When winning becomes a habit.

In Li Ze's view, this is an excellent thing, which represents the trust of the people in him, and also means that the regime under his leadership has gathered a strong centripetal force and cohesion, no matter when, when the people firmly believe that he will win the final victory, it will inevitably help him overcome all obstacles and obstacles, and finally move towards a more brilliant victory.

This made Li Ze very happy.

Even if the arrival of this good news made him have to return to the public hall to handle official business.

The so-called feudal office, that is, to give those officials at the lowest level a few days of rest, for him and some people in important positions, holidays or something, it seems that there is no such thing.

Being an official under Li Ze is not a pleasant thing.

Compared with the huge and bloated bureaucrats in the previous official office, the current small court in Zhenzhou can really be said to be extremely concise. Although it is not possible to use women as men and men as livestock, the officials of Zhenzhou are really tired.

Because they have a leader who only looks at the results, not the process.

When you assign a thing, you have to do it well, do it well, and he doesn't care how you do it. And the supervision of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the examination of the officials are all swords hanging over the heads of officials, and you don't know when they will fall.

It's hard, but no one is slacking off.

A thriving, energetic new regime is always fascinating.

Here, some people really want to do something for the people, and they feel happy when they see their efforts finally bear fruit.

There are also those who see that this court will never be limited to the north in the future, and one day in the future, it will definitely go to the whole Tang Dynasty, and if you do it well now, you will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, so the bitterness you eat now will be transformed into sweetness in the future, and how bitter it is now, how sweet it will be in the future.

Of course, there are also some people who are in this environment, under the reflection of their colleagues, and have to work hard with their butts and arching their heads, otherwise in a large group of people who work hard, there is such a lazy person, which will be particularly eye-catching.

If you don't want to be such an eye-catching person, you have to work hard with the light and work hard with the big guys.

Of course, Li Ze is also generous.

The salaries paid to officials are extremely high.

Rewarding titles is also not stingy.

The current title of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court is not lightly given, but as long as it is given, it is very solid. Although he no longer rewards fiefs or anything, he converts the corresponding food and other things into silver taels, and replaces them with money.

Li Ze finally took back most of the land under his rule and distributed it to the people, so naturally he would not reward the officials under his command with land.

You have the money and want to buy land, you can. But it can't exceed 5,000 acres, which is also Li Ze's biggest concession to the landlords. In fact, the current cascade tax system also makes the landlords daunting, if there is really a person who owns 5,000 acres of land, the taxes and fees paid will definitely make him unhappy.

1,000 mu is a big hurdle, and then every whole number, the tax rises by one-third, and the large landlords of more than 3,000 mu pay twice as much tax as the others, which is enough to discourage these people from thinking of getting more land.

I really have so much land, all year round, I can't leave anything, and I have to pay subsidies out of my own pocket, who is willing to do such a loss-making business?

Oppose?

Forget it!

With the successive victories of Li Ze's army, his prestige is rising day by day, and no one dares to resist at all. The army's bright knife and absolute support for Li Ze are the greatest deterrent to everyone.

Of course, Li Ze is not without troubles.

Let's say, Hedong!

Cao Zhang's embarrassed return from Hedong made Li Yu furious. For this scholar husband she won with great difficulty, Li Yu is extremely rare, holding a belly that is obviously already in her arms, and she stepped on the horse to go to Han Qi to ask for an explanation. Fortunately, Wang Sili was very sober-headed, and he ran all the way to intercept Li Mi, who had already left Zhenzhou.

Hedong is not his own!

For example, in the river!

Where is Ding Jian, where the grass has grown under his ass, and he has said all the good things, and he has recently begun to show his fangs to those stubborn guys. But this made Li Ze a little happy. Ding Jian's ability is still very important to him, and if this guy can really switch from the side of the big landlord and the gentry to his side, it will still be very beneficial to the future. However, when this guy was not ready to be rough in Huairou, his methods were a little rough, and Tu Lichun wrote that he was ready to wipe Ding Jian's buttocks.

Li Ze was also preparing to wipe Ding Jian's buttocks. A large number of internal guards have entered the river.

Those big landlords and gentry are already colluding with the pseudo-Liang, and this is the best handle.

Jing Xiang, the guy who should kill a thousand knives, may not know that what these big gentry and big landowners are doing is just a dream of Huang Liang, but he still vigorously supports these guys, and he sends weapons and officers. All he wanted was to create some chaos for Li Ze, so that Li Ze had to spend a lot of extra thoughts.

But he was doomed to disappointment.

