Obtain the divine power at the beginning

At this time, Dudu and his seven concubines led more than 8,000 cavalrymen to escort the team of Zhu Xiang, Xu Huan, Ma Dehui, Song Ziqing and others who were escorting money and grain back to the front of Hukou Waterfall.

When the heroes gathered and the soldiers met each other, they all cheered and rejoiced.

Shi Tianyu then led his people westward and northward and returned to Xiliang.

A few days later, they returned safely to Liangzhou New Ice City.

Shi Tianyu asked Dudu to lead his troops to continue to move forward, and escort the remaining hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of dan of grain to various cities and passes, to reward the soldiers, to comfort the officials, to distribute money and grain to the needy people, and to let the people with difficulties in life spend the Spring Festival safely and happily. In New Xiliang, there are not many people with difficulties in life now.

After a few years of hard work and effort, everyone's life will not be bad.

The so-called minority who have difficulties in life are mostly those with disabilities or mental retardation, and a very small number are lazy and greedy people.

Whether it is a person with a disability, mental retardation, or a lazy person, it can be found in any region of the world and it is a very normal phenomenon.

Then, Shi Tianyu asked Luo Baozhong, Zhao Minna and his wife to accompany Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie, Tornado, Long Piaopiao, Tian Cailing, Tan Chuqing and others to stroll around the Xinxiliang area to see the beautiful snow scenery and what the desert is like in the cold winter.

In addition, he asked Luo Baozhong to help Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie, Liang Xingshi and others choose a place to settle down.

All expenses are paid by local government offices.

Shi Tianyu also asked Luo Baozhong to tell the people in the local government that Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie, Tornado, Liang Xingshi and others were participating in the Liaodong campaign. As for whether they needed to pay grain and taxes in the future, they just had to wait for notification.

~

After arriving in New Xiliang and looking around, Lai Yixing, Huang Erbiao, Xie Sanjia, Xu Sifang, Wu Wulu, Xu Kezhong and others all had a great change in their thinking, ideas and attitudes. They all wanted to follow the brothers Lu Ming and Lu Liang and join the army and follow Shi Tianyu forever.

~

Shi Tianyu returned to the Millennium Black Ice House alone and reunited with wives including Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Xiangxiang, Yiyi, Fanfan, Muqing, Wodan, Ruxue, Huiwei, "Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo" and children including Zhu Junkai, Shi Bingbing, Shi Haichuan and Shi Jiahan.

Shi Tianyu also brought out wives and children such as Wang Jing, Liu Rufei, Xifangzhi, Mei Qiaoqian, Chen Yuanyuan, etc. from the system space. Hundreds of people in the family celebrated the Spring Festival together in this huge thousand-year-old Xuanbing House, which symbolizes the power center of Xiliang.

The ladies were all very excited when their husbands returned. They were all overjoyed and smiling sweetly.

Helan Minyue ordered the female soldiers to close the Millennium Mysterious Ice Door of the Millennium Mysterious Ice House and never allow Shi Tianyu to leave the house again.

In this way, the ladies took turns to serve Shi Tianyu.

More than a hundred ladies!

This really exhausted Shi Tianyu.

~

Shi Tianyu can only go out after the Lantern Festival.

He first brought wives and children including Wang Jing, Liu Rufei, Xifang Zhi, etc. back to the system space.

Then, Shi Tianyu took Dudu and his seven concubines, Shi Yuyan, Li Zhenhai, Jin Liufu, Gongsun Ren and others to tour various places.

He met with old subordinates such as Dai Kun, Liu Cong, Lu Yuan, Lu Chusheng, Bai Youlong, Xiang Laixiang, etc. one after another, inspected various passes and cities, and sent dozens of boxes of Feitian wine to Bal Wulonghai, Po Chou, Wu Jie and others.

In this way, he encouraged his rather rough father-in-law, Bal Wulonghai, to guard Xining well.

By the way, Shi Tianyu also secretly met with the beautiful and plump Han Yufeng, who had been thirsty for a long time, and visited his two sons Liu Hongde and Liu Rende. Dudu also took the opportunity to sneak to Yumenguan New Ice City and reunited with Duoduo, Mingyue, Minmin, Shiyu, Yayun and other ladies who had been leading troops to guard Yumenguan New Ice City.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu took Zhu Lili and the four children and led his troops to Ronghe City outside Yumen Pass to visit his father-in-law Zhu Shuilong and the soldiers, and presented Zhu Shuilong and his generals with a batch of Feitian fine wine.

