Chapter 472 How can one mountain accommodate three tigers?
After the meeting was over, it was hard to tell what kind of mood Anxi's senior generals were in when they left. However, Liu Min returned to his office with a relieved look on his face and invited Wen Guogong to come and have a chat with Deming.
"Please help Mr. Wen more!" Please sit down with Deming, Liu Min solemnly thanked him.
Seeing his posture, it was impossible for Xiang Deming to hold him up. He quickly stood up and supported Liu Min, and then said seriously: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite, this is just what I should do!"
In fact, Liu Min would not have been able to control the rhythm of today's meeting from beginning to end without Xiang Deming's help.
Therefore, Liu Min also said in a sincere tone: "In the past ten years or so, without the help of Duke Wen, there would never have been any fruitful results in the Western Expedition, nor would Anxi be what it is today!"
Compared with those heroes and meritorious generals of the Western Expedition, Xiang Deming naturally did not have any illustrious military exploits, but as the great steward of the entire Anxi, he coordinated the supply of logistics and military supplies for all armies, and he had an absolutely high position.
Of course, even without the prestige accumulated from being in power for many years, no one would dare to underestimate Xiang Deming, especially since he has inherited the title of Duke of Xiangxun and Wen Kingdom, which is a symbol of privilege that even a big man can rank high.
, let alone just Anxi!
He and Liu Min have developed a deep friendship over more than ten years. On the other hand, Xiang Deming, who is in his prime of life, is more than ten years older than Liu Min, and treats him with a sense of treating a younger generation. Over the years,
He has always been a dedicated assistant, and as long as he approves of Liu Min's decision-making, he will support it without leaving any room. This time's "camp system" reform proposal, of course, also provided support to Deming.
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite!" Looking at Liu Min's solemn face, Xiang Deming sighed, paused, and said: "Your Highness, once this system is implemented, Anxi will have no other way out! The imperial court will inevitably
A storm is inevitable, and Anxi can only truly rely on herself from now on!"
"I understand!" Liu Min nodded, without any hesitation on his face: "I am also ready to face all challenges!"
"Anxi can't always be like a suckling baby and expect the court to support him forever!" Liu Min grinned as he said this and made a little joke.
But Xiang Deming also knew in his heart that the pressure hidden under this smiling face was also huge.
The smile faded slightly, Liu Min's expression was solemn, and he said in a firm tone: "The bloody achievements of the soldiers for more than ten years must not be let down! I don't want Anxi to be lost again after thirty to fifty years or even less.
, we were once again captured by those big cannibals. We have all seen how difficult it is for the enemies to the west, and I am definitely not an alarmist!
If we want to consolidate the achievements of pioneering, we must retain people, whether they are soldiers or civilians, only domestic immigrants are our eternal support!
Anxi is not as good as Anton. Although the water and land geography here is excellent, it is too far away from the Central Plains and difficult to control. For this reason alone, it will never be as good as Anton!
We still have a lot of food to eat, and powerful enemies like SL are watching. Our demand for population is hungrier and more urgent than Anton!
If you want to retain people, you must come up with more things that are more worthy of being retained!"
Having said that, looking at Liu Min expressing his feelings, Xiang Deming felt a little heavy. Unless he had experienced it personally, Anxi, a land soaked in the blood of Han soldiers and civilians, would be hard to understand the heaviness of it.
Xiang Deming saw this, and this was also the place he had been fighting for for more than ten years. It can be said that the best years of his political career were invested in Anxi, so he naturally has a protective heart. Otherwise, he may not support it.
Liu Min's excessively "deviant" camp reforms.
After pondering for a while, Xiang Deming also said solemnly: "I will definitely assist Your Highness in completing this change!"
"Thank you!" Liu Min bowed to Deming again, with a hint of reluctance in his determined eyes.
