After seeing off Molun, Xiao Tang fell into deep thought again. Lord Li had led the army to advance eastward, and there was no report on the specific war. I hope there would be good news. To put it in my heart, Xiao Tang did not agree with the expedition of Gerok this time. Although Gerok had such generous conditions, he was calm by nature and was still not optimistic about this dispatch.

Not to mention how long it takes for these seemingly vague and ethereal promises of the heir to the throne of the Delok, the seemingly vague promises can be realized. The use of such a huge force alone is enough to put the Northwest Finance, which was not too abundant, into crisis again. However, as the Director of the Administrative and Director of Finance, he must obey the overall situation. When Wufeng's determination is set, he can only obey unconditionally, and do everything possible to create conditions to serve the current war.

The consumption of more than 100,000 troops is not a small amount. It seems that war is a matter of the army, but in fact, the logistics department knows the bitterness. Although the War Readiness Agency had made quite sufficient preparations before the war, the preparations for these materials required money to buy. Rao was already considered a capable person who was very careful in calculating and reasonable planning, but it was hard to cook without rice. Without funds, everything was still purely empty talk.

Every war always makes Xiao Tang exhaust his efforts to prepare funds. The finances in the northwest had gradually improved, but he could not withstand such troubles anyway. The huge expenses of each war were enough to make any director of the Finance Director vomit blood and die. This was the conclusion that Xiao Tang had given it since he was in charge of the finances in the northwest. Thinking about the possible expenses that this time the expedition of the Trilock, Xiao Tang couldn't help but have a headache. The pensions for the fallen soldiers were just an astronomical figure. Xiao Tang once proposed a suggestion on the issue of the pensions for the fallen soldiers, hoping to reduce the standards appropriately to reduce the financial pressure, but was rejected by Wu Feng without hesitation, so he could only hope that this expedition could bring back some income to make up for the huge deficit.

Is Lord Li a little anxious? Xiao Tang didn't quite understand why his boss was so eager to expand outward, regardless of the actual situation in the northwest. In recent years, the northwest has been in good weather, industry and commerce have flourished, and agriculture has been harvesting year by year, but even so, it cannot withstand the continuous consumption of war. Such a reluctant attack on all sides, once there is any natural disaster or man-made disaster, the local government in the northwest has almost no strategic reserves, which can easily cause the northwest to fall into trouble.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tang sighed softly. Perhaps the perspective of his boss is different from his own, so he can only make suggestions to his boss from the perspective of the government. As for whether his boss can accept it, it is his boss's business.

The gentle knock on the door woke Xiao Tang up from his thoughts, frowned slightly, and Xiao Tang said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

"Sir, the two elders Kapok and Shiliu are waiting for you in the reception room." The guard replied respectfully outside the door.

"Oh?" Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment. The two big heads of the Gaoyue clan came together. I don't know what happened, so I calmed down and said, "Then please come to the study."

When Kapok and Shi Liu came outside the study, Xiao Tang had already been waiting outside the door.

"Hehe, two elders, long time no see, you two are getting more energetic?" Xiao Tang, with a smile on his face, walked forward with a smile, held their hands tightly, and entered the study.

"Mr. Xiao, let's be separated for three months. I think you have lost weight again. You should pay attention to your health. Now that Lord Li is not here, it's all up to you in the northwest. But it seems that you are in good spirits. Is there any happy event?" The one who answered him happily was Kapok. He and Xiao Tang are old friends. The two are quite familiar with each other and speak very casually.

"Hehe, Elder Kapok, you know me, what kind of happy events can you do? Alas, it's better to have two less troubles." Xiao Tang replied with a wry smile, warmly greeting the two of them, "Elder Shiliu, don't come? You look much younger."

"Mr. Xiao is really good at joking. Shi Liu is so troubled that he will come to Master Xiao for help." Shi Liu is also a very agile person, so he went up the rod.

"Oh?" Xiao Tang's heart sank, but he knew that Gao Yue people are very important in supporting the Northwest military. No matter how difficult it is, they have to find ways to ensure the other party. Xiao Tang is still very clear about these major events. He also admires his point of view, believing that he is a person who can entrust major events and can clearly distinguish priorities.

"The two elders come to find Xiao Tang together. There must be important things. If you have anything, please raise it. Lord Li has said long ago that Gao Yue is the most loyal people in our northwest. Any difficulties must be solved without fail. The two elders are not polite, so let's say whatever you have." Xiao Tang responded readily.

Seeing that the other party was so happy, the two of them were no longer polite, so they explained the purpose of the visit in detail.

