Hearing Li Qianzhe say this, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh.

Human beings are very complex, and it is difficult to generalize whether they are good or bad, virtuous or stupid. As far as the Xiao family's goods are concerned, Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, is really good. Just because he has been in Shu for more than ten years, and there is rarely chaos in Shu, it is worth commendating.

In the early days of the Southern Liang Dynasty, Shuzhong was by no means a country of abundance, with all kinds of contradictions emerging one after another, and civil uprisings and struggles one after another, so that it was evaluated as the greed and happiness of the Shu people.

Luo Yan, a Shu man, once said: The accumulation of disadvantages in Shu is not a one-time. A hundred families are villages, but a few families have food, and the poor are eight or nine out of ten, and the envoys of bondage are two or three in ten years. Greed and schadenfreude are insignificant and strange.

The Shu people's greed and heapude are not due to temperament, but because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor, as well as the heavy burden of taxes and labor, it is a real official coercion and rebellion, if you don't expose it, you will die without a place to be buried!

Since the founding of Xiao Liang, the assassins of Ren Shu before and after have also been talented people, but they are still inevitably turbulent.

This situation was not greatly improved until Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, went out of Shuzhong, and the people's livelihood and commerce were developed to a great extent. And when he went out of Shu to fight, he pulled more than 10,000 catties of gold alone, which also shows that the financial situation in Shu is very good.

But the wonderful thing about this kind of thing is that you don't know when it will overturn, at least before this year, Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, still has a good reputation in Nanliang. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, even if Hou Jing killed Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong in Jiangling, the king of Wuling, who was sitting in Shuzhong, was qualified to become the last hope of the whole village.

But what to say about Xiao Ji's move to call the emperor, it is really a bit stinky. Not to mention what the people of Nanliang think about this, even Li Tai and the people of neighboring countries have to say a word of rebellion when they talk about this time, because there is no legal reason to follow at all! Either you are the heir, or you are a great contributor to the country, but now you don't match either, what's the difference between you and Hou Jing?

Even many people in later generations talked about history and blindly broke the country's righteousness, not to mention that in this medieval political environment, King Wuling's behavior was an out-and-out one-man national thief! Even the king of Xiangdong has become thick-eyed and cute-looking compared with it.

Judging from the situation depicted by Li Qianzhe, Shuzhong is now not optimistic about the matter of King Wuling becoming emperor. This also reflects the success of King Wuling's rule of Shu from another aspect, at least it is to let the people understand the concept of family country and political power, let them understand that there is a vast world outside the world in Shuzhong, and understand that being too arrogant is to be beaten!

"There was a plan to cut down Shu in the country, and I returned to the country before to ...... for this"

Hearing Li Qianzhe's question, Li Tai did not hide it, so he simply told about the discussion on his return to China.

Li Qianzhe listened very carefully, and after listening to Li Tai's narration, he also nodded and said: "Lord Lang Jinyan is indeed a good plan not to attack Shu for the time being, and now many big clans in Bashu are worried that King Wuling may make his subordinates go east to compete with Jiangling, so they don't want to attach to him." Once the country sends a large army to knock on the pass at this time, Bashu must be neat and swear to defend the pass, so as to go east! ”

King Wuling's demands are not the same as those of the Bashu clans, and they are even a little contrary. Of course, King Wuling hoped to be able to go east out of Shuzhong, defeat the king of Xiangdong, and become the only heir of the entire Southern Liang, so that he could be justified.

But these Bashu clans obviously don't have too strong ambitions, they just want to hold this acre and three points of land in Shuzhong, and they are not willing to sacrifice their children's lives and waste their money and food for the wild and delusional thoughts of King Wuling.

If the Western Wei army presses the border at this time and launches an attack on Shuzhong, it will force them to work together and abandon their previous suspicions, and the entire Shuzhong is ironclad, whether it can be attacked or not, it will be a tough battle.

"Now that the Chinese and foreign governments are going to send personnel to negotiate directly with Shuzhong, we also need to change our affairs here. It can no longer be limited to collecting material benefits, but also to appease people's hearts. ”

Li Tai knew that once the personnel of the Chinese and foreign governments were in place, they would immediately start interacting with Shuzhong, and he knew a lot about the high efficiency of the Chinese and foreign governments. It may even be that before Liu Fan and the others arrived in Huazhou, the Chinese and foreign governments had already sent envoys to make preliminary contact.

As the war of Shu entered the formal preparatory stage, Li Tai was of course no longer satisfied with just exchanging some Shu brocade, and began to discuss with Li Qianzhe the plan for further land enclosure.

The Chinese and foreign governments mainly extorted money from the Yizhou officials in Shuzhong, and also contacted and recruited military personnel like Yang Qianyun who held military power and guarded the pass at the same time, but they did not attach much importance to the lobbying work of the powerful in Brazil and other places, and did not have so much energy to carry out this kind of meticulous infiltration work, which needed to be left for after Shuzhong was taken and then used as part of local governance.

