Qingtang is poor.

At least compared to Western Xia, the family background is much weaker.

Now that Li Kui is here, this matter is on his shoulders. From the first day he entered Qingtang City, Li Kui began to be a saint, and he strictly ordered anyone in the Song Army not to enter the home of the Qingtang people when the male owner was not at home, and not to take any filial piety sent by the people of Qingtang. The rewards of the imperial court, military merits, and the materials obtained by the army will be distributed in order.

Of course, the two are happy, and the young man wants to roll the grass, and he can't control it.

After killing more than a dozen soldiers and colonels in a row, the appearance of the Song army was already very different.

On this day, he came to the treasury in Qingtang City to check the materials in Qingtang.

The mountains of tattered weapons, horse harnesses, and all kinds of metals, even iron pots, made Li Kui very dissatisfied with the management of the treasury in the army: "Why are all these rags moved to the treasury? ”

Li Kui pointed to the mountains of iron pots and questioned the guards of the treasury.

The guard laughed and said to Li Kui flatteringly: "My lord, you don't know that the iron pot is hard currency on the grassland. An iron pot can be exchanged for a young girl. ”

"It's ridiculous, the official didn't ask you about the value of these iron pots, but why did you put the iron pots away, and who gave you the power?"

"My lord, this ......"

"Little Er, pull it out and cut it!"

Ruan Xiaoer stretched out his hand and put his hand on the other party's shoulder as he spoke, so frightened that the treasury guard fell to his knees in fright, holding Li Kui's boots, and kept begging for mercy: "My lord, the villain is wrong!" ”

"Ask the adults to give the villain a way to live!"

"There is a way to live, but you don't want to go, who can you blame?" Li Kui snorted coldly, he naturally understood that these treasury guards were not the initiators, but had been taken for others.

But there are some things, he can only punish these people below, if the commander level really moves, I'm afraid he will have a vendetta.

The guards of the treasury are the people of the Jishi Army, this is the friendly army brought by You Shixiong, if he really kills it, he will kill it, but You Shixiong is afraid that he will be unhappy.

Forget it, you can't go to tea and cool down, Li Kui looked compassionate and compassionate, and said melancholy: "Forget it, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable." Go down and get twenty lashes, and let him have a long memory. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, Lord for your grace!"

It was easy for Li Kui to deal with this, according to his thinking, the Song army came to Qingtang to rescue poor slaves, not robbers who even smashed the pot.

Li Kui turned his head and said to Chong Jianzhong: "You help send these rags down, try to have the same share of each Tusi tribe, and let them send someone to collect it." In addition, if there is iron in the army, build enough iron pots for them. Lao Chong, for the people, we want to win them over, and we need their sense of belonging to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Do you want to issue weapons too?"

"It's all hair. As long as the Qingtang people don't dare to use weapons against my Great Song soldiers, they will send it down. We can't control their fighting. ”

The planting and construction center was sad, and secretly thought: "This is a scourge! ”

Chong Jianzhong was helpless, he had long known that this job would fall on his head, he pondered Li Kui's words, and noticed some signs.

A sense of belonging?

This kind of rhetoric has never been mentioned in the foreign wars of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty's foreign warfare has always been subdued. Don't look at the Great Song Dynasty, there was not much way to deal with Western Xia and Liao before, because the strength of these two countries was not bad, and the Great Song Dynasty couldn't do it.

But if it is really a small country, wherever the Great Song Bingfeng goes, I am afraid it is really not so easy to speak.

Establish a kind academy to educate the people. But this kind of thing is done less, but after killing, patting the ass and walking more.

But the significance of the land of Hehuang is too important for the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty not only wants to occupy the land of Hehuang, but also continuously provides high-quality war horses to the Great Song Dynasty. So as to enhance the ability of the Great Song Dynasty to fight abroad. Because the main army of the Great Song Dynasty was infantry, when defending against the northern tribes, it could only adopt a policy of passive defense. This was very unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty in terms of strategy.

Once the Great Song was able to assemble a large-scale cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty's strategy towards the Liao State could completely reverse the unfavorable situation.

Now, the Western Xia has wilted, as long as you work harder, it is not difficult for even the Great Song Dynasty to recover the land of the Hetao. Coupled with the recovery of the land of Hehuang, the Great Song Dynasty was able to free up his hands to deal with the Liao State.

Li Kui pondered that according to Zhang Dan's character, if he did not fight with Liao in the future, it would not be in line with his old man's character.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, if they are still in the hands of the Liao, will always be the biggest pain in the hearts of the Great Song Scholars.

Therefore, to deal with Qingtang, Li Kui has his own ideas.

And he will also tell Chong Jianzhong his thoughts as they are, he received information from Tong Guan, and it is very likely that Chong Jianzhong will stay and rule the land of Hehuang.

The establishment of Tusi and the division of Qingtang are only the first steps in the land of Jinglu River.

Li Kui said thoughtfully: "Old Zhong, you have to look at the problem from the standpoint of ruling the land of the river. The people here are Tibetans, and their language is completely different from that of my Great Song Dynasty. The prince thought about establishing a academy, unifying the written language, and rewarding the soldiers, although these ideas were very good. But it's not easy to implement. ”

"Are you saying that if you want to control the land of the river, the people are very important?"

