Cao Lingzhong, the Protector of Beiting, was a loyal general of the Tang Dynasty and an experienced general who was good at conquering and fighting.
It was Cao Lingzhong's lifelong wish to be promoted to the position of Protector of Beiting. After getting his wish, he was naturally very happy.
However, this Grand Protector was not good at civil affairs. This time when Beiting suffered a disaster, he immediately reported the disaster situation to King Jianning and asked the Longyou Governor's Office to assist in disaster relief.
Cao Lingzhong's original idea was to ask King Jianning to send one or two officials who were good at civil affairs to assist him in disaster relief work in Tingzhou.
Then Cao Lingzhong could cheat and ask King Jianning to keep these people in Tingzhou. After all, it was okay to let him fight the war, but not to develop the economy.
Tingzhou could not develop originally. The main reason was that Tingzhou was a border state and was often invaded by the Uighurs.
Tingzhou needs to defend against the Uighurs. The annual military expenditure is an astronomical amount. It would be good if the people can have enough to eat.
But things are different now. The Uighurs are obedient, and the original disadvantage has become an advantage.
The trade between Longyou and the Uighurs was booming. Those Gaochang merchants who brought camels and horses to the Uighurs were able to bring back large amounts of gold and silver livestock.
Tingzhou was obviously closer to the Uighurs than Gaochang, so Cao Lingzhong was worried.
But he is a rough old man who really doesn't know how to manage money.
Unexpectedly, after Cao Lingzhong's letter asking for help was sent to King Jianning, King Jianning actually came to Tingzhou to provide disaster relief.
This moment frightened Cao Lingzhong so much that he kept wondering if he had made King Jianning unhappy in some way.
However, after Li Yan arrived in Tingzhou City, he immediately began to organize people to carry out disaster relief work.
Only then did Cao Lingzhong feel relieved. It seemed that King Jianning was really here to provide relief.
After arriving in Tingzhou, Cao Lingzhong simply handed over the civil affairs to the people brought by King Jianning.
At this time, the role of a senior official comes into play.
After Li Mi arrived in Tingzhou, he quickly took up the government affairs of Tingzhou and quickly arranged disaster relief affairs.
The food brought by Li Yan was quickly distributed, and the players brought by Li Yan were also mobilized, and a vigorous disaster relief work was launched.
Li Mi first opened porridge sheds inside and outside Tingzhou City, and hired some strong people to maintain order in the porridge sheds.
Li Mi opened the military camps and government offices and resettled the people whose houses had been crushed.
Then Li Mi mobilized the Beiting Army to go out of the city to cut wood and store enough firewood for the winter, which immediately made the disaster relief work orderly.
Whether it is a player or an aboriginal official, Li Mi can arrange his tasks in detail, and then regularly check their work progress. The disaster relief work progresses quickly and orderly.
Li Yan exclaimed that he had made a profit. Using the scoring method of a strategy game, people like Li Mi were civil servants with perfect internal affairs skills.
Li Mi was busy with disaster relief, but Li Yan lived peacefully in the military camp and watched Cao Lingzhong train his cavalry.
Beiting is the source of Longyou cavalry, and Li Yan also sent a large number of generals and players here for training.
The cavalry, as the most mobile force in the classical era, gradually disappeared from the battlefield until the emergence of mechanized troops.
Even in the First World War when aircraft and tanks first appeared, cavalry also performed brilliantly on many battlefields.
Therefore, in Li Yan's view, cavalry is still an important arm of Longyou, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is the leading arm of this era, and there is no reason to give up this advantage.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
After seeing Cao Lingzhong training cavalry, Li Yan finally understood why an elite cavalry could become a decisive force on the battlefield.
Cavalry training is so difficult!
Riding, archery, and polearms, a good cavalry must be proficient in them all.
Just controlling the war horse beneath you requires a lot of practice, and this practice process is not only dangerous, but also requires wear and tear on the war horse.
Li Yan personally watched two players fall off their horses during training and were almost trampled to death by horse hooves.
But in this day and age, the price of a war horse is about the same as a sports car.
Li Yan watched a war horse break its front hoof during training. Such fatal injuries cannot be treated in modern times. The logistics officer in charge of the war horse broke the good horse, and the atmosphere of the entire training ground was changed.
Very depressing.
Cao Lingzhong, an experienced general who was good at leading troops, had minimized the losses, but there were still a lot of losses.
Li Yan returned to the military camp, and it was finally December.
He opened the system and saw that the summary of last month had come out.
[Prince title: 200 points per month]
[Captain Longyou: 300 points per month]
[Deputy Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses: 500 points per month]
[Control the Beiting Protectorate: 400 points per month]
[Affect Anxi Protectorate: 200 points per month]
[Affect Mobei Grassland: 400 points per month]
[Jisui Tuyuhun: 300 points per month]
[Included with Tu Shi Qi: 200 points per month]
[Jisui Modong Grassland: 200 points per month]
[Construct Tongliao City: 100 points per month]
[Longyou scholar became famous in the capital: 1000 points]
[Economic penetration into Lingzhou: 300 points]
[Instigating the Pinglu Mutiny: 500 points]
[The total increase in luck points is 6100 points, and the balance of luck points in October is 320 points. The host currently has 6420 luck points. 】
Li Yan smiled, progress in the Northeast was going smoothly, and the players in Chang'an also brought glory to Long You.
