at the same time.
The project in Xiaodong Village, Jiangning County has been in full swing for a week.
However, it is naturally impossible for Li Xiao to really wait for Xiaodong Village to slowly start a business and become a model village. The waiting time would be too long.
The reform targets the entire Southern Zhili, not Jiangning County.
If it only targets Jiangning County, Li Xiao can get it done quickly.
Where to wait?
Of course, the industrial park in Jiangning County is definitely a breakthrough in the situation and will have a huge impact later.
Right now, we still need to coordinate the overall situation.
"Have the magistrates of all counties in Yingtian Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, and Zhenjiang Prefecture been notified?"
At this time, Li Xiao was sitting in the minister's position in the official's office and said with a smile.
"Everyone has been notified."
Jian Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, smiled and brought tea to Li Xiao personally, "Master, please rest assured. I will personally send people to each government office and ask the prefect of the government office to personally supervise this matter. There must be no mistakes.”
Li Xiao took the tea, took a sip, and said, "Yes, Master Jian, you have won my heart. When this matter is completed, I will ask the Holy Master for your credit."
Jian Yi smiled and said: "There is no need to ask for credit. At this age, I am just waiting to retire and return to my hometown. I just have no children. It is a pity in life."
There is obviously something in the words.
Jian Yi doesn't ask for gold or silver now, he just wants a son.
It has been more than three months and almost four months. He has been waiting patiently and has not seen Li Xiaoti's incident, so he is extremely anxious.
After all, he was old and couldn't wait any longer.
Li Xiao laughed and said, "You old fox, can our master treat you badly?"
With that said, Li Xiao took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and handed it over, "Swallow it with water once a day."
Seeing this, Jian Yi was overjoyed and said: "In this way, I can be promoted to an official position."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "I can't do it for the time being, I just need to recuperate my body. You need to recuperate your body bones first."
What Li Xiao gave me was some medicine to regulate the body.
When things are done, he will use golden needles on Jian Yi's acupuncture points to help him regain his strength and accomplish great things.
"Okay, the Imperial Master is right, you need to recuperate your body first."
Jian Yi carefully put the elixir into his chest, for fear of losing it.
"Okay, since you have informed me, I will leave first."
Li Xiao nodded slightly and then left.
"National Master, walk slowly!"
Jian Yi saw him off in person, then returned to the house and carefully studied the magical elixir.
In the following time, Li Xiao visited various yamen as usual.
Continue to say a few nice words to a group of more upright officials to win over their feelings.
It is worth mentioning that although the eight officials appointed by Li Xiao were lacking in positions, they did bring a lot of information to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao already has some dirty information inside each of the six yamen. As long as anyone dares not to listen to him, he can use this dirty information to govern them.
In addition, Yu Shi, who was promoted by the Ministry of Accounts himself, also provided himself with a particularly important piece of information.
That is, many powerful families already have a lot of land, but it is not visible on the surface. They need to dig deep to find and organize it.
With this first-hand information, Li Xiao can deal with them.
In order to control these landlords, Zhu Yuanzhang took great pains to equalize land rights.
He stipulated that according to the number of people in the family, the land would be given to them.
It turns out that those with small land and large population can cultivate the ownerless land by themselves. In short, they must be equalized. If they occupy too much land, they will be punished.
But there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
These lands are not in the name of the landlords. They have long been dispersed and spread to many people, many of whom are famous scholars and do not even have to pay taxes.
It is not an easy task to sort out to whom the land has been distributed by these large households. Yu Shi, the director of the Department of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs, has spent a lot of effort to do it.
"Yu Shi is a good person. After knowing that I saved his life, he was grateful and repaid me. That's good."
Li Xiao thought like this and planned to promote Yu Shi.
After visiting the Yamen.
Li Xiao went to the Liyuan and listened to music all afternoon.
Sitting in the best private room, shouting "Hello" from time to time, and rewarding the actors with dozens of taels of silver, it was so happy.
"Thank you sir"
After the girl who played Wang Zhaojun received Li Xiao's reward of 100 taels of silver, she looked at Li Xiao tenderly, with a flirtatious look on her face and a look of awe in her eyes.
"Master, would you like Xiao Lin to come over and accompany you?"
Seeing that Li Xiao was so generous and must be a big customer, the shopkeeper of the Liyuan rubbed his hands and said, hoping that Li Xiao would come here often.
"Come up and peel a pear for me."
Li Xiao said while lying on the recliner.
After a while, Miss Lin, who played Wang Zhaojun, got up and went to the private room upstairs. She peeled the pear for Li Xiao with her own hands and handed it to Li Xiao's hand.
As soon as I took a bite of pear, a system warning sounded in my ears.
