"If we can do this, I, the Governor of Northern Luzon, will first ask for credit for Lord Cui, and I personally will celebrate Master Cui in the most solemn way." Although Kong Yunzhen believed that this possibility was possible, he still doubted whether the plan to provoke a total war with the Luzons at this time was in line with the intentions of the Central Committee of the Empire.

"Master Kong, it seems that you still have some doubts about my intention to come to Northern Luzon this time. His Highness the King of Qin and the Privy Council have authorized me to fully handle all military affairs in the Central Mainland region. In other words, how to compete with our opponents in the Central Mainland is up to me to decide everything." He glanced at the other party with a smile, and Cui Wenxiu said lightly.

Kong Yunzhen did not care about the ridicule in the other party's words. Civil and military officials performed their own ways and had nothing to do with each other. Although Cui Wenxiu was the commander of the Central Mainland military, he had no right to interfere in his normal government affairs. This was the principle that the empire determined. The Government and the Privy Council were not affiliated with each other, but only cooperated with each other. The local government had only the obligation to cooperate with the garrison. Unless it entered the state of military control, Cui Wenxiu could only issue orders in his own army. However, Kong Yunzhen did not mean that he wanted to leave the other party. After all, it was all for the benefit of the empire, and fighting for these intentions was meaningless.

"Haha, Lord Cui, our Northern Luzon is also your defense zone. If you have any needs, just ask it. As long as Northern Luzon can do it, Kong will definitely support it with all his strength."

"Okay, what Cui wants is Lord Kong's words. Cui's visit to Central China this time is not something that he can't walk in a year or two. This war is also an important step in the empire's strategy of progress west. I hope Lord Kong can fully cooperate with my actions here. At that time, Cui promises to add two more prefectures to you, Northern Luzon County." Cui was not polite, and spoke boldly.

Kong Yunzhen's eyes shone brightly. It seemed that this guy really wanted to dig a hoe from the Luzonians. If such a good thing really happened, he would need to make friends with the best in the imperial military.

"Mr. Cui is so serious. You and I are both officials in the empire. Although there are different ways of civil and military affairs, they are consistent in safeguarding the interests of the empire. What needs the military has is also what our local authorities should support. Now, what is needed by Kong, please just say it clearly." Kong Yunzhen no longer played a false role at this time and asked the substantive questions directly.

"It's very simple, Lord Kong, you see that there is no decent city in the Pamir area within a radius of hundreds of miles, nor is there a fortress castle that can provide support for our army. Although the possibility of attack in the Pamir area is very small, I want to build this place into a springboard for assault to the south. My idea is to build some castles in the shallow hill area near the Bamao area, as an attacking stronghold of our Mainland Front in Northern Luzon. Here, it is here."

At Cui Wenxiu's instructions, the military staff next to him had already spread the prepared large-scale military map in front of the two of them. The 10th Legion, the commander of the Andean Corps, and local officials who came with Kong Yunzhen, surrounded them.

Kong Yunzhen's eyes followed Cui Wenxiu's hand and appointed it to the point at the southern end, and pondered: "Galing Mountain Area?"

"Yes, it is the Galing Mountains. Although it is a mountainous area, the terrain is relatively flat. According to what we understand, this area should be an ancient mountainous area. After thousands of years of erosion, the terrain seems very broken. Here, here, and here, there are relatively low mountain passes that can easily enter and exit the Bamao area. If we can occupy these three passes and build them into castle-style fortresses, then we can almost be invincible against the Bamao area in the south, and we can go south at any time to cut off their corridors and hit the Luzons with a fatal blow." Cui Wenxiu's words were filled with unquestionable tone of decisiveness.

"What? Lord Cui wants to build three fortresses here?" He was shocked. Kong Yunzhen almost stood up with an incredible look: "Mr Cui, do you know that this place is still thirty miles away from Pamir Town and less than ten miles away from the Bamao border. This area is complex and the roads are only connected by small roads. How to transport materials? How many civilian laborers are needed? The total population of Pamir is only 100,000, so where can we find so many laborers?"

"Master Kong, if it's not difficult, does Cui still need to discuss it with you?" Cui Wenxiu was also a little angry. This is how people from the Finance Department came from. They are very frugal and fearful of difficulties. As soon as he made an opinion, this guy started to give up.

