than "dung", and cooperate with various water conservancy projects to increase the efficiency of farming several times - in addition to Yu Ji sitting in "Gongkou City", Huang Chengyan almost lost his feet, and many "secrets", Huang Chengyan also secretly looked at them!

Of course, Huang Chengyan did not mean to leak the secrets of the General's Mansion, and even he did not look closely at the principle at all.

Huang Chengyan just wanted to see the appearance of the General's Mansion, but he didn't care about the specific principle, which was due to his personality and the restriction of the "Walker's" strategy.

It is "what I saw with my own eyes" that makes Huang Chengyan more optimistic about the General's Mansion than Bai Tu......

It is precisely because of this that Huang Chengyan is very dissatisfied with the Nanjun family, including the Huang family where he was born, and the Cai family where his wife is located.

The Nanjun family chose to support Liu Biao, so as to reap the interests of Jiangxia, Nanyang, and the four counties of Jingnan, which can be said to be a big victory in the first game of the troubled times.

Although when supporting Liu Biao, he offered Cai Shuang, which made Huang Chengyan dissatisfied, but it cannot be said that they were unwise......

However, now Huang Chengyan can point to their noses and say - you are dizzy!

Liu Biao gradually gained real power, not to mention the real anti-guest-oriented meaning, and the Nanjun Family Alliance recognized the truth of "success in the north", even if they wanted to sell Jingzhou, they would only consider Cao Cao or Yuan Shao...... It depends on the outcome of the Battle of the Central Plains.

The most direct manifestation is that the current Jingzhou Mansion has moved to Xiangyang, and the former first city in the south, Jiangling, has been gradually coldly treated.

In addition to more efficient control of Nanyang and guarding against the north, it is also shifting Jingzhou's center of gravity to the north......
