More than 100 people walked in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, and when they saw the emptiness of the main seat, they couldn't help but be stunned, shouldn't the Taishou have been waiting for a long time at this time?

Incomprehensible and puzzled eyes looked at each other and exchanged silently. Then they sat cross-legged according to the strength and fame of each family.

As soon as he sat down, he heard footsteps, and Jia Nian walked over with Liu Ye, Lu Su and Guo Dapang, and everyone's expressions changed instantly.

When did Liu Junshi come back? Why didn't you hear the slightest bit of wind? And didn't Guo Dapang go to sea secretly? Why are you still in Jianye.

Countless thoughts weave through my mind, creating a fear of the unknown, beyond my knowledge and control. The situation in Jiangbei was complicated, Liu Junshi was not guarding outside but was secretly recalled, and when he thought of Guo Dapang going to sea, a tricky feeling appeared almost instantly.

Is it a trivial matter to mobilize the people like this? If it was just to capture the private soldiers, there would be no need for Liu Junshi and Guo Dapang to return secretly. One possibility emerged, could it be that the soldiers of Shanyue did not go far to the sea, but surrounded the three counties of Danyang, Wu and Huiji from the sea.

But there is no need to recruit Liu Junshi stationed in Changhe Town back, after all, it is enough for Guo Dapang to return as a deterrent.

"You have been summoned today for one thing"

Jia Nian sat on the main seat, looked at the people in charge of the more than 100 wealthy families on the left and right, and said slowly to them.

Everyone's hearts hung in the air, and they all looked at Jia Nian one by one, knowing that it was time to make a decision at this time. If it were to cut the private soldiers, they would definitely not agree, and they were secretly ready to resist.

"Master Guo, bring me what you brought from overseas"

"No"

Guo Dapang said with a majestic face.

Facts have proved that at the critical moment, Guo Dapang is still relatively reliable.

"Present"

"No"

A loud roar rang out from outside the lobby, and several soldiers approached carrying a huge scroll. The four of them worked together to open it directly in front of Jia Nian, and the map made of silk books appeared in front of them.

The crowd did not immediately look at the terrain drawn on it, but carefully looked at this silk book about 100 meters long, no wonder it looked like a scroll, it turned out to be so extravagant. Is it just that a map needs to be drawn so big? What's the point?

Looking around at it, everyone was stunned, and saw that a small area on the right side of the map was the Central Plains and the surrounding alien situation, and then it was white, so they frowned. What is that huge empty space left for? Is there an infinite land of abundance?

"A month ago, Guo Junshi Feng went to sea and accidentally found a place, which was nameless, so Ben Taishou named it Yizhou. The territory of the state is about two counties, and one country is called the Ryukyu Kingdom. The people within it are gathered together in a tribal situation, and the preliminary estimate of the population should be in the millions."

"The exact details have not yet been clarified"

Jia Nian said to everyone.

Everyone was suspicious, and they looked puzzled.

Guo Dapang took the words and said to everyone.

After discovering Yizhou, the division led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to investigate in detail, although the time was still short, but also learned a lot of useful news. The land in the state is fertile, and there are many indigenous people, and if you can take it, it will be a great way to expand the territory."

"Therefore, the Shangyu Taishou opened up Yizhou"

After speaking, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar, open up Yizhou? What's going on now? The world is changing, and Taishou actually wants to open up Yizhou. Once the main force leaves, Yuan Yuzhou will definitely attack, and what will happen at that time.

Lu En and the others couldn't help but be anxious.

"Thinking too much, now is not a good opportunity to open up Yizhou"

"What's the use of Yizhou in the wilderness? There are still large tracts of land in Jiangnan that have not been reclaimed, and it is unwise to allocate troops and people."

"Pioneering Yizhou is time-consuming, laborious and thankless"

Gu Kun, Qian Shu and others persuaded each other bitterly.

Wu Kai and the others showed a look of surprise, Jia Nian actually wanted to open up overseas at this juncture? Isn't it to abandon the basics? Looking at this person's rise all the way, he can be regarded as a hero-like figure, but now it seems that he is nothing more than that, and he is a self-defeating person.

"Why so arbitrary?"

"There are gold mines overseas, do you still think that this move is a waste of money and labor?"

Liu Ye, who was standing on the side, said to everyone.

This remark left everyone dumbfounded, and they all thought they had heard it wrong.

Gold mine? Is there a gold mine overseas?

Then they gasped and looked at each other, speculating on the truth of this sentence.

"It's not just gold mines, it's rich land, innumerable indigenous people, and fruit and food"

"Do you still think that this is a waste of money and a waste of money?"

Liu Ye raised his voice to everyone, and his tone was a little stern.

As long as there are enough gold mines, gold coins can be issued, and then a steady stream of materials can be obtained with gold coins. While there is no benefit to the indigenous population, the fruit, or the food, the gold mine alone is enough to drive people crazy. Of course, this is just a carrot hanging in front of the donkey, because the real location of the gold mine is not here.

"Guo Junshi has discovered a gold mine?"

"Yizhou didn't, but I heard the news of the gold mine, in a place called Jinwu Country. It's just that this country is very strong, and it is not yet known how strong it is, and it is speculated that it should not exceed the six counties of Yangzhou at most."

Guo Dapang explained to everyone.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Kai's mouth, how do these words sound and feel like they are fooling people. If this is true, then why didn't he Guo Dapang directly wave his army to attack the Jinwu Kingdom? Why not occupy the Ryukyu Kingdom? Since the strength does not exceed Yangzhou, then these 10,000 soldiers and horses must have the power to fight. Is it too false to give up such huge benefits like this?

Then there is only one possibility, either Guo Dapang and Liu Ye's words are fake, or their strength is even stronger than described. Is Jia Nian's division of troops a good thing or a bad thing for him? The answer is obvious, and of course it's a great thing. Just wait for his army to go to sea, won't it become meat on the board. As long as Yuan Yuzhou moves south, the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River will change hands overnight.

But then I thought of a possibility, and I couldn't help but be vigilant.

Is Jia Nian an unwise person? Is he a mediocre talent? The answer is undoubtedly no. So why did you convene the Jiangnan family with a tough attitude and throw Yizhou out.

Did he want to? ……

looked at Zhu Jun and Zhang Da on the side, and the three of them almost thought of a piece. I thought this was a matter that didn't concern me, but then Taishou would inevitably use this as an excuse to seize the private soldiers, so he could only jump out with a roar.

"The remoteness of overseas is not good for the current situation"

"Please think twice"

"Please think twice"

Looking at Zhu Jun, Zhang Da and Wu Kai who jumped out, a group of wealthy families shouted in unison.

The sudden change made Lu En and the others, who were about to persuade each other, slightly stunned, obviously a little confused by them. What the hell are these three foxes doing? Isn't it beneficial for them to open up the emptiness of the main force overseas?

No, there's a problem here.

If Taishou sends out a large number of troops, he will not need to consult with us at all, unless he wants to mobilize soldiers and horses that do not belong to him, as well as food and grass.
