Li Hu smiled slightly and continued: "The four major classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have always dominated. They are an elite class. They control authority and rule the three major classes of agriculture, industry and commerce. However, in the class of "scholars", there are also rulers and ruled people. Among the rulers, there are also powers, such as civil officials and military officials. The Song Dynasty used civil servants to control military affairs, so the power of military officials was severely weakened and sincerely elbowed."

"In the Song Dynasty, civil servants occupied an absolute position. In our eyes, the Song Dynasty was rich and strong, but it suddenly collapsed. What is the reason? I think Changsun Kangning made a point. Civil servants monopolized power, and their power was out of control. Then corruption was rampant. In this case, no matter how correct the policy was, it would eventually be destroyed by corruption."

"Power needs checks and balances, not checks and balances within civil officials, nor checks and balances between imperial power and ministerial power. Instead, the three-party checks and balances between civil officials, military generals and large landlords and merchants representing different interests. They are checks and balances between different interest groups within the "scholars" who absolutely monopolize the authority."

Luo Sinan suddenly realized that Li Hu had made up his mind to bring the landlords and merchants into the court and form the supreme power structure with three stadiums.

“Big landlords

It is impossible for merchants to enter the court directly, that would be a combination of officials and businessmen, which is absolutely impossible." Li Hu smiled, "There are only civil officials and military generals in the court. The landlords and merchants must let civil officials represent their own interests stand in the court. For example, Fan Zhichang is an example."

Luo Sinan understood it and nodded repeatedly, "I know what to do."

"The next few months will be the implementation of the reform. In the critical period, especially the reform measures of the financial system, not only need to be implemented by experts, but also need to build a group of officials who are proficient in finance to lay a solid foundation for the long-term and continuous reform of the financial system. These grassroots officials can recruit a large number of children of landlords and merchants. Ten or twenty years later, these people will grow up and enter the center of the court, and the highest power structure can gradually enter the reform period."

"Before this, officials like Fan Zhichang who represent the interests of great landlords and big merchants must have, but not too many, so as not to intensify the power struggle. In order to allow big landlords and big merchants to participate in politics and discuss politics, the model of Lishan's political discussion must continue, and be held every three years to ensure the steady progress of the reform of the financial system. In addition, putting the United Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an and giving them certain power is an important means to ensure that big landlords and big merchants participate in politics and discuss politics."

The couple talked about the reforms of many systems, including the financial system, military system, recruitment of scholars, education and other systems. Li Hu had his own immature ideas in many aspects, but he did not have time to stay in Chang'an to convene officials from all walks of life for a long time to discuss, so he could only entrust these things to Luo Sinan.

Today's court composition is too complicated, and it coincides with a period of great change. Middle-earth is in a split and urgent need for unification. Li Hu is unable to do anything. Without the fact that he can control the characters of the Dingzhu who can take the lead in all parties, only Luo Sinan can preside over the state affairs on his behalf. However, Luo Sinan is the princess of the Han Dynasty and does not have the qualifications to preside over the state affairs in law. This makes the situation in Chang'an even more dangerous.

To this end, Li Hu transferred Chu Xiaoyao to Chang'an, Ying Qin to Luoyang, and left Fang Jin and the Six Thousand Hu Guards in the capital. In addition, Wang Dazhong's palace and the guards gave Luo Sinan strong military support.

On the 14th, Li Hu squeezed out some time to chat and have dinner with his wives and children.

Li Mingdao once again

He proposed to follow Li Hu to the battlefield, but this time the wife unanimously opposed it. Li Hu originally planned to persuade Yelu Mingyue, but when he saw the family unanimously opposing it, he had to give up.

Yelu Mingyue planned to let Li Mingdao start his studies officially. On the teacher's issue, she sought Li Hu's opinions. Now everyone knows what Li Mingdao's future is. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the king of Middle-earth. Therefore, this teacher's problem is very important. In the future, his teacher will assist him in governing the country and will definitely become an important official in the court. Therefore, it cannot be casual and must be considered in the long run.

Li Mingdao also studied when he was in Taiyuan. The teacher was Wuyan, but Wuyan would not show up. This time he took the initiative to follow Li Hu to the northwest battlefield, so it would be best to settle the matter for the teacher immediately, and there is no need to delay it.

Li Hu thought for a long time and was the first to recommend Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao and Li Hu were close and a famous scholar in modern times. His wife had no objection, and Li Mingdao was willing, but Li Qingzhao, like Wuyan, would not show up in the court.

Li Hu repeatedly weighed the pros and cons and recommended Fan Zhichang and Changsun Kangning.

This time the ladies

If he disagrees, even Luo Sinan feels that the teacher Li Hu chose for Li Mingdao has obvious tendencies and will definitely affect the government.

Although Fan Zhichang was the grandson of Fan Zhongyan and came from a famous family, he was a descendant of the Yuanyou Party and had been in Xixia for many years. In addition, his financial system reform strategy represented the interests of big landlords and merchants, and was the core of today's court struggle. More importantly, he could not be regarded as a real tiger tyrant.

Not to mention Changsun Kangning, the richest man in Sichuan and Sichuan, it is certain that he was the teacher of Li Mingdao, but the sensation will bring a series of troubles behind it, which will intensify the conflicts between the powers of all parties in Chang'an.

"This is not a teacher who teaches the students alone, nor is it a teacher who is alone." Li Hu smiled, "Get the children of Hulien together and let the children learn from the three teachers."

