Whoo~

The cold winter will go away with the arrival of the spring breeze. Although the spring in the northwest is not much different from the winter, I see All Living Things to Recover, everyone is heartily happy.

The new year has begun.

Last year has passed with the cold winter, and a new round of expansion in the northwest has begun. Except for the specially left pastures on the Qingxi grassland, other places have been turned into farmland.

Many places have planted saplings improved by farmers in Xiliang along the river. After farmers in Xiliang improved, these saplings can grow on the grassland.

With the growth of the saplings, new grass has been planted around, and neat farmland has been developed as a village emerges.

Zhuo Bufan, as the guard of Qingxi Grassland, watched with his own eyes how this grassland was transformed by them little by little.

He thought he was assigned to this place, but after arriving at Qingxi Grassland, Zhuo Bufan found out that managing the place was far more fulfilling than his own cultivation.

With his own eyes, he watched cities rise from the ground under his governance, and the originally desolate places became fertile fields for countless people to live and work in peace and contentment.

There are also those who are homeless, under his arrangement, have been given a new life.

He discovered that besides cultivation, there are so many things that people can do. What he has learned in Sword Sect is not only useful in cultivation, but also in governing the country and the country. Not bad either.

He showed all what he had learned in his life, and Old Prince was not embarrassed by Li Xiang. After handing over all military power, everyone in the Old Prince lineage did not say that he was reused, as long as he kept himself safe, No one was settled by Qiuhou.

On the contrary, under the development of Xiliang, those people have continuously become richer by relying on the wealth they have accumulated before, but everyone is also very quiet.

Because they are very clear, there is only one ruler of Xiliang, and only one person is in the ruling class, and that is the king of Xiliang, Li Xiang.

They have seen too many forces that were directly pulled up by the roots in Xiliang because of their arrogance. In Xiliang, as long as you keep yourselves safe, pay all the taxes you should pay, and don’t do anything .

Xiliang basically doesn't care about you. After the panic at first, the Old Prince also became happy, and brought two little princes from Jiuyuan City to Qingqing Grassland.

The King of Xiliang, Li Xiang, did not stop them, but instead sent troops to escort them. When they arrived at the Qingxi Fortress, they built a palace for them to live in.

Zhuo Bufan only knew how unbearable his thoughts were in the past. In the past, he always worried that Li Xiang would be bad for the King of Jiuyuan, and wanted to use his talents to protect the Old Prince and the others.

It took him such a long time to realize that what he was worried about was nothing to worry about.

Li Xiang's mind is much wider than he wanted. Although the Jiuyuan Palace was taken away by Li Xiang, all the treasures in the Jiuyuan Palace returned to Jiuyuan after a year. In the hands of the original Old Prince, Xiliang treated these people very well.

This made him even more desperate.

Since the last battle with the Qing tribe, the relationship between the Qing tribe and Xiliang has been very tense. The problem.

It is often seen that the Xiliang army and the Qing tribe's army confront each other at the junction, and neither of them is willing to retreat a little.

Over there, although the two sides have not established fortifications such as fortifications, they can clearly see that there are military barracks, once the other side makes any move.

The troops in the barracks are ready to respond immediately and are on war alert.

It's not that the Qing tribe doesn't want to fight with Xiliang, but they haven't found any good opportunities. They know that Xiliang has just entered the Qingxi grassland not very long, and it is the best time for them to do it.

But on the front line of confrontation with the Dagan army on the prairie, there has been constant friction, and the armies of all tribes are preparing for there.

In addition to the appearance of Chaos World, Avatar is even more powerless and can only let the Xiliang army on the Qingxi grassland develop.

"Report!"

"Speak!" Zhuo Bufan raised his head and said.

"Reporting to your lord, the Qing tribe sent an envoy." The soldier said quickly, "The other party said that he wants to make a deal with our army."

"Make a deal A question mark appeared on Zhuo Bufan's forehead: "What business do we have with them in Xiliang? Although we have a lot of grain, we will never sell grain to them."

Not selling grain to the grassland people, This is the policy that Li Xiang set at first. In the northwest, anyone who dares to sell food to the prairie people will be waiting for the revenge of the Xiliang army.

