"For a concubine?" Li Zicheng threw the face towel and threw it into the wooden basin, but he was thinking in his heart, Wang Xi only has this one daughter, which must be his heart's meat, why should he marry himself as a concubine? The difference between the identity of a wife and a concubine can never be erased.

Was he afraid that the Providential Army would loot his property? Want to get rich with yourself? Or do you bet on yourself?

The first two are not non-existent, but they are not too likely.

In the days when the Mandate of Heaven Army came to Wangjialou and Wangjiazhuang, in addition to distributing all the land to the people, it did not harass the local people, including large families, and publicized the laws of the Mandate of Heaven Army.

The matter of making a fortune, I have given him a complete glass production drawing, as long as the organization of manpower, can be produced at any time, making a fortune is not a problem, are you worried that you will regret it?

Li Zicheng shook his head, the biggest possibility is to bet on himself, this Wang Xi, his vision is good, he should have calculated the future of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

But he doesn't need Wang Wanyu.

In Lanzhou's Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, there are already one wife and five concubines, plus Xiaomei Xiaolan, Picturesque and other little maids, and a forbidden Song Yulian, his own women, there are more than ten.

is still the same sentence, the more women the better, to the current position, Li Zicheng is no longer short of women, but to consider the actual value of women, besides, if you need women, the big families in Lanzhou and Xining will probably rush to send their daughters over.

Wang Wanyu's appearance is good, but she is not a national beauty, and she has no emotional foundation with herself.

Among his own women, except for Tian Fen, even if it is a political marriage, they have feelings first, and then talk about marriage......

Namu Zhong represents the Chahar Mongols, in many talks with the Mandate of Heaven Army, step by step towards his own arms, before Lin Dan Khan has not completely surrendered, he needs Namu Zhong to secretly transmit some messages, and even blow some pillow wind in Lin Dan Khan's ears.

Mu Sirong was first a student of Xining Girls' School, studied in the school for three years, and officially married after graduation.

Gao Guiying, Sun Mengjie, and Chen Qiudie are not political marriages, and after getting to know them, although they may not have a beautiful wedding, they all have an emotional foundation.

This Wang Wanyu is just a one-sided relationship, Wang Xi arranged for her to pour wine, she just felt a little strange at the time, but she didn't expect Wang Xi to have such a mind, if she has the appearance of a city and a country, she can consider it.

It's a pity that Wang Wanyu didn't ......

"The Governor ......"

"Xiaomi, tell Wang Lichang that the governor of Pontus is grateful for his kindness," Li Zicheng paced to the door of the tent, lifted the rolling curtains, and glanced in the direction of Wang's house, "The governor of Pontus has a wife and concubine, and the future is uncertain, so I can't delay Miss Wang's life!" ”

He Xiaomi wants to do a good thing, besides, the Metropolitan Governor's side, now there is a lack of women to take care of him, according to his meaning, he is already willing to do it, but the Metropolitan Governor has made up his mind, but he doesn't dare to say more, "That subordinate will hunt with the Metropolitan Governor first, come back at night, and then go to the Wang's house to inform Wang Lichang......"

"No!" Li Zicheng shook his head, since he refused, he had to be decisive, don't leave a thought for Wang Xi, "Xiaomi, don't follow me into the mountain today, after breakfast, immediately go to see Wang Lichang, convey my meaning, after coming back, you don't need to go into the mountain to find me, go to Jinzhong Mountain and Pingdingshan construction sites to have a look, and supervise the progress of the construction site for me." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

He Xiaomi has always regarded the words of the Metropolitan Governor as a holy decree, since the Metropolitan Governor has ordered, he can only carry it out, but he can't follow the Metropolitan Governor's side, and he is a little disappointed.

When Li Zicheng returned to the camp with a batch of prey, He Xiaomi heard the voice and hurriedly greeted him, "Governor! ”

"Oh, Mi is back?" Li Zicheng asked the soldiers to hand over all the prey to the firefighters, turned over and entered the big tent, He Xiaomi followed behind, first made tea for Li Zicheng, and then without saying a word, Li Zicheng Li Zicheng was by Li Zicheng's side.

Li Zicheng didn't look back, and said lightly: "Xiaomi, have you seen Wang Lichang?" ”

"I have seen Wang Lichang, and his subordinates have clearly conveyed the meaning of the Metropolitan Governor to Wang Lichang," He Xiaomi said carefully: "However, Wang Lichang does not seem to be happy to ......"

"What do you mean?" Li Zicheng picked up the tea and drove the tea foam with the lid of the cup.

"The attitude of the chief of the king seems to be very resolute, and he has spoken a lot to his subordinates......"

"Leave him alone," Li Zicheng saw that the tea was very hot, so he just took a sip, "Xiaomi, Wang Lichang may not know that once Li Jibu is separated from Sichuan, we will leave Shangluo Mountain and go to Henan." ”

"Governor, do you want to tell the king?"

