Chapter 673 Recruitment

Li Chun's life is destined to be ordinary, because she is the only blood relative of Li Po, the king of Han, in this world, this alone is enough, not to mention that she is also recognized as a stabbing master inside and outside Jinyang, and she also worships Jinyang celebrities as teachers.

In this way, no matter how you consider it, if you can marry the lady of the Han Dynasty now, in the words of later generations, this will definitely belong to the category of high-risk and high-return investment.

Li Chun is different from her brother, she is not highly conscious, and she is always trying her best to resist the fate imposed on her.

Of course, as I get older, there is no need to mention the brother-lover complex or something, whether it is the rules formulated by the Rites or the Gate Valve Family, there are some clear boundaries for people's behavior.

For example, regardless of whether the brother and sister are related by blood or not, it is impossible for the King of Han to marry his sister-in-law now, and Li Chun, who has become an adult and has received a good education, has already hidden the emotions of the early years in the depths of his heart, and as time goes by, the traces will become weaker and fainter, and finally disappear.

Therefore, her resistance has nothing to do with anything else, just her instinctive reaction, a person who has lived freely for many years and has a large backing must not be very interested in marrying.

Especially in this year, when you get married, you have to marry and teach children or something, which makes Li Chun feel extremely terrible when he thinks about it, and he is far less comfortable than being under the protection of his brother.

Moreover, if she is really married, her husband must not be much worse than her brother, otherwise the contrast is enough to make Li Chun shudder.

In other words, the eldest lady of the Han Mansion does not have a clear concept of her marriage, and Li Po's extensive stocking model has seriously affected Li Chun's outlook on life.

No, she is checking and filling in the gaps to plug those possible loopholes, of course, if Li Bi pushes it tighter, maybe she will have to sneak away to the south to work for her brother, she is not a powerless boudoir woman.

Empress Xiao simply responded, inevitably feeling a little funny, but she also remembered herself in the early years, compared to the lively Li Chun, her girlhood was full of tragedy.

Of course, she wouldn't have thought that Li Chun had suffered a lot when he was a child.

Otherwise, everyone has their own story, and no one should try to really see through a person......

Someone came to report while talking, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Daizhou Governor Yu Wenxin came to see you." ”

Empress Xiao was stunned, she naturally knew who Yuwen Xin was, when she returned from the Turkic south that day, she had seen it in Yanmen, and her attitude towards the children of the Yuwen clan ...... Needless to say, she is not so big-hearted and can forget Yu Wenhua and her ugly face.

After thinking about it for a while, she ordered: "Just say that the palace is unwell, and I haven't seen the foreign minister recently." ”

Later, Li Chun waved his hand to keep the people in the palace farther away, and then said: "Governor Yuwen sent an envoy to the Turks at the beginning of the year, and he returned yesterday to ask to see Yu Niangniang, it should be that the Turkic Khan has a letter for him to pass on, right?" ”

Empress Xiao turned to look at the lake casually, and said softly: "Don't think about it, I just don't want to see the people of the Yuwen family...... Hmph, Yang, Yuwen, Xiao...... I don't owe them anything, and what difference does it make to see them and not to see them? ”

When Li Chun heard this, he didn't want to say anything, but he just felt that Jinyang Palace was not a paradise, he could keep his own door and ignore the world, and someone would always come in and out of here, rather than ignore it, it was better to participate in it, and maybe he would be able to hold on more in the future.

Of course, with her identity, it is impossible to persuade Empress Xiao like this, even if she says it, Queen Xiao may not listen to it, they are two people with completely different personalities and experiences.

And there is no doubt that Empress Xiao has her own political wisdom......

………………………………

What happened in Jinyang City, it was impossible to come to the bank of the Yellow River in every detail, but some major events always had to reach Li Po's ears.

At this time, the battle on the front line of Tongguan was considered to have come to an end, and Li Po realized his strategic vision with almost no effort.

This requires a certain amount of luck, but it is also inseparable from the ability of Li Po and his generals to grasp the fighters.

Then the western part of Henan gradually quieted down, and after the authorities stabilized, the war in the north came to an end in the middle of the year.

The time enters July, with the arrival of autumn rains, the chill is getting thicker, indicating that winter is not far away.

Li Po no longer focused on the war, turned his head to look at his own rule, according to the situation reported by the counties in Jinyang, after the autumn harvest this year, the food problem in Jindi will be further alleviated.

