Chapter 44: Pursuit

Under the watchful eye, under the correct leadership of Emperor Liu Jixing, and under the deliberate arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Jian and his entourage of 58 soldiers returned to Xingwangfu. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info enjoyed the emperor personally holding hands, and the ministers welcomed the imperial city as companions.

Naturally, it inevitably became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in Xingwangfu, and it also became an opportunity for ordinary people to actively join the Southern Han army. Everyone's passion was unprecedentedly high, Liu Jixing knew that the people's will could be used to the extreme, and in front of the civil and military officials and the general public, he gave the northbound heroes rewards and rewards.

Zhou Jian jumped a few levels in a row, and was named the general of Dingyuan on the fifth grade, and then he was a palace maid out of the palace. His deputy, Wei Yiren, was also named a ranger general, which was a position of two thousand stones from the fifth grade, and he was also gifted with a palace maid like Zhou Jian. The rest of the people naturally had rich rewards and ranks, and the most important thing was that everyone settled in Dongcheng and was rewarded with a house in the happiness of the building complex designed by the emperor himself.

Of course, these houses are very luxurious according to the standard configuration of later generations, and they are large mansions with blue bricks and tiles with three entrances. But in this ancient era when there were few people, although many people could not afford to build such a good house, the area of the house in this pattern was really not very large. Of course, now in the Xingwang Mansion, where every inch of land is expensive, these houses are also worth a lot of money, not to mention that they were given by the emperor himself. This is a reward and grace that will be honorable for generations to come, and everyone will look forward to it.

As for those soldiers and their relatives who did not come back, it is worth looking forward to, Liu Jixing has long ordered the household department to make a register, the in-service staff of the military department to strictly record it, and the etiquette department to make wholehearted and considerate arrangements. It was the most ordinary person who participated in this operation, as well as the soldiers who were still outside and did not return, and the worst were rewarded with the rank of captain of Yilu from the seventh grade. As for those who have made meritorious contributions, not to mention, Liu Jixing did not skimp on rewarding these people at all, anyway, these false titles cost nothing to Liu Jixing.

The emperor's reward came, even the families of those soldiers were grateful to Dade, not to mention the ordinary people, the imperial edict was really shocked, the people praised it, and the support for the Liu dynasty of the Southern Han Dynasty reached the highest level.

The emperor ordered the whole city to lift the ban, and personally feasted these 58 heroes in the palace, so that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and above in Beijing entered the palace to celebrate their achievements.

The palace banquet naturally inevitably invited the envoys of various countries in the Xing Palace, and the most embarrassing thing was the envoys sent by Zhou Xingfeng after Chu Di stayed, because since Emperor Liu Jixing ascended the throne, Chu Di did not send envoys to congratulate him because of his attachment to Zhou. Later, the army of the Southern Han Dynasty infiltrated Chu and had the movement of seizing territory, Zhou Xingfeng was a little anxious to deal with it, and later when he was helpless, he sent someone over to negotiate with Liu Jixing.

These envoys came to Xingwangfu at the end of October, and at first they had the intention of having the same contact with the court of the Southern Han Kingdom, but Liu Jixing never had the intention of meeting them head-on. And these Zhou Xingfeng envoys also have some means, they have been dealing with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and several times asked the Ministry of Rites to give advice to the emperor Liu Jixing, wanting to see the emperor. But every time the emperor put the excerpt on hold, and once a director of the Ministry of Rites played again, and was directly reprimanded by Liu Jixing and relegated to other places.

No one informed them of this banquet, which was actually expected by many people.

Although these envoys of Chu were embarrassed and uncomfortable, they also understood that these so-called heroes of the Great Han Kingdom were the reputation gained by the people who killed themselves in their own territory. Although they are a little helpless, as officials appointed by the regime, they must have this self-awareness.

Although I was not invited, I also saved a lot of trouble and unexpected excitement when I think about it. Now that the hearts of the people of the Southern Han Dynasty are available, these envoys in Chu don't want to touch their heads anymore, so they can only stay obediently at the embassy post station and drink alcohol.

This night in Xingwangfu is really a few joys and a few sorrows, as for other things and developments, it is not that Liu Jixing, the emperor, will know and need to worry about it again and again.

Liu Jixing quietly looked at the misty lake, welcomed the heroes back, and after a big show, everyone finally had a peaceful year.

