Chapter 376 What a Coincidence (Please Subscribe)

Unexpectedly, Prince Zhongshun did not come to visit him.

Although Jia Cong didn't know what was going on, he was too lazy to think about it.

He was almost confused when he explained these and other things to the current emperor and a group of distinguished officials, and he was really unwilling to continue the exchange and explanation.

Now, he very much hopes that Jia Huan can return to Beijing as soon as possible!

It's a pity that Jia Huan is making drastic changes in the southwest border at this time, and he may not be able to come back for a while.

By the way, didn't Jia Huan give the local Jianghu forces and Jianghu gangs development orders in the southwest before?

At this time, Jianghu gangs have already taken action, and their execution capabilities are a bit exaggerated.

The first one to take action was the Jianghu gang similar to the Five Poison Sect!

They seem to know the situation in the border area of ​​Qianxiang Kingdom all the time.

The first one found a small jade vein.

In addition to taking the initiative to contact Jia Huan and asking Jia Huan to send financial and tax personnel, they covered all the villages and towns in that area.

Jia Huan was overjoyed when he heard the news. This was the result he wanted!

In order to add motivation to the other party, he also made a personal trip and confirmed through official documents from the yamen that the Jianghu gang had legal jurisdiction over the villages and towns centered on the small jade mines.

In other words, except for the necessary taxes and royalties from jade minerals, everything else was handed over to the Jianghu gang.

At this time, the entire Southwest Jianghu was in a sensation.

What is this, a country within a country!

As long as they don't go too far, that Jianghu gang will be the real local bully in that area from now on.

Even if the state government controlled by Ningrong's second government wanted to intervene in management, they could not get Jia Huan's permission and support.

With a territory that can be completely controlled, even if it is just a town, there are already a lot of things that can be done, and it can even make the gang's strength even higher.

In the past, gangs had only thirty or fifty core members at most.

Their cultivation and daily life require ten times more manpower to support them.

Not only that, in order to compete for resources or ways to make money, you also need to spend a lot of time and energy, participate in disputes and fights in the world, and there is not much time to really focus on practicing martial arts, that is, from the time you grow up from a boy to a young man. That's just that part.

But with the territory under complete control, they only need a small number of peripheral personnel to guard and supervise the excavation and sale of small jade ores, as well as the cultivation and harvesting of the fields in the territory.

There is no need to worry about the harassment and interference of other Jianghu forces, and you can have more time and energy to spend on improving your own martial arts and abilities.

Moreover, the resources of one town can support a larger number of core elite disciples.

It can be said that the local jurisdiction given by Jia Huan is enough for a Jianghu gang to undergo radical changes within ten years, provided of course that no civil strife breaks out.

If nothing else, Shaolin and Wudang have high status in the world, right?

However, the resources they control are still restricted by local officials and the imperial court.

Otherwise, with the amount of resources they have at their disposal and the number of core disciples they can support, they can afford to multiply it several times.

The same is true. The eyes of other Jianghu gangs in the southwest region all turned red.

What else is there to say?

Since Jia Huan kept his word, they naturally wouldn't be polite.

The elite disciples were sent south one by one to compete in the Qianxiang Kingdom area adjacent to the border.

Of course, you can eat as much as your appetite demands!

Jia Huan gave them an opening, but that didn't mean there were no restrictions at all. That was impossible.

He will directly stipulate the amount of money that must be paid every year based on the size of the territory controlled by the Jianghu sect, and the population in the territory must also reach a certain level within a certain period of time.

Not only that, Jia Huan stipulated that all the people he recognized were standard Han Chinese!

As for the local tribes and how to manage the Jianghu sects, that is not something Jia Huan should consider.

That is to say, in just one or two months, more than a dozen Jianghu forces have occupied large and small territories in the Qianxiang Kingdom adjacent to the southwest border.

The largest only controls three villages and towns, and the smallest is half the size of a village.

These guys are somewhat self-aware and know where their abilities and upper limits are!

At the same time, there are large and small mineral deposits in all the selected sites!

There is no way, the area on that side is at a high altitude, and it is simply a dream to make money through farming. It is not easy to be self-sufficient in food.

But right now, the most troublesome thing facing them is that there are too few Han people in their territory.

In fact, they can still understand their harsh requirements for Jia Huan.

If you are not of my race, your heart must be different!

There are some things that everyone knows well, and there is no need to speak so directly.