It turns out that the living environment of Gaoyue people in Jinzhou has continued to improve in the past few years, and the news has spread in the Great Hengduan Mountains that run thousands of miles north and south of the mainland. In the past few years, many Gaoyue people from other regions have traveled across the mountains and ridges to Jinzhou. Especially last year, after Gaoyue people in Luzon joined the Northern Luzon under the control of Li Wufeng, their living conditions have also been greatly improved, which once again aroused the hope of Gaoyue people living in the central and southern Great Hengduan Mountains to pursue a better life. It turned out that only a few families moved in secret, but in the first half of this year, many Gaoyue tribes living in the central and southern Hengduan Mountains simply sent representatives directly to contact Gaoyue people living in Jinzhou and Luzon, hoping to accept their migration to these two places to settle down.

At first, Kapok and Shi Liu didn't care much about it after they learned their purpose, but there were more and more large tribes coming to contact, especially after several large tribes in the central and southern part of the Great Hengduan Mountains sent people to contact, which attracted the attention of the two people, because the combined number of these tribes exceeded 300,000, and were distributed in several countries on both sides of the Hengduan Mountains. Not only did the two of them not be able to take charge of such large-scale migration, but the existing conditions and facilities in Jinzhou and Northern Luzon could not bear such large-scale migration. Moreover, whether these tribes' large-scale migration would allow the migration place and the regional government passing by was an unknown. However, although these tribes do not belong to the same region as the Gaoyue people in Northern Luzon, they are of the same clan and clan. In the face of the other party's request, the two could not refuse, so they had to come to Qingyang together to hear the opinions of the northwest.

After listening to the introduction of the two, Xiao Tang also felt a headache. This was not a small number, hundreds of thousands of people. Once moved here, it would be enough to crush the entire Northwest government and the local governments in Northern Luzon, and it would even be likely to inspire conflicts and conflicts between residents of other races and residents of Gaoyue.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Tang's face gradually became heavier, and after a while, he spoke, "I wonder what the two elders think about this?"

After exchanging glances with each other, Kapok and Shiliu felt that it was difficult to answer. There were many questions involved. Originally, under the constraints of the Northwest government, residents of other local ethnic groups had gradually become friendly with the Gaoyue people, but no one had any idea of ​​how the situation would change with such a large-scale abortion. Moreover, once these people arrived and saw the conditions enjoyed by the Gaoyue residents in these places, they would have to compare themselves and would make the same request. With the current financial and material resources in the northwest, it would inevitably lead to many conflicts. But if they refused, it would lead to discord and even splitting the Gaoyue tribes, which was something that the two of them, especially Kapok, who had always taken the revival of Gaoyue people as their responsibility, would never want to see.

"Mr. Xiao, let's not hide it from you. We have discussed it for a long time on the way, but we have never discussed a way to get the best of both worlds. So the purpose of our visit to Qingyang is to ask Lord Li to consider it with you to see if there are any solutions to properly handle this matter." Jiang Shi Lao's aphrodisiac, and Kapok quietly pushed the ball to Xiao Tang.

"Haha, my opinion? If Jinzhou and Vito can bear it, I think Lord Li has no objection. Of course, even if he wants to move in, he must have a proper and comprehensive plan, otherwise it will inevitably cause many troubles." Xiao Tang smiled slightly and agreed openly.

Kapok shook his head solemnly, "Mr. Xiao, it is probably difficult for the local governments of Jinzhou and Vito to support it. We have consulted the opinions of Lords James and Mu Haoran. They both said they were unable to solve this matter, so we came to Qingyang."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Tang was also considering that such a straightforward rejection was of course inappropriate. Not only would it leave a shadow on the two people in front of him, but Lord Li also had a deep thought and a broad vision. It would definitely not be in line with his style of losing the support of the Gaoyue people in the central and southern Hengduan Mountains. It was just that how to win the other party's favor and be realistic requires careful consideration.

"Well, two elders, these larger tribes now mainly live in that area. Which country is under the jurisdiction of?" Xiao Tang asked softly.

"Most of them are distributed in hilly areas on both sides of the central and southern Hengduan Foothills, and a few live in plains and valleys near the foothills. The areas they live in belong to the Pasha Kingdom, Myanmar, and several small countries and city-states near the southern end of the Hengduan Mountains." Kapok replied.

"Oh? Myanmar?" Xiao Tang's heart moved slightly, "And the Pasha Kingdom? Are those small countries and city-states the countries and city-states close to the southern channel of the mainland?"

After hearing Xiao Tang's question in detail, Kapok and Shi Liu were stunned. Shi Liu quickly continued to speak and added: "Yes, we don't know whether it is the countries and city-states you mentioned near the southern passage, but it is indeed at the southernmost end of the Hengduan Mountains."

"Then how many Gaoyue people live in the Myanmar region now?" Xiao Tang obviously became interested in the Gaoyue people in the Myanmar region, and asked more carefully. His keen sense of smell has always been his strength.
