Chapter 489: Allegiance
"Li Mi is back?"
Chen Guang was not surprised by Li Mi's request for advice. When he came to Qi to report to him, he said that after Li Mi arrived at Huoshao City, he followed Zhang Xun to do a lot of things. Now Huoshao City is so prosperous, and he has also made great efforts.
"Li Mi pays homage to Chen Lang."
When Li Mi saw Chen Guang again, when he saw the light red scar on Chen Guang's face, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. How could they be so savage to the damn Tubo people...
"Changyuan is back. I don't know what he said at the beginning. Anxizu can create a second Guanzhong for the Tang Dynasty!"
Chen Guang did not have any deep prejudice against Li Mi, but when the two first met, he was too weak, so he was very disgusted with the way Li Mi dealt with him, so he seemed quite cold.
But now? He has the capital to change the Tang Dynasty, and his experience of going to Xiao Bolu this time also allows him to understand Li Mi's mentality. As long as he is a human being and has the ability, he wants to control everything in his own hands.
"Chen Lang, your face?"
"But it's just a minor injury, Changyuan doesn't have to care."
Chen Guang was not dissatisfied with the scar on his face. At least now he looked more like a majestic general. Even his wife didn't say anything. Instead, Li Mi and the others always looked at him with regret, which made Chen Guang feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is Changyuan going back this time, is he going to stay and help someone, or go back to Chang'an?"
Chen Guang originally had no big idea about Li Mi, but this time he dealt with Hu Shang, he found that he lacked counselors. Although Li Mi was young, he felt that Li Mi was worthy of recruiting him when he was burning the city.
"I dare not resign as I wish."
Li Mi said respectfully to Chen Guang that in his opinion, he would be more useful in staying in Anxi than returning to Chang'an City. Now that Li Linfu is already declining and has not yet fallen from the position of prime minister, it is just a saint who wants to balance the power in the court. What's more, the prince and the saint are so kind and filial, even if he returns to the Eastern Palace, what can he do!
"Changyuan is indeed a happy person, Anxi is a good place. When we arrive in Suiye Town in the future, Changyuan will show its strengths."
The fire city is just a test field for sunken light. His real purpose has always been Shuye Town. Maybe in the early stage, he needed the Tang Dynasty to shelter him from wind and rain and gain stronger resources and population, but when it comes, he will use his method to let Shuye Town feed back to the Tang Dynasty.
"The Lord, the decline of Hu Shang in the city has already emerged. I don't know how the Lord will arrange it next. If you use Li Mi's place, please give me instructions."
Li Mi quickly corrected his attitude. He didn't mind working for Shen Guang, and he was even looking forward to what he could learn from it.
"Changyuan knows the Municipal Administration Order, and he intends to release the news next. The Jiedu Office will replace all the original Municipal Administration Order's duties."
Listening to Chen Guang's words, Li Mi was stunned, but then he realized that the order of the municipal administration in Wuwei City had probably been bribed by those Hu merchants. Instead of forcing these clerks who have gained benefits from Hu merchants, it would be better to start a new job and start over.
If he had changed to another place, Li Mi would probably think it was a risk, but Wuwei was the capital of the Hexi Jiedushi, and the military, political and financial power were both managed by the Jiedushi. At present, General Wang regarded this Chen Lang as his own son. Not to mention replacing the orders of the mere municipal offices, it would be a trivial matter.
"I was still having a headache about whom I ordered to do this city office to do it. Since Changyuan has come, it just happens to share my worries."
Chen Guang said straight to Li Mi, and after thinking about it, Li Mi agreed, "Okay!" In Huoshaocheng, he had already understood Chen Guang's style of doing things and went straight, and this was much more efficient than the procrastination in the local officialdom in Guanzhong.
"There has been a lot of changes when Changyuan goes to Anxi here."
"When the city was burning, I learned a lot from the magistrate Zhang, and I really made a lot of money.
After drinking a few more drinks, Li Mi said goodbye and left. He planned to go to the western market first to check, and at the same time personally explored whether the municipal government orders were really bad, because Chen Guang's meaning was obviously to remove the entire municipal orders. This is a trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron. Even if the Hu merchants were in a group, to put it bluntly, they were just a group of Gentiles who were doing business in the Tang Dynasty. If they did not regard themselves as Tang people, as long as the court was willing, there would be some way to cure them.
...
"What kind of person is General Chen? What kind of gift should I prepare better?"
Looking at his old friend who had been reunited for a long time, An Chongzhang did not seem to be very close to Guo Ziyi, and he was still as close as when he was in the Shanyu Governor's Office.
"The Lord is a kind and righteous gentleman. Brother An does not need to prepare any gifts. If you ask for anything, just tell the Lord bluntly."
Guo Ziyi did not accept the gifts from his old friend, but instead explained, "Brother An, I am not short of money now. You might as well tell me the truth. Now this Jingdong mall is not just about making money every day. The master and the one who invests a lot every day, and he is afraid of someone..."
An Chongzhang was not angry about Guo Ziyi's refusal, because Guo Ziyi in front of him was one of the few honest gentlemen in the world, so he did not persist.
"So when will you pay a visit to General Chen? Please make a date with Brother Guo!"
"Aye, the Lord is here."
Just when Guo Ziyi was planning to choose a time to recommend this old friend to her lord, she heard her son's whispering outside the study.
Since Li Bai took office, the Guo Qi brothers have been left by Chen Guang by Li Bai, and they often guard the mansion.
"Brother An, let's meet with the lord."
"Wuwei An Chongzhang paid homage to General Chen."
When Chen Guang saw An Chongzhang, he was stunned because the tall middle-aged eyebrows with a slightly brown hair look quite similar to Guo Ziyi. Then he realized that this was probably the friend Guo Ziyi mentioned when he was in the Shanyu Governor's Office.
"General An doesn't have to be too polite."
Chen Guang supported An Chongzhang. Although he was at home and had no official position, he had a great official.
"I have heard Brother Guo talk about General An's deeds long ago. When I see him today, I am indeed well-known."
While speaking, the three of them sat down accordingly. Guo Ziyi did not hide An Chongzhang's intention and told his lord the lord the hope of An Chongzhang's resurrection.
"General An has been in charge of his generation. He will definitely be valued when he becomes an official again, but he doesn't know if General An is willing to come to my Shuye Town to surrender."
Chen Guang was also very direct. An Chongzhang wanted to rise again, but now the elite troops of the four towns gathered in Hexi, and the generals of each division were already full. Although An Chongzhang was once a long time ago, and his family background was considered a high-ranking party in Liangzhou, his father-in-law might not be able to sell this face.
What's more, although he has not had a single horoscope in Shuye Town, this does not prevent him from recruiting talents. Not to mention An Chongzhang himself, the An family behind him is the real big head. You must know that An family is raising horses in Liangzhou, and there is no shortage of animal husbandry talents in the clan, so how could Chen Guang miss it?
"Thank you, General Chen, I'm willing to serve the general."
An Chongzhang did not hesitate. When the An family was founded, it was the Gaomen of Liangzhou when the Tang Dynasty was founded. There were quite a lot of connections in Chang'an City, so he naturally knew that Shen Guang was in the hearts of today's saints. Although General Wang and Jiedushi were famous all over the world, everyone knew that after fighting the battle of Shibao City, they would inevitably return to the court to become an official and hand over the military power.
Only by being able to follow this Chen Lang can you truly ensure that your family will remain strong. Today, I am here. As I thought, An Chongzhang had already bowed and bowed.
