The act of reclaiming the army quickly calmed down the originally bewildered victims.

The abundant food supply also allowed the people to recover their physical strength quickly.

Li Zhi deliberately left them two days to understand everything here.

Then they began to arrange for these people to join the reclamation army.

As the time came to the end of summer, all the victims were finally received.

As a result, the number of people participating in the reclamation reached nearly 100,000 at once.

At this time, Li Zhi finally didn't have to worry about population migration.

What made Li Zhi even more pleased was that due to the application of some guano as fertilizer, the newly reclaimed land met the requirements for planting late rice.

This makes it self-sufficient in food.

Li Zhi can be regarded as completing most of the booking goals ahead of schedule.

With the addition of nearly 40,000 victims, the land that could be developed in Duanzhou soon reached saturation.

So Li Zhi's small hand waved, and the reclamation army continued to advance in the direction of Connecticut and Xinzhou.

The two states reported even fewer people, less than 20,000 combined.

Therefore, Li Zhi believes that after the reclamation of these two states is completed, most of the victims should be digested.

However, when the reclamation army came to these two states, Li Zhi soon found that he might be thinking too much.

Not only is the population much larger than the statistics suggest.

And here the sultry people showed great hostility to the arrival of the reclamation army.

They formed a huge team of several thousand people to block in front of Li Zhi, and resolutely refused to let outsiders enter the confines of these two states.

At first, Li Zhi did not intend to clash with these people.

So he decisively suspended the reclamation work.

He then sent someone to contact the assassins of these two states.

However, the reply was that they could not decide the affairs of these two states.

If Li Zhi wants to talk, then go and talk to their chieftain about the palace.

After hearing this reply, Li Zhi took a deep breath to calm his mood.

Of course, he already knew who Tan Dian was.

The territory occupied by this person includes Gaozhou, most of the area north of the Huazhou line.

Originally, Connecticut and New South Wales should not belong to his territory.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Zhi got such news.

This made Li Zhi have to think a little more.

Because just over two years ago, the imperial court had just helped Tan Dian and Feng Ang to reconcile the contradictions about the northern region of Gaozhou.

However, in just two years, the temple has secretly expanded its territory to several states.

What is he trying to do?

Does Feng Ang know all this?

You must know that both of them occupy a territory of no less than two thousand miles.

The slightest movement of such a big chief is a big deal for the imperial court.

So Li Zhi deployed the dragoons to the border of the two states respectively, and quietly sent someone to contact Feng An.

At this time, Feng Ang had just been named the Duke of Yue Guo and had received numerous rewards from Li Shimin.

Therefore, his loyalty to the imperial court was still very high.

When the messenger from the Canton government found Feng Ang and reported the situation to him, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

So he came to Guangzhou in person to meet Li Zhi regardless of his own danger.

When Li Zhi learned that Feng Ang had come to see him in person, most of his hanging heart had already been relieved.

So he immediately arranged for Duan Zhixuan to bring a group of officials from Guangzhou Mansion to a banquet for Feng Ang in the Jin King Pavilion with him.

At this time, although Feng Ang was already in his sixties, his face was full of red light due to proper maintenance.

In addition, he is relatively wealthy, so he looks less than sixty years old.

Li Zhi did not hold his own shelf.

Not only did he ask Duan Zhixuan to personally lead people to greet Feng Ang at the door of the Jin King Pavilion, but he also personally came to the staircase on the third floor to wait.

Li Zhi's attitude not only made Feng Ang let down his guard, but also swelled up with a sense of emotion in his heart.

Feng Ang had just stepped onto the ground on the third floor, and immediately bowed to Li Zhishen and said, "Old minister Feng Ang see His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to support Feng An's arm and then saluted back: "Xiao Wang has seen Feng Guogong. ”

After saying this, he stretched out his hand and led Feng Ang to the private room, and said, "Xiao Wang often hears that my father and emperor think of Feng Guogong.

It is said that the country is good at governance, loyal and prudent, and wins the hearts of the people. ”

Feng Ang was flattered and replied: "Your Majesty has benefited, what the old minister has done is just selling his reputation and reputation." ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "This king thinks that his father's evaluation is very accurate. ”

Speaking of this, he continued while arranging for everyone to be seated: "Although this king came to Guangzhou, he did not meet the Guogong, but he also heard many legends of the Guogong from the people. ”

Feng Ang said: "The people don't know the truth, most of them are spread by falsehood, Your Highness must not be gullible." ”

Li Zhidao: "Guogong doesn't have to be too humble, although Xiao Wang is not very old, he can still distinguish between merit and demerit." ”

Feng Ang bowed and said, "Your Highness appreciates the old minister." ”

Li Zhi first pulled the organ to signal for the food, and then spoke: "I want to come to the country to understand the purpose of this king's coming here. ”

Feng Ang said: "The old minister already knew, but he didn't know His Highness's ultimate purpose, so he didn't dare to disturb rashly. ”

Li Zhi smiled slightly apologetically after hearing this.

He had already heard some worry from Feng An's words.

Therefore, after laughing, he immediately explained: "It's not that Xiao Wang didn't want to inform Lord Guogong earlier.

It is true that the situation in this Lingnan land is too complicated.

Xiao Wang really didn't dare to reveal too much before he knew the attitudes of all parties. ”

Feng Ang said: "The old minister also knows His Highness's concerns, so he has not dared to come to disturb him. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Now that Lord Guogong has come to see him in person, Xiao Wang will take the lead to explain to your lordship." ”

After saying this, Li Zhi told Feng Ang about the imperial court's development plan for Lingnan.

After listening to Li Zhi's story, Feng Ang figured out why Li Zhi had never taken the initiative to contact the Lingnan clan after a little thought.

Since the imperial court's proposition was to implement Juntian in the land of Lingnan, it must affect the interests of their clans and tribes.

In this way, a natural contradiction is formed between the two sides.

And if the two sides cannot reconcile, it is very likely that a war will be needed to resolve the conflict.

Just when Feng Ang wanted to speak, there were suddenly two knocks on the door.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the private room was opened, and a team of maids rushed in and began to serve them food.

After the dishes were ready, the door was closed immediately, and the door was controlled by Chai Long and Master Duan.

Feng Ang got up and wanted to pick up the wine jug and pour the wine, but Duan Zhixuan took the lead.

Duan Zhixuan opened his mouth and said: "Feng Guogong is a guest from afar, so it is more appropriate to hand over this matter to the general." ”

Feng Ang smiled and said, "You and I are both working for the imperial court, where is there a distinction between host and guest?" ”
