Chapter 644: The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty
Suppressing bandits is the task of the town army, and with officials in the center and coordination, these matters will be relatively easy to solve. In particular, the Central Plains region is not as mountainous as other places, and these bandits will soon be killed and surrendered, and the descendants of the mountains will be cleared out in less than two months. Once the local community settles down, it will naturally be of great benefit to the people's livelihood in the future. The people found that the current government is completely different from the previous government, which is not only close to the people but also very efficient.
Of course, the most popular is the rezoning of the fields and the re-verification of the household register. In particular, those policies that had been implemented in Datang before were all implemented in Youji and Hebei at this time.
The people who were originally panicked, after getting these benefits, naturally would not miss Yan Guo anymore. What's more, Yan Guo is not a good person to them.
It would have been difficult to make such a large-scale policy change in the Central Plains. After all, there are many families in the Central Plains, and their power is also very strong.
Fortunately, after the war for most of the previous half a year, these families have been greatly weakened.
Especially those famous surnames who followed the Yan Imperial Court, many of them followed Murong Wei directly to Qingzhou. Especially the Murong clan, which occupies the majority of them, a large number of clans are either killed in battle, captured, or fled.
Even if it is the rest of the people, under the circumstances of this time, who has the courage to confront the government. As long as you are not stupid~, everyone can see what the Tang troops stationed in various places are preparing to do. Unless you are disgusted with your life, it is better to be honest and obedient.
And the fields that were confiscated from them were just used to distribute them to the people. Once the landless people got this, plus the government gave them seeds and farming tools, and even ploughing cattle, it was naturally easy to settle down.
A strong government, coupled with effective policies and methods, led to a bold New Deal that began in mid-August, when the war ended. By the beginning of November, it had only been more than two months, and the entire Central Plains region had gradually entered the process of recovery.
Such efficiency has to be said to make Jiang Zuo in the south, especially Yan Guo, a little dumbfounded. After all, they still thought that after Li Xin took the Central Plains, he would be anxious because of the problems that happened one after another in various places.
And in this way, their idea of wanting to see the excitement naturally fell through.
On the tenth day of November, Li Xin ordered the class to return to the dynasty and officially rush from Yecheng to Chang'an.
This time, he did not pass by Shangdang, which was closer to the road, but went directly south from Yecheng, crossed Hanoi all the way west along the Yellow River, and then crossed the river through Xingyang and Hujiao, and went south along Luoshui to the south of Luoyang, and then crossed the pass through Lantian in Shangluo County and entered Guanzhong.
Such a trip down the road is basically equivalent to inspecting the east of Guanzhong. By the time he returned to Chang'an, it was already the end of December, and there were no days left before the Chinese New Year.
This great victory far exceeded the previous wars, so when Li Xin returned to Chang'an, Wang Meng and the others specially prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him.
Ten miles outside the city, Deng Qiang and Hong Yi led the soldiers and horses back to the camp to settle down, while Li Xin walked towards the palace together accompanied by Wang Meng.
Everywhere along the way, the people waited eagerly, cheering enthusiastically, and even in the crowd, Li Xin seemed to hear someone shouting long live. However, he didn't care about this, and walked slowly, smiling and greeting the people until he entered the palace.
After entering the palace, the surroundings were truly quiet. At this time, Queen Zhou Ting was already leading a pair of children to greet each other in front of the palace gate.
"Your Highness went on an expedition and returned with a great victory, it was really hard!" After seeing Li Xin, Zhou Ting saluted.
"The queen takes care of her children and presides over the affairs of the harem, and she is also tired! Let's go in and talk! Li Xin smiled, took her hand and walked inside.
Li Yue and Li Yi also came up to greet Li Xin, and the two little guys bowed under the leadership of the palace attendants. However, although these two little guys looked solemn, they obviously didn't understand the reason.
Especially when they saw Princess Qinghe who was following Li Xin, their interest in her was much higher than their interest in Li Xin. After the salute, he kept looking at the little girl who was not much older than himself, as if he wanted to go and play with her.
Princess Qinghe followed Li Xin back this time, and Li Xin also talked to her a lot along the way. In general, although she was born in the royal family of Yan Kingdom, there are still many differences between her and the princesses from the Central Plains Dynasty.
This is, of course, because the Murong clan itself has the habits of the grassland Hu clan, which has not been completely wiped out. Although they tried their best to learn the Central Plains Dynasty after they entered the Central Plains, there were still many things that remained the same.
Therefore, in terms of etiquette alone, Princess Qinghe has learned relatively little. She is a little girl who has been raised in the deep palace since she was a child, so although she is somewhat familiar with human affairs, she doesn't particularly understand it after all.
Maybe before she left Qingzhou, Murong Ke and others specially taught her, but at her young age, how much can she understand! At least, after getting along along the way, Li Xin found that under the hard work and strength of this little girl, she was actually still a childish heart.
But for Li Xin, this is a good thing. After all, he didn't want to find himself a daughter-in-law who was always thinking about avenging the country, in that case, the Tang Dynasty might have a big problem in the future.
"Go play with her!" Seeing the two little guys, they seemed to be very curious, and Li Xin said.
Hearing this, Li Yue and Li Yi suddenly became happy, and hurriedly trotted all the way over. And when Princess Qinghe saw these two children of the same age as herself, she immediately swept away the panic in her heart about coming to a strange place, and carefully touched it.
Seeing that they were getting along well, Li Xin led the group towards the inner garden. And Zhou Ting, who was beside her, couldn't help but look at Princess Qinghe twice, and couldn't hide the joy in her heart when she saw this little girl who was carved in pink and jade.
"Is this the daughter-in-law that His Highness is looking for for Yue'er? It's so cute to watch! Zhou Ting said.
"Yes! However, whether she can become Yue'er's daughter-in-law will have to be talked about later! After all, this child is from Yan Kingdom, and Yan Kingdom still exists, but if Yan Kingdom is destroyed in the future, I am afraid that she will have some waves here after all. From now on, this king will hand her over to the queen to teach, hoping to be really with Yue'er in the future! Li Xin nodded and whispered to her.
Hearing this, Zhou Ting immediately understood, this is an important matter. Therefore, when Yang Yang replied: "Your Highness, rest assured, the concubine will definitely handle this matter, so that this child can stay in the palace with peace of mind and grow up with Yue'er!" ”
