After recording the trivial things that need to be recorded, after Hou Yuanyong came to pick up Yu Hezhong, Shishi asked Xiaoling to bring in some food. She took a piece of pastry, continued to think about the news that Yu Hezhong had just stated, raised her head and saw that Xiaoling was hesitant to speak, and said just now, "What's wrong?"

"I think...Miss Shishi is really worried about Mr...."

Xiaoling smiled, but these words were somewhat against her will, Shishi ate the cake, and then laughed too: "Xiaoling, your impression of Mr. is actually not good, right?"

"I just think... it's so late, Miss Shi Shi should go to bed earlier..."

She is the life secretary next to Shishi, and she understands and follows up on all kinds of trivial matters. After knowing Yu Hezhong's character in daily life, she certainly doesn't agree with him, especially Shishi's recent love for him. This round of arrangements can be said to be dedicated, but in reality, it will naturally take a lot of effort and time, which is naturally somewhat incomprehensible.

Shi Shi thought for a while behind the desk, and finally spoke after a while: "Mr. Ning... often talks about revolution."

"Um…"

"The word revolution means to revolutionize one's own life and the lives of others, so how can you revolutionize other people's lives? Xiaoling." Shishi held a brush in her hand and smiled: "We run schools in the countryside, and in books We write stories on the Internet, and some people learn something and are inspired. Of course, we are very happy. We think these people are positive and motivated, and we think they are worthwhile. We like it after reading it, but Mr. Ning... once told me, He said, Master, look at this world, some people are born with good character, or when we met him, he became self-motivated and became the person we like, but more people, regardless of In the city or in the countryside, they are lazy and disgusting. Sometimes, even if you put good things in front of them with good intentions, they will not take them. If you tell them good truths in pieces, they will listen. I don't understand...then what should we do with these people?"

The teacher paused: "The former Huaxia Army... united some people who were first enlightened. As comrades, they will also start to enlighten those who are easy to be enlightened through various means. Back then in Bianliang, for those who have not yet Awakened people, Mr. Ning said that they will die... But sooner or later, when the Huaxia Army kills them, everyone will come to us, Xiao Ling, what about those people with shortcomings? Telling stories, they don’t understand, what should we do with those who steal, cheat, or are simply lazy and selfish? What should we do, mainly, what should we do, sooner or later, we have to think about it ..."

She raised her head slightly, thought about it, and smiled slightly: "I remember... At that time, I mainly protested to him, why can't our story be written more elegantly? He said it could be more elegant, but more vulgar would not There should be, because we will face these people in the future. They commit crimes and we can deal with him or even kill him. If he is just not motivated, or lazy and stupid, should we consider using various methods? For example, if the story is more beautiful, and the truth is broken and broken, even if you think it is not so beautiful, it may be useful to others..."

"...Brother Yu is a very ordinary scholar. He was taken care of by me when he was in his teens or twenties. He has seen the scenery, his ability is limited, and he is a little unwilling to make progress. In the past year or so, he has been gentle. The township also made him forget himself. Compared with many people in the Huaxia Army, he looks a little hideous. But looking at it from another direction, he has at least read books and literate, understands some truths, is not courageous, but has some Admonishment, he can listen to it, even if he has power, but at most he spends money on people, he doesn't bully others... For such a person, can there be some way to make him... a little better?"

"...Of course, because Brother Yu is a friend by my side, it is selfish to think of some methods just for him, and to use people from the Huaxia Army. It's hard to say whether it should be, but it seems like It is the same as the monks I met when I was young. They save the world, and they also save one person. It is a joy to be able to save one...Xiaoling, for example, when you have such a friend who you hate by your side, when you can help him, you will won't help?"

"Uh..." Xiaoling struggled for a moment, "I just... think Miss Shi Shi can help more people by paying attention to her body, and... I didn't think so much..."

Shishi laughed, and after a while, when Xiaoling was about to turn around, she asked: "Xiaoling, have you heard the rumors about Li Rulai, General Li?"

"General Li...what's the rumor?"

"...the rumors about him giving women away everywhere."

"This..." Xiaoling thought for a while, "No, I just heard...Although he is a surrendered general, he has a lot to do with it. There are rumors outside that his military power is wanted here. , let him open a lot of factories. But sending women...others don't tell me if they know about it..."

"Understood." Shishi nodded.