There is really good news in various places, first of all, Guo Jing successfully established the award state base area, which attracted barbarians of all nationalities, and constantly assimilated the states and counties everywhere. The soldiers under his command also developed on their own, based on the county, developing their own small base areas on their own, and doing all kinds of struggles with the Chu local regime.

Then there is another trump card of his own, the naval army led by Wu Yanrou on the sea. The East China Sea Line, headed by Deputy Envoy Shao Tingcheng, won a complete victory, and not only established base areas on the major islands, but also established fulcrums on the land along the coast. Because Shao Tingcheng has another resounding name in the rivers and lakes, Captain Captain Karma, the Pacific pirate group.

When Liu Jixing excavated this unknown official that day and handed it to Wu Yanrou, Wu Yanrou was very surprised. However, Shao Tingcheng adapted to the sea for a quarter, and boldly went to sea with a fleet. In less than two years, Shao Tingcheng has become a general who can compete with Wu Yanrou, and the momentum is even better.

Shao Tingcheng in the future generations succumbed to death in the hands of Liu Ling, and now Liu Jixing feels that he will definitely not, and it will become a big help for himself. Liu Jixing doesn't have much pressure in at least these two aspects, even in the imperial city, he doesn't have to worry about it now.

Although the palace has been in Liu Jixing's hands, there have been a lot of idle people and palace e. But out of coordination of various forces, Liu Jixing also accepted many women into the palace.

These people seem to be weak women on the surface, Liu Jixing never believes that these people are simple, just like the agents of later generations. Liu Jixing naturally couldn't tell them his secrets, even Wang Yu and Xiao Yue wouldn't be in front of them. Because there are a lot of people in the palace, there are naturally a lot of things that need to be coordinated, but with the two helpers Wang Yu and Xiao Yue, Liu Jixing doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Now that the new year is coming, I have been in this era for so long, and sometimes I can't help but have an illusion. Now Liu Jixing even feels that he belongs to this era! Although since his soul crossing after his reincarnation, he has not had much contact with the people in the Liu family, and he is not afraid that someone will feel that there is something wrong with him.

Even if he has been in contact with Liu Sheng's cheap father the most, and he has the magic stick of Daozun Shi Zhenren as a shield, so until Liu Sheng died, he didn't find out that he was different from Liu Sheng, let alone worry about others. What's more, among the immediate family members of the Liu family, except for Liu Sheng, there are almost no others left, and Liu Jixing doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

Even said that he didn't have much contact with Liu Sheng, and in the feudal era, under the widowhood of the royal power struggle, it seemed to determine the weakness of family affection between relatives. But now all this is undoubtedly the Liu family's, Liu Jixing understands that even if he is in his current state, he can't change his concept of coming from the next generation.

Now his cheap brothers are worried about themselves, for fear that they are as brutal as they were when they were teenagers, or as terrifying as their father Liu Sheng killed more than a dozen brothers. In the later generations, they are still children, and in this era, they should all set up a government and open a mansion, and they should make good arrangements for them.

Even during such a Spring Festival, they came into the palace to deal with themselves, and they couldn't wait to run! It seems that they are all afraid of themselves, afraid that they will make themselves unhappy when they are facing themselves, and let themselves go crazy.

Liu Jixing also understands these things, and he also knows more about the royal people, what he is most worried about is the shaking of his status, but Liu Jixing has never had Liu Sheng's crazy ideas.

The most uncomfortable may be King Gui, because of his mother, he has not sent him to the fiefdom of Guizhou. Liu Jixing has never treated him as an adult, and he has never worried that this child will dig a hole for himself.

Although the actual age of Liu Gang in his body is only one year older than King Gui, the actual age of Liu Jixing's later generations is not young, but it is not much younger than King Gui's father, Emperor Liu Sheng, otherwise he would not be at ease and accept King Gui's mother, Pan Yulian.

As for the little brothers, they are even more afraid of Liu Jixing, compared with Liu Jixing's thoughts, they are even more naïve, if they are comfortable and comfortable princes, Liu Jixing thinks that they will live very happily, if they think about crooked ways to block themselves or the whole thing, Liu Jixing does not mind being a bad person. After all, he has no Mao relationship with them, and some of them also have the right of the Liu family.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone came over to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Jixing as usual, and also to the remaining concubines of Liu Sheng in the palace, of course, there are even two concubines of Gaozu Liu Yan, as for these women around Liu Jixing, they naturally won't catch a cold. When they saw Liu Jixing, they went to the palace to see the group of women, and then they ran away with a sigh of relief.

