Xue Ping and the others had a public gathering, and they didn't hide what Li Ze meant, Li Ze naturally didn't care about what small actions they made behind their backs, in fact, they didn't have to think too much, they could guess what Xue Ping was thinking about now and what they were going to do next.

For Li Ze, these are small things. And what he is paying attention to right now, in his opinion, is much more difficult than dealing with Xue Ping and others.

At this moment, Li Ze was outside Luzhou City, and there were only two people accompanying him, one was Yang Kai, the vice president of the Yixing Society, and the other was Yao Jing, who had just been transferred from Wuyi County to Luzhou and was preparing to serve as the assassin of Luzhou.

The position of Wuyi County is recognized as a whetstone, and it is also a springboard for the promotion of officials, as long as you sit in this position and do not make any mistakes for a few years, then you will inevitably be a big member of the party.

Cheng Wei is like this, and Yao Jing is naturally the same.

The place where they are stepping on now was originally a large area of fertile land, but in the war, it became a battlefield. The crops that were originally growing very well have long ceased to exist at this moment, and after walking well, Li Ze finally saw a small piece of land about a dozen steps away, squatted down, and stroked these crops, Li Ze looked up at Yao Jing and said: "This year's harvest in Luzhou is certain, and in some places, there is even no harvest!" ”

Yao Jing nodded: "Yes, Taifu, I have already asked people to go down to count, and now they have begun to pay off one after another, and it is roughly estimated that the shortage of grain in Luzhou this year is about more than sixty percent." ”

"Grain, food!" Li Ze scratched his head with some distress, not only Luzhou is short of grain, but the entire Zhaoyi area is short of food. But Wuwei Festival Town, the original accumulated grain has already been consumed, the rest of the rest, but it is easy not to move, the grain reserves, related to the foundation of the entire Wuwei ruling area, if there is no corresponding grain in the warehouse, it will immediately cause prices to soar, and even some unpredictable chaos.

But this problem is obviously not something that Yao Jing can solve.

"It's July, and we can still grow something else to alleviate the food shortage." Li Ze said: "For the rest, I'll figure it out." ”

Yao Jing nodded excitedly: "With Taifu's words, I can rest assured, only with food, we can still do a lot of things in the remaining half a year, at least to lay a good foundation for next year." ”

"Yes, the war in Luzhou is the most tragic, and the losses are the most serious, not only the problem of food, but also the loss of people. There are a lot of people who died because of the war and fled the famine, are the statistics on this area out? Li Ze asked.

"The data in this area is also being counted, the whole state has not yet come out, but the one near Luzhou has already come out, and the population has decreased by about one-third, and the more serious thing is that these one-thirds are all young and strong." Yao Jing sighed: "There is not enough food, and there are fewer people who can do things." ”

"Yang Kai, in this regard, you have to play the role of the Yixing Society." Li Ze looked at Yang Kai and said, "Now that there are more than 100,000 soldiers concentrated in Zhaoyi, how many people are there in the Yixing Society?" ”

"Taifu, there are about 3,000 full members, and the other reserve members are about more than 10,000." Yang Kai thought for a moment and said.

"Mobilize some of them to stay and help Yao Jianshi stabilize the situation in Luzhou, and at the same time carry out the work in Luzhou more smoothly." Li Zedao.

"That's very good." Yao Jing was overjoyed: "I'm worried that the current officials, officials, and specific clerks in Luzhou are completely unfamiliar with our Wuwei way of doing things, and with these people joining, we can get twice the result with half the effort." Taifu, I plan to rebuild water conservancy and roads in the remaining half a year in the form of work-for-relief, so that it is not only easy to manage, but also to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and lay a good foundation for next year. ”

"These things, in Wuwei, we are all familiar with them, we have our own mature system, you can make your own decisions." Li Ze looked at Yao Jing and said: "My request is that Luzhou must be stable and restore order as soon as possible, and second, it must restore a certain vitality within a year." Yao Jing, you have to understand what I mean by transferring you to Luzhou to serve as the assassin. ”

"My subordinates know the importance of Luzhou, and they are grateful for the importance of Taifu, but they are also trembling, and they will do their best to complete the trust of Taifu, and Luzhou will become an impregnable place for us to defend the north." Yao Jing solemnly hugged his fists.

