After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

The possibility of success of this smuggled mission was too low, and Mu Qing forgot about it within a few days.

The Tiansheng Dynasty had thirteen prefectures and states, Shengjing, Zhoumo, Mengqian, Xinping, Beiyang, Nanwan, Guangsha, Anping, Nanwei, Shu, Dao, Jiaonei, Jiaowai...

Shengjing is adjacent to Zhoumo and Mengqian. In the north of the territory, Mengqian is connected to Xinping. The area north of Xinping does not belong to the sphere of influence of the Tianchi Dynasty, but to nomadic countries such as Gumeng and Zhenqing.

Beiyang and Nanwan are the prefectural capitals that are closer to Shengjing besides Zhoumo. These two cities are in the southwest of the territory.

Next are Guangsha, Anping and Nanwei in the southeast.

The remaining city in the northeast is millet, rice, inside and outside the focus.

The cities with the largest population and counties are Shengjing, Zhoumo and Dao.

Below the state are counties and townships.

Anping is poor and has only six counties.

Cities like Shengjing and Zhoumo, which have large maps and large populations, usually have more than a dozen counties.

According to the information Mu Qing knows now, Shengjing, Zhoumo and Mengqian are still controlled by the scholars, court officials, eunuchs and relatives of the Tianchi Dynasty.

Among the three parts of power, eunuchs have the weakest power.

However, the eunuchs were connected with the external relatives, and the situation seemed to overwhelm the court officials.

The throne was hollowed out and the imperial power was almost reduced to zero.

The turmoil surrounding Shengjing will not affect Anping for the time being.

Mu Qing was worried about Guangsha and Nanwei further south.

The refugee army had previously occupied Guangsha City, Southern Wei, Shuzhou and Daozhou.

After "Min"'s death, the refugee army split into two factions. Shuzhou and Southern Wei were controlled by the refugee army headed by Chen Shui, while Guangsha and Daozhou were controlled by Qiao Yuanqiong.

When Qiao Yuanqiong's army arrives at a city, the people in that city will be in dire straits.

If Qiao Yuanqiong had not attacked Anping, the people of Guangsha and Daozhou would have been sucked dry by Qiao Yuanqiong sooner or later.

After Mu Qing defeated the refugee army, he sent scouts to inquire about the news of Guangsha.

Daozhou was far away, so Mu Qing had no intention of attacking the city, but he did try to capture the nearby Guangsha.

Unfortunately, Chen Shui was too well-informed. He took advantage of the weakness in the rear of Qiao Yuanqiong's refugee army and entered the city early to capture Guangsha.

Compared with Guangsha and Anping, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so if you want to attack the city, you can only break through from Zhongxian.

Mu Qing gave up because it was too difficult to capture Guangsha.

Now it seems that the four states of Guangsha, Nanwei, Shuzhou and Daozhou are all in Chen Shui's hands.

Judging from the population and development of the four states, Chen Shui’s refugee army had grown to at least 120,000 people.

Further south of Anping is Qingrong City, which does not belong to the territory of the Tianchi Dynasty.

There are two major forces in Qingrong City.

Qingrong City is known as the City of Southern Barbarians. The largest forces in the city are the large and small southern barbarian tribes, which have settled here for hundreds of years.

Many tribes live a primitive life and have not been educated.

Another force is the big family of the previous dynasty.

These big families moved to Qingrong City more than three hundred years ago, bringing farming knowledge and writing to the locals. Half of the southern barbarians rejected these families and opposed them.

These families were also called remnants of the previous dynasty by the scholars of the Tianchi Dynasty.

Although Anping is some distance away from Qingrong City, one has to cross at least several mountains or cross the Wei River in Southern Wei to reach Qingrong.

But Mu Qing will still take Qingrong City into consideration.

Even if there are rivers and mountains blocking the way, it has been several months since the Shengjing Incident. The families in Qingrong City must have learned the news from Shengjing, and there is no guarantee that they will not send troops there.

When these families came to Tianchi, the first cities they chose were either Southern Wei or Anping.

From this perspective, Anping's situation becomes even more difficult.

The refugee army that Chen Shui belongs to is different from the original refugee army.

The refugee army no longer went out to annex other areas.

Mu Qing was always on guard against the refugee army. Guangsha City had been closed off, and the people of Guangsha were not even allowed to leave Guangsha.

Almost all the refugees and ordinary people absorbed by Anping came from Guangsha and Southern Wei.

The tight lockdown of these two cities slowed down Anping's population growth and even made it impossible to expand the market.

Some of the ready-made clothes that flowed into Guangsha not long ago were brought by merchants.

Mu Qing sighed.

It will take longer to revitalize the economy and promote economic growth in Anping alone than to do so in several surrounding cities.

Anping’s market is only that big.

The textile factory's inventory of ready-made clothes has increased, and Jiang He has just received a batch of orders not long ago, so there are no other caravans.

Anping is now in a dilemma, and the farming cause has just begun.

Mu Qing searched for cotton seeds for a long time, but Tianchi only had kapok seeds for filling pillows, but no cotton for making cloth.

Last year, the people of Anping survived the winter by burning charcoal.

Mu Qing, You Yi and Jiang He all talked about the characteristics and seed shapes of cotton. In addition to cotton, Mu Qing also wanted to find various plants such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and tomatoes.

There is still no news.

There are a lot more factories in Anping this year. Mu Qing specially approved a piece of land to raise a lot of ducks and chickens. Clothes filled with duck down are also a good choice for keeping warm.

Anping currently not only grows hybrid rice but also millet and beans that have been improved to possess some excellent traits.

Mu Qing took a sip of milk tea tiredly and continued to plan Anping’s farming plan.

Mu Qing stared at the milk tea on the table and took a sip with satisfaction.

Milk tea is still the best.

In addition to chickens and ducks in Anping, Mu Qing also raised a group of dairy cows.

These dairy cows were originally raised to provide nutrition for the group of children that Shen Moyan brought back at the beginning. Many of the children entered the county government when they were fifteen years old.

The more cows we raise, the more milk we can produce.

Mu Qing simply used the extra milk as a benefit for officials.

As long as you are an official in the yamen, you can get two cups of milk every day.

Even though Mu Qing shared the milk.

There is always a lot of milk left over from the daily milking, and in order to avoid waste, Mu Qing simply opened a milk tea shop on the main street.

The combination of milk and tea is actually quite popular in Gumeng, but it has not yet been introduced to Tianchi.

Mu Qing compared the map of Tianchi. The terrain here is similar but also different from the geographical location of China on Earth.

In general, the location and orientation are not much different, but there are some differences in things like mineral distribution.

Mu Qing heard about the record of milk tea from a traveling merchant from ancient Mongolia in Shengjing. He was sure that the customs there were somewhat similar to those in Mengcheng, China.

The prices at Mu Qing's milk tea shop are a little higher than those of ordinary people, about ten to twenty cents for a cup of milk tea.

There are private rooms on the second floor of the milk tea shop. The price of a cup of milk tea is several times higher, which is specially designed to exploit the rich.

Because there is a lot of milk left, at this price, the milk supply is more than enough for a milk tea shop.

Since the milk tea shop opened, business has been booming.

People with spare money are willing to try it.

When Mu Qing opened the account book the next day, he was shocked. Because the milk tea shop was owned by the government, except for a little money for buying tea, it was almost all pure profit.

In this way, Mu Qing roughly calculated that he sold several hundred cups of milk tea in a day, which was equivalent to the daily income of the salt shop.
