"Old General, you're too kind. However, Ren Gui is indeed very brave, very good at fighting, and very capable of leading troops.”Li Jian praised.
"Your Highness, may I ask…how did Your Highness find such a talented general?”Cheng Yaojin asked hesitantly.
"I have my own way of judging people," Li Jian said indifferently.”
Cheng Yaojin was shocked when he heard this. He knew that he had been rude and hurriedly bowed to leave.
The thousand black-armored soldiers felt like they had come to Bingzhou for a trip and returned empty-handed. Cheng Yaojin felt disappointed and complicated.
He was disappointed because he didn't get to fight, and complicated because of the rise of the acting king.
There were imperial censors in Bingzhou, so they would naturally write a letter to Li Er.
Li Jian's rise would definitely disrupt the power structure and territory of the imperial court.
How should he choose sides in the future? How to observe the wind direction? Cheng Yaojin looked worried.
The power struggle in the court was mainly the struggle for the Eastern Palace. Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince was not stable, and Li Er's attitude was very vague, ambiguous, and uncertain.
It was Li Er's vague attitude that made Li Tai want to replace Li Chengqian.
He was aggressive towards the position of Crown Prince and had already won over a large number of officials in the court.
Now that Li Jian had risen to power, Cheng Yaojin had to walk a tightrope between Li Chengqian and Li Tai to maintain balance. Now, he had to consider Li Jian's factor.
He was slightly gratified that he had gotten to know Li Jian first, which was much better than the others in the court.
Cheng Yaojin returned to Chang 'an with complicated feelings.
…………
Unlike Cheng Yaojin, after defeating Xue Yantuo's cavalry, Li Jian immediately invested in the development of the people's livelihood in Bingzhou.
According to the system's level, Li Jian couldn't activate the technology tree and enter the era of firearms.
However, the daily necessities could still be exchanged!
On the upper right corner of the system's mini-map was the system store. Li Jian opened the store and realized that he could use his ability points to exchange for it.
There weren't many daily necessities that could be exchanged in the mall. The high-level items that could be exchanged needed to reach level 5.5.
Li Jian needed hardy and drought-resistant seeds. To develop the economy and people's livelihood, she needed a lot of food.
With enough food, he could raise more soldiers. Only with more soldiers could he resist the threat of the grasslands alone without relying on the imperial court.
It wasn't that Li Jian didn't want the court's support, but that he had predicted the overwhelming opposition from the court.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai's forces would not let him go. The wind would destroy the tree that stood out in the forest. This was the principle.
If he was too outstanding, he would naturally disrupt the entire political ecology of the Great Tang Empire.
Everything depended on himself. Since he had a platform like Bingzhou, he had to make full use of this platform!
Bingzhou was very big, and Li Jian was the acting king. The acting king's fief was not only in Bingzhou, but also in the five counties of Yanmen Prefecture and Longyou.
Now, Li Jian only controlled Bingzhou. If he controlled the other places, it could be said that he controlled at least one-fifth of the most prosperous areas of the Great Tang Empire!
Right now, the world was split into ten governor's manors, they were respectively the Nanhe, Beihe, Donghe, Shannan, Guannei, Huainan, Jiannan, Jiangnan, Lingnan and Longyou.
The power center was only concentrated in Guannei Road, Longyou Road, and Shannan Road.
There were 54 counties in the Inner Pass Road and five counties in the Longyou Road. They were all within Li Jian's fief.
……
Time flew by, and the years were quiet.
Li Jian had been the governor of Bingzhou for more than two months.
After the autumn harvest, the treasury of Bingzhou was full.
The main reason for the substantial increase in income in the treasury was that the Silk Road was slowly becoming more popular.
What surprised Li Jian was that they had defeated Xue Yantuo's cavalry with an unprecedented victory and sent their Khan Zhenzhu to Chang 'an.
However! Li Er didn't say anything. He didn't reward or deprive Li Jian of his power.
It was as if nothing had happened.
No news was good news! Li Jian had heard this proverb before she transmigrated.
Li Jian was only surprised, but she didn't feel that it was very important. She only focused on the management of the fief.
After Li Jian's hard work, the originally destitute Bingzhou had taken on a new look.
After a strong anti-corruption campaign, corruption from top to bottom in Bingzhou was greatly reduced, and the administration of officials was clear.
In the past two months, Luo Binwang, Wang Bo, and Xue Rengui had worked together to help Li Jian make Bingzhou prosperous.
After the initial business reform, everyone, from shop owners to peddlers, and even those in the martial arts world, praised Li Jian profusely. They respected her from the bottom of their hearts.
The current commercial reform was only the beginning. In time, with the geographical location of the fief, Li Jian believed that the territory of the Great Tang under her rule would soar and far surpass other places.
As the various reforms were carried out, Li Jian's level was also increasing. The more experience points she obtained, the more things she could exchange.
There was a garden in the Provincial Governor's Office. One day, Li Jian was engrossed in reading an official document when suddenly, a black shadow quietly approached from the roof.
"Ding! Danger is approaching!" The system's voice suddenly rang out.
