"Trouble is yet to come."

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone was thoughtful.

Indeed, this is just the beginning, and it will be so troublesome to join the company, and you have to fight wits and courage, and the rest of the things are still troublesome.

"So what do we do?"

A quartermaster asked.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "Everyone, what is the reason why we won today?" ”

Liu Quan thought for a while and said, "Unity! There is strength in numbers! Even if any of us do this alone, even if this strategy is good, it is useless. A single tree does not make a forest, and a flower cannot become a spring. ”

"That's right!"

Yu Qian took out a chopstick and skimmed it, "A chopstick is not tough enough, but what if it is a pair of chopsticks?" ”

Then, he took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Liu Quan.

Liu Quan broke hard, and sure enough, he kept breaking.

The power of unity is great!

At this moment, everyone understood what Yu Qian meant.

Yu Qian said loudly: "A pair of chopsticks cannot be defeated, we should unite, I propose that all the mayors of our Jiangning County form an alliance from today." Let's figure out ways together, communicate with each other, help each other when we have difficulties, and face them together, how about it? ”

Everyone said in unison: "Good! We are an alliance today, sharing weal and woe! ”

Afterwards, everyone raised their glasses to sign an alliance.

Liu Quan smiled and said: "I propose to elect the leader of the alliance, who do you think can take on this great responsibility?" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Yu Qian, and everyone laughed and said, "Who else can there be besides Yu Qian?" ”

Yu Qian hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm too young, let's choose another talent."

"That's not good, except for Yu Qian, who else can serve?"

"Yes, there is no elder or younger, the master is the first, Yu Qian, although you are young, everyone will obey you."

"That's it, Yu Qian, you can't shirk, you must respond."

Everyone began to nominate Yu Qian, saying that except for Yu Qian, no one else could.

Seeing this, Yu Qian had no choice but to give up: "Then I might as well be respectful." ”

And Yu Qian also felt that if not

"Good! Let's have another toast to this alliance! ”

"Cheers!!"

The wine glasses were raised one after another, and here in Jiangning County, all the mayors of the district reached an alliance led by Yu Qian for the sake of their future careers.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

However.

It's better on Yu Qian's side.

As for the mayors of other places, they are anxious.

Nanjing City,

In the barracks.

The spies sent by Li Xiao from all over the country began to report to Li Xiao on the situation in various places.

The situation seems to be very bad.

Barracks Chamber.

Li Xiao and Li Jinglong sat at the table, and on the table was a mountain of secret reports.

These secret reports are all news reported by spies sent out by Li Xiao.

Although after these people went out, it seemed that Li Xiao had been ignoring it.

In fact, Li Xiao is still very concerned about their movements.

"Damn, the dog officer should be killed!"

After reading a secret report, Li Jinglong was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "It says that the magistrate of this sentence said that he went on an errand, and directly dried the district chiefs for two days, and the district chiefs took the lead in making trouble, rushed into the county office, and found that the county magistrate was not there, and a hundred people were arrested in the prison of the county government. Even the head of the district sent by the imperial court was arrested, how can this be justified. ”

Li Xiao sat on the chair, gently stroked the tea foam with the tea lid, and said with a smile: "The mayors of Jurong County are not worried, how can they rush to the county government?" Isn't this just the right thing, and it makes sense to be caught in prison, it's too impulsive. ”

Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "National teacher, don't you care?" ”

Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "What's the matter?" They are so unstrategic, and they deserve to be caught in prison, so let them suffer in prison, which can be regarded as tempering. The great task descended from heaven must first work its muscles and bones. ”

Li Jinglong: "."

The way the national teacher tempers is really special.

They're all in jail

Is it also a tempering?

Li Jinglong took out another secret report and said: "This magistrate is also hateful, but he arranged for someone to join, and then he ignored it, and he didn't say that he was sent to the official to introduce him." When people went to the village, the villagers didn't believe it, thinking they were liars, and they were beaten out of the village."

Li Xiao: "."

It seems that mass work is not easy to do.

Li Xiao was helpless and began to flip through the secret reports one by one.

There are several places where they are dried, and there are several places where the disturbance is suppressed.

Before the people arrived, they were deflated everywhere.

It is also in line with Li Xiao's original conjecture, if these people help them solve their problems, this is unrealistic.

"Hey, this Yu Qian is not bad."

