Fu Song

265 Union
The Wang family in Bangzhou was exterminated, and the head of Wang Li was widely spread, and there were more than [-] Jilin states under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou, and the southwest was shocked.

If it is said that Sandu, Dushan, Xunzhou, and Nanping Prefecture were revoked from their status as custodians and became the Tianwu Army, and the chiefs of these tribes, large and small, have not felt a personal threat, then the Wang family, which is the most powerful in the south of Qian Under Xiao Cheng's attack, the fact that it disappeared in just half a month finally made these lords on the cutting side feel scared.

Comparing their strength with Wang's, they suddenly found that if they were attacked, they would be defeated even faster.

The only way to fight Xiao Cheng is to unite all Jimi states.

But there is a problem here.

In the past, there was no external threat, and everyone competed for interests. You beat me, I beat you. Many people even forged blood feuds. When they met, they would fight to the death. How do you let everyone unite with peace of mind?They are really forcibly kneaded together, don't you worry about the enemy stabbing you in the back?
At a time when the custodians were thinking about things and couldn't agree on what to do, Xiao Cheng's invitation letter was also delivered.

Qianzhou signed Xiao Cheng and invited everyone to go to Bangzhou to discuss major issues.

Seeing the several signatures on the invitation, these lords finally gave up their will to resist.

Because besides Xiao Cheng's signature on this invitation, there are Sizhou Tianchou and Bozhou Yangqing.

The two magistrates of Sizhou and Bozhou, who are also the heads of the two families, even went to Bangzhou in person.

What else is there to say?

Giving you an invitation card is to reward you with face. If you really want to show shame, the next moment, I'm afraid there will be an army on the scene.If these lords are still unconvinced to Xiao Cheng who represents the imperial court, but they respect and fear the two patriarchs of Sizhou and Bozhou.

Because the imperial court sometimes insists on a little bit of rules, there are often officials who loudly call for these detainees to be influenced by virtue, and if they cannot move, they will be threatened by force, and the appeal of force is often that they pay more and get less, and almost always lose money. Business.The officials of Song Dynasty, without exception, are very sensitive to this.

But the Yang family and the Tian family are different.

If you offend them, they really won't take revenge overnight.

It's just that these lords find it difficult to understand that, like them, the Yang family and the Tian family are all lords of a separate regime, and they are the local emperors in their own territory. They can do whatever they want and no one dares to control them.The laws of the Song Dynasty are just a piece of waste paper on their territory. Why do these two families dig their own corners?

Xiao Cheng really turned these dozens of Jimi states into an iron plate, and Xiao Cheng deprived them of all their rights. How can there be Tian family and Yang family in the future?

I'm afraid that they will be cleaned up next time, right?

No matter how puzzled these people are, but now, the form is stronger than the people, the two families have teamed up with Xiao Cheng, if they don't come, they will kill themselves.

When dozens of lords, large and small, brought their own guards, trembling and cautiously marched towards Bangzhou, the central figures in their discussion, Tian Chou and Yang Qing, had already arrived in Bangzhou.

The two big families of Bozhou and Sizhou have controlled Bozhou and Sizhou for longer than the time of the founding of the Song Dynasty, and they are serious and powerful families.

But it is also such a big family, because they stand tall, they can see farther.

And the big family that is too old, what brings them is not more powerful, but because of the luxuriant branches and leaves, too many roots, they are faced with a lot of problems, and many seemingly small problems, if one is not careful, it will be a big problem. It will affect the trunk, the dike of a thousand miles, and be destroyed by an ant nest. Naturally, they can't understand this truth.

What worries them even more is that as the Song Dynasty ruled for longer and longer, the silent infiltration of the Song Dynasty has infiltrated the two places. The control of the land will be further reduced.

In recent decades, more and more people have gone out from Bozhou and Sizhou to become officials of the Song Dynasty.

These people going out are not the help of the Tian and Yang families. On the contrary, they are the biggest enemies of the Tian and Yang families. What most of these people going out want to do is to abolish the rule of these two families The privilege of broadcasting and thinking states.

Outsiders can't see it, but as the head of the family, Tian Chou and Yang Qing already feel the imminent crisis.

