The coalition forces of the two major families in Liangzhou could not hold out. When Li Xiang led the Xiliang headquarters army to Fufeng City, it was already the end of July. At this time, it had already entered the end of the hottest period in Liangzhou. The weather would be
A huge change will begin at the end of this month, and the cold will slowly return to Liangzhou.
This year is a very bad year for the people of Liangzhou. This year, except for a few areas where farming can continue, the fields in other places have turned into wasteland. The Xiliang army attacked the land of Liangzhou. The governor and I
The war between several county governors made Liangzhou, whose economy was not very good, become even more desolate.
This is for the civilians who have not yet joined Xiliang, but for those who have entered under the rule of Xiliang, this was a disaster year, but now it has become their welfare, because under the rule of Xiliang
, they only need to pay a certain amount of labor to get enough food to feed the family for a period of time.
This is something that these common people in Liangzhou have never dared to think about before. Under the rule of the three major families, the common people in Liangzhou have a hard time making a living. However, it is very difficult to have enough to eat. Most people live in it every day.
They are all hungry. If they want to get enough food, they have to work hard. The food they get after a hard day can only feed one person.
But under the rule of Xiliang, they could feed their families with just one day's work.
Seeing the child and the smile on his wife's face, the civilians who chose to follow Xiliang became more determined. If they follow Xiliang, they will have food to eat. Don't talk to them about loyalty. Loyalty cannot keep their relatives fed.
They have been busy for a year, but the money they have left in their hands is not as good as the wages they got from a week of hard work in Xiliang.
Here in Xiliang, as long as they are willing to work hard, it is very simple to feed their families. They can also buy some meat every few days to satisfy their children's hunger. The extra money can wait until winter to buy some winter clothes. Don't think that in
People in the northwest are cold-tolerant. They are not cold-resistant, but are forced out by the environment. If they could not withstand the cold wind of winter, they would have died in the cold winter nights.
No matter whether it is the northwest or the people in Liangzhou, they have no money to buy things for the winter. The sight of a family shivering in a simple house in the cold winter is something that many people don't want to experience anymore after experiencing it once.
Since there is a way for relatives to live a longer life, who would stay in a house that cannot even block the wind?
The common people in Liangzhou are very cooperative with the arrangements of the farmers in Xiliang, which saves them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
No one dared to make trouble on this matter. The farmers of Xiliang headquarters mobilized a large number of civilians in Liangzhou. This matter fell into the eyes of many people, including many Xiliang officials who had never felt very good about the farmers of Xiliang headquarters.
Xiliang is not as peaceful and united as the outside world sees it. It is only when Li Xiang is here that these people will be more settled. After Li Xiang leads the army to fight, these people will start to cause trouble. Of course, this is
Without affecting the development of Xiliang.,
In recent years, the Xiliang Yamen has recruited a large number of scholars from outside, trained them into qualified officials, and then sent these people to various places in Xiliang to become local parent officials.
After these people arrived at the place, they discovered a very scary thing, that is, the hand of the Xiliang Headquarters was too long. If they did not visit the people of the Xiliang Headquarters at the place, it would be difficult for them to continue to implement their policies.
Many times when conflicts arise, people from the Xiliang headquarters can solve the problems as soon as they come out.
If this were all, these officials would not be hostile to the people of Xiliang themselves.
What scares these officials the most is that the local Xiliang Headquarters people have the power to supervise the yamen. If they feel that the yamen is not self-reliant, they will apply to the higher-level Xiliang Headquarters commander for re-investigation of the case, and even have it decided.
The cases that come down will be overturned by people from Xiliang headquarters later.
This makes them feel that their authority has been challenged. Logically speaking, they are local officials, and all local matters should be resolved by them. But what are the people from Xiliang who appear in the northwest? What do they have?
Wouldn't it be better to go to those people for everything?
Is it necessary for these officials to exist?
