After dawn, Li Zicheng resumed his life, went to the training ground in the city and ran seven or eight miles, went back to have breakfast, and took Liu Kui, Li Jia, Wang Gui, and Zuo Gua, under the escort of his own soldiers, to Xining High School.

The content of the first day of teaching is actually one question: what is the mission of the Mandate of Heaven Army!

With Lanzhou's experience in teaching officials, and Xining being the birthplace of the Mandate of Heaven, the foundation of officials and ordinary people is better than that of Lanzhou.

Although the number of officials here is smaller than last time, the officials have their own methods and experiences, and the more they talk, the more they record, the more they record, and finally the two take turns recording the speeches of the officials, so that there is no omission.

That night, Li Zicheng accepted Chen Dahu's reception banquet, and participated in the evening banquet with Chen Dahu and Feng Keng, the two prefects, as well as the seven prefects of the two prefectures.

They had earlier contact with Li Zicheng, and they were more handover to Li Zicheng, and they were not as restrained as the officials in Longyou, besides, now it was a dinner party, and they were vying to toast Li Zicheng one by one.

After three rounds of drinking, the officials rushed to show their loyalty to Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng, who was drunk, told them that it was important to be loyal to themselves and the Mandate of Heaven, but the most important thing was to be loyal to the people, and the people were the foundation of the Mandate of Heaven.

He originally summoned Chen Dahu, Feng Keng and Chu Sheng after the dinner, but the wine rose, so he canceled tonight's appointment and changed it to tomorrow night, estimating that he was too drunk, and greeted the officials in advance, and Liu Kui taught tomorrow's training.

At first, the officials were still wide-eyed: such a young man is also worthy of teaching himself?

However, Li Zicheng told the officials that Liu Kui had already listened to his lectures in Lanzhou, and the lecture scripts were still compiled by them, and more importantly, they were the talents they focused on cultivating, and they would mainly teach the officials in the future.

The officials didn't dare to object, but Liu Kui gave a lecture, and their pressure was much less, and they drank staggered one by one, and then dispersed the banquet.

Li Zicheng was helped back to the Mandate of Heaven by his own soldiers, Sun Mengjie, Chen Qiudie, and Mu Sirong gritted their teeth one by one, and scolded these officials dozens of times in their hearts.

Seeing that Li Zicheng was drunk and didn't wake up, and he vomited a lot of dirt on his body, they gritted their teeth and pinched their noses, took off Li Zicheng's clothes that exuded strong alcohol, and wiped their bodies with hot water.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Li Zicheng woke up, shouting that he was thirsty.

Sun Mengjie got up, mixed half a cup of cold water with hot water, adjusted it to the right temperature, tried it with the tip of her tongue, and then brought it to Li Zicheng, "Sir, the water temperature is just right!" ”

"Oh!" Li Zicheng got up slightly, took the white water, and took a dry mouthful, but he felt that the wind was leaking in the quilt, and his body was a little cold, and when he looked down, he found that he was naked, "Jie'er, I remember that I drank high last night, why did I still ......"

"What else?" Sun Meng gave him a blank look, "Mr. is drunk like this, what else do you want to do?" This is the clothes that our sister changed for my husband......"

Li Zicheng put down the tea bowl, twisted his neck, smiled, and said, "Jie'er, my head is a little sore, you help me massage it!" ”

Su Mengjie leaned over as she said and massaged Li Zicheng's temples with her two little hands, like a little woman, very gently.

Li Zicheng saw that the greed was not bright, so he said: "I'll sleep first, and then ...... after dawn."

"Tianming, what are you going to do after tomorrow?" Sun Mengjie knew Li Zicheng's thoughts, and rolled her eyes again, "Don't drink so much wine if you want to...... We're all going to school after dawn, and besides, isn't my husband going to give lectures to the officials? ”

Li Zicheng turned over, feeling that the quilt was full of legs, knowing that Chen Qiudie and Mu Sirong were sleeping at that end, his heart didn't move, "Today's lecture has been handed over to Liu Kui and them, give yourself a day off, you can also ask for a leave, don't go to the school, just stay with me all day today!" ”

"Sir's good calculation!" Sun Mengjie pursed her lips and smiled, "The officials came to Xining to listen to Mr.'s lectures, and Mr. was good, but he was at home...... If you let others know, see how Mr. explains it to the officials! ”

"Explain what?" Li Zicheng closed his eyes slightly, fully enjoying Sun Mengjie's gentleness, "These rabbit cubs, they drunk the governor of Pontus alive, and they couldn't even get out of bed, and the governor of Bendu didn't pick their skins, even if they were polite......"

"Poof!" Sun Mengjie laughed unconsciously, but then she unfolded her boundless imagination, she was originally such a person...... But now, hey, how did he get pulled into the water by Chen Qiudie......

Li Zicheng felt that his head was much more comfortable, so he closed his eyes, and a wave of sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

All day, Li Zicheng used the excuse of being unwell, and Sun Mengjie, Chen Qiudie, and Mu Sirong stayed in the bedroom all the time, and even breakfast and lunch were stuffed in by He Xiaomi.

