The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

Having said this, Harudo was speechless.

The southwest area is rich in products, has good trade routes, and is relatively prosperous in commerce. Bandits have been rampant since ancient times. They often form groups of hundreds or even tens of thousands of people, armed with weapons and weapons, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

At first, Sanzhao also mobilized a large number of people to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits. However, the terrain in the mountains was complicated and evil, and it was difficult to attack. After Sanzhao sent people into the mountains, the bandits who were usually everywhere did not disappear. They could be found everywhere and made them return without success. They took advantage of the complicated terrain to set up an ambush, causing Sanzhao to suffer heavy losses.

Over time, the three imperial edicts were completely ruined.

The soldiers under General Qiaoqi each looked like they had dog noses. When they smelled the bandits, they were like dogs seeing their bones. Every time they entered the mountains, they could accurately find the areas where the bandits roamed and moved. He successfully found the bandit's den and captured the bandits en masse.

In their eyes, the bandits, who were deeply hated but extremely difficult to deal with, were really just experience points for military training and a small treasury for walking around.

As a close confidant of His Excellency Luo Yan, Polyudo often assists Qi Jiajun in handling the follow-up matters of suppressing bandits.

He once saw with his own eyes that 2000 Qi's troops wiped out a bandit nest of ten thousand people. The money brought back from the mountains filled a courtyard of the post station with all kinds of silver and gold treasures, emeralds, agates, spices, medicinal materials, and leather goods. Mountain delicacies...can't even compare to the large treasury of Mengshe tribe, which is really enviable.

Polyudo couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for those bandits. These people licked their blood and accumulated a large amount of treasure. In the end, they did not enjoy it themselves, but benefited others.

Jiang Fuguang couldn't help but laugh: "If we can wipe out all the bandits entrenched in the southwest, then when trade in the southwest is restored, it will soon prosper."

Boliu Duo was convinced, but compared to the bandits entrenched in the southwest, Sanzhao was obviously more afraid of the Qi family army.

He lowered his head and collected his thoughts: "General Zhengnan is not idle either. He is sitting in Yunzhong City and is busy cleaning up the remnants of Yunzhong in the city to prevent Yunzhong from reviving."

As far as he knew, all the nobles and tycoons in Yunzhong City had their property confiscated. The Qi family army was like locusts crossing the border. Not only did they dig three feet into the ground, but they didn't even spare a tile on the beam. The entire Yunzhong City was looted by them. .

"The Qi Jiajun abolished slavery in the city and spent a large amount of money to resettle the slaves in the city and some ordinary people who were oppressed by the old country and lived in poverty. They were grateful to the Qi Jiajun and supported them very much."

Jiang Fuguang nodded: "With this money, I can start a new life."

Polyuto secretly sighed, whether it was suppressing bandits, rectifying nobles, gentry, or liberating slaves, the beneficiaries were ordinary people. Barbarians respected the strong. Qi's army had strict orders and never harassed the people while stationed in the southwest. The prestige of Qi's army in the southwest was Almost more than the three imperial edicts.

"Everything is fine in Dali City, but the city was severely damaged. Reconstruction after the war is complicated, and we still need to rely on the Southern Dynasty..."

Jiang Fuguang listened with a smile: "His Majesty will send six ministers to discuss with you the post-war reconstruction of Dali City and the livelihood issues of the people in the southwest. As the sovereign state, the Southern Dynasty will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Regarding the three edicts moving westward, my father had made some arrangements before his death. In addition, the Southern Dynasty sent troops to quell the southwestern struggle. The imperial court also wanted to profit from it by providing money and effort. Gu Xi would not be unable to grasp even this benefit. In order to appease the southwest and express the benevolence of the new emperor, the three imperial edicts will not suffer.

After hearing what the eldest princess said, the envoys of the three imperial edicts felt like they had taken a reassurance and quickly took it into their stomachs.

They took out the treasures presented to the eldest princess by three imperial edicts, the most abundant of which were medicinal herbs and spices.

Jiang Fuguang happily accepted it.

Polyuda ordered a camphor wood box to be brought in. Inside was a gorgeous shawl, studded with emeralds, jade, gemstones and agate. "Years ago, Your Excellency Luo Yan hunted a snow-white white tiger in the mountains, and asked the most skilled craftsmen in Mengshe to tantalize it into leather. The embroiderers with the best embroidery skills in Mengxi embroidered the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers on it. Insects, birds, flowers, plants and animals, Yue Xi selected the most precious jade jewelry, inlaid with gems and agate, and Sanzhao worked together to make this shawl covered with stars and moons, dedicated to the eldest princess. Sincere blessing."

'Phidling the stars and wearing the moon' is a costume of the Naxi people. The seven shining stars on the shawl surround a bright moon, symbolizing that the sun and moon are carried on the shoulders and the stars are carried on the back. It is a symbol of the strong, cheerful, hard-working and simple Naxi women.

Jiang Fuguang took the shawl and gently stroked the soft tiger hair with a smile on his face: "You are thoughtful, I like it very much."

Polyudo knelt on one knee, made a fist with one hand, put it on his chest, and swore to the eldest princess: "The people of the southwest will always respect and love their eldest princess. They will always care about their eldest princess no matter when and where they are, and are always ready to help them." Fight for the eldest princess."

People who have not experienced war will not understand what the eldest princess has done for the southwest.

Piroye launched a war that spread throughout the southwest. Those in Dali City who were destroyed and their families were destroyed, as well as those tribesmen who were violently ruled by the Zhao family and Gelisi in the Yue Jizhao, there are countless people in China. All the slaves...

They were all sincerely grateful to the eldest princess.

In their hearts, the eldest princess is the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty and their eldest princess.

The southern barbarians worshiped nature and power. Sanzhao presented the tiger skin shawl to the eldest princess, which also represented Sanzhao's surrender to the eldest princess.

After the news spread, courtiers had mixed reactions.

Logically speaking, as the king of a country, your majesty should present a tiger skin shawl to express your surrender even if the three edicts require it.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites sent the gift list of Southwest's greetings to the palace. The inner court checked the gift list and found that the number of Southwest's greetings was nearly half less than in previous years.

The inner court quickly found the abbot of the dynasty, and Gao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites explained the matter.

When he learned that the new emperor had been neglected by the southern barbarians, Gao Shangshu was furious and quickly sent someone to question the chief officer of the southwestern envoy, Polyuda.

Polyudo was eloquent and respectful, but his words were very sharp: "Southwest China suffered a war last year. Most of Dali City was destroyed and has not been rebuilt yet. The people of the tribe are living a hard life and cannot pay their respects as promised. Moreover, when the late emperor was in power, I always show sympathy to the barbarian tribes, and in every disaster year, I will reduce the tribute. The number of greetings in the southwest this time is a little less than in previous years, but it still follows the old rules."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were stunned speechless.

If he hadn't known in advance that when Sanzhao paid a visit to the eldest princess, he brought a dozen large camphor wood boxes into the mansion, he would have almost believed this.

Sanzhao's annual tribute was not reduced, but was divided into half and sent to the eldest princess's house.

The official of the Ministry of Rites pinched his nose and went back to resume his life.

I expect it will be almost finished in December~