However, they complained privately and did not dare to complain publicly about the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters, because these soldiers were all talented soldiers who had fought on the battlefield. The establishment of Xiliang was inseparable from their efforts, and the king of Xiliang
He is very kind to the soldiers of his headquarters. If he complains about these soldiers because of these problems, it is likely to cause the dissatisfaction of the King of Xiliang.
Later, when they saw that the yamen had no money, and that Li Yi, the general manager in charge of the Xiliang headquarters, could easily come up with more income than their northwest yamen had in a year, all the officials were shocked. They had never seen such a huge amount of money.
A lot of money, to be precise, I have never seen so much money in the Northwest Yamen.
The Northwest Yamen was so poor that it was almost impossible to open the pot, but the Xiliang headquarters was extremely rich. This made these officials dissatisfied with the Xiliang headquarters from the local to the central government. Almost a quarter of the northwest officials joined in denouncing the Xiliang headquarters.
.
They have not sold it, they are just waiting for a point in time, waiting for people from Xiliang Headquarters to misplace it, and then they can stand up and ask the lord to hand over the finances of Xiliang Headquarters to them, so that they can no longer worry about money.
, let everyone’s plans sit on the table gathering dust.
At this time, these young people still have some bottom lines and their own bottom lines. If those old officials had already thought about how to get some tips from them.
When farmers in Xiliang headquarters were recruiting farmers in large numbers, these idle officials began their manipulation. They first wrote a letter to Li Xiang, writing on it all the problems of farmers in Xiliang headquarters, such as
Recruiting a large number of people without authorization from the Yamen.
The hint in the letter said that Xiliang Headquarters was unreliable, and they, the literati, were the most reliable sources of information, and they wanted to receive the financial resources of Xiliang Headquarters from their yamen supervisors.
When Li Xiang received this letter, he was in a state of confusion. The people who wrote the letter were also talented people. Don't they know that he, Li Xiang, can establish Xiliang and rely on the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters?
them?
Now let Li Xiang leave the Xiliang headquarters soldiers and join a lot of little guys who haven't even grown hair yet.
Prime Minister Li couldn't help laughing loudly, and he was so angry that he laughed.
I don’t know what these people think. Are they really being made stupid by reading?
"What's this letter about?" Li Xiang immediately called in the two soldiers guarding outside the camp. If this letter could be delivered to him, it must be with the help of these soldiers.
It does not indicate who wrote the letter, but judging from the person who appeared on behalf of it, the matter was quite big this time. After all, 1/4 of the officials supported the economic and financial transformation of the Xiliang headquarters.
into the hands of the new yamen.
I don’t know if Zhang Qingyun will be angry after seeing this letter. Zhang Qingyun, who is considered to be the immediate boss of these people, did not report this matter to his boss and insisted on writing a letter on behalf of others.
, express his point of view to Li Xianglai.
There are many people among them. Their demand is to keep Xiliang soldiers in their hands. They believe that local officials must have some ice in their hands, just in case something unexpected happens.
Xiliang headquarters soldiers are the best choice. The number does not need to be too large, just a few hundred. When seeing these demands, Prime Minister Li couldn't help but shake his head.
Is it because he hasn't returned to Xiliang for a long time, or because he hasn't killed anyone in Xiliang for a long time, that makes these people so bold and bold?
Even the Xiliang headquarters soldiers in his hands want to get involved. Don't you know that the Xiliang headquarters soldiers are its only reliance and support?
This is fighting for your own rights!
It has really been silent for too long, making people think that they are easy to provoke and bully. These people really dare to open a dyeing workshop just by giving them some color.
Do you really think that he wouldn't dare to kill someone who just slaps them in the face when they are given something?
The two guards who were guarding outside came to the battle and saw Li Xiang's angry face, and their hearts immediately rose.
Who made the lord angry again?
Seeing Li Xian's face, you knew that Li Xiang was on the verge of extreme anger. The last time he looked like this, he killed hundreds of thousands of people. A man with sharp eyes saw the weapon in the lord's hand.
letter.
