It's a pity that Chu Feng really can't leave for Yizhou because Ouyang Lan came with the imperial edict.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Chu Feng, the lord of Fengjiang City, has made great contributions to stationing in Fengjiang. He is specially appointed as the governor of Fengjiang. He also assists various places in the south to eliminate banditry. I hereby express my gratitude."
When Ouyang Lan handed over the imperial edict to Chu Feng, Chu Feng was so angry that he said directly: "Your Majesty, are you old and confused? I am the lord of Fengjiang City, but I am Wu Xun! Now give me the title of governor. This is a feudal official position and belongs to Civil servant! You asked me to clean up the bandits again. This is what a military general should do! Are you going to cause trouble for me in order to prevent me from getting away? "
"As a minister, and you are also the consort, I trust you very much if I can give you important responsibilities. Don't be dissatisfied. I heard that you have developed well in Fengjiang City. Are you as rich as the country now?"
Ouyang Lan asked softly, she has become more mature and charming after not seeing her in the past year. And it has more weight in Chu Feng's eyes.
"What kind of wealth can rival the country? Don't listen to the rumors. It has just begun to develop. The real profits have not yet begun. However, there is enough food, and various businesses have made a good start. However, the population in the south is still a bit small, and the population in Daliang It would be really good if the relocation policy could be revised. Someone would be able to plant large areas of paddy fields!"
Chu Feng didn't hide it from Ouyang Lan. In fact, he really wanted to attract more people to the south!
Now in the south of Daliang, except for a few places with abundant land, the population is pretty good. In many places there are many lakes, abundant aquatic plants, crocodiles and water bandits. As a result, the population is really sparse, and the people of Daliang are very homesick, so many northerners are unwilling to come to the south.
Of course, Daliang's population migration policy is also very strict, and the government's population registration procedures are very complicated. Once you leave your hometown, you are likely to become a black householder. You will not be able to become a naturalized citizen in another place, and you will not be able to receive land!
"Hmph, your ambition is so big. What do you want with such a large population? I heard that you are going to be the king of the barbarians! You even bought two or three islands from the barbarians, and you even have a relationship with the barbarian princess. I don't know. Ambiguous. How do you explain this?"
Ouyang Lan suddenly changed his expression and asked in a deep voice.
Chu Feng was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, it's that villain again, talking nonsense! Those three islands were all ceded by the barbarians based on my ability! Now they belong to Daliang! I am Daliang's pioneer. A hero of the soil! Now I am the lord of Fengjiang City. Isn’t it right to have a good relationship with my neighbors? Is it necessary to beat them to death and waste the people’s money and food?”
"Okay, I know you are very articulate. When you came here, His Majesty said, when will you hand over the formula for the cement you made?"
Ouyang Lan suddenly changed his expression, smiled softly and asked kindly.
Chu Feng said in his heart: "Sure enough, the old boy can't hold it anymore!"
"Ahem, what cement? It's a kind of dust unique to the barbarians. I didn't make it. So I have no way to give it to the court for free. If you really want to spend money, just buy it."
Chu Feng indeed lied and made up his mind to fight to the end. It's a pity that Ouyang Lan chuckled and said: "Are you looking down on the Nu family? Do you think the Nu family has an informant in the barbarian tribe? Or do you think the Nu family has an informant in Fengjiang City? The Nu family generally knows how to make that kind of cement. ! I want it from you, just to see your sincerity."
Chu Feng was not scared. He immediately sneered and said: "Since you can create it, you still ask me for it and test me. It seems that you don't believe me at all, which really makes me sad."
"Don't beat me up, let me tell you, if it weren't for Duoduo's sake, the slave family would have arrested you directly this time! Just because you had an affair with a barbarian princess, this one is enough! Chu Feng, if the slave family guessed right , the twins born by Wu Xiuting should be yours, right?"
Ouyang Lan also asked with a sneer.
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the son born by Princess Rong should be attributed to Wu Xiuting. Otherwise, the fact that Princess Rong gave birth to a child would be a huge scandal for the royal family.
At that time, Li Er probably wanted to chop himself alive, because with Li Er's mind, he could definitely imagine that he was the only one who could mess with Princess Darong's belly. In other words, he is the only one who dares to enlarge the belly of his siblings!
"That's right. Men, dare to take action!"
Chu Feng said loudly without any scruples. He was not afraid that Ouyang Lan would fall out with him because of this. Because the matter between him and Wu Xiuting has long been spread in the capital, even Zhaoyang knows about it.
"What a brave person. In fact, Duoduo also has your child. I hope that by then, you will also be brave enough!"
As Ouyang Lan spoke, she suddenly lowered her voice and continued: "You said that if His Majesty knew, you didn't even let the princess have a baby, but you gave him your niece..."
"Stop it, I'm afraid of you, okay? Tell Duoduo that I will be good to her and let her give birth to the child with peace of mind. I can't guarantee what status I will give her, but I will definitely make her and the child happy. There must be a place for Duoduo in my home."
Chu Feng finally bowed his head to Ouyang Lan, of course because of Ouyang Duoduo. After all, Ouyang Duoduo is Li Er's biological niece. Li Er definitely doesn't want his son-in-law to mess around with his niece and give birth to him first. child! I can only lower my head and beg Ouyang Lan, this woman helped cover it up!
"Hmph, you still have some conscience. Let me tell you again that the current prince is foolishly trying to win over people. Your majesty has been so angry that he has not eaten well for two or three days. During this period, you must be honest and honest. Nanfang, don't make His Majesty angry. By the way, the sisters' association created by Princess Zhaoyang is developing too fast. This is actually not a good thing.
For when there are many people there is chaos. You should still write a letter to persuade her, no one else dares to win her over!
What Your Majesty actually hates the most is messing around with people! Haven't you noticed that Chen Eryin is not very close to you? This is the shrewdness of Marquis Pingnan. Although he calls himself your godfather, he stays away from you. Even in front of His Majesty, he will not take the initiative to intercede for you! Because he knows His Majesty’s thoughts very well! "
Listening to Ouyang Lan's words, Chu Feng felt warm in his heart. No matter what, Duoduo's mother still cared about her godson-in-law!
After sending Ouyang Lan away, Chu Feng did not immediately carry out any action to clear out the water bandits, because this year, he only focused on developing agriculture and economy, but did not pay much attention to military training.
Of course, all the 6,000 city guards under his command are equipped with new weapons. This is of course inseparable from the growing number of weapons workshops in Yizhou!
The three thousand musketeers made Chu Feng feel extremely safe! I feel like I dare to fight the Huns!
Two thousand stormtroopers, one man and two horses, each with sixty sharp steel short javelins! It can be said that it is full of lethality!
A thousand crossbowmen, each with a crossbow. However, the compound bow is too difficult to make, and only fifty or sixty condor shooters are worthy of owning it!
Of course, Chu Feng also has a barbarian guard of a thousand people! Hurha is the captain of a thousand men, and Black Girl Dalia is the deputy general. However, Chu Feng has not equipped them with modern weapons, but the stainless steel armor and uniform axes make them not afraid of any thousand-man team!
