Li Jing's new mansion is in Taipingfang, which was rewarded to Li Jing by Li Xin, and when Li Xin arrived at the mansion of the Marquis of Dingbei, Li Jing led the red whisk girl and several sons to greet him under the dripping eaves.

"Brother Jing, I'm here to ask for advice today." The backyard of Li Jing's house is not a garden, but a huge school field, with all kinds of weapons on the school field, and some war horses, Li Xin and Li Jing walked on the path, Li Xin said Xiao Yu's words again, and said: "Brother Jing is afraid that he will not stay at home for long, I have decided to seize the land of the Bashu granary, and this trip must be Brother Jing." ”

"The prime minister is ready to let Xiao Yu cooperate with me?" Li Jinghu's eyes flickered, looking at Li Xin, he was surprised that Li Xin was able to move Xiao Yu to help him.

"Yes, the general is in charge of the military, Xiao Yu sits in the rear, not only to prepare grain and grass for the army, but also to be responsible for the stability and safety of the rear, Xiao Yu is a Jiangnan family, is the former Liang royal family, and is also very prestigious in the court, he went to Bashu, I am also relieved." Li Xin nodded and said: "Actually, to capture Bashu, two people can make a move, Xiao Yujian should make a move, it is best to seize Nanyang." Brother Jing also knows that Nanyang is a volcano, and if we don't get it right, we will have a big battle with Wang Shichong and Li Mi. If we do it here, Li Yuan may not be able to wait to go south to Hedong, and the Guanlong family will flock out, and everyone will take action together and bury us all. ”

"Haha, Prime Minister, I'm afraid you misunderstood Xiao Yu's meaning." After Li Jing heard this, he said: "Prime Minister, Xiao Yu wants us to move, but it is definitely not to move Nanyang, or rather, it is just to lure the Guan Long family to make a move. As long as the prime minister leaves Chang'an, these people will make a move, and even if Guan Long Time gives them more benefits, someone will make a move. ”

"This matter is very important, and I don't dare to take it lightly." Li Xin was silent for a while. Shaking his head and said: "Brother Jing, we are actually enemies on all sides now, some time ago Lin Xingcang sent a letter saying that Liang Shidu invaded Lingzhou, although he was defeated, but he did not dare to guarantee that he would defeat Liang Shidu next time, this Liang division is backed by the Turks, and invades the south from time to time, most of our military forces are gathered in Guanzhong, and Liangzhou has not many troops, even if it is Lingzhou." It's only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the Liang division will probably attack Lingzhou only at one point; Let's not talk about Li Yuan in the north, and Wang Shichong is all eyeing on the side! ”

"Is the prime minister worried that after we capture Nanyang, we will fall into the quagmire of war?" After Li Jing listened, he immediately understood Li Xin's worries, Li Xin was preparing to seize Bashu this time, of course, in order to seize the granary of Bashu, but also in order to gain more strategic depth, once the pass was lost. He can rely on Liangzhou and Bashu to continue to turnover.

"Yes, don't look at Wang Shichong's current battle with Li Mi, but once we attack Nanyang, the two of them will immediately unite. Deal with us. Li Xin said confidently: "One-on-one, I'm not afraid, but one-to-two, or even one-to-three." To four, we are not opponents yet, and my strength has not yet reached that time. ”

"Since it's all about luring snakes out of their holes. Why don't you choose an easier one? Li Jing said with a smile: "As the prime minister said, Nanyang is a volcano, and it can't be moved lightly, so how about dealing with an even more hateful one, Liang Shidu?" ”

"Attack Liang Shidu?" Li Xin's face was confused for a while.

"First, the Liang division colluded with the Turks and invaded the land of our Lingzhou from time to time, which would bring huge losses to our army; Second, the Turks are certainly very strong, but they were defeated by our army and suffered heavy losses, we are attacking now, even if the Turks want to retaliate, I am afraid they will need to wait for a while, third, there is not much time from Honghua to Jingshi, if Li Yuan really dares to attack, we can immediately return to the division to the bank of the Yellow River, or even cross the Yellow River and invade Hedong; Fourth, there is only one Liang Shidu, and it has nothing to do with Wang Shichong and Li Mi, so they will not be involved, and we can also show the two of them that we have no intention of Kanto, just let them fight each other. Li Jing carefully recounted to Li Xin the benefits of attacking Liang Shidu.

"When Brother Jing said this, I understood most of it." Li Xin applauded and said: "When I go back, I will give those families some benefits first, even if I can't let them completely join us, we must temporarily stabilize these people, or divide them." lest these guys really make trouble and damage our Chang'an City. Brother Jing, thank you for your guidance today, I have exhausted me during this time, and I can't wait to break it into two to use. One went out to the battlefield, and the other stayed in Chang'an City! ”

"The big families are just interests, if the prime minister gives up some benefits, these big families will definitely take the bait." Li Jing knew that Li Xin had a lot of money in his hands, whether it was papermaking, printing or winemaking, it was all making money every day, and Jin Yan was even more so, selling well all over the world.

