The allure of population growth is too great for Tian Fuzhen, in ancient agrarian societies, local population was the greatest social wealth, so population growth was the greatest achievement of a local official. And the reason why he wants to be a parent is not to promote the peace of the people? Since Li Xin can do this with the way of raising business, why should he care about the official reputation?

Li Xin shot Zhongtian Fuzhen's soft underbelly with an arrow, and he didn't worry that he would not obediently enter the body. The reason why he secretly assisted Tian Fuzhen as the prefect of Taiyuan for this year was because of Tian Fuzhen's pragmatic temperament, as long as the joint trading company was really powerful to the people, he would not cling to the etiquette of the famous religion. To put it bluntly, Li Xin has already classified Tian Fuzhen as within the scope of his own camp.

But no matter what, he secretly helped Tian Fuzhen's joint or took a risk, once the emperor thought that he had two hearts, all the previous efforts would be in vain. The reason for taking the risk here is that Li Xin is sensitive to the change in the direction of the wind in Beijing.

Just after the end of the two battles between Jingshi and Xuanfu, Li Xin already smelled a trace of unusual smell. According to the convention, after the victory of the war, the first thing for the court should be to reward and punish the merits, especially the former is more important, among which the sacrifice of prisoners to the ancestral temple is an indispensable large-scale activity, which not only stimulates the morale of the whole country, but also demonstrates the strength of the court.

But after this victory, even if he didn't make a lot of arrangements, he didn't even have an unclear attitude towards rewarding. Whether the ministers are doing the trouble, or the emperor's heart has changed, is worth pondering. If the two wars are based on fault, the so-called victory is only a matter of offsetting merit and demerit.

Among them, the first to bear the brunt is Hong Chengchou and Li Xin. Especially Li Xin, the thieves invaded the Jingshi, which can be regarded as his disadvantage in fighting the thieves in Shanxi. However, since the imperial court handled it in a low-key manner, it should not want to make this matter clear. Then, the next kinds of darkness will follow.

For example, Shanxi, especially the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture, have almost been wiped out by thieves, and the current Sanwei Army is held by the Shanxi General Military Office, which will naturally arouse unrest in the DPRK and China, and once the situation tends to be stable, the time will come to reduce power.

At that time, as long as local officials are sent to Shanxi one after another, the power that Li Xin has now achieved in a year or two will be completely suppressed. It is based on this understanding that Li Xin made a seemingly risky move to help Tian Fuzhen.

In fact, the reason why the emperor appointed Tian Fuzhen as the prefect of Taiyuan was also thanks to Tian Fuzhen's theory. Li Xin only reported the fact that Shanxi was about to face a grain shortage, and then stated Tian Fuzhen's method of governing the people and famine, and finally proposed that it was better for him to bear the thunder of a year's famine. According to common sense, the emperor was afraid of the resurgence of the displaced people due to the famine, and seven or eight times out of ten would agree to this matter blankly. The facts really confirmed Li Xin's speculation, but the fact that the ministers of the DPRK and China were able to make an unprecedented refusal to embarrass Li Xin's heart made Li Xin's heart hang, everything abnormal is a demon, and they must be playing with other ideas.

In this way, instead of passively waiting for the imperial court to send a disagreeable local official, it is better to take the initiative and choose the best outcome. Shanxi is headed by Taiyuan Mansion, and with Tian Fuzhen's resume, it is not an exaggeration to serve as Shanxi's political envoy, but it is too eye-catching, and the resistance will be great. The Taiyuan prefect is different, the official position is not obvious but the power is in hand, which is tailor-made for Tian Fuzhen.

"How to explain the war to support the merchants, but I don't know how to explain it?"

Who Dao Tian Fuzhen was discussing the shares, and even continued the words of "raising agriculture with business, and raising business with war". In fact, this is also very understandable, now Shanxi is surrounded by wars, and even the feet of the Son of Heaven such as Gyeonggi North Zhili are fighting at every turn, and the business environment has really reached a situation that cannot be worse.

However, the war will inevitably contain great business opportunities, and the salt and iron leather alone is a great expense. Of course, the so-called army did not move the grain and grass first, and in fact, more than half of the big battles were fought with grain and grass. In recent years, disasters and famines have continued in various localities, and in some places the harvest has even been out of harvest for several years, and the rations and salaries of the border troops in various localities have also been demolished to make up for the west wall, and they have been in arrears year after year.

This reason, of course, has the factor of a recession in a disaster year, but what is more severe is a man-made disaster, as mentioned before, the court spent a sum of money, and the real can be implemented, less than 12 out of 10, this is the cruel status quo faced by the imperial court.

Tian Fuzhen listened to Li Xin one by one, but the more frightened he became, Li Xin's appetite was so big that it was unimaginable, could it be that he still wanted to replace the household department to take the army's military rations together? It's just whimsical.

Just when Tian Fuzhen repeatedly expressed the incredibleness of this idea, Li Xin smiled and said: "It's man-made, if you don't try, how can you know if it's whimsical?" Don't forget, once the high-yield crop of Yumai is popularized, even places with many mountainous areas such as Shanxi can greatly increase their annual output, not to mention Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places where the land is already fertile."

