Zhu Ruihuan looked at Li Hao with a bewildered expression, feeling that his three views were about to be ruined, this Ni*Ma is too undisciplined, and both of them have no discipline. Fastest updates

Regarding the farce of the three of them, Xue Rengui just looked at it with a light smile, anyway, he was used to it, and Li Guocheng was also eye-opening, after all, it was the first time he had seen Li Hao's undisciplined side, if he was seen by Li Hao's fans, I don't know if he would lose fans.

After a small episode, Li Hao and the others set off in the direction of Yazhou, and the team of more than 200 people moved forward without hurry.

In less than half an hour, their procession passed by Yancheng, which was not big, it seemed to be smaller than Xizhou, but the city wall was much better than the Xizhou city wall, at least it was not an adobe wall, but a masonry wall.

After more than half an hour, Li Hao and they finally arrived under the city, and Cui Peng, the governor of Yazhou, had already led a group of officials from Yazhou to greet him outside the city gate, after all, Li Hao was the king of Qiongnan, although he was not in charge of military and political power, but his status was noble, and he could not be disrespectful to Li Hao.

Li Hao's men stopped outside the city gate, Li Hao lifted the curtain and got out of the car, stepped forward, and stood seven feet in front of Cui Peng.

As soon as Li Hao stood still, Zhu Ruihuan came to Cui Peng's side with Li Hao's official uniform seal and official documents, Cui Peng checked all three things, and after confirming that they were correct, he bowed his hand to Li Hao and said loudly: "Cui Peng, the governor of Yazhou, visits King Qiongnan!" ”

"Meet King Joanna!" All the officials in Yazhou in the rear saluted and shouted.

Although they had only met for a minute, Li Hao had already sensed from Cui Peng's performance just now that this person was quite cautious, which was a good quality.

Li Hao waved his hand and said with a light smile: "You don't have to be formal, it's this king who is bothering, let's go into the city and talk." ”

Seeing that Li Hao was easy-going and did not put on a show, Cui Peng felt a little at ease, so he took Li Hao into the city, Cui Peng suggested that Li Hao go to the Governor's Mansion to rest, but Li Hao wanted to go to the post house, Cui Peng did not object, so he took Li Hao to the post house.

When he arrived at the post house, Li Hao got out of the car and drove in, and went in to take a look, heh! Good guy, there is grass growing in the yard, the tallest grass is waist-high, Li Hao was embarrassed, smacked his lips, and said, "Let's go to the Governor's Mansion." ”

At the same time, he secretly commented on this Cui Peng in his heart, three words, nerd, knowing that the post house can't live in people, and he won't dissuade it, will it be okay? Are you still afraid of contradicting yourself? But now I'm embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li Hao is not a cautious person, and he will not mind because of this, if he meets a cautious prince, this Cui Peng will directly offend the prince.

After arriving at the Governor's Mansion, Cui Peng introduced Li Hao into the living room and said, "The prince will use some tea first, and the lower officials will send someone to prepare some thin banquets to catch the wind and wash the dust for the prince." ”

Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, General Xue will also be invited, after all, there are many places where you need to cooperate in the future, so let's get acquainted with each other first." ”

Cui Peng was stunned, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Hao then said: "Cui Dudu, regarding the exile of Qiongnan by this king, has he received any court documents in advance?" ”

Cui Peng bowed his hand and said politely: "Back to the prince, the lower official received the documents more than two months ago. ”

Li Hao asked: "Then dare to be kind, Lord Cui should have prepared a mansion for this king a long time ago." ”

Cui Peng nodded: "Ready, since the court has a clerical order, the lower officials dare not slack off." ”

Li Hao smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, he was afraid that this thing would not be able to do things, and if he didn't prepare a place to live for himself, he would have to pluck his ears and train him.

So Li Hao got up and said: "It's still early now, Lord Cui might as well take this king to the palace first, so that this king can settle down here as soon as possible, and this king still has a lot of luggage on the boat." ”

Cui Peng looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "Lord, the palace is a little far away from here, and now that it has passed, I am afraid that it will only be dark to arrive." ”

"What?" Li Hao was surprised when he heard this, "It's still more than an hour before it gets dark, and my palace is more than an hour away from here?" ”

"The prince atoned for his sins." Cui Peng said helplessly, "There is indeed no suitable idle mansion in the city, and in a hurry, the lower officials can only find a courtyard for the prince in Qiongzhou, and ask the prince to take a look first." ”

Li Hao frowned and asked, "Didn't the imperial court allocate the money for this king to build a palace?" ”

Cui Peng shook his head: "Back to the prince, no." ”

Li Hao sighed helplessly when he heard this, it seems that Li Shimin is really disappointed in himself, when he was in Chang'an, he casually rewarded him with a marquis mansion within the third ring, the palace has been idle, he just sent a few people to guard, and he didn't go to live, now it's good, when he came to Qiongnan, he didn't even give the money to build the palace, according to the courtyard that Cui Peng said, it is estimated that it is not big, otherwise Cui Peng will not let him take it first, it seems that if you want to live comfortably in Qiongnan, you have to spend money to build the palace.

In fact, it's good to think about it, the house is still built by himself, and it is comfortable to live in, and he is not bad for money anyway.