After Xiao Ling went out, Shi Shi sat there and thought for a while. Li Ru sent women to the army, which touched Ning Yi's bottom line, but as Xiaoling said, even if someone knew about this matter, they would not easily publicize it to the female soldiers. So, does Ning Yi know about this matter? , He had already put Li Rulai on the blacklist, so whether he should ask about this matter, or whether to bring it up after checking, it is all a matter of consideration.

Theoretically speaking, under the premise that Ning Yi is vigilant, he should be aware of this matter. But if not, how can I check it myself, if I want to ask, who to ask, if a person from the espionage system I inquired has also received benefits from Li Rulai, then what should I do. Had to be vigilant.

It would be great if I could start a family brothel...Thinking about it later, this thought arose in her heart. Brothels have always been a gathering place for all kinds of information. When she was in the capital, all kinds of news, big and small, would fall to her sooner or later... hands. But now, thinking of Ning Yi's possible attitude when she proposed this idea to Ning Yi, she couldn't help laughing.

After thinking about it for a while, I went to bed and rested.

When she got up the next day, there was light snow in the courtyard outside. She did a set of dance moves outside as an exercise, and then returned to the study. After sorting out her thoughts, she wrote a letter to Ning Yi at her desk.

When you go to work, take it to the secretariat and ask the secretariat to hand over this "closed" wax seal.

It was the morning of December seventeenth.

The secretariat packed up all kinds of important information and letters collected yesterday, and left Chengdu quickly on a fast horse. When it arrived around Shen o'clock in the afternoon of this day, it joined the Ning Yi convoy who was on the way to inspect. At this time, Ning Yi's team was resting in a barracks of the Fifth Army of China in the north of the plain. At the same time, Ning Yi met with He Zhicheng, the commander of the Fifth Army of the China Army, who happened to be here. The current situation of the army needs to be discussed in detail.

At the second moment of Shen Shi, the sky had subsided a little, and the two of them did not bring too many guards. They were fishing by a small river outside the barracks, and the surrounding land and hills were covered with thin snow.

As the commander of the Fifth Army, He Zhicheng is thin and thin. Apart from taking care of the army, his only hobby is occasional fishing. He has a calm temperament, meticulous work and patience. Some people even joked that it was because he likes fishing that Ning Yi let him go. He was in charge of the military affairs of the Fifth Army.

After noon, Ning Yi mentioned something about fishing, and He Zhicheng dragged him to this river, and then told him a lot of fishing rules, why is it cold in winter, the best time to come out is noon, The hook should be placed deep, the bait should be live bait as far as possible, and the taste should be strong. Ning Yi pays attention to efficiency. In fact, he doesn't like fishing. He likes to use nets, or simply fry fish, but he has already spoken, so he has to pretend to sit with the other party for two hours.

We talked about military affairs in the middle.

After the victory in the Southwest War, at this stage, the two main forces of the Huaxia Army are both militant. It is not a problem to carry out a new round of propaganda and cooperate with the land reform. but…

"...Recently, I'm thinking about letting the troops go to Chengdu and Zizhou less. The idea is still brewing, and I originally planned to talk about it when we meet during the Chinese New Year."

"what happened?"

"Drunk and rich, something has happened." He Zhicheng said, "It was nothing in the Wu Dynasty. You know, soldiers pay and hang their heads on their trouser belts. If they leave the team, they will be soldiers." To have fun, even sometimes, after winning battles on the battlefield, the soldiers could not be held back, there were people who burned, killed, looted, and bullied women... In the years since you led everyone to kill Zhou Zhe, the management and training of soldiers gave them enlightenment , the army has a different look, this is my happiest thing..."

"Say something but."

"But in the past year or so, something has changed. In the past, it was bitter, and the place was poor. From Xiaocanghe to Liangshan, the hard times have been overcome, and the discipline is good. But recently, Chengdu and Zizhou are very lively. Compared with Bianliang in the past, some soldiers went there, talked about it, and talked about such delicious food and fun, and they didn’t want to come back. In fact, just spending their own money, even if they find a woman , eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, that’s okay, soldiers, they want to have some fun in life. But many times, some people are willing to know them and entertain them..."

"..." Ning Yi listened quietly.

