The battle is very boring, especially the Lingnan Mountains are densely forested, and the complex terrain alone is a headache.

For this reason, Chen Gan sighed a lot.

As a result, after Feng Xuan looked at it, he gave Chen Gan an idea: "Too many trees? Just cut it down."

"Cut down trees?" Chen Gan frowned after hearing this, "This is indeed a method, but it is too slow. What's more, we are here this time to quell chaos, so how can we have the energy to cut down so many trees?"

Feng Xuan was not worried at all: "What's the matter? Feng has already looked at it, and many of the trees here are of good quality, very suitable for building houses and making furniture. If they are cut down and sold, naturally many people are willing to help us Cut the tree."

"This..." Chen Qian was not good at doing business at all, and he didn't even study wood.He looked suspiciously at the surrounding woods, and asked uncertainly, "These trees can really be sold? But will anyone buy them?"

"Why not? Feng has already repaired a letter and ordered someone to send it to the capital. As long as His Majesty sees it, the marshal will wait to count the silver."

Chen Gan frowned, and suddenly understood Feng Xuan's meaning.

They are now fighting in Lingnan. If these trees are really sold, their benefits will definitely be indispensable.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out: "Since these trees can be sold for money, why don't the local people..."

Feng Xuan smiled slightly: "The natives here live close to the forest, live by hunting on weekdays, and reject outsiders, so naturally they don't cut down trees to sell money. So they guard the treasure mountain without knowing it, and instead live in hardship. "

When Chen Gan heard this, he couldn't help sighing deeply, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for the people here.It's just that when he thought of his grandfather who died in battle on this land and those soldiers, the sympathy in his heart suddenly faded.

Now that the natives are making trouble, he and the natives here are enemies, and it is not a good thing to sympathize with the enemy.

So he settled down and put the matter aside for the time being.

Feng Xuan, on the other hand, took a deep look in the direction of the capital, calculated the time, and felt that the letter should be arriving soon.

As he expected, Gao Zixin did receive the letter sent by Feng Xuan.However, just when he received the letter, he also heard a piece of news——

A rumor suddenly appeared in the capital, saying that Gao Zixin sent troops to attack Lingnan in order to take the opportunity to kill Lingnan King.

As soon as this rumor appeared, it spread quickly under the deliberate spread of someone with a heart.

As soon as Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of intelligence, received the news, he immediately went to investigate in the capital, and at the same time reported the matter to Gao Zixin immediately.

As soon as Gao Zixin saw Jin Yiwei's report, he sneered directly: "Gao Haichong, Gao Hairen! If you want to use public opinion to deal with me, you are too young!"

So, in the afternoon of that day, all places in the capital were posted on the imperial list.

The content of the imperial list is quite simple, but the person in charge of writing the article is a talented person. First, it is written that the natives of Lingnan committed rebellion, the life and death of the king of Lingnan is unknown, and Gao Zixin sent troops to attack Lingnan just to save the king of Lingnan.

Then, I recalled with great sorrow the fact that General Chen Wei was murdered by the local natives when he fought in Lingnan in the past.Finally, it also specifically stated that a group of vicious gangsters had infiltrated the capital recently, so that the people should be careful. If you encounter suspicious people, you can report them to the officials. Once you verify them, you will be rewarded.

As soon as the imperial list was posted, the common people immediately surrounded it curiously. When someone read out the content of the imperial list, the common people were immediately excited and all the grass and trees were full of soldiers.

Whether Gao Zixin wanted to kill the King of Lingnan was something they didn't care about, but a group of vicious gangsters had infiltrated the capital, which threatened their wealth and lives!

No one can care less!

So soon, under the orders of Gao Haichong and Gao Hairen, the "nails" who sneaked into the capital in secret soon became street rats.Those new faces were quickly reported. As soon as Jin Yiwei arrested them, he also found out many old nails that had taken root for a long time, which can be described as a happy event.

Gao Haichong and Gao Hairen wanted to make trouble for Gao Zixin, but where is the capital?The capital is Gao Zixin's territory, how could they let them succeed?

However, although many people were arrested, Gao Zixin was still worried.

He thought for a while, and the best way to kill rumors was to launch new rumors.

So with a swipe of his pen, Gao Zixin simply decided to build the Tibetan Library.As for how to build...

Gao Zixin directly asked the Ministry of Industry to conduct a public bidding, whether it was the wood or bricks and tiles needed for the construction of the Tibetan Library, all bidding was from the private sector.

He gave an order, how dare the Ministry of Industry not listen?

At first, the people in the Ministry of Industry were a little worried, but after they followed Gao Zixin's request to open the bidding, the Ministry of Industry went up and down, and the Ministry of Households went up and down, grinning until their ears reached the ears.

