Within a few months of his ascension to the throne, Yanjing was officially established as the capital, and Yanjing Province was renamed Gyeonggi Road, and its jurisdiction included the old Liao Nanjing Province and part of Zhongjing Province. However, because the Yanjing City Pond was quite dilapidated, it was only used as a military center for the time being, and Tanggu, which was very close to Yanjing, became the temporary administrative center of the Han Dynasty.

After the establishment of Gyeonggi Road, the major administrative regions were re-demarcated, of which the northeast was divided into two roads, the north was Andongdong Road, the capital was Huanglong, the south was Andongnan Road, and the capital was Liaoyang. Yuguan and the south of Gyeonggi Road are divided into five roads, namely: Shandong Road, the capital Jinan; Hedong Road, the capital of Taiyuan; The original Yongxing Military Road of the Northern Song Dynasty was renamed Shaanxi Road, and the capital was Chang'an; Qinfeng Road is still known as Fengxiang, the capital; Hebei East and West Road is Hebei Road, which is directly subordinate to Tanggu. The overseas islands are another set of management systems, which are directly under the central government, and Mayi has set up the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate to control the Nanyang Islands. In addition, there are five directly administered areas of Jinmen, Liaokou, Lanzhou, Huaizikou, and Luoyang, as well as seven military regions: Linxia (Liu Qi), Weinan (Chongyansong), Northern Jin (Quduan), Yellow River (Cao Guangbi), Lunan (Zhao Li), Donghai (Ouyang Shi), and Bohai (Aluman).

Among the administrative districts, Andongnan-ro and Hey-ro are the two wings of Gyeonggi.

In this era, because the man-made diversion of the Yellow River did not take place, the ecological environment in Hebei was generally good – at least much stronger than Yang Yingqi remembered. With a population of millions, the ecological pressure on this region is not very heavy, and the numerous rivers and rivers provide unique favorable conditions for agricultural development.

Compared with the Hebei Plain, the economy and politics of the Liaohe River basin have long been on track. In the past ten years, Hebei has been repeatedly ravaged by wars and bad governments, but after all, this region is the homeland of China, and its roots are extremely deep, and once there is a good political environment, the reconstruction and rise of the entire region will be very fast. Chen Zhenghui expects: It only takes three years for Hebei to catch up with Liaodong, and only five years for Hebei to surpass Liaodong.

Chen Zhenghui's optimism is partly due to rational considerations, and partly due to the current favorable situation on Hebei's east-west road - of course, this good situation is in general. In some remote areas, or in areas that have been particularly devastated by the fighting, many things still seem very difficult. Among them, the officials in Zhending and Zhongshan have been particularly criticized for governing the people's livelihood.

The officials in this area were expressed by Liu Cao, a major general of the Han army, who was demoted to Liu Cao when he marched north last year, and the officials were all old-fashioned styles. Now Qu Duan has migrated to Taiyuan, but Liu Cao still stays in Zhending and has become the leader of the local officials in this area.

After the pacification of Yanjing, the old Jin and the old Liao Shizi who entered the Han Dynasty were divided into several factions, one of which was directly dependent on Han Fang and had the greatest power. The other faction had contact with the officials in Tanggu before Yanjing was down, and they were also appointed after entering the Han Dynasty, but they were not united by the former faction. The last faction, that is, the one that was entered by Jin into Han but not valued by Han Fang, was mostly united under Liu Cao's banner.

Liu Cao's father Liu Yanzong had a lot of friendship with Han Fang, and Han Fang had also strategically shown to Liu Cao to win over before Yanjing was undecided, so Liu Cao would have Han Fang's letter in his hand. But in terms of personal likes and dislikes, Han Fang looked down on Liu Cao himself, and Liu Cao also knew this, which was one of the reasons why he didn't really agree to Han Fang in the first place. It wasn't until Qu Duan drove to the foot of Zhending City that Liu Cao knew that this choice could not be delayed any longer. He attached himself to Quduan in a timely manner, and received the support of this important general in the northwest, and since then he has also been in contact with the Han military.

