It's said to be a competition, but in fact, it can't be a martial arts competition or something, and naturally it's impossible to climb the knife mountain, this is Girls' Day, and Valentine's Day, a good day to hook up with a girl, there are no rules for martial arts.

It's really comparable, that is, blowing the leaves and blowing the seedling flute, dancing, singing and singing, Zhou Shaoyu is not very interested in this, mainly because there is no color.

It's not really chasing Ah Miao, it's pointless to win, as for the favor of other Miao sisters, hawkers, didn't you see that there is a Chen Shuozhen next to you, even if you have an idea, it's in vain.

So Zhou Shaoyu directly admitted it very seriously, and said righteously, compared with a guy who is not your Meishan Miao, are you embarrassed?

These words directly made people have nothing to refute, everyone looked at each other, they couldn't insist on comparing with people, that also seemed to be ungraceful, and the Miao family was not a barbarian in the north, and most of them had a good temper.

This is also whether it is in the history of China or the history of the Great Liang, except for forced resistance, it is almost rare to see active aggression or anything. They are self-sufficient, they live comfortably, and they don't do anything to fight and kill unless necessary.

"Alright, don't make a fuss, Miao, take us to your patriarch and high priest." Zhou Shaoyu waved his hand, there is a rare delicacy today, why waste time here.

According to Zhou Shaoyu's thoughts, the forces in Chenghui Prefecture occupied the present-day Long County and Zhuzhu County on the surface.

Chen Shuozhen and Yang Miaozhen went to Jingxian County to develop, and they had to play a different banner to take Jingxian County, and at the same time, the cottage located in Wu County also had to develop a team as soon as possible, and they would also play another banner when they took Dongshui County, which was the only way to take the road from Wuxian County to Zhuzhu County.

This can be distracted, otherwise, let alone the four counties, that is, once Zhou Shaoyu occupies three of the five counties in Chenghuizhou, he will immediately be counterattacked by Fucheng.

Chenghui Prefecture is a small place, the location is also partial, the population is still small, there is no need to fight here to die, and once the fight starts, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Xingwu Army, no matter how bad the military discipline is, it is also a regular army, no matter how much empty salary, there are more than 10,000 soldiers.

At that time, even if Zhou Shaoyu paid a lot of money to take the entire Chenghui Prefecture, it caused a high degree of vigilance in the Xingwu Army, so what was it? The imperial court will definitely not be happy to see the emergence of Chenghuizhou, which has a unified regime, so the conquest is also certain, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The route that Zhou Shaoyu is ready to take is to fight steadily and steadily, instead of coercing the number of people to roll rapidly to rebel.

The latter seems to be a big situation for a while, but in fact, the trouble is too great, not to mention the problem of the rabble, how to feed so many people alone is a big trouble, there is no stable production, no matter how much plunder, there will be a day when it will be eaten up, once it eats a few big defeats, it will be like a snowball, and it will no longer be able to raise its head.

In addition, about how to take down the Xingwu Army with the smallest losses, after thinking about it for so long, Zhou Shaoyu also had a general idea, but it took a short time to pave the way.

However, all the prerequisites are that the weapons must be sufficient.

Prior to this, most of the blades were purchased from Meishanzhai, and they were invaded by the bandits once, as trophies, leaving a large number of blades, except for some that were really unusable, they were basically purchased by Zhou Shaoyu.

In addition, it was confiscated after taking Long County, the quantity was pitiful, the quality was not good, and most of them were very old.

That's not enough, the more this thing, the better, with the current strength, Zhou Shaoyu can't recruit people to build it by himself, it's not that there are no blacksmiths in the cottage, there are also blacksmiths in two counties, but the technology is lacking, the number is scarce, and there are basically no expectations, if it weren't for Gao Xiujun who also entered Beijing this time, there are blacksmiths in his dark line, and he can build a good blade, I'm afraid there is not even a master-level character.

Rao is like this, if he wants to cultivate and develop a scale, there are still others, so the task given to the master blacksmith is not to build, but to cultivate and develop, such as lighter and tougher weapons and armor.

But Meishanzhai is different, the population of Meishanzhai alone is indeed not much, but there are dozens of small villages at the bottom, and the population adds up to a lot.

And almost every household in the Miao family has a blade hunting bow, and even a separate hiding cave, although there are several generations of business results, but it has to be built with conditions.

It is true that Zhou Shaoyu is just an outsider, and he is not sure of convincing them at all, but there is no other way.

Zhou Shaoyu's identity in Meishanzhai is quite special, whoever calls him to the god-like code, he will definitely not refuse when he meets, and he is quite enthusiastic.

It's a lively festival, and Zhou Shaoyu can't talk about swords and soldiers today, and everything is based on food.

Then, then Chen Shuozhen was stunned.

When he came back to Meishanzhai, it was Li Xiuning who followed, and the hundred insect banquet almost made Li Xiuning collapse.

This time it's much better, the Hundred Worms Banquet is not something you want to eat, and Chen Shuo is really not from a family like Li Xiuning, he has suffered a lot, and there are times when he can't eat, so he eats everything at that time.

It's just, what the hell is this black bula rice?

"It's black rice, cooked with the branches and leaves of a kind of leaf, and you may not be able to eat it when you want to eat it at other times."

Just when Zhou Shaoyu began to introduce various special foods, at this moment in Wuxian County, Li Qingzhao was meeting an intelligence transmitter who came from Beijing.

Since Zhou Shaoyu left the Beijing Division, Jinling can be described as changing, Prime Minister Gao Yanshen suddenly fell seriously ill, his son's talent is not enough to command a hundred officials, the eldest princess of Shu Xiao has already left, and the rest are not enough to compete for power.

Empress Dowager Gao Yuyao took the opportunity to further seize power, and the key official positions in Jingshi and Jiangnan were heavily taxed, and at the same time, a new army was formed to further control.

Moreover, most of the royal children of the Xiao family were sealed, and they were not allowed to leave the fiefdom at will.

Especially in Shu and the surrounding area, the king of Shu, the king of Chongqing, the king of Qian, and the king of Anxi made it clear that they wanted to block Xiao Ji's wife.

It's nothing, these changes are too far away from Wu County, and now there is almost no relevance, only one, the king of Tan, who was deposed for the crime of deliberate rebellion and then most of his family died tragically, was rehabilitated, and successfully found his descendants who hid the people, and was re-established as the king of Tan, and he will soon take office.

And this large-scale release of the king, not just a prince with a false title, not to mention a certain degree of private soldiers, but also to meddle in local government affairs, official positions below the seventh rank do not need to ask the court, just need to report, and can reduce general taxes for private use, and maintain local security and assistance, and even private checkpoints.

This is very exaggerated, it is simply a posture of deliberately delegating power to sit and watch the kings stand on their own.

Li Qingzhao frowned delicately, thinking of Zhou Shaoyu's evaluation of the royal family, they were all straw bales who only knew how to have fun.

It is clear in her heart that Gao Yuyao is planning to let go of the burden, the world is so big, and the place that can really ensure stable income and tax collection is the Jiangnan area.

As for the rest, the amount of silver allocated every year may be more than the tax, and at this moment, all of them are thrown out to be crowned kings, not only to gain the support of the royal family and further consolidate power, but also to get rid of the heavy burden and liberate the court that Gao Yuyao listened to.

And those straw bale princes, with Gao Yuyao's ability, I am afraid it is not too easy to clean them up again, you must know that Gao Yuyao is only twenty-three years old, and there is time.
