"Fourth, all the tribes that are difficult to manage but possess considerable fighting power will be relocated to the Didao administrative center. I will unify and reorganize them, squeezing them to contribute to our army's expenses. We will win over the top, divide the middle, and suppress the bottom. We'll divide them step by step; let their top leaders handle this, so we don't get our hands dirty."
"Fifth, we've developed local agriculture, mining, and silk industries, binding the powerful tribes to our cause. The profits are tempting; they've discovered that honestly farming, raising silkworms, and mining are more profitable than rebelling and getting beaten."
Lu Ming finished explaining his ideas in one breath. It wasn't complicated; it was a very simple thod.
Invite them to als, drink, behead them, and recruit them as lackeys.
Eliminating the troublemakers will intimidate the others, making them want to sit down and negotiate calmly.
Next, we'll offer them lucrative promises, providing them with even better profits to cooperate with, naturally preventing rebellion.
Ultimately, it all boils down to economics.
Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, habitable areas for humans were limited, mostly consisting of wild mountains and forests.
Poisonous insects, wild beasts, ants, and the like made them unsuitable for habitation.
There were also inexplicable factors, such as climate.
They were either bitterly cold or unbearably hot.
Even princes granted fiefdoms by the imperial family often died young after arriving in their adopted lands.
Therefore, solving these problems required technological advancents.
Insecticides, insect repellent ointnts, water conservancy projects, and building upgrades were all necessary to transform the surrounding environnt into one suitable for humans.
These things sound simple, but are incredibly difficult to implent.
Even a simple insect repellent ointnt was challenging enough, and coupled with a lack of hygiene awareness, achieving a breakthrough was truly difficult.
"Go and replenish them. It's not too late in a few days. Fine workmanship produces excellent results," Lu Ming said, leaving the details to Xu Shu before running off.
After a long while, he finally returned to his hotown.
Returning to his hotown felt quite good, and from afar, he saw a graceful, mature woman standing at the city gate.
Beside her stood a beautiful, tall young woman—his mother and sister!
For a mont, Lu Ming felt his heart overflow with emotion!
The army remained stationed ten miles away; Lu Ming had only returned with a troop of personal guards. Earlier, Liao Hua had already taken over the county's defenses to ensure Lu Ming's safety.
"You're back, it's good you're back." His mother's eyes were still so gentle, like a wife longing for her husband's return.
Not only as a mother, but also as a wife.
This feeling was incredibly beautiful, absolutely wonderful.
"Let's go ho first." Lu Ming suppressed his excitent, wanting to hug his mother, but now was not the ti. He could only nod to his mother and then enter the city.
Originally, Lu Ming had returned, and once again, he had beco a high-ranking official.
Suddenly, many unfamiliar aunts and grandmothers ca to visit, n and won alike, all instinctively wanting to get to know Lu Ming and flatter him.
The governor was a powerful official, overseeing all affairs of Liangzhou. To put it bluntly, Liangzhou belonged to Lu Ming!
The several large houses he had bought earlier were all on the sa street, enough to live comfortably.
The beautiful concubines also ca to greet their mother-in-law, Dong Ya. They found her to be a beautiful woman, not at all old-fashioned, dressed simply yet exuding an air of noble luxury.
(Na Change: Dong Yue to Dong Ya)
Looking at the won, so younger than her youngest daughter, others older than herself, the mother wondered what kind of woman her son liked.
At first, she thought he preferred mature, older won, but now it seed her son liked any woman.
She nodded to her daughters-in-law, took out a red envelope, and handed it to each of them, taking a sip of the fragrant tea they offered.
A year ago, she had worried about her son's marriage prospects, wondering if he would be too picky or unsuitable. Now it seed she had over-thought it!
When Princess Wannian arrived, her mother hesitated to greet her upon seeing her. Then her son said, "Yu'er, in this family, there are no princesses, only mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. What should you do?"
The noble Princess Wannian knelt down respectfully and bowed to her mother, saying, "Daughter-in-law Liu Yu greets Mother-in-law."
"Good, get up. Don't kowtow." The mother breathed a sigh of relief, pleased with her son. He had managed to train such a good wife; it seed the princess wasn't so unruly after all.
As a mother, she naturally didn't want her wife to be domineering and suppress her son.
But the mother didn't know that it wasn't that Liu Yu was sensible, but rather that Lu Ming's thods were far more powerful.
He fucked Liu Yu until she was exhausted, impregnating her daily, even deflowering her anus.
He licked her pussy, her anus, and her toes.
Treating her as a sex slave shattered Princess Wannian's pride, reducing her to a docile kitten.
With just a glare from Lu Ming, Princess Wannian wouldn't utter a word of protest!
"Alright, you can all go back and rest. No need to stay. Our family doesn't need formalities; everyone's happy is what matters. Go on, co over for dinner tonight. Go back and rest; you've been traveling all day." Lu Ming waved for his concubines to go back to rest. He had already bought several other houses on this street.
These were originally the residences of a wealthy family, but upon hearing that the governor wanted to buy them, they decided to sell them after much deliberation.
Only one family refused, and as a result, their ho was raided by the soldiers.
Lu Ming was never a kind person. If you wouldn't listen to reason, don't bla him for being impolite.
For a mont, only his mother, Lu Ming, and his sister Lu Qing remained in the living room.
"Brother, you're such a high-ranking official now, won't you abandon Sister Wang? She's a year older than you, isn't she?" The younger sister, Lu Qing, was tall and sexy, her years of martial arts training giving her a fit, athletic beauty.
In the Liangzhou region, won wielding weapons wasn't unusual. While it might be considered strange in the Central Plains, it was perfectly acceptable in a turbulent place like Liangzhou. For self-preservation, there was nothing to say.
"No, I'll go propose in a few days. Little sister, do you have a man you like?" Lu Ming smiled and pinched his sister's cheek, like an intimate gesture between lovers.
The younger sister, Lu Qing, wrinkled her nose and snorted, "I don't want to get married! Those matchmakers co every day, it's so annoying! And my aunt and the others co all this way to propose, it's so annoying, they only do it because you're such a high-ranking official."
