Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 553 Grassland ([-])

Chen Zheng's previous words contained a lot of threats, but the sweet dates behind the big stick were also very tempting.

The truth that icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow is known to the big guys on the grasslands, and who doesn't do this in the big and small tribes?It's just that more often the grassland tribes choose to add insult to injury, and suddenly charge up to give you a fatal blow when you are weak.

Yang Tongue was the first to express his opinion, "Master Chen, my Yang Tongue tribe is wholeheartedly willing to help His Highness and make contributions to His Highness. The living environment on the grassland is getting worse and worse. Perhaps you have never understood the details of grassland life in the Central Plains. Now whether it is gold Both tribes and large tribes have increased the degree of oppression on the bottom, and the protection fees are getting higher and higher. At the beginning, they will give us small tribes a little way to survive, so as not to let our tribes starve to death, but as time goes by With the growth of large tribes, more and more people need more resources. When the self-produced resources are insufficient, the original protection fee is not enough for them to consume. The standard of protection fee will be raised again and again. The survival of our small tribes is also becoming more and more difficult in the future. They are getting stronger and stronger, and we are getting weaker and weaker. Fortunately, the situation in the past few years has given us small tribes a chance to breathe, and it will not be so We are poor, and our family has also enriched a lot, but the arrival of horse plague will not quickly consume our accumulation over the years, even if there is no horse plague in our place, it will not be unavoidable. Think about it now Compared with those compatriots who immigrated to the Central Plains, our Sheep Tongue people are indeed inferior. They are getting richer, but we can only maintain food and clothing. It may not be able to sustain it, and on this point, Brother Fan should have more insights than me."

Fan Shicheng also nodded in agreement, and then started to complain. The general content was similar to what Yangyan Tao said, but the Fan family's foundation was not good, and the impact was far greater than that of the Yangtonese tribe. Thanks to the support of the Sheeptongue Clan, things have improved to a certain extent.

Chen Zheng struck while the iron was hot and began to paint cakes for the two of them.

"Since the two patriarchs are like this, life in the grassland has been greatly affected for you, and it has affected the development of your tribe. Why don't you change your mind and develop in a brand new place? Patriarch Yangtong has already seen the inland migration. The life of the people in the prairie afterward, the patriarch of the Fan clan may not know much about this aspect, but I can also briefly introduce it to you, it may be different after joining His Highness's command and other situations."

"Master Chen (Mr. Chen), please speak, we are all ears." Yang Yantai and Fan Shicheng said in unison. Even Yang Yanlu on the side was pricking his ears at this time. He couldn't decide on the decision-making aspect. Yes, but this does not affect myself to secretly listen and pay attention to my future happy life.

Then, under Chen Zheng's narration, Yan Xuelan's next plan also revealed the tip of the iceberg.

Yan Xuelan did not choose to directly ask her father to ask for a fiefdom, and then take people to manage it herself.

Although such a situation can give oneself a solid foundation, but to develop it requires intrigue with various forces that exist locally.

The strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake, just like Beiping where Chen Zheng and his family lived.

Official uniforms have the power of official uniforms, and the folks will naturally have corresponding forces.

Every city has its own local snakes, which may be some families, caravans, or Jianghu gangs.

But none of them can be suppressed by official uniforms at will.

The simplest examples are that the in-law relationship in each family is complicated, and it is common for small families to hug the thighs of big families. The original family and separate families are as intricate as the roots of an old tree. Touching one may lead to a series of chains. question.

The same is true of various chambers of commerce and the like, and they have a large amount of living materials in their hands to maintain a certain degree of daily necessities in the country. In particular, it is not unheard of for big businessmen to speculate on prices.

Jianghu gangs are mostly disciples of the sect with average talent, and it is unlikely that they will become advanced warriors. Therefore, they are sent by the sect to establish various small gangs in the city. First, they can help the sect to inquire about information and collect wealth. Second, It is possible to collect suitable disciples for the sect. After all, few sects locate their mountain gates in the city. In order to show their status, most of them are in the deep mountains and old forests. Talented young people will not take the initiative to come. In front of your mountain gate, it has always been the policy of various sects to properly cast a wide net to select good seedlings.

