Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and Yang Erya also looked very happy. Li Mubai continued: "Secondly, in terms of agriculture, the cultivated land that was originally abandoned has been basically restored. In addition, the cultivated land newly reclaimed by government farms and private individuals has exceeded 20%.
One hundred thousand hectares, and this year has good weather and plenty of sunshine, so it will definitely be a bumper year!" He took a breath, swallowed his saliva, and then said: "In addition, mineral mining, fishery development, and animal husbandry have also made great progress. Now,
There are more than 50,000 horses bred in Shanxi's official racecourses, some of which are improved Yanwang horses. In just three months, the official fisheries produced 200,000 jins of fish. The output of all minerals
More than 100,000 jins, 800,000 jins of silver ore, 2.5 million jins of copper ore, and 6.8 million jins of iron ore.”
Yang Peng chuckled, "Okay, these numbers make me happy. I came all the way from the northwest, and the sights I saw and heard are also very gratifying!" Then he frowned, "There's just one thing that's not good. I always feel that no matter it's
Whether it’s a city or a town, the population seems to still be lower than before!”
Li Mubai nodded, "That's true. What my subordinates reported just now are all good situations. The most bad situation is the population problem!" After a pause, "Today's population is still the same as when the Khitans went south.
There is a huge gap, which directly leads to the shortage of manpower in many aspects, such as land reclamation. If there are enough manpower, at least 300,000 hectares of new grain fields can be reclaimed, but now only 200,000 hectares have been reclaimed. In addition, various industries
The shortage of manpower exists in various industries to varying degrees, which in turn hinders the increase in tax revenue!"
After a pause, he continued: "This is a population problem. Another big problem is the huge damage caused by the chaotic war in the past two years! The damage in Bingzhou is relatively small, but in many aspects
The damage was already quite shocking, as can be imagined in other places. Some towns were already in ruins when the Khitans went south. The damage to city walls and houses was secondary, and the most serious damage was that of water canals.
The destruction of the dam will have a long-term catastrophic impact. Fortunately, God has given us good weather this year. If there is something wrong, I am afraid that there will be unimaginable big problems in Shanxi's food production. In the final analysis, it is the water canals and so on.
facilities, so restoring these facilities is a top priority."
Li Mubai talked eloquently. Yang Peng supported his chin with his right hand and listened carefully. He raised his head and said, "What you are talking about is indeed a realistic and urgent problem. In fact, it is not just your Shanxi, Shandong, and Huaihe Rivers.
exists, and the situation in the newly recovered Shaanxi-Gansu region is even more serious. You continue."
"Yes." Li Mubai collected his thoughts and continued: "And if you require restoration and construction, a large amount of funds will be needed!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "This sentence is the problem with the idea! Funds, hey, the money spent in recent times has been worse than running water! The money seized after defeating the enemy has been spent on the place in the blink of an eye.
!" Li Mubai said: "That's still not enough! I believe that agriculture is the foundation of stability. Now that Yanyun has regained Shaanxi and Gansu, the Khitan people are entangled in Goryeo and cannot escape, and Xixia and Tubo have become discouraged.
The imperial court has nothing to be afraid of. It should put aside the conquest for the time being and concentrate on solving problems related to agricultural facilities. As the weather is good this year, we have more than half a year to strive to basically resume agriculture by the beginning of next spring.
All facilities.”
Yang Peng thought for a moment and nodded: "Your suggestion is very good. Let's do this. This year, no, these two years, all tax revenue from various places will be used for infrastructure construction in various places. For places such as Shaanxi and Gansu that have just been recovered,
Prince Yan's Mansion will also spend extra money to help them! Just recently, chief officials from all over the country will come to Yanyun to discuss specific matters." "King Yan is wise!" Li Mubai said, cupping his fists.
Yang Peng looked at Li Mubai with a strange look on his face. Li Mubai felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to ask.
