Chapter 103: Li Xin in the Southwest (1)
Li Xin, who is in the southwest, is now busy with his hands and feet, this guy does have two strokes, and he is worthy of being Li Zicheng's right-hand man in his previous life, and he is the most talented and sober-minded subordinate. Since Zhu Youxiao left him in Sichuan and Guizhou to assist Wang Sanshan to pacify the local people, this guy has been working day and night. And it was Sichuan and Guizhou running on both sides, and later Zhu Youxiao also felt that such a name was not right, so Shuangdang gave him the title of governor of Sichuan and Guizhou. In this way, Li Xin became the youngest governor of the two provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and what is even more surprising is that Li Xin really met the red lady, but I don't know if it is the red lady in "Li Zicheng".
Speaking of this is also quite interesting, Li Xin played toast in Sichuan and Guizhou, and divided the fields into a storm, everyone knew that the emperor sent a good official, but Li Xin was a good official, and he didn't know what kind of official Li Xin was, but whether Wang Sanshan or the prince of Shu was very polite to him, but Li Xin knew very well that he was a clerical position of Sun Chengzong, and he was not an official, just an official, so he usually brought three or two guards when he went out, and he didn't dare to make a big show.
One day in March of the third year of the Apocalypse, Li Xin took two retinues to discuss things with the King of Shu in Sichuan, originally Li Xin felt that the rebellion had been quelled for a few months, and the road should be very calm, so he didn't feel any danger at all, and took two people on the road at will. However, at the junction of Guizhou and Sichuan, these places belong to the high mountains and the emperor is far away, and there are still many places where the mountains are closed, and there are still some places where bandits rob the road. Li Xin happened to meet these bandits, when Li Xin walked to a place called Yaolong Mountain, suddenly a group of people came down from the mountain, and the leader was a beautiful woman, so they tied up Li Xin and took them to the Juyi Hall on the mountain, saying that it was the Juyi Hall, but in fact it was three tiled houses.
Li Xin wondered that this room was full of women, not even a man, Li Xin felt strange, and he met a wave of female bandits, and the female bandits were also bandits, but the land outside was already divided, and they didn't go to live as a family, so why should they be bandits here? Comrade Li Xin, who was accustomed to political and ideological work, began to struggle with his brains.
"Tell me, where are you from? What kind of business does the family have? Just when Li Xin was thinking about it, someone spoke.
"Ahh Ask me? Li Xin replied, "I'm not in business, I'm a student, oh, now it's a lifter, helping others copy books, spreading words, a poor person, nothing." ”
"Nonsense, look at your well-dressed clothes and two servants, you are still poor, oh, you are still a lifter? Are you still an official? There is no good person like you. Come on, cut him directly! The woman in the lead didn't say anything else, she was going to kill someone.
Li Xin was startled, if he was cut down for no reason, it would be really unjust, "Hey, hey." Li Xin shouted, "Why did you cut me down, I am a good person." ”
"Good guys? There is no good person like you, in the fish and meat township, robbing men and women, doing all kinds of evil, he would have died a long time ago and killed. The woman didn't believe that Li Xin was a good person at all.
This is Xiucai meeting soldiers, and it is unreasonable. Li Xin said, "You can tell me. Why do people like me have to be killed? Let me be a ghost, okay? ”
"Got the hell, okay." The woman said, "It turns out that my father and I are from a peasant family, and it is the master of the village who colluded with the officials in the government to occupy my family's land in order to occupy my family's land, forcing my family to die, and the county order also wants to occupy me as a concubine. What do you think? Do you think you deserve to die? ”
Li Xin said: "That's them damned, not me." Let me tell you the truth, my name is Li Xin, I am a disciple of Lord Sun Chengzong, and I followed him to Sichuangui to quell the rebellion, beat the toast, and divided the fields. If you really have grievances, I can help you fight a lawsuit and help you get revenge. Now, go ten villages from here, and ask each of your men to ask the poorest of the poorest people, and if there are more than three of them, you will kill me. If there are no more than three, I will help you take revenge and kill the man who occupied your land? You don't have to do this here as a girl, how about going home with your sisters and finding a wishful home to live a good life? ”
Sure enough, the woman sent her subordinates to inquire about more than 30 villages to the west, and there was really no one who said that Li Xin should be killed, and the fields and grain were divided. Life is going to be better, especially those people from the Tusi family, who all praised Li Xin with a thumbs up, and even asked if they were kissing.
