Chapter 639 Li Zicheng: Why does Li Chaosheng look down on me!
"Xianzun, the eldest princess of our Daming has already lived in Xi'an Mansion."
"Oh."
In Lantian County County Office, Li Chaosheng was looking at a document. Gu Zi said to Li Chaosheng from the side, but Li Chaosheng didn't raise his head when he heard the words.
"Well, send this document back to the Political Department and ask them to make a good calculation. In addition, we must pay close attention to the issuance of the first banknotes. If we find any problems, we must solve them in time, and we can't delay. All the issues related to the issuance of banknotes , there are no small things, all are big things, you know?"
Gu Zi nodded and said: "Understood the county lord, all our county-owned enterprises have been notified that they can all accept banknotes, and the first batch of banknotes have been issued, mainly for the salaries of government personnel and scholarships for school students. "
"Well, what is the attitude of the students towards the issuance of banknotes? Has the school told them that banknotes can be used as currency in circulation, can be used to buy teaching materials, and pay tuition?"
Gu Zi nodded and said, "It has been notified, and now the whole county is cooperating with the issuance of banknotes to ensure the smooth flow of banknotes."
Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "That's good. When the banknotes are officially circulated, our life will be easier."
Gu Zi nodded half-understood. Although he knew that the issuance of banknotes would be very beneficial to Lantian's economic policy, he didn't know the specific extent of the benefits.
This kind of matter should be considered by the Bank Bureau and the Ministry of Finance, and it has not much to do with him, the personal secretary of the county.
Compared with this matter, he was more concerned about the county lord's attitude towards Daming's eldest princess, Aimee Zhu.
"Xianzun, you really don't wonder what the eldest princess Zhu Yu looks like? I heard that she looks quite beautiful and dignified, and she is a beauty."
Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "What's so good about a 14-year-old girl? She has no buttocks and waist. That's all right. Don't tell me these useless things. Give me the military newspaper from Gansu." Come."
Gu Zi heard the words and brought the document over, Li Chaosheng opened it, and Gu Zi said: "The county lord, it's not easy if you don't want to see her now, since the eldest princess stayed here yesterday, she has been clamoring desperately to see the county lord." , if we keep her in the air, it's not a solution."
Gu Zi said to Li Chaosheng, upon hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned slightly and said, "What does she want to do, clamoring to see me?"
Gu Zi said: "I heard from Deshu that this princess was probably brainwashed by that old eunuch Cao Huachun, and now she wants to feed a tiger with her body and win Lan Tian's support for her father."
"Feeding a tiger with your body? You mean I'm a tiger?"
Guzi laughed and said, "Xianzun, it's not a tiger. Could it be that a 14-year-old girl is a tiger? Let me tell you, Xianzun, why don't you just accept this girl? Although her development is not good, she has no buttocks and waist. , but it might be enough to raise her for two years, besides, the little girl looks pure and beautiful."
"The most important thing is that the little girl is filial and willing to do anything for her father. Why doesn't the county honor her?"
Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng with a smile, Li Chaosheng glared at Gu Zi and said, "Why don't you go."
Gu Zi said: "Women of the county lord, I am not qualified to touch her. Besides, this princess of Ming Dynasty is in trouble. I can't wait for ordinary people to get involved."
After Guzi finished speaking, Li Chaosheng glared at him and said, "You know you can't do it, but you insist on me doing it. Why do you care?"
Gu Zi laughed and said, "Xianzun, it's different. The county zun's mana is so powerful that it can dissipate the karma of the princess."
Li Chaosheng said, "Not interested."
After saying this, Li Chaosheng said: "But you were right just now. It's really not easy for a 14-year-old girl to leave her hometown and come to our place. Besides, she is accompanied by a restless and kind old eunuch, which is troublesome."
"That's right, Xian Zun, I don't think so. Such a little girl, at such a young age, is pestered and brainwashed by an old cunt every day. She can still have one. County Zun, let's save her."
