The conversation with Kapok took place in a different atmosphere. When Kapok stepped into Wu Feng's study, Wu Feng was looking at the detailed topographic map of the Grand Duchy of Luzon attentively.
"Mr. Kapok, we haven't seen you for a long time. It looks like you are getting younger and younger with each passing day." When Wu Feng saw Kapok walking into his room, he hurriedly greeted him, holding Kapok's hands affectionately and said.
"Adults really know how to joke. We old men are getting older day by day. It seems that we should wait for another two years to have a leisurely meal." Kapok was also very moved by Wu Feng's enthusiasm.
"Hey, people say that an old man can only dream of a thousand miles. What's more, you are not yet old. Why, do you really want to enjoy a happy life? The construction of Heping Town has just started. The happy life of Gaoyue people still needs more efforts." Wu Feng Laughing and teasing him.
Hearing Wu Feng talk about his work and the life of his tribe, a smile immediately appeared on Kapok's face, "I would also like to thank you for your concern. If it weren't for your concern, our Gaoyue people's lives would have been shortened in just two years." How could there be such a huge change in the past few years?"
"That's too serious to say. I just did what I should do as a parent official. It's your hard-working clansmen who really made the contribution." Wu Feng waved his hand modestly and declined.
"Sir, there is no need to be modest. We Gaoyue people have always received kindness from others, and we should repay it with springs. What you have done for us Gaoyue people will always be remembered by us Gaoyue people and we will never forget it." Kapok looked solemn, A serious answer.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these past things. How is it? How is work now? Are there any difficulties?" Wu Feng asked casually.
"It's okay. The construction of Heping Town is basically on the right track. People from the tribe are starting to live in Xiashan. The situation in several other towns is similar. Generally speaking, the future is bright. But for our tribe, There are too few knowledgeable and educated people, and it is really difficult to quickly accept the changes in the outside world." Kapok also talked about his own work and the problems in his clan.
"Well, this is not a problem that can be solved in the short term. It needs long-term education and the improvement of the quality of the entire group to change. You can make suggestions to James City Shou and ask him to pay more attention to the educational construction in the western and southern parts of the Golden State. I Take the time to talk to him. In addition, I think we can select some young people from your clan who have good foundation and strong ability to accept, and let the County Department of Culture, Education and Health give some extra places to study at Northwest University and Northwest Military Academy. , work directly in government agencies and the military after graduation to gradually improve their quality." Wu Feng nodded and made arrangements after some thought.
"Then thank you for your trouble." Kapok also knew that due to limited scale, the current Northwest University and Northwest Military Academy are not open to the outside world and only accept training from government personnel and military personnel. Wufeng's words were obviously special to Gaoyue people. Take care of it. Now the population of the northwest is composed of a large number of immigrants and there are many ethnic groups. It is inevitable that no one will say that Wufeng is partial.
Wu Feng seemed to have noticed Ka Mian's concerns and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much. I think as a military governor, I still have this privilege. What's more, Gao Yueren has also made great contributions to me. I think even if someone wants to say something, they may find it difficult to say it.”
Kapok said nothing more and just nodded silently.
"Approximately how many Gaoyue people are there in the northwest now?" Wu Feng suddenly asked such a question.
"Nearly four hundred thousand." Kapok had already known that Wu Feng suddenly recalled him from Jinzhou not just to ask about his daily work, but also about other very important things. At this time, when Wu Feng started to get to the point, he couldn't help but Listen carefully.
"Oh? What about those living in other areas?"
"I can't be sure of the specific number. It's probably between 1.7 million and 1.8 million. They are all distributed in many countries and regions." Kapok answered while also thinking about Wu Feng's intention in asking these questions.
"What's their current living situation like?" Wu Feng's tone was like chatting about everyday things, making Kapok confused about his true intentions.
A look of pain flashed across Kapok's face, "Except for us in the northwest, the living conditions of the Gaoyue people in other areas are not good, it should be said to be quite bad. The people in power in those places discriminate against us Gaoyue people in every possible way, and treat them Their work and life are also made difficult and restricted in every possible way, and their situation is quite difficult."
"Do you have any contact with the Gaoyue people in these areas?" Wu Feng started to get to the point.
"Yes, we have more contact with the surrounding tribes, and less contact with the tribes in the south due to the long distance. However, almost every two or three years, they have to contact us. Especially in the past two years, we Life here has gotten better, a lot of people from their side have come over, and the contact has become closer." Kapok's answer was quite detailed.
"How many Gaoyue people live in Luzon? Who is in charge there? What is your relationship with them?" Wu Feng asked three questions in a row.
"There are about 500,000 Gaoyue people living in Luzon. They have seven tribes. The chief elder is Elder Shiliu. I have a good relationship with him. At the beginning of this year, he and two other elders came to visit me in Heping Town. , by the way, they also understood the situation here. They were very envious of the situation here and wanted to see the Lord. I originally wanted to bring them to visit the Lord, but at that time, the Lord went to Guide to suppress the rebellion and his whereabouts were unknown. , I think there will be opportunities in the future, so forget it."
