Longxi County is a mess, even worse than the original Shuofang County.

Because, if you want to quickly restore the vitality of Longxi County, you must not only face the problems of withering people's livelihood, barren land, and constant wars, but also find a way to fight wits and courage with the Li family, which is undoubtedly a very difficult task.

Longxi Li's family, on the surface, is just some big dog households with a large number of fertile land, mountains and forests, mines and ponds, but when you take a closer look, you will be surprised to find that it is these seemingly inconspicuous 'big dogs' and 'soil buns' that really teach you to understand what it means to cultivate and read the family.

And, of course, there are military families.

Their mansions were not very prominent, except that the stone walls of the castle were stronger, but the Di tribes, the Qiang tribes and the Huns rarely dared to clash with them head-on; Not only that, those wolf Riha and sheep Riha, while exchanging cattle, sheep, livestock, horses, and grain with the Li family in Longxi every year, they also have to send some additional 'tribute' to the Lao Li family.

Like cattle, sheep and horses, tiger skin mink fur, precious medicinal materials, and mineral beauties, they are all the favorite things of the Li family.

Several 'border counties' in the northwest and southwest of Longxi County are generally equipped with 'bazaars', and there are many names in these bazaars, some are called camps, some are called yi, some are called sets, and some are called cities.

Through these bazaars, the Li family would sell the grain, ironware, wine and other things urgently needed by the grassland people to those tribesmen at a high price, and at the same time, at a very low price, buy a large number of cattle, sheep, livestock and horses, and then transport them to Xianyang along several rugged mountain roads in the Qinling Mountains, and then sell them to the big dog families in Chang'an City......

In this way, the entire Longxi County has almost become a huge bazaar.

The Li family in Longxi is naturally one of the 'second-class dealers' who make a lot of money.

Among them, the profit can be imagined.

Therefore, their dependence on and pursuit of fields is not very urgent, and the thousands of acres and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the names of some large families are nothing more than the result of what people do casually.

Yang Chuan hadn't thought about these things at all before, and he didn't realize them until he came to Longxi County to serve as a taishou and wanted to consider the strategy of this land as a whole.

From this point of view, Liu Che already knew this, so he seemed a little impatient and sent Yang Chuan, Huo Quzhi, and Cao Xiang secretly.

"It's still the emperor."

Seeing off Dong Zhongshu and his disciples, Yang Chuan looked a little tired, his whole person was paralyzed on the mazhazi, and even drank several bowls of tea, but he didn't recover from that boring, boring and meaningless exhaustion.

It's hard to think about.

When they were in Chang'an City, the emperor asked a few of their young people to fight with the old thieves in the court, and now they are released to Longxi County, and they have to fight with the Li family in Longxi, anyway, they can't let people stop.

"Teacher, the student has always had a question," Huo Guang stepped forward, changed Yang Chuan with a new bowl of tea, and asked respectfully: "Since the teacher wants to deal with the Li family in Longxi, why is he giving them money and changing the law to fight for their titles?" ”

Yang Chuan closed his eyes and asked lazily: "Huo Guang, when you lived in Linfen's hometown, did any friends in the village bully you?" ”

Huo Guang nodded: "Yes." ”

Yang Chuan asked: "In the face of their bullying, what methods do you generally use to deal with it?" ”

Huo Guang thought for a while and said: "In the face of the bullying of the children in the village, the students are generally silent, and when they return home, they steal some fruits, vegetables and vegetables from the family, and quietly come to the other party's house, saying that there is some surplus food at home, and they bring it to their parents to share. ”

Yang Chuan: "And then? ”

Huo Guang: "Then, in front of his parents, he praised his children for their intelligence, and at first glance, they were expected to be promising, and they were expected to be big officials." ”

Yang Chuan was laughed at and scolded: "You are a coward, you are really much worse than your brother." ”

Huo Guang smiled shyly and arched his hand: "Teacher, the student understands." ”

Yang Chuan smiled: "It's good to understand." ”

Huo Guang bowed and bowed, and retreated in an orderly manner.

Zhang Tang, Sima Qian, and Dongfang Shuo on the side were confused, and they all looked at Yang Chuan, their eyes full of doubt.

Yang Chuan saw it in his eyes but didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he asked Liu Man, Zhiniang, and Naren Tuoya, the three little women, to prepare fragrant soup, and after bathing, it was time to rest.

