Feng Yong thought for a moment and said with some hesitation, "It's just that I'm not familiar with Longxi, let alone going to the most remote place in Longxi, the Heguan area."

"Please don't worry, lord. The villain's family has little foundation in Longxi. If the lord does not give up, the villain is willing to lead the way personally."

Li Jian had been prepared for coming this time, so he volunteered immediately.

"Oh? If that's the case, then it couldn't be better!"

Feng Yong had a smile on his face.

In the past, Feng Yong always thought that the Hu people in Liangzhou were just like the Hu people in the northern desert, not good at farming.

Later, after getting to know more about it, I realized that most of the Hu people in Liangzhou are part-farmers and part-grazers.

Regarding farming, there is no need to teach at all, you can start directly.

This is much easier to use than those in Nanzhong who don't even know how to use an ox for plowing.

The big boss of Dahan Labor Company is thinking, should the labor price be raised as well?

In the past two years, due to the rise of the pig industry and the continuous spread of breeding technology, what Feng Yong was most worried about finally happened.

Swine fever, chicken fever, etc. began to occur from time to time.

Especially during this year's Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, the price of grain and meat began to rise, and farmers who were fascinated by money secretly increased the density of breeding.

So a large-scale poultry and livestock plague began.

Even the breeding farms in Nanxiang were found on a small scale. Fortunately, Li Mu strictly abided by the rules he set and culled them decisively.

There are some death row inmates in the labor camp, and they are very lucky to have improved food.

Therefore, the price of pork, which has become a common meat, has nearly doubled in the past two years.

The price of pork has increased, shouldn’t labor prices be mentioned?

Longyou, Liangzhou, and even Guanzhong are sparsely populated, which is when a lot of labor is needed to cultivate wasteland!

While Feng Junhou was thinking about it, he rubbed his thumb and index finger unconsciously.

At the same time, an indescribable smile appeared on his face: "Well, Li Langjun, where is Liangzhou? If I want to conquer Liangzhou, do you have any suggestions?"

It’s just Longxi, but my appetite is too small. Liangzhou is the vast world!

"Back to the king, if you want to pacify Liangzhou, there are two people you need to pay attention to."

"who?"

"One is Hao Zhao, the Pingqiang general, and the other is Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou."

Of course Feng Yong knew Hao Zhao.

This man's ability to defend the city was first-rate, and he was the first person in history to use rockets.

In the past, the old demon Zhuge was burned to a pulp. Now, the old demon Zhuge is not burned, but the old man Wei is furious.

As for field combat ability, Feng Yong cannot draw a conclusion for the time being.

After all, even if Sima Yi led it, he would only be defeated in front of the Tiger Infantry Army arranged by Zhuge Lao Yao in eight formations.

"Does Li Langjun know Xu Miao?"

Feng Yong asked.

Li Jian nodded: "I have heard a little bit. If you want to conquer Liangzhou, the best time is next year. The longer it is delayed, the more effort it will take."

"Why?"

When Feng Yong heard this, he became serious.

"To be honest with you, Xu Miao is the governor of Liangzhou who just took office at the beginning of this year. As soon as he came to Liangzhou, he dug canals and recruited refugees to open up wasteland and cultivate land."

"In Wuwei and Jiuquan, the salt ponds were renovated again. This year there was a drought in Liangzhou and there was a shortage of food. Xu Miao used the salt produced in Wuwei and Jiuquan, and in exchange for a lot of food, he used it to calm people's hearts."

"Coupled with his fair approach, he has convinced many Qiang and Hu tribes in just one year. The longer the time goes by, the more Xu Miao will win the hearts of Liangzhou people."

"It just so happens that this year the Han Dynasty pacified Longyou, Liangzhou was shaken, and there were three surprises in one day. There was also a severe drought, and people's hearts were floating. If the Han Dynasty could take advantage of this opportunity to march westward, it would be half the effort and twice the result."

Feng Yongjie praised: "This is a sincere and kind word!"

Thinking of the Qiang chaos in Liangzhou that plagued the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and then thinking of the current Ji Han Dynasty, Feng Yong said with emotion, "If Liangzhou is not pacified, it will be difficult to go east to Guanzhong with peace of mind."

"And Pingliang Prefecture needs to appease the Qiang and Hu. Pingliang Prefecture is easy, but fixing Liang Prefecture is difficult!"

Even after Xia Houyuan pacified Song Jian, although there was no major Qiang rebellion, the rebellion in the middle of Liangzhou never stopped.

At the beginning of last year, I heard that there was another rebellion in Xiping County, which was later put down by Hao Zhao.

After the Han-Wei War in Longyou this year, the Qiang-Hu rebellion broke out again in Longxi.

Everyone knows that we need to appease someone after a chaos has been quelled, but how can it be so easy to do it?

If the Qiang and Hu were really so easy to appease, how could they drive the Eastern Han Dynasty court almost crazy, almost to the point of giving up the entire Liangzhou?

This requires a long-term, stable and effective policy.

At the same time, every person in charge of Liangzhou must not only have outstanding abilities, but also must continue to implement this policy unswervingly.

In ancient times this was a difficult thing.

In an era when information transmission is extremely slow, the central government has no way to monitor local areas at all times. It can only rely on local officials to govern themselves, which has considerable autonomy.

Otherwise, how could a mere county magistrate be called Bailihou?

What's more, the highest official of a state, the governor or the state shepherd?

The most important thing is that ancient scholars all had ambitions—whether they were ambitions to benefit the people or selfish ambitions for themselves.

You think your policies are good, but I think my methods are better.

Xiao Gui and Cao Sui left a good reputation. It was because good policies could be continued in the hands of his successors that they were praised.

This is true even for the prime minister at the center of the imperial court, let alone local officials?

Therefore, if you want to maintain a good local policy, you have to rely on the integrity of local officials.

Ever since a certain country bumpkin entered history and caused trouble, there has been an additional method: interest groups and the bundling of interests.

If Nanzhong is an attempt, then Yuexun is perfection.

As for Longyou and Liangzhou, they have reached the stage of mature operation.

With the greed of capital and the powerful power in their hands, the powerful are simply running amok and no one can stop them.
