"A long time ago, I don't remember exactly how long it was, that's what my dad told me, there is a huge dynasty, I don't know how big it is, it's big anyway." Gu Man recalled carefully: "The emperor of that dynasty was a woman, and then the ancestor of our Batong was the minister of the empress, and then the female emperor was plotted to die, and the dynasty was gone, and our ancestors took the remaining loyal ministers all the way to southern Xinjiang for refuge, which has continued until now." ”

"Gone?" Lu Fengxian looked at Gu Man in amazement, is there any difference between this and what Little Grayskin said?

"It's gone." Gu Man nodded affirmatively.

"Your practice was also passed down at that time?" Lu Fengxian frowned and asked.

The practice method of the little gray skin is very peculiar, as long as you keep eating, in addition to the daily boiling strength, you are either eating or looking for food on the way on weekdays.

"How do I know that?" Gu Man shook his head, their cultivation methods have been passed down from generation to generation, but his father didn't say the specific source back then.

"Forget it, let's arrange for other lords to come to see as soon as possible, regarding cooperation, Daming has absolute sincerity here." Lu Fengxian could only put his hope on the other lords.

There are many tribal patriarchs in southern Xinjiang, but there are only eight who can be called the lord of the mountain, which is the eight mountains that Xiao Graypi said, and at the same time, the lord of the eight mountains can determine the future direction of southern Xinjiang and the attitude of the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent.

Three days later, the lords of the Eight Mountains gathered at the Divine Elephant Mountain.

"Gu Man, didn't you say that the Kyushu Imperial Court had bad intentions? Why are you coming to us again to discuss this matter now? In the lobby of the Divine Elephant Mountain, the other seven lords arrived one after another, and a square-faced man with red hair frowned and glanced at Lu Fengxian: "Who is this person, unlike us from southern Xinjiang." ”

"In Xia Lu Fengxian, this time I came to discuss cooperation with southern Xinjiang on behalf of the Ming Dynasty." Lu Fengxian looked at the man and said, "This must be the Lord of the Divine Fire Mountain, right?" ”

"Da Ming? Isn't the Kyushu Imperial Court called Daqian? The Lord of the Divine Fire Mountain looked blankly at the Lord of the Divine Beast Mountain on the side.

"That was 800 years ago, I remember it should be called Daqian." The Divine Beast Lord shook his head.

"Daqian has perished, now called Daming, they have mountains and rivers seals." Gu Man explained: "My daughter Gu Hui is now a general in Daming, and this time she is a guarantor. ”

"You won't be deceived by the people of Kyushu, Gu Man, you have suffered the most in this regard." The voice of the Divine Gu Dao Lord was a little gloomy and compassionate, and his body was also shrouded in a black robe.

"Don't worry, Gu Hui is the smartest woman in our tribe, she is smart when she is young, and there will be no problems." Gu Man waved his hand confidently.

"You just said they have mountain and river seals?" The female lord, who had never spoken, suddenly asked.

"Hmm." Gu Man nodded and said: "Gu Hui is now in the fifth grade, and he is not old at all, he has been out for more than thirty years, if there is no mountain and river seal, I am afraid that he will die of old age." ”

"If there are mountains and rivers, this matter can be discussed, but we must have a god position in southern Xinjiang." The Lord of the Shenmu Cave looked at Lu Fengxian.

The remaining two lords who didn't speak also nodded.

"Guys, first of all, let's understand." Lu Feng first looked at the people: "The development of southern Xinjiang is a reciprocity between you and me, I am willing to give southern Xinjiang supplies in the form of materials, build cities in southern Xinjiang, open schools for children in southern Xinjiang to study, and Ming needs all kinds of medicinal materials, wood, minerals and other materials developed from southern Xinjiang, in this matter, we are equal." ”

Lu Fengxian looked at everyone and said: "As for the official position, or the god position, as long as this southern Xinjiang is developed, there will definitely be it, and the imperial court also tends to use southern Xinjiang talents, but this is not giving, but taking merit in exchange, you can give full play to your own advantages in this cooperation, according to performance, the imperial court will have the most fair reward, and the specific matters can be discussed with the special officials sent by the imperial court." ”

"And how much can you give?" Lord Shenshui looked at Lu Fengxian and asked.

"Since southern Xinjiang is dominated by eight mountains, we will divide ten seven-rank official positions and ten mountain god land quotas in southern Xinjiang, as for who will hold it, it depends on the sincerity of the various ministries in southern Xinjiang in the future cooperation." Lu Fengxian briefly introduced the chips here.

There were counties and counties in southern Xinjiang during the Great Dry period, but they were nothing more than a reality, and the cities built in those years have long been dilapidated.

"How do you want to work together?" The beautiful eyes of the Lord of Shenshui looked at Lu Fengxian, those eyes seemed to be able to speak, and with the enchanting posture, his eyes seemed to be drawn.

"It's a good trick." Lu Feng praised it first, broke through the other party's means, and asked the other party not to play this kind of trick, and then said: "The first is to develop the minerals that have been discovered in southern Xinjiang, and the Ministry of Industry will send people to build facilities to establish special mineral mining, and will also help southern Xinjiang build ten cities and build roads; The second is to select precious plants suitable for planting on a large scale, reclaiming fertile land, and there will be special people here in Daming to teach special cultivation skills. ”

"We'll do the same for farming." Gu Man was puzzled.

"Equipment, seed selection, planting concepts, as far as I know, southern Xinjiang is still at the level of hundreds of years ago, and now in my Ming Dynasty, ordinary land, used to grow millet, one mu can produce about 700 catties of grain, I think the planting technology here should not be able to reach it!" Lu Fengxian asked.