Because from the very beginning, Li Ze never thought that there was a peaceful way to solve the problem in the river. Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents! Those big landlords and gentry must have resisted, and Li Ze had already prepared for this, and now he is just waiting for an opportunity, and then extinguishing the counterattack of these guys with a thunderous force.

The surrender of the Gao family in the river made Li Ze have no worries at all. Gao Lei's current Taishi deserves a taste! After crushing the dead hand in the river, and then letting Gao Lei go back to appease him, it was almost done.

The river is no better than the east of the river.

Not only can it not be compared in terms of territory, but it is not comparable in terms of strength.

Li Ze's ability to tolerate Hedong and his willingness to cast a long line to catch big fish in Hedong does not mean that he also has such patience in the river. After all, the river borders on the pseudo-beam, and the geographical location is important, so the sooner you have complete control in your hands, the sooner you can rest assured.

Han Qi returned from Jianchang.

This great victory completely established the absolute advantage of the imperial court military horses in Pingzhou, and to a certain extent, also solved the threat of the northeast to the Zhenzhou court.

Next, as long as the problem of the northwest direction is solved, then the Zhenzhou court can wholeheartedly start crusading against the pseudo-Liang.

"After a battle, more than 30,000 people of Deng Jingshan were captured, and according to Li Xiang's intentions, we allowed Deng Jingshan to leave with 5,000 people." Han Qi pointed to the map and said: "From Chaoyang, Jianping, Lingyuan to Jianchang, it is all in our hands, and it can be attacked and defended." ”

He raised his head and said with a smile: "Actually, the Deng Jingshan armed group in Pingzhou is almost finished. After going back, Deng Jingshan, I am afraid that more attention should be put on the struggle for power and profit with Liu Siyuan, in the conversation with his marching Sima Song Yu, we found that they are very likely to follow the policy we implemented in Yanzhou and other places in Pingzhou, which will inevitably conflict with Liu Siyuan's fundamental interests, so next, we might as well watch them eat dog on the side. Li Xiang's move is breathtaking. ”

"Expected." Li Ze said with a smile: "If you are a person, you will have interests, and if you have interests, there will be conflicts, one side will gain, and one side will be damaged, Deng Jingshan suffered heavy losses on the battlefield this time, if he wants to recover his strength as soon as possible, he has to bite a few pieces of meat from Liu Siyuan, can you tell Liu Chenglin that you want to give Deng Jingshan some support?" ”

"Nature." Han Qi said with a smile. "General Liu is more attentive and happier than me. If Deng Jingshan really learns from us in Pingzhou, this is a good thing, and after we win Pingzhou in the future, we will save worry and effort. ”

"Deng Jingshan will also become an outlier within Zhang Zhongwu's group because of this incident." Li Ze smiled from ear to ear: "Zhang Zhongwu Group, to put it bluntly, is still a team organized with the support of large local gentry. ”

"Gu Han has already followed Deng Jingshan, and at this point in time, maybe he has already met Zhang Zhongwu." Han Qi said: "In addition, Song Yu also said that if everything goes well, after the beginning of the year, he is very likely to come back with Gu Han and formally discuss the peace agreement between the two sides and all-round cooperation with Li Xiang." ”

"Welcome!" Li Zedao: "There are a lot of good things in the Northeast that make me greedy, and with Zhang Zhongwu, a coolie, we have to make good use of it." ”

Han Qi nodded again and again: "Li Xiang, besides, how to settle these tens of thousands of captives, there must be a charter." ”

"Han Shangshu has worked hard this trip, go back and rest for a few days first, this matter is not in a hurry, let's talk about it after the New Year!" Li Zedao.

"So, I took my leave." Han Qi stood up and took his leave.

Seeing Han Qi walk to the door, Li Ze stopped him again: "Han Shangshu, these days, you still don't go to Zhenzhou, just take care of yourself in Wuyi, right?" ”

"Huh?" Han Qi didn't understand for a while.

"Li Mi wants to settle accounts with you!" Li Ze said with a smile: "I heard that Cao Zhang suffered a lot of grievances in Fenyin, and even the mice were used to fill his stomach, and he was poured a basin of cold water on his head on a snowy day, and he became seriously ill after he came back!" Even Cao Shangshu was furious. ”

Han Qi was stunned in place, and only after a long time did he say sneeringly: "Li Xiang, I don't know about this matter. When I was in Hedong, I also told them not to embarrass Cao Zhang. ”

"I believe this, you must have said it, but ah, their method is a little special, Han Shangshu, go back and find out?" Li Zedao.
