Great Tang Southern Emperor

Chapter 71 Countermeasures (2)

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, a voice suddenly sounded: "Don't be nervous, I will report this matter to the emperor truthfully. With the emperor's wisdom, how could he fall into such a trick?"

"Master Cen?" Li Zhen hurriedly stood up to greet her: "It's so late, why did Master come here?"

"I've heard about what happened tonight, and I'm here to relieve your worries." It was Cen Wenwen who came, and he said with a smile: "Actually, you are still too young. With the emperor's wisdom, how could you know?" To be fooled by some idiots? You underestimate the emperor too much, if he had only such a big heart, Wei Zheng would have been torn to pieces by him long ago."

"But this matter is different, so we have to be cautious." Li Zhen said with some confusion.

Li Shimin's magnanimity is indeed famous in history, but what about the score.Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case. Wei Zheng almost sprayed him to death. He was just angry at most, and he would never kill anyone.But it’s different when it comes to the succession of the throne. Don’t you see that Li Junxian, a famous general of the generation, was killed for no reason just because his nickname was Wu Niangzi? ', and Li Chunfeng personally approved the motto 'The heroine is prosperous', so Li Shimin demoted him to Huazhou, and then killed him for any crime. This guy is more wronged than Dou E)?

"It is indeed necessary to be cautious, but there is no need to panic too much." Cen Wenwen shook his head and said: "Well, you can write an apology note later and hand it along with my memorial, the emperor will understand your intentions."

"Although this kind of thing is indeed scary, you are a prince after all, and the blood of the Li family flows in your body. The southern tour, the world will return to one's heart, but it didn't say that you insisted on doing that rebellious thing. Besides, this proverb may not be a bad thing to you, because it is very clear in the proverb. If you are the holy emperor, your future The achievement is definitely greater than that of the emperor, which can earn you a lot of popular support."

Du He nodded his head when he heard it, and echoed: "It makes sense. In fact, I think it's better to deal with this kind of thing coldly. It's like the previous whale incident. The emperor didn't do anything to you. Although this time it's more serious. , but with the wiseness of the emperor, he should not believe these rumors."

"But I'm still worried." Li Zhen hesitated. After all, it was related to her future wealth and life, so she didn't dare to be careless.

Zhang Lang came up with an idea: "If your Highness is really worried, then just pollute yourself. You will have to do some stupid things in the next few days, such as increasing taxes, or trampling on farmland, or drinking and getting hangover, Mr. Cen report to the emperor."

"This matter is simple, I will write it now." Cen Wenwen smiled, and did not express any objection or anything else.Cen Wenwen was considered a representative of low officials and high abilities among the famous officials in the early Tang Dynasty (compared with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, his official position was indeed a bit small), and his emotional intelligence was also very good, not that old and stubborn.He is Li Zhen's grand tutor. Since he came to Yuezhou, his fate has been tied to Li Zhen. Li Zhenrong wins him, and Li Zhen loses. The throne, unfortunately the success fell short), naturally he will take the initiative to think for Li Zhen.

"Self-pollution? You can try this one." Li Zhen let out a long breath, and sighed: "At first I thought about using tax exemption to buy people's hearts, but now it seems that I will be thankful for not being scolded by the elders of Yuezhou."

"Compared with people's hearts, life is more important." Xue Rengui said: "The big deal is to compensate them from other places in the future. Besides, we may not increase taxes for ourselves. We can use them for public welfare. Bo Ruxiu Road or something."

"Then let's do this. I will publish the tax increase list tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Li Zhen instructed: "In addition, during this period of time, the Blood Dragon Guard and Skynet will have to work harder and strictly check the strangers from outside. In the eyes of others, it is a place where no shit is done. If there is nothing to do, no one will come here, and now that the monsoon is approaching, most of those who can come at this time have other purposes. I would rather catch the wrong one than let it go. Yes, Zhechong Prefecture and the Shibo Department should also assist in this regard."

"Your Highness, don't worry, this subordinate will definitely let the Blood Dragon Guard and Skynet strictly inspect it." Zhang Langgong said, Duan Yi has been taken down by Li Zhen, and the affairs of the Blood Dragon Guard's Lingnan Yamen are temporarily taken over by Zhang Lang. Until Li Zhen selects a suitable new head of the Blood Dragon Guard.

Fang Yiai also patted her chest and assured: "Your Highness, the Shibo Department, don't have to worry about it. The entire Yuezhou Port is being expanded. I will keep a clear count of the number of ships calling every day. When the Shibo Department is completed, control Even more rigorous, even if a mosquito passes by us, I can separate the male and female for it."

"Zhechong Mansion is a little troublesome." Xue Rengui wondered: "Zhechong Mansion's defense has not been completed yet, and the soldiers are not familiar with the environment here. A solution will be found."

