Of course, Gu Han understood what Li Ze meant by killing the other party with money.

With money, there will naturally be better equipment, more abundant food and salary, and the potential for war will naturally be greater. In fact, Li Ze has almost done it now. Among the forces he has seen in all walks of life and experiences, no local force can attach so much importance to people's livelihood, develop the economy like Li Ze, and try his best to make the people rich.

In fact, this is a virtuous cycle. When the people have money, they will naturally receive more taxes. The people's centripetal force and cohesion will naturally be stronger. Don't the leaders of other forces understand this truth?

Of course not. No one is stupid, no one can understand this, and no one doesn't want to be a wise monarch or saint who can be praised by everyone. But the problem is, once combined with reality, things are not that simple.

As the saying goes, everyone can see the problem, but there are too few people who can solve the problem.

Li Ze is the one who solved this problem better, so he now has the meaning of being unique.

The door sounded lightly, Gongsun Changming walked in with a stack of text scrolls, bowed to Li Ze, and then sat down on the sofa opposite the two of them, stared at Gu Han for a while, and said, "You are holding Jin Mantang's recommendation letter in your hand, why don't you come to Li Xiang's house to find Li Xiang?"

"Oh?" Li Ze became interested, "Do you have a letter of recommendation from Mr. Jin?"

It seems that the other party had copied his belongings in the inn clearly, and Gu Han felt a little unhappy.

"Famous fame and reputation can be obtained from the right time, how can I ask for it?" He said: "Although Mr. Jin said that I would definitely get a good position when I came to Wuyi with his letter of recommendation, since the imperial examination was launched, I naturally wanted to rely on my own ability."

"Yes, it's a person with personality." Li Ze smiled and took the copy of the text from Gongsun Changming. The top copy was Jin Mantang's recommendation letter. "Don't get me wrong, because you came from Jiangnan and they don't know your relationship with Gong Jin, so they searched your salute. You must understand a lot in the current situation, and the form is relatively complicated, so you have to be careful."

Li Ze actually explained to him personally, and Gu Han felt a lot more comfortable in his heart and bowed, "The grass people understand."

Li Ze reached out and pulled it next to the seat, and immediately walked in.

"Prepare tea." Li Ze ordered, then lowered his head to look at the letter of recommendation in his hand.

This Gu Han is really not an ordinary person.

Gu Han's family is a rich man in Yangzhou. His family is in silk business, so he met Jin Mantang. After Gu Han was twenty years old, he rode alone and traveled around the world alone. It took more than ten years to travel, and his footprints were almost all over the Tang Dynasty. In the letter of recommendation, Jin Mantang actually said that he had even been to the Western Regions, which made Li Ze look at him with admiration.

In this era, traveling is not about traveling. It is really an extremely risky action. The chance of dying silently outside is much higher than the chance of being able to come back safely.

"It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading books." Li Ze looked up at him and nodded with a smile: "Not only have I been to the Northeast, but also to the Western Regions. It's amazing."

"It's just a lucky person to survive." Gu Han said withdrew.

The guard brought in the tea, Li Ze signaled the other party to drink tea, and he lowered his head to continue reading the book of recommendation. Jin Mantang had a very high opinion of this person, believing that if Li Ze could accept him, he would definitely become a loyal minister in the future.

Li Ze agreed with this in his heart, and there was no need for Jin Mantang to guarantee it. He put down the recommendation book and took out a stack of things from below. He was stunned. It was actually a thick stack of maps, and he picked up one at random. Not only were there mountains, rivers, roads and bridges on it, but even the towns were marked clearly.

"I didn't expect you to make maps?" Li Ze looked at the thick stack of maps in his hand in surprise, especially those in the Western Regions. For him now, he really needs them very much.

Originally, the Tang Dynasty had a detailed map of the Western Regions, but in the past twenty years of chaos, almost most of the things were destroyed by the war. Yuan Chang, Li Hai and Tang Ji went west. Although Tang Ji had lived there, so many years had passed after all. Tang Ji was just a warrior, and he was very familiar with military centers, but he was afraid he was unfamiliar with other places. This trip to the Western Regions was basically equivalent to crossing the river by feeling the stones, but with this map, it was very different.

"I learned it when I was studying in my early years." Gu Han nodded.

