That night, Li Zicheng camped in Sanhe Town, drank fresh fish soup with the soldiers of the navy, and ate a lot of Qinghai's specialty - pike!

The next morning, accompanied by Zhou Kun, he visited the Jinyintan Ranch, which was the Mandate of Heaven's own pasture, and the cattle, sheep, and war horses were all his own.

At this time, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the pasture grass is extremely vigorous, all kinds of wild flowers are splendid, black cows, white sheep, yellow horses, like moving flowers, dotted with gold and silver beaches in the distance, shepherdess riding bantam horses, leisurely playing piccolo, men are rushing to harvest pasture, dried for cattle and sheep to spend the winter.

Li Zicheng sighed in his heart, it turned out that the ranch was such a picture, no wonder the nomads were reluctant to give up their way of life......

In later generations, many people yearn for Hulun #Bell Prairie, if it weren't for the low output of pastures, Li Zicheng would have wanted to develop the grassland economy on a large scale.

Back in Sanhe Town, Li Zicheng did not inspect the Qinghai navy, but went to the sea with the fishing team to fish, and the sea breeze blew on the vast sea for half a day before going ashore and rushing to Huangyuan County, where he joined Zhu Shihong and rushed to Xining together.

According to the old system, Li Zicheng stayed in the original Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, the conditions were simpler, but there was nothing missing, the soldiers could live and cook in the back office, if they wanted to drink some soup, they were ready to go to the Xihuang Restaurant, and the Lan family was waiting.

Sun Mengjie, Chen Qiudie, and Mu Sirong got the information, and rushed over that night to drive away the clumsy soldiers, and the three of them served Li Zicheng with food and daily life.

After dinner, Li Zicheng summoned Zhu Zhihong alone.

Coming back from Huangyuan County, along the way, Li Zicheng had already revealed to him that after returning to Xining, he would be appointed as the governor of Qinghai Province, just chatting on the way, Li Zicheng asked him to think about it, and did not let him express his position in a hurry, he gave some time to see what kind of mentality Zhu Zhihong had.

Now is the time to make a decision back in Xining.

"The Grand Duke!" Zhu Zhihong bowed to the ground, he had long forgotten the identity of Prince Su.

"Lord Su doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly, let's sit and talk!" Li Zicheng motioned for Zhu Zhihong to sit on the wooden chair opposite.

"Governor Dadu, Lord Su is dead, and his subordinate is Zhu Zhihong!" Zhu Zhihong's face has long lost the nobility and arrogance of the prince, and he served as the prefect of Haibei Mansion, especially when dealing with nomads, he really realized the hardships of the people's lives.

I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor intends to let him experience this difficult life, although his own life will not be too bitter, but he has come into contact with too many bitter people.

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, if he can let go of his identity as a prince, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle, "Zhihong, how did you think about making you the governor of Qinghai?" ”

"Thank you, thank you, Governor!" Zhu Zhihong bowed his hand as a courtesy.

"Zhihong, to be honest, you are a descendant of the Zhu family, and you are a little sad when you join the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion as an official?" Li Zicheng's face kept smiling, "Zhihong, you should know that the ultimate goal of the Heavenly Mandate Governor's Mansion is right?" ”

"Dadu Governor Mingjian!" Zhu Zhihong held his hand as a salute and said, "When my subordinates first arrived in Haibei Mansion, I had some ...... in my heart There are some thorns, however, these days, the subordinates have already thought clearly, there is no eternal dynasty, Han, Tang, Song, but hundreds of years, all of them have disappeared, and the Ming Dynasty will not be an exception......"

“……”

"The subordinates are the descendants of the Zhu family, but no matter how hard the subordinates try, it is impossible to change the situation of the Ming Dynasty, the subordinates don't know how long the Ming Dynasty can last, but the subordinates know that even if the subordinates refuse to serve as the governor of Qinghai, the historical process will not change!"

"Zhihong can think like this, which is not only the luck of the Mandate of Heaven, but also a sublimation of Zhihong's life," Li Zicheng said: "Throw away the past and set sail again, in order to move towards another glorious period of life!" ”

"Subordinates, thank you for your love!" Zhu Zhihong said: "The subordinates are willing to serve the governor of the capital, and there is another reason, the Haibei Mansion that the subordinates know, it is said that in the era of the Han Dynasty, the champion General Hou Huo Qubing once conquered this place, but after the Han Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are no longer in their homeland, and the metropolitan governor can recover his homeland with the power of Xining...... This courage, this courage...... In the eyes of his subordinates, the dragon and phoenix among the governors of the capital will sooner or later be able to seize the world and establish immortal miracles......"

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed and said: "Tomorrow will be thin, and it will be a matter of time before it will perish, but who will win the championship is not yet known!" ”

"Throughout the world, although the thieves are prosperous, they are not enough to ......"

"Among the thieves, there are also many heroes, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings, Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, ......" Li Zicheng listed more than ten thieves in one breath, and then said: "There are also foreign Tartars, and it is possible to break through!" ”

Zhu Zhihong was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that the Tartars could also go south and enter the Central Plains like the Mongols, but since the Mongols could, why didn't the Tatars have a chance?

