Chapter 675 Unification of Thoughts
Li Mu stood quietly aside, glanced at Zhao Yun who was eating and drinking, and then looked at Feng Yong who was deep in thought, with a faint light in his eyes.
“If the prince wants to establish a relationship with the Li family in Longxi, I can help.”
“Oh, didn’t you refuse to sell woolen cloth to the Li family in Longxi?”
Feng Yong raised his head and asked.
“Do you know, sir, why I am trying so hard to develop this house in Nanxiang?”
Although Feng Yong asked questions, his tone was affirmative, "In order to establish another lineage of the Li family in Hanzhong?"
Li Mu first nodded, then shook his head, "Now our sixth branch can only be regarded as a side branch to the Li family in Shuzhong. If we can establish another branch in Nanxiang and become the Nanxiang Li family clan, that would be the best. "
"But even so, for the Li family in Longxi, the Li family's big house in Guanghan County is still the clan house in the middle of Shu, unless the Li family in Nanxiang can get the qualification to go to Longxi to worship."
When Feng Yong heard this, he asked with some confusion, "Why not call it Hanzhong Fang?"
Li Mu smiled slightly, "There is also a Li family in Nanzheng, but it is too declining now. If the Sixth House can be combined with the Li family in Nanzheng, it can be called the Hanzhong House."
“There is also a branch of the Li family in Nanzheng?”
Feng Yong was in a trough.
How intricate is this?
“The Li family of Nanzheng is a branch of the Li family of Zhaojun. The ancestor of the Li family of Zhaojun was the prime minister of Zhao State in the pre-Qin Dynasty and Lord Li Mugong of Wu’an.”
“The Lord of Wu’an, Li Mugong, was the younger brother of Li Chonggong, the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi.”
"The ancestor of the Li family in Nanzheng was Li Jiegong, and his son Li Hegong served as a Situ in the Later Han Dynasty. Li Hegong's son Li Gugong became the Taiwei of the Later Han Dynasty, and he was considered to be at his peak."
“It was only later that the Qiang-Hu rebellion spread to Hanzhong, and Nanzheng was defeated by the Hu people, and the Li family in Hanzhong was damaged.”
“The worst thing was the Battle of Hanzhong. Cao Cao’s thieves moved away the people of Hanzhong, and Hanzhong was almost turned into a wasteland. Only then did the Li family of Nanzheng decline.”
“However, in the past few years, the Nanzheng Li family has received help from our Liufang and gathered some scattered tribesmen, and finally the incense has not been lost.”
Li Mu slowed down when he said this, "The ancestors of the Li family in Zhaojun and the Li family in Longxi are two brothers, with the same origin. If they can be reunited into one in Hanzhong, it will be a good story."
Then you can take the opportunity to become the clan member of the Li family in Hanzhong?
Looks like a backdoor listing?
Or is it cross-shareholding and complementary advantages?
Before Feng Yong could speak, Zhao Yun suddenly said, "I've eaten enough. It's getting late now. I'll stay with you tonight and rush back to Jicheng tomorrow."
Li Mu glanced at Zhao Yun, lowered his head, and said no more.
Feng Yong knew that the old man felt that he was not suitable to hear such a sensitive topic, or that he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
He nodded immediately, stopped the topic for the time being, and stood up to find someone to make arrangements.
After the old man left, Feng Yong motioned for Li Mu to sit across from him and asked, "So, Taigong Li wants to move the sixth house to Hanzhong and make the sixth house of the Li family the Hanzhong house of the Li family?"
Li Mutuan sat upright opposite Feng Yong and nodded, "The Grand Duke had this idea at first."
After hearing this, Feng Yong realized that these words had a different meaning, "What do you mean?"
“Nanxiang is developing too fast,” Li Mu looked at Feng Yong with bright eyes, “Tai Gong thought that it would take at least two to three generations for the sixth family of the Li family to be qualified to be called the Hanzhong Li family. "
“But in recent years, Liufang has begun to surpass Dafang. In many cases, Dafang has to turn to us, Liufang.”
“Therefore, I feel that instead of living in the same county as the Li family of Nanzheng, which is a branch of the Li family of Zhao County, Liufang is better off from another lineage.
Li Mu looked at Feng Yong with more and more intense eyes, "I have discussed this matter with the Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke also thought it was reasonable. However, this matter is of great importance, so we must be careful."
