Li Mu stood aside quietly, glanced at Zhao Yun who was eating and drinking, and then looked at Feng Yong who was deep in thought, with a faint light in his eyes.
"If the prince wants to establish a relationship with the Li family in Longxi, I can help."
"Oh, didn't you refuse to sell woolen cloth to the Li family in Longxi?"
Feng Yong raised his head and asked.
"Your Majesty, do you know why I am trying so hard to develop this house in Nanxiang?"
Although Feng Yong was questioning, his tone was affirmative, "In order to establish another lineage of the Li family in Hanzhong?"
Li Mu first nodded, then shook his head, "Now our sixth branch can only be regarded as a side branch to the Li family in Shuzhong. If we can establish another branch in Nanxiang and become the Nanxiang Li family's clan, that would be the best.
"
"But even so, for the Li family in Longxi, the Li family's big house in Guanghan County is still the clan house in the middle of Shu, unless the Li family in Nanxiang can get the qualification to go to Longxi to worship."
When Feng Yong heard this, he asked with some confusion, "Why not call it Hanzhong Fang?"
Li Mu smiled slightly, "There is also a Li family in Nanzheng, but it is too declining now. If the sixth house can be combined with the Li family in Nanzheng, it can be called Hanzhong Fang."
"There is also a branch of the Li family in Nanzheng?"
Feng Yong felt guilty.
How intricate is this?
"The ancestor of the Li family in Nanzheng was Li Jiegong, who was actually a branch of the Li family in Zhao County. The ancestor of the Li family in Zhao County was the prime minister of the Zhao State in the pre-Qin Dynasty and Lord Li Mugong of Wu'an."
"Wu'an Lord Li Mugong is the younger brother of Li Chonggong, the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi."
"Li Hegong, the son of Li Jiegong, the founder of the Li family in Nanzheng, was a Situ in the Later Han Dynasty. Li Gu, the son of Li Hegong, rose to the rank of Taiwei and was considered to be at its peak."
"It was only later that the Qiang-Hu rebellion spread to Hanzhong, and Nanzheng was defeated by the Hu people, and the Li family in Hanzhong was damaged."
"The worst thing was the Battle of Hanzhong. Cao Cao's thieves evacuated the people of Hanzhong, leaving Hanzhong almost in ruins. Only then did the Li family of Nanzheng decline."
"However, in the past few years, the Nanzheng Li family has received help from our sixth house and gathered some scattered tribesmen, and finally the relationship has not ended."
When Li Mu said this, he slowed down and said, "The ancestors of the Li family of Zhao County and the Li family of Longxi are two brothers, with the same origin. If they can be reunited into one in Hanzhong, it will be a good story."
Then you can take the opportunity to become the clan member of the Li family in Hanzhong?
Looks like a backdoor listing?
Or is it cross-shareholding and complementary advantages?
Before Feng Yong could say anything, Zhao Yun suddenly said, "I've eaten enough. It's getting late now. I'll stay with you tonight and rush back to Jicheng tomorrow."
Li Mu glanced at Zhao Yun, lowered his head, and said no more.
Feng Yong knew that the old man felt that he was not suitable to hear such a sensitive topic, or that he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
He nodded immediately, stopped the topic for the time being, and stood up to find someone to arrange it.
After the old man left, Feng Yong motioned for Li Mu to sit across from him and asked, "So, Taigong Li wants to move the sixth house to Hanzhong and make the sixth house of the Li family the Hanzhong house of the Li family?"
Li Muchuan sat upright opposite Feng Yong and nodded, "The grandpa had this idea at first."
Feng Yong listened and realized that these words had a different meaning, "What do you mean?"
"Nanxiang is developing too fast," Li Mu looked at Feng Yong with bright eyes, "Tai Gong thought that it would take at least two to three generations before the sixth family of the Li family was qualified to be called the Hanzhong Li family. "
"But in the past few years, the number of six-bedroom apartments has begun to exceed that of the larger apartments. In many cases, the larger apartments have to turn to our six-bedroom apartments for help."
"Therefore, I feel that instead of living in the same county as the Li family of Nanzheng, which is a branch of the Li family of Zhao County, Liufang is better off from a different lineage.
Li Mu looked at Feng Yong with more and more intense eyes, "I have discussed this matter with Grandpa, and Grandpa also thinks it makes sense. However, this matter is of great importance, so we must be careful."