Of course, Liu Jixing also sent Guan Miao back to Luofu Mountain to pay New Year's greetings to the old god stick of Daozun. Who knows that it was in the air, and it is said that I don't know where Shi Zhenren went, Liu Jixing can feel responsible, this old god stick has not yet soared.

For the people who help him, Liu Jixing naturally remembers, and there is no way to do it when the people are not there, and Liu Jixing will not be stupid to send people to find them.

There is also a great god in the palace, that is, Shi Zhenren's apprentice Sun Xia Qinghou is here, according to the analysis of Shi Wu and Yang Jiong, Xia Qinghou's cultivation has broken through to another realm. Although Liu Jixing didn't know what level this was, it was obviously not something he could master now, so it was even more inconvenient to disturb Xia Qinghou.

Liu Jixing is actually quite looking forward to having a god stick to become an immortal, so he has an expectation, and he can also practice the Tao, is it possible to return to the future one day! Liu Jixing knew that this was basically a matter of nonsense.

The Spring Festival routine of the imperial court is a holiday, but on the first day of the new year, the pilgrimage is still done, and Liu Jixing is not stingy, and he sends some gifts to everyone.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Qinghou came to Liu Jixing to drink, and the two of them drank all night in the thatched house. With the improvement of Liu Jixing's cultivation, although he did not deliberately use his cultivation and used the way of true qi to resist alcohol, the real amount of alcohol also made Xia Qinghou admire.

Calm down, now Liu Jixing thinks that he doesn't even have lofty ideals, he doesn't think that he will be in this five generations of troubled times, he can dominate the world as soon as he is angry, or think about how to revitalize the Liu family of the Southern Han Dynasty in the past.

But at least now I live in this troubled era, and because the Liu family has a good background. Although Liu Gang's reputation was not very good before, but now that he occupies this body, he must get his reputation back first, and he definitely doesn't want his power to be swallowed up immediately.

What's more, in history, after the five dynasties of separatist forces were founded in the Great Song Dynasty, the Liu family of the Southern Han Kingdom did not last long. Zhao Kuangyin didn't send a few people to send troops, so he was killed cleanly.

So Liu Jixing is thinking about all the ways to protect himself, and what he says is to think of all ways to make himself strong. Only by centralizing one's own power can one make oneself invincible in the chaotic separatist forces.

Now in this feudal era, we must have the consciousness of the characteristics of this era. Liu Jixing would not be stupid enough to quote his complete ideas of that era in advance at this time. The advanced capitalism and socialism of later generations, using their ideas and methods to guide and educate their own people, will only engulf and expel this era.

Even if there is an idea in this regard now, it is only a one-sided way to introduce it into its own imperial world in the way it needs in this era. Because Liu Jixing deeply understands one thing, the process of advanced thinking in any era has a process of development and transition. Even if he comes from the civilized world and society of later generations, he cannot change the fact that the current feudal society is present!

But Liu Jixing at least knows that he is still himself, and he will not be as cruel, ruthless and indulgent as the character of the later lord Liu Gang depicted in later history. At least at present, within the scope of his own rights control, Liu Jixing still hopes that the Han Dynasty in the south of the Lingnan can develop in his imagination.

He has changed now, he has become like the queen Liu Gang in the history books, and he will linger every day with his concubines and palace maids in the palace; He has indeed changed, becoming more like himself in his later life, and his thoughts and actions are clearly different from Liu Gang's.

Usually I will care about others, and I will think about the survival of the people under my rule, just like the CEO of a large company in the future, who has many employees under his control, and needs his own courage and determination to arrange for each to perform its own responsibilities. Even his current appearance and temperament are becoming more and more like his previous body! Liu Jixing also thought about finding a way to return to his previous world, but now Liu Jixing sometimes feels necessary!

Maybe with his own appearance, there has been a small shift in this world! Liu Jixing doesn't know how much this shift will change, but at least it won't be the same as the previous history. If this is still the history of the later world, then today's actions will obviously have a far-reaching impact on the history and development of later generations.

First of all, the information reported by the secret parties in various places, according to the survey, the understanding of the people of the Southern Han Dynasty towards the imperial court has changed greatly. At least everyone knows the existence of the Liu dynasty, knows the existence of Liu Jixing, the little emperor, knows that they are the people of the Southern Han Kingdom, enjoys the gifts of this emperor, and has a sense of identity and belonging to the country and the emperor.

