Chapter 399 Growth under pressure

Half a month later, everything Hong Yuan experienced turned into a letter, and the stack of yellowed account books, which arrived in the side hall where Li Qing handled government affairs in Tai Chi Palace.

The things were sent by Lei Wanchun. Hong Yuan knew that he was a small county magistrate and would definitely not develop the bad habit of giving memorials to the emperor directly, so he patiently gave the situation of Dongmu's arrest to Lei Wanchun.

He didn't know how far Lei Wanchun could solve it, but according to Hong Yuan's guess, if nothing else, at least the military pay for these people should be given more or less.

"Your Majesty, according to Hong Yuan's statement, Dongmu's current capture is indeed terrible. If we don't help, they will not have any combat power."

Lei Wanchun is still able to stand on Hong Yuan's side in this matter. A novice county magistrate is already upset enough. It is impossible for ordinary people to bear such a big burden to him.

"I didn't ask him to develop any combat effectiveness in the short term. In this way, you can send him a letter and ask him to give you a list of the current Dongmu guards, and start giving military pay according to the list he provided."

"Then... what should we do if these old debts are?"

"Tell Hong Yuan that it's invalid. From today on, this team will become whatever it can in his hands. Are there two warships that still dock on the shore although they haven't moved for more than ten years? If he can put these two warships into the sea, I will also give him the maintenance costs of the warships. If it doesn't work, there will still be no money!"

Lei Wanchun was originally a person who was not surprised by his favor and disgrace, but when he saw that Li Yan was so embarrassed, Hong Yuan was a little embarrassed for a while.

But he moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, because Lei Wanchun was the kind of person who didn't say anything but knew what he knew. He understood that Li Wen must want to exercise Hong Yuan.

Even if the military expenditure of a thousand people is actually much better than when they had nothing before. Although it was quite different from what Hong Yuan thought, Lei Wanchun also understood that he had a good attitude and could do some things with this money.

Of course, Lei Wanchun, who understood Li Yong's painstaking efforts, felt sorry for the Dongmu Chashou who had been forgotten for at least ten years, and he also made some adjustments. He sent a three-month military salary of 1,000 people to Hong Yuan, and told Hong Yuan that if there were less than a thousand soldiers on the registration, the money would not be refunded. If there were more than one thousand people, he would be able to make up when Hong Yuan sent the list.

What Lei Wanchun did naturally could not escape Li Qing's eyes, and Lei Wanchun didn't want to hide it from it.

"Your Majesty, do you want to develop the navy of my Tang Dynasty?"

What Li Neng did to Du Huangshang was secretly done by Yan Zhuang, but he kept it open to Hong Yuan. Zhang Xun naturally knew about these things.

If you want to say that the most literary and martial arts official positions in the Tang Dynasty is Zhang Xun. In fact, Zhang Xun was a bit similar to Hong Yuan when he was young, and he did not have any martial arts skills, but he had a lot of knowledge about military books and war strategies, so he became famous in Suiyang.

When Zhang Xun saw Li Qing’s series of arrangements for Hong Yuan, he felt vaguely in his heart that Li Qing wanted to cultivate Hong Yuan according to his own way.

Of course he could see that, because both himself and Xu Yuan, Liu Yan and others were already quite old.

In recent years, not only the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has declined, but also no talents have been selected for the imperial examination. Although Li Yan did not express his dissatisfaction clearly, Zhang Xun vaguely felt that this was definitely one of the reasons why Li Yan wanted to strictly investigate the Ministry of Personnel.

Hong Yuan and Du Huangshang were the first batch of talents to emerge from the Tang Dynasty at this time, and they can be said to be top talents. It is normal for Li Qing to pay attention to it. Moreover, Zhang Xun also saw something different from Li Qing's series of arrangements for Hong Yuan.

"You can understand that training Hongyuan is indeed just an opportunity. According to my understanding, the navy of the Tang Dynasty was still good before. In just a few decades, it has retreated to a situation where almost no warship is available. Naturally, I cannot sit still and wait for death, otherwise what has the tribes on the other side of the ocean developed into? How can I know?"

"But one Hongyuan can really revitalize the entire Dongmu Captain? I think he should be allowed to manage Huang County well so as not to backfire!"

Zhang Xun made different opinions here, obviously for Hong Yuan's sake. Zhang Xun read his article repeatedly. Hong Yuan is indeed better than when he and Xu Yuan were younger.

But Zhang Xun also started working little by little as the county magistrate. He understood the truth about it. Once Hong Yuan involved too many things, the consequences of young people being unable to withstand the pressure would be very terrible.

"I think the two of them should still have some ability to bear pressure. Now, under the control of you, I don't have to worry about it for the time being. But outside the court, I really have no one to be able to do except for a few generals, so they must grow up as soon as possible. Now the Tang Dynasty's naval army has shrunk into this. It is a good opportunity to start from scratch. I believe that Hong Yuan can still bring me some surprises. In addition to him, Zhang Chong can still hold his troops in the garrison with his subordinates after more than ten years. No matter how capable he is, he is always a loyal minister. Such a person cannot make him feel cold. So in my opinion, Hong Yuan is not fighting alone. You haven't seen the face that General Lei is helping him in different ways? Hong Yuan is different from Du Huangshang and has never experienced the officialdom. In this process, he has to believe in the officialdom!"

Since Li Yan had already thought of this step, Zhang Xun naturally had nothing to say, and he was just arguing.

He also knew that the most important thing he was at the moment was not to pay attention to Hong Yuan, but to assist Liu Yan in investigating the Ministry of Personnel. As the investigation deepened, even a person as capable as Liu Yan was a little lacking in energy, because the Ministry of Personnel involved too many facts. If no one helped him, Liu Yan might have investigated himself as he checked.

Investigate the Ministry of Personnel, abolish the Jiedushi, find Shi Siming, and revive the Tang Dynasty naval army...

This seems to be a matter of no connection between each other, but in Li Yi's head, it has been stringed in a string, but others don't know that Li Yi has a lofty goal, and this goal has never been seen by any emperor in ancient times.
