As soon as Li Chaosheng's words came out, Gu Yanwu was silent, Huang Zongxi was also silent, and Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them: "I know that you all think you are well-educated people, but your knowledge is only learning on paper, and you don't know anything about how to serve the people, how to develop social productive forces, and how to effectively solve the problems of the people's lives. ”

"You are like Zhao Kuo during the Warring States Period, maybe you can point out the country on paper, stir up words, and say the Tao, but now give you one or two counties after the disaster, you can't even do how to provide disaster relief, you think that you can save the country and save the people by writing one or two articles and shouting a few slogans, no, the people are not stupid, who is good to them, who is not good to them, they know better than anyone else, don't treat the people as fools, because they are the smartest people in the world."

"If you weren't sincere to them, they wouldn't treat you as the same thing, that's why there is that sentence, you treat the people like pigs and dogs, and the people treat you like thieves."

"Remember, if you want to serve the people, you don't want to sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, talk and laugh, and let the enemy disappear with a wave of your hand, but sleep in the open, endure hunger, fight the enemy with your own life, and protect the people and relatives behind you."

"It's not like you Jiangnan scholars, make a few sour poems, and win a few praises from the laughing girl in the painting boat and get complacent useless fat powder, remember, if you want to do a few things that the people applaud, you have to honestly suppress your flirtatious emotions, do some down-to-earth things, and see what their world is like from the perspective of the people, and think about how to do these things for them."

Li Chaosheng watched the two of them say it again, and the two of them were speechless when they heard it, if others told them this, they would definitely have a hundred words waiting for them, even if the other party was in a high position, they would not be afraid, but in front of them was Lantian County Zun, a man who had indeed done all of the above.

This makes it impossible for them to refute that they have done it, and it is not the same as talking about it.

Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them: "I don't know what you are doing when you come to Lantian this time, it is to sell your reputation and reputation, and you want to meet me, the county of Lantian, and then go back and brag about how you can refute Lantian Li Chaosheng to make a name for yourself." ”

"I still really want to come to Lantian to do something practical for the people, if it is the former, you can go, and I will send it not far away, but if you are sincere and want to come to Lantian to do something practical for the people, I can give you a stage to show."

Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them, saw that the two did not answer, and did not force them to answer, but glanced at Gu Zi, who understood that he would take out a series of approval slips from the cabinet on the side, and it was also stamped with the big seal of the county honor.

Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them at this time: "You can take these two introductions to Lantian Academy for a period of political class, learn how to govern the people, and wait for the spring of next year, you have almost learned, you can go to Gansu with General Li Dingguo, which is about to be assigned to Lantian, and the two of you can serve as two accompanying lieutenants to help Lantian accept the refugees there, and by the way, help them rebuild their homes and take them to live a good life again." ”

After Li Chaosheng said this, he looked at the two of them, waiting for the choice of the two, the two glanced at each other, Huang Zongxi was more decisive and directly picked up a letter of recommendation on the table, and Gu Yanwu did not take it but looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "When we go to disaster relief, what kind of support can we get, and to what extent." ”

Gu Yanwu is a doer, he does things straightforwardly, you should tell us how far we want to go.

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Yanwu and said: "20,000 taels of silver dollars, 30,000 taels of grain, help the local people to divide the two pieces of land for you, help the local people build ditches, prepare for spring sowing, and when they harvest summer grain, autumn grain, two seasons of grain, completely solve the hunger worries of the local people, you can come back, and then we can really have a good talk." ”

"What do you mean, we're still qualified to talk to you now?"

Gu Yanwu looked at Li Chaosheng and asked, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Zhao Kuo, who talks about soldiers on paper, is he qualified to talk to Bai Qi, who has grown up since he was a soldier?" Go ahead and wait until you really learn how to govern the people, and then we'll come back and talk about it, and then we can talk about something real. ”

Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them, and Gu Yanwu looked at Li Chaosheng when he heard the words and said, "Li Xianzun, you seem to have had an opinion about us since we first came in, can you tell me why?" ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Because you have the stench of Jiangnan Shizi, the kind of stench that only knows empty talk, but does not know what the people think, selfishness, this smell I smelled as soon as you entered the door, it was really a top stench." ”

"You ......"