"But it would be much easier to get the support of the Li family in Longxi. So I bypassed the big house in private and had contact with the Li family in Longxi, and I also had some relationships."
The development of Nanxiang has exceeded what the family has experienced in the past few hundred years.
Even if it is not a completely new insight, it is something they have not recognized in just a few years.
The Grand Duke of the Li family originally wanted to rely on the efforts of two generations and combine with the Li family of Nanzheng to become the commander of Hanzhong County.
Unexpectedly, things would develop far beyond the expectations of the sixth family of the Li family.
Relying on Li Mu's special status, the sixth house of the Li family has mastered huge resources. Coupled with the original foundation in Shu, their ambitions have been further expanded.
So the Lijia Liufang began to adjust its original goals.
Not only did they want to break away from the control of the Li family clan in central Shu, but they were also ready to give up their plan to combine with the Li family in Nanzheng and build a separate county to look after the Li family.
So Li Mu bypassed the Li family's clan in Shu and directly established a relationship with the Li family in Longxi, just to prepare for this ambition.
Feng Yong understood what Li Mu meant and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since you have discussed it, have you ever thought about choosing a place to build the foundation?"
Since he wanted to be the county magistrate, he naturally had to choose a place where there was no Li family hall.
"This is just a private discussion between the concubine and the grandpa, and no conclusion has been reached yet." Li Mu said everything to Feng Yongzhi at this time, "But at this time, I have an idea."
At this point, she looked at Feng Yong steadily, "If possible, I hope to settle in Pingxiang."
"Okay!" Feng Yong stood up suddenly, "If your sixth house really wants to use Pingxiang as your foundation, I will give my full support."
Li Mu's face was filled with joy, and he stood up and saluted Feng Yong, "I would like to thank you first. When I return to Nanxiang, I will personally convey your wishes to the Grand Duke."
"What's there to thank you for? You, the Li family, have helped me a lot over the years, and I'm just repaying you."
Feng Yong’s smile was full of meaning.
Li Mu stood up and saw a knowing smile on his face when he saw Feng Yong's smile.
Before going to bed at night, Feng Yong told Guan Ji why Zhao Yun asked him to go to Longxi.
Of course, the impeachment of Li Yan is confidential, and Guan Ji is not qualified to know.
When talking about things in Longxi, it is inevitable to talk about the Li family.
When Guan Ji heard that Li Mu planned to persuade Li Taigong to move the foundation of the sixth house of the Li family to Pingxiang, she was a little suspicious. "Longyou is not peaceful now, not to mention that Pingxiang is in dilapidated condition."
“The Li family’s six-bedroom apartment is in Nanxiang, which is well-run, so why are they thinking of moving here?”
Feng Yong finished soaking his feet, wiped them dry with a towel, and climbed onto the kang, "It's just a wish, and it's Li Mu's wish alone."
“I don’t say whether Li Taigong is willing to do this in advance. Even if he is willing, it cannot be completed in one or two years.”
“It’s even more impossible to move them all at once. At most, some tribesmen will be moved here first to explore the way.”
“However, with the example of Nanxiang in front of us, I don’t think the Li family will give up this good opportunity.”
Pingxiang seems to be in ruins now, but the ruin also represents the void of local power.
With Li Mu's ability and the shrewdness of the Grand Duke of the Li family, it is impossible not to see this.
More importantly, this is Longyou, a place where wool is produced, and it is also a vast and sparsely populated place. With the support of himself, the captain who protects the Qiang, the Li family's development prospects will be much greater than in Nanxiang. .
The development basis of traditional aristocratic families is land, but the six houses of the Li family do not occupy much land in Nanxiang, at least compared to the area in Shu, the area is quite small.
But it’s different when you get to Longyou.
As long as you have permission, it doesn't matter if you occupy the land.
Of course, Feng Yong has no intention of letting the Li family's sixth house follow the old path of a traditional family.
No matter how much land it occupies, how can any wool spinning workshop make money quickly?
A new type of aristocratic family that focuses on capital will objectively help weavers master certain knowledge. Otherwise, how can we improve production efficiency?
This means that they will relax their monopoly and control over knowledge, and in the end, they will even take the initiative to promote the popularization of basic knowledge.
The establishment of a school in Yuexun by the Xinghan Society is the best example.
At the same time, the growth of new aristocratic families will also continue to expand the class represented by weavers.
More importantly, capital is inherently greedy.
