【Chapter 382】 This is not what it used to be
Winter goes to spring, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
The three years of the first peace have passed, spring has returned to the earth, and the new year is coming as scheduled.
Hanyang-gun, the county watchhouse.
Since the beginning of winter last year, Li Li has moved the Liangzhou administrative office from Wuwei County to Hanyang County, where he accompanies his family to survive the severe cold.
Following the pregnancy of Li Xin, Chen Yu and Dong Wan, Cai Yan, Dian Wuflawless and Ren Hongchang have been happy one after another, and since then, Li Li's six wives have all been pregnant.
Li Li, who is about to become a father, is overjoyed and feels a great responsibility. He goes out early and returns early every day, in addition to the military and politics, he carefully guards his wife, not only diligently in government affairs, but also with special care when accompanying the six wives.
In his previous life, Li Li also had a wife and children, but he only had one wife and one son at that time, and he was only a family of three. Now he is a human being again, and he is fortunate to have a beautiful wife, and now he wants to be a father again. Moreover, instead of having only one wife, he had eight wives and concubines, and all six of them were pregnant, and in a few months' time, his children would be born one after another.
More than three years after the rebirth of the late Han Dynasty, Li Li had no sense of belonging to the Eastern Han Dynasty before, and always felt extremely lonely and had no one to confide in. It wasn't until he married Li Xin and other six daughters that he finally gradually integrated into this society, and his lonely heart had a harbor to rest, and he was ambitious and heroic. Then he worked hard, fought on the battlefield without regrets, was not afraid of the sword and sword, overcame thorns and thorns, and dominated Xiliang.
Nowadays, Xiliang has been preliminarily decided, and the counties and counties of Chang'an Sanfu and Liangzhou have regained their vitality, orderly, and all industries are waiting to be developed. And he, Li Li, sits in the two states of Xiliang, is in charge of more than 300,000 Xiliang troops, and his strength is already a big cut ahead of all the princes in the world, controlling the Son of Heaven and ruling the world. Therefore, he is now a prototype of fame. Glory and wealth are already in sight. At the same time, the heirs who continue the incense lineage, that is, his children, are about to pass away.
For Li Li, Aiqing's career is a bumper harvest, and there is nothing more fortunate in life than this.
The great husband was born between heaven and earth, as it should be!
However, in the midst of great joy, while carefully caring for his wife and concubines, Li Li became more and more diligent and cautious in military and political affairs. Scrupulous. Every day, the government affairs of the counties and counties in Xiliang will be sent to his desk as soon as possible, and he has to carefully review them. When he found a problem, he either directly ordered a change in the decree, or summoned the county guards to come to Jicheng to inquire in person. When he was unable to come to visit the county guards due to official duties, he often went to the county to inspect in person. Rectify on the spot, so as to implement his ideas of governance. For most of the year. He doesn't have to worry about everything. Everything must be done personally, and there is no slackness at all.
Over time, the civil officials of the counties and counties of Xiliang, as well as Li Xuan, Li Xuan and others who stayed in Chang'an, found that their lord Li Li was not only good at recruiting and fighting, but also a commander of a large army who was good at commanding troops, and was extremely skilled in government affairs. The policy is far-reaching and effective. His cultural and martial arts can be called unparalleled in the world, and his talent is strategic, and he is a rare male lord in a hundred years.
It's just that they don't know. The reason why Li Li has to do everything personally is not because he is proficient in government affairs, but because Xiliang has just decided that all government affairs are gradually being restored, and order and government decrees are being rebuilt. At this critical moment, he must carry out his ruling ideology, urge the counties to restore the people's livelihood in accordance with his own decrees, consolidate his rule over the counties and counties of Xiliang, and establish his unbreakable dominance in Xiliang.
As Xiliang gradually recovers its vitality and the people's lives get better day by day, people will firmly remember Li Li's exploits, and his Li Li's name will also be deeply imprinted on this land. As long as he doesn't die for a day, even if Xiliang falls into the hands of other princes, the people here still remember him, and Xiliang will return to him sooner or later. Unless he dies, and the people of the counties are a different generation; Otherwise, except for him Li Li, no one else would want to snatch this territory.
It's all because Li Li now has children. In order to leave a solid and stable family business for his children, he must start preparing early, strengthen the foundation, and strive to calm the troubled times in his lifetime, so that his children can grow up to enjoy peace and not suffer from the turmoil of war.
Having children, for parents, not only represents their successors, but also shoulders a heavy responsibility.
Therefore, when all the civil and military forces in Xiliang ignored Li Li's actual age and rejoiced for his successor, Li Li felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly increased countless times, and his sense of crisis increased greatly. It is true that he is only twenty years old now, and he is still a virtual age, but he already has children. However, the younger he is, the heavier the burden on his body, and the road ahead is still very long, which can be described as a long way to go. Therefore, he must be careful every step and not make a wrong step, otherwise it will bring harm to his children and the whole family. Before, he could fight bloodily without scruples, not afraid of life and death, and that was because he was alone and had nothing to worry about. Now that he has a wife and children, how can he be as careless as usual and do whatever he wants?
Because of this, after Xiliang was initially decided, Li Li shifted all his energy to taking care of his wife and concubines and handling government affairs, and the whole person became more and more calm, gradually reined in his edge, and matured rapidly. At the same time, instead of slackening his control over the army, he quietly strengthened his control and firmly controlled the Xiliang army. As long as there is the slightest disturbance in the garrison of each battalion, he can know it as soon as possible, and then adjust the generals without missing a trace, so that the internal contradictions in the army will become invisible.
――――――――――――――――
Jicheng County Shoufu.
