Qian Song

Chapter 161 Wu Guogong is really romantic (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

As soon as it was dawn, Li Cun dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

Then, four pretty young women with their own merits wanted to come out with Li Cun.

But it was stopped by Li Cun: "Go, go, go back to rest, women don't rest well, they age quickly."

When the four girls heard this, how could they not know that Li Cun was afraid that they would catch the cold and was caring for them. They all laughed very happily, and then turned their heads back three times a step at a time.

I don't know if it's because women in this era are so easy to coax, or because Li Cun's PUA skills are getting better and better. Li Cun has so many women, but most of them make Li Cun play with them happily, or even give up their hearts. , even if they don't see Li Cun once a month.

Seeing this scene, Wang Huiniang really couldn't figure it out, how could Li Cun, who didn't dare to touch when he sent him to the door, become what he is now?

Wang Huiniang stepped forward with a big belly, and said: "Officials, I have finished approving the memorials of Zhao Shilang and Zhang Shilang, and I have written some suggestions, and sent them to the officials."

Zhao Shilang and Zhang Shilang are Zhao Kai and Zhang Kui.

These two men are the financial wizards of the age.

Historically, Zhao Kai helped Zhang Jun issue coins in central Shu to solve the military expenditure problem of the Western Army; Zhang Kui printed salt banknotes for Zhao Gou and helped Zhao Gou solve financial problems.

Zhao Kai and Zhang Kui were originally low-ranking officials from the Zhao Song Dynasty. During the last peace talks, Li Cun specifically asked the Zhao Song Dynasty to ask for it.

The reason why Li Cun wanted two people with the same talent was because he was afraid that if there was a mistake, or he would not want to work for him after he came, so he bought an extra insurance.

Don't think so, the Zhao Song Dynasty handled things very quickly, not only sent Li Cun almost all the people Li Cun wanted, but also gave Li Cun both Zhao Kai and Zhang Kui.

After Zhao Kai and Zhang Kui came over, Li Cun had several long talks with them respectively, and explained to them in detail his idea of ​​currency reform.

What Li Cun didn't expect was that both Zhao Kai and Zhang Kui agreed to help him with this matter.

Li Cunxi thought about it carefully, and then guessed that this should be the ultimate dream of people who like to play with money. After all, if this kind of thing is done well, it will be recorded in history.

Moreover, Li Cun has this condition - Li Cun, who occupied Jiangnan, obtained a large number of copper mines in Jiangnan, and has the natural conditions to abolish the worthless iron coins.

Furthermore, the value of gold and silver in Li Cun's hands exceeds 500 million min.

Given such generous conditions to Zhao Kai and Zhang Kui, if they don't have the courage to try again, they will be too sorry for their talents.

However, Li Cun still has another problem, that is, Li Cun's financial level is not high, and Li Cun is worried that Zhao Kai and Zhang Kui will play the game of being in Cao Ying and heart in Han, so Li Cun I want to find someone to watch them and help me grasp the overall situation in coin issuance.

Naturally, Li Cun thought of Wang Huiniang, a financial genius.

Therefore, Li Cun asked Wang Huiniang to help him take charge of the currency reform.

This will also make Li Cun a lot easier.

Seeing Wang Huiniang coming, Li Cun scolded, "Look at you, you are so heavy, you should come here by yourself and ask Xiuniang to come, that's all."

Wang Huiniang said in her heart: "If I don't come here in person, can I meet your enemy?"

At this time, Wang Xiuniang, who was beside Wang Huiniang, bowed to Li Cunyingying: "I have seen my brother-in-law."

Li Cun smiled and said, "Xiu Niang is beautiful again."

When Wang Xiuniang heard this, two blushes appeared on her pretty face.

This made Li Cun's mind flutter, and his smile immediately became brighter.

Wang Huiniang really didn't know where Li Cun was so interested, unless he was really too tired to move, otherwise Li Cun was really motivated towards women.

However, this is a good thing for Li Cun's woman. Otherwise, there are more wolves and less meat, and the meat doesn't like to work anymore, so how can the wolves live?
Wang Huiniang lowered her voice and said, "Okay, don't read, come to my room tonight."

At first, Li Cun didn't realize it, Wang Huiniang is already this month, why is he still thinking about it?
But then, Li Cun realized that Wang Huiniang was preparing to fulfill himself.

Seeing this, Li Cun didn't care about Yuwen Huangzhong, Chen Yun, Li Gang and Li Guang coming over, he hugged Wang Huiniang, kissed her hard on the cheek, and said, "It's really my Li Cun's kindness!" Lady, after you give birth, I will love you so much!"

Being kissed by Li Cun in public, and listening to Li Cun's undisguised and even blatant words, Wang Huiniang's heart swayed again and again.

Gouging out Li Cun's eyes with all kinds of flair, Wang Huiniang, who also saw the four of Yuwen Huangzhong approaching, stuffed the memorial into Li Cun's arms, then turned and left with her head down.

