Fang Zhiwen really didn't like this kind of battle to climb the city, so he honestly stayed in the county seat of Zhuxian County, and spent all day doing nothing to accompany Taishi Zhaorong to practice martial arts, or accompany Xiangxiang to visit the player market, and occasionally go outside the city to walk horses, in fact, now the people in Zhuxian County have moved away, and the county town seems empty.

Fang Zhiwen sometimes thinks that the world will wait for the guilds, what method will be used to transport the population from the Central Plains and even Youzhou to Jingnan and even Jiaozhi, if you only rely on the natural growth of the local population of Jingnan and Jiaozhi, it is estimated that within a few decades, there will not even be a first-class city in these two regions, if the population is concentrated in a small number of cities, it will be the same as the situation that Fang Zhiwen is facing now, that is, the vast land will be abandoned, and finally cause wild monsters to run rampant.

If the world really has a way to transfer a large number of people to the Jingnan area, will there be many empty cities like the county towns in Qingzhou, Runan and Youzhou in the future?

Seeing the players in the city who are either hurrying or leisurely, if these players can have children, the population of Jingnan can grow quickly, hehe.

It's the middle of February, and the snow and ice are slowly melting. The weather is getting colder and colder, which makes Cai Mao, the parent of the Cai family who came all the way from Jingzhou, very uncomfortable.

There are a few pots of charcoal fire lit indoors, which makes the temperature of the room much higher than that outside, plus a cup of hot tea, the cold on the body is dispelled a lot, Cai Mao looks at Fang Zhiwen who is sitting opposite him from time to time, and his appearance is very ordinary. The temperament on the body is easy-going and kind, the skin is a little dark, and the eyes are very bright. There is always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Zhiwen was also looking at Cai Mao, Cai Mao looked upright and clean, and had the majesty of a beautiful man. It is by no means the feminine appearance of those neutral people in later generations, but the kind of masculine appearance, fair complexion, no beard, no wonder Cai Yan looks so beautiful, it turns out that it is thanks to excellent genetics!

General Cai traveled thousands of miles north to Qingzhou, and worked hard along the way.1 Fang Zhiwen casually opened his mouth to greet him, and there was a slight hint of his superiors to his subordinates in his tone. (the most stable,

Cai Mao also keenly discovered this, but in terms of position, Fang Zhiwen is indeed one level higher than Cai Mao. As for the title, it seems to be higher, in terms of actual strength and status, and even psychological self-positioning, Cai Mao is not a level of Fang Zhiwen at all.

So. Although he heard the condescending meaning in Fang Zhiwen's tone, Cai Mao didn't have any rebound, just smiled slightly stiffly, and thanked him: "Don't dare General Lao to ask, I am also a soldier below, and the distance is not enough to worry about 1."

Fang Zhiwen glanced at Cai Mao meaningfully. This guy is really not the material to be a leader, he has a strong soldier in his hand, and he has the support of the Jingzhou clan behind him, and he has the right people in his hands, but he has no ambition at all, just like a majestic lion's chest, but there is a sheep's heart beating.

Such Cai Mao, presumably in the eyes of others, is a big piece of fat!

No wonder in history, Liu Biao went down to Jingzhou alone, and quelled the clan rebellion, and when Cao Cao went south, Cai Mao chose to surrender again, this guy is too weak in his bones, is it because of the wealth that corrupted Gao Fei's ambition?

"In this case, then let's get down to business, presumably Zhongye has already reported the situation in Fengning to you, and you also know Miss Cai Yan's thoughts, then, General Cai is here, has he already made a decision?"

Cai Mao straightened up slightly, looked at Fang Zhiwen solemnly and replied: "My sister's decision is not surprising, speaking of which, it is also my brother who did not do well to make this choice...... Fang Zhiwen interrupted Cai Mao's words very impolitely, and interjected: "I don't think there is anything wrong with Cai Yan's choice, if Cai Yan's girl is not a girl, but a man, I'm afraid General Cai will drive him out of the house to travel, now the times are different, General Cai doesn't see the streets full of female generals of different people, and aboriginal women are no longer rare, at least the two wives of this official are both serving in the army and the government, which is not bad." ”

Cai Mao smiled awkwardly, what he said just now was indeed a little inappropriate, but he forgot that the sassy female general in front of him was Fang Zhiwen's second wife, in front of this second lady, he accused his sister of leaving home and rebelling, which seemed to be a little boring!

"What the adult said is that he will respect and understand the choice of the sister, but he can't help but recognize the identity of the sister, and he can't be wrong again and again, so in order to be able to make this matter public for a suitable reason, he came to visit the adult in the next place, hoping to get the adult's understanding and help."

Fang Zhiwen was very satisfied with Cai Mao's deferential attitude, and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, this official remembers that after Ling Mei was rumored to have been captured by the Yellow Turban Thief, you have always denied it, but you didn't explain Ling Mei's whereabouts, is this matter right?" ”

"Your Excellency is exactly what you say1

"That's easy to do, after you go back, you will publicly declare that the daughter-in-law of the Cai family has gone north to study in Xilin School Palace as early as the beginning of last year, because this matter is a private decision of your brother and sister, so he has not dared to show it, this official will take care of Xilin School Palace, and make up for Ling Mei's school registration procedures."