It will prompt more and more elites to look to the outside world, such as the north, the west, etc.
Feng Yongyong may not be able to see that day, but once the seed is buried, it will naturally take root and sprout.
This is at least an effort to avoid that big disaster in the future.
“The reconstruction of Pingxiang would be much easier if we had the help of the Li Family’s Sixth Fang.”
Feng Yong lay down and said leisurely.
But their concubines, servants, and dependents totaled three to five hundred people.
In terms of naturalization and naturalization, if there are not even a few Han people, the Hu people want to change their customs, but they don’t know who to learn from!
Coupled with the various resources they brought over and the development of Pingxiang, for Feng Yong, it would save a lot of trouble for both young and old.
“If this is really the case, then Li Muke will be a big help to Alang.”
Guan Ji said in Feng Yong’s ear.
“Li Mu has been helping me a lot in Nanxiang these past few years.”
Feng Yong did not deny this, "But she did not suffer a loss. In the past two years, the momentum of the sixth house of the Li family has been even greater than that of the clan house."
“The Li family is the Li family, and Li Mu is Li Mu. What Alang said was that the Li family did not suffer any loss, but it did not mean that Li Mu gained anything.”
Guan Ji whispered, "Don't Alang think of compensating Li Mu for something?"
"What compensation?" Feng Yong said casually, not knowing whether he was pretending to be stupid or he really didn't know what Guan Ji meant, "With her current status and reputation, no matter how many people ask for her, she won't be able to get her."
“As long as Feng Yong’s family doesn’t lose power, she will be as stable as a mountain. What more compensation do you want?”
After hearing this, Guan Ji smiled with satisfaction, "Since A Lang has already made a decision, then listen to A Lang."
After sending off Zhao Yun, Zhang Xingyi and Li Mu, Feng Yong took the time to finish writing the winter training plan, and then summoned the main generals in the army.
The first is to explain his training plan to them, and the second is to arrange his work in Houpingxiang, Longxi.
"Pingxiang now has 3,000 soldiers, divided into three battalions. One is the Modao Battalion, the other is the Qiannu Battalion, and the third is the Engineering Battalion."
"I plan to select another two thousand people from Pingxiang, regardless of Han or Hu, to form two elite cavalry. In this case, there will be five thousand people under the Qiang Guards next year."
Feng Yong sat at the head of the conference table, with Zhang Ni, Jufu, Guan Suo, Liu Hun, Huo Yi and other major generals sitting on both sides.
Engineer Wenshi of the engineering camp has a special status and is allowed to sit at the table.
Behind these people, there were also people sitting in the army who were commanders and above. They could only listen but could not speak.
Since the pacification of Yuexi, Feng Yong has consciously cultivated a joint staff system and a military deliberation system that is different from this era.
The educational level of Nanxiang soldiers is not low, especially starting from the camp commanders who lead more than a hundred people. In addition to military quality, they also need to have a high cultural level and organizational ability.
They not only have to bear the task of conveying the superior's combat intentions to everyone below, but they also have to organize military training in peacetime, maintain the morale of the soldiers below, and so on.
After the war, they may also participate in the post-war summary, pass on the summarized experience, and strengthen corresponding training.
The combat effectiveness of the army under the Xinghanhui system has improved so rapidly that it is unmatched by other armies of this era.
“Liu Hun, you are familiar with cavalry. I want you to command these two elite cavalry. Do you have confidence?”
Liu Hun's face lit up with joy, he stood up suddenly and said loudly, "I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
"Okay, Huo Yi, I will appoint you as Liu Hun's deputy."
Huo Yi quickly imitated Liu Hun and stood up straight, "I will obey your orders."
After they sat down, Feng Yong pointed to the winter training plan placed in front of everyone, "Longyou is not as good as Shuzhong, not to mention that we are very likely to enter Liangzhou in the future."
"No matter Longyou, Liangzhou, or even Guanzhong, the winter is much colder than that in Shuzhong. It is necessary for the soldiers to adapt to this severe cold, so I plan to carry out training in winter."
The winter training plan is very detailed. It not only lists the necessity of winter training, but also formulates detailed regulations and issues that need attention.
"I will go to Longxi soon. I plan to take a thousand people there. The soldiers who are left behind in Pingxiang must not only protect Pingxiang, but also train the new soldiers."
Feng Yong ordered, "Liu Hun, you must be responsible for how to select future elite riders and train them well."
