Fuxi Town, after a busy day, Li Kang had the time to chat with the ministers.

In the newly built town hall of the town hall, Li Kang and the generals of the First Brigade, the civil officials of the Seven Towns, and the officers of the three newly recruited armies gathered together.

"Hahaha... In this great victory, the 8,000 natives brought by Dashan Rock were almost completely wiped out, and they themselves were all killed in this battle. In this way, the Golden Clan and the Dashan Clan have been defeated one after another, and in the Jinhe region, my Huaxia will no longer have to worry about trouble!" Li Kang laughed happily.

"Congratulations to the lord!" Seeing that Li Kang was so happy, everyone hurriedly congratulated in unison.

"Hahaha... Rejoice and rejoice!"

"If there is a great victory, there will be a great achievement! As a monarch, there should be clear rewards and punishments!" Li Kang put away his smile and said solemnly, "Zhang Jun,

In these two battles, the rewards for the merits of the low-level soldiers will be handed over to you, so don't make a mistake!"

"No!" Zhang Jun replied, getting up.

"Well, Deyuan (Zhang Junzi) is steady and upright, I can rest assured that I will do things!" Li Kang praised with a smile, and then said, "As for the merits of the generals and ministers present, I have seen it in my eyes, and the specific reward will be issued after the meeting, and the reward will never be less!"

"This is within my own responsibility, and I dare not say anything!"

"What should be yours is yours, no one can take it away, excessive modesty is not a good thing, this is to put me in a place where there is no way!"

"I'm guilty!"

"Okay!" Li Kang waved his hand funny, "Now that the war has just ended, everything is busy, you are all guilty, who will sort out the clues for me and solve the problem?"

"Hehe..."

"Let's talk about the next thing!" Li Kang coughed and said, "The Dashan Clan came to attack this time, gathering twenty-five surrounding tribes, large and small, but all of them were buried here this time, which will inevitably cause a vacuum of power in the original territory. In the face of this situation, how should we in China choose? Turn a blind eye, seize the rare period of security, work hard to develop ourselves, and then expand outward? Or take the opportunity to swallow this piece of land in one gulp?"

Of course, Li Kang only talked about the territory left by the Dashan clan, and did not mention the territory left by the Golden clan, because the latter did not need to mention it at all, and the target of annexation was determined as early as when the decision was made to conquer it.

And the fall of the Dashan clan was just an accident, if it weren't for Dashanyan's own death, in a short time, Li Kang would still be ready to be a "friendly neighbor".

But now that the accident has happened, it's time to determine what to do.

The reason why I didn't mean to do anything to the Oyama clan at the beginning was that I didn't want to take too big a step. Now that people have paved the road for you, if you don't take two steps, you will always feel that you have suffered a loss; if you really want to leave, the burden on your body will be too heavy, and if you don't do well, you will fall and fight.

It's a dilemma!

The reason why Li Kang still wants to ask is because he himself is not sure, ask everyone's views clearly, and then directly adopt the suggestions of the majority.

"Lord, eating food in the stomach does not mean that it is over, it depends on whether it can be digested, if it can, this food can be transformed into nutrients to nourish itself, if it can't be digested, this food is not only not beneficial, maybe it will make people diarrhea, and the gains outweigh the losses!" The first to speak was Tie Xuan, the mayor of Xiangao Town, who said a metaphor, the meaning is very simple, not to support the annexation of the territory left by the Dashan clan.

Li Kang was noncommittal when he heard this, but Zhao Guo frowned unnaturally, saying that among the people on the scene, only his interests were linked to this matter.

He is the supreme administrator of the Seven Towns Union, and if the territory of the Dashan clan is annexed, there is no accident, it will still be placed under his rule, and the power in his hands will be strengthened a lot.

Therefore, other people can uphold the true thoughts of their hearts, but he can't, there are interests involved, and it is too difficult to be absolutely neutral!

Now Tie Xuan directly stood up and voted against, Zhao Guo instinctively felt uncomfortable, but he knew that what Tie Xuan said made sense, and it was difficult to say anything.

The next discovery of everyone did not exceed Li Kang's expectations, nothing more than support and opposition, Li Kang listened quietly, and at the same time silently remembered the number of votes in his heart, and there was no one.

At this time, Zhao Guo finally couldn't help but speak.

But to Li Kang's surprise, Zhao Guo did not directly vote in favor, but put forward a new idea.

"Once the Dashan clan is destroyed, leaving a blank territory, if it is completely annexed and set up towns, it will inevitably waste money, food, materials and population, and seriously drag down the development process of other towns; Moreover, once the twenty-five tribes such as the Dashan clan go, if no one is stationed for a long time, my subordinates are afraid that other wandering tribes or nearby tribes that have found out the news will take advantage of the loophole, and when the time comes, don't be a Dashan clan again, it will not be good!"

"Then according to Chief Zhao's opinion, what should we do?" asked Chen Zizhuang, the mayor of Chunshen Town.

And Li Kang was also carefully thinking about what to do to get the best of both worlds, he already had a vague idea in his heart, but he just couldn't grasp it, he couldn't help but be a little irritable, and in desperation, he had to look at Zhao Guo and want to hear what he had to say.

Not only Li Kang was like this, but other people who didn't think of a way also looked at Zhao Guo with burning eyes, and some of the people who thought of a way were also curious about whether Zhao Guo's method was the same as their own.

"Mayor Chen (Zizhuang) is a person from the Ming Dynasty, and he should know that it is controlled by the guard, didn't Ming Taizu say: 'I raise millions of soldiers, and it doesn't cost the people a grain of rice'? Why not borrow it?" Zhao Guo said with a smile on his face.

"No!"

"Never!"

“......”

Several civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty objected at the same time.

For them, the harm of the Wei system can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to return, so they have to grit their teeth and insist, Huaxia is too late to hide, how can they lead the wolf into the house?

Some of the officers who had never heard of the guard's system asked each other about it, and when they figured out what the guard's house was, their expressions were different.

"The shortcomings of the guard, the historical lessons of the Ming Dynasty for 300 years, Chief Zhao will not be unaware! Now the lower officials want to ask, what is Chief Zhao's heart?" Chen Zizhuang shouted urgently.

"Subordinates, please treat Zhao Guo for the crime of misdeeds!" Chen Bangyan's reaction was even more intense, and he directly tore his face with Zhao Guo, regardless of his feelings at all.

Rao is Zhao Guo's mind couldn't help but be a little angry, he sneered: "It's pedantic! I think Da Ming didn't die in the guard, but in your gang of rotten Confucians, right?"

"You, you, you..." Several people trembled with popularity, Zhao Guo's words were too damaging, and they directly poked at their sore spots, because Li Kang showed more than once that Ming Shi died in a group of shameless literati represented by Donglin, which made these literati in the late Ming Dynasty ashamed, and now Zhao Guo nakedly classified them as "shameless literati", how not to make them angry.
