Section 32 Anecdote

"The division commander said it is true that the entire Luzon region is indeed a big fat piece. I don't know how the central government of Luzon ruled. Such a fertile place is so poor and backward, and there is no city in such a large area!" Helianbo also said, "I think it is definitely the Luzons who intend to not build cities in this place, so that these ethnic minorities will have bases and fortresses to rely on once they rebel."

"Well, Boss Helian said it well, but the more you treat them as enemies, the more they will treat you as enemies, so how can they talk about economic development?" Linghu Yi sighed and continued, "My father was here when he was doing business ten years ago. When he came back, he told me about the place, saying that although the resources here are rich, the people are very poor. It has been ten years since then. I see that this place is no different from what my father said ten years ago."

"So how huge the impact of a government's policy direction on the local economy is. In such a rich and fertile place, people's lives are in a difficult situation, and there is still a talk of loyalty to the rulers?" Liang Chongxin nodded heavily, "The more dissatisfied the people with the rulers, the less worried the rulers will be, and there will be no good measures to promote economic development. People's lives cannot be improved, which makes the people even more dissatisfied. In this vicious cycle, it will never be able to develop."

The three people in the room were silent, obviously thinking about this issue. After all, this issue may be what one side will face in the future. The complex ethnic components affect the distribution of interests of all parties, which is always a contradictory complex.

"Two division commanders, I think we should not think so far-reaching. Since we come, we should be at ease. Although the Luzons are not doing well, they still stand firm here. I don't believe that we are not even as good as them. Not to mention that they are prosperous, they are at least better than the Luzons. Besides, this management aspect should be mainly concerned about the people from government agencies, and we don't have to eat salt and worry about it. At that time, Lord Li will naturally arrange it. We just need to do our current work well. Do you think, right?" In the end, Linghu Yi smiled and broke the boredom.

"Yes, I think these things should be left to Lord Li to worry about." Helianbo also smiled and agreed.

Liang Chongxin shook his head and said nothing, but turned the question to the other side: "By the way, we are not familiar with the geographical situation here. Linghu Yi, you have to arrange for scouts to be more familiar with the situation in various places, and our map is not detailed enough. I'll ask you to make a more detailed map. Have you got it?"

"Don't worry, commander of the division, why did I miss such an important matter? It has been hung on the wall." Linghu Yi walked to the side of the wall, lifted the curtain on the wall, and presented an exquisite and detailed geographical topographic map of Northern Luzon in front of the three.

"Wow, this map is good, it's more detailed than our military map. It's really rare. Well, even the mountains, rivers and forests have been marked out, which is so practical." Helianbo took the lead in walking to the map and praised the detailed map.

"Well, it's really good, good boy, did you get it from there?" Liang Chongxin also praised it with a rare glance, while carefully observing the markings on the map. "It's a bit incredible that you can find such an exquisite map here."

"Teacher Commander, you just underestimate these two piles of dishes. Don't look at the insignificant temple here, it's really a hidden dragon and a creeping tiger." Linghu Yi shook his head and replied proudly, "This map was made by me from an old scholar in the market town. This guy is very energetic. This map was drawn by him when he was young when he was exploring everywhere, and it took him a lot of effort."

"Then how did you get it? Don't force it!" Liang Chongxin also showed a satisfied smile on his face while studying the map. With this map, it would be much more convenient to formulate a marching plan.

"Don't worry, this is what he voluntarily gave to us."

"Is there such a good thing?" Even Liang Chongxin was a little surprised.

"He is a member of the Tang clan and lives here for generations. Because the Tang clan is weak here and is bullied by the Luzons, he is overjoyed when he heard that the imperial army has entered this place. I also said that he should pay some fees appropriately, but the old man got angry, so he had to accept it."

Helianbo, who had been looking at the map, suddenly interrupted the two of them: "Look, this area is the mysterious area famous in the mainland - the Green Sea Swamp?"

Both of them looked at Helianbo's fingers and looked at a large blank area to the west of the map. There were only a few simple words on the map: Green Sea Swamp.

"Yes, this area is a swamp area. It seems that even our explorers have never figured out the terrain situation there!" Liang Chongxin nodded and replied.

"I also asked the old man, and he said that when he was young, he had experienced hardships and deaths, crossing the green sea swamp for a lifetime. It was not that there was no road, but that there were too many and complicated roads. The most important point is that these roads often change with the changes in the weather. For example, if it rained for two days, then the road you were walking may have become a floating mud area. Maybe there was still a swamp there two days ago, but there were sunny weather for several consecutive days, and maybe it could pass by again. In short, it was impossible to determine a fixed route. It changed every day, changed every day, or even changed every day, and the radius of nearly a thousand miles. Who dared to enter casually?" Linghu Yi also explained carefully.

