Ang Lee was generally considered a good person, at least Ang Lee himself thought so. Of course, Ang Lee's idea of a good person was not like Lei Feng, who did good deeds everywhere and won everyone's respect. Instead, he didn't do bad things that made his conscience uneasy. In Ang Lee's opinion, this was already a good person.
Ang Lee absolutely couldn't do things that harmed others without benefiting himself, and it was best not to do things that harmed others for his own benefit. Ang Lee didn't seem to have such high sentiments, and Ang Lee liked to do things that benefited others and himself the most.
He spent the whole afternoon with Man Man, but he didn't do anything too outrageous. Ang Lee took out a handful of gold from his arms, quietly put it in the fish basket, and then turned to leave.
At the moment of leaving, Ang Lee had already decided that he couldn't have a playful attitude with Man Man anymore. What if Man Man got serious? No matter how bad Ang Lee was, he couldn't harm her.
That's right, I definitely can't play anymore. I'm so handsome and so outstanding, Miss Man Man will definitely be tempted. It's better to end the pain quickly than to prolong the pain. This pile of gold and a dozen fish can be considered as my compensation for breaking the promise.
Ang Lee strode towards Nanning Province with firm steps. The warhorse and several guards were waiting on the side of the road a few miles away. Seeing that Ang Lee hadn't come back, several guards were so scared that their faces turned green. After seeing Ang Lee, they were greatly relieved.
Nanning Province had a curfew, but this was nothing to Ang Lee because Ang Lee was now the highest official in Nanning Province. The new commander of the army, Nan Jiyun, was trained by him. All the soldiers knew him, so of course, no one would stop him from entering the city.
Ang Lee and the guards galloped on their horses. Before midnight, they finally arrived at Nanning Province and asked the guards to open the city gate and let them in.
On the morning of the second day, Li An did not go to the little stream. This was because he had already decided that he would no longer harm Man Man with a playful attitude.
Moreover, there were still more than two months before he left Cuandi. There were some things that he still had to explain to Nan Jiyun, lest this general who had just joined the army make mistakes.
"General, General Nan is here."
Ang Lee was taken aback. He looked up and saw Nan Jiyun striding over.
"Nan Jiyun, how do you feel after becoming the commander of the army?"
Ang Lee asked happily.
Nan Jiyun chuckled: "It's not very good. I thought I thought it would be very awe-inspiring, but there are too many things to worry about..............................
. "Ang Lee was taken aback:" There's actually a woman pestering you. You've hit the jackpot. What kind of woman is she? How is her beauty? "
Nan Jiyun said with a look of disgust: "What bullshit beauty? She's Cuan Shouyu's mother, Ah Kuan. That old woman, I don't know what's wrong with her, but she keeps running to my place. Ai, bad luck!"
Obviously, Ah Kuan, this middle-aged woman, was using a honey trap on Nan Jiyun.
When Li An heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. However, he quickly stopped.
He suddenly found that Ah Kuan, this middle-aged woman, was not simple. A few days ago, Ah Kuan had been pestering him, but recently, she had been pestering Nan Jiyun. The time point in between was the day Nan Jiyun was conferred as the commander of the army.
In other words, from that day onwards, Ah Kuan should have known that Ang Lee would soon leave Cuandi, and Nan Jiyun would be the symbol of the highest power in Cuandi in the future.
What was Ah Kuan trying to do? Her son Cuan Shouyu had been conferred a title by the imperial court, and he only received a salary but did not have to work. Moreover, if there were no special circumstances, it would be impossible for this to change. Ah Kuan was so close to the highest leader of Cuandi, could it be that she had ulterior motives?
Ang Lee cursed in his heart. He frowned and looked at Nan Jiyun: "This Ah Kuan is very scheming. A few days ago, she was pestering me. You must be careful of this woman. Don't be used by her. In addition, pay close attention to the movements of Cuan Shouyu's family. If Cuan Shouyu has any intention of rebelling, he must not be allowed to stay."
Nan Jiyun nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. General, don't worry."
Ang Lee nodded and said seriously: "The army has five thousand troops. Kun Province and Nanning Province are garrisoned with two thousand troops each, and Gourd Cave has one thousand troops. However, Nanning Province is the most important. It's the bridge between Jiao Province and Yi Province. This is also the reason why the imperial court wanted to build a city in Nanning Province. Therefore, you will be stationed here in the future."