This made Zhu Shuilong and his generals very happy, and they all laughed so hard that their teeth were showing.

~

Then, Shi Tianyu led his troops back to Liangzhou New Ice City, and also went to Crescent Lake New Ice City to visit Long Piaopiao who was there with his father to spend the Spring Festival. Long Piaopiao saw Shi Tianyu from afar, and ran over, throwing himself into his arms with ecstasy and excitement.

Shi Tianyu held the hand of Long Piaopiao and met Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie, Long Feng and others in the new "Remembering Jiangnan" villa, where combustible ice was burning and the interior was warm as spring. They asked them whether they were used to living here.
The heroes all said that life here was very comfortable. They could see endless yellow sand, endless ice and snow, eat the specialties of Xiliang, and get drunk and sing in Bingju’s newly built “Remembering Jiangnan” villa.

Moreover, there are electric lighting facilities and methane hydrate.

Living in an ice cave, it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Life here is so beautiful and so desirable.

In the future, let’s work together to plant more flowers, plants and trees and turn more deserts into oases.

~

Afterwards, Shi Yuyan, Li Zhenhai, Jin Liufu, Linghu Zhan and other Jiangnan heroes met Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie, Long Juanfeng and others, and they were all filled with emotion. Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie, Liang Xingshi, Long Juanfeng and others were also very impressed by the gathering of talents and the brilliant stars in New Xiliang.

With so many martial arts heroes guarding New Xiliang, why should we fear the enemy's invasion?
~

Tan Chuqing naively asked Shi Tianyu whether he would move the Hengshan School, Emei School and other martial arts schools to New Xiliang in the future?
Haha! Upon hearing this, the heroes all burst into laughter.

Shi Tianyu explained with a smile that for those who come to live here, everything is voluntary.

The government offices in Xiliang will not force anyone to live here.

As for all the major martial arts sects in the world, they would be willing to live a better life here.

As long as they are willing to come, government offices at all levels will arrange their production and life.

~

After some pleasantries, Shi Tianyu asked Tian Cailing with a smile: "Sister, since you came here, have you met any new unmarried women from the martial arts world?"

Long Piaopiao's heart suddenly started beating fast and her expression changed immediately. She thought Shi Tianyu was going to take in a concubine or marry some new princesses!

So, Long Piaopiao couldn't help but curse Shi Tianyu in her heart: What a damn stone demon, he can't stand the loneliness so quickly!

Isn't it because I left you for half a month? Humph! You are such a piece of shit.

The heroes were also stunned, staring at Shi Tianyu blankly, thinking that Shi Tianyu was going to hold an open audition for a princess!

~

Shi Tianyu looked around and saw everyone's doubts, so he explained with a smile, "Dear seniors and heroes, please don't misunderstand. Generals Lu Ming and Lu Liang are still single. If any heroes know any beautiful girls, please introduce them to Generals Lu Ming and Lu Liang to see if you can solve their long-standing problem."

When the heroes heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did they understand what was going on.

Tian Cailing and Tan Chuqing both patted their chests, finally feeling relieved.

~

Lu De said jokingly: "Wow, is the romantic luck really coming? That's great, General Lu finally has a companion, and this winter won't be cold." "Hahahaha!" The heroes burst into laughter.

Long Piaopiao finally let go of the heart that had been hanging in her throat, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Tian Cailing blushed and said, "Your Majesty, I just met the twin daughters of Master Lin from Camel Bell Escort Agency in Crescent Moon Lake New Ice City. One of them is called Lin Jie and the other is called Lin Jing. They are both very good at martial arts and very pretty."

Shi Tianyu slammed the table and stood up, saying excitedly: "That's great! However, we need to find a matchmaker. Everyone, who is willing to be the matchmaker? If someone gets married, our New Xiliang will have successors! This is a great thing!"

~

Tian Yingluo volunteered with a smile, "I will go and propose marriage to the two generals right away."

After saying that, he really got up and left.

Jiang Huotian said jokingly, "Senior Tian, ​​are you serious?"

Tian Yingluo stroked his gray beard and said seriously, "Can this be fake? Can such a thing be faked?"

Lu Ming said excitedly: "Great! Someone will keep your feet warm this winter."

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

They stayed in this ice house, waiting for good news from Tian Yingluo.

~

Unexpectedly, when Tian Yingluo proposed marriage, the old escort Lin actually agreed very much.

It should be noted that although the brothers Lu Ming and Lu Liang look a bit vulgar, they are generals under Shi Tianyu after all.