Seeing this, Wang Xiuniang immediately stepped forward to help Wang Huiniang.

Li Cun, on the other hand, stared at Wang Xiuniang's upturned little butt, full of anticipation.

Until Yuwen Huangzhong's slightly narrow voice sounded: "Wu Guogong is really romantic."

Li Guang is not as tactful as Yuwen Huangzhong, he said habitually: "Beauty is the evil of stupidity."

Li Cun looked back and said with a smile, "This is my only pleasure. If Taifa takes it away, I have no fighting spirit."

Yuwen Huang Zhong said: "This place is just right, so that Duke Wu will not be harmed by the country and the people."

Li Cun looked directly at Li Guang and asked, "Will I harm the country and the people?"

No matter where Li Cun went, he would bring Yuwen Huangzhong, Chen Yun, Li Gang and Li Guang with him.

It is precisely because of this that the four of them can witness the various miracles brought by Li Cun.

For example, some time ago, Li Cun took the four of them to see Li Cun's improved fishing net.

As a result, fishermen caught tens of thousands of sea fish in one net.

It is conceivable that if this kind of fishing net is popularized, people in the southeast will have more rations.

What's more, Li Cun dared to risk the power of the world to award craftsmen who had no status before, and received honors for craftsmen with great achievements with the highest honors of "Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Nan", and It was Li Cun himself who awarded the honor.

——Li Cun promulgates laws, as long as they can be invented, improved, found, and summarized to be useful, regardless of industry, agriculture, education, transportation, transportation, anything is fine, as long as they can promote human progress, Li Cun will Rewards are given, those who have made great contributions are honored, and the rank and treatment are equivalent to those of officials who have the same title. Although they cannot be hereditary, they are enough to live comfortably and live a beautiful life.

The point is, Li Cunzhen didn't just talk about it casually.

During this period of time, Li Cun has awarded more than a dozen baron viscounts and two marquises.

People who have obtained barons and viscounts have all kinds of people, some have improved farm tools, some have contributed exclusive crop planting techniques, some have contributed unique medical skills, some have invented new algorithms, and some have discovered new astronomical laws .

The one who won the Marquis was Huang Shang from Nanping, Fujian Province. He drew a map of stars and engraved more than 400 stars in total; the other was Chen Yan. He has rich experience in production technology such as cattle, and pointed out that improving the soil through reasonable fertilization can make the soil "always fresh and strong", and he wrote the book "Nong Shu".

Li Cun gave both of them a very high evaluation, especially the latter. Judging from Li Cun's posture, that is, he is still a duke now, otherwise Chen Yan would definitely be duke.

Under Li Cun's advocacy and guidance, the lives of people in the southeast are undergoing fundamental changes.

Not to mention anything else, the farm tools produced by Li Cun and the "Nongshu" by Chen Tan, which is vigorously promoted, will definitely save a lot of manpower for this year's spring planting.

What's more, Li Cun didn't resort to militarism. The 60 million people he laid off seemed to be the main force in farming in western Zhejiang and Jiangnan West Road.

In addition, not long ago, Li Cun also instructed his concubine Qian to invent the loom, and asked people to go to the border to find cotton and teach his concubines to weave cotton cloth.

The four saw with their own eyes that the loom weaved quickly and well, and the cotton cloth was soft and comfortable.

Today, Li Cun is ready to arrange for people to grow cotton in large quantities.

It is conceivable that the dressing conditions of the people in the southeast will definitely be greatly improved in a short time.

Moreover, Li Cun is not greedy for pleasure.

If it were someone else who built such a large territory, he would definitely build his own palace or something.

But Li Cun has been living in Chen Jian's house.

It would be fine if they could live there, but Li Cun's family had too many people, so several of Li Cun's concubines had to squeeze into one room.

Someone persuaded Li Cun, and Li Cun either said that he liked it, or that Zhao Ji had already repaired the palace for me.

Others generally believe that Li Cun is unwilling to waste money on large-scale construction projects.

Looking at it this way, Li Cun not only did not harm the country and the people, but he can be said to be the savior of the people in the southeast.

Comparing Li Cun with the stupid Zhao Ji, the upright Li Guang couldn't say anything against his will, so he turned his head away.

Seeing this, Li Cun looked at Yuwen Huangzhong and said with a smile: "Taifa doesn't think I'm a disaster for the country and the people, I'm afraid I don't, in Taifa's heart, I, Li Cun, am a Youdao Mingjun ten thousand times stronger than Zhao Ji?"

Li Guang hummed, but didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Li Gang couldn't help but said: "If you don't solve the internal turmoil and foreign troubles as soon as possible, there is still Daoming Lord, I am afraid that if it is not for you, the position of Wu Guogong will not be guaranteed."

There are many ethnic minorities in Guangnan West Road. When the Zhao and Song Dynasty ruled there, they adopted a policy of confinement, granted a large number of awards every year, and appointed local officials to manage them. They took a steady line of recovery in batches and gradual advancement.

