Chapter 132 The Development of Southwest Yi

In the Dali Palace, deep in a palace, Emperor Duan Zhengchun put down the teacup with a little sad expression. In the room, two men in black looked at Duan Zhengchun with a solemn expression.

Duan Zhengchun sighed and then slowly spoke.

"You go to Kaifeng Mansion overnight and must report this matter as soon as possible!"

Two men in black agreed with fists and turned around and left.

Seeing the man in black leave, Duan Zhengchun's melancholy did not decrease, but instead became more and more intense!

Two men in black changed into fast horses late at night and were about to gallop away, but not far from the palace, two crossbow arrows in the dark were shot out.

The two of them were obviously not ordinary people. One shouted loudly and dodged, while the other quickly drew out a long sword from his waist and slashed the crossbow arrow!

One of them shouted at the other.

"My palace queen, you go quickly and you must send the news!"

After saying that, he rushed into the woods first. The other man didn't hesitate at all. Then he shouted loudly and patted the horse's butt with the back of the knife. The horse was frightened and rushed to the distance quickly.

But obviously, these were all futile. Before the man in black who rushed into the woods saw the enemy, his head was cut off with a knife. The headless corpse shook on the horse's back a few times and then fell to the ground.

The other man, who had just rushed out less than a hundred meters, saw a black shadow rushing out from beside him, raised his palm and slashed at his chest.

The man was shocked and raised his long sword and wanted to resist it, but it was too late. The palm print quickly hit his chest. The man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground and died!

A group of black figures flashed quickly in the darkness, without any communication, and quickly dealt with the scene.

A black figure found a secret letter from a man's arms, then looked at the underground corpse, snorted coldly, and turned around and left.

Chen Can yawned, took Abi's long legs away from his waist, and gently moved Azhu's hand away from his chest, and got up lazy between the two girls.

Abi murmured and opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing Chen Can get up and was about to get up to serve him, Chen Can waved his hand and smiled and asked her to continue sleeping for a while.

Chen Can walked out of the room and saw two black veil women standing at the door, then he spoke lightly.

"Tell me!"

A woman in black veil quickly reported.

"Last night, Duan Zhengchun secretly met with the people from the Great Song Imperial City Department, and the news has been intercepted by his subordinates!"

Chen Can sneered and said lightly.

"It seems Duan Zhengchun has noticed it!"

The woman in black veil hesitated for a moment and then asked carefully.

"Chief, should we attack Duan of Dali?"

Chen Can shook his head and said.

"The time is not yet ripe. Once we attack Dali, Dasong will definitely know and will send troops without hesitation!"

After Chen Can finished speaking, he sighed deeply, time, what he needs most now is time!

The Imperial City Office of the Song Dynasty was a spy agency in the Song Dynasty, responsible for monitoring all officials and spying on intelligence, similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Imperial City Department is far less powerful than the Jinyiwei, and has a low presence and is basically active in the capital. However, Dali is a border country after all, so it is normal to have a secret contact base of the Imperial City Department.

However, after several months, the members of the Song Dynasty's secret spies in Dali City were basically removed!

After nearly seven months of layout and attack, Lingjiu Palace has now become the largest force in the area in the southwest Yi, destroying sixteen cities one after another. Many local forces that have been entrenched for hundreds of years have been killed by Chen Can.

.

In addition, those who are obedient are to use the life and death talisman to control their leaders, and to control the local economy in a semi-forced and semi-cooperated manner.

With such a big move by Lingjiu Palace, it is impossible for Dali Kingdom to know that its surrounding forces have changed.

The Southwest Yi was sandwiched between the Song Dynasty and Dali, and most of the forces of the Lingjiu Palace were close to Dali and Dayue. The purpose of this was to prevent the Song Dynasty from conscious of the intentions of the Lingjiu Palace.

Fortunately, information circulation is indeed very slow in this era, and 99% of the people only live within a radius of ten kilometers.

The southwest Yi was originally a barbarian land with poor mountains and rivers, and was not valued in the Song Dynasty.

With Chen Can intentionally covered up, more than half a year has passed. Except for Dali, Da Song is unaware of this!

However, as Lingjiu Palace began to control the local economy and gradually affected the territory of Dali, the Duan family of Dali finally realized a little crisis.

Dali first sent a large number of spies to investigate, but most of these spies were killed, and a small number of them learned the truth. They returned to Dali to report to the current Dali Emperor Duan Zhengchun!

Duan Zhengchun was worried when he learned that there was a mysterious force around him suddenly rising. He saw from the intelligence that this force had a large number of martial arts masters and acted ruthlessly. He had already massacred the city in the southwest Yi several times. Such a crossing river dragon, Dali

It must be prevented.

Moreover, as more and more news came back from spies, the ambitions of this force finally emerged. The other party controlled a large number of cities and promoted the capital, and there was a vague trend of establishing a regime.

As soon as he learned the news, Duan Zhengchun was about to send the news to the Song Dynasty.

But Chen Can has been preventing Dali from doing this. Not only did he install a large number of spies in the palace, but he also arranged a large number of people in the official roads and post stations of Dali and the Song Dynasty. Once there are letters and other items to go to the Song Dynasty,

All intercepted!

