v6 Chapter 5: Sunset is moving

It wasn't too early when Li Hua arranged the future where Zhang Wence and Qian Xianling would go. The sun shining into the lobby has a large sloping arc, and the square light and shadow are very long. One side is almost touching the three-foot high platform. Obviously, you can feel that the heat is running out, and it has a lazy meaning.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Li Min tilted his head and asked a clerk next to him, "Who else are there to meet today?"

The clerk responsible for arranging officials to meet the schedule, opened the book in his hand, glanced at it, and stood up from behind the desk and replied, "Her Highness, there are no more officials to be interviewed today."

Li Yan gave a whistle, waved his hand to let the clerk sit down, and asked a clerk on the right, "How has the interrogation of prison officials progressed these days?"

The clerk stood up and arched his hands: "Back to His Highness, the cases of officials who were jailed outside the 7th day have basically been concluded, and the cases of officials who are newly jailed within 7 days are being dealt with vigorously."

Li Zheng nodded and instructed: "The identity of the newly promoted officials must be completed as soon as possible, and the corresponding promotion process must be completed as soon as possible. They are all local officials. They cannot stay in Qingzhou for too long, and they must be returned quickly. Preside over government affairs. "

The scholar greeted him, and then took the opportunity to say: "Hedong's new promotion officials have completed the promotion process, and only after His Highness meets again tomorrow, they can return to their respective counties."

Li Wei nodded slightly, "as usual at Shen Shi."

"Yes."

After confirming some complicated but not messy things with several book clerks, Li Ye, who had been busy with his work for a day, stood up, stretched out, and smiled at Song Jiao, who was already clearing the books on the desk: "Today The wind is cool, which is suitable for an evening walk. How about Aunt Song walking with me? "

Song Jiao glanced at him and said unwillingly: "It's four hours now, and it's time for me to rest. Do you want me to work overtime again?"

Li Ye spread his hands. He taught Song Jiao the idea of ​​overtime. "How can walking be considered overtime? Walking is good for physical and mental health. Everyone should walk more."

"I can't feel physically and mentally healthy without seeing you during the break." Song Jiao looks like an employee squeezed by his boss.

Having said that, Song Jiao picked up the book and went out with Li Yan.

Song Li Jiao has been busy and dizzy since Li Ying returned from the demon clan and agreed with everyone to start a plan to send troops to the Central Plains. Under her leadership, Tsing Yi Yamen, Li Zhi's hand pointed wherever they were on the map, and they had to hit wherever they went. Numerous state and county officials were checked and they didn't know it.

According to Li Yan, the army is about to conquer, and the first task is not to command the soldiers to fight in the battlefield, but to ensure logistics.

Logistical matters involve all aspects, such as the collection, transfer, and transportation of money, grains, and supplies, and the collection and dispatch of civil servants. The amount of work is not small. Without a strong logistical support system, there is no possibility of a large army winning the battlefield, especially when the number of troops is huge.

The guns rang out in tens of thousands. This time is the expedition of a million troops. It is incomparable to Li Zhi's previous expedition with only 100,000 troops. The deployment of manpower and material resources is extremely great. The wealth used is astronomical.

It is said that it is the prefecture and county official, and it is a small official. If you have a sense of corruption and you don't control it, you can easily get around and eat and drink forever. The Baili Embankment was smashed into an ant hole, and there were a few more corrupt officials, and the overall situation of the war would be ruined as a result.

If the internal parts of a war machine are corrupted, no matter how sharp the external blade is, once they encounter a slightly heavy enemy, there is a danger of a complete collapse.

When the Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty first started to raise things, he had only a few thousand guns. In the face of a well-equipped million regular army, the reason why he was able to step up and eventually change the world was the corruption of the opponent's war machine. Li Zhi can't help but learn from the earth.

In order to reduce the maggots that make money from war, clean up corrupt officials, protect the army's logistics, and improve the efficiency of official administration, Li Yan took the opportunity to rectify the actions of officials.

Different from the general rectification of government administration, because the war is about to begin, Li Zhi cannot do this comprehensively and systematically. He can only choose to kill chickens, monkeys, and knock on the mountain, and try to achieve a temporary effect. First, ensure the war. Later Discuss again from a long perspective.

Li Yan and Song Jiao strolled to the garden. By this time, the flowers had already withered, and the yellow leaves had grown up and drifted away gently in the evening wind in the setting sun.

Song Jiao suddenly said: "In order to rectify the administration of officials and ensure the army's battle this time, you asked the Tsing Yi Yamen to thoroughly investigate the main officials such as local assassination history and county orders in some counties and counties in order to convict the malfeasance and promote the talented. It was a perfectly normal method, but one thing I never thought about. "

Li Yan glanced at the flaming red sunset, and he joked: "Aunt Song is the great talent at Bailudong, and I still have questions that I need to ask?"

"You're going to die if you don't speak poorly?" Song Jiao gave Li Yan a nasty look, and the momentary style made people dazzling, charming and unconscious.