"Huh? School Palace...... That's right! Hehe, you don't have to worry, Xilin School Palace does not reject female students, and there are many female students studying now, Xilin School Palace is one of the few school palaces in the Han Dynasty, it shouldn't insult Ling Mei, right? ”

Fang Zhiwen's voice was a little calm, which made Cai Mao's heart sink, whether Fang Zhiwen's method was good or bad, now Cai Mao had no bargaining at all, because the initiative in this matter was all in the hands of Cai Yan and Fang Zhiwen.

Cai Mao even had some reverie, Fang Zhiwen was planning for his sister so much, did he have any thoughts about his sister, Cai Mao was quite confident in his sister's appearance.

Thinking of this, Cai Mao felt that the deep thinking on Fang Zhiwen's face was very meaningful, and hurriedly replied: "The adults are thoughtful and meticulous, and there is no objection below, but there is no problem for the sister to study abroad now, but in the future, it will ...... Future? In the future, maybe Sister Ling found her crush in Miyun and married Miyun, isn't it a logical thing 1

Fang Zhiwen's words made Cai Mao's thoughts deviate even more, and sure enough, he really fell in love with his sister, if he married Miyun forces

Cai Mao began to quickly think about the pros and cons of strengthening cooperation with the forces of the Miyun family and even forming an alliance in his brain, and all kinds of thoughts poured out.

In fact, the current status of Jingzhou clan is quite embarrassing, and the importance of Jingxiang has become more and more obvious with the development of water transportation on the Yangtze River and the large-scale development of Jingxiang's cultivated land. In order to ensure that their interests do not suffer major losses, the Jingxiang clan once tried every means to invade the power circle of the capital, but in addition to being blackmailed by the eunuchs, it was suppressed by the clan, and it was impossible to realize the desire to protect itself.

In history, the later rebellion of the Jingxiang clan was actually the rebellion of the Jingxiang clan against the Central Plains clan, but it was later divided and disintegrated, and finally failed.

In the game, because Liu Bei intervened in the Jingxiang clan circle in advance, and Liu Bei was precisely under the banner of confrontation with the Central Plains clan, so the Jingxiang clan once wanted to pull Liu Bei into the gang, but later it was stirred up by a rumor, and now Liu Bei and the status of the Jingxiang clan are not embarrassed or embarrassed, and Cai Mao is also having a headache about this matter.

And now Fang Zhiwen suddenly threw a big olive branch with the help of Cai Yan's matter, Cai Mao's mind couldn't help but come alive immediately, if Fang Zhiwen's forces were introduced into Jingzhou, the Jingzhou clan would have a strong military force behind them, and there would be no need to be afraid of the threat of Liu Bei's strong generals, and even be able to confront Liu Bei to some extent, if you count the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in the southeast mountainous area of Jingzhou, then Jingzhou can also form a situation of tripartite forces.

This matter, it seems that you can really think about it, Cai Mao suddenly regretted it, she knew that she had brought the brothers of the Kuai family with her, but now she doesn't even have anyone to discuss, but it's not good for her to express her position immediately!

However, Cai Mao seems to have no room to refuse at all, because if Fang Zhiwen really takes a fancy to Cai Yan, as long as he directly discloses his marriage with Cai Yan, he can kidnap the Cai family and the Jingxiang clan into his chariot, after all, the Jingxiang clan does not have strong military strength and strong ambition to stand on their own, so when their heads are labeled as Zhiwen's allies, it is not easy to take them down again.

On the contrary, once Fang Zhiwen kidnapped them, they must also honestly ask Fang Zhiwen for help, so that they can block the angry Liu Bei, or the angry Central Plains clan counterattack.

It's just that Fang Zhiwen really didn't directly use Cai Yan to carry out this kind of political blackmail, no matter what, Fang Zhiwen still wouldn't do this kind of thing that abandons all morality and sentiment for the sake of interests, and it's not necessary, there are many ways to achieve the same goal.

"This matter is very important, although I am not talented, but I also know that this matter will involve the interests of the Cai family and even the entire Jingxiang clan, can you allow me to consider it."

Fang Zhiwen grinned: "Why not, General Cai, although you think about it slowly, it is best to communicate with the old relatives and friends at home, but this matter is a big matter and cannot be ignored, of course, if there is no objection in principle, we still have more details to communicate, so General Cai had better not rush back." ”

"I understand in the next place, and I will give the adults a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."

Fang Zhiwen nodded, raised his hand to signal that Cai Mao could leave, and seeing Cai Mao's salute and leave, Fang Zhiwen turned his head to the female guard on the side and said, "You send General Cai for me." ”

It wasn't until Cai Mao's footsteps completely disappeared that Fang Zhiwen shook his head and said, "Zhao Rong, this is a man who has been crushed by responsibility, tsk1rq."