"Brother Jing, after seizing Bashu, let's be a Xinyi County Prince!" Li Xin looked at Li Jing and said. The Duke of Xinyi County is the title of Li Jing's uncle Han Baohu, when Han Baohu was born, it was inherited by Han Shige, but unfortunately this guy and Yang Xuangan were mixed together, and after Yang Xuangan's defeat, Han Shige disappeared without a trace, probably thinking that he was ashamed of Han Baohu. This time, Li Xin wants to crown Li Jing as the prince of Xinyi County, which is an honor.

Li Jing was very moved after hearing this, the title is nothing to Li Jing, but the title of the Duke of Xinyi County still makes him very happy, this is an honor on behalf of him, and his merits can be compared with his uncle Han Baohu.

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Li Jing's long beard trembled.

"You and my brother don't have to be polite, if you can get Brother Jing's words today, this time it will not be in vain." Li Xin said with a smile: "Well, Brother Jing, I gave Brother Jing 50,000 troops, I don't know that Brother Jing may give me the land of Bashu?" ”

"I don't know who the deputy is?" Li Jing thought for a while and said.

"The officers and men in the army are at the mercy of Brother Jing." Li Xin said without thinking.

"The four generals Qin Qiong, Guo Xiaoke, Wang Junkuo, and Pei Yuanqing are enough." Li Jing said unwillingly.

"Yes." Li Xin said: "Ten days, give the general ten days to reorganize the army, prepare grain and grass, and after ten days, I will personally send Brother Jing out on the expedition." What does Brother Jing think? ”

"The last will obey." Li Jing said in a deep voice.

Li Xin left Li Jing's mansion, since he decided to make a move on Bashu, Li Xin had to make all kinds of arrangements, whether it was soldiers, horses, money and grain, or conscription and conscription, etc., all of them had to move, the soldiers and horses did not enter, the grain and grass went first, and it was like this at all times, fortunately, Li Xin had Changping and Guangtong warehouses in his hands, and even there was grain in Yongfeng warehouse, so Li Xin's courage was so big, and he dared to start to act on Bashu when his foothold was not stable.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates have seen Prime Minister." Dou Yi walked into the Wude Hall for the first time, although he now has a lot of money, but it is the first time he has walked into the palace, looking at the surrounding golden and brilliant layout, Dou Yi couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth.

"What's the matter, the richest man in Chang'an is also afraid?" Li Xin looked at the anxious Dou Yi, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to the brocade stool on the side and said: "Sit down, you also know, although I have been in Chang'an for half a year, but in the end, it is a guest army, and those family lords in Guanzhong are eager to take my life at any time and drive us out of Guanzhong, so I have not contacted you." ”

"The prime minister has every opportunity, and his subordinates understand." Dou Yi hurriedly said. He was so grateful to Li Xin that he could not blame him.

"You are the God of Wealth of my Tang Palace! The Lone King doesn't dare to offend you. Li Xin quipped: "The courtiers and all kinds of military expenses will also be taken away from you!" ”

"Prime minister, subordinate, subordinate." Dou Yi knelt down violently, and his frightened forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Get up, get up, I'm kidding you." Li Xin didn't expect that Dou Yi didn't even have the gene to joke, so he quickly helped him up and said, "Hehe, I asked you to come this time to tell you, there are some things that we can't all grasp in our hands, it's time to give something to others." Only when everyone makes money together, will more people follow you. Dou Yi, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Prime Minister." Dou Yi was relieved when he heard this, he thought that Li Xin was going to cut off the power in his hands and drive him out of the Tang Palace! At this time, when I heard that I was going to split the property in my hand and divide these things among others, my heart was a little nervous. You must know that what Dou Yi has in his hands now is a lot of money that can be earned.

"Although the Guan Long family is hostile to us, but now I need to win them over, at least, I need to win over some of them, you know?" Li Xin advised: "In fact, we only need to grasp the source of it, papermaking, we need to master the way of papermaking, how to sell, how much to sell regardless of our business, printing, we will send out the printing technology, just charge a fee, let them all participate in it, so that the overall price can be reduced, so that more people can buy the cheapest books, brocade salt, we also only need to master the way of refining, and the rest will be handed over to other families, so that we can gather all our strength." and dig up more salt. Got it? ”

Li Xin's move is not only to win over those Guanlong families who are willing to take refuge in him, but also because Li Xin has now gotten rid of the previous period of working alone, and he needs to bind a group of people in order to separate the Guanlong family, so that he can make his strength stronger and go farther and farther.
