Fu Song

Chapter 441 Assimilation and Dismemberment

There are also gold selling caves in Guiyang Prefecture.

Huajianlou is the most famous one.

Jiang Jinjiu, a businessman from Liangzhe Road, has a unique vision. Everyone thinks that the newly-emerged Guiyang Prefecture can only be regarded as a poor place. When opening a gold sales cave of such a size, he must lose even his underwear. Invest heavily here.

Not to mention the ordinary oirans, there are several Yangzhou skinny horses in this Huajian Building.And each one is good at different things, some are good at dancing, some are good at melody, and some are good at poetry and singing, which makes men shy away.

These people are worth a lot of money. If you don't have dozens of dollars to meet, don't even think about it.

If you want to stay overnight, just having money is not enough, you have to be willing.

Once Huajianlou opened, it was crowded with people immediately.

People who think Guizhou roads are poor are dumbfounded.

But Jiang Jinjiu is making money.

There are so many big dogs on Guizhou Road.

These people are basically tribal leaders who used to occupy one side. As long as they see the opportunity quickly, they can basically protect themselves and their own property. The precipitation of several generations or even a dozen generations makes them Has untold wealth.

Moreover, they also took the express train of the Federation.

Many people believed in or admired Xiao Cheng, so they took part of their property and invested it in some companies of the federation. No matter what happened, they just paid dividends, and after a year, they made a lot of money.

If you have more money, you will naturally spend it.

Places like Huajianlou are their biggest gold selling caves.

Here, there are often jaw-dropping rich scenes.

Of course, it's also limited to here.

Xiao Cheng was happy to let these guys spend their money here, anyway, he imposed heavy taxes on places like Huajianlou.

The more you spend, the more Huajianlou earns, and the government gets more.

The big dog households gained face, the government gained benefits, and Huajianlou gained a reputation, which also indirectly drove the local economic development, so everyone got what they deserved.

Marcie pushed the door out, stood by the railing, stretched his waist long, looked back into the room, and saw the red sand tent full of spring, he couldn't help but smile.

What is selling art but not selling oneself?

It's just that the money is not in place.

Huajianlou, the top Qing courtier, was still taken down by him yesterday, but it only cost [-] guan.

Ten thousand, for ordinary people, I am afraid that they will not be able to earn so much in a lifetime.

For Marshall, it was considered a huge sum of money a few years ago. If he was asked to prostitute a nobleman, he would never do it. With this money, he would rather build a few more armors, some knives and guns, and some bows and crossbows. , after all, life is more valuable than enjoyment.

But now, [-] Guan is just a small amount of money to him.

In the past three years, the Mahu Department has made a lot of money by raising large livestock.

Cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, etc., the Mahu Department, which is not good at farming but good at breeding, sells their cattle and horses to Guizhou Road, basically selling as much as they have.

In particular, the price of horses that can be used as war horses has remained high.

The war horses produced in Xuzhou look unattractive. Compared with the tall horses in the north, they are not worth mentioning. I am afraid they are a little smaller. But this kind of horse has an advantage that the northern horses can't match, that is, the endurance is amazing .

Northern horses are suitable for short-distance sprints, while Syrian horses are best for long-distance raids.

More importantly, the horses in Syria are Jingcao, unlike northern horses, which are somewhat too delicate.

A war horse, now in Guiyang, would sell for hundreds of guan.

Moreover, it was only this year that they started to be sold on the market. In the past, they were all subsidized by the government.

The six forbidden troops on Guizhou Road needed a large number of war horses, because according to the intention of the appeasement envoy Xiao Cheng and Xiao Futai, each cavalry soldier in the army must have at least two war horses.

As soon as this requirement is made, the cavalry of the six armies will need at least tens of thousands of horses to meet the requirement.

Although it was a collective purchase, it was still the Mahu Department and the Nanguang Department that made a fortune.

Especially the patriarchs of the two tribes made a lot of money.

Because all war horse transactions are controlled by them.

Ma Xie is now devoted to Xiao Cheng.

Originally, with Xiao Cheng's current strength, he forced the Mahu Department to pay tribute to Guizhou Road every year. He never dared to say a word, and would just obediently offer the horse.

Witnessing Luo Piao's demise and Wu Dabang's death in battle, Marshall has already suffered from Guizhou road phobia.

Sheng Lu from Nanguang Department is similar to him.

These two are already ready to bleed heavily.