He sighed and said, "Since the Grand Governor has taken it into consideration, with the courage, courage, mind and wisdom of the Grand Governor, he will definitely not let them succeed!" ”

Li Zicheng's face did not change color, but he admired Zhu Zhihong a little in his heart, if he didn't account for hundreds of years of experience in later generations, where could he see the trend of history clearly? Maybe it's not as good as him!

"Zhihong, once you take over as the governor of Qinghai, how do you plan to govern?"

"Everything under his subordinates is at the ...... of the Grand Governor"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "If you have any ideas, just say it, you don't have to say it!" ”

"That'...... The subordinates are bold...... "Zhu Zhihong said: "The subordinates serve in Haibei Mansion, and they are familiar with the situation in Haibei Mansion, according to the situation on the ground, at present, they are still mainly naturalized people, whether they are farmers or herdsmen, interests are the main driving force to attract their naturalization, if you attach too much importance to taxes, you are afraid that if you kill a chicken and take eggs, the gains outweigh the ......losses."

"Zhihong is right, the situation in Hainan Mansion and Haibei Mansion is actually similar, both are based on naturalization and missionary work, and a set of Han people system has been established!"

"Na Nining ......"

"Xining and Sanchuan Prefectures, originally had a large number of Han people, and were the earliest places of activity of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the form was relatively optimistic, and the sinicization was basically completed, as long as there were no heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people's lives would not be a problem," Li Zicheng said: "But the two prefectures are different, Xining Prefecture is relatively wealthy, and industry and commerce have started, but Sanchuan Prefecture is mainly based on agriculture, and industry and commerce are far behind Xining." ”

"What does the Governor mean......"

Li Zicheng told Zhu Zhihong that Xining Mansion is under the nose of the provincial government, and it is necessary to maintain the steady development of industry and commerce, and everything the government does is to escort industry and commerce, and when industry and commerce develop and grow, the government will have more tax revenue.

As for Sanchuan Prefecture, on the premise of ensuring that farmland is not abandoned, we will try our best to let the industry and commerce of Xining Province leak to Sanchuan Prefecture, so that the industry and commerce of Sanchuan Prefecture can develop as soon as possible, and finally achieve a situation where it will go hand in hand with Xining Prefecture.

He also wants to introduce a parliamentary system in Qinghai Province, like Gansu Province, at least establish a parliament in Xining Prefecture and Sanchuan Prefecture, think about it or forget it, Zhu Zhihong must not know what a parliament is, and he will have time in the future, and then teach him slowly.

Although Zhu Zhihong is young, he has a certain amount of knowledge, he nodded and said, "My subordinates understand!" ”

"With Xining as the center, Xining and Sanchuan need to be developed; Haibei and Hainan provinces need to be naturalized. This is the core government of you, the governor! ”

"The subordinates understand, however, the subordinates estimate that if Sanchuan Mansion wants to catch up with Xining Mansion, I'm afraid it will take some time......"

"That's natural," Li Zicheng said: "If you don't know something, you can use the channels of the military to send a letter to ask at any time, even if I am not in Lanzhou, Shijun, Wencheng, and Old Man Mei will also guide them carefully." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

"Then from tomorrow, you will take office, the documents will arrive tomorrow, and the official seal will be sent after I return to Lanzhou," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "This is the original Dadu Governor's Mansion, just use it as the yamen of the provincial capital, and you can repair and transform it slightly!" ”

"Thank you, Dadu!" In order to show his loyalty, Zhu Zhihong prostrated on the ground again and kowtowed to Li Zicheng three times.

Tonight's words were not only for the Grand Governor, but also for himself, and after the words were finished, his heart was much more relaxed.

Zhu Zhihong stayed in the small room of the Central Ya, and once Li Zicheng left Xining, the original Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion would become his provincial yamen.

Sun Mengjie and Chen Qiudie had already prepared hot water and let Li Zicheng take a bath in a wooden barrel, although Mu Sirong replied shyly, she was also busy packing up Li Zicheng's clothes and making the bed.

Chen Qiudie's eyes were already dripping with water, she snatched the clean clothes that Li Zicheng wanted to change from Mu Sirong's hands, approached Li Zicheng, and whispered: "Governor, let the maid serve you in the bath......"

Li Zicheng twisted her cheek and said: "It's still a lovely butterfly, I've been on the road for most of the day today, I'm a little tired, I want to soak in the hot water, and I can wash off the stinky sweat on my body, well, I really need someone to serve me, you come along!" ”

Seeing Mu Sirong's slightly disappointed eyes, he hugged her and Sun Mengjie into his arms again, pressed them to their ears, and whispered a few words.

Mu Sirong was suddenly so embarrassed that her face was red, and she almost got into Li Zicheng's camouflage uniform, "Most of the governors are bad......

Sun Mengjie smiled "poof", hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, and glanced at Li Zicheng, "Didn't Mr. say that the long-distance march is hard?" How can you still ......?"

"Knowing that Mr. is hard, you still rushed to join in the fun, do you treat Mr. as an old cow?" Li Zicheng kissed Sun Mengjie and Mu Sirong on their foreheads, then let go of them and took Chen Qiudie's little hand, "Let's go, Die'er, let's go take a bath first!" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Qiudie groaned, hurriedly took Li Zicheng's arm, and happily went to the bathroom next door, she first hurriedly helped Li Zicheng to take off his clothes and pants, and sent them into the hot water of the wooden barrel......