Zhending and Zhongshan, where Liu Cao and other officials were located, were themselves frontier mansions in the Northern Song Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty pacified the two rivers and unified the Qin and Jin dynasties, it became the only way for Yanjing and Tanggu to lead to Taiyuan and even Chang'an. Liu Cao is despised by Han Fang because of his greedy character, but such a person is very economical. He took advantage of the geographical location of Zhending and Zhongshan, and used his influence in this region and his relationship with Quduan to create a business path that was not quite consistent with Yang Yingqi's vision, but was more effective. Under his covert manipulation, there was soon an economic interaction between Taiyuan and Zhending, and the region's minerals, especially coal, flowed into Tanggu by land and water, displacing southern Liaoning as the largest supplier of minerals to the Gyeonggi market in just three months.

Consistent with this economic rise, the taxes in Zhending, Zhongshan and other places were reported to the central government in the first half of the year, indicating that they had overfulfilled the annual tax task. And the merchants controlled by Liu Cao and other officials are even more prosperous.

Liu Cao not only has a way to make money, but also has a way to use money, although he is greedy, he also knows how to be greedy. Under his leadership, officials of all sizes in Zhending and Zhongshan united and handed over a part of the profits, on the one hand, they were courting officials of all sizes in Yanjing and Tanggu, and they were especially attentive to Han Fang, and on the other hand, they were able to form a military backup.

There are nearly five stations in the northwest of Zhending, and from here to Taiyuan are the defense lines that Quduan is responsible for—that is, one of the most important defense lines of the Han army. The generals brought here from Shaanxi by Qu Duan are considered to be relatively warlord habits in the entire system of the Han army. Taiyuan was originally under the governance of Cao Guangbi and Yu Qi, and most of the forces in the political circles, business circles, and local gentry had a close relationship with Cao Guangbi, who was transferred to the Yellow River, and Yu Qi, who was transferred to the central government. In this case, Liu Cao's approach made the generals see a way to make money, and the civilian clique led by him used the influence of the military attache group led by Qu Duan in this region to mine minerals and monopolize trade routes; And the military attache clique also used this financial route to enrich itself.

After the generals of the northern Jin Dynasty have money in their hands, they can buy good horses and good soldiers, hire dead spies, and the northern Jin army of the Quduan Department is getting stronger and stronger. And the Northern Jin Army, which made contributions, became Liu Cao's solid backing. The military and the political sides colluded with each other in this area, and soon a powerful local power was formed.

The strength of the Northern Jin Army not only reassured Zhi Yanchong, but also made Yang Yingqi rely on him - he was working internal reforms, and he needed such a barrier too much. The discerning people in the central government knew what Liu Cao did, Chen Xian was particularly dissatisfied with this, but Han Fang pretended to be confused.

At this time, the central government of the Han Dynasty was newly established, and many systems were still in the process of being perfected, and several central officials were in charge of the important affairs of the departments in addition to the important affairs of the department, and they also led the government affairs of the first road, including Chen Xian led Hebei, Zhang Hao led Andongnan Road, Chen Zhenghui led Shandong, and Han Fang led Jinggi. After the center moved westward, Yang Pu served as the warden of the North Anhui Road as the vice premier, and no longer dealt with the affairs of the central government. Liu Cao's sphere of influence was dominated by Zhending and Zhongshan in Hebei, extending eastward to the Pingding Army in Hedong, and northward to Yizhou and Fanyang on the Gyeonggi Road, at the junction of Han Fang and Chen Xian's supervision range. Although Han Fang didn't like Liu Cao, he tolerated him because of his origins and Liu Cao's understanding of filial piety. But Chen Xian and Liu Cao have no origins, how can Liu Cao be allowed to do his own thing within the scope of his supervision? What's more, although the taxes of Zhending and Zhongshan have come up and the armaments have been consolidated, the people's livelihood advertised by the Han Dynasty is very problematic. So Chen Xian used this to attack Liu Cao and asked Yang Yingqi to remove the officials in this area.