"Anyway, let's work hard together." Li Zhen praised.

"Yes."

"Very good, then let's move on to the next topic." Li Zhen looked at Xue Rengui: "It just so happens that Rengui is back, tell us about the battle on Sanyue Mountain, the battle results should have been calculated, right?"

"Yes, in the battle of March Mountain, we annihilated 620 of the [-] assault troops, captured [-] people, and the rest were all missing." Speaking of the war, Xue Rengui suddenly regained his spirits and said hastily: "Among them, [-] people were wiped out by the guards, and the rest were wiped out by the youth army."

Li Zhen nodded in satisfaction; "Yes, how about the casualties on our side?"

"Our side has a total of 410 casualties, 230 and 36 dead, 140 seriously injured or disabled, and 29 and 36 lightly injured. Among the dead, there were 98 guards, 47 from the youth army, and 300 from the guards. 300 people were seriously injured, the Junior Army was not seriously injured, [-] people were lightly injured, the guards were slightly injured, and the Junior Army was lightly injured [-]. Generally speaking, the Junior Army was better in this battle, and this time we lost." In the last sentence, Xue Rengui said: It came out of his throat, he really didn't want to say this, and he was really depressed. His [-] army faced the same number of enemies, and the casualties were a little more than three to one.The Boys' Army only dispatched [-] people this time, and the [-] people faced [-] enemies, but they fought a [-]-[-] ratio.The gap is too big, even if Xue Rengui is shameless, with such a record, he has no shame to say that he won.

Geng Hu chuckled and said, "You still have some reputation, I thought you would deny it."

"Nonsense, it's not that I, Xue Rengui, have never lost a battle. Didn't I lose once? Is there anything you dare not admit?" It's nothing, if you can keep winning, I don't believe I can't win you."

"Do you think we can't do it?" Geng Hu was not afraid of him, so he went back directly: "I will put my words here today, as long as His Highness does not disband the Youth Army, as long as your guards dare to fight us If we compare, then we will definitely win—no matter what aspect of the comparison, this is the case.”

"Hahaha" Seeing the two fighting like children, everyone laughed.

"Don't quarrel, you two fought very well. Not only did you eliminate Feng Gai, but you also fought the prestige of our Yue Palace. You have earned enough face for this king, and you should be rewarded." After laughing, Li Zhen began to conclude: "Especially the young army, it was only the first time they entered the battlefield that they showed their sharpness. With [-] solitary troops facing [-] enemies, not only did they not retreat, but instead launched a counter-charge against the enemy, killing the enemy to death. It was defeated, and its own losses were very small, which far exceeded my expectations. I estimate that after the news spreads tomorrow, the major forces in Lingnan will change their attitudes towards us."

Du He sneered and said, "Hey, so what if we change our attitude? Are we going to let them go? We've already given them a chance, but they didn't grasp it themselves."

Fang Yiai also rejoiced and said: "These moths in Lingnan deserve to die. At that time, I was really afraid that they would take the initiative to serve His Highness. Fortunately, they didn't do so. They just waited to die."

"There is also the officialdom in Yuezhou. None of these people can escape because of such negligence of His Highness." Speaking of this, Xue Rengui also looked angry. The school captain wanted Yuezhou government to help the Yamen mobilize some grain and grass.As a result, I went two times in a row, not only did I not see a single official in charge, but I didn't even enter the yamen, which is really deceiving.As a last resort, they could only buy at a high price from the grain store. As a result, they misunderstood the military situation and were almost beheaded by Xue Rengui.

"Don't even think about running away." Li Zhen sneered, "I have already picked up the students from Wentian Shuyuan. There are a total of 390 elite talents, and all of them are first-class talents. Except for inexperience, they are perfect in every aspect. Blow up these scumbag bastards."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have experience, just practice more." Du He said indifferently: "Anyway, Your Highness, you are going to try out the new policy in Yuezhou."

This was decided before Li Zhen came. If he wanted to develop Yuezhou in a short period of time, he had to use extraordinary strategies.Therefore, based on the experience of later generations and the current national conditions, he summed up a set of governance methods that are completely different from the current ones. Even Li Shimin was amazed by its advanced nature, and Li Zhen was allowed to try it out in Yuezhou.The New Deal method almost overthrows everything in the past, which is equivalent to starting from scratch. Even if it is done for the current officials, they may not be better than the students.

"That's right, and your Highness is so extravagant." Speaking of this, Jiang Huan felt a sharp pain in his heart: "There are more than 1 students, and less than [-] were selected from it. There must be only one top talent out of dozens, and I have to say that your highness is really powerful."