"In August of this year, Niu Chengshu led a team to Chengdu to handle errands. Several of his subordinates went to a brothel and almost got into a fight with people from the brother army on the street. Niu Chengshu was conscious. He fined everyone and took them out of Chengdu immediately. , and follow up with the report, cancel any holidays within a year, and you are not allowed to go there again... I have carefully investigated, similar things may not happen twice, sometimes one or two soldiers are drinking flower wine and getting drunk in the city , very brave and ruthless, but it didn’t make too much noise, but it’s going to be a big mess sooner or later when someone treats guests... For this matter, I can only strengthen discipline at present, even if it’s a holiday, it’s not necessary not to go to a few big cities , but they are on holiday, it is impossible to really restrict them..."

"Who are the guests? Is there a record?"

"I have recorded some, and there are all kinds of things. Those who want to clear up relationships, those who want to burn cold stoves, it is not surprising that they were in the Wu Dynasty in the past. But they are just entertainers. Now there are not many crimes, and they can't get people. Ah, and it’s just because it’s rare in the past ten years, and suddenly it happens again, so I don’t know whether it’s normal or abnormal.”

Ning Yi nodded and was silent for a long time before sighing complicatedly, as if talking to himself: "Developing capital...will affect the army..."

"Speaking of which, it wasn't a big deal in Bianliang before, but you trained the army so well, I suddenly felt a little bit reluctant. Such soldiers are rare... It can't be said that the city can't be prosperous just because the soldiers can fight. , it must be prosperous, but... we have to think of something, I will strengthen discipline here, and see what you can do on your side. In fact, I can find out a few typical criminals. I have done it, and it is not big... "

"Slowly it will grow bigger."

"Or call out earlier."

"...The land reform has to be completed, the manpower has to be adjusted, and the army has to be expanded. It will take a year or two. How can we manage such a big place outside if you give it to you? Even if you add Chen Fan, Zhu Biao, and Liu Chengzong, we are just I just took a breath, taking up space is a problem. Look at a land reform, people who can be used are stretched, they have to be able to hatch eggs..."

"Okay, I know too. Let me continue to maintain the army here..."

"Strengthen discipline, I'll think of a way to add some food for you, how about a few more art troupes?"

"The little girl is beautiful, a bunch of animals fight every day, a lot of lace..."

"Pursuing love is better than spending money to go out to play. Get married and take care of yourself. Moreover, if you get into a fight, you can still find excuses to punish them. Running cross-country to do zipper training is very good, okay, let's add some people..."

"I still have the power to expand the power of the art troupe. Why do you worry about this matter..."

"Isn't this a little bit of advice for you, Lao He."

Talking about trivial matters until the sky was getting dark, Ning Yi just divided a few big fish from He Zhicheng's fish basket, and walked back together. After returning to the barracks where he lived, he opened all kinds of information and requests from Chengdu before dinner, and made a reply. Along with these things, there were two relatively important letters, and he opened Shi Shi's letter first.

The information on this letter is relatively soft, except for an implicit love poem at the beginning saying that I miss him, and a general account of the new stage of public opinion confrontation in Chengdu in the middle, as well as some of her selfish handling of the peace, and the end of the letter. , made a report on the questions about Li Rulai explained by Hezhong.

Since it is not clear whether Ning Yi knows the inside story, after careful consideration, the teacher decided to hand over the investigation of this matter to Ning Yi, because if Ning Yi knows, there is no need to mention this matter. If he does not know, this matter The impact of things will be very large.

She finally mentioned whether the intelligence system of the Huaxia Army should run several brothels in Chengdu, Zizhou and others.

After reading the details of Li Rulai's incident, Ning Yi sat there, silent for a long time, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the brothel's suggestion, but his face was still cold.

Fingers tapped lightly on the table, the room was as quiet as ice, and it lasted for a while before Ning Yi put the letter away and opened another letter.

This is from Jin, Lou Shuwan's letter.

This irritable woman had nothing good to say, but most of the conversations were about business. Ning Yi opened the letter and saw that the other party went straight to the point and began to talk about the Northwest issue.

Since the Jurchen went south, the entire Central Plains has been in chaos. By the time the Jin people withdrew their troops for the fourth time, many places had been broken into tatters and could not be recovered.

