Chapter 53 Qingcheng takes office

Xu Wei also tested Li Chengliang's scheming. After all, Zhou Mengchen wanted Li Chengliang to take over the intelligence network in Qingcheng. He found that Li Chengliang was very smart and could be called the wise man.

So Li Chengliang also passed Xu Wei's hurdle and sent it to Zhou Mengchen.

Li Chengliang said, "Sir, Li serves the country without hesitation of life and death."

For Li Chengliang, there is still a choice. He immediately knew what to choose.

Of course, he is an experienced official, because he is a civil servant, and he is a seventh-rank civil servant. He is very easy to make contributions. It goes without saying how big the difference between civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty is, why Li Chengliang worked hard to study for a scholar? Although the test in Liaodong is easier than that in Jiangnan, it is not easy to take any scholar.

Isn’t it just that I want to follow the literature or the martial arts?

Congwen may not have a day to lead troops to fight in the future, but what if Congwu is awarded a title? Unless his family is very rich, he will still be a lackey under civil servants. For example, Ma Fang has always been very respectful to Zhou Mengchen, and even if he is awarded a title, there will be no change.

Originally, Li Chengliang had already calmed down his mind as a civil servant for the rest of his life. After all, a scholar could not even be a second-rank official. At most, he could not be promoted in his entire life.

But now, there is a sudden opportunity to directly exercise power as a seventh-rank official and have a broad future in the future. As for what to enter the cabinet and what to become the governor of the Shangshu, Li Chengliang never thought that as long as he could become a fourth- and fifth-rank official in his life, his Li family would be considered to be a literati and official circle in the future. It would be much easier for his children to take the imperial examinations in the future.

As for why it is much easier for children to take the imperial examination after getting involved in the civil service circle, it is a secret that everyone knows.

For this, he was not afraid of danger at all.

First, there is no danger in fighting. Second, Li Chengliang is also very skilled and brave. Although Zhou Mengchen said that even if he was discovered, he could not kill even if he was found, Li Chengliang had his own conspiracy. It was really not possible. He took one step forward and left Qingcheng's walls. With Li Chengliang's ability, he could not be able to travel alone for thousands of miles.

Speaking of which, the danger is limited.

Since this is the case, when will it not be fought?

After hearing Li Chengliang say this, Zhou Mengchen didn't say anything. After all, this matter must be done by someone, and it is becoming increasingly impossible to delay.

After all, Shanxi merchants were worried that the Tartars would not keep their promises and did not dare to go far when they went out to pass the customs, which was to come back to Qingcheng. But it may not be the case in the future. Zhou Mengchen never dared to underestimate the merchant's determination and courage to take risks for profits. Therefore, when he experienced the position of an official, he could not always be vacant.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Since that's the case, you go out later and go to see Mr. Xu, and he will explain how you did it."

Li Chengliang said, "The official understands."

Zhou Mengchen said, "This trip is very dangerous. I am ugly. I can make any requests now. I agree to everything I can."

Li Chengliang said: "Sir, although it is dangerous for the officials to go there, the court will provide their own pensions. The officials do not care about their requests. However, the officials now have a child. I am worried that the children will not have any support after the officials go there. Can I let my child become a teacher?"

Li Chengliang said this very skillfully, which made Zhou Mengchen feel embarrassed if he didn't agree.

Zhou Mengchen said: "I told Mr. Xu that there should be no problem."

Li Chengliang was overjoyed and said, "I have no regrets when I die in such a state of vain."

In fact, Li Chengliang had thought before that his son would become Zhou Mengchen as his teacher. First, the child was too young, Jiajing was born in 28 years old, and now he is only five years old. Second, Zhou Mengchen seems to have never accepted disciples recently, so he dared not speak rashly, but it would be good if he wanted to come to Xu Wei.

A talented man from Jiangnan and a master of literary circles. With this teacher, the possibility of Li Rusong being admitted to the Jinshi in the future will greatly increase.

Li Chengliang made his statement in Zhou Mengchen and then went to Xu Wei to receive the task.

