The lives of ordinary people are indeed better.

But it's still very hard.

Li Ze met many families like Ba Ye along the way.

What made Li Ze happy was that he saw the hope for the future in these people's eyes. That longing is undoubtedly the most precious. As long as the hope is still there, people will have the motivation to fight and will work hard for a happy life in hope.

Mr. Ba is in his early sixties, but he looks very energetic. This is what supports him. It is always the most simple and innocent wish of the Chinese. It is precisely because of the efforts of generations that a wealthy and powerful Great China has been created.

"You insisted on selling land and other production materials through loans instead of free distribution like the North, but now it seems right." Li Ze said.

Zhang Xundao: "It's just a policy for every place. The policies you implemented in the North at that time were in line with the actual situation of the North at that time. In Shandong, I think doing so will stimulate the people's motivation."

"Yes, people like Ba Ye will live longer because of your policy." Li Ze smiled and said, "How popular are the schools and clinics?"

"The National Medical Clinic has been opened to the town level to ensure that all people can afford to see a doctor and take medicine." Zhang Xun said: "But the school is more difficult. People here are not so keen on reading and literacy. The poorer the family, the more this is. It is even more difficult to let girls go to school. Now we can only take some compulsory measures, but this has caused considerable dissatisfaction. Fortunately, the government has done a good job in other aspects and suppressed these dissatisfaction voices."

"This is normal. The richer the place, the more important it is to pay attention to education." Li Ze said: "So at the beginning, we must implement some mandatory measures. Everyone's life will eventually get better and better, but the age of the children does not wait for anyone."

"When Shandong's financial resources have increased, I will increase more funding in this area and increase my strength in this area." Zhang Xundao. "I have really been unable to take care of it in the past two years."

"The rice can only be eaten one bite at a time, and the road can only be taken step by step. What should be done is the business of your local government. The court will only issue some macro-guiding opinions. As you said before, if each place is unchanged and you will be forced to copy it, you may not adapt to the environment and do good things in a twisted manner."

"Lee Sang-young-ming!"

Li Ze looked at Zhang Xun and smiled and said, "When you were with me before, you never said you were wise or not, but now you have changed a lot."

Zhang Xun also smiled and said, "In the past, I was Li Xiang's personal secretary and was considered a private official. Now I am the governor of Shandong. Naturally, there is some change from before, but my heart for Li Xiang is consistent."

Li Ze laughed.

He stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, and the heat immediately rushed over. The inn he was in now is the largest inn in Gaomi. It covers several acres, with a restaurant in front and an inn in the middle. The core of the inn is the core of the inn. There are nearly twenty good horses in the horse shed in the backyard, which is obvious at first glance.

Now, the entire inn is naturally covered by Li Ze and his subordinates.

"The post station was set up outside the county town, so that the messenger could not be affected by the closure of the city at night, and it would be more convenient when there were urgent tasks." Zhang Xun walked to Li Ze and said, "I never thought that after changing the business strategy, the outside world would flourish. With the post station, many businesses have also begun to build many shops here, and the land prices have also risen continuously. This place was originally a wasteland that was not suitable for growing crops, but now the land price is more valuable than the best fertile land. One acre of land is worth hundreds of silver dollars."

"This is the joint effect of business." Li Ze said. "When will that Zhang Guo arrive?"

"I have sent someone back and call him. When we arrive at Jiaozhou Port, he should be able to arrive."

"Very good. This person can think of these things. It's amazing. When I see him, if it's not bad, can you bear to give up your love? Give me this general?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

"It is my honor to Mr. Zhang, who is my favorite of Li Xiang to be interested in the people in Shandong. Is Li Xiang preparing to promote this station system nationwide?" Zhang Xundao.

Li Ze nodded: "Although the entire inn system in Beidi is complete now, the financial investment is indeed a lot every year. If the inn system can not only complete its own tasks well, but also generate income, it will naturally be excellent. Moreover, such a station system is also the best in all aspects of intelligence collection. I think Tian Bo will be interested."

Because Zhang Xun was a person who came out from Li Ze, Li Ze had no cover for his words.

After hearing this, Zhang Xun was silent for a moment, but said, "Li Xiang, I think the power of the inner guards should not be too great. They are not under supervision and can be independent in finance. Over time, they will inevitably become a big trend."