According to Li Yan's conjecture, this luck point may be the popular support point of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
The more people you win, the more luck points you can get.
Wang Chengwei's success in the examination also gave the world a new understanding of Longyou's literary governance, thus gaining luck points.
Last month, after raising the treatment price by recovering contribution points, the balance of payments was also controlled.
However, seeing that there was no telling when a war would break out in the Northeast, Li Yan did not dare to recruit too many players.
"System, summon two thousand new players."
[As you wish, there are currently 11,061 players in the game.]
The number of gamers exceeded 10,000, which gave Li Yan a sense of security.
Nowadays, players are not limited to Longyou. Players like Li Daoyuan have gone to Yangzhou, and the number of players entering the northeast of Chang'an and Luoyang is also increasing.
When so many players began to spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, the originally abundant manpower seemed to be stretched thin.
Sure enough, there are never enough players.
Occupy more territory, increase Longyou's influence, and recruit more players.
If we can occupy Pinglu Town, we can also get a lot of stable luck points, right?
Looking at the map, Li Yan's eyes were filled with passion.
However, yesterday Yuchi wrote a letter saying that Songmo in Yingzhou also suffered from the same snow disaster and that the army could not launch an attack in winter.
It seems that we still have to wait until spring before we can truly implement the great detour strategy!
In addition to the Northeast region, Chang'an is also a good place to farm luck points.
As long as Longyou can become famous, he should be able to gain luck points.
It seems that more players should be encouraged to enter Chang'an City!
Moreover, Li Yan also had another idea. Back then, Sima Yi "Yin raised three thousand dead men and scattered them in the world. Even if they were gathered together in one day, no one would know where they were."
If three thousand dead warrior players are arranged in Chang'an, if there is a change in Chang'an, these players can also play an important role in seizing the heir.
Not to mention that the soldiers he raises are not ordinary dead soldiers. Players are capable of both civil and military skills, but are they no better than the dead soldiers raised by Sima Yi?
"System, I want to release some new expansion packs!"
【As you wish.】
While old players were waiting for new players to enter the game, the system's voice rang in the ears of all players:
[New information - "The Wind Rises in Chang'an"]
[Chang'an City, the heart of the Tang Empire, has been recovered, and King Jianning needs to install his own forces in Chang'an.]
[King Jianning encourages capable players to enter Chang'an. Players in Chang'an will receive the following rewards:]
[Official players: Players who can obtain official status in Chang'an can receive 1.5 times the professional experience value reward! 】
[Inner Guard Players: Establish an underground espionage network in Chang'an. Inner Guard players who provide effective intelligence can receive 1.5 times professional experience rewards! ]
[Merchant players: When the profits from trade with Chang'an are turned over, you will receive 1.5 times the professional experience reward! 】
[General players: can enter the army in Chang'an. Depending on the army, they will receive different experience rewards. Among them, the Shence Army, the East Palace Tenth Rate, and the Nanyafu soldiers can receive 1.5 times the experience reward, and the other local troops can receive 1.2 times the experience reward.
award.】
[Attention! Living in Chang'an is not easy, please consider it carefully. 】
As soon as this news came out, players were shocked again.
Planner Gou has hidden it deep enough! He quietly launched a "new qualification film"!
However, some high-end players have already speculated. After all, the huge and real Chang'an City in the "game" is definitely not a background. Sure enough, the focus of player development in the next stage will be Chang'an City.
But as the system prompts, it is not easy to gain a foothold in Chang'an.
How many nobles and nobles are waiting for Men Yin to join the officialdom in Chang'an? It is very difficult to become a minor official in Chang'an.
Several important units in the capital also have strict requirements for soldiers, and they also require children of the common people in the capital and Sanfu areas. It is very difficult for those from Longyou to join.
It is even more difficult to develop internal security in Chang'an. Just settling in Chang'an will cost a lot of money, not to mention buying informants to build an intelligence network.
Therefore, the experience value is tempting, and ordinary players have no idea of going to Chang'an yet.
After solving the "system" matter, Li Yan received another piece of good news.
The player Wei Yuan has completed the formulation of the new calendar, and the latest calendrical almanac has been published in volumes. Wei Yuan has set out for Chang'an with these volumes to prepare to present the new calendar at the Zhengdan Grand Meeting on the first day of next month.
Wei Yuan's new calendar is based on the "Time Calendar" of the Yuan Dynasty, which is more accurate than the "Dayan Calendar" compiled during the Emperor's period.
With the gift presented to his father and new players recruited, Li Yan was naturally in a very happy mood.
According to Li Mi's report, the disaster in Tingzhou was not as serious as expected. Except for the loss of some livestock, there were not many casualties.
On the contrary, because of the snowstorm, more Uighur herdsmen fled to Tingzhou.
There has been an agreement between Datang and the Uighurs, and these fleeing herdsmen cannot be accepted casually.
However, Li Mi still opened some porridge shacks on the border to help the Uighur victims.
At the same time, the emperor and the emperor's carriage finally arrived in front of Chang'an.
