Listening to Xiao Ruxun's words, Li Rusong was stunned for a moment.

He didn't think about this, or rather, he didn't care much about this, what he was concerned about was how to steadily expand his interests and power, this was the limit of what he could think about in his position, he never dared and didn't want to go up and think about more things, and it was obvious that Xiao Ruxun was willing, and he had already put it into practice.

He became the Emperor's helper.

To be honest, the relationship between Li Rusong and civil officials is not good, except for the top boss who does not dare to contradict him, the other Liaodong magistrates are made to die by him, but most of these people are not from Liaodong.

The military generals who were born in Liaodong and those people united by Li Chengliang in the imperial court are their helpers, and the existence of these people can make the Li family sit firmly in that position in Liaodong.

Obviously, the Jin family has long been no longer part of the people in that circle, and Li Rusong has no opinion on the Jin family, but if he says that he wants to do it to the civil official group, it will be too much involved.

Li Rusong, who was brave and good at fighting, was disdainful of the Mongols and Jurchens, but he still did not dare to slack off in the face of those who could control his fate.

The civilian officials have been pressing on the heads of the generals for too long, so that the generals themselves feel that this is a very normal thing, and the people who feel abnormal are already dead and no longer exist, and the awakened people are undoubtedly still a minority.

Li Rusong's fight with the governor is a manifestation of the rebellion consciousness of dissatisfied civil officials, and deference to the rest of the bigwigs is the survival concept of officialdom.

So Li Rusong didn't make too many statements.

"How does Governor Xiao hope to cooperate with the end of the business?"

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

This result is not unexpected, if Li Rusong is really so arrogant and domineering in the officialdom, it is estimated that he will not be able to live now, he can provoke people and those who cannot be provoked He sees it very clearly, he is a very smart person, Xiao Ruxun said this in order to determine Li Rusong's attitude, but to establish a closer relationship with Li Rusong.

It is important to determine that Li Rusong is not satisfied with the attitude of the civilian officials stepping on his head, if he is clearly standing behind certain people, then this person is not reliable.

Li Rusong chose to do business, knowing how dangerous what he wanted to do, but he still wanted to do business with himself, which means that part of his personal emotions and even his position are inclined to his side.

Don't ask him to do it in one step, but wait for him to feel the feasibility before pulling him in.

The political struggle of the Ming Dynasty is still the strength behind it in the end, but when the military forces intervene, the political struggle will become tasteless, and it must shed blood, so the political struggle between civilian officials has always not allowed the army to participate, otherwise it will be a warlord melee, but this time, at the moment, without the intervention and support of the army, Zhu Yijun could not succeed.

After all, the real source of the emperor's power is military and financial power, Zhu Yijun has internal funds and money, but he does not have an army, if he can control the army, he can naturally override the administrative power of the civilian clique.

"General Li only needs to prepare some ships and items that he wants to sell, and go all the way south from Liaodong to the sea, and directly arrive in Luzon, Luzon has been taken by me, and the Fran Jiyi on Luzon Island has been defeated by me, which means that the entire Nanyang is now under my control, and General Li can trade in Luzon, or directly go to Burma to trade, as long as he pays taxes."

"That's it?"

Li Rusong couldn't believe it.

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"That's just it, don't worry about Mr. Li, it's really just that, if Mr. Li and I do business with the Europa, then, naturally, don't worry about the money for raising soldiers, this money will go back from the sea to the sea, and others won't take a cent."

"You don't want anything? Just asking for taxes? ”

Li Rusong continued to ask.

"Just those commercial taxes are enough for me to feed 30,000 elite soldiers, if the Ming Dynasty can receive commercial taxes, why worry about the injustice of the north!"

Xiao Ruxun replied sideways, a pun, and Li Rusong was silent for a while after hearing it.

"Governor Xiao has a point in saying this, but ...... Governor Xiao, are you willing to tell me these things to Li Ren, that is to say, you really don't treat me as an outsider, and don't pursue our previous unpleasantness, right? ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "With my reputation guarantee, I don't care." ”

"Good!"

Li Rusong nodded: "In this case, I am relieved that Governor Xiao said this, then Governor Xiao, I, Li Rusong, will not hide it from you, Governor Xiao treats me like this, what you think, I, Li Rusong, am not stupid, naturally it is clear, what Governor Xiao wants to do, it is a matter of personal life, it is extremely dangerous, even if it is successful, it may not be able to get any benefits." ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Yes, that's true."

Li Rusong said: "Most of the people in this world are opportunistic and troubled waters, the Ming Dynasty has come to this day, it is really a cold of three feet in the freeze, not only those who are the first evil, but also countless people who help and abuse, dozens of times hundreds of times the first evil, Governor Xiao can agree?" ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "Naturally agree." ”

"A first evil is not difficult to deal with, what is difficult to deal with is hundreds of times the people who help and abuse, they rely on the power of the first evil to do nonsense in the local area, they are the biggest evil, and the number of people is unimaginable, just one Jin Party is just the beginning, there will be more and more powerful forces in the south, they are very powerful in the court, Governor Xiao, you don't understand if you are not in the court, but my father understands it very well."

Xiao Ruxun still nodded.

"Although I am not in the court, but this kind of thing except for His Majesty in the deep palace who was concealed to death, everyone else knows it in their hearts, not to say it, some places in the south of the Yangtze River have reached the point where the poor have no place to stand, I know it clearly, otherwise, I will not want to stay in Myanmar to accept landless refugees to defect, I don't want those landless displaced people to die in desperate uprisings."

Li Rusong was puzzled: "That is the case, then Governor Xiao should know very well how powerful these people are, how intricate and difficult to deal with, the local officials of the Ming Dynasty only go to the county, and the county level is all the territory of the local heroes, even Liaodong, not to mention the Central Plains and Jiangnan, Governor Xiao, you have to think clearly." ”

"Why didn't Zhang Jiangling think clearly back then?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

Li Rusong shook his head.

"It's different, it's completely different, Zhang Jiangling is in the civil office, he knows how the civil official is corrupt and how to make money, and he is also the first assistant, he has the power to open the knife to the people below, he can reformulate the rules, and then use the orthodox way to change the Ming Dynasty, and you are different, Governor Xiao, you are a military general, you are excluded, you can't do anything about it, you can only stare dryly."
