As one of the top ten families, Li Jiaken married the second daughter to Jiang Anyi as a concubine is to value Jiang Anyi's future, Zhang Keji once said frankly that this is a matter of two benefits, so that Jiang Anyi must visit the Li family when he enters Beijing, and strengthen the emotional contact between them.

Relatives and relatives, there is family affection when there are contacts, Tong'er and Dong'er are both born in the Li family, Jiang An is righteous and reasonable, and not only Mr. Zhang, Fan Shi also suggested that he find a trustworthy person in the Li family to be a staff member, and he can count them in one fell swoop and get the best of both worlds.

Jiang Anyi said through Li Mingxing's words: "My father-in-law's kindness and son-in-law are ashamed, and An Yi will definitely treat the Li family well." ”

Li Mingxing was very happy to successfully complete the things entrusted by the eldest brother, and said with a smile: "Since these people are handed over to you and Tong'er, you just regard them as your own family, and punish them at will, and things like Aunt Xia will not happen again." When the matter of Xiagu reached the Li family, Li Mingde recalled her, and wrote a letter to Jiang Anyi and Tong'er to apologize, and wrote to the Li clan in Huazhou to obey the arrangement and not to make claims without permission.

Li Mingxing's statement made Jiang Anyi's heart feel relieved, the matter of Aunt Xia did give him a headache back then, but fortunately, Tong'er firmly supported him, so he did not have a big conflict with the Li family, and later Aunt Xia was recalled, and the Li Wang family who took over was low-key and modest, and the Li family gradually gained a firm foothold in Huazhou.

Affection is still exchanged, Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "The son-in-law came to the Li family this time, and he asked for something. The son-in-law was transferred from Huazhou to the capital this time, and most of the former subordinates stayed in Huiye Mansion, so there was a lack of people around to give advice, and the Li family was full of talents, so the son-in-law cheekily asked for one or two talented people to help me deal with daily affairs. ”

This is an unexpected surprise, it is exactly what Li Mingde hopes to achieve, and he is going to formally propose it to Jiang Anyi tomorrow, but he didn't expect Jiang Anyi to take the initiative to propose, which really made Li Mingxing a little overjoyed. Also feeling happy is Li Dongxing on the side, his brother-in-law wants to bring people into Beijing, this good opportunity is, of course, to get close to the water and find himself.

Li Dongxing coughed softly, and almost opened his mouth to remind his father to recommend himself, but Li Mingxing knew his son's virtue, and this matter was related to the future cooperation and integration of the Li family and Jiang Anyi, and he would definitely have to discuss it with the patriarch before making plans.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mingxing said: "The Li family can't ask for this matter, I will make it clear to the patriarch, and gather the sages in the clan early tomorrow morning, and let An Yi choose the right person by himself." Li Dongxing was a little discouraged, this self-knowledge is still there, if the clan gathers talented people, how can he be ranked.

After dinner, Li Mingxing went to Jishantang in person, and the lights of Jishantang were lit until the second watch. After breakfast the next day, Jiang Anyi followed Li Mingxing to Jishan Hall again, and found that the hall was full of chairs, full of more than 50 people, all of whom were young and strong in their twenties and forty years old.

On the way here, Jiang Anyi listened to Li Mingxing's introduction, and the people who came to the election today have the fame of showing off their talents, and there are more than ten people who are even lifting people, studying at home to prepare for the exam, counting the foreign officials, scholars, and people, Jiang Anyi's heart is secretly shocked that the family background is amazing, compared to the Jiang family, in addition to their own brothers, most of the clansmen are farmers, and some people have begun to study and make progress in recent years, but if you want to achieve the Li family's background, it is impossible to operate without three or four generations.

Today, Jiang Anyi was the host and guest, and he was placed on Li Mingde's side, looking at him from both sides

The children of the Li family swept over their bodies, and their eyes were full of excited faces. Ten cold windows may not be in the middle, in addition to the top three other people in most of the foreign officials, from the eighth or ninth grade of the petty officials, to do the seventh grade of the county order for more than ten years, and with Jiang Anyi's side, Xiucai has his guidance will be able to lift people, and the people themselves have merit and fame with his help to be able to become officials.

Becoming Jiang Anyi's subordinates, he naturally has the opportunity to get acquainted with all the big officials in Beijing, and even meet His Royal Highness the Prince, with these capitals, his career will definitely be smooth. Take 10,000 steps back and say, Jiang Anyi is famous in Shilin, and he will become a famous scholar in Shilin as soon as he becomes his bureaucracy, even if he has no intention of officialdom, there will be countless people who follow Fengying and enjoy another scenery when he loves the landscape and travels leisurely in the forest.

Li Dongxing sat depressedly in the lower left corner, why did his father take out such a good opportunity to give it to everyone, when he paid dividends at the end of the year, he lost one or two pieces of silver, and each house was fighting like black-eyed chickens, why didn't he see them "focusing on the overall situation" and "focusing on the family".

After a few brief words, Li Mingde handed over the topic to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi said a few opening remarks modestly, claiming that he was not highly educated, shallow in knowledge, and poorly considered in handling affairs, so he wanted to ask two talented people to help him, and often gave advice and advice.

Unhurriedly fiddling with the tea cup in his hand, Li Mingde looked at the clansmen on both sides, and found that many people nodded frequently, and it seemed that Jiang Anyi's kind words were taken seriously. Li Mingde secretly sighed, Jiang Anyi has been in charge since he was in his twenties, and Huazhou is thriving under his governance, if such a person is shallow and inconsiderate, a few of the people here, including himself, can say that they are more clever than Jiang Anyi, and it is not easy to become his staff.

