Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 429
In Jiangzhou City, in a hall, twenty or thirty people dressed as martial arts rangers gathered here at this time, and they were automatically divided into several small groups, with clear distinctions between each other, and the atmosphere was very tense!

One of the arms was abnormally thick, and the muscles on it were bulging. The strong man with a rather deep momentum suddenly stood up and shouted at the other person:
"Chen Laosan, before leaving, I entrusted my brother to you with my own hands. But now, why are you the only one who came back alive?"

The short, fat, dark-faced man named Chen Laosan frowned slightly, took a deep breath, got up and explained:

"Your brother Li Ye died under the hoof of Guan Ning's iron cavalry. I didn't protect my brother well, and I violated your entrustment and trust. This matter is my old Chen's debt to you, and I will definitely repay it in the future... But I dare I patted my chest and said, I did my best to protect your brother that day, so I can pat my chest and say that I have a clear conscience!"

Hearing the words, the strong man surnamed Li couldn't suppress the unknown fire in his heart, and cursed again:

"Good old Chen, you still dare to quibble now!"

Speaking of this, the strong man surnamed Li suddenly pointed at everyone present, gritted his teeth and said:
"We have seen the capabilities of Yunguo's elite army that day, but none of the brothers who took action can leave alive!"

"The people who are still able to stand here intact now, except for the brothers who are responsible for causing trouble on the periphery and attracting the attention of the cloud army with me, there are others who count as one. They are all greedy for life and afraid of death. Do it!"

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of many people present suddenly became ugly.

On the day when Emperor Yun arrived in Jiangzhou City, the elite Yun army gathered at Hanyang Wharf.

How many self-proclaimed heroes in the past, when the army of Yunguo came out to suppress them, they only dared to hide in the dark, their legs trembled, their courage was exhausted, they watched their companions rush out, and then they were easily suppressed by the army of Yun , ground into a meat paste...

Even though it has been a few days since that day, as soon as I think about it now, many people feel like a nightmare, sweating profusely all over their bodies.

Hearing the clamor of the brawny man surnamed Li, Chen Laosan immediately recalled the scene of that day.

In the past few days, the things he tried to avoid and forget had become his inner demons.

At this time, the strong man surnamed Li pointed at his nose and scolded him, and opened the wound in front of everyone, Chen Laosan immediately stared at the strong man, gritted his teeth and said:

"Crazy Li, don't fart in front of my old Chen! Your little brother is not very capable, and he doesn't know how much he weighs, so he directly ran into the Yunguo army. I can't even hold him back." ..."

Having said that, Chen Laosan couldn't suppress the violence in his heart, looked around everyone with bloody eyes, and then roared in a low voice:
"It's not like you haven't seen the battle of Yunguo's army! Ask yourself, who is not afraid? Who is not afraid?"

Everyone present, looking at Chen Laosan's eyes at this time, subconsciously dodged their eyes, with the intention of avoiding them.

When planning secretly before, these people in the world who had never seen the elite of the Yun army just felt that the most difficult to deal with around the Emperor Yun were the masters of the Yun Kingdom, and they did not take the Yun Kingdom's army seriously in the slightest.

These people in the rivers and lakes, today's thinking and cognition, still stay before the world has not changed.I still think that a ninth-level master is enough to break through the existence of an army of ten thousand people.No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, in front of the five ninth-level masters they gathered, they are nothing but chickens and dogs, and they will collapse as soon as they charge.

But the result of that day was to tell these people in the rivers and lakes what the emperor's authority is, and no offense is allowed!What is the prestige of a great army, which cannot be collided with...

"Crazy Li, you are not enough because you are lucky. You were assigned to make trouble on the outside. I will ask you if you are in a different place, do you dare to do it!" Chen Laosan raised his head and stared at the strong man surnamed Li.

The strong man surnamed Li twitched his eyes and snorted coldly:
"Just fart! You are greedy for life and afraid of death, so don't think that everyone is like you!"

"you wanna die!"

"Come on, do it!"

Both of them felt that they were right, and the more they fought, the higher they got, and even pushed and shoved each other, thinking of fighting.

At this time in this hall, the martial arts people who came to gather here are originally from various sects in the Jianghu. Even before that, many people had already had conflicts and enmity, just because they wanted to assassinate Yun Huang Xiao Cheng, this Second and temporarily assembled.

At this time, because of the dispute between Chen and Li, the atmosphere among these twenty or thirty people from the Jianghu became more and more tense, and they had already begun to confront each other, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

And when the atmosphere became more and more tense, someone suddenly saw someone running in from outside the hall, shouting in his mouth:
"It's not good, it's not good! The Yunguo army is here, and many soldiers and horses have surrounded this place!"

