Chapter 1434: Wooing

As the saying goes, no business is not treacherous, no treachery is no business!

In fact, in the political arena, why is it not the same?

People are not rich without windfalls, and horses are not fertile without night grass!

There is danger to be organic, and there is a chestnut in the fire, all of which describe making a windfall, and you must not take the usual path!

Liu Wenshan, an old bureaucrat, vigorously advocated mercantilism in Huazhou and achieved certain results.

Regardless of whether Liu Wenshan is really admired or falsely admired, in short, what Li Zhongyi wants is the result of business prosperity, and there is no need to examine his true intentions.

Therefore, after chatting with Liu Wenshan, Li Zhongyi quickly made a decision that he must reuse Liu Wenshan!

One is that Liu Wenshan has no backer, and the other is that Liu Wenshan is indeed a follower who can do things, with these two foundations, it is enough for Li Zhongyi to reuse his foundation.

Li Zhongyi has reason to believe that as long as he promotes Liu Wenshan, then he will become Liu Wenshan's hardest backer.

Liu Wenshan's head, as long as he didn't clamp the door, would definitely keep hugging Li Zhongyi's thigh, instead of looking for another backer.

"How much iron is produced in Huazhou?" Since Li Zhongyi had the idea of reusing Liu Wenshan, he naturally asked more carefully.

Liu Wenshan thought about it carefully, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the pig iron output of Huazhou last year has obtained a relatively large harvest, which is as much as 1.2 million catties. ”

Li Zhongyi was slightly taken aback, just a state and a state, Huazhou actually produced 1.2 million catties of iron, what an astonishing number?

"Why?" Li Zhongyi attaches great importance to the production of steel, and he must break the casserole to get to the end.

"Your Majesty, the minister reused a craftsman, the craftsman's surname is Sun, his name is Guang, and he is especially good at iron-making......" Liu Wenshan's explanation made Li Zhongyi very happy.

As a Zhizhou, Liu Wenshan not only did not despise craftsmen, but reused craftsmen and created major achievements in ironmaking.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, which is very consistent with his development strategy of no work and no strength.

The world is so big, there are many kinds of talents, but the question is, how to find out these special talents from the recklessness?

This has always been a big problem that has plagued Li Zhongyi!

If you want to develop industry, iron and steel metallurgical technical personnel, it is simply the more the merrier, the more the merrier!

The more Li Zhongyi and Liu Wenjiao talked, the more speculative they became, and the more they talked, the more flavorful they became, so much so that the entire summoning process lasted for two hours.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Han Xianglan walked lightly in front of Li Zhongyi and reminded him in a low voice that it was time for dinner.

Li Zhongyi nodded and ordered: "I want to leave Liu Zhizhou to eat together, prepare a few more good dishes, by the way, and wine!" ”

After Liu Wenshan heard this, he was very moved in his heart, he was not a fool, the emperor Lao Tzu chatted with him for a few hours, obviously he valued it, he couldn't even see this.

Now, the emperor personally left Liu Wenshan to dine together, which is a great grace, and Liu Wenshan's heart will inevitably make waves.

For more than 20 years, Liu Wenshan has been immersed in the ranks of Zhizhou, either as a Zhizhou in A or transferred to B as a taishou, and has never been able to get the appreciation and promotion of his boss.

Now, Li Zhongyi obviously exudes an attitude of appreciation and reuse, how can Liu Wenshan not like it?

During the meal, Liu Wenshan was shocked to find that Han Xianglan actually held the pot and poured wine, and he couldn't help but be moved to tears.

"The emperor is so gracious, the ministers have nothing to repay, they are willing to be pawns of the horse, they will not hesitate to die!" Liu Wenzhi left the table and bowed to the ground, sobbing to express his sincere loyalty.

This Liu Wenshan has never been backed by a mountain, Li Zhongyi appreciates him so much, how can he not feel it?

Li Zhongyi personally helped Liu Wenshan up, and said with a smile: "I am more pragmatic, I have always not listened to slogans, and only looked at actual actions. ”

Liu Wenshan replied: "If the emperor has an order, the ministers will be willing to do whatever they want." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, a Wenchen like Liu Wenshan, who has no backing in the court, has always been a chess piece in his pocket.

This time he passed through so many states and counties on the way, Li Zhongyi just landed in Huazhou to hang out, was it a temporary idea?

Grasp the power of the country, the core of the core, the key of the key points, in fact, in the key positions, there are their own people who obey their words.

Under the institutional environment of the Celestial Empire, no matter how high the position is, without a group of their own people to help wave the flag and shout, it is just an empty shelf!

Today's Li Zhongyi has already firmly grasped the military power and police power, but in terms of political power, he can only be forced to choose to cooperate with the ministers.

The Wenchen Group has never been synchronized with Li Zhongyi, and because of their interests, after Li Zhongyi took power, it was greatly impacted.

The first thing is that the monopoly of Confucianism in the imperial examination has been greatly weakened by Li Zhongyi's various small actions of attaching importance to miscellaneous subjects.

Secondly, it is the system of separation of powers and checks and balances between civil and military affairs, which abolishes the practice of civil ministers in charge of the army, so that the status of military ministers is at least not weaker than that of civil ministers.

Politics is actually a science of compromise of interests!

Li Zhongyi's strong political reform has touched the long-term interests of the Wenchen Group, and there will naturally be a strong backlash.

Literati could neither carry knives nor guns, but they could use the pen in their hands to smear Li Zhongyi.

The barrel of the gun and the barrel of the pen, these two poles are actually indispensable!

At present, Li Zhongyi is holding a gun in his hand, but he lacks the capable ministers and henchmen who can master the pen.

Based on political realities, Li Zhongyi chose to divide and disintegrate the old Wenchen group and gradually form a new Wenchen group.

Winning over Liu Wenshan is only a new beginning for Li Zhongyi to divide the Wenchen Group, and it cannot be the end. Because, Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that as long as he continued to toss, the scholars would continue to oppose him until one side was completely lost.

After waiting for the dishes to be served, Liu Wenshan suddenly found that Li Zhongyi's imperial meal, counting the added dishes, was only nine dishes in total.

"Your Majesty, don't be too harsh on yourself." Liu Wenzhi shook himself to the ground and persuaded hard.

In Li Zhongyi's view, although Liu Wenshan has four points of artificiality, he has six points of true feelings.

"I have three meals a day, at least a dozen categories, including meat, fish and vegetables, which are healthy and full, and I am enough." Li Zhongyi is not cheating, the so-called imperial food in his past, in most cases, is just four dishes and one soup.

To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi has an extremely deep understanding and hatred for extravagant and wasteful eating and drinking!

More importantly, Li Zhongyi's attention is mainly focused on grasping power and collecting stunning colors, which is a typical beauty lover and a political strongman who loves the country even more.

In the Celestial Empire, under normal circumstances, the founding monarchs advocated frugality and opposed extravagance, and Li Zhongyi was the same!
