The mobilization of 80,000 troops, the demand for grain and grass and other burdens is not a small amount.

Fortunately, although Li Shanchang did not approve of sending troops to Anqing in his heart, he was unambiguous in doing things, and he was very thoughtful in terms of logistics support, which saved Song Xuan a lot of trouble.

Some people are good at imperial examinations, and some people are good at doing things, and Li Shanchang is the latter.

The imperial examination has been tried and failed repeatedly, but in terms of doing things, all aspects of the details can be taken care of, and one after another government decrees have been issued, and there is almost no omission.

In this respect, this is the same!

Using the blue jade and making it mobilize troops and horses to go to battle, Song Xuan was also well thought out.

To put it simply, on his side, he is too short of generals.

Now that he has taken Jinling and set the capital here in the future, he Song Xuan, as the main father, cannot drive the expedition at every turn.

After all, he needs a commander who can handle it to send troops to fight.

This time, he ordered Lan Yu to go on the expedition, not only because he didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang's gang to make a big deal, but he didn't have the intention of training Lan Yu to make him grow as soon as possible.

The commanders trained by themselves are always more convenient and reliable than those who come to take refuge in the later stage.

.......

After Lan Yu set out on the expedition, the workload of Li Shanchang and others gradually increased.

In addition to ensuring the logistics of the expeditionary army, the internal affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces also fell on his head.

The internal government is the government department established after Song Xuan took Jinling City.

To put it simply, this department can be understood as a complex of the powers of the six departments of the imperial court, except for the inability to decide on the military, other things, all kinds of decrees, all need to be issued by this department.

As the chief official of the Ministry of the Interior, Li Shanchang has been busy lately, and his head has become big, but although his body is thunderous, his spirit is extremely happy.

He could feel that the lord trusted him very much, and he could make decisions directly on general internal affairs, and he didn't even need to report to the lord specifically.

He enjoyed the feeling of being in power and being trusted.

Even when resting, he would often hold a cup of hot tea in his hand, look at the north, and look forward to the scene of the future lord ruling the world, and he was a very popular vassal and paying homage to the prime minister.

As soon as he thought of a very popular minister, he couldn't help but think of Liu Bowen's appearance in his mind.

In an instant, his mood became extremely complicated.

This man, in terms of wisdom, is still above himself.

Fortunately, this person is a little weak in the handling of cumbersome government affairs, otherwise he is really not sure that he will be able to win the post of future prime minister.

"Teacher!"

Outside the door, an internal government official walked in and said, "Liu Bowen has gone to Zhejiang with people from the Tax Department!" ”

"JS Province's taxes, he collected them so quickly?" Li Shanchang was a little surprised.

It's only been half a month since Lan Yu sent out his troops, right? Liu Bowen's tax collection efficiency is so high?

After the lord took Jinling City, he Li Shanchang took charge of government affairs alone, but he separated the tax affairs separately and Liu Bowen was in charge of it.

In order to better collect taxes, the lord even drew some troops from the Tsing Yi Wei and the fire guns to form a tax department, which was mobilized by Liu Bowen alone.

"You don't know Liu Bowen's methods yet?" The official said in a low voice: "The commercial tax and mining tax, it is really ruthless to collect it, and those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot and directly raided the house."

After copying several big families in a row, no one dared to oppose the entire Jiangsu border tax system, and the money and grain collected even exceeded our previous budget! ”

This official, who does not seem to be very old, was recommended by Hu Qian to join the Ministry of the Interior.

Li Shanchang was still a little wary of him at first, but later found that this person had a strong ability to handle government affairs, and his words and actions were also in line with his heart, so he accepted him as a disciple.

Now that the door is closed, the master and apprentice don't have too many worries when they talk, and when they talk about Liu Bowen, they call him by his name.

"Teacher, although you are the first person under the lord's command, but Liu Bowen has a special status, and even has the right to transfer troops, and the future lord will ascend to the throne, this person is definitely the biggest obstacle for you to be the prime minister!"

Li Shanchang glared at him, "Don't think crookedly!" Don't look at the Lord when he is fair, he doesn't take care of things, but do you really think that those Tsing Yi guards under him are idle meals?

Hu Weiyong, you remember, officialdom has the rules of officialdom, if he is corrupt, bribery, favoritism, and irregularities, you can impeach him. But if you secretly make a stumbling block and engage in some indiscriminate means, believe it or not, Tsing Yiwei will have to invite you to tea that night! ”

Hu Weiyong sneered, "The teacher is serious, the disciple just reminded you, but how dare you secretly stumble on Liu Bowen and other important ministers?" ”

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "When the disciple went out early in the morning, he saw a large number of martial arts people entering Jinling City, most of them were women, does the teacher know their origins?" ”

"It should be someone from the Emei faction!"

Li Shanchang doesn't know much about the things in the rivers and lakes.

"I had a brief chat with the masters of the Wudang faction, the relationship between the Wudang and Emei factions is very good, and it is said that the lord and the closed disciples of the head of Emei still have a marriage contract.

Although I don't know whether it's true or not, it can be seen that the lord attaches great importance to the power of Emei. ”

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong pondered for a while, and then showed joy and said, "Teacher, for us, this is an opportunity!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The lord must be over twenty years old, right? But now don't talk about marriage, there is not even a concubine, is this in line with the identity of the lord? ”

Li Shanchang stroked his beard under his chin, and finally shook his head.

"Let's not get involved in this!"

Seeing Hu Weiyong's puzzled look, he explained: "I know what your plans are, you want to go to Shulu and ask the lord to marry a disciple of Emei?" ”

Hu Weiyong nodded.

Li Shanchang laughed and said, "I'm afraid that if you really do this, you won't survive the next day!" ”

Li Shanchang said meaningfully: "The women around the lord are not ordinary people, even the little Zhao girl who is serving tea and pouring water next to him, I sometimes feel stunned when I look at it. ”

Speaking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Tell the people below, they are all peaceful, we don't care if others mention the marriage of the lord or not, but the officials of the Ministry of the Interior, no one is allowed to mess around!" ”

Hu Weiyong sighed, seemingly a little unwilling.

How do you look at it, that female disciple of the Emei faction will be the queen's life in the future, and at this time, you can bet on helping her, you can get the queen's favor, this kind of business, he doesn't understand why the teacher is unwilling to do it?

Li Shanchang saw that he was a little absent-minded, and immediately reprimanded: "You remember, do things, especially under the master, just do your duty and be down-to-earth!"

What should be given to you, the lord will not miss a point!

Opportunistic and want to reach the sky in one step, don't even think about it! ”

"Don't forget, the lord is from the martial arts! And the women who have a relationship with him are all from martial arts! ”

"If you dare to break their marriage, they will dare to take your life!"
