The government posted a notice to persuade the thieves to come and surrender.

But after a few days, not a single thief came to his behalf.

Li Shimin analyzed to Li Yuan the reason why no thieves came.

He believed that the reason why no one came to surrender was because the thieves did not believe that the government would pardon their capital crimes, and that no one was willing to surrender because they were afraid that the government would lure them to surrender.

------

Li Shimin suggested that a few bandit leaders should be persuaded to surrender first, and then used as a demonstration. With the demonstration, the village will spread the word, and the thieves will follow suit.

Li Yuan sighed, "The leaders of the thieves are all hiding in the countryside, where can I find them?"

Li Shimin smiled, "Grandpa, have you ever thought about it? I can't find it, but the township chief and Li Zheng can find it, maybe they will collude with the thieves."

"Grandpa can promise a heavy reward, and anyone who says that thieves will come down can be rewarded up to 100,000 yuan."

"Before the first month of next year, the township chief and Li Zheng, who did not say that the thieves would come, will be punished according to the conclusion of collusion with the thieves."

------

Li Yuan still has the mentality of giving it a try and does what Li Shimin thinks.

He ordered the county magistrate, the township chief, and the Li Zheng to persuade a certain number of thieves to surrender to the government before the first month, and those who failed to do so were all dismissed from their posts and investigated.

Sure enough, within two days, a township chief said that a thief leader would bring more than 200 people to surrender.

Li Yuanyinuo rewarded the township chief with 50,000 yuan, and awarded the post of Bapin Honor, the leader of the thieves, and all the thieves who returned to him were incorporated into the army, included in the military register, and provided food and clothing according to the officers and soldiers.

------

As the saying goes, it's hard to get started.

As soon as the thieves began to surrender, word of mouth spread among the villages, and the leaders of the thieves soon heard that surrendering to the government would not only exempt them from capital crimes, but also make them official.

As a result, the township chief and Li Zheng said that the thieves would come to surrender, and Li Yuan would reward them all according to the promise, and the thieves would be incorporated into the army in the future.

After the New Year's Day, before the first month, more than 30,000 thieves came to Jiangzhou, and the army led by Li Yuan also expanded to 60,000 or 70,000 people.

------

At this time, it was the twelfth year of the Sui Dynasty, and the world was already in turmoil.

Just when Li Yuan was appeasing thieves in Jiangzhou, more than 20 counties across the country did not send envoys to participate in the court meeting on the Zhengdan Festival that year.

Yang Guang had no choice but to send 12 envoys to the whole country to arrest the thieves, and Li Yuan was reappointed as the envoy from Hedong and Shanxi to Hedong and Shanxi.

------

Out of the first month, Li Yuan issued a notice again, limiting the thieves who have not surrendered within ten days to surrender, and those who have not surrendered within the time limit will not be pardoned.

Within ten days, a small number of thieves who had not surrendered came to Shun, and at this time, almost all the thieves in Jiangzhou had surrendered, and there were very few who had not surrendered.

Li Yuan finally issued a notice that anyone who reported the thieves who did not surrender would be rewarded by the government.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the bandit leader Jing Pantuo and others could no longer survive in Jiangzhou, so they had to flee to other states and counties.

When spring gradually arrived, Li Yuan ordered the local officials to appease the people and organize the people to engage in production.

In March, Li Yuan wrote to Yang Guang to report the results of the suppression of bandits, and then led the army back to Jinyang.

------

Jinyang Spring Festival Gala, the middle of March in the summer calendar is the season of spring flowers.

Guanyin thought that this spring was still the same as in previous years, and she had to live up to this good spring, and at this time Li Shimin returned to Jinyang from Jiangzhou.

Guanyin still hasn't forgotten that Li Shimin once promised her the promise of taking her to enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains.

When she saw that the spring was shining outside, she asked Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, where are you going to take me to play this spring?"

Li Shimin looked at Guanyin affectionately and asked her, "Where do you want to go?"

Guanyin thought about it, seemed to be delicate, and said, "I heard that the incense in Shibi Temple is very prosperous, so we might as well go and offer incense."

Li Shimin spoiled her like a little sister, gently touched her head, and promised her with a smile,

"Sister Maid will go wherever she wants."

------

For Li Shimin, this is just a free time, and he also wants to go outside for a break in the company of his lover.

If there is chaos today, it is estimated that we will have to face years of conquest and fighting in the next few years. I missed this spring, and I want to go out with my lover easily, I don't know what year and month I have to wait?

Shibi Temple is more than 100 miles southwest of Jinyang.

Li Shimin thought that the world was chaotic, and the road must not be very peaceful. If it was just him, it didn't matter where he went, with his martial arts, he was not afraid of one or two hundred ordinary thieves. But with Guanyin with him, he must be more careful, and he must be sure to ensure the safety of Guanyin.

------

On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, Li Shimin and Guanyin were ready to go to Shibi Temple to offer incense, they didn't want to rush too much, and planned to play for two or three days.

In order to prevent accidents, Li Shimin brought all bows, arrows, and horse lances with him, and in addition to Lu Zheng, his entourage also brought ten fully armed servants.

Guanyin maid brought Qin Lan and Shiqin to serve with her, and the three of them carried Mi Luo on their heads, and rode horses under the protection of Li Shimin and others.

The BMW that Li Shimin usually rides is shuang, and the road is fast and steady, and this time he went to Shibi Temple Li Shimin let Guanyin to ride.

------

The group went out of Jinyang City, along the official road at the foot of Luliang Mountain, and drove the horse to the southwest of Xicheng County unhurriedly.

On the right is the Luliang Mountain, which is still cold in spring, and the mountains are still full of depression, and the new green is not dyed.

On the left, there is an endless field where farmers are busy preparing for the spring ploughing.