Li Jinglong suddenly found out the secret report of Jiangning County, and after reading it, he laughed and said: "National teacher, this is good, it is also hung by the county, but this Yu Qian directly led everyone outside the county to popularize the policy of the dormitory to the villagers, attracting hundreds of people to watch. In the end, the magistrate personally invited these people in and hired them. And at the same time, they publicized outside the county office, which is tantamount to letting the people know in advance that this matter is true, because if it is fake, they will have been arrested by the people of the county government a long time ago, and publicizing it outside the county government is equivalent to the endorsement of the county government. Tall! In the end, they also reached an alliance and elected Yu Qian as the leader of the alliance, and the mayors of Jiangning County united. ”

"Huh? Finally, there is a different one. ”

Li Xiao was overjoyed, stretched out his hand, "I'll take a look"

After receiving the secret report handed over by Li Jinglong, Li Xiao said with a smile: "What an anti-guest, the national teacher really did not misunderstand Yu Qian, Yu Qian is talented." ”

It's equivalent to nonsense, Li Xiao has long known that Yu Qian is a great talent.

Otherwise, you won't be able to leave a name for eternity.

This was said to Li Jinglong.

"Good, great."

Li Jinglong was also very happy, these days, he could see that his daughter was interested in Qian, and Yu Qian didn't mean it, but politely refused to say that career was important.

It seems that both parties should love each other.

When the time comes, ask the national teacher to be a matchmaker and pull a line, and this family business will be completed.

After all, Yu Qian regards Li Xiao as his favor, and admires Li Xiao very much, almost obeying his words, as long as Li Xiao speaks, the family will be successful.

Unexpectedly, I, Li Jinglong, can also find a good son-in-law.

Li Jinglong has always been very envious of Zhu Di, the reason why Zhu Di is doing everything smoothly, in the final analysis, is not because he recruited a good son-in-law?

Not only Li Jinglong, but the vassal kings everywhere, who doesn't have a son-in-law?

But whose son-in-law can compare to Li Xiao?

If time can be turned back, those vassal kings are afraid that they can break their heads if they rob Li Xiao

"National teacher. That"

Li Jinglong looked at Li Xiao and said with a smile: "Can you help me talk about a matchmaker, the girl in my family is already interested in Qian, you simply promote this beautiful marriage, okay?" ”

Li Xiao smiled: "That's what I mean, when this matter is settled, the national division will come forward to take a lead, haha."

Li Jinglong arched his hand: "Thank you." ”

In this way, Yu Qian is very appreciated by Li Xiao, and he can be regarded as half an apprentice.

Li Jinglong's daughter married Li Xiao's apprentice, isn't this a kiss on top of a relative.

The two of them then read the secret reports from various places.

There is a new discovery.

"National teacher, you see, not everyone is deflated, and there is a county magistrate who does practical things, they support the national policy of the district, but they also encounter difficulties"

Li Jinglong found a secret report and handed it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took the secret report and nodded: "That's right, not all the counties have been corrupted, and there are still people who are good officials, and the national division has also found out." ”

The magistrate of the county, which has a total of three counties, is a formal imperial examination, with ambition and a righteous heart, but he can't show it, and he has suffered from the local strong squires for a long time.

They warmly received the head of the dormitory who came here, and they were in favor of the reform with both hands, trying to promote the reform together, and such a head of the house was lucky.

Li Xiao's reforms, as long as you study them carefully, will find that they are very good.

If we get rid of the messy taxes such as the poll tax, the population will grow dramatically.

The land was leased to the peasant households by the imperial court, and there was no need to collect taxes in the future, because the tax was collected at the moment of renting, and these things were handled by the district.

The county government will also be able to free up their hands to do other things that benefit the people.

In addition, if the village enterprises are operated properly, the local people can get better remuneration.

The most important thing is that those powerful squires who have annexed a lot of land can no longer sit back and enjoy their success, waiting every day to collect rents and fish the common people.

The benefits are too numerous to mention.

But

The secret report said that the three magistrates were very supportive, and they also personally followed the district chiefs to the countryside together, but they were also deflated.

The villagers in the village did not sell their land to them at all.

Even the office space in the dormitory area could not be freed up for construction.

"This is the 'yang scheme' of those powerful squires."

Li Xiao said out loud, in fact, he had already guessed that they would do this.

The local tycoons simply won't sit still.

No matter how good Peking is, these people will not envy it.

