Chapter 302 Planning
Gao Changshou wanted to marry his younger sister to Li Xia very early on, not for Li Xia's small county lieutenant position, but for his appearance and talent.

In his imagination at the time, he wanted Li Xia to assist him.

If this is the case, at the beginning of his return from the north, Li Xia may have followed him to Dali to make suggestions. He proposed to build cities in Zhaotong and Weining, expand their strength, train a strong army, and then retreat from the Song Dynasty while Wulianghetai was defeated. Time to kill it, for a powerful side...

But Li Xia had told him long ago that these were all fantasies and impossible to realize.

Not relying on Song Ting's strength, becoming a powerful party is nothing but a dream.

There are so many tycoons in the Northland, which of the historians and the Zhang family is not more powerful than Dali?Once the Kingdom of Jin falls, it can only serve Mongolia.

Li Quan, Li Fen's father, was unwilling to defect to Meng, so he had no choice but to defect to Song Dynasty.

The reason why Li Xia has this situation today is that he was able to raise troops with the power of Qingfu County, and borrowed the aid of the Syrian Prefecture Army and Changning Army, as he said, "relying on the national strength of the Song Dynasty."

No matter how strong an individual is, it will never match the power of a big country.

From the very beginning, Li Xia was more rational than Gao Changshou and took a longer-term view, so he asked Gao Changshou to assist him.

Gao Changshou also figured out these reasons after seeing the defeat of the Relic Monk's uprising, so he agreed to Li Xia's proposal.

However, the Gao family of "Nine Shuangs, Seven Dukes and Eight Prime Ministers, Three Kings, One Emperor and Five Marquises" also has dignity. Gao Changshou really hopes that his sister will be decent when she gets married.

He understands best the reason why a marriage must be matched.

For example, with Li Xia's appearance and ability, it is inevitable that there will be concubines in the future, and I am afraid that there will be many concubines. If Gao Mingyue gets married with less dowry, the mistress will be looked down upon, which will have some long-term effects.

Therefore, Gao Changshou proposed to wait a year or two before he opened up the situation, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

As long as they can gain a foothold in Zhaotong and Weining, Gao's prestige in Dali will surely attract many Dali adherents to join him.Coupled with Li Xia's presence in Sichuan and Shu, and Gao Qiong's trade and food support in Tongshi City, it's not difficult to open up the situation...

Gao Changshou is quite confident about this.

But Li Xia is going to take Gao Mingyue away now...

"Feiyu, you also know that my Gao family is decent..."

"I don't worry about her staying here." Li Xia said, "Weining is close to Dali. Once Ashu returns from Jiaozhi, you will never be allowed to station troops here. This is an external invasion; the Wuza tribe will not be completely tamed overnight. This is an internal worry. A place of internal and external troubles, too dangerous."

"But let the woman stay with her husband's side before she is married, my Gao family..."

"That's why I said we'll get married when we return to Qingfu. But your considerations are also reasonable, and the two years of war have been so tight that people have no time to breathe. I can really listen to you and delay it for a year or two." Li Xia said: " Of course, the most important thing is to see what Mingyue means, she should be willing to go with me."

Gao Changshou pondered for a while, thinking about it, he had no choice but to do this, not only to allow his sister and Li Xia to share the joys and sorrows of each other, but also to marry later in the future.

"Alright then." He finally agreed.

Li Xia nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Gao Changshou sighed slightly.

The joy of defeating the enemy dissipated a lot at this moment, and he realized that in this troubled world, dignity and decency depended on strength after all.

He hasn't bathed and changed clothes for more than a month, and he took his wife and children to rush around in the chaos of war, without even a tile to cover his head, so how can he talk about the dignity of the Gao family?

"Let's talk about how to gain a foothold in Weining."

Li Xia said: "Didn't you say you're going to take a breather tonight?"

"I can't rest from this breath." Gao Changshou said, "Thinking of Le Yu's arrogant appearance, the captives also lost most of the joy of this Meng Da."

"I told you not to call Le Yu 'Jieao', but to call him 'arrogant', which is more straightforward."

"You and I discuss in private, if you can't say this, you can't say that, how can we talk about it?"

"Okay." Li Xia said: "You need to pay attention to it. When you deal with the Uzza tribe in the future, you must not say that we intend to stand on our own. Now that our power is too weak, we will say that they are not convinced."

"How do you say that?"

"I am Song official." Li Xia said seriously, "Behind us is the Great Song court."

"Hehe, Da Song."

"You believe that I want to conquer the world with a sword; the soldiers believe that I want to be the commander of Shu; the mountain people believe that I am the reincarnation of Pluto... But Le Yu is different. He believes in ghosts and gods on the surface, but in fact it is more important to him. To be the head of Uzzah.

For a hundred years, the Wuza tribe first belonged to the Song Dynasty and then to Dali. One of its characteristics is that it bullies the weak and fears the hard.We can no longer rely on Dali's power, we have to rely on Da Song's power to suppress them. "

Gao Changshou said: "I found that you usually call 'Song Ting', but if you want to take advantage of the situation, you call it 'Da Song'. You are also a snobbish person."

"Don't joke with me."

Li Xia said: "Fortunately, the leader of Uzzah is still Al, he is a rational person, and he considers the interests of the people. As long as you can negotiate with him, you can guarantee your foothold in Weining."

"Ale is getting old, I'm afraid time is running out."

"It's good that he can live for one or two more years." Li Xia clicked on the map, "First of all, we must firmly hold on to Keduguan, which can not only drive away foreign enemies, but also guard the door for Uzza. Ale can see clearly, this will be one of the reasons why he agrees with you to stay in Weining."

At this point, Gao Mingyue and Asha pushed the door open again.

Gao Mingyue was gentle and gentle, and lit another candle and put it on the table.

She might have eavesdropped outside, or she might not have, but she knew that Li Xia would ask her a lot of questions about the terrain, so she happened to come in.

The two looked at each other in a tacit understanding, with a smile in their eyes, and Li Xia continued to speak.

"Secondly, don't be stingy, and use benefits to win over the mountain people. These mountain people know how to plant, so you need to open up more fields to distribute to the mountain people. In the beginning, Uzabu will give them taxes if they want."

"Really?"

"Here. You can get something if you give it up." Li Xia said: "In addition to the fields, there are daily necessities. I will transport the supplies. You trade with the mountain people. You don't need their money. You can let them use labor in exchange. Letter I, the things from Song Jing can make them willing to work for you.

In the end, it is the combination of grace and power, and the implementation of laws and regulations must be properly measured.I personally have two words, 'respect' and 'righteousness', don't treat them as barbarians, they understand whether what we do is good or bad for them.They are not stupid, if you are too strict, they will resist; if you are too lenient, they will take advantage of your loopholes. "

Gao Changshou nodded, and said, "Don't worry about this, my Gao family has ruled Dali for more than [-] years, and I have dealt with the mountain people from all tribes."

"Yes." Li Xia said, "There is no one more suitable than you to govern these mountain people."

Gao Changshou smiled, and said with a smile: "So, you want me to live in Yunnan?"

"I am serious."

"All right, all right, I know you're serious."

Li Xia said: "The first step is to build the city, the location..."

His tone was hesitant, Gao Mingyue had already stretched out his hand to click on the map, and said softly: "We were talking about this place just now."

Li Xia nodded and said, "Yes, it's in the northeast of Caohai."

Looking at the map, Gao Changshou was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Choose the flattest place? Even the people of Song Dynasty knew that they wanted to build the city on the mountain."
