Chapter 314 The basis for cooperation

"A long time ago, I don't remember exactly how long ago. That's what my father told me. There was a huge dynasty. I don't know how big it was, but it was huge anyway." Gu Man recalled it carefully and said, "That dynasty The emperor was a woman, and our ancestors in Badong were the ministers of the empress. Later, the empress was assassinated and the dynasty was gone. Our ancestors took the remaining loyal ministers and took refuge in southern Xinjiang, which lasted until Now."

"No more?" Lu Fengxian looked at Gu Man in shock. Is this any different from what Xiao Huipi said?

"No more." Gu Man nodded firmly.

"Your cultivation methods were also passed down from that time?" Lu Fengxian asked with a frown.

Xiao Huipi's cultivation method is very unique. He just needs to keep eating. In addition to daily hard work, he either eats or is on the way to find something to eat.

"How do I know this?" Gu Man shook his head. Their cultivation methods were passed down from generation to generation, but his father never mentioned the specific source back then.

"Forget it, please let the cave master arrange for other cave masters to come and see him as soon as possible. Regarding cooperation, Ming Dynasty is absolutely sincere." Lu Fengxian could only place his hope on the other cave masters.

There are many tribal chiefs in southern Xinjiang, but only eight can be called cave masters, which is what Xiao Huipi calls the Badong. At the same time, these eight cave masters can determine the future direction of southern Xinjiang and the attitude of the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent. .

Three days later, the Lords of Badongdong gathered in Shenxiangdong.

"Gu Man, didn't you say that the Kyushu imperial court has evil intentions? Why are you here to discuss this matter with us now?" In the lobby of Shenxiang Cave, seven other cave masters arrived one after another. A square-faced man with red hair frowned. He glanced at Lu Fengxian and said, "Who is this person? He doesn't look like us Southern Xinjiang people."

"I am Lu Fengxian. I am here to discuss cooperation with Southern Xinjiang on behalf of the Ming Dynasty." Lu Fengxian looked at the man and said, "This must be the master of Shenhuo Cave, right?"

"Da Ming? Isn't the name of the Kyushu imperial court called Da Qian?" The master of Shenhuo Dong looked blankly at the master of Shen Beast Cave on one side.

"That was eight hundred years ago. I remember it was called Da Gan." The master of Divine Beast Cave shook his head.

"Daqian has been destroyed. It is now called Daming. They have mountains and rivers." Gu Man explained: "My daughter Gu Hui is now a general in Daming. This time she will be the guarantee."

"You won't be deceived by the people of Kyushu, Gu Man, you are the ones who suffer the most in this regard." The voice of the master of Shen Gu Dong Dong sounded a little sinister, and his body was shrouded in a black robe.

"Don't worry, Gu Hui is the smartest woman in our tribe. She has been smart since she was a child, and there will be no problems." Gu Man waved his hand confidently.

"Did you just say that they have mountain and river seals?" The female cave owner who had been silent until now suddenly asked.

"Yes." Gu Man nodded and said, "Gu Hui is already at the fifth level now, and she has not aged at all. She has been out for more than thirty years. If it were not for the Mountain and River Seal, she would probably die of old age."

"If there are mountain and river seals, we can discuss this matter, but we need to have a god in southern Xinjiang." The master of Shenmu Cave looked at Lu Fengxian.

The remaining two silent cave owners also nodded.

"Everyone, please understand one thing first." Lu Fengxian looked at the crowd and said: "The development of Southern Xinjiang is a mutual benefit between you and me. We, the Ming Dynasty, are willing to provide supplies to Southern Xinjiang in the form of materials, build cities and open schools in Southern Xinjiang. Children in southern Xinjiang are studying, and Ming Dynasty needs various medicinal materials, wood, minerals and other materials developed from southern Xinjiang. In this matter, both of us are equal."

