Wen Anzhi seems a little anxious these days.
The Northern Expedition was imminent, and he needed to personally take care of all the big and small matters.
Even a man who made iron and cast copper couldn't handle it.
In particular, he was not very satisfied with some detailed work and had to give some guidance himself.
Just when he was extremely busy, Li Dingguo asked to see him.
After thinking about it for a while, Wen Anzhi decided to summon him.
But it was said that Li Dingguo respectfully performed a military salute after seeing Wen An.
Wen Anzhi helped him up and said with a harmonious smile: "Dingguo, what's important?"
"Reporting to Lord Futai, the person sent by the last general has received a reply."
Li Dingguo said with a humble attitude.
"Oh so fast" Wen Anzhi was still a little surprised.
"What did he say?"
Wen Anzhi asked slowly while twirling his beard.
"Qicheng is willing to serve the imperial court, but" "Nothing" Rich experience told Wen An that the last part was the key, so he asked more questions.
"He put forward a condition, saying that as long as Master Futai agrees to this condition, he will serve you without hesitation."
Li Dingguo swallowed and continued: "He wants to ask your Majesty to promise that he will be the only food supplier to the Sichuan Army after the event is completed."
Wen Anzhi couldn't help but gasped when he heard this condition.
This guy's appetite is really quite big.
The only food supplier for the entire Sichuan Army, what is the difference between this and a monopoly?
Although the money to buy grain was not provided by Wen Anzhi, it was provided by the imperial court.
Doesn't this mean that the court will be taken advantage of?
The more Wen Anzhi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
His Majesty had great trust in him and appointed him as governor of Sichuan.
How could he do such a thing behind His Majesty’s back?
"Dingguo, what do you think about this matter?"
Wen Anzhi suddenly asked the question to Li Dingguo, which shocked him.
But since the governor asked a question, he naturally had to answer it.
Li Dingguo took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"Reporting to Lord Futai, I think I might as well agree to this guy's terms first."
Li Dingguo paused and then continued: "First, stabilize him to work for the court, and then after the matter is completed," "etc" Wen Anzhi couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
"You mean to make me regret the promise I made before?"
Li Dingguo's face turned red and he said, "That's not what the general meant."
Wen Anzhi sighed.
Regardless of whether Li Dingguo meant that or not, he still wanted to use some methods outside of principles.
This may not be a problem among the former Daxi Army.
But it's a big problem when it comes to the court.
"The imperial court is the imperial court, and what the imperial court says cannot be easily changed."
Wen Anzhi thought about it for a while and then said seriously: "It's like your Majesty issued an imperial edict.
After it was issued, he felt it was inappropriate and had to withdraw it and reissue it.
Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Master Futai, the general is stupid."
Li Dingguo quickly confessed.
"The imperial court needs to have prestige."
Wen Anzhi pointed out the key to the problem.
"If the imperial court has no prestige, how can it be trusted by the people of the world?

In Sichuan, Benfu represents the imperial court.
Therefore, I am very cautious in everything I say and do, for fear that others will take advantage of it to criticize the imperial court."
Wen Anzhi paused and then said: "As long as I don't promise this time, if I do, I must keep my promise.
Otherwise, the prestige of the imperial court will be lost
