Luo Ning said softly: "Husband, modify it yourself. The sisters just mentioned it casually."

Zhou Jinyan was not fooled.

There are a lot of weird things in the picture, who knows whose idea it is.

Accidentally drop one, who can feel at ease.

There is no nonsense at the moment, holding a lot of gold.

Call all the girls to the backyard.

To put it bluntly, these are also the playgrounds of the girls.

I can have fun, and many unpleasant things will naturally be forgotten.

Buying things is really fast, and it doesn't take long for it to be almost the same.

However, only about 50 of the 20 gold that was brought from Daughter's Country was left at this time.

The construction of these things in the back garden cost a total of one hundred thousand gold.

If it is flowers, plants, trees, rockery and rocks, it will not cost so much money.

But many things cannot be bought with money, and you have to spend it if you don’t spend it.

The huge changes in the back garden really made the girls very happy.

As for whether the layout is reasonable or not, no one asked.

Immediately afterwards, the planning of some small places in the mansion cost about [-] gold.

Although it cost a lot of money.

But the joy on the faces of the girls couldn't be concealed, and they were all very happy.

Zhou Jinyan had a smile on his face, but he felt bitter in his heart.

Now has thirteen states.

Each state must have at least 2000 guards.

At least 500 of them had firearms.

Although it is not needed yet, the manpower has not yet been summoned.

But sooner or later it is needed.

The war between Xihai City and Tubo cost a lot of money, and there was no gold at all.

If it is other places in the Thirteen States, there is not much gold, not even a mine.

I'm afraid it will be hard to buy weapons.

But Zhou Jinyan also plans to produce weapons.

The most primitive firearms.

After that, it will be gradually eliminated.

Therefore, if we can build an arsenal with the daughter country, there will be no problem.

It can also save a lot of gold.

It's just that there are no capable people to use it now.

It is difficult to find the right candidates.

Plan the governor's mansion well.

The girls are still busy cleaning the house, but Zhou Jinyan is thinking about the future, which has made Jiaozhou develop rapidly.

For a brief understanding, there are more fishermen in Jiaozhou who go out to sea to catch fish.

There are not many farmers who cultivate the land.

Chapter 1161

He also doesn't know if potato cultivation can be promoted.

And the way of development is probably not the same as in Yazhou.

Yazhou's model cannot be applied.

But in any case, the road should be repaired first.

After a day's rest, Zhou Jinyan took the initiative to call everyone for a meeting.

He asked about other things in Jiaozhou, which made him happy. Jiaozhou actually has iron mines, and there are a lot of them.

"King Xihai, the imperial court has a strict control system for Jiaozhou iron mines, and I'm afraid we can't interfere in iron mine affairs."

It was an old man who spoke, and looked very large.

It's just that the tone of the speech makes people very unhappy, and it feels like giving orders instead of explaining.

Zhou Jinyan frowned slightly.

Yuan Han immediately said: "Liu Sima, now the king is taking me to Jiaozhou, everything in Jiaozhou should belong to the king, and the iron mine naturally belongs to the king."

Many officials changed their colors slightly. I didn't expect Yuan Han to say that.

Liu Sima's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Why, Yuan Inspector Yuan thinks that my Jiaozhou belongs to the King of Xihai, so it doesn't belong to the Tang Dynasty?"

Yuan Han sneered and said, "Naturally, it's just that Jiaozhou belongs to Xihaiwang first, and then to Datang."

Liu Sima narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yuan Governor, do you know what you're going to say?"

Yuan Han said in a loud voice: "Liu Sima, I would like to ask you, the imperial court appointed the king as the king of Xihai, and commanded my thirteen prefectures on the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty. He made it clear that everything was ordered by the king. Could it be that you want to disobey? The order failed?"

Sima Liu laughed loudly, stroked his beard and said, "Ci Shi Yuan, don't forget that minerals do not belong to local management, but to the imperial court."

"What if I say I have to?"

Zhou Jinyan's voice sounded faintly, making the atmosphere in the lobby slightly stagnant.

Liu Sima frowned, he was confused, but now he came to his senses.

Zhou Jinyan didn't seem to be the same as those people, no wonder Yuan Han dared to speak like that.

Zhou Jinyan's gaze was distant, he didn't look at Liu Sima, but at the other people in the hall.