With the banner of "Shi Wangye", especially with the slogan that resounded through the world and everyone would shout, "Huangsha wears golden armor after a hundred battles, Shi Lang's clever plan brings peace to the world", how could the old escort Lin not like the Lu brothers? So he immediately brought Lin Jie and Lin Jing to Tian Yingluo's Bingjuli to meet the heroes and the brothers Lu Ming and Lu Liang.

~

Lin Jie and Lin Jing both have dignified looks.

Moreover, they are quite bold and not very shy.

In particular, they are very sensible: men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough.

In terms of appearance, Lin Jie is tall.

Lin Jing is fat.

~

In such a scene, Shi Tianyu sat down in the middle and said to Lu Ming and Lu Liang with a smile: "Two generals, which one do you want to pick?"

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Long Piaopiao raised her finger and praised secretly: My husband is such a good man! He is so kind-hearted!
As a prince, he actually worries about such things.

~

Lin Jie and Lin Jing both blushed with shame and kept their heads down in silence.

The two sisters are not very good-looking, but they are worthy of the audience.

If they could marry the generals under Prince Shi, they would have no regrets in their lives.

Lu De then said to Lu Ming jokingly: "Lu Ming, Miss Lin Jie is taller than you, so you should choose Miss Lin Jie. This is called learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses." "Hahahaha!" The heroes burst into laughter again.

Liang Xingshi, Tornado, Tian Yingluo, Chen Lie and others all laughed until tears came out.

Jiang Huotian also said jokingly: "General Lu Liang likes fat people. Fat people have high calories and are warmer in winter. This is called taking fat to replenish thinness. I suggest that General Lu Liang choose Miss Lin Jing."

"Hahahaha!"

For a moment, Tian Yingluo's ice house was very lively and full of laughter.

After the laughter, Shi Tianyu immediately pulled down two boxes of large silver ingots from the treasury in the system space garden and gave them to Lin Lao Escort as a betrothal gift. For Lin Lao Escort, even if he worked as a escort for several lifetimes and lived a life of danger in the martial arts world, he might not be able to earn so much money. In this case, how could Lin Lao Escort not be excited?

At this, Master Lin's eyes immediately filled with tears, and he was so excited that he could not speak.

The Lu brothers were so moved that their eyes filled with tears. They never expected that Shi Tianyu would care so much about the lives of his generals. They could not help but kneel in front of Shi Tianyu again, and both clenched their fists and swore that they would be loyal to Prince Shi forever in this life, otherwise, Lu would be punished by God.

~

Shi Tianyu smiled and helped the two Lu brothers up, and said loudly: "My fellow heroes, it is better to do it now than to wait for a day. In our Crescent Moon Lake New Ice City, there is a Juying Tower. Now, let's hold a wedding for the two Generals Lu and the two Miss Lin, and also bring good luck to our New Xiliang in the new year. I wish our New Xiliang a prosperous population and a lot of wealth! What do you think?"

"Good! Great! Bang!"

The crowd immediately cheered loudly and clapped their hands in praise.

So, the heroes surrounded the Lu brothers and the two daughters of the Lin family and went to the "Juying Tower" to hold a grand wedding.

The ceremony was quite simple, but the wedding was lively.

The patron king Shi Tianyu also attended the wedding in person.

The Lin father and daughter and the Lu brothers were all very proud, very satisfied, very moved and very excited.

That night, the heroes drank and made noises in the "Juying Tower", and they were having a great time.

~

Shi Tianyu, carrying Long Piaopiao, together with Dudu and his seven concubines, performed the "Immortal Steps" and returned to the New Ice City of Liangzhou and the Millennium Black Ice House. Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Xiangxiang, Mu Qing and other ladies warmly embraced their husbands who had returned from official duties.

Long Piaopiao was filled with disappointment. She didn't expect that Shi Tianyu actually had so many wives and children.

When Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Mu Qing and other beauties embraced Shi Tianyu, the sad and lost Long Piaopiao turned away sadly and disappeared under the snowy night. When Shi Tianyu got out of the arms of Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Mu Qing and other beauties and wanted to introduce Long Piaopiao to Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Xiangxiang, Mu Qing and other beauties, he found that Long Piaopiao had disappeared. Shi Tianyu hurriedly asked Helan Minyue to inform the disciples of the Tiandihui to find the whereabouts of Long Piaopiao.

Helan Minyue agreed readily, but did nothing.

