"Let her prolong the peace talks as long as possible, preferably for two or three months, to buy time for the six legions!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Aunt Hua accepted the order and then said with a hint of doubt,
"Then may I ask, Peak Master, how will the personnel responsible for receiving the Daqian imperial envoy be arranged?"
Li Qingfeng thought about it and decided that the most suitable candidate would naturally be his wife Wang Ruyi.
However, Wang Ruyi has already begun to hand over the government affairs of Yangzhou and will come to Jinling soon, so it is naturally not easy for him to be responsible for this matter.
Who should be sent then?
It was naturally impossible for him to go there by himself, as he still had to maintain the status of the lord of the Great Wu.
Moreover, Li Qingfeng was a person who valued his life. If there were a few people with ulterior motives lurking in the delegation, it would be a bad thing if they were accidentally killed or injured.
If Zhao Dagou is left alive, which legion commander will be appointed?
Li Qingfeng shook his head slightly. These rough guys were fine for fighting, but if they were asked to argue with the civil officials, a fight might actually break out, which would affect his plan.
After pondering for a long time, Qingfeng Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at Aunt Hua, I asked,
"What is Wang Ziteng doing recently?"
Aunt Hua was slightly taken aback, but still replied,
"Wang Ziteng recently sent out invitations to the Wang family, inviting all the big and small families in Jinling to discuss the training class."
Qingfeng Li nodded slightly.
There is naturally no room for compromise in the Qingfeng Nine Articles, and the class of gentry and aristocrats must be eliminated.
However, after Li Qingfeng took over Jinling, his power began to expand rapidly.
He also didn't mind giving up some irrelevant interests to those people as a transitional step.
Once his foundation is stabilized, he will be able to free up his hands to vigorously promote cultural education and re-screen officials.
All of Wang Ziteng's actions were Li Qingfeng sending this signal to those people.
There are many smart people among them. Now that their original privileges and interests are destined to disappear, they will inevitably turn their attention to the rising regime of Qingfengzhai.
Although it was a bit frustrating for Qingfeng Li, this was the kind of compromise that politics requires.
It is impossible for him to just focus on conquering cities and ignore the livelihood of the local people.
It is also impossible to occupy Nanjing without taking any action, and spend several years or even more than ten years to increase its internal foundation. By that time, it will be too late.
Therefore, Qingfeng Li's expansion is necessary!
In the absence of a large number of political talents, it is also necessary to make necessary compromises with the class with the largest number of educated people.
However, Qingfeng Li had a large army at his disposal.
Those scholars who are about to be employed in large numbers will only be allowed to take office after they have passed a certain ideological transformation assessment.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about the instability of one's power.
Then he asked Aunt Hua,
"How many qualified scholars has Wang Ziteng gathered now?"
Aunt Hua replied respectfully,
"According to Wang Ziteng's report, the major families have already recruited and registered over a thousand scholars."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Li touched his chin and nodded.
"Yes, this is beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that after I gave out some benefits, these people would be attracted to them like flies to honey."
Aunt Hua echoed,
"What the Peak Master said is true, but no matter how much those people plot, I don't understand what kind of re-education they will receive!"
Qingfeng Li chuckled and thought for a moment before saying,
"Ruyi has also recruited over 300 scholars in Yangzhou. They will be sent there in two days. They will be trained together with the ones in Jinling City. Please take care of this matter."
Speaking of the more than 300 scholars in Yangzhou, Li Qingfeng was also helpless.
Yangzhou is a famous scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River. Since ancient times, it has produced many talented people, a flourishing cultural heritage, and a huge number of scholars.
However, when Qingfengzhai rose in Yangzhou, it killed many gentry and wealthy families with a history of bad deeds.