There is no shortage of grain in the granary of Xiliang. Usually, many people in the city will buy food in the granary of Xiliang, and even some distant merchants will come to the northwest to buy food.

As long as they buy food on a large scale, they will be investigated by Xiliang, but if they have something to do with the grassland people, they will not be able to buy food.

Even if you can buy it, you can only buy a small amount of food that is enough for one month.

As for the idea of ​​buying food from the commoners and then collecting them all, don't even think about it, because the commoners of Xiliang also buy food in quantity.

Each household will buy food according to the population, and at most will be given a little more, that is, enough food for a month and a half, and no more food can be purchased.

Want to buy another one month later.

This will prevent the other party from buying food through civilians, and those who receive food will also be subject to inspection. Although Xiliang no longer collects agricultural taxes, any Chamber of Commerce that purchases food must first pass through the Western Liang Dynasty. Only after Liang's investigation can he go to the land of Xiliang to buy food.

The prairie people also know that Xiliang has a lot of grain, and they wanted to do business with Xiliang a long time ago, wanting to use the wool, mutton and other things on the grassland to buy food.

Unfortunately, it didn't work.

"I don't know this subordinate!"

"Then go and bring me that messenger!" Zhuo Bufan packed up the things on the table, many things were inconvenient for outsiders to see.

Soon a woman came to the study behind the soldiers, Zhuo Bufan looked up and was a little surprised, and stood up: "This is not Miss Gulina, I don't know why Princess came here?"

Gu Lina smiled and said Zhuo Bufan: "I didn't expect that General Zhuo still remembers me?"

"How can this Zhuo forget!" Zhuo Bufan made a request Action: "Please take a seat."

Gu Lina sat on the guest seat politely, Zhuo Bufan asked: "I don't know that Gu Lina Princess is here, Qing Wang knows"

In the middle of the year, the prairie people, the seven major tribes on the prairie, the patriarch, was conferred as king, while the Golden Clan was proclaimed emperor, and it was completely opposed to Dagan.

This also made all the tribes who originally opposed the confrontation with Dagan to devote themselves to the grassland family. Now the entire grassland has been tied together, but if there is no external force, they may kill each other by themselves.

These are not what Xiliang has to consider. Zhuo Bufan looked at Gu Lina, the beautiful woman in front of him was not a simple person, he was not only related to the grassland shaman, his father was from the Qing tribe. The king, the king of green.

His mother status is more noble, the most powerful black tribe king among the seven tribes, and the only queen among the seven tribes.

The strength is at the level of Great Grandmaster. This status makes her unique in the Qing tribe. She is very ambitious and has good wrist ability.

However, judging from the data, her father didn't like her very much, not that she didn't like her, but that she was a little reluctant to let her meet her rights.

The Qing tribe has since ancient times, and men are the tribe patriarchs, and Gulina wants to become a tribe patriarch, if Gulina gets the right.

Maybe the Green Tribe will become the Black Tribe. Although a woman is in charge, it is not an embarrassing thing, and the Black King of the Black Tribe is in front.

But that's because the predecessor of the black tribe, the patriarch, died tragically, and there is no successor. There are many people in the whole family who cannot support the wall. family descendants.

The power will eventually fall into the hands of men.

The green tribe is not like the black tribe. Among the patriarch sons of the green tribe, although some are mediocre, they are not the ones who can't help them. Naturally, they will not put the power of the tribe in the hands of a woman.

So Gulina is not doing very well in the Green Tribe. The Green King plans to marry Gulina to the Golden Clan Third Prince. With the support of their Green Tribe and Black Tribe, the Third Prince will definitely become a The patriarch of the Golden Clan, the emperor of the steppe empire.

This is a political marriage, and Gulina has always been against it, but as she gets older, she has fewer and fewer reasons to refuse, and on the black tribe side, some people are also preparing to remove power from the black tribe. The king took it back, so her mother couldn't care about her for the time being.

This made Gulina increasingly stressed.

"I came this time to cooperate with you!" Gu Lina said, "I just don't know if General Zhuo can make the call!"

"Since I don't know if I can make the call. , then why did Gulina Princess come to me?" Zhuo Bufan spread his hands and said with a smile: "Then why don't we just let it go"

Zhuo Bufan just wants to manage the Qingxi grassland well, so he can reduce the roots of the green tribe There is entanglement over there, so be less entangled.

