Chapter 208: Sichuan Officialdom

Li Yibai is discussing some countermeasures with Long Wu and the high master in Sichuan. ∮

I heard the guard say that the God of Wealth asked to see him. He said, 'Let him in.' ’

After a while, the East God of Wealth came in.

When he saw Li Yibai, his body was already dirty.

Li Yibai also saw that his journey was difficult.

I was about to walk over and say a word of comfort.

Unexpectedly, he knelt on the ground with a pop.

'Grass people Li Youcai, meet the king of Wu, the king of Wu is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old. ’

Li Yibai hurriedly walked over to him and said with a smile, "Li Yuanwai, it's been hard all the way. Hurry up, please. ’

This is the first time that Dongcaishen and Li Yibai have met. Both sides were surprised by the other.

The Eastern God of Wealth surprised Li Yibai that he was young and promising, and he was a talent.

Li Yibai was surprised by the God of Wealth, who was scheming and calculating, solid and capable.

'The grass people are guilty, and the grass people dare not rise. 'The God of Wealth knew that he had to show extreme sincerity to save his life.

Li Yibai smiled faintly, "What are you guilty of?" ’

The Eastern God of Wealth lowered his head and blamed himself, "The grass people once acted with King Wu, and they also sent killers to assassinate King Wu. The grass people deserve death. ’

Li Yibai laughed, "You get up." I forgive you. At the beginning, you and I were competitors. It's human nature for you to hate me, but you are indeed very responsible for murdering me. But now, I need your help, and you have the sincerity to surrender. And I forgive you for your sins. ’

Hearing this, the Eastern God of Wealth breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a stone fell to the ground. He stood up tremblingly. 'The grass people will be loyal to King Wu in the future, and they will die for King Wu. to repay the kindness of King Wu. ’

Li Yibai waved his hand. 'Seriously. I will need your help in the future. By the way, you're so dirty, let's go change clothes with my subordinates first. After a while, we will have a meal together and discuss the affairs of Sichuan. ’

Li Youcai followed his subordinates to take a bath, changed his clothes, and then came to the living room, and Li Yibai personally got up and invited him to sit down.

Li Yibai's actions moved him a lot. 'King Wu, this is absolutely reluctant. You are the Ninety-Five. Bestowed with nine tins. I'm just a grass people, with no merit or virtue, how can I be on an equal footing with you. ’

Li Yibai laughed, "Outside Li Yuan, don't be polite in the future." You are all heroes. As the lord, what is it to sit on an equal footing with the heroes. This is my son Ryugo, you know. He's been with you before. This is an elevator, and he built all the roads in Lin'an, and he built the power supply in Lin'an. ’

Li Youcai said politely, "Look up for a long time." Fifth Young Master Long is really abandoning the dark and turning to the light, and he is very smart. I think I forced him to choose a side line back then. I didn't expect him to hesitate. I'd rather sacrifice my business than walk with King Wu. This kind of insight is really admirable to the old man. The old man didn't have that vision at the time. ’

Li Yibai smiled again. This is different, you were the biggest businessman in Jiangnan at that time. Ryugo is still a medium-sized businessman after all. Of course you don't want to condescend to me at that time. But it's not too late. Our great new Song Dynasty career has just begun. You have a lot to do in the future. Come to eat and drink. ’

The three of them clinked glasses.

The reason why Li Yibai asked the elevator to come over to discuss things was that he saw that the elevator was deeply influenced by the concept of modern society, and he was helpful in solving the problems in Sichuan. As for Xiaoqiang, Lu Zhishen and the others, they are too reckless and will only act rashly, and they can't come up with a result when they come to discuss it.

Li Yibai drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass and said, "Now we are in trouble in Sichuan. A strong man named Zhou Qiang in Sichuan actually sent barbarians to rob our gold mines. Gold is an important currency for us to buy supplies in the United States. We can't do without gold. ’

Li Youcai said, 'This Zhou Qiang is so bold, doesn't he know that the gold mine belongs to King Wu?' King Wu, I know the Western God of Wealth in Sichuan, and he gave me some thin noodles. I'll tell him and ask him to help you settle Zhou Qiang. ’

Li Yibai waved his hand, "This Zhou Qiang knows that I am King Wu." He dared not to buy my account directly. He will definitely not be afraid of the God of Western Wealth.

The point is that he took advantage of the barbarians. The barbarians regard death as home, and they don't eat hard and soft, which is very difficult to do. ’

Long Wudao, 'We have guns. Last time we also equipped the Guards with a lot of guns. Coupled with the powerful force of our Guardian Regiment, how could we be afraid of those barbarians. ’

Li Yibai shook his head, "Of course it's easy to kill them. But they were only used by Zhou Qiang. I don't want to kill them indiscriminately. If they had heard my advice. If we can settle Zhou Qiang, it is better to kill less. Think of the barbarians, all of whom are savage. We killed them. Their people will surely take revenge. This revenge is endless. Unless we kill them all.

