Fortunately, Dai Qin and Ma Degui are not ordinary people, and after an appointment between the two sides, they agreed to bypass the Great Wall, go north along the Yellow River, pass through Pingluo, and make a detour to each other.

Although the road is rugged and bumpy, and it is a lot farther away, at least there are not many people, so there is no need to worry too much about the safety of the caravan, this is the first encounter!

The second time, it was the eunuch Gao Rou who came to the Tumochuan camp in the name of the Hetao General's Mansion Supervisor.

At his request, since the Hetao has been subordinated to the Ming Dynasty, he must build a city to use it as the center of the Hetao, and by the way, also move the northern border of the Ming Dynasty to the north.

You must know that this Hetao grassland is a plain, although it is rich in products, but the foundation is extremely weak.

Even a humble camp like Tumochuan took a long time to form.

Now that the city is going to be built directly, the reason for Gao Rou is so high-sounding, although Jiang Yunsong, Dai Qin and others hate it, they can only find a way to do it.

Fortunately, Gao Rou didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and ignored the time limit for this construction period, so after Jiang Yunsong and the others summed it up, they were ready to build a small town first.

In this way, it can not only cope with Gao Rou, but also use the least amount of forced labor, so that the people's power of the Hetao will not be excessively abused.

After Gao Rou discovered the countermeasures of the Hetao, although he asked several times to build this city larger, he was also prevaricated back by the different Central Plains north of Jiang Yunsong.

If one plan failed, Gao Rou gave birth to a second plan.

After visiting the folk of the Hetao, he found the love of the herdsmen of the Hetao for Zilong, and he opened and closed his mouth, all of which sang praises to Zilong.

Therefore, it was proposed that the imperial court build a Hetao General Mansion to provide Zilong, the Hetao General, with residence and office.

His suggestion was naturally approved by the imperial court.

The Imperial Court ordered the Ministry of Engineering to draw up the drawings, and the scale was extremely large, and it was necessary to build this side of the Hetao as soon as possible.

Although Jiang Yunsong and others knew that Gao Rou was preparing to abuse the power of the people of the Hetao to force the people of the Hetao to be dissatisfied with Zilong and the officials of the Hetao General Mansion under his command.

But because the people of Hetao knew that this was to repair a house for Zilong, their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, so they could only agree.

At this time, Dai Qin had already been assassinated, so he had to send six overseers.

The people have long discussed that the construction of this Hetao Staffing General's Mansion will not only not abuse the people's power, but also make the Hetao's surplus people's power so that when the Hetao Counselor's Mansion is built this time, they will be paid according to their work, so that the people can get some benefits.

After this countermeasure came out, the people of Hetao supported the Hetao General's Mansion from the bottom of their hearts, and they all supported the old and the young, and rushed to build the Hetao General's Mansion.

When Zilong heard this, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he nodded and praised: "Brother Jiang, Dai Qin, you have done a very good job! I, Xu Zilong, have never thought that I am the new master of the grassland! I am here, one is to take everyone and have a place to stay, and the other is to benefit the people of Hetao as much as possible and improve their lives, but in the end, I have a little selfishness, hoping that with the help of Hetao and everyone's strength, I can fulfill my wish!

When I was in the Tumochuan camp, I saw the magnificent Hetao General Mansion, and I kept muttering in my heart, worried that everyone would slowly change to the Heavenly King Sect because of their sudden ascension to a high position!

Now it seems that I just think too much! You are doing better than me!

On behalf of the people of Hetao, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you!"

After finishing speaking, Zilong really stood up and saluted a few people.

Jiang Yunsong and the others naturally didn't want to accept Zilong's thank you in vain, so they all stood up and turned sideways.

Seeing this, Zilong didn't force it, and after saluting, he said: "But I want to put forward my own opinion on the matter of the Hetao General's Mansion!"

"My lord, please speak!" Jiang Yunsong and the three of them all said solemnly.

"This so-called Hetao General Mansion can't be built with reference to Gao Rou's drawings!" Zilong said categorically.

"Ah, how is this possible!" Dai Qin's face changed, and he said in horror, "This drawing is not Gao Rou's, but the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court itself drew it! It was approved by the cabinet, the celebrant supervisor, and even the emperor! If we change it at will, this Gao Rou will sue the imperial court, and I am afraid that our general's mansion will be wiped out!"

Dai Qin himself was a Mongol, but he was once a merchant sent by the Heavenly King, and in the repeated trade with the Ming Dynasty, he also became extremely in awe of the Ming court.

I know that although the Ming Dynasty has had the tragedy of the battle of Tumubao, after all, it is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen!

In addition, now that Hetao is nominally subordinate to the Ming court, if he openly violates the orders of the court, he is afraid that the imperial army will arrive immediately, and everything will be turned into powder.

Zilong also knew what Dai Qin was thinking, and immediately just smiled faintly: "Dai Qin, you don't have to worry!