In fact, Xiang Deming's days in Anxi are numbered, and both of them know this. In fact, since Xiang Xun's death two years ago, Xiang Deming's return to the imperial court has been put on the agenda. As Duke Wen
, after the Twenty-Four Ministers of Qianyou, Xiang Deming could not stay in Anxi forever.
It is inevitable to be reluctant to let go, but Liu Min will not ask to stay, there is no need. Xiang Deming is the kind of person who cannot stay no matter how much Liu Min reforms, because he cannot give more.
Something.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at Anxi's current size, it is difficult to retain top talents with noble backgrounds.
After this major transformation in Anxi, Xiang Deming should embark on his journey back to Beijing before it is completely completed. There are still many better prospects waiting for him in Luoyang. For this, the two of them are already very happy.
There is a tacit understanding.
Of course, Liu Min also had his best wishes, not only because of their close friendship, but also from a profit perspective, if Xiang Deming supports the DPRK in the future, it will only be good for Anxi.
"Your Highness!" After thinking for a while, Xiang Deming said to Liu Min in a reminding tone: "Anxi needs to complete two changes. Based on the current strength, it is enough to complete, but the imperial court cannot be without scruples. In addition to
To express our feelings to the court and explain the truth, Anxi and His Highness King Zhao still need to find ways! If we can get the support of His Highness King Zhao, then this matter will definitely happen!"
When Xiang Deming mentioned Liu Fang, Liu Min's eyes flashed a little, but he quickly covered up the strangeness.
He responded with a very calm face: "I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. I want the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother to talk tonight!"
"Since His Highness is prepared, I won't say any more!" Seeing this, he cupped his hands to Deming.
On the other side, King Zhao Liu Fang and Duke Liang Liu Ye left the Governor's Mansion and walked side by side. They had different expressions, one was solemn and the other was rich.
Looking at Liu Fang, who was always serious, Liu Ye was still young, and couldn't help but said: "Fourth brother, tell me, what exactly does Sixth Brother want to do? It's just to clean up those evil cults in ysl, what else is there to do?"
I really don’t know what to say!”
Liu Ye's emotions were obvious. When Liu Fang heard this, he said calmly: "Since Thirteenth Brother has an opinion, why didn't he mention it just now!"
Liu Ye immediately said: "I am just a spectator in this meeting. The process is tightly controlled by Sixth Brother and Xiang Deming, so there is no room for me to intervene? What's more, Fourth Brother didn't say anything, how can I override it?"
!”
Hearing these words, Liu Fang frowned and was about to give him a lesson when he heard Liu Ye say again: "I think Sixth Brother just wants to win people's hearts! Fourth Brother, Dad sent you to Anxi to prepare for the feudal state. We also have us in Anxi."
One share, brother!
Now, the power of Anxi is completely in the hands of Sixth Brother, and we are not willing to relax even a little bit. Fourth Brother, how can you endure it?
You are a brother at home, and in the army you are the King of Zhao who has made great achievements in battle. No matter in terms of ability, qualifications, or prestige, you are far superior to Sixth Brother. How could you succumb to Sixth Brother?"
After hearing what Liu Ye said, Liu Fang, who was already in a bad mood, couldn't help it anymore. He turned around and yelled at him angrily: "Thirteenth brother! Where did you learn the villain's behavior to sow discord between brothers?
The problem in Anxi needs to be solved urgently. We need you and me, brothers, the military and the people to work together to tide over the difficulties!
If you have a better idea, just bring it up in front of everyone, and you can’t be a hero by saying hurtful things behind your back!”
Liu Ye would never have expected Liu Fang's reaction. Based on his observation, it was impossible for Liu Fang to have no objection to Liu Min.
However, Liu Ye was also a man with a strong self-esteem. Being scolded like this, he was inevitably ashamed and angry. He said angrily: "I'm just telling the truth. I'm sorry for the fourth brother. If the fourth brother thinks I'm talkative, just don't mention it!"
With that said, Liu Ye took his two guards and rode away, leaving Liu Fang with a sad expression.
