Yes?! Li Chengcheng's mood was immediately depressed. Emperor, people are just humbling their words, how can they forget it!

Zhu Youxiao laughed, stretched out his hand to open the drawer, took out a small round mirror, and handed it to Li Chengcheng, "Here, I will reward you." ”

Li Chengcheng's mood - this one up and one after another, the emperor, you don't have this.

However, after taking this small mirror, Li Chengcheng was really ecstatic, and squatted down to give thanks.

Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a young woman.

She has secretly looked at the mirror on the emperor's table that can illuminate people clearly and abnormally, and she knows that this mirror is priceless.

But this unimaginable treasure is so handy, although it is a little smaller, Li Chengcheng is so excited that he almost jumps.

Looking at the girl's overjoyed and enduring appearance, Zhu Youxiao was quite moved, but he still held back.

A daughter-in-law is easy to find, but a shovel officer is hard to find!

Zhu Youxiao sighed helplessly, and wrote a reply to Wu Zheng.

At the same time, he also told Li Dan and Yan Siqi that if they make more money, they will do good deeds, such as adopting orphans in welfare homes, giving medicine to help the elderly, and so on.

What is meant by giving back to society, this is. More compassionate care for the disadvantaged is also to reduce the burden on the country.

After writing here, Zhu Youxiao picked up Wu Dazhang's book again, pondered for a while, and replied.

The disappointment with the Jiangnan gentry and merchants made Zhu Youxiao rely more on the Tongzhou merchant gang that had been subdued. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that he attaches great importance to the development and stability of the north.

is still that purpose, will not let the business gang contribute money and efforts in vain, Zhu Youxiao also proposed a way for them to make money and expand.

The development of business will force the rise and expansion of many industries. The most direct, what Zhu Youxiao can think of at once, is logistics, warehousing and transportation, as well as postal services.

Zhu Youxiao's idea was to rely on the post station, the imperial court to sell the land, and the merchants to help build inns and warehouses, operate independently, and pay taxes according to regulations.

There is no more convenient and faster way than this, the setting of the post station is according to the distance, and it is all above the official road. It is equivalent to a ready-made planning site, and even some houses and people are ready-made.

Speaking of ancient post stations, it is really an interesting product. It is not only the postal communication system of the imperial court, but also a public guest house and logistics transfer station.

Because the officials can eat and live for free with the help of the survey or the fire plate, and change the horses. During the special period, the post station also had to transport grain, grass, and military materials for the imperial court.

In the later part of the Yuan Dynasty, with the aggravation of the corrupt system, the post station also became a free benefit for the powerful officials to eat and live for nothing. Even merchants, monks, and others could use money to sell certificates for food and lodging at the post station.

This undoubtedly increased the financial expenditure of the imperial court and increased the burden on the people.

After Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang opened the country, he clearly stipulated that the post station could only be supplied to officials who wanted to run errands in the imperial court, and no one else could use it.

In order to warn the officials and the people, and to prove the authority and seriousness of this law, Zhu Baba even executed a powerful person in the DPRK and China.

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the post station system also repeated the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty, but there were some differences in severity.

Of course, the corruption of the post station is not yet worth letting the emperor personally take action. Bi Zisu's Inspectorate has made the abuse of post stations a project to evaluate officials.

Strictly control the survey, determine the hospitality standards and the number of people, and the post station adopts a registration and reporting system. These three-pronged measures, coupled with severe punishment and severe punishment, have been very effective in changing the current situation.

Now, the inn and freight store will be built, logistics and transportation will be strengthened, the postal system will be launched, and civil communication will be increased. The benefits will not only improve the lives of the posters, but also benefit the people.

Xiao Lizi, this time you will rebel against me? Be an honest postman!

Zhu Youxiao put down his pen and showed a smug and a little sly smile.

Guiyang.

More than two months have passed since the siege was broken, and the wounds caused by the war have not yet fully recovered, but a new atmosphere has emerged.

Recruiting and moving, cultivating land widely, and restoring the economy, Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou, sat in Guiyang, and soon began a series of measures to stabilize the society and revitalize the locality.

Relying on the gold and silver drawn by the emperor, buying grain to settle the people, recruiting real troops, and Wang Sanshan was a diligent and hard-working official, the place quickly settled down.

The Ming army confronted the rebels at the Luguang River and the Yachi River, and did not rush to cross the river because of the lack of water officers and boats.

After the besieging rebels lost their troops, some ethnic minorities surrendered to the Ming army, and An Bangyan felt weak and did not dare to cross the river to attack, digging deep trenches along the river to increase the number of troops to defend.

The Luguang River is a section of the Yachi River in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River that passes through Xiuwen and Xifeng counties, and is in the southwest of the water.

"Zhi" cloud: the river of the west of the water, the largest is called Luguang, its upper stream is called Yachi, the lower stream is called Dongzhu, it is called Huangshadu, it will be in the Qingshui River, and the east will be in the Fujiang River, and the duck pond or the Yachi River is said. ”

Both sides of the enemy and the enemy are using the river as a defensive line, stepping up preparations and arrangements, waiting for the opportunity for the next combat encounter.

The current governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan, is a Jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli, and he has been up and down for decades, and he is almost 60 years old.

At the same time, he was very disappointed with the deceit and party strife in the officialdom, and went home on leave several times, but did not return after the deadline. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he never returned to the dynasty on the grounds of mourning for his wife's return to his hometown.

