Chapter 869: The Xiao Family's Emissary
Therefore, he wants to let these people have a certain amount of savings, wants them to experience the taste of peace first, and wants them to take root and sprout completely in Bashu.
But this does not mean that Li Xinchen really can't get what he wants, once Li Xinchen asks, these people are still happy to give Li Xinchen enough food and money. Because they know very well who brought them everything they have now, and who is defending them.
Sometimes I even have to wonder if God is really helping Li Xinchen. Whether it is the Bashu people who are at the end of the road, or the people of Bashu who have just experienced the grain failure and war, what they need most is a person who can bring them stability and food and clothing, there is no doubt that this person is Li Xinchen now, so Li Xinchen still has a considerable position in the hearts of the people of Bashu, which is why Li Xinchen can now obtain a steady stream of soldiers, not only because there are more opportunities to make contributions to fighting under Li Xinchen, but also because these people believe in Li Xinchen and believe that he will bring them more protection. Therefore, they are also willing to follow Li Xinchen in the battle to defend their homeland.
Giving and reaping are inherently relative, Li Xinchen believes that he can bring more to the people of Bashu, and naturally he will be able to get more from the people of Bashu in the future.
As long as there is enough money, then whether it is to build a school, a pharmacy, a workshop or a shop, there is a foundation, as for how to make more moneyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· In the end, I am afraid that it will have to fall on the two wronged leaders of Bei Zhou and Nan Chen, but fortunately, now Li Xinchen is already in a semi-independent state, and he has the ability to "negotiate business" with them as an equal.
"Husband?" Xiao Xiang's voice suddenly dragged Li Xinchen back from his imagination, and Li Xinchen only found out at this time that Xiao Xiang didn't know when he had blown out the candles in the room, and the little girl was lying on Li Xinchen's chest, and was gently circling Li Xinchen's chest with a strand of hair.
"It's not early, do you want to sleep?" Xiao Xiang asked tentatively.
Li Xinchen laughed, did not answer, and directly reached out to pull over the futon, and wrapped himself and Xiao Xiang in it at once. Xiao Xiang shrunk into Li Xinchen's arms, feeling the warmth that he hadn't been close to for almost a year.
ββββββ-
Early the next morning, Li Xinchen saw Pei Yi who came from Jiangzhou, this old man who had been stumbling for half his life may not have thought that this Pei's lintel would be carried forward in the hands of his son, and even he would not have been affected, otherwise it would be impossible to jump from a casual rider to a taishou who has mastered local power.
And all this, of course, is not only because of Pei Zilie's own efforts, but also because he has received help from a nobleman, who is naturally Li Xinchen. Although the old man didn't know where Li Xinchen and Nan Chen would be able to go in the end, he knew very well that the Pei family's branch with him was already proud.
Wenxi Pei's family was originally one of the top two wealthy families in the north, but some members went to the south, after all, they were not as good as the north, and several branches of the Pei family in the south also lacked centripetal force, so many years there has been no birth of a character who can blend all the Pei family branches together, and as time goes by, there is naturally a gap between the different branches, and the best mix is naturally the current Duguan Shangshu Pei Ji, and Pei Yi's branch is not poor, but it has not been enterprising.
Now that he can finally see hope in his son, of course, Pei Yi is very proud. Especially now that he is married to Xiao Maha, it makes Pei Yi feel like he is climbing, so when Pei Yi looks at Li Xinchen with a strange and trusting gaze, Li Xinchen is simply uncomfortable.
Please, uncle, I'm not your daughter-in-law, why do you look at me like that?!
Of course, Li Xinchen and Pei Yi have nothing to say, everyone is busy with a few words of greeting, after all, there are more important people who came with Pei Yi - Xiao Maha's personal guard, Chen Yu!
People who have been with Xiao Maha for a period of time know that Chen Yu is a real arm and humerus for Xiao Maha, and no matter where Xiao Maha goes over the years, there will always be this person by his side. Chen Yu is neither humble nor arrogant, he has covered Xiao Maha on the battlefield several times, but he has always avoided talking about his exploits, but it is precisely because of his modesty that Xiao Maha appreciates him very much, nominally Chen Yu is just Xiao Maha's personal commander, but everyone knows that once the war starts, Xiao Maha's Chinese army is often under Chen Yu's control, and most of the recruit training over the years is also Chen Yu is responsible.
It can be said that this person is the representative of Xiao Maha's will, and he is also respected because of his upright personality, Xiao Shilian and other younger generations have to salute more or less respectfully when they see him, and they don't regard him as a descendant of the Xiao family at all.
Xiao Maha sent Chen Yu to Xiangyang City to visit his new uncle with gift money, naturally the drunkard did not mean to drink, what he really wanted to see must be Li Xinchen.
"Chen Yu is already waiting in the council hall," Pei Zilie walked over and said in a low voice, "The person who came is not good, I'm afraid that he will come to ask for guilt." β
"Guilty?" Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Whether it's Chen Yu or Xiao Maha, who can ask about a certain crime now?" You can rest assured. β
After a pause, Li Xinchen patted Pei Zilie's shoulder: "Take care of my uncle, I'll go and meet Chen Yu." β
For the current Nan Chen, Li Xinchen is obviously an out-and-out enemy, and Xiangyang City is now undoubtedly the gathering place of Li Xinchen's forces, Chen Yu's entry into Xiangyang City is tantamount to directly entering the Longtan Tiger's Den, but obviously Chen Yu did not panic, he stood in the meeting hall, looking at the map hanging there, and was thinking about something.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Chen Yu Huoran turned his head and looked at this young man who walked over quickly, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and everything had been turned upside down.
"Uncle Chen has worked hard from afar." Li Xinchen smiled and arched his hand.
Chen Yu hurriedly bowed his hand: "The Marquis of Hanzhong is polite." β
Li Xinchen proclaimed himself the general of the expedition to the north, so it is more appropriate to call him "general", especially for the people in Li Xinchen's group, whether it is the Marquis of Hanzhong or the original general of Zhenxi, after all, they are all sealed by the imperial court, since they want to show that this group has cut off contact with Nan Chen, then it is natural to use a new official title to call Li Xinchen, but obviously Chen Yu does not want to "follow the customs".
Li Xinchen did not entangle with Chen Yu in this matter, everyone has different beliefs, Chen Yu's belief should be Xiao Maha, as long as Xiao Maha is still loyal to Nan Chen, then Chen Yu will also be loyal to Xiao Maha.
It is also an honor for Xiao Maha to meet such a person in this life.
