After seeing Gaiyu, Li Jing went directly to the mansion of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Captain of Shangqingche, Young Master of the Prince, Sima of the Zhenguo Army, Sima of the Andong Dadu Hufu, and Li Zhen, the Assassin of Pingzhou.

Li Zhen has also been presiding over the construction of the Liaoning West Corridor and the construction of the new cities in Yingzhou recently, and only yesterday was ordered to return to Dengzhou by boat. Seeing Li Jing arrive, he was also very surprised, and the two of them entered the living room of the house and sat down. After the servant served the tea, he waved away the idleness, and the two slowly tasted the tea.

Regarding his subordinate martial arts, Li Jing is very clear about their attitude towards Li Tang. If you cover the apartment, you don't have any feelings for Datang. Li Jing is anti-Tang. He would definitely be the first to jump out in favor. And such as Zhang Chengye. Naturally, he is the most loyal one under Li Jing to Datang. In addition, such as Li Zhen and Li Liang brothers, they are extremely traditional strategists, they are dedicated to assisting Li Jing, but they have a kind of loyalty to Li Tang.

In the final analysis, the Li Zhen brothers are just like the concepts of many scholars and clans at present, Li Tang's prestige has long since disappeared, and these scholars are wealthy families. In fact, in my heart, I am more pursuing a social state like the Spring and Autumn Period.

They are all willing to respect Li Tang as the co-lord of the world, but they don't want to just become Li Tang's courtiers, but hope to rule the world with the Son of Heaven. In this world, Li Tang is the co-master, but the feudal towns are the princes, and the clans are the nobles, and they govern together.

But when it comes to opposing the Tang Dynasty, directly calling the king and the emperor is not accepted by many clans and literati and military generals. Their reason state, the world should still be sat by the Li family on the dragon chair. Then the various feudal towns were like the princes, and the nobles of the family also enjoyed great power.

Li Jing is a feudal town that supports the army and respects itself. No one will object, the Li Zhen brothers represent the concept of the majority of the soldiers, and they will support Li Jing. But if Li Jing wants to be the emperor and rebels, there will be many people who will not support Li Jing.

Regardless of Li Jing's intentions, first of all, he needed to achieve unification within the feudal town. It is possible to deal with external enemies only if there is internal unity.

"A few days ago, Gao Biao sent an envoy to transfer the soldiers of the national army in our town to the south to suppress the bandits, can you know the prosperity of this matter?" Li Jing is clear about Li Zhen's concept, and he also knows that Li Zhen's concept represents the concept of most of the people under the Zhenguo Army.

"The plan to send troops to Goguryeo is in the near future, and the civil and military forces of this town have been preparing for this for a long time, and now they can destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop, and the opportunity cannot be lost. The recovery of Anton is a major matter for the country and the people. Gao Biao ordered our army that although there were inappropriate points, no matter what aspect they thought about, they should not change the previous plan to attack Goguryeo. Li Zhen said his true words, he was very clear about Gao Yu's transfer of troops, and of course he understood the meaning behind it. But he didn't talk about that, just focusing on the significance of the reconquest of Goguryeo. I still don't want to see Li Jing go to the fierce opposite side of the court at this time.

"What Xingxu said, common sense. But there are exceptions, I, Li Jing, sit in Dengzhou, and I am also worried about the imperial court, but now the traitors in the court are in charge, blinding the Son of Heaven. In the final analysis, we were too tolerant in the past, so that people thought we were weak and easy to bully. Therefore, I thought that if we wanted to avoid this kind of thing from happening again in the future, our town and national army had to take a stand. A certain plan is to pay 1 million yuan of summer tax to the imperial court in August, and another 1 million yuan of autumn tax to the court in November. Everything is according to the amount of two taxes, plus a total of 2 million taels of salt and iron tea tax in September and October, and in addition, the original monthly contribution of 1 million kan is cancelled. ”

Li Jing also thought about it carefully, and happened to say it together at this time. Seeing that Li Zhen frowned and pondered, he said again: "Originally, I also wanted to take more money to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, but not only did I not get a reward for this money, but some people thought that my town was really a mountain of gold and silver, and there was no place to spend the money, so I had to come to the lion to open my mouth." Since this is the case, then we will act according to the legal system of the imperial court, and the sixteen states will pay two taxes a year, and the money and grain will be converted into two million yuan, plus the salt and iron tea tax of two million, and four million will be handed over to the imperial court. ”

"About Gao Yu's troop transfer?" Li Zhen asked.

"The national army in our town is not under the command of Gao Yu, so it is natural to ignore this chaotic life." Li Jing had already planned to give the imperial court a warning and stop paying tribute. Give the court some time first, and let the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army look better and understand. At the same time, Li Jing also needed time to finish the battle of Goguryeo. At this juncture, he naturally did not plan to send troops south. If you send fewer troops, you may be used as cannon fodder by Gao Yu, and if you send more soldiers, it will affect the battlefield in Liaodong.