If we are too murderous, it is really not suitable for our reform of Sichuan. For the complex geographical and cultural environment of Sichuan, we can only use more heart-attacking techniques and try to kill as little as possible. ’

Li Youcai exclaimed, "That's right. Sometimes this mental trick is used well, and it is obviously cheaper than using it. ’

The high master laughed and said, "Li Yuanwai is really a shrewd businessman, what can be calculated. ’

Li Yibai asked Li Youcai again, "Li Yuanwai, how about you give me a countermeasure." ’

Li Youcai smiled faintly and said, "Since King Wu thinks so highly of himself. Then I'll just say it. We should capture the thief and capture the king first, and catch Zhou Qiang first. forced Zhou Qiang to persuade the barbarians to retreat.

If you can't catch Zhou Qiang. Let's study the preferences of the barbarians. We ask them to believe in people or things. Especially the wizards who bought them. I think Zhou Qiang may have used wizards to cause them to be able to command the barbarians.

If you can't use wizards, you can't do it. Then we will arrest the leader of the barbarians. They love surrender in every way, and they can do anything for the sake of the leader.

We exhort the chiefs to surrender. If the leader does not listen. We can use Zhuge Liang's method of seven captures and seven verticals to move him with sincerity. Naturally, they will repay us and retreat.

If all three of these strategies fail. Let's kill and solve it. ’

After listening to Li Youcai's words. Li Yibai applauded. 'Good. Li Yuanwai is really smart. This strategy is well-thought, and the top strategy is put in the front, and the lower strategy is placed in the back. It is really not easy for Li Yuanwai to be able to run rampant in Jiangnan for decades. I think I'll do what you do. ’

Two days later, Li Yibai organized a group of guards and went to Sichuan to fight Zhou Qiang.

Those who went were Li Youcai, Long Wu, and Gao Chengshi.

The Guards Regiment brought a hundred men, but all of them had guns. There are not many soldiers in themselves, but in the fine. The combat strength of these 100 people is equivalent to several thousand. In addition, with guns, it is equivalent to the combat power of tens of thousands of people.

And the barbarians are only 200 people.

Haoqiang Zhou Qiang estimated that there were only a hundred people. Together, there were only 300 of them.

When the yacht arrived in Yibin, everyone got off the boat. Li Yibai set up camp next to the natural gas field. He first sent people to order the surrounding magistrates to come to the court.

The prefect of Yibin, the prefect of Chengdu, the prefect of Mianyang, the prefect of Luzhou, etc., all rushed to come.

Li Yibai reprimanded him in person, the prefect of Yibin. 'How can there be such a chaotic party in your place?' ’

The prefect of Yibin didn't dare to offend Li Yibai, as long as he complained, 'This Zhou Qiang has a huge force, and there are two hundred thugs. The garrison of my prefect is only 300 people, and its combat effectiveness is not as high as theirs at all. The place where he lived was surrounded by mountains, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

He usually goes in and out freely, and he harms the people, and we have no choice. ’

Hmph, it's just a quibble. You're not doing it with all your heart. Are you in a gang with Zhou Qiang? Li Yibai rebuked again.

'King Wu has been wronged. Xia Guan is not. Xia Guan is just helpless. The Yibin prefect kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Li Yibai could see at a glance that he was just a mediocre official who could get by, but he was just messing around in the local area. This kind of person can't be used at all, 'You tell the old man and go home.'" ’

The Yibin prefect was dumbfounded. At the same time, the other magistrates were frightened into a cold sweat.

At the same time, Li Yibai announced that Zhou Qiang was wanted in Sichuan, and if Zhou Qiang was caught, or provided important clues, he would be rewarded with 500 taels of silver.

After several magistrates returned, they had a lot of discussions about where to pacify the envoys on Sichuan Road.

Especially the Yibin prefect who was dismissed. 'Pacify the Lord. This King Wu doesn't take you seriously at all. I'm your man. You were dismissed with a word. Besides, the official inspection in Sichuan, that's your business. What is he Li Yibai, even if he is the prime minister, he can't do this here. It should also wait for the decree of the imperial court to come down. And here it should be up to you. ’

The Sichuan pacification envoy and officials throughout Sichuan did not yet know about Cai Jing's rebellion.

The ancient news was blocked, and it took a month for Cai Jing to report the rebellion to Sichuan by the imperial court. They are not Li Yibai who has a yacht and can be so fast.

That's right. This Li Yibai really didn't take our Sichuan officials seriously. We can't give him lightness either. We'll be sure to give him little shoes to wear. Otherwise, we would not be allowed to be bullied. ’

Sichuan's pacification envoy relied on the sky high and the emperor was far away, and he has always been used to being wanton. This doesn't take the prime minister seriously.

The prefect of Chengdu said, 'That's right. Isn't it just a prime minister? There are more than a dozen prime ministers in the court, and they are not people who have changed overnight. The emperor will not only trust him Li Yibai. Maybe in two days, it will be replaced. We don't have to be afraid of him at all. ’

The prefect of Luzhou said, 'I have no opinion, I will listen to the appeasement of the lord." ’

The appeaser laughed, 'Okay. Tomorrow, we will not issue Zhou Qiang's wanted warrant. I think he Li Yibai can help me. Look at his attitude yesterday. The officials in Sichuan who were anxious didn't even greet me. It's so unreasonable.

Since he doesn't take me seriously. Then I don't need to treat him well.

Originally, they were all mixed in officialdom. Who is afraid of whom. ’

Many of the officials said, 'Yes. Pacify your Excellency, we support you. If Li Yibai dares to dismiss you. Then we will write to the court together to protect you. I don't believe he can shake our Sichuan officialdom. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
