"The matter is big, and it is not small that can be said in vain. Zhou Kang shook his head.

Zhou Yang knew that Zhou Kang was also known for his cautious thinking and clever thinking in the Zhou family, and he also wanted to hear his opinion, "It's okay, you can talk about it." ”

"Let's talk about the little one. Zhou Kang groaned for a moment, clamped the horse's belly, and followed the footsteps of the horse under the crotch last week, "The little one thinks that this needs to be determined by whether the fetus in the second lady's womb is male or female." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yang was surprised, "why do you say that?"

"If the second lady gives birth to a boy, there is still no heir to the county prince, this son is the eldest son, with the current situation of the county prince, it is a matter of time before the king is crowned, if it is a man, at least he can inherit the county prince, if he can get the grace in the future, he can also be promoted to the county king. ”

Zhou Kang's words were obviously carefully considered, and he did not mention Jiang Feng's disobedience to the throne and the throne, only saying that Jiang Feng would be crowned a prince in the future, so as a concubine, he could also be crowned a county prince, and he could be promoted to the county king if he was entitled, which is also a reasonable speculation.

"Well, if it's a daughter, then it's ......" Zhou Yang also shook his head along the topic, if it is a daughter, naturally there is no need to say much, it will not be of much help to the Zhou family, at least it will be difficult to help a lot in the future.

"The second lady is not very old, and I heard what Qing Ying said, she is deeply loved by the county prince, even if this baby is a daughter, as long as she can be favored in the future, she may not be able to give birth to a boy. Zhou Kang added: "With the current situation, if it wasn't a few years ago, the situation of conquest and annexation by all parties was flourishing, and small states like Shuzhou were afraid that it would be difficult to survive in this troubled era." ”

"In your opinion?" Zhou Yang frowned.

"The small one is also a guess, as long as the second lady can continue to be favored by the county prince and give birth to a boy, the prospects of the Shuzhou Zhou family will not be limited to a corner of Shuzhou, with a small view, you might as well ,......boldly announce it to the county at this time."

Zhou Kang didn't go on in the depths, but Zhou Yang understood that Zhou Kang thought that the Zhou family should boldly bet on Huaiyou (Wuning) and support Jiang Feng, on the one hand, he could win the favor of Jiang Feng and his subordinates, and on the other hand, if Zhou Rui gave birth to a boy, he would be able to take care of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family would definitely be able to occupy a place in Huaiyou (Wuning) in the future.

It has to be said that this proposal is quite feasible.

With the current changes in the situation of the world, Zhou Yang also believes that the coexistence of large and small feudal lords like ten years ago is no longer maintainable.

This situation should start from Nanyang and Caizhou joining forces to carve up Shenguang Erzhou, and wiped out Shenzhou Ju and Gwangju Xu in one fell swoop, and since then the pattern of competing for hegemony has been opened.

And then the addition of the ant thief made the situation even more chaotic, Jiang Feng's birth pushed this situation to the top, annexed Guang (Hu) Shou Erzhou in one go, and joined forces with Li Yu to carve up the land of Wu, and now he has eaten the territory of Huaibei and Taining Army, and swept the world with a sweeping trend.

Judging from this situation, it is a high probability event for Huaiyou to gain a firm foothold in the entire eastern part of Middle Earth, with Yanyun Yi Xu Sihai plus Huainan's Guanghun Shou Luhao and Chu Zhuzhou, salt and iron horses in the north, grain, tea and silk in the south, and the benefits of waterways.

"Judging from the current situation, Huaiyoushan is indeed good,......" Zhou Yang hesitated.

"Not only the current situation, but also a group of capable people under the command of the county prince, which can be seen from its strong foundation, the north has been in drought for many years, and has been trapped by ant thieves and war, has been dilapidated, and it is difficult to recover in the short term, so the county prince will develop Huainan, as long as there is Huainan Prefecture grain as the foundation, Huaibei and Yanyun Yi Prefectures can be guaranteed, and then affect the entire Central Plains and the north, this hand is beyond the reach of other lords. ”

Zhou Kang knew what Zhou Yang was worried about, so he immediately expressed his opinion.

"But I still feel that Huaiyou's pace is too fast, and the chaos in Yanyunyi Sanzhou can't be solved in a year or two, which will greatly drag down Huaiyou's ,......" Zhou Yang shook his head.

In fact, at this point, Zhou Kang also agrees with Zhou Yang's view.

Taking Xu Sihai Sanzhou is Jiang Feng's winner or loser, and Jiang Feng has also done it, so that his power can cross Huaishui at once, but Yanyun Yi Sanzhou is a little redundant in Zhou Kang's opinion.

At first glance, it seems that the territory has expanded a lot, but for a long time, the three states of Yanyun and Yi will only drag down Huaiyou, and cannot provide substantial support to Huaiyou, otherwise Zhu Mao will not take the initiative to withdraw, but Zhou Kang believes that Jiang Feng, who can see it, must also know that Jiang Feng naturally has a reason for doing so.