------

On the way, Li Shimin and Guanyin walked side by side, talking about the scenery on both sides while walking, sighing at the magnificent mountains and rivers in the world, and feeling that it was not easy for the people to survive in the troubled times.

Guanyin felt something, and he said to Li Shimin, "If the people can live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to be thieves?"

Li Shimin remembered the process of appeasing thieves in Jiangzhou, and he was also deeply touched:

"Thieves don't have too high demands, just to have food and clothing. This time we are in Jiangzhou, and with only food and winter clothes, tens of thousands of thieves have disappeared."

Guanyin smiled and raised the bar with Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, how can you say that tens of thousands of thieves have disappeared? It should be said that it has become our army of tens of thousands."

Mi Luo, Li Shimin couldn't see Guanyin's expression, he smiled and echoed Guanyin's maid,

"I don't take it seriously with Ah Wan, you said that it has become our army of tens of thousands, that is, tens of thousands of troops."

------

Guanyin suddenly changed her playful tone, and said seriously,

"Brother Shimin, have you seen it? This man's heart is like water, and he walks towards profit. To whom good can be brought good, the hearts of men are turned."

Li Shimin saw that she still said some philosophical thoughts, and wanted to hear what she said next,

"Tell me, what do you think?"

------

Guanyin was afraid that Li Shimin would not want to listen to her reasoning, so she said to him:

"Brother Shimin doesn't think I'm verbose, I'll just say it."

Li Shimin hurriedly said, "What Ah Wan said is all good words, how can Ah Brother think you are verbose?"

Guanyin saw that Li Shimin was following her, and said coquettishly, "I can say it."

Through Mi Luo, Li Shimin could also feel her smug expression.

------

Guanyin began to talk about her feelings.

"Man lives only to satisfy his desires."

"This desire is not for the pleasure and satisfaction of the soul, or for the comfort and enjoyment of the flesh."

"Brother Shimin, do you think I'm right?"

Li Shimin savored it, Guanyin was really right, one is spiritual, and the other is physical.

He nodded affirmatively, "A-maid is right."

------

Next, Guanyin asked and answered herself,

"How can these desires be satisfied?"

"You must gain fame, fortune, and status to achieve it."

"If you want people to follow you, you have to give him fame, fortune, and status."

"If you can provide him with this, his heart will be directed to you."

Li Shimin sighed, "It turns out that human nature is so shallow."

------

Speaking of shallow human nature, Guanyin turned her face to look at Li Shimin, who was like a mist, and Li Shimin could vaguely see her black eyes.

Guanyin's next words were even more to the point,

"I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry, brother."

"All relationships in the world are maintained by the exchange of interests, and there has never been selfless love."

"I like Brother Shimin, and I hope that Brother will only like me for the rest of his life, and give me love and protection for the rest of his life."

"It is said that parental love is the most selfless, and raising children is hard. But who ever thought the other way around, that parents also have more expectations for their children, that they want to be supported in old age, and that they want to have descendants who will be sacrificed forever when they die."

------

Li Shimin also agrees with Guanyin's statement in his heart, but he still doesn't want Guanyin's young age to see human nature so ruthlessly.

Li Shimin wanted to change the topic away, he pointed to the field on the left, smiled and said to Guanyin, "Look, I hope that the flowers in the wilderness will bloom, the new willows will be like silk, and the spring will be so good."

Guanyin raised her eyes and looked to the east, retracted her gaze, and looked at Li Shimin,

"Do you think that what I said is improvised?"

"Actually, I've been thinking about this since you came back from Jiangzhou. I'm wondering why tens of thousands of bandits were appeased by us in the middle of the month?"

------

Li Shimin saw that Guanyin was entangled in this topic, so he had to let her continue.

He thought to himself, how stupid is this woman? Or might it be smarter?

If your lover is silly, but cute, sees you as a god and relies on you everywhere, will men have a greater sense of accomplishment?

Getting along with an assertive woman like Awen makes people feel pressured?

------

Guanyin didn't care what Li Shimin thought in his heart, and continued,

"I want to say that between the people who are close to each other, there is still a need for interests to maintain."

"Tens of thousands of unrelated people get together, how can they talk about loyalty? Without the common good, wouldn't it fall apart in an instant?"

Guanyin's words aroused Li Shimin's interest again, and he was also thinking about this question during this time.

At this time, he had the idea of letting Guanyin go on, and he asked Guanyin,

"What do you think about this?"

Guanyin asked Li Shimin, "If Brother Shimin wants to achieve great things, he must rely on talented and virtuous people. But are virtuous people stupid? Is it good to deceive? Can you be easily driven?"

Li Shimin said: "Those who are talented and virtuous are all outstanding people, which one does not have his own opinions? How can you be easily driven?"

------

Seeing that Li Shimin was inspired by her words, Guanyin reminded Li Shimin,

"If Brother wants talented and virtuous people to follow you to the death and serve you, he must exchange the benefits they think are worthy."

"The more you can give them, the more they will give you back."

"If they lose you, they will lose everything, and they will swear allegiance to you, and they will share your interests, desires, hearts, and destiny with you."

At this time, Li Shimin really understood that Guanyin was talking so much hard work, she wanted to wake herself up,

"To achieve great things, we must have people who swear allegiance to the death, share interests, desires, and destiny."

"And these people are not easy to get, they need to pay the same price for themselves, with their hearts and lives."

------

At this time, he began to rejoice again, thanks to the fact that he had such a smart, thoughtful, and assertive wife.

With a wife like Guanyin, she will always remind herself.

On the road to great achievements, you will make fewer mistakes.

Li Shimin looked at Guanyin with appreciative eyes, thinking in his heart how to make the world's talents use for himself, and how to be of the same heart and fate with himself.