"But, Lord Cui, it's not that Kong's cold water poured on you. How much people's efforts do these three fortresses cost and how much materials they need to consume. It's converted into gold coins. I'm afraid it won't be able to get it without three to five million gold coins. Not to mention that Northern Luzon can't afford this expense at all, even if I can afford it, I won't invest this money in this place." Kong Yunzhen's tone was not so polite. This was simply a life-threatening person. As soon as he took over, he spread such a hot potato. Isn't it a embarrassing person?

"Haha, the funding issue does not need to be concerned about Lord Kong. And what I want to tell Lord Kong is that except for the fortress in the middle that can accommodate more than 10,000 people, the other two fortresses are enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, which is not a large castle fortress like you think." My heart calmed down a little. It turned out that this guy thought he wanted to pay for North Luzon County. No wonder he pushed the money. It was no wonder that if North Luzon County had such a large sum of money to build a fortress in this place, no one would be willing to be the governor.

"Oh?" After hearing that the funding problem was not borne by himself, Kong Yunzhen became interested in it all at once. As long as the money was not paid by himself, he could plan it well. If the other party could raise funds by himself, the funds would be invested in Pamir, but it could greatly improve the investment environment of Pamir. Think about it, this King Cui Yan is said to be famous in the golden land in India and Dean. It is very easy to get a sum of funds from the Indians, but he needs to have a good relationship with this guy. In just a moment, Kong Yunzhen's attitude was a big turn of 180 degrees: "If the funds are not safe, then it can be good at connecting Ant's new software. Not only can the download speed be fast to build these three fortresses in the Jialing Mountains, Kong saw that although the mountains and rocks in the Jialing Mountains were weathered, they could still find some stone yards for mining. Well, Lord Yang, it seems that you have mentioned that there are a lot of stones for mining, right?"

An official who looked like a civil servant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Lord Kong, this piece is a great bluestone. The best building materials for building urban buildings are limited to road traffic conditions and cannot be developed on a large scale."

"It doesn't matter. Since the military needs it, it's a first-class matter. We must cooperate no matter what. Although the building materials problem has been solved, a large amount of materials are still needed, such as the supply of the garrison, so Kong suggested that the road from Pamir Town to Galing Mountain should be repaired and widened immediately. The road from Pamir Town to Shuangdui and Volcanic Mansion can also be arranged to start construction in the second phase. The roads here have a certain foundation, and it can be reinforced and widened. The civil servant problem, Lord Yang, you probably have to think of a way to do this. Now is the winter free time, so you should be able to recruit them.

Two or three thousand laborers will start the road from Pamir to the Galing Mountains first. Of course, the quarry must be put first." Kong Yunzhen began to arrange work without asking anyone's opinions: "By the way, the wood problem also needs to be cut down immediately. Several more logging farms can be built along the Pamir Town to the Galing Mountains. Now the weather is right, and the wood can be dried, and it will not take long to come in handy. Tung oil and paint also need to be purchased immediately. Lord Yang, you can arrange for someone to handle this immediately. You may need to buy it from the mainland of the empire. You have to hurry up and remember whether you have any?"

The series of arrangements and sudden change of attitude made Cui Wenxiu and Qiu Zicheng, who had seen big scenes, stunned. Cui Wenxiu could only say that she was convinced by the people from the Finance Department. As long as the money issue was aside, they were undoubtedly the best officials. Before she could make a statement, she made a rough idea of ​​the entire construction plan, but the priorities were quite consistent with her own ideas. But this guy obviously had his own selfishness, obviously trying to wrap the development of the entire Pamir with his own plan to build a fortress. However, if he wanted to mobilize this guy's enthusiasm, he was afraid that this guy would not be so interested if he didn't give him a little thought.

"Sir Kong, I seem to hear this more like the infrastructure plan of Pamir Mansion. Why is it counted as our military?" Cui Wenxiu's leisurely smile made Kong Yunzhen feel uncomfortable.

"Uh, Lord Cui, don't say that, Pamir is not only the focus of our Northern Luzon development, but also the strategic location of the military. Uh, of course, this must be dominated by the military, right? Besides, you have to know the situation in Northern Luzon. We can rely on the support of the army. The people of Northern Luzon will definitely remember the help of the army, right?" Kong Yunzhen's attitude is better than ever. Being able to hold on to this pillar and shake it may make Pamir take a big advantage.
