Chapter 336: Xizhou Strategy
Money is a good thing, and any dynasty and generation is a good thing.
The reason why Li Su likes money so much is precisely because he is well versed in this truth, and this truth is applicable everywhere.
The city wall should be built firmly, bluestone and bricks are indispensable, and as a lonely city placed in the center of the desert, the local products are pitiful, the bluestone and bricks necessary for building the city wall must be transported from the outside, the nearest place to take materials from Xizhou is Shazhou in Yumen Pass, Shazhou is very close to the Qilian Mountains, and bluestone and bricks have ways to get it.
However, these all need money, who will transport you if you don't have money? Who burned bricks and pry stones for you? Not to mention how to repair the city wall, just the transportation from Shazhou to Xizhou for eight or nine hundred miles is a very huge project, so this major event related to the life and death of Xizhou and Li Su himself, in the final analysis, the key is money.
After Li Suyi's explanation, Jiang Quan understood.
Understanding does not mean agreeing, Jiang Quan pondered for a long time and shook his head.
“…… It's hard, it's hard to climb to the sky. ”
Li Su smiled: "What's the difficulty? ”
"Xizhou is barren, the population is only one or two thousand, the taxes collected must be handed over to the state treasury, and the remaining money is estimated to barely be able to support the military expenses of the officials of the Assassin Mansion and the two Zhechong Mansions, where can I spare money to repair the city wall?"
Li Su smiled more and more kindly: "I heard that you are from Guanzhong, and your family is quite solid, what should you do if you fall in love with something you particularly like when you were a child, and you don't have the money to buy it?" ”
Jiang Quan paused for a moment and said, "Regardless of my father's money......
Li Su nodded: "By the way, the reason is the same, I am an official of the Tang Dynasty, and of course I have to take care of the court when I am short of money." ”
"Then it's even more impossible, didn't Cao Tingshi say that he handed over more than a dozen notes to Chang'an every year, and asked the court for money, food and soldiers. Every piece of music is sunk into the sea, there is no news, and the history of a state is still like this, and it is even more difficult for Li Don't drive you to manage the court and ask for money. ”
Li Su said lightly: "Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and Cao Tingshi can't do things." Not necessarily, I can't do it. Besides, repairing the city wall of Xizhou is a big project, and the money and grain allocated by the imperial court are definitely not enough, and I have to come up with other ways to change this city like cow dung in the desert......"
Jiang Quan was stunned: "What has become?" Pearls in the desert? ”
Li Su smiled: "It's not so literary, at most it will become a lump of fragrant cow dung, and I will be satisfied." ”
***************************************************************
It's a huge project, and it's an extremely difficult one, and everything has to be started from scratch.
Li Su returned to the tent. Sitting cross-legged in front of the low desk, twisting his eyebrows and pondering, for a long time, he picked up the pen and wrote hard.
Time passed quickly, the sun was sinking in the west, and the light in the tent was gradually dimming, Xu Mingzhu opened the curtain and came in quietly, and saw that her husband was writing selflessly, Xu Mingzhu quietly lit two lamps on the low case. Li Su still didn't even raise his head, and Xu Mingzhu withdrew from the tent with interest. Sitting on the ground at the door, holding incense cheeks in his hand and quietly guarding, his eyes looking up at the stars in the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, hooking a moving arc.
Although I don't know what my husband is writing, my husband is a big official. What he wrote must be very important, maybe the court is waiting for him to help him with this thing, and the people are looking forward to this thing to save them from the fire and water, well, it must be so.
Come to think of it. Xu Mingzhu's waist unconsciously straightened a lot, and her pretty face seemed to be full of holy brilliance, as if she had become one of the heroes who saved the country and the people, and a pair of watery apricot eyes stared at the soldiers who were patrolling back and forth in front of the handsome tent very seriously.
After being alone for a long time, it is inevitable that there are some cranky thoughts in his head, Xu Mingzhu sat alone at the door, unconsciously letting his thoughts diverge and drift away.
…… It's been half a year since he got married, and his husband hasn't had any intention of having sex with him, he's ...... Do you really like the princess who is a monk?
Before marrying the Li family, Xu Mingzhu heard a lot of rumors about her husband, among these rumors, the most wonderful by the common people was naturally his ambiguous affair with the ninth daughter of the emperor, Princess Dongyang, for the princess Dongyang, he dared to be the palace and His Majesty the emperor collided, he dared to risk the disapproval of the world just to marry the princess, and even, she had heard of the big kite that once flew over the princess's mansion......
