Li Hao stood up and walked slowly in the hall to ponder. After a moment, he said lightly: "For dealing with this group of indigenous people, we should be more polite and then soldiers. The fastest update is available."

Cui Peng hurriedly asked: "Prince, please forgive me for being stupid and stupid. How can I be polite first and then soldiers?"

Li Hao said: "This matter is quite complicated. I need to plan carefully and talk about it after I settle down."

Although Cui Peng was anxious, he was not easy to ask, so he could only give in: "Yes."

Li Hao can see from his expression that Cui Peng is indeed determined to do something practical for the people and the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately he has limited abilities. In fact, no one is born with lack of ability. The reason why Cui Peng is like this is the consequence of studying hard. Like some Confucian ministers in the court, he cannot learn and apply it. His thoughts are restricted and confined. He always wants to find solutions from books. How is this possible?

Fortunately, Li Hao felt that Cui Peng was not poisoned too deeply, and he should be saved. As long as he enlightened and trained him, he might be able to achieve great enlightenment.

The ones who should ask were almost the same, so Cui Peng sent someone to prepare for the dinner.

The next morning, Cui Peng took Li Hao to Qiongzhou in person and came to a small village fifteen miles south of Qiongzhou City. This village had basically become ruins. There was a big house in the village, and this house was the mansion arranged by Cui Peng for Li Hao.

Li Hao looked at the abandoned village and looked at the house with his eyebrows twitching. Although the house had been repaired, it still looked very lol, which was completely inferior to his residence in Lantian. The most important thing is that this house was not in the city. What the hell is this abandoned village?

You know, this place is different from Lantian, this place is Qiongnanye, which is very chaotic, and the indigenous people may come to kill him at any time.

"Is this the palace you prepared for me?" Li Hao pointed to the house in front of him and asked with a very bad face.

Cui Peng was embarrassed: "Prince forgives the crime. Qiongnan is really... Alas, it's too simple. Apart from this big mansion, there is really no place for the prince to make the mansion. The prince rests assured that the official has already sent someone to repair the house and clean it up. The prince can go in and take a look."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "No matter what, you tell me first, how did this house be vacant?"

"This..." Cui Peng suddenly seemed to eat two kilograms of hot cakes when he heard this, with a bitter face. After a long time of stuttering, "Go back to the prince, this place was originally a large village, but later it was looted by the indigenous people and many people died. The villagers and the original owner naturally withdrew to the city. It was also since then that most of the villages in Qiongnan were removed. Now there are only villages near Yazhou. After all, indigenous people dare not go there."

"Oh, you're really good." Li Hao smiled and said, "In such a dangerous place, why would you feel at ease if you let me live here?"

When Cui Peng heard this, cold sweat suddenly oozed out of his forehead. He was helpless because he couldn't find any house, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Prince forgives the crime, and the subordinates are helpless. Besides, the prince can recruit more guards to protect the safety of the royal palace. Qiongzhou is only ten miles away from here. I believe that even if the indigenous people attack, as long as the prince's troops can last for a while, Qiongzhou soldiers can come to support immediately."

Li Hao suddenly lit his eyes when he heard this. He thought of one thing, that is, he could use the excuse of protecting his own safety to collect troops and train them into special forces or Xuanjia Army. Moreover, this idea was not what he said, but was proposed by Cui Peng. At that time, he would recruit people in a big way, so Cui Peng would not report this matter to the court. Besides, even if it was reported, he would have sufficient reasons.

So Li Hao's eyes rolled and asked, "How many people are there when those indigenous people are usually dispatched?"

Cui Peng said: "There are many native people coming to Qiongzhou to rob, usually around 10,000, and at most 15,000 people."

Li Hao frowned and asked, "Then tell me, how many hospital guards do I need to prepare to recruit to resist the indigenous people?"

"This..." Cui Peng hesitated for a while after hearing this, and said, "Go back to the prince, if you are a rank of officials, you will need at least 5,000 people. However, you are especially good at fighting, so two or three thousand people are enough."

Li Hao was secretly happy when he heard this, two or three thousand, how many people do you have? But of course, the more people, the better. Li Hao waved his hand and said, "I am afraid of death the most. I must recruit five thousand divisions. This matter will be left to you."

"Ah?" Cui Peng asked in surprise when he heard this, "Let the officials summon troops for the prince?"

"No?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "I promised in advance that I want young people, preferably between fifteen and twenty years old, and at most not more than twenty-five years old. Also, do not have physical disabilities or hidden diseases. Although my requirements are a little harsh, my king's treatment is very high. All divisions have a monthly salary of 500 yuan, and it will increase every year in the future. The increase depends on their performance."

