Inside the tent, Li Chang'an looked at Zhao Hu and patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"I don't feel wronged. It's the same no matter where I work."
"Although I can't go to the front lines to fight the enemy, protecting our homes in the rear is also a way of serving the people."
Zhao Hu looked at his teacher and called out.
Among the four generals, he was the most meticulous and the most reliable.
Li Chang'an was mainly training him and managing some of the political affairs of Tai'an City so that he could slack off.
Looking at Zhao Hu's appearance, Li Chang'an seemed to be deep in thought.
Of all his subordinates, only he, his cheap student, could fully understand his thoughts.
Everyone else was confused and only knew that he should sit on the throne.
His words implied that he wanted to be a loyal subject who would follow the emperor's rise to power.
The only person in this world who truly understands his thoughts is probably Zhao Hu.
So Li Chang'an looked at him and said, "From now on, Tai'an City is in your hands. I trust you and Sha Niu to look after it."
Although Li Chang'an transferred all his personal guards to Fujian this time, he was not worried about the safety of Tai'an City.
The existence of the silly girl is not something that can be dealt with by sheer numbers, unlike ordinary people.
"After Tai'an City is completed, I plan to go to the border."
"General Yue wrote a letter some time ago, saying that after Zhang Jiadi left, there were some strange signs in Sichuan."
"After I quell the Japanese pirates, I will make a trip to Sichuan."
"I won't be able to relax like this anymore, sitting outside the city fishing every day. I guess I'll be traveling all over the Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Hu smiled slightly upon hearing this.
My teacher's fishing skills are really nothing to write home about.
Every time we go fishing, we throw in tens of tons of grain to create bait.
Holding a magical fishing rod, it can catch anything except fish.
Every time, it would infuriate the teacher, who would then grab that Gatling gun that was emitting blue flames and spray bullets into the river.
Sometimes, when he got really angry, he would have people dig up the riverbank and drain the water so he could fish.
In Li Chang'an's own words, even if there are no fish in the river, he still wants to bring some snails back with him.
If there are no snails, steal some vegetables that others have planted.
Even if there's absolutely nothing else, you still have to drink some river water before you leave.
The main point is that anglers will never come back empty-handed.
Zhao Hu remembered that Li Chang'an had mentioned finding a small lake and planning to go fishing there.
As a result, dozens of tons of grain were used to fill up the lake.
The fish were buried alive by the grain.
However, he wouldn't say it out loud, since his teacher was also someone who cared about his reputation.
Seeing Zhao Hu smirking, Li Chang'an asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"No, teacher, I was just thinking about happy things."
"What's making you happy?"
Zhao Hu paused for a moment, then immediately said, "It's the main general from Shu. I remember it's General Qin Liangying, the wife of Marquis Zhongzhen Ma Qiancheng."
"Lord Ma died on the battlefield, and General Qin took over her husband's position and stabilized the border."
"He is already over fifty years old, yet he is still guarding the nation's border in Sichuan."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an sighed with emotion: "It's not easy for a woman in her fifties to guard the border. Once I've quelled the Japanese pirates, I'll personally go to Sichuan."
"By the way, let's see if the Shu Road Mountain, known as the number one mountain under heaven, is really that steep and considered the most difficult mountain to climb."
After chatting for a while, Li Chang'an dismissed Zhao Hu and sat alone in the hall to think.
After resting for so long, he became a bit lazy.
The city of Tai'an is now almost finished, and the people are no longer afraid of the army under his command.
This proves that some of his plans are already being implemented in an orderly manner.
What we need to do now is to use Tai'an City as a starting point to promote our ideas to the entire Ming Dynasty.
This is how cities develop one by one.
This will inevitably touch upon the interests of some people. They won't dare to openly resist, but they will secretly do some dirty things in private.
The world is so big, and there are so many people; there are bound to be a few abnormal ones. It's impossible for everyone in the world to be a good person.
But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time to play with them.
Thinking of this, Li Chang'an took out the Hell Lamp from his backpack.
The moment the lamp was taken out, tens of thousands of souls were seen dancing in the firelight, emitting the most tragic wails.
Li Chang'an sat in his chair, watching them scream in agony, and felt that the entire hall was like a paradise on earth.
Among them, the bear, the tiger, and Qin Hui cried out the most painful cries. They arrived earliest, lived in the middle of the flames, and suffered the most intense burning.
Watching them wail, Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little pleased.
In the past six months, he has dealt with many corrupt officials, local thugs and bullies. Each time he adds a soul into the lamp, the flame of the Hell Lamp shines brighter.
The cries of the souls inside will be even more tragic.
This discovery excited Li Chang'an.
In just six months, they collected tens of thousands of souls, turning the light from a small glowing flame into a blazing fire.
Li Chang'an considered himself a kind-hearted person, sometimes even as compassionate as a saint.
He would forgive corrupt officials whose sins were not so serious.
All they had to do was be subjected to slow slicing, and they could die a quick and painless death.
For those whose crimes were more serious, Li Chang'an thoughtfully provided them with a complete set of punishments.
There were a total of eighty-one sets of punishments.
Moreover, Li Chang'an doesn't charge them money; he even provides them with food and lodging.