"Oh?" Wu Feng couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this. He broke through the iron boots and couldn't find it. It took no effort at all. The situation in Luzon was unpredictable. I was just thinking about how to contact all the forces in Luzon, but I didn't expect that they would also want to visit me.
He stood up and couldn't help but rub his hands. Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure. Then he sat down again and calmed down. "Then I would like to ask Mr. Kapok to go to Luzon immediately and invite Gao Yue in Luzon." The leader of the clan is visiting Qingyang and Jinzhou, but this must be done in secret." Wu Feng's words were full of unquestionable flavor.
Kapok hesitated for a moment, "Of course I will abide by your lord's arrangement. But I would like to take the liberty of asking, are you prepared to use troops against Luzon?"
Wu Feng smiled and did not answer the question directly, "Don't worry, trust me, everything I do will never harm the interests of Gaoyue people, whether they are within our country or outside our country. You remember Is that what we said when we reached an agreement the year before last? What I, Li Wufeng, have done will only allow the people of Gaoyue to live a better and happier life."
"Okay, sir, your words are enough. I believe that we Gaoyue people will not see the wrong person. I believe in my eyes. I will go to Luzon immediately and invite Shi Liu and other elders in charge to come to Qingyang. " Kapok replied decisively.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Holding Kapok's hand, Wu Feng walked Kapok to the door.
After handling these two matters, Wu Feng felt much more relaxed. Wu Feng was quite confident about the Gaoyue tribe's affairs in particular, because he understood that the situation of the Gaoyue tribe in Luzon was not good, especially after the situation in the neighboring Jinzhou had undergone earth-shaking changes, which would definitely irritate their nerves even more. . Who doesn’t want justice? Who doesn’t want to live a more prosperous life? Don't say that they came to you on their own, but if you don't go, these people will contact you soon, but you need them even more now.
As for the problem of the Luo Bei people, Wu Feng really didn't have much confidence, but he still had to give it a try to know what the outcome would be. I heard that the debater recommended by Xiao Tang was quite talented. I hoped that I would not be disappointed and that I should take the time to meet him. Before entrusting such a major matter to him, one always needs to investigate and investigate, but a talent that can be highly praised by Xiao Tang should not be in vain.
Thinking of this, Wu Feng called the guard at the door, "Go to Mr. Xiao from the Administration Department and ask him and Mr. Su Qin to come to my place. I have important matters to see them."
The guard responded and left.
When Xiao Tang and Su Qin arrived at Wu Feng's study, Wu Feng had already arranged for his servants to prepare tea.
With a "Please come in", the moment Su Qin followed Xiao Tang into Wu Feng's study, he was immediately attracted by the young man at the head of the case. Wu Feng, who looked a little unruly in white clothes, put one foot away casually and stepped on the big chair behind the case, but Su Qin, who was conceited and had seen celebrities from all over the Central Plains, immediately felt that there was something different behind his appearance. The aura of a king flashed away with that sweeping glance, but this one glance was enough. The aura of a king was not something that anyone could detect.
"Sir, Mr. Su Qin is here." Xiao Tang walked into the study, bowed briefly, and introduced Wu Feng.
"Oh, please sit down." Wu Feng also put down his feet, stood up straight, and extended his hands to invite the two of them to take a seat.
"Is this Mr. Su Qinsu who is famous all over Jiangdong?" Wu Feng's calm eyes passed over Su Qin's face, and there was no trace of the aura of endless domineering that he had when he first entered the door. But only in this way, he became more... Su Qin is heartbroken, rarely seeing each other, and occasionally revealing himself. This sentence is a true portrayal of him, Su Qin thought with some ups and downs in his mood.
"Your Majesty, it's ridiculous. It's just a vain boast by some bored idlers. It's worth nothing. Su is just a humble scholar, so he can't deserve it."
Su Qin's attitude surprised Xiao Tang. Because Su Qin was conceited about his talent, which was difficult for ordinary people to appreciate, he developed an arrogant character who looked down on the world. Although he didn't show much at ordinary times, he was very conceited in his bones. When Wu Feng received Su Qin casually, he was even worried that Su Qin would turn away. Unexpectedly, Su Qin would be so humble. Could it be that the rumors were wrong, or that he had changed his gender
"With great reputation, there are no deceitful men. Mr. Su also underestimates the talents of Jiangdong. Jiangdong has been full of talents since ancient times. It has always been a gathering of talents and elites. How can it be an ordinary mortal who can make them heartbroken? I have also heard that Mr. My name, I am deeply pleased to see you today." Wu Feng's words made Su Qin quite proud, after all, it was indeed enough pride to have this world-famous imperial hero say such words.
"Thanks to your lord's praise, Su is deeply ashamed. Your lord defends the country on the border and is powerful at home and abroad. The people of the empire are proud to meet your lord. I have heard about it in Jiangdong for a long time. Such glorious achievements have shocked the past and the present, and have become all Su is a role model for young people, and it will be a blessing to have an adult meet him today." Su Qin's words of praise made Wu Feng, who was used to flattery, feel a little carried away.