"This matter, our god elephant has agreed!" Gu Man didn't say a word when he heard this, the large amount of food in the Divine Elephant Mountain is not the same as the little gray skin, but the whole tribe is like this, unlike other monks who can gradually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after reaching the sixth grade, the higher the cultivation of the Divine Elephant Mountain, the greater the amount of food, and the demand for food is also the largest, and the planting technology of southern Xinjiang, the output value per mu is about 300 catties, which is still because of the reason for two harvests a year.

Therefore, Lu Fengxian's proposal is the biggest temptation for the gods.

"That's your business, the eight mountains are the same as the branches, we don't agree, what's the use of you agreeing?" The Divine Gu Dao Lord glanced at Gu Man.

"Then I will withdraw from the ...... on behalf of the Divine Elephant Mountain" Gu Man subconsciously wanted to say the answer he thought of instantly, but was slapped back by the Lord of the Divine Water Mountain.

"Smack~"

"Stinky bitch, what are you hitting me for!?" Gu Man said angrily.

"Shut up! How can you negotiate like this!? The lord of Shenshui Mountain glared at the barbarian with some annoyance: "For the sake of stuttering, even the ancestral training has been forgotten." ”

"Eat the biggest, our god elephant mountain has people starving to death every year, and you don't know it."

"In addition to planting, there is also breeding and textile, and we can send people here to teach you breeding techniques." Lu Fengxian said with a smile.

"Breeding?" Hearing this, the Divine Beast Mountain and the Divine Gu Mountain Lord couldn't help but laugh: "Do you know what we do? ”

The ability of the Divine Beast Mountain is to control the beast, and the Gu worm of the Divine Gu Mountain is a big killer.

"I know, but I'm not talking about the beast, but breeding, simply put, is to breed animals that specialize in meat, in Kyushu, now the pig can be slaughtered a year, a pig is about a thousand catties, and our breeding technology can improve the fertility of pigs, the main beast is for war, and we breed, for satiety, if it can be developed, even if the people of southern Xinjiang do not hunt in the future, they can eat meat every day."

"It's the same with insects, we may not know how to kill people, but the honey collected by the bees we cultivate is not only sweet, but also has extremely high medicinal value."

"How!?" Gu Man looked at the two masters of the Divine Gu Mountain and the Divine Beast Mountain with some urgency, his eyes exuded a strong desire, and behind him, Xiao Gray Skin and Gu Li also kept swallowing their saliva, looking at the two of them with burning eyes.

"General Lu, this matter is only good for us, but it doesn't seem to be good for the imperial court, you won't be lying to us, right?" The Lord of Shenshui Pass had just been broken by Lu Fengxian, and he was a little unhappy, and at the same time, he was also a little worried, the conditions proposed by the other party were too good, so good that they were a little untrue.

"First of all, luck!" Lu Fengxian looked at the crowd: "Southern Xinjiang is in Jinzhou and Liuzhou, but it has not been under the control of the imperial court, let alone luck, now our dynasty has a complete mountain and river seal, complete politics and religion, the development of southern Xinjiang, naturally hopes that all the departments of southern Xinjiang can be integrated into Kyushu, after all, according to the legend of southern Xinjiang, we are actually a family, not a different race, there is a premise of integration." ”

"And the imperial court is not prepared to solve the problem of southern Xinjiang by force, although I Ming Dynasty established the country by force, but never raised an unrighteous army, this way of forced suppression, or can be subjugated by southern Xinjiang for a while, but it is not a real integration, what we want is to establish a peaceful country, so the imperial court decided to use this method after discussion."

"Secondly, there are many special products in southern Xinjiang that are not available in other parts of Kyushu, these things, in fact, even in the past mining methods are enough to make all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang worry-free, but because of the internal problems in southern Xinjiang and the improper handling of the great cadres in the past, the profiteers are rampant, and the wealth that belongs to southern Xinjiang is transferred to their private property by buying low and selling high, and therefore the contradictions between the two sides are accumulating deeper and deeper. The imperial court will set up a price yamen to ensure that the people of southern Xinjiang can buy what they need at the right price. ”

"Finally, in terms of population, there are more than 100 departments in southern Xinjiang, but the population is not even 500,000 as far as I know, and the development of southern Xinjiang can allow all tribes to obtain a stable and comfortable living environment, so that after 20 years, the population of southern Xinjiang can at least double, and the population will increase, and the luck will naturally increase, and more masters can be cultivated, and we can also establish schools and cultivate talents, which is mutually beneficial for both you and me."

"This is the benefit of the imperial court, you say that it is annexation, I don't recognize it, Lu can assure you that the imperial court will never force anyone to join the imperial court by force, from the lord to the ordinary people of southern Xinjiang, whether to become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty or not is entirely voluntary."

Lu Feng saw that everyone's faces were still hesitant and wary, and he smiled: "You don't have to reply immediately, I'm just here to build a bridge for everyone to communicate, the specific situation, the people from the imperial court are nearby, you can go back and think about it, if you want, you can talk in detail about the details of the next cooperation, as well as the future ownership issues." ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded silently, this kind of thing, except for Gu Man, who lacked roots in his brain, everyone else still felt that they should be cautious, and they could only decide after discussing it with the people in the clan.

However, what Lu Fengxian said was so sincere, they were indeed a little moved, and naturally they would not refute Lu Fengxian's face, and they promised to give the court a chance to negotiate, and then after chatting about some specific matters, they each got up and said goodbye and left, this matter is over on Lu Fengxian's side, and the rest depends on Lu Chao's ability.
