Li Yu returned to the lobby, glanced at everyone, and then said to Bai Xianzhi and Tuo Yangkun: "You grit your teeth and persist for a while, I promise to send some food after the autumn, everyone is too tired to rest for a few days, the dolls can't be hungry, I'll find a way to add two nests to them every day." ”

"Hermes-Epitek, you can't carry all the burdens, it's not fair!" Sun Qifeng couldn't help it, stood up and walked in front of Liu Zhilun and shouted, "Yuan Cheng, tell the emperor everything that happened here, if the people have no way to live, it will be useless for him to spend more money to suppress thieves." ”

Liu Zhilun's head hung lower, and it took a long time before he whispered: "Take all my money, how many can be saved." ”

Sun Qi was speechless for a while, and sat back angrily - the governor has no background in the court, but he is just the façade of the court that has been driven out of the customs, what can you call him? There was silence in the lobby for a long time, Li Yu took a long breath, reluctantly smiled and said: "We have all survived the hard days, nothing is a big deal, let's take one step at a time, here it will be handed over to Lao Bai and the scorpion block, and everyone else will return, especially you, Wang Fang, you must go back with me." ”

Wang Fang shrank his head and didn't answer, this is expected, the general will never leave him, a radical anti-Ming element, in the customs to cause trouble, but he is also prepared, appointing Gao He as the temporary head of the Datong branch of the Civic Party, and also sent a few old party members to assist or monitor Gao He - this guy is very addicted to officials, but he doesn't want to endure hardship, and he ran away once, Wang Fang showed the Jinyi Wei from the Titang Division to try a hundred waist cards and threaten him, if he is not obedient, he will be asked to eat a lawsuit, and it will not be as simple as a meritorious name, Gao He was frightened, has been very honest during this time, Wang Fang is very confident that this talent will be trained to become a party leader.

Li Yu seemed to have guessed Wang Fang's thoughts, turned his face to stare at Gao He and said: "Gao Zhengyuan, it doesn't matter if you lose your fame, there are officials in Fengzhou who don't know a few big characters, you do things well for the villagers, I promise you a future." ”

It was already dark when the meeting ended, Li Yu simply ate a few bites of food and returned to the study, and the three Taiyuan scholars followed Li Yao and Zhang Zhiyao quietly in - Fu Shan is from Yangqu, Taiyuan Prefecture, Xue Zongzhou and Wang Rujin are from Fenyang, Fenzhou Prefecture, the three of them are excellent in character and learning and have great ambitions, Xue Zongzhou and Wang Rujin even have plans to join the army and serve the country. This time, Zhang Daojun, the superintendent of the Shanxi Joint Defense Bureau, raised a thousand stone meters to support Datong, and the three of them also came with the grain transportation team, wanting to see with their own eyes who the big hero in the minds of Shanxi people was, but they were poured a bucket of cold water on the first time they saw - the big hero actually claimed to be Yiren, thinking of Li Yu's shaved Fengzhou head, the more the three of them thought about it, the more uneasy they became, and they must come to ask for understanding.

"Does it matter if I'm a Yi or a Han? My brain is broken, and I can't remember where I'm from. Li Yu replied lightly.

"Of course it's important, Huayi has been incompatible since ancient times, how can the heroes of the Ming Dynasty be Yiren? Dashuai must be from Shanxi, like Ma Fang, who lived outside the customs, and couldn't bear the humiliation of Yiren before returning to Daming to serve his parents, everyone said so. Fu Shan said seriously.

"Nonsense, my third uncle (Uncle Yuzi) is from Yulin." Li Yao and Zhang Zhiyao responded in unison.

"No, there is no kind of hero, how can we talk about Huayi, whoever can make the people straighten their waists and live is a big hero," Li Yu waved his hand to retort, pointing to his head and said to the young man, "What you think is right is not necessarily true, you have to go out and think more with your brain, the Yi people are not as bad as you think, the Han people are not necessarily as good as you think, the Han people are sometimes worse than the Yi people, think about it, there are more people who die under the sword of the Yi people, or more people who die under the harsh government of the imperial court?" ”

Fu Shan and the other three were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, but Li Yao and Zhang Zhiyao didn't care, they even agreed that they were from Fengzhou, and they had nothing to do with the Han and Yi people.