So since dealing with these relationships is so troublesome, it's better to be clean from the beginning.

When Yan Xuelan trained Luan Fengwei, she chose to be innocent or orphans, and signed a contract to reduce the bond between them and the people behind them, so that they would not rely on family affection to play emotional cards in the future. Yan Xuelan directly This road was blocked.

He didn't choose any large city, but chose an abandoned military garrison castle. Simple repairs can already accommodate ten thousand people, which can not only save some expenses for himself, but also directly recruit nearby refugees. Don't try to come in and show your prestige with the door and the like, it's impossible.There is no soil for them to live in Luanfeng City. From the inside to the outside, it is Yan Xuelan's arrangement, which is Yan Xuelan's words.

Maybe you can take a look at the caravans coming and going, but I'm sorry, this is a caravan under Yan Xuelan's own name, and outsiders can't keep it for the time being.

However, as Luanfeng City becomes more and more saturated, expansion is a problem that must be faced. If Yan Xuelan has no ambitions in her heart, it is just to give herself a product to play with, so there is no need to expand, but Yan Xuelan naturally has a heart. If you have ideas, since you want to do something, you must do it well, and she won't do things like foreign work.

In addition to recruiting a large number of refugees, Yan Xuelan also set her sights on these grassland people. They can survive in such a complicated living environment on the grassland, and their physique is really stronger than the average Central Plains people.

Can work better.

Moreover, these small tribes of prairie people do not have so many twists and turns. As long as there is a certain stable environment, they can live on, and then Yan Xuelan will train them slowly, and they will always be able to give these people I got it under my own hands.

Although it may take a little longer.But the risk is also reduced a lot.

Now if the Sheep Tongue Clan and the Fan Clan set an example and take the lead in defecting to Yan Xuelan's command, it will not only make up for the shortage of Yan Xuelan's men, but also improve their tribal benefits.

This is the same as the principle of buying a thousand-mile horse bone with a thousand gold. As the first prairie people to take effect, Yangtongqin and Fan's City can be said to be destined to be reused. For management, before they were the patriarchs of the small tribe at the bottom, and after they get to Yan Xuelan's side, they can become the top leaders of the grassland tribe. In addition to their respective tribes, many people will join one after another. The number of people they have to manage will only increase. Can people from the seven small tribes satisfy Yan Xuelan's appetite?Obviously impossible.

When Chen Zheng painted cakes for the two of them, the faces of Yang Tong Chi and Fan Shicheng became brighter and brighter, as if they saw their own infinite scenery in the future. Age is not a problem for warriors, as long as they practice martial arts, or If you take Tiancaidibao, you will always grow.

As long as they can make contributions, this is not a problem. They can still fight for decades to lay the foundation for their descendants and ethnic groups.

In the end, Fan's City was successfully persuaded. The scene Chen Zheng described was indeed not something he could resist. The temptation was too great. Only those who have experienced hardships on the grassland know the value of a stable life.

Sheep tongues help to set off the atmosphere, showing their loyalty in a timely manner, and their attitude is very correct.

After a banquet, Fan's City did not hesitate, and directly called all the elders to discuss the matter. Chen Zheng didn't need to know the specific content, but two elders "died accidentally" and some members of the Fan clan were killed. Cleaned up.

Fan's City is also very decisive, and there is no need to show mercy to some diehards, because a little bit of power wants to delay the future of one's own tribe, and death will not be punished.

The situation of the Fan Clan is a bit different from that of the Sheep Tongue Clan, but after a lot of deterrence, they finally unified their caliber and began to prepare for the migration. First of all, the Fan Clan will move to the vicinity of the Sheep Tongue Clan, and they must act as soon as possible stand up.

