Chapter 242 It seems like an old friend is coming (continued)

In the early morning, Li Li suddenly opened his eyes and wanted to sit up from the bed, change his clothes, and go to court.

You can't be late for court, otherwise you will be circulated by gossip: Oh! The emperor is addicted to women and abandons the government!!

I see the Great Chu State coming to an end!!

However, his arms were bound.

He finally pulled his left and right hands out of the arms of the two "protectives" of the Xue sisters, and remembered that he didn't have to go to court today.

After the death of the Grand Tutor Wang Sengbian, he went to the mansion to pay his respects to the court for three days and announced the suspension of court for condolences. Today is the first day of the suspension of court, so he does not have to "go to work".

However, Li Li was worried that he would have missed the memory and wanted to get out of bed and look at the notepad. He picked up his clothes in the dark and finally picked them up and put them on in a hurry.

When the palace maid on the night outside heard the movement, she brought a candlestick to hold the lights for the emperor. Li Li looked through the notepad in the light.

I repeatedly confirmed that I really didn’t have to go to court today, so I just looked at other contents in the notepad in the candlelight.

The Crown Prince Li Fang returned to the court, but it did not mean that Guanlong was at peace. The arrangements that should be made in the future were also intensified. Before the local tyrants came to their senses, they would have to firmly control them.

And restore order in various places as soon as possible, military and civil affairs must be done well.

This requires setting up a Xingtai in Guanzhong, and the Shangshu made a decision on the spot and "on-site office" without reporting to Kaifeng in everything.

Therefore, he transferred his nephew Li Xin from the position of governor of Liangzhou to Chang'an as the Minister of Shangtai of Guanzhong, and fully handled the "acceptance" of the former place of Zhou State.

There are several shortcuts from Hanzhong to Chang'an, one of which is the famous Ziwu Road, so Li Xin has already begun to perform his duties by taking Ziwu Road to Chang'an.

This is Li Li's chance to take the lead for his nephew. After all, the crown prince has successfully built momentum. As the crown prince's cousin, Li Xin has to bear the heavy responsibility.

As he thought about it, Li Li thought of the current situation in Guanlong.

The "reception" of the former place of Zhou State should be paid attention to strategies, and should not be too strict or too flattering, so as not to pose hidden dangers to future generations.

Therefore, we must first stabilize the ancient Zhou army, including soldiers from all over the country.

The treatment you deserve is still the same, and even pensions have to be given, so that the military families who lost their relatives in the war can at least have a settlement and can at least bury the deceased.

Secondly, appoint the main generals of the army to calm the other party's heart.

However, he was promoted openly and demoted secretly and appointed as governor. He went to Jiangnan and Hebei to take office, staying away from Guanzhong.

At the same time, he promoted his confidant commander (temporary) to stabilize the morale of his subordinates. While cutting off the influence of the chief general over the old subordinates, he also divided the relationship between the chief general and his former confidant.

This is the first stage and the most important link. Only by stabilizing the Zhou army can it be slowly adapted and become part of the Chu army.

Even if the financial burden will be increased, it must be done immediately and after doing it well, the follow-up work will be carried out.

Otherwise, if the Zhou army in each unit was disbanded and the soldiers and their families were not given a bowl of rice, and so many fighting men wanted to serve as guardian dogs for the new dynasty but failed, they would inevitably become stray dogs and then cause harm to the other side.

After all, for most soldiers, as long as food and salary are guaranteed, who will be given to fight against?

Li Li settled the accounts very clearly. If he was reluctant to spend money to "maintain stability" now, the expenses of "suppressing rebellions" in the future may be several times higher than the expenses of "maintaining stability".

As long as the Old Zhou army is stabilized, these people will be pawns who will pacify the local snake's rebellion in the future, rather than becoming pawns who will start the rebellion in the local snake.

Li Li turned a page and looked at another note: How to make Zhou Guowen successfully "reemployed"?

This involves many real-life issues.

1. For the officers and soldiers who participated in the destruction of Zhou, those who made meritorious service should be rewarded. According to convention, the court should share land for these soldiers.

If the land captured is fertile, the land will be distributed directly in the local area, which will also facilitate the court to control the grassroots level as soon as possible.

In Guanzhong and Longyou areas, a large amount of fertile land and fertile land were owned by the powerful and powerful people in the Zhou Kingdom.

The imperial court distributed land to the Chu army soldiers in Guanlong, which was equivalent to dividing the property of the civil and military officials of the Zhou Kingdom and the local tyrants. The other party would inevitably be resentful.

So how good should the Chu State give these officials to "reemploy" so that they can calm their resentment?

2. If the civil and military officials of Zhou State were given generous treatment, it would squeeze the interests of the existing official interests of Chu State. The civil and military officials of Qi State who surrendered before would also feel "benefiting one and the other".

3. If the civil and military officials of Zhou State were not given some decent and relatively generous treatment, the talents among these people would not be used by the Chu State.