"But..." Cui Peng said in a daze, "But this does not comply with the laws of the court, five thousand people! These are not five hundred people!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "I also know that this does not comply with the laws of the court. Isn't there any way to do it? And you proposed the method of summoning the troops. Otherwise, I will wait for the indigenous people to come here to cut off my head. What do you think?"

"This..." Cui Peng almost wanted to cry. What was he saying? It was really hard for him to deal with. He suddenly regretted why he was talking nonsense and recruiting a guard.

Seeing Cui Peng's aggrieved look, Li Hao waved his hand and said calmly: "Okay, I'll follow the power of things urgently. In an extraordinary period, you have to use extraordinary methods. You should do what I said. At that time, whether to report it truthfully or not, you can do it yourself. Anyway, I don't want to be cut off by the natives. Even if the emperor blames it, there is nothing I can do."

"Or..." Cui Peng asked in a tentative tone, "Prince, why don't you... report it?"

Li Hao was secretly happy when he heard this. This old boy finally got a little enlightened and no longer had that stubborn mind.

Li Hao pretended to think about it and said, "Then don't report it. If you report it, I'm afraid you and I will cause trouble."

"Yes! The official understands." Cui Peng nodded helplessly. He kept comforting himself in his heart, "It's not a big deal. The prince recruited more troops to resist the barbarians. It's not a big deal. If you don't report it, you won't report it..." He felt like he had done something wrong.

"Okay, now you can go into the house and take a look." After Li Hao said that, he took the lead in walking towards this old house.

This is a house with three yards. It is big enough for ordinary merchants, but it is too small for Li Hao today. Fortunately, it has been repaired and cleaned, otherwise Li Hao would definitely turn his head and leave.

After seeing the house, Li Hao nodded and said, "I will live here with grievances for the time being. When I am idle, I will choose a new location to build the royal palace."

Cui Peng didn't say much, and he had nothing to say. He was the King of Qiongnan and was rich. He wanted to build a royal palace on his fiefdom. Do he dare to talk?

From that day on, Li Hao started moving. Because Li Hao had too many things, three days later, all his luggage was moved over and placed in place.

Cui Peng's work efficiency this time was good. All five thousand pieces had been summoned and sent to Li Hao. Li Hao sent Pei Miao and several doctors accompanying him to check the body of all the pieces and confirmed that they were in good health. Then Li Hao praised Cui Peng with a rare chance.

Now, Li Hao has settled in An'nan Qiong's house. Next, it is time to solve the problem of indigenous people. That night, Li Hao went to the Yazhou Governor's Office to meet Cui Peng and asked him to help arrange it. He wanted to meet the five tribal leaders who were more friendly to the Tang Dynasty.

Cui Peng immediately sent someone to make arrangements. Five days later, Cui Peng came to Li Hao's house in person and said that everything was ready, but the meeting was in Ziliu Tribe.

Li Hao frowned when he heard this. Cui Peng had only such a little ability to do things. He actually set the meeting place in the indigenous tribe. Although the Ziliu tribe had a relatively friendly relationship with the Tang Dynasty, since it was about talking about things, of course it was better to take advantage of the home court. As the dignified King of Qiongnan, he ran to the territory of the natives to talk to others about things. What is this called a matter? It is a great deterioration of King of Qiongnan.

But Li Hao was helpless, just go there, who told me to meet such a person with low ability to do things?

Li Hao brought two hundred special forces to the Ziliu tribe. The Ziliu tribe is two hundred miles southeast of Qiongzhou, and later it is a endless mountain. Today, there are many people in the Ziliu tribe, because the leaders of the other four tribes have also come. These leaders will naturally bring a lot of people to ensure their safety.

The meeting was in a hall of the Ziliu tribe. This is a wooden house with a large space. The bottom of the house was covered with wooden stakes, which were more than one meter high from the ground. This kind of wooden house is common in tropical areas. Because it is built off the ground, it can effectively defend against many poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

Li Hao pushed the door and entered the wooden house. He saw several seats in the hall, and there were people sitting on the seats. Needless to think about it, these people were the leaders of major tribes.

The main position was still empty, and it was obvious that this was left for him. Although this place was the territory of the Ziliu tribe, these tribes had a friendly relationship with the Tang Dynasty. The more friendly they were, the more they understood. The more they understood the power of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty seemed to be bullied by the natives in Qiongnan, they knew that it was because the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to the land of Qiongnan at all. Once it angered the Emperor of Tang and sent heavy troops to come, their tribes could only crawl on the ground and tremble. Since Li Hao was named King of Qiongnan by the Emperor of Tang, he could be said to be the master of Qiongnan, so this main position would naturally be left to Li Hao.

As soon as Li Hao entered the door, the five leaders stood up and saluted: "Greetings to King Qiongnan!"

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Dear leaders, please don't give me a gift."