Even if there was news about Wei Xueyan and Long Piaopiao, Helan Minyue would not tell Shi Tianyu.

Apart from this, you can tell Shi Tianyu any other news except this one.

~

Winter passes and spring comes, and everything revives.

Spring is not the time to fight, so Shi Tianyu still focuses on raising money and food in the spring, and also looks for the whereabouts of Wei Xueyan and Long Piaopiao. Shi Tianyu decided to raise money and food in Jingzhou in the new year.

Jingzhou is dotted with thousands of lakes, like gems inlaid on the green land, sparkling brightly under the warm spring sunshine.

~

A breeze blew, and the fresh and fragrant scent of earth came towards me.

Shi Tianyu sent Dudu and his seven concubines, Tian Lufeng, Ma Dehui, Zhu Xiang, Xu Huan, Liu Cong, and Han Yufeng and his wife to lead their troops south to Jingzhou to first investigate the security and venue of Jingzhou, and prepare to hold singing and dancing performances by Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and other beauties.

This was also used to increase publicity for the fight against the Qing troops, while also raising food and funds.

This time, Shi Tianyu also dispatched all cavalry.

However, the number of people and horses increased greatly, with a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, which was a formidable momentum.

In addition, there are 35,000 cavalry led by Kui Xinlong, Han Yuchang, and Youyou, including power technicians, who are staying in the large garden of Shi Tianyu's system space and can attack the enemy at any time.

~

Tian Yingluo, Tornado, Tian Cailing, Tan Chuqing, Shi Yuyan, Li Zhenhai and others rode their horses ahead to explore the way.

In this way, the army led by Dudu can be prevented from being ambushed by various rebel forces or people in the martial arts world.

Shi Tianyu, accompanied by Lu Ming and Lin Jie, Lu Liang and Lin Jing, Luo Baozhong and Zhao Minna, Lu Dede and Jiang Huotian, rode slowly south to find out the news about Wei Xueyan and Long Piaopiao.

~

Birds are singing in spring, orioles are singing and swallows are dancing.

Li Biao, the governor of Huguang, was quite annoyed when he received the messenger sent by Shi Tianyu first. He thought: Now, I am worried about not being able to complete the taxation task assigned by the court, and this guy named Shi wants to come to Jingzhou to raise grain and funds?
Damn it, I’m already drinking thin porridge, but this bastard named Shi wants to share a bowl. What a piece of shit.

~

However, Shi Tianyu was a patron king of the Ming Dynasty court, and now he was the nominal commander of Liaoxi and the prefect of Guangning, so Li Biao had to send people to welcome Shi Tianyu to Jingzhou. So Li Biao asked Cheng Jichong, the new governor of Huguang, to rush to Jingzhou to receive Shi Tianyu, Dudu and his soldiers to avoid so many of Shi Tianyu's troops entering Jingzhou and causing conflicts with the court troops stationed in Jingzhou.

Cheng Jichong did not think as Li Biao did. Instead, he personally led all the officials above the ninth rank in Jingzhou out of the city in a grand and solemn manner to welcome Shi Tianyu and his soldiers.

~

Cheng Ji Chong is a middle-aged man with a fair face, no beard, and a handsome appearance. He is about forty years old.

After he led the people out of the city, he first ordered the officials accompanying him to cheer in unison, "The yellow sand has worn golden armor after a hundred battles, and Shi Lang's clever plan has brought peace to the world." When Shi Tianyu rode up, Cheng Jichong politely came to Shi Tianyu's BMW, clasped his hands, bowed, and said, "Your humble servant Cheng Jichong pays homage to Lord Shi!"

Spring is back, the wind is gentle, the peach blossoms are pink, the willows are green, and the branches and leaves are swaying.

Shi Tianyu dismounted quickly, clasped his fists and greeted Cheng Jichong with courtesy, and said warmly: "Hello, Master Cheng! I have been to Jingzhou many times before, and I always wanted to pay a visit to Master Cheng, but unfortunately I never had the chance. I didn't expect to meet Master Cheng today. I am so lucky!"

Cheng Jichong bowed and said, "Thank you Prince Shi for your concern! I will introduce you to the officials of Busi Mansion and Jingzhou government office." After that, he turned sideways and introduced Liang Laixing, the left councilor of Busi Mansion and prefect of Jingzhou, Zhang Hai, the co-magistrate, Huang Chengcheng, the magistrate, Cheng Zhengfu and others.

~

Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng, and Cheng Zhengfu were all brought over by Pan Ruzhen from the officialdom in Jiangnan.