So Li Hao no longer bothered about the questions of the palace, and began to ask: "You just said Qiongzhou, as far as this king knows, isn't there only three states in this Qiongnan?" When will there be another Qiongzhou? ”

Cui Peng said: "The prince doesn't know, Xia Guan has been coming to Qiongnan for 12 years, and in the past 12 years, although he has not made much merit, he still has some achievements. ”

He said and flipped through the official documents on his desk for a while, took out a map and handed it to Li Hao, and said, "Lord Wang, please see, this is the map of Qiongnan that was just drawn this year." ”

"Oh?" Li Hao took it with great interest when he heard this, took a closer look, and found that Qiongnan had expanded a little territory, adding two county towns in the coastal areas to the north, and only adding Qiongzhou to the south, but according to the map, Qiongzhou was not far south to the boundary of the indigenous people of Qiongnan, Li Hao suddenly frowned and said: "Lord Cui, why is the territory of our Tang Dynasty so small on this island of Qiongnan?" ”

Cui Peng was embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "It's the incompetence of the lower officials, there is only such an inch of progress in the past twelve years, the local aborigines of Qiongnan are a little resistant to my Datang, although there have been some tribes that have been in contact with us over the years, but there are still some tribes who want to drive us away and often attack us." ”

"Oh?" Li Hao frowned when he heard this, "Anyway, it's okay right now, Master Cui might as well tell me about the current situation of Qiongnan." ”

Cui Peng immediately nodded yes, and told Li Hao in detail about the current situation in Qiongnan, at present, there are 42,000 households in the Tang Dynasty in Qiongnan, with a population of 123,000 and 38,000 acres of land, with an average of less than one acre of land per household.

Because the natives of Qiongnan are more fierce and often sneak attack some state cities in the Tang Dynasty, there are more soldiers in Zhechong Mansion here, Yazhou Zhechong Mansion has 3,000 troops, Danzhou 2,000 troops, Zhenzhou 2,000 troops, and Qiongzhou 2,000 troops, adding up to a total of 9,000 troops.

In order to facilitate the defense of the attack of the natives, Cui Peng has not dared to open any county seats, only in the northern coastal areas to add two county seats, because it is relatively safe there, the aborigines generally do not sneak attack there, every year in the harvest season, there are always natives will come to fight the autumn wind, if it is just to grab the grain, they can't take it away and set fire to the fields, which really makes Cui Peng hate itchy.

Li Hao smacked his lips and sighed after hearing this: "Sure enough, it is a poor mountain and bad water out of the people." ”

Cui Peng deeply agreed: "What the prince said is very true. ”

Li Hao counted the days and said, "Is it the harvest season now?" ”

Cui Peng said with a bitter face: "It's past the harvest season, but the rice here in Qiongnan is twice a year, and it will experience a catastrophe in October." For Cui Peng, the harvest season is like the most distressing time of the year, because at this time, the natives will come to rob.

Li Hao saw Cui Peng's distressed appearance, and sighed in his heart, this local parent official who was already incapable of being able to meet these troubled people was really embarrassed for the people of Qiongnan.

So he said slowly: "Lord Cui, don't worry about it, about the attack of the indigenous people, this king will find a way to help you solve it, if it really can't be resolved peacefully, this king will help you exterminate them." ”

Cui Peng waved his hand again and again and said: "The prince must not, these indigenous people are the most grudgeful, once they go into the mountains, it will be difficult to find a trace, and when they come back, it will be difficult for the people of Qiongnan to have a peaceful day." ”

"Bastard!" When Li Hao heard this, he suddenly glared and scolded, "When this king crisscrosses the Western Regions, he will destroy the 160,000 troops of the Seven Kingdoms within ten days!" I'm going to be scared of this group of little aborigines! ”

Cui Peng was stunned by him for a moment, and then remembered that the prince in front of him was not an ordinary prince, he won the title of prince by virtue of his real military exploits, and he also had another title, that is, the god of the Tang Dynasty, and he had never lost a war.

At this point, Cui Peng suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and hurriedly arched his hand: "That's it...... Thank you so much, the lower officials thanked the prince for the people of Qiongnan. ”

"First of all, don't thank the king." Li Hao waved his hand impatiently, "First tell this king about the specific situation of the indigenous people, which of the indigenous people are closer to our Datang, and which of the indigenous people oppose us." ”

"Yes." Cui Peng immediately told Li Hao about the specific situation of the indigenous people in Qiongnan.

After listening to Li Hao, he had a rough idea in his heart, now the indigenous population of Qiongnan has grown a lot, there are forty-four tribes, a total of nearly 300,000 indigenous people, there are not many indigenous tribes close to the Tang Dynasty, only five, among which the Ziliu tribe and the Tang Dynasty have the most friendly relationship, there has never been any conflict, and the indigenous people of the Ziliu tribe have moved from the mountains to the plains, established a town in Qiongzhou Baili, often trade with the Tang people, and also learn culture and rice planting from the Tang people, they plan to live the life of the Tang people like the Tang people, There is a heart that is free from savagery.

There are more tribes that oppose the Tang people, there are nearly ten, among which the Yashan tribe is the leader, and the Yashan tribe is the most powerful of all the tribes, and there are more than 12,000 indigenous people in the entire tribe.

As for the other tribes, they have always held a neutral attitude, and they do not welcome or oppose Datang, in fact, this attitude of theirs is very understandable, after all, Datang did bring them some materials and benefits, but at the same time they think that the Tang people have invaded their territory, so they belong to the more contradictory and least assertive group.