Fortunately, Jianghu sects have the channels of Jianghu sects, which can continuously transport Han people to their new territories and constantly change the proportion of local ethnic groups.

It hasn’t been long, and some results have already been shown.

For example, in the two states controlled by Ningrong's second government, border trade business became active.

A large amount of gold, silver, copper, iron, emeralds, gems and other mineral deposits entered the markets of the two states.

Similarly, these mineral deposits in the Qianxiang Kingdom have also attracted many powerful businessmen from the southwest region to come and buy and sell. Isn't the market so active?

When Daqian's country is relatively stable, as long as there is enough money in hand, won't food and other daily necessities be continuously shipped from outside?

As long as the road is not so difficult, various living supplies can always be transported to the southwest border.

Jia Huan personally led three thousand cavalry and was stationed in the border areas of the two states, intimidating Xiaoxiao and supporting the local border trade, which gradually flourished from scratch.

Otherwise, he would choose Jianghu sect to cooperate as soon as possible.

In this era, only Jianghu forces have enough courage and motivation to forge ahead.

Don't expect the so-called aristocratic families. What they often do is rely on their huge power to plunder and plunder. That's their greatest skill: picking peaches.

On the other hand, as the Jianghu sects in the southwest have sent out capable personnel, the Buddhist and Taoist sects in the southwest have not been idle either, and have also sent disciples over.

They were specially invited by Jia Huan to help those Jianghu sects stabilize and appease people's hearts.

As for whether he could be a good disciple of Buddhism and Taoism, Jia Huan didn't know, but he gave him the opportunity.

In this way, the situation in the two southwest border states quickly improved and attracted the attention of all forces in the southwest.

Originally, it was only the Jianghu forces in the core area of ​​the southwest, as well as the two branches of Buddhism and Taoism, all responded to Jia Huan's call and participated in the operation against the northern territory of Qianxiang Kingdom.

But as time went by, major Jianghu sects such as Emei, Qingcheng, Diancang, etc. also heard the news and sent their disciples to inquire about the situation.

Jia Huan was extremely happy and even took the initiative to step up publicity efforts.

Not to mention anything else, let all Jianghu sects and Buddhist and Taoist forces in the southwest region know. With the full support of the area controlled by Ningrong's Second Mansion where Jia Huan is located, they have the opportunity to obtain amazing benefits in Qianxiang Kingdom.

As for whether they can get it, it depends on whether they have such courage and courage.

Anyway, Jia Huan has been given the opportunity. We will wait and see the specific situation in a few years.

By the time he was about to leave the southwest and return to Beijing, the trend of developing the northern region of Qianxiang Country that he had started had already formed.

For this reason alone, what Jia Huan did was of immeasurable merit to Da Qian.

Once the enterprising Jianghu sects and Buddhist and Taoist forces gain a foothold there, it will not be so easy for Qian Xiangguo to go against Da Gan.

Just cleaning up the nail households in the northern border is enough to consume too much of their energy and time.

As for the Jianghu sects going south, it is unlikely that they will secretly communicate with Qianxiang Kingdom.

In fact, the civilization levels of Daqian and Qianxiang Kingdom are not on the same level.

If the Qianxiang Kingdom has strong martial virtues, such as Houjin in the northeast of Daqian, or the Hu people outside the Great Wall in the northwest, they can always attract some weaklings to join them.

It's a pity that the combat effectiveness of Qianxiang Kingdom's army is just that!

The key is, there is even a queen in Qian Xiang Country!

For this reason alone, the Jianghu forces from Daqian have little chance of colluding with them.

Once word spreads about it, how can it be used in the world in the future?

Besides, Jia Huan would not give them such a chance!

When the population in the southwest becomes more abundant, Jia Huan will take the initiative to expand to the south.

When the time comes, it remains to be seen whether Qian Xiangguo will be able to hold on!

As a result of his efforts, the entire southwest region became more peaceful than ever before.

Without the torment of these Jianghu forces, there will naturally be a lot less troubles and disputes!

Even the chieftains were affected a lot and had no time or thought to pay attention to the local government offices in Daqian. They all looked towards the south with red eyes.

When the new Prince Nan'an arrived, he was greeted by his father, the previous Prince Nan'an.

There are still smart people in the senior management of Qianxiang Country.

