Chapter Twenty-Four: Construction in the West and Rebellion in the East

I'm not here to bring you swords, I'm here to bring order to everyone!

This was the first thing Gao Ming said after seeing Yongkai. This sentence was later put on the lips of many people, including Yong Kai. A few years later, most of the people who study history in this world said that Emperor Gao's acceptance of Yong Kai showed that he had already deliberately wanted to betray the Great Jin. Some people scolded Gao Ming and said that he was a careerist and conspirator, while others praised Gao Ming and said that he had a unique vision and could take the lead in the chaotic situation in Yizhou back then.

It's just that what Gao Ming thinks at this time is that Lao Tzu wants to protect the interests of the business center I am about to establish, and he needs to build this five-foot road flowing with wealth into a safe and efficient wealth channel. His practice of protecting commerce, which is the most common in his world, is something that no one in this world would have imagined or understood. There are two roads from Ningzhou to Shudi, in addition to the five-foot road in the east, there is also the Lingguan Road in the west. This Lingguan Road is from Shu through Yueshan County and arrived in Ningzhou, in Gao Ming's view, this is a competition, his fiefdom was first built, he can't tolerate his first shot did not fire.

As for the geography of this world, he originally thought that it was exactly the same as in that game, but when he came from Shangluo, he was surprised to find that although many places could match, there were also many places that didn't match at all.

For example, Shudi. With his background in the Shushan Sect back then, he couldn't be more familiar with the territory and even the Yunnan and Guizhou regions. In his impression, Yunnan and Guizhou are not much different from Shu, although there are also mountain ranges, but there are not as many mountains as he sees now. He clearly remembered that there was a black swamp that stretched for thousands of miles on the other side of the Yunnan Land, and it was full of black air all day long, and people and beasts were rare. After he came here, he vaguely mentioned this matter to many people before and after, but no one knew. This forced him to keep these doubts to the bottom of his heart.

Based on the experience accumulated by his later generations from various aspects, only places with developed commerce and trade will develop into large cities. Although he clearly talked about the geography of Shu in his heart, he was naturally the first CD. But CD is CD, that is the fief of CD Wang Huang Fuying, not his clever fief.

Since Du Chou gave him an analysis of the political situation in the whole country and even in Yizhou that day, he has seriously considered how to strengthen his strength so that he can protect himself in the future turmoil. Thinking about it in this way, he realized that his territory was now lacking in everything.

There was a shortage of trained sergeants, which required a large population, and his territory now numbered just over four thousand.

Lack of weapons, lack of armor, which requires a lot of leather and pig iron, as well as skilled craftsmen. If you want to make that high-end weapon armor with talismans, you need a weapon talisman master and a large amount of spirit stones, animal blood, etc. According to Du Chou, a sergeant wearing armor and holding a sharp blade can ignore dozens of sergeants with the same skills but with bare hands.

He is still short of food and the Valley of Spirits. In short, everything is poor and white.

Regarding Gao Ming's idea of subduing the robbers, Du Chou did not support it at all at first. First of all, he is crossing the border. Secondly, he couldn't understand why he wanted to subdue these bandits.

Keeping business travel safe?

This is a matter of the government along the way.

Besides, robbers are rampant, and the caravans do not pass through this almost only passage all day long.

As for what Gao Ming explained, protecting the safety of the trade route would bring more business travel, and it would be more conducive to building the road into a trade center at the southern end of Shudi, which he would be skeptical.

Although he had seen people, he was trapped by the influence of traditional concepts, believing that the construction of territory was to promote agriculture and reduce taxes, which finally gave Gao Ming a sense of superiority in knowledge.

And Yong Kai's performance in the face of him made Gao Ming even more stunned, but also secretly suspected in his heart that the traverser really had any domineering spirit.

Before he came, he and Du Chou knew the information of Yong Kai in detail, and the two of them also deduced many times that the other party might put forward conditions, and their own side could provide the other party's bargaining chips.

Yongkai and the others are black households, although they have a worry-free life, there must be some people among them who want to progress. Civilians are okay, many people live in a mess all their lives, and those monks are not willing to bury their talents in the mountains. Who wants their children to have a better life, rather than being born in the middle of the mountains and not being able to see the world of flowers outside.

Gao Ming can give them the legal status of their descendants.

Gao Ming can also give them better cultivation techniques.

Gao Ming can give them more supplies.

Being smart can provide them with better medical care.

However, when Gao Ming proposed the first bargaining chip, Yong Kai was still hesitating, and Ruhu Wu Boss and others were already full of excitement, if it wasn't for Yong Kai who hadn't agreed, I am afraid that they would have already bowed their heads.

"As a noble prince, you can afford to look down on us, but without these benefits, I'm afraid that my brothers will have to follow the prince. Yong Kai finally spoke, "It's just that what Yong doesn't understand is what value does the prince like me and other people in the mountains and wilderness?"

"Order, a new order!" Gao Ming was overjoyed in his heart, and his mouth was even more gushing: "The current Wuchi Road is still disorderly, and there are hundreds of bandit groups large and small, ranging from hundreds to dozens of people, some of them want money, some of them are killed, some are only robbing a part, and some are all robbed. What I want to do is to unify the standards, not to let the big guys grab it again, but whether it is this kind of grabbing, it has to be done in a different way. After you take refuge in me, I will give you a certain amount of money every month, and you will no longer have to rob the merchants. Not only do we not rob, but we must also crack down on those robbers who dare to rob and plug in our designated merchants. Your children are sent to my fiefdom to study, any of you who are sick or injured can go to my fief for treatment, and if any of you don't want to live in the mountains, you can also move to my fiefdom......"

At the same time that Gao Ming subdued Yong Kai and others, in the easternmost part of Qingzhou, which was thousands of miles away from him, there was also a person who took his own slaves to a small island near the sea by boat, and defected to a group of pirates with a number of 500 people.

He didn't talk as verbose as Gao Ming, but after revealing his identity as a pavilion marquis and revealing his superb martial arts, the gang of robbers bowed down.

"Hahahaha," Qingzhou Leopard King Mi laughed and said to the pirates: "Follow my Wang Mi, and it is okay to worship the marquis in the future." ”

Since then, Wang Mi first subdued the pirates on several islands, and then began to lead this group of mainland outcasts who had to flee to the sea for various reasons to continuously go ashore and attack the coastal counties of Qingzhou, starting his professional rebellion.