“I will eventually understand.”
“Jufu and Guansuo, you two will accompany me to Longxi.”
)
“All matters in Pingxiang will be handled by Zhang Yi for the time being, and the secretariat staying in Pingxiang will assist you.”
)
The official in charge of books is called Secretary Supervisor or Secretary Lang.
Officials in charge of secret documents include Secretary Ling and Secretary Cheng.
Feng Yong had a senior secretary, Amei, from the beginning. When he arrived in Yuexun, he began to establish a secretariat, led by Wei Rong.
Now it has been divided into first-level secretaries, second-level secretaries, and even third-level secretaries.
Those who can enter the secretariat are basically students from Nanxiang Academy.
When they have accumulated enough experience, they can then be transferred to the grassroots level for practical work, or they can be put into the military for training.
As for whether they can change their destiny in the future, it depends on their personal luck.
With luck, you can return to the Joint Staff without any hesitation.
At that time, it was not as a secretary who served people water, tea, and cleaning, but as a staff officer or general who participated in military discussions, which is not the same as the other.
After discussing what to do this winter, Feng Yong immediately held an enlarged meeting, involving everyone above the team leader level.
“The Northern Expedition was successful and the Han Dynasty regained Longyou. Everyone was very happy.”
Feng Yong stood on the high platform and looked at more than a hundred people standing in the darkness below.
The most elite members of the Qiang Protector Army are gathered here.
“Everyone has received the reward, are you very happy?”
Everyone below showed a knowing smile.
“So some people started to slack off, some started to relax, and some even wanted to go home and enjoy themselves.”
Feng Yong glanced down, his face became solemn, and he said loudly, "Who was defeated by the woman a few days ago?"
Everyone looked ashamed.
"How can we relax when the Han Dynasty is not prosperous and the Cao thieves are not destroyed?" Feng Yong pointed to the south bank, "Nanxiang is directly connected to Guanzhong. Do you think the Cao thieves will let everyone enjoy peace?"
"The Han Dynasty is weak and Cao Cao's bandit is powerful. Even if you can enjoy a moment of peace, in a few years, when Cao bandit breathes his last breath, he will definitely send a large army to attack Longyou. What will you do then?"
"Even if you return to Nanxiang, do you think Cao Cao will be willing to let the Han go easily? Cao Cao is rebellious, and the only thing he thinks about day and night is to destroy the Han."
"Therefore, the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao's traitors are natural enemies. Either we destroy the traitors, or the traitors devour us."
“As soon as the big Han shows signs of weakness, the Cao thieves will attack the big Han like hungry wolves in order to achieve their wolfish ambitions.”
“Especially Hanzhong is the place where the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao’s thieves meet. If Cao’s thieves want to go south, Hanzhong will definitely be the first place where war breaks out. Where can you retreat to?”
"The Cao thieves are tyrannical and the people in the land they rule are suffering unbearably. There are also powerful families who drive the gray-headed Guizhou heads like livestock."
“In addition, Cao Cao’s thieves like to kill. If Hanzhong suffers from war, not to mention yourselves, your parents, wives and children, everything you have now will be reduced to nothing!”
“At that time, you will return to the days of precarity, hunger, cold, poverty, selling sons and daughters, and separation of wives and children!”
When everyone heard this, their bodies suddenly shook.
They had never thought about this problem before.
Think about the life we live now, and then think about the life we lived in the past. No one wants to go back to the past.
Whoever wants them to go back to the past is their life and death enemy.
Feng Langjun’s long-lost special skills: clever words and seduction, finally reappeared in the world.
"So, if we want to keep our current life, there is only one way, and that is to completely defeat the Cao thieves! Let them no longer threaten the Han Dynasty."
“When you become the hero of the revival of the Han Dynasty, your wives, children, and descendants can enjoy peace for a long time and no longer be forced by thieves.”
After the material civilization improves, we must step up efforts to improve the construction of spiritual civilization.
It is absolutely impossible to let horses go to Nanshan and put swords and guns into storage!
Even if there is a slight sign, it will not work.
The productivity and production relations within the Xinghanhui system are already a step and a half ahead of this era. If you are not careful, it will be overturned.
So Feng Yong has always been very careful about this.
“Defeat Cao’s thieves and revive the great Han Dynasty!”
A loud sound came from the direction of the commander's camp, causing the soldiers in the camp to look sideways.
