From the mouth of the Liao River to the southeast to the mouth of the Yalu River, south of this unofficially demarcated boundary line is the sphere of influence of the Dajin Horse and the Southern Liaoning Commander.

To be precise, Zhiyanchong's fiefdom was limited to Fuzhou, but the appointment of officials in Kaizhou and Chenzhou was basically up to him. Liaokou in the west is no longer on the front line, but it is still a transit point for Han soldiers and materials, and has now developed into an important town integrating military, commerce and government. And Dongjin, the new port city at the mouth of the Yalu River, is also becoming more and more prosperous under the auspices of Wang Zheng. The Goryeo people have always been wary of the aggressiveness of the Jurchens, but the huge smuggling team has long been a force that cannot be underestimated with the local politics, and even the Kaijing magnates who are in charge of the government also need the financial support of this force, so the control of smuggling in its northwest frontier is useless, and the goods and commodities are constantly entering and leaving Dongjin.

In this era, the whole world was in chaos, but only the Liaodong Peninsula maintained a good regional peace. It has been five years since Hanbu settled here. In the past five years, the Han Dynasty has launched many foreign wars to cooperate with Huining, and has also mobilized various forces to pacify and suppress the rebellious tribes in the Changbai Mountain area. However, these wars all took place outside of southern Liaoning itself, and in addition to consuming a certain amount of money, food, and manpower, they did not have much negative impact on the lives of the residents of southern Liaoning. Anyone who crosses the Liaokou-Dongjin line and is in the Liaokou-Dongjin-Jinmen triangle will feel safe and secure that is not found anywhere else - not only is there no war, but even undesirable harassment from the authorities is rare. The vigorous folk customs, the nascent political power and the relatively good communication system between the upper and lower levels have made the three prefectures in southern Liaoning have the most efficient government system in this era.

The longing and imitation of a good political system is almost the nature of the development of the crowd! Although the prefectures and counties north of Liaokou are not under the jurisdiction of Zheyanchong, their social structure and official work style are on par with those of southern Liaoning, just as Chenzhou and Kaizhou were on par with Fuzhou two years ago.

Zhe Yanchong's command and requisition power basically reached the Liaokou and Dongjin lines, and has not been extended for several years. Even the taxes of Chenzhou and Kaizhou, some of which have to be handed over directly to Huining. But the political influence of our concubine is like an invisible shadow, which has already penetrated deeply into the entire Liaoyang Province, and even affected Goryeo. Daikin has grown south of Xianzhou to get used to doing things according to the rules of Zheyanchong!

However, although the rules were formed under the influence of the Han Ministry in various places, the biggest beneficiary in the short term was the Daejin regime. The agricultural taxes created by the Han immigrants who flowed into the Liaohe River valley were directly paid to Huining, and the subordinate tribes were also directly subordinated to the Liaodong Road and Xianzhou Road after they were conscripted into the army. Daikin's aristocracy was so pleased with the new immigrants' productivity and rare docility that they did not regard Yang's immigration policies as a bad thing. On the contrary, for the Han government, Yang Yingqi's efforts to promote immigration to various parts of the northern country in the short term really did not see any benefit.

But Chen Zhenghui didn't think so, this Han minister who had just set foot in Tianjin, his knowledge and vision at this moment were no longer as narrow as when he first entered the Han Department. Looking at Yang Yingqi's various plans in the northern country, he suddenly felt like a confidant. He thinks that Yang Yingqi actually hides a deep ambition in the midst of the calm, and he is happy to see this ambition - because it is in line with his long-term vision.

In the past year, too many major events have taken place in the southeast, especially the Fangla Rebellion, which almost destroyed the foundation of the Song Dynasty. In this turmoil that had just been quelled, Chen Zhenghui for the first time profoundly tasted the taste of regulating power to influence the situation in the world: Ouyang Shi with his help, successfully established various deep or shallow contacts with the gentry of Jiangnan and Fujian, some of the gentry of Jiangnan emigrated under the guidance of Ouyang Shi, and some rich people in Fujian also packed up and prepared to enter the sea at any time when Fangla's power was at its peak.

In the war to extinguish the Fang La rebellion, Tong Guan was one hand of Mingli, while Ouyang Shi and Chen Zhenghui were the hands of the secret assistants, Ouyang Shi also sent troops at Tong Guan's request to exterminate the defeated army of Fang La, who was about to flow from the waterway, and he even wanted to take the opportunity to establish a seaside base on the mainland, but finally gave up under Chen Zhenghui's persuasion - this also won the favor of the Jiangnan gentry, believing that the small regime of Daliuqiu was not to take advantage of the fire to rob and contribute.