"The county prince also has his own plans to do this, the situation in Yanyunyi is in chaos, if the county prince does not intervene at that time, I am afraid that the southward movement of the displaced people will also impact the situation in Xu Si and Erzhou, especially when there are other forces around. Zhou Kang felt that this reason was a little far-fetched, but it could only be explained in this way.

Zhou Yang didn't say anything more, just silently.

"Lang Jun, after arriving in Pengcheng, Lang Jun might as well also look for an opportunity to talk to the important ministers under the county prince to understand the specific situation, Xiao always thinks that this is the best time for the Zhou family. Zhou Kang couldn't help but say again.

The best time?Zhou Yang silently chewed on the taste and nodded.

When Zhou Yang and his entourage arrived in Pengcheng, it was already November 12, and the temperature in Xuzhou was much lower than that in Huainan.

Along the way, you can see that the number of displaced people has been greater since the Huaishui River has passed, but the water conservancy construction and the repair of official roads have also been greater, which has greatly absorbed the displaced people from the north.

Zhou Yang also asked his subordinates to inquire, and most of the displaced people came from the three towns of Hebei.

The great drought and the southern invasion of the Khitans made the Han people on Lulong's side unable to stand on their feet and had to flee south; under the rule of the Chengde army, because of the paralysis of the local government, the power of the wealthy families and nobles swelled to the extreme, and a large number of tenants could not survive and could only flee south; as for the Wei Bo army, it was because of the continuous war.

These factors, coupled with Huaiyou's reputation for treating the homeless people well, made almost the entire three towns of Hebei run to this side, and even many of the original homeless people who fled into the territory of Daliang have been rerouted to this side.

Zhou Yang has been to Xuzhou, but he can see that Xuzhou has not changed much compared to the Xuzhou he came to before, which also means that Huaiyou has not experienced war when he won Xuzhou, which is a good thing.

After entering Pengcheng, Zhou Yang found that Xuzhou seemed to be more prosperous than before, which may have something to do with the increase in population, because some of the displaced people who went south also fled from the war, and many of these people also had thin assets, and those who joined relatives and friends lived in the city.

After resting first, Zhou Yang asked Zhou Kang to go to the Jiedu Embassy to post a visit, but what made him very depressed was that after the post was put in, there was no news for two days.

On the third day, Zhou Yang couldn't help it and went to the Jiedu Embassy in person, but the guards just asked him to wait for the message, and there was no clear answer.

Zhou Yang didn't know that Jiang Feng had already set off for Yizhou at this time, and the battle of Qingzhou was about to break out, so as the coach, of course he had to go to the front line.

Zhou Yang inquired through friends in Xuzhou, and learned that at this time, the Huaiyou (Wuning) Jiedu Embassy had been reorganized into a political hall and a privy hall, and he didn't know who he should go to when he couldn't see Jiang Feng.

In his opinion, officials like Cui Shang, who was born in the Liang system, should be the most closely related to Jiang Feng's interests, because they have nothing to do with Huaiyou locally, and can only firmly support Jiang Feng, and they should be most concerned about this kind of thing.

"What are you talking about?" Cui Shang originally didn't want to see the second son of the Shuzhou Zhou family, he was really busy with military affairs, and the battle of Qingzhou had entered the final stage of preparation.

The teacup fell to the ground, the fine Shouzhou yellow porcelain cup fell to pieces, Cui Shang stood up suddenly, and even his voice trembled a little: "You said Miss Tuesday was happy?

Looking at Cui Shang's expression, Zhou Yang knew that he had come to the right place this time, but there was a bitter look on his face: "Lord Cui, this is not something to boast about for the Zhou family, and adults also know it......"

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, as long as it's the county prince's, it's a great joy!"

Cui Shang was very sure in his heart, as one of Jiang Feng's top henchmen, he naturally knew Jiang Feng's absurd behavior in Luzhou, and actually forcibly occupied the people's daughter, oh, no, it was the wife of the criminal official, and later Yang Xun divorced the woman of the Zhou family, and he also knew, he didn't expect there to be such a story here.

The woman of the Zhou family is happy, and it is clear that she is the county prince, which is enough to make everyone feel a lot more at ease, even if she gives birth to a daughter, it doesn't matter, the key is that this shows that the county prince is fertile.

There are already three daughters by the side of the county prince, but there has been no movement for so long, which has to make everyone wonder if the county prince has a physical problem, which is undoubtedly the biggest concern of a feudal lord.

Now that the women of the Zhou family are happy, then this hidden danger will be eliminated, as for the future, it is nothing more than letting the county prince work more in this regard, even if it is to choose people, that is, to choose more women who can give birth to and raise them, and the harvest can also be harvested, right?

"I don't know ...... the county princess" Zhou Yang saw Cui Shangxi smiling, a little carried away, and couldn't help asking.

"Uh, alas, don't hide it from the second son, the county prince is not in Xuzhou at the moment, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the second son. Cui Shang came back to his senses at this time, and said in a deep voice: "If the second son is fine, you might as well take a rest in Xuzhou, and it is estimated that the county prince may be able to come back after a while." ”
