Start with a hero

Chapter 154
Time is busy, and it will be 20 days in a blink of an eye.

Li Yizhi has also been busy for 20 days, and he didn't even have much time to treat his injuries, but he finally sorted out everything, among which there are two most important things.

The first thing is the promotion of the new currency.

In order to be able to raise military expenses for the Xiaoguo Army, Li Yizhi put his mind on the treasury.

So he took the sample coins to find Yang Guang, and told Yang Guang that if this set of coins was implemented, they could get more than [-]% of the profit out of thin air.

Seeing that the sample coins are exquisite and can make more than [-]% profit out of thin air, Yang Guang naturally agrees.

Therefore, Li Yizhi minted all the more than 700 million silver and more than 200 million taels of gold in the treasury into new-style coins, and the five baht coins were calculated separately.

In this way, not only did he have enough coins for promotion, but he also made millions in profits.

With millions of taels of silver, Li Yizhi not only made up for the six-month salary of the Xiaoguo Army at one time, but also increased the salary of the entire army, making the soldiers return to their hearts.

The second thing is the great victory of the Yangzhou Army.

Under the leadership of Li Jing, after more than ten days of attack and pursuit, the Jianghuai army was finally defeated, Du Fuwei fled in embarrassment, and it was difficult to become a climate again.

Therefore, Li Yizhi sent a letter to Li Jing, asking him to rush back to Yangzhou as soon as possible after he arranged the affairs in the army.

There is really no way, Li Yizhi's strength has expanded too fast, resulting in an extreme shortage of talents in his hands, whether they are civil servants or generals.

Although the Xiaoguo Army has returned to his heart, he still can't fully trust the generals in the army, so he must have a trustworthy general to lead him, and this person is naturally none other than Li Jing.

Although Luo Tong is still qualified, but now he is the commander of the imperial guards, and his ability is limited, so he can't stand alone for the time being.

As for civil servants, although there are also Tian Wen, Xue Zhen, Gao Shouyi, and those officials from the former General Manager's Mansion.

But to be honest, these people are not considered great talents, and they can't give an overview of the whole situation for Li Yizhi, even Tian Wen.

After all, in the final analysis, Tian Wen was just a teacher and scholar before, and his ability was indeed limited.

This is why, during the past 20 days, Li Yizhi has been busy, sleeping no more than two hours a day.

There is no way, his subordinates are not capable enough, so he can only do it himself.

Although Li Yizhi was busy and tired these days, he could somehow feel that a great fortune had descended on him.

Therefore, even though he did not intentionally heal his injuries during this period of time, his injuries healed extremely quickly, and his cultivation also felt like he was advancing bravely, as if he was not far from a breakthrough.

In Jiangdu, it took Li Yizhi 20 days to fully consolidate the results.

And the general situation of the world is also changing rapidly.

The first is the forces around Jiangdu.

The Jianghuai army was severely damaged; Shen Faxing and Li Zitong were stepping up their siege; Wagangzhai, on Li Mi's suggestion, assembled a large army to march into Xingyang; even the Poyang Society and the Baling Gang south of the Yangtze River were about to move.

Next is the North.

The biggest change was that Li Yuan in Taiyuan finally raised his troops. The banner was to angrily accuse Li Yizhi of holding the emperor hostage, so they wanted to march into Chang'an, assist the acting king Yang You, and welcome Yang Guang back.

Li Yizhi saw the changes in the world, but he didn't respond.

In other words, he can't take any specific measures to deal with it now.

Because of the lack of talents under his command, he had to do everything by himself, and couldn't spare any energy at all.

In order to solve the talent problem, Li Yizhi approached Tian Wen.

Tian Wen pondered and said: "Yizhi, I do have a few good friends who are quite talented. It's just that they are not well-known because they came from a poor family."

Li Yizhi said: "I don't care about fame, as long as I have talent. By the way, Mr. Tian, ​​I remember that you used to run an academy, so you should have quite a few disciples. I think it's better to call them all, and then conduct an assessment. As long as you can pass, you will be given the corresponding position."

Tian Wen hesitated, and said, "It's a bit uncomfortable, after all, they are all my students."

In Li Yizhi's current interest group, Tian Wen belongs to the number one civil servant. If he recruits a large number of his disciples, he may be accused of forming a clique.

Li Yizhi smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Tian don't have to worry, as long as he is talented, no matter what his background is, I dare to use him. After Li Jing comes back, I will order him to attack and start the unification war. At that time, a lot of talents will be needed. Therefore, Mr. Tian must prepare now, so that we don’t want to lay down a place and have no one to manage it.”

Tian Wen nodded solemnly, and then said: "Yizhi, in fact, in Yangzhou, there is a Yangzhou school with a large number of scholars. I am also from this school. They passed me a few days ago and hope to recommend it to you. .It’s just that I hesitated in my heart, so I hesitated to agree. If you can, you can meet them and use your talent.”

Li Yizhi nodded directly, and said, "Well, let's hold a small internal assessment, just like an imperial examination. Those who pass the exam will be retained. You will handle this matter, and I will write the test questions and grade the papers myself."

Actually, it's not that Li Yizhi doesn't want to openly hold the imperial examinations and recruit talents from all over the world.

It's just that the world is chaotic and it's inconvenient to travel, so even if he holds it, only people from Jiangdu County will participate, and it will become a joke in the end.

After dealing with the matter of talent recruitment, Li Yizhi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But Shi Long's arrival and his report made Li Yizhi feel heavy again.

"Yizhi, last night Yang Guang hinted that Temper wanted to win me over, and Lord Yin was also hinted at."

Shi Long said in a deep voice: "Not only that, I also found out that the members of the Dugu family have gone south secretly. Yang Guang also received news from the Dugu family. It seems that they are going to join forces to get rid of you secretly."

Li Yizhi's eyes flickered, and he said softly to himself: "It seems that I was confused by Yang Guang's appearance before. I thought that he had really fallen, so he couldn't see the reality clearly. Now it seems that he is preparing to Keep it in the dark."

After the words fell, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

Although Yu Wenhua and the mutiny awakened Yang Guang.

But Yang Guang is not the same Yang Guang after all, he is a little too naive.

Even if the people from the Dugu family came, so what, he is now firmly in control of the Jiangdu Palace, and he holds nearly 30 troops in his hands. How can Yang Guang be able to overthrow it if he wants to.

However, this matter is a trouble after all, for future hegemony, he does not want to bear the reputation of killing the king.

Seeing that Li Yizhi didn't take it seriously, Shi Long couldn't help reminding: "Yizhi, don't be careless. It is said that this time You Chuhong went south in person, and brought their little phoenix, Dugufeng, from the Dugu family."

Needless to say, You Chuhong, a veteran master who has been famous for decades, is also the number one master of the Dugu Clan, at least he is born in the late stage.

As for Dugufeng, although this woman is young, her martial arts has long surpassed Dugusheng and Duguba of the "Dugu Twins", and she is a master of both schools, and her martial arts are directly catching up with You Chuhong.

Therefore, even if martial arts has not entered the late Xiantian stage, at least it is very close, and it must be above Yuhuahua.
