After the initial brutal growth, it is time for the Yixing Society to enter a period of stability and deep cultivation. In Li Ze's view, the internal needs to be cleaned up, and the several cases that have appeared in a row in the past six months are already very telling. Yixingtang in Yizhou, Cangzhou, Shenzhou, Dizhou and other places, not only deeply penetrated into the countryside, but also completely controlled the power of the government, after the combination of the two, the energy is huge, but if something goes wrong, the destructive power is also great.

Li Ze needs to re-establish the rules for the Yixing Society. This is one of them, and the second is that Li Ze has to admit that even if he now controls the land of the eleven states, the most powerful ones are still Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, and these two places are essentially the places where the landlords and squires are the masters of the house. Although the process of measuring acres of land and cleaning up household workers has weakened the strength of these strata to a great extent, Li Ze also knows very well that he is afraid that this has reached the limit of their patience.

If the string is too tight, it will break.

And then, he will inevitably usher in the most difficult period of his life. He needs to integrate all his forces and unite to deal with the foreign enemy first, and only after defeating Zhang Zhongwu can he talk about anything else.

Therefore, the plague-like mode of crazy expansion with the help of administrative power in the early stage of the Yixing Society must be stopped.

In the following time, Li Ze must let these areas controlled by the Yixing Society show their ability and strength far beyond other places in terms of military, politics, and economy, and transfer his basic plate from Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, so as to lay a good foundation for future reforms.

Li Ze did not doubt this. Because he had no doubt about the ability to mobilize and the determination to concentrate on great things.

Yizhou is one step ahead, and among these five states, it has become a leader, and what Li Ze wants to do next is to reshape a Texas in a short period of time, an important industrial town in his hope.

The funds will be greatly tilted towards Texas, which is still a deserted state.

On the way back, he had already made a plan for the reconstruction of Texas, a blank piece of paper for painting, when Li Ze burned Texas to the ground with a fire, he really didn't think that there would be such a day.

The plan has been sent back to Wuyi and handed over to Xia He, who will organize manpower and judge the money, manpower, and so on that the plan will cost.

Li Ze hoped that when he returned to Wuyi, he would immediately put this major project related to his future development on the agenda.

This is a matter that will definitely meet with great resistance.

But now Li Ze has the confidence to do things according to his expectations.

There was a knock on the door three times, and Li Mi pushed the door in.

"Childe, Gao Xiangsheng asks to see!" Li Mi said.

"Ask him to come in." Li Ze nodded.

The first contact with the imperial court began with this Gao joining the army, of course, now he is a lieutenant general. However, this time, his public identity was the Chinese army protector of the 10,000 Divine Ce Army led by Xue Ping.

The emperor still sent someone to spy on Xue Ping, or rather, to monitor himself.

Although he knew Gao Xiangsheng's identity, Li Ze couldn't hate this person. This is a shrewd and extremely pragmatic person, and more importantly, his loyalty to the imperial court also makes Li Ze very impressed, at this time, it is really not easy to find a few such people.

Even Xue Ping can hardly say that he is loyal to the imperial court and has no consideration of his own at all. But Gao Xiangsheng really didn't think about himself.

Li Ze knew that he was not a loyal minister, and he could even say that he was a person whose interests came first, but this did not prevent him from expressing his admiration for creatures like loyal ministers, and he wanted to find out his way to win these people over.

"You may be seated, General Gao!" Li Ze said with a smile: "If Xue Shilang knows that you came to me alone, I'm afraid I will be unhappy." ”

Gao Xiangsheng bowed his hand, sat down generously, and said with a smile: "Xue Shilang understands very well in his heart that I, the protector of the Chinese army, have other responsibilities. ”

"Spy on him, or me!"

"Both." Gao Xiangsheng said calmly: "Li Shuai naturally understands this, I will send a report to Chang'an every three days on average, of course, if Li Shuai minds, I will also show these reports to Li Shuai first." ”

Li Ze laughed: "Then you, the prison guard, will be derelict in your duties." ”

"Jie Shuai, if there is really anything unfavorable to you, I don't think I will send it out in this kind of semi-public official document!" Gao Xiangsheng said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"You, you!" Li Ze pointed at the other party and smiled: "That is, I can tolerate you, that is, Xue Ping has a good temperament, change someone, and don't find a chance to kill you, that's a strange thing." ”

"I'm useful to Li Shuai. How could a person like Li Shuai solve the problem by simply slaughtering people? Gao Xiangsheng slapped his ass quietly.

"Don't say it, it's really a one-and-done solution." Li Ze smiled: "Say, what is the big deal about coming to me?" Anyway, as soon as I saw you, I knew something big was going to happen. ”

"It's a big deal!" The smile on Gao Xiangsheng's face faded, "Over there, there is some instability over there. ”

Li Ze was stunned, Hedong was unstable, which was not a good thing for him. If something goes wrong with Hedong, it means that next, he will have to bear the pressure of Zhang Zhongwu alone.