"Brother Zhenghui's idea is right!" Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage inspecting the Liaodong Peninsula, Yang Yingqi said to Chen Zhenghui: "We are stationing troops in Jiangnan for no reason, which is too morally unreasonable. ”

Chen Zhenghui had been preparing to take up his post in the north last year, but he was forced to postpone it because of the Fangla Rebellion, and it was not until this year that the ocean currents went north with a large group of merchant ships. Yang Yingqi, who had just returned from the north, personally greeted him at the pier and gave him a high-standard but relatively simple welcome ceremony. Chen Zhenghui's career fetish is much more serious than Yang Yingqi's, so Yang Yingqi's lack of communication such as a banquet is very satisfying to him. The two of them ran around in Yang Yingqi's carriage in southern Liaoning, and Chen Zhenghui said after seeing the farm in southern Liaoning: "Although the land climate here is not as rich as Liuqiu, the farmers are very skilled in farming. Although there are many people in Jinmen and Liaokou who do not farm, they should be able to afford it here, so why do they have to transport so much rice from Liuqiu every year? ”

Yang Yingqi lowered his voice and said, "It's you and I who said it, don't let others hear it!" In the past few years, there has actually been a surplus of grain in southern Liaoning, but one-third of the harvest has been withheld by me, so there is such a shortage in the market. Everyone knows that our Han Department has two warehouses to prepare for war and prepare for famine, but how many are in it, only me, Yang Pu, Zhang Hao and the eldest brother and third brother know! ”

Chen Zhenghui was shocked: "The cost of shipping is very serious, and if you deduct it like this, the Seventh General, not only will the people's power be greatly consumed, but even the officials of the Han Dynasty will not be comfortable." ”

"It's fine. Although the cost is high, the route is also stimulated, and each other is good and bad, and in the short term, the good and the bad are evenly shared, but in the long run, it is a great thing. Yang Yingqi said: "And I am preparing grain and grass like this, in fact, there are other intentions, you should understand." ”

Chen Zhenghui groaned: "Are the seven generals afraid of war? ”

"I'm just afraid of war! And I'm afraid of a big fight! Yang Yingqi said: "With soldiers in your hands and food in your pockets, you can live this life at ease!" Our Han Department has a lot of people and few soldiers at the moment, so we just need to store food! This is one of them. Now the grain in southern Liaoning is enough to be self-sufficient, but in the long run, it will not be enough, rather than waiting until then to panic and think of a way, it is better to lay the foundation of shipping now! This is the second one. ”

Chen Zhenghui heard him mention the soldiers and said: "Speaking of soldiers, our Han Department now has more sailors than land soldiers, but I'm afraid it's not very right." ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "There's no way." Most sailors are fighting pirates that are becoming more and more rampant day by day, and anyway, the number of sailors will not care, and we will be happy to increase as needed. However, if too many soldiers and horses are recruited on land, first, it will attract gossip, and second, the cost of raising troops will be too much. However, the martial arts in southern Liaoning are now very prosperous, and my second brother and I have another method of hiding soldiers from the people, which can be formed in a few years, as long as the big money is not chaotic in the near future, this does not have to worry too much. ”

The two walked around the peninsula, Chen Zhenghui couldn't help but didn't ask to go north again, and when he returned to Jinmen, Yang Yingqi asked, "What is the situation of Daliuqiu now?" ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "The officials of all counties and ports have been on the road, and now the population is increasing day by day, and it has faintly become a big county. Inheriting the remnants of the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, the people's hearts are governed, so it is easy to manage. ”

Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "This is all thanks to Brother Zhenghui's great talent!" I want to ask you to settle in Jinmen and be my deputy, how about it? ”

Chen Zhenghui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't Zhang Hao here?" ”

"Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and Yang Pu has already taken care of the affairs of government and military handover. Although Zhang Hao was promoted to a transfer envoy, he couldn't help me with all the government affairs alone. Yang Yingqi said: "I mean, let him be in charge of the affairs of the north and the land, and you be in charge of the affairs of the south and the sea." This burden is much heavier and more difficult than that of the distant stream! I don't know if you'd like to? ”

The proposal to temporarily split the stream for the counties and carry out remote control from Jinmen was something that Chen Zhenghui talked to Yang Yingqi about not long ago, but he didn't expect Yang Yingqi's reply to come so quickly! However, he was not too surprised by this, and just asked, "What about the flow of things......

Yang Yingqi smiled and said, "Aren't there chief officials in all counties and ports?" As for the overall strategy, it is naturally controlled by you. As you said, anyway, now that the rule of the officials is on track, as long as there is no major external trouble, there will be no chaos in a short time. ”
