66 Self-knowledge
The affairs of the army have been dealt with for the time being, but the affairs of internal affairs have just begun.
What Liu Bingyun is struggling with now is the problem of people.
There is a big war every few years, and sometimes several wars a year, and there are displaced people everywhere. The farmland is basically barren and the villages and towns are basically destroyed, which is no longer a withering livelihood, but a thousand miles of uninhabited.
Now, the displaced people have basically been co-opted, except for the replenishment of the army, everyone else has begun to grow crops in relatively safe places.
But everyone needs to eat, and now there are nearly 200,000 people in Ruzhou who need to eat, but fortunately, a huge amount of grain has been seized in Huangdao Town, and it is safe for the time being. But it is not enough to have seeds for crops, cattle and farm implements for cultivating the land, even if all that is concentrated in a few large cities.
The war stopped for the time being, and the displaced people from other places began to appear in Ruzhou again, and according to the will of the commander, they still had to be all closed.
But it's easy to put it away, and you have to send someone to take care of it, otherwise what's the point? There is a need for people to organize the construction of houses, villages, and armor, to distribute grain and farm tools, to maintain law and order, and to collect taxes in the future.
Over the years, the big households have basically run out, and even if there is left, they basically only care about their own one-third of an acre.
Liu Bingyun had selected many literate people from the army to form a temporary yamen, and at the same time sent people to recruit people from all over Ruzhou, but it was still far from enough.
Under the military authority, the remaining big men in the city and the fortress outside the city did not dare not support it, but it was very good to be able to manage themselves well and not cause chaos, but they couldn't help.
Liu Bingyun knew that he wanted to be simple, and the Liu family in Hedong had a way, but he couldn't use it, at least not now, and he still had to ask for help from the Li family.
Li Shangxin knew it in his heart, and turned a deaf ear to Liu Bingyun's side knock, his face was full of helplessness.
He had already learned from Han Yuheng that Liu Bingyun was wary of the Li family, so how could he pull down his face and take the initiative to help?
Lin Jianyue is not very clear about internal affairs, and after Liu Bingyun's explanation, he also understands the current situation, but he is essentially the lord of Jingnan Road, and these big problems still have to be solved by him, and they cannot be pushed away.
Lin Jianyue is smart and can draw inferences.
"Mr. Liu, this is only Ruzhou, so do other states also have such problems?"
"Jieshuai, other states naturally have problems, such as the monopoly of wealthy families in the township to control the state and county, wanton expropriation and tyranny to raise prices, deception and concealment of strength, etc., but it is not a problem we want to solve at this stage, now we want to stabilize Ruzhou, and we must prove to everyone that Long Jiejun has the ability to govern the world."
Lin Jianyue is facing a new place to learn, and he has to solve problems while learning, if he wants to really get to the top, it is definitely not enough to only fight.
Lin Jianyue understood why Tie Qingfeng had controlled Jingnan Road for so many years, but he couldn't develop it, why he still allowed an existence like Qu Shangqun and Liu promised Wu Zhong to restrain himself.
"In this way, Mr. Liu, now that Hao Tianfeng's deputy capital is still in Ru County, you discuss with him what you need to prepare, and I am ready to let Uncle Hao go to Tangzhou to formally discuss marriage on behalf of my elders. Now that the fighting has ceased, I should be married. ”
Liu Bingyun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although he knew that Lin Jianyue had a marriage contract with Miss Li for a long time, he still didn't want his lord to be wronged at all, and even a little angry with his Liu family.
"By the way, Mr. Liu, when it comes to getting married, I haven't asked how your family is. I've been busy all this time, and I haven't had time to ask you, so I hope you don't mind. ”
Liu Bingyun turned his head to prevent Lin Jianyue from seeing his eyes, and just said: "I am also a descendant of the Liu family in Hedong, and the Liu family is no worse than the Li family, and there will be no problems with the family, as long as I am not openly hostile to Menghu, it will be fine." By the way, I also have a daughter, who is eleven years old! Knowledgeable and gifted since childhood. There are also 2 sons. ”
Liu Bingyun also had dates or not, and hit a few shots first, leaving Lin Jianyue with the impression of the Liu family and his daughter in his heart, so as to prepare for the future.
Lin Jianyue frowned and said, "This is not a long-term solution. I will arrange for Li Jizhong to connect with you, send someone to Hedong to see the situation first, and if there is anything wrong, immediately take your family members to Nanyang secretly. ”
"Yes, Shuai Shuai. But there's a question I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Mr. Liu doesn't need to be ashamed, we are now in the same boat, as long as it is beneficial to Long Jiejun, anything can be said."
"The interests of the Li family were basically unchanged during the reorganization of the army, and they were expanded in Suizhou, Tangzhou. I don't want to provoke the relationship between the marshal and the Li family, but I have doubts, I am afraid that the marshal will be restrained by the Li family like Tie Qingfeng in the future. ”
Lin Jianyue sighed and said, "Mr. Liu, I, Lin Jianyue, am just a little bandit who came out of the mountains, and I really have such a great ability to make heroes from all walks of life surrender?" To have these foundations in such a short period of time, I know very well in my heart that the Li family in Tangzhou has the biggest and most direct role. Maybe it's because of my relationship with Yun Xi, or maybe the Li family has other deeper thoughts, but what does it matter from now on? I think people should be grateful no matter where they are. ”
"Whoever gives has to be rewarded. I gave the outcasts a chance to survive, and they fought for me on the battlefield. The Li family has given me countless foods, ordnance, and even direct troops, and has also cooperated with my move to unify the military and government, which by no means makes me suspicious of them. Now it's just that they don't rob what others already have, and judging from the current situation, we must continue to get the Li family's strong help. Long Jiejun is just getting started, and if you want to expel the Tartars and recover the Central Plains, you need more families like the Li family. Don't say that I'm not being restrained at all now, even if I have it in the future, I'm willing to bear it. What is the end goal? ”
Liu Bingyun said in his heart: "You have this ability, but you don't know it, but you don't have to say it." The Li family is really powerful, and they have already seen who the handsome is...... No, we must get in touch with the family as soon as possible, transfer resources and talents to this side, even if the Hu people succeed in the end, there will be no good end in the end, how can we see that the Li family is dominant? ”
"I understand what the marshal means, but there is only one, the military power of the Long Jie Army must be in the hands of the marshal, this is the final bottom line, everything else can be discussed, I will immediately go to the deputy commander of Hao to discuss the marriage matter. I also asked the marshal to immediately arrange for Commander Li Jizhong to send someone to Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong, and I have a handwritten letter to bring home. Jieshuai, my Liu family is also Han, I was not born to want to be a national traitor, my Liu family is also powerful, I am willing to help Jieshuai achieve great causes, and I hope that Jieshuai will not be disgusted. ”
