When Li De returned to Yunmeng City, the chaos in Nanchu had officially come to an end.
For Lieder, this is not so unexpected. Although Southern Chu has distinct classes, it is not decadent. If it is compared to a dynasty, it should still be in the period just after the heyday. Even though Southern Chu in this period of time has many accumulated disadvantages and is no longer an absolute hegemon in the world, civil strife of this scale can still be dealt with.
After hearing the whole story from Xiao Hei, Li De nodded calmly, which was almost the same as what he had guessed.
In fact, even if Li De hadn't killed Jiang Yuesheng, the lord of Nanchu should have been able to suppress the rebellion, but tens or even hundreds of thousands more people would have died. If the lord of Southern Chu was really poor, he should have sent Xiao Hei to Jinxiu City to help Lide find out the case, but Lide never saw Xiao Hei from the beginning to the end, which shows that the lord of Southern Chu did not need to pin all his hopes on it. on him.
But Xiao Hei is very grateful to Li De.
He was still as talkative as before, and it took almost half an hour just to apologize:
"This time it's my brother who is sorry for you. At first I really didn't know what was behind the bloody clothes case, but I didn't realize it until my father arranged for me to sneak into the army and contact some generals. At that time, I arranged for people to send a message to Jinxiu City. But the situation has become more and more critical, and my people were directly intercepted halfway."
"When I first heard the news of Jiang Yuesheng's suicide, I was quite sad. I have never met him, nor have I spoken to him, but there are not many old generals left in Southern Chu. Originally, I was still thinking. When the war started, maybe the old general could go into battle again, but now it seems impossible. Sigh... "
"By the way, my father said that you have the appearance of an emperor. But he also said that about me before, so I don't think this evaluation is very valuable. What is valuable is Nan Chu's attitude towards Yunyang. After that, my father should form an alliance with you , Of course, it’s up to you whether it ends or not. I guess what Yunyang needs most now is money, and it just so happens that this is what Nanchu needs the most.”
"In addition, I also said before that as a reward for your willingness to help, I can promise you three requests. Young Master, what I usually value most is promises. Since I promise, I will definitely do it. Feel free to ask me anything you want." , but we can't let Nanchu suffer too much loss..."
Xiao Hei talked intermittently, if Lide didn't interrupt him, he would probably be able to talk until tomorrow.
Li De didn't see Xiaobai by his side, and only after asking Xiaohe did he know that Xiaobai had gone back to West Qin. Before Southern Chu fell into civil strife, the main war faction and the main peace faction once wanted to hold Xiaobai as a hostage, and use it as a bargaining chip to threaten the lord of the Western Qin Dynasty in the future. However, Xiao Hei successfully sent his younger brother back to West Qin. He said he didn't want Xiao Bai to see such dirty things about Nan Chu.
Although Lide remembered that Xiao Hei had promised three conditions, he hadn't planned to take advantage of it before.
After thinking about it, Li De said to Xiao Hei that he could lead the nobles of Southern Chu to invest in Yunyang's enterprise, and then occupy a certain share in it.
Yunyang was indeed short of money, but if it was just a little reward, it would be like a drop in the bucket. Just like this time, Li De knocked a lot of banknotes from Xiang Linglong's hands. This money may not be spent by an ordinary person in a lifetime, but if the money is invested in the construction of Yunyang, it will disappear in a few days without a trace.
Nan Chu is very rich, but the internal economic structure of Nan Chu determines that their wealth has begun to stabilize and no longer flow. From the various luxurious buildings, it can be seen that the nobles of Southern Chu have long been rich, and they don't know where to spend the extra money, so they can only buy various luxury items repeatedly.
However, Yunyang is still in the development stage and needs to accept external investment properly. If Xiaohei can convince the nobles of Southern Chu to initiate investment first, Yunye can win more support in subsequent diplomacy. After all, for things like capital, someone has to enter the market first, and only then will people come in droves. As for whether Nan Chu's money will be returned in full and the remaining money will be divided between three and seven, it will depend on Yunyang's subsequent development.
Little Hei is very smart. Although he didn't study much about economics before, Lide gave a rough talk, and he nodded readily:
"I can rest assured that you Yunyang produces goods that are in short supply. I know it is a good product. When I get back, I will say a number. As long as your production can meet the standard, I can win any amount of investment. This time The nobles' civil strife has been suppressed, my father's power has returned to its peak, and the status of our Shizifu has also increased greatly. In addition, many nobles who participated in the rebellion are still in fear. As long as I mention this to them casually, I am willing to show my loyalty There are probably not a few of them.”
Xiao Hei was silent for a while, and said to Li De:
"However, this is still a matter of mutual benefit and win-win for both of us. What about yourself? What wishes?"
Lied yawned and asked with a smile:
"The world is peaceful?"
Xiao Hei also laughed, and said to Lide:
"The world will always be peaceful, it just depends on whose hands it will be unified in the end. The world will always be chaotic again. My father said that where there are people, there will be conflicts. Where there are conflicts, there will be divisions. Where there are divisions, there will be violence. , Where there is violence, there is war. The world is peaceful or something, I also want to... When it is peaceful, I will find a wife for Xiaobai. Now he is annoyed when he sees a woman. Becoming a rabbit master... Seriously, three wishes."
Lide thought for a while, and said to Xiao Hei:
"The first one is to bury Jiang Yuesheng generously; the second one is to take revenge on Xiang Ge Ling's family lightly, and Xiang Zhehua will return to Yunyang with me this time; the third one is that I hope you promise me that in the future you will fight against Xiqin. If they win, treat their people well, and if they lose, treat your people well."
Xiao Hei looked at the gray sky, and said to Lid after a long while:
"I understand what you mean. Don't lose so ugly... Is that what you want to say? Yes, although I don't know whether it will be me or my father who will be in charge, but I promise you. But I really didn't think of it before, you He also has compassion for our people in Southern Chu."
Lid smiled and said nothing.
Unlike Yunyang, Southern Chu has many cultural treasures of this world, as well as intangible cultural heritage including witchcraft, poisonous poison, and various schools of martial arts. In Li De's eyes, as long as Yunyang continues to develop, these things will be his one day.
One's own things are always to be protected in advance.
Xiao Hei said to Li De:
"I told Xiaobai that the matter here has been resolved, so let him come back as soon as possible. When he comes back, let's discuss the plan of the [Potian] organization. I have a few friends who will come here too, At that time, everyone can get to know each other, they are all interesting guys."