Yang Peng stood up and walked in front of Li Mubai. Li Mubai quickly bowed down. Yang Peng patted Li Mubai on the shoulder and said, "It's better to be more casual in private. Is this a formal occasion?" Li Mubai responded: "Yes.
!" Although he responded like this, he still looked respectful and cautious. Yang Peng couldn't help feeling a little, and suddenly worried that one day in the future, people around him would treat him like this. Wouldn't it be too lonely and too lonely?
Boring? Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly sighed: No wonder the ancient emperors called themselves widowers. If things continue like this, I will become a widower one day!
Suddenly he remembered what happened to Princess Gesang, so he asked: "How did you arrange for Princess Gesang and those people?"
Li Mubai clasped his fists and said: "Following King Yan's instructions, my subordinates arranged for them to live in a courtyard, which was originally a residence of Ambassador Xuanwei. All aspects of provision are in accordance with the princess's treatment. As for their movements, they are only restricted from leaving the city.
, there are no restrictions on others. In addition, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, my subordinates also assigned special personnel to monitor them."
Yang Peng felt relieved when he thought of the two suspicious figures he had seen when the incident happened. He felt funny secretly. At that time, he actually thought it was some guy who coveted beauty and did this nonsense. After a long time, it turned out that
I had misunderstood. I lowered my head and thought for a moment, then asked Li Mubai, "Didn't you send someone to protect them?" Li Mubai shook his head, "That's not true." "From now on, send someone to protect them to ensure their safety.
.""yes!"
Yang Peng thought of those lawless scoundrels and frowned: "The scoundrels in the city must be cleaned up regularly. Although these guys are just fleas and do not do much harm, their impact is not good and we must not tolerate them!"
Li Mubai vaguely felt that something had happened that made King Yan dissatisfied with some of the conditions in Bingzhou. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. He clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates followed the instructions of King Yan! In fact, my subordinates did not condone these scoundrels, but they just couldn't do it."
It's easy to deal with. Although these people often bully people and disturb the place, in the final analysis, what they do is not a big deal. Even if they are arrested, they can only be detained for a few days before being released. And these people have long been accustomed to being in jail and should not be punished at all.
matter, so the processing effect is very limited!"
Yang Peng felt that what Li Mubai said was really the difficulty of this matter. The rogues were very hated and feared by the people, but legally speaking, it was impossible to punish them severely. Although he could make these rogues imprisoned for life with just one word, Yang Peng did not
Before doing this, he felt that the solution should be dealt with legally.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly had an idea. He heard that society has a punishment measure of increasing punishment for recidivists. The so-called incremental punishment means that for the same crime, the punishment will be increased based on the number of offenses committed. For example, hitting someone without reason will increase the punishment for the first time.
Maybe it’s just five days, and the second time the sentence will be increased to one month, the third time the sentence will be increased to one year, and so on. As the number of recidivism increases, what was originally a small crime will later become a serious crime.
It may become a felony, so this approach should be considered a more effective solution.
Thinking of this, Yang Peng expressed his thoughts. Both Li Mubai and Yang Erya felt that it was very novel. Li Mubai thought: "The method proposed by King Yan takes into account all aspects of the situation and should be feasible!"
Yang Peng said: "You can make a special implementation rule for me. After everyone comes, we will discuss it carefully and then put it into practice." "Yes!"
That night, the lights in the palace study were still on, and Yang Peng was still doing official business under the lights. Although there were people to handle specific matters, many things had to be decided by him, the King of Yan. In addition, there were various matters.
Such reports were compiled, including reports on various aspects of the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as the dynamics and intelligence of neighboring countries. Many of these things have been accumulated due to previous battles, so Yang Peng can't be lazy even if he wants to.
Yang Peng picked up a report sent by the martial arts from Goryeo and read it. The report from the martial arts mainly talked about the war in Goryeo: The Battle of Kaijing, which had been stalemate for several months, finally ended.