She wasn't biased by Li Yan, and frowned, and continued: "When the government was close to rectify the administration, there was a lot of time and work, and it was difficult to ensure that some officials did not take the opportunity to clear up dissidents. Everyone would be in danger if they were not careful. It caused official vibration and centrifugal movements. At that time, it would be beneficial to battle in the sand, and it would be good if there was no chaos in the rear. People who dared to do so in the past have not lost, but they basically killed themselves. "

She glanced at Li Yan, her eyes were deep, "You have a short time to get the Seven Towns of Hebei, and it is very rare to be able to quickly implement the" New Deal ", not to mention that as soon as Hebei has calmed down, you went to the Yaozu. This time as soon as you return It is necessary to launch a million troops to attack the Central Plains, hurriedly rectify the administration, and let the war go smoothly. There are indeed many difficulties ... but! "

Speaking of Song Jiao's tone immediately, Li Li's eyes were full of incomprehension and inquiry, saying almost one word at a time: "But the prefectures and counties in Tsing Yi to investigate are either problems in the history of the thorns or county orders. The problem is that there is a problem with the county decree or a problem with the stabbing history, or there is a problem with the stabbed history and the county decree, and there is no exception!

"This is unbelievable. It is simply impossible! To this day, don't you intend to explain it to me?"

After speaking, Song Jiao stared at Li Yan intently, as if to see him through.

Li Yan: "..."

Facing Song Jiao's direct eyes, he gave a haha, Gu Gu said, "Isn't this great? Save time and effort. Doesn't Aunt Song like to run around with Tsing Yi?"

Song Jiao's eyes were staring at him, and he stared at Li Yan with a bad intention. Like his sister who was annoyed by the naughty little fart child, he was going to find a piece of bamboo to teach people.

Being stared at by Song Jiaoguo like this, Li Yan felt like he was undressed, and he was particularly embarrassed.

The states and counties where he asked Song Jiao to go through the gathering of the people's luck beforehand, knowing that the people there were not loyal to him, and concluded that there was something wrong with the administration of the Shishi County Order. .

If Li Xun hadn't got the golden finger, he could see the blood, and at the same time he wasn't worried about His Majesty's officials planting and framing the wrongdoers, and he wouldn't dare to rectify the government at this time.

But how did he tell Song Jiao about this?

Li Zheng could only say solemnly and solemnly, "It's true. The reason why the Tsing Yi Qiangmen can strike a shot is really because I know in advance that the officials of those states and counties are not in good governance and there is a problem in governing the place."

Song Jiao's eyes continued to sink, and the words popped out of the gaps between the teeth: "I asked how do you know!"

Li Yan groaned a little, "This is a secret, I do n’t tell him, but since Aunt Song must know, I can't hide it ..."

"Say it!"

"Actually, I got the hint from heaven!"

With a stun, Song Jiao's long sword came out three inches, staring at Li Yan fiercely: "I give you a chance to reorganize the language!"

Li Yi sighed, and quickly raised his neck, Dayi said suddenly: "Your sword, cut it **** my neck! Anyway ... I have a natural body to protect you, you can't kill me."

Song Jiao: "..."

For a long time, she took the long sword and lowered her head into thought.

Seeing her look, Li Min felt a little unhappy.

To him, Song Jiao is different from others. The other was watching him grow up. The relationship between the two was close, and there were some other feelings, which made Li Yan always relax when he was in front of Song Jiao.

Li Yan is the leader of the nine towns in the north and the most powerful prince of the Tang Dynasty. He is one of the best princes in the world. In front of others, he has to hold a little shelf-even without the shelf, his thoughts cannot stop. Fight with people at all times.

Leaving aside, even in front of Wu You, Li Yan's back is also awesome, and he will never expose his fragile and tired side-although that side is rare, it still exists, and it is impossible for everyone. Excluded completely.

But at Song Jiao, Li Yan was able to completely offload the burden.

Because the other party is the elder who watched him grow up, and it is not the kind of serious elder in the pure sense-Song Jiao always liked to arouse him before, which makes the two get extra comfortable.

Li Yan once heard people say that when you meet someone, when you face her, you can completely relax without stress, and you can show your childlike mind without fear, then she is the person who is best for you, so you should not hesitate Together.

Well, that sentence has a suffix: regardless of gender.

Li Xun was going to comfort Song Jiao. When he told her the truth, the other side sighed first, and bright peach eyes stared at Li Xuan, and said seriously, "Maybe it is really a hint from heaven to you."

With a moment's surprise, Li Yan opened his eyes in wonder: "You believe it?"

Song Jiaoer smiled, the shallow pear vortex was gentle like water, and the green silk was dyed with the golden sunset of the sunset. "If someone else said this, I would never believe it, but if you say it, I really cannot find a reason to refute it. Because you ... have the care of heaven. "

Li Min felt that Song Jiao was too reasonable, and he could not refute the other party.

To be realistic, he may have the natural care, if not, how can he get two clues?

Li Xun looked at Song Jiao, a gentle and serious, and Li Xun was speechless for a moment. The setting sun on her mature and charming face also illuminated the solitude in his heart. He suddenly felt that the beat of his heartbeat was a bit messy.

Stabilizing his mind, Li Yan said solemnly: "Aunt Song, I found you a secret."

"What secret?" Song Jiao looked puzzled and curious. What secrets can she have?

Li Yan used a firm tone of whoever heard it: "You have become a lot more beautiful today."

Song Jiao: "..."

Wasn't the old lady beautiful?

Realizing that there was something wrong with his words, Li Min added: "You were beautiful before ... you are always beautiful. But you are still getting more and more beautiful. This is really jealous. Other women's lives ... not to men all over the world! "

Song Jiao: "..."

What crazy is this kid doing today?

Is he confessing to me? !!

Song Jiao couldn't help panic.