Watching Tian Fuzhen detain the prefect's seal heavily on the equity contract, Li Xin teased: "With this seal, the mansion will have tens of millions of family assets in the future, and it is really a no-capital transaction that makes money and does not lose money!" ”

Tian Fuzhen rolled his eyelids: "Tian is counted as your thief ship!" ”

"Lord Tian, you are on the thief ship alone, and you can exchange millions of people for living and working in peace and contentment, which really makes Li Xin admire!"

Tian Fuzhen did not refute Li Xin's ridicule, and said seriously: "The prefect's seal can be stamped, but Tian can't buy shares, otherwise it will really make people in the world think that Tian is for the tens of millions of family assets......"

"You say tens of millions of family assets? Isn't this a country that rivals richness? The general's Spring and Autumn penmanship is really comparable to that of a writer and a celebrity. ”

How do you know that Li Xin smiled with a strange expression: "When do you think Li Xin said big things?" Please also stamp the private seal! ”

"At the moment, how can it not be a big deal? You only need to cash in that year, if the population of Taiyuan Mansion can grow, it will not be in vain for Tian to stamp the official seal of the prefect. As for the family resources, Hugh has to mention it again! ”

Li Xin didn't force it, and after Tian Fuzhen finished signing, he packed it up and turned around to leave. Tian Fuzhen felt lost, such a big battle, could it be that he only needed one of his official seals?

"Hey, the general stays, and Tian still needs to do something, even if he is told!"

If it is really in his position, if others want to do nothing, this Tian Fuzun, who has just taken office, took the initiative to find trouble.

"Don't worry, just follow the steps, in the future, you will never have to worry about the adults, don't be annoyed by then!"

Tian Fuzhen laughed: "Speaking of which, Tian is still afraid that the general will not come to make noise!" ”

Shanxi town guard general military palace is located outside the south gate of the inner city, is a house in the thief chaos is still intact, Li Xin has just returned to the house with the front foot, and the servants of the Jin Wangfu have arrived, and they are actually giving gifts to Li Xin.

A box of brocade gold and silver, and some for home life. The so-called servant was actually a eunuch in the palace of the King of Jin, who sang the salute one by one, and quietly pulled Li Xin in front of him, and took out something from his arms, which was actually a splendid sachet.

"The county lord specially instructed our family to hand over this thing to the general!"

Li Xin took the sachet, but when he felt that the breath of fragrant fragrance lingered in his nose, he suddenly understood that this was the county lord's teases, since he already belonged to Huang Yu, how could he provoke her again? He resolutely stuffed the sachet back into the eunuch's hand.

The eunuch's face immediately changed, but Li Xin ignored it and said to himself:

"The county lord Meiyi Li Xinling, please ask my father-in-law to convey it on behalf of Li Xin!"

As for those gold and silver gifts, Li Xin also made his soldiers carry them out one by one, which was indeed very rude, but Li Xin couldn't think of a more suitable way to deal with it for a while.

The eunuch of the Jin Palace's palace returned to the inner city with a disgraced face and a gift, which was a small episode, but for some reason it spread throughout the city in just one afternoon. The content of the transmission made Li Xin cry and laugh, and only then did he really understand how the world regarded him and the county lord.

"What? Cow eggs, how do you spread them in the market? ”

Lu Jiu didn't say what he heard when he was killed, and the soldiers of the General Military Mansion were also taken care of, and any unfavorable words against the general were not allowed to be exported, because Li Xin had always been concealed to death.

But the people outside the General Army's Mansion were always unrestrained, including Tian Fuzhen, who scolded Li Xin with a split head and face, which had never happened before. Li Xin was inexplicable and asked Tian Fuzhen why he was like this, and then he learned how the rumors about him were there.

What is chaotic and abandoned, ruthless and unjust, openly repentant marriage, and so on.

Li Xin never expected that his personal problems would cause an uproar in the city, and even affect his reputation. In ancient times, the reputation of officials was the most important, especially with such a ruthless and unrighteous label, everyone would only avoid him anywhere.

Li Xin realized the severity of the problem, but Tian Fuzhen had no valuable information to provide, after all, he was also heard by the prefect.

Niu Dan looked at Lu Jiu again, and Li Xin finally told the truth he heard from the market.

"It's rumored outside that the general dislikes and dislikes the county lord...... Lose...... Out of Touch...... Yes...... Intentionally repentant of marriage, say...... Saying that the general is unkind and unrighteous is a negative ......" Niu Dan stammered and said intermittently, but Li Xin still understood the approximate understanding, which was roughly not much different from what he understood.

"Nonsense!"

Lu Jiu next to him was angry, jumped up from the chair, and slapped the table, "Which kind of rumor is this kind of stupid talk, Lu Jiu will go and arrest all the rumors and put them in prison." ”

Li Xin hurriedly stopped it, spreading rumors is not a crime, but because of this, he arrested people indiscriminately, doesn't that confirm the rumors in the market, and be a thief?

Lu Jiu sat back on the chair angrily and said nothing!
