Dachuan Kingdom and Dashun Kingdom both had their own internal conflicts, but at this time, the Great Zhou Kingdom was stable and peaceful.
Especially Bai Yutian, the frequent wars in a short period of time have finally ended, and he can have fun with the concubines.
Bai Yutian was also very tired from being tense for a long time.
Of course, he didn't forget about it.
At this time, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was less than one-third of its peak period, and many territories were still under the rule of foreign countries. How could Bai Yutian relax?
At the same time, the mighty general Jing Zhao finally retired with great success. After returning this time, he finally stepped down from his post and passed the position of governor to Jing Ling.
And he himself went to take care of himself.
The old general Jing Zhao worked hard for the Zhou Dynasty all his life and went through many hardships. Bai Yutian originally planned to build the most luxurious mansion in Tailin City for Jing Zhao to live in, but Jing Zhao refused.
Jing Zhao has always disliked extravagance and waste. For him, a house that can provide shelter from wind and rain is enough.
Finally, Jing Zhao returned to his original Jing Mansion.
One month later.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yuncheng and Lord You Kan are back!" Lin Yuan's voice came from outside.
Bai Yutian got up immediately. He asked Yuncheng and You Kan to go to the southeastern states to understand what had happened during this period, and at the same time implement the national policies of the Zhou Dynasty and promote reforms. He originally thought it would take a year and a half, but it didn't happen.
I thought I would be back so soon.
Bai Yutian ordered Yuncheng and You Kan to enter the palace to report their duties. The two of them rushed to the palace before their buttocks were warm.
This was the first time You Kan came to the palace, and he felt a little nervous.
However, after seeing Yuncheng's forehead calm and calm, he gradually stabilized his mentality.
Even Yuncheng, a young man, was so calm, so how could he have the nerve to be nervous.
Dian Wei came back with Yuncheng Youkan, but after Dian Wei returned to Tailin City, he separated from Yuncheng and others.
As Bai Yutian's personal bodyguard and Dragon Guard commander, Dian Wei is very dedicated and conscientious.
"His Majesty!"
In the imperial study, Yuncheng and You Kan met Bai Yutian.
Seeing that the two wanted to salute, Bai Yutian stopped them, "Hahaha, no need to salute. Tell me about your situation in the southeastern states."
After hearing this, Yuncheng and You Kan immediately started talking to each other. Jiangnan has beautiful scenery and rich assets. Although they were short of time, they also traveled to many places.
Listening to the scenery described by the two, Bai Yutian also felt a little yearned for it.
There are many beautiful scenery in the hinterland of Dazhou. He has visited many places and seen a lot of scenery this year.
However, Bai Yutian still yearns for Jiangnan very much.
Of course, besides the scenery, the most important thing is their mission.
Yuncheng and You Kan kept saying that after they entered the southeast, they hardly stopped at all and were on the road every day.
When the southeastern states heard about the arrival of the Zhou Dynasty, they were very excited and directly arranged a meeting place with Yuncheng and others.
Therefore, Yuncheng and others did not visit the ten southeastern states and met the governors of all the states.
The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty had weak control over the southeastern states, but these places were still obedient, at least they would not openly contradict the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, the southeastern states actually have a lot of problems. The original natural and man-made disasters also affected the southeastern states to some extent, and many refugees fled there, causing great trouble.
Coupled with the forest bandits and coastal sea monsters that existed before, the people's lives were in poverty and development was stagnant.
Therefore, they also urgently need help from the court.
"Your Majesty, the thieves in the southeastern forest area and the sea monsters in the coastal areas must be dealt with as soon as possible." Yuncheng said seriously.
The southeastern states chose to rely on the imperial court because of thieves and sea monsters. However, if the imperial court could not solve the problem, I am afraid that the southeastern states would also escape from the control of the Zhou Dynasty.
"Yeah!" Bai Yutian nodded.
These are all problems that have existed since he first crossed over. When he went to court for the first time, the ministers came to give advice and raised many questions at once.
Bai Yutian also had great ambitions and high spirits at that time, so he set out to solve these problems.
The famine, which was originally thought to be the most difficult to solve, was solved first. Later, the natural disasters gradually disappeared, making all parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty gradually stabilized.
The only ones left now are thieves and sea monsters.
The thieves in the southeastern mountains and forests are far more difficult to deal with than the bandits in the north of the Yangtze River. These thieves have not only formed a considerable scale, but also have strong appeal and execution power, which is almost the same as the army.
Most of the thieves were composed of refugees from Longxi and other parts of the Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning, they often robbed the local rich and powerful.
But later on, these thieves didn't even let ordinary people go. Anyone who was targeted by them had to pay some price.
Moreover, the thieves also committed many acts of robbing women, seeking wealth and killing them.
As for those sea monsters, according to the people who survived, they are monsters that can stand like humans, but have scales all over their bodies and dark brown skin. They are called monsters because they can swim in the sea and have excellent water properties.
sea monster.
Sea monsters are extremely aggressive. They not only hurt people at sea, but sometimes they also come to the shore to hurt people.
Since last year, sea monsters have caused heavy casualties to people along the coast, and most ships have been destroyed.
Yuncheng also brought back a large number of portraits of sea monsters. Seeing these portraits, Bai Yutian somehow remembered the great monster he had seen in the ancestral tomb.
After the fall of the Zhou Sheng Emperor, no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty had seen the Great Demon again, and there were no even rumors about the Great Demon.
These creatures such as mountain spirits and sea monsters have all become records in myths.
Bai Yutian originally didn't believe in these creatures, but what he saw in the ancestral tomb and the power of the black beads made him change his mind.
This world is different from his original world, and there may be some secrets in it.
The sea monster on this portrait seems to be somewhat similar to the big monster seen in the ancestral tomb.
Bai Yutian attached great importance to these matters. He quickly held an emergency meeting and discussed with his close ministers how to solve the problem.
As for thieves in the mountains and forests, they can send out troops to deal with them.
The thieves in the southeastern mountains and forests are difficult to deal with, not that they are impossible to deal with.
In the past, because the countries surrounding the Great Zhou Kingdom were watching eagerly and there was a danger of war breaking out at any time, Bai Yutian was unable to send troops to quell it.
But now that the Zhou Dynasty was temporarily free from the war, it was completely possible to send troops to quell the bandit rebellion.
When Bai Yutian announced the news, Kou Wang and Jing Ling immediately began to compete for this task.
This time, Kou Wang first put down the rebellion in Dachuan Kingdom and finally suppressed Jing Ling for once. Of course, he wanted to continue suppressing Jing Ling.
Naturally, Jing Ling was not to be outdone, and wanted to prove himself again by putting down the thieves' rebellion.
"Hahaha, you two don't have to fight. Each of you will lead 10,000 troops and go to quell the bandit rebellion." Bai Yutian announced.
