Yan Ruoli knew what Xiao Zhiyuan was thinking and comforted him: "General Xiao, your army has played a great role in the stability of Nanzhou. You don't have to fight against the imperial army to achieve military exploits."

Xiao Zhiyuan felt a little more comfortable.

But Ting Feng Qingchen smiled and said: "That's right. With General Xiao's army guarding Nanzhou, it is much easier for me to fight pirates. The scattered bandits on the mountain have been almost wiped out by General Xiao's army. Nanzhou is very safe now."

Xiao Zhiyuan glanced at him depressedly, this is not comfort at all, okay?

He is a dignified general, but he is only qualified to fight bandits?

But then again, what is the purpose of fighting?Isn’t it just for peace in the world?

The world is at peace and there is no need for him to fight. In the future, he will not even have to fight bandits. This is a good thing.

The depression in Xiao Zhiyuan's heart gradually dissipated.

It would be a good thing if there could come a day when all the soldiers were disarmed and returned to their fields.

After Wu Xiu was frightened and evacuated Nanzhou, the court was in an uproar.

The Lord and the faction suddenly gained the upper hand.

"We can't fight in Nanzhou. Raising troops and mobilizing people will waste people and money. It's better to be friends with everyone."

"That's right. Nanzhou is a small area, so what if we conquer it? We have to provide disaster relief every year, which is a waste of money."

"Nanzhou is poor. Not only can't we pay tribute, but we also have to help them. Nanzhou's independence is actually a good thing."

"That's right, we don't have to be dragged down by Nanzhou anymore. We spend our money ourselves and don't give it to those white-eyed wolves."

……

Out of fear of the Tuoba family, no one dared to tell the real reason.

Although in their hearts, they all knew that they could not attack Nanzhou. The key point was that Nanzhou was a place protected by God.

No matter how powerful mortals are, they cannot go against gods.

If the Tuoba family claims to be the emperor and is not afraid of gods, then they should fight on their own instead of sending themselves to wait for mortals.

The voice of the main war faction also became smaller.

Two troops were sent out, but twice they returned without success, and both times they retreated without even fighting for ridiculous reasons.

But the miracles are real. If you are really reckless and conflict with God, what will be the consequences?

Don't dare to think, dare not think.

Tuoba Duan was very angry. The Ye family had made the Tuoba family's scandal public, and now they kept showing miracles, which made the people lose heart.

How will he govern the country in the future?

Tuobaduan wanted to send people to attack Nanzhou again and get rid of Ye Weiyun and Yan Ruoli, but he was resisted by the wealthy families.

The aristocratic families don't really care who becomes the emperor, as long as the interests of the world are still divided among them.

The emperor was but their tool.

Out of interest considerations, they certainly hope that the Tuoba family will continue to be in charge of the country.

The series of measures Yan Ruoli and Ye Weiyun took in Nanzhou were something they did not want to see. Those measures were good for the people but not good for them.

However, it is not cost-effective for them to spend a large amount of military resources to attack Nanzhou and risk offending the gods.

Tuoba Duankong wanted to fight, but there was nothing he could do.

In fact, he had the intention to lead a military expedition in person, but the current competition between the King of Qi and the Crown Prince was also very fierce, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Tuobaduan still prefers the prince in his heart, but the prince's legs are disabled and there is no sign of getting better even now.

If the prince is really disabled, then it is better to leave the world to King Qi.

Tuobaduan suppressed King Qi and tried his best to treat the prince's leg.

King Qi was resentful. The prince was disabled and the dragon robe was found at home, but his father was still reluctant to abandon him.

Who do you think you are in his eyes?

As long as he can live his life, he must seize this throne.

Gradually no one mentioned the battle against Nanzhou anymore.

Everyone tacitly understood that as long as Nanzhou did not take the initiative to provoke a war, everyone would live in peace.

If you think about it carefully, Nanzhou's independence only damaged the Tuoba family's reputation, and it didn't actually have much impact on other aspects.

As some people have said, there will be no need for disaster relief in the future, but it will save money and food.

Two campaigns brought prestige to Nanzhou twice.

It would be better not to fight. If things go on like this, the people will gradually forget about Nanzhou, right?

Nanzhou finally settled down and the trade routes gradually became smoother.

At the junctions such as Changning County, there were merchants who secretly traded goods on small roads in order to make a profit.

Later, more and more people were trading, and the government turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

Later, it was almost normal transactions.

Nanzhou's products are novel, unique and cheap, and cannot be imitated elsewhere.

Nanzhou's products were like a gentle drizzle, quietly occupying most of the markets in the Daxing Dynasty without even realizing it.

When you wake up in the morning, there are people selling sweet potato pancakes, roasted sweet potatoes, potato shredded pancakes, cut pancakes, fruits, and many other types of breakfasts everywhere in the streets and alleys.

These small traders basically come from Nanzhou to do business.

Everyone tacitly pretended they didn't know they were from Nanzhou.

If they are unlucky and the government comes to investigate, these small vendors will use Mandarin or local dialect to defend themselves, saying that they are actually locals, but they are just learning to make Nanzhou's specialty food.

As for road guidance and other issues, there are guilds organized by Nanzhou people in other places to help solve the problem.

The rest of the time, baked potatoes, French fries and other snacks are widely available.

Many cities have opened new restaurants and launched new dishes with unique and delicious tastes.

Those with in-depth knowledge will know that these restaurants are basically owned by Nanzhou people.

In addition to opening a restaurant, there are also new condiments available.The dishes made with these condiments are particularly delicious.

People who like to go shopping find that the clothes of passers-by are getting better and better.

More and more people prefer to buy ready-made clothes instead of making their own clothes.

There are many new styles of clothes emerging in clothing stores, both expensive and cheap.

Some people calculate their money and buy cloth to make clothes at home. They don’t save a lot of money, but the clothes they make don’t look good.

New entertainments emerged, such as fighting landlords and playing mahjong.

In many cities, even the capital, no, I should say especially the capital, when walking on the streets, the sound of mahjong can be heard all the time.

Fighting against landlords and playing mahjong, it is inevitable that there will be some idle chatting.

As we chatted, we started talking about Nanzhou.

"I heard that people in Nanzhou are rich now. Every family has built a new house. They are all two-story houses. They are beautiful and comfortable."

"I've also heard that people in Nanzhou are eating a lot of meat and fish every day."

"How did Nanzhou become rich? Isn't that place notoriously poor? I remember people fleeing famine came out of Nanzhou every year."

"You don't even know this? After Nanzhou Guiye Gongzi and Yan Shenyi took charge, they made drastic reforms and turned Nanzhou into what it is today."

"I still don't understand, how do they make money?"

"I heard that it was blessed by God. Could it be that God allowed them to earn it?"

"No, no, I understand this. People in Nanzhou get rich with their own hands."

"Relying on my own hands? How? I work very hard every day, why can't I make money?"

"That's a way for you to make no money. Did you see the mahjong in your hand? This is what is spread in Nanzhou. When you buy mahjong, aren't you giving money to others?"