【Ding! You haven't seen your beloved lady in three months, and you are looking carefree and happy outside. 5,000 sweet points will be deducted. Please pay attention. 】
【Ding! If you fail to meet your beloved lady in time, one thousand points will be deducted every day, which will gradually increase. 】
[Current points: 12.2 million points. 】
Li Xiao: "????"
Li Xiaozheng said he was bored and wanted to tease the little girl, but the system played this trick on him and immediately asked the little girl to retreat.
"No, it seems like I'd better look for an opportunity to go back and see my wife in case all the points are deducted."
With this in mind, Li Xiao planned to take the train and secretly go back after tomorrow's meeting.
Give Ningyun a big surprise.
"Brother-in-law, how are you doing?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Li Xiao's ears, which startled Li Xiao. He turned around and saw that it was Zhu Gaosui.
It turned out that Zhu Gaosui had come to the Liyuan unknowingly and found Li Xiao, but he did not show up at the first time, but to see if his brother-in-law had molested the girl.
Although with his current status as brother-in-law, it doesn't matter if he takes a concubine, but Zhu Gaosui naturally hopes that Li Xiao can devote himself to his sister.
Although he has several wives, he still hopes that Li Xiao can be single-minded. A bit of a double standard.
Just now I saw that my brother-in-law only asked the good-looking girl to sell him a pear and then sent him away. I couldn't help but express my recognition and admiration for my brother-in-law's sincerity.
"High Tunnel, why didn't you say hello when you came, so that I could welcome you!"
Li Xiao said angrily.
"Brother-in-law, isn't this a surprise for you?"
Zhu Gaosui smiled, still looking so cunning.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Li Xiao patted Gao Tun on the shoulder, "Gao Tun, you are tanned. It seems that you have suffered a lot in Japan. By the way, how is the situation in Japan?"
Then, Zhu Gaosui and the others listened to a play in the opera garden, and then he told Li Xiao what happened in Japan.
Nowadays, the Japanese country is no longer called the Japanese country, but is called Donghai Mansion. All the major families in it are actually warlords, and they have all been wiped out.
The rest is to transform it into the appearance of the Ming Dynasty. The disobedient people inside should be killed and buried. In addition, some common people were moved over, and five thousand scholars were sent to serve as officials and masters, teach Chinese language, and change the Chinese system. It must have taken less than ten years to completely become Chinese.
"Okay. It's finally gone."
Li Xiao sighed deeply. There was no big disturbance and he just won it so easily.
Too simple, too easy
Fighting against the Japanese was much easier than fighting against the Oara.
The Japanese country is surrounded by the sea, and these people have no place to run if they want to.
But Wala can't beat them. Those people who are good at riding just run away on horseback. They are not on the same level at all.
It seems that choosing this time point to conquer the world should be the simple mode, right?
In a few hundred years it will be almost impossible.
The Ming Dynasty is now the most powerful empire in the world.
Coupled with my appearance and current authority, if we can't occupy more land, it will be such a waste.
Li Xiao thought so in his heart.
"Brother-in-law, if you need any help now, please feel free to ask."
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "This time, I have brought all the elite members of the Peking Jinyi Guard to lurk in secret to work for you."
Li Xiao was surprised and said: "You have brought all the elite Jinyiwei here? That's great, it is like adding more power to a tiger. Now I have taken over Nanjing's Jinyiwei, plus the Jinyiwei from Peiping, I have two Jinyiwei in my hands. In this way, Then we can accomplish this matter through light and darkness."
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, if you need anything from me, just ask."
Li Xiaodao: "Since you are here, I won't be polite. There is an organization called Mr. Liang here. It should be the remnants of Lan Yu who are making trouble here. If I guess correctly, they assassinated the emperor's grandfather and father. The same group of people also robbed the tax money. This group of people is dormant here now. You can go and investigate secretly and help me find this group of people."
Zhu Gaosui said: "What? If we don't look for him with the remnants of Lan Yu, how dare he come out to make trouble? Brother-in-law, don't worry about this, I will definitely find this person."
Li Xiao nodded: "Thank you."
Zhu Gaosui said: "By the way, when I came here this time, my father also told me something. That Song Yingxing developed the telegraph and applied to the Supreme Emperor for a big project, which is a power station, costing 10 million taels of silver."
Li Xiao already knew about this matter, and Ningyun told him through telepathy.
After learning the news, Li Xiao was also overjoyed.
Song Yingxing was able to apply for such a huge project.
What does this mean? It means that now everything does not need to be done by oneself, and it is beginning to develop according to its own rules.
And Zhu Yuanzhang also began to pay attention to the development of science and technology.
Li Xiao nodded: "I already know about this."
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "My father said that this power station requires a lot of labor. My father has issued an order to pardon all tenants and slaves in Nanzhili. As long as they are willing, they can go to the power station to participate in the work. In this way, the tenants have If the landowner's land is no longer cultivated, brother-in-law, you can order the land to be taken back."
