Luo Tianchu began to inquire about the recent situation one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Gongsun Mingyue handed over all government affairs to Cui Xing during his serious illness, Cui Xing was originally the Taishou of Chang'an, and he was familiar with the relationship between the land, and handled the government affairs in an orderly manner, and also hoarded a large amount of grain and grass according to the order of Gongsun Mingyue, and built a granary to prepare for the war.
Xianyang, Baoji, Fengxiang and other big cities have to go to Chang'an every two months to report on their work, although I don't have to come in person, but the letter is not allowed to be written by others, the affairs must be detailed and true, Cui Xing will also personally go to spot checks. Honest and disciplined government affairs are the cornerstone of a country's prosperity and strength, and if the cornerstone is unstable, even a high-rise building built with a million-strong army will collapse with a bang. Under the strict requirements, the vacant official positions in Guanzhong have been screened and are now full, and the people of the nearby towns of Jinqi and Qi have moved into Guanzhong, and the population and people's livelihood are like materials used to build houses, no matter how high the buildings are to be built, they must be taken from the people and used by the people. Gongsun Mingyue is especially concerned about the people's livelihood, and repeatedly told Cui Xing not to wait for the people who came to defect, Cui Xing is an excellent executor, almost every household has an arrangement, so that no one in the local area begs for food, so that one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, many people in the affected towns also flocked to come, Cui Xing was so busy that he was overwhelmed, and the number of people working under him was increasing day by day, and the entire government system was more perfect. Today's Guanzhong is like a flywheel ship that gradually accelerates and spins faster and faster, as long as it takes time, this big ship will break the waves and go out to sea in the storm at will.
The training of the army is in charge of Lu Fei, Du Kill, and Cai Lianhua, and now the whole army has expanded to 180,000 people, plus the newly acquired 40,000 war horses, and has the capital to dominate the world. The equipment and equipment of the army are handled by Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng, and they are rich and easy to do, and a large amount of gold from the treasures of Qianliao is used on the blade, but the quantity is huge, and it will still take a year and a half for more than a dozen blacksmith shops to work day and night. The intelligence work is taken care of by Li Xiao, Gongsun Mingyue handed over the information and carrier pigeons of the eyeliner to him, he was born as a spy, not only lived up to the trust of Gongsun Mingyue, but also developed a number of new spies in various places, the huge intelligence network after Gongsun Mingyue's many years of operation, can be called the first in the world, the two countries of Jin and Song are far from comparable, although he is idle and recuperating, but no matter which aspect of the difficulties will ask him for advice, he can also give the most appropriate solution, is the backbone of everyone's hearts, in some ways than Luo Tianchu is more important。
After listening to the report, Luo Tianchu was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "With you to help me, why worry about the big thing! You here have old brothers who have known each other for many years and new brothers who have not been in the fort for a long time, but as long as you sit here, you are all good brothers, there is no difference between you and me, everyone is striving for the same goal, and I will treat everyone equally and do a great cause with everyone." The crowd responded with a bang, and the atmosphere was intense. Gongsun Mingyue and Lu Fei glanced at each other, nodded their heads secretly, and thought that Luo Tianchu was now more and more mature, and knew how to win people's hearts and boost morale, what newcomers like Pei Zifu were most worried about was that their qualifications were shallow, they had no merit, and they were dwarfs, Luo Tianchu's words made them have all their doubts, and they were even more willing to work for him.
Luo Tianchu continued: "What I am going to say next is the major secrets of my castle, if it is spread out, it will make us die without a place to bury, but I can trust you, no one needs to leave the table, I will tell you here." Gongsun Mingyue secretly applauded again, Luo Tianchu's move is ten times more clever than any means to win people's hearts, if you want to get the trust of others, you must first trust others, only this open-mindedness is not comparable to few people, and he is not casually credulous to trust others, everyone here is a brother who has stood the test and shared weal and woe, otherwise he would not dare to take risks.
Pei Zifu and others all showed a grateful look, and they all wanted to make meritorious service to repay Luo Tianchu's trust, Luo Tianchu saw that the goal was achieved, and began to narrate the experience of his trip, when everyone heard that Zhu Yu killed Song Lianfeng, they all applauded, but Luo Tianchu also concealed it, and did not expose Zhu Yushi's current identity, and also omitted the episode of Huishan's part, and then narrated the trip to Dongting, he did not hide it, and described every step of the strategy in great detail, everyone was amazed by Yue Fei's strategy and also felt a sense of crisis for the fall of Mrs. Yang, and now the two strongest civil uprisings have been extinguished, I don't know if Guanzhong will also repeat the mistakes of the pastIn the end, Luo Tianchu solemnly explained the agreement between him and Yue Fei, that is, to help Yue Fei to fight together, when Luoyang will return to my Blood Knife Fort, and other towns will return to the Great Song Dynasty, and then officially ally with Yue Fei, and then crusade against the Jin State, before the Jin State is destroyed, this alliance will never be dispersed.
Everyone was excited when they heard this, and even Gongsun Mingyue's face was flushed red with excitement, this was also a good opportunity that he had been waiting for, Gu Yao and Zhao Hengshan understood why Luo Tianchu dared to refuse Xixia's invitation, it turned out that he had already had an agreement with Yue Fei, and Luo Tianchu really would not abolish the public for personal reasons. Lu Fei thought more far-reaching, thinking that Yue Fei was just a general of the Song Dynasty, and in the end he would always obey the orders of the imperial court, which might become a hidden danger for future cooperation, but the current situation was very good, and it was inconvenient to put it forward. Now Luo Tianchu has given everyone goals and directions, and finally said a few words of encouragement before the meeting ended, and everyone was full of confidence when they left, ready to do a big job.
