"So what's the point? The Wuhu area has a strong conservative force. These people are obsessed with the Situ Dynasty. We don't need to accommodate them too much. Even if they are accommodated, it will be difficult to gain their support. Instead, they have provided a stage for opposing us. They may use more violent means to arouse the hatred of the lower-level landless tenant farmers and hire farmers, and incite them to take revenge against these big landlords and nobles. We allow them to drive away the big landlords and scare away. If the lower-level people who are deeply exploited by these big landlords and nobles will think of various ways to revenge wildly. Later, we just need to come forward to clean up the mess."

The thin scholar slowly stroked the beard under his jaw, and seemed to have thought about it before carefully speaking: "Of course this requires a good degree, but at least we can use the people we have arranged to provoke and incite those farmers who do not have much rationality. Isn't there any farmers spontaneously taking over the land and property? Very good. Add a fire to them to make them more trouble. We only need to protect those who loyally serve us. When things go unrest, whether it is commoners or industrial and commercial forces who stay in the local area, they will naturally panic when they see the fire begins to burn towards them, either they will turn into ashes or serve us. I believe these people are smart people and will make wise choices. By that time, it will be time for us to make a comeback."

Bi Xiao admired his teacher's methods so much that he was impressed. He took the weight lightly and said a few words to come up with a way to deal with the current unfavorable situation. He also tied one by one, and it was all in a slight way. In response to the difficult problems he was facing, Bi Xiao couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said yes.

After pondering for a while, the thin scholar said again: "However, because the threat of the Imperial Naval Fleet has not been lifted, it is not advisable to go deep into the north. The Empire's army in Wuhu Lakes is already quite weak to deal with the attack launched by Taiping Cult in the north. The northern waterways in Baling are crisscrossed and connected with Yueyang Prefecture, the capital of Wuhu County. Although there is no danger to defend, the navy can use this convenient river channel to enter and exit at will. Our navy army is still weak and cannot confront the Imperial Navy for the time being. At present, we can only rely on Baling City as the basis of defense and gradually soak in the north. Think about it, the Imperial Army can only rely on Yueyang Prefecture to take the defensive moment. It is not easy to take the defensive moment. It is just necessary to strengthen scout patrol and search to prevent small groups of enemy troops from taking the opportunity to break the attack."

"Don't worry, teacher, Bi Xiao understands this and has been arranged." Hearing the thin scholar's arrangement, Bi Xiao felt much more at ease and asked again: "How is the progress of the general?"

"It went very smoothly. The imperial army stayed on the Wuhunan Line and the troops were too weak to resist our attack. Everything was as expected. The situation there was roughly the same as here. What we need to do now is to stabilize the situation and calm the situation as much as possible to let Wen Ning and Baling accept the reality. This is the time for the people we have cultivated and developed over the past ten years to show their skills. With them, many things can be solved. It is better than us. One is from heaven and one is from earth to earth. Now the local Tang tribe is now.

Although people dare not cause trouble due to the situation, the people's hearts will not be stable over time. Therefore, it is necessary to form an autonomous government in the shortest time to form a local force attached to our own forces. Of course, this still requires waiting until those who are still illusory are forced to endanger the dead end. Therefore, what we have arranged needs to be implemented immediately. The faster the better, and the more the noise, the better." A cold smile appeared on the corner of the thin scholar's mouth. In order to achieve the necessary goals, even if the means are not so bright, it is amazing.

Looking at the city gate where the crowds of traffic were crowded, although I was prepared for it, Caron was still shocked by a big shock. Ordinary single travelers entered and exited the secondary gates on both sides of the main city gate, and the main city gates made the main passage for large caravans and carriages to enter and exit.

The inspectors were carefully checking whether the goods carried by the caravans and merchants in passing had paid taxes. The small building next to the city gate was probably the tax department's inspection agency. Although the inspectors were serious, they were still polite. As long as they did not carry prohibited items, they would only pay the tax aside even if they did not pay the tax. Of course, they would have to pay fines. The carriages entering and leaving the city gate were divided into two rows, waiting for the inspection by the inspectors to check, and everything seemed so harmonious.