Seeing that the scale was clearly marked on the map, Li Ze was extremely happy. Most of the maps of this era were drawn casually, and there was no standard proportion at all, which led to frequent big problems and misleading big things. It was not until Li Ze took power that the entire drawing became standardized, and he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to re-draw the entire map under Wuwei. Now, when Tian Bo and Tuhu were infiltrating other places, one of the most important tasks was to draw an accurate map of Wuwei standard.

"Can you give it to me?" Li Ze asked with a smile after Yangyang's map.

"This is meant to be dedicated to Li Xiang." Gu Han said helplessly, you have got it, and asked me if I can give it to you. Isn't this fart when taking off my pants, and Is this a waste of time?

"That's great, Mr. Gongsun, I have to remember Gu Han for this matter." Li Ze said excitedly.

"Of course I have made merit." Gongsun Changming smiled with his beard.

"Why haven't Secretary Zhang come yet?" Li Ze glanced at the hourglass on the desk and asked.

"Today, we have officially reviewed the papers. Zhang Shangshu might have seen good articles, so he couldn't extricate himself from it." Gongsun Changming teased: "He is that kind of person."

Gu Han felt a little upset. Needless to say, Li Ze, Gongsun Changming and Zhang Hui were both people in the core circle. Jin Mantang once told him that Li Ze was the main one, Zhang Hui was taking a bright path, while Gongsun Changming took a dark path. Both of them were the ones who were the ones who were most trusted by Li Ze. It can be said that these three people are now moving towards the Zhenzhou court.

Others can be summarized as thugs and helpers.

In other words, the one who wants to meet me today is actually the number one, two or three persons of the Zhenzhou court.

"Then let's wait." Li Ze looked at Gu Han and said, "Gu Han, you have tea first. I think it won't take long for Shangshu Zhang to come."

"Thank you Li Xiang!" Gu Han picked up the tea brought in by the guards, took a sip, but his stomach started to growl. He glanced at Li Ze awkwardly.

Li Ze suddenly realized, "You haven't had supper yet?"

Gu Han shook his head. As soon as he arrived at the inn, he was arrested by the public and sent it here. Then no one paid attention to him until Li Ze and the others came in.

Li Ze smiled and called in, gave a few instructions, and in a moment, two plates of exquisite desserts were brought in and placed beside Gu Han.

"First eat some snacks with tea. When Mr. Zhang comes, let's have a good talk together." Li Ze pointed to the snacks on the table and said.

After Li Ze said this, although his stomach was still screaming, Gu Han couldn't eat it anymore. He held a piece of snack in his hand and looked at Li Ze with guilt and asked, "I don't know what Li Xiang wants to talk to me, so he has to wait for Secretary Zhang to come?"

Li Ze nodded: "How do you think your strategy is written this time?"

"It's okay!" Gu Han was not humble at all.

"But do you know that the views you expressed in the strategy theory are completely different from those of the current Wuwei, oh, it is wrong. It is the mainstream opinion of the Zhenzhou court?" Li Ze asked back.

"It is precisely because of this that I have written this policy." Gu Han simply put down the snacks in his hand and looked at Li Ze and said, "Li Xiang, if those mainstream views are also yours, I think you are wrong. This will bring absolute obstacles to your great cause of unification."

Looking at Gu Han who was obviously a little excited, Li Ze waved his hand: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, eat first, and then debate with us when you are full. To be honest, your point of view in the policy discussion is the first time I heard opposition, which is definitely eye-catching. No matter what the final result is, you provide another point of view to examine our previous point of view, which is beneficial to us. Moreover, after reading your policy discussion, I was a little hesitant. You eat first and then debate with us later!"

After hearing Li Ze's words, Gu Han nodded heavily, simply picked up the plate and put it on his knees, and swallowed it with snacks and tea. He was so hungry that he had been out for a day today.

Looking at Gu Han's appearance, Li Ze admired this man's courage very much. Many people were a little nervous when they saw him. There were many high-ranking officials and powerful generals, but Gu Han and the common people had such spirit and courage, and Jin Mantang dared to use him as a guarantee in the letter.

Anyway, this is a character.

Seeing Gu Han busy filling his stomach, Li Ze also lowered his head to look at the drawings in his hand. He naturally knew the large directions of the Western Regions and the East, but he was not very clear about the detailed maps drawn by Gu Han, not to mention that the places in his memory still had a lot of deviations from this era.