He was for the princess...... He has done a lot of things, every one of them is so thrilling, his heart must be full of princesses, and he has been married for half a year, and in this half a year, his heart is ...... Have you ever made room for her to put her properly?
Maybe not, otherwise why hasn't he had sex with him for half a year......
The more she thought about it, the more messy it became, Xu Mingzhu's pretty face collapsed, and she covered her face very dejectedly.
***************************************************************
Stepping on the brilliant brilliance of the rising sun, Li Su led Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou and walked into Xizhou City proudly.
Li Su's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night, but his eyes were still clear.
Wang Zhu rode on the back of a camel, yawning sleepily, and his lazy appearance was quite Li Su's charm.
Zheng Xiaolou still takes the cold route, whenever he sees him, he always has a straight face like collecting debts, even Li Su thinks this face is too cool, so cool that Li Su can't help but take the initiative to talk to him a few words, for fear that he will suffocate his bad breath and affect his hygiene. Zheng Xiaolou often only replied to Li Su in ten sentences, and after talking too much, he threw an impatient look at him without any scruples......
"Li Su, you didn't sleep all night last night, what are you busy with?" Wang Zhu asked with a yawn.
"I'm busy writing the Xizhou strategy."
Wang Zhu was at a loss: "What...... Strategy? ”
"Strategy, that is, views and suggestions on the governance and development of a country or a city, agriculture, merchants, government soldiers, taxes, and ......so on."
Wang Zhu's eyes were straight, and he soon showed an inexplicable look of worship, although he didn't know, but he felt great, and Zheng Xiaolou, who was cold next to him, was also quite moved, and unconsciously straightened up on the back of the camel, as if even the two of them were associated with sacred things such as benefiting the country and the people, and instantly had a sense of mission and honor.
"Don't be hypocritical, hurry up and get back to your original form, my writing strategy has nothing to do with you." Li Su lazily interrupted the two of them's hallucinations, instantly picked them up from the clouds, and ruthlessly threw them into the mortal dust.
Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou's figures suddenly collapsed, and Li Su clearly saw a white light flashing above their heads, showing that the protagonist released a taunt skill, the protagonist's Shu Shuang value increased by five, the ruling value decreased by five, and the loyalty value of the two guards decreased by five......
"Of course, I was able to write this strategy because of the faithful servants of the two of you, and you also have a part of the credit for this strategy......," Li Su added slowly.
Wang Zhu and Zheng Xiaolou's waists gradually straightened again, white light continued to flicker above their heads, various data values increased, and their faces continued to be filled with that inexplicable sense of sacred mission.
Tut!
Li Su pursed his lips, okay, let them do it.
…………
…………
Xizhou Thorn Mansion.
Cao Yu was quite surprised by Li Su's arrival again, and walked out of the front hall wearing a very casual thin silk shirt.
The guests and hosts sat down separately, and it was another long and boring greeting nonsense.
Taking advantage of Cao Yu's nonsense, when he was silent, racking his brains to search his stomach for the next nonsense topic, Li Su hurriedly got down to business.
Cao Yu took the stack of thick paper handed over by Li Su in surprise, and the paper was full of small characters.
"Good word! What a smart flying white! Cao Yu didn't read the content, just looking at the handwriting was a blurt of praise.
"The words are too ugly, Cao Thorn Shi praised it." Li Su is very modest and hypocritical.
Then, Cao Yu saw the contents of the paper.
"Xizhou strategy?" Cao Yu frowned, glanced at it a few times, and suddenly looked a little embarrassed: "...... The age is coming, some old eyes are dizzy, and it is a little hard to see, Li Beijia is not surprised, why don't you ask Li Beijia to talk about this strategy in person, how about it? ”
"As Cao Tingshi said, the situation in Xizhou is critical, coveted by many neighboring countries, if we want to protect Xizhou, we must come up with the charter, so Xia Guan stayed up all night last night, and wrote this strategy, which are some superficial views of Xia Guan."
Cao Yu seemed to be interested, and said with a smile: "Why is it not lost to protect Xizhou?" ”
After Li Su organized the wording, he said: "The subordinate officials write cumbersomely, if it is simply put, it is nothing more than a few key points, attracting investment, accumulating grain, opening the market, collecting people, recruiting workers, building walls, training troops, and recruiting township troops. ”
