"West?"

Chen Sheng smoothed his hair upwards from his forehead and secretly took stock with his brows furrowed: "Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is located in a corner and it is difficult to become a great weapon."

"When Lu Zheng of Yongzhou returned to the sea, whether he raised troops to serve the king or established himself as king, he was not afraid of being taken advantage of by the barbarians."

'North?'

'The Youzhou Army has been guarding Northern Xinjiang for more than two hundred years without making any mistakes. Even without the support of the Kyushu Formation now, it will not be broken by the Dog Rong in three or two years.'

'Bingzhou, on the other hand, is already a bitter and cold place on the frontier. Not long ago, the Zhou Dynasty took away 50,000 armored men. It is empty inside, but there may be problems...Bingzhou is a temporary note!'

The huge amount of thinking gave Chen Sheng a headache and rubbed his eyebrows, 'As for the south...'

'Although the current situation of the Bolang Army is a bit embarrassing, it is far from reaching the end of the road. Even if my red-coated army does not come in to help, it is not unusual to remain in a stalemate with the Baiyue barbarians for three or two years.'

‘The three directions of southwest, north and south are relatively stable, so that’s the east!”

"To the east...Fuso, Japan, Izumo, Goguryeo?"

Chen Sheng thought of something bad and frowned tightly again, with a faint evil light flashing in his eyes.

But soon he raised his eyebrows in confusion and raised his eyebrows slightly... Not to mention whether the villagers in these small countries and islands have the ability to cross mountains and ridges and travel across the ocean to Kyushu.

Even if they can come, the current Kyushu is not the cowardly and incompetent late Qing Dynasty. A man or a dog can come and harvest a handful of wool!

The current military strength of the Nine Provinces human race is only stronger than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty when its national power was at its peak!

In the absence of an epoch-making battle method to widen the gap in military strength, if those small and small countries dare to come, no matter who comes from the Zhou Dynasty, Taiping Road, and the Han Dynasty, they can beat these small and small countries in minutes and even their mothers will not recognize them!

"So, foreign aggression is still concentrated in the north and south."

"Except for external troubles, only internal worries remain!"

"Resurgence of demons, floods, earthquakes, plagues..."

This time, Chen Sheng thought for a long time.

Until Chen Qi returned to guard the Yamen, he did not relax his brows.

"I will finally see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

Chen Qi meticulously pressed his palms together and bowed to the end, shouting respectfully.

Chen Sheng came back to his senses, glanced at Chen Qi who was holding his hands in the empty room, stood up and walked down the steps with a smile, and helped him up with his own hands: "Uncle Qi, do you have time to accompany your nephew out for a walk? I have been here so many times.

, I always come and go in a hurry, but I never take a good look at Anyi City!"

The shout of Uncle Qi made Chen Qi's face change drastically, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, with a light on his back, but he did not dare to interrupt Chen Sheng's words. It was not until Chen Sheng finished speaking that he hurriedly took two steps back, clenched his palms again and said, "Your Majesty,

The courtesy between an uncle and a nephew is not as great as the courtesy between a king and his ministers. Your Majesty, you must not mess with Gang Chang..."

Chen Sheng stepped forward with a chuckle and helped him up again, "Our family has passed the stage where etiquette is needed to determine the king and his ministers. Whether you call me your king or not will not change the fact that I am the King of Han. I will call you or not."

Uncle Seventh, it also does not change the fact that you are my Uncle Seventh."

Chen Qi raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to say more, but Chen Sheng had already taken the initiative and said with a smile: "Okay, don't argue with me, there are only two of my nephews here, and I have never worn a royal robe, so I will divide the king and ministers among them.

See? Or, just because I became the King of Han, you are not prepared to recognize me as your eldest nephew? What, you are still prepared to let me be a loner? "

Chen Qi stubbornly opened his mouth to refute him, but before he could say anything, he saw Chen Sheng's face darkened like a child's anger. She sighed helplessly, then patted his arm, laughing and scolding: "You bastard."

Damn, fight with your father, wait, Uncle Qi will go find some clothes for you!"

Chen Sheng laughed happily.

…

"That side is the grain market. In the past, grain merchants from Jiangdong and the north used to deliver grain here. At its peak, the grain delivered here could reach 500,000 to 600,000 dan in a day... It's a pity that now there is a grain shortage in all states.

If there is no fire, this valley market will be ruined."

"This is Ji's Mansion. Well, it's the former Yuzhou Mu Jisheng's mansion that I mentioned to you before. Do you want to go in and have a look? Uncle Qi has been keeping it sealed for you. Now you nod. Uncle Qi will order this place tonight."

I'm going to build this mansion and keep it where you can live comfortably..."