"That's fine, we don't have to worry about the Komini attack."

"So far, I have not heard that more than ten people have crossed the Green Sea Swamp, and there are still people who have explored alone or two or three people to cross this swamp area. I heard that over the past few decades, the Cominians have tried their best to find a way through this swamp. They spent a lot of money, hired many expedition teams, and many people died, and some passed, but the maps drawn were all trapped in the mud for the second time. This happened several times, and later they gave up." Linghu Yi continued.

"It seems that this place is really a death penalty!" Helianbo sighed with emotion.

"Boss Helian, you are wrong again." Linghu Yi shook his head and said, "This place is a huge treasure pot! It is rich in many rare birds, beasts and precious plants. Many people living around the swamp rely on it to make a living."

Linghu Yi's statement made Helian Bo confused. He scratched his head and asked, "You kid, didn't you say that the terrain is complicated just now. Most of the people who enter will go there and never return for a lifetime? How come there are people who rely on it to make a living?" Even Liang Chongxin was a little curious.

"The Green Sea Swamp is a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and the straight-line distance from this end to the Comini end is close to 200 kilometers. As long as you don't enter the central area, you will be active within 10 or 20 kilometers nearby. In addition, the locals have lived there for a long time and have some understanding of the geological characteristics of the swamp, so there will generally be no major problems. Because the climate there is warm and humid, the geological shape is strange, and there is no human being inhabited, for thousands of years, it has become a paradise for the reproduction of animals and plants, and many unique things on the continent are produced there." It seems that Linghu Yi has put some effort into understanding this Green Sea Swamp, and it is very clear.

"Oh? Let's hear what strange objects are there." Helianbo and Liang Chongxin were both interested.

"Hey, when it comes to rare treasures, there are too many. For example, the seven-tailed fox, you are underestimated as a beast. It is different from ordinary foxes. Not only is the fur soft and pleasant, but it also has seven tails of different colors. The most important thing is that this little thing is gentle and psychic and can listen to people's words. If it is tamed and mature, it can understand the general words of its owner, and it can understand the meaning without gestures or eyes. This thing has become the favorite of women in the top nobles of the Western Continent or the royal family. It is said that the Empress of the Famini Empire raised three pieces, each worth more than one million gold coins. Last time, the most famous Sospi Auction House in the Western Continent auctioned a young fox and was bought by a jewelry merchant for a high price of 600,000 gold coins."

Helianbo's mouth was so surprised that he could hold an apple. He shook his head, feeling incredible, and said, "His grandma, a bear! A beast actually wants to sell hundreds of thousands of gold coins! Six hundred thousand gold coins! It's enough to equip a unit."

Liang Chongxin also shook his head and felt it was too incredible, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Also, for example, cloud clams produced in swamp water, cloud clams with a lifespan of more than 500 years will produce beads. The beads are not as good as ordinary pearls. It is said that after a person dies, a cloud clam divine bead can be placed in his mouth, and the corpse can remain undead for thousands of years and remain in the state of death. If a living person wears the magic bead close to his body, it can greatly delay skin aging and keep youthful. It is said that a city-state in the mainland has been buying for three years for three years to get it." Speaking of these strange stories, Linghu Yi was so angry.

Both of them were stunned by the sound of being stunned.

"For example, the green grass in the wetlands is produced in the green sea swamp. The color is green and flawless. The grass fragrance is refreshing. It has a lifespan of ten years. If you can put a pot in the room and live in this room for a long time, the body will have a faint fragrance and can prolong your life. I heard that a nobleman from the imperial capital once transferred a pot of 250,000 imperial gold coins. Moreover, this grass can no longer bear fruit after leaving the swamp. It is said that no matter how serious the person is injured, as long as he has one breath, he can delay his life for seven days." Linghu Yi's extremely inflammatory tone made the two of them feel intoxicated.

After a long time, Helianbo woke up and asked, "What else?"

Linghu Yi looked at Helian Bo with a strange smile and said, "And there is something you dream of, Boss Helian!"

Helianbo smacked his lips in confusion and asked, "What I dreamed of? What?"

"A storm is produced in the swamp, extremely ferocious. The adult storm is a strange medicine in the world. No matter any man, as long as he takes this whip, he will be victorious and can control ten women every night without slack. This is difficult not your favorite boss Helian?! It is said that this authentic product was sold at a sky-high price of 500,000 imperial gold coins in Baicaotang, the most famous medicine hall in the imperial capital! " Linghu Yi looked at Helian Bo with a lewd smile.