Gu Yanwu's hands trembled when he heard this, and Li Chaosheng got up at this time and said: "Do you want to scold me, do you want to refute me, is it very uncomfortable, but you can't refute me now, because I have the right to speak, you don't, when you really govern the people of Gansu well, if you still think that what I said is right, then you can come and scold me, I don't talk back, so now take the opportunity that you can talk to me again, and go to the academy to study hard." ”

"Whirring ......"

Gu Yanwu was angry, and at this time, Huang Zongxi saw that his old friend was angry like this, and hurriedly grabbed the letter of recommendation on the table, and arched his hand to Li Chaosheng and said, "County Zun, I will retire." ”

After speaking, he pulled Gu Yanwu and left, Gu Yanwu seemed to be about to say something, but was stopped by Huang Zongxi and said, "Go out and say, go out and say." ”

As he spoke, the two pulled out of Li Chaosheng's house.

Seeing the two of them go out, Gu Zi said on the side: "County Zun, were you too strict with them just now, I remember that you were polite when you met other great Confucians before?" ”

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and asked, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "They are different from that group of rotten Confucians, these are two useful Puyu, for those old Confucian students who only know how to study Confucian academics, they can be courteous, anyway, in the future, they will be given an idle position, and they will not be able to grasp real power in their lives, so treat them more leniently and benevolently, it's okay, it doesn't matter." ”

"However, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, both of them are talents who can be used, these two people must be beaten and let them wash away the impetuousness left by Jiangnan Shizi on their bodies, so that they can radiate their vitality and become useful talents in our Lantian."

Hearing this, Gu Zi said: "I understand, my own people should be stricter, and outsiders should be more tolerant, right." ”

Li Chaosheng glanced at Gu Zi when he heard this, and said: "Your kid is getting smarter and smarter, okay, these two guys are sent away, let's talk about some serious things, how is Li Dingguo's side?" ”

Gu Zi heard this and said: "The army has withdrawn back to Huacheng, and in two days it will return to Lantian with the cattle and sheep, furs, herbs and other materials handed over by Guihua City this time, and the county honors your commendation order has been drawn up, and the military department and the political department have been stamped with official seals, and when Li Dingguo comes back, he can prepare a plan to recover Ningxia and Gansu." ”

Li Chaosheng snorted softly when he heard this. "Hmm. ”

Calculated in my heart.

In the spring of the next year, the whole Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, Li Zicheng can't hold himself back, and after Sun Chuanting was transferred out of Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong can't help but prepare to do things, these two gangs make trouble, the whole Ming Dynasty will be completely chaotic, when Chongzhen is busy fighting fires everywhere, how can he take care of himself, he just took the opportunity to go west, and take back most of Ningxia and Gansu, you must know that although the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty have Guizhou, but a large part of Gansu is under the control of ethnic minorities, such as Lao Huihui, is the occupier of the land.

Further to the west, it is Wusizang, where there is a large area of land, but it is not in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this Li Chaosheng is not allowed, Li Chaosheng took the map of China, Li Chaosheng's purpose is to continue to expand the territory of China, can only be larger than this map, absolutely not smaller than this map.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng is ready to set up the Northwest Army, and the subjugation of Li Dingguo is also for the service of this northwest, after all, the civil war is actually Li Chaolong, Shi Dalei, Li Chaohu, Li Dezhen Several legions are enough, but the weakness of these legions is obvious, that is, they are not very good at foreign wars, if they are guarded, these legions are more than enough, of course, this may be a little biased, for example, Li Chaohu's army is still good in field combat now, and Shi Dalei's army is also okay.

Don't talk about Li Chaolong's legion, this is a defensive legion, which Li Chaosheng kept for himself to protect his hometown, and although this army is not good in the field, but in terms of its defensive strength, it can be regarded as the most important of the major legions, Li Chaolong is still very distinctive, first, as the closest general to Li Chaosheng in the entire Lantian area, his loyalty is doubtful, so his military status has never been shaken.

