Chapter 67: Killing One Stone with One Stone

Zhixian Yamen, in the living room, Li Zicheng sat there leisurely, his whole body was filled with a proud temperament, and at the same time, he was in a good mood, but he also had some unfinished business. Tian Jianxiu and the other four sat around angrily, no longer having the usual sense of orderliness, and looked preoccupied.

Watching the muscles of the four people's faces shake from time to time, and then thinking back to their performance in the prison beheading platform, and recalling it carefully, Li Zicheng's old face couldn't help but blush slightly, fleeting, coughed dryly, and said with a little embarrassment: "Okay, okay, don't look like you are staring at each other, as if I owe you twenty-five or eighty-thousand." ”

No one responded, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Li Zicheng's face, and then he had to take a step forward and said: "It's a big deal, I'll be more restrained in the future, I'll no longer be so out of line, maintain the temperament that a superior person should have, and don't let you follow to fold face, so it's always okay, right?" Okay, don't be angry. ”

The four of them all smiled knowingly, and liked and admired Li Zicheng the most, although he was usually cynical and had a dead face, there was nothing to say. However, he never holds grudges, talks about things, listens to other people's suggestions, and has the courage to admit mistakes and takes face very lightly.

In an instant, the atmosphere was relaxed, and Li Guo made a representative speech: "Uncle~ We are not angry at what you did just now, but we feel that your promises are too hasty." At this time, we need silver taels and food, so we can recruit troops and horses, expand our strength, and at the same time defend Yuzhong City, we can expand our territory around. ”

"Yes, Boss, we all think those promises were too hasty." The other three echoed one after another, and the depressed look on their faces disappeared in an instant, turning into a thick sense of worry.

"Oh... It turns out that you are angry with me because of this, and I thought that the provocative words just now were too much. Li Zicheng showed a sudden look, and then he didn't care very much, he groaned slightly, and then said seriously: "Hey... No matter how big it is, your thinking is still too narrow-minded, some are short-sighted, and you lack a strategic vision. ”

"Uh..." The four of them were stunned, there was a feeling that they couldn't speak, every time the boss said this, the boss had a basket of crooked truths, which made everyone confused, once they refuted, the words that fought back were wave after wave, and the person who said it couldn't raise his head until he was ashamed.

However, it is undeniable that from those false truths, everyone can get enlightening prompts and make their minds more open. For example, the training method of the Peking University Battalion, the rectification of military discipline, and some physical exercises.

At this moment, Li Zicheng put on a high-ranking style, looking secretive, and seeing that everyone was suppressed by his own high-profile, he secretly rejoiced: "Hehe... It's still Grandpa Mao's set that works, strategically despising the enemy, and tactically attaching importance to the enemy. Although Tian Jianxiu and they are not enemies, this high-minded talk and very scary words can still bluff people and establish their own prestige. ”

However, Li Zicheng didn't want to think about it, what image did he have for his rogue performance today? No matter how lofty his words were, after everyone absorbed the essence of them, there was still no improvement in his obscene and rogue image.

Seeing that the four of them were stunned by themselves, Li Zicheng was just a little proud in his heart, and then continued with a generous statement: "I understand your worries, it is nothing more than that after the confiscated silver taels and grain are separated, the rest is not enough to recruit troops and horses. And the land confiscated from the bullies and the Gao family father and son, once given to the people in the city, but we have our own military discipline, we must not plunder the food of the common people. In that case, we will have no source of food in the future. ”

Tian Jianxiu and the others were surprised again, didn't the boss quite understand, how could he do such a stupid act? Without waiting for them to think deeply and guess why the boss did this, Li Zicheng's loud and confident voice sounded again.

"As the saying goes, if you can't let your children trap a wolf, and if you can't catch a hooligan, you can't catch a hooligan......"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Zicheng's tall image was immediately completely ruined, and the hooligan's temperament was exposed, making the four of them laugh, Li Zicheng didn't feel inappropriate, but reprimanded: "Laugh, what's so funny?!" Are you the boss, or am I the boss? If any of you can solve the problem of food, money, and soldiers, stand up and talk about it. Otherwise, don't interrupt my thoughts, which I have managed to sort out. ”

Suddenly, Tian Jianxiu and the others stopped smiling, not shocked by Li Zicheng's Wang Baqi, but read a lot of information from that sentence, and were deeply shocked.

At this time, what these people lack most are three things: people, money, and food. However, when the boss swore that he could solve the problem, how could everyone not be shocked and surprised? How could you still laugh?