The people who were still arguing endlessly and their swords were on the verge of breaking out were suddenly startled and stopped arguing.

The strong man surnamed Li grabbed the person who came to report the letter, and said loudly:
"What did you say?"

"We, we are surrounded by the Yun Kingdom army!"

"Impossible! Why did Yunjun find this place?" the strong man surnamed Li gritted his teeth.

"Really, there are cloud troops outside, let's retreat quickly!" The person who reported the letter even had a hint of crying in his tone.

The strong man surnamed Li threw him down and walked out of the hall quickly, wanting to go outside to have a closer look.

But as soon as he walked into the courtyard, the strong man looked up, and he froze and stood there dumbfounded.

At this time, on the top of the walls around the courtyard, the elites of the Yun army were already lying down, holding bows and crossbows, looking at the many martial arts people in the courtyard with murderous eyes.

There was only a "pop", and the gate of the courtyard was kicked open vigorously.

Dongchang Fanzi surrounded Yuhuatian, who was dressed in python robes and flowered clothes, with a feminine temperament and a handsome appearance, and filed in.

Yu Huatian looked at the martial arts people in the yard, curled his mouth, patted his palms, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay! So many people have been taken down. Your Majesty, our family can do business..."

Speaking of this, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes, glanced at everyone, raised his voice slightly, and said:

"Your Majesty has explained that these people will live. Please pay attention to our family, and be careful in your actions."

"Follow the father-in-law's order!"

The Dongchang fanzi and the generals of the Yun army shouted loudly, with awe-inspiring killing intent, filling the entire courtyard.In an instant, these people in the martial arts were reminded of the might of the Yun army that day.

All of a sudden, quite a few people were even terrified, their limbs were limp and weak, and they couldn't even hold their own weapons!

"kill!"

The military order was loud, first the rain of arrows fell, and then the masters of the army and the Dongchang fans came up and surrounded and killed all the martial arts people in the courtyard.But those who are subdued will not kill them, but only interrupt the meridians of the limbs and abolish their martial arts.

They dispatched a large army to besiege, mobilized many masters, and Yu Huatian was in charge, and if any masters were determined to resist, they immediately took action.

A group of people in the martial arts world have already lost their courage, and their combat power has been lost in vain. How can they resist?

But half an hour later, the shouts of killing in the courtyard gradually subsided, and finally became a dead silence...
-
Jiangxia Mountain is temporarily walking in it.

Anton General Yang Dayan, under the leadership of the palace servants, walked into Xiao Cheng's current bedroom with his head probed.

Looking up, he saw Xiao Cheng in the bedroom hall, wearing a purple dragon robe, with his back to Yang Dayan, standing with his hands behind his back, intently looking at a map hanging in the hall.

Yang Dayan rolled his eyes, then bent down and knelt down to salute, and shouted in his mouth:
"Your Majesty, Yang Dayan, kowtow to His Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng turned around, looked at Yang Dayan who was kneeling on the ground, smiled slightly, raised his hand and said:
"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Dayan stood up respectfully, and asked again:
"I don't know if Your Majesty summoned the minister, but what do you want to order? As long as His Majesty speaks, the minister will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate!"

Xiao Cheng shook his head slightly and said:

"It's not a big deal. Yuhuan just mentioned you yesterday, saying that it's been a long time since I saw you. I just thought that I just called you here today to have a meal together."

Yang Dayan was recommended by Yang Yuhuan to be an official in the court when Xiao Chengyu was on his own expedition.The identity of this arrangement is the Yang family's children.

Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Yang Dayan was overjoyed, and said quickly:
"Your Majesty misses you so much."

Yang Dayan, who was always thinking of making progress, did not forget that the lady Zhaoyi in the palace was her real backer.It is also the backer and core of the entire Yang family, and even the three families of Ma, Qu, and Tao, and all the disciples and old officials in the court!
Xiao Cheng heard the words, chuckled twice, and then said:
"One more thing!"

Xiao Cheng turned his body slightly, motioning Yang Dayan to look at the map hanging in the dormitory.

Yang Dayan raised his head for a look, couldn't help blinking, and looked at Xiao Cheng in a daze.

The map in front of me is a detailed map of the seven southwestern counties newly included in Yun Kingdom!
"Your Majesty, why do you want to look at the map of the Seven Counties?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng looked at Yang Dayan with a half-smile, and said:
"You can't think of it? I heard that you have been traveling around the seven counties in the past few months, patrolling various cities."

Hearing this, Yang's big eyes froze for a moment, then he suddenly realized, and said in surprise:

"Your Majesty is talking about choosing a suitable city and building a new capital?"