Lu Fengxian looked at the crowd and said: "As for official positions or divine positions, as long as southern Xinjiang is developed, there will definitely be people. The imperial court also tends to use talents from southern Xinjiang, but this is not for giving, but for merit. In exchange, you can give full play to your own advantages in this cooperation. Based on your performance, the imperial court will give you the most fair reward. Specific matters can be discussed with the specialized officials sent by the imperial court."

"Then how much can you give?" the master of Shenshuidong asked looking at Lu Fengxian.

"Since Southern Xinjiang is dominated by Badong, we will divide it into ten seventh-grade official positions and ten mountain god land quotas in Southern Xinjiang. As for who will take the post, it depends on the sincerity of the various ministries in Southern Xinjiang in future cooperation." Lu Fengxian simply said Let me introduce the chips here.

There were counties and counties in southern Xinjiang during the Daqian period, but they were in name only. The cities built back then were now in dilapidated condition.

"How do you want to cooperate?" The master of Shenshuidong looked at Lu Fengxian with his beautiful eyes. His eyes seemed to be able to speak. In line with his enchanting figure, his eyes seemed to be drawn.

"The water charm technique is good." Lu Fengxian praised, pointed out the other party's methods, and told the other party not to play such tricks, and then said: "The first one is mainly to develop the minerals that have been proven in southern Xinjiang. The Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty will send people Come and build facilities to establish specialized mineral mining. In addition, we will help build ten cities and build roads in southern Xinjiang. The second is to select precious plants suitable for planting on a large scale and cultivate fertile land. There will be dedicated people here in the Ming Dynasty to teach specialized farming. technique."

"We can also farm." Gu Man said puzzledly. "As far as I know, the equipment, seed selection, and planting concepts are still at the same level as they were hundreds of years ago in southern Xinjiang. Now in the Ming Dynasty, if ordinary land is used to grow millet, one acre can produce about 700 kilograms. Regarding grain, I think the planting technology here is not up to par!" Lu Fengxian asked.

"Our Shenxiangdong agreed to this matter!" Gu Man said without saying a word after hearing this. The Shenxiangdong's large appetite is not just for Xiao Huipi alone, but for the entire tribe. He and other monks have reached the sixth level. In the future, you can gradually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instead of eating. Different from Shenxiangdong, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the appetite, and the demand for food is also the greatest. With the planting technology in southern Xinjiang, the output value per mu is about three hundred kilograms. This is because The reason for two harvests a year.

Therefore, Lu Fengxian's proposal is the biggest temptation for Shenxiangdong.

"That's your business. Badong is the same as Qi Lianzhi. If we don't agree, what's the use of agreeing?" The master of Shen Gu Dongdong glanced at Gu Man.

"Then I will withdraw on behalf of Shenxiangdong..." Gu Man subconsciously wanted to say the answer that he thought of instantly, but was slapped back by the master of Shenshuidongdong.

"Crack~"

"Smelly bitch, why did you hit me!?" Gu Man said angrily.

"Shut up! How can you negotiate like this!?" The Lord of Shenshuidong glared at the barbarian with some annoyance: "For the sake of stuttering, I even forgot the ancestral teachings."

"Eat the most. People in Shenxiangdong starve to death every year. It's not like you don't know."

"In addition to planting, there are also breeding and textile industries. We can send people here to teach you breeding techniques." Lu Fengxian said with a smile.

"Farming?" The owners of Divine Beast Cave and Divine Gu Cave Cave couldn't help laughing when they heard this: "Do you know what we do?"

The skill of Divine Beast Cave is to control beasts, and the Gu insects of Divine Beast Cave are great killers.

"I know, but what I'm talking about is not beast control, but breeding. To put it simply, it is to breed animals that specialize in meat production. In Kyushu, the pigs raised today can be put on the market in a year. One pig weighs about a thousand kilograms, and our breeding Technology can improve the fertility of pigs. The main purpose of raising animals is to fight, and we breed them to fill our stomachs. If it can be developed, people in southern Xinjiang will be able to eat meat every day even if they don't hunt."

