Xie Jin was at a loss, and didn't understand what this matter had to do with Ai Cui and Song Qin's wife. However, he didn't know that the reason why Song Qin was unusually willing to take the initiative to donate the land today was closely related to his wife.

In the same way that Ai Cui had a virtuous wife, Song Qin also had a virtuous wife named Liu Shuzhen, and the same as Mrs. Shezi, this Mrs. Liu Shuzhen was also a long-term strange woman, and after learning the ins and outs from Song Qin's mouth after the banquet that day, she urged Song Qin to take the initiative to offer land to Zhu Su.

For the same reason that Madame Schetz admonished Ai Cui, Liu Shuzhen believed that if Da Ming wanted it, the Song family would definitely not be able to stop it. Instead of not knowing what to do and letting the Ming Dynasty salute first and then the soldiers, it is better to take the initiative to dedicate the land to win the favor of the Ming Dynasty.

Mrs. Liu Shuzhen also offered a plan, since they had already won the first place in Shuixi, then they simply took the initiative to say that they did not want any compensation, and such a retreat would definitely greatly win the favor of the imperial court. Sure enough, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou was greatly moved and took the initiative to promise many benefits. It's a pity that the water is in the way......

"Madame, ma'am." As soon as Song Qin returned to the tent, he shouted angrily.

Mrs. Liu Shuzhen was reading a book at that time, she was in the Buyi tribe, but she was a strange woman who was incompatible with other tribesmen, not only did she learn Han culture, but she was also proficient in Sinology, and she had the demeanor of the Han family lady and the atmosphere of the head mother of the big family. Hearing Song Qin's shouting, he didn't panic, but put down the scroll in his hand indifferently, and then stood up to meet his husband: "Husband, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”

"It's just a little bit, it's a little bit! Madam, don't you know, that damn Aicui ......" Song Qin beat his chest and paused his feet, adding fuel and vinegar to today's events.

Mrs. Liu Shuzhen went to the truth and figured out what happened from her husband's incompatible narrative. She thought for a moment and said, "Don't be angry...... In my opinion, with such a big benefit, His Royal Highness King Zhou would not have allowed people easily. ”

"How could that be?" Song Qin's eyes widened. "His Royal Highness King Zhou said it himself......"

"His Royal Highness King Zhou didn't say that he would hand over all these efforts to our Shuidong family." Mrs. Liu Shuzhen said. "According to me, His Highness should have planned to divide these powers between the two families, the west and the east, with each of them holding half of the power...... How can such power be paid into the hands of one family? Isn't the imperial court trying to kill my Shuidong Song clan? ”

"The reason why His Royal Highness said that is to provoke the grievances in Shuixi Aicui's heart, in order to please His Highness, Aicui will definitely do his best to help His Highness build a new city. Then we will definitely not want to be left behind, and the two families will compare with each other, and the court will be profitable. ”

"Is that so?" Song Qin glared at the bronze bell-like eyes, slapped the table and stood up: "His Royal Highness King Zhou looks kind, how can he have such a tricky mind?" ”

"I'll go and tell him now, I won't give this land......

"No!" Mrs. Liu Shuzhen hurriedly grabbed her husband and stomped her feet anxiously. "Why are you so reckless? Is it true that the army of the Duke of Liang Guo behind His Royal Highness King Zhou is furnished? ”

"You...... How can you be a patriarch like this, do you want my Shuidong to face a catastrophe? ”

Song Qintian was not afraid of the ground, but he was most afraid that his mother-in-law would shed tears, and when he saw her like this, his face flushed with anger instantly froze. Hurriedly leaned down to comfort his wife: "This, this...... Madame, I didn't mean that......"

"That'...... This...... Alas! Could it be that we can only teach the court to calculate? ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhou is also thinking about official affairs, where can it be called calculating?" Mrs. Liu Shuzhen said. "Whoever contributes more will benefit whoever the court will give...... This is a matter of course, and His Royal Highness King Zhou didn't calculate anything. ”

"What's more, the establishment of a city and trade is also a great good thing for us...... It is a great good thing that the imperial court is willing to hand over all the powers of the tax department. Its line is far better than the old yuan. ”

"I thought that the Ming Dynasty wanted to build a city here as the old Yuan, and if the other Tusi knew that the Ming Dynasty was so lenient, they would all rush to it, begging the Ming Dynasty to build the new city on their own land...... You, you still want to take such an opportunity out of the ...... You, you are really ......" Mrs. Liu Shuzhen stomped her feet angrily.

Song Qin hurriedly admitted his mistake, so that he could appease his wife, who was ruined by his recklessness and stubbornness.

"The benefits of this city are categorically not paid for by one family, this matter is obviously obvious." Mrs. Liu Shuzhen is seductive. "His Royal Highness deliberately ordered Shuixi Aicui, why didn't he mention us, the imperial court originally wanted us to fight, and the first step was that the amount of benefits distributed to us by the imperial court depends on our efforts to build the city this time."

"Ai Cui may not understand this, but his wife Shez is a smart person, and she must persuade Ai Cui to do her best to help Da Ming in order to win the biggest bargaining chips...... Husband, we must not fall behind them, and this is also for us to build a city, why not do our best to fight for a future for me? ”

"Yes, yes, listen to Madame." Song Qin heard it in a fog, but he understood one thing, this matter was also very beneficial to Shui Dong, so he also nodded his head.

A similar conversation also took place in the camp tent of Shuixi Aicui. Under the persuasion of the two virtuous ladies, on the second day, Ai Cui and Song Qin coincidentally expressed their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and took the initiative to undertake the task of building a new city for the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the other toasts also knew about the promises made by the Ming Dynasty to the two toasts, and the toasts took the initiative to invite Zhu Su to their territory to build a city, and voluntarily bear all the expenses.

But it was too late, Zhu Su had already summoned the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to confirm the general scope and regulations of the new city with great efficiency, and then the two families of Shuixi and Shuidong each contributed to build half of the city, and the imperial court was responsible for providing cement and other building materials. Naturally, the name of Shunyuan City must not be used, so this new city was named "Guiyang" by Zhu Su.

The two families of Shuixi and Shuidong competed with each other, but under the mediation of the imperial court, there was no substantive conflict. However, because of the competition between the two families, the construction of Guiyang City was advancing rapidly, and it didn't take long for the prototype of this city to appear on the land of Guizhou.

Zhu Su quickly traveled to the old Zhu, and when the old Zhu heard the news, he transferred several generals to help Zhu Su, and began to set up two garrison guards in Guiyang City, Guiyang Wei and Guiyang Qianwei.

At the same time, the Shuixi and Shuidong tribes also began to build the relevant post roads around Guiyang, and under the intentional promotion of Zhu Su and the two Tusi, Guiyang City began to gradually prosper.