The lives of ordinary people have changed significantly, because under the strong supervision of Liu Jixing, the development and great changes in agriculture and water conservancy are undoubtedly rapidly changing everyone's thinking and life in the past.

Although the improvement and popularization of the three-crop rice introduced by Liu Jixing is far from being comparable with the rice yield of later generations, the harvest in this era has already made people feel thrilling and surprised. What's more, the climate in Lingnan is very good, which is conducive to the growth of various plants, and Liu Jixing is collecting all kinds of crop seeds from all over the country to plant them in Lingnan, and personally joining the thinking of later generations to improve them. The increase in yield and variety, coupled with the abundant fruit specialties, was improved and collected by Liu Jixing with the technology of preserved fruits in later generations, which completely eliminated waste and strengthened the export of crop products to various places.

Although even in the era of Liu Jixing in later generations, in some places in the north of Lingnan, there are still people who are poor and can't even wear pants. But at least in this era, especially under the leadership of the imperial power of Yiyantang, Liu Jixing doesn't want this kind of thing to be too common. After all, the social contradictions in later generations are too obvious under the ** of money power.

And in this era, under the privilege of the emperor, there is also this problem that exists and cannot be avoided, but it is also the simplicity and uniqueness of the naked supreme imperial power. The common people absolutely know their position and status, and the middle doctor landlord class knows their position, and they basically accept their fate. In this era, the imperial power enjoyed supreme authority.

Through the accurate information of the secret party statistics, the population of his Southern Han court increased by nearly 50,000 households in less than two years. Now the household registration of the whole country in the Southern Han Dynasty has reached the peak height of the late five dynasties of the Southern Han Dynasty in history, reaching the height of nearly 170,000 households, Liu Jixing understands that at any time, as long as the society is relatively peaceful, the number of people will only increase, and it will definitely not be less.

It is believed that in a few years, the population of the Southern Han Dynasty, which has developed smoothly, will soon reach another height under the policy of self-cultivation and recuperation. Although it is still far from being compared with the population of Shuzhong, Southern Tang, Zhou, and Wuyue, it has obviously far exceeded the war-torn Chudi Hunan, Jingnan in the cracks and the Northern Han in the outer border, and the Fujian border that was the sovereignty of the Qingyuan Army after the disintegration.

Liu Jixing is now even confident that in the next few years, by developing the military, strengthening agriculture, and protecting the population, he will soon be able to turn the Southern Han Dynasty into the Jiangnan of Lingnan and the holy land of survival in the minds of the people of the Central Plains. But does history give itself time?

At the same time, Liu Jixing continued to reduce various unnecessary taxes in the Southern Han Dynasty, and only increased the taxes of those merchants who got rich. Of course, in order to prevent businesses from passing on these increased taxes to ordinary people, Liu Jixing strictly controls the prices of all livelihood items. Although the promotion time is not long, under Liu Jixing's strong means, the role and effect are very obvious.

The state also granted additional amnesty to many of the new immigrants to the Southern Han Dynasty, who had settled in the Southern Han Dynasty to reclaim the taxes they had produced. Let them quickly restore the foundation of their lives, settle and develop in Lingnan with peace of mind, and have a comprehensive and correct understanding of the Southern Han Dynasty.

What's more, the climate in Lingnan has been good in recent years, which has undoubtedly created more favorable conditions for Liu Jixing's development and ideals. In addition, the improvement of crops such as rice cereals and other crops has brought a large good situation. Even the voyage to sea brought back other crops from overseas, which made Liu Jixing more confident and hopeful to make people's lives better.

Of course, in less than two years, Liu Jixing has almost spent several generations of the Liu family dynasty and accumulated a lot of considerable belongings. These people's fat and people's ointment have been put into people's livelihood and military construction. If Liu Sheng and Liu Yan knew Liu Jixing's way of using money underground, Liu Jixing estimated that they would crawl out of the coffin in distress, and then beat Liu Jixing hard. Of course, Liu Jixing can now be said to be almost the poorest emperor in history.

If it weren't for Abbas, a fine merchant, since he followed him, he would really be desperate to serve himself. Not only is there a team dedicated to taking care of their own business, but now there is a steady stream of income coming in every day.

If it weren't for Abbas, a fine businessman, Liu Jixing estimated that he would have collapsed because of money. However, Liu Jixing did not worry about anything else. Because of the huge income of the Great Han Kingdom in Xingwangfu every day, and the continuous export and inflow of materials, as well as the black income that Liu Jixing is proud of, Liu Jixing can rest assured that he can boldly develop and move forward.