Maybe a few years later, maybe ten years, maybe a little longer, the crisis in Banzhou and Sizhou will inevitably erupt. It depends on the wisdom of the head of the family to delay a little longer, but the crisis will not be eliminated.

The two Patriarchs have long been trying their best to eliminate such a crisis.

But under the general environment, the two found that they had nowhere to start.

Compared with the two of them, Da Song is really too powerful.

Not to mention the entire Song Dynasty court, even Li Fang, a transfer envoy from Kuizhou Road, if they really wanted to turn their faces, they would be able to bear it.

In recent years, as the imperial court has strengthened its rule over Jinghu Road and other places, these places are slowly becoming the granaries of the Song Dynasty and becoming more and more important places in the Song Dynasty. Tang's power was completely wiped out by the imperial court, like Mu Zhan and Bian Yao became bereaved dogs, and Yuzang Huama directly became the court's thugs. Tian Chou and Yang Qing's thoughts became more and more urgent.

They vaguely discovered that a huge encirclement was forming.

Perhaps this was not intentional by those in power, but such a large strategic drawing still makes them feel suffocated.

It was in such a situation of eager to solve the long-term crisis of the family that Tian Chou noticed the Xiao family.

The rapid growth of Xiao Ding's strength in the northwest is too eye-catching, even if he is blindfolded, he can still see his shining light through his fingers.

Tian Chou sent someone to the northwest to get to know Xiao Ding.

This time, it will be a disaster to find out.

Xiao Ding is in the northwest, almost the second Li Xu.And he is stronger than Li Xu, because he regained the Hengshan party, because he defeated Qingtang Tubo, and now his power is still advancing strongly towards the Western Regions.

After careful investigation, the Tian family finally discovered the vague shadow hidden behind Xiao Ding.

Xiao Cheng.

Just when Tian Chou, Yang Qing and others were discussing the Xiao family's success model in the northwest, Xiao Cheng arrived in Qianzhou.

The eyes of the two Patriarchs immediately lit up.

The Xiao family can advance westward, but the Tian family and the Yang family are not without room for development!
There are nearly [-] Jilin states in Qianzhou, thousands of miles of land, and millions of people. These are all things that can be imagined. If they can control this vast land like Xiao Ding, what crisis will the two families face? , it can be easily solved.

The reason why they didn't dare to do this before was because the imperial court took them very seriously!
Guarding both Sizhou and Bozhou is taboo. If he dares to use troops to expand his territory, wouldn't the court find an excuse to use troops against him?

But now that Xiao Cheng is here, it's different.

As soon as Xiao Cheng arrived and made contact with them for a while, the two families were overjoyed. Xiao Cheng, who signed the judgment, was indeed unwilling to be lonely, and what Xiao Cheng planned was much bigger than what they thought.

To be honest, Tian Chou and Yang Qing are still skeptical about the prospect that Xiao Cheng painted. The cake is too big for them to believe.

But this does not prevent them from cooperating with Xiao Cheng.

The first step is to knead the entire Southwest into a whole.

What Xiao Cheng wants as a whole is not limited to Qianzhou.

Instead, it will continue to explore indefinitely to the south.

Just like his big brother did in the Northwest.

Thus, the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce was formed.Just like Hengshan Commerce is Xiao Ding's organization to control the major forces in the Northwest and mediate conflicts between all parties, the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce has exactly the same function as it.

Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce has three major shareholders.

Xiao Cheng, the Yang family, and the Tian family's three forces accounted for more than [-]% of the shares of the Qianzhou Federation of Commerce.The rest is naturally reserved for the lords, large and small, in Qianzhou.

In the eyes of the Yang family and the Tian family, it is not necessary whether these people exist or not. They are only qualified to be thugs and receive a salary. If they are not convinced, they will be killed.

I didn't dare to fight before, because I was afraid of attracting the attention of the court, and if I did it, I would get burned. Now that Xiao Cheng, the authentic Qianzhou signing judge, is acting on behalf of the court, it is naturally very different.

But Xiao Cheng firmly disagreed.

