Although Yan Xuanming knew that he had such an uncle in Tianlang Mountain, he had never met him. He smiled and said, "I would like to get to know him if I have the chance."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Wuxing County has developed well under your governance. Xuanming, I really saw you right."
Yan Xuanming said: "My lord has so much trust in Xuan Ming that he handed over the important town of Wuxing to Xuan Ming. Naturally, Xuan Ming will do his best and never let down my lord's great trust in me."
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Yan Xuanming said: "My lord, with the current development of Wuxing County, the port can no longer carry both military and civilian tasks. According to Xuanming's opinion, Wuxing County should be expanded eastward and the wharf in Haiyan Town near the sea should be expanded on a large scale to ease Wuxing County's
The pressure on the port, and the biggest advantage of doing this is that in the future, foreign merchant ships will not have to enter the Yongjiang inland river, and trade can be completed at the mouth of the sea."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It's a good thing. Since you think it's feasible, do it as soon as possible. I will give you the greatest support in terms of material, financial and human resources."
Yan Xuanming smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord."
Li Yongfu also came to meet him at this time. After Zhao Wusheng returned, his responsibilities had been transferred from the Yongjiang Navy to the training of the Yunze New Army. Then Zhao Wusheng's topic just now brought up the Wangchun River water thieves. In his opinion, this
The matter should be related to Guo Guangbi of Xingzhou. This autumn, most areas in the Central Plains have had a bumper harvest. However, things are different in Xingzhou. Because they kept burning, killing, looting, and had no intention of farming, they have forced the surrounding people away, and the fertile fields have become deserted.
The surrounding areas are deserted, and they finally taste the evil consequences they have sown. The current plan is that if those people in Xingzhou want to survive, they must continue to rob, which creates a vicious circle. In recent times, they have attacked everywhere, regardless of the target.
A random robbery has already caused a lot of anger and resentment.
Li Yongfu said angrily: "The cancer like Guo Guangbi in Xingzhou must be eliminated as soon as possible. If they are allowed to continue to be so rampant, they will not only harm the people, but also make the neighbors uneasy."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "The thieves in Xingzhou are indeed without morals, but we currently have no definite evidence to prove it. They must have done it. Wu Sheng also told me about this just now. I will let you
He went to contact Su Yuchi and met with him recently to discuss the matter."
Li Yongfu said: "My lord, Su Yuchi has recently received a lot of reinforcements from the Dakang court. It is said that Princess Yongyang of Dakang personally summoned him and has great trust in him. Now his strength has more than doubled compared to the beginning of the year. I think this
People should not be underestimated. If he is allowed to develop, he will definitely become a serious problem for the lord in the future." In Li Yongfu's view, Su Yuchi is obviously a greater threat than Xingzhou Guo Guangbi. The former is a regular army, while the latter is a guerrilla.
The combat effectiveness of the two is naturally incomparable.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You have to eat the steamed buns one bite at a time. We can't make too many enemies."
Li Yongfu nodded and said: "I always feel that Su Yuchi is not active in eliminating water bandits. We have also sent people to discuss with them before. After all, half of the Wangchun River is currently under their control, and the Xuanyong River is more
They are all within his control. If the two sides cooperate to seduce the bandits, even if they cannot completely prevent it, they can reduce the possibility of this happening to the minimum."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Su Yuchi cooperated with us in the past because he wanted to ensure a bumper harvest. Now that he has established a firm foothold in Yunyang, he naturally does not need to look at us anymore. What's more, he has the support of the Dakang court behind him.
He is a loyal minister. We are rebellious ministers. It is not a bad thing that he has not broken out with us and become incompatible."
Li Yongfu also reported on the training of Yunze navy and the reconstruction of Bixinshanshui village. Overall, everything is progressing smoothly.
That night, Hu Xiaotian held a banquet and entertained the generals and officials who came to Dongliang County for a meeting. Everyone drank and drank, and Hu Xiaotian also drank a lot. When he was half drunk, Huo Shengnan came to him and whispered: "
Someone is coming from Xingzhou."
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled: "Where?"
"Guo Guangbi of Xingzhou sent an envoy. He just arrived. He said he had something urgent to ask to see the lord."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. He had just talked about the trouble caused by water thieves in Wangchun River, and the envoy from Xingzhou had arrived.
Huo Shengnan said: "See you?"
"who?"
"Xie Jian, the most intelligent general under Guo Guangbi."
Hu Xiaotian had met Xie Jian before, last time in Heisha. Xie Jian, known as the demon star, accompanied Guo Guangbi's son Guo Shaoxiong to Heisha to discuss important matters. However, they later broke up on bad terms, and the Xuanyong River burst its banks.
The four-party peace talks they originally prepared fell into disarray.
Xie Jian, wearing a gray scholar's shirt that was not old and new, entered the living room accompanied by Li Mingcheng. He arrived in the afternoon. Before coming to see Hu Xiaotian, he took time to walk around Dongliang County. He had been to Dongliang County before.