Liu Yan and Liu Sheng, father and son, two generations of emperors, Fan for forty or fifty years, searched and created in Lingnan and accumulated huge wealth. Later history said that after Liu Ling became an emperor for more than ten years, even in Lingnan, a place where birds do not lay eggs, the reason why he was hung and conquered by Zhao Kuangyin was because of his huge wealth.

Otherwise, Zhao Kuangyin, who didn't even fight Wu Yueguo and even drew Dali, would fall in love with Lingnan, a poor and remote place. It is said that after capturing the Xingwang Mansion, the leading general Pan Mei blockaded the imperial city of the Southern Han Kingdom, and finally transported more than ten ships of wealth to Bianjing. Not to mention the belongings of the ships that were abducted by the eunuch Le Fan at sea. It is conceivable how rich the Liu dynasty of the Southern Han Dynasty was at that time.

Liu Jixing didn't feel sorry for himself at all for spending so much money, and he felt very happy and useful to spend it, because the wealth left to him by Liu Yan's father and son was originally used to spend it for himself!

It's just that Liu Gang, a loser, won't spend it, and in the end he cheapened Zhao Kuangyin. If the money is not spent and kept in the inner treasury, is it really useful? I usually lie on it and can't sleep, I can't eat it as food and drink water, and what's the use of letting it turn to ashes in the end!

Therefore, Liu Jixing feels that these things are taken from the people and the people are the royal road! And not the royal road! Therefore, Liu Jixing was careful and spent a lot of money, and only then did he see today's success and fruits.

In terms of the army and the military, Liu Jixing was not stingy with spending at all. But Liu Jixing's smart approach is not to give these soldiers how much money to pay for military salaries! Just imagine, in such a difficult environment, Grandpa Mao in later generations has brought out the most popular and powerful army in history, not to mention the rich second generation who is so rich now!

Liu Jixing took the lead in spending all the money on the soldiers and their relatives, and only by settling their worries made these military families feel warm and feel that their own efforts for the country and homeland were worth it. Therefore, Liu Jixing established a large number of military-affiliated areas and post-war base areas in various places.

And the treatment given to these soldiers outside is only support and investment in weapons; In addition, there is a huge investment in information and intelligence, a huge network of contacts, and the development of a complex overall operating system, all of which support their funds for the development of separatist forces in the Southern Han border and other places. So that the entire intelligence agent system can run quickly, and provide the most advanced and complete information all the time.

Liu Jixing did not know very well how much money each place would cost and how much money it would need to operate the operation. But Liu Jixing still probably has a way of operation and method, and the biggest reliance now is to be good at using everyone's potential, so that each of them can become a unique figure in his environment.

Regarding the quarterly expenses reported by Shiwu and Yang Jiong's subordinates, Liu Jixing felt a little numb and felt a little numb when he heard it. If it weren't for the fact that there were still some belongings in the Liu family's inner treasury, Liu Jixing believed that he didn't know how long he could last and how long he could make his plan last.

Fortunately, with some reference from later generations and some mature understanding of affairs, Liu Jixing took advantage of some innate advantages, took the lead in developing some economic changes, and continued to get a considerable income. In particular, under his own instructions, Abbas was in full swing in the development of the royal palace and overseas trade, which also made him trust him day by day and could be entrusted with important tasks.

Liu Jixing actually doesn't have much pursuit, but he just thinks that when he reaches this era, the worst way to live is to let himself survive well. Successfully becoming the prince of the Han Dynasty in Lingnan made Liu Jixing feel that the wheel of history had not changed, but as he became the emperor of Lingnan, Liu Jixing felt that history was deviating.

is still the emperor, he was not controlled by Gong Chengshu and Lu Qiongxian and others, and became the crown prince emperor in history, and now he has his own ideas. The most important thing is that with the help of the Daozun, he can carry out his own actions in a grand manner.

Now that he has changed, Liu Jixing doesn't have too much to worry about, so he has to rely on his own strength to do something, even if it is a small change in history and a small change in the Southern Han court. Liu Jixing, who came from later generations, naturally did not think about strengthening the privileges of the ruling class and adding more privileges to himself, but wanted to give ordinary people a stable living environment.

This is a turbulent and an era of imminent reunification, and Liu Jixing feels that his hope is not far away.