After the polite words, Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Jiang Mou went to Linhua County on an errand at the order of the Son of Heaven this time, which coincided with the thieves coercing the victims to make a rebellion, and the government was powerless in the face of the rebellion, so Jiang wanted to play a script to the Son of Heaven, allowing the counties to gather the people to practice, protect the township and the people on weekdays, catch thieves and prevent theft, and in case of change, work with the officers and soldiers to resist the enemy, so that the local government has the power to respond." ”

This time he went home to visit relatives, Jiang Anyi and Zhang Keji discussed the bandits in Xingling County and Linhua County, and the local government only relied on officials to maintain order, and Jiang Anyi was worried about the helplessness in the face of chaos. Originally, he was going to show the Son of Heaven after returning to Beijing, but today in order to recruit staff, Jiang Anyi had an idea and threw it out as a question for the assessment.

"Jiang would like to ask you to draft a letter of "Please Build a League to Practice Shu", to the Son of Heaven to state the key points, please set up a state and county regiment training envoy, the state regiment training envoy by the assassin Shi concurrently, the deputy is the state Sima, the county regiment training envoy is concurrently served by the county order, the county lieutenant is the deputy, 100 people in the upper county, 80 in the middle county, 60 people in the lower county, set up the post of the general manager and the chief of the training, and the local squire with high moral standing serves as the general and chief of the training, and the general and long of the training are fictitious titles, and the official rank is set by the court.

Jiang Anyi's words caused a "buzzing" discussion, Li Mingde put down the teacup, coughed lightly and said: "Don't talk about it, listen to Anyi first." ”

The house was quiet, Li Mingde pondered Jiang Anyi's words, he understood the disaster in Duanzhou, if it didn't happen to coincide with the Andong Protector's army crossing the river to rescue, Linhua County would definitely fall into the hands of thieves, Linhua County is a large county in the south of the Yangtze River, with developed water and land transportation.

Tibetan soldiers are in the people, and there are many masters among the people, Jiang Anyi's recital can solve the urgent needs of the court, according to what he said

, Twenty-seven prefectures of Dazheng, 1,939 county seats, the court only needs to give less than 4,000 nine grades of false positions to raise 200,000 regimental training, the quality of these regimental training in Li Mingde's opinion will only be above the government soldiers, this book handed over to the Son of Heaven will definitely agree. It's just that the food, training, clothing, and so on of 200,000 people are not a small amount, and who will pay for the cost of raising the soldiers?

"Although the regimental training belongs to the township soldiers, it is natural for the soldiers to eat food, and Jiang suggested that the local government and the capable squires negotiate and raise it, after all, it is beneficial to the villagers to protect the territory and the people, catch thieves and prevent theft, and the squires are important to the locality, and it is the responsibility to share the worries of the country and appease the locality, and the regimental training should contribute money and efforts." Jiang Anyi said.

Li Mingde's heart moved, Anqi County is a county, according to Jiang Anyi's performance, a group can be set up to train a hundred people, even if the cost of 100 taels of silver is calculated by 10 taels of 121 people, if the Li family wins the quota of these 100 group training, it will justifiably raise 100 private soldiers, and it can also add two nine-grade officials to the family, even if you don't want a penny from the court, there are countless squires competing for it, and the local government not only does not have to spend money, but even the county lord has income.

In addition to giving advice, the staff also has to handle official affairs for him, and drafting documents and recitals is one of them. Li Mingde was prepared in advance, a servant sent pen and paper, fifty-four people in the hall, all of them worked hard to write, and those who could take the exam in the hall were all people who read poetry and books. The sound of "rustling" in the hall sounded, like spring silkworms devouring mulberries, and Jiang Anyi's ears were extremely comfortable.

Approaching to be free, Li Mingde whispered to Jiang Anyi: "Anyi's recital is aimed at the disadvantages of the times and to the point, and the Son of Heaven will definitely play it after seeing it." This letter "Please Build a Group and Practice Shu" may be included in the history books, the old man can experience this matter, it is a great honor, maybe today's events will also be brought in the history books, the Li family is very fortunate. ”

Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "The Li family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the matter of group training should not be allowed, and after the Son of Heaven agrees to "Please Build a Group and Practice Shu", Mingde Gong may wish to use Ming Xinggong to soothe the Son of Heaven, contribute money and efforts, and share worries for the country. Li Mingde nodded with his beard, the Li family has been silent in the court for too long, it should make a noise, otherwise the world will think that the Li family has declined.

In less than a pillar of incense, someone actually finished writing. Jiang Anyi saw that this person was thirty-five or sixteen years old, his face was haggard, and the green shirt on his body was old, which was different from the brightly dressed Li Jiazi. Jiang Anyi remembered the scene when he met Li Dongfeng and Li Shicheng in Zechang Academy, and sighed in his heart that there were also rich and poor people in the family, and the difference between the branch and the branch was not small, and after taking a few pieces of paper, Jiang Anyi nodded at this person with a smile.

"This son's name is Li Donghong, and he is a rare talent among the Dongzi generation of our clan." Li Mingde introduced softly, and sighed softly when he wanted to speak. Jiang Anyi saw Li Mingde's expression gloomy, as if there was something unspeakable, it seems that this Li Donghong is a person with a story.

"Please Build a Group and Practice Shu" in his hand is only more than 400 words, the narrative is clear and organized, Jiang Anyi nodded again and again, this piece is just to let himself write it, Li Donghong can write it in a moment, and every word is fine, he really deserves the reputation of Li Mingde's "rare talent".

When he saw that "the local squire is familiar with the local terrain and local people's conditions, the regimental training and the government are united, the soldiers are able to fight, and the people can hold on, which is really a good strategy for the court to pacify the locality", Jiang Anyi clapped his hands in his heart, and had already selected Li Donghong.
