Yao Yun was dealing with complicated government affairs. In the past six months, the focus of Xiguo's work was not to blockade and sanction Xing Tianman, Xing Tianli and his son, but to open up the wilderness and build cities.
The territory allocated to Xi Kingdom is not the richest or the smoothest, but it is connected to the mainland of Xi Kingdom and is considered the most suitable territory for Xi Kingdom.
There are dozens of miles of vast jungles, steep peaks, and mountains. Hundreds of thousands of barbarian tribes and countless ferocious beasts and monsters live in it.
In order to open up this wild land and civilize the barbarian tribes, Yao Yun ordered Bailihuang and Niu Dali to lead their elite troops to open up wasteland and build a city.
Bailihuang's [Phoenix Division] is a fifth-grade elite division with outstanding strength, so he was placed at the forefront, and the city he built was called Kainan City;
Niu Dali's [Sheng Si Tianbing] was slightly weaker, so he cut through the thorns and thorns on the small plain between Kainan City and Chishui City, felled wood and cut rocks, and built a new city named Xinye City.
The two cities of the Xi Kingdom started construction at the same time. However, with the continuous support from the Xi Kingdom headquarters, the construction speed of the two cities was very fast. In just half a year, a majestic border city began to take shape, with towering walls, numerous houses, and majestic
礴, it’s more than a little bit faster than the ordinary Chinese-Tundi clan.
At the moment, the major imperial clans in Middle-earth are still busy building cities, but Kainan City and Xinye City have begun to go out of the city to reclaim wasteland. Small plains among the hills and highlands have been reclaimed into cultivated land, and crops can be cultivated in the next spring.
Among these people who opened up wasteland and cultivated land, there were soldiers who were working in the fields, people who were attracted by the preferential policies of the Xi Kingdom, and of course, more of them were barbarian slaves scattered in the local mountains and fields.
Compared with the previous occupation of the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom by the Xi Kingdom, the Xi Kingdom's policies in the southern barbarian lands were much tougher.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
All barbarian tribes that did not submit to the rule of the Xi Kingdom were exterminated, relegated to slavery, and brought into the city to serve as free labor force.
This is not because Yao Yun changed and became a tyrant, but because he adapted to local conditions.
The Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom were educated by the Xia saints and had basic recognition of the Celestial Dynasty. They just changed the king. The people easily accepted Yao Yun's rule. However, the barbarians from all directions were afraid of power and not moral. If they were treated
They are too good to be tamed, and only kingly power can make the barbarians surrender and willingly accept enlightenment.
For thousands of years, the Xia dynasties have opened up territories and civilized the desert people, and have long found a tried and tested path. Yao Yun naturally followed suit.
After a few years of high-pressure rule, the barbarians were allowed to accept the advanced culture of the Celestial Dynasty. After a few years, the situation stabilized, and some benevolent policies were implemented, with rewards and punishments, opportunities to be demoted to slaves and promoted to civilians, and farmland, etc.
In a few years, when the barbarians got used to it, the Xi Kingdom's dominance would be stable.
Yao Yun carefully read through the memorial presented below, reviewed and stamped it, exchanged discussions with the second elders Wu Tong and Sun Muyue on the side, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time.
When the three of them were handling government affairs, someone outside the palace reported that Mr. Jimo wanted to see him.
Yao Yun was a little surprised as to why Mr. Jimo suddenly paid a visit, but he didn't think much about it and ordered someone to bring him in.
Soon, Mr. Jimo entered the palace, and with him was an old man with gray hair and a childish face. His cultivation was quite good, and he was at the level of a fifth-grade Qi Refiner.
Before anyone could ask questions, Mr. Jimo introduced him first: "Nephew Yao Yun, this is the brave old man of the Xingtian clan. He is here to negotiate peace with us today..."
When Yao Yun heard this, he was surprised at first why Mr. Jimo came hand in hand with the Xingtian clan, but he soon felt relieved. Mr. Jimo always likes to be an "adult" and likes to make decisions for others. This will act as a way for Xi Guo to make peace with the Xingtian clan.
It is not surprising that the middleman.
"Which side of the Xingtian clan are you from?"
Yao Yun did not disgrace Mr. Jimo. People from the Xingtian clan were here, and he was also a little curious about how the Xingtian clan would obey the soft law.
