Hearing Chu Mo's undisguised threat, Chu Xin's lips curved into a hint of sarcasm:

"Chu Mo, do you think such a large territory can be controlled by your soldiers and generals alone?"

"What's more, don't forget, you promised me before that the jurisdiction of Panzhou City belongs to me, and your people are not allowed to enter."

Chu Mo nodded and did not refute Chu Xin's words, but said seriously:

"You are right, the inside of Panzhou City is under your jurisdiction, and I have no intention of sending anyone in, but outside Panzhou City, that is still my territory."

"I am now officially informing you that from now on, I am going to conduct militarized management of all the people in the fief, reorganize their household registrations, and issue identity certificates in the form of digital codes."

"Everyone in my fiefdom must wear a special digital identity certificate. Anyone who does not have an identity certificate can, upon verification, be arrested by anyone and sent to the government to receive the reward."

"In addition, anyone who is found to have arbitrarily borrowed their ID card will be demoted to a slave immediately upon verification. Moreover, I am also planning to implement a joint sitting system. If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be punished."

"I wonder what my dear sister thinks of this plan?"

After Chu Mo finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xin with a smile.

Chu Xin looked shocked: "Chu Mo, do you know that in this way, you have completely restricted the flow of people in the fief. How is this different from seclusion?"

"Don't forget that you are a merchant. The people you moved here will not be able to be self-sufficient in a short period of time, at least within two years. Many of your daily necessities will need to be transported from other places. "

"Aren't you worried that if this happens, merchants from other places will stop interacting with you and cut off your business routes?"

Chu Mo shrugged and said indifferently:

"There is nothing to worry about. I have already thought about it. I will set up a commercial market in Luozhou City, a commercial market that anyone can enter. I will issue temporary identities to all merchants who enter my fiefdom. Certificates and passes.”

"Moreover, I am also planning to integrate all the resources on my fiefdom to form a related industrial chain and turn the fiefdom into a large-scale processing factory. The people in the fiefdom are engaged in farming and production, and I will arrange special people to purchase and sell them. To achieve mutual benefit.”

When Chu Xin heard that Chu Mo had already made a corresponding plan, and knew that what he just said was not a lie to her, her expression suddenly turned ugly.

The other party was ready to make big moves, but they didn't get even a hint of trouble from their side. This shows that the personnel deployed are still not professional and effective enough.

Chu Xin felt irritated for no reason when she thought that if Chu Mo really followed the current plan and re-established the identity and household registration policy, the personnel he had deployed would have restrictions on their actions in the future.

"Chu Mo, your plan sounds like a good one. In order for you to develop as quickly as possible, and for you to be able to compete with Li Shimin as soon as possible, I have decided to add an additional 20 shi of food."

Chu Mo chuckled, looked at Chu Xin and shook his head:

"Either you give 60 stones, or I will send people to surround Panzhou City now, and then conduct door-to-door inspections and registrations."

"Are you sure you want to do this? Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Chu Xin was really angry this time.

Chu Mo nodded with certainty:

"Anyway, if I can't get food, Li Shimin will send a large army. According to what you said, my useless men will definitely not be able to defeat them."

"Rather than being driven out of the fiefdom with nothing in half a month, it's better to grab a handful from your big fat sheep now. If you're lucky, maybe you can actually come up with 60 shi of food."

"You... Very good, Chu Mo, you are very good. I have paid for these 60 stones of food, but you must agree that from now on, you are not allowed to do anything outside Panzhou City or inside Panzhou City. Use this to blackmail me, otherwise, at worst, I will move to another place, and I will not make it easy for you then."

Chu Mo curled his lips in frustration:

"My dear sister, do you think, looking at the whole world, is there any place that is more suitable for your development than here? Are you willing to leave here?"

"If you really want to leave, why not get out as soon as possible before you get stuck in the quagmire?"

Faced with Chu Mo's straightforward push, Chu Xin really had nowhere to vent her anger.

Seeing the look on the opponent's face that didn't deserve a beating, Chu Xin's fists tightened and then tightened, finally feeling the tangled mood Li Shimin had felt before.

Indeed, if I were to fall out with Chu Mo now, I would not be able to capture Chu Mo directly according to my current arrangements.

But what happens after we take it?

Not to mention that the other party still has tens of thousands of troops in their hands, and not to mention whether Yang Hongyu and the others will retaliate against themselves after they come back. I just want to talk about the court. Can they just watch this place change hands and ignore it?

Li Shimin originally agreed to set aside this area and grant it to Chu Mo because of Chu Mo's own reasons. But now, he has a hint of regret.

Now that Chu Mo was still intact, he was thinking about how to deal with it. If Chu Mo disappeared, Chu Xin believed that the other party would send someone to take it back as soon as possible.

As for returning to her base camp, Luoyang, Chu Xin had never even thought about it.

Ever since Cheng Yaojin followed Li Shimin's orders and directly changed from a pioneer officer to a disaster relief envoy, he has been wandering around Luoyang.

If it weren't for the other party's lack of movement, Chu Xin would have thought that the old man had discovered something and was setting a trap there to wait for her.

Now that the situation is unclear, Chu Xin does not plan to return to Luoyang, lest someone find out her true identity.

Thinking of this, Chu Xin exhaled, and at the same time loosened her clenched fists and looked at Chu Mo and said:

"I have paid all the 100 million stones of grain, but I have a request, that is, we will make a non-aggression treaty with Maoming outside Panzhou City as the boundary."

"Don't worry about what I do over there, and I will no longer care about your life and death here. The offensive and defensive alliance agreement signed before is also invalid. If you agree, you and I will sign a new agreement. If we don't agree, then I will Let everyone evacuate.”

Chu Mo frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:

"I can agree to your request, and the agreement on the offensive and defensive alliance can be voided. However, you still have to give me the skills you promised to give me before. In addition, you must also let everyone under your command evacuate without leaving behind. My place includes the details you arranged."

When talking about the details, Chu Mo simply gritted his teeth and said it.

While he couldn't get away, the other party had already planted countless spies here. Although some of them had been cleaned up now, Chu Mo absolutely believed that those who had not been found and cleaned up were his biggest problems.
