Dali originally had eight prefectures, four towns, and four counties.

Nowadays, it is almost preserved eight mansions, and another Qujing mansion is set up, which governs 36 departments of Dali.

The eight prefects, all of whom were civil officials transferred by Yang Lin from Bianjing, tried out a new policy that would extend to the entire Great Song Dynasty in the future on this land that had been away from the Central Plains for a long time.

Yang Yi Baa City, in Yang Lin's courtyard, eight prefects gathered here.

It has been half a month since the implementation of the new policy, and everyone has come here with some officials from their own government.

"Yes, in general, it is still smooth, if you have any difficulties, just bring them up, this official is here to help you solve problems." Yang Lin listened to everyone's report, elated, and unsatisfied.

Different from the lifeless, pickled and filthy officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang, this place is full of vitality and hope.

All the officials spoke freely, and in a foreign land far from the center of power, or even far from their homeland, there was no intrigue and calculation, no scheming, and everyone worked together to improve the new policy.

This group of officials are all young people carefully selected by Yang Lin, and they have all stayed in the school under the Yanqing view and have been influenced by Yang Xue's pragmatic thoughts.

Liu Siyuan, the prefect of Tengchong Prefecture, got up and hugged his fists and said: "Shaozai, the soldiers and horses here are mostly native soldiers from the 36th village of Wuman. After all, these people are the private soldiers of the former Toast Lord, and if someone secretly tricks them, we are afraid that we will be caught off guard. It is better to transfer troops from other places and come to Dali to guard, which can be regarded as a deterrent. ”

Yang Lin thought about it carefully, it made sense, there are all barbarian soldiers here, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have a different heart.

"Fang Qifo, write an order in my voice, and transfer 50,000 soldiers from Su to Dali. The Jiangnan soldiers are too much to use, and we will have to eliminate them sooner or later. At least we have to change the military system, of course, this is already a later story, let's try out Dali first. ”

The new deal includes a new military system, and this reform is particularly important, and the most difficult thing to do is the policy of leaning and strengthening the army, which is bound to touch the interests of some military generals. There is also the question of how to resettle the Xiang army after it is unarmored and returned to the field.

Yang Lin beckoned lightly, asked Fang Qifo to step forward, and said, "Since there are soldiers coming, when the soldiers arrive, you will immediately pile up the barbarian soldiers and horses to the border of Jiaozhi." ”

"The people of the Li Dynasty have always been domineering, repeatedly violating our city, and increasing troops on the border, just afraid that it will cause their dissatisfaction?"

Yang Lin raised his eyebrows, and said unhappily: "Lao Tzu's soldiers are strong and strong, and he has to take into account the feelings of others when he mobilizes soldiers and horses in his own territory, it's a joke, increase troops!" ”

Fang Qifo nodded, he had already begun to plan the plan in his heart, it seemed that it was necessary to understand the current situation of the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty in advance.

If you want to support one side, you also need this Li Dynasty to have two forces, otherwise they are monolithic, and it is really difficult to support one out of thin air. It really can't be done, so we can only look for ambitious people who are unwilling to be mediocre and downcast, and they will take the lead in inciting the people to rebel and mess up Jiaozhi.

"What else is the problem?" Yang Lin looked around and found that everyone had already gotten up to speak, so he asked in unison.

No one answered, it seemed that they had already raised the existing questions, Yang Lin turned his head and asked, "Have you written them down?" ”

Behind him, the four officials nodded in unison, indicating that they had all been recorded.

Yang Lin nodded and said: "I will check and solve it one by one, and each government will go once, and after you go back, you will continue to govern with peace of mind, repair the city, divide the fields, and persuade the farmers to teach mulberry." The land here in Dali is fertile, the rain is abundant, the four seasons are like spring, if the development is good, it is also a land of fish and rice. ”

All the officials got up one after another, and after bidding farewell to Yang Lin, they walked out of the main hall and returned to the state capital.

In Hangzhou City, on the third day of Uncle Zhang's arrival, he gathered the generals of the box soldiers in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to check the roster of box soldiers.

It doesn't matter if you don't check, this time it burst the bubble of the box soldiers, and there are 90,000 box soldiers in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and seventy percent of them are empty salaries.

Uncle Zhang pressed the news at night, and under the escort of the Governor's Mansion, he did not go out in the government office for seven days.

There were already secret agents who sent the news to Dali and Yang Lin's case.

The generals in Jiangnan all knew that the new Jiangnan Ten Prefecture Inspectors had counted the roster of soldiers in Dali, but there was no movement.

Under the panic of people, everyone's reactions are different, some people commit suicide in fear of sin, some people pretend to be fine, and some people run back and forth...

It's a pity that Uncle Zhang's gate has been closed all night, and thousands of capable soldiers are on standby, and the guards who patrol the government office to patrol back and forth all night long, changing guards all night, leaving no vacancies.

Anyone who came to pay respects at this time was gone, and the atmosphere in Jiangnan, which had been peaceful for a hundred years, became unprecedentedly tense for a while.

In the government office, Uncle Zhang, who had not shown up for a long time, was playing against Yin Muhong at the table.

Both of these people are good players, and after a fight, the chessboard is extremely miserable.

"Haha, how about a draw in this game?" Uncle Zhang said with a smile.

Yin Muhong thought that no one would be able to win against anyone, so he spread his hands and said, "That's the only way." ”

"You can shake hands and make peace on this chessboard, but the situation in Jiangnan is just afraid that it can't be good." Yin Muhong asked softly, without wiping his eyelids.

When Uncle Zhang looked at it at night, he knew that he had already made up his mind, this person was Yang Shaozai's henchman, a person who was extremely close, and it was said that his daughter was also Yang Shaozai's concubine.

His meaning, it is very likely that it will also be Shaozai's meaning, Zhang Shuye has no intention of killing in Jiangnan.

In his opinion, the disadvantages of Da Song are indeed serious, but what Shaozai did was a bit overkill.

How can there be such a killing, isn't this the work of a tyrant... There are some people who should be able to persuade them to return to the right path.

Afraid that the Duwei Mansion in front of him would raise the butcher's knife again, Zhang Shuye asked tentatively: "According to Yin's proposal, how should this matter be handled?" ”

"Haha, Yin is just a small lift, how dare he say such a big thing."

"Brother Yin, why should you be too humble, who doesn't know that you are a wise man of Shaozai, and you still want to give advice." Uncle Zhang asked with a smile.

"This matter has to be pondered so much, you look at the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, their problems are no less than those of the box soldiers, and even far greater than the box soldiers. The family of the forbidden army generals is more daring than the Jiangnan generals, what did Shaozai do?

He uprooted the family of the forbidden army, but he showed mercy to 600,000 soldiers. These military families and military dependents who had been oppressed by the forbidden army families were all rescued from slavery. The strong are still soldiers, and the treatment is ten times that of before, and the weak also have a livelihood, and they are no longer people. Today's events are a blessing or a curse for the Jiangnan soldiers. ”

Uncle Zhang put away the chessboard at night, sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was over, it was not a disaster for the box soldiers, so what about the civilian and military generals who caused the situation of the box soldiers, I am afraid that it will be another bloody storm.