"Yuan Zhong and Wen You are coming so fast! The saddle horse is tired along the way, thank you for your hard work, hurry up and get in and rest! Hehehe! ”
At the entrance of the lobby, Li Li stood on the jade steps with a smile and welcomed Li Xuan and Li Ru, who were ordered to come over, into the main hall, and waved his hand to signal that they did not have to salute and sat down to rest for a while.
After the two sat down, Li Li waved his hand and motioned for the attendant to serve tea, and then sat on top of Li Xuan, and said with a smile: "Chang'an is hundreds of miles away from here, and you will come here quickly within two days, which is too hard." This trip, along the way, was not encountered by bandits and bandits, right? ”
"Hehehe!" Li Xuan took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "The lord said that he was laughing. Now that all the counties and counties in Xiliang are stable and peaceful, and the law and order are good, how can I get Caokou? Before coming to Hanyang, his subordinates also heard that General Gao Shun, who was stationed in Zuo Fengling County, led the soldiers of the trapped camp to attack the Yellow Turban Liukou on the border of Bingzhou, and fought fiercely for several months. The Yellow Turban Army was defeated repeatedly, and a group of Yellow Turban remnants fled for their lives, and now they have fled to the territory of Hebei and Hebei Prefectures. In addition, the soldiers of the county government under the account of General Tietuo had already cleared out the bandits in various counties and counties, and the soldiers of the battalions stationed in the border counties of Liangzhou also repeatedly sent troops to recruit and suppress the Qiang tribes. Nowadays, our Xiliang Erzhou is definitely the most safe place among all the states in the world! ”
Li Xuan's voice fell, and Li Ru, who was sitting next to him, echoed: "What Yuan Zhong said is extremely true. His subordinates have lived in Xiliang for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to the situation of rampant bandits and bandits. Yuan Zhongsheng and I only had more than 100 horsemen accompanying us on this trip, but we had nothing to do along the way. In this situation, his subordinates were extremely uncomfortable along the road, and they always thought about why there were no robbers blocking the road! hahaha??????"
Li Li smiled with relief and said, "It seems that the two of you are still very satisfied with the security situation in Xiliang, so good!" The main battalion of our army has been dispatched for more than half a year. The generals of each battalion took the initiative to eliminate bandits and barbarian tribes. The war went well. All of them have been gained. At present, except for the 100,000 troops guarding the three passes and the soldiers of the county government, the other battalions are basically self-sufficient, which has greatly reduced the pressure on our army's grain and grass supply. Only in this way can we use the money and grain for the development of county agriculture, so that the people of Xiliang can fill their stomachs and vigorously reclaim farmland. Grazing and farming. After the summer harvest, the people will be able to harvest a season of grain, and we will no longer need to distribute grain from the government treasury to help the victims.
After the summer harvest, all counties and counties should urge the people to grow a variety of vegetables. Raise more poultry and livestock, so that you don't have enough food to eat, and you will have to go hungry from the cold. In addition, the vegetables, poultry and livestock that the people could not eat were all purchased by the county government and sent to the battalion stations, and then exchanged the cattle and sheep seized by the battalions from the garrisons and distributed them to the people in various places, exchanging goods for what they needed. Do you two think this is feasible? ”
"This is a very good move, the lord is wise!" After Li Xuan and Li Ru heard this, they showed surprise on their faces and happily agreed.
Li Li smiled lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then put away his smile and said, "I asked you to come to Jicheng this time, there is indeed something important to discuss. Now that we are sitting in Xiliang, the army is divided into parts, and we are seeking development on our own, I don't know what the situation of the princes of the Kwantung region is, have they ever gone to the court to ask for official positions? ”
After Li Xuan and Li Ru heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, and nodded yes.
Then Li Xuan had a faint smile on his face, and reported respectfully: "The lord expected it to be good. Up to now, the princes of all walks of life have successively asked the court for official positions. However, they all knew that the lord unified Xiliang, and the situation in Chang'an was different from the past, so they all sent people to pay money and grain to the imperial court this time, and took the opportunity to ask for official positions in the name of tribute.
In September of last year, Liu Biao of Jingzhou sent people to send 50,000 stones of grain and grass, 10,000 gold, 10,000 horses of silk, plus five boxes of gold and silver to pay tribute to the imperial court. In the same month, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian sent people to send 30,000 stones of grain and grass, 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 horses of silk, and a few boxes of rare antiques, claiming that it was a tribute.
In November, Yuan Shao of Jizhou sent 5,000 taels of gold and more than 10 carts of cloth and satin, saying that he wanted the post of general and congratulated the lord on recovering the counties of Xiliang. Following Yuan Shao's tribute, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou sent an envoy to send 5,000 gold, 1,000 war horses, and 10 carts of cloth.
At the beginning of this year, Nanyang Yuan Shu sent an envoy to send 5,000 stone grain and grass, 3,000 gold, eight carts of cloth and 50 beauties to congratulate the lord on sweeping Xiliang and promoting him to General Wei. However, this person was unceremonious, he asked the imperial court for the post of Yangzhou pastor and hussar general, and impeached Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, for plotting against him, and also recommended Jin Shang, a famous scholar in Yanzhou, to serve as the assassin of Yanzhou. ”
"Hehehe!" Seeing Li Xuan's indignant look when he mentioned Nanyang Yuan Shu, Li Li interjected with a smile: "Yuan Shu has a very high opinion of himself and has always been stingy, this time he can pay tribute to the imperial court is already very good!" This man was quite greedy, and when he sent us a little something, he asked for so many official positions, and he also took the opportunity to impeach others and recommend talents. But he's a real villain, he has a strong sense of purpose, and he can ask for whatever he wants, which is very interesting! ”