4. If the State of Chu cannot win over the people of Guanlong area, it will become very difficult to use the Hexi Corridor in Longyou as a channel in the future and to manage the Western Regions, even if it is "maintaining stability" in Longyou.

To sum up, it is not easy to solve this problem. The choice of the general direction must be grasped by the king of a country.

To be fair, Li Li really wanted to make good use of the civil and military officials of the Zhou State. After all, in history, it was this group (Guanlong Group) that gave birth to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Li Li looked at the list carefully, and on the list, he could roughly guess that the people on these lists, perhaps themselves, or their descendants, were famous historical figures in history during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

These people may not know him, and he actually does not know each other, but these people are alternative "old friends" to him.

If you want to be lazy, do a "copy homework", appoint these people, and then pay attention to avoiding the "repeated mistakes" of Emperor Yang of Sui. If you can't say that Li Chu will replace Li Tang and achieve the glory of Li Tang in history?

Li Li was stunned for a while, feeling that his thoughts were too petty.

Since we are bound by the south, we should walk out a new avenue with a majestic spirit and open up a new world, and should not copy it according to the gossip.

There were also many talents in the "local" (south) of Chu State. Many Yuan Congregationals who followed him to conquer the world, as well as the elite officials of the gentry and common people, also had the ability to govern the country.

The Southern and Northern Dynasties in history ended with the demise of the Southern Dynasties Chen State. The unification of the Central Plains was completed in the form of "north-unification of the South", so the talents in the south failed to shine brilliantly on the stage of history.

But it does not mean there is no talent, it is just that these talents are limited by the world's general trend and useless.

Now, since he is becoming a powerful force in the south, he should continue to move forward, leading his fellow villagers and talents from all over the world, with the help of common interests, to unite and break out a new world.

Li Li closed the notepad and looked at the shaking candlelight, and his belief gradually became firmer:

A country that unifies the world should have a mind that embraces all rivers. It cannot just achieve geographical unity, but people's hearts are still divided.

......

In the morning, in the west of Kaifeng City, the brigade of carriages was ready, and relevant personnel were preparing for the distance.

In the bleak autumn wind, the Zhou royal family members who were destroyed in their country were about to board the bus and began a long journey.

First, go to Mianbei by land, pass the Han River to Xiangyang, and then continue south to Jiangling.

Take a boat into the river in Jiangling, go down the river, go from Yuezhou to Dongting Lake, and head to Linxiang, Xiangzhou, where is the end of their journey.

The Zhou Kingdom of Yuwen's family was destroyed, but the family still existed, but the place of residence had to be changed and moved to Linxiang, far south.

Linxiang, Xiangzhou, is a good place. Nowadays, all industries are prosperous, lively and the market is rich.

The royal families of the Zhou Kingdom who settled here can go to the city (under the premise of abiding by the system) and feel the atmosphere of the city so that they will not feel depressed in life.

Although Linxiang is more humid and hotter than in the north and has different eating habits, as long as you get used to it, your life in Linxiang is still good.

In a corner of the open space, men from Yuwen gathered together to listen to the teachings of the Emperor of Chu.

The weather is good today, and Li Li took the time to bring several princes out of the city to see off these royal families in the country.

Their family has no friendship with a large group of people in the Yuwen family, but they have the hatred of destroying the country. The so-called "farewell" is more about scene skills.

To demonstrate the benevolence of the Emperor of Chu and the care of the Li royal family for the devastated Yuwen family.

Since it is a scene skill, what both sides say is naturally a scene. If you don’t have any speculation, you will have to wait a moment. After the process is completed, those who should get on board will get on board and those who should get back to the city will return to the city.

Li Li noticed a boy who was distracted from the beginning and observed the wheels of the carriage next to him.

The expression is obviously different from that of adults: adults are covered in dust, and even if there is a smile on their faces, they still have a smile.

But this young man is different, with an excited look on his face. He must be attracted by the uniqueness of Kaifeng City. His focus is not on "the country is destroyed and the family is moved", but on the rare four-wheeled carriage in Chang'an.

Seeing that the boy followed his brother to board the car, and he didn't forget to touch the wheels, Li Li walked forward.

The brothers got out of the car quickly, and his father came over.

Li Li looked at the boy with a smile and asked, "Do you want to know the secret of this four-wheeled carriage?"

The boy nodded nervously: "Yes."

"I asked Xiangzhou...well, let Yousi prepare a set of books for you, specializing in explaining the four-wheeled carriage. Read more when you have time."

"Yes..." The young man was overjoyed and received a reminder from his father and brother, and quickly saluted: "Thank you Your Majesty..."

Li Li nodded: "Linxiang is a good place. When you have time, you can leave the city and take a boat trip to Dongting Lake. However, it is best to learn to swim, and swimming is also an interesting thing."

After saying a few words, Li Li was leaving, but remembered that he had to figure out the name of the young man and also ordered Yousi to send a book: "What's your name?"

The young man looked at his father and brother, then at the emperor, swallowed his saliva, and replied: "My name is Yuwen Wen..."
Chapter completed!