Li Xiao was surprised and said: "Father really considers me, this method is wonderful! Now that Father has spoken, it will be easy to handle when the time comes. There is no rush now, just wait for a while."
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, my brother, I will wait for your order to do this."
Li Xiao nodded: "Okay, Gaotun, I feel very at ease with you here."
"We, as a family, don't speak the same language."
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "Since you let your brother act in secret, I will leave first to avoid being discovered."
After saying that, Zhu Gaosui exited the room.
After a while.
Someone came to the room again.
Shuanjiang Qiushui, one of the twelve generals of Tianmen, came from outside, stood next to Li Xiao, and whispered: "Master, just now I saw King Zhao."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "The one who is looking for me, we now have another helper. I have already ordered him to check the whereabouts of Mr. Liang. You ask Liu Dakai to call back the spies who checked Mr. Liang, so they don't need to check."
"Yes, head of the family."
Qiu Shui said: "King Zhao's investigative methods are very good. His Jin Yiwei are all masters among masters. With him here, they will definitely be able to quickly find out some of Mr. Liang's clues."
Li Xiao nodded: "That's right. By the way, how about Qinglong?"
Qiu Shui said: "Commander Qinglong said that arrangements have been made. Twenty-two magistrates have secretly discussed among themselves and refused to come to the meeting convened by the head of the family due to illness. A consensus has been reached. Here is the list."
After speaking, Qiu Shui handed a list to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao waved his hand: "I won't watch anymore. I will tell Qinglong directly. I want to see everyone present at the meeting tomorrow. Even if they are tied, they must be tied directly to me. No one can be left behind."
"Yes, Qiu Shui will go right now."
Qiu Shui nodded slightly, took a few steps back with his hands behind his hands, and stood in front of the window. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
"Everything is ready, let's get down to business tomorrow."
Li Xiao clenched his fists and looked at the actors below. Nan Nan said: "Starting from tomorrow, we will really start working."
At this time, the troupe below was performing a good show.
The actor dressed up as Sun Wukong and sang: "Beat him until the monsters and monsters have nowhere to hide."
The next day, outside Fengtian Hall.
There are hundreds of tables and chairs placed here, placed in the empty square outside the temple.
The regular meeting on reform work was held for the first time.
The participants this time include the prefect and county magistrate.
Li Xiao sat at the top, waiting for the magistrates to take their seats.
There are nameplates placed on the table with the names of each county and the name of the magistrate written on them. The magistrate of each county needs to be seated separately according to their actions.
One after another, many magistrates arrived as scheduled.
In addition, those who planned to pretend to be sick and not come were also directly carried in on stretchers by the Jinyi guards.
Some people even had bandages wrapped around their wounds on the mountain, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being carried over.
On the field, many officials were worried.
Because they saw Jin Yiwei!
The Jin Yiwei had not been active in Nanjing for a long time. When they saw the Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms and holding my embroidered spring knife, everyone realized that this national master was not simple. It turned out that he had already controlled the Jin Yiwei privately! !
"Let me go. I'm sick. I'm sick. Why do you forcefully carry me here?"
"I want to take part in your investigation. You are abusing the sick."
"Ah, ah, I have a headache. I need to go back to see a doctor."
After a while, the Jinyi guards brought over a dozen people who were pretending to be sick. No matter how much these people yelled, it was of no avail.
"Master National Preceptor, all personnel have arrived."
At this time, Commander Qinglong of the Jinyi Guards walked up to Li Xiao and cupped his hands.
Li Xiao nodded slightly: "Okay, well done."
Qinglong bowed his hands and stepped back.
The surrounding ministers were dumbfounded.
They never expected that Li Xiao had actually let Jin Yiwei be used by him, but they had no idea
A chill surged from behind. If this was the case, the Imperial Master was too terrible. He had done these things unknowingly under someone's supervision. With the appearance of Jin Yiwei, could he still have a good life in the future?
At this time, Li Xiao looked at all the magistrates present and said:
"This is the first meeting of our national division, and someone actually said he was sick and couldn't come?"
"Let me tell you, my national teacher handles matters and says exactly what he said. Once the words are spoken, he must come if he comes, and he must come if he doesn't come!"
"Come here, call the doctor. I want to see whether you people are really sick or fake!"
"If you are really sick, you are lucky, but if you are just pretending to be sick,"
As soon as these words came out, the whole square fell silent.
Because they had already felt a chill from Li Xiao's body.
Li Xiao snorted and said in a deep voice: "If you are pretending to be ill, you can deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, and deceive the country's masters!"
The words fell.
Everyone was shocked! ! (End of chapter)