In line with the principle of being one step ahead of everything, Li Tai decided that he would take the first step to arrest the work that the foreign government did not have time to do. What he discussed with Li Qianzhe this time was to contact those powerful Brazilian clans who were used to trading before, organize them, and take advantage of the Western Wei army to enter Shu to take the first step to surrender, so as to occupy a favorable position under the new order of Western Wei governing Shu.

After Li Qianzhe heard Li Tai's plan, he couldn't help frowning and said: "But at the moment, King Wuling has not yet shown his state of decay, and the Shu people are in danger of being blocked by the Sword Pavilion, I'm afraid they won't be easily convinced!" ”

Everything is one step ahead, what is said is good, but it has to bear the treatment that people do not understand, do not pay attention to, etc., and many times it will often get twice the result with half the effort, which is far less than the smooth thing that comes naturally.

For this point, Li Tai of course understands that King Wuling is a good pastor and official admired by everyone in Bashu, and if you want everyone to betray him, you must add money!

So he was also prepared, and after hearing Li Qianzhe say this, he smiled and said: "The Southern Liang country is in turmoil, and the same room is fighting, and there is no way to hide the signs of the end times." Bashu is closed, it is really difficult to become a country with the strength of the Shu people alone, and it is inevitable to belong to our country, but it is just a matter of time or time. If they are willing to join me, I can still try to protect their integrity and the integrity of the country, but if they continue to stubbornly defend themselves, they will only regret it in the end. ”

The truth is like this, but it is not enough to convince people, especially at the moment, it is not possible to directly send troops to increase its own deterrence, so it is still necessary to find another way. When this tough statement was completed, Li Taicai threw out his killer weapon again: "What if you add the method of sugar making?" ”

When Li Qianzhe heard this, he immediately hurriedly asked, "Does Lord Lang really want to teach this secret method to his people?" ”

"Why not? I had an agreement before, and I would never break my trust with others! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he said with a smile that he had used the secret method of sugar making to lure those Brazilian wealthy families to cooperate with him, and he also sent protons to Jingzhou respectively.

He wants to dominate the world, not to run a commissary. In the past, because the power could not be covered, or because I was worried about the guilt, I had to engage in some technical secrecy work, but as my own power reached a realm, any technology that can promote the development of productivity is promoted as quickly as possible!

At present, the profits of frosting sugar are indeed very expensive, but compared with the further development of power and the further improvement of status, these money profits are nothing. What's more, he taught the secret method of frosting sugar to others, which did not mean that he gave up the profits in this area, but because of the expansion of the scale of production, he gained broader development prospects and operation space.

"Frosting can be taught to them, but only if they can unite the masses and take action. At that time, there will be people in the army of Shu who will go to appease, as long as they follow the agreement, they can ensure that the situation in Brazil is not violated. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tai looked at Li Qianzhe again and said: "The general was originally a virtuous man with both civil and military skills, but he was trapped in the lack of people available in government affairs and had to temporarily entrust this matter. It's a big thing to do, and it's embarrassing. After this incident, I will recommend General Li for you to enter Shu with the army to fight. When there is merit, you can take advantage of the situation to sit in Shunan to guard the mouth of the gorge, I don't know what General Li wants? ”

"Shannan natives, unknown in the world, fortunately in the Lang lord did not give up the talent to conspire with each other, and gave important tasks. Lord Lang has something to do, and he will never give up! ”

When Li Qianzhe heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he was busy bowing and thanking him.

Since he defected to the Western Wei Dynasty, he had to grant hussars and open the mansion, although he was ordered to work hard in Shuzhong, and he did all the businessmen's business, but he did not suffer any loss from his hometown, and his brother was the herd of Benzhou, such treatment was second to none among all the Shannan Haoqiang who belonged to the Western Wei Dynasty, which was naturally inseparable from Li Tai's care. At this time, he was promised by Lord Lang to sit on the Shunan side, and Li Qianzhe was naturally grateful.

Li Tai bent down to help Li Qianzhe, and said with a smile: "There are many barbarians in Shunan, and if they don't follow the education, it will be indispensable to fight and suppress at that time, which may not be a good job." However, since the wealthy families in Brazil have obtained the method of sugar production, they are also eager to extract sugar from cane, and then the general can use his forces to open up southern Xinjiang! ”

Let these wealthy clans in Shu charge into battle for King Wuling, they can't help but beat the drum in their hearts, but if it is for their own interests, then they will roll up their sleeves and work hard!

Brazil is not suitable for growing sugarcane, but southern Sichuan, Yunnan, Huguang and other places are very suitable, giving these Brazilian giants a method of sugar production, undoubtedly to install small motors for them, not to worry that they do not forget these places to work hard to develop.

"I see, I see...... Lord Lang is really clever, and the end will be ashamed! ”

Li Qianzhe's eyes couldn't help but brighten up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again.
