Liu Chang nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, but the geographical location of Dian Kingdom is very important, it is an important part connecting Bashu, Changsha, and even Nanyue. The entire south is the key to Huainan... Even the development of the southern part of the Han Dynasty in the future depends on here... Therefore, I am ready to vigorously develop Dian Kingdom."

"I have ordered that Shu, Changsha and Nanyue will open up the road with Dian Kingdom... This place is used as a transit for various places. In addition, I am planning to build a new city here..."

Chang Liu talked about his grand development plan.

The geniuses listened carefully, and Chen Mai asked: "King, does Dian Kingdom have enough manpower to do this?"

Guan A immediately said, "The king has a good idea, but the Dian Kingdom has always been sparsely populated. Not only Dian Kingdom, but also Changsha and Nanyue, the population is far less than that of the north."

"If you want to handle it as the king wants, manpower is probably the biggest problem."

After the two of them spoke, Xuan Moru said, "In fact, there is no shortage of manpower in the north now. For example, Liang, Qi, Nanjun and other places, there are more household registrations than before. Many people in the city are almost unable to squeeze out and can only expand... On the contrary, many counties and states in the south have seriously insufficient manpower... In recent years, the household registrations in the north of the Han Dynasty have been migrating to Yan, Tang, Hexi and other places..."

"On the one hand, it is because of the power of Liu Gong, and on the other hand, it is because the land is vast and sparsely populated... If we want to move to the south, it will not work... Hexi, Shuofang, Liaodong and other places are also lacking in manpower. The people would rather go here than go south..."

Liu Chang gently stroked his beard, and was also thinking about this issue.

Zhou Shengzhi said: "Your Majesty... There are many Qiang people outside Bashu and Yunnan. Can they catch Qiang people to the Dian Kingdom..."

"No, there are not many Qiang people, and it is useless to bring all Qiang people to Dian Kingdom. Besides, Hexi is still preparing to absorb Qiang people..."

The geniuses started a heated discussion. Those unreasonable and unreliable geniuses were finally qualified to solve their confusion for Chang Liu.

Not to mention anything else, Zhou Shengzhi's idea is somewhat the same as Liu Chang, but Liu Chang wanted to capture the Qiang people.

Liu Chang said seriously: "I sent Xiao Yan to Dian Kingdom this time because I have an important instructed to send envoys to the west of Dian Kingdom... I heard that there are many people there... just in time to catch them!"

Chen Mai cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette. How can we arrest people like the Huns? We should migrate their people, let them enjoy your kindness and educate their people..."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I want to say!"

Liu Chang clapped his hands and shouted.

Zhou Shengzhi frowned. He remembered an important person and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, can you invite that Zhao Mei here? He has lived in Nanyue for a long time and may be familiar with the Dian Kingdom. If there were barbarian tribes outside the Dian Kingdom, he would definitely know."

Zhao Mei did not belong to the group of wise men, but Chang Liu sent someone to invite him over.

Zhao Mei was still honored to be able to participate in the gathering of the sages.

However, as soon as he came in, facing the eyes of so many people, Zhao Mei also carefully returned the gift. After all, he knew what kind of virtues these people are.

Qunxian is very xenophobic. Even Chai Qi, who is very close to Qunxian, is not accepted by them, let alone Zhao Mei.

He said seriously: "Beyond Dian Kingdom, there is a Chenli. There are many tribes here fighting against each other. They are the masters of farming and know how to send envoys. They have sent envoys to the South Vietnam Kingdom to exchange things with us... It is said that there are great countries in the north of Chenli, but we have never sent anyone to it, so we don't know... Chenli people have many slaves, and every time they go out to trade, they like to sell those slaves..."

"The slaves are dark-skinned and completely different from ours, even if they are different from the Huns..."

"We don't know where they came from so many slaves... My father once speculated that there might be many savage tribes west of Chenli, so they could catch so many slaves..."

Zhao Mei's words shocked Liu Chang. He frowned, not knowing what he was recalling again.

But Qunxian seemed a little excited. Xiahou Zhao couldn't help laughing. He said, "Your Majesty!! I am willing to go with Xiao Yan and go here to check the situation!"

"no."

Liu Chang directly rejected him, "The war here is mostly mainly mountainous, which is different from the battle in the Central Plains... It just so happened that the southwestern barbarians that I had recovered in Bashu were most suitable for fighting under this terrain. There were weapons provided by the Han Dynasty. They could easily defeat any enemy in the mountains..."

"Then why can Xiao Yan go? It's not that I look down on him, but that Xiao Yan is not as good as me in wars, and his strategy is not as good as me... It's better to let me go to Dian Kingdom!"

Xiahou Zao said loudly.

Fan Kang shook his head, "If you say that his martial arts skills are not as good as you, I will endure it. His strategy is not as good as you? This is too humiliating... Anyone, his strategy must surpass you."

Xiao Yan didn't feel angry. He said happily: "I listen to the king...Your Majesty's."

Liu Chang glanced at Xiahou Zao, "I won't do anything randomly... The situation in Dian Kingdom is complicated. What can be done here is a calm person like Xiao Yan... If you ask you to go, within a month, Dian Kingdom will be destroyed by you..."

The marquis of Dian Kingdom were used to undermining the king and living freely, so Liu Chang gave them a prime minister who was easily fooled by undermining the king. This prime minister was generous and slow, so that those marquis did not have to experience unnecessary struggles... Moreover, although Xiao Yan was slow, he was not unable to do things.

"Work hard, if you can manage the Dian Kingdom well, the entire southern region will benefit... I will let you serve as the Prime Minister of the Han Kingdom!!"

Liu Chang smiled and drew a big cake.