"Isn't it great to be a Ming Han person? I tell you, the people of the Ming Dynasty are worse than the Aha of the Jin State, Aha is at least a family property in the eyes of Zhushen, and the master will never ignore it, every year of famine, the Khan of the Jin State would rather shed blood and fight to help his subjects survive, but what did the Ming court do? Not only did he not help his own people, but he raised a butcher's knife, what is this court that only knows how to enslave and extort the people without the slightest mercy? It's a scoundrel, it's a villain! The pent-up anger in Li Yu's heart was all released at this time, standing in the middle of the study and roaring angrily, it took a while to calm down, and he waved his hand to the young man and said, "You go back and think about it, what is a country?" Is it the emperor, the court, or the people? Come back to me when you figure it out. ”

Fu Shan and the others turned pale with fright, and staggered out, they definitely couldn't sleep this night.

Naturalization, this year's drought is serious, but many years of perseverance in building water conservancy has played an important role, the completion of spring ploughing is not dangerous, the sowing land in various places has reached 23,000 hectares, in the year of the famine in Guannai, Fengzhou has the hope of achieving grain self-sufficiency for the first time, the officials who have worked hard for more than a month quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as Li Yu returned to naturalization, they came to report the good news.

"The water source is a big problem, the population of Guihua Province is more than 100,000, the water of the big and small black rivers is not enough, you can only protect the crops and livestock first, and the corresponding water for people is less, it is imperative to develop to the west, especially Baoketu, where there are the Yellow River, Kundulun River, grassland, coal and iron and a large area of arable land, the conditions are very superior, we used to want to focus on the development of the Shenshui beach in Ordos, now it seems that it is not necessary, the businessman's sense of smell is more sensitive than ours, and he has already started in Baoketu first." Prime Minister Li Huai said.

Everyone agreed, the original want to build Ordos into a second home because of the pressure of the Jin State is too great, but at present, peace has been achieved between Fengzhou and the Jin State, and the eastern border has been extended to Duolunoer, which is actually the limit of Fengzhou, and it is impossible to develop eastward for a long time, and the strategic depth has been increased to ensure the safety of naturalization, and the westward development with Baoketu as the center is of course much better than the Shenshui Beach close to the big sand.

Ortai has always believed in Mongolian liberalism, and is full of confidence in Fengzhou's governance strategy and development momentum, and said to everyone with a smile: "Our "Freedom of Movement Order" is the most critical, and the number of people who require them to move west is much more than we estimated, and the development of the west is very likely to exceed our imagination. ”

"Baoketu is no longer a sparsely populated grassland, there are already more than 20,000 people, iron mills, wood mills, woolen mills, paper mills of hundreds of sizes, and this time the Khalkha people came, and the big judge suggested that their land should be arranged in Baoketu, so that they can see the strength of Fengzhou." Yun Rong also said proudly.

Namur sent a letter from Khalkha, Khalkha Sanhan organized a huge delegation, the estimated number of people is more than 2,000, tens of thousands of horses, cattle and alpacas, Li Huai was startled, are these guys running to eat? It's not good, you have to lose money when you buy and sell. Ortai didn't think so, let the Prime Minister's Office lend a piece of grassland to the Khalkha people, don't care about the rest, and gave a lesson to the people of the Prime Minister's Office - Mongolian people are proud, and they are self-sufficient with cattle and sheep when they go far away, and you are kind enough to give food but it is easy to cause misunderstanding, during the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, the Oirat envoy entered Beijing to worship, and the imperial court ordered the people along the way to provide food, as a result, the people of the Ming Kingdom increased their burden in vain, and they resented the Oirats, and the Oirats thought that there was no one in the eyes of the Ming Kingdom, and treated them as if they were asking for food, As a result, friction and even a big fight broke out between the two sides, which eventually led to a deterioration in the relationship, and a good thing turned into a bad thing because they did not understand each other's customs.

Li Yu nodded, and asked about the situation in Jinguo, Li Jianji immediately jumped out and said: "General, the drought in Jinguo this year is also very serious, and grain production must be greatly reduced. ”

"Our own grain is not loose, we must purchase from the south to supplement the shortage, of course, we must control the grain, besides, the Jin Khan is ambitious, and if there is grain in hand, he will definitely go south to harass the Ming Dynasty, why should we help the abuse." Li Huai shook his head and replied.

