66 Self-knowledge
The military affairs have been settled for the time being, but the domestic affairs have just begun.
Liu Bingyun's current dilemma is human issues.
There is a war in Ruzhou every few years, and sometimes there are several wars in a year, and refugees are everywhere. The farmland is basically deserted, and the villages and towns are basically destroyed. This is no longer the people's livelihood is in decline, but it is deserted for thousands of miles.
It's better now. The refugees have basically been integrated. In addition to replenishing the army, others have started growing crops in relatively safe places.
But everyone needs to eat. Now there are nearly 200,000 people in Ruzhou who need to eat. Fortunately, Huangdao Town has seized a huge amount of grain, so there is no danger for the time being. But we still need seeds for crops, cattle for plowing, and farm tools.
Even if you collect everything in a few big cities, it's not enough.
The war has temporarily stopped, and refugees from other places have begun to appear in Ruzhou again. According to the commander-in-chief's wishes, they must all be gathered in.
But if things are easy to handle, you have to send people to take care of them. Otherwise, what's the point? Someone needs to organize the construction of houses and villages, distribute food and farm tools, maintain public order, and collect taxes in the future. These all require people and experience.
of officials.
Over the years, the big households have basically run away, and even if there is any left, they basically only care about their own one-third of an acre of land.
Liu Bingyun had selected many literate people from the army to form a temporary government office, and at the same time sent people to recruit people throughout Ruzhou, but it was still far from enough.
Under the military power, the remaining important figures in the city and the fortress outside the city did not dare not support it, but it would be good if they could manage themselves well and not cause trouble, but they could not help.
Liu Bingyun knew that he thought it was easy. The Liu family far away in Hedong did have a way, but they couldn't use it, at least not now. They still had to ask for help from the Li family.
Li Shangxin knew it well and turned a deaf ear to Liu Bingyun's insinuations, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He already knew from Han Yuheng how Liu Bingyun was on guard against the Li family, so how could he lower his face and take the initiative to help?
Lin Jianyue was not very clear about internal affairs. After Liu Bingyun's explanation, he understood the current situation. However, he was essentially the master of South Beijing Road. These big problems still had to be solved by him and could not be pushed away.
Lin Jianyue is smart and can draw inferences from one instance to another.
"Mr. Liu, this is just Ruzhou. Do other states also have this problem?"
"Jie Shuai, other states naturally have problems, such as wealthy families monopolizing the townships and controlling states and counties, imposing excessive taxes and driving up prices, bullying the superiors and concealing the power of others, etc., but this is not the problem we need to solve at this stage. Now we need to stabilize Ruzhou.
We must prove to everyone that Long Jiejun proves that the commander-in-chief has the ability to govern the world."
Lin Jianyue is faced with new things that need to be learned, and he has to solve problems while learning. If he wants to truly rise to the top, it is definitely not enough to only know how to fight.
Lin Jianyue understood why Tie Qingfeng had controlled South Beijing Road for so many years but could not develop, and why he still allowed people like Qu Shangqun, Liu Yingxu and Wu Zhong to restrain him.
"In this case, Mr. Liu, Deputy Capital Commander Hao Tianfeng is still in Ru County. You can discuss with him what needs to be prepared. I am going to ask Uncle Hao to represent my elders to go to Tangzhou to formally discuss the marriage. Since the war has stopped, I
They should also get married."
Liu Bingyun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although he knew that Lin Jianyue had been engaged to Miss Li's family for a long time, he still did not want his lord to be wronged in any way, and he even vented his anger on his Liu family.
"By the way, Mr. Liu, speaking of getting married, I haven't asked how your family is doing. I've been busy these days and haven't had time to ask you. I hope you don't mind."
Liu Bingyun turned his head to prevent Lin Jianyue from seeing his eyes, and just said: "I can be regarded as a direct descendant of the Liu family in Hedong, and the Liu family is no worse than the Li family. There will be no problems with the family, as long as I am not a public face.
It's okay to be hostile to Meng Hu. By the way, Jieshuai, I also have a daughter who is eleven years old! She has been educated and courteous since she was a child. She also has two sons."
Liu Bingyun also played a few shots without any dates, leaving an impression of the Liu family and his daughter in Lin Jianyue's mind for the future.
Lin Jianyue frowned and said: "This is not a long-term solution. I will arrange for Li Jizhong to connect with you and send someone to Hedong to check the situation first. If there is anything wrong, I will immediately secretly bring your family to Nanyang first."
"Yes, Jieshuai. But there is a question I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Mr. Liu, there is no need to deny that we are in the same boat now. As long as it is beneficial to Long Jiejun, we can talk about anything."
"During the reorganization of the army, the interests of the Li family were basically untouched, but expanded like in Tangzhou and Suizhou. I don't want to sow discord between Commander Jie and the Li family, but I have doubts in my heart. I'm afraid that Commander Commander Jie will be as powerful as the Li family in the future.
Clamp down.”
Lin Jianyue sighed and said: "Mr. Liu, I, Lin Jianyue, am just a little bandit who came out of the mountains. Is it really that I am so capable of making heroes from all walks of life surrender? I know very well that I can achieve these foundations in such a short time.
The Li family in Tangzhou has the largest and most direct role. Maybe it’s because of my relationship with Yun Xi, or maybe the Li family has other deeper ideas, but what does it matter now? I think no matter where people are, they are all important.
Have a grateful heart.”
"Anyone who gives something must be rewarded. I gave the refugees a chance to survive, and they risked their lives fighting for me on the battlefield. The Li family gave me countless grains, ordnance, and even direct troops, and also cooperated with my move to unify the military and government.
, it definitely doesn’t make me suspicious of them. Now it’s just about not robbing others of what they already have, and judging from the current situation, they must continue to get strong support from the Li family. Long Jie’s army has just begun, and it wants to expel the Tartars.
, to regain the Central Plains, more families like the Li family are needed. Don’t say that I am not suppressed at all now, even if I are in the future, I will be willing to bear it. Compared with the ultimate goal, these are nothing.
?”
Liu Bingyun thought to himself: "You have this ability, but you don't know it, but you don't need to tell it. The Li family is really powerful. They have already figured out who the Commander is... No, we must get in touch with the family as soon as possible to transfer resources and talents.
If you come here and follow the barbarians, even if you succeed in the end, you won't end up well in the end. How can you see the Li family becoming so dominant?"
"I understand what Commander Jie means, but there is only one thing. The military power of Long Jie Army must be in the hands of Commander Jie. This is the final bottom line. Everything else can be discussed. I will go to Commander Hao immediately to discuss the marriage.
. Please also ask Commander-in-Chief to immediately arrange for Commander Li Jizhong to send people to Taiyuan Prefecture in Hedong. I have a handwritten letter to bring home. Commander-in-Chief, my Liu family is also Han Chinese. I am not born to want to be a traitor to the nation. My Liu family is also capable.
