When he entered Lingyan County, Yan Lai knew why Zhao Jingou was so enthusiastic along the way, and hugged himself everywhere to talk about Jiangnan customs, it turned out that he wanted to treat him as a wronged leader. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you want to go to someone else's birthday banquet, you can't be empty-handed, Zhao Jingou means that after all, you are not on the invitation list, and it is not strange that you can do more - in this way, he Zhao Jingou will lead the team, and it will be more face-saving.

In the face of a dazzling array of groceries, Yan Lai couldn't cry or laugh, but Zhao Jingou looked right, after choosing the ordinary birthday gift, he took him to pick out some pills, coupled with the exaggerated packaging, he actually needed to hire two carriages, one for gifts, and one for people, which was really swaggering.

Xiao Fang was still silent along the way, but Weiyang occasionally picked up a few words, perhaps because he acted too much like an arrogant son of a family, so that Zhao Jingou, who was sitting opposite, would show a serious face whenever he interjected, like a good boy who listened humbly.

Yan Lai understands that this guy is really poor and short-minded, and it is estimated that there will be a time to speak.

If you want to blame them, they came out this time, dressed too much like a stupid foreigner with a lot of money, but they still like to join in this kind of excitement, just like going to travel, and it is strange not to be slaughtered by the locals.

Clearly, Yan Lai just thought it was funny, in fact, following people like Zhao Jingou to wander around, it was indeed possible to participate in a lot of gatherings of the three sects and nine streams, which was also close to their purpose of coming here this time.

As for some yellow and white things, and the informant fee, anyway, the budget of the warden department is large, so there is no need to use it in vain.

The so-called Jiangbei area, refers to the Lingzhou ground separated by a river from Jiangning City, according to the division is under the jurisdiction of Jiangning County, but because it is adjacent to Yangzhou County Government of Huainan Road, both dialects and customs are not like Jiangning, over time, whether it is a local or an outsider, they are accustomed to Jiangbei as a representative, which is a kind of regional characteristics.

There are seven counties under Lingzhou, covering an area of 600 li, of which five are in the upper county and two are in the middle county.

The waterways of Jiangbei are dense like spider webs, and the forces on them are not sects, but various large and small families with Zhuang as the unit, also known as Wuzhuang, with more than 100 families.

Among them, the ten most powerful ones, except for Xuejiazhuang, which is the head of a hundred villages, is monopolized in Lingyan County, and the remaining nine are centered on the remaining six counties, as for other large and small martial arts, although they are also attached to seven counties, they can basically only be headed by Xue and other ten, especially in the Wuzhuang that has taken root near the three upper counties, but there is an order, do not dare to disobey.

The Xue family was able to monopolize Lingyan County, which had the best location and the best economy among the five upper counties, which shows how high its status is in the entire Jiangbei.

Because of the geographical and environmental problems of Jiangbei, a large block of land is occupied by the county, and the remaining fragments are the habitat of each Wuzhuang, after all, the waterway is convenient, whether it is to and from the county seat or other Wuzhuang, it does not take too much time, and two days can go back and forth to the two Wuzhuang in Jiangbei where the ground is farthest apart, so it does not live in the county, and the impact is not great, not to mention the land occupied by the village, which is not only more conducive to the development of the family, but also good to manage their own spiritual fields.

The reason why Jiangbei is famous is because of Lingtian.

The spiritual field on the ground of Lingzhou is the most dense one in the southeast Sanzhou Road, and there is also a very important feature, that is, the speed of spiritual energy recovery is extremely fast, basically not dry, and the yield is high.

Therefore, how could such a treasure not be attracted?

Disputes.

When the Xue family was there, there were often cases of grabbing land between the villages, but even in the heyday of the Xue family, they did not completely include all this blessed land, firstly, because of the imperial court, and secondly, because the strength of other martial arts was not bad.

Over the past few hundred years, Jiangbei has already formed a set of its own survival rules, fighting for land and profit, each by means, the losing side, if the younger generations have the ability, they have a chance to regain it, as for the winning side, if you can't hold your territory, then you should also decline.

And since the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty, since the formation of the pattern, there has never been a matter of annihilation in the Jiangbei area, even if the villages fight to the death, at the critical moment, there are always other Wuzhuang to intervene, which is why it is difficult for other foreign forces to interfere in Jiangbei, although these Wuzhuang internal fighting is ruthless, but the external is extremely united, if you really want to be airborne, either be driven out, or be assimilated, become a part of Wuzhuang.

It is precisely because of this that Qingfeng Mountain will only send one disciple of Zhao Jingou to explore the way.