Liang Jun, but this time he came here was very different from the past. He saw that the streets were clean, the market was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were many foreign merchants. He heard people talking on the streets, mostly talking about Hu Xiaotian's benefits, because Hu Xiaotian
Having recently become the consort of Tianxiang Kingdom, the entire Dongliang County is in a state of pride and excitement. If there are no complaints among the people, and if the common people are happy because of the happy event of the superior, then it can be said that this person has basically won.
People's hearts.
Xie Jian had to admit how powerful Hu Xiaotian was. In just a few years, he had managed Dongliang County to such an extent. Of course, it was not just Dongliang County. He also wanted to take time to visit Wuxing County. He heard that the development there was also very rapid.
Yes, the people who had left their homes due to famine in the past began to come back one after another, and more people from Dongliang County returned. Many of them were because Hu Xiaotian came to command Dongliang County and was worried that Dayong would use troops against Dongliang County.
People who were afraid of being affected by the war moved north into the territory of Dayong.
Seeing Dongliang County, I can't help but think of Xingzhou. Guo Guangbi has obviously occupied Xingzhou much longer than Hu Xiaotian, but Guo Guangbi really knows nothing about internal affairs. As early as the beginning of occupying Xingzhou, Xie Jian reminded him more than once
Strengthening internal governance, but Guo Guangbi is not interested in this. The rapid expansion of the rebel forces that keep coming has made Guo Guangbi a little inflated. He is more accustomed to the quick and effective method of plundering money, food and wealth, and has no disdain for the so-called internal affairs.
At first glance, it must be said that robbery was effective in the initial stage, but the longer it went, the greater the disadvantages. Now Xingzhou is like an extremely weak patient, losing too much blood and eager to replenish blood, but in the surrounding area
But I can no longer catch anyone who can replenish my blood.
After the Black Sands Talks, Guo Guangbi actually realized this problem. Unfortunately, it was too late. Internal affairs require more long-term patience than war. It is impossible to change Xingzhou's stretched situation in a short time.
, if a war is launched without sufficient financial resources and materials to support it, the outcome can be imagined. Therefore, for Xingzhou, the situation they are facing is already very urgent, and the only way to change the predicament in a short time is diplomacy.
Hu Xiaotian stood there and looked at Xie Jian with a smile. Xie Jian took two steps quickly, saluted him respectfully and said: "Young envoy Xie Jian comes to see Mr. Hu!" Before Hu Xiaotian broke up with the Dakang court, he could still be called Mr. Hu, but now
Hu Xiaotian has already drawn a clear line with the Dakang court, so it is more appropriate to call him Young Master.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mr. Xie, you must have something important to come here at starry night."
Xie Jian said: "I came here under the great trust of my lord."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Sit inside!"
After the guests and hosts were seated, a servant brought tea. Xie Jian thanked him, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Good tea, the melting snow from Jiyun Mountain in spring, tea before the rain."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Xie is very knowledgeable about tea ceremony!"
Xie Jiandao: "It's not about any research. I just drink more and I will understand a little bit. This Yangchun Xuerong is best brewed with snow water from Jiyun Mountain, and the tea needs to be washed three times. After the water boils, it needs to be left for a while, and
The most important thing is that this tea should not be stored for more than three months."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "I have never been particular about drinking tea. It tastes good to quench my thirst. In such troubled times, being able to fill my belly is already a gift from God."
Xie Jian smiled and said: "The young envoy is bold. I hope the young master will not take offense at the abruptness."
Hu Xiaotian said: "How come? I admire Mr. Xie very much."
Xie Jian said humbly: "You should not take the word admiration seriously." He put down the tea cup in his hand and said respectfully: "To be honest with you, my lord, my master sent me here to discuss the current situation with you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I would like to hear Mr. Xie's advice."
Xie Jian said: "I can't say I have any high opinions. I am here this time. Firstly, I want to congratulate Mr. Hu on the engagement with Princess Yingyue of Tianxiang Kingdom on my lord's behalf. Secondly, I want to congratulate Mr. Hu for conquering Hongmuchuan."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "We can't talk about subjugation. Hongmuchuan is still managed by the Hongyi people themselves. I just helped make some suggestions and signed an alliance with them."
Xie Jiandao: "Xichuan Li Tianheng has just sent an envoy to join us in attacking Yunyang."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said nothing. This kind of thing was not unexpected. He had expected it.
Xie Jiandao: "Actually, the first choice for outflanking Yun Yang should be Young Master Hu."
Hu Xiaotian said: “It seems that Mr.
ah."
Xie Jian nodded and sneered secretly in his heart, Hu Xiaotian is just afraid that you are telling the truth. Since you came to Dongliang County, you have started many wars, but he has to admit that Hu Xiaotian fights every battle.
It's very beautiful. Xie Jian said: "Xichuan's attitude towards us has always been tough in the past, but suddenly the trend has changed. There must be a reason for this."
Hu Xiaotian said: "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
Today is the first day of classes in Luyuan Academy, and Octopus has sent me the first update. I sacrificed my time to write this at the opening ceremony. This attitude towards learning is wrong. I want to deeply reflect on it, but I feel that the opening ceremony is not as important as the readers.
Thumbs up if you think the insured monthly ticket is right! If you give it a thumbs up, I will write about it in the afternoon class! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