Luo Sinan and Yelu Mingyue were uneasy and felt that Li Hu's approach was inappropriate, so they asked Dong Xiaochou, Huang She and Chai Yun to be the children's teachers.

"These people are very busy, how can they have time to teach?" Li Hu smiled, "The one who really has time to teach is Mr. Li. Wait until the children grow up

If you are older, you have to go to the Imperial College and the Imperial College to study, so the enlightenment when you were young is very important, which will affect their lives."

"But you can't ignore the impact of your decision on the government." Luo Sinan advised.

"I want to take this opportunity to put heavy pressure on the court." Li Hu said very firmly, "My transformation strategy has encountered considerable resistance from the day it was proposed. This resistance will surely become greater and greater after I leave Chang'an. I invite Fan Zhichang and Changsun Kangning as children's teachers, and I must firmly strengthen the determination of reformers such as Fan Zhichang and Changsun Kangning, so that they can persevere. No matter how much resistance they encounter, don't retreat."

Then he looked at Luo Sinan and said with a smile: "Actually, this is also a firm determination. You have to invite them in person and show your attitude of supporting change, so that I can go to the northwest with confidence. You have no way out and can only face difficulties. This period is the most difficult period of change, the most easily shaken period of changers, and the most intense period of the court game. As long as Changsun Kangning and others persevere, the Western Expedition will be successful. As long as the Western Expedition is successful, the change will continue and the cause of unification will be closer and closer. As long as I unify Middle-earth, no one in this world can stop my major plan of change."

Luo Sinan thought about it for a long time and finally accepted Li Hu's proposal.

On August 15, Li Hu led two thousand tiger guards to Lanzhou.

On the fifth day of the September 19th, Li Hu resisted Lanzhou, Yang Keshi, Yao Pingzhong, Hou Gui, who arrived in advance, and Zhang Gaoer left the city to greet him.

Although the decision of the Western Expedition had been conveyed to the command of the Northwest Army, Yang Keshi and others did not know that the decisive battle of the Western Expedition was to attack Hexi, so they were shocked after hearing all the attack strategies of the Western Expedition. Only then did they know why Li Hu had to go to Lanzhou to command in person.

Yang Keshi and Yao Pingzhong looked at each other, showing a look of shame. They always thought that Li Hu did not believe them, especially after Hou Ge and Zhang Gao'er led their troops to resist Lanzhou, the two sides had a very unhappy relationship because of this misunderstanding.

"We don't know how many troops Zhuo? and the Southern Army Department and the Gansu Army Department have, but in order to capture Zhuo? City as quickly as possible, Xiliang Prefecture and Xuanhua Prefecture were successfully completed.

In the first phase of the attack, we must find ways to force Xingqing Prefecture to draw more troops from Zhuo, Nan and Gansu to support Helan Mountain."

Li Hu pushed the map on the case table to Yang Keshi and Yao Pingzhong, "My idea is to let Yelu Mage attack south in Wulahai City, let Luo Qinghan pull the main force of the Huli Army to Yinchuan City on Linyan Road, threaten Pingxia Road with heavy troops, and then let Zhe Ke find out the Huanqing Road, set up a formation on the Hulu River, threaten Hanhai Road, and make a move to the three sides of our army besiege Helan Mountain. At the same time, you will lead the army of Xihe Road north along the Huangshui River, attack Tubo, and paralyze the Hexi Xia Army."

"Under this situation, the Dangxiang people would think that our first target of attack was Helan Mountain, and our army in Lanzhou was restrained by the Tubo people. They were very likely to draw troops from Hexi to support Helan Mountain. Of course, they might not be fooled and still guard Zhuocheng with heavy troops, but they would not have thought that I would gather 100,000 troops to attack north in Lanzhou and catch them off guard."

Li Hu looked at the two of them and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this strategy?"

Both of them looked at the map, but neither spoke.

"You are familiar with the Northwest battlefield. Your opinions are based on your opinions on how to fight this battle." Li Hu smiled, "I can help you attack Hexi on the entire Northwest battlefield, but the specific strategy for you to attack Hexi is up to you."

Yang Keshi and Yao Pingzhong looked at Li Hu suspiciously, but still didn't say anything.

"Are you used to obeying the court?" Li Hu shook his hand, "This habit is going to be changed. You have the power to command the battlefield. How to fight the war? If you decide, the court will not interfere."

Yang Keshi no longer hesitated and pointed to Xiliang Prefecture on the map. "Master, the key to a battle in Hexi is to capture Xiliang Prefecture. As long as you take down Xiliang Prefecture, you will win this battle."

Li Hu naturally knew that Xiliang Prefecture is located between Zhuocheng and Xuanhua Prefecture. It connects Zhuocheng in the south and Helan Mountain in the north. If the army is blocked from attacking Zhuocheng, then the Xia army of Xuanhua Prefecture and Helan Mountain can support it within a few days and firmly defend Xiliang Prefecture. As long as the Dangxiang people defended Xiliang Prefecture, Helan Mountain and Hexi would become one, and they would be worry-free to advance and retreat. At that time, even if the Tiger Lieutenant Army captured Zhuocheng, it would be meaningless.

"Zhuo? The normal garrison of 50,000 troops in Zhuo City. Even if Xingqing Prefecture draws troops from here, it must ensure the defensive strength of 30,000 troops. With the favorable terrain and tall and strong city walls, even if our 100,000 troops take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Yellow River freezing, we will not be able to take the city in half a month in such a bad weather." Yang Keshi smiled bitterly, "In half a month, the reinforcements of the Dangxiang people have already entered Xiliang Prefecture."