Because there were not many vacancies at the time, some people like Liang Laixing and Zhang Hai accepted the positions and some were promoted.

Now, Pan Ruzhen has been arrested by Zhu Youjian because he was involved in the crimes of Wei Zhongxian and his gang.

Liang Laixing and others are still alive and in officialdom because Zhu Youjian did not want to be involved too widely.

Now, when these people saw Shi Tianyu, they were all surprised and excited.

Seven or eight years ago, when Shi Tianyu was still struggling for his household registration, Liang Laixing was already the prefect of Hangzhou, Zhang Hai was the co-magistrate, Huang Chengcheng was the assistant magistrate, and Cheng Zhengfu was the deputy leader of the Youlong Gang in Hangzhou.

During these seven or eight years, Shi Tianyu has been promoted to prince.

It's really like that, things change over time. Life is unpredictable!
Now, it was their turn to bow and nod to Shi Tianyu.

~

Shi Tianyu recognized Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai and others, then turned sideways and said to Cheng Jichong with a smile: "Sir Cheng, these are either my old friends or my mentors." After that, he walked towards Liang Laixing and others.

Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng, Cheng Zhengfu and others hurried to Shi Tianyu's side, clasped their hands, bowed, and said, "Your subordinates Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng, and Cheng Zhengfu respectfully welcome Lord Shi."

Shi Tianyu said: "Master, there is no need to be polite. Today we are just reminiscing about the past, not discussing official business."

After saying that, he stretched out his hands, took Liang Laixing and Zhang Hai's hands, and walked into the city together.

When Liang Laixing heard Shi Tianyu call him his mentor, he was flattered, extremely excited, and choked with tears.

~

Zhang Hai was very excited to see that Shi Tianyu had not forgotten him, and he secretly thought: When Shi Tianyu was in trouble in Hangzhou, he lived in my house. At that time, Liu even gave up his study room as a private school to provide Shi Tianyu with the opportunity to study and a good environment. Moreover, this boy is Liu An'er's husband and the sworn brother of his son-in-law Liu Sen. His beloved daughter Zhang Xin has to rely on Shi Tianyu to avenge her adoptive father Xiong Tingbi in the future!
Cheng Jichong, Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng, Cheng Zhengfu and others booked a meal at the "Qie'e" building, the most famous inn in the city, and hosted a grand banquet for Shi Tianyu and his generals.

~

During the banquet, Shi Tianyu repeatedly toasted Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng, Cheng Zhengfu and others, thanking them for their care for him in the past.

Cheng Ji Chong's enthusiasm for Shi Tianyu is not without reason.

After three cups, his true colors were exposed, and he used his ultimate move to turn the tables and ask Shi Tianyu for money and food.

Cheng Jichong stood up and bowed again, saying, "Lord Shi, you are young and promising, and you have a good way of raising money. I have just arrived in Huguang to take up my post, and I would like to ask Lord Shi for support and sponsorship of some money to solve the livelihood problems in Huguang."

Moreover, he was asking Shi Tianyu for money and food in front of all the officials.

~

Cheng Jichong was a gentle man with mediocre political achievements, and he was usually amiable.

No one would have thought that such a sanctimonious person had such a complicated inner world.

He made this request in such an occasion, which surprised all the officials who were accompanying him. They suddenly felt afraid of Cheng Jichong and thought to themselves: You can't judge a person by his appearance, and the sea is immeasurable!
It seems that a well-mannered person is not necessarily a good person.

~

At this moment, if Shi Tianyu did not give Cheng Ji some money and food, Shi Tianyu would lose face in front of all the officials.

In particular, the amount of money given cannot be too small.

If he gives too little, it will make Shi Tianyu appear incompetent and lacking courage.

If Shi Tianyu gave Cheng Jichong money and food, and gave too much, then no matter where Shi Tianyu led his troops to raise food and funds in the future, it would be very difficult, and those local officials would definitely learn from Cheng Jichong and ask Shi Tianyu for money.

Moreover, Cheng Ji Chong's move also shows that he is very intelligent and capable.

He could deal with Shi Tianyu by going out of the city to greet him and having a meal with him.

Moreover, the current emperor Zhu Youjian is also involved behind this.

It was a very clever strategy for Cheng Ji Chong to bring up this matter in public at this time.

