After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Song Zhizhou secretly admired her in his heart. She was worthy of being his godmother! She had only been here for such a short time, but she had already seen the biggest problem of the seven border towns!

Thousands of thoughts were running through Song Zhizhou's mind.

Although I am here to help Agan's mother deal with interpersonal affairs, it would be a waste of energy if I were often tied up by this group of people to guess what Agan's mother's deep intentions were.

Song Zhizhou secretly made up his mind to break down these things and tell them to everyone, so that everyone could learn from the people in Kyoto. Even if they could not see the whole intention, they could guess the first and second layers!

Song Zhizhou played with the wine glass in his hand: "Godmother's words, apart from the superficial meaning, you have to think deeper, as deep as you can!"

"For example, this time, we are all one family, no one is different. The first meaning is that our seven towns should not fight over her."

Everyone nodded frequently, and everyone could understand this meaning.

Song Zhizhou looked at Wang Buxi deeply and said meaningfully: "Brother Wang, Woye Town is obviously the closest to the westward route, why doesn't the caravan go this way?"

When this question was raised, the eyes of others were erratic. Some things can be done, but cannot be said.

Wang Buxi glanced at everyone and sneered, "You'll have to ask our Wuchuan Town County Magistrate Qin Bohuai, Lord Qin!"

When Qin Bohuai saw that Song Zhizhou was looking at him, he was worried that it would affect his image in his mind. He was unwilling to help him interpret the general's meaning, so he hurried to explain.

"You can't blame me for this! At that time, Woye Town was the richest. Our Wuchuan Town was having a hard time. Other towns were even worse off. The imperial court didn't care about us."

Others followed suit.

"We don't have any other way to make money except the caravan. Wherever we go, it doesn't matter."

"We give the caravan preferential treatment and convenience, and let them go through our town. Although it's a bit longer, we both get what we need!"

"We didn't hold a knife to the neck of the caravan. They wanted to leave our town on their own."

When Zhizhou Song saw that everyone was passing the buck, he wanted to make fun of them, but he couldn't laugh.

Wuchuan Town is located in the south of the three towns. No matter which town the caravan travels west from, it must pass through Wuchuan Town.

Woye Town was the richest, but was coveted and suppressed by Marquis Yongchang. The other two towns took the opportunity to join forces with Wuchuan Town and snatch the caravan away.

As a result, Woye Town never recovered and became the poorest town.

This is not a very fair thing to say.

But Magistrate Song could not blame others, because they resorted to such means not for their own personal gain, but for the people of the town!

Song Zhizhou sighed: "No wonder godmother always says that money is not everything, but without money, nothing can be done!"

When Wang Buxi, who was closest to Song Zhizhou, heard these words, his eyes instantly turned red.

If I had understood this earlier, I would have taken a lot of private property with me when I broke up with the Wang family! Why am I so strapped for cash now?

Song Zhizhou smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Godmother just finished saying that the family should love each other, and then you started arguing. Do you believe that beating is love, and scolding is love?"

Everyone turned away in embarrassment.

For a moment, this corner was silent and quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle around it.

After a long while, Song Zhizhou's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

"The ministers in the court are all masters at playing power games and manipulating people's hearts. Isn't what you are doing just what they want?"

The border military garrisons were afraid that they would not be able to defend their country and would be allowed to burn, kill and loot by the Tartars.

But what the imperial court feared was that the border areas would form their own factions and pose a threat to the central government.

As for the invasion of Tartars, as long as we give them money and beautiful women, they will naturally retreat.

If you are not willing, then it must be because you haven’t given enough!

As for the murder committed by the Tartars, what did it have to do with them? After all, they killed people living in the border areas and did not attack the capital.

Wang Buxi naturally understood the tactics used in the court, but he just had no countermeasures. Now, when he heard what Song Zhizhou said, his mind turned and he said with a little joy.

"Does the general have a solution? As long as the general can solve the problem of our Woye Town, my king is willing to die for the general!"

The others finally realized what was going on and expressed their opinions.

"Song Lang, if you have something to say, just say it directly. We are all rough guys and can't learn these beating around the bush!"

"I understand! The general has something to say but cannot speak openly! Brother Song, please tell us all!"

"Don't worry, what I said today will never be leaked out!"

Prefect Song had whetted everyone's appetite before he slowly said, "Godmother has long seen through the problems of the seven border towns. The seven towns rely on each other in military matters, but they hinder each other in other aspects."

"This is all because you don't have a unified superior!"

Wang Buxi seemed to be thinking: "The general wants to merge our seven towns into one?"

Yan Tongchu: "This is a good idea. But the court will never grant such a large fiefdom to the general."

Song Zhizhou: "Of course it is impossible to make it a fiefdom! But the town can be merged into a prefecture!"

Merge towns into prefectures and counties?!

Qin Boyun was so shocked that he stood up: "This is too bold!"

If the seven towns were merged into one state, how deeply would the governor of this state win the emperor's favor? !

Yan Tongchu shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, His Majesty will never agree."

Song Zhizhou smiled and said, "Others can't do it, but godmother can. First, godmother is a woman, her husband has passed away, her husband's family has failed, and her family has no one. Second, godmother's loyalty is known to the world. Third, godmother has won the hearts of both the people and the emperor."

Wang Buxi understood: "The situation of attack and defense is easy."

The general has no family support, which is her disadvantage, but in this matter it becomes her absolute advantage!

Wang Buxi thought more deeply and felt that the timing of Yongchang Marquis' death was too good.

Could it be that the general had predicted all this?

The king took a deep breath, feeling that the kind and approachable general was actually unfathomable!

Song Zhizhou was like a poisonous snake in the bushes, saying tempting words: "Now is the only chance to change your fate! Godmother has made great contributions, but the court has not yet made a reward! But this matter cannot be brought up by Godmother herself, so as not to cause criticism."

"My lords, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again! You have been able to stay at the border for more than ten years, so you must have your own magical powers. If you don't show them now, when will you?!"

Qin Bohuai paced back and forth: "I am willing to give it a try! But it is unlikely that I can accomplish anything by myself."

Yan Tongchu expressed his opinion: "I also have classmates who hold high positions in government."

Wang Buxi's face flashed with embarrassment, and then he became firm: "I was a childhood friend, and I can also help a little in this matter."

Prefect Song smiled widely and said, "Master Cui Sanlun is my godmother's adoptive father. He will definitely not stand idly by! When this is done, we will tell the general and give her a surprise."