It was not until Ming Taichang changed the Yuan, Emperor Guangzong ascended the throne, and Wang Sanshan was named Taichang Shaoqing, that he had no choice but to return to the capital.

Since he was ordered to quell the rebellion, Wang Sanshan made every effort to gather troops and accumulate food, and finally with the help of the reinforcements from Beijing, he attacked on three fronts, defeated the rebels of 100,000, and relieved the siege of Guiyang.

Winning more with less, Wang Sanshan was quite complacent, but what made him unhappy was that the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp refused to listen to his orders.

To be precise, he did not carry out his order to cross the Lu Guang River and attack the rebels while he was victorious. But for the resurgence of the defense rebels, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion are well arranged, and there is no gap.

When the imperial court appointed Zhu Xieyuan as the governor of the five provinces, Wang Sanshan also received a counterinsurgency strategy. Only then did he realize that Jingying was acting according to the will of the Holy Lord, not cowardice.

Steady and enterprising, not daring to go deeper. Whether it is Zhu Xieyuan's writing or the will of the imperial court, this point has been repeatedly emphasized.

Even if Wang Sanshan had some opinions, he didn't dare to act without permission. Pressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Wang Sanshan still carried out the arrangement of the court to the letter.

After more than two months of recovery, the people were basically stable, the officers and troops had stabilized the defensive line, and the blockade of Shuixi had become tighter and tighter.

At this time, Wang Sanshan and Li Zong, the former governor of Guiyang, had just finished inspecting the newly built gunpowder and weapons factory outside the city and rode back to the city.

Li Zheng was a talented official who stood out in the defense of Guiyang, recruiting volunteers with less than 3,000 soldiers to resist the siege of Anbangyan's rebels for several months, which shows his bravery.

Originally, after all the hardships and imminent resignation, Li Zheng, who should be relieved and relaxed, was depressed and depressed.

Wang Sanshan knows some clues, without it, the courtiers' attacks.

Before An Bangyan rebelled, Li Zheng saw that this guy had evil intentions, and Guiyang's city defense and grain storage made him even more worried.

In order to prevent trouble, he went to the imperial court many times to ask for an increase in soldiers and salaries.

However, the imperial court was in a hurry to conquer Liao, and had no time to take care of it, so it ignored Li Zong's request. At this time, Li Zheng was attacked by the courtiers again, so he went up to the court six times and begged to retire.

The imperial court agreed to appoint Wang Sanshan as the governor of Guizhou, and ordered Li Zheng to continue to serve before the new governor arrived. Then Anbangyan rebelled, Guiyang was besieged, and Li Zheng also took on the heavy responsibility of defending Guiyang.

Months of siege and danger. Li Zheng united the gentry, recruited volunteers, and worked hard with officials such as the governor Shi Yongan to ensure that Guiyang was not lost.

At the most critical time, Li Zheng even prepared to kill himself, that is, "burn books and clothes, warn his family, and commit suicide in a hurry, and give him a knife ring".

It stands to reason that such a contribution, such a merit, the imperial court will definitely reward it. After Wang Sanshan took over, he and Li Zheng both went to the imperial court and asked for rewards for meritorious personnel.

But there was no reply from the court, but there was a rumor. The imperial historian Jiang Yunyi played Li Zong, saying that when An was in the position of Tusi in Shuixi, Li Zheng extorted a gold basin from him, which led to an An rebellion.

The rumors, I haven't seen the palace newspaper, and I haven't seen the court inquiry, Li Zheng can't go to the book to defend himself, can he not be depressed in his heart!

"Master Lee." Wang Sanshan was quite sympathetic, and couldn't help but open his mouth to comfort: "Before the matter of chasing the wind and catching shadows is confirmed, there is no need to worry about it." ”

Li Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for your relief." It's just that before Guiyang was besieged, there were already courtiers attacking him, and a certain had already retreated. I didn't expect it to be ...... now"

Seeing Li Zheng shaking his head again and again, Wang Sanshan was also very helpless. People are desperate in front, and there are impeachment attacks in the back, and it is not uncommon for the atmosphere to be like this.

The point is that with tens of thousands of miles away, what can you know? Hearsay is still good, and making up nonsense is not uncommon.

"Long live Mingjun." Wang Sanshan arched his hand and said, "I can distinguish between right and wrong, and I will tell the story of Lord Li's perseverance in the lonely city." ”

Li Zheng blinked his eyes, and also arched his hand: "Long live Shengming." ”

Seeing that Li Zong's knot was still unsolved, Wang Sanshan had no choice, so he diverted the topic and asked about the customs around Guiyang to learn more about the situation.

When they were about to reach the city gate, two horsemen galloped out, and when they saw Wang Sanshan and others, they hurriedly stepped forward to report that the envoy had arrived, and asked the two adults to hurry up to receive the order.

Wang Sanshan and Li Zheng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged the horses to gallop and rushed to the governor's yamen.

The officials in the yamen had already set up the incense table in the main hall, and there was a civil official who followed the envoy to drink tea and talk in the side hall.

Wang Sanshan and Li Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the envoy was polite, let the two sit for a while, and wait for the inspector Shi Yongan to arrive and then announce the decree.

Compared with Wang Sanshan, Li Zheng is apprehensive. I don't know whether this holy decree is a reward or a punishment, and whether the rumors heard are true or false.