Luo Tianchu saw that Li Xiao was delaying and knew that he had something to say, so he invited him and Lu Fei into the inner courtyard. After coming to the study, Luo Tianchu asked: "Brother Li, what's the matter?" Li Xiaodao: "I just got the news today, there is a person named Shi Tong, who claims to be a friend of Zhu Yushi, and this morning he brought his wife and daughter to Tongguan to report that someone will kidnap Zhu Yushi's new wife Zhu Zhirui and abscond to Guanzhong in the near future, let us pay attention to it, according to him, Brother Zhu's newlywed wife is as beautiful as a fairy, and she will never be unrecognizable, and the person who kidnapped her is ugly and lame, and she is also very easy to recognize." Luo Tianchu was happy and worried when he heard it, and he was happy that Xiao Zhu and Zhu Zhirui had finally achieved a positive result, which showed that he had stepped out of the shadow of He Yuelian and bravely started a new life, and the worry was that if Zhu Zhirui also had three long and two short, it would be an extremely heavy blow to Zhu Yushi, so he said: "I will leave for Tongguan." Lu Fei said: "The castle master has just returned, you are indispensable in the city, Xiao Zhu's affairs are left to his subordinates, as long as his younger siblings set foot in Guanzhong, his subordinates will have the confidence to let her escape." Luo Tianchu absolutely believed in Lu Fei's ability, and said, "There is such a master Lao." ”
After Lu Fei and Li Xiao left, Luo Tianchu returned to the room alone, and as soon as he closed the door, the confident smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a strong physical and mental exhaustion, the heart was far more tired than the body, he and Yi fell on the bed and carefully pondered Gu Yao's comments on himself a few days ago, and found that every word spoke to his heart, he did like Ling Xue'er a few years ago, when the two of them were in love, attracted to each other, and their feelings were young and simple. The difference is that Ling Xue'er upgraded "like" to love, Luo Tianchu had no time to ponder this relationship because of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but it was downgraded to "brother and sister love", but now as soon as he closed his eyes, it made Xue'er's delicate body tremble, and the pitiful tearing scene, at this moment he realized that he also loved her, only because he was busy buried his emotions deep in his heart, and he didn't want to dig it, thinking it was just brother and sister love. That day, Xue'er's heartbroken eyes and touching tears made him realize it, but unfortunately he couldn't turn back when he got to that point, so he could only let her go, but fortunately, he was accompanied by Liu Shaoqing.
Li Qingwan has loved her for a longer time than Ling Xue'er, and it can be seen from the fact that she still has the pair of dice that she has never forgotten herself. Luo Tianchu always has three scruples about her, maybe it's because she's cunning, maybe it's because her intelligence is not inferior to herself, most men don't like women who are too smart. But Li Qingwan is the person who knows his inner thoughts best, more than Zhu Yushi, and this feeling of being penetrated into his heart makes him feel uncomfortable. Li Qingwan must love herself, and only for the person she loves deeply, she will not hesitate to spend a lot of time with her, and is even willing to sacrifice her virginity. Luo Tianchu thought that she could handle their relationship well, no matter how she seduced, she would only treat her as a girl, but after a long time, she couldn't help but be attracted by her unique charm, laughing without losing her intelligence, and her enthusiasm was cute, not to mention that they were all smart and clever people, martial arts, they could fight side by side on the battlefield, and they also had unique opinions when discussing major events, and they were not bored in their spare time, and there were many common languages, and it was difficult for such girls to like it.
If there is no Yeluqi's experience, Luo Tianchu may agree to Li Qingwan's marriage, Yeluqi is a scar in his heart that is difficult to heal, he usually doesn't dare to think about it, as long as he thinks about it, it is heartache, he feels the most guilty about Luqi, it is a woman who will dedicate everything to himself, but he doesn't love her at all, and he made a marriage contract with her just to get the treasure of Qianliao. Not only did she not feel sad about her father's death, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so that she would not be embarrassed when she arrived in Chang'an. In fact, the last thing he dared to think about was whether Yeluqi should be sad or happy if he didn't come with him, if he came, it would definitely be chaotic, and Xue'er was likely to leave early, but when he listened to Jin Wushu proudly talking about Yeluqi's recent situation in the Persian tavern, he only felt his heart like a knife, and secretly scolded himself for being an out-and-out big bastard, and actually made a girl who loved him so heartbroken, and went to marry a man she hated, and was pregnant, Luo Tianchu only hated that the utilitarianism was too heavy at that time, and hurt her to such an extent, if he could give him a chance to choose again, he would not hesitate to take Yeluqi with him, and now he can only regret infinitely in the dead of night, That's why he didn't agree to Li Qingwan's marriage, he didn't want to do this kind of thing that was ashamed of his conscience a second time. The three women who had liked him now hate him to the core, and although he was seen by others as youthful and beautiful, he felt that he was a failure.
Drowsiness arose in the hazy thoughts, and just when I fell asleep, I heard Cui Xing say outside the door: "The castle lord can ask to see his subordinates." Luo Tianchu rested for half an hour and was satisfied, after seeing Cui Xing, he learned that there are two important meetings that need to be presided over by himself, one is a debriefing meeting composed of officials from various cities in Guanzhong, and the other is composed of wealthy businessmen in Guanzhong, they said that they want to wash the dust for Luo Tianchu, in fact, they want to win over the relationship and send silver to please, although Luo Tianchu does not like this kind of occasion, but he also does not refuse, and after getting "filial piety", he handed over all the silver to Cui Xing for confiscation.