Immediately, as if he didn't believe his ears, Wu Ruyi asked confirmatively: "Boss, what you said is true?" Can you really solve the problem of silver, food, and soldiers? ”

Immediately, Li Zicheng raised his chin and puffed up his chest, and replied very confidently: "Of course! ”

After saying two words, Li Zicheng closed his stomach again, and in order to increase his persuasiveness, he asked rhetorically: "Whenever there is such a big event, have you ever seen me joke?" Did I lie to you? ”

It was almost a knee-jerk reaction, and no one cooperated with Li Zicheng's affirmative answer, which made the latter angry. After a while, after thinking about it carefully, the four of them nodded one after another, and then replied in unison: "No~"

In such a situation, Li Zicheng laughed angrily, and was speechless, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, you will really find an opportunity to be angry with me." However, I don't remember any minor mistakes, and I don't care about you. ”

Immediately, Li Zicheng stopped being verbose, pretended to be a seller, and said straightforwardly: "Yuzhong City is so big, and it is a second-rate city at most in Lintao Mansion, how long can those silver and grain last?" What's more, we are rebelling and fighting, so what's the use of asking for land? Is it possible, do you still want to farm in Yuzhong County? Even if it is planted, whether it can wait until the day of harvest is still a matter of words. ”

Although there is a suspicion of crooked reasoning, it is a big truth. However, the four of them were not very convinced of Li Zicheng's words, they have always adhered to the boss's words, believed in them, and regarded them as classics, that is, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. What's more, that grain and silver are not mosquito meat.

Li Zicheng is not a god, so of course he can't see what they think in their hearts. However, from the attitudes of the four people, some clues were still found, and their rhetoric was not strong enough.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng said further aloud: "Looking at the entire Yuzhong County, and even the entire territory of Lintao Mansion, what is the wealth of these local tyrants and bullies in Yuzhong City? In comparison, the food they store is insignificant. ”

"If, in the name of punishing bullies, we uphold the truth of justice and get rid of the bullies in Yuzhong County, the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and the rich and unkind. Do you think we will still be short of food and silver? ”

At the same time, when punishing those who are unkind to the rich, and confiscating their property, they will distribute the fertile land to the local people, and give a little grain and silver to the people. Then, we can make a good name. When the time comes, will you still be worried about the lack of soldiers? Won't anyone join our army? ”

Suddenly, the eyes of the four of them lit up, and they were full of crystals, sweeping away the haze just now, and they became excited. I deeply know that once the boss says these things are implemented, the effect will be very great, and the harvest will be very rich!

In recent years, although natural disasters have occurred frequently in Shaanxi, wars have been raging, and the people have struggled to make a living, and there are refugees everywhere. However, land annexation is very serious, and more than half of the reason why the people suffer and cannot survive is due to this.

Therefore, although land annexation is powerful, it also means that there are many rich and large households, and the food hoarded at home is even more full of granaries. Moreover, there is a secret that is not a secret, since Zhang Juzheng's death, the reform came to an abrupt end, and people who owned a lot of land in various places began a new round of concealment of the imperial court, tax evasion, and reduction of public grain, which is no longer a secret, and few people do not know.

Therefore, as soon as they heard Li Zicheng say this, the four of them suddenly became excited, and their hearts were surging. all understand a truth in Li Zicheng's words, as long as those ordinary people get benefits and get a share of the land, how can they not support their own people?

Land is the foundation on which the peasants can gain a foothold and is the condition for the people to survive. If possible, they can fight with anyone for their land!

Thinking of this, the four of them were impressed by Li Zicheng's farsightedness and such a clever plan, completely tying the people in their sphere of influence to the chariots of themselves and others, and at the same time attracting the surrounding people.

After obtaining food and silver, he no longer worries about the soldiers, and he has played the name of a benevolent and righteous teacher, which can be said to be a lot of gains and benefits, and hidden stamina.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guo's eyes flashed, and he asked excitedly: "Uncle~ Then what should we do next?" Immediately start organizing troops to rid the villages and towns around Yuzhong City of bullies and those who are unkind to the rich? ”

Li Zicheng smiled and said heartily: "Of course! ”

Hearing this, the four of them suddenly became even more excited, and just wanted to cheer to show their joy, only to see Li Zicheng's words turn sharply: "However, not all the soldiers can be dispatched, and a maximum of three hundred people will go out every day, three hundred squads." Moreover, for the first ten days, only 200 people could go out every day. ”

The relaxed and happy atmosphere was stagnant and became much lighter, Tian Jianxiu stood up at the right time and explained in agreement: "What the boss said is right, it has only been three days since the city was conquered, and the foothold is not stable, so there must be enough troops in the city to guard the city gate while maintaining the order of the city." ”
