The farther away from Chang'an City, the more Li Xiang realized that this road was not easy to walk. He originally thought that he could reach eighty miles per day, but after the fifth day of departure, this number began to decrease.
Li Xiang's large carriage was replaced by a small carriage, and the four-column team became a two-column team. Even so, the speed had to stop midway, mainly because the height difference between the top and bottom was too large. If you wanted to maintain the speed, besides
Except for those soldiers who are serious about fighting, others may not be able to keep up. In addition to these 3,000 soldiers, there are also a team of more than 600 servants. They have already fallen behind.
When Li Xiang went to war, he was different from other generals. If other generals wanted to fight, the local officials along the way would be heavily burdened. In addition to preparing food, drink, and food for the soldiers, they also had to prepare another set for the general of the army. Li Xiang
Such behavior has disappeared since Tuyuhun began.
Although doing this caused dissatisfaction among the veteran generals in the army, you yourself were unwilling to enjoy it, and it also made us unwilling to enjoy it, but Li Xiang still implemented it. Although it made them dissatisfied, it did reduce the cost to the common people.
Burden, except for the need to prepare some supplies, the common people do not need to provide any help to the army. These people carried by the army can ensure everything on the road.
Xiao Yu had only heard about it before, but he didn't know much about Li Xiang's methods. After coming out of Chang'an City this time and after these few days of marching, he could see that Li Xiang was different from others.
, Others may only consider their own gains and losses, but Li Xiang will put the people first. Such a person may not see any advantages in a short period of time, but when the people of the world return to their hearts, such a person is a politician.
The strongest person on the field.
Xiao Yu is very happy that his family can have a relationship with Li Xiang. Of course, there will be various things along the way, but Xiao Yu has already made up his mind. Putting aside the matter with his grandson, he
In future cooperation with Li Xiang, try to follow Li Xiang's ideas. After all, Li Xiang will not treat his partners badly.
Take the current Qiwang of the Five Surnames as an example. Except for Mr. Cui’s family, everyone else has suffered losses to varying degrees. Some families have even become second-rate families. How does Mr. Cui keep his rights?
And wealth? It's not because I surrendered to Li Xiang immediately, otherwise I don't know where I would be crying now.
Of course, many people in Lao Cui's family were unwilling, so those people parted ways with Mr. Cui. They continued to follow the original path. Mr. Cui chose to fully cooperate with Li Xiang. Now Mr. Cui's side is prospering. As for Cui Sanye,
With the rest of the Cui family, life is hard to come by.
Xiao Yu once hosted a banquet for Mr. Cui and asked about some of the mysteries. Mr. Cui's answer was also very simple. Some people have the aura of kings. No matter what they do, they are protected by God. If you are on the wrong team,
If so, no matter how good your calculation is, it will still be a failure in the end.
At that time, Xiao Yu thought that Cui Sanye's words were unbridled talk and that he might have been brainwashed by Li Xiang. Now he understands that he was not brainwashed and that he can understand what is going on.
The most important thing is that people really benefited from it. Take the land in Goguryeo as an example. Who was willing to take it at the beginning? In the end, it was not Li Xiang who got 80%.
All twenty were given to Master Cui. Later, after the peninsula was occupied, domestic immigration began, but the land in Liaodong was divided between the two of them.
Of course, some people are jealous, but what can you do if you are jealous? The imperial seal is stamped on it, unless you say that the imperial seal is useless, but even if Li Shimin is standing there, does he dare to say this? Liaodong
The land is indeed valuable, but compared to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, what is it? For this land, the reputation of the Tang Dynasty must be overthrown. Li Shimin cannot afford it, let alone other people, so they
I can only watch helplessly as Li Xiang and Cui Sanye amass money, and they do so in a fair and honest manner.
After walking on the road for a full twenty-one days, we finally arrived in Chengdu. This is where Yizhou Mu is located. Li Xiang also came here in the 21st century. It is the largest city in the three southwestern provinces and can be counted in the entire country.
, but something seems wrong now. It’s just a slightly larger town at most.
"Wei Chen, Deputy Governor of Yizhou, Zhang Jiuli, has met His Highness..."
Outside the city of Chengdu, the top official here brought other officials to pay tribute to Li Xiang. They were far away from Chang'an City. Many people had lost confidence and felt that there was no point in achieving political achievements. After all, who with the strength would come?
Come here, most of the people who come here are without foundation.
After receiving the imperial edict this time, their first thought was not to finish the work well, let Li Xiang take a look, and then transfer them back to Chang'an. Instead, their first thought was to seize the time to deal with it and wait for Li Xiang to leave.
Afterwards, they were able to resume their previous lives.
To put it bluntly, it is lazy politics. There is no ambition in a place like this. What's more, when they worked hard before, Chang'an City didn't see their results, but chose to ignore them, so no one works hard now.
It's nice to live a comfortable life here. As for what the local people think, they don't care. They don't behave like parents and officials at all.
Li Xiang did not ask these people to get up. According to official rules, these people were already kneeling here. Li Xiang would immediately ask them to get up. However, as they walked along, the fire in Li Xiang's heart became bigger and bigger. This was still close.
On one side of Chang'an City, the people no longer have enough to eat. If they continue to move forward, people may starve to death in droves. Isn't this a mistake by you local officials?
Let’s not talk about the situation in the mountains. There are vast tracts of wasteland around Chengdu. If you people have any brains and organize people to reclaim land, how can you not have enough to eat? You are usually not short of food, but you can starve to death.
, ordinary people, do you all choose to turn a blind eye?
Therefore, Li Xiang was angry and did not want to let these people get up. Although Xiao Yu was the newly appointed governor of Yizhou, Li Xiang was the biggest here. When Li Xiang remained silent, who else would dare to let them get up?