So the woman decided to let Li Xin go, and in order to help her get justice, Li Xin took her to Qin Liangyu, and Qin Liangyu helped her take revenge.
Good things have reached Sun Chengzong, this is a teacher, can you not report the news? Zhu Youxiao also knew, thinking that Li Xin also had a great contribution to quelling the rebellion, and wanted to see how capable this guy was, so he discussed with Sun Chengzong and asked Li Xin to run the three places of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, and then the holy decree and Sun Chengzong's calligraphy and painting went to Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, Li Xin also has no family, Zhu Zhishu is the man's parent, Qin Liangyu is of course the woman's parent, so that the two have become husband and wife. Zhu Youxiao later wrote a limerick poem to abuse them, which wrote: Li Xin went out to see yin and yang, and he was robbed halfway by the mandarin duck. Then there are women as big matchmakers, and they worship the flower hall happily. The husband and wife looked at this limerick, crying and laughing, it was indecent to hang it, and it was a holy decree not to hang it. Li Xin is still smart, hanging in the inner room, others can't see it, but it can be regarded as hanging, and he didn't take the holy decree seriously, which has become a good story in later generations.
However, it was said that Li Xin was blessed by misfortune and became the governor of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, so he worked even harder, and the three provinces ran back and forth. In addition, Niu Jinxing's Daming Royal Trading Company has now opened in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan region, and the political envoys of the three provinces are desperately developing the local economy for the sake of their official reputation and reputation, and they are vigorously promoting local products from all over the country. Li Xin was the boss of the three political envoys, and tried his best to coordinate the competition between them.
That Niu Jinxing is even more of an eight-sided delicate guy, knowing that Li Xin is the emperor's senior brother and Sun Chengzong's disciple, he is also very flattering, and tries his best to help Li Xin mobilize goods and raise funds. There is also what later generations called "on the project", Niu Venus has money! So with the help of the royal Tenglong Bank loan, the establishment of several factories and the opening of several mines became a place where Li Xin worked hard. Especially last autumn, when Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, came back with the "iron bull", Niu Jinxing recruited Li Xin to look for ore and make iron in Yunnan-Guichuan, hire technicians from Daming Institute of Technology, and establish government-run factories and mines, which is very simple, that is, joint-stock enterprises, no matter who holds the shares, the government departments only send supervisors to watch the property, and it is an annual change of supervisors, an audit every year, and every business is based on bills to ensure the safety of the government's property.
In addition to these things, Li Xin also has one thing that he has done very beautifully, that is, the transformation of the Tusi, because during the rebellion of the Luxury Chongming, a large number of Tusi were killed, leaving countless ownerless fields, and Li Xin distributed these fields to the ordinary people, which means that the hearts of the people here have completely fallen to the imperial court, and ordinary people can have a full meal. Li Xin's next work was to implement this policy to the farther Sichuan-Tibet region, which of course caused dissatisfaction among the top leaders of Wusizang, Li Xin did not care whether they wanted it or not, but only used the students of the Sichuan branch of the Ming Officials Academy to do the most basic work, if the Tusi did not cooperate, Li Xin directly recruited their serfs or slaves to immigrate to places where the land could be divided, or directly let them go to work in newly built factories and mines, in short, no one was left.
Li Xin's policy angered the high-level leaders in the vicinity of the Sichuan-Tibet region, and they began to dispatch troops to suppress the fleeing serfs, and Li Xin organized the militia to begin a counterattack, and then mobilized his 2,000 musketeers to cooperate, and as a result, the power of the Ming Dynasty was immediately extended to the core area of Wusizang. Seeing that the clansmen who were also serfs had become free peasants, even the army of Uszang was also divided, and even became the vanguard of Li Xin's march into Uszang. Seeing this situation, Li Xin's heart became even more hot, so he selected some bitter and bitter people from the serfs to organize them into a militia in charge of the division of land again, and continued to develop into the depths of Wusizang, and finally forced the high-level of Wusizang to send a message of peace talks to the imperial court.
