In the morning, the official residence was busy, and the servants cleaned various rooms in a yard under the command of the manager.

Li Li took a break from his busy schedule and came to the site to see how the "project progress" was.

Because Zhao Mengniang and others took "maternity leave", his eldest daughter Li Ping'an and Li Anning also came to help. The two were eleven years old and began to learn from the housekeeper. At this moment, they directed a few maids to do things.

Li Li watched his daughter directing the servant to work, and was a little absent-minded.

The court's offensive against Henan is about to begin, so he has to "beat the edge drum". Although he does not bear the "output", he has to be a meat shield to "pull hatred" and go to the Yellow River to "fish".

But his mother, Wu, was about to arrive in Hanshan. As a son, he must be concerned about setting up a residence.

The army in Nanzhengling, who had already returned to the court, had his nephew Li Xin and Liang Sen's younger brother Liang Miao, who had made many military achievements, were promoted and served in Beijing and served under Xiao Si's command.

The two of them went there and their families were walking together.

Li Xin's mother Lin and his wife and children came to Beijing, while Li Li's mother Wu was approved by the little emperor (the empress dowager) to live in Hanshan.

Accompanied by Huang Gui, the Wu family had arrived in Huaiyin and the fleet was about to enter Sishui.

In this way, both the "two houses" of the Li family left Poyang, and the industries in Poyang were managed by all the managers.

There is nothing I can do. Li Xin can't stay in Poyang for the rest of her life and do nothing, otherwise Li Li, the uncle, would be poked and scolded by others.

Li Xin is not in Poyang. Although Wu's side has two children and wives to take care of him, none of his descendants will be filial in front of him. This move is contrary to "filial piety". With Li Li's current identity, it is easy to attract criticism from Qingliu.

Although this criticism is more like noise, since the little emperor (the empress dowager) takes the initiative to show kindness, Li Li is more respectful than obedient.

After all, it has been a long-standing practice to let your family live in the capital as a disguised hostage.

He was telling the managers some precautions, and he caught a glimpse of a few small heads appearing on one wall.

But his children were lying their heads. Seeing this, Li Li felt angry and funny: Climbing the wall? What should I do if I fall down?

Li Li called Li Fang, who was leading the way, but asked, "Are you so free? You have finished your homework? Your mother is coming back!"

Li Fang's eyes were erratic: "It's almost done..."

"Absolutely? How much is the difference?" Li Li saw his son's expression and knew that things were not that simple: "Your mother said more than a year ago, didn't you forget what your mother said, right?"

"No, I haven't forgotten, I've almost finished my homework..." Li Fang stammered, Li Li had no choice but to say: "You can do it yourself, anyway, you are the one who was beaten..."

Seeing the other little guys, he looked at him and asked, "Do you want to help like your brother?"

"Yeah!" Li Xin and his younger brothers and sisters nodded.

"Okay, follow your sister's arrangements and go and help, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Li Xin and her younger brother and sister were very excited: "Okay!!"

"Also, you are not allowed to climb the wall." This is what Li Li wants to say.

The little guys nodded vigorously: "I understand!"

"Hit louder, I can't hear it!"

"knew!!!"

Li Li was very satisfied with the spirit of his children, so he called Li Ping'an and Li Anning and asked them to take their younger brothers and sisters to work (just be meaningful).

He hopes that his children will play together regardless of legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate ties, and when they grow up, they will not expect their brothers and brothers to be respectful, and at least they will not become enemies and plot against each other.

If that is the case, no amount of money you have saved will be enough to save.

The former Yuliang official who made his name, Tao Kan, a famous official in the Jin Dynasty, was from Poyang. As a poor scholar, he became an important official in charge of the country when the power of the gentry was at its peak.

The court was honored as the general and was given the honor of praise and unnamedness and swords and shoes to the palace, but Tao Kan expressed his resolute resignation.

But the education of his sons was not very good. After his death, the sons had internal conflicts.

They even killed each other in order to compete for their family property, and were taken advantage of by outsiders to dismember the Tao family's forces.

Although the Tao family is still a local clan, it has lost the possibility of leaping into a gentry. Among the descendants, Tao Yuanming is famous.

Li Li was in charge of the affairs of less than a few generations later, and he wanted to have family affection between the children of the legitimate and illegitimate children, and to take care of each other after they became their own families in the future.

......

In the northwest of Yanzhou, Juyezawa (Onozawa), the dock at the transportation port at the entrance of Ze, a large number of ships lined up to moor.

On the shore are tents, with flags waving and crowded.

Next to the military camp and next to the reed marsh, Li Li, who was passing by Yanzhou, was fishing and chatting with Yanzhou Governor Liang Sen.

"Have you cleaned up your tails?" Li Li asked, operating the fishing car in his hand, and constantly retracting the fake frog made of fish maws to make it swim back and forth on the water.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Liang Sen replied, operating the fishing car to collect the fish maw and put the fake frogs.

Li Li was relieved when he heard the other party say this.

Yanzhou is the northern gate of Xuzhou, located in the upper reaches of the Si River. If the troops in Xuzhou are invading north, the baggage will inevitably be carried by ships. They will go north through the Si River, near Gaoping, enter Duhuangonggou, and then enter Juyeze.

Then enter the Yellow River from the north of Juyeze.

Or you can enter the Hei River near Gaoping, go west, enter the Nanji River, and go west, and you can reach the near Yuzhou, northern Qi State.

Therefore, Yanzhou is a very important place. Li Li asked Liang Sen to take charge here and took on many responsibilities. One of them was to indulge merchants to do business with merchants in Qi State, which was similar to "smuggling".

