Li Xingchen rolled his eyes, Xiao Shilian's strict control over his wife was hopeless.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that Xiao Boqing, who was fearless in heaven and earth, was actually afraid of his wife in the bedroom.
Isn't it possible?
Li Xingchen's thoughts became more and more evil, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was not ashamed at all for orchestrating his sister and brother-in-law.
"What are you thinking about, husband?" Xiao Xiang asked curiously as he took a towel to wipe his face, "What makes you so happy?"
Li Xingchen pretended to smile mysteriously. Of course it was better not to speak ill of people behind their backs. He immediately stretched out his hand and tapped Xiao Xiang's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You are going to be a princess soon, don't you think so?"
happy?"
"It's natural to be happy. If my husband can spend more time with me in the future, I will definitely be happier." Xiao Xiang put down the towel and brought the sobering soup over: "Husband, please get up and take a few sips. I just made it. I'm awake."
But it's just the right time."
Li Xinchen sat up and pointed to his mouth: "Feed me."
Xiao Xiang was startled for a moment, and seeing Li Xinchen's expression that he didn't want to give in at all, he had no choice but to wave his hands to ask the maids behind him to step back. If word spread about Li Xinchen's behavior, he would probably be laughed out of his face.
When Xiao Xiang put the spoon to Li Xinchen's mouth, Li Xinchen shook his head again: "You don't feed it with this."
Xiao Xiang didn't understand at first, but Li Xingchen reached out and touched her lips, and she immediately reacted. Two blushes flew to her cheeks, while Li Xingchen just looked at her with a smile.
"How can my husband be so dishonest? He is already going to be a prince." Xiao Xiang snorted, but still obediently took a mouthful first, and Li Xingchen grabbed her and kissed her directly.
——————————
After all, Hanzhong was only a short stay for Li Xingchen. Xiao Shilian and Han Qinhu would hand over the work to the officials who arrived before heading south. Li Xingchen, taking advantage of the good weather these days, naturally took the first step, and he had just passed
After arriving at Jiameng Pass, memorials like snowflakes had already landed on Li Xingchen's desk. At the same time, there were also Liu Yan who was heading north and Tang Yishun who came specially from Shu.
These two representatives of the established southeastern gentry under Li Xingchen and the civil servants of the Bashu family were obviously waiting for Li Xingchen with a mission.
Looking at the pile of memorials on the desk like a mountain, Li Xingchen knew what the mission was. These were all forms of persuasion sent from all over Bashu, and each one was a thick stack. Without thinking, he knew that there must be something inside.
Of course, everyone has to show their real skills at this time. So much so that Li Xingchen felt that he could suspect that these guys had already written it a few months ago and were just waiting for now.
"See General." Since Li Xingchen has not yet claimed the title of king, Tang Yishun and ** Yan still kept this title very sensibly.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly and couldn't help but smile: "Can't wait any longer?"
** Yan and Tang Yishun solemnly said: "The general's assumption of the throne as king is expected by all. The civil and military forces of Bashu, the soldiers and the people are all waiting eagerly for it!"
Li Xingchen was also very clear about this. Whether it was the people or the soldiers, what they wanted was a head start, a reason for them to fight for, or even a slogan that they could shout without hesitation in a life-or-death situation.
.
As for these aristocratic families and officials, they also want to see Li Xingchen actually reach this position, so that their interests will naturally be protected.
Chonglong must be early. In this kind of matter, what everyone pays attention to is "rushing first." If you are slower than others, it may not be easy to talk to Li Xinchen in the future. After all, no one can ignore the first-come, first-served order.
The smile on Li Xingchen's face faded and he said in a deep voice: "There is a long way to go, and it is only a virtuous person who takes the position. If a certain person has little talent and little knowledge, and his qualifications are still young, if he takes a big position, it may not be good for the people of this place."
Tang Yishun and **Yan looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
The process of three requests and three concessions is all about a tacit understanding. The two of them coming this time can be regarded as making the first request on behalf of all civil servants.
"General, please think twice!" they both said in unison.
Li Xingchen thought deeply and waved his hand after a long time: "We will make a decision on this matter later."
After a pause, Li Xingchen was obviously a little impatient with such pretentiousness, and then said: "Come on, everyone, sit down. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It has been almost a year since I returned to Shuzhong. How is the situation in Shuzhong?"
?"
Li Xingchen didn't like these false procedures, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Yishun immediately said: "Reporting to General, although this year's summer and autumn harvests have been affected by the war, they have basically remained stable. Now our warehouses have stored more than
Five hundred thousand stones are enough for future battles. In addition, next year's spring plowing has begun to be organized. The agricultural tools made by various workshops are being allocated and strive to be distributed to households before the year. Fortunately, our population is not very large now, so
They are mainly gathered around towns and workshops, so the distribution of farm tools is not difficult."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. In fact, this was his plan for the development of Bashu, with a town as the center, the inner layer is the government office and commercial area, the middle layer is the workshop, and the outer layer is the agricultural area, and different towns pass through
The renovated official roads are connected in series, dots are connected into lines, and lines are connected into networks, changing the chaotic pattern of the original natural economy era.
This will naturally facilitate business travel and the transportation and circulation of workshop products. At the same time, the concentration and taxation of agricultural products will also save time and effort. Officials no longer need to rush around, they only need to divide the collection area by area according to the road.
Yes, it will facilitate accounting and prevent tax evasion and personal enrichment in the middle to a certain extent.
In the final analysis, it is because Bashu has gone through wars and hundreds of industries are waiting for prosperity, so Li Xingchen can splash out ink on a piece of white paper. If it were placed in a densely populated place in the Central Plains, such tossing would probably cause turmoil.
For Li Xingchen, with Bashu as a model, if he wants to carry out similar construction in other places, he will definitely encounter less resistance. Of course, if Li Xingchen has endless money and staff, he will definitely not be too lazy to plan like this
, but it is always like this in history. There are many people who get rich suddenly, but if you really want to make your wealth only a lot more in the future, then I am afraid that those who work hard little by little will do better.
Historically, Spain became rich overnight because of the discovery of America. However, as time went by, Spain's wealth expanded and society developed disorderly, which eventually caused the huge empire to collapse in an instant.
Therefore, in Li Xingchen's view, it is not a bad thing to be more difficult at the beginning of starting a business.
"Where's the money?" Li Xingchen asked immediately. (To be continued)