"But it would be much easier to handle it if we had the support of the Li family in Longxi. So I bypassed the big house in private and had contact with the Li family in Longxi, and I also had some connections."
The development of Nanxiang has exceeded what the family has experienced in the past few hundred years.
Even if it is not completely new, it is still something they have recognized in just a few years.
The Grand Duke of the Li family originally wanted to rely on the efforts of two generations to combine with the Li family of Nanzheng and become the commander of Hanzhong County.
Unexpectedly, things developed far beyond the expectations of the sixth family of the Li family.
Relying on Li Mu's special status, the sixth family of the Li family has mastered huge resources, and coupled with their original foundation in Shu, their ambitions have been further expanded.
So the sixth house of the Li family began to adjust the original goals.
Not only did they want to break away from the control of the Li family clan in central Shu, but they were also ready to give up their plan to combine with the Li family in Nanzheng and build a separate county to look after the Li family.
So Li Mu bypassed the clan house in Shu and directly established a relationship with the Li family in Longxi, just to prepare for this ambition.
Feng Yong understood what Li Mu meant and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you have discussed it, have you thought about choosing a place to build the foundation?"
Since he wanted to be the county magistrate, he naturally had to choose a place where there was no Li family hall.
"This is just a private discussion between me and Grandpa, and no conclusion has been reached yet." Li Mu said everything to Feng Yongzhi at this time, "But at this time, I do have an idea."
Having said this, she looked at Feng Yong steadily and said, "If possible, I hope to settle in Pingxiang."
"Okay!" Feng Yong stood up suddenly, "If your sixth house really wants to use Pingxiang as your foundation, I will give my full support."
Li Mu's face lit up, and he stood up and bowed to Feng Yong, "I would like to thank you first. When I return to Nanxiang, I will personally convey your wishes to the Grand Duke."
"What's there to thank you for? You, the Li family, have helped me a lot over the years. I'm just going to retaliate against Li."
Feng Yong's smile was full of meaning.
Li Mu stood up and saw Feng Yong's smile, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
Before going to bed that night, Feng Yong told Guan Ji why Zhao Yun asked him to go to Longxi.
Of course, the impeachment of Li Yan is confidential, and Guan Ji is not qualified to know.
When talking about Longxi, it is inevitable to talk about the Li family.
When Guan Ji heard that Li Mu planned to persuade Li Taigong to move the foundation of the sixth house of the Li family to Pingxiang, she immediately became a little suspicious, "Longyou is not peaceful now, not to mention that Pingxiang is even more dilapidated."
"The Li family's six-bedroom apartment is not available in Nanxiang, which is well-run, so why do you want to move here?"
Feng Yong finished soaking his feet, wiped them dry with a towel, and climbed onto the kang. "It's just a wish, and it's Li Mu's wish alone."
"I don't say whether Taigong Li is willing to do this in advance. Even if he is willing, it won't be something that can be completed in a year or two."
"It's even more impossible to move them all at once. At most, some tribesmen will be moved here first to explore the way."
"But with the example of Nanxiang in front of us, I guess the sixth family of the Li family will not give up this good opportunity."
Pingxiang seems to be in ruins now, but its ruin also represents the void of local power.
With Li Mu's ability and the shrewdness of the Grand Duke of the Li family, it is impossible not to see this.
More importantly, this is Longyou, a place where wool is produced, and it is also a vast and sparsely populated place. With the support of himself, the captain who protects the Qiang, the Li family's development prospects will be much greater than in Nanxiang.
.
The foundation of a traditional family is land, but the six houses of the Li family do not occupy much land in Nanxiang, at least compared to the area in Shu, the area is quite small.
But it's different when you get to Longyou.
As long as you get permission, it doesn't matter if you occupy the land.
Of course, Feng Yong had no intention of letting the sixth house of the Li family follow the old path of a traditional family.
No matter how much land it occupies, how can any wool spinning workshop make money quickly?
A new type of capital-based family will objectively help weavers master certain knowledge. Otherwise, how can we improve production efficiency?
This means that they will relax their monopoly and control over knowledge, and in the end, they will even take the initiative to promote the popularization of basic knowledge.
The establishment of a school in Yuexun by the Xinghan Society is the best example.
At the same time, the growth of new aristocratic families will also continue to expand the class represented by weavers.
More importantly, capital is inherently greedy.
