I'm a big dick

Chapter 203 Developing Logistics
ah? !Li Chengcheng's mood immediately became depressed.My lord, I just resigned modestly, so why forget it!

Zhu Youxiao laughed, reached out and opened the drawer, took out a small round mirror, and handed it to Li Chengcheng, "Here, I will reward you."

Li Chengcheng's mood - ups and downs and ups and downs, you don't have such a thing, my lord.

However, after receiving this small mirror, Li Chengcheng was really ecstatic, and knelt down to salute and thank him.

Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a young woman.

She has secretly looked at the mirror on the emperor's table that can take a very clear picture of people many times, and she also knows that this mirror is priceless.

But this baby that I didn't even dare to think about just got it. Although it was a little small, Li Chengcheng was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Seeing the girl's overjoyed and restrained appearance, Zhu Youxiao was quite moved, but he still held back.

A daughter-in-law is easy to find, but a shit-shoveling officer is hard to find!

Zhu Youxiao sighed helplessly, and wrote a reply to Wu Zheng.

At the same time, I also told Li Dan and Yan Siqi that if they earn more, they will do good deeds, such as orphanages for orphans, medicines for the elderly, etc.

This is what it means to repay the society.More compassionate care for vulnerable groups also reduces the burden on the country.

After finishing writing here, Zhu Youxiao picked up Wu Dazhang's letter again, pondered for a while, and took up a pen to reply.

The disappointment with the gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River made Zhu Youxiao rely more on the subdued Tongzhou merchant gang.Of course, this also has a lot to do with his emphasis on the development and stability of the north.

It's still the same purpose, not to let the business gang contribute money and effort for nothing, and Zhu Youxiao also proposed a way for them to make money and expand.

The development of business will force the rise and expansion of many industries.The most direct, what Zhu Youxiao can think of at once is logistics, warehousing, transportation, and postal services.

Zhu Youxiao's idea is to rely on the post station, the imperial court will provide the land, and the merchants will help build inns and warehouses, operate independently, and pay taxes according to regulations.

There is no more trouble-free and quicker way than this. The post stations are set up according to the distance, and they are all above the official road.It is equivalent to a ready-made planning site, and even some houses and personnel are ready-made.

Speaking of the ancient post station, it is really an interesting product.It is not only the postal communication system of the imperial court, but also a public guest house and logistics transfer station.

Because officials can live and eat free of charge by virtue of the survey and cooperation or fire cards, and change horses.In special times, the post station also needs to transfer food, grass and military supplies for the imperial court.

In the late Yuan Dynasty, with the aggravation of the corruption system, the post station also became a free welfare for powerful officials.Even businessmen, monks, etc., can use money to sell certificates for board and lodging at post stations.

This undoubtedly increased the financial expenditure of the court and increased the burden on the people.

After Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, it was clearly stipulated that the post station could only be used by officials who were on business trips, and that no one else could use it.

In order to warn the officials and the people, and to prove the authority and seriousness of this law, Zhu Baba even executed a dignitary in the court.

But in the late Ming Dynasty, the post station system also repeated the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty, but there were some differences in severity.

Of course, the corruption of the post station is not worth the emperor's own hands.Bi Zisu's Procuratorate has made the abuse of post stations a project for evaluating officials.

Strictly control the inspection and cooperation, determine the reception standards and the number of people, and the post station adopts a registration and reporting system.This three-pronged approach, coupled with severe punishment and severe punishment, can still be very effective in changing the current situation.

Now, build inns and warehouses, strengthen logistics and transportation, launch a postal system, and increase private communications.The income obtained will not only improve the life of Yi Ding, but also benefit the common people.

Little Lizi, you will rebel against me this time?Be a postman honestly!
Zhu Youxiao put down his pen, showing a smug and slightly sly smile.

Guiyang.

It has been more than two months since the siege was broken, and the wounds caused by the war have not fully recovered, but a new look has emerged.

To attract migrants, expand reclamation, and restore the economy, the governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan, was in Guiyang, and soon began a series of measures to stabilize the society and revitalize the local area.

Relying on the golden flowers and silver drawn by the emperor, buying food to secure the people, recruiting real troops, and Wang Sanshan being a hard-working official, the place soon settled down.

However, the Ming army confronted the rebels at the Luguang River and the Yachi River. Because of the lack of water warfare officers and ships, they were not eager to cross the river to fight.

After the besieged rebels lost their troops, some ethnic minorities surrendered to the Ming army. An Bangyan felt that he was weak and did not dare to cross the river to invade. He dug deep trenches along the river and increased his troops to defend.

Luguang River is a section of the Yachi River in the upper reaches of Wujiang River passing through Xiuwen and Xifeng counties, in the southwest of Shui.

"Zhi" says: "The river in the west of the water, the largest one is called Lu Guang, the upper flow is called Yachi, the lower flow is called Huangshadu, it meets Qingshui River, and the east meets Fujiang River, Yachi or Yachi River . "

Both the enemy and the enemy took the river as the line of defense, stepped up preparations and deployments, and waited for the opportunity of the next combat confrontation.

The current governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan, was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli. After decades of ups and downs in his career, he is almost 60 years old.

At the same time, he was very disappointed with the intrigues and party strife in the officialdom, so he asked for leave to go home several times, and did not return after the deadline.In the 47th year of Wanli, he never returned to the court on the grounds of going back to his hometown for the funeral for his wife.

