Lantian County, County Office, Li Chaosheng listened carefully to Zhao Ziying's views on Zhu Yujiao.

"So the county honor, to sum up, I think that Zhu Yujiao is just a little girl who is politically manipulated and ignorant of the world, and she is still very naïve to think that sacrificing herself can be exchanged for the support of the county emperor for her father, so that his father can reclean up the old rivers and mountains and restore the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Chaosheng bowed his head slightly when he heard this: "Well, you did a good job, so what do you think I should do with them?" ”

Zhao Ziying heard this: "The first of the two aspects is to transform Zhu Yujiao's Lantian family, I suggest that Zhu Yujiao be admitted to Lantian Academy and learn the knowledge of our Lantian, only by enriching her brain can she not be so ignorant and bewitched." ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Li Chaosheng bowed his head: "What about the second?" ”

"Cao Huachun must no longer be able to interfere with Zhu Yujiao, otherwise we will transform Zhu Yujiao here, and Cao Huachun will interfere with her on the other hand, so that she can't be at ease to be herself, which is not a good thing, so please also ask the county to be perfect."

Li Chaosheng glanced at Gu Zi on the side and said, "Did you hear that?" Now the little girl is amazing. ”

Gu Zi smiled: "Yes, compared with our generation, these new generations are indeed more daring. ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled slightly: "This is the hope of Lantian in the future, if we are all old people like us, then how can there be hope in the future of Lantian, okay, don't talk about this, you heard what classmate Zhao just said." ”

"It's the county honor, I've heard it."

Gu Zi said, Li Chaosheng bowed slightly: "That's good, two things, the first thing is to apply for Zhu Yujiao's student status in Lantian College, let her enroll as soon as possible, and let her live in school as a boarding student, by the way, Zhao Ziying, you transfer the dormitory, and then bring a few classmates with better temperament to form a small dormitory for four people, you have to be friends with her and cultivate her ability to be independent, after all, Daming is dying, and the princess of the dead country has never ended well." ”

"On the one hand, it is caused by their political background, and on the other hand, they have never known how to live in the people, and you have to forge her ability to be self-reliant, self-reliant, and self-reliant, which can be regarded as a little contribution I have made to the Zhu family's dynasty."

"Second, Guzi, tomorrow you personally take someone to Xi'an, and say that since the princess has been delivered, there is no need for him Cao Huachun to stay in Lantian, and he is limited to leave Lantian within three days, if he does not follow the consequences."

Hearing this, Gu Zi immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes." ”

After making arrangements, Li Chaosheng looked at Zhao Ziying and smiled: "Are you satisfied now?" ”

Zhao Ziying smiled sweetly and said: "I know that the problem in my opinion is just a casual matter in the eyes of the county, okay, the county will not disturb your office, I will leave." ”

After Zhao Ziying finished speaking, she bowed and left, and Li Chaosheng said to Gu Zi: "This little girl is very good, you can let the Political Department focus on assessing her ability, if her ability is good, she can also be promoted in the future." ”

"Yes."

After doing these things, Li Chaosheng didn't take Zhu Yujiao's matter to heart, but turned his head to look at Gu Zi and said, "How is Henan?" ”

Gu Zi heard the words and said: "It's very bad, on the ninth Double Ninth Day of September, Li Zicheng held an anti-king conference in Luoyang City, and there were many participants, and hundreds of thousands of anti-king troops gathered in the entire Luoyang City, and ......."

"And how?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi, Gu Zi said: "And above the anti-king conference, Li Zicheng also made a fake Lantian representative, using the name of Brother Long, according to our secret spy, on the day of Li Zicheng's meeting, there was a guy who called himself Lantian Li Chaolong sat on Li Zicheng's left hand side, and only said one sentence in the whole process: I, Lantian is willing to be the head of the king." ”

Gu Zi gritted his teeth when he said it, it was hateful, it was so hateful, this was simply shameless, Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this, and then said: "This Li Zicheng is cunning, I don't want to be in the same stream with him, but he made a fake Lantian messenger, what did you say to my cousin?" ”