Although the army was defeated by Jia Huan and suffered heavy losses, he did not directly vent his anger on the defeated and captured Nan'an County King, but instead sent him back intact.

This routine is almost the same as the one who studied on the grassland in the early Ming Dynasty and became the God of War and the Emperor.

In particular, after this guy was released, he still had the nerve to use his identity as the King of the Southwest to invite powerful people and powerful factions from all over the Southwest to 'discuss important matters' together!

As the first person in the southwest military, Jia Huan naturally received the invitation.

In order to invite him to come there in person, the Prince of Nan'an County sent his confidants to establish friendship and kinship.

He even wanted to take advantage of the old lady!

How could Jia Huan care about this? He just ignored it and had no intention of paying attention to it.

Seeing his reaction like this, other powerful factions in the southwest region naturally followed suit and pretended not to know him.

Just kidding, how can a bereaved dog get the respect it used to?

That is to say, the previous Prince of Nan'an County did have some problems that were difficult to deal with.

Although he is a king of the opposite sex whom the royal family is afraid of, he is an existence certified by the royal family after all. If he is too disrespectful, he may make the royal family unhappy.

In short, Prince Nan'an was quite embarrassed after being released.

Especially since he no longer had any title at this time.

If you want to lose face, you should return to the capital as soon as possible. Don't continue to embarrass yourself in the southwest region. Do you think the Nan'an County Prince's Palace has not lost enough face?

It's a pity that this guy's ability is very poor, but his face is quite thick.

Not only did he have no intention of returning to Beijing, but he also sat in charge of the first city in the southwest and started to deal with some affairs in the southwest.

Such behavior and performance are really disgusting, but there is nothing you can do about him!

However, this guy is quite aware of current affairs!

He learned that his southwest territory was divided up by the royal family and many noble forces. Not only did they not make any noise, but they also accepted the facts very calmly.

Otherwise, he would not stay in the first city in the southwest. This is one of the two places left by the imperial court to the Prince of Nan'an County.

Even if outsiders feel resentful, there is nothing they can do if they stay in their own territory.

It wasn't until the arrival of the new Prince Nan'an that the situation changed!

It's a pity that Da Qian rules the world with filial piety, and the new Nan'an County Prince is too young to be his father's opponent. He was fooled into confusion within a few moments.

Fortunately, his father also knew his situation and did not dare to go too far.

He just made his son a puppet, but he still dominated the territory and looked very cool.

Jia Huan saw it and didn't know what to say.

He just asked someone to send him a message, just stay in the territory honestly and peacefully, and don't do anything inappropriate, otherwise the court will not turn a blind eye.

As for whether this person can still be brave and realize his shame, Jia Huan is not optimistic.

By this time, Jia Huan no longer needed to handle matters in the southwest.

It's time for him to return to Beijing, otherwise the current emperor and cabinet will be unhappy.

But not long after setting off, he received an urgent message from Jia Cong from the capital.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong and northwest China, and the local situation is unstable.

What does it mean when you feel sleepy and someone offers you a pillow?

It was not that he was looking forward to natural or man-made disasters in Daqian, but he felt that the timing was too coincidental.

At present, whether it is the southwest region that has just experienced a war or the territories that have been explored outside the sea, a large number of people are needed to fill them.

As a result, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and disasters in the northwest.

What else is there to say? Organize all efforts to absorb refugees.

Such a great opportunity must be firmly grasped, otherwise it will be a pity.

At the same time, it can also help countless disaster victims, which is the best of both worlds.

Jia Huan's reply was rushed almost four hundred miles to Jia Cong in the capital.

After seeing the content of the letter, the original worried look on Jia Cong's face disappeared.

He slapped his forehead fiercely, quite dissatisfied with his slow reaction.

This was a good opportunity to attract refugees openly and openly. Why didn't I think of it?

Before, the group of Zixungui bosses were all frowning at such a thing, so now they naturally want to organize all their forces.

In addition, Jia Cong naturally has to meet Prince Zhongshun, and it is best for him to take part in this matter.

"What a rare visitor. I didn't expect General Jia to come to our door!"

When he saw Jia Cong walking in the main hall of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Prince Zhongshun could not hold back his displeasure and said in a strange tone: "Tell me, what is going on?"

"Your Majesty, Jia is here to give you some advice and solve your trouble!"

Jia Cong was unhappy: "If you don't welcome me, I will leave immediately!"
