Although this battle was a complete victory, there was still some regret, that is, Yuwen Tuo escaped.
The armies searched the city carefully for three days, but could not find Yuwen Tuo.
Xiao Jingxuan did not pay too much attention to this. Yuwen Tuo was stubborn and could not become a great weapon. He did not pose a great threat to himself.
Among the younger generation of Yuwen Clan, only one Yuwen Yue is pretty good and can pose a threat to him.
After two days of rest in Yizhou, Xiao Jingxuan began to prepare for the class. However, before the class, he still needed to make arrangements.
The location of Illinois is too remote and far away from the Central Plains, which is not conducive to the next expansion.
Therefore, Xiao Jingxuan ordered people to go to Yizhou to convey an order to move all the official offices of the palace to Yingzhou. From now on, the royal capital of the Yan Kingdom will be temporarily located in Yingzhou.
After the decree was issued, early the next morning, Xiao Jingxuan took the pro-army, pro-guard battalion, and tiger and leopard cavalry, totaling more than 28,000 people, to start reorganizing and marching towards Yingzhou.
This march was different from previous ones because there was an extra carriage in the marching team, and Xiao Jingxuan, the commander of the three armies, did not appear in the marching team.
It turned out that Xiao Jingxuan gave up riding at this time and got into the carriage. In the carriage, besides Xiao Jingxuan, there was another woman, the saint of Xuanyin Palace, Zhao Waner.
At this time, Xiao Jingxuan felt a little uneasy. He didn't know if Yang Yi would kill him after going back. After all, he was in the wrong, and he couldn't beat Yang Yi.
When Xiao Jingxuan returned to Yingzhou, personnel from various government offices and palaces in Yizhou did not arrive, which made Xiao Jingxuan secretly relieved.
There is no royal palace in Yingzhou, and Xiao Jingxuan had been working in the city guard's palace before.
Because this place was about to become a royal palace, Xiao Jingxuan could only merge the mansions near the City Shou Mansion into the City Shou Mansion, and then find craftsmen to make simple repairs.
Ten days later, Yang Yi took Xiao Jingxuan's children to Yingzhou under the protection of the pro-military army.
Jam Hsiao personally came to the palace gate to greet everyone. When Jam Hsiao saw his children, he ran over excitedly.
He picked up his eldest daughter and son, one on the left and the other on the right. As for the younger daughter, she was too young now, so she was taken care of by the maid. The group of people happily went to the harem.
In the harem, Xiao Jingxuan sat on a soft couch, teasing his youngest daughter carefully, while the eldest daughter and eldest son climbed on Xiao Jingxuan's body. The scene was very warm.
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's deep father-daughter love there, Yang Yi said angrily.
"Humph, if you want, then come in."
After hearing what Yang Yi said, Xiao Jingxuan felt extremely embarrassed for a moment, so he quickly denied it.
"What do you mean? The words are incomprehensible."
Yang Yi sneered and said, "Well, just think I'm talking nonsense."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan immediately said humbly: "Goodbye, Madam is open-minded, so let's leave it all to Madam's arrangements."
Seeing Xiao Jingxuan like this, Yang Yi couldn't say anything for a while. She could only get sulky.
The next day, Zhao Waner was brought into the palace from outside the palace in a small sedan with four people. There were not many people accompanying her, and the scene was quite shabby.
But there is no way, even if Xiao Jingxuan is the leader of a country, she is a concubine after all, so she cannot be too grand.
Besides, as a princess, Yang Yi's wedding was not very grand. She just had a banquet with the ministers in the government hall.
After Zhao Waner entered the palace, she was arranged by Yang Yi to a palace on the west side. (Although it is called a palace, it is actually a courtyard.)
Maybe it was Yang Yi's intention. The palaces of the two of them were in the east and west, and they were far apart from each other.
That night, Xiao Jingxuan hosted a banquet to entertain the important officials of the court, and a wedding banquet was completed.
That night, Xiao Jingxuan rested in Zhao Waner's palace.
Early the next morning, Xiao Jingxuan went to the front court to handle official business. After Zhao Waner tidied up her appearance, she went to greet Yang Yi. The etiquette was still impeccable.
Yang Yi didn't have a good impression of Zhao Waner, but she didn't make things difficult. After the two chatted for a few words, Zhao Waner asked her to leave.
Xiao Jingxuan did not hide what happened in the harem. Regarding this, Xiao Jingxuan could only pretend to be confused.
Nowadays, the territory under Xiao Jingxuan has expanded a lot. There are almost more than 20 cities and towns, and the army in hand has reached an astonishing more than 200,000. Among the countries, it can be regarded as a powerful country.
Originally, among the countries, Wei was still the strongest and Yan was the weakest. However, after this war, Yan's strength also shocked all the countries.
Among the countries, Liang and Chu are the most barren, but now Zhao is about to be strengthened.
