[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

"What do you think sir?" Xue Xun kicked the ball to Mr. Ma who asked the question.

"The trade routes of Xue's family spread all over China and overseas. Today, the north of the Great Wall is occupied by Western barbarians. A hundred years ago, the Mongolian iron cavalry was famous. The Xue family's trade routes in the grasslands are also mainly low-level barter. The bitter cold in the northeast The land is guarded by the Marquis of Jingbei. The Jingbei Army travels in the ice and snow all the year round. It is not in vain. Jingbei Marquis was born in the Cheng'en Gong Mansion. Although the Empress Dowager is gone, the emperor is still gracious to his mother. Capital In the Central Plains of Jinling, there is an emperor who is Taisui Zhenshan, Nanchang also has the Minister of the Household Department Qi Wei, and the southeast seaside has the king of Nan'an with 20 sailors..."

"Wait..." Xue Xun hurriedly stopped, is Mr. Ma already choosing a place for uprising?He didn't say yes!

"What is the master's order?" Mr. Ma stopped and asked kindly.

Looking at Mr. Ma's calm eyes, and then looking at the eager eyes of his confidants around him, Xue Xun opened his mouth, without saying anything, and said awkwardly, "It's nothing, sir, continue." Even if you want to escape, you must have a base. , he doesn't have to revolt, Xue Xun thought to himself.

Mr. Ma nodded and then analyzed, "The land of Yunnan and Guizhou is populated by barbarians, towering mountains and forests, and full of miasma. It is not a place to settle down. Central Sichuan is known as the land of abundance, but the road to Shu is difficult to reach the blue sky. The natural advantages of geographical mountains and rivers guarantee the prosperity of the land of abundance. Prosperity also protects his tranquility."

Xue Xun listened to Mr. Ma's analysis, but his mind had already turned away.When it comes to the construction of the rear base areas, no one has more experience than our party, and it has been verified by history. It was only a dozen years before the weak defeated the strong, and the small and big were only a dozen years old, and there were still foreign enemies.Now Ximan is a Mongolian tribe that has been beaten and maimed, and they dare not go to war with the Central Plains easily; the navy in the southeast is also restrained by the troops of Qianxiang Kingdom.Seriously speaking, the only thing they want to resist is the local forces.

Xue Xun didn't realize that he was already thinking about issues as an uprising general.

"Master?" Xue Xun suddenly heard a call.

"Huh? What?" Xue Xun came back to his senses and found that everyone was looking at him, so he asked because he didn't understand.

"Mr. Ma just asked where the master intends to go. Before the place is in chaos, the information network can still be connected. If you wait for the refugees to ferment, the news will not be so easy to pass on." Golden Beast explained.

"What do you think of Jiangxi, sir?"

"It's located in the Central Plains, with smooth waterways, rich products, and a large population. It's a good place. But the master forgot that Zhao Lining, the governor of Jiangxi, was born in Qingliu. The military government is one-hearted, and it can be regarded as unique among the provinces, and its capital is Nanchang, and there is Qi Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Households!" Just now he has analyzed it very clearly, and Mr. Ma can't understand why Xue Xun chose Jiangxi. He is embarrassed to say Jiangxi There are still many mountains and forests in the territory, which are not suitable for commercial development at all, and the Xue family does not have much influence here.

It was only then that Xue Xun remembered that today is different from the past. In the era of large-scale machine production, it is possible to take the road of encircling the city from the countryside. Now, as long as you occupy the main cities, you can even conquer a province. The city is the center of everything.

"It's my fault. The most important thing for us now is to save our lives. Where is the Xue family with the strongest strength?" Xue Xun asked.

"Xue's family has a wide range of businesses, and their strengths are equal in all places. They can start only after the master gives an order." Mr. Ma said, what satisfied Xue Xun most with him and Mr. Niu was this straightforwardness, and they would do it as soon as they agreed.Just like when Master Xue died, the title of "Master" immediately came to him. He didn't want some old people to use the title of "Young Master" to show their qualifications.

That is to say, the strength of the Xue family is average wherever they are, and only after the decision is made to concentrate forces from various places can they work hard to build.Xue Xun looked around and asked, "Do you have any ink?"

"Yes, subordinates go and get it." The golden beast responded, they came out in a hurry, so naturally they didn't bring these burdens, but there were already in the Buddhist temple.The golden beast turned to get it, and Xue Xun picked up the incense burner offerings on the altar to the altar, trying to free the altar.

As soon as Xue Xun started, the others couldn't sit still, and said one after another: "Master, rest, this kind of rough work will be done."

"You should be resting, and when you are contributing, I will follow and run around, just to be active." Xue Xun laughed and joked to the crowd, but they would not listen, and hurriedly packed the altar up.

The Golden Beast found pens, inks, papers and inkstones, set them up and said, "It's so crude, I've wronged the master." The head of the Xue family, whose pearls are like earth and gold is like iron, has never used such inferior pens and inks.

"There will be better ones in the future." Xue Xun said indifferently.

Xue Xun grabbed the brush and began to draw the map, outlining the outlines of the provinces. The children's skills that he practiced since he was a child can never be forgotten. The toys he used to play when he was a child were puzzles of various provinces.At this time, the outline of the province is largely unchanged, and even if there are one or two slight changes, the people present probably won't be able to see it.