The brave old man of the Xingtian clan flattered him and said: "I'd like to inform you, Marquis Xi, that I came from the Middle Earth and represents the Xingtian clan in the Middle Earth. Speaking of which, our two families have no great enmity. Xing Tianming's death is his own fault. No one else is to blame. Xing Tianman,
Xing Tianli and his two men ignored the overall situation and ambush Xihou, and I, the Xingtian clan, didn’t know about it either, so please ask Xihou for advice!"
Yao Yun smiled noncommittally.
Is it important whether the Xingtian clan knows or not?
Not important at all.
Before that, every move of Xing Tianman and Xing Tianli represented the entire Xing Tian clan.
It is completely forced by the situation to give in now.
Of course, it is more likely that the Xing Tian family was under external pressure, had internal disharmony, and started fighting among themselves. As a result, Xing Tianman, Xing Tianli, and his son were at a disadvantage and lost the support of the Xing Tian family.
"I want to negotiate peace with Gu Gu, but I wonder how sincere you Xingtian clan is?" Yao Yun ordered the waiter to serve tea for the two of them and asked calmly.
The brave old man of the Xingtian clan smiled like a flower, and said cautiously: "Xihou, this matter was caused by Xing Tianman, Xing Tianli and his son. The clan has decided to remove Xing Tianli from the post of commander-in-chief of the pioneers of land reclamation, recall them, and let them
Go back to the ancestral land of the Xingtian clan and be imprisoned for a hundred years. I wonder if Marquis Xi is satisfied?"
When Yao Yun, Second Elder Wu Tong, and Sun Muyue heard this, they all showed satisfied smiles on their faces. They finally made the iron-hearted Xingtian clan relent. The blockade and sanctions for the past half year were not in vain.
Of course, Yao Yun did not agree immediately. Xiguo had previously made harsh words to expel the Xingtian clan's land reclamation army from the Southern Wilderness. Expelling Xing Tianman, Xing Tianli and his son alone was not enough!
At that moment, Yao Yun said: "What does Mr. Yong mean, is your Xingtian clan planning to remove Xingtianli and re-cultivate the most talented people in the clan?"
Yonglao nodded without thinking, "Exactly, Xing Tianli ignored the overall situation and openly attacked a local uncle, making a big mistake. The clan has long wanted to cultivate a leader again."
However, Yao Yun shook his head. Xingtian had lost his practice on the big trumpet and was planning to practice the trumpet again. Unfortunately, things are not that simple.
"Xing Tianman and Xing Tianli are ambushing and plotting against our king. When you confine them, are you punishing them or protecting them? Just change it to another outstanding prodigy and continue to expand the territory in the Southern Wilderness. Such a big thing is reduced to a trivial matter so easily.
, it’s a good idea for you Xingtian clan to fight! If I set this precedent, no one will dare to stand alone in the future and do evil!"
"this..."
The brave old man of the Xingtian clan was speechless for a moment, with a look of anxiety on his face. In desperation, he quickly turned his attention to Mr. Jimo and wanted to ask Mr. Jimo to say a few words for him.
In fact, Master Jimo wanted to say a few words for the Xingtian family at the beginning to reconcile the conflict between the Youxi family and the Xingtian family. Once this happened, he, Master Jimo, would be proud of himself.
But what Yao Yun said makes sense. If peace is negotiated so easily, it will damage the reputation of the Xi family and the Xi country, and make the princes in the world think that they are easy to bully.
Although Mr. Jimo can sometimes be a "stick", he is not a stupid person. He did not speak for Xing Tianshi at this time, but said:
"My young patriarch is right, Mr. Yong, you Xingtian clan are not sincere enough!"
When Mr. Yong saw that Mr. Jimo did not speak for him, he secretly scolded Mr. Jimo for not being moral enough and for taking the benefits and not doing anything.
"Ahem~ Xihou, please tell me a charter, how can we reconcile?" Yonglao asked tentatively.
Yao Yun shuddered and raised his eyebrows: "It's very simple. Xing Tianman was recalled to China and imprisoned for a hundred years. Xing Tianli was held hostage in Xidu and suffered ten years of imprisonment to serve as a warning to others. But don't worry, Mr. Yong.
It will not harm his life, nor will it damage the foundation of his practice.
You agree that the blockade and sanctions will be lifted as soon as you are isolated, and we will sell you food, Jiexie pills and other supplies;
Otherwise, the blockade and sanctions will never be lifted until the Xingtian clan’s vanguard army is driven out of the Southern Wilderness!”