"Okay!" Although Dai Qin's face was a little unpleasant, but Zilong was so calm, he gradually regained the demeanor of a wise man, and even sat down and waited for Zilong's explanation.

"Actually, my idea is very simple!" Zilong said confidently, "Everyone knows the purpose of my visit to Hetao this time, right?"

"I know! We must gather the Hetao army and go south to fight against Liu Jin's chaotic government together with King An!" Jiang Yunsong said without any scruples! Anyway, this is the most heavily guarded Black Stone Cliff in the Hetao, and this is the most heavily guarded place in the Black Stone Cliff.

No matter how psychic Liu Jin's people are, Jiang Yunsong is confident that as long as he doesn't come in person, no one can sneak here quietly!

"That's right! I'm here to take the big guys to the capital together and overthrow Liu Jin's power!" Zilong also said angrily, "Therefore, in a few months at most, we will have to fully confront Liu Jin! What do you think is the point of us still abiding by Liu Jin's chaotic orders at this time!"

"My lord, this ......" Dai Qin was about to say more.

Zilong just raised his hand and continued: "Actually, what I want to do is not to start a full-scale war with Liu Jin now! Since this Hetao General's Mansion was built by the people of Hetao, how can it be used by our public and private use, and directly diverted it for our own use?

Even if we pay the people a certain amount of money in the process of construction, this will not work!

Therefore, I suggest that this Hetao Senjiangfu be converted into a trade bazaar and built! After it is completed, it will be the trading center of our Hetao, and all the trade that comes to the Hetao will first pass through it!

In this way, the facilities built are beneficial to the people, and I can feel a little more at ease.

And the people of the Hetao can continue to follow us with peace of mind.

As for the drawings of the imperial court, we can continue to build according to those drawings on the surface, but in fact, they are built according to the bazaar!

I don't believe it, so would Gao Rou always send people to spy on you? Or you, Liuzi, can't even send one or two people to watch?"

In the end, Zilong looked at Liuzi with a playful face, and the smile on his face was also quite interesting.

When the sixth son heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Since the lord believes in the sixth son, then leave this matter to my sixth son! I will definitely do my best to build the best market for the lord and the people of Hetao!"

The matter of turning the Hetao Senate into a bazaar was decided.

Although in the hearts of Jiang Yunsong and Dai Qin, this Hetao General's Mansion is far more important than a bazaar, which is why they know that this is a trap set by Liu Jin, but they just want to make the Hetao excessively levy people's power and make the current Hetao General's Mansion lose the support of the people, but they still want to build the Hetao General's Mansion.

After all, in their hearts, the Hetao General's Mansion symbolizes their right to rule the Hetao, and their leader Zilong also has a formal home, and their own sense of belonging to the Hetao General's Mansion is also stronger.

It's just that since Zilong wants to change it to a bazaar, the reason is not bad, and they can't object.

Zilong also saw the thoughts of these henchmen, and immediately said: "Actually, who said that we don't have the Hetao General's Mansion? The Black Stone Cliff is a very good place, although this is a military camp, but the Tianwang faction has built it very well, and it can be used for us as the General's Mansion!"

"But this black stone cliff hangs alone on the Daqing Mountain, too far away from the people of the Hetao, I am afraid that it will be ......inconvenient" Dai Qin does have a deep understanding of civil affairs, and knows the disadvantages of this Hetao General Mansion if it is really set up on the Daqing Mountain.

"Then let's directly find a small place in Tumochuan Town and set up a yamen! The staff general's mansion and everyone else, except for Brother Jiang, will go there to work! Won't this be solved?" Zilong added with a smile.

"That's ......" Dai Qin was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "My lord is really thoughtful, Dai admires it!"

"Well, now that the problem of the General's Mansion has been solved, are there any other problems besides the border troops on the border and the increasingly rampant assassinations?"

"There really are two things!" Jiang Yunsong nodded and said, "Just now, my brother came to report that there are two tribes that have been attacked by sand thieves and have suffered heavy losses!

"Sand thieves?" Zilong raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "It's just spring, and the sand bandits are rampant? And haven't I heard that most of these sand thieves are raised by various tribes to plunder caravans and small tribes, why are even the tribes themselves looting now?"

"The brothers' reports are also incomplete, they only said so much, and the specific information can only be checked on the spot!" Jiang Yunsong spread his hands and said with a wry smile.

"Look at what you mean, is there not enough manpower?" Zilong saw that Jiang Yunsong had something to say, and immediately asked.

"I know that I can't hide it from my lords, and now I can lead the troops to fight here, there are only a few people, and none of them can command large-scale battles! But those sand thieves are cruel and cunning, I am afraid that these people will go, and they will not be able to deal with it! I can handle one of these two places myself, but there is only one left......" Jiang Yunsong looked at Zilong with blazing eyes, but he didn't say anything, but the meaning of those words was understandable to several people present.
