Farming requires the ability to endure loneliness and blandness, and it also requires the team to work together and be unwavering, which is also difficult for other arbiter teams to do.

Their organizational structure is too large, which is both their advantage and a flaw that cannot be ignored, because everyone in the team needs to have their own space for development, so many interests are considered, as the leader of the team, the consideration will not be too simple.

For more than ten years, these people have advanced and retreated, and they have each found a way suitable for their own development - such as Xiaoyao Zhenren, who did not hold his territory after all under strong external pressure, and was forced to turn into a sectarian underground organization, and now he makes a living by completing all kinds of dirty work and collecting intelligence; Yan Fuzi's situation was slightly better, his Confucian orthodoxy was vigorously wooed by Kangxi, although his attitude was more ambiguous, but he was still born with his own territory next to Qufu as a status inferior to Confucius, but his power was also restrained in this place; The compassionate person is different, the Christian culture he promoted was partially recognized by the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan, and he became one of the many national teachers of the Great Yuan, and his territory was also equivalent to one of the vassal khanates of the Great Yuan; Finally, there is the red flower, she is still struggling for ten years, and there is no fundamental change from the situation ten years ago.

However, no matter which one it is, the fact that they paid a huge price to get the blessing of luck from Zhao Gao is one of the important reasons why they can integrate into this plot world so quickly, and it is also one of the important ways for the old clan to be known in this world.

Over the years, there has gradually been a legend on the rivers and lakes - according to legend, in the far north, through hundreds of miles of yellow sand and uninhabited no man's land, and then north through hundreds of miles of the Gobi Desert, there is a mysterious territory that is not affected by the war. There, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and you only need to graze and cultivate every day, and you can live happily and carefree.

This is called the last place of hope for people who have suffered from war and hatred of displacement, and it is the last choice of desperate people in order to have a chance to live.

Not one of them!

"Isn't this legend a bit exaggerated?" Mai Linglong held the information in her hand and said to Zhao Gao with a wry smile, the latter was still lying on the stone platform of the arrow tower that had just been completed at the forefront, and half of the withered yellow grass root was bored in her mouth.

This is one of the outputs of the improved land within the scope of the Arrow Tower. In the past ten years, the craftsmen unique to the builders have built nearly 10,000 arrow towers here, and also opened up a large living area. Under each arrow tower, there will be some simple houses built by the vassals themselves, and gradually form a small building complex.

For more than ten years, there were more than 10,000 small vassal tribes on the periphery of the old clan, and each tribe had people from the original old clan as the head, and then reorganized and organized to form a relatively strict social structure.

Mak Linglong is the de facto organizer of the operation of this structure. The huge daily workload is difficult to complete even if she summons her own Chosen Warriors and some attached title pioneers to help deal with it, not to mention that she is also responsible for the situation collection work of the Central Plains, except for the three-person meeting every ten days and the old clan core team gathering every thirty days, the rest of the time she has time to come to Zhao Gao is only a handful of times.

"Did you gather any information from the real people? What did she ask for this time? Population or goods? Zhao Gao asked casually. He gave all this work to Mai Linglong, and the design of each position of the outer arrow tower and the reasonable cooperation between them exhausted his mental energy, and the greater the scope of the outer circle, the greater the difficulty. Suffice it to say, every arrow tower here was done according to his requirements and under his supervision, and all the steps were not sloppy.

In a world surrounded by powerful plot forces, the ability to protect himself is the foundation of all other activities, and this work can only be done by himself.

"Population." Mai Linglong quickly answered Zhao Gao's question. It is not difficult for the development of peripheral members without the territorial foundation, but there is a lack of input sources in the core part, and now they are all supplemented by the old clan - she is not afraid that Zhao Gao will mix sand in this, on the one hand, the interests of the old clan and her have no conflict for the time being, on the other hand, these people are also at the bottom and have no access to key information.

Zhao Gao just asked casually, and he was also relieved that Mai Linglong, a particularly meticulous person, was in charge of these matters, but if Mai Linglong came over today, it would definitely not be such a simple matter.