Gu Zi said from the side, Li Chaosheng glared at Gu Zi, and followed him: "Don't talk about it, so, you inform the academy to send an excellent female student to Xi'an Mansion to accompany Aimi Zhu in my name, and wait for the two Now that we are familiar, we can go to the college to study together. In terms of brainwashing, our Lantian College is the ancestor of that old eunuch. Why did the old eunuch wash up like this, so let the college wash it back. This little girl is also pitiful, let her see How should women in the new era live."
"This, I understand, I will arrange it."
Gu Zi nodded and said yes, followed by Gu Zi and said: "By the way, the county lord, there is one more thing. Our Henan envoy received an invitation from Li Zicheng, saying that Li Zicheng is going to hold a meeting in Luoyang on the Double Ninth Festival, and invite the world's anti-kings to gather together to discuss For the important event of Ming Dynasty, I also sent us an invitation to Li Chaosheng, the king of Guanzhong."
"Ahem, Guanzhong King?"
Li Chaosheng couldn't help but cough a few times when he heard this title. This Li Zicheng is insidious enough. He raised himself up to reduce his attention. The enemy, although, Li Chaosheng is not very afraid.
Indeed, with Lan Tian's current strength, Da Ming really has nothing to threaten him, but if he can't be threatened, it doesn't mean that Li Chaosheng will be taken advantage of. Cleaning up the rubbish forces in Daming's homeland, how could he act independently of the script and push himself ahead of him?
This is blatant rebellion, blatant wanting to get out of control, Li Chaosheng dislikes his plan being disrupted the most, so this Luoyang conference is to give himself eye drops.
Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "I won't go to this bullshit conference. I also announced to the public that I don't like the title of bullshit Guanzhong King. I, Li Chaosheng, are the magistrate of Lantian County. Anti-king, and they are not the same as Li Zicheng, don't let Li Zicheng give us shit hats."
"Yes, magistrate."
Gu Zi understood.
Go out immediately, and soon Lantian's announcement spread all over the world. Li Chaosheng did not participate in Li Zicheng's Luoyang meeting, and he used a domineering attitude to draw a clear relationship with Li Zicheng and other anti-kings.
The matter quickly spread to Li Zicheng in Luoyang City.
Li Zicheng's stay in Luoyang City was not very comfortable recently. After he occupied Luoyang City, he wanted to follow Li Chaosheng's example and use Luoyang as his base to carry out reforms, and finally turned Luoyang into his base camp. After some operations, he found that The more he struggled, the poorer Luoyang became. This group of rogues really did not accomplish enough and failed.
Luoyang Dacang has so much grain, and it has been almost enough to eat in the next three months. They want to let them plant seeds and continue to grow grain, but the refugees directly pick their own picks, and they quit.
Only then did Li Zicheng realize that it is very simple to turn a commoner from a farmer to a bandit. As long as his house is burned down, they will follow him. At the head of the city, the defenders with long knives and firecrackers are desperately fighting.
After the city is broken, they can also rush into the city to rob and plunder like robbers, but after they have tried the pleasure of plundering, you can let them return to the original and farm, grandma, no one can help No, we quit.
So there is the current miserable scene. Li Zicheng encouraged three months without a single bandit picking up a hoe and going out to farm. The good farmland outside was overgrown with weeds in just three months.
And the rogues in the city were drunk and dreaming of death. Except for a few troops in his old battalion who still maintained a certain fighting capacity, the rest of the rogues were a mess.
Only then did Li Zicheng really know what it means to be a bandit when he succeeds, and a bandit when he loses.
Moreover, Li Zicheng has also summed up in the past few months. A large part of the reason for his success is because of the rogues, and he should not have illusions about the rogues. Now they can't settle down. Day is a bandit, life is a bandit.
This is like a beggar. After many people become beggars, if you ask him to find a class, he will definitely not do it. Therefore, few of them are willing to continue to be farmers after becoming bandits. of the day.
So Li Zicheng found out, rogues, you don't want to survive, all you have to do is keep exercising, let the rogues flow, and he will have a powerful lethality.
So Li Zicheng decided to move. He had enough time in Luoyang, and he wanted to continue going north. After all, he stayed here, but the old emperor stayed in the capital. The old emperor made him unemployed, how could he let him feel good.