It will prompt more and more elites to look to the outside world, such as the north, the west, etc.
Feng Yong may not be able to see that day, but once the seed is buried, it will naturally take root and sprout.
This can at least be considered as an effort to avoid that big disaster in the future.
"The reconstruction of Pingxiang will be much easier if we have the help of the Li family's sixth house."
Feng Yong lay down and said leisurely.
Not to mention anything else, even if only a part of the Li family's sixth house was moved here at the beginning, there might only be a dozen or twenty core members.
But their concubines, servants, and dependents totaled three to five hundred people.
Naturalization, naturalization, if there are not even a few Han people, the barbarians just want to change their customs, but they don’t know who to learn from!
Coupled with the various resources they brought over and the development of Pingxiang, for Feng Yong, it would save a lot of trouble for both young and old.
"If this is really the case, then Li Muke will be a big help to A Lang."
Guan Ji said in Feng Yong's ear.
"In the past few years, Li Mu has been helping me a lot in Nanxiang."
Feng Yong did not deny this, "But she did not suffer a loss. In the past two years, the momentum of the sixth family of the Li family has been even greater than that of the clan."
"The Li family is the Li family, and Li Mu is Li Mu. What Alang said is that the Li family did not suffer any loss, but it does not mean that Li Mu gained anything."
Guan Ji whispered, "Don't Alang think of compensating Li Mu for something?"
"What compensation?" Feng Yong said casually, not knowing whether he was pretending to be stupid or he really didn't know what Guan Ji meant, "With her current status and reputation, no matter how many people ask for her, she won't be able to get her."
"As long as Feng Yong's family does not lose power, she will be as stable as a mountain. What more compensation do you want?"
After hearing this, Guan Ji smiled with satisfaction, "Since A Lang has already made a decision, then just listen to A Lang."
After sending off Zhao Yun, Zhang Xingyi and Li Mu, Feng Yong took the time to finish writing the winter training plan, and then summoned the main generals in the army.
The first is to explain his training plan to them, and the second is to arrange his work in Houpingxiang, Longxi.
"Pingxiang currently has 3,000 soldiers, divided into three battalions. One is the Modao Battalion, the other is the Crossbow Battalion, and the third is the Engineering Battalion."
"I plan to select another 2,000 people from Pingxiang, regardless of Han or Hu, to form two elite cavalry. In this case, there will be 5,000 people under the Qiang Guards next year."
Feng Yong sat at the head of the conference table, with Zhang Ni, Jufu, Guan Suo, Liu Hun, Huo Yi and other major generals sitting on both sides.
Wenshi, the engineer in the engineering camp, had a special status and was allowed to sit at the table.
Behind these people, there were also military personnel above the station commander sitting. They could only listen but could not speak.
Since the pacification of Yuexi, Feng Yong has consciously cultivated a joint staff system and a military deliberation system that is different from this era.
The educational level of Nanxiang soldiers is not low, especially starting from the commanders of the villages with more than 100 people. In addition to military quality, they also need to have a high cultural level and organizational ability.
Not only do they have to shoulder the task of conveying the superiors' combat intentions to everyone below, they also organize military training in peacetime, maintain the morale of the soldiers below, etc.
After the war, they may also participate in the post-war summary, pass on the summarized experience, and strengthen corresponding training.
The combat effectiveness of the army under the Xinghanhui system has improved so fast that it is unmatched by other armies of this era.
"Liu Hun, you know the cavalry well. I want you to command these two fine cavalry. Do you have the confidence?"
Liu Hun's face lit up with joy, he stood up suddenly and said loudly, "I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
"Okay, Huo Yi, I will appoint you as Liu Hun's deputy."
Huo Yi quickly imitated Liu Hun and stood up straight, "General, I will obey."
After they sat down, Feng Yong pointed to the winter training plan placed in front of everyone, "Longyou is not as good as Shuzhong, not to mention that we are very likely to enter Liangzhou in the future."
"Winter is much colder than in Shu. We need to let the soldiers adapt to this severe cold. So I plan to carry out a training in winter. You all have a look."
The winter training plan is very detailed. It not only lists the necessity of the first day of training, but also lays out the regulations and issues that need attention in detail.
"I will go to Longxi soon. I plan to take a thousand people there. The soldiers who are left behind in Pingxiang must not only protect Pingxiang, but also train the new soldiers."