"No, this is a military secret," Li Zicheng said: "Although Wang Lichang supports the Heavenly Mandate Army, he is a common man after all, and he has not been in contact with the Heavenly Mandate Army for a long time, and he does not fully understand the Heavenly Mandate Army, so don't let him be implicated." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi understands that Wang Xi is a common man after all, and he does not have the sense of secrecy of a soldier, and if it is accidentally leaked out, it will definitely have an adverse impact on the eastward entry of the Mandate of Heaven Army into Henan. He bowed down and said, "Governor, ...... this matter?"

"Don't worry about him, Wang Xi understands what I mean, and he shouldn't be entangled anymore!" Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaomi, how are the fortifications on the mountain?" How long will it take to finish? ”

"Governor, my subordinates have checked the progress of the fortifications in detail today, and if it is preliminarily completed, it is estimated that it will take a month!"

Li Zicheng raised his head and said, "What is the preliminary completion?" ”

"Dadu, if you want to build strong fortifications, it will take a long time, and you will also need many young people, now you can only build simple fortifications, soldiers can be stationed on the mountain, you can store half a month's grain, you can rely on fortifications, block the official road," He Mi said: "After a month, the people will have to prepare for spring ploughing, and I am afraid that they will not be able to participate in the construction of fortifications." ”

Li Zicheng nodded, Li Jibu had already sent a message, the road in Jianchang Mansion was built very smoothly, if the other sections of the road were completed, he could also take the road section in his hand, and the time would not be too long, so he said: "Speed up the construction team, and add two hundred brothers to Admiralty tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, my subordinates will go and arrange the manpower in the evening!"

That night, the firefighters cooked all of Li Zicheng's prey for two days, and some of them stewed soup, although the portion was not much, but each soldier and strong man could get a little fresh meat, all of which were grateful to the Metropolitan Governor.

After breakfast the next day, Li Zicheng prepared to take advantage of the east wind last night to go to Jinzhong Mountain and Pingdingshan to check, but Wang Hu came over early, saw Li Zicheng, and knelt on the ground, "Governor!" ”

"Oh?" Li Zicheng waved his hand and asked Wang Hu to get up, "Now that spring plowing is about to begin, Wang Lichang is not busy helping the people to make farm tools, how can he have the leisure to come to the barracks?" ”

"The matter of farm tools is being prepared, and the governor of the capital can rest assured that when it comes to the farming season, there will be no mistakes," Wang Hu arched his hand to Li Zicheng and said, "The villain receives the trust of others...... The people of Wangjiazhuang are grateful to the Mandate of Heaven Army and the Metropolitan Governor, and the villain is brave enough to prepare a thin wine at home, and wants to invite the Metropolitan Governor to the banquet......" He took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

Li Zicheng didn't like banquets, but Wang Hu was the mayor of Wangjiazhuang and represented the people of the whole village, so he couldn't refuse, so he took the invitation, opened it and took a look, like Wang Xi's invitation last time, it was a more solemn kind.

Since Wang Hu is so cautious, Li Zicheng is not good at wiping his face, from the perspective of righteousness, he represents the people after all, "Wang Lichang is bothered." ”

"No, no, this is all a piece of the people's heart!" Wang Hu saw Li Zicheng accept the invitation, and he was overjoyed, "In this way, the villain is waiting at home at noon......

Li Zicheng naturally didn't believe that the people's homes were so poor that they were tinkling, even if they were grateful to the Heavenly Mandate Army for dividing the world for them, and wanted to feast themselves, I am afraid they would be powerless.

But everywhere the Mandate of Heaven army goes, it can't be like the rogue, serving the officials and gentry in one pot, if only the lowest class of people who can't read big characters are left, who will manage the place in the future? In the final analysis, no matter how good the policy of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion is, it must be implemented by people, and people like Wang Xi and Wang Hu are familiar with the people, and if the Mandate of Heaven Army gets their support, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

The last time we recruited strong men in the two villages, it was to get their strong support, and in less than half a day, more than 100 strong men were recruited, and when the land was allocated and the population was registered, the two also actively cooperated.

The law can't be under the county!

The laws of the imperial court have always been only enforced at the county level, below the county level, and the people are mainly managed through families and gentry, even if they pay taxes, they also need their help to collect them.

The management method of this maintenance may not be the best, but Li Zicheng is about to go east to Henan, and there is no time to carry out in-depth reforms, so he can only maintain the current management method for the time being.

Li Zicheng walked around Jinzhong Mountain and Pingding Mountain, and when he returned to the camp, it was already noon, he changed his clothes, and took He Xiaomi's personal soldiers with a small flag to Wang Hu's house.

The sun was overhead, and at noon, the temperature had risen a lot, and I had just come down from the mountain, walking all the way, and my body was moving, and I felt warm.

Wangjiazhuang is in the northeast corner of the barracks, but three or four miles, standing at the door of the barracks, you can see Wangjiazhuang, but Wang Hu's home is in the center of Wangjiazhuang, blocked by a large number of thatched houses, and cannot be seen for the time being, Li Zicheng put his hands behind his back, walked slowly, and unconsciously, he arrived at the entrance of Wangjiazhuang's village.

What surprised Li Zicheng was that not only Wang Hu was greeted at the entrance of the village, but also Wang Xi, the chief of Wangjialou......

It's not that he thinks there is any discord between the two, but he always feels a little weird, especially Wang Xi's face, which is not happy, but a little embarrassed.