As long as the land is in hand, all that needs to be done is to find tenants to cultivate it, and it is enough to sit back and enjoy its achievements, and pass it on from generation to generation.

Many powerful lands were handed down from the Yuan Dynasty, and during the rebellion, many families also provided Zhu Yuanzhang with food and people to help the war.

Even if there is a change of court, as long as they have land, no matter who is the emperor and who they follow, they can make a profit.

Unless there are descendants who are defeated, and all of them are defeated at one time, they will decline.

But this kind of thing will hardly happen, the family has money and food in their hands, they have more educational resources, and their children will only be better, more able to read, and more intelligent.

For example, Sun Chuanting, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, is a typical person from a strong family, with tens of thousands of books at home, and his father asks his master to learn whatever he wants.

There is also Wu Sangui like this, but he is from a prestigious family that is two levels higher than Haoqiang, both learning literature and martial arts, and he was admitted to the martial arts examination before the age of twenty and became an official.

Because there are land resources in hand, whether it is a local tycoon, or a scholar, a gatekeeper, or a family. Their family has always been able to cultivate talents and prosper the family.

It's not that ordinary families can't produce talents, in fact, there are a lot of talents from ordinary families, such as Yu Qian, Qi Jiguang, Lu Xiangsheng, etc.

But at the end of the day, the more resources you have, the better your chances of nurturing talent.

But now it's different.

Li Xiao wants to break this balance, so that the gap between the rich and the poor can be shortened, so that everyone can have food and education. Under the population base, more and all kinds of talents can appear.

And for those who are strong in the local area.

Someone who wants to take the land from their hands wants their life.

"Oh no."

After Li Jinglong learned the news, he frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's the thunderstorm talks, those family members joined forces, colluded, and didn't allow the people to sell land, so that our people can't even buy a place as an errand yamen."

There should be a place for errands in the dormitory, and the place should not be too small.

It needs to have the appearance of a yamen, with a propaganda board on the outside and an office space inside.

It can't be too remote, it's best to be located in the middle of the village, but the people in the village refuse to sell their land and houses, which is very difficult, and they can't be forcibly expropriated, right?

As soon as the forced conscription was made, the villagers united, and then it became a popular change.

Li Xiao said: "Although it is the other party's conspiracy, it is indeed a headache, and can only give higher compensation, the problem is that the villagers are afraid that they are not willing to anger the local heroes, even if the price is high, they may not be sold." The villagers were worried that these people would not be able to handle it, so they patted their butts and left, leaving them in the local area and unable to live. ”

Li Jinglong said: "Then what should I do?" ”

Li Xiao said: "Let them make a fuss first, let the people know our determination to do this, this needs a process." ”

Li Jinglong said: "You can't wait, we've been here for three months, and there is no progress at all."

Li Xiao smiled and said: "What is three months, two or three years can be done, it is possible, wait, I have my own way to solve these problems later, let those district chiefs suffer first, and then stimulate the blood in their hearts to fight against them, when the time comes, I will take action." ”

Li Jinglong said: "Seeing that the national teacher is so confident, I am relieved, although this matter is difficult in my opinion, but in the eyes of the national teacher, I am afraid it is not worth mentioning." ”

Li Jinglong laughed and said, "It's a prize, it's a prize." ”

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Li Xiaodao.

Qiushui walked in and arched his hand: "The head of the family, the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei sent a message to Qinglong, in three months, he has reorganized Jinyiwei, eliminated dissidents, and left behind all the trusted cadres, waiting for the order of the national teacher at any time." ”

The command of Jinyiwei made it inconvenient for Qinglong to show up, and he had been secretly contacted through the light work of Qiushui, and now everyone didn't know that Li Xiao had actually controlled Jinyiwei.

Li Xiao put down the teacup and smiled: "Okay, just wait for the green dragon to be in place." ”

As he spoke, Li Xiao took out a list from his body, handed it to Qiushui, and ordered: "Let Qinglong wait for the order at any time, and when I give an order, all the people on the list will be arrested at the same time for me. ”

"Yes, master, the slave and maid will be sent."

Qiushui's eyes were clear, and he looked at Li Xiao with admiration in his heart.

But it's hidden deep and undetected.

After taking the list, Qiushui retreated and sent the message.

Li Jinglong on the side was excited, the national teacher is the national teacher, a strategizing look, I don't know what to do, but something big should happen soon