Xu Wei also knew that Li Rusong was his disciple. Although Xu Wei had no interest in teaching Li Rusong, the little kid, Zhou Mengchen had already agreed. He couldn't refuse, so he simply found a scholar to let Li Rusong go. Only professors could teach disciples, that would be a future matter.

However, for the sake of this disciple, he had a good attitude towards Li Chengliang, so he explained the situation in Qingcheng to Li Chengliang in detail. It is best to say: "You have only been in Qingcheng for a few years. First, you have been in Qingcheng and strive to defend the interests of the court. Second, you are in secret, and third, you are promoting the rebellion of the Tartars at critical moments."

"Other than that, you can make a decision."

When Li Chengliang heard this, he felt that the passionate blood was hot in his heart. He was not an ordinary person. The more dangerous the matter was, the more excited he was. He responded to that sentence, wealth and honor were in danger.

Li Chengliang felt that his lifelong wealth was in this Qingcheng.

Li Chengliang could not wait. After settling down at home, he immediately headed north.

There is nothing to say in Datong. He looks like he is building a large scale of construction and is trying to resist drought. Seeing this situation, Li Chengliang couldn't help but admire Zhou Mengchen a little more. On the one hand, he admired his love for the people, and on the other hand, he admired Zhou Mengchen's ability to govern the people.

Needless to say, the love for the people is the heart.

If Zhou Mengchen had no desire to love the people, how could he launch so many water conservancy projects urgently? Almost consumed the treasury. The ability to govern the people is also very simple. It is easy to make decisions in many things, but it is difficult to implement them. Now the entire Datong is a major construction, but there are not too many chaos, which shows Zhou Mengchen's ability.

In fact, this is also the help of a large number of students from Datong Academy. Almost every project has students from Datong Academy, which saves Zhou Mengchen a lot of effort.

But when Li Chengliang passed by Yulin, he immediately felt different.

Mongolia's people's livelihood is withering.

Li Chengliang is from Tieling and is not far from the grassland. When he was young, he had not been to the grassland. He had his own understanding of the grassland ecology. He could see that the grassland seemed to be green, but if you look closely, you will know that the grassland is different. It is because of the water source.

Although Li Chengliang had never been to the grassland before, he knew that it was not a normal phenomenon.

After all, the part close to the side wall is the best grassland in the south of the desert.

Li Chengliang immediately thought: "The drought in Datong is very serious, and how can the south of the Mo River not be affected by disasters? It's just that the time is not the time." Li Chengliang remembered Xu Wei's special explanation, and had to make a long-term plan forcing the anti-Tartars and wait for orders. At least this year will not work.

This year's drought has affected military operations.

However, Li Chengliang was very clear about the habits of the Tartars. Once the Tartars encountered such a big drought, they would do very limited things. The biggest possibility was to send troops south. Thinking of Datong, which was under construction, Li Chengliang suddenly felt that this task might be a bit tricky.

Be careful to become the person used by the Tatar cavalry to sacrifice the flag.

The more Li Chengliang walked north, the more worried he became.

Because he saw several cars, a dozen strong men, and some old and weak teams were heading south. When they saw Li Chengliang and his group, they became alert and bent their bows and draw their swords. Li Chengliang put down his weapons, went alone, and asked about the situation.

As expected, Li Chengliang thought.

There are two ways for the Tartars to grazle. One is that thousands of people grazed and migrated together. This model is actually the military organization model of the Tartars. The two are one and two, and one. The other is that they are based on the scale of families. There are only a dozen people in a family. There are not many animals.

When Temujin became rich, this was the production model.

However, as the grassland war continued, these scattered household registrations were merged and were no longer common. Moreover, the family grazing on the grassland sounded very pastoral. But in fact, once something happened, they would die silently.

These people are called Wild Tartars.

In fact, there are not too many. The fragility of family production causes them to not bear too many risks. It is rare. Li Chengliang saw it today. He actually saw that this is not a wild Tartar. Wild Tartars are generally poor, and they are some Mongolian herders who have separated from their tribes.

So what made these Mongolian herders escape from the tribe?
