Chapter three hundred and seventeen: Hedong has something to do
After the initial wild growth of Yixing Society, it is time to enter a period of stability and deep cultivation. In Li Ze's view, internal rectification also needs to be rectified. The several consecutive cases that have appeared in the past six months are already very telling. Yixingtang not only penetrated into the countryside in Yizhou, Cangzhou, Shenzhou, Dizhou and other places, but also completely controlled the power of the government. After the combination of these two, the energy is huge, but if there is a problem, the destructive power will be extremely great.
Li Ze needs to set new rules for Yixing Society. This is one of them. Secondly, Li Ze has to admit that even though he controls the eleven states now, the strongest ones are still Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou. These two places are essentially powerful, landlords and gentry masters. Although the process of measuring the land and cleaning up household workers has greatly weakened the power of these classes, Li Ze is also very clear, but I am afraid that this has reached their limit of patience.
If the string is too tight, it will break.
Next, he will inevitably usher in the most difficult period in his life. He needs to integrate all his strength and unite to deal with foreign enemies first. Only after defeating Zhang Zhongwu can he talk about other things.
Therefore, the early Yixingshe model of crazy expansion with the help of administrative power must stop.
In the next time, Li Ze must allow these areas controlled by Yixingshe to show their capabilities and strength far exceeds other places in military, political and economic terms, and transfer their basic foundation from Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou to lay a good foundation for future reforms.
Li Ze did not doubt this, because he had no doubt about Yi Xingshe's mobilization ability and his determination to concentrate on major tasks.
Yizhou took the lead and had become the leader among these five prefectures. What Li Ze wanted to do next is to reshape a Texas, an industrial center he hoped to be the most important industrial center in a short period of time.
Funds will be greatly tilted towards Texas, which is still remote.
On the way back, he had already made a plan for rebuilding Texas, and a piece of white paper was easy to paint. When Li Ze burned Texas into white ground with a fire, he really didn't think there would be such a day.
The planning book was sent back to Wuyi and handed over to Xia He. Xia He will organize manpower to judge the funds, manpower and so on that plan book will consume.
Li Ze hopes that when he returns to Wuyi, he will immediately put this major project related to his future development on the agenda.
This will definitely encounter great resistance.
But now Li Ze has the confidence to do things according to his expectations.
The knock on the door three times, and Li Mi pushed the door and entered.
"Young Master, Gao Xiangsheng is looking for a meeting!" Li Mi said.
"Please come in." Li Ze nodded.
The first contact with the imperial court started with this Gao Senjun. Of course, he is now a general of the Central Army. However, this time, his public identity was the Central Army guard of the 10,000 Shence Army led by Xue Ping.
The emperor still sent someone to monitor Xue Ping, or rather, to monitor himself.
Although Li Ze knew Gao Xiangsheng's identity, he couldn't hate this person. This was a shrewd and extremely pragmatic person. More importantly, his loyalty to the court also made Li Ze very impressed. At this time, it was not easy to find a few such people.
Even Xue Ping was hard to say that he was loyal to the court and had no considerations of his own. But Gao Xiangsheng really had never considered himself.
Li Ze knew that he was not a loyal minister, and he could even say that he was a person who was the most supreme person, but this did not prevent him from admiring creatures like loyal ministers and wanted to try his best to win over these people.
"Please sit down, General Gao!" Li Ze said with a smile: "If Mr. Xue knew that you came to me alone, I would be unhappy."
Gao Xiangsheng bowed and saw a greeting, sat down generously, and smiled and said, "Mr. Xue understands very well. I, the Central Army Guardian, have other responsibilities."
"Supervise him, or me!"
"It has both." Gao Xiangsheng said calmly: "Li Shuai naturally understands this. On average, I will send a report to Chang'an every three days. Of course, if Li Shuai minds, I will show these reports to Li Shuai first."
Li Ze laughed: "Then you, the general of the prison guard, have been neglected."
"Jie Shuai, if there are any words that are not conducive to you, I don't think I would send them out with such semi-public documents!" Gao Xiangsheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"You, you!" Li Ze pointed to the other party and smiled, "That is, I can tolerate you, that is, Xue Ping has a good temperament. If someone else doesn't find a chance to kill you, that would be a strange thing."
"I'm useful to Li Shuai. How could a person like Li Shuai solve the problem by simply killing people?" Gao Xiangsheng flattered quietly.
"You can't say it, this is really a one-time solution." Li Ze smiled and said, "Tell me, what a great thing is coming to find me? Anyway, as soon as I see you, I know something will happen."
"It's indeed a big deal!" Gao Xiangsheng's smile was curled, "There is a bit unstable in the Hedong area."
Li Ze was stunned. Hedong was unstable, which was not a good thing for him. If something went wrong with Hedong, it meant that he would be under pressure from Zhang Zhongwu alone in the future.
