He had not been in contact with Li Xinchen for a long time, but Xu Ling felt that he could see the young man's mood clearly, so he also asked himself whether he could figure out what Li Xinchen meant.
Li Xingchen is definitely not the kind of person who is anxious to rise to the top and arouse the jealousy in the officialdom. He walks out in a down-to-earth manner every step of the way. From the beginning as a white man to the current general of gangsters, he has used his brain and hands to defeat the enemy.
The territory, the team gathered, and the borrowed momentum of the East Palace.
Therefore, in Xu Ling's view, what Li Xingchen wanted this time was not to promote officials at all, but to promote officials within his entire system.
In other words, he is no longer satisfied with his promotion, but wants to build a legal and reasonable management system that can control the entire Ba County. The civil and military officials in this system are nominally from Nanchen, but in fact they are from Nanchen.
We should be loyal to him Li Xingchen,
Facts have proved that Li Xinchen succeeded again this time. Although Chen Xu did not increase his official position, he approved Li Xinchen's guarantee, which meant that all the prefectures around Bajun fell under Li Xinchen's actual control.
Originally, Xu Ling entered the palace not to persuade Chen Xu to exempt Li Xinchen from punishment - if Li Xinchen couldn't solve this problem, then Xu Ling would not help Li Xinchen - but to help Li Xinchen achieve the second step.
.
But now it seems that someone before him did it better.
Glancing at the soup pot that had not been taken away on Chen Xu's table, Xu Ling couldn't help but smile. He could guess who it was without even thinking.
No wonder Li Shizhong is so confident.
Of course Xu Ling didn't know that Chen Xu's decision had something to do with Lechang and his confrontation with him. It was Xu Ling's sudden arrival that made Chen Xu realize Li Xingchen's influence.
decision made.
Before Chen Xu could speak again, Xu Ling reached out and took out a memorial from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, this is the Lingnan Memorial that I just received. I would like to ask your Majesty to read it."
"Lingnan?" Chen Xu frowned slightly, with a surprised look on his face. Now Huainan, Jingzhou and Bashu are enough to give him a headache, why is there another Lingnan?
When he opened the memorial and took a look at it, Chen Xu's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly slapped the table: "Is Chen Shuling going to rebel?!"
——————————————-
Li Xingchen slowly sipped the tea. This was the clear tea brought by Xiao Xiang from Jingzhou, and it was within Li Xingchen's acceptance range.
"General." Tang Yishun and Tang Zhengliang walked quickly into the study.
Li Xingchen raised his eyes slightly and saw the unconcealable smile on Tang Yishun's face. He knew that this guy had achieved his wish.
After thinking about it, it makes sense. This time Tang Yishun came with a clear goal of struggle, and behind him stood Li Xingchen. Even if the elders of the Tang clan in Xiajiang had objections, they would have to consider putting their heads on it.
The question is whether it is still stable.
Li Xingchen doesn't think these people are afraid of death. This is why they were willing or unwilling to cooperate with Lu Teng or even Zhang He before. If they don't agree, Li Xingchen doesn't mind bringing a brand new Xiajiang with Tang Yishun.
Before Tang set out, he directly wiped out these opponents.
Now Li Xingchen is no longer the white man who came out of Jianghuai, but the Nanchen Dangkou general who defeated Bajun, holding the power of life and death in his hands.
"Congratulations, Baekhyun." Li Xingchen put down the teacup and said with a smile.
"Here's a helping hand from the general!" Tang Yishun hurriedly handed over his hand. He knew very well that if he hadn't made the decisive decision to side with Li Xingchen at that time, he might not be the one who could be in this position today. Tang Zhong in Kaixian County and even Tang Zhengliang in Ba County would have been
With Li Xingchen's support, it's not like he doesn't have this strength.
This was the opportunity given to him by Li Xingchen, and now it was naturally time for Tang Yishun to repay Li Xingchen: "General, the Xiajiang Tang family will provide the general with another half-year's military salary within two months, and will send a large number of men to Shu County.
, contact the aristocratic family gangs in various places along the way, and strive to help the general on his future offensive."
After a pause, Tang Yishun continued: "In addition, the Tang family will select thousands of disciples and disciples who are proficient in martial arts and willing to obey the general's orders. Of course, there are also many Tang family disciples who are proficient in poetry and calligraphy. If the general needs manpower,
You can give whatever orders you want."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "There is no need to discuss this urgently. You can prepare first. If you are ready, you can go directly to General Fenwei and Governor Luo who will be arriving soon to discuss it."
Tang Yishun nodded hurriedly, and then became more cautious. Li Xingchen directly mentioned Xiao Shilian and the incoming Chuzhou governor Luo Ya, obviously expressing his trust in these two people, and also telling Tang Yishun who he could offend.
No one can be offended.
"I have a few things that I need to discuss with Boxian." Li Xingchen did not give Tang Yishun time to think about it. "The first one is the workshop that is being built in Nannan County. As you know, Boxian, our labor is because of
There are enough prisoners and refugees, but there are still many craftsmen and apprentices missing..."
Tang Yishun was startled for a moment. He knew that Li Xingchen valued craftsmen and machinery, but he didn't expect that he would directly put this matter first. After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yishun said in a deep voice:
"The Tang family was not originally proficient in mechanical techniques, but because the Tang family passed down the martial arts, there are many masters in the family who are good at making weapons, and they can be transferred to help the general. As for the apprentices, they can learn from these masters nearby.
Since the Xiajiang Tang family is loyal to the general, these small workshops will naturally belong to the general. Rather than letting them be scattered in various places and wasted, it is better to centralize them in the southern county."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. Although the Xiajiang Tang clan was not as miraculous in developing the technology of making hidden weapons as the Tang clan in the novel, it was rare among aristocratic families with martial arts as its foundation. It felt a bit like a general, so it was inevitable in the clan.
There will be people who are proficient in weapon making, and this is enough for the current stage.
"Secondly, Bai Xian needs to send more manpower to investigate the situation in Hezhou and Luzhou," Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "You can contact the local aristocratic families, but you must be careful. You must find trustworthy people, and you must not let the news leak easily.
"
Tang Yishun and Tang Zhengliang both had stern expressions on their faces. They knew very well that after months of repairs, Li Xingchen planned to continue his attack on Shu County.
"We don't have much time, Mr. Baixian, we still have a long way to go." Li Xingchen smiled.
"Yes!" Tang Yishun and Tang Zhengliang solemnly held their hands.
Bashu, which has been peaceful for too long, will become lively again starting from today. When Li Xingchen shows his fangs again, how many Northern Zhou state capitals will become his prey?
"General, there is one more thing," Tang Yishun suddenly remembered, "Should we still contact the Ba people?"