The head of the cultivation center moved slightly, he seemed to feel something, and muttered: "Renjie, have you heard some news?" ”

"Tong Guan likes you very much!" Li Kui said with a smile.

Chong Jianzhong pouted in disgust, Tong Guan was a eunuch, and he didn't like this thing. But there was something in Li Kui's words, which made the head of the planting and construction center a little awkward. asked in a low voice: "He wants to be Li Xian?" ”

"I've always thought about it, but I've suppressed this idea. Moreover, as long as Li Qingchen and An Tao were in the Privy Council, his idea could not be realized. Now his identity, in the northwest, can't suppress Liu Yannian and Gao Yu, and he has no advantage over the old qualified You Shixiong. But it's hard to say to you......"

Chong Jianzhong's brows furrowed slightly, he really didn't like Tong Guan, and for ambitious people, especially ambitious eunuchs, his old breeders were all respectful. Especially Tong Guan's purpose of wooing him, more is that Tong Guan can only woo Chong Jianzhong. But Chong Jianzhong didn't think so, Tong Guan was the protégé of Li Xian, the head of the Western Army, and his old breeder and Li Xian didn't deal with it much. Even his uncle's personal enmity against Li Xian is open, and it is difficult for this relationship to get back together.

Woo Li Kui, if Tong Guan doesn't think it's fateful, go it!

Look at Li Kui to cut him or not!

Wooing the kind of Jianzhong, then Tong Guan still wants to make military merits. The northwest is now preliminary, and there are not many opportunities to fight. Tong Guan has ambitions, and naturally this ambition must be targeted, although he is a civilian official, he has influence in the Western Army. And Tong Guan's ambition is also about to come out, targeting Western Xia.

Don't look at this thing in front of Li Kui now, but he is also an ideal eunuch, and the flame of his faith has never been extinguished.

For Western Xia, then Tong Guan must be thinking about subduing the Ganliang region, which is much more difficult than subduing the land of Hehuang. If the Ganliang region was lost, the Hetao region of Western Xia would become a dead place. Could it be that Western Xia would be willing to endure such a threat?

Chong Jianzhong hesitated for a while, and said clearly: "Renjie, I will keep my distance from him." ”

"Don't, you can do your business, I don't care." Li Kui grinned and said, "I only mention my request." If you are in charge of Qingtang in the future, you must remember one truth. ”

"Please also ask someone to show me!"

Li Kui is positive, and he naturally listens to Jianzhong.

"It's very simple, win over the majority, split a small number of people, and promote a small number of people."

"What's the explanation?"

Li Kui raised his hand confidently, and he had the taste of pointing out the country: "The most people in Qingtang are former slaves and now civilians. At present, although the nobles of Qingtang are forced to accept this result, once the Great Song Dynasty loses control of Qingtang and even the entire land of Hehuang, Qingtang will go back to the old way. If you're in power, you have to think about it. Let the voice of freedom spread to the hearts of every Qingtang person, so that they can understand that they will never be slaves if they follow the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"That's a great thing!" The level of governance in the construction of the building is very good, and he has relied on his political achievements to reach today's height step by step. He could naturally understand the deep meaning of Li Kui's move and the benefits to Qingtang.

As long as the people's hearts are towards the Great Song Dynasty, the magnates will not be able to turn over the waves.

Li Kui continued: "Then it is said to split a small group of people. There are two main parts, the magnates are the mainstay, and the slaves follow us to attack the leader of Qingtang City; There are also the monks of the temple. These two parts of the people must not be in the same breath, otherwise, they will become a hidden danger for the Great Song Dynasty to control the land of Hehuang. ”

"How?"

Chong Jianzhong thinks that Li Kui's level must be more than that, and he can empathize with Li Kui's methods of suppressing people, on the surface, he is training people, but in fact he is sending people.

And if it is really a means for the Qingtang people, Li Kui can definitely come up with it more thoughtfully than Chong Jianzhong.

Li Kui raised his hand and stretched out two fingers, and said indifferently: "Just do two things well." Win over the old nobles to get the people of the toast, and suppress the people who get up from slaves or commoners. The former is easy to control, and now its strength has been greatly damaged, as long as they do not rebel, the control of the land of Hehuang will always be in the hands of the Great Song. ”

"Why can't commoners and slave chieftains get the toast qualifications?" Chong Jianzhong not only asked rhetorically.

Li Kui said disdainfully: "Commoners and slaves have gone from being nothing to being high-ranking local toasts. How to use the servants in the house is a problem, how to manage a huge toast territory? If you don't know people, you can only use people, and with the sudden generous treatment, they will swell to the limitless. Once not well controlled, these people are the most dangerous people. On the contrary, the old nobles are easy to control, they are easy to be satisfied, from the status of courtiers, to the real masters, they know who gave them this wealth, it is the Great Song Dynasty. Who can protect their wealth? It's still the Great Song! ”

"As long as the Great Song Dynasty garrisoned troops in the land of Hehuang, they would not dare to rebel. But they also have problems, they are not enterprising enough, and the head of the house lacks the ability to kill decisively, and they are easy to be bullied. Therefore, protecting them well is equivalent to protecting the stability of the land of the river. Promote the weak old magnates, these people will not become a scourge, and can even help you stabilize the place. ”

"Uncle Yu has been taught!"