After Li Zhen heard that Li Jing had no other plans, but just stopped paying tribute, he had already put down a big stone in his heart. What he was most worried about was that the young marshal would become conceited after a series of big victories in Liaodong and Liaoxi. If Li Jing wants to send troops to teach Gao Yu a lesson, this will inevitably make him worried.

Since ancient times, the first to rot.

Although Li Jing's strength is now the strongest among the towns. But it doesn't mean that this strength can be invincible in the world.

I think that at the beginning, Huaixi Jiedu made Li Xilie crusade against Liang Chongyi, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, who quelled the rebellion, and was crowned the king of Nanping County, which was extremely strong. But when the imperial court appointed him as the envoy of Ziqing and Pinglu Jiedu. When the anti-Tang Ziqing Festival was conquered, Li Nashi. However, he secretly colluded with Li Na and colluded with the rebellious Hebei feudal towns Zhu Tao and Tian Yue. He claimed to be the marshal of the world and the king of Jianxing, and after capturing Bianzhou, he directly called Emperor Chu.

Huaixi Town, where Li Xilie was located, could be described as a strong town in the world at that time, especially Ziqing and the three towns of Hebei as allies, but as a result, Li Xilie and the towns of Hebei were defeated by the Tang army. The three towns of Hebei surrendered to the queen, and Li Xilie, who was called the emperor, was poisoned by his generals.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the three towns of Hebei became weaker and weaker. Even the original Huaixi, Ziqing, Shannan Dongdao and other anti-Tang strong feudal domains were all destroyed without exception.

The Shatuo people used to be very strong, but they were not wiped out by the Tang army.

In Li Zhen's view, the hearts of the Li and Tang dynasties in the past three hundred years are still there, and the people of the world still regard it as orthodox. At this time, any feudal town that pulled the flag against the Tang Dynasty would not be supported. Even if there are 200,000 soldiers in 16 states, it will be difficult to resist the attack of dozens of towns in Datang.

Li Zhen was bent on thinking about the Zhenguo Army, and he was really afraid that Li Jing would be conceited for a while and rashly oppose the Tang Dynasty.

Zhenguo Army is now a beautiful scene in Liaodong. In fact, it is largely because of the banner of Datang. If there is no banner of Datang, it will even become the enemy of Datang. Then the Bohai and Xi and Tatar tribes will definitely change their attitudes, and even if they are not enemies of Li Jing, they will definitely not support Li Jing anymore. Similarly, the Khitan and Youzhou armies will definitely take action against the Zhenguo army.

The most crucial point is that with Tang as an enemy, where will the goods in the workshop of the Zhenguo Army be sold? Where does the population come from for supplies, and where does food come from? A Zhenguo army that relies on industry and commerce, as long as it is blocked by the Tang Dynasty, will soon be in trouble.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario. Perhaps, Li Jing can lead the Zhenguo army to sweep the Central Plains like it swept through Liaodong. But in Li Zhen's view, there is no such situation at all.

At this time, seeing that Li Jing's attitude was very clear, Li Zhen finally settled down, and his mood was very relaxed, nodding again and again, and praised: "The handsome man is reasonable, and his words are reasonable." ”

After talking with Gai Yu and Li Zhen, two important advisers, Li Jing gradually had an idea in his heart.

After returning to the county king's mansion, Li Jing, who was in a good mood, informed the mansion at lunch and invited the whole family to dine together.

Although the Li family only has Li Jing, once they get together, three generations are in the same house, but there are dozens of people.

Li's mother Han's family, plus Li Jing's wives and children, are very lively, and now, Li Jing's ten wives and concubines have given birth to Li Jing fifteen children one after another, eight sons and seven daughters, the eldest is more than three years old, and he can already hug Li Jing's thigh and shout Dad, but the younger one is still full moon. However, it is a pity that Wang Guiniang, the wife, has never given birth to a daughter since she gave birth to a daughter. Megan and Julie have always been in the barracks, and they have never given birth.

Although it is a separate meal, it is not as lively as the large round table, but this family of twenty or thirty people is also very lively.

After eating, Li Jing accompanied her mother to talk. The Han family is now pampered, and his bearing is becoming more and more graceful. The old lady is now dedicated to chanting scriptures and worshipping the Buddha, and never interferes in outside affairs, even the affairs of the house are also handed over to Wang Guiniang to take care of. Although she knew that Wang Guiniang couldn't suppress those noble-born concubines in the mansion, she rarely cared about these things.

"Since the two have entered the door, they should still be allowed to stay in the house, the woman's family, and they should be husbands and children when they get married. It's really not suitable to stay in the barracks and run to sea all day. It's only right to have a baby early! Han Shi took Li Jing's sign and said earnestly.

Li Jing just nodded, never refuting.

Han sighed and said, "How do you plan to arrange it, lady of the Yu family?" "Yu Youniang originally lived in the Li family, and it has been three years now. It's really easy to ask God to send God, and the old lady has already understood Yu Youniang's intentions, it's been three years, and there are no other arrangements at this time. However, with Li Jing's current status as the county king, even if he accepts the young lady as a concubine, although he is a little wronged, he is still reluctant to say it.