In the past six months, the connection between Dali and the Song Dynasty has been almost cut off, just to prevent Dali from rumoring the news!

The relationship between Dali and the Song Dynasty is similar to the affiliated relationship, but it is two independent countries. Dali and the Song Dynasty were ruled by the river. The two sides got along well over the years.

For hundreds of years, due to inconvenient transportation and complex local forces, the Southwest Yi has always been independent of Dali and outside the Song Dynasty.

Now, the southwest barbarians are vaguely unifying. Once this news spreads, the Song Dynasty will definitely intervene forcibly!

The Song Dynasty seems very weak, but in terms of military affairs, it has always been very strong, commonly known as the love for face. Its number of soldiers has been maintained by millions. Although the army has repeatedly failed and fought, it has never stopped showing off to the outside world in recent years.

muscle.

If Da Song knew that there was another powerful force around him, he would definitely be eliminated in the bud!

Although Dali Kingdom seems to have a weak sense of existence in the Tianlong world, its power cannot be underestimated. Its land area is 720,000 square kilometers, its population is millions, and its army is nearly 100,000. For example, the Lingjiu Palace is still strong today.

too much.

If the Song Dynasty sends troops again, Chen Can will be defeated by attacking both sides!

After more than half a year of development, the land area controlled by Lingjiu Palace is now about 60,000 square kilometers, and the population under his rule is about one million. He bought thousands of horses from the Western Regions, armed a three thousand cavalry, and an infantryman.

He and other miscellaneous soldiers had nearly 8,000, with a total force of more than 10,000.

These three thousand cavalrymen are the original elites of Lingjiu Palace, and the Western Regions people recruited in Tianshan City. They are also the only aces in Chen Can!

These troops seem to be quite a lot, but the infantry were forced to be recruited, and there were also a large number of people from the martial arts world. The discipline was scattered and the cohesion was far inferior to that of the real army.

Chen Can is not short of money or land now, the only thing he lacks is time!

The southwestern Yi has inconvenient transportation and is full of primitive jungles. Often within a few hundred kilometers, there are only one or two cities, and most of the population remains hidden in the vast primitive jungle.

He needs time to integrate today's land and population resources, train the army with peace of mind, develop the economy, and open up trade routes!

What Chen Can lacks the most now is time. In the past six months, Chen Can has not forgotten to develop local agriculture, commerce, education and other industries except for fighting!

Regarding agriculture, Chen Can cite some advanced experiences in later generations, improved a large number of agricultural tools and improved seeds, and at the same time introduced a large number of seeds from the Western Regions to enrich crop varieties. In order to attract local indigenous people to go down the mountain to open up land and farm, Chen Can adopted a tax exemption for three years.

, a policy of halving in seven years.

In order to support these ordinary people in farming, Chen Can also purchase a large number of oxen, and each household distributes seeds, farm tools and other tools!

Attracted by such policies, a large number of natives who had been farming and hunting in the primeval forests for generations began to go down the mountain.

Chen Can also set up an admonishment team to let this group of people sneak into the mountains and forests, and use their hard work and a long knife to "invite" those natives to the mountain!

With the population, we began to build villages, build new cities, build a large number of official roads, build water conservancy facilities, and establish village, town and county systems.

In addition, there are education. There are many literati in the Northern Song Dynasty. Chen Can used money and semi-force methods to transport hundreds of down-and-out scholars through the channels of the Beggars' Gang. All of these people were scattered in various parts of the Southwest Barbarians and allowed them to start education.

Education in the entire southwest Yi region is currently free, and six years of free education is implemented. As for six years, there is no higher-level institution, because there is no imperial examination here, no junior high school, high school, or university.

Classic.

What Chen Can needs at present is to learn literacy, not to educate people, and those require time to settle down!

Of course, Chen Can also take time to write an educational history of loving leaders. Of course, this leader was not the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but Chen Can!

In order to make learning easier, Chen Can moved the pinyin to this world so that children can understand the words as soon as possible!

If it weren't for the lack of mass base now, Chen Can even wanted to make the word simplified. Unfortunately, it's not the time, so Chen Can had to give up!

Education must start with children. This is a famous saying, and Chen Can will not give up this position.

Although the territory controlled by Chen Can has not been officially named as a country, Chen Can has become a totem, and the military flag is also a dragon flag. Some people have already called it the "Dragon Country"!

Agriculture, education, and Daxing construction all require a lot of money. In order to make money, Chen Can began to vigorously support business almost immediately.

In this era, supporting commercial activities is actually very simple, because Chen Can is a modern person!

And they are modern people who travel through so many worlds!

Chen Can even relied on just a simple industry and earned more than 500,000 taels of silver in just half a year. Even after the trade routes in the Western Regions were completely opened, the profits this industry brought to him every year would be.

More than millions of taels of silver!

This industry is the sugar production industry!

The sugar in this era is very expensive. For ordinary people, caviar that is comparable to later generations can basically be bought for a few taels and tasted during festivals!