"I understand."
Ang Lee thought for a moment and continued: "The Tang dynasty can't control Cuan Land only by relying on the army. We also need to rely on the people and culture. This shouldn't be your responsibility. The officials sent by the imperial court will be responsible for it. However, it will be better if you cooperate with the officials appointed by the imperial court."
"General, I don't understand these things. I'm afraid I can't help much."
Ang Lee said: "These are very simple. It's even simpler than training soldiers and fighting a war. You only need to be responsible for the overall situation. You don't need to do it yourself."
The people and culture that Ang Lee mentioned was to improve the people's living conditions in Cuan Land and export the long-standing culture of the Tang dynasty. He wanted the people in Cuan Land to live a more prosperous life and let them identify with the excellent culture of the Tang dynasty. He wanted them to be proud of integrating into the culture of the Tang dynasty.
To be more specific, he wanted Cuan Land to completely become a part of the Tang dynasty. He wanted people to be unable to tell the difference between Cuan Land and the hinterland of the Tang dynasty.
It was very important to improve the people's living conditions. After all, Cuan Land was still a very poor and backward area. Only when the Tang dynasty entered and changed their lives and made them more comfortable and prosperous could they better support the rule of the Tang dynasty.
People were selfish, especially ordinary people. They cared more about their own lives. No matter who was ruling, as long as their lives were better, they would support the ruler. Especially those who were not educated and didn't even know what a country was, how could they have patriotic feelings?
Improving the people's living conditions was a very complicated project. It included many aspects, such as improving transportation, making the circulation of goods easier, promoting the prosperity of business, building water conservancy, increasing the risk resistance of the fields, ensuring the harvest of the fields and preventing famine, and opening schools so that the people could read and write. Of course, there was also the development of a special economy. Taking advantage of the unique climate characteristics of Cuan Land, developing large-scale planting, breeding, mining, and so on.
In short, in Ang Lee's view, Cuan Land was still a semi-wild land that had not been developed much. There was still a lot of potential to be tapped and there was still a lot of room for improvement.
In addition to improving the people's living conditions, there was another more important work, which was to export the long history and culture of the Tang dynasty. The people in Cuan Land yearned for the culture of the Tang dynasty and were proud of being Tangs. The premise of exporting the culture was, of course, inseparable from the basic construction. Schools must be built. In addition to teaching people how to write, schools could also let them learn the vast culture of the Tang dynasty and increase their sense of identity.
Of course, all of this had to be promoted by a large number of officials of the Tang dynasty. Once Cuan Land became developed, it could be regarded as the achievements of these officials. Ang Lee meant that Nan Jiyun should cooperate with and assist the local officials to develop the people's living conditions. She should not obstruct the construction of the basic infrastructure.
Ang Lee had already sent memorials to the capital regarding the expansion of transportation and the construction of water conservancy. As for the construction of schools and the transfer of teachers from the mainland, Ang Lee was still in the process of preparing. After all, there were many details that needed to be considered clearly. For example, how to let the literate talents go to Cuan Land willingly and how to let the wild children in Cuan Land learn cultural knowledge in peace.
After a year of turmoil, Cuan Land could be said to be in a state of chaos. There were too many places that needed to be invested in. Paving roads, repairing bridges, and building water conservancy all required money. Fighting bandits and crimes also required a lot of resources. That was to say, how to restore stability to Cuan Land as soon as possible mainly depended on the investment of the imperial court in Cuan Land.
Now that the imperial court of the Tang dynasty had gone through a series of wars and experienced a large-scale natural disaster, there were not many resources in the national treasury. There were not many resources to invest in Cuan Land. Therefore, Ang Lee felt that he had to think of another way.
The gold production in Luzhou was very impressive. If it could be linked to the development of Cuan Land, it would be a very good way. In this way, the gold produced in Luzhou could be directly used to develop Cuan Land. It would be a good solution to this problem.
This idea had to be approved by the emperor of the Tang dynasty, Li Longji. After all, all the land in the world belonged to the emperor. All the property in the Tang dynasty belonged to the emperor. Everything was decided by the emperor.
