Chapter Ninety-Six: It is difficult to be satisfied with the land of the bandits, and the soldiers are selected to go to the post (ask for collection! ask for recommendation!)
Laizhou Prefecture, Shenhua County, Qingping County, Hosoliucheng, Xiaochuan's fiefdom!
Having said so much above, of course it can't all be Ogawa's fiefdom. Ogawa's fiefdom is Hosoyanagi Castle, Hosoyanagi Castle in Laiju Prefecture, Tiannan County, and Qingping County!
There are 36 states, 720 counties, and 3,415 counties. Qingping County is one of them, and Xiliucheng is a city under the jurisdiction of Qingping County.
"I have a city!" I have a city!" "I have a city!" Xiao Chuan, who had obtained the fief, ran rampant in the house like a crab in excitement.
The maids Xiu'er and Ling'er looked at the excited Xiaochuan, and stopped talking several times.
......
"When can I leave?" Xiao Chuan looked inquiring, but his expression of eagerness to leave immediately was clearly on his face.
A banker's ticket from Qian Zhuang was pushed in front of Xiao Chuan by Liang Zhen.
"A million gold coins!" Xiao Chuan's eyes rolled, and he pondered Liang Zhen's intentions.
Liang Zhen sat aside, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the beard on his chin, looking at Xiao Chuan as if he was smiling, making it impossible to associate the current Liang Zhen with the appearance of Xiao Chuan a few days ago.
Liang Zhen's move was too abrupt, which gave Xiaochuan a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, Liang Zhen's next words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring Xiaochuan thoroughly from head to toe, and the raging flames that were full of spirit and strength were extinguished in an instant, and there was not even a little spark left.
Laizhou Prefecture is located in the southernmost part of the Dahan Kingdom, with 17 counties under its jurisdiction.
Tiannan County happened to be next to the Izumo Empire, the Great Han Kingdom for more than 400 years, and the wars here were almost uninterrupted, although many times it was a little fighting, but the people's livelihood withered, and the development was backward is an indisputable fact.
The Great Han Kingdom had long regarded Tiannan County as a buffer zone with the Izumo Empire, and of course this kind of thing could not be put on the table.
"What I got was a place abandoned by the Empire......" Ogawa was devastated.
But the blow was obviously not over yet, and Liang Zhen's words almost made Xiaochuan vomit blood.
"Qingping County is not peaceful at all, the land here is barren and the people are fierce. The local people are the people who carry the hoe, and the people who put down the hoe are bandits. If you take a firewood knife, you dare to rob, and if you don't have a firewood knife, you hide behind a tree in the corner and beat the stick......"
Ogawa smiled, more ugly than crying.
"What about my city?" Xiao Chuan asked with a little luck in his heart.
"It's a 'big city', isn't it?...... There are about 24,000 of them, mainly living on the garrison of Qingping County, and there are ...... Robbing past merchants......" Liang Zhen's smile was a little weird.
"In other words, I, a noble noble lord, am about to become a bandit leader!" Xiao Chuan was already crying without tears.
"No, if you want to be the leader of these bandits, you have to be able to stop them first......
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor has given me a bandit leader, and I have to fight to become their leader myself!
"Of course, it's not that there are no benefits at all, there is a lot of land under the rule of Xiliu City, and the radius is 11,000 miles......
"Shhh
"However, the land is relatively barren, and the existing fields are only more than 6,000 acres, which are completely dependent on the sky for food, and if the harvest is good, the grain yield per mu is only more than 200 catties...... of course, such a good year, it would be good to have a year every five years" I don't know if Liang Zhen really simply stated the facts, or he could hit Xiaochuan, and the words he said were like knives, stabbing Xiaochuan in the heart one by one.
"How do they live in a good year?"
"Robbery ......" Seeing the strange expression on Liang Zhen's face, Xiaochuan reacted suddenly and said weakly.
"Of course, this is all the previous situation......" Liang Zhen sighed, a thoughtful look on his face.
"It's worse now?" It's a mess anyway, and Ogawa doesn't mind if it's going to get worse.
"It can be said that it can be said that it is not!" Liang Zhen no longer sold Guanzi, muttered slightly, and continued: "There is a mineral vein near Xiliu City, which was originally mined by others, but it was not taken seriously, although it increased some income for the local area, it was better than nothing...... However, recently, some cultivators recognized this ore, which is said to be the material for arranging the teleportation array, so the value of this place has doubled...... As a result, the friction between the Great Han Kingdom and the Izumo Empire gradually intensified......"
"You mean...... It's both a crisis and an excellent opportunity......" Ogawa's eyes sparkled.
Liang Zhen nodded slightly, with a faint expectation in his eyes.
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor gave me this place as a fief...... This is to use me as a sword! With cultivators involved, I will stop it! The contradiction between the Great Han Kingdom and the Izumo Empire has become a contradiction between me and the Izumo Empire. If I lose, the Great Han Kingdom will continue to wrestle with the Izumo Empire, and if I win, His Majesty the Holy Emperor will sit back and enjoy the success. His Majesty the Holy Emperor is sinister enough to ......" Xiao Chuan blinked a pair of small eyes, analyzing the intentions of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
"You are wrong about one thing! His Majesty the Holy Emperor should be optimistic about you!" Liang Zhen corrected Xiao Chuan's statement.
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor is using you, that's true, but it just shows that he values you very much!"
"Optimistic about a seventeen-year-old hairy boy, should actually be fourteen years old?" the suspicion on Ogawa's face was undisguised.
"Don't forget, when His Majesty the Holy Emperor is in power, he is only fourteen years ......old," Liang Zhen showed a look of reminiscence, and his appreciation was overflowing.
"What should I do?" Xiao Chuan was silent for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Liang Zhen.
"Do what you think, don't let my experience tie your hands and feet......" Liang Zhen closed his eyes and lay on the rocking chair very comfortably, his head still shaking gently, and his mouth seemed to be humming a little song.
Seeing that Liang Zhen seemed drowsy, Xiao Chuan slowly exited the room lightly.
"You can pick ten competent people from your family, and the rest...... It's up to you......" Liang Zhen didn't open his eyes.
"I need two people who can take care of accounts, two people who know some martial arts, and two people who love to chew the root of their tongue...... And give me Liang An and Liang Xing, and I'll bring Xiu'er and Ling'er again......" Xiao Chuan knocked his head and said after thinking about it.
Liang Zhen lay on the rocking chair for a moment, opened his eyes and asked, "I understand the rest, but what do you want Liang An and Liang Xing, and the two who love to chew the root of their tongues?"
"Liang An and Liang Xing have offended me, and the sixth grandfather is just taking advantage of them, and he doesn't care about their life or death at all. Therefore, it is already difficult for the two of them to gain a foothold in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I took them away, and you said that they didn't hug my thighs right away, although it was useless, but at least they were afraid of me, and there was only a way out if they were effectively loyal to me. Xiao Chuan said this, and looked at Liang Zhen's face.
Then he said with a strange face: "Usually people who like to chew the root of their tongue can't keep secrets, and they love to spy on other people's secrets." Although I say a lot of things with a lot of moisture, but with such a-stirring stick, I'm not afraid that the people around me will dare to deceive me......"
"Bastard boy, I've learned a belly of crooked ways, get out!" Liang Zhen listened to Xiaochuan's explanation, and his face turned dark.
Xiao Chuan quickly turned around and ran.
"I'll send someone to arrange it for you......" Liang Zhen's helpless voice came from behind him, and he seemed to have some appreciation after listening carefully, and Xiao Chuan didn't know if it was his own delusion......
