When Chu Yun and merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty reached a consensus, they left the main hall one after another and went to other places to negotiate with officials from various departments. If they wanted to build a contracted house, they needed to bid from the Land Management Office, but if they wanted to contract workers' catering, they needed to bid from the mining site.

Now, in addition to the army, Chu Yun has also established a large number of new administrative departments, completely ignoring the bureaucratic system of the previous Ming Dynasty. In any case, in southern Liaoning and part of Liaodong recovered from the Later Jin forces and abolished the Jin people's system and officials, it was a blank, just breaking the re-establishment.

At present, the system in southern Liaoning is the management system of bureaus, departments and departments, as well as production institutions such as official mining farms, smelters, textile factories, etc. Their status is at different levels according to their scale. Influenced by Chu Yun, the officials under his command no longer attach great importance to the positions granted to them by the court. Only when the Liao army has substantive power can they have the weight and status of speaking!

Moreover, the salary given to them by the Liao army was much richer than that of the imperial court, and they were also enthusiastic about improving the quality of life of officials. For example, recently Chu Yun wanted to build a free toilet for their residence, if the toilet experience could be improved...

After these merchants left, Chu Yun specially left a group of merchants from Annan Kingdom. The merchants from Annan Kingdom did not want to participate in the Liaodong City construction bidding. Even if they were willing, Chu Yun would not let Annan Kingdom interfere in the construction of his own power.

Chu Yun didn't have to think about it and knew that these Annan businessmen just happened to catch up with this investment promotion conference. They just wanted to get in touch with themselves. Their purpose was to discuss other big businesses. Of course, they had to make money.

"Please, everyone, this is the best tea picked around Qingming Festival in our Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan. Only emperors and senior officials can enjoy it." Chu Yun smiled and asked his subordinates to make good tea for merchants in Annan.

"Thank you, General." Annan businessman bowed slightly to Chu Yun, raised his teacup, and looked at how Chu Yun tasted the tea leaves with his eyes. He also learned to taste tea in a decent manner, afraid of making a joke.

"I wonder who the last few names are?" Chu Yun asked.

"The following is called Zheng Chi, who is a member of the Zhengzhu tribe." Annanguo's businessman leader said to Chu Yun.

"Master Zheng?" Chu Yun said in confusion. Chu Yun was really not clear about the situation in Annan Kingdom at this time. Who should pay attention to such a small country without any trouble...

Of course, perhaps in the eyes of Annan, they are the dominant region in the southeast, but in the eyes of powerful countries such as the Ming Dynasty, Later Jin, Mongolia, Goryeo, and Japan, Annan is just a small region.

"Well, our Zheng Lord assists the King of Annan Kingdom and is fighting with the rebel general Ruan from the southern region. We are specially sent to seek assistance." Zheng Chi said.

"Can you tell me in detail? I can also know what happened in your country and provide help to you." Chu Yun's understanding of the Nanyang region was almost blank, so he took this opportunity to learn about it.

According to what Zheng Chi said, the Annan Kingdom was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties at this time, and the royal power declined. The Zheng general in the north used the emperor to order the princes to attack the traitors, similar to the shogunate generals in the Japan. The Ruan tribe in the south accused the Zheng family of his behavior and took the opportunity to be independent in the south. A major war broke out between the two forces of the north and the south. Zheng led 100,000 imperial guards to attack the Ruan Master, hoping to unify the Annan Kingdom, but was defeated by Ruan Master.

Lord Ruan also built a long 11-kilometer-long wall at the junction of the north and south forces, and placed a cannon a few meters away, and prepared enough ammunition, making Lord Zheng unable to sleep or eat.

"I heard what you said, the population of the Ruan family is only one-fifth of that of your Zheng Lord, and it is in the southern region with a harsh environment. Why can they defeat Zheng Lord's 100,000 troops, and... so many artillery?" Chu Yun was secretly surprised when he heard Zheng Chi's words.

If they really say that a long wall prevents an artillery every few feet, wouldn’t it be that the Ruan family has hundreds of artillery? It’s terrible that a mere Annan country, or just a southern force, has such powerful firepower, which is incredible...

Chu Yun was a little suspicious about the fact that Annan merchant exaggerated the strength of the Ruan family.

"The General of the Celestial Dynasty did not know that the Ruan tribe colluded with the Franji people and bought a large number of artillery and warships from them, and took the lead in defeating our navy in the battle, which made us in a dilemma. He also bombarded our army with the Franji guns, and defeated our 100,000 imperial guards with 20,000 people. Their Hoi An Port brought together merchants from the Ming, Japan, the West, and the South China Sea. We were rich enough to rival our country, which really made us worry." Zheng Chi said of the current situation of the Ruan tribe, and looked sad.

Originally, Master Zheng was willing to go south to destroy Master Ruan and unify Annan for thousands of years, but due to the intervention of Westerners, their attempts were shattered. In turn, Master Ruan had the strength to compete with Master Zheng and even fight against Master Zheng.

"It turned out that Franji people intervened in the struggle between Master Zheng and Master Ruan." Chu Yun was not interested when he heard the current situation in Annan Kingdom. He did not expect that he would start to contact the Westerners of this era so soon.

A split Annan country has endless business opportunities... Chu Yun smacked his lips, thinking about how to make a profit from this big fish.

"That's right! Our Annan Kingdom has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. Their Ruan family asked Westerners to help, which was a contempt for the country of the Ming Dynasty!" Zheng Chi said of Franji people, very sad and angry.

"Well, our Ming Dynasty is the sect leader country, and it is against tradition to do this." Chu Yun never thought that the Ming Dynasty at the end of the empire had such great influence among the Southeast countries.

"We have tried to ask the Ming Dynasty court for the heavenly soldiers to destroy the Ruan tribe, but the Ming Dynasty court seemed to be busy with war with northern tribes, and he also felt that the journey to our Annan Kingdom was long, so he had not taken any action. Our Ming merchants from the Ming Dynasty who went to Annan Kingdom to do business heard that the Liao army in Liaonan had excellent firearms, and their power was still above the Franji people, so they came to buy firearms from you." Zheng Chi finally explained his purpose.

In fact, Chu Yun knew the intention of the Annan Merchant Corps halfway through hearing this. The Ming Dynasty court now has no time to take care of itself. It is no longer the Ming Dynasty, which was able to calmly govern Annan. How could it still send tense troops to support Annan?

"Although we have a lot of firearms in the Liao army, we all produce and use them ourselves and have few reserves." Chu Yun said embarrassedly.

When Zheng Chi heard Chu Yun say this, he immediately said anxiously: "General of the Celestial Dynasty, if you don't help us, our Zheng Lord will be in danger! Although our Annan Kingdom is not as good as the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty, it still has some silver. I hope the general will sell firearms to us, which will defeat the limelight of the Ruan family and the Westerners!"