"A-Niang doesn't have to worry about these things, she will arrange them." Although he said so, in fact, Li Jing didn't know how to arrange it in his heart. Because of Yu Youniang's matter, now there is some estrangement between the Yu family and Li Jing, and Yu Xuan's side is better, that is his teacher, and he understands the specific situation. But the other three uncles in the Yu family didn't have much of a good opinion of Li Jing, and they all thought that Li Jing was mishandling things and harmed Yu Youniang. Yu Youniang has been in the Li family for three years, but she doesn't even have a name, and she can't get married even if she wants to. Because of this, the reputation of the Yu family plummeted.

After chatting with her mother for a while, Li Jing went back to the main room to rest.

As soon as she entered the house, Wang Guiniang brought Wang Haojun and Xiao Yulou in. But he came over with the account book in the house and gave Li Jing a purpose.

After Xiao Yulou entered, Mother Li completely ignored the affairs of the house, and handed over all the affairs to Wang Guiniang. However, there are two or three hundred people in the house, and Wang Guiniang is in charge, and most of the things fall into the hands of Wang Haojun, and gradually Wang Haojun does not respect Wang Guiniang very much.

In the end, Li Jing gave Gui Niang an idea to divide the affairs of the mansion into three parts, with Wang Haojun managing the specific affairs of the mansion, and Xiao Yulou being responsible for the account records of all the money and grain spent in the mansion. All the things that Wang Haojun needs, the money and food he needs, must be entered into the account here in Xiao Yulou. Then Wang Guiniang was only responsible for managing the money and food in the house, and all the expenses, monthly expenses, etc. were all received by her. However, all the money needs to be used by Wang Haojun to first write a specific note, and then go to Xiao Yulou to exchange it for a money receipt in order to get the money from her.

In this way, the affairs in the house are divided into three parts, Wang Haojun is in charge of affairs, Xiao Yulou is in charge of accounts, and Wang Guiniang is in charge of money. Whether it is in charge or in charge of accounts, anyway, the most difficult money has to be taken from Wang Guiniang, so Wang Guiniang is not worried about much now, but no one dares to despise it.

"The affairs of the house, just take care of a few of you, I won't worry about it." Li Jing didn't look at the account books, and said with a smile.

The three ladies all wanted to spend more time with Li Jing in private, but when they were together, they were embarrassed to stay longer and leave together. After a while, Wang Haojun returned alone. Li Jing looked at her with some curiosity, since she was reprimanded by Li Jing for meddling in military and political affairs, she was dedicated to taking care of the affairs of the house, and the Li Mansion of hundreds of people was well organized by her.

And in the past three years, two sons have been born successively, thanks to the rise of Dengzhou's medical level, the three sons have grown up very healthy. Wang Haojun's status in the mansion has also risen more and more, especially when the main room has not given birth to children, and he has become the mistress of the mansion.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Jing doesn't dislike Wang Haojun, but she just thinks that she is sometimes not satisfied with her duties and is a troublemaker.

Wang Haojun is very smart, otherwise, he would not have given birth to three sons in a few years. Women who are both smart and beautiful are generally always very advantageous.

She didn't speak, just took out a fold from her sleeve and handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jing took the fold and opened it with some doubts, but saw that what was written on it was actually a response to Gao Yu's order. Looking at the handwriting of the silk show, Li Jing recognized at a glance that this fold was written by Wang Haojun. Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart first, Li Jing glared at Wang Haojun and looked down.

After reading it at a glance and ten lines, Li Jing couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Because the countermeasure proposed by Wang Haojun is very simple but very constructive, that is, to agree to Gao Yu's order. Then transfer 2,000 people to a fleet of the Zhenguo Army, plus 10,000 people from the two infantry armies of the Zhenguo Army, and then transfer the 20,000 people of the four armies that Ji Tan had just attached. Assemble these 30,000 people into a southward marching camp.

Of course, Wang Haojun's real intention was not to really encircle and suppress Huangchao on Gao Yu's orders, but to take this opportunity to go south. According to the plan made by Wang Haojun, he first went down to Haizhou along the coast to Taining Junhaizhou, occupied Yuzhou Island, a large coastal island, as a supply point for the south, and stationed troops on the island of the First Army. Then the army continued to move south, until the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then occupied the big island of Haikou, Hu Tuzhou, and stationed troops on it.

Hu Tuzhou is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, not far from the north of the Yangtze River is Yangzhou, the seat of the Huainan Army, and not far from the south of the Yangtze River is Runzhou, the seat of the town navy. If the Zhenguo army stationed 20,000 soldiers and horses and a fleet here, this can really be said to be a rope around Gao Yu's throat.

Wang Haojun bit his red lips lightly with his jade teeth, and looked at Li Jing with nervousness in his heart.

She is always unwilling to be lonely, unwilling to be trivial in the house, but it is a pity that Li Jing has always refused to give her the opportunity to participate in political affairs. This time, she took a great risk and made this countermeasure, but she didn't know if it was right or wrong! (To be continued......)