The allied forces of Korea and Korea once again defeated the Japanese. The Japanese lost nearly half of their lives and retreated to Nanjing (Korea Nanjing is now Seoul, South Korea). The Japanese were reinforcing the city walls in Nanjing to hoard food and grass, and drove all the surrounding Korean people into Nanjing. Their intentions were unknown.
Secret guards have sneaked into Nanjing, but no news has come out yet; in accordance with King Yan's order, our navy attacked the enemy's sea lanes, annihilated a Japanese fleet and a Japanese transport fleet in one fell swoop, and destroyed the ships.
Countless, more than 100,000 Japanese were killed, and countless materials were destroyed. I believe this will be very beneficial to the upcoming attack and battle of Yeji Guanyin!
After Yang Peng read the martial arts report, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
At almost the same time, Ye Qi Guanyin was urging the three armies to go south. Nanjing, which was still entrenched by the main force of the Japanese, formed a overwhelming situation. The Khitan army officers and soldiers were all gearing up to prepare for a battle to completely wipe out the Japanese.
Ye Qi Guanyin arranged the tasks in the big tent, and the generals bowed to Ye Qi Guanyin and filed out. At this moment, Wu Xing rushed into the big tent, and when he saw Ye Qi Guanyin, he clasped his fists with joy and said
: "Princess, I have brought you good news!"
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at Wu Xing, "What's the good news?" Wu Xing handed a letter to Ye Qi Guanyin with a smile. Ye Qi Guanyin took the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it, originally calm.
An expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face, "The Yanyun Navy severely damaged the Japanese fleet and cut off the Japanese's support?!"
Wu Xing smiled and asked: "Princess, do you think this is good news?" After reading the letter.
Yang Erya frowned tightly, looking like she was in a dilemma. When Yang Peng saw this, he couldn't help but wonder what the letter said, so he asked: "What did Princess Gesang say? Haha, I think it must be
To express her deep affection to you?"
Yang Erya said distressedly: "I'm so annoyed, and you still come to make fun of me!" "What makes you so distressed?" Yang Erya handed the letter to Yang Peng. Yang Peng waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is
How can I read the love letter she gave you?" Yang Peng said angrily: "Read it if I tell you to!" Then he put the letter into Yang Peng's hand. Yang Peng picked up the letter and read it.
I couldn't help but laugh at the beginning, because the words and sentences were exactly like a woman pouring out her love and heart to her beloved man. Although it was only a few lines of text, the deep love seemed to be vividly written on the page. Yang Peng originally
She was sighing, but when she thought that the person she was expressing her love to was a woman even more beautiful than herself, she couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Yang Peng smiling, Yang Erya blushed and said: "If you want to laugh, just laugh, hum! If one day you treat me badly, I will really follow her!" Yang Peng teased: "You two
How are we going to have a baby together?" Yang Erya glared at Yang Peng with shame and annoyance.
Yang Peng continued to read. After expressing her love, Princess Gesang extended an invitation to her hero, explaining that tomorrow was a festival there and hoped that General Yang could come to her place to spend the festival with her.
!
Yang Peng put down the letter and asked Yang Erya: "How did you decide?" Yang Erya said distressedly: "I just don't know what to do!" He looked at Yang Peng and poked Yang Peng's waist and eyes with his finger, "
Come and think of a solution for me!" Yang Peng held Yang Erya's slender hand, hugged her slender waist and sat down, "You, you think this simple thing is too complicated! She invited you to go
Banquet, just go to the banquet, why do you have to think so much! Just go to the banquet in this women's dress. When he sees you like this, he will understand everything. Don't say too much, just be polite to her.
The sentence came back!"
