Iron blood Suiming

() After Li Kaiguo left with a full load, the magistrate of Changle County confirmed that Li Kaiguo's army had gone far, so he secretly sent people out of the city to bring the corpses left outside the city into the city, and waited until he saw that the whole body of those people had been cut off The magistrate of Changle immediately vomited the bloody lumps of meat strips, it was too miserable.

The fate of Anqiu officials spread throughout Shandong within a day.At that time, all Shandong officials were trembling. As long as Li Kaiguo's army went in their direction, no matter whether it was a state or a county, they would all scramble to send money and materials to Li Jianguo.

This made the carriages brought by Li Kaiguo quickly run out. Later, the carriages transported were nearly 1000 miles long, and the [-] musketeers really couldn't see them. Send it back to Lingshanwei, and then come out to ask for money.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Lingshanwei, he would be entangled in affairs. This time, Cheng Yi, the newly appointed Secretary of Agriculture, gave him a [-]-word statement.Li Jianguo frowned and read word by word, only to realize that what Cheng Yi said was that the land management in Lingshanwei, Jiaozhou, and Gaomi was chaotic.

Moreover, Lingshanwei, Gaomi, and Jiaozhou are all mountainous places with little flat land.According to his observation, terraced fields can be built in many mountainous areas, but no one has done so.If the farmers can be persuaded to work hard on favorable terms, at most two years later, the grain produced will be enough to ensure that the Lingshan Guard can support an army of [-] without having to go out to buy grain.

As soon as this item came up, Li Jianguo attached great importance to it.Although he has never seen terraced fields, he has heard of terraced fields.Recently, the consumption of his army and the common people are all grains bought from other places, which cost a lot of money. In most places, the price of grains has risen because of his large-scale purchases of grains.Although natural disasters are everywhere at this time, Shandong Province is still ten times stronger than Shaanxi.

But it will be difficult to say in the future. Seeing such a statement at this time, with clear evidence and figures as evidence, Li Jianguo had to be moved.

Immediately, he summoned Cheng Yi, the secretary of agriculture, and asked him the details face to face.Cheng Yi is just a young scholar. Unlike other scholars, he likes farming since he was a child.Therefore, he has made no achievements in the Four Books and Five Classics, but has done a lot of research on farming.

If it wasn't for Li Jianguo's eclectic use of talents this time, there would be no room for him to play at all.Therefore, as soon as he took office, he traveled to all the places in the area controlled by Li Jianguo, and wrote a million-character note as soon as he came back.

In front of Li Jianguo, who has the reputation of a demon, Cheng Yi has no fear. He talked to Li Jianguo with a bright look about how to re-measure the land and how to plan and plant crops in a unified manner.What kind of food is suitable for those lands, those with high yields and those with low yields.What kind of hillside can be terraced, how to get water and so on.

He talked eloquently for three hours, and even had lunch at the Commander's Mansion.Although most of Li Jianguo couldn't understand what he was talking about, one thing was certain, this Cheng Yi was definitely a talent and he needed to use it.

In the end, Li Jianguo asked the most important question, "How much money will it cost if we implement what you just said?"

Cheng Yi immediately stretched out a slap and said loudly, "Just 500 million taels is enough."

Li Jianguo twitched facelessly, dammit, this is too expensive, 500 million taels, how much food do you have to buy?Then I thought again, what if I have money but can't buy it in the future?Or planted their own reassurance.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will give you full responsibility for these matters. But I have something to say first, the five million taels of silver can't be given to you at once, you can write a statement and list the implementation steps in detail And stages, how much silver is used in each stage, I will pay you on time according to the above."

Cheng Yi was overjoyed, he thought Li Jianguo was a martial artist, and he told him about these farming things just in case, but he didn't expect Li Jianguo to agree so readily, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying : "My lord's mind is truly unique throughout the ages. Your lord attaches great importance to farming, and Cheng Yi will not dare to disappoint you. If you can't do what you said in the report within two years, Cheng Yi should die as an apology."

Li Jianguo snorted and said, "You are worth 500 million taels of silver when you die? If your promise is not fulfilled by then, I will let you know what life is better than death, and you step down."

Cheng Yi was not afraid, and left the house with a smile on his face.Li Jianguo immediately called someone to call Ma Ying over, and asked him to send someone to investigate Cheng Yi's details.Ma Ying answered yes in a low voice, and went away quietly.

It has to be said that the work one does can change one's temperament. Originally, Ma Ying, like Guo Xiaode, was a heroic man, but looking at it now, Ma Ying has completely become a man who is used to acting in secret People, everything they do and say is a little weird.

Li Jianguo shook his head. He originally wanted Ma Ying to do intelligence work for a short time, and he would replace him when he found a suitable person.Unexpectedly, after doing this, Ma Ying fell in love with living in Yin's secrets.This surprised Li Jianguo very much, but he didn't have any objections.

He couldn't tell Ma Ying that he was worried, and in Ma Ying's intelligence army, he also placed several people in to monitor him, which was internal.In the periphery, he also secretly formed a new team to monitor Ma Ying's intelligence army. It only has the power and responsibility to report, and nothing else can interfere.

Li Jianguo's suspicion is very serious, which can be seen from his distrust of anyone, but at the same time he is also very daring to employ people, which is the most important point of his future success.

If Cheng Yi said nothing, he would not be allowed to stay in Lingshanwei. As soon as Cheng Yi left, Feng Guoyong came to him with a serious face and said, "My lord, the Tartars sent someone to see you."

Li Jianguo narrowed his eyes, which was a sign that he was going to kill someone.Feng Guoyong has been with Li Jianguo for the longest time, and he has long been familiar with this. His heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to meet and ask the details before we deal with it?"

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "Who are here?"

Feng Guoyong replied: "There are not many people, only more than 50 people. One of the leaders is the leader of Xianglan Banner, named Shuo Erhui. There is also a Han official named Geng Zhongming, who is said to be the chief soldier of the Tartars. official."

Geng Zhongming?Li Kaiguo only thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it, but it could make the Tartars the commander-in-chief. He must have been a big official in the Ming Dynasty.

But no matter who he is, as long as he surrenders to the Tartars, he is a traitor and a sinner of the nation. How can such a person Li Jianguo tolerate him? Try how powerful your body is after being strengthened again, and give your soldiers a national education lesson by the way.
