Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 674 Trading

Straight to the point, looking at each other with disgust, these are not beyond Li Jing's expectations. Judging from the various behaviors of the young county king, the other party is definitely not a character who swallows his anger.

With a letter from Master Li Ke, his nephew Li Zhaode went north, and Li Jing also knew what he was going to face next... It was nothing more than a transaction.

But the other party said the words of entrusting Daizhou so quickly, which still surprised Li Jing.

What surprised Li Jing even more was Li Shan's intermittent and highly infectious words.

"I don't deny that you and I are tired of seeing each other. The Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi is indeed one of the reasons for this time." Brother, Zhaode is not too vulgar, so I will pay you in every detail."

"Uncle Qianyou brought someone to the battle, and Uncle Hakka sent his own guards to protect him. The battle in Shandong was a lucky success, and Brother Demou and Zhaode were advocating in Beijing. Only then did Li Huairen become famous."

"But that's not the main reason."

Li Shan seemed to have thought of it, and after a short pause, he looked at Cui Xin, and said with a bitter smile: "It is said that Chang'an is rumored to be a famous general again?"

Li Zhaode rushed to the front and said, "Brother Huai defeated the Turks, and Jieli Khan fled northward in a panic. Everyone in the court praised him."

"That's true." Cui Xin glanced at Li Yaoshi, nodded and said: "Hearing that Zhong Shu Ling Guan Guogong mentioned it, His Majesty is delighted, and Pharmacist will get Handan again later."

Li Shan smiled miserably, with tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, and slowly shook his head, "Your Majesty is wrong."

"The Duke of Yongkang County is a famous general in the world, but he is not..."

"Yongkang County can use the lives of soldiers and even the school as pawns, like Han Xin and Bai Qi, nineteen vertically and horizontally..."

"But I can't do it, and I can't bear to do it."

Li Yaoshi's expression moved slightly, and he had a strange feeling in his heart. Of course he knew what the other party meant, but all generals can be gracious, or they can be benevolent soldiers, but when they go to the battlefield, they only have victory or defeat in their minds, not life or death.

Throughout the ages, the kindness of the soldiers has never been Wu Qi who sucked the soldiers and gangrene, but when he went to the battlefield, how could this famous general take the lives of the soldiers in his heart... Even the mother of the soldier knew that my son died.

"Compassion does not control soldiers, compassion does not control soldiers." Li Shan shook his head in pain, "It is easy to say, but it is so difficult to do..."

"Three thousand soldiers, their voices and appearances are still in sight,"

"Who doesn't have parents, who doesn't want to live?"

"Ants still steal their lives..."

Can understand this truth, but can't do it... Li Jing made a judgment in his heart. Judging from the series of actions in chasing the Turks, the King of Handan County has the potential to become a famous general, but perhaps it will never be possible to become a famous general.

At the same time, Li Jing could really feel the pain in Li Shan's heart. He once heard his nephew Li Kai mention that the county king was always worried about the personal guard who followed him to Guji Town and suffered heavy casualties just the day before yesterday. , and sacrificed to the wounded.

After a long silence, Li Shan nodded and said: "Director Daizhou, you Li Yaoshi is indeed more suitable than XX."

"The Acting Governor Shi is recommended by you. I think His Majesty can rest assured. The Shuozhou soldier Cao Canjun and the cavalry deputy commander are two positions. It is best if you have someone in Yuan Junzhang's old department. If you don't have one, then you have to break up."

"Although Guo Ziheng, Niu Bin, and Du Shiyuan have rebelled, but... I just hope that the killing will not be too heavy. On that day, Mayi, a certain person made a promise."

Li Jing nodded, "Don't worry."

In fact, one of the things that Li Jing was most worried about, or one of the positions, was acting governor Shi, Donggong and Qin Wangfu took the heir, Zhang Gongjin was appointed as Biejia, and Erzhu Yichen was appointed as Sima, which just reached a balance.

If Li Shan intervenes in this position, the East Palace and the King of Qin will probably die down... Anyway, there is no cheap opponent, and even His Majesty may acquiesce, but Li Jing himself will feel uncomfortable, and it is more likely that he will be ostracized for a period of time.

This was unbearable for Li Jing.

Li Jing has already been thinking in his heart, who should he recommend as acting governor?
This position is said to be the second-in-command of the acting governor's office, but how much power you have depends on whether you, the acting governor, are willing to delegate power. You have to choose a person who is not involved in seizing the heirloom and has a relatively mild temper... such as Liu Shirang The old man will definitely not do it.

And it is best to choose among the officials of Daizhou, Shuozhou, and Xinzhou. Li Jing has self-knowledge. scramble.

Soon, Li Jing decided on the candidate, Sima Qin Wutong of Shuozhou... This person was handpicked by Li Yuan out of Shuozhou. What's more important is that he has a gentle temperament... Can he partner with Liu Shirang if he has a bad personality?

After Li Jing proposed this candidate... Li Shan raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised that the other party chose Qin Wutong, but was surprised that Li Jing said it at this time.

Pooh!
Why was the famous general at that time going to climb up the pole!
The corner of Li Shan's mouth curled into an arc, staring at Li Jing slightly uneasy.

"Okay, I'm going to letter to Princess Pingyang alone." Li Shan replied, "Shuozhou soldier Cao Canjun and the deputy commander of the cavalry don't need to write a letter, you can choose."

His Majesty's approval is required for acting governor history, and the latter two positions only need to be appointed by the acting state governor, and then go to the official document court for filing.

Li Jing didn't expect the other party to agree so quickly, and put Qin Wutong on the history of acting governor. Li Shan is the most suitable candidate...just reveal one or two things in the letter, and His Majesty should nod soon.

After hesitating for a while, Li Jing rarely showed a smile, "Daizhou Army, local..."

"It's all handled by your subordinates." Li Shan interrupted: "Although there are no powerful families in Daizhou, the local powerful clans have prospered due to commerce and trade in the past year. If anyone who transports grain, grass, and ironware leaves the customs, they can be killed."

Li Jing's smile faltered, and the other party responded so readily. He tried to make some retreats in the Daizhou Army's grassroots generals, but was blocked back.

Li Jing couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Today's transaction... the other party spoke frankly and without obstacles, but what exactly did he need to pay?

I don't seem to have anything the other party needs...

But if you don't pay anything, how can you feel at ease.

Following Li Shan's eloquence, Li Jing was even more worried.

Li Shanru reviewed all the officials in Daizhou Governor's Mansion, Xinzhou Dudufu's Mansion, Shuozhou Dudufu's Mansion and most of the county government officials, pointing out that some of them were placed by Zhang Gongjin, some of them The people were placed by Xue Wanche and Lu Chengji, what kind of background some people have, some people are too greedy, and some people have what talents.

While Li Jing memorized it in his heart, he sized up Li Kai... The nephew looked helpless, obviously Li Shan was not talking nonsense.

With these materials, Li Jing's time to control the four continents will be greatly shortened, and there is no need to probe, no need to inquire again... and these things are difficult for him, the acting governor who is very conflicted, to do immediately.

Li Jing couldn't help lamenting in his heart, he had been in the ups and downs of his career for decades, and it's not uncommon for him to encounter similar transactions, but it's really never seen such a one-shot deal.

Li Jing would never think that the other party was trying to clear up the past, so what would he have to pay?
