Another letter came from the capital, which was sent by the prince.

In the letter, the prince first asked briefly about the recent situation of Li Jiuzhou and Li Chongniang, but the following content seemed a little worried. It seemed that something happened in the court that made him a little worried was literally judging that it should be the pressure from Yang Guozhong or An Lushan.

Li Jiuzhou frowned and wondered what would have made the prince so worried?

But the letter did not mention it. Li Jiuzhou looked at the Hei Xuetian outside the window and shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew that even if An Lushan suddenly rose up and caused chaos at this time, it was not surprising that he had lost all his face in the capital. He lost the emperor's trust in him, and it was normal for him to jump over the wall in a hurry.

So he replied to the prince, informing him not to worry that he had almost prepared.

It is indeed considered to be well prepared.

Planting Chameng rice has increased the grain output in the entire Shuofang Realm several times compared to before.

Originally, it was only enough to eat for one year, but now it is enough to eat for two years, and there is still some surplus as a future reserve.

Although it is winter now and it is no longer suitable for growing rice, it is enough to cope with next year with the original reserve of grain.

The animal husbandry industry on the grassland has also developed vigorously, and there is no shortage of beef and mutton.

The war horses have also improved their quantity and quality compared to before. Although the cavalry they now have is not enough to compare with the nomadic peoples in their heyday, looking at the Tang Dynasty, they may be considered the most elite cavalry.

The transaction of silk has attracted countless domestic and foreign merchants. In addition, Li Jiuzhou strongly supports commercial trade, which has caused the silk production in Shuofang to be in short supply, making enough money and bringing improvements to the lives of the people.

Jiuyuan's coal output has also increased significantly with mining. Although there is only one mine, its output is enough to supply land across the country. After using coal, many families gave up the original firewood and instead used cheap coal, which also made Li Jiuzhou make a lot of money.

Not to mention the unexpected surprise that came later, that gold mine.

Shuofang privately operated a gold mine, and the emperor seemed to turn a blind eye. Whether he knew it or not, Shuofang's current gold reserves are now the top in all parts of the country.

If you take out this gold, it will be enough to shock anyone who claims to be rich.

The manufacturing of gunpowder has also been increasing and improving. Next, Li Jiuzhou intends to develop in the direction of manufacturing gunpowder weapons.

The improvement of weapons does not only stay on the bow and arrow. With bow and arrow with extremely long range, it is like using modern guns to deal with the bow and arrow of the ancients. It is worth mentioning.

Next, Li Jiuzhou also plans to improve various weapons, such as siege, defense and cavalry, and combine his own knowledge to improve them into the most advanced equipment and build an advanced combat power.

In terms of military and horses, the people of Shuofang were extremely enthusiastic about joining the army. Although there were only a few regular troops, only a few were expanded, after being allowed to be armed locally, many villages and towns had their own civilian armed forces. Once wartime was really reached, these people could become troops. Perhaps their combat effectiveness was not as good as regular troops, but they were still more than enough than ordinary local troops.

In the ancient era of comparing the number of people, the tactics of the sea of ​​people were also an important factor. At that time, compared with the number of troops, Li Jiuzhou would not suffer any losses.

The quality of the army cannot be compared with that of famous generals. The combat quality of the entire army from top to bottom is extraordinary.

With money, food, and advanced weapons, Li Jiuzhou looked at Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi who were sitting down and asked: "Now the Shuofang Army is one of the strongest combat powers of the Tang Dynasty. If the country is in trouble in the future, are you willing to go to the front line?"

This is obviously a question that even if he does not inspire, what kind of person Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are will naturally devote themselves to the country.

As one of the people Li Jiuzhou admires the most, Guo Ziyi is full of enthusiasm: "I have nothing to say after death."

His words made Li Jiuzhou's blood boil and he remembered the famous saying: I am a brick, and I can move wherever I need it.

Li Guangbi's answer is more like a soldier: "Even if you die in the battlefield in the future, you will die as much as possible."

"It's not as serious as death." Li Jiuzhou muttered: "You still need national construction in the future."

Immediately he remembered Li Guangbi's future fate, which was death, and he became a little sad.

This is exactly what he said today, and he died vigorously.

It’s a pity that Li Guangbi did not die on the battlefield in the future. He made great contributions in quelling the Anshi Rebellion, but in the end he was jealous and framed by the eunuchs Yu Chaoen and Cheng Yuanzhen.

Compared to Guo Ziyi's brave retreat, Li Guangbi's fate was a little sad.

This feels like you know the ending and outcome of others, but you can only watch it and do nothing.

Li Jiuzhou was so sad and helpless at this time.

So he admired Guo Ziyi more and more.

Both were the ministers of Zhongxing who quelled the Anshi Rebellion. Guo Ziyi, the "Shangfu" was well versed in his ways and was able to end up well. He was awarded the title of Grand Tutor and was posthumously named "Zhongwu". He was fed to the Tang Dynasty ancestral temple court and buried with Jianling.

When Guo Ziyi resisted Tubo, Yu Chaoen instructed people to dig his father's tomb, and the ministers were worried that he would raise troops to rebel.

After Guo Ziyi entered the court, Daizong told him about this matter. He cried and said, "I have led troops for a long time and cannot forbid soldiers from damaging the graves of the people. Others dig my father's graves. This is a punishment from God, and it is not that anyone can't get along with me."

Later, Yu Chaoen invited Guo Ziyi to the banquet. Prime Minister Yuan Zai sent someone to tell him that Yu Chaoen would be unfavorable to him, and his subordinates also asked to follow him.

Guo Ziyi did not agree and only brought a dozen servants there.

Yu Chaoen asked, "Why are your entourage so few?" Guo Ziyi told him what he heard.

Yu Chaoen cried with emotion: "If you weren't an elder, how could you not be suspicious?"

From this short story, we can see Guo Ziyi's talent and his own way of being a human being. In history, there were not many such people except Zeng Guofan.

Even Zhuge Kongming was not belittled by the later leader Liu Chan after his death?

Liu Bowen, a capable minister of the founding country of the Ming Dynasty, had a bad ending.

Li Jiuzhou knew that these two were famous officials in the future, and did not neglect them at all. He always got along with them like friends, and rarely treated them with condescending attitude.

Several people discussed some things again, and Li Jiuzhou didn't return home until dark.

When I returned to the house, I saw Li Chongniang feeling depressed.

I originally arranged for Zhang Xiaoluo to accompany Li Chongniang, but when I looked at the expressions of the two, I knew that Li Chongniang did not like Zhang Xiaoluo.

Li Chongniang is one or two years older than Zhang Xiaoluo. Although she is about the same age and should have a common topic, it seems that Li Jiuzhou is wrong.

Maybe girls like boys who are more mature than themselves, and they don’t like their little brothers.