The more you listen to it, the more reasonable it becomes, although it is said that it has a good ability to govern. But this kind of goodness is built on the level of the state capital.

His normal level of governance, such as building fortifications, building walls, dredging rivers, and showing compassion for the people, was naturally top-notch. But what Li Kui said to him was not a normal situation, but a regional strategy, which was a problem that Zai Fu would only consider.

Li Kui is not the kind of person who relies on mouth cannons, so he naturally doesn't care about this, and waved his hand and said, "I'm just talking about it casually, you just listen to it." Finally, I am talking about monks, I have a high honor for monks, but I don't think it is enough in Qingtang. ”

"Not enough?"

Chong Jianzhong exclaimed, the Great Song Dynasty is very strict with the management of monks, and there are a number of degrees issued every year, and the monks in the temple, although they are monks, they may not have a degree.

But for the monks, the imperial court will give preferential treatment and even high honors.

is like Su Shi's friend Buddha Yin, he is the Zen master of the Great Song Dynasty, and he wears a royal magic weapon in one hand, and the treasure is solemn.

Taoism was the state religion in the Great Song Dynasty, and many civil officials would give honorary official positions such as Taiyi Palace Envoys. At the same time, well-known Taoist priests also had official positions in the Great Song Dynasty.

Chong Jianzhong was puzzled, did Li Kui want to let the monks in the Qingtang area enjoy the level of Taoist priests of the Great Song Dynasty?

But Li Kui has his own opinion: "It is not necessary to give an official position." However, the presiding officer of the monastery must be given a title by His Majesty to make a number, and the people of the land of the river are more dependent on the monastery. Temples can be pure places, but they can't be outside the world. This requires you to think of a way, Daye Temple and Muen Temple, no matter what happens in the future, but for now, they must boost their status among the people of the River Land. Weakens the influence of toast. ”

Chong Jianzhong was dumbfounded, he has a set of ways to deal with the people, but his ability to deal with monks is also very limited.

Looking at Li Kui, he seems to have found his way.

Li Kui fooled a group of monks around in Western Xia and became the guest of honor in all monasteries. If he can't think of a way, then it's in vain to figure it out for himself.

Thinking of these, Chong Jianzhong had the heart to ask for advice, and asked: "Renjie, as for Daye Temple and Muen Temple, how should they get along?" ”

"Hit a stick and give a candy to eat. The point is that you can't do it, let them do it between themselves, and then you do good people. Especially on the bright side, you have to be impartial. Li Kui smiled strangely: "It's very simple, the monk is simple, and it's easy to fool." ”

"I ......"

After listening to this, Chong Jianzhong felt a lot of sadness in his heart, and he seemed to have found the wrong person. The key is that after listening to Li Kui's last words, he felt like a villain who was stirring up trouble everywhere.

But he's a gentleman!

Just when Chong Jianzhong was suffering from gains and losses, Tong Guan hurried over and deliberately suppressed his voice and said, "Oh no, it's a fight." ”

"Who's fighting?"

Chong Jianzhong hurriedly stood up and asked. Now, most of the people in Qingtang City are under his control.

When someone conflicts, nine times out of ten it will be his people.

Tong Guan was not in a hurry, but said unhurriedly: "It's a monk, two waves of monks have fought." ”

"Did you see blood, did you see a dead person?" Li Kui asked.

Tong Guan found out that Li Kui was also there, and hurriedly restrained his gloating expression, and was full of slander in his heart. It's still Li Kui's black! They all want people to die, so he should be careful.

Tong Guan shook his head and said: "It's not true, it's just that the monks of Mu'en Temple and Daye Temple fought in the donor's house for a sum of gold." Gerzle and Lausanne were also present, but they couldn't control the situation. ”

Li Kui shouted to Ruan Xiaoer and Luda outside the door: "You go and take a box of gold and go with the official to see these monks." ”

The gold is ready-made, and Ali Gu is the king of Qingtang, no matter how desperate he is, he will not even have the capital to press the bottom of the box. There was not much gold found in the palace, but two small chests could still be filled to the brim.

When they came to the place of the incident, Lausanne and Gerille saw Li Kui coming, the former was so frightened that he wanted to hide, and the latter closed his eyes and pretended to be high. But there were purple and cyan marks on the eye frame, which obviously betrayed his high monk's feet.

Poof

Bang la blah

Li Kui didn't speak, but knocked over the bottom of the two chests full of gold to the ground, and said to Geril and Lobson: "If you want gold, why don't you ask for it?" ”

It was as if he could give it when he asked for it.

When the great monk of Luosang saw the golden patch on the ground, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he came to Li Kui with a wail: "Lord Li, the monk of Daye Temple is bullying people!" ”