Gu Zi said: "Brother Chaolong was angry, it is said that he smashed his favorite set of tea sets on the spot, and vowed to enter Luoyang, beat Li Zicheng's out, let him be nonsense, and only he Li Zicheng was the first to look forward, he was really arrogant, don't be ashamed." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled: "Hahaha, this is strange, Brother Chaolong doesn't like to drink tea, but it's interesting, I remember that the tea set is very precious, and he has to scrub it every day in the barracks." ”

Gu Zi also smiled: "Yes, it's angry with Brother Chaolong, after all, no one wants someone to swagger and deceive outside under their own banner." ”

Li Chaosheng said: "Yes, Li Zicheng is a rogue who will play some tricks, but this anti-king conference will give Sun Chuanting a headache." ”

Gu Zi nodded and said: "Yes, although the anti-kings are all grass kings, but each of the men and horses under his hand can have eighteen thousand people, which together can achieve a qualitative change, no matter how powerful the Qin army is, it can't stop the attack of these people." ”

"And Sun Chuanting is now being forced by the imperial court, and wants him to quickly fight with Li Zicheng, the Ming court really can't come up with the money, I heard that the emperor has started to raise donations again, and I hope that the princes of the imperial court will enthusiastically donate money and suppress bandits, but after a circle of shouting, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military finally donated 8,000 taels of silver."

"How much?"

"Eight thousand taels of silver."

Gu Zi emphasized again, after hearing this, Li Chaosheng did not feel funny, but felt pathetic, the emperor of a country, the monarch who rules over tens of thousands of people, did not have a face, he personally went out to shout, and finally raised 8,000 taels of silver, not 80 million taels of silver.

Just this amount of money, now any big merchant in Lantian can easily take it out, but in front of the imperial court, it is already the result of his best efforts, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military merchants who are not richer than Lantian are rich, just say that Zhou Yanru, there are 200,000 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, 200,000 mu, and it will be millions of taels of silver if you sell it casually.

A courtier is still so rich, not to mention the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and Chongzhen worked so hard, and finally only raised 8,000 taels of silver, that can only show one thing, that is, the signboard of the Ming Emperor is really worthless in front of the civil and military officials, and it is really embarrassing that the emperor of a country has fallen into such a field now.

Li Chaosheng sighed and said, "Pay close attention to the Henan battlefield, the future changes are here." ”

"Yes."

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, he said: "What happened to Li Dingguo's side?" ”

Gu Zi smiled when he heard this: "Li Dingguo has recovered two-thirds of Gansu, and at present, the graduates of our college are going over there on a large scale, ready to act as the chief at the bottom." ”

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Inform the military department to prepare to expand the army, and when Li Dingguo takes Gansu, he will be promoted to the commander of the Lantian Fifth Division, and when he takes Wusizang, then he will be promoted to the commander of the Lantian Fifth Army. ”

"Yes."

"By the way, the county honor, our first batch of lieutenant governors sent abroad to Gansu have begun to come back one after another to report on their work, and the Political Department has also drawn up several excellent lists, I am afraid that you need to meet with the county zun in person to show your commendation."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng bowed his head slightly and said, "What about the list?" ”

Gu Zi said: "Here, please take a look at the county." ”

Li Chaosheng took it and took a look, only to see that it was written: Li Dezong, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Xu Zhiyuan.

"Xu Zhiyuan?"

Li Chaosheng was slightly surprised when he saw this name, and Gu Zi said: "Yes, the prefect of Lanzhou, he performed very well, under his positive response, Lanzhou City quickly accepted the transformation, and he himself accepted Lantian's policy very well, and he is a good official who really serves the people." ”

"And this time to come back to report on the work, he also asked, he said that he still lacks a lot, I hope to come to Lantian to see, by the way to Lantian Academy for further study, and when he thoroughly understands Lantian policy, and then return to Gansu to make a career."

Li Chaosheng nodded, followed by Gu Zi and silently handed over a list and said: "County Zun, can you meet these people, and also meet them, this is the representative of Gansu Huihui, they are all willing to return to Lantian and accept the transformation of Lantian, and those who do not return to obedience have been conquered by Li Dingguo." ”

"And these people are all elected by the Political Department, Guo Bao means that if you want to return to your heart, the county respects you, you have to show your personal charm, and meet these Hui representatives, which is good for our Lantian to completely control the land of Gansu."

Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard this: "Well, when will they be able to come to Lantian?" ”

"About half a month later."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Half a month later, let them see the prosperity and strength of Lantian first, and then prepare a banquet. ”

Li Chaosheng said and looked at the list handed over again, which not only had names, but also the ratings assessed by the Political Department.

Li Chaosheng turned over and looked, only to see that the first in line was his eldest nephew Li Dezong.

Li Dezong.

Local production resumed: a.

The hearts of the local people belong to: A.

Assessment of local large-scale construction and future development: A.

Local political and legal construction, public security situation: A

Sample survey of the people's evaluation of the chief: A (Note: The local people call him Li Qingtian, and his reputation is very high. ）

Comprehensive management rating: Grade A.

Opinions of the Political Department: Selecting the best can be promoted to the middle!

Li Chaosheng looked down again, and saw that Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu in the back all had B-class evaluations in the ratings, and they all seemed to have shortcomings, of course, Li Dezong's evaluation was so high, and it was probably related to the fact that he was Li Chaosheng's nephew.

But this report is checked by Guo Bao personally, even if there are factors in this regard, it is harmless, and it is definitely not a particularly important factor.

Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Guzi, send this assessment report to Brother Chaolong in a while, isn't he quite hot, give him defeat fire, hahaha......"

Seeing this, Gu Zi smiled and said: "Dezong is giving our Li family face, I heard that even Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu, two people with such high eyes and low masters, have a very good evaluation of Dezong." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled: "That's natural, and I won't show who the nephew is." ”

Gu Zi smiled: "Yes, don't look at who the nephew is, hahaha......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, they were both Li Dezong's uncles.

After laughing, Li Chaosheng said: "By the way, how is Shuzhong?" ”

Gu Zi said: "It's already smoking, after Zhang Xianzhong entered Shuzhong, he began to brutally suppress, the people of Shu suffered heavy casualties, it is said that Zhang Xianzhong did a little inhumane there, the local people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, Qin Liangyu was originally prepared to take charge, but her son Ma Xianglin seemed to have some different thoughts, and even moved the stone pillar toast to play enclosure and self-fattening, as if he also saw that the big tomorrow was thin and wanted to become king." ”

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this: "This is the chaos in the world, everyone wants to be the king of grass." ”

After saying this, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "What kind of attitude does Qin Liangyu have." ”

"It is said that it was very unpleasant to have a quarrel with her son, and now the old general is alone with her headquarters, busy with Zhang Xianzhong's striker Sun Kewang Ainengqi."

"It's just that the old man is old after all, and her son doesn't quite agree with her doing this, resulting in the old man being isolated, although the old man is still brave and brave, and he is very strong with soldiers, but he can't resist Zhang Xianzhong's tactics of the sea of people, and I'm afraid defeat is inevitable."

"County honor, us?"

Li Chaosheng laughed and said: "Don't worry about them, they are now two wild dogs biting each other, at this time, they are fighting each other and fighting to the death, but at this time, there is suddenly an extra lion in their territory, guess what?" ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi, and when Gu Zi heard this, he said, "Then they will definitely turn their guns and beat us." ”

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "That's right, dogs are all food guards, and we don't need to go with them to grab this dog food, we just need to fight hard and get ready, and when the two dogs are separated, let's slaughter the most powerful dog and grab the chassis back." ”

Gu Zi smiled: "What the county lord said is extremely true. ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "By the way, how about Hubei?" ”

"Everything went well in Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong cut off the Shu Road after entering Sichuan, causing the land of Hubei to become a place without interference, and Yang Sichang died, and the Hubei soldiers all entered Henan, causing the entire Hubei to be empty, Li Dezhen's army almost drove straight into occupy most of Hubei, and began to send the lieutenant chief to govern."

"What about the local officials?"

Li Chaosheng asked.

Gu Zi said: "They have all been raised, and now they are specially responsible for writing peace folds for the imperial court, and as for local things, they don't care about it at all, and they can't manage it." ”

Li Chaosheng said: "That's right, professionals do professional things, what these people are best at is singing praises and writing splendid articles, so let them continue to write for the imperial court, and the imperial court must feel that Hubei is a peaceful and prosperous era." ”

Gu Zi nodded and said, "What the county lord said is that we are indeed inferior to these eight-strand literati in this regard. ”
