"Originally, I was worried that there would not be enough people in the cottage."

"Twenty-eight post stations, all of them have problems, and all of them need to be replaced by our people."

"In addition to the post station, there are also some local forces that also need to be deterred."

Jiang Yanchi rarely said so many words, but this was also a helpless thing, he left for a month and dealt with too many problems.

This is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two.

"Local forces? Those bandits? Or - "officers and soldiers in the county?" A wealthy family in the countryside?

During the time that Shen Wu stayed in the mountains, she was not just busy with recruitment and infrastructure construction, she would also go to the three county towns under the rule of Lizhou.

When you're done walking around the city, you'll go outside the city.

Therefore, she knows a lot about the current situation - collusion between officials and bandits, and rampant wealth.

Even if there are no government soldiers, there are also Hao slaves in the county order and the Hao family.

Maybe the number is not particularly large, but thirty or fifty people can set off a storm in a small county town.

There is no way, with the existence of Dasheng in name only, the prestige of the government has also declined.

What restricts the people of the world is no longer the "Great Sheng Law", but soldiers and swords.

If you have a gun, you are the king of grass.

In the countryside, more than ten people can form a small force to deter ordinary people.

If the government does not act, or even colludes with it, it can oppress and extort the people.

Shen Yu believes that this should be the case on the official road.

Jiang Yanchi is simply not enough to level those post stations, if he doesn't solve the local forces, even if the post stations are replaced with his own people, they won't be stable for long.

After a while, the people in those inns were either pulled into the water by the locals or were removed.

In the end, Shen Wu still couldn't completely control this official road.

"There are bandits, there are also the servants of the county government, and the wealthy families in the countryside."

Jiang Yanchi listened to Shen Yan's words, and knew that she understood the current environment - chaos!

If Shen Wan wants to restore order, in addition to being strong enough, she also needs to cooperate with certain forces.

"Zheng family!"

Jiang Yanchi spit out two words, "They have been thriving in Yin County for nearly a hundred years, with deep roots and leafy leaves, and they are quite powerful. ”

In the past, Jiang Yanchi would not have taken this kind of rural rich man in his eyes.

100 years of prosperity?

A place of power?

Hehe, Jiang Yanchi's own family is a family, and the people he comes and goes with are all families, or powerful people who have been prosperous for one or two hundred years.

Less than 100 years?

For ordinary people, they are naturally nobles.

But for the real nobles, it is a turtle that does not enter the stream.

Of course, Jiang Yanchi is not a superficial person.

His indifference and arrogance are indiscriminate.

Whether it is a noble person or a lowly slave, there is no difference in his eyes.

However, this time, for the sake of Shen Wu, he still let go of his pride a little, contacted the Zheng family, and finally reached a cooperation.

"The Zheng family?"

Shen Wu is not a local, so naturally she has not heard of it.

She will pay attention, mainly because Jiang Yanchi frowned slightly when he mentioned the Zheng family.

Could it be that what is so special about this Zheng family?

Jiang Yanchi was keenly aware that Shen Wu had noticed his micro-expression, and he hooked the corners of his lips.

For one, his little princess is still so perceptive;

Second, the little princess still pays so much attention to him.

If you don't really care about people, how can you care so carefully about his smile and smile?

Jiang Yanchi's mood became better and better, and his patience became extraordinary: "Speaking of which, this Zheng family has something to do with you and me!" ”

Shen Wu's eyes widened.

It is only that the Zheng family has a relationship with Jiang Yanchi, although the Jiang family is not as good as the first-class families such as the Li family and the Cui family, but it is also a third-class family.

A behemoth like a family can monopolize most of the social resources, not only by its own family, but also by crazy marriages.

There are many in-laws all over the world, and you can meet relatives wherever you go.

One table is three thousand miles, and for the family, there are more cousins and a wider range of radiation.

Even the royal family is actually the in-laws of the family.

Wait a minute!

The little princess is the royal family, could it be that this Zheng family is also married to the royal family?

"My maternal grandfather has a concubine who married into the Zheng family."

And the Zheng family has a daughter, who is the concubine of Shen's stepfather, and she is also Shen Ji's mother-in-law. This concubine also gave birth to a younger brother to Shen Ji......"

Jiang Yanchi slowly talked about the relationship between him, Shen and the Zheng family.

Jiang Yanchi's maternal grandfather's concubine, that is, his aunt, married the Zheng family, and the daughter of the Zheng family is Jiang Yanchi's cousin.

Shen Ji's mother-in-law's maiden family is not a serious relative.

But if the Zheng concubine gave birth to a son, the Shen family could lick their faces and call Shen Ji's younger brother a cousin, and if they were thick-skinned, they could also call Shen Ji a cousin.

And Shen Wu is Shen Ji's cousin, if the Zheng family is shameless, they can also call Shen Wu a cousin (cousin).

Shen Wan: ...... What kind of messy kinship is this? It hurts her brain to hear it!

You can't beat it with eight poles!

On the contrary, in ancient times, it was like this.

Talking carefully, most of the circle of powerful people are relatives of each other.

For example, that talented woman through the ages, where would future generations have thought that she was actually related to the traitorous minister?

"Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm dizzy!"

Shen Wu hurriedly waved her hand and begged for mercy with a face.

It's not that she can't figure it out, but she doesn't need to.

Kinship, at best, is an excuse for cooperation between the two sides.

What can really promote cooperation is not really a relationship, but interests.

“…… Be! Your Highness! ”

Seeing that Shen Wu was speechless, Jiang Yanchi stopped teasing her, ended the topic of relatives, and began to continue to talk about the details of cooperation-

"The Zheng family said that they can help us defend the station, they will not interfere, and they will not make trouble."

Shen Wu nodded in no hurry, and asked directly, "What do they want?" ”

"They know that our Longmen trade will transport supplies through this official road, so they want to share the profits."

Shen Wu was direct, and Jiang Yanchi was also simply and directly stated the conditions of the Zheng family.

"Yes! However, only five percent can be given. ”

It's just a toll.

Shen Wu was not afraid of the Zheng family, but there was no need to add trouble.

With her current strength, she can wipe out a Zheng clan.

But what about after the extermination?

If the Zheng family is destroyed, there will be other families coming up.

They will continue to use their own strength to set up obstacles in Yin County and even the entire official road.

As long as she doesn't occupy Lizhou for a day, she can't deter those wealthy families.

“…… I also gave five percent! ”

A smile flashed in Jiang Yanchi's eyes, look, he and the little princess have such a heart-to-heart connection.

Jiang Yanchi likes this feeling too much.

Even if they were separated for a month, even if Shen Wu was not around at the time, he could have the same idea and the same bottom line as her.

When he communicated with her, it was so harmonious and beautiful.

It's a pity that the beauty is destined not to be broken-

"Village master, there is a woman outside, claiming to be the cousin of you and Jiang Guard......"