Finally, Sima Qian couldn't help but ask: "Changning Hou, a certain family...... Ahem, I have a question too. ”

Yang Chuan said casually: "Do you still have questions as a historian?" ”

Sima Qian's big red face turned black violently, and he bared his teeth and said: "My question is similar to Huo Guang's, that is, since the Marquis of Changning wants to pass through Longxi County for a long time, the money and grain in his hand and the appointment of subordinate officials are best in your own hands, but now why do you want to spill out all your brains and let the Li family of Longxi take advantage of it?"

Is this a sign of weakness and waiting for an opportunity, or does it have another meaning? ”

Yang Chuan asked without thinking: "Sima Qian, in Chang'an City, if you want to deal with a person, do you like to use fists and swords to reason, or do you like to use conspiracies and tricks to design and frame him?"

By the way, there is a premise, that person's background is deep and his martial arts are strong, anyway, he is the master that you Sima Qian can't handle, how will you deal with it? ”

Sima Qian groaned a few times and hesitated: "The eldest husband and man, there is revenge and revenge, and there is revenge and revenge, so you should ...... Fight with the sword, right? ”

Yang Chuan: "You can't beat that person." ”

Sima Qian thought about it for a while, and said very frustratedly: "Even if you want to play conspiracy, it depends on whether you can succeed." ”

Yang Chuan scolded with a smile: "Your red-faced Sima Qian still can't lose the face of a scholar, there are some things, you actually want to use conspiracies and tricks to design and frame people, but you can't pull off your face, after all, you are still half a good person." ”

"The benefits that Benhou gave to the Li family in Longxi are not only money and food, titles, and the opportunity to be promoted to become rich, but also some poisons that you can't see."

Zhang Tang, Sima Qian, and Dongfang Shuo's eyes widened: "Poison? ”

Yang Chuan nodded: "Yes, poison." ”

"It's just that the poison prepared by Ben Hou this time is a little fragrant, a little sweet, and a little addictive, I promise that they will want to eat a bite and eat it bite by bite, and after three years and five years, the general poison feels tasteless, so they want to eat Ben Hou's poison."

Several people shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand at all.

Yang Chuan sighed and said, "Then it's simpler." ”

He thought about it for a while, and changed his statement: "You have been eating and drinking in my house for the past few years, have you been poisoned by Benhou?" Yang's food is unparalleled in the world, even if your title and official position are upgraded by one level, and you are allowed to go to Huo Quai's house as a guest, are you willing? ”

A few people shook their heads as if they didn't understand: "Don't go." ”

Yang Chuan smiled, and then said: "The Li family in Longxi has been operating for hundreds of years, deep-rooted, and intertwined, and everyone has formed their own academic system and Taoist system, and if they want to compete for power and profit with them in the short term, it is estimated that we will die an ugly death;

However, Ben Hou fed him day and night with gold, sheep fat jade, titles, official ranks and delicacies, so that he unconsciously adapted to and liked this kind of brocade clothes and jade food, worry-free food and clothing, and prosperous official fortunes.

Just like my leopard sister.

Nowadays, in addition to the roast lamb shank, roast deer leg, braised pork, sour rotten meat, roast duck and roast chicken cooked by Ben Hou himself, will it eat the meals prepared by others?

One of us who is a cook will not fight and kill, so we can only cook food for people, serve them comfortably, and want to die......"

……

What Yang Chuan prepared for the Li family in Longxi was 'happy soap water', which was originally a 'chronic poison', but what was surprising was that its effect was immediate.

This point, even the initiator Yang Chuan did not expect.

The 'Juntian Order' of the Taishou Mansion of Longxi County caused an uproar in the court, attracting countless infamy, and the reputation of Yang Chuan, the Marquis of Changning, deteriorated again, and almost all the old ministers of the court wrote to the emperor to impeach Yang Chuan.

As a result, in the midst of this chaos, Liu Che said, 'Or, try it in other counties', and everyone shut up.

Sell the official beard.

Why, what a good thing, as long as you are rich and powerful, won't the title soar upwards with a 'whoosh'? Instead of letting his son go to the battlefield to fight and win that military merit, it is better to spend a lot of money and grain, hand over a part of the field, and directly upgrade us to a few levels!

As a result, the Han Empire's 'Juntian Order' was officially promulgated and spread at an astonishing speed, making the big dogs in the world laugh like wild chrysanthemums.

As for the dissatisfaction and anger of the people, it is very easy to do, and if you guide one or two casually, those little fart people began to curse Yang Chuan, the Marquis of Changning, who was thousands of miles away, and cursed the thief for not doing anything.

Hearing that his reputation was killed again, Yang Chuan laughed.

Fame was the least valuable thing in the Han Empire, especially among the common people, and a person's reputation was not important at all.