Li Zicheng was tired for a day, and in the evening, he got up, took his three daughters, and went to Xihuang Restaurant's house for dinner, and then summoned Chen Dahu, Feng Keng, Chu Sheng and Jiang Yuan in the original Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion.

The four of them saluted, and then sat down opposite Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng in addition to the selection of an official, he was most concerned about Xining Mansion, this is the foundation of the Mandate of Heaven Army, but also his root, "Big Tiger, how is the situation in Xining?" Banknotes, grain, and the city's markets, are there any signs of prosperity? ”

Chen Dahu arched his hand and said: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, since the issuance of paper money, Xining has been relatively stable, although silver money will also appear in the market, but merchants and people no longer reject paper money, even the people who go to Huaxia Bank to exchange silver money are much less than before, and the prices in the market are also very stable." ”

Li Zicheng nodded, Xining is stable, and there will be a stable supply of grain and commercial taxes.

Chen Dahu continued: "In terms of grain production, as long as the people do not abandon the famine, the wind and rain are smooth, the winter wheat is growing well, and the coarse grains such as sweet potatoes are countless, and some people even use them to feed pigs......

These losers, they have worked hard to get these crops from all over the world to Xining, and there are still many people in Shaanxi who have no food to eat, but they feed the pigs with coarse grains, and they have eaten for a few days? Have they forgotten what it was like to go hungry yesterday?

However, in Xining, there may indeed be too much coarse grain, so what can be done besides feeding pigs?

Li Zicheng thought for a moment, and asked Chen Dahu to buy some coarse grains in the name of the government, use them as seeds, and transport them to Yonggu City and Shaliucheng, where they were distributed to the people by the local government, and then taught planting techniques to help the local people have enough food and clothing, and then influenced the newly naturalized Mongols.

There are more left...... Li Zicheng thought of continuing to accept the displaced people from Shaanxi, but Xining and Longyou themselves had limited bearing, and it was impossible to increase the population indefinitely in today's underdeveloped science and technology and transportation, otherwise it was likely to destroy the original local balance.

He doesn't have any good treatment methods for the time being, and the method of deep processing has to be explored slowly, and he doesn't have time to study this now, it's better to raise pigs than to rot in vain!

"What about the naturalized people, do they obey the laws of the Mandate of Heaven?"

"At first, there were some people who complained, but after all, they were a minority, and now there are fewer and fewer such people.

Li Zicheng nodded, what is the nation? It is a group of people who speak a common language, a common belief, and have common living habits.

In various parts of Xining, the Chinese dialect was originally prevalent, the Tu people did not have their own language, and the Hui people did not have a complete language, so they basically borrowed the Chinese dialect to communicate, and the vast majority of the population could communicate freely with the Han people.

Tibetans have their own language and religion, and there are many of them, but the Mandate of Heaven has destroyed their faith, and even the major monasteries have been converted to God.

The common language and beliefs have become a tool for the Mandate of Heaven to naturalize foreign races, and it is entirely possible for these foreign races to integrate into the big family of the Han nation, as long as the Han people have sufficient numerical advantages.

Of course, in the process of implementing the naturalization policy, the guarantee of the Mandate of Heaven will always be indispensable.

Li Zicheng looked at Feng Keng, "What about Sanchuan Mansion?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, in Sanchuan Mansion, the Salar and Hui people are almost extinct, and there are not many Tibetans in the first place, so this will not be a climate at all," Feng Keng said: "It's just ...... It's just that Sanchuan Province, compared with Xining Province, has less industry and commerce, the industrial and commercial tax is almost zero, and the people are mainly farmland, and there are some animal husbandry. ”

"There is no need to worry about this," Li Zicheng thought more about "rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce", but unfortunately, Xining and Lanzhou are now in their infancy, and their self-protection is insufficient, and there is no radiation capacity at all for the time being, but sooner or later there will be, "The east and west ends of Sanchuan Mansion are Lanzhou Mansion and Xining Mansion, since there are industry and commerce in these two places, sooner or later it will be introduced to Sanchuan Mansion, just like a bucket, and the water will overflow." ”

"If your subordinates are taught, your subordinates will wait patiently!"

"It's not right to wait," Li Zicheng said: "You can take advantage of the current conditions of Sanchuan Prefecture to attract industrial and commercial people from other places to settle in Sanchuan, and you can also assist local merchants to become bigger and stronger, so that if it continues, Sanchuan Prefecture will develop faster and the industrial and commercial tax will also increase." ”

To Li Zicheng's gratification, the officials of Xining and Sanchuan clearly realized the role of industry and commerce in enriching the people, and that they were already more advanced than the officials in Longyou, and as long as the officials attached importance to and assisted the industrial and commercial people in removing all kinds of barriers that hindered the development of industry and commerce, industry and commerce would certainly be able to achieve healthy development.

Li Zicheng's goal tonight was to find an official, and after a few simple questions, he had already decided, and this candidate was Jiangyuan, the county governor of Huangyuan.
