The common people know how to be grateful the most.

All they want is to live.

The higher requirement is to live well.

Yang Jiuba's situation is actually not an exception, but is being staged in the entire Hedong City.

Because they all know that as long as the crown prince and Master Li are here, they can continue to live in peace.

It's hot outside the city, and it's the same inside the city.

Wealthy merchants and large families began to build according to the plan.

Especially when it comes to their own industry, they are all about trying to be perfect, anyway, there is a yamen to cover it.

The news of celebrating the eradication of the smallpox epidemic and holding the Dragon Lantern Festival also spread from Hedong to all parts of the country.

As Li Xing had guessed earlier.

In addition to the medicinal herb merchants who were engaged in the medicinal herb business from other places, other merchants also saw business opportunities, and almost every one of them went to Hedong with a few Langzhong.

and so on to master the method of treating smallpox blight, and make a lot of money.

Jiang Hong also received the emperor's decree on this day.

In addition to rewarding the officers and soldiers below, it was to tell them that the trade union yamen would first conduct a pilot project in Hedong, and if it was successful, it would be promoted to the whole country.

After seeing the holy decree, Jiang Hong began to complain about Emperor Yuan Kang again.

"My father is looking ahead and looking backwards, what else do you do? Isn't it clear what I'm saying in the fold? ”

When Jiang Hong spoke, he had already handed the holy decree to Li Xing.

"Since the establishment of the union, those big clans and merchants have become law-abiding, isn't that okay?"

Li Xing did not immediately respond to Jiang Hong's complaints.

Rather, he looked at the decree carefully.

When he finished reading it, Li Xing understood the emperor's concerns.

It seems that the emperor is indeed more comprehensive than the two of them.

That is the fear that a good thing will become a bad thing, and that the power of the local powerful faction will be expanded again.

So Li Xing opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Highness, we have to think about this matter from a different angle. ”

"From what angle?"

Jiang Hong was puzzled.

"Of course, it is the difference between Hedong City and other big cities in Great Xia, we can control the situation in Hedong City, but I am afraid that other big cities will have some difficulties, the right to speak is still in the hands of those big clans, blindly implemented, once the trade union yamen is controlled by them, it will be even more difficult for the people."

After Li Xing finished speaking, Jiang Hong smashed his fist on his leg angrily.

looked at Li Xing and asked, "Can we only change city by city like this?" ”

"If it could be changed so easily, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Li Xing reminded him in a timely manner.

Tell the prince that everything is too good and too simple to think of.

"But in Hedong City, this palace doesn't think it's too difficult!"

Jiang Hong always felt that Li Xing was too complicated to see the problem, and he liked to think too much.

Li Xing was speechless for a while, knowing that the prince didn't understand the meaning of what he had just said.

He could only explain in detail: "Your Highness, Hedong City can go so smoothly, it can only be said that the White Lotus Sect bandits and the smallpox epidemic appeared at the same time, giving us a chance to turn the tables." ”

"Especially those local families, knowing that King Lu is unreliable, they obey the court, plus we have a lot of black material about them, so they don't dare to make mistakes."

"In order to fundamentally disintegrate their power, I did not hesitate to resettle those displaced people and the unsustainable people in the city, but this method, in another city, the strength of those big clans is intertwined, and it may not work."

After Li Xing finished speaking, Jiang Hong nodded and said, "This prince also thinks that if you want to make Great Xia prosperous, the imperial court must have a strong army that deters all forces. ”

Hearing this, Li Xing was speechless for a while.

We're not on the same channel at all.

You even think so.

But there is no problem with what the prince said.

Now is not the best time to take control of Ho Dong Province and build a new army in Ho Dong Province.

Just when Li Xing's idea first appeared, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, feel the real thoughts in the host's heart, the random task is triggered, please assist the host to help the prince Jiang Hong, build a strong army, and complete the control of Hedong Road. 】

[Mission duration: two months.] 】

[Mission Complete: Reward one host general.] 】

[Task failed; Hedong Road changes hands, and the host will no longer enjoy the prestige contributed by the people of Hedong. 】

Seeing the task of the system, Li Xing thought not of failure and inability to gain prestige.

The first thing he thought of was that Hedongdao was being targeted.

Unless they build up a strong army, Hedong Province may change hands, and this will happen in two months.

So at this time, Li Xing didn't have time to complain about Jiang Hong's brain circuit.

Instead, he said: "What Your Highness said is very true, it is better to build a strong army sooner rather than later, and tomorrow we will issue a notice to recruit from these people, and then let Jingwei train them, and strive to let them form their initial combat effectiveness in two months." ”

"Lao Li, are you still Lao Li I know?"

Jiang Hong actually didn't understand what Li Xing meant.

He just bluntly brought the topic to training the army.

Unexpectedly, Li Xing agreed, and he was really not in a hurry.

"Your Highness, of course it's me, the reason why I'm so anxious is that I'm worried that the White Lotus Sect bandits and the forces behind them will not be willing to fail and make a comeback, Xishanwei can't stay in Hedong City all the time, if they leave, the enemy will fight back, and our achievements and these people will suffer."

"Yes, if you think about the problem thoroughly, I will go and draft the conscription notice and play the emperor."

Jiang Hong agreed and immediately started to act.

Li Xing must also make arrangements in advance for this matter.

Jiang Hong went to write notices and excerpts.

Li Xing went to find Guo Yuan.

This time, the conscription must be strictly controlled, and no one with ulterior motives can be allowed to mix in.

It's just that Li Xing left the Governor's Mansion and went to the trade union yamen on the way to a small accident.

He collided with a coolie carrying a sack.

Although Li Xing's body has been strengthened by the system a little, it is a little stronger than a normal person.

It's still a little worse than these people who have the strength to resist the sack.

So I was directly hit with an ass squat.

The man who looked at the sack hurriedly put down the sack on his shoulder, and bent down to help Li Xing: "Master Li, are you okay?" ”

"I ...... Didn't ......."

Before Li Xing's words were finished, he felt a pain in his neck.

He felt his eyes go black, and he fainted.

The man who looked at the sack, seeing that there was no one around, poured out all the sand in the sack, put Li Xing in the sack, and carried him away.
