Liang Wencheng pondered for a moment, suddenly left his seat, and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng with a "poof", "Since the adults trust him so much, his subordinates dare not go to work?" ”

Li Zicheng hurriedly got up, helped him up, and sat on the chair, "Wen Cheng, between you and me, don't want these false courtesies, although I am temporarily in charge of Xiningwei, but I have never been a subordinate, but a brother, you see, originally every time we met, it was 'Lord Liang, Lord Liang', I felt awkward, so I simply called him by his name, but was more comfortable, from now on, this is it, between you and me, only his name is allowed, Wen Cheng is good?" ”

"Subordinates dare to disobey ......"

Li Zicheng pointed to his head and shook his head, "Wencheng ......"

Liang Wencheng knew that he didn't control the pass for a while, so he could only laugh "hehe" twice, and then said with a straight face: "Zicheng, to be honest, I'm just a martial artist, I can't read a few big characters, and I have some experience in marching and fighting, but I am on an errand in this prefect's house...... There are indeed some ...... To be honest, I really don't know what to do! ”

"Actually, there aren't many affairs for the time being, Xining originally didn't have a prefect, didn't you live the same life?" Li Zicheng first relieved Liang Wencheng's fear, "Xining's focus is mainly to promote agriculture and let the people join in, but it is already mid-November, and the matter of land reclamation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the new yuan, mainly to divide the land for the people, register the population, and collect agricultural taxes in the future, there is also a basis." ”

Liang Wencheng pondered for a moment and said, "I understand a little!" ”

"Of course, there will be many unexpected things when it comes to specific operations, for example, some people are unwilling to resume farming; Or when registering the population, some aliens are reluctant to register as Han Chinese, etc., Wencheng needs to do more of their ideological work, if the people figure it out in their hearts, your work will be easier! ”

Liang Wencheng is a soldier, how can he understand these meticulous persuasions? That's all a matter for civil officials, and he seems to have forgotten that from this moment on, he has also become a civil official in the true sense of the word, "in case someone ......"

"The work is easy first and then difficult, and we will do whatever it takes to let most of the people join our camp," Li Zicheng paused suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "The general trend is the trend, no one can stop it, and when necessary, I will mobilize the army to suppress it." ”

"Yes, I see." Liang Wencheng thought about it, contacted Li Zicheng's urgent expectations for farming, and finally understood Li Zicheng's determination.

Li Zicheng admonished: "Of course, until the last moment, I don't plan to use the army, because of the lack of farm tools, the speed of the people to reclaim the land will not be too fast, everything is not urgent, I will fully support you." ”

“……”

"You can use some means, for example, the people who refuse to return to farming, increase the taxes on animal husbandry, and refuse to naturalize as Han Chinese, either leave, or continue to be nomadic and do not allocate arable land for the time being," Li Zicheng continued: "I will give you three war horses, so that you can run around, and if necessary, you can also allocate a few small banners of soldiers, in short, all for food!" ”

Liang Wencheng arched his hand and said: "I understand, I will go back and think about it, and I will start propaganda tomorrow, and strive to let the people reclaim some land before the snow." ”

"There is one thing, I can't live with you, the prefect of Xining," Li Zicheng returned the salute and said with a smile: "I'll give you a few rooms as offices and storage places, but Xining still maintains a relationship with the imperial court at the moment, and can't hang up the official office of Xining Mansion for the time being." ”

"I understand, these false courtesies are not taken seriously," Liang Wencheng arched his hand, "Zicheng, you gave me a new task, I didn't prepare at all, I think it's better to go back earlier, and then think about it left and right, don't mess up the errand." ”

"Wencheng just do your best," Li Zicheng returned the salute with a smile, but said: "Wencheng, now Xining Mansion is also in ruins, once it stabilizes, you will not only have to clean up and rectify Xining City, but also supervise the counties below." ”

Liang Wencheng's head suddenly became bigger, "This, I'm afraid it's going to be late, I'll start the matter in Xining first!" ”

"It's okay to be late!"

Liang Wencheng had already gotten up and was about to say goodbye and go back, when he suddenly thought of something, "Does Zicheng let me clean up and rectify the merchants in Xining City, and ...... from them?"

"That's not what I mean," Li Zicheng shook his head, "The most important thing now is to return the farming, as for the merchants, let's talk about it later, lest there be trouble, I will make them willing to pay some silver." ”

After Liang Wencheng left, Li Zicheng saw that the sun was still hanging on the mountainside, and was about to go to the training ground to have a look, but saw Ren Erxi rushing to see him: "My lord, Sun Xiaoqiguan asked to see him, saying that Sun Mengjie had brought the students ordered by the adults, and now he lives in the back office, in addition, the house used as a school has been preliminarily selected, do you want to take a look?" ”

"So fast?" Li Zicheng said in his heart, Sun Mengjie, this girl, is still in a hurry, and she brought ten students so quickly, it won't be a fraud, right? However, he was still going to take a look at the house first, "Let Sun Lin come in!" ”

Sun Lin kowtowed, and then led Li Zicheng out of the official office, along the wall to the west of the official office, almost close to the intersection of the northwest wall of the official office, Sun Lin Fang pointed to a wall more than one zhang high and said: "My lord, this is this courtyard, my lord take a look to see if it can be used as a school!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at it, the wall is only ten zhang away from the official office, in the row of houses closest to the official office, it should be facing the back office of the official office, he moved in his heart, it is better to open the door of the official office, and then build two wall corridors, this house is equivalent to the back office of the back office, and in the future, for the protection of these students, there is no need to send additional soldiers, the back office of the official office, there are soldiers stationed day and night.

He looked at the house carefully, the wooden planks at the courtyard gate were a little old, but the walls were still neat, "Sun Lin, how is it inside?" ”

"The seller left the key, do you want to go in and have a look?" Sun Lin had already taken out the key and held it in the palm of his hand.

"Well, take a look."

Li Zicheng asked Sun Lin to open the courtyard door, the original courtyard with two entrances and three rooms, the front one entered, like an ordinary house, except for the main hall in the middle, the east and west sides are bedrooms, and the furniture in the hall is there, but it is a little old, it may be that there has been no one living for a long time, and there is a thick layer of dust on it.

Separated by the courtyard in the middle, there are three houses in the back, between the front and back, there are five zhang, and there is an independent wooden attic in the northwest corner, which should be the kitchen.

The house is at least half-new, and as long as you spend half a day cleaning and tidying up, you can live in it immediately.

Li Zicheng was very satisfied with it, such a courtyard should be able to accommodate ten students, so he asked Sun Lindao: "If the courtyard is bought in its entirety, how much silver will it cost?" ”

Sun Lin bowed his head and said: "The seller said that he didn't want money, as long as the adult took a fancy to this house, he was willing to give it to the adult." ”
