Chapter 627: What Flag to Fly
Chapter 630
The two places where Cheng Dalei stayed, Youzhou and Liangzhou, were not good places in general. The climate of Liangzhou is better than that of Youzhou, but it is also vast and sparsely populated. To put it simply, there is no one without people, and there is no foundation for developing business without people.
And the current environment of the empire is actually not suitable for the development of commerce. Iron, salt, copper, cloth, and medicinal herbs are all considered hard currency. But what these goods had in common was that they were inconvenient to transport, and the monetary system of the empire could not develop large-scale commerce.
The real good place of the empire was Jiangnan, where the climate was suitable and the waterways were suitable for the transportation of goods. The Rong people invaded year after year, but they never hit Jiangnan. Therefore, the development there has not been interrupted, and it used to be very prosperous.
Of course, there are no eggs under the nest, and the Righteous Sect made trouble in Jiangnan once. The princes were divided, and there was constant friction between them, and now Jiangnan is not peaceful.
He Shen's words opened Cheng Dalei's train of thought. The food in Toad City can't be moved, it's for life-saving. If there is really a shortage of food, it may not be impossible to plunder the nearby cities, and Cheng Dalei is good at it when he comes to the light and the dark.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we may not be without a way when the matter comes. Cheng Dalei said: "The most important thing we should consider now is to expand the population of Shuofang City. ”
He Shen frowned and thought about this matter, because of Cheng Dalei's reputation, this matter was indeed a little difficult to handle. In the end, he sighed helplessly: "Big boss, you still have to pay a little attention to your reputation in the future." ”
"Isn't it too late to say this, the key is what to do now. Cheng Dalei sighed: "Fame is a ...... reputation"
muttering in his mouth, Cheng Dalei's heart suddenly moved: It is very important to come out and play what flag, but he may not have no flag to raise.
Things still have to start with Lin Shaoyu, Lin Shaoyu stirred up the storm at the beginning, and it was because of his incident that the current situation of the two emperors and eighteen kings of the empire was created. I have to say that Lin Shaoyu has always remembered Cheng Dalei, he knows that he has no imperial talent, and from the very beginning, he wanted to push Cheng Dalei to the throne and serve Cheng Dalei as the holy lord.
Now there are many people in the empire who have risen up, and they are under the banner of the Righteous Religion. Although the Justification uprising has been suppressed, the followers of the Justin Cult are everywhere. This banner is more suitable for Cheng Dalei to carry than anyone else, others can swagger and deceive under the banner of the Righteous Sect, why can't they.
Speaking of his heart to Heshen, Heshen's spirit perked up, and his eyes flashed. After a while, he said: "Big boss, this matter is promising, as long as you play this banner, you don't have to worry about no one to vote." ”
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and how to deal with it should be discussed. ”
"There shouldn't be any difficulties in operation, but ......" He Shen paused: "Big boss, if this banner is carried, we will really become the enemy of the empire?"
He Shen had a feeling of schadenfreude, and he was unmoved by his repeated instigation of Cheng Dalei. But in the current situation, Cheng Dalei has to take action. This is the truth that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.
"Let's ...... Does it seem like you've always been an enemy of the Empire, what's the difference?"
"Uh......" He Shen was suddenly choked.
It doesn't really matter what banner you play, what matters is what kind of phalanx you take.
He Shen was stunned and said: "Since we want to recruit the banner of the Righteous Sect, we must need a slogan, and this slogan should be determined by the big bosses, and the big bosses will see what slogans we should shout." ”
He Shen looked at Cheng Dalei, as if he saw him step by step on the path he had arranged with him.
Cheng Dalei pondered for a moment, and then said: "Do you still need to think about what slogan to shout, just tell the people of the world that I want to take revenge on Lin Shaoyu and let the believers of the Righteous Sect in the world come to me." ”
Under the polish of He Shen, Cheng Dalei personally set an eight-word slogan: the light shines, and justice will win.
He Shen immediately began to arrange, and this operation was in charge of the Xizi team led by Ah Xi. Ahisa went into the states and cities and walked around with some pre-fabricated news.
Most of them disguised themselves as storytellers, sneaking into teahouses and restaurants around the country to tell some stories about the past of the Righteous Church. It's just that the empire is so dark and the princes of all walks of life are brutal, and it is for this reason that the Righteous Sect rose up in the first place. In addition, how Cheng Dalei and Lin Shaoyu have a deep brotherly relationship, and how they tried their best to avenge him at the beginning. Finally, it was mentioned that Cheng Dalei was already recruiting troops and carrying the banner of the Righteous Sect again.
In addition, it is also said that how people in the world misunderstand Cheng Dalei, how Cheng Dalei endures humiliation and burden, and the fire in the library building was not burned by Cheng Dalei.
This is an obvious whitewashing scheme to try to save Cheng Dalei's already terrible reputation.
This is a planned thing, how it will develop in the future, Cheng Dalei can't see it yet, and he can only take one step at a time.
After arranging everything, Cheng Dalei suddenly felt a little bored, there were still many things for him to deal with, but he couldn't keep up. Got up and walked towards the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, a single figure with a sigh in his mouth:
"Shao Yu Na Shao Yu ......"
......
"Your Majesty, happy event, happy event. ”
Lu Luo strode into Song Bokang's study, and said as he walked.
Song Bokang frowned and said, "What a happy event, what happy event will happen to me?"
"Your Majesty, this time is really a good thing. Cheng Dalei has already settled in Shuofang City and began to deal with the affairs of Shuofang City. ”
"Is this worth being so happy about, we give him a city, and he will naturally start to run it, will he give it up? ”
The king thinks so, and Cheng Dalei must think so too. Lu Luo said excitedly: "The information that my subordinates have just gotten shows that Cheng Dalei's grain transportation team has been transporting grain to Shuofang City in a steady stream. He wanted to control Shuofang City, and he had to divide both troops and food. That Shuofang City is a big pit, which will consume all the things he has saved in recent years. When that time comes, it will be the time for you to take down the entire Liangzhou and clear the troubles. ”
Song Bokang's brows gradually relaxed: "Isn't everything the same as we arranged in advance, greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, Cheng Dalei has not swallowed Shuofang City's power at present, and if he swallows it strongly, his stomach will burst." ”
"Who will easily give up the city that has been occupied, he does not have the courage of a king. ”
Song Bokang nodded slowly: "You have made great contributions to this matter, and I will not forget it." How many people are there in Shuofang City at the moment?"
"There are about 5,000 old and weak women and children, and these 5,000 mouths are afraid that they will give Cheng Dalei a headache. ”
"Five thousand people are still a bit less, we should think of ideas and give some people to Cheng Dalei to make their consumption greater. ”
