The Blood-Crying Valley is still as prosperous as the starting point of the Jinhe route. This place is still a place where every inch of land is valuable. When passing through this fief, Leng Zhuo can feel the rich commercial atmosphere here...

As the Da Chu naval army controlled the Tianhe waterway, the waterway trade between Chuzhou and Yangzhou was unobstructed here, but the Jinhe did not decline. Although a large amount of goods trade was transferred to the Tianhe waterway, the connection between the Da Yue Miao Kingdom and Da Chu opened up another large market. In addition, the Yangzhou turmoil, the rich people in the north and coastal areas moved to the inland, these factors made Chixue Valley the economic center of the south.

Although Ping An Bank's headquarters has been moved to Zhuque City, the bank vault is still left in the Chixue Castle. Although the ground of Chixue Valley has been occupied by dense houses and there is no free space, there is a huge underground palace under the ground of Chixue Castle, and it has been continuously expanded and reinforced.

Because Ping An Bank is a big bank, coupled with Da Chu's support for industry and commerce, the circulation of gold and silver has greatly accelerated. For transactions, gold and silver coins are too heavy and troublesome, so it is naturally not as easy as the exquisite Ping An ticket. If some people had doubts in the past, even if they exchanged Ping An gold and silver notes, they were only a small part of them, and they were used for trading and trade, and they were still stacked gold and silver at home.

However, with the five years since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, military strength and economic relaxation have been subtly influenced, especially the countless gold and silver transported from Yangzhou to fill Ping An Bank's vault, which has made Ping An Bank deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has the confidence, so it will naturally attract more people.

In particular, the merchants from Yangzhou brought greater good news. The Japanese army that entered Yangzhou had been wiped out and the news of Yangzhou's liberation was like a heart-warming agent, which made all the merchant groups gathered in the Blood-Crying Valley excited.

Yangzhou is restored, and this news is not only exciting for them, but also closely related to their wallets. War means destruction, which means countless ownerless properties, and no homeland. How can Chuzhou merchants with bulging wallets not see the benefits in it.

The Ministry of Works of the Great Chu has issued hundreds of construction plans in advance, but it has spent a lot of money, such as restoring cities, rebuilding, and renovating the road. This can be used as much as you complete, and it will be more than enough to make a lot of businessmen and craftsmen.

Now there is another tattered Yangzhou. The cake is too big. Just thinking about it makes people swallow and spit. Anyone with some vision has gathered up and began to find ways to hoard building materials. They went to various villages, towns and towns to recruit young and strong laborers everywhere and even Chuzhou. Some people went to Yangzhou to recruit, but the Eight Immortals showed their magical powers across the river.^//^

Although Leng Zhuo and others lived in Zhuque City in the main fortress of Qixue Castle, it was still preserved here, with some old slaves responsible for cleaning, and even an elite army was stationed. After all, the underground of Qixue Castle is the vault of Ping An Bank.

Leng Zhuo put down the stamp in his hand, but frowned. Although he had thought about the issue of re-establishing the country before and put Chu and Yang in the rule, his idea was not mature. He also planned to go back to Zhuque City and discuss it with the ministers of the cabinet. He was making a decision. Unexpectedly, Zhuque City had already launched a storm in the establishment of the country in advance.

Moreover, from another secret note, the incident this time was mixed with several major families led by the Dongfang family, and the rumors were released. Although Leng Zhuo was very dissatisfied with the four major families, the four major families also forced Leng Zhuo to pay attention to this issue.

The four major families just made a noise, causing such a big stir, which shows that the establishment of the country is very basic, otherwise it would not have been so widely circulated in a short period of time, and caused such a big stir. From the secret, except for the early release of the rumors, the four major families did not add fuel to the fire, which is why Leng Zhuo was not too angry.

Leng Zhuo is still very damaging to the four major families. Leng Zhuo has a deep understanding of how profound the wealthy families have for hundreds of years. Although the military and political affairs of the Great Chu Kingdom were controlled by Leng Zhuo's most trusted generals and advisers, they cannot escape the shadow of these families in the local area. After all, if you try to use talent elites, the civilian family cannot catch up with these families.

However, Leng Zhuo was still hesitant about whether to re-establish the country, because the relationship between this was very complicated and also related to future strategies.

Although Da Chu is a country now, it is still a minister of the empire after all. With this hat, the empire dare not raise troops to Da Chu. In terms of interests, Situ Hao would definitely choose to unite Da Chu to destroy Li Tang first, especially now Da Chu and the empire are not actually connected.

There was Li Tang in Zhongzhou, Bai Qi and Zhao Yun in the southern part of Qingzhou, and they were old subordinates of the early emperors, so Situ Hao mainly focused on winning over and did not use military force. At most, he secretly tinkered with conspiracy, but he was unable to get on the table. In this way, it was almost inevitable that the empire and the Great Chu jointly attacked Li Tang.