"Under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou, dozens of different tribes are distributed on this vast land, but they are in constant contact with each other. Too much killing can easily lead to too much hatred." On the platform on the third floor of the Wang family mansion, holding an exquisite teacup, Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "If you pay a small benefit, you can make everyone work together, why bother to make swords drawn? Killing chickens is just to scare monkeys , don’t kill all the monkeys!”

"What the signing judge said is very true! I was thinking about it!" Tian Chou said with a smile. "Once the joint meeting is held this time, everyone will be a family. If you don't hear about it in the future, it's best to be an expert."

"That's right, these people are honest this time, no one dares to shirk, if there are really ignorant people, I think it's okay to kill a few more chickens!" The Yang family continued.

Tian Chou is in his early forties, Yang Qing is older, already over fifty, but the three of them are sitting together, but the eighteen-year-old Xiao Cheng is the leader, which can be seen from the attitudes of the three of them.

Such a position can be achieved, firstly, because of the power of the Xiao family that Xiao Cheng relies on behind him, and secondly, more importantly, because of the ability that Xiao Cheng himself has demonstrated.Less than a year after arriving in Qianzhou, Xiao Cheng has turned Qianzhou upside down.

Don't look at anything else, just look at the thousand so-called Xiang troops brought by Han Kai.

When they arrived in Bangzhou, the two patriarchs really understood the relationship between Tianwu Army Yang Wanfu and others and Xiao Cheng.

For a long time, people are also a family.

"Yes, we will be a family from now on!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Next, we have to take it easy. To be honest, our family is too poor and wants to do big things, but we don't have the capital. We must plan carefully for the future." Let’s make some money here.”

"Signing the judgment, my Tian family and the Yang family still have some savings. If these clan and cave masters force you, it's no problem for each family to hold tens of thousands or even more." Yang Qing said with a smile: "A few million guan are easy Then you can get started, and then you can make some big moves."

"It's better to do less of such things!" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "I want to hold this joint meeting as a united meeting, a successful meeting, and definitely not a blackmailing meeting. Two patriarchs, at this meeting, we will deprive many patriarchs and cave masters of their privileges, if we rob them of their money, we will really turn against each other."

"But after signing the judgment, we gave them the shares of the Chamber of Commerce. In the long run, what they can earn is the small profits just now?"

"More people see the petty profits in front of them. How many people can see people decades later like the two Patriarchs?" Xiao Cheng praised the two and said: "So , we can't do this. And the two Patriarchs, even if we unite the forces in the entire region, it's just a forced kneading, and it's far from being able to command and command as one! It will take time to settle , to operate. What we plan is a century-old plan, and we must not mess with it."

"Signing judge is reasonable!" Yang Qingdao: "But Patriarch Tian is only in his early forties, Xiao's signing judge is only eighteen, and Yang is already in his early fifties with gray hair. It's been too long, I I'm afraid I won't see it. I'm not going to hide it from you two, the next generation of the Yang family can't find a successor that satisfies me all of a sudden, so I'm anxious to get things done!"

"Patriarch Yang is worrying too much, I think Yang Quan is quite calm!" Tian Chou said with a smile: "After a few years of experience, he will come out naturally."

"I didn't see this kid before, so I left him in Pengshui, wasting it, but because he has been away from the family for many years, his strength in the family has been weaker!" Yang Qing sighed: "There are still disputes in the family!"

Naturally, Xiao Cheng and Tian Chou would not talk too much about other people's family affairs, but when it came time to fight for power within the Yang family, they would naturally support Yang Quan without hesitation.

"Integrate business routes, unify taxes and fees, unify the army, and count the number of people." Taking a sip of tea, Xiao Cheng said: "I'm afraid it will take one to two years to complete this. When doing these things, we must Let the people on this land see the benefits, get benefits, be able to eat enough, wear warm clothes, and have extra money in their hands. Two, this is the foundation of our foothold. If we can’t benefit people, why should they Do you want to follow us? Force deterrence is just a bad policy, it can only be an aid. It is reasonable to want to convince people and make this place rich. To be honest, this place is too poor. The two Patriarchs are your rulers. Now, those ordinary people are too poor."

Tian Chou and Yang Qing's faces flushed slightly.