Feng Yong ordered, "Liu Hun, you must be responsible for how to select future elite riders and train them well."
"You will eventually understand."
"Jufu, Guansuo, you two will accompany me to Longxi."
"promise."
"All matters in Pingxiang will be taken care of by Zhang Ni for the time being. The secretariat staying in Pingxiang will assist you."
"promise."
The officer in charge of the library is called Secretary Supervisor or Secretary Lang.
The officials in charge of secret documents include Secretary Ling and Secretary Cheng.
Feng Yong had a senior secretary, Amei, from the beginning. When he arrived in Yuexun, he began to set up a secretariat, led by Wei Rong.
Now it has been divided into first-level secretaries, second-level secretaries, and even third-level secretaries.
Those who can enter the secretariat are basically students from Nanxiang Academy.
When they have accumulated enough experience, they can then be transferred to the grassroots level for practical work, or they can be put into the military for training.
As for whether they can change their destiny in the future, it depends on their personal luck.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to return to the Joint Staff without warning.
At that time, it was not as a secretary serving people water and tea, but as a staff officer or general participating in military discussions, which is not the same thing.
After discussing what needed to be done this winter, Feng Yong immediately held an enlarged meeting, involving everyone above the team leader level.
"The Northern Expedition was successful, the Han Dynasty regained Longyou, and everyone was very happy."
Feng Yong stood on the high platform and looked at more than a hundred people standing in the darkness below.
The most elite members of the Qiang Guard Army are gathered here.
"Everyone has received a reward, are you very happy?"
Everyone below showed a knowing smile.
"So some people started to slack off, some started to relax, and some even wanted to go home and enjoy themselves."
Feng Yong glanced down, his face became solemn, and he said loudly, "Who was defeated by the woman a few days ago?"
Everyone looked ashamed.
"The Han Dynasty is not prosperous and Cao's traitors are not destroyed. How can we relax?" Feng Yong pointed to the south bank and said, "Nanxiang is directly connected to Guanzhong. Do you think Cao's traitors will let everyone enjoy peace?"
"The Han Dynasty is weak, but Cao Cao's bandit is powerful. Even if you can enjoy a moment of peace, in a few years, when Cao bandit catches his breath, he will definitely send a large army to attack Longyou. What will you do then?"
"Even if you return to Nanxiang, do you think Cao Cao will be willing to let the Han go easily? Cao Cao has usurped the country and thinks about nothing day and night than to destroy the Han."
"Therefore, the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's traitors are natural enemies. Either we destroy the traitors, or the traitors devour us."
"As soon as the big man shows signs of weakness, the Cao thieves will attack the big man like hungry wolves in order to achieve their wolfish ambitions."
"Especially Hanzhong is the place where the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's bandits meet. If Cao's bandits want to go south, Hanzhong will definitely be the place where the war first breaks out. Where can you retreat to?"
"Cao's thieves are tyrannical, and the people in the land they rule are miserable, and there are powerful families who drive the gray-headed Guizhou heads like livestock."
"In addition, Cao Cao is fond of killing. If Hanzhong suffers from war, not to mention you, your parents, wives and children. Everything you have now will be reduced to nothing!"
"At that time, you will return to the days of precarity, hunger and cold, selling your sons and daughters, and your wives and children being separated!"
When everyone heard this, their bodies suddenly shook.
They had never thought about this kind of problem before.
Think about the life you live now, and then think about the life you lived in the past. No one wants to go back to the past.
Whoever wants them to go back to the past will be their life and death enemy.
Feng Langjun's long-lost special skills: clever words and seduction finally reappeared in the world.
"So, if we want to keep our current life, there is only one way, and that is to completely defeat the Cao thieves! Let them no longer threaten the Han Dynasty."
"When you become the hero of the revival of the Han Dynasty, your wives, children, and descendants can enjoy peace for a long time and no longer be forced by thieves."
When material civilization improves, we must step up efforts to improve spiritual civilization.
It is absolutely impossible to let the horse go to Nanshan and store the sword and gun in the warehouse!
Even if there is a little sign, it won't work.
The productivity and production relations within the Xinghanhui system are already a step and a half ahead of this era. If you are not careful, it will be overturned.
So Feng Yong has always been careful about this.
"Revive the great Han Dynasty and defeat Cao Cao's thieves!"
A loud sound came from the direction of the commander's camp, causing the soldiers in the camp to look sideways.