"Are you afraid that I will engage in spy politics?" Li Ze turned to look at Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound, which was equivalent to admitting in disguise.

"That is, you dare to say such things to me. Chen Wenliang won't." Li Ze smiled and said, "But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Nothing is 100% good. If we suffer from his benefits, we have to endure his disadvantages. However, I have already considered the supervision of the inner guards. I am planning to set up a special intelligence committee. In this committee, not only will there be senior officials of the inner guards, but also some other senior officials will be absorbed into the inner guards, and will be responsible for the operation and supervision of the entire inner guards."

"If this is the case, I feel it's right." Zhang Xun nodded. "Chen Wenliang is different from me. He has been very humble and has worked hard all the way to achieve today's achievements. Naturally, he is more cautious. However, I think that working in front of Li Xiang is more suitable for people like him than me."

Li Ze laughed: "Chen Wenliang takes you as an example and wants to take charge of the country in the future!"

As Chen Wenliang was talking, the door was pushed open, Chen Wenliang walked in, but he was holding a stack of documents in his hand and said, "Li Xiang, I just sent some military newspapers from Luoyang, and a few more were sent from the Right Jinwu Guard."

Li Ze reached out to take these military newspapers from Chen Wenliang, but suddenly a strange sound came from his ears. He suddenly turned around and looked out the window. Under the moonlight, two black dots were flying from a distance. Above the black shadow, a flame was tightly attached to it like a tail.

Li Ze's heart suddenly shrank.

He is very familiar with this thing.

It is a stone bomb thrown by a trencher. As for the flames flashing on it, there is only one possibility, that is, there is also a sturdy oil bomb on the stone bomb.

The goal may only be yourself.

At this moment, without thinking, he grabbed Chen Wenliang and threw Chen Wenliang out of the window. He also followed Chen Wenliang closely and turned directly into the window with a backward green onion.

"Jump down!" Li Ze shouted in the air.

Zhang Xun's reaction was not slow either. He followed Li Ze closely, supported the window with both hands, and jumped down.

Li Ze turned over in the air, landed with his feet, and then rolled under a big tree not far away. While rolling, he also grabbed Chen Wenliang and hugged him tightly and rolled backwards. Zhang Xun was alone, but he came back and had already rolled behind the big tree.

Li Ze and Zhang Xun both practice martial arts since childhood. They are strong and have skills. Chen Wenliang is not good at all. Li Ze threw him off from the second floor. When he landed on the ground, one of his legs was broken. Li Ze was held and rolled all the way, and he was confused.

During the three rolls, a huge whistling sound hit the building where Li Ze was just now. With a loud bang, the roof was penetrated, and the sound of a huge explosion came over.

Countless sparks were flying in the air, the wooden building was split into pieces, and countless wooden boards, roof beams, and rafters were flying in the air with sparks. Li Ze dragged Chen Wenliang to continue back, retreating to the wall, and then stopped.

This is a well-planned assassination, and there will never be only two stone bullets. If the Tang Dynasty is using the most advanced stone trencher, then a second round of attacks will come in between three breaths.

There was a sudden chaos in the inn.

Countless guards rushed in from outside, followed by the sound of horse hooves, and a group of people rushed out of the inn and rushed towards the direction of the stone bullet.

The range of the trencher can be estimated, and the direction can be determined. The approximate range of the assassin is within four hundred steps of the inn.

"Suan Li, Suan Li!" Li Peng rushed to the front in panic. Seeing the collapsed two-story building, he felt that the sky was about to collapse.

"I'm here!" Li Ze slowly walked out of the shadow under the wall.

Dozens of guards rushed up, spreading their shields in their hands, covering Li Ze and the other two tightly. A guard carried Chen Qiliang on his back, and the group quickly moved towards the open land.

A howling sound came from the air again, and two stone bullets flew over with their fire tails, hitting the small building again, completely destroying the remaining broken walls of the small building.

At this time, Li Ze had already retreated to the spacious dam of the backyard under the protection of the guards. More guards rushed over continuously, and the sound of alarm bells also rang on the Gaomi City Tower.

There is no third round.

When the Assassins launched the second round of attacks, their positions were completely locked.

"Good means!" Li Ze's face was as heavy as water.
Chapter completed!
