The life of the common people is indeed better.

But it's still hard.

In a family like Ba Ye, Li Ze has seen a lot along the way.

What makes Li Ze happy is that he sees the hope for the future in the eyes of these people, and that vision is undoubtedly the most precious. As long as there is hope, people have the motivation to work hard, and they will work hard for the happy life in hope.

Ba Ye is in his early sixties, but it seems that his spirit is excellent, and what supports him is this hope. Earning a family business for their children and grandchildren is always the most simple and innocent desire of the Chinese, and it is precisely because of the efforts of this generation that a rich and strong Greater China will be created.

"You insisted on selling land and other production materials in the form of loans, rather than free distribution like in the Northland, and now it seems right." Li Zedao.

Zhang Xundao: "One place, one policy." At that time, the policies you implemented in Beidi were in line with the actual situation in Beidi at that time, and in Shandong, I think that this will stimulate the motivation of the people even more. ”

"Yes, people like Ba Ye will live a few more years because of this policy of yours." Li Ze said with a smile: "How popular are these things in the academy and the medical hall?" ”

"The national clinic has been opened at the town level to ensure that all people can afford to see a doctor and take medicine." Zhang Xundao: "But the school is more difficult, the people here are not so keen on reading and literacy, and the poorer the family, the more so." And getting girls to go to school is even more difficult. Now only some coercive measures can be adopted, but this has caused a considerable degree of discontent, but fortunately, the government has done a good job in other areas to silence these dissatisfied voices. ”

"It's normal, the richer a place is, the more education is valued." Li Zedao: "So at the beginning, we must implement some mandatory measures, everyone's life will be better and better, but the age of the children is not waiting for anyone." ”

"When Shandong's financial resources grow, I will increase some more appropriations in this area and increase the strength in this area." Chapter Follower. "In the past two years, I really can't take care of it."

"Rice can only be eaten one bite at a time, the road can only be walked step by step, what to do, is the matter of your local government, the imperial court will only issue some macro guiding opinions, as you said before, one place, one policy, if it remains the same, rigid routine, maybe it will be unadaptable, and the good things will be done."

"Lee Sang-young!"

Li Ze looked at Zhang Xun and said with a smile: "When you were with me before, you never said that you were wise or not, but now it has changed a lot." ”

Zhang Xun also said with a smile: "In the past, I was Li Xiang's private confidential secretary, and I was considered a private minister, but now I am the governor of Shandong, so naturally there are some changes from before, but my heart for Li Xiang has always been the same." ”

Li Ze smiled.

I stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and the heat came to my face. The post station he is in now is the largest post station in Gaomi. Covering an area of several acres, the front is a restaurant, the middle is an inn, the most inside, is the core of the post station, in the backyard of the stable, there are nearly twenty good horses, a look is with the heart.

Now the entire post station is naturally all covered by Li Ze and his subordinates.

"The post station was set up outside the county seat, originally so that the messenger could not be affected by the closure of the city at night, and it could be more convenient when there was an urgent task." Zhang Xun walked to Li Ze's side and said: "I never thought that after changing the business strategy, this outside is prosperous, next to the post station, many merchants have begun to build a lot of shops here, and even the land price has risen again and again, this was originally a wasteland that is not suitable for growing crops, but the current land price is more valuable than the best fertile land, an acre of land, is worth hundreds of silver dollars." ”

"That's the cascading effect of business." Li Zedao. "When will that Zhang Guo arrive?"

"I've already sent someone back to call, and when we arrive at Jiaozhou Port, he should be able to arrive."

"Very good, this person can think of this, it's amazing, I see him, if it's not bad, can you bear to cut your love? Give me this general? Li Ze asked with a smile.

"Li Xiang can take a fancy to our Shandong people, it is an honor for someone in my chapter, is Li Xiang ready to promote this post station system throughout the country?" Chapter Follower.

Li Ze nodded: "Although the entire post station system in the north is complete, the annual financial investment is indeed a lot, if the post station system can not only complete its own tasks well, but also generate income, it is naturally excellent." Moreover, such a post station system is also the best for all aspects of intelligence gathering, and I think Tian Bo will also be interested. ”

Because Zhang Xun was the one who went out from Li Ze's side, Li Ze had nothing to hide when he spoke.

Hearing this, Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, but said, "Li Xiang, I don't think the power of the internal guard should be too great. They are not monitored, and they are financially independent, and over time, they will inevitably become a tail-end trend. ”

"Are you afraid that I will engage in spy politics?" Li Ze turned his head to look at Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows and didn't make a sound, which was equivalent to an admission in disguise.