It wasn't until Ming Taichang changed Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Guangzong came to the throne, and made Wang Sanshan Taichang Shaoqing that he had no choice but to return to the capital.

Since he was ordered to quell the rebellion, Wang Sanshan devoted all his energy to gathering troops and accumulating provisions. Finally, with the help of reinforcements from the Beijing camp, he attacked from three directions, defeated [-] rebels, and broke the siege of Guiyang.

Wang Sanshan was quite complacent about winning more with less, but what displeased him was that the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp refused to listen to his orders.

To be precise, he did not carry out his order to cross the Luguang River and take advantage of the victory to attack the rebels.However, in order to defend against the rebellion of the rebels, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are well-arranged and have no gaps.

When the imperial court appointed Zhu Xieyuan as the governor of the military of the five provinces, Wang Sanshan also received the counter-insurgency strategy.Only then did he understand that Jingying acted according to the will of the Holy Majesty, not because of timidity and cowardice.

Steady and enterprising, not rash and deep.Whether it is Zhu Xieyuan's writing or the imperial court's will, this point has been repeatedly emphasized.

Even though Wang Sanshan had some opinions, he didn't dare to act without authorization.Depressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Wang Sanshan still carried out the court's arrangement to the letter.

After more than two months of recovery, the people are basically stable, the government and army have also stabilized the line of defense, and the blockade of Shuixi has become increasingly strict.

At this time, Wang Sanshan and Li Zong, the former governor of Guiyang, had just inspected the newly built gunpowder weapon factory outside the city, and returned to the city on horseback.

Li Sang was a talented official. He stood out in the defense of Guiyang. With less than [-] soldiers, he recruited volunteers and resisted the siege of An Bangyan's rebels for several months, which shows his bravery.

Li Zong, who had gone through hardships and is about to leave office, should be relieved and relaxed, but he looked gloomy and gloomy.

Wang Sanshan knew some clues, without it, the courtiers' attacks.

Before An Bangyan's rebellion, Li Zong could see that this guy had ulterior motives, and Guiyang's city defense and grain storage made him even more worried.

In order to prevent problems before they happened, he went to the imperial court many times to ask for an increase in soldiers and military pay.

However, the imperial court was eager to conquer Liao and had no time to care about it, so it ignored Li Sang's request.At this time, Li Shuang was attacked by courtiers again, so he went to the shuffle six times to beg for retirement.

The imperial court decided to appoint Wang Sanshan as the governor of Guizhou, and ordered Li Xun to continue serving until the new governor took office.Then An Bangyan rebelled, Guiyang was besieged, and Li Fang also took on the important task of defending Guiyang.

After months of siege, dangers arose one after another.Li Zong united the gentry, recruited volunteers, and worked hard with the Governor Yushi Yong'an and other officials to keep Guiyang safe.

At the most critical moment, Li Zong even made preparations to kill himself to become benevolent, that is, "burn books and clothes, warn his family members, and commit suicide if he is in a hurry, and give them all a sword ring."

It stands to reason that the imperial court will definitely reward such contributions and achievements.After Wang Sanshan took over, he and Li Zong both went to the court to ask for rewards for meritorious personnel.

But there was no reply from the imperial court, but rumors spread.The censor Jiang Yunyi pointed at Li Xun, saying that when An was in the position of chieftain of Xishui, Li Xun extorted money from him, which led to An's rebellion.

Rumor has it, I haven't seen any reports from the residence, nor have I seen any inquiries from the imperial court. Li Xun can't write a letter to defend himself, so why don't you feel depressed!
"Master Li." Wang Sanshan was quite sympathetic, and couldn't help but comforted him: "Before the rumors are confirmed, don't worry about them."

Li Xun smiled wryly, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your comfort. It's just that before Guiyang was besieged, there were already courtiers attacking Guiyang, and someone had already begged to leave. I didn't expect that now..."

Seeing Li Suan shaking his head again and again, Wang Sanshan was also very helpless.People are desperate in the front, and there are impeachment attacks in the back. Such a trend is not uncommon.

The key is thousands of miles away, what can you know?Hearsay is good, and nonsense is not uncommon.

"Long live is a wise king." Wang Sanshan clasped his hands and said, "I can tell right from wrong, and I can tell the merit of Master Li's perseverance in the isolated city."

Li Zong blinked his eyes, then cupped his hands and said, "Long live Shengming."

Seeing that Li Sang's knot was still unresolved, Wang Sanshan had no choice but to change the topic and ask about the customs and customs around Guiyang to learn more about the situation.

When they were approaching the city gate, two horsemen galloped out. Seeing Wang Sanshan and others, they rushed forward to report that the imperial envoy had arrived, and asked the two adults to go and receive the order.

Wang Sanshan and Li Zong didn't dare to be negligent, they hurriedly urged their horses to gallop to the Governor's Yamen.

The officials in the yamen had already set up the incense table in the main hall, and following the imperial envoy, there was another civil official who was drinking tea and talking with the imperial envoy in the side hall.

Wang Sanshan and Li Xun hurried forward to pay respects, but the imperial envoy was polite and asked them to sit down for a while, and announced the decree together when the inspector censor Yong'an arrived.

Compared with Wang Sanshan, Li Xun was apprehensive.I don't know if the decree was issued as a reward or a punishment, and if the rumors I heard are true or false.
