"Think about it, if you have such a powerful legion, the number of which is still 30,000, can Your Majesty rest assured? I'm afraid that if you don't take your military power, you will be a nail in Your Majesty's heart in the future, which will make Your Majesty sleep, maybe Your Majesty is magnanimous, but sooner or later, you will also be suspicious because of this matter. This is something that cannot be avoided by every emperor, and it is not allowed for generals to support their own troops. ”

Zhong Liwu said in a deep voice: "I know this, it's just ......"

"I haven't finished speaking, besides, Your Majesty's previous arrangement did not exclude you, the three of you are still in charge of a legion, and you are still guarding Pingyuan County with General Bai, when there is a war, it must be General Bai who is fully responsible for commanding, you think about it, those soldiers are also in your army, and General Bai will still arrange for you to lead the army at that time, is this Your Majesty squeezing you?"

Han Kuangrui and Zhong Liwu seemed to realize this, and if they really wanted to fight, they would command it, and when they divided the troops, they would naturally be in command.

Lin Xiangru continued: "Three generals, and another one, in fact, many generals in my new country have surrendered, and Your Majesty still treats them equally, you can rest assured of this, for example, General Yang, that archer, is to take refuge in the new country, and that General Hu also took refuge in the new country in the war, and the emperor of my new country is still entrusted with important tasks, and you are naturally the same." ”

While speaking, Lin Xiangru picked up the wine glass again: "Come, have a drink first." ”

Zhong Liwu drank a glass of wine, and Lin Xiangru said unhurriedly: "One more thing, although Your Majesty's reward is not big today, but there are many opportunities, General Hao Meng, do you know?" ”

Han Kuangrui shook his head.

"I don't know it's normal, General Hao is now just an ordinary captain-level general in the army, originally he was also the commander of the enemy country before, but he still holds important positions, which means that he has made more meritorious contributions. When the general trend is today, the war is continuous, and the new country rarely has a chance to breathe, but it may not be much, and there will be another war when the time comes. ”

"That's right, thank you Prime Minister for solving our doubts."

Lin Xiangru smiled and said: "I am also for the new country, otherwise you will have a pimple in your heart, and don't compete with General Hu, he goes straight to the point, and Lang Zhongling, he likes to talk with his fists, but he is a very good person." ”

Han Kuangrui nodded.

At this time, Ren Tian was in the imperial study, looking at Su Shi.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounds.

"Ding, Zhong Li's loyalty has been increased by 10 points, and the current loyalty is 70 points; Han Kuangrui's loyalty has increased by 10 points, and his current loyalty is 71 points; Gao Wei's loyalty has increased by 10 points, and it is now 70 points. ”

This system prompt sound made Ren Tian feel a little strange in his heart, why did the loyalty of the three of Zhong Liwu suddenly increase?

This can be regarded as Lin Xiang's similar skills in play.

Humility: In order to avoid falling out of harmony, Lin Xiangru will avoid forbearance in the face of the dissatisfaction and humiliation of the generals, so as to win the favor of some generals, or occasionally enhance their loyalty to the country.

To put it simply, Lin Xiangru can increase the loyalty of military commanders.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Mi County?"

Ren Tian smiled: "Zizhan, why not?" ”

Su Shi was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it's not impossible, it's just that you are a golden body, in case something happens......"

"Don't worry about this, you don't want to reveal the information of that immortal talent, then I can only visit in person, there is no way, Zizhan, there are not enough talents in the new country, and there are fewer government talents than the other, if there is no Pingyuan County, it is barely enough, but with Pingyuan County, the territory of the new country has been doubled, and it is impossible for the position of the Pingyuan County to be really vacant, right?"

Su Shi couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Majesty, but I really don't know what his name is, and he didn't reveal it." ”

"It's okay, I'll come with you."

"Well, then, when does Your Majesty want to go?"

"Just wait, you should be able to see you in the afternoon, Zizhan can accompany me to dinner."

Su Shi couldn't refuse, so he could only sit down and accompany Ren Tian to start having breakfast together.

Ren Tian pulled Su Shi again, chatted a lot about literature, and at the same time had experience in governing the county.

"Your Majesty, the minister has seen it when he passed through Ping County before, the distance between Ping County and Nan County is very close, and now Nan County is expanding the city, and the scope of Nan County is also very close to Ping County, I am afraid that the next time Nan County expands, it will be bordered by Ping County, Your Majesty should consider merging Ping County into South County? In this way, the expansion of Nanxian County can be accelerated, and the additional expenses of Pingxian County can also be saved. ”

Ren Tian nodded: "It's feasible." ”

After finishing the meal, Ren Tian called the little eunuch, took Su Shi, and set off directly.

It was already afternoon, but because it was almost winter, there were many fewer pedestrians on the road after leaving the city gate from the east of the city, and the rice fields in the distance along the official road were all harvested, and there were no children playing, and many trees on the road were already bare.

However, there are still a lot of vehicles on the official road, from Nanxian to Pingxian, from Pingxian to Nanxian, after all, in China, some private industries, such as hotels, cloth villages, will also transport many things.

On the other side, Tian Dan immediately took Meng Ben with him, and he had already arrived at the Qinglong Pass and went straight to Pingyuan County.

"General Tian, why do you want to bring me?"

Meng Ben was a little confused, and Tian Dan didn't squint: "It may be that looking at Langzhong makes you stronger." ”

At the same time, the new foundation project recruitment announcement, also all released, spread to the county seats, and the next year is to carry out the construction of various infrastructure projects, road repair and water conservancy projects, these are the two most important points.

In the water county of Hejian County, it is very busy and lively, and there are still ships unloading at the repaired wharf.

"Hurry up!"

Coolies carrying goods are coming and going on the wharf, there are boats full of goods next to them, there are many soldiers standing guard outside the city in the distance, all the way to the city gate, all the way to the city gate, there are many craftsmen working along the coast, a beacon tower with a height of more than five meters stands there, there is already a silhouette, and the bamboo scaffolding around it is about to be dismantled.

The weather was a little cold, and some cargo ships that were about to depart were parked on the shore.

Several of the scouts of the new kingdom dressed in cloth and came to the ship.

"Boatman, where are you going?"

"Go to the Dragon Country."

"Dragon Country?"

"Hey, it's not far away, it's in Xihejian County, you guys are here, it's Donghejian County, do you want to go there?"

"How much?"

"It's not expensive, by the way, a tael of silver is fine."

The scout of the new country got on the ship, stood on the ship, and watched as many people carried goods into the ship.

"Boatman, what are these transporting?"

"It's all wine, your wine from this new country, it's very popular in the Dragon Country, so bring it back more."

The scout nodded, didn't ask much, and looked at the whole wharf, on the north side of the wharf, not far from Shuixian, there was another large shipyard, the clanging sound in it did not stop, and the chimneys facing up were steaming, even in winter, it didn't look cold.
