The rustling sound was very slight and not long. Li Ye walked lightly to the bead curtain, looked towards the outside room where the personal servant girl was, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he shook his head slightly and sighed softly.
Shao Siming sat curled up on the couch, with his head resting on his knees, his eyes fell on his feet, the quilt had been kicked down, he was silent, his thin shoulders trembled slightly, like a wounded kitten. The moonlight shone in from the window, and the clear light fell on the couch, making Shao Si Ming more and more lonely.
Li Ye has watched such a scene for three years.
He can understand Shao Siming's state of mind, falling alone in the enemy camp, facing an opponent he can't defeat, not so much that Shao Siming is thinking about how to assassinate Li Ye, it is better to say that she can only be safe if she follows Li Ye feel. Although Li Ye was an enemy, he was not a bad person. Li Ye didn't kill her in the woods that day, nor did he touch her, so he still had some character.
Shao Siming has no tomorrow, because she doesn't know when she will die, and she doesn't know what the future will be, because Penglai can't save her. Although she has a high level of cultivation, she is useless now. In a sense, she is still just a child. When she arrives in Qingzhou, if she doesn't follow Li Ye, what can she do? Perhaps only by following Li Ye like a shadow, can she know that she is still alive, at least she still has a goal to follow, and she can only confirm by watching the other party treat people and do things. Today is indeed alive.
In such a situation, no matter how noble and glamorous she is during the day, facing the moonlight alone at night, she will always be caught off guard by fragility, whether lonely or frightened, cold negative emotions will envelop her like a tide, There is no way to resist, perhaps, she is looking forward to the sunrise, but after sunrise, what is the difference
Li Ye walked to the couch, picked up the quilt, shook the dust, put it on Shao Siming, and sat down on the couch. The other party didn't look up, and didn't make a sound.
Li Ye didn't know if a person who never spoke would feel lonely. If he did not speak for a long time, he would probably go crazy, so Shao Siming, who never spoke, might be pessimistic from the bottom of his heart. It is not easy for pessimistic people to live in a hopeless environment. When there is no sunshine in life, death is not terrible, it is just a destination.
Li Ye said softly, "People from Penglai will come today."
Shao Si Ming raised his head in surprise, and looked at Li Ye blankly.
Li Ye smiled: "Don't worry, it's a good thing. It's good for Penglai and me, and it's the same for you. Now that the owner of this three-acre land in Pinglu has been determined, there won't be many disputes. "
What Li Ye said is correct, three years have passed, and Pinglu has become a monolith under his governance.
Soon it was dawn, and the two had breakfast together as usual, and it was summer again, the sun was as bright as in previous years, and everything exuded vigorous vitality. Li Ye first came to the Political Affairs Hall, where he would deal with Pinglu's military and political affairs every morning, and Shao Si Ming still stood behind him, still so peaceful and ethereal.
The first one to arrive was Li Zhen, who is now a long history, in charge of the government affairs of Pinglu, and his team is all people from the old Prince An's mansion, very capable, after his governance, Pinglu is now well-organized and harmonious.
"The easiest way to gain popular popularity is to rectify the administration of officials and punish corrupt officials. Seeing that bully officials who have caused disasters are investigated and sent to prison and executed, the people will always applaud. In the past three years, Pinglu has punished as many as There are more than 300 people, and all the important officials in the prefectures and counties are our forces, and none of them are dead. Even the country gentry dare not run rampant in the countryside, and must do good deeds every day, because they don't want to be recorded in the merit book The next one is black. The praise of the people for Lianshi has reached an unprecedented height."
The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source. Download the huanyuanapp.org source change app here, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
Li Zhen explained, as for the merit book he was talking about, it was a kind of good deed monitoring system established by Li Ye specifically for local forces without official positions. For good deeds, he would use Zhu notes, and for evil, he would use black notes to reach a certain amount. , it will be liquidated.
After Li Zhen, there was Cui Keli, a Confucian scholar with the same Confucian scholars, who was in charge of agriculture, industry and mines. Many people were punished for their misconduct, and the good land was distributed to the common people and refugees. In the past three years, the area of cultivated land in Pinglu has reached half of the original cultivated land, and the newly added good land has strict irrigation ditches. , a good harvest every year. Many refugees from the war in the Central Plains have come to our Pinglu, and now the population has increased by half. Although I dare not say that every family eats meat, it is certain that there is no need to worry about food and clothing."
Li Ye nodded slightly. These things are all outlined by him, so he naturally knows the depth of them. Among other things, Pinglu's taxes have been doubled, and the granaries are piled up like mountains. Otherwise, what would he use to build a new army
Speaking of the new army, Liu Dazheng reported next: "According to the command of the commander in chief, in the past three years, the general has successively recruited 100,000 strong men to train the new army. Suppressing bandits, tempering iron and blood on the battlefield. Now that elite soldiers have been trained, they can go to the battlefield at any time. In addition, Pinglu Industrial and Mining is developing rapidly, and the fine armor and weapons manufactured by the academy are all equipped with new military."
"The Zhongmen Envoy did a good job." Li Ye affirmed.
The original Pinglu army was useless, it was just a bunch of arrogant soldiers, it was not just a matter of lack of training and style, many people were rotten and couldn't be saved, so he set about training a new army.
After the Huangchao Rebellion, there were famous vassals everywhere, but I never heard of that one. It turned out to be the Jiedushi. This is because the original Fanzhen army was not strong enough. .
Of course, Li Ye didn't completely abandon the old army, he was still letting them train, and when he was brought to the battlefield in the future, he could at least strengthen his momentum.
