Xiao Yu is not a simple-minded person. Now Li Xiang has announced the price. If he wants to complete this matter, he must show his sincerity. Li Xiang will definitely have other requirements. , if I were to give you such a big bargain for free, according to Xiao Yu's character, he wouldn't even dare to take it.

"His Highness should have something to ask for. There is no one else here. According to His Highness' past character, we should open the skylight and speak frankly."

Xiao Yu knew Li Xiang's character, and there was no need to hide many things. Now that such a big piece of pie has fallen, it would be damned if Li Xiang had no demands. Li Xiang's military talent More than political talent, but this does not mean that Li Xiang has no political aspirations.

"The chief officials are from your family, but the deputy positions are from me, and the other third is reserved for the court."

Li Xiang first stated a condition. Many officials must start running errands after taking office. Although Li Xiang has many people who can learn, these people cannot directly exercise power, mainly because they are not qualified enough.

The second is that these people do not know how to manage such a large piece of land. Let them learn from the officials in charge for a while. After three to five years, these people will be trained, whether they are rising from here or being transferred to other places. Local Li Xiang also has a number of available people in his hands.

As for the one-third left for the court, it has no meaning for Xiao Yu. If you two want to divide the entire Sichuan, how could Li Shimin be willing? If Li Shimin knew the situation here, he would have to ask for at least half of the quota. Now the reason why Li Shimin is given one third is that Li Xiang is already under great pressure.

Of course, Xiao Yu also understood that in three to five years, Li Xiang’s people would most likely replace his own family members. At that time, they might be in vain, but everything depends on how they are run. If it is run by his clan members, If they are good, Li Xiang may not replace these people. Now he has to fight to see who has the greatest ability.

Of course, Xiao Yu can disagree. If you disagree, it means you have given up this opportunity. There are many major families who want to cooperate with Li Xiang. Li Xiang can definitely cooperate with others. The reason why he is now working with Xiao Yu This is because Xiao Yu will take charge of Sichuan in the next one or two years.

"In that case, I would like to thank His Highness. Everything about this place is entirely up to Your Highness."

Xiao Yu turned it over in his mind several times and finally made this decision. If you don't listen to Li Xiang's instructions, even if you are the former prime minister, even if you have the Lanling Xiao family behind you, Li Xiang will still have a way to replace you. Okay, didn't you see that Li Xiang couldn't use the Five Surnames and Seven Visions in his hands? What's more, you are a passed-out Lanling Xiao family.

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Xiang had a smile on his face. At this time, Li Xiang also felt a drawback, that is, there were too few civil servants under his command. Although the imperial examination had begun, But this thing is in the hands of Li Shimin, and the most capable young people in the world have been won over by Li Shimin.

It would indeed be difficult to search for people in society on your own, but Li Xiang thought of another way at this time, which was to set up a volunteer school.

In this era, education is the exclusive preserve of the rich. It is impossible for the poor to have the opportunity to receive education. How can they talk about studying if they can’t even fill their stomachs? Although Li Xiang had suggested to the court to set up a number of free schools in various places, the implementation had little effect, mainly because of lack of money.

The city of Chang'an is indeed established, but many children from poor families have to work. If they don't work, they won't be able to eat, even if they provide two meals in the school, and even some other subsidy, but some adult children have to take care of some minor children. Is two meals enough?

Li Xiang is very wealthy, and he can accomplish things that the imperial court cannot accomplish. As long as you come to study in the school held by Zhi Daobao, he will not only take care of your two meals, but also give you a certain amount of money if you excel in your studies. Subsidy, this subsidy is equivalent to half a day's wages for a person.

Although temporary promotion may cause problems, over time, talents can be selected in advance. Li Xiang accepted these talents before they went to the imperial examination.

Before taking the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang could only use this method to compete with Li Shimin for talents. Fortunately, Li Shimin had not realized how terrible this method was, so Li Shimin still supported some of Li Xiang's actions. , after all, this can cultivate more talents for Datang. Li Xiang uses his own money to subsidize the entire Datang. Why wouldn't Li Shimin be willing?

That night, the whole city of Chengdu was in a panic. Many people thought that the goods might not be available until tomorrow. But when Li Xiang and Xiao Yu reached an agreement, you people were a bit of an eyesore. With the evidence that you are corrupt and perverting the law, how could Li Xiang still let you wait until dawn tomorrow? If you were asked to wait until dawn tomorrow, wouldn't it mean that you bastards would live another day? Is there another opportunity to transfer property?

So when these people were discussing how to transfer their money, the door to their home was kicked open. Many people were stepped on by Li Xiang's guards before they understood what was going on. On the ground, so many valuable things in the house have not been moved in time. Now they are all registered by the accountant. Everyone, old and young, has been thrown into the sky jail. If you want to die, we provide various tools here.

Anyway, according to Li Xiang, we are catching them all this time, and we don’t need to ask for their confessions, let alone the officials above and below them, because your officials above and below are in jail with you.

Only twenty days after Li Xiang left Chang'an City, Li Shimin received a package of memorials in the Qinzheng Palace. Yes, it was a package of memorials.

These memorials were all performed by Li Xiang. Sichuan officials sent a lot of money to the capital every year. These people were also their protective umbrella. Now that Li Xiang is taking over, it means that Li Xiang has cut off their financial path. , how can these officials be willing? Of course we have to resist.