If Ang Lee wanted Li Longji to agree to link the gold mine with the development of Cuan Land, he had to list out the importance of Cuan Land one by one. He had to let Li Longji realize that Cuan Land was the reliable rear of the Tang dynasty. It was the bridge that connected Jiaozhou and Yizhou. Now, the Tang dynasty had strong enemies in the northeast, north, northwest, and west. The east and south were the strategic rear. Once Cuan Land was unstable, the southern part of the Tang dynasty would also be unstable. In this way, the trouble they faced would be even more troublesome. Therefore, the strategic rear must be stable. The premise was to invest more resources in Cuan Land to stabilize it as soon as possible. In three to five years, it could provide a stable tax source for the Tang dynasty, thus supporting the Tang Empire to fight against the strong enemies in the west and north.
How to phrase it was a great skill. The emperor of a country needed to consider many issues. Ang Lee's point of view had to hit the nail on the head. He had to let Li Longji realize the importance of Cuan Land so that he could fully support the development of Cuan Land.
After Ang Lee finished writing the memorial on how to develop Cuan Land step by step, he sent it to the capital. In the next few days, Ang Lee urged the recruited workers nearby to repair and strengthen the city of Nanning Province.
After several bloody battles, the city wall of Nanning Province had been badly damaged. Since the army wanted to use this place as their headquarters, they had to strengthen the city wall to ensure absolute safety.
The workers were working hard to build the city wall. The people were living a stable and happy life. However, there were also some rich clans who were unwilling to give up. They were conspiring to rebel and force the Tang Army to leave Cuan Land.
This undercurrent was brewing in the dark, and its members were mainly from the former armies of the rich clans. These people had rich combat experience and had very stubborn ethnic prejudice. They believed that they, as barbarians, should not be led by the Tang Army. This meant that they would be enslaved.
These rich clans and their followers, who were unwilling to give up, were quietly preparing to deal a fatal blow to the Tang Dynasty at the right time.
Although their conspiracy was extremely secretive, there were always traitors in any organized group. Some of them, for the sake of future glory and wealth, ran to Nan Jiyun to inform him of their plans at the risk of being retaliated against.
When Nan Jiyun heard the news, he did not make it public. Instead, he immediately went to discuss it with Ang Lee. After all, Nan Jiyun admired Ang Lee very much and felt that Ang Lee's knowledge was far beyond his own.
"General, the rich clans in Cuan Land are unwilling to give up. They are trying to rebel."
When Nan Jiyun saw Ang Lee, he went straight to the point.
When Ang Lee heard this, he was very surprised. He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Tell me slowly."
Nan Jiyun was not in a hurry. He repeated what the informant had said and asked for Ang Lee's opinion.
When Ang Lee heard this, he frowned slightly. He had a hunch. After all, after Cuan Land was taken, it was too stable. Now, the hidden undercurrent finally leaked out.
"Their target has not been determined, and their location is not known. This is more difficult. Our army only has 5,000 people. It will be difficult for us to disperse our defense. We must be prepared to know the target of these rich clans."
Ang Lee said seriously.
"General, don't worry. I have asked that man to go back. As long as there is a new situation, he will come back to report."
Nan Jiyun was not stupid. He had already thought of this.
"In two days, the officials from the capital will arrive in Cuan Land. These people are all civil officials and the pillars of the Tang dynasty. If the rich clans in Cuan Land attack them, the success rate is still very high. Moreover, it will cause a great loss to the Tang dynasty."
The first thing that Ang Lee thought of was the civil officials that would be sent by the Tang dynasty. These civil officials would be responsible for ruling and building Cuan Land. Moreover, they were all scholars. In ancient times when education was not widespread, these people were the elites of the Tang dynasty and the pillars of the Tang dynasty.
"General, then I will send 500 men to meet these officials in case they encounter any mishaps."
Nan Jiyun said.
Ang Lee gently shook his head. "No. Even if these people's target is really the officials of the Tang dynasty, we can't act rashly now. Once we send troops to protect them, they will definitely stop. In this way, it will be difficult for us to catch them all in one fell swoop. Therefore, it is safer to cast a long line to catch a big fish. First, we need to figure out the exact target of these people and make preparations in advance."
"General, you're right. Let's just wait and see what happens. We'll wait for further news before we make a decision."
Nan Jiyun said softly.