Naturally, I also hope to be able to share a benefit, even if it is only for a short period of three or five months, or a year or two to be kicked out, anyway, everyone who comes to help knows how much profit they can take.

Second, because Nanjianmen was going to cross the river, it gave many forces the opportunity to wait and see.

Now that the Xue clan has retreated, the entire surrounding area of Lingyan County is equivalent to being completely empty, even if the imperial court wants to take over, it is not a matter that can be successful in three or five years, and in this situation, as long as I occupy the foothold, it is not good for you to dig it up completely, and in the end it is to enter the negotiation process, anyway, everyone knows the interest, very much, more than seven or eight points, less than four or five six, there is always a cheap advantage.

Now is the best time, Nanjianmen wants to intervene in the past, the chaos in Jiangbei has appeared, taking Qingfeng Mountain as an example, it is natural to want to occupy a name in Jiangbei through Liujiazhuang, and then it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, or to fish in troubled waters, it depends on the development of the situation.

For other foreign forces, the most favorable situation is Nanjianmen, Jiangbei Baizhuang and the imperial court fight to a stalemate, then they can swing around, three parties bet, seek the desired benefits.

Jiangbei, which is missing one Xue clan, is equivalent to being cut off a table leg, and is leaning towards collapse, if you want to blame the Xue clan for developing too strong in the past few hundred years, Jiangbei is very powerful, it has a monopoly of three points, and now it is suddenly empty, and the balance will definitely be broken.

In Yan Laituo Chen Er's report to Mo Beiting, he planned to take the game of Jiangbei in three steps.

The first step is to connive at and add fuel to the chaos here, consume the vitality of the first-rate forces, and let more second- and third-rate, and even third- and fourth-rate forces participate, so as to make the chaos even more chaotic.

The second step is to break the pattern of the entire Jiangbei, reshuffle the cards, empty the interests nakedly, and enter the wealthy family.

The third step is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and when everyone has their eyes on Jiangbei, it is time to tinker with Jiangnan State Road.

The plan is like this, the specific implementation process will definitely be different, and there will even be unexpected evolution, but no matter how it develops, at present, Jiangbei is indeed an important chess piece of the imperial court through the southern martial arts, a strategic place, if it is managed well, the hand of Daming Palace can not only reach in, even if it is arbitrary, it is not impossible.

Yan Lai knew very well that it was the Daming Palace, not the imperial court, nor the imperial power of the Liu family, but the woman named Lonely Jiaye.

"Brother Ning, Brother Ning, what are you thinking?"

Zhao Jingou called him twice, and Yan Lai realized that he was calling himself, almost forgetting that he was Ning Caichen's identity now.

"Let Brother Zhao smile, some family matters, very annoying. ”

"It seems that Brother Ning is out to relax. ”

"Hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the ground in Lingnan is not like Jiangnan, as long as you are willing to fight, you will have a chance, if Ning is not from everyone, I am afraid that it is no different from the wild dogs on the roadside, but despite this, it is just standing like a human and lying on his stomach like an animal. ”

"Brother Ning's words are quite resentful. Zhao Jingou smiled slightly.

Yan Lai shook his head and sighed: "Who let him be a concubine, no matter how he arranges it, he didn't have it, hehe, he lost his words again." ”

Zhao Jingou had a disapproving attitude: "Brother Ning doesn't have to scruple, Zhao is not an uninteresting person, looking at the meaning of brothers, don't you want to start a family business in Jiangnan?"

Yan Lai hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, Ning does have a thought, this time the two brothers came together, just to share the industry in Jiangnan, and not to hide it from Brother Zhao, now in this Jiangnan area, I am afraid that Jiangbei has the most opportunities." ”

Zhao Jingou laughed: "Brother Ning doesn't say that Zhao also knows, not to mention that this is a man's ambition, my generation of people in the rivers and lakes, no one wants to be nameless, but my brother has a sentence I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Again.

Yan Lai almost wanted to throw him a big eye, but he still showed a deferential look.

Zhao felt that it would be difficult to fight the autumn wind with only three people, let alone a foothold in Jiangbei. Zhao Jingou also said politely: "Don't misunderstand, Zhao is not referring to martial arts and money, just because the pattern of Jiangbei has always been complicated, and the forces of all parties are difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, in this case, it is difficult to seek a foothold with only personal strength." ”

Yan Lai immediately saluted: "Brother Jingou taught me." ”

Zhao Jingou smiled: "Brother Ning has been raised, Zhao doesn't have such great ability, but..."

Seeing that he intended to show off, Yan Lai privately pinched Weiyang who was sitting in the carriage together, and sure enough, after the latter showed a look of interest, Zhao Jingou said: "Zhao really has nothing to teach the three of them, because Zhao wants to cooperate." ”