All kinds of products produced and resold by Xuzhou, as well as carefully forged copper coins and liquor, entered Qi through Yanzhou.

At the same time, the merchants of Liang State also exchanged a large amount of grain and other supplies from the merchants of Qi State.

Such a transaction is carried out in the endless Kasunozawa.

The Liang Army Fortress, which guards the entrance of Huangong Gul, turned a blind eye to the frequent civil fleets.

The local chief of a major border town is engaged in business with the enemy country. Although there is a reason for this kind of behavior, Liang Sen will be unlucky if he is taken to the table to talk about it.

That's why Li Li asked this question.

A splash of water suddenly exploded on the water surface. It was a fake frog attack. When Li Li saw the fishing rod nodding suddenly, he immediately raised the rod, tweaked the fishing roller to pull the line, and pulled the things in the water up.

Sure enough, a black bird weighed about five pounds when I pulled it.

Liang Sen also gained something, and he also pulled a black bird, which was slightly larger than the one Li Li caught.

"This place is good, with many prey and many fish." Li Li sighed sincerely, and Liang Sen smiled: "So it is not surprising that folk fishermen and hunters come here to hunt and frequently enter and exit."

"Hoho, you are very good at talking." Li Li smiled, and Liang Sen also smiled.

After smiling for a while, Liang Sen saw that there was no one around and his entourage waiting in the distance, put away his smile and asked, "This time, are the officials confident of capturing Henan?"

Li Li corrected: "It's not a conquering, it's a regaining, it's a regaining of his own things from others. This is a term that involves the truth and cannot be forgotten."

"Yes, recovery is recovery." Liang Sen nodded, "How much do you think is the chance of winning?"

"It's difficult because Qi State's strength is still there, and they are Maduo. The field battles are strong, so the government army will fight very hard."

"Then...what if you really recover Henan, Qingzhou, and wrap Xuzhou up?"

Liang Sen's question pointed to the point, and Li Li looked at the other party: "What are you worried about doing when something that is destined to be impossible?"

Liang Sen didn't believe that without Xuzhou's army participating in the war, the court could calmly recover Henan and even Qingzhou, and could not include the real "region south of the Yellow River" under control.

But he still wanted to ask: "Qi Jun still has strength?"

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. They just lose in our hands, which does not mean that they become cowards that anyone can bully." Li Li prepared the counter bait and threw it out.

"Hebei is a fertile land in the world, with a large population and abundant resources. The population of a county can have 100,000 households. This is just a registered household registration in the government, not a hidden household."

"In contrast, it is rare for a county in Liang State to register more than ten thousand households."

"The State of Qi still has a place of union, with many war horses and countless brave men, so they have a strong family and can afford to lose."

"For example, we didn't make a fortune back then and gambled in the fish market. If we lost thirty or fifty cents, we would feel distressed for a long time, but Huang Sanlang lost thirty or fifty cents in succession, so why would he take it seriously?"

Li Li used his wife and brother as an analogy, but the contrast was strong. Liang Sen knew that Li Li had various ways to inquire about some things about Qi. After hearing the other party said this, he felt relieved.

He had no gratitude to the court because he was born and died with Li Li, and he was today.

Therefore, when I learned that the Xuzhou Army was just playing the edge drum as a side division this time, I was both dissatisfied and uneasy.

Liang Sen was worried that once the official army was unfavorable in the Northern Expedition, he would be forced to "put out the fire", and it would be thankless to do so. If the Qi army still had strength, even if the Xuzhou army attacked, they would have to be very energetic in confronting him.

Moreover, the Xuzhou army cannot afford to lose. Once the casualties are too large, Qi State is very likely to take the opportunity to invade Xuzhou. The green seedlings planted by military and civilians in various places will be over until the autumn harvest is good.

Li Li believes that the two countries always have to fight a war around Henan, and they will touch each other to see how much pounds the opponent is.

Since they are partial teachers, just watch from the side and do their own things well.

For example, continue to sell a large amount of spirits to Qi.

The grain exchanged from Qi State is used to brew (made) spirits, and then sold back. The grain exchanged is used to brew more spirits.

If you go back and forth like this, the profit will be quite high.

Now, Liang and Qi are about to break out in fierce battles around Henan. The situation is unstable, which has affected the "border trade". The spirits produced in the Liang State of Xuzhou are increasingly being acquired by the Qi State's profiteer.

"This group of unscrupulous merchants combine the spirits and transport them to various places for sale, making much more money than us."

Li Li hummed, looking unhappy: "Since ancient times, there are many heroes in Yanzhao. The heroes of Hebei really like this spirit. One day, we have to do this business in person..."

Liang Sen listened and suddenly said, "If the court recovered Henan, it would be better to attack Yecheng directly."

"I think the heroes of Hebei will like artillery and let them know who has the strongest force in the world and who has the greatest chance of winning."

Liang Sen looked at Li Li with a light flashing in his eyes: "Anyway, we can't be loyal ministers, and no one gives us this opportunity. We will only treat us as hunting dogs and then cook them with dead rabbits."

"Wow, is this the script of Zhong Hui Rebellion?" Li Li smiled, "I don't know who is Jiang Wei in Yecheng!"

Then he put away his smile: "Don't be anxious, as things don't come to this point, there is a flaw in the court's arrangement. Although it is inconspicuous, once the other party sees through and catches it, there will be a good show."

Liang Sen felt strange. He had carefully considered the court's arrangements and could not see any obvious flaws.
