After General Longxiang finished speaking, Li Huai basically understood the so-called historical evolution of the changes in Jingnan and many reasons.

Suddenly, Li Huai rubbed his temples, and his witty and intelligent brain began to run quickly. Countless information flowed through his mind, and the rich experience and knowledge from before the journey began to play a decisive role—

To put it bluntly, in today's era, the level of transportation and communication is low, and the economic and political center is still in the north. However, according to Li Huai's speculation, since it has experienced the Southern and Northern Dynasties, coupled with some records in the southeast Jiangzuo, especially the excavation of the Grand Canal, in fact, the phenomenon of the economic center moving south has begun to occur.

It is precisely because of the southward movement of the economic center that the old route from Guanzhong to Lingnan - Han River, Yunmeng, Xiang River and Beijiang, were gradually abandoned and turned into a secondary route, so that even development stopped and a retreat in productivity levels occurred.

It is precisely because of the rapid development of Jiangnan, the direct influence of aristocratic families and wealthy families, and the development of commerce and handicrafts in coastal areas that the eastern lines of the Yellow River, Grand Canal, Yangtze River, Poyang Lake, Ganjiang River and Beijiang gradually emerged and gradually replaced the western lines.

This eventually caused the recession of the inland transportation line in Jingnan.

Now, the central axis of this recession line was controlled by General Longxiang. As a result, due to the recession, there was no way to develop normally. It was also because of the connection between the plains and was continuously sucked by Jingzhou in the north, which was even worse.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Huai couldn't help but like himself in his heart. He was a little clever and smart person who was good at politics and could be thorough at a glance. After listening to the teacher's explanation, he immediately found the key to the problem, and it is me!

He smiled.

"Your level is still a thumbs up to yourself? 1 complaint!"

Li Huai ignored the system's narration. He knew very well that the system had not appeared for a long time, and it was a narration. The reason why he always attacked with a savage tongue was nothing more than envying his adjective of being young, promising, handsome, and talented. Since that's the case, why bother to worry about it?

Should be more tolerant.

"You must have understood why this exposure that passed through Jingnan will decline," General Longxiang looked at Li Huai, looking like you were my apprentice, and I knew you were very good at it. "But have you ever thought about why there is such a line? Or, in other words, why does the court always need a road to Lingnan whether it is Jingnan or the road to the east?"

Li Huai's smile stiffened on his face, he used his brain again, and had a vague answer.

Obviously, in this era of no opening, there are no trade ports in Lingnan. If it is said to be for trade, it is almost untenable. There may be some elements, but it cannot be said to be mainstream. In contrast, maintaining control and communication over the territory is more realistic.

In fact, this is the case. When Li Huai expressed his guess, he immediately received praise from General Longxiang.

"Yes, this is the reason. Any unified dynasty will continue to expand its etiquette and majesty to educate all directions. This dynasty has special reasons and the central authority is weak, but this does not hinder its thinking about the four sides. Because the four sides are barriers, if you want to remain unabashed, you must have barriers to protect it. It is just that the control of this dynasty is mainly concentrated in the Central Plains and Jiangzuo, so our Jingnan area has been temporarily put down because the power of the court is limited."

"Since I'm just letting it go for a while, I'll pick it up sooner or later," Li Huai narrowed his eyes and immediately understood the key inside. "But the court must have not expected that in just a few decades, not only did he not clean up his authority and demonstrate etiquette, but the central government fell and separatist everywhere. The original border barrier had to be compromised and shrunk again and again. Now for the heartland of the Central Plains and Guanzhong, it's hard to say where the northern border is. The southern one may only reach Jingzhou."

"Yes, that's exactly the truth," General Longxiang looked pleased, "You know the situation in the world so well, you deserve to be the remnant of the previous dynasty, and you have great ambitions!"

“???”

Li Huai immediately had a question mark on his face, thinking that his teacher's words were very problematic.

I won’t complain about such ambitions. What does your previous dynasty mean? Why do you say it in an admirable tone? I feel embarrassed!

No! I have great ambitions, when I come to this world, I have to be low-key!

"Since you have a clear identity, you will naturally not hide anything as a teacher," General Longxiang naturally would not know these thoughts in Li Huai's heart. "After all, in this chaotic world, if you want to avoid being bullied, you must do something. I set up a foundation. No matter what the reason is, there is no way back. Now that I am assassinated in Jingzhou, it is even more difficult to have a way out. I can only go one way to the end and see what the result will be."

Li Huai's eyes twitched, feeling that things were not simple.

My teacher, you just gave a background introduction, which is a normal plot. What are you doing now? I am just a passerby in this world, so don’t tell me these things.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Huai couldn't help but say: "Teacher, things are not necessarily bad, so Jingzhou has some concerns..."

"The balance of the world is originally fragile. Once it is destroyed, chaos will be coming. The same is true for specific places," General Longxiang looked at Li Huai and shook his head gently. "Especially because of your special identity and background, it is even more worrying. It would be fine if your teacher didn't know much about it in the past. Now that you know, you must take care of you more. After all, there is still a way out for your teacher, but you don't have it."

“…”

Teacher, I doubt you are hinting at something.

Seeing Li Huai's excessive shock, General Longxiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be surprised. I know that the qualifications of my nephews are useless. My foundation will be divided up in an instant when it is passed on to them. Even now, the family left in the north will disappoint me. The tribe members have become vassals and minions. If they are allowed to take power, my land will have the same result."

Then he sighed: "I am uneasy, and for some reasons, I have to think about the successor, but both parents and children have died." He was a little depressed, "I have not passed the test, so I don't hide it from you. This is why I value my disciples."

Li Huai was stunned and frowned.

Teacher, what do you mean? What are you doing? Is it possible to be a monk? I... I want to become a monk!