"No, it is precisely because we are short of food and encourage farmers to farm, so the price of grain must not be low, otherwise it is likely that the grain will flow out, and the grain merchants will not be profitable and will not send grain to Fengzhou, this is the most terrible, so the grain is bought and sold, and the price of grain is the right way to go to the market. Li Jianji retorted, this guy is too unconscionable, he only thinks that he is from Fengzhou, and completely forgets that he is also from Mingguo.

"I sold one stone of rice to Jin Guo, and the money I earned could buy two stone of rice from the Guannei, why didn't I do this transaction? We will sell whatever they want, as long as we can afford it, and the weapons will be sold correctly," Li Yu is now more and more like a businessman, only caring about making money and ignoring others, and after glancing at everyone, he said, "It is too difficult for us now, we need money more than ever, from this month onwards, I will send my military salary and income from my job field to the Guannai, and you will also take out a little bit, so that the children of the Tuntian Army can eat more." ”

Everyone nodded and said that they were willing to pay for it, and after a conversation they dispersed, Li Yu called Chang Shu, who had not spoken, Chang Shu, the Jianzhou Zhushen of the root red Miaozheng, surnamed Fucha, was one of the first families to follow the old Khan, and he was the second-class Mei Le Zhangjing, and was also awarded the title of Baksh by the old Khan, which can be regarded as a prominent position, since the death of Manchu Dahai, Fengzhou Zhushen has been lacking in leadership talents, his arrival made Fengzhou feel like a big fish in the net, considering that he and the great commander were taught by the two masters of Kurtang and Dahai, Many speculate that this man has a bright future.

"Figured it out?" Li Yu took Chang Shu's hand and sat down - when Chang Shu arrived at naturalization, he clamored for Fengzhou to raise troops to fight gold, and often cried, and only recently calmed down.

"If you can't figure it out, there's no way, your situation here is not much better than that of Jin Guo, let's wait for revenge." Chang Shu replied with a wry smile.

"Senior brother, let's have a good talk today, let's talk about the affairs of the Jin Kingdom."

A few days later, the deputy commanders Liu Xingzuo and Batu suddenly arrived in naturalization, and entered Li Yu's study with the five people of the Xuanji Lama, Ortai, Li Fugui, Li Huai and Chang Shu, and talked secretly all day behind closed doors, no one knew what they were talking about, but the officials of Fengzhou all felt that something big was about to happen, and sure enough, only two days later, the principal officials of the Grand Commander's Office, the Prime Minister's Office, the Great Law Division, the Zanhua Military Affairs Office, and the Council were invited to Li Yu's house to discuss important matters.

Li Yu's home was separated from the Grand Commander's Mansion by a wall, and later the Prime Minister's Mansion was separated from the Grand Commander's Mansion, and then squeezed into a governor's mansion, the land was not enough, Wulan and Wu Langha sisters were rich, so they simply circled a large piece of land in the south of the city, and built a large mansion in the style of Shanxi, which is now the Li Mansion, and the original courtyard was left for the office of the Grand Commander's Mansion.

The Li Mansion was crowded with people today, in addition to the deputy commanders Liu Xingzuo, Batu and a large group of officials, the leaders of the three religions, the leaders of the three religions, Shen Shoulian, Wang Fang, the governor Liu Zhilun, the premiers of the two parties, Sun Qifeng, the governor of Fengzhou Academy, and the Tuba and Jintu of Chahar were also present, and what was even more amazing was that there were also a group of young people and children standing honestly in the middle of the courtyard - among them were Li Yu's two sons Li Meng and Li Jin, nephews Li Xuan and Li Yao, as well as Zhang Zhiyao, Hadari, Rabdu, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Bao, these people who were raised by Li Yuen, the two Hatun Wulan and Wu Langha each held the young lark and Li Qin, and Sutai, who was forced to squeeze into Li's house, pulled Kong Guoer, and Liu Xingzuo's wife held the three-year-old Liu Chengzu and stood aside, Batu's son Chagui wanted to run, but was pulled back by Meng Ke's neck. The officials reacted, the general has to deal with family affairs today, and everyone standing in the courtyard has a close relationship with the Li family, including Cha Gui is also Li Yu's nephew, Liu Chengzu is still young, but with the relationship between his father and Li Yu, he will also enter the Li family circle sooner or later, Meng Ke has always claimed that he is Li Yu's Ahha, and of course he is also the iron core of the Li family.

I have created a Fengzhou, and at the same time cultivated my own family power, these children will be on the stage of Fengzhou in less than ten years, if this force is not integrated well, it will become a problem in the future - Li Yu sighed, waved his hand to everyone to signal quiet, and then asked Chang Shu to talk about Jin Guohan's family affairs first.