Unexpectedly, what they waited for was a fair deal.

This is very surprising.

In the past three years, the entire Syrian prefecture, the people there have devoted themselves to the great cause of breeding. Except for the big figures like them who have made countless money, it is the ordinary clansmen, and now each of them has a small fortune.

The thatched cottages in the past have been replaced by green brick and tile houses, and the tattered clothes in the past have long since disappeared. During the festivals, you can still wear precious silk to show off. As long as this kind of life lasts for a few more years, every family It is not a dream for households to wear silk every day.

Walking down the stairs and coming to the yard, he saw a lot of people coming out of another building one after another. These are the guards who followed him to Guiyang this time. To these people, he has always been Very generous.

The expenses of yesterday and night, apart from him, his guards added up to thousands of expenses.

This time Ma Xie came to Guiyang Mansion in response to Xiao Cheng's invitation.

In general, Marshall was already mentally prepared.

It has been three full years since Syria has been separated from Guizhou. This situation will definitely not last long. This time, I am afraid that they will be formally taken over.

Prior to this, Marshall had also communicated with Sheng Lu from the Southern and Cantonese Department. The two sides now have no opinion on completely surrendering to the Guizhou Road, including their ethnic groups. Can't wait.

Anything is afraid of a comparison. Compared with Yi Niangbu Dong Kui who fled to Weining, they can be regarded as extremely lucky.

In the great war three years ago, almost the entire Shimen tribe was wiped out. In the end, only Dong Kui of the Yiniang tribe fled to Weining. After receiving the support of the Liupanshui Gaoyingxiang tribe, they gained a firm foothold. Attack them again.

Dong Kui wantonly recruited the dispersed ethnic groups of the Shimen tribe. For a while, their strength grew extremely fast, and they led counterattacks many times. defense.

But unlike Mahu and Nanguang's happy life, Dong Kui's life in Weining was miserable.

Gao Yingxiang just used him as a barrier. When Dong Kui desperately launched an attack on Guizhou Road, he gave him what he wanted. Once Dong Kui was unable to reach him, Gao Yingxiang immediately changed his face.

The remuneration of Dong Kui's department is to play lanterns for fifteen miles, which is not as good as every day.

Up to now, many ethnic groups can hardly guarantee food and clothing.

In Weining, there are too many ethnic groups of the Shimen tribe, but there are more than a dozen different tribes under the Shimen tribe. At the beginning, everyone was able to help each other. Now, in order to compete for the few resources, They are already fighting endlessly with each other.

As for Dong Kui, the new leader of the Shimen Fan tribe, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. It's good that he can guarantee that his tribe will not go hungry.

Naturally, Dong Kui also knew that going on like this was not an option, and asked Gao Yingxiang for help many times, but now Gao Yingxiang was also in distress.

The domestic situation in Dali is getting worse.

The anti-high voices are getting louder and louder, and there have been riots in many places, and behind these riots, more or less can be seen the figures of the real power factions in Dali, and some even can see the shadows of the royal family.

The rebellion caused severe damage to the domestic economy. Gao Yingde was in a hurry, trying to quell the chaos, restore the economy, and at the same time suppress political opponents and the royal family. He was so busy that he could hardly breathe.

If three years ago, Gao Yingde was still determined to fight Xiao Cheng on Guizhou Road, now, he just begged Xiao Cheng not to call him.

For this reason, Gao Yingde also put in a lot of effort.

Not only sent envoys to make friends with Xiao Cheng, but also sent many envoys to Bianliang, doing their utmost to flatter and flatter the officials in Bianliang city.

Of course, what Gao Yingde wants is only one thing, that is, Dali and Dasong should always be good neighbors and friends, and help each other.

He thought so.

But Xiao Cheng didn't think so.

From Xiao Cheng's point of view, this fruit, which has been cultivated for several years, is finally ripe and ready to be picked.

As for the exchanges and declarations between the officials in Bianliang City and Dali, what binding force do those declarations have on Xiao Cheng?
Just find an excuse and start a war.

Ma Xie met Sheng Lu outside the pacifier's office, Sheng Lu snorted and looked up at the sky.

Last night when Huajianlou was fighting for wealth, Sheng Lu lost to Maxie. When Maxie shouted out [-] guan, Sheng Lu didn't increase the price. Sheng Lu, who lost his face, left Huajianlou angrily.

