In Nanzhou City, Jiang Cheng, as a healthy Tsing Yi guard, often has to go out for a walk, and Jiang Wu and they have to honestly adapt to the environment here.

After wandering around for a few days, Jiang Cheng finally saw the familiar signs and sneaked into a courtyard, and Zhou Fu'an immediately appeared.

"Old Zhou, it's been a few days"

"Seven days, you're too slow"

"There's a lot going on the road, and it's all fast"

Jiang Cheng said with a smile, before setting off from Yongdu City, he sent a message to Zhou Fu'an, and Zhou Fu'an was still faster than him when he set off from Songshan, but this was also normal.

"What's going on, I think Nanzhou City is still quite quiet these days"

"Let's talk about this, what's going on over there in Matsuyama?"

"Half of Matsuyama is yours"

"Cheng Qingsong, they are so powerful?"

"You are very powerful, supported by your funds, Cheng Qingsong and they stick to your theory, we have opened up the fertile land, free of charge to those landless mountain people, and insist on only collecting 20% of the tax, this tax is also used to hire them to build water conservancy, all the people in our village can eat enough, after the summer harvest, the mountain people flocked to our village, they are willing to join our village, now there are seventeen such villages"

Zhou Fu'an replied, Jiang Cheng gave Cheng Qingsong the theory that they take from the people and use it for the people, and the treatment of all managers is very low, and the land tax they collect is only 20%, which is already very low, and in other places in Dawei, 45% is the norm, if you want to pay taxes and add all kinds of exploitation, it is too much to leave 20%.

In the first half of the year, it was just theoretical propaganda, and when it was time for the summer harvest, they really did it, and they immediately established credibility and prestige, and the mountain people in other parts of Songshan came to take refuge after hearing about it, so that the scale of their village expanded by I don't know how many times, and they couldn't live so many people, so they built in other original villages.

"Those landlords in Songshan won't have an opinion?"

"What if you have an opinion, their thugs and guards are considered third-rate masters, and they can't even beat Cheng Qingsong."

"It's good, Cheng Qingsong, how are they, are they still studying, have they bought a lot of books?"

"Yes, those orphans, including villagers, must be forced to read and write, and those who don't know how to read will be taxed twice next year, Cheng Qingsong, who has a foundation, can start trying to write articles, and most of them know hundreds of words."

"That's good, that's good."

Jiang Cheng smiled happily, he had done so many things, and he finally had something to pay off.

"Don't be good all the time, the gold you gave has run out, our income is too low, and you have to continue to invest a lot of money"

"It's okay, I'll figure out the money"

Jiang Cheng replied that the development of Songshan is so good, in fact, it is inseparable from Jiang Cheng's support, without Jiang Cheng's continuous input of funds, they would not have developed into such a simple one, they can't even afford to buy farming tools for clearing wasteland, let alone ploughing cattle, seeds and hiring mountain people to build water conservancy.

"I really don't know what you're trying to do, so much money is used for other things, and a team of thousands of people has been pulled up"

"Have a good time, Old Zhou, I came to you this time, I want to ask about the situation in the Southern Wilderness, and what is the situation of the remnants of the previous dynasty in the Southern Wilderness"

"You ask this, do you want to do something in Nanzhou?"

"Yes, the eldest princess Li Hongsleeve wants to be the emperor, and I am supporting her"

"Li Hongsleeve, she actually has this idea?"

Zhou Fu'an was shocked, isn't Li Hongsleeve a woman, she even wants to be the emperor, is there something wrong with Feng Shui in the Li family, and women are also interfering in the throne.

"Old Zhou, don't underestimate others, okay"

"Then who will you support in the future, Cheng Qingsong and they have made it their life's goal to overthrow Great Wei"

"I'll talk about this later, you talk about the Southern Wilderness first"

"Okay, then let's talk about the Southern Wilderness, the Southern Wilderness is a general name, there was this title before Daxuan, it refers to some barbarian lands, before Daxuan, Pingzhou was also the Southern Wilderness, and then Daxuan laid down Pingzhou and Nanzhou, set up the government, recruited the people, and turned the barbarian land into Daxuan's rule, it is not considered the Southern Wilderness.

Later, Da Xuan was gone, Da Wei didn't want to forge ahead, and the territory of Nanzhou never expanded, and the Southern Wilderness was still the Southern Wilderness."

"How big is the Southern Wilderness?"

"It's very big, I remember when Da Xuan, the tribes in the Southern Wilderness also appeared as male masters, unified dozens of tribes into Nanzhou to plunder, and were defeated by the King of Nan and the Daxuan court, and then Da Xuan sent an elite army of tens of thousands of people to sweep the Southern Wilderness, fighting thousands of miles, it is still a barbarian land, and the climate of the Southern Wilderness is harsh, these tens of thousands of people also suffered heavy casualties, and they retreated"

"I see"

Jiang Cheng nodded, this Southern Wilderness is a bit like the previous Yungui, the undeveloped Yungui, the miasma of the outer land, the army of the Central Plains drove in, and the non-combat attrition was terrible, so the effect of the military operation was very poor, and it depended on time to conquer little by little.