~

Liang Laixing, Zhang Hai, Huang Chengcheng, Cheng Zhengfu and other officials who were present felt it was hilarious but did not dare to laugh out loud.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said with pride and cheerfulness: "Haha, Mr. Cheng's difficulties are my difficulties, and people's livelihood issues have always been my special concern. No problem! No problem! I will take care of this matter. I want to stay in Jingzhou for a while. Please ask Mr. Cheng to say hello to Governor Li on my behalf. I will visit Governor Li another day."

Zhu Xiang, Liu Cong, Xu Huan and others thought to themselves: This is terrible! We have just arrived in Jingzhou and have not yet raised money and food. We have just settled down, but Cheng Ji Chong has framed us and we have to pay some money and food to this dog official?

Oh! Lord Shi miscalculated this time and lost a lot of money.

~

Shi Tianyu didn't think so in his heart. He thought: Cheng Jichong is not only a handsome man, but also very capable in dealing with people and officials. He is gentle but has the venom of a tiger and a wolf. If he really gets ruthless, I'm afraid there will be few people in the current officialdom who can beat him.

Damn it, I didn’t ask Cheng Jichong for money or food, but Cheng Jichong asked me for money and food.

This is a very difficult opponent!

Well, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid.

Hehe! Cheng Ji Chong, you old man, just wait until I gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and then I will make you cough up more silver.

~

Shi Tianyu is no ordinary man. He has experienced countless dangerous things. In just seven or eight years, he was promoted from a small county magistrate of the seventh rank to a prince. Moreover, he was a prince of a different surname. This makes him a top expert in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty court.

So, Shi Tianyu agreed verbally, but was still thinking about it in his mind.

Cheng Ji Chong was very happy to see Shi Tianyu patting his chest and guaranteeing that he would give some money and food. He raised his glass to express his gratitude and said, "Haha! Thank you, Lord Shi, for your strong support for Huguang and me. I offer you a glass of wine."

The two men raised their cups, clinked their glasses together lightly, and then each raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp.

In this way, the dinner was very enjoyable, and all the officials on Cheng Jichong's side were very happy and proud.

~

The stars and moon are dim, and the night is getting deeper and deeper.

After the dinner, Shi Tianyu asked Dudu to book the "Jingmen Inn" in the city for the generals to stay.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu returned to his room and planned to enter the system space to visit Cheng Honglian, Li Qi and other pregnant ladies.

At this time, Zhu Xiang, Liu Cong, Xu Huan, Ma Dehui and others followed and entered one after another.

Among them, Ma Dehui said anxiously: "Your Highness, we are careless this time and have lost Jingzhou! We have just settled down and have not yet raised money and food, but we have to donate money and food to Cheng Jichong, that thief."

Shi Tianyu nodded and said with emotion: "I did not expect Cheng Ji Chong to be such a powerful person. At first, I thought he was just receiving us out of courtesy, but I did not expect that he would suddenly ask me for money and food in public at the banquet.

In this case, can this king not agree to his request? It is understood that this person is someone that the current emperor values ​​very much.

In a few months, Cheng Ji Chong will become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. We can't offend him!
Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for us to fight in Liaodong in the future. In the future, our battle reports, achievements, battle situation, and even some requests for money, food, and military support from the court will be like a drop in the ocean.

Li Biao, the governor of Huguang, will become the chief minister of the cabinet around March, ahead of Cheng Jichong.

This person is not someone we can afford to offend."

~

"What? What what?"

Liu Cong, Zhu Xiang and Ma Dehui asked questions in horror, all shocked by the future official positions of Li Biao and Cheng Jichong.

Xu Huan was full of scholarly air, and cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead. He asked Shi Tianyu tremblingly: "My Lord, what should we do? How much money and grain should we donate to Cheng Ji Chong? Among all the regions in the Ming Dynasty, the officials in Xiliang have the heaviest burden.

Because our people live the best lives, our government offices at all levels have advanced a lot of money and grain to our people!

Moreover, our Xiliang will not start to receive tax revenue until June this year.

More importantly, this is still an unknown.

Even though we are usually nice to the people, when the time comes for them to pay taxes and grain, they may not necessarily do so.

Before this, on Feiyu Island, more than 300,000 people refused to pay taxes and grain, and the prince sent soldiers to behead them as a warning to the public.

But Xiliang is different from Feiyu Island.

On Flying Fish Island, you need a boat to escape.

However, in our Xiliang area, those who refuse to pay taxes and grain can just run away."

It's really anxious, the analysis is very accurate, and it's quite far-sighted.

According to Xu Huan's analysis, Shi Tianyu and his officials and soldiers will encounter more difficult problems in the future.