Chen Zheng and the others still have people from several other tribes to win over, so they need to move faster.

Then Fan's City also arranged for trustworthy people to migrate, and he followed Yang Tongqian and others followed Chen Zheng to the next tribe.

I believe that with two small tribes in this area setting an example, other small tribes should know how to do it.

Chen Zheng is confident that he can persuade other small tribes to accept the invitation and further contribute to his mission.

At the same time, in Yanjing, the matter about Yan Xuelan's exit was also sent to one's desk.

Look at the sign of Yushufang hanging outside, and you will know who the person inside is at a glance.

In front of the desk at this time, there is a middle-aged man who is not angry and arrogant, looking at the letter in his hand. He has a Chinese character face, a pair of sword eyebrows, and sharp lines, giving people the image of a tough guy at first glance. .

And this person is naturally Yan Chaohui, the current emperor of Beiyan.

The pinnacle of Beiyan's power.

At this time, he frowned slightly, but there was no anger in his eyes, and then he quickly relieved. Let others dictate, not even your own father.

Even though he sent Hong Zhenghai there, he still didn't stop him. It seemed that he was probably convinced by Yan Xuelan.

Tsk, this old eunuch has been motionless for so many years. If I hadn't had some friendship with him, and Yan Xuelan was her daughter, I probably wouldn't have ordered him not to call him. But I didn't expect that Hong Zhenghai would do it so quickly. "Rebellious", should it be said that she deserves to be her own daughter?
By Yan Chaohui's side, Xie Hanyi could be seen waiting at the side, and he was the one who presented the information in Yan Zhaohui's hands.

Someone sent the news after Yan Xuelan left Daxing Pass.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to send more people to protect His Highness?" Xie Hanyi asked.

After all, it is a grassland, and Yan Xuelan's identity has not been revealed yet, and the iron cavalry who left the customs has attracted the attention of the grassland people and distracted their energy, but if they know of Yan Xuelan's existence, Xie Hanyi will be fine I imagined that the masters of the prairie people would definitely make a move. In recent years, the prairie people have been beaten repeatedly in the battle with Beiyan. Finally, there is an existence that makes Beiyan fearful. They will not let go of such a good man. of opportunity.

Although Yan Xuelan was protected by Hong Zhenghai and Jiang Wenhuan, it was not very safe no matter what, so Xie Hanyi knew how worried Yan Chaohui was about his precious girl, so he asked this question.

But Yan Zhaohui shook his head this time.

"Don't worry, there is no need to send additional manpower. Hong Zhenghai is enough. Don't you know him well?"

As her confidant, not only Yan Zhaohui knew about it, but even Xie Hanyi knew of it, but Hong Zhenghai was indeed very talented when he was young, and he could be called a masterpiece. Xie Hanyi might not have beaten him when he was young.

But it has been 18 years since he made a move, and after losing his spiritual support, can Hong Zhenghai still have the fighting power of his youth?Xie Hanyi still has reservations about this, and doesn't really believe it.

"Hanyi, do you still remember what she said once, if you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence?" Yan Zhaohui said.

Xie Hanyi nodded, "There is such a sentence, but what does it have to do with Hong Zhenghai? Your Majesty, you mean that Hong Zhenghai is not only not negative, but is accumulating his own anger?"

Yan Zhaohui nodded and said, "It's natural. Hong Zhenghai seems to be doing nothing, but I can see the fighting spirit in his eyes. It's a kind of flame called revenge. He won't grow old until his goal is achieved. He He can't grow old either, revenge is his only motivation to survive, even though he hasn't made a move for more than ten years, but his ability can only be more diligent, whether it is a further step, it is not clear to you and me."

"What your majesty said is that I was negligent, and I didn't expect such a big change in Hong Zhenghai, but I am still a little worried about your majesty's safety." Xie Hanyi was still a little worried.

"Children will grow up one day, and we can't always be with them all the time. Should we let go or let go?"
