Iron blood Suiming

() Everyone sat down, Fan Zongquan got up and said some good things to cleanse the dust, everyone toasted, the banquet began, during the banquet, the gentry from various counties took turns to praise, and occasionally a few gentry who had read some books told some interesting stories, everyone laughed, It's also very happy.If it wasn't for the cold sweat from the temples of the gentlemen and businessmen who betrayed them, I thought they were no longer afraid of Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo knew it well, but he didn't think these people were hypocritical or annoying.The world really can't do without them.Without the circulation of merchants and the support of local gentry, some matters can only be resolved by violence.But violence can solve most problems, but violence cannot be used for a long time.

Therefore, Li Jianguo enjoyed the feeling of fighting wits with gentry and businessmen. Anyway, he had a trump card. If he couldn't play with these businessmen, Li Jianguo would use violence.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Jianguo saw that he was almost done drinking, and seeing some gentlemen looking at each other, and when he wanted to say something, Li Jianguo stood up and said with a smile: "It's almost the same. The officer is still busy with business, so I won’t drink any more, and we’re leaving, if you have anything to do in the future, you can find this Mr. Wei, he can pass on your affairs to the officer, and leave.”

Speaking of pointing at Wei Chuping, Wei Chuping cupped his fists, seeing that Li Jianguo had already left, he quickly followed.The gentry and merchants looked at each other, and finally turned to Fan Zongquan and the others.

Fan Zongquan and the others looked at each other, each nodded slightly, and left without saying anything.Who are they?They are all people who are more sophisticated than monkeys. Li Jianguo has already made it very clear. If you want to do something, go to Wei Chuping alone.If you want to unite, don't blame me for being rude.This is to prevent the gentry and businessmen from being twisted together, which is a great disadvantage to Li Jianguo.

Therefore, the gentry and businessmen should be separated and treated separately.Some people with poor understanding were still scratching their heads, while some were thoughtful and hurried to find the leading figures in the county.

Li Jianguo handed over all these matters to Wei Chuping. He made up his mind to train Wei Chuping into a person like Xiao He, Changsun Wuji, and Li Shanchang, and take care of logistics and other affairs for him. Chuping has great potential.

Just leave a sentence for Wei Chuping, the food cannot be sold, but more should be bought, and you can figure out the rest, just let me know when you are done.Then Li Jianguo threw Wei Chuping to those gentry businessmen and went back home on his own.

For more than ten days in a row, Li Jianguo was planning something in the mansion. During this period, Tie Da Pao came once and said that flintlock guns were ready to be made, but the output was too low. More than [-] craftsmen specializing in firearms could only make about One hundred pieces, mainly because the casting process is not good, and we have to find ways to improve it, which will take some time.Those arquebus guns can be transformed into flintlock guns, but the cost of transformation is about the same as building a new gun, so Iron Cannon suggested that it is better not to transform it, if you really want to transform it, it is better to go back to the furnace and rebuild it. <Whether the son born is Feng Guoyong's biological son is still under investigation.

Wei Chuping ran to the commander's mansion every day, complaining every day, saying that he was too busy with things.Li Jianguo simply gave him eight places, and asked him to find eight people to help him deal with some unimportant matters. Only then did Wei Chuping escape from the endless torture of pain and happiness.

Wulian and Haiyang counties smashed through the city gates after the Fran cannon arrived, but it was already too late. According to Li Kaiguo's order, the county magistrates, the village chiefs, and the gentry and businessmen were all skinned. , Shocked the whole Shandong, and even the chief envoy of Shandong went to the capital in person, wanting to ask the emperor to send troops to relieve the people of Shandong.

But for some reason, he only stayed in Beijing for a day, and then came back. After returning, he kept silent, making everyone in Shandong official circles feel insecure, thinking that the imperial court had abandoned Shandong.In fact, the imperial court just ignored Shandong for the time being. In order to wipe out the bandits headed by Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong, the imperial court had secretly ordered Chen Qiyu to go to Beijing to solve the banditry problem in one fell swoop.

As for Shandong, as long as Li Kaiguo does not take all of Shandong, the imperial court will not send troops.Because in the eyes of the Ming court, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc. are the serious troubles, and Li Jianguo is just a small thief, and he can't become a lord.

If Emperor Chongzhen knew that it was Li Kaiguo who made the capital disturbance and that it was Li Kaiguo who put on a big green hat for him, he would not be so calm.Since Jinyiwei and Dongchang had been destroyed by Li Jianguo in Beijing, it took Emperor Chongzhen a lot of thought to rebuild the upper level of Jinyiwei, let alone track down Li Jianguo.

Even if [-] cavalry were killed and [-] were killed, and who attacked Tianjin Wei, the Ming court was at a loss.Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to check it out after a thunderstorm, and spent all his energy on suppressing the bandits.

Therefore, except for the fact that the Lingshan Guards sent troops to various counties to extort property, Shandong was very peaceful. Anyway, the Lingshan Guards only went to those small counties, and they would not go to the big cities and Jinan Prefecture, so they did not exceed the tolerance of the officials. Bankruptcy and disaster relief.

As a result, the wealth of Lingshanwei increased rapidly. After a month, all the official roads in Shandong were transporting property to Lingshanwei. To the point where cars and horses are generally allowed to pass, they dare not even fart.

It's October in a blink of an eye, and the rice planted in season at the end of September has been harvested.The replanted rice was taken care of by the master, and it was only ten days late to harvest, which was [-]% more than expected.

Li Jianguo was overjoyed, this Cheng Yi was indeed a talent, a master of farming.He rewarded Cheng Yi with 5000 taels of silver, a mansion covering an area of ​​ten mu, and twenty beautiful maids.Cheng Yi accepted it without hesitation, and applied to Li Jianguo for more power and more money for growing grain.

Li Jianguo immediately summoned Wei Chuping and asked him to agree to Cheng Yi's request without restriction, as much money as he wanted, but there must be a detailed plan for each transaction.

In October, in the original history, the battle between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch East India Company did not start. The two sides fought on a small scale at sea. Zheng Zhilong was looking for an opportunity to defeat the Dutch fleet in one fell swoop.

In November, the population of Lingshanwei reached 50. The increase was brought by poor people who had no food or clothing and feared that they would not be able to survive the winter.This kept Lingshanwei's logistics officials very busy for a while, and even temporarily promoted nearly a hundred officials to arrange these people.

In December, history surprisingly brought things back to their original position. Without the help of Liu Xiang's fleet, the warship of the Dutch East India Company was found by Zheng Zhilong in Liaoluo Bay, Kinmen on December [-]th. Three and thirty fireships defeated the Dutch warships in one fell swoop, the Netherlands withdrew from the competition for the power of the southeast sea, and Zheng Zhilong's family monopolized the power of the southeast sea.