Second, Li Chaolong himself was born as an old peasant, so he has a strong idea of an old peasant in his character, and he is also fighting steadily and steadily, that is, what Li Chaosheng says, how he fights, strictly implements Li Chaosheng's orders, and when he fights, he will be steady in every word, even if he does not make meritorious contributions, he is absolutely not allowed to make mistakes.

It is precisely because of this character that Li Chaosheng feels that Li Chaolong is the strongest defensive existence, and can resist the temptation of military exploits and not rush forward, this is the best character, you must know that as long as you defend the city, with Lantian's current equipment, even if you have ten times your own army, don't want to capture Lantian's city, but since ancient times, there are very few famous generals who can withstand all kinds of provocations and temptations on the opposite side.

Sima Yi is one, even if Zhuge Liang took out a set of women's clothes and sent it to Sima Yi, mocking Sima Yi You are a big lady, such a shame and humiliation, Sima Yi can endure it, and finally consume Zhuge Liang alive, I have to say that the word forbearance can be regarded as Sima Yi's motto.

And Li Chaolong has a little bit of Sima Yi's meaning, among many generals, maybe because of his transcendent status, maybe because of his character, he never fights or grabs, he does things steadily, and his army training has never fallen, and the equipment is even better than Li Chaohu's front-line troops, so as long as he fights steadily and steadily, he does not make reckless mistakes, and then in the case of occupying a geographical advantage, even if he uses Lantian's own army to attack him, he may not necessarily attack.

Therefore, the future plan of the Lantian Army is that the current four masters of Lantian will all be expanded into an army, and when it is necessary to unify the world, Li Chaolong's army will guard the center and protect Lantian, Li Chaohu's army will attack the northeast, mainly resist Jiannu, Li Dezhen's army will go south and recover Jiangnan, and Shi Dalei's army will deal with the peasant army and use it to wrestle with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

In the end, Li Dingguo's army has been fighting westward, recovering ethnic minorities, conquering Wusizang, and going westward to expand a huge territory for himself, Li Chaosheng once said to Li Dingguo, sealing the wolf Juxu is by no means the end, we want to fight to Kazakhstan, to Kyrgyzstan, if possible, it is best to lay a place with oil for their children and grandchildren, so that their children and grandchildren can also become local tyrants who can use oil.

Don't think that oil is not easy to use now, you must know that now the steam engine has been broken by Song Yingxing's team, and it is not impossible to have an internal combustion engine in the future.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng has already put the military plan in his own plan, and the following is to implement it.

Install the latest version. 】

Li Chaosheng took the plan handed over by Gu Zi and looked at it, which included arrangements for Li Dingguo's return to Lantian; first, because of Li Dingguo's excellent performance in the Xifengkou Campaign, it was decided to promote Li Dingguo to brigade commander, and the First Regiment of the Northwest Cavalry where he was located was changed to the First Mixed Brigade in the Northwest.

After replenishing the soldiers, they will train in Daogouyu for two months, and during these two months, the arsenal will prepare weapons and equipment for the soldiers, and when they are in the spring of the next year, they will lead the troops to set off directly to the northwest.

They were followed by the students of the Government Affairs Academy in Lantian, and the top students of these academies would follow behind the army, collect the displaced people, restore the local economic construction, help the people repair the ditches, and at the same time plant summer grain and harvest two seasons of grain to ensure that the local homeless people do not starve to death, yes, that is, what Gu Yanwu needs to do.

When everything is done, Lantian's territory can expand the entire Gansu and other places.

Li Chaosheng looked at the plan, nodded, stamped his county seal, and agreed with the results of the discussion between the military department and the political department. ”

Gu Zi heard this and said: "It is estimated that it will take three days, and it is said that it has already reached Henan." ”

"Well, send someone along the way to protect it."

"Yes."

Gu Zi nodded, followed by Gu Zi and said: "County Zun, the people we sent to Yunnan have returned, and they have met Mu Tianbo, the small prince of Mu Wangfu, and his mother Ruan and his uncle Ruan Qiming, and exchanged views on the interests of our Yunnan. ”

"Oh, how did it turn out?"

Li Chaosheng suddenly asked with interest.