This benefit is also obvious. Although Li Tang now occupied Liang and Yong states, these two states have always had few inland areas and are far from being as poor as the eastern states. Therefore, Li Tang’s territory seems to be larger, but it does not improve its strength much, and instead has divided a lot of troops.

Once the empire and the Great Chu and the Great Chu conquer Li Tang together, Li Tang will definitely fall into a hard battle on both sides. Even if the troops on both sides of the north and the south are finally repelled, their vitality will be greatly damaged and their recovery ability will be apparent. Li Tang is not as good as the empire or the Great Chu. It is a matter of time before Li Tang is destroyed.

The destruction of the Li Tang Dynasty was a battle between the north and the south, but once the Li Tang was defeated, the Yunzhou Empire would definitely restore Youzhou and the northern part of Zhongzhou, and its power would be greatly boosted. The most important thing is that the empire was named after the great righteousness and could completely suppress the Great Chu. The Great Chu would definitely stand in a passive situation at that time. Moreover, with the proof of many dynasties, almost all the north swept Jiuzhou and established the empire.

Because the people in the north are strong, they are better than the south from the source of their troops. Secondly, the north faces invading Hu people all year round, so there are many elite soldiers and generals, far from comparable to the south. Secondly, the north has the advantages of cavalry. Perhaps the cavalry cannot exert much power in Qingzhou, but in Zhongzhou, it is a flat land and is most suitable for large-scale cavalry.

Of course, the most important thing is that the people's hearts and the empire occupied great justice. After pacifying the Li Tang Dynasty, the empire could restore three parts of its vitality. At that time, Situ Hao would definitely make full use of this and win over the support of those wealthy nobles. After all, the Tianlong Empire has fallen a few years ago, and the empire's position in people's hearts remains, and this is the most unfavorable factor for the Great Chu.

Although there will be some controversy when the empire is separated now, it will be the only objection to the great victory, and Yangzhou has just been cleaned up and re-established. Once the title of Dayi is determined, the civil and military officials of Dachu can only be loyal to Dachu and bid farewell to the empire.

After appearing in a new posture, the Great Chu will not have the control of the empire, but will fight to dominate the world with an equal status. Although doing so will make some people far away, it will also attract some people who are truly optimistic about the Great Chu to join. If the camps are clearly divided, it will not cause internal civil and military confusion in the future, and will not give the empire an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, if you really become independent in this way, the situation will be a bit difficult to grasp. At that time, it will be a dispute between the Three Kingdoms and the relationship with the empire will be reduced to freezing point, so Leng Zhuo was very hesitant to choose which path to choose.

"Your Highness, what are you worried about?" Leng Zhong held the tea and placed it on the small table beside him. Seeing Leng Zhuo frowned, he couldn't help but ask.

"Why is the second grandfather taking the initiative? It's just that there is a problem in Zhuque City, and I don't know how to make a decision!" Leng Zhuo said it briefly. Leng Zhong is the old housekeeper of the Leng family. He retired a few years ago, and Li Yaer took over the housekeeper's business, while Leng Zhong is the old man and grandson.

After Leng Zhuo's family moved to Zhuque City, Leng Zhong stayed and took care of the Crying Blood Castle. It can be said that Leng Zhong's family is the most trusted person in addition to the hundred generals of Leng Zhuo.

"If Your Highness doesn't know how to make a choice, why not go outside and take a look and see what the people under your rule think. Perhaps Your Highness's problem will be solved!" Leng Zhong said after pondering for a moment.

Leng Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Yes, he always considered the problems from a general perspective. However, whether a country or not is established or not, it depends on whether the people support it. The people are the fundamental. If the people support him to establish a country, then even if the three countries are in chaos, as long as everyone is united, they can overcome any difficulties.

"A good idea. Speaking of which, I have been in the palace for the past few years, but I rarely contact the people. If this continues, it is not the purpose of a wise ruler. Taking this opportunity, I have to walk around and see what the people under my rule view my Great Chu!"

He did it right away, Leng Zhuo changed his clothes directly. After all, he couldn't wear it. Then, accompanied by Leng Zhong, the two of them came out of the side door of the Chixue Castle and circled around, but they came out of the Chixue Valley. There were shops everywhere in Chixue Valley, which were places to negotiate transactions, and there was no hearing what he wanted to hear here.

After leaving the Qixue Valley, I passed a large storage area north, but there was a bustling street market. This street was full of brothels and red courtyards, and teahouses and restaurants were luxurious. If Qixue Valley was the place for transactions, then this was a place for celebration and entertainment after the transaction was completed.

"Young Master, let's go to the teahouse in front to take a seat. The teahouse has been open for seven or eight years. It is the earliest teahouse, but a place where merchants gather." Leng Zhong has never moved in this Xuexue Castle and is very familiar with this place. In comparison, Leng Zhuo is a little unfamiliar with this place. You must know that the Xuexue Valley changes every year, and even if he returns to the Xuexue Valley, he still flies over the sky and never walks on this street.

"Yeah, that's good!" Leng Zhuo looked at the teahouse with people coming in and out one after another, which was a big motivation.