The price of grain in Hedong had been slowly declining before the autumn harvest, and the situation was much better than the most optimistic predictions of Li Po and his subordinates, which was obviously a concrete manifestation of people's peace of mind, otherwise, Hedong, which had just experienced the war not long ago and was still on the brink of war, would definitely not be as stable as it is now.

And the price of food is like a mirror, which reflects the appearance of people's hearts.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the performance of the government, since Li Po took possession of Hedong, military service and labor service have disappeared, and Li Po's promise to be exempted from taxation for three years is also being solidly fulfilled.

This not only opened a gap with the rebel army that opened warehouses everywhere to release grain back then, but Li Tang, who once governed Hedong, was also left behind.

This is undoubtedly a process of re-establishing the prestige of the government, and it is not something that can be achieved by shouting a few slogans, but only by relying on little efforts and passing the test of time in order to produce results.

Once the local government has gained the trust of the people, rules and order will be established quickly, and then there will be peace of mind, otherwise, everything will be empty talk.

Things are developing in a good direction, Li Po looks at all this with pride, this is the foundation he has built with years of hard work, and he hopes that his rule will flourish, not like other places, a barren place.

Because of this, his foundation will become more and more solid, and he will be able to continue to gain the upper hand in the contest with Li Tang......

In July, Dou Jiande's envoy came again, did not go to Jinyang, and came directly to the camp on the edge of the Yellow River, in addition to reiterating the alliance between the two families, he was also testing whether Li Po, the king of Han, had the intention of taking Luoyang eastward.

I believe that in a few days, Xiao Miao's envoy will also come here, but I don't know if Xiao Mo will send another guy like Cen Wenwen over.

Li Po originally wanted to send someone to Dou Jiande and Xiao Mo to walk around the two of them, and in addition to returning the gift, he also wanted to see what the two looked like under their rule, and who the people around them were.

In fact, whether it is a show or a courtesy, it should be done like this, considering that this year has just been crowned, Jinyang is still a little messy, this matter Li Po decided to put it in the spring next year when the flowers are blooming.

No matter how several families discussed the matter of distributing fertilizer, the war in Henan continued, Wang Shichong disappeared, Wang Shiyun supported the situation in Luoyang, and blocked Duan Da, who led the troops back, outside Luoyang City.

The exhausted Henan people no longer had the strength to fight fiercely, and only formed a confrontation in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and many heads fell to the ground in Luoyang City, and Duan Da outside the city also followed the example of Cao Mengde and began to dig graves.

In July, a group of more than 100 people slowly walked to the county town of Hongnong, led by a few people looking at the tall city wall of the county, shouted a few times weakly, and then led people to plunge on the ground, bowing more than once.

These are some Henan fugitives, scattered in the mountains, forests and grasslands, they no longer have the courage to gather people to attack the county and county towns as they did back then, and Henan, which is thousands of miles away, can no longer support them to do so.

From here, the crowd of refugees from Henan began to appear in Hongnong County one after another, Li Po didn't know how many Henan people Li Tang had received, he only knew that it was time for him to reap the dividends of this battle.

The fleeing people were sparse and endless, most of them were yellow-skinned and unclothed, and among them were soldiers, generals, officials, and local nobles, and most of the other civilians followed behind them.

This shows that the order in Henan has completely collapsed, and under the sharp decline in population, the people who survive today are actually sheltered, and when the people who shelter them can't survive, the current situation has also appeared.

The camp established by Li Po's people finally came in handy, and many of the preparations that had been made came in handy, in comparison, Xiao Miao, Dou Jiande, and Du Fuwei were much bigger.

Before the onset of winter, the people who had survived the war all these years, but now they were completely in despair and panic, scattered in all directions, and the local retainers were also anxiously looking for a way out.

The chaos spread like ripples, tragic things have long been commonplace in Henan, and if the survivors have the ability, they can write countless books of Les Miserables for you to see, but everything that happened in the autumn of this year can still be said to be unprecedented.

From the aristocratic officials to the common people, they are all struggling in despair, Wang Shichong's army has almost consumed all the vitality of Henan, in fact, even if he can lead the army to rush into Tongguan, for the people of Henan, the result will not be any different from now.

By the end of July of this year, that is, in the late autumn, there were 60,000 or 70,000 new people in the camps on the banks of the Yellow River, and this number will increase after August.

It can be seen from here that there are not a few people who have escaped, but it must not be said that there are many, most of the people from the west will choose between Xiao Milling and Li Ding'an, obviously, Xiao Milling occupies a certain advantage.

And the two of them do very differently......