Chang Shu starts with the old Khan of the Jin State, Nurhachi, and tells how the second king Shuerhaqi died of madness, how the crown prince Chu Ying was framed and died by his brothers, how the five founding ministers were snubbed and depressed and died, how the eldest concubine Abahai was forced to die of martyrdom, and also talked about how Tiancong Khan imprisoned the second Bel Amin, how he suppressed the big Bel Daishan and the third Bel Mang Gurtai, and how he annexed the Zhenglan Banner. Fengzhou officials are no strangers to these things, and they know some about them, but when they are told by Chang Shu, a person who knows the roots, it is more detailed and credible, and it is more creepy.

"Huang Taiji violated his oath to God, and mutilated the flesh and blood of his compatriots in a frenzy, Ling Chi's sister, brother and nephew, Mang Gurtai and Derge died in an unknown manner, and even the grave was dug up, is this what people do? Pity me for being a thousand loyal and brave soldiers of the Blue Banner, who did not die on the battlefield of killing the enemy, but died under the butcher's knife of his own people, God, come and punish this wicked man! Chang Shu couldn't cry at the end, waving his fists to the sky and roaring.

"Beasts, Yi Di has a king, if it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia, its many unrighteous deeds will be punished by heaven." Liu Zhilun was so angry that he roared.

"Brother Nianfeng, you are proficient in scripture and history, and you can also tell you about the Ming Kingdom." Li Yu whispered to Li Fugui.

Li Fugui told about the Hu Weiyong case in the early Ming Dynasty, the Lanyu case and the later Battle of Jingjing, the officials exclaimed from time to time, and some people were so frightened that they trembled, especially Batu, there was no trace of blood on his face - his position was the most embarrassing, Li Yu designated him and Liu Xingzuo as deputy commanders, Liu Xingzuo was not in good health when he was old, and he could only be a transitional figure, and the successor was actually him, but he really couldn't take over, and the complex ethnic relations of the Fengzhou people determined that the position of the great commander could only belong to Li Yu and his direct descendants, If there is a battle for the throne in the future, other entrepreneurial heroes may still have a way to live, and he will definitely be stabbed.

"Compared with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, the Khan of the Jin Kingdom is not even worthy of lifting shoes, he only killed dozens of people, Emperor Chengzu ordered three thousand palace maids to be killed alive at one time, and he watched with great interest every day, the chief of the building is a beast, and the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is not as good as a beast." Li Fugui glanced at Liu Zhilun mockingly, and Liu Zhilun immediately lowered his head.

"Since I have talked about the Jin and Ming kingdoms, I will also talk about the affairs of Mongolia, the most tragic and influential battle for Mongolian power is none other than the dispute between Emperor Shizu and his brother Ali Buge," Ortai also stood up, and said in a heavy tone, "Ancestor Genghis Khan made a rule according to custom, and all successors to the Great Khan of Mongolia must be elected by the Kubulitai Assembly, and Ali Buge is the legitimate Great Khan elected by the Kubulitai Assembly, but Emperor Shizu did not recognize it, but set himself up as a Khan to raise troops to expel Ali Buge, The civil war was fought for five years, injuring countless innocent lives, although Emperor Shizu won the final victory, but the ancestral system was subverted, Mongolia was also divided, no matter how wise and holy Emperor Shizu was, but he could no longer unify the Great Mongol Khanate left by his ancestors, and the harm of the power struggle to the community can be seen! ”

Li Yu stood up and continued: "The battle for power is bloody and cruel, will this kind of thing happen in Fengzhou in the future?" I'm scared! I really want to hide in the pass and not come back, but this kind of thing can't be avoided, and it seems that all dynasties and dynasties have been like this. I know the two generations of Great Khans of the Jin Kingdom, they are by no means cruel people by nature, the old Khan has a big heart, treats people like a father, and Sibeile is wise and wise, full of benevolence to the people, but why would they do such a vicious thing? Master Kurtan told me that authority changes people, and so did the old Khan, and so did the Four Beylers, and that the Great Khan's authority made them cruel and tyrannical, and hateful. ”

Li Yu paused, slammed his fist on the table, and said loudly: "No, this kind of thing must not happen in Fengzhou, you are all my brothers who have shared weal and woe for many years, I will not tolerate anyone hurting my brother, let alone my children killing each other." ”