After listening to Chen Xian's words, Yang Yingqi asked rhetorically: "Liu Cao's background, I want to come to Chen Lao to know." Does Old Chen think it's appropriate to move him at this time? ”

Chen Xian frowned and said, "It is true that there is a concern about throwing rats, but this Liu Cao has such a climate in less than a year, which shows that this person is extremely not simple." If you don't move now, I'm afraid it will become a big trouble in the future! ”

Yang Yingqi groaned: "If he is moved now, Jinbei may be turbulent." As soon as there is an accident in northern Shanxi, Western Xia and Henan will be unstable. If Western Xia and Henan are unstable, the Southern Song Dynasty is afraid that there will also be a reaction. It's a one-size-fits-all affair! Besides, although Liu Cao did evil, the defense line in northern Jin was really solid because of him. Hebei Prefecture County outside Zhending and Zhongshan, and Hedong Province south of Taiyuan were also kept peaceful because of the defense line in the north of Jin, so it was ...... So it's really hard to say between these merits and demerits. ”

Chen Xiandao: "The merit is its skin, and the disaster is its viscera!" ”

Yang Yingqi asked: "Please tell Chen Lao in detail." ”

Chen Xiandao: "The soldiers and the wealth must be divided into two. Frontier generals receive money from the central government to do things, and they don't care where the money comes from. The wealth needs to be attributed to the central government, and the soldiers must be controlled by the privy, otherwise, the more money there is, the more prosperous the soldiers, and only add to the worries of separation! He can defend the land for me today, and he will return to Jin to the south tomorrow! ”

Yang Yingqi groaned: "The truth is this, but judging from the current actual situation, it is not so. Qu Duan is not stupid, and he will not be ignorant of the general trend. Besides, in the army of northern Jin, there are many old troops of Liu Qi and Chong Yansong, and there are two generals who stayed in the team of northern Jinbei, these people are all loyal, and they can't set off a big wave of subversion. ”

Chen Xiandao: "This is naturally the case today, but after a long period of connivance, it is difficult to say." ”

Yang Yingqi couldn't make a decision and asked Han Fang, Han Fang said: "What Elder Xian said is reasonable, but there is still a big matter hanging in our minds in front of us, this matter is uncertain, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid it's better to be stable than to change. ”

Yang Yingqi asked what was the matter.

Han Fang said: "Mobei hasn't won a big victory yet. ”

Yang Yingqi was shocked when he heard this, and said with his palm: "Yes, this matter still has to be delayed." After all, Liu Cao is a person who can do things. It is better to indulge him for two more years than to dispose of him now. After a pause, he said: "But we can't completely sit idly by, although we don't move him for the time being, we can't let this scourge spread, we have to beat him!" ”

Han Fang said: "Knocking makes it afraid, it is better to guide it to make it good." ”

Yang Yingqi bowed his head and said: "If he can change it, it is the best." Okay, I'll give him a little time. Gongmei will deal with this matter. ”

Han Fang glanced at Chen Xian and said busily: "This matter has to be old and outstanding, so that it can be justified." I went to do it, but I overstepped my authority. ”

Before Yang Yingqi could speak, Chen Xian glanced at Han Fang and said with a smile: "There is power in the matter, and it is more appropriate for Liu Cao to be guided by Gongmei to make him good." Besides, since Yang Xiang has already spoken about this matter, why should Gongmei refuse. ”

Chen Zhenghui didn't speak on the side, and then said: "What the old man said is reasonable, everyone is doing things for the court, and Gongmei doesn't have to be too suspicious?" ”

Han Fang said: "That is the case, then Han Fang will repair the book and scold Liu Cao, hoping that he can repent in time, so as not to make the court embarrassed for him alone." ”
