It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 630

The two places Cheng Dalei stayed in, Youzhou and Liangzhou, were generally not good places. The climate of Liangzhou is better than that of Youzhou, but it is also vast and sparsely populated. Simply put, without people, there is no basis for business development without people.

The current environment of the empire is actually not suitable for business development. Iron, salt, copper, cloth, and medicinal materials are all hard currencies. But what these goods have in common is that they are inconvenient to transport, and the imperial monetary system cannot develop large-scale commerce.

The real good place for the empire was the south of the Yangtze River, where the climate was right and the waterways were great for transporting goods. The Rong tribe has invaded for years, but they have never reached the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the development there has not been interrupted, and it used to be very prosperous.

Of course, there will be no eggs under the nest, and the Justice Religion has made trouble in Jiangnan once. The feudal lords were divided, and there was constant friction with each other, and now Jiangnan is not peaceful.

He Shen's words opened up Cheng Dalei's thoughts. The food in Toad City cannot be moved, it is used to save lives. If there is a real shortage of food, it may not be impossible to plunder the nearby cities. Cheng Dalei, who comes from the light to the dark, is good at it.

"The car must have a way to the front of the mountain, and we may not be able to do anything when it 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 bit difficult to handle. In the end, he sighed helplessly: "Master, you still have to pay attention to your reputation in the future."

"Don't think it's too late to say this now, the key is what to do in front of you." Cheng Dalei sighed: "Reputation is reputation..."

While muttering in his mouth, Cheng Dalei suddenly moved in his heart: It is very important to go out and fight what flags, but he may not have no flags to raise.

The matter still has to start with Lin Shaoyu. Lin Shaoyu stirred up the wind and rain at the beginning, and it was also because of his uprising that he caused the current situation of the two emperors and eighteen kings of the empire. I have to say that Lin Shaoyu always remembered Cheng Dalei. He knew that he had no talent as an emperor. From the very beginning, he wanted to push Cheng Dalei to the throne and make Cheng Dalei his holy master.

Today, many people in the empire are rising up, and they are playing the banner of the Church of Justice. Although the uprising of the Righteous Religion was suppressed, the followers of the Righteous Religion were everywhere. It is more suitable for Cheng Dalei to carry this banner than anyone else. Others can sway and deceive in the name of the Righteous Religion, so why can't I do it myself.

Telling Heshen about his thoughts, Heshen was refreshed, and his eyes flickered. After a long while, he said: "Big boss, this matter has a lot to do. As long as you play this banner, you don't have to worry about no one coming to vote."

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and we need to discuss how to operate it."

"There shouldn't be any difficulty in operation, but..." He Shen paused: "Master, if we carry this banner, we will really become enemies of the empire?"

He Shen felt a sense of schadenfreude, and he kept encouraging Cheng Dalei to remain unmoved. But in the current situation, Cheng Dalei had no choice but to take action. This is the reason why people are in the arena and cannot help themselves.

"We... seem to have always been enemies of the empire, is there any difference?"

"Uh..." He Shen 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 Justice Religion, we must need a slogan. This slogan should be decided by the boss, and the boss will see what slogan we should shout."

He Shen looked at Cheng Dalei, as if to see him step by step on the path he arranged with him.

Cheng Dalei pondered for a moment, and then said: "What slogan do you need to think about, just tell everyone in the world that I want to take revenge against Lin Shaoyu, and let all the followers of the Righteous Religion in the world come to me."

Under Heshen's touch, Cheng Dalei personally set the eight-character slogan: When the light shines, justice will prevail.

He Shen immediately began to arrange, and the Xizi team led by Axi was in charge of this operation. Axi threw out her hands and entered various states and cities, walking with some pre-fabricated news.

Most of them disguised themselves as storytellers and sneaked into teahouses and restaurants all over the place to tell some stories about the Justice Church. It's just how dark the empire is, and how brutal the various princes are. That's why the Righteous Religion rose up in the first place. In addition, Cheng Dalei and Lin Shaoyu have a deep brotherhood, and how they tried their best to avenge him. In the end, it was mentioned that Cheng Dalei was already recruiting troops and taking up the banner of Justice Religion again.

In addition, it also said how people in the world misunderstood Cheng Dalei, how Cheng Dalei endured humiliation, and the fire in the library was not burned by Cheng Dalei.

It's an obvious whitewashing attempt to save Cheng Dalei's already terrible reputation.

This is something in the plan. Cheng Dalei can't see how it will develop in the future. At present, he can only take a step by step.

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 his spirits up. Getting up and walking towards the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, a single human figure sighed loudly:

"Shao Yu, Shao Yu..."

...

"Your Majesty, happy event, happy event."

Lu Luo strode into Song Bokang's study and said while walking.

Song Bokang frowned and said, "What happy event, what happy event will happen to me?"

"Your Majesty, this time is really a good thing. Cheng Dalei has settled in Shuofang City and started to deal with the affairs of Shuofang City."

"Is it worth being so happy about this? We gave him a city, and he naturally wants to start the business. Will he give up and leave it alone?"

"The king thinks so, so Cheng Dalei certainly thinks the same." Lu Luo excitedly said: "The information I just got, Cheng Dalei's grain transport team has been continuously transporting grain to Shuofang City. He wants to control Shuofang City, It is necessary to divide troops as well as food. The Shuofang City is a big pit, and it will consume all the things he has saved in recent years. When that time comes, you will take over the entire Liangzhou and clear the troubles of your confidants. opportunity."

Song Bokang's brows gradually stretched out: "Isn't everything as we arranged in advance, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, Cheng Dalei does not have the power to swallow Shuofangcheng at all, and if he swallows it, he will burst his stomach. ."

"Who will easily let go of the already occupied city, he doesn't have the spirit of a king."

Song Bokang nodded slowly: "You have made a great contribution to this matter, and I will not forget it. How many people are there in Shuofang City?"

"There are about 5,000 old and weak women and children. I'm afraid these 5,000 mouths will give Cheng Dalei a headache."

"Five thousand people is still a bit small. We should think about it and give some people to Cheng Dalei to make them consume more."