It has to be said that the Jumi policy of the Zhao Song Dynasty was quite effective. Except for the minority forces in Fushui Prefecture and Nandan Prefecture, most of the other Jimi prefectures have been merged into provincial areas.

However, the remaining ethnic minorities in Fushui Prefecture are powerful and do not have registered residence with the Han people. Their leader, Mengshi, and the four surnames of Qu, Liao, Pan, and Wu have repeatedly invaded the border areas of Yizhou and Rongzhou. .

The Mo family, the barbarian chieftain of Nandan Prefecture, is the same. He always asks Zhao Song for money and things, and if he doesn't give them, he invades the border areas of Nandan Prefecture.

Now that Li Cun has taken over Guangnan West Road, all these have become Li Cun's problems.

What's more, those ethnic minorities who had already voted for Zhao Song have now turned their backs, or they are asking Li Cun for money and things, as if Li Cun owed them.

It can be said that since Kong Lengzi hit Guangnan West Road, he has been dragged by these ethnic minorities in Yizhou and Nandan.

So far, this battle has been fought for almost half a year, and there has been little progress. This group of ethnic minorities takes advantage of their geographical advantages to fight guerrilla attacks against Kong Liaozi every day, and Kong Liaozi is helpless.

In addition, when the Song army withdrew, not all the landlord armed forces withdrew to Jingzhou, and a large number of landlord armed forces hid in the mountains of West Zhejiang and Jiangnan West Road.

Now, armed by these landlords, they are constantly harassing the people in Li Cun's territory, and even threaten to overthrow Li Cun and restore the Zhao Song Dynasty's rule over Jiangnan Liulu.

Moreover, these landlords' armed forces are not talking about it. They joined forces with Jingzhou's landlords' armed forces to attack Hongzhou once before and after.

Fortunately, Zhang Goudan took advantage of Hongzhou's geographical advantages to repel them.

After this incident, Li Cun has made up his mind that he must eliminate all the armed landlords in his territory as soon as possible.

In addition to these two troubles, Li Cun also encountered a more troublesome thing, that is, Li Cun's two neighboring countries, Annan and Zhancheng, two small countries, also provoked Li Cun.

Annan here has always been a vassal state of China in history, that is, a county of China.

Later, in the later period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, before the establishment of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, Annan broke away from China's control and established a country by himself.

The country of Annan, at the beginning of its establishment, showed strong expansion, often harassing the borders of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and from time to time, it took all the population of a county or even a state, that is, plundered the population.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhao Song Dynasty and Annan has always been bad.

After Li Cun got Guangnan West Road, he inherited this relationship.

Moreover, it may be that Annan heard about the changes in the Zhao Song Dynasty, and went to attack Nanning a few days ago, and then plundered the population of a county under Nanning.

In addition to Annan, there is Champa, who is also provoking Li Cun.

Because of the strong aggressiveness of Annan, a small country, Champa, which is next to Annan, was often bullied by Annan.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Therefore, the Zhao Song Dynasty and Champa were originally allies.

Under normal circumstances, after Li Cun captured Guangnan West Road, Champa should have embraced Li Cun's thigh instead.

But not only did the Zhancheng people not send envoys to see Li Cun, they even sent troops to ransack Qiongzhou Port and robbed a large number of Qiongzhou's population.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these two small countries stood on Li Cun's nose and taunted them as soon as they came up.

Later, Li Cun sent someone to investigate and found out that it was mainly money that moved people's hearts.

Because Li Cun vigorously developed maritime trade and reopened Qiongzhou Port.

Qiongzhou Port has thus become a material transfer point for various businesses.

Where there are so-called interests, there are rivers and lakes, and there will be some pirates colluding with local people to do some business of plundering past merchants.

Therefore, not only have pirates and robbers entered and left the waters near Hainan Island recently, but even Champa is jealous. Li Cun grabbed a fortune here.

Wars ignited in three places at the same time, and internal strife and external aggression tested Li Cun's new regime.

It's no wonder that Li Gang couldn't help reminding Li Cun that if these troubles were not resolved, Li Cun's position under his butt would be unstable.

Li Cun looked at Li Gang with a smile and said: "Bo Ji is willing to go to Guangnan West Road for me. If you want to go, I will entrust all the affairs there to you. When you come back, I will make you the governor." ,how?"

Hearing this, Li Gang didn't answer, but turned his head elsewhere.

Seeing this, Yuwen Huang Zhong's heart sank, and he said to himself: "These two people are not determined, and they may not be loyal to my Song Dynasty for a long time."

Yuwen Huang Zhong looked at Chen Xun, he hoped that Chen Xun, who had a strong willpower, could hold on and not let him fight alone.

But at this moment, Li Cun turned his head to Chen Yun, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, Humber will help me out, and the conditions are the same as Bo Ji."

Hearing this, Chen Yun didn't speak, but turned his head in another direction.

Seeing this, Yuwen Huang Zhong sighed leisurely: "If the Song Dynasty does not change to a wise emperor, the world will belong to Li Cun sooner or later."