Because, even if the people are eager to eat your flesh and drink your blood in the past two years, when you have enough power and are high, you just need to put down your value and face, and spend a stable and peaceful Spring Festival with those little farts, and the will be gone.

At that time, all the people will praise you, saying that you are the best person in the world.

Of course, the premise of all this is to kill all the people who caused your reputation in the first place, and then you can easily give the people the benefits of three melons and two dates......

The Li clan in Longxi spent less than 500,000 acres of fertile land and less than 7 million yuan in exchange for a full 2,000 titles, of which the vast majority of them were 'low-level lords' such as the left chief, the left change, and the right change;

In addition, there are more than 20 core children of the old Li family, who have a fifteenth-level young master, a sixteenth-level big master, and a seventeenth-level chariot chief.

Good God.

This time, it can make those bad old men happy.

You must know that even Li Guang, a veteran who has worked the battlefield for decades and has a reputation much greater than that of the general Wei Qing and the champion Hou Huo, is now only an eighteenth-level master, only one step away from the nineteenth-level Guan Neihou......

So, the people of the old Li family, regardless of men and women, old and young, are all immersed in a jubilation and pleasure and can't extricate themselves, the eleven counties of Longxi County, the best restaurants, teahouses, and kilns in each county are full of guests, and the guests are full.

Staggered, singing every night.

What a peaceful and prosperous world of singing and dancing!

In order to add a fire to the bottom of the pot of the old Li family, Yang Chuan, who is the county guard, generously donated money and grain, and simply allocated more than one million dollars and grain at one time, and held an unprecedented celebration ceremony-

Parade through the streets......

Ahem, it's a horse boasting official.

All those who have obtained the title or above will gather in Lintao New Town within three days, and they will feast in the Taishou Mansion for three days and three nights, eating and drinking, and they are so unhappy.

After that, Yang Chuan asked people to escort these newly promoted 'lords', dressed in red and hung with colors, with high horses, beating gongs and drums, and began to hold 'walking horses and boasting officials' in the eleven counties of Longxi County.

In the past, the overlord of Chu had a good saying, wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night.

The big dog families in Longxi County have money and food, and many people are still in charge of a large number of private soldiers, in this barren land, if you stomp your feet, you can make the sky fall half of the existence, but the problem is that the imperial court has always been picky and searching, only allowing them to be rich, and not liking them to be expensive, which is very uncomfortable.

Now it's all right.

The people of Longxi County are not only rich, but now they have so many princes and officials, and they have become nobles.

Wealth and wealth, that's roughly what it means.

Therefore, when everyone heard that the new Taishou Yang Chuan let these newly promoted 'lords' go to the horses, almost all the heads of the family were on the head, and there was no need for the Taishou Mansion to pay for it.

After Yang Chuan heard about it, he stretched out a thumbs up and clicked a handmade praise: "Longxi County, outstanding people, it is really a blessed land!" ”

And then.

His second-step plan was put into practice.

Yang Chuan gave an order, and the Taishou Mansion allocated a large amount of money to rebuild all the cities in the eleven counties of Longxi County, and took out a few design drawings, and sent the infrastructure battalion to various places, and began to build the mansion of the lord for those new 'lords'.

Loser.

The war is imminent, such a huge amount of money, not to take out the Yulin Army and Longxi County soldiers to replace weapons and equipment, but to build a mansion for the Li family in Longxi, it is simply unreasonable!

Yang Chuan's move not only aroused strong dissatisfaction with Cao Xiang and Huo Quzhi, but even Liu Che, who was thousands of miles away, was alarmed.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Da Nagato Cui Jiu came.

"Yang Chuan, the emperor asked you two things."

"The first thing is, where did so many Han debt coins come from? Did you cast it yourself, or did you bring it from Nangong Qianzhuang? ”

"The second thing, the emperor wants to know, you are busy running for officials and getting titles for the Li clan in Longxi, and you are busy giving them money to repair the mansion, what do you want to do?"

As soon as they met, before Yang Chuan could speak, Cui Jiu asked expressionlessly, on Aomori Sen's old face, those fine wrinkles were like spider silk, dense, and quite terrifying.

Yang Chuan ignored the old thief's question, but laughed: "Oh, Uncle Cui Jiu, you want to kill me." ”

"Don't you know, in the recent days, I have been able to see you every night in my dreams, so I ordered the kitchen to prepare some ingredients, and waited for Uncle Cui Jiu to come to Longxi County and cook an authentic immortal jumping over the wall for you."

"Let's go, hurry into the house, let's talk while eating......"
