Xiong Wuliang lazily pillowed Yingzhuo's legs, feeling the amazing softness under his head, which was very comfortable.

And the Quyang paper that our Quyang Marquis is holding in his hand is the message from Lingnan.

"These old aristocrats are really working hard." Xiong Wuliang smiled and muttered to himself.

As Xiong Wuliang expected before - the old nobles really used their strength to eat milk in order to build a foundation for themselves!

In just two or three months, [Cangwu North] has been built from a large area of desolate hills and jungles into a large-scale city. The city is full of post houses, infirmaries, taverns, arsenals, and even fireworks, but the city lord's mansion is missing—which is also normal, because this city was reclaimed by hundreds of pioneer groups, and there is no clear owner.

Of course, the city was large, chaotic, and poorly disciplined.

Here, the only rule is that the strong are king—whoever has the most men and the best equipment will be better positioned and given priority to draw water from the well......

Cough!

In any case, [Cangwu North] has already played the role of a cornerstone - hundreds of pioneer regiments can use this as a fulcrum to continuously bring food and money from the family, and encourage the many demons and monsters hired by the nobles to go all the way south.

……

At this moment, Lingnan.

Qu Ming sat in a light chariot, not wearing the usual fine and complicated brocade robes, but wearing a short linen robe, not like a nobleman, but like a peasant.

Although the clothes were cleanly washed by the underdog, they still looked embarrassed.

The main reason is that Lingnan is too hot, and Qu Ming can only half-roll up his sleeves and live like a barbarian...... He was still good, but as for the people in the families around the chariot, they were either shirtless or wearing sleeveless short clothes, which was really unseemly in the eyes of any nobleman.

The body is embarrassed, but the heart is extremely excited!

"Continue south today!" Qu Ming commanded: "Within a month, expand a large area of land, and everyone will be rewarded!" ”

The crowd responded: "Yes! ”

As hired people, they are equally excited – the employer is so generous that the reward is not small.

Qu Ming laughed and was full of spirit: "Lingnan! It will be the place of revival for my family! ”

Any farmer with a little experience will notice that the climate here is just too suitable for growing crops!

Under such climatic conditions, Xiong Wuliang's 'three crops a year' is estimated to be easy to achieve...... In addition, it has been a primeval jungle since ancient times, and the fertility of the land is amazing, and after removing those shrubs and large trees, the exposed land is almost ready to swell with oil as soon as you step on it.

If you can cook well, how much food can be grown on the land here...... It's unimaginable!

Although no minerals have been found, such land alone is enough to drive the nobles into madness!

If it weren't for the fact that the land to the south was endless, I am afraid that they would have fought each other.

Quyang Hou, Quyang Hou...... We treat you as a close relative, and you really don't play tricks with us!

Quyang Hou is really a big eel!

As for the so-called savages...... You've also encountered it.

Those barbarians were tattooed, and the weapons in their hands were very rudimentary, and they were really vulnerable in front of the organized pioneer regiment!

The pioneer regiment was not polite, and slaughtered the barbarian tribes that were found - those who resisted were slaughtered, and those who were willing to obey were taken into slavery.

Qu Yuan's new law prohibits the nobles from keeping Chu people as slaves.

Such a law greatly limited the manpower available to the nobles - coupled with the 'separation' effect of the Tui En Order, it could ensure that the nobles would no longer be able to mobilize private troops that could pose a threat to Yingdu from now on, except for spending money on short-term employment.

In this way, a large number of slaves were also released to become new 'countrymen', which skyrocketed by nearly one-third of the number of households on the books of Dachu.

The nobles were badly damaged...... But fortunately, although the new law stipulates that everyone is not allowed to keep 'Chu slaves', it does not stipulate that foreign slaves cannot be taken captive!

In the short term, it seems that there will be no foreign wars, and it will not be possible to capture the population...... But aren't these barbarians the best animals in front of them?

Wonderful!

The nobles, who had suffered heavy losses in the reform, began to frantically plunder those barbarians...... In [Cangwu North], hordes of barbarian captives have become the most enviable trophies, and there is no one!

The land waiting to be reclaimed will not be divided in the short term - but these population slaves cannot be reproduced!

As for the so-called thieves, there has not yet appeared...... But even if they show up, everyone won't panic anymore!

It is said that the first group of pioneer groups has made a lot of progress, and even though they strictly control the news, the rumors still spread...... After hearing about the fertility of Lingnan, those families who were still waiting and watching, because of the drive of interests, organized a large number of people to rush over.

Not to be outdone, those pioneer regiments that had already gained a firm foothold in the first round of pioneering, increased their investment.

Today's [Cangwu North] has a total population of more than 50,000 people! Most of them are young men!

What thief would dare to fight the idea here?

.

……

Deep in Cangwu Mountain.

This is a rather large tribe, with a total population of more than 10,000 at first glance, which is basically the limit of a tribe for barbarians with underdeveloped agriculture.

A tribe like this must be one of the best among the thousands of tribes in Lingnan!

At this moment, dozens of barbarian leaders gathered here, all with indignant looks on their faces—

“…… Violent Chu people! Destroy my home! Take my people captive! In the middle, there was an old barbarian with strange lines on his face and shouted angrily: "The ancestral place of our clan for generations is now being trampled under the feet of those Chu people!" ”

"Pity my three sons...... Because they refused to surrender, they died in the hands of the Chu people! ”

The more the old barbarian spoke, the more sad he became, and he fell to the ground and cried: "The sperm is sick! How long are you going to wait!? The Chu people are advancing southward, and sooner or later this place will be discovered! ”

There was a long silence.

The leaders of the barbarians felt the same way, especially the tribes closest to Cangwu Mountain, and some of them were also taken captive by the pioneer group of the Chu State, although they were not as miserable as the tribe that had completely leveled the village, but they were all filled with righteous indignation.

"The Chu people have settled in the north of Cangwu Mountain!" After a long time, someone finally added: "This shows that these Chu people are not on a whim, but want to live in Lingnan!" ”

"No one is immune!"

"Sperm! Decide! ”

Finally, the stout barbarian leader in the middle cleared his throat...... Everybody quieted down—

This guy has a fancy feather crown on his head, his complexion is bronze, his tendons and flesh are comparable to those of later bodybuilding champions, and his entire chest is painted with tattoos that he can't see clearly, and even his face has white delicate lines.

According to the tradition of the Lingnan barbarians - the more tattoos and the more exquisite they are, the higher the status of this person! The more brave the martial arts!

This person is obviously the leader of this tribe where everyone is located, and he is also the recognized master of the Lingnan barbarians-Xiang Li Ji!