Those tribes are equivalent to the previous Tusi, lagging behind the productivity of the Great Wei for one or even two eras.

"What about the remnants of the previous dynasty of the Southern King, what is the situation now, what was the situation when I went to the Southern Wilderness before?"

"At the beginning, the king of the south raised troops to rebel against the Great Wei, was betrayed by the Yu family, and fled into the Southern Wilderness after the sneak attack, bringing very few people, only a few hundred people, and then collecting the remnants, only about 3,000 people, although the Yu family did not chase and kill after going to the Southern Wilderness, but was surrounded and suppressed by various tribes, and also fought for many years, and then slowly settled down.

Now many of those remnants have been assimilated by the barbarian tribes, and the Nanwang family is now the leader of the remnants, and they have also established a tribe, but the Yu family knows their identity, although they did not encircle and suppress them, but they did not give them the opportunity to exchange markets, and could only rely on the Wumeng Department, the largest tribe nearby.

The Wumeng Department is good at warfare, animal hunting, but it is not civilized, does not know how to keep accounts, does not know how to do business, and farming is also very weak, so it is quite dependent on us, the Wumeng Department has become more and more powerful in recent decades, relying on two, the first is to exchange markets with Nanzhou, and the second is to have the Chen family to help manage internal affairs, so that their warriors can concentrate on practicing martial arts and maintain strong force."

"It means that the Wumeng tribe and the remnants are deeply integrated?"

"No, the Wumeng Department is not stupid, it is very vigilant against the remnants, and the exploitation is very strong, and the remnants are not willing to really become barbarians, but just send people into the Wumeng Department to do things"

"It's complicated enough"

"Yes, I can't understand it last day, but many of the remnants actually don't agree with Daxuan's identity, they just want to live a peaceful life, but it's a pity that Nanzhou can't get in, and the barbarians don't accept them."

"Now there is a chance, this time the Wumeng Ministry interfered in the succession of the throne of the King of Zhennan in Nanzhou, the King of Zhennan will not tolerate them, I will help, how about you replace the Wumeng Department"

"Do you have what it takes? Do you know that the barbarians will not tolerate them, even if the Great Xuan is gone for sixty years?"

"You have advanced productive forces, and you have enough force, what barbarians are afraid of, but you just lack an opportunity, and now the opportunity is coming, in short, you just need to be ready."

Jiang Cheng replied that a group of civilized people in advanced areas in the past will be conquered by barbarians, and they are also wasted enough, of course, this is also related to the general environment, but now the general environment is about to change.

"The imperial court is ready to cut the feudal domain, right?"

"Yes, the big war is going to start"

"It's not that simple, the three kings with different surnames are in the same breath, and I'll tell you a secret, the king of Zhennan has private soldiers in the southern wilderness, although Nanzhou did not continue to develop the territory, but the king of Zhennan has made a lot of people in the southern wilderness, and some tribes are controlled by the king of Zhennan"

"It's expected, this is fine, no matter how powerful King Zhennan is, he can't compare to Da Wei's"

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"It's not interesting to ask this, in short, Zhou Lao is fortunate to take a trip, go to the Southern Wilderness, let the remnants of the previous dynasty prepare, and send someone over, listen to my command, listen to me, in the future, you will be the strongest tribe within a radius of hundreds of miles, and you will have a good life in the future, if you don't listen to me, you will continue to be slaves, or be slaves of barbarians"

"Hey"

Zhou Fu'an sighed, and said to Jiang Cheng, those remnants of the previous dynasty would also agree, their lives have been too hard these years, they have to worry about the retaliation and encirclement of Nanzhou, and they have to endure the exploitation and oppression of the Wumeng Department, and now they have the opportunity to turn over and be the master, how could they not agree.

"How is Old Zhou's martial arts, has the Great Grandmaster arrived?"

"It's here, and according to the cheats you left behind, you're transforming your internal strength, and you've already turned two percent of your internal strength into true qi, and now I'm several times stronger than last year, and the Great Grandmaster of Leisure won't be my opponent."

Zhou Fu'an admired Jiang Cheng very much at this point, not only gave him the Hantan grass, but also gave him extremely powerful cheats, these things, except for Jiang Cheng, who could take them out so selflessly.

"It seems that Zhou Lao's realm is very deep, and he didn't even go to Li Qingyun to fight hard"

"Cheng Qingsong and they are going to overthrow Dawei, compared to this matter, my little grudge is a small matter, and it will be calculated slowly in the future."

"Admire"

"If there's anything else to explain, let's talk about it together."

"Okay, listen to me..."

Jiang Cheng told his thoughts one by one, this matter is not planned, only random changes, so Jiang Cheng only said ideas.

The probability of Yu Zhaoyuan ascending the throne now is very low, once Yu Zhaohua becomes the king of Zhennan, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity of the Wumeng department, and Jiang Cheng feels that the imperial court has made a move, and Yu Zhaohua is not so easy to become the king of Zhennan, and there will be trouble at that time, these are the opportunities for the remnants, seize it, it is not a problem to overthrow the Wumeng department in one fell swoop, and the strength of the Wumeng department is not strong, isn't that strong man the first warrior of the Wumeng department, and now he is by no means Zhou Fu'an's opponent.