So Li Zicheng was about to start another large-scale rebellion career, but the only hateful thing was that Sun Chuanting looked at himself very badly, so he wanted to use his current status as the leader of the world's anti-kings to hold a meeting to invite the world to fight against the kings. With the help of righteousness, Sun Chuanting will be wiped out in one fell swoop, the obstacles to his northward journey will be removed, and his great cause of rebellion will be completed.
So under the instigation of Li Yan, the military adviser, Li Zicheng sent an invitation to Li Chaosheng. The content of the invitation was very polite. Li Zicheng even said in the invitation that as long as Li Chaosheng came, the second king of the rebel army would be Li Chaosheng. Yes, in the future he will be the great king, and Li Chaosheng will be king side by side, and the two can rule the world together.
To be honest, Guzi was furious after reading Li Zicheng's invitation. What kind of level Li Zicheng dared to recruit our family's county honorables to join the team?
You are the boss, and our county honor is the second, thanks to Li Zicheng who can figure out what he is, so he didn't mention it in the report, but just told the county honor, what kind of shit does Li Zicheng want him to attend the Luoyang conference? , to support charity.
Sure enough, the county lord's attitude was similar to what he predicted, and he was very angry. Li Zicheng was actually a poisonous insect that the county lord intentionally raised. Now the poisonous insect has grown up and wants to come back to bite the master, and biting the master is not a big deal , he even wants to treat his master as a younger brother now, isn't it just showing shame to you?
Therefore, Li Zicheng was looking forward to the September [-] Chongyang Luoyang Meeting, and Li Chaosheng pushed back the first invitation.
And Li Chaosheng's statement also angered many people.
Snapped!
Li Zicheng threw the teacup in his hand angrily, and said angrily: "He, Li Chaosheng, what can he be arrogant about? Everyone was born in Shaanxi, and I was born as his mother's postman. He was also a bandit. I saw it." Think of him, send him an invitation, and let him be the second king of the alliance. He's not from the same way, why, Li Chaosheng has more balls than Lao Tzu, what's so awesome about him!"
Li Zicheng was furious, stomping his feet and cursing in the street, he thought about flattering Li Chaosheng kindly, but Li Chaosheng didn't follow up, didn't this show his embarrassment?
What's even more exasperating is the Luoyang conference. If Li Chaosheng didn't come to participate, the effect would be lost at least half. If Li Chaosheng came to participate, it would bring him unrivaled influence and morale. However, the little thief Li Chaosheng didn't fall for it. It's her mother's fault, which made Li Zicheng angry.
Li Zicheng was furious, and the three advisers beside him, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, and Li Yan, watched Li Zicheng vent all his grievances without saying a word. In fact, it doesn't matter if Li Chaosheng doesn't come to participate. He Li Chaosheng is used to being arrogant, and he looks down on us for one thing. He came and said that he would be the second king. Will support him even more."
After Li Yan said this, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance looked at each other. This guy just didn't eat the grapes and said that the grapes were sour. If Li Chaosheng was really willing to come, they would be willing to give him the leader. come?
They all felt that Li Yan's idea of inviting Li Chaosheng was immature. Li Chaosheng was a well-known loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty. He obviously had the power to sweep the world, but he didn't make a move. He just entrenched in Lantian and watched the world. A person who was labeled as an anti-king, how could he come here to get involved?
After hearing Li Yan's words, Li Zicheng calmed down his anger and said, "Mr. Li, you don't need to persuade me like this. I know that he, Li Chaosheng, is arrogant and looks down on us fellows who came from bandits. I just can't get over it. They are doing rebellious business. Why should he, Li Chaosheng, be superior to others and look down on me!"
"Chuangwang calm down, he Li Chaosheng is a man who seeks fame and reputation. We invited him here just to use his name to cheer up the world's rebels and let more people join us. In fact, it is a good thing that he does not come. He thinks He can escape our plan if he doesn't come, he is thinking too much, I have another plan, I can lure this guy into the trap!"
"Oh, tell me, Mr. Li!"

"Xianzun, the eldest princess of our Daming has already lived in Xi'an Mansion."
"Oh."