"Everyone, tell me that the imperial court entrusted me with everything in the thirteen prefectures, can I use the minerals from each prefecture?"

There was deathly silence, and everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe.

Zhou Jinyan's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and all the officials he saw lowered their heads.

"so-----"

Zhou Jinyan's voice suddenly became brisk, and he said with a smile, "If I want these minerals, what can you do?"

A young official hesitated for a while, and whispered: "You can write to the imperial court. If the imperial court agrees, the minerals of each state can be used."

"You all think so?"

Zhou Jinyan said with a smile on his face: "My identity, before the future, everyone must have investigated it."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly no one dared to speak.

"That's it."

Zhou Jin said calmly, "Let's all step back."

The morning meeting was halfway through, and they withdrew, making everyone feel heavy.

I don't know what will happen to the newly arrived Xihai King.

"Yuan Han."

Leaving Yuan Han alone, Zhou Jin said, "Among these people, who else is there besides Liu Sima?"

Yuan Han didn't speak, but took out an official document from his cuff, and handed it over carefully.

Zhou Jinyan opened it and found that Liu Wu's name was at the top of the list.

Sweeping around, he frowned.

Most of the officials in Jiaozhou, big and small, are on the roster.

"If you want to control Jiaozhou, these people have to be eliminated?"

Zhou Jinyan put down the official document and looked at Yuan Han.

The corner of Yuan Han's mouth trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "It's not about getting rid of them, just drive them away. With the power of the King of the West Sea, it's not difficult to drive them away."

Zhou Jinyan smiled, "Will they leave?"

Yuan Han thought for a while and said, "If the King of the West Sea brought soldiers and horses, they would leave. If there were no soldiers and horses, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

Zhou Jinyan asked.

"Maybe they will raise troops to drive away the King of the West Sea."

Yuan Han raised his head, "The emperor is far away from Shangao, and the Jiaozhou side is far from simple on the surface. Various forces are intertwined. Once the interests of one of them are affected, countless others will be involved, and then they will join forces to resist."

Zhou Jinyan was not surprised at all.

These people have been entrenched here for a long time, and they have long regarded themselves as emperors.

As soon as he comes now, he will show his hands and feet, and I am afraid that these people will be the first to be unhappy.

Jiaozhou was no different from Yazhou. At that time, he had many people under his command.

But right now, all the people around him have been sent out.

Only local gentry can be used.

If you shovel by the root, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.

Although he is not afraid.

After discussing with Yuan Han, Zhou Jinyan decided to win over some and drive away some.

Of course these people didn't leave, but no wonder he was cruel.

Inside a mansion in Jiaozhou.

Liu Sima sat at the top, and many people sat at the bottom, there were dozens of people.

Sima Liu, we can't sit still and wait for death. "

One person said suddenly.

His words aroused a lot of recognition.

"Yes, Zhou Jinyan is a demon king. When he was in Yazhou, he dealt with the local gentry and used bloody suppression. Now that he is here in Jiaozhou, I'm afraid he wants to use the same method."

"Liu Sima, we will take you as the leader. As long as you say a word, we will immediately gather people and besiege the governor's mansion."

"Let's act. I heard that Zhou Jinyan didn't bring troops here, but only his family members. This is a good time for me to send troops."

Liu Sima's face was always calm, and his voice became quieter when he saw everyone talking.

Then he looked at the person at the bottom right, "Xu Changshi, what do you think?"

Xu Changshi is in his 30s and looks very young.

Hearing this, he got up and cupped his hands, and said seriously: "I also think we can't just sit and wait for death, we must take the initiative to attack."

Liu Sima stroked his beard and said, "Oh, how do you take the initiative to attack?"

"I don't care about the people in other counties for the time being. We just need to gather our troops and surround the Governor's Mansion to capture Zhou Jinyan."

Liu Sima murmured, "What will happen after Zhou Jinyan is arrested?"

Xu Changshi was taken aback, frowned and said, "Naturally...sent him to the court."

"Send it to the court, kill it directly, don't forget that Zhou Jinyan is the son-in-law of the three princesses. Even if the relationship between the court and Zhou Jinyan is not good, they will find a scapegoat for him at that time. Why don't you just find an excuse? .”

Xu Changshi didn't speak.