Because Xiliang has no plans to fight against the prairie, he just returned from Jiuyuan City not long ago.

Xiliang's expansion direction this year is in the Central Plains. Wang plans to take Liang Province and Bingzhou, which may take about two or three years.

In other words, within two or three years, Xiliang needs the stability of the grasslands, so it can be as little trouble as possible.

It is best that both parties do not aggress each other.

Gu Lina spoke for a while, and the man in front of her was a little choked up, but she was asking for help this time, so she put down the anger in her heart.

"I don't know if General Zhuo is interested in gold mines," Gu Lina said.

"Gold Mine" Zhuo Bufan looked at Gulina: "Gulina Princess is not joking, did you discover gold mines on the grassland"

Xiliang lacks a lot of gold , This Zhuo Bufan is very clear, every year Xiliang spends a lot of gold and silver, he does not know where these gold and silver flowers go, in short, they are very short.

Gu Lina saw hope in Zhuo Bufan's eyes, she said with a smile: "A large gold mine, I don't know if General Zhuo can be interested"

Zhuo Bufan sat upright : "I am very interested. If this is related to the Qing tribe, then I am sorry, I do not have the right to participate." The army is involved in the war, and a large gold mine has not been able to attract the entire Qingxi grassland army to participate in the war.

The war in Xiliang consumes real gold and white silver. After a war, it is extraordinary. I don't know how much gold and silver the lord needs to spend. In short, it will never be less than ten million taels. Food consumption, weapon and equipment consumption, war dead pension.

After a war, this person knows how much it will cost!

And Xiliang is about to fight on two fronts, plus the ghost army in the west, the ominous beast in the north, and the war will start There are too many places, and it is no longer possible to support the Qingxi Prairie side to fight.

Gu Lina smiled and shook her head: "This gold mine has nothing to do with the Qing army."

"I don't know how Princess plans to cooperate, and I want to know about this gold mine. Where is the mine, and why does Princess cooperate with me instead of your father or mother?" Zhuo Bufan was not overwhelmed by gold, this thing of gold mines is better for every faction.

Free pie doesn't fall from the sky, and even if it falls, don't eat it, because free is the most expensive.

"This gold mine, I don't want my father mother to know about it!" Gu Lina said slowly: "This is a large mine that I accidentally discovered. I can guarantee that only I know, except now. No one except you and me knows that mine.

This gold mine is not far from your Qingxi Grassland, right in the Liangyuan Canyon. The exact location can only be told to you after you and I reach an agreement. .

For some reasons, I can't let the father mother know about this mine, and I can't let the people of the Qing tribe know about it, so I want to cooperate with you!"

Gulina It is also helpless. Except for the hundreds of people she recruited, everyone else has more or less contact with the father mother. Once they know about the gold mine, she will get nothing.

She also controls several tribes. It is true that many people are loyal to her, but she does not dare to let those people know that no one can resist the temptation of gold.

These golds are related to her rise, but if the father mother knows that she can't get anything, she has no choice but to come to Xiliang.

Although she will lose some gold for this, it is better than getting nothing at all.

"You mean that you want me to help you mine gold in Xiliang" Zhuo Bufan immediately reacted: "Then I don't know how to share the income after mining"

"Five or five points!" Gu Lina said.

"Five or five points is a bit inappropriate, after all, everything about mining is done by me, Xiliang, and Gulina Princess, you just provided a message!"

"I only provided one piece of news, but General Zhuo, don't forget, without this news, you should never try to find the location of the gold mine in your life, and the Liangyuan Canyon is under the control of our Qing tribe. Without my help, you will enter Don't go!"

Zhuo Bufan frowned every day: "This matter is very important, can I think about it more"

"No problem!" Gu Lina nodded with a smile.

"That's good" Zhuo Bufan shouted to the outside: "come"

Two soldiers from the headquarters of Xiliang walked in, Zhuo Bufan said: "Send Gulina Princess to China. Qingyuan to rest"

Gu Lina left with two soldiers from the headquarters of Xiliang, Zhuo Bufan looked at Gu Lina's back and smiled, the gold mine may be real, but mining

Although there are many people in Xiliang, they are not cannon fodder, and everyone is not stupid.
