In the study, Sima Tu was immersed in writing, the door was pushed open, and Li Xun strode in.

Sima Tu looked up and saw that Li Xun had uncontrollable happiness on his face, and couldn't help but chuckle: "The lord is full of spring breeze." But what good things are coming? ”

Li Xun said with a smile: "The emperor has officially issued an edict appointing me as the envoy of Wuzhou Jiedu, and let me return to Wuzhou as soon as possible to preside over the overall military situation of the three states of Longyou West Road." ”

"It's really a happy event, no wonder the lord is so happy."

Sima Tu nodded with a smile, his expression seemed relatively calm, Li Xun's appointment and results were within his expectations.

Then, Sima Tu poured Li Xun a cup of tea and asked him to sit for a while, and then returned to the table to finish the unfinished business, then took the booklet, walked down, and sat next to Li Xun.

"Lord, this is the roster of the Dark Guard, take a look."

Li Xun took the booklet and looked through it carefully.

The direct commander and supreme leader of the secret guard, although he is still Liu Xie, but the final decision-making power was handed over to Sima Tu by Li Xun, such as the transfer of more than 3,000 taels of money, the action of more than ten people, the implementation of major events, etc., must go through Sima Tu or Li Xun.

After all, after combining with You Min, Li Xun is no longer a person, but with many people, many families have been implicated.

According to the regulations, the military generals at the level of the governor, the place where they work, their families are to stay in the capital to live, that is, as hostages, there are no explicit regulations, just an unspoken rule, the court appointed, no need for others to say, the parties will immediately go to the book, ask their families to stay in the capital, but Li Xun is different, because Li Yi, because of the prince Zhao Xun, Zhao Zhi does not have too much suspicion and suspicion of Li Xun, after the appointment, Zhao Zhi also specifically mentioned that Li Xun will be separated from his wife soon after he gets married, and the two places are separated. It's not very good, if Li Xun is willing, he can bring his family with him, this is a great trust of the Son of Heaven to his subordinates.

Leaving is imminent, Li Xun arranged the affairs of the family himself, and the secret guard handed it over to Sima Tu.

Sima Tu made two arrangements, all the more than 100 elite secret guards including Liu Xie were transferred to Wuzhou, and Hu Zengsi was transferred back to Fengjing to be full-time in Central Plains affairs.

Then there are the three casinos and five green buildings in the hands of the dark guard, except for Wan Zi Qianhong, all of them are closed and sold, and most of the money is shipped to Wuzhou.

After reading the roster in his hand, Li Xun said in surprise: "Ziwen, your action is a little too big, right?" ”

Sima Tu asked, "Does the lord have great ambitions?" ”

Li Xun nodded and said, "A manly man, he should have created a great career." ”

Sima Tu Zhengse said: "In life, there is something to do, there is something to do, since the lord wants to create a great career, how can he ignore his reputation?" Throughout the Manchu Dynasty, Li Zhong, Yang Daosi, Liu Zhigu and other famous ministers, their families may also be engaged in various businesses, but they will never open casinos, do Qinglou and other lowly industries, the lord has now been classified as a party of the temperance envoy, some things, it is better to pay attention to some things. ”

Listening to Sima Tu's words, Li Xun pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, but he still said with some reluctance: "The casino Qinglou has the fastest money and the most profitable, without these businesses, how should I live in the future." ”

The imperial court gave Li Xun the establishment of 20,000 troops, in terms of money and food, the imperial court only gave thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent was solved by itself, and these are just things on Li Xun's face, secretly, Li Xun used Tuntian as a cover every year to train recruits, and after a few years, it has begun to bear fruit, if war breaks out, Li Xun can quickly gather tens of thousands of troops in a short time.

These all need money and food, Li Xun saves money every year, and Liu Xie's industry has also sent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Wuzhou in recent years, which can barely support it.

Sima Tu knew Li Xun's reluctance, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, the Beijiang Society has already taken refuge in the prince, and has also made a promise, and will go all out to develop in Longyou, with their support, is the lord still afraid that there will be no money available?" Besides, there are many kinds of business, and there are more profitable transactions than Qinglou Casino, and Beijiang will have experience in this regard, so the lord may wish to ask them for help. ”

Li Xun touched his chin, Ruan Donglang is indeed a bit interesting, he does business without capital, and the 500,000 taels of silver invested in him have been doing grain trading, almost two years, the last time Ruan Donglang came, he mentioned it once, saying that the next time they meet, they will divide it to themselves, and the number will scare me.

Li Xun doesn't think about it anymore, these are all trivial things, as long as you have the power in your hands, what business can't be done?

Thinking about the dark guard, Li Xun said: "Liu Xie's ability is still very good, I will hand over the secret guard to you to take care of, Liu Xie may already have some ideas in his heart, this time he was transferred to Wuzhou, he did not make a mistake, acting like this, I am afraid that it will chill people's hearts." ”

Sima Tu shook his head and said, "Lord, I transferred Liu Xie to Wuzhou, it is the reuse of him, staying in the capital, he will not have much future." ”

Li Xun was a little puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Sima Tu said: "Liu Xie is indeed talented, in just three years, he has developed the dark guard to this scale, which is indeed very good, but... The development of the dark guard to this realm is the end, the capital is the center of the world, but the big family, who hasn't raised some characters in the dark? Who is right and wrong, everyone knows in their hearts, the existence of the dark guard, the people who know, there are no longer few, even if it is the emperor, I am afraid that he also knows, the reason why there is no action, is that the dark guard is not strong, everyone still does not take it to heart, once the dark guard develops to a certain scale, I am afraid that it will face multiple blows, this is not something that Liu Xie or the lord can control, this is the limitation of the environment. ”

"If the dark guard wants to develop and grow, he can only go out of the capital, Longyou is a good place, and in this regard, the Beijiang Association can provide great help."

Li Xun's eyes narrowed, what Sima Tu said was indeed very reasonable, and it was impossible for him to rely on the help of the Beijiang Society forever, after all, this power did not belong to him, the two sides were only cooperating, only eternal interests, and there were no eternal friends, not his own things, after all, it was not reliable, maybe when, the Beijiang Society would leave him, it was time to prepare in advance.

At this moment, Cui'er's voice sounded outside the door.

"Sir, Madame, please take a trip."

"Got it, tell Madame, I'll be right there."

Li Xun stood up and said to Sima Tu: "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, I still trust Liu Xie more, if you have anything to say, tell him clearly, don't let people misunderstand, it's not good to be cold." ”

Sima Tu also stood up, nodded and said: "Don't worry, lord, I will make it clear to Liu Xie, if he still has complaints, then... It's a bit of a big deal. ”

"You can do it yourself, but it's better not to let Liu Xie find me to complain, otherwise.... I'm afraid you're a little useless! ”

Li Xun smiled and glanced at Sima Tu meaningfully.

Sima Tu's body shook slightly, bowed down and said, "What the lord said is that his subordinates remember." ”

Li Xun didn't say anything more and walked away. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Being a Prince in the Empire", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