He immediately knew what was going on. He didn't know what was written in the letter, but to make the lord become so angry, he must have written something that made the lord feel angry.
So the guard immediately said: "Lord, this letter was sent from Jiuyuan City, because the sender has a relatively high status. Before sending the letter, he specifically told the senders that they need to deliver the letter in person.
In your hands.
So after the letter is delivered, we immediately believe that it has been delivered to your desk!”
The guard immediately told everything he knew, not daring to hide anything.
"Relatively high status?" Li Xiang thought carefully in his mind, and the identity of the person matched his imagination. He really couldn't figure out who was behind the trouble.
The young officials in the Northwest Yamen were all recruited by Zhang Qingyun himself. Except for a few more important positions, which were filled by people designated by him, Zhang Qingyun accepted his fate alone.
So this person is probably not the person in his mind.
But this person must be found!
"Immediately ask someone to find the person who delivered the letter to me!" Li Xiang put the letter away, and then said to the guard: "When you find him, investigate his relationship with other people around him thoroughly.
Tell the secret guards not to take action yet, you know?"
"yes!"
Hearing that Li Xiang asked the secret guards to investigate, the soldiers in charge outside the tent felt a chill in their backs. The Xiliang secret guards were a department that frightened the soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters. The soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters made it difficult for them to
Will betray Prime Minister Li.
There are not many opportunities for them to enter the secret guard in their lives, but each of them has the opportunity to work in the secret guard, so the secret guard will randomly select some talented children to study in the secret guard.
If you can tolerate the rules and regulations of the secret guards and various criminal laws, you can become a staff member of the secret guards.
The two Xiliang headquarters soldiers who were guarding outside the big tent were both people who entered the secret guard to learn, and saw all kinds of criminal tools inside, and how those people treated traitors.
After seeing this, the two people felt that their bodies were very uncomfortable, so they withdrew. Although they withdrew, they did not stop sending news about the secret guards.
At the same time, you can hear from time to time how many traitors have been captured by the secret guards. They are divided into headquarters secret guards and secret guards according to their positions. The headquarters secret guards are much deeper hidden, while the secret guards are equivalent to a very ordinary intelligence organization.
.
The two complement each other. The secret guards of the headquarters are hidden in the secret position. One side oversees the land of Xiliang, and the other side also supervises the intelligence department composed of ordinary people.
Basically, no one who is targeted by the secret guards can escape from the prison of the secret guards alive.
It seems that something must have happened in the northwest, otherwise the lord would not be so angry!
Li Xiang suppressed his anger. He knew that it would not be beneficial to Xiliang if this matter was exposed, so he wanted to solve the matter secretly.
The best way to solve the problem is to kill the person who asked the question. Don't those people want the money and power in his hands? Then he has to see if these people are tough enough.
I don’t know how long they can hold on after they all enter the prison of the secret guards!
If he hadn't been confronting the armies of the two major families, he would have wanted to gallop back to the northwest and ask Zhang Qingyun what kind of ghosts he had recruited?
When Li Xiang sent people to investigate the officials who wrote the letter, a major incident occurred in the northwest Yamen, and Zhang Qingyun, known as a good old man, became angry.
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed all the dozen officials he had promoted, three or four of whom were already at the county magistrate level, and those counties were all very wealthy.
"Sir, are you going too far in doing this?" A young man who had been following Zhang Qingyun for a while said: "Sir, even if they made a mistake, just order them to rectify it. Now you will
All of them have been dismissed from official positions, which will easily arouse dissatisfaction among others."
"I would rather make them dissatisfied than watch them go to the road of death." Zhang Qingyun sighed and said helplessly: "How dare they put their hands into the lord's money bag and military power, am I right?
They are so nice, let them be unscrupulous."
"I can only hope that the letter was not delivered to the Lord!" Zhang Qingyun was really helpless towards these people who wanted to die.