"What happened to Gao Yu?" He was keenly aware that there must be something wrong with Gao Yu, otherwise with Gao Yu's ability, this kind of thing would definitely not happen.

"I just got the news, too. Gao Yu is seriously ill. Gao Xiangsheng sighed: "Gao Biao himself also knows that the matter is big, and Hedong Jiezhen will hide this matter from the airtight, but in this world, there is no impermeable wall, and now I know, those big people in Hedong are afraid that they already know." ”

"To what extent?" Li Ze's mood suddenly became heavy, under the command of Gao Biao in Hedong, he controlled nearly 60,000 armor soldiers, which was the largest force of the imperial court in the north, but these 60,000 armor soldiers belonged to the Heavenly Soldier Army, the Datong Army, the Hengye Army, the Lan Army, the Yunzhong Guard, and Xinzhou, Daizhou, and Lanzhou. Hedong is the Hedong of the imperial court, and without Gao Biao, I am afraid that Hedong will immediately become a plate of loose sand.

"It's not clear yet, but I'm afraid it's not good!" Gao Xiangsheng said, "I have already sent someone over. Hopefully bring back the news sooner. ”

Li Ze walked around the house several times with some irritability before standing still, "Since you have also received the news, I am afraid that Zhang Zhongwu's side will also get the same news." And Zhang Zhongwu's means of testing Hedong will be very simple, he only needs to speed up and increase the transfer of the main force from Hedong to the direction of our Wuwei on a large scale, once Gao Biao does not react in time, he can verify this one thing. ”

Gao Xiangsheng nodded.

"Could it be that Gao Biao gave Zhang Zhongwu a trick?" Li Ze had a whim.

Gao Xiangsheng was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he react: "This, how is this possible?" ”

Li Ze just said that, and when he heard Gao Xiangsheng's rebuttal, he was also deflated: "It's really unlikely, in that situation in Hedong, people's hearts are going to disperse, and it is not easy to really close them." No one dares to joke about this, it seems that our big battle with Zhang Zhongwu is about to advance. ”

"That's a possibility. If Hedong didn't have Gao Yu, he would no longer be a threat from Zhang Zhongwu, he could fight and pull, maybe there were still some people who wanted to rely on him to win glory and wealth. Gao Xiangsheng sighed. Li Shuai, I came to you in such a hurry, so I want you to prepare early. ”

"Hedong's affairs, you should work harder!" After some panic at the beginning, Li Ze calmed down at this time, the deterioration of the external form is something he can't control, he can only see the moves, and now the more important thing is, of course, to integrate the inside of Wuwei.

After the merger of the three towns, it will take some time to form a joint force, and now, this expected time area will obviously be shortened due to Gao Yu.

"How did Gao Biao really have an accident, you have to try your best to win over or stabilize a group of people, what Zhang Zhongwu can give, I Wuwei can also give, the court can also give, we may be able to give more. At the very least, some of them should remain neutral until the winner is decided. Li Ze thought for a while and said, "My father also has some friends in Hedong, and I will also exert my strength when I turn back." ”

"That's all there is to it now." High elephant ascension. "Li Shuai, if there are no other orders, I will go down and make arrangements."

"Wait a minute, I've got something to look for you." Li Ze waved his hand and signaled Gao Xiangsheng to be calm and calm.

"I don't know if Li Shuai needs me to do anything?" Gao Xiangsheng was a little surprised.

"Four Seas Commerce." Li Ze spat out four words. "You've been in contact with them all the time, and you've had a good relationship. In the past, I was just a poor man, and they were able to find me to invest in it with their own eyes, but now I am a party Jiezhen, the general of Qianniuwei, and the general of the Northland March, is the value of this investment greater? ”

Listening to Li Ze's ridiculous words, even though Gao Xiangchang was full of worries, he couldn't help laughing: "Li Shuai, just because you are in full swing now, they will be more cautious!" ”

"Afraid that I will turn my face and not recognize people?" Li Zedao.

Gao Xiangsheng nodded: "Li Shuai is short of money again?" ”

"I've been short of money all the time, but I've never been so short of money." Li Zedao: "I need a big investment. ”

Gao Xiangsheng groaned: "Li Shuai, the reason why Sihai Commerce is hesitant now is because the implementation of Li Shuai's series of policies has aroused the vigilance of these people, and they believe that Li Shuai's investment value is rapidly decreasing because of the implementation of these policies, and now many people even think that you are very likely to become their gravedigger." At this time, if you want to get a large investment from them, I am afraid that it will be very difficult. ”

"You're talking about some people!" Li Ze smiled: "That means that there are still people who think they can support me, right?" There are all kinds of people in the four seas trade, and their interests are also different, and with General Gao's ability, it is not difficult to pry open a crack. ”

"I'll try!" Gao Xiangsheng said a little helplessly.