Damn, Mr. Xu hit the spot again!He even guessed that His Majesty wanted to choose a new capital city, what a skill!
Xiao Cheng shook his head slightly at first, then nodded again, and said:

"My ambition is to unify the world, so it's too early to choose a new capital city... Now, I want to choose a suitable city to serve as my accompanying capital!"

Today's territory of Yunguo stretches for thousands of miles from north to south, from east to west, and is extremely vast.As the capital city, Zhongqing City is already somewhat inappropriate!

Coincidentally, Xiao Cheng had drawn a purple card [Accompanied Capital System] before.

[Purple Ceka, Accompanying Capital System

Card effect: After use, you can set up a companion capital.A city established as a companion capital, popular support +10.Within three years, the capital's population and business will increase by 30% per year.A maximum of five companion capitals can be set up. For each companion capital, the rate of famous officials +1%, the rate of natural disasters -1%, the imperial prestige +5, and the probability of rebellion decreases.

Card description: Although the capital of Qin Dynasty is Guanzhong, it still imitates the system of Zhou Dongdu, and built a palace in Luoyang. 】

Taking advantage of going out for a tour, Xiao Cheng wanted to take the opportunity to choose a suitable city as his accompanying capital!
Hearing that it was only the accompanying capital, not the new capital city, Yang Dayan was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved, and said:

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Over the past few months, I have led my soldiers to travel around and traveled to many places... But to be honest, there are really not many cities that are suitable as capitals!"

Yang Dayan bowed slightly to Xiao Cheng, then bowed and walked to the map, pointed to it, and said:

"Although the land of the seven counties is large, there are not many cities that can be used as the capital."

"Jiangyang County and Dejiang County are too close to Zhongqing City. The capital moved here, which is not too different from before. It is completely unnecessary! Xiangzhou County is more remote and close to the plateau, let alone choose."

"The rest of Anshun County is too far to the north, and the roads are not smooth, so it is difficult to use it as a capital. So in the end, we can only choose a suitable city among Jiangzhou County and Shaoyang County!"

Xiao Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and said:
"That's right, keep talking!"

Seeing Xiao Chengyu's approving smile, Yang Dayan was even more excited, and continued:
"Under the rule of Shaoyang County, there are big cities Yongzhou and Hengyang Mansion. Among Jiangzhou County, Yuezhou, Wuling Mansion, and Jiangzhou City are all rich and prosperous places."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyes moved, and he said noncommittally:

"Then what do you think is better?"

Yang Dayan heard the words, blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and then said:

"Yongzhou's water conservancy is very convenient, and it is connected to the southwest. However, there is no danger in the northeast. The soldiers and horses of Yuzhang County in the Xia Kingdom can drive straight in. If this is the capital, it needs to be stationed heavily for defense. Moreover, Yongzhou has experienced military chaos, plagues, and wars before. The population There are so many losses, it is not enough to be a capital!"

"Hengyang Mansion is dangerous to defend, but there are many mountain roads and the roads are not smooth. And like Yongzhou, it has suffered from wars and has a small population."

"Jiangzhou City, uh... By the way, Jiangzhou City suffers from floods every year, and the waterlogging is serious in spring and summer, which is not good."

"Wuling Mansion and Yuezhou all rely on rivers, uh...what the hell...Anyway, it won't work!"

Yang Dayan spoke clearly at the beginning, but in the end, he struggled more and more, and finally rolled his eyes, but couldn't think of what to say.

Yang Da's eyes became more and more sluggish, his voice became lower and lower, and finally he simply shrank his head and said with a sneer at Xiao Cheng:
"Your Majesty, Xu Shu, the adjudicator under my command, told me these things... Hehe, I wanted to show off to Your Majesty, but I forgot the rest of the reasons..."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said:
"I don't know you yet? Before, you didn't know a few words, and you didn't even know official documents. If you really speak the truth, I still doubt it!"

Yang Dayan smiled awkwardly, and defended himself:

"Your Majesty, don't talk about it, the subject is different now. Although I dare not say that I know all the words in an official document, I can understand the meaning of the official document even if it is inseparable!"

Xiao Cheng didn't have the heart to argue with Yang Dayan, he just asked:

"Did Xu Shu ever say, where is it suitable?"

Yang Dayan heard the words, nodded and said:

"This minister remembers that Jiangling Mansion in Jiangyang County...but I think that this Jiangling Mansion is just a small city in Jiangyang County. The population is not too large, and the place is not considered rich. It is quite ordinary."

"Jiangling Mansion?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng subconsciously looked at Yutu, the Jiangling Mansion located between Yixian County and Yuezhou, his eyes lit up slightly.