Even outside the city gate was bustling with food stalls of various flavors and grocery stores. These were born to facilitate merchants and passengers entering and leaving the city early in the morning and caravan drivers and porters. There were pools of oil stars floating on the steaming mutton soup. In the tummy pot of mutton and a few big bones boiled with the soup. A large pile of thick buns were neatly arranged, golden and crisp, making people itchy, and even Caron couldn't help swallowing.

"Uncle, have some food?" Caron nodded and sat down with his companion. The enthusiastic friend immediately greeted him, "Call, what are you going to do?"

"Two bowls of mutton soup, five buns, and a plate of beef." Kalong didn't say much. His mind was completely attracted by the busy scene of people coming and going on the road. This was the case outside the city. I don't know what happened in the city? Li Wufeng really has the ability to go to heaven and earth. In just a few years, he made this desolate and barren Qingyang Mansion so prosperous?

Thinking of these questions, even the delicious beef and soup steamed buns seemed to have become less fragrant. The hunger just now disappeared with the mutton soup.

In fact, from stepping onto the northern business road of Caron, which spans the entire Tengger Grassland, I feel a different atmosphere from the past. Most of the caravans in Tanghe, silk, tea, pottery and porcelain, and soju are still the largest export materials, but it can be seen that the number of iron, grain, cotton, wool, glass and medicinal materials sold on the Tengger Grassland is gradually increasing. From west to east, the itinerary is twenty-five days. Caron made a statistics, and met 338 caravans of all sizes on the road, among which they were transported from the Tanghe Empire to Tengger.

The 252nd caravans in Li Grassland and the Western Continental region, and the 86th caravans that were surpassed by themselves in the east, the Tengli Grassland returned eastward, and the average caravans they met more than thirteen caravans every day, which was only the caravans passing through the Western Regions. With the cancellation of domestic tariffs and the reduction of external tariffs, the caravans transiting through the Western Regions have gradually replaced the mainstream role of northern trade roads. The North Luzon trade roads further south have developed rapidly. These situations are all information obtained after chatting with merchants they encountered along the road.

Caron is unknown how much transit tariffs will be brought to Luo Beiren by such a huge transaction volume, but it is certain that the benefits Luo Beiren obtained from it are definitely not just money, and many strategic materials such as iron and grain can also be continuously input along this important trade channel. But what makes Caron puzzled is that since Luo Beiren and Tang He people already have such close economic ties and are said to have formed an alliance, why did the information obtained by his own side not long ago Luo Beiren and Li Wufeng, the King of the Tang He people, fight for the Mot because of the Mot, and make a grievance? Could it be that Luo Beiren is really powerful enough to cut off their source of supplies without regard for the Northwest? Caron does not believe this speculation.

Half-day stay in Mangye Town made Kalong feel the prosperity of Qingyang again. Although it is just a market town, its liveliness is far more lively than any place along the way. The livestock trading market, leather and fur trading market and the newly opened wool trading market show the thriving vitality, which makes Kalong, who thinks he has seen the market, have to admit that the richness of the goods here is far greater than any place on the Tenggeri Grassland, and this is just a market town in Qingyang Prefecture. Of course, the geographical location of this market town is a bit special. Merchants from all over the world are bargaining here.

It can be seen that most of the merchants with a large amount of funds are Tang people, but there are still a few flexible Indians, Mots, Jelis and even merchants from Western Regions who join this rank. The merchants from all over the grassland belong to various ethnic groups. They master the first link of the acquisition by being familiar with their ethnic and tribal areas. Here, whether it is Tang people, Mots, Luobei people or merchants from Western Regions, they have forgotten their nation and origins. Only negotiations, transactions and payments are their only identity, and making money is the first.

After leaving Mangye Town, Kalong was thinking about what kind of changes would be like in Qingyang City. After more than an hour of rapid travel, he finally saw the style of Qingyang City, the capital of the northwest.

While drinking the mutton soup, Kalong thought with a casual move. The owner next to him probably saw the unusualness of these two customers. The owner of the shop with sharp eyes on the mounts alone knew that it was not ordinary people. People who lived in the northwest for a long time had a good understanding of horses. Needless to say, the customer who looked like this master was even the first-class strong horse worth at least 80 gold coins, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

He waved his hand to signal the guy to work on his own, and the shop owner ran over with his waist: "Customer, but what else do you need?"

Shaking his head, Caron pointed at the long queue of motorcades and packs and asked, "Boss, what's going on? Are there so many motorcades waiting to enter the city every day?"