After drawing the outline of the terrain, Xue Xun turned around and painted the river with cinnabar on the Buddhist altar. He also knew the general direction of the river and the large lakes, and he was familiar with those things by heart.

After drawing these, Xue Xun began to mark the place names, which was more difficult. He had to correspond with the past and the present, and kept comparing with his memory. He meditated while drawing, and the speed was a bit slow.Xue Xun disliked that he was not integrated enough and was about to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, but he didn't see how everyone reacted to the map on the altar table.

Now is not the time when a big map for five yuan is sold all over the street. Maps are important secrets of the state. Even generals in the army only have one place for a while. Except for the palace, where have you seen such a complete map of the world.The Secretary of the General Administration is in charge of spying on private matters, but he has not explored the terrain, so why does Xue Xun know so clearly?

Xue Xun felt that he was slow. In fact, seeing him draw the outline so quickly, everyone was shocked. When he slowly marked the place names, no one dared to interrupt him. He thought, in this slow process, The situation in each city must have gone through in the master's mind.

Mr. Niu stood a little far away, watching Xue Xun drawing pictures at his desk, and behind him was Manjusri Bodhisattva sitting on a green lion with a solemn treasure and smiling while holding flowers.The map of the world is in his heart, he must be aiming at the world!

No one believed that Xue Xun was asking someone for advice just now. Everyone was thinking that it must be a test just now, asking if there are like-minded people!Mr. Ma and Mr. Niu looked at each other, saw the same meaning in each other's eyes, looked at each other and smiled, and both had a conclusion in their hearts.

Xue Xun took a long time to mark the place names, and a map was roughly completed. Xue Xun put down his pen and looked up at the crowd. He was startled by everyone's eager eyes, and stammered, "What... what's wrong?"

"Master, the painting is finished, is there a place to choose?" Mr. Niu changed the subject, since the master didn't say it clearly, they should assume they didn't know.There is still no horoscope yet, so naturally when things will come to fruition, it will be the time for them to "Chenqiao mutiny" and let the master wear the dragon robe.

Mr. Niu is full of enthusiasm, he just feels that the time is right for a literati, who doesn't have the heart of a counselor, turning his hands into clouds and rain, stirring up the world's general situation with his frail body, it's exciting to think about it .Mr. Niu barely suppressed the passion in his heart, and concentrated his mind on the site selection. This is the land of Longxing in the future!Xue Xun was immature in the past, and always liked to ask them for advice. Mr. Niu automatically helped him figure out the reason. This is the performance of being good at accepting advice and listening to others!

Xue Xun didn't know what a map made his subordinates think, so he said smoothly: "The drawing is finished, please help me to refer to it."

The crowd watched closely with great interest. According to Mr. Niu's analysis, Xue Xun marked the land within the imperial court's control with red cinnabar.Most of the power of the imperial court is concentrated in the north, and the south has not yet been marked. It does not mean that the imperial court has lost control of the south.The imperial court could not send troops from the central government, but could only mobilize local troops. Once the country sent troops from all directions, the local powerful forces would definitely rise.What will the court do then?Decree to let militia groups from all over the country be loyal to the country, then it is not a feudal town, or even a separatist regime.If the local troops are not allowed to quell the chaos, the refugees can rush directly to the capital, and the imperial court is also in a dilemma.

At a time when the imperial court was about to lose control over the region, a small force like Xue Xun was just fishing in troubled waters.

"The Xue family has the most strongholds along the river..." Mr. Niu stepped forward to explain, and Xue Xun handed Mr. Niu the pen and motioned him to mark it on the map.How could Mr. Niu dare? If the country was founded, this would be a map with political significance. It would be an honor to be able to explain one or two things. Please come, master."

The golden beast saw the opportunity quickly, and handed over the yellow ink used by the monks to copy Buddhist scriptures. The golden color was designated as the national color during the founding of the country in Daqing, and it was reserved for the royal family. This coincidence also shocked the two gentlemen. It is God's will.

Following Mr. Niu's explanation, Mr. Ma's additions, and the perfection of your confidantes, the distribution map of the world's forces is roughly outlined.

Xue Xun compared icons of several colors, and finally pointed to a city and said, "Just here."

Everyone looked at it, and there were two big ink characters - Wuzhou.

Wuzhou is located in Guangxi, where the Pearl River flows through. It is a natural inland port with convenient transportation.Since the Qin Dynasty, the Lingqu Canal has been dug here. The influence of the Han people on this place has been growing for a long time. It can be said that except for the remote mountainous areas that are occupied by the barbarians, the real prosperous places are dominated by the Han people.Moreover, the Xue family is very powerful here, and the golden color is almost connected together.

"Then go here. Walk from the canal, cross the Yangtze River, pass through Poyang Lake, turn into the Ganjiang River, and then go to Wuzhou. Don't listen to the fast boats and horses all the way. Send orders to all parties now!" Xue Xun ordered, seeing Everyone had no objection, put down their pens and turned back.

The golden beast looked at the precious map from behind and laid it carelessly, and was touched by the master's trust in his heart.As the chief housekeeper, he must take care of the logistics and internal affairs for his son.With a stretch of his arms, he wrapped up the map and went after Xue Xun, no matter how many gentlemen were still reading and studying.