"The same goes for bugs. We may not know how to kill people with poison, but the honey collected by the bees we cultivate is not only sweet, but also has extremely high medicinal value."

"How is it!?" Gu Man looked at the two cave masters of Shengu Cave and Shen Beast Cave with some eagerness, his eyes exuding strong desire. Behind him, Xiao Huipi and Gu Li were also swallowing their saliva, their eyes burning. looked at the two of them.

"General Lu, this matter is only good for us, but it doesn't seem to be good for the court. You are not lying to us, are you?" The master of Shenshuidong Cave had just been defeated by Lu Fengxian. He was a little unhappy and worried at the same time. , the conditions proposed by the other party were too good, almost unreal.

"First of all, luck!" Lu Fengxian looked at the crowd and said: "Southern Xinjiang is within the borders of Jinzhou and Liuzhou, but it has never been under the control of the imperial court, let alone luck. Now our country has complete mountains and rivers, complete politics and religion, When developing Southern Xinjiang, we naturally hope that the various tribes in Southern Xinjiang can integrate into Kyushu. After all, according to the legend of Southern Xinjiang, we are actually a family, not aliens, and there is a prerequisite for integration."

"The imperial court is not prepared to use force to solve the problem of southern Xinjiang. Although our country was founded by force, Ming Dynasty never raised unjust troops. This method of forced suppression may make southern Xinjiang surrender for a while, but it is not a true integration. What we want is to build a peaceful country, so the court decided to use this method after discussion."

"Secondly, Southern Xinjiang has many specialties that are not found in other areas of Kyushu. In fact, these things, even with the previous mining methods, are enough to ensure that all ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang have food and clothing without worries. However, due to the internal problems in Southern Xinjiang and the inappropriate practices of the past, Disposal has led to profiteers running rampant and converting the wealth that belongs to Southern Xinjiang into their private property by buying low and selling high. This has made the conflicts between the two parties deeper and deeper. Now that Daqian has been transformed by our Ming Dynasty, there is actually no relationship between us. There is no hatred. If we establish cooperation, we can prevent being cheated to a large extent. The imperial court will set up a price office to ensure that the people of southern Xinjiang can buy what they need at the right price."

"Finally, in terms of population, there are more than a hundred tribes in Southern Xinjiang, but as far as I know, the population is less than 500,000. Developing Southern Xinjiang will allow each tribe to obtain a stable and comfortable living environment. In this way, twenty years later, Southern Xinjiang will have a stable and comfortable living environment." The population of Xinjiang can at least double. With more people, there will naturally be more luck, and more masters can be cultivated. We can also build schools and cultivate talents. This is great for both you and me. Mutually beneficial.”

"This is the benefit of the imperial court. You say it is annexation, but I don't agree. Lu can assure you that the imperial court will never use force to force anyone to join the imperial court, from the master of the cave to the ordinary people of southern Xinjiang. Will it become a The people of the Ming Dynasty all rely on their own free will."

Seeing that everyone was still hesitant and wary, Lu Fengxian smiled and said: "You don't have to reply immediately. I'm just here to build a bridge for everyone to communicate. For the specific situation, the people from the court are nearby. You can go back and think about it carefully. If you like, you can Let’s talk in detail about the details of the next cooperation and future ownership issues.”

After hearing this, everyone nodded silently. Except for Gu Man, who had no brains, others still felt that they should be more cautious about this kind of matter and only make a decision after careful discussion with the people in the clan.

However, what Lu Fengxian said was sincere, and they were indeed a little moved. Naturally, they would not refute Lu Fengxian's face. They all agreed and would give the court a chance to negotiate. After talking about some specific matters, they stood up. After saying goodbye and leaving, this matter is over for Lu Fengxian, and the rest depends on Lu Chao's ability.