Yang Erya blinked his big clear eyes and said: "Is it that simple?" Yang Erya smiled and said: "It's not complicated in the first place!" Yang Erya turned around and grabbed Yang Peng's arm and begged: "Then big brother
You go with me!" Yang Peng chuckled and joked: "Our Yanyun general Yang Erya is actually afraid of that Tubo princess. I'm afraid no one will believe this!" Yang Erya frowned and said: "I
It's not that I'm afraid of her, I am, I am..." She herself couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Yang Erya gently patted her buttocks and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you think, big brother will accompany you tomorrow!" Yang Erya smiled, "Brother, you are so kind!" Yang Peng laughed and said: "
It’s not easy being your big brother, and I actually have to help you deal with those women who are fascinated by you!”
Yang Erya wrinkled her beautiful nose towards Yang Peng, with a cute and innocent look. Yang Peng couldn't help but kissed her red lips, and Yang Erya's eyes immediately became blurred.
Her face was brightly red, and a pair of delicate hands couldn't help but hooked Yang Peng's neck. Let Ai Lang taste her red lips, and she herself was deeply trapped in the sea of love and desire, unable to extricate herself.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door. Yang Erya, who was intoxicated with sex, came to his senses in shock and hurriedly left Yang Peng's arms. As soon as he stood up, he saw the secret guard captain Wang Kai running away.
He came in and handed over a letter in a red envelope, "Master, a red urgent message forwarded from Yanjing!" The so-called red urgent message is a level of internal messaging within Yanyun. All messages are ranked according to their urgency and impact.
From low to high, they are divided into normal, blue, yellow and red. Red urgent cases often represent the most urgent or influential events, and the relationship is of great importance.
Yang Peng and Yang Erya were very surprised when they saw it was a red emergency. Yang Erya stepped forward to receive the emergency and handed it over to Yang Peng. Only then did Wang Kai notice Yang Erya, who was carefully dressed up in palace clothes.
I couldn't help being stunned, and it took me a while to come back to my senses. I felt that I was rude, and I quickly lowered my head and heard my heart pounding.
Yang Peng opened the letter, took out the letter paper, opened it and read it, his expression suddenly changed, "How could such a thing happen?" Yang Erya asked nervously: "What happened?" Yang Peng frowned and said:
"The emperor of the Liao Kingdom died suddenly!" Yang Erya was stunned and frowned: "In less than three years, three emperors of the Liao Kingdom actually died!?"
Yang Peng said: "If you say there is no ghost in this, I'm afraid even a fool will not believe it!" Yang Peng couldn't help but think of the Queen Mother of Korea and Brother Ye Qianxiu. Could it be that they were responsible for what happened this time? Then he thought of Xin
Another piece of information mentioned above is that although the Emperor of Liao has passed away, almost no one in the country knows about it. The Liao court keeps secrets and tightly blocks the news. Yan Yun also learned this information by chance.
However, the spies sent to Beijing could not confirm the accuracy of this news.
Yang Peng lowered his head and thought: If this news is wrong and the Emperor of Liao is still there, but this news is definitely not groundless, then what is the purpose of the rumor? If it is true, who planned the conspiracy and what is the purpose?
What? The purpose of regicide should be very simple, just to seize the throne! So who is it?
Yang Peng's first thought was Brother Yeqianxiu and the Queen Mother of Korea, but Yang Peng was not sure. There were many people in Liao who held great power and were qualified to inherit the throne. In addition to Brother Yeqianxiu, there was also Yeqianhu City.
And Ye Qian Guanyin, in addition, Ye Qian Longqing and others may also do this.
Yang Peng suddenly felt worried that the Khitan's war against the Japanese would be affected by the domestic situation.
Yang Peng's worries were actually fulfilled at this time. In the camp of Yeqi Guanyin far away in Goryeo, Yeqi Guanyin received an urgent order from Zhongjing, ordering her to withdraw her troops immediately. Yeqi Guanyin and her
All the generals under his command were greatly confused. Ye Qi Guanyin asked the imperial envoy: "Why did your Majesty suddenly order the troops to withdraw?"
The imperial envoy said: "The villain's affairs are based on the decree and I don't know anything about the rest. Princess, since your majesty's order has been issued, please ask the king to retreat as soon as possible!" Ye Qi Guanyin hesitated, shook his head and said: "No, I can't retreat!