"Mr. Jiang, you are a bit wrong." Fang Yiai corrected after hearing the words: "It is true that there are only 1 students in Wentian Shuyuan, and 400 students are selected out of 400. It does not seem shocking. But don't forget Now, these ten thousand students are not ordinary fools, but talents who have received elite education. It can be said that each of them is a one-in-a-million elite. From so many elites, we have selected another [-] people. [-] people are the elite among the elite, the top super talents, not to mention one in a hundred, even one in a thousand is not enough to describe their preciousness."

"That's right, that's right, it's the old man's calculation that's wrong, and it really should be calculated like this." Jiang Huan nodded again and again, and looked at Li Zhen with regret again.One out of a hundred talents, if he is in politics, he can at least be a pawn, a craftsman can be a master, and he can be a small captain in the army, but this kind of person is actually unqualified in Wentian Shuyuan. Students, what a waste.

Seeing the approval on Jiang Huan's face, Fang Yiai turned to look at Li Zhen, and said sadly: "Look, Your Highness, even your big butler is dissatisfied with you. You are not cultivating elites. You are pure waste. Talent. Who can guarantee that among those unqualified people, there are no amazing talents? There are not a few people who are late bloomers in history. Your Highness, it’s not your subordinates who say you, your selection method is really a bit I am too demanding, seeing so many children being judged as unqualified, do you know how uncomfortable I feel? My heart aches!"

Li Zhen glanced at him speechlessly: "Yi Ai, did someone tell you how exaggerated your acting skills are?"

Fang Yiai pretended to be puzzled and said: "Is there any? Everyone says that my acting skills are very good. Do you think so, Du Er?"

Du He didn't give him any face at all, and said bluntly: "Cut, I never said such a thing."

"No way, Du Er, brother for so many years, you don't even give me this face?" Fang Yiai hopped his feet funny, and looked at Du He with a heartbroken expression: "It's a pity that I still treat you as a fool." Brother, who would have thought that the two of us have known each other since we were young, but we never thought that you would be a white-eyed wolf. Rengui, tell me, how is my acting skill?"

Xue Rengui glanced at him cautiously, and said in a low voice: "The little brother told the truth, don't be angry."

"Then you better stop talking." Fang Yiai pushed him aside, and then aimed at Geng Hu: "Geng Hu, you are my old subordinate, and I was the one who discovered you from the people. Yes, you have to face me."

Geng Hu pretended to glance at Li Zhen, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Fang, I am very grateful to you for discovering me, but let's be human, he has to recognize the reality, and in front of His Highness, I can't do it either." Lying out of conscience."

Kicking Geng Hu away, Fang Yiai became even more indignant: "Bastard, I misjudged you, you"

Li Zhen was very happy watching, but she still brought the topic back: "I said, don't be funny, what do you want to do?"

"Your Highness, did you see it?" Fang Yiai was not angry when Li Zhen interrupted her, but she went directly to Li Zhen and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I can discuss something with you."

Chapter 73 Talent Allocation (2)

"Let's hear it." Seeing Fang Yi's cheap look, Li Zhen raised her eyebrows and said with a light smile, "But I don't necessarily promise to agree."

Regarding the latter sentence, Fang Yiai automatically ignored it, and just said with a smile: "Look, my position as the secretary of the city is very important, right?"

Without waiting for Li Zhen's answer, he said to himself: "Not only is taxation in charge, but there are also many things like patrolling, combating smuggling, and defending the sea area, and all of them are the top priority. It's good that Yuezhou Port has just been expanded. When Shibo is really on the right track, I can't do it even if you are exhausted. What's the situation with Shibo now? There are three or two big cats and kittens, and most of them are reckless. There are only two who can do things. , one is me, and the other is Feng Zhibao that you sent over today."

"You mean, how many more people do you want from me? Right?" Li Zhen finally understood what he was thinking, and interrupted directly: "And it would be best if all of my [-] qualified students are sent to you. ,right?"

"It's the best to send them all to me." Fang Yiai didn't even want to lose face for the sake of talents, and said with a smile: "But I also know that your highness will definitely be of great use in choosing these four hundred students, so I Not so many. The 400 people are divided into excellent and a few. I only need ten or twenty excellent ones, and the rest can be replaced by qualified ones. I am not greedy, as long as 100 people are enough. With these more than 100 people Talent, I promise to expand Yuezhou Port into the first port of Datang to accommodate a thousand cargo ships within three months, what do you think of this proposal?"

"I don't think so." Before Li Zhen could speak, Du He spoke first, and looked at Fang Yiai contemptuously, and said dissatisfiedly, "Fang Er, Fang Er, why do you think it's so beautiful? Oh , a total of [-] people, you just took away [-]% of the city. Is there such a good thing in this world? You took everyone away, what should we do? As long as your city is important, the more we Isn't the state and city important?"

"That's right, brother Yiai, your proposal is too unreasonable. You don't care about our lives at all. I'm thinking of adding a few staff officers to the army. If you take them all away, what should we do?" Xue Rengui also said. expressed his dissatisfaction.