Marshall, on the other hand, was elated and triumphant.

The two entered the appeasement envoy's mansion, and were arranged by the civil servants to wait for Xiao Cheng's summoning on the corridor.

A moment later, at the end of the corridor, a burly figure came striding forward.

Walking to Marxie and Sheng Lu, the man stopped hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth after all, turned around and strode away.

"This person looks so familiar!" Marshall looked at the back, "Have you seen this person?"

Sheng Lu nodded and said, "I should have seen it, but I just can't remember it."

The two of them were frowning and thinking hard, but a clerk came hurriedly: "The two patriarchs, I invite you to Futai!"

The two chased away the monsters, calmed down, straightened their clothes, rubbed their faces, and then strode forward.

The door was not that big, and the two of them took a step forward at the same time, but they were squeezed together, and no one could get in for a while.

They glared at each other angrily, but no one dared to give in. The officials behind them were stunned and couldn't help laughing.

The two of them pushed hard at the same time, and the door frame creaked a few times. Anyway, the comforter's hall was of excellent quality, and the two of them squeezed in.

"I've seen Futai!" Unlike other officials on Guizhou Road who saw Xiao Cheng and just bowed their hands, these two people knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

"You two, please get up quickly!" Xiao Cheng put down the pen in his hand, walked around the table, walked up to the two of them, and helped them up.Glancing at Ma Xie, Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "The horse-headed man spent a lot of money last night, but it spread throughout the entire Guiyang city overnight, praising the horse-headed man for your boldness."

"It's ridiculous, I'm ridiculous, let Futai laugh!"

"There's nothing to laugh at." Xiao Cheng said: "A man, let's be drunk and lie on the lap of a beauty, wake up and take power in the world!"

Marcie cupped his hands again and again, and said: "Futai, now I'm here, I just want to get drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman, but I don't have the intention to wake up and take control of the world. I just want to attach my wings and tail to the Futai, so that I can soak in the light of the Futai. .”

"Please sit down, both of you!" Xiao Cheng smiled and looked outside the door: "Come here, serve tea, serve good tea!"

Xiao Cheng dismembered Syria.

Part of it was assigned to Bijie, and another part was assigned to another mansion that had not yet been obtained, Liupanshui.When dividing, the areas of Mahu and Nanguang were respectively divided into the area dominated by the other tribe.

For such a geographical division, Xiao Cheng can be said to be very handy.

In the future, whether it is the Mahu Department or the Nanguang Department, if they want to do something, the difficulty will not be so great.

Marshall and Sheng Lu are not fools if they can become the leaders of a team. They can understand the meaning of this division at a glance, but to them, it doesn't matter now.

Rich and rich, they are already rich now, as for expensive, as long as they hold Xiao Cheng's thigh tightly, there is a high probability that they will not be worse than before.

Rengui has self-knowledge. After witnessing the changes in Guizhou Road and Syria in the past few years, they understand one thing. They are not made for big things.

People like Luo Piao whose talents far exceed his own have all failed, so it is better to be honest and seek a glory and wealth comparable to one's own ability.

Virtue does not match, it is the easiest to attract people's hatred.

After Sheng Lu and Marshall agreed to the division plan, Xiao Cheng then had to take the second step.

Guizhou Road will form a pure cavalry team.

In Xiao Cheng's words, this is a strategic support force.

Under the direct command of the appeasement envoy, together with the soldiers battalion led by Han Yan, they formed Futai soldiers with one step at a time and two wings flying together.

And the main body of this cavalry will be composed of Syrian barbarians.

The three-way man in Syria is not only a good breeder, but also a first-class cavalry.

Three years ago, Xiao Cheng would not have done this, because the barbarians in Syria at that time were unruly and unruly, but now, they have basically integrated into Guizhou Road. First of all, they cannot do without Guizhou Road economically. It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Now if you want them to go back to the old days of drinking blood and living in thatched huts, they will kill people with knives.The next second step is naturally cultural invasion.

As an old master Cen who is a student, with the idea that there is no one to teach, he naturally takes it as his own responsibility to educate the barbarians, and he is already packing his bags and preparing to open up this new world by himself.

After giving the other party enough benefits in terms of economy, next, it is natural to give the other party a certain amount of political treatment. Letting them become soldiers in Taiwan is the best compliment for them.

Of course, it was also because Xiao Cheng felt that these tamed guys should be easy to use.