"What happened to Gao Pian?" He keenly realized that there must be something wrong with Gao Pian, otherwise, with Gao Pian's ability, such a thing would definitely not have happened.
"I just received the news. Gao Pian was seriously ill." Gao Xiangsheng sighed: "Gao Pian himself also knows that this matter is very important. Hedong Jie Town hides this matter closely, but there is no airtight wall in this world. Now I know, I am afraid that the big people in Hedong already know it."
"How far?" Li Ze's mood suddenly became heavy. Gao Pian under Hedong controlled nearly 60,000 soldiers, which was the largest force of the imperial court in the north. However, these 60,000 soldiers were affiliated with the Tianbing Army, Datong Army, Hengye Army, Kelan Army, Yunzhong Guard and Xinzhou, Daizhou and Lanzhou. Gao Pian, the town was not like Li Ze's father, who was fighting with one sword and one shot. The generals under his command were all his own people. Gao Pian was airborne by the court. He could integrate these troops and horses together, all relying on Gao Pian's personal qualifications and personal charm. With him, Hedong was Hedong of the court. Without Gao Pian, he was afraid that Hedong would immediately turn into a mess.
"It's not clear yet, but I'm afraid it's not very good!" Gao Xiangsheng said: "I have sent someone here. I hope I can bring back the news as soon as possible."
Li Ze walked around the house several times in a irritable manner before he stood still, "Since you have received the news, I'm afraid Zhang Zhongwu will get the same news. Zhang Zhongwu's method of testing Hedong will be very simple. He just needs to speed up and increase the scale of transferring the main force from Hedong toward our Wuwei. Once Gao Pian does not respond in time, he can verify this matter."
Gao Xiangsheng nodded.
"Can it be Gao Pian who put a trap on Zhang Zhongwu?" Li Ze had a sudden whim.
Gao Xiangsheng was stunned and after a while he realized: "This, how is this possible?"
Li Ze just said this, and when he heard Gao Xiangsheng's rebuttal, he was also deflated: "It is indeed unlikely. In the case of Hedong, people's hearts will be dispersed and it will be difficult to gather them together. No one dares to joke about this. It seems that the battle between us and Zhang Zhongwu is going to be advanced."
"It is indeed this possibility. If Gao Pian is not available in Hedong, it will no longer be a threat from Zhang Zhongwu. He can beat and pull, and maybe some people want to rely on him to gain wealth and prosperity." Gao Xiangsheng sighed. "Li Shuai, I am so anxious to come to you, so I hope you can prepare early."
"You should work harder in Hedong!" After a little anxious at the beginning, Li Ze calmed down again. The deterioration of external forms was something he could not control, and he could only deal with the moves. Now, what is more important is of course to integrate the internal parts of Wuwei.
After the merger of the three towns, it will take some time to form a joint force. Now, this expected time area will obviously be shortened due to Gao Pian.
"Why did something really happen to Gao Pian? You have to try your best to win over or stabilize a group of people. What Zhang Zhongwu can give, I can also give Wuwei, the court can give, and we can give more. At least we must let some of them stay neutral before the winner is decided." Li Ze thought for a while and said, "My father also has some friends in Hedong, and I will also make efforts when I look back."
"There is only this now." Gao Xiangsheng said. "Ship Li, if there is no other order, I will go on and make arrangements."
"Wait a minute, I really have something to look for you." Li Ze waved his hand and signaled Gao Xiangsheng to be calm.
"I wonder what Li Shuai needs me to do?" Gao Xiangsheng was a little surprised.
"Sihai Trading." Li Ze spit out four words. "You have always had contact with them, and your friendship is quite good. In the past, I was just a short and poor person, and they could come to me to invest with a unique eye. Now I am a Yifangjie Town, the General of Qianniu Guard, and the General of the Northland Marines. Is the value of this investment even greater?"
Listening to Li Ze's joke, Gao Xiangchang couldn't help laughing even though he was full of thoughts: "Li Shuai, just because you are at your peak now, they will be more cautious!"
"I'm afraid I will turn against you?" Li Ze said.
Gao Xiangsheng nodded: "Is Li Shuai short of money again?"
"I was short of money at any time, but I never had it so short." Li Ze said: "I need a big investment."
Gao Xiangsheng pondered: "Li Shuai, the reason why Sihai Trade is hesitant now is that the implementation of a series of policies of Li Shuai has aroused the alertness of these people. They believe that Li Shuai's investment value is rapidly decreasing due to the implementation of these policies. Now many people even think that you are very likely to become their gravedigger. At this time, it is probably difficult to get their large investment."
"You are talking about some people!" Li Ze smiled: "That means that some people still think they can support me, right? The people in the four seas trade have different interests. With General Gao's ability, it is not difficult to pry a gap."