"The imperial envoy was startled, "Princess, you want to disobey me?" Ye Qi Guanyin frowned, and the warrior Xiao Bao next to him shouted: "How brave! You, a little servant, actually dare to speak to the princess like this!"
When the imperial envoy saw the generals glaring angrily, he was frightened to death. He hurriedly kowtowed and said: "I have no intention of offending your Majesty! I would never dare!" Ye Qi Guanyin said calmly: "It doesn't matter if it is true or not. I will not retreat.
This is not to disobey orders, but to make a decision based on the current situation. The city of Nanjing is about to be destroyed. If we retreat at this moment, all our previous achievements will be wasted. How can I retreat? I will not accept your orders. Go back and deal with His Majesty for me.
He said, after the Japanese are completely defeated, I will naturally go back and apologize to Your Majesty!"
The imperial envoy did not dare to say anything more and kowtowed: "I will definitely bring the princess's words to you! I will leave!" Then he stood up, bowed and retreated. Ye Qi Guanyin frowned, and her heart was filled with confusion:
Why did Your Majesty suddenly receive such an edict? What is going on? Why did Your Majesty suddenly become so confused?
A thought crossed his mind: 'Did His Majesty change his mind and no longer want to eradicate internal troubles? His Majesty even became suspicious of me?' Ye Qi Guanyin thought it was very possible. This kind of thing is really common among the royal family.
, Besides, the emperor's heart is the most fickle. Although she and the emperor had made arrangements for that important matter before, no one could guarantee whether he would suddenly change his mind. Otherwise, such an incredible edict came.
, this edict shows that the emperor has changed his mind!
Ye Qi Guanyin sighed secretly, hesitated, wrote a letter, sealed it, and said to Baochong: "Xiao Baochong, please take this letter back to Zhongjing immediately and give it to His Majesty!" He handed the letter over.
Go out. Xiao Bao rushed forward to take the letter, accepted the letter, and left quickly.
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at the generals and said decisively: "I have already made up my mind that I will never destroy the Japanese until I destroy them. I hope that all generals will work together with me and do not look forward or backward! Otherwise, military law will be ruthless!"
The generals' hearts trembled, and they all worshiped together: "Follow the princess's orders closely, and we will never dare to disobey!"
"Send the order and attack the city overnight!" Soon after, the silent night was broken. The Khitan army and the Goryeo army attacked Nanjing from three sides. The battle was more intense than during the day. The Nanjing city wall was crumbling and was in danger! In the early morning of the next day, the battle continued.
The fierce battle continued until noon. There were mountains of corpses under the city wall and corpses on the city wall. The losses on both sides were huge, and the Japanese still couldn't hold on any longer!
But at this moment, countless Goryeo people were pushed to the top of the city by the Japanese, and the cries of the old, weak, women and children were earth-shattering. The Khitan army and the Goryeo army that were attacking the city couldn't help but stop their attack. The Goryeo army officers and soldiers were filled with grief and anger, and they wished they could
The Japanese were beaten to pieces, but their fellow countrymen were standing in front of them. How could they dare to take action? The Khitan army could not attack. Naturally, they would not care about the life and death of the Goryeo people. However, if a large number of Goryeo people were killed or injured during the attack, they would be afraid.
There was a problem with the Goryeo Army, so it was too late to take action.
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at the Goryeo people who were crying on the top of the city, frowned and cursed: "These Japanese are so despicable and cruel!" Then he turned around and shouted loudly: "Send the order, the whole army retreats!"
The golden bell rang loudly, and the Khitan army retreated like an ebbing tide, and the Koryeo army also retreated. Sasuro Shigeo couldn't help but feel very proud when he saw that his plan had succeeded.
When Ye Qi Guanyin returned to the tent, she suddenly stopped and stood blankly, frowning. Seeing this, the generals did not dare to disturb her and stood quietly behind her.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
