It’s not easy to counter Yan Yunge.

It's almost impossible.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty had a vast territory, abundant materials, a large population, and sufficient troops. Not to mention countermeasures, even if it was a head-on confrontation, it would be difficult."

Ling Changzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was very sober and calm than ever before.

He said: "We need a population, a large population. With a sufficient population, we have enough troops. Relying on the advantage of geographical advantages, the two sides are fighting, and I will definitely be the only one who can make the Great Zhou army come and go.

But, if you are afraid, Yan Yunge doesn't fight with real swords and guns. She takes gentle measures to influence our people economically and culturally, and plant the seeds of the mother country in everyone's hearts.

By then, she can really take over the entire southern border without spending one soldier and one clan. It’s terrible! But she has such patience and wisdom, and she is not afraid of spending money, nor is she afraid of spending time.

Judging from her arrangements, she clearly made up her mind that she could not solve the problem of southern Xinjiang while she was alive. After her death, her sons and grandchildren would inherit her will and continue to hunt southern Xinjiang.

By then, you and I are gone, can our children and grandchildren defend the huge southern border?

The enemy uses sugar-coated shells to corrupt people's hearts and always spy and win over them. Can our children and grandchildren really defend this family business?"

Xie opened her mouth, but she couldn't guarantee it.

She is not a frivolous person, and she never easily says something she is unsure about.

She can't promise.

Although, at present, all children and grandchildren are promising and motivated.

However, he is the guardian side and Dazhou is the attacking side.

Only a thousand days are thieves, but not a thousand days are thieves.

"What do you think of? One day, will you really have to hand over the family business of several generations?"

"Of course not! I am thinking about the future, don't think about the bad things."

Xie smiled bitterly.

As far as she goes, how could she not think about it?

"What are you going to deal with the officials and envoys sent by Prince De and those supplies? Should you kill the person or..."

"Of course we cannot kill! We cannot take the initiative to provoke war, at least not for now. The materials are accepted, and the officials and envoys will let the people below be treated well. Everyone is more careful. They can win over our people, and we can also give them back to win over their people in the same way."

"What can we win over others? The Great Zhou is the country of the Heavenly Kingdom, and everyone is willing to be an official of the Great Zhou, and they are unwilling to come to southern Xinjiang to be our official. Only those who cannot survive, those born to take risks, and some businessmen are willing to come to us."

"They don't want to come, not because we are poor, but because we are not strong enough and prosperous enough. I plan to renovate the city, widen the roads outside, and lead to the seaside. We want to build a majestic city on the coast so that everyone who comes here will be willing to stay."

Xie thought for a while and nodded.

If you want to retain people, you must not only offer good conditions, but also have good living conditions, large-scale cities, and enough scholars.

Let people see the future.

More marriages are needed.

It firmly connects all major families and major tribes with the Ling family.

Use the heritage and culture of the Ling family to subtly influence those people’s marriages and influence the next generation.

As long as there are enough people in the Ling family, they will be strong enough.

In southern Xinjiang, only focusing on elites is doomed to perish.

Nowadays, the elite and population are equally important.

The family needs elite talents and a large population.

A large population of high quality.

...

Yan Yunpei feels old.

Since she came to southern Xinjiang, her life has become boring, day after day, repeating her first day's life.

Every year, I can’t find any fresh fun.

There are no large number of ladies here, no large number of banquets, no latest fashion, no prosperity...

Compared with the distant Jianzhou City, Pingzhou City in southern Xinjiang is a country bumpkin and a lump of land.

Pingzhou City is already the largest and most prosperous city in southern Xinjiang, with nearly 100,000 people living in the city.

In such a large southern Xinjiang, no place can be larger, more populous and more prosperous than Pingzhou City.

but……

In Yan Yunpei's eyes, this place is still a countryside.

She strongly longed to return to Jianzhou.

She likes the weather in Jianzhou, the grass and trees there, the tone of people's speech, and the scene of the big girl and the little wife carrying a basket to the street and seeing the handsome boy giggling.

I like feasts after banquets, and a group of noble ladies gathered together to chat about royal gossip, the north, and the most fashionable clothes and jewelry styles.

I prefer the prosperity and luxury of Jianzhou City.

She didn't marry a good husband, so what?

At least, she married the top family in the world, and was born in the eldest son.

She was not favored by Ling Changfeng, and even so, the noble ladies outside didn't dare to show her face.

To say secretly, the noble lady in her eyes has lower family status than the Ling family. Therefore, she is willing to flatter her.

No wife from a first-class family will look at her directly.

She consciously ignored this fact.

She only recalls everything beautiful, is willing to see other people's flattery, and is unhappy to face her laughter and disdain.

The idea of ​​going back is getting stronger day by day.

Pingzhou City is very far away from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there will still be news of the distant capital.

She knew that Yan Yunfei and Yan Yunqi had gone to the capital and lived a very comfortable life.

Except for some of the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty, the rest of them had a job and lived a stable life.

Maybe you are poor, maybe you have hardships in life.

But after all, it was the capital city, not the mountains and forests in southern Xinjiang, and not the whole view. The streets were filled with a group of rural bullies who had never seen the world and a group of stinky hooligans.

This is enough of this life.

Even if she doesn't go to the capital, she will at least let her return to Jianzhou.

She didn't dare to mention this matter on her own initiative, she would only turn around and let Ling Changfeng mention this matter.

However……

Ling Changfeng was not fooled. He was busy benefiting the Ling family and sleeping in women and giving birth to children every day.

In the past ten years in southern Xinjiang, Ling Changfeng has added more than a dozen sons and daughters to the Ling family.

If these children grow up, if they are of mediocre qualifications, they will be excellent for marriage.

If you have outstanding qualifications, you will definitely receive key training from the family.

He seemed to be addicted to this kind of thing and never looked north to miss his homesickness.

Yan Yunpei scolded him for forgetting his roots.

"Even if you don't want to go back to Jianzhou City, have you forgotten the Ling family's ancestral tomb?"

Ling Changfeng laughed, "The Ling family's ancestral tomb has been moved out long ago, just outside Pingzhou City. Have you forgotten the sacrifices every year?"

"You...are we going to die in this small and broken place? We have to stay in this ghost place for the rest of our lives? If we don't go to the Great Zhou and see it, we will not know what is power and prosperity..."

"Enough! If you want to go back to Jianzhou, no one will stop you, please leave!"

Yan Yunpei stamped her feet in anger.

If she could go back alone, why would she have to endure it for so many years? Why would she have to spend all her efforts to encourage Ling Changfeng?

She looked depressed, "I want to go back, but what kind of identity should I go back."

Ling Changfeng laughed and didn't have a good time, "I'll give you a divorce letter. You can get on the boat with the divorce letter, return to the Great Zhou and see the prosperous scenery."

Yan Yunpei gritted her teeth, "So many years have passed, we are all old, but you are still thinking about divorce."

"Tell you, as long as I am not dead, I will always be thinking about you."

"You're a bastard!"

Ling Changfeng had a scoundrel's ears, and he looked like he was scoundrels who didn't care, as if he was encouraging her to continue cursing, and the scolding was a little more vicious, to see if he would care at all.

Yan Yunpei sneered, "I almost forgot that you have a good friend in the capital of Dazhou, and even have a son. I didn't expect that you still have a leg with Dingtao, and you hid it deep enough. I heard that the child is now promising and has become a household name in Dazhou. Don't you want to meet him?"

Ling Changfeng seemed to be smiling but had already seen through everything.

"You don't have to test me. Don't say that I have a son in Dazhou. Even if I have ten or eight sons, I won't go back."