Li Ye's plan is to use the new army to make meritorious service through the upcoming war, and then gradually replace the old army in a justifiable way, and finally turn all the old army into civilian husbands and let them farm.
Because it is the reason of the cultivation world, the population of this world is prosperous, and the population is much larger than that of the earth. Li Ye's plan is to establish a new army of 200,000 to 300,000 after the Battle of Huangchao.
The fourth person who came was Song Jiao. She said: "The Tsingyi yamen has been expanded to 800 people. According to His Highness, it is divided into Scout Hall, Zhige Hall, Jianghu Hall, and Internal Affairs Hall. There are 400 people in the Scout Hall, and they have been distributed. Go out, establish a stronghold in the world, and collect information from all over the world; Zhigetang is a qi practitioner and accepts combat missions; and chores."
Li Ye's conception of the Tsingyi Yamen has now been fully implemented. On the one hand, it is an intelligence assassination agency, and on the other hand, it is the leader of the Jianghu.
Needless to say about the former, only the latter, under the management of the Tsingyi Yamen, the current Pinglu Jianghu is in order, and basically they are working for the government, and those who do not work for the government must do good things to the people, otherwise they will be banned . All in all, rivers and lakes have also become part of Li Ye's efforts to build Pinglu.
The last one to come in was Shangguan Qingcheng. He reported Nei Ya's military affairs. Nei Ya was Li Ye's guards. He had expanded from the previous 800 people to 3,000 people. He was absolutely elite. Hundreds of people.
After seeing these people, what Li Ye had to deal with today was pretty much the same, but before lunch, he also met with the Academy of Martial Arts and the dean of the academy.
The Martial Arts Academy is a military academy. Li Ye wants the new army to be powerful. Training alone is not enough. He also needs to improve the military quality of the generals and schools. After all, fighting on the battlefield is a technical job. A college is a university. If he wants to prosper in all industries and improve Pinglu's comprehensive strength, he has to cultivate talents in all aspects.
After lunch, Li Ye came to the East Study Room. In the afternoon, he didn't deal with political affairs. Apart from practicing exercises and combat skills, he basically spent his time studying, relaxing, and meeting some important people. Sometimes he would leave Qingzhou City and walk around.
Now he is interviewing people from Penglai Daomen.
Li Ye was very familiar with the people who came, Zhang Yunhe and Da Si Ming.
Li Ye knew why Penglai sent people here.
The Daoist sect is the biggest power in the rivers and lakes. However, in Pinglu, Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang have been entrusted with the important task by Li Ye to build the Quanzhen Temple. As the leaders of the Daoist sect, their task is to lead Pinglu, big and small. Taoist temple, go to do good things for the people near the Taoist temple, such as curing diseases and saving people, eliminating disasters and solving difficulties. Wei Xiaozhuang's ideal is now being realized.
After three years, the Quanzhen Temple has gained a reputation comparable to that of Penglai. It is impossible for Penglai not to feel the crisis, because they are about to be replaced and lose the soil for survival.
Li Ye held a tea banquet in the gazebo, under the expectant gaze of Shao Si Ming, Da Si Ming and Zhang Yunhe finally walked into the Moon Gate.
Li Ye understood Shao Si Ming's mood, waved his hand, and said to her: "It's rare to be reunited, go, just don't leave Qingzhou City."
Shao Si Ming took a deep look at Li Ye, went over to greet Zhang Yunhe, and then flew away with Da Si Ming.
Zhang Yunhe came to the gazebo, greeted him, and took a seat.
"Your Highness is willing to see us, and I feel very honored." Zhang Yunhe no longer has half a sense of superiority. Now that the situation in Penglai is like this, Li Ye's ability to handle military affairs is beyond doubt. Unexpectedly, he said: "Your Highness's cultivation base... has already reached the ninth level of Qi training!"
"Normal promotion." Li Ye said casually. What he said was correct. Three years have passed, and Pinglu has been developing vigorously in all aspects. The popularity he has gained is increasing day by day. It is expected that he will be promoted to the ninth level of Qi training. . You must know that the common people benefited from the straightening out of the military administration, which is not the same as bringing down Wei Baoheng and Liu Xingshen and attracting the admiration of people with lofty ideals all over the world.
This is only a part of Pinglu's popularity. Li Ye has carefully estimated that Pinglu believes that millions of them are enough for him to be promoted to the Realm Reality, but it still needs some chances. credit.
Zhang Yunhe was horrified, he knew Li Ye's combat strength, he could defeat Shao Siming at the seventh level of Qi training, but now at the ninth level of Qi training, wouldn't even Zhang Jiuling not necessarily be able to suppress him? In the confrontation between Penglai and Jiedushi, Zhang Jiuling's most proud bargaining chip is Zhang Jiuling's cultivation. If he loses this advantage now, he is really useless.
Li Ye said bluntly, "Daozhang Zhang is back, why?"
Zhang Yunhe opened his mouth for a while, and was speechless for a while. He came back with good intentions. Penglai has been squeezed by Li Ye and there is almost no room for living. If he wants to continue to survive in Penglai, or the world is in chaos. If you can make a difference, you can only reconcile with Li Ye.
Originally, Zhang Jiuling meant to send his disciples to assist Li Ye, which meant that Penglai's recognition of Li Ye's status as Jiedushi would be of great benefit to Li Ye, and correspondingly, Li Ye would also give Penglai many benefits. The Quanzhen view has been withdrawn.
But now it seems that the Penglai Dao Sect doesn't have the capital to bargain with Li Ye at all. Who made Li Ye reach the ninth level of Qi training
Zhang Yunhe hesitated for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind: "Penglai intends to send the Chief Commander over here, together with the Young Commander, to serve as guards for His Highness, what does His Highness think?"