Mai Linglong shook her head, part of the outside world's speculation about the power of the old clan was the result of Zhao Gao's deliberate creation, as for the legend of the dream land and the place of hope, it is a beautification that naturally arises in the process of circulation, and people often automatically attach all the good factors they hope for while circulating.

But then again, those who can experience the hardships of life and death and trek here will not be disappointed too much - although there is no ideal fertile land, they can only be divided into some thin fields, and the abundance of water and grass is even more nonsense, but they who have experienced war and life and death are difficult to calculate, and they do not have too high requirements, and being able to live in peace and stability is already everything they want.

Mai Linglong didn't dwell too much on this detail, she paused, and said seriously: "According to the information transmitted by Xiaoyao Zhenren, Emperor Kangxi actually focused on Geerdan in the grassland, rather than Beiyang, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zheng Jing and even the Three Feudatories. This time, heavy troops were mobilized, and many famous generals such as Dolgon, Nian Qianyao, and Zuo Zongtang were gathered under his command to prepare for a decisive battle with Geerdan. ”

This news is not trivial, the three empires will not fight each other easily, although small friction is inevitable, but the battle of national fortunes is waiting for the opportunity. At this time, Kangxi took the lead in attacking the inferior force Geldan Khanate, and the meaning of it is worth speculating.

"The Beiyang region is narrow and the national fortune is small, and the six towns under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shikai are just suffering from scabies and have already declared themselves to Kangxi, so naturally there is no need to worry; The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself was in a mess, and Zeng Guofan, who had a half-saint realm, commanded the Green Camp Hunan Army, which was enough to deal with it; Zheng Jing was on an isolated island, and with Shi Lang's navy maintaining continuous suppression, it would not be long before he could hold on; As for the forces of the three feudatories, they were both traitors of the Qing Dynasty and traitors of the Ming Dynasty, and the coexistence of suppression and appeasement may be the main means. Zhao Gao stood up while muttering to himself, slowly pacing back and forth on the arrow platform that was only a few meters in radius. The layout and strategy of these legendary historical figures is difficult to predict, and it is only possible to wait for the opponent's actions before extrapolating the results.

Geldan is different from these forces.

Geldan was a descendant of the Khiros clan, a mainstream branch of the Tyirati tribe, and Genghis Khan once married a daughter to the clan, and the Khiros clan became a hereditary nobleman of the Yuan Dynasty.

During the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Ross ?? Ulinda began to be the Taishi of the Northern Yuan Dynasty for generations, gradually grasped the power of the imperial court, presided over the abolition of the emperor many times, and finally won the Ross?? also directly killed the Khan to get off Buhua first, and inherited the Khan throne himself, and the Warat became the mainstream of Mongolia, which can be regarded as completely offending the golden bloodline.

It was also this Great Khan who captured Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong in the Battle of Tumubao, killed nearly two-thirds of the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and offended the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom.

Arrived at Syros?? In the hands of Geldan, the Dzungar tribe successively defeated the Heshute tribe, conquered the Kazakhs, and destroyed the Yarkand Khanate, with a vast territory and a strength second to none in the steppe. Geldan himself is eloquent, knowledgeable and proficient in Tibetan Buddhism, and also has a good influence among lamas, so he can be regarded as the best of Kangxi's lifelong rivals, and it is natural to start from him.

What's more, Geldan has the strength to threaten the three empires.

"This is really a master that anyone dares to take a bite of." Zhao Gao looked at the information that Mai Linglong had carefully sorted out after collecting intelligence, and couldn't help but sigh. The three empires are preparing to use the battlefield of Dzungaria to show off their own muscles, and by the way, weigh the weight of their opponents.

"Kangxi and Geerdan's envoys have arrived, how can we deal with it?" After Zhao Gao finished thinking, Mai Linglong said the reason for coming. Nominally, Lao Ba has been presiding over the daily work of the old clan, but only Zhao Gao can give an answer to this kind of decision.

"Let's go, let's see." Zhao Gao thought for a moment, ordered all the craftsmen to stop work for the first time, and then walked off the arrow platform.

PS: I'm diligent again.