Among the many state capitals of Zhao State, only Youbian Prefecture is the richest and is the granary of Zhao State.
Now that Youzhou has been taken away by Xiao Jingxuan, Bingzhou has also been exposed to Xiao Jingxuan's military strength. It can be said that its strength has been greatly reduced.
And the strength of Yan State, which obtained Youzhou, suddenly became stronger. Youzhou not only has fertile land, but also a large population.
Especially the population, this Xiao Jingxuan solved the problem of soldiers and also brought a lot of tax revenue to Xiao Jingxuan.
Now, Xiao Jingxuan asked Wang Zhiyi to patrol Youji Prefecture, and at the same time sent his cabinet minister Zhang Siming to take charge of Hengyi Prefecture. It can be said that he did not take it seriously.
However, the problems in these places are still very serious. First of all, there are many wealthy families and heavy taxes.
There are very few civilians in these places, and most of the people are tenant farmers and the like.
This is also the reason why Xiao Jingxuan sent two important ministers. Xiao Jingxuan has only one strategy for those aristocratic families, and that is to suppress them.
These wealthy families are deeply rooted in the local area and have many servants to protect their homes.
Xiao Jingxuan's first order was to collect weapons from the wealthy families. Especially armor, crossbows, and swords.
Xiao Jingxuan stipulated that in the Yan Kingdom, common people are allowed to carry swords, but all other weapons must be handed over. Those who dare to keep them privately will be severely punished.
The second item is taxation. Xiao Jingxuan stipulates that all land taxes are thirty to one tax, and violators will be severely punished.
At the same time, a heavy tax was imposed on brothels, gambling houses and restaurants within the territory, with a tax rate of 20% per 10%, while other businesses were taxed 10% per 10%.
The third is population. Nowadays, the number of people in Yan and Wei is not large.
Xiao Jingxuan ordered to recruit a large number of refugees from Youji and other places to move to these places.
At the same time, many young indigenous people were mobilized from the Wei area and sent to these places to build bridges, pave roads, and build city walls.
In order to ensure that Youji and other places could implement the New Deal well, Xiao Jingxuan sent a large number of secret guards to assist Wang Zhiyi and Zhang Siming.
It just so happened that Xiao Jingxuan also planned to take this opportunity to observe the two of them carefully to see who was more in line with his own wishes.
This attack on Zhao took more than three months. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, Xiao Jingxuan began to conduct overt and covert inspections near the capital.
Xiao Jingxuan took his three nephews to a mountain village on the outskirts of Yingzhou for a stroll.
Among the three, the eldest is Xiao Ruike, the son of his eldest brother Xiao Jingye. He is now twelve years old.
The second eldest child is his cheap eldest brother, the son of the current emperor of Wei State, Anling Wang Yang Tan. He is now eleven years old.
The youngest third child is Xiao Jingtang’s son Xiao Ruiping, who is only six years old now.
Regarding his three nephews, Jam Hsiao is sometimes quite helpless. Because he is away from home all year round, Jam Hsiao does not have many opportunities to see them. Therefore, the three nephews are quite afraid of Jam Hsiao.
In the past, Xiao Jingxuan arranged for the masters of Xuanyin Palace to protect the safety of the three people. Now, Zhao Waner has become his concubine, and the relationship between the two parties has become closer, so these masters returned to the mountain gate.
After finding a shady place, Xiao Jingxuan and the three of them quietly leaned against the big tree, sat in the shade, and looked at the people in the distance who were busy harvesting food.
Xiao Jingxuan pointed at these common people and said: "These are the common people who are regarded as ants by the wealthy and powerful families. One day, after you take power, you must treat them well."
"I will follow my uncle's teachings."
Seeing the respectful looks of the three people, Xiao Jingxuan shook his head and continued.
"You don't need to be so careful. Your elders entrusted you to me so that I can treat you well and save your lives in troubled times. They are not being used as hostages or anything like that."
"Then can I still see my father?"
Seeing Prince Anling's hopeful look, Xiao Jingxuan did not answer directly.
"Tan'er, do you know how much your father paid for me to take you in? It took almost hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass and tens of thousands of refugees to get me to agree. If he writes me a letter, hoping that you will go back, I will
Will not stop it."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jingxuan looked at Xiao Ruiping and Xiao Ruike.
"The same goes for you. If your grandfather writes a letter asking you to go back, I will not stop you. You three remember that I am your uncle, not your enemy. That is enough."
That night, Xiao Jingxuan took his three nephews to experience the flavor of farm food. And that night, he took the three of them to sleep outdoors.
In this way, the uncle and nephew stayed in the countryside for three days, and then they returned to Yingzhou.
After a few days of getting along, the relationship between the four of them has finally become much closer. The three nephews finally looked at Xiao Jingxuan with less fear and more respect.