The uncle and nephew wore thick and simple linen clothes and walked leisurely on the streets of Anyi under the snowflakes like fine salt.

As Chen Qi walked, he lowered his voice and introduced the layout of Anyi City to Chen Sheng.

While Chen Sheng listened, he kept looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

More than a dozen disguised military masters hid their short blades under their thick clothes and were scattered far around the uncle and nephew. Mingsong secretly stared at everyone coming and going on the street with his peripheral vision.

A pedestrian.

Chen Sheng could see that it rarely snowed in Anyi City.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many children running around cheering in the snow, looking like they have never seen the world.

The children in Chen County were very excited when they saw the snow last year. After being frozen for a year, they were much calmer when they saw the snow again this year.

And from what he could see, the lives of the people in Anyi were much worse than the lives of the people in Chen County now.

He had just counted that out of every ten people he saw on the street, there were two wearing straw sandals, one wearing single clothes, and one being a beggar.

Of course, this questionnaire is definitely not objective. After all, those who are still running around in the snow already illustrate their class.

The chance of finding a miserable person among the people at the lowest level of society is of course many times higher than the chance of finding a miserable person among all the common people!

But this still explains the problem enough.

Because of this kind of random questionnaire, Chen Sheng also did it in Chen County, and the situation was many, many times better!

Anyi is the administrative seat of Yuzhou, which is equivalent to the capital city of Yuzhou!

Even the people of Anyi were living in such embarrassment.

How can people in other places get better off?

"Snapped!"

Just when Chen Sheng was thinking about something with a heavy heart, a clay pot suddenly flew out from the second-floor window of the building on his right and fell on the ground about a foot or so in front of him. The exploding liquid not only splashed

It hit him all over, and even splashed a drop or two on his face, which was warm.

In an instant, the aroma of wine overflowed...

When the guards walking around saw this, their expressions changed drastically. They didn't even have time to take out the daggers in their arms and ran towards Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng raised his hand over his shoulder without even raising his head, and waved casually, signaling the guards not to be nervous and scare passers-by.

He looked at the broken wine bottle in front of him, then turned to look at the rare two-story restaurant on the right, and calmed down to listen to the loud words coming from the second floor.

After several breaths, he turned back to look at the dark-faced Chen Qi next to him: "Uncle Qi, didn't I issue a ban on brewing and selling liquor? Why are there still people selling liquor on the market?"

When Chen Qi heard this, he immediately thought of the person in charge of this matter. He didn't say much at the moment, but nodded solemnly and said: "I'll check it out later, and Uncle Qi will give you an explanation."

He knew that Chen Sheng stopped the guards from interfering because he did not want them to disturb the interest of his uncle and nephew. At the same time, he was willing to expose his identity so that he would not be able to hang around again in the future, so he said this.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen Sheng just nodded lightly and said, "Remember to act in accordance with the law." Then he walked straight forward on the broken pottery on the ground, without any anger or anger on his face.

Go upstairs and pretend to be a dick with the drunk men upstairs.

But just as he stepped over the broken pottery pot, he heard a loud voice shouting from upstairs: "That kid wants to lure us into a snipe and clam fight. He is reaping the benefits of the fishermen. We are not as good as him."

meaning".

When Chen Sheng heard this, he suddenly stopped in his steps and showed an unknown smile on his face.

Although the person who spoke upstairs did not mention his name, how could Chen Sheng not recognize who he was talking about and what he was talking about?

He listened quietly, and Chen Qi and others stood with him in the snow.

"May I ask Brother Yang if you have any advice?"

“Brother Li, haven’t you ever read the Preface to the Collection of Kuaiji?”

"Ah? Could it be said that the great sages of the various sects discussed this matter at the 'Kuiji Assembly'?"

"No, no, it's not because the great sages discussed this matter at the Kuaiji gathering, but because of this matter, this Kuaiji gathering took place!"

"I see. Brother Yang, please tell me quickly!"

"Yes, yes, brother Yang, please clear up our confusion!"

"Hahaha, it's easy to explain things, but this wine..."

"It's a trivial matter. There are still hundreds of jars of old cellars at my brother's house. Brother Yang, come quickly and tell me that we have enough wine!"

"Ah? Brother Liu, is this an old cellar? How can I, the younger brother, feel that it is this year's new wine when he drinks it?"

"Shh..."

"Shh..."

"Brother Qin, you've eaten too much and your sense of taste has been affected!"

"Come, come, brother Qin, drink this cup again!"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng turned his head and glanced at Chen Qi with a half-smile: Do you know where the wine comes from this time?

Chen Qi also sneered and gave him a "reassured" look: Have you forgotten your uncle Qi's housekeeping skills?

"Brother Qin eats his, Brother Yang and we talk about ours..."