"That is, you, dare to say such things to me. Chen Wenliang will not. Li Ze smiled: "But everything has its advantages, there are disadvantages, nothing is 100% good, we have to endure his disadvantages after receiving his benefits." However, I am already thinking about the supervision of the internal guard, and I am ready to set up a special intelligence committee, which will not only have senior officials of the internal security, but also some other high-ranking officials will be recruited into the internal security, and will be responsible for the operation and supervision of the entire internal security. ”

"If that's the case, I think it's appropriate." Zhang Xun nodded. "Chen Wenliang is different from me, he started from a humble beginning, and he worked hard all the way to achieve today's achievements, so he is naturally more cautious, but I think that working in front of Li Xiang, a person like him is more suitable than me."

Li Ze laughed: "Chen Wenliang takes you as an example, and he also wants to come out to dominate the party in the future!" ”

As he was talking about Chen Wenliang, the door was pushed open, and Chen Wenliang walked in, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and said, "Li Xiang, I just sent some military reports from Luoyang, and a few more were sent from Youjin Wuwei." ”

Li Ze stretched out his hand to take these military reports from Chen Wenliang's hand, but suddenly there was a strange sound in his ears, he suddenly looked back at the window, under the moonlight, two black dots were flying from afar, above the black shadow, a firelight was like a tail tightly attached behind it.

Li Ze's heart shrank suddenly.

He was familiar with this thing.

It was a stone bullet thrown by a trebuchet, and as for the flash of fire on it, there was only one possibility, and that was that there was a fierce fire oil bomb attached to the stone bullet.

The goal can only be oneself.

At this moment, without thinking, he grabbed Chen Wenliang and threw Chen Wenliang out of the window, and he followed closely behind Chen Wenliang, and directly turned over the window with an upside-down onion.

"Jump!" Being in the air, Li Ze yelled.

Zhang Xun's reaction was not slow, he followed closely behind Li Ze, propped up the window with both hands, and the whole person jumped down.

Li Ze turned over in the air, landed with his feet, and then rolled under a big tree not far away, while rolling, he didn't forget to grab Chen Wenliang, hug him tightly and roll backwards together. Zhang Xun was alone, but he came from behind and had already rolled behind the big tree.

Li Ze and Zhang Xun have both practiced martial arts since childhood, their bodies are strong, and they are not lacking in skills, Chen Wenliang is not good, he was thrown from the second floor by Li Ze, and when he landed, one leg was already broken. was held by Li Ze and rolled all the way, and the whole person was stunned.

In the process of three tumbling, a huge whistling sound hit the building where Li Ze was just now, with a loud bang, the roof of the building was penetrated, and then a huge explosion was heard.

Countless sparks flew in the air, wooden buildings were torn apart, and countless planks, roof beams, and rafters flew in the air with sparks. Li Ze dragged Chen Wenliang and continued to retreat, until he retreated to the wall, and then stopped.

It was a well-planned assassination, and it wasn't just about two stone bullets. If the most advanced trebuchet of Datang is used, then there will be a second round of attacks at most in three breaths.

There was chaos in the inn in an instant.

Countless guards rushed in from the outside, and with the sound of horses' hooves, a group of men and horses had already rushed out of the inn and hurried away in the direction where the stone bullets were flying.

The range of the trebuchet can be estimated, and the direction can also be determined, and the approximate range of the Assassins is within 400 paces of the station.

"Li Xiang, Li Xiang!" Li Peng, the commander of the guards, rushed to the front in a little panic, and when he saw the collapsed two-story building, he felt that the sky was about to fall.

"I'm here!" Li Ze slowly walked out of the shadows under the wall.

Dozens of guards rushed up, the big shield in their hands was opened, covering Li Ze and the three of them tightly, one of the guards carried Chen Qiliang on his back, and the group quickly moved towards the open space.

There was a whistling sound in the air again, and two more stone bullets flew over with fire tails, hitting Xiaolou's location again, completely destroying the remaining ruins of Xiaolou.

At this time, Li Ze was already under the protection of the guards and retreated to the spacious dam in the backyard. More guards also rushed over, and the sound of alarm bells rang above the Gaomi City Tower at the same time.

There is no third round.

When the Assassins launched a second round of attacks, their positions were completely locked.

"Good means!" Li Ze's face sank like water.

I have to say that this attack is really dangerous. If he hadn't happened to be standing in front of the window, if he hadn't been particularly familiar with the whistling sound of trebuchets, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.
