Chapter 48: Reward

Chapter 48 Reward

After a contest of words, the reward was finally discussed.

Li Kuangshou added the title of Li Cunhuan to the official rank, and the rank of Zhongwu General was the fourth rank, and the rank of Captain of the Light Army. In addition, Li Kuangshou also rewarded Li Cunhuan with a large number of materials, but in fact, it was what Li Cunhuan seized from the Khitans. He then rewarded 5,000 horses of cloth from his own treasury, but because of the fault of Li Cunhuan's lax majesty, half of it was deducted, that is, 2,500 horses. A discerning person knew at a glance that Li Kuangshou did not have so many cloth rewards, so he found this excuse.

Otherwise, a royal is not strict, where to use a button on 2,500 pieces of cloth, at that time an ordinary cloth is equivalent to three or four dollars, and the best cloth is equivalent to five dollars. These 2,500 pieces of cloth were equivalent to more than 8,000 pieces of gold, and when converted into grain, they were equivalent to 18,000 stones. At the same time, the people under Li Cunhuan also have their own rewards.

However, at this time, Yang Zhongping suddenly took a step forward. When Lu Yu saw it, he immediately knew that this guy was a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and he had bad intentions. But there is no way to stop it, only to be in a hurry.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Zhongping spoke, Lu Yu felt bad.

Yang Zhongping lightly throated and said to Li Kuangshou with a solemn look: "In the past, it was said that the marshal had just arrived with General Li Cunxiao, and he did not make any contributions, so it was not good to divide the land of a state with General Li Cunxiao. Now that the Khitan people have suffered heavy losses, why don't we build a new state outside Gubeikou and relocate tens of thousands of Henan refugees to this place, so that it can become a state, and also settle the heart of General Li Cunxiao. At the same time, he can also be taught that he can't do without the help of our Lu Long. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhongping paused for a moment, and then said: "We can also move the people from Xingzhou first. This is also convenient for General Li Cunxiao to manage. ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he was shocked. Yang Zhongping: This is a strategy for differentiation. In this way, Li Cunxiao and Li Cunhuan were divided into two people, and Li Cunhuan's strength became much weaker. But before he could come up with any solution, Li Kuangshou over there had already nodded after a little pondering and said: "In this way, allocate 100,000 displaced people to open up wasteland, this state is called Beiwu Prefecture, which means the state of martial arts in the north, and in the future, I will be Lu Longduo outside the land!" ”

Lu Yu saw that the raw rice had been cooked and cooked, so he had no choice but to ask Li Kuangshou for benefits instead of Li Cunhuan. "In this way, I am afraid that a large number of agricultural tools will be needed to reclaim wasteland, and a large number of weapons will be used to prevent attacks by the Khitans and others, and it may be inconvenient to transport them from Youzhou. It is better to allow Danzhou to mine iron ore and control iron smelting. Moreover, Danzhou transferred so many people at once, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient, otherwise it would be better to transfer 30,000 displaced people from the south to replenish it! ”

Li Kuangshou also felt that he was doing this, and he was a little sorry for Li Cunhuan, so he nodded after a moment and said, "Well, just what Mr. An Lu said." But 30,000 homeless people is too much, just 20,000 homeless! ”

Lu Yu didn't say anything more, and gave up.

When the reward reached Danzhou, Li Cunhuan couldn't imagine that Yang Zhongping would come up with such a desperate plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle. But it was too late to save it, so I sighed helplessly, and I had to knock out my teeth once and swallow it in my stomach.

However, Li Cunhuan felt fortunate that Li Cunxiao led a large army to sweep the Khitan tribe in the upper reaches of the Baichao River, capturing 30,000 Khitans, nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep, and 20,000 horses.

Li Cunhuan distributed 10,000 horses and 30,000 cattle and sheep to Li Cunxiao. Li Cunhuan was very economically conscious, he settled 30,000 Khitan people on the west side of Danzhou Lake, where is an undeveloped land, let them graze, and sent people to teach them farming. Those men, Li Cunhuan gathered, plus a total of 8,000 captives in Coyote Mountain, Li Cunhuan can count on them to mine for himself.

However, it is clear that this cannot be done now, because the war has not been long in coming, and the ground has already fallen with heavy snow. The cold air made people only willing to rest at home, and Li Cunhuan was originally going to let the soldiers train in the winter, but found that the soldiers not only resisted, but also almost mutinied. Li Cunhuan also felt that if he didn't have enough nutrition and warmth, he was afraid that he would also die of cold and hurt many soldiers, and in the end, he didn't force it. In fact, I can't force it.

Looking at the snow that had begun to melt, Li Cunhuan couldn't help but show a smile on his face. Now that he can start his construction plan, Li Cunhuan turned around and instructed Sha Yuke beside him: "Hurry up and call the two gentlemen, Chen Changfeng and Changsun Chengliang, to come over!" Oh, by the way, call Wu Bifu's old slippery head! ”

Chen Changfeng and the eldest grandson Chengliang soon came to Li Cunhuan's Assassin's Mansion, in fact, their homes were on the street of Assassin's Mansion, which was very close, in fact, the homes of important officials in Danzhou were placed on this street. Wu Bifu is out, and it is estimated that it will take a while to be able to rush back.

Li Cunhuan didn't wait for Wu Bifu, called Chen Changfeng and the two of them to the study. Li Cunhuan's study is very clean, or it can be said to be very simple, a Taishi chair, a somewhat shabby wooden table, a bookshelf with only seven or eight books, and a set of four treasures of the study that do not seem to be worthy of Li Cunhuan's identity.

Li Cunhuan called the two of them in, and found that there seemed to be no place for the two of them to sit, so he couldn't help but bow his hand to the two of them with some embarrassment, and said, "Wait a minute, two gentlemen, see that I, a rough person, have forgotten to do things." Come on, move two quickly, oh no! It's three chairs coming! Hurry up! ”

Chen Changfeng and eldest grandson Chengliang smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Soon the chair moved in, and when the next person left, Li Cunhuan immediately said: "I am going to implement a big reform in Danzhou, no!" It should be a reproduction of some of the previous systems, but I don't know if it can be done well. I don't want to learn from Wang Mang, draw a tiger and become an anti-dog, and finally lose thousands of miles. ”

Chen Changfeng and Changsun Chengliang glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They all understand the meaning of Li Cunhuan's words, but any major change will touch the interests of some people, and it will be very dangerous if it is not handled properly. For example, during the Warring States Period, the Seven Kingdoms changed the law, and in the end, the Qin State was able to implement it. And few of these people who change the law have a good end. Shang Ying was torn apart by a car, and Wu Qi was shot by random arrows.

The eldest grandson Chengliang pondered for a moment, and then said tactfully: "The lord will come out first, and we will decide how to implement it after taking a closer look, otherwise I am afraid that something bad will happen." ”