"Luzhou has an important geographical location, it is the gateway to defend Zhu Wen to the north, and it is also a springboard for us to attack Zhu Wen in the future." Li Ze looked in the direction of Chang'an and said, "So, I need a powerful Luzhou, and I need a loyal Luzhou." ”

"In a year's time, Luzhou will become a loyal follower of Taifu." Yao Jing said confidently: "President Yang, this still needs your great assistance. ”

Yang Kai stroked his beard and said, "How to appease the people and mobilize the people in the place after the war is what we are best at doing in Yixing Society. Yao Tingshi, although the city of Luzhou has been severely damaged, there are still many big dogs in the countryside, you just wait and see, our Yixing Society will prepare some food for you. It's not much, but it can solve the urgent need. ”

Li Ze smiled and said: "Luzhou Haoqiang, basically swept away, like the Xue family, I will transfer them all away, Xue Chong invited himself to Yingzhou Liu Chenglin's command, the rest of Xue Jian's strength is weak, and he can't become any climate, I give him a piece of land, and he will go to office happily." The rest, you deal with it, there will be no major problems. However, Yang Kai still has to pay attention to ways and means, and he must also treat them differently. You can't beat everyone to death with a single shot. ”

"The subordinates understand, hit a batch, pull a batch." Yang Kaidao.

Li Ze patted the dust on his hands and said, "Then that's it, Yao Jing, you are an old courtier of Wuwei, you don't need me to say anything, in a year, I will come to Luzhou again to have a look." If you don't complete your mission, then prepare to go north and suffer! ”

Yao Jing smiled and said: "I will go wherever Taifu needs me to go, whether it is in Luzhou or somewhere in the north, but before I leave, I will definitely handle the affairs of Luzhou." ”

"I like this arrogance." Li Ze laughed: "I also want to meet Pei Ju in the afternoon, he will serve as the assassin of Weizhou, you can communicate with him more in the future, this person has a very good foundation in Luoyang, and he will cooperate a lot, maybe you will have an unexpected joy." ”

Yang Kai on the side said: "Pei Ju is also a very interesting person, some people have a big party today, I heard that Pei Ju was also invited, but he refused without hesitation, this person is really worth seeing Taifu." ”

Li Ze smiled: "He is not only a smart person, but also a person who can see the general trend clearly. For the next work in Luzhou, Yao Jing and Yang Kai will discuss it more. ”

Li Ze, who returned to Luzhou City, had not had time to see Pei Ju, but first ushered in a person he had never expected, this person can be regarded as the big financier of Wuwei, Jin Mantang.

"Hahaha, no wonder the magpie was chirping in the branches early this morning, what kind of happy event did I say, it turned out that Jin Gong was here." Li Ze laughed and personally greeted the door. On the public, Jin Mantang's large investment in Wuwei back then greatly alleviated Li Ze's financial crisis, and now Jin Mantang is still his elder Li Ze. You must know that Jin Mantang's youngest son Jin Buchang's fiancée is Li Ze's half-sister Li Xin.

"The magpie is calling, I'm afraid it's also congratulating Taifu on another big victory, right?" Jin Mantang's face was full of spring breeze, and Li Ze's victory was not a huge victory for him. His precise business vision once again allows him to reap huge returns on his investment.

"Jin Gong, please."

"Taifu, please." Even though he was an elder, Jin Mantang was not so confused that he insisted on letting Li Ze go first.

When he arrived in the lobby and sat down, Li Zecai said with a smile: "Didn't Jin Gong go to the south?" Why did you suddenly arrive in Luzhou all of a sudden? This soldier is in a panic, and your target is again, how did this come about? ”

"Taifu, I'm from Haixing." Jin Mantang said with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Li Ze stood up suddenly: "Take the sea route, did Jin Gong open up this waterway?" ”

"Good luck." Jin Mantang was very happy Li Ze's shock: "Originally, I was going to send my wife's parents back to the north, but I thought that I was going to make a trip left and right, so it was better to organize a fleet and take this sea route by the way." Luckily, along the way, it was smooth sailing, only two ships and dozens of sailors were lost, and they went all the way to Haixing. Taifu, this maritime trade route, this can be regarded as a pass. ”

Li Ze excitedly walked back and forth in the house.

Now that Zhu Wen controls the land of Heluo in Guanzhong, it is equivalent to cutting off Li Ze's connection with the south in one fell swoop, but Jin Mantang's trip is equivalent to reopening the door to the south for him, and many things can be solved.

"Guess what, what is the cargo that my fleet brought this time?" Jin Mantang smiled and said authentically.

Li Ze sat down again and said happily: "You don't let me guess, I really can't think of it, as soon as you say that, I can guess it, grain, what you brought here this time must be food, right?" ”

Jin Mantang stretched out his thumb: "Taifu is really very human, in a word." The war is over, and at this moment, I think what Taifu lacks the most, I'm afraid it's food. I know that Taifu is in Wuwei, and he is guaranteed by grain reserves. Although this time it is not much, I think it will definitely have a great effect on Taifu's stability of people's hearts. ”

"Those who know me, Jin Gongye!" Li Ze laughed happily.