Building a Tibetan library is a good thing for the country and the people, and it may even be passed down through the ages.Who doesn't want to be in the limelight?Who wouldn't want to use home-provided bricks and tiles?

So as soon as the bidding was made public, all the companies put in all their energy and desperately lowered the price in order to be selected.

So as soon as the bidding was over and the Ministry of Industry made the statistics, it was discovered that this bidding directly saved half of the budget!How could the household department be unhappy when such news came out?

Not only that, Gao Zixin also asked people from the Ministry of Industry to send a message to the selected timber merchant, suggesting that the other party could go to Lingnan to buy timber.

In this way, Gao Zixin saved a lot of money, and also solved the problem of too many trees and dense forests in Lingnan.

So, when there was no war, Feng Xuan and others started trading timber.

Not all the local natives want to rebel against the imperial court, some are always timid and dare not follow others to make a fuss.At first, they were very worried that the imperial army would kill them all, but when they learned that as long as they didn't resist, they would be fine, and they immediately felt relieved.

As soon as the timber merchants arrived and they learned that the trees could be sold for money, they were immediately tempted and started trading timber with the imperial army.

Once the white money is in hand, these people seem to have no desire to rebel against the court.

When the natives in other places heard the news, their hearts were gradually shaken.

Gao Haichong and Gao Hairen never imagined that they finally teamed up and caused such a big trouble for Gao Zixin. In the end, they haven't fought much yet, and people's hearts are almost lost!

Gao Hai, who was far away in Daning, was so inflated that he vomited blood again, and Gao Hairen, who was hiding secretly, also began to panic, and kept sending people to encourage the native leaders, for fear that the other party would change their minds.

However, things are far from over.

The imperial army did not leave at all, but directly stationed, and started the timber business in a serious manner.As the timber was continuously transported away and the silver in the hands of the natives increased, other merchants, like sharks smelling blood, immediately rushed over with food, salt, cloth and various spices.

The local natives mainly rely on hunting for their livelihood, and the way of life in many places is still very primitive, so not only lack of food, but also lack of salt, cloth, and various spices.

As soon as the merchants brought their goods, the silver in the hands of the natives was quickly exchanged for grain and cloth.

It's just that, gradually, some people panicked.

If the tree is gone, how will they live in the future?

Feng Xuan knew the news, and immediately sent another letter to Gao Zixin.

So not long after, Gao Zixin sent a team over and started a new round of deception.There is only one central idea - if you want to get rich, build roads first!

Let's fix the road first, and His Majesty will help you get rich in the future!

In order to increase their persuasiveness, these people also specifically mentioned the multi-treasure building, which is making money every day. In particular, they mentioned that a relative of one of their own was almost poor enough to be poor, and no one wanted them, but Not only did he live in a good house after he entered Duobao Building as a buddy, the matchmaker almost crushed the threshold!

The natives are fierce, but not so thoughtful, and they are quickly brainwashed by the bright prospects mentioned by those people.So without further ado, we started building roads very simply!

In order to make a fortune in advance, these people work very hard, and they don't even need to be paid wages, as long as they are given food, they can't wait to take turns working day and night.

Feng Xuan immediately ordered the spies to spread the news that these natives got rich far and wide throughout Lingnan. When Gao Haichong heard the news, he was so angry that he couldn't get out of bed.

Even Gao Hairen, who was much younger than him, was so angry that he beat his chest and sighed. He had been the King of Lingnan for so many years, but he was guarding Baoshan without knowing it.

Even the leaders of the local people who gathered together and were ambitious to do a big fight began to waver in their hearts.

Originally, they relied on the dense forests in the Lingnan Mountains and the poisonous miasma and mosquitoes, so they didn't pay attention to the imperial army.

In the end, they all prepared their positions and laid traps along the way, but the imperial army did not fight when they came. Instead, they led the local people to start a timber business. How would they fight?

Is it possible to call it by yourself?

It's a joke, those troops cut down a forest when they went to a place, and even encouraged the local natives to help them cut down trees and build roads. Wouldn't it be a trap for them to fight there by themselves?

But if you don't fight, are you going to sit and wait for death?

The native leaders were extremely entangled, but those natives who had defected to the imperial court counted their money and smiled.

They don't care what consequences they will cause to those rebellious natives, they only know that after taking refuge in the court, their life will become much better!

In the past, I couldn't eat enough for two days in three days, but now I can fill my stomach every meal.And those who are officials can say that their life will be better in the future than now!

So good that they dare not even dream about it!

Fools know how to choose!
