Therefore, he wanted to let these people have a certain amount of savings, to let them experience the taste of peace first, and to let them take root and sprout in Bashu.
But this does not mean that Li Xinchen will really not get what he wants. Once Li Xinchen asks, these people are still happy to give Li Xinchen enough food and money. Because they know very well who brought them everything they have now, and
Who is protecting them?
Sometimes I even have to doubt that God is really helping Li Xinchen. Whether it is the Ba people who are at the end of their lives or the people of Bashu who have just experienced a bad harvest and war, what they need most is someone who can bring them stability, food and clothing.
There is no doubt that this person is now Li Xinchen, so Li Xinchen still has a considerable status in the hearts of the people of Bashu. This is why Li Xinchen can now obtain a steady supply of troops. It is not just because fighting under Li Xinchen has more opportunities to make achievements.
Also because these people believed in Li Xinchen and believed that he would bring them more protection, they were also willing to follow Li Xinchen in the battle to defend their homeland.
Pay and gain are inherently relative. Li Xingchen believes that he can bring more to the people of Bashu, and naturally he will be able to get more from the people of Bashu in the future.
As long as you have enough money, you will have a foundation whether it is building schools, pharmacies, workshops or shops. As for how to make more money... in the end, I am afraid it will still fall on the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty.
Fortunately, Li Xingchen is now semi-independent and has the ability to "negotiate business" with them as equals.
"Husband?" Xiao Xiang's voice suddenly pulled Li Xinchen out of his imagination. Only then did Li Xinchen realize that Xiao Xiang had blown out the candles in the room at some point, and the little girl was lying on Li Xinchen's chest, holding the candle.
He gently stroked a strand of hair in circles on Li Xingchen's chest.
"It's getting late, do you want to sleep?" Xiao Xiang asked tentatively.
Li Xingchen laughed, did not answer, and reached out to pull out the quilt, wrapping himself and Xiao Xiang in it. Xiao Xiang shrank into Li Xingchen's arms, feeling the warmth that he had not been close to for almost a year.
——————-
Early the next morning, Li Xingchen met Pei Yi, who had come from Jiangzhou. This old man who had wasted half his life may not have thought before that the lintel of the Pei family would be carried forward in the hands of his son, and even he himself
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to make the leap from an idle and idle official to a prefect with local power.
And of course all this is not only because of Pei Zilie's own efforts, but also because he received help from a noble person, and the noble person is naturally Li Xingchen. Although the old man doesn't know where Li Xingchen and Nan Chen will go in the end, he knows very well that the Pei family
This branch here is now quite proud.
The Wenxi Pei family was originally one of the top wealthy families in the north, but some of its members were not as good as those in the north after they arrived in the south. Moreover, several branches of the Pei family in the south also lacked centripetal force. Over the years, no one has been born who can unite all the branches of the Pei family.
The characters are mixed together, and as time goes by, the different branches naturally have gaps. The one who gets along best is naturally the branch of the current Du Guan Shangshu Pei Ji, and although the branch of Pei Yi is not
He was in poverty, but he never made any progress.
Now that he can finally see hope in his son, of course, Pei Yi is very proud. Especially now that he is married to Xiao Mohe, it makes Pei Yi feel like he is high up, so when Pei Yi uses a strange
When looking at Li Xinchen with trusting eyes, Li Xinchen felt completely uncomfortable.
Please uncle, I'm not your daughter-in-law, why do you look at me like this?!
Of course, Li Xingchen and Pei Yi had nothing to say. They exchanged a few words and went about their own business. After all, there was a more important person following Pei Yi - Xiao Mohe's personal guard, Chen Yu!
Anyone who has been with Xiao Mohe for a while knows that Chen Yu is the real arm and leg for Xiao Mohe. No matter where Xiao Mohe goes these years, he will always be followed by Chen Yu.
Yu was neither humble nor arrogant. He had protected Xiao Mohe on the battlefield several times, but he had always avoided talking about his achievements. However, it was precisely because of his modesty that Xiao Mohe admired him very much.
Chen Yu was only Xiao Mohe's personal commander, but everyone knew that once a war broke out, Xiao Mohe's central army was often under Chen Yu's control, and Chen Yu was responsible for most of the training of new recruits in recent years.
It can be said that this person is the representative of Xiao Maha's will, and he is quite respected because of his upright behavior. Xiao Shilian and other younger generations have to bow respectfully when they see him, and do not regard him as a servant of the Xiao family at all.
Xiao Mohe sent Chen Yu to Xiangyang City to visit his new uncle with a gift. Naturally, the drunkard did not care about drinking. What he really wanted to see must be Li Xinchen.
"Chen Yu is already waiting in the meeting hall," Pei Zilie walked over and said in a low voice, "The person who came here is not a good person. I'm afraid he is here to ask for guilt."
"Asking for guilt?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Whether it is Chen Yu or Xiao Mohe, who can ask someone for guilt now? Don't worry."
After a pause, Li Xingchen patted Pei Zilie on the shoulder: "Take care of uncle, I'll go meet Chen Yu."
For the current Nanchen, Li Xingchen is obviously an out-and-out enemy, and Xiangyang City is now undoubtedly the gathering place of Li Xingchen's forces. Chen Yu entering Xiangyang City is like directly entering the dragon pool and tiger's den, but obviously Chen Yu is not in any panic
, he stood in the meeting hall, looking at the map hanging there, thinking carefully about something.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Chen Yu suddenly turned around and looked at the young man walking over quickly. He hadn't seen him for several months and everything had been turned upside down.
"Uncle Chen, it's hard work coming from afar." Li Xingchen smiled and cupped his hands.
Chen Yu hurriedly raised his hands and saluted: "The Marquis of Hanzhong is welcome."
Li Xingchen proclaimed himself the Great General of the Northern Conquest, so it would be more appropriate to call him "General", especially for those in Li Xingchen's group. Whether it is the Marquis of Hanzhong or the original General of Zhenxi, after all, they were all appointed by the imperial court. Since they want to
To show that this group has severed ties with Nanchen, it is natural to call Li Xingchen with a new official title, but it is obvious that Chen Yu did not want to "do as the Romans do."
Li Xingchen did not struggle with Chen Yu on this matter. Everyone has different beliefs. Chen Yu's belief should be Xiao Mohe. As long as Xiao Mohe is still loyal to Nan Chen, then Chen Yu will also be loyal to Xiao.
Maha.
It is an honor for Xiao Mohe to meet such a personal companion in this life. (To be continued)