After several years of fighting in the Xiaocang River, the Northwest was almost slaughtered by the Jurchens. After the Jurchens left, the Zhe family and other warlords who surrendered were left guarding them. But a few years ago, the Zhe family was slaughtered, and the gang had already The prairie people who conquered Xixia entered the Central Plains from there, and later took advantage of the emptiness behind the Jurchen, went north from Yanmen Pass to Jinjing, plundered and returned to the grassland.

And when Nianhan's army went south for the fourth time, it did not let go of the Tiger King of Jin's forces who strongly advocated resistance. Lou Shuwan even burned Wei Sheng to nothing. Up to now, the population north of the Yellow River is still sparsely populated, and many places cannot take care of both.

The Northwest is the gateway to the Central Plains.

After several massacres, there was almost no rooster crowing in that area, only some blood-licking horse bandits and a very small number of refugees still lived in it. It is said that the living environment is harsh, and many places have already belonged to a completely lawless purgatory atmosphere.

After receiving technical assistance from the Huaxia Army, Lou Shuwan was looking for her next home. She set her sights on the prairie people in the northwest and beyond. When sending people in this direction and investigating the surrounding ecology, she already realized that Huge problem here.

If the prairie people moved eastward from here, the original Hengshan line of defense would no longer be in danger. Of course, there are still doubts about whether the grassland people are so vicious or not, and whether they are enemies. They may fight with Jin Guo, they may also be planning Tubo, and they may even become comrades-in-arms. They take a step back and say that even if they enter the Central Plains, they may not necessarily Being able to pose a threat to the land of Jin is like Zou Xu being able to kill the Yellow River. Even if he kills, Lou Shuwan will not be afraid.

But in any case, despite the shortage of manpower, Lou Shuwan is still considering the idea of ​​retaking the northwest, establishing the Hengshan line of defense, and doing business early out of the idea of ​​planning for a rainy day.

Of course, her proposal is quite ingenious. In the letter, she **** talked about the glory days of the Huaxia Army fighting in the Northwest, saying that this is now a land of no man, but the Huaxia Army still has a grand reputation. Ning Yi, should he consider transferring Liu Chengzong's department from Liangshan back to this unowned land in the northwest, and cooperate with Lou Shuwan and Wang Juyun's manpower to jointly develop and jointly manage this fertile land?

The recent year has been the best year in Jindi. Even when talking about major events in letters, she can clearly feel Lou Shuwan's emotional relaxation. She did not really treat the horse bandits in Xixia as enemies. From the past communication and exchange, Ning Yi can feel that she is actually coveting the army of Liangshan.

Jurchen went south for the fourth time, shortly after Tian Shi was assassinated, Zhu Biao and others led more than 10,000 Huaxia Army troops to fight with the Jurchen West Route Army, until Wang Shanyue was trapped in the Daming Mansion. More than 10,000 people went to the rescue, only to be dispersed, but then the remnant soldiers gathered again, in the past two or three years, relying on the autumn wind that hit Jin, they had a hard time, but Lou Shuwan was willing to show his kindness, and lent food The transaction, so why not drooling at Zhu Biao, Liu Chengzong and others.

When the Jurchen Eastern Route Army returned north, they almost got involved with Liangshan again. She even secretly hinted that these people would all come to Jin to take refuge—this woman actually wanted to use all kinds of sugar-coated shells to incorporate this team Huaxia Army.

After taking a little breath, Lou Shuwan wanted to expand to the northwest and reorganize the Hengshan defense line. Perhaps it was a leisurely move, and it was also a tease or test for the southwest—if Zhu Biao, Liu Chengzong and others really came, she would be more able Taking advantage of the cooperation to dig people nearby - but for Ning Yi, from this letter, he felt something else that needs to be taken more seriously.

-Mongolia.

Lou Shuwan despised them. Although she saw the key to the Northwest immediately because of her political acumen, she was not afraid of the prairie people. Even if the prairie people came to compete with her for Hengshan, She subconsciously believed that the tripartite alliance was nothing to worry about.

So what are the prairie people doing? If Lou Shuwan has vaguely felt these...

Ning Yi folded up the letter ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and put the two letters on the table.

Wonderful feeling.

The most important message of the day actually came from letters from two women.

It's not even easy to tell which letter is more important.

He watched quietly and thought for a while, until He Zhicheng came in from the outside and told him to eat fish, then he put away the letter and got up to go out.

The end of the year is approaching.

Lou Shuwan said.

He needs to make a decision early.
