Zhou Nan took his three hundred guards and rushed to Xianghe with Zhou Fu first, and there were seven members of the Eagle Guards under Zhou Fu. When Zhou Nan passed through the Xianghe River to relieve the siege of Zunhua this time, he had already scattered all the Eagle Guards under Zhou Fu and Gao Shouxiao, so that these team members could go deep into Pingzhou Road, investigate the situation on Pingzhou Road, and make targeted countermeasures.

A few days ago, with the siege of Zunhua City lifted, those members of the Eagle Guards who heard the news, those who were nearby, also came back one after another, only a few people who had left Yuguan and infiltrated the Jin Kingdom had not returned, or sent a letter back.

Gao Shouxiao's team has been sent to Zunhua to facilitate the transmission of news in Zunhua and in all directions of the east and west. Zhou Nan didn't stop, but just took the three remaining Eagle Guards and went back to Yanjing City.

The last time I left Yanjing City was on the ninth day of the first month, and it has been almost ten days now. Although it has only been ten days, Zhou Nan has a feeling of being in the world.

In ten days, Zhang Jue was eliminated, and the main army under Zhang Jue was scattered, and some of them surrendered to themselves. When he left Zunhua, there was still the last of Zhang Jun's rebellious army that had escaped, and a large area of Pingzhou had not been recovered. However, Zhou Nan didn't care about it anymore. With Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi under the command, whether in terms of troops, morale, or weapons and equipment, there is no opponent in the Pingzhou territory. Although there are still more than 10,000 horses on the Pingzhou Road, they are scattered and stationed in various states and counties, and some are stationed on the border adjacent to the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty. The troops are scattered, and there is no backbone of the character to lead, and in front of the soldiers and horses of Pingzhou, there is only the end of being broken one by one. Besides, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi still have more than 200 explosive arrows, not to mention in the Pingzhou territory, even in the Jin Kingdom, they are also invincible.

As for the governance of the various prefectures and counties after the recovery, naturally there are officials sent by Yanjing City to take up their posts in the city, and there are garrison infantry troops assigned to various cities by Shiyue and Taogu, which is enough to firmly control these prefectures and counties.

In fact, when it comes to the things that can most stabilize the cities, it is the things that Zhou Nan now carries with him and is ready to take to Yu Liyan - the land decree that he discussed with Li Shi in the past few days, and the decree that he will be the supervisor.

Only by the desire of the people can the national fortune be long-lasting. When his decrees are promulgated, the common people can live here in peace and have enough food and clothing, and they will truly support the current imperial court.

From Xianghe to Yanjing City, it took less than half a day to arrive. Zhou Nan let his personal guards and eagle guards go back to his house, and he took Zhou Fu directly to the palace, he wanted to meet Yu Liyan and Gao Yun before going to Nanchao Tokyo, after he left, there were some things that the two of them needed to do.

It was past noon, Zhou Nan took Zhou Fu to the palace, and the palace maid saw that it was a concubine, so she hurriedly stepped forward to guide Zhou Nan to the side hall where the princess lived on weekdays.

Yu Liyan and Gao Yun had just eaten and were talking, when they heard that the horse was back, they were surprised, and they hurriedly greeted them outside the hall, and the second daughter went up to greet Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan returned the salute, only saying that he had not eaten yet, Gao Yun hurriedly asked the palace maid to send food to the horse, and asked people to take Zhou Fu to the outside room and send some food over.

When Gao Yun returned to the hall, he saw Zhou Nanzheng take out two thick manuscripts and hand them to Yu Liyan, Yu Liyan saw Gao Yun coming back, and hurriedly called Gao Yun to sit over, and the two of them took the manuscript together and looked at it.

When the meal was delivered, Zhou Nan was not polite, and ate opposite Yu Liyan. Zhou Nan has never been particular about food, as long as he can eat enough, it is better to have meat. Zhou Nan ate unhurriedly, and finally Yu Liyan put down the manuscript and said with joy on his face: "These two decrees, you don't have to show them to the people of Hanlin Academy, the concubine is in Danzhou, and she has long had the idea of changing the agricultural tax, but she has a lot of clues, and she doesn't dare to change it easily, but she sets the tax the same as Da Lang thinks." I am ashamed that the concubine has been thinking about it for many years, but it is not as detailed as Da Lang's few pages. As for those who have served in the military, the taxes are lower than ordinary people, and the land issued by the government can be rented out and sold, which is something that the concubine has never imagined. It's just that it still needs to go through the motions, send someone to transcribe it, and send it to the person left behind in the department for approval, and if there is no change or refutation, it can be promulgated and enforced. ”

The authority of the law must be recognized by each department. He asked Yu Liyan: "The land decree is just a few articles listed after a brief discussion between me and my subordinates, and if it is to be promulgated locally, it needs to be carefully considered, and it must not be sloppy." I wonder what the princess thinks about this prison decree? Possibly? ”

Yu Liyan hadn't spoken yet, Gao Yun said with a smile on the side: "Gather the world's skilled craftsmen to gather together to form a prison, and the princess sister is already discussing with several sisters in the Hanlin Academy." I just didn't think of dividing the prison into two parts, one for research and development, and the other for production. ”

Seeing Zhou Nan looking at him, Yu Liyan said with a smile: "The concubine has been working with Yu Min and others in the past few days to compile the matter of calling craftsmen and imperial examinations. It's just that although I heard Da Lang talk about it when I was in the cottage, there are still omissions. Or Da Lang thinks in detail, there are many craftsmen in the world, but there are extremely ingenious people, there are also crude ones, extremely ingenious people research and do, and rough ones are made according to the model. As Sage Confucius said, we should teach according to their aptitude, and we should naturally recruit craftsmen according to their aptitude. Depending on the concubine's body, this will be a prison decree that can also be enforced. ”

Zhou Nan saw that Yu Liyan agreed to these two decrees in a row, and said with a smile: "Don't praise the princess, there are still many unfinished points, such as how to pay the craftsmen who are summoned?" If there is something new to do, how should it be rewarded? ”

"These trivial things naturally don't need to be bothered by Da Lang." Yu Liyan said, "In addition to the monthly silver, where there is a new product, the silver will be added to the first class, and according to the new product ingenuity, style, etc., the reward will be 100 or 1,000 copper coins; According to the maker, count the number of his daily production, and pay him according to the amount - Dalang, you have set these very clearly, and what is lacking is to calculate the amount of money and wages according to the market price. Naturally, someone will count these and add them when the time comes. ”

Zhou Nan was very relieved to see that Yu Liyan was not just talking casually, but had already figured out the content of the two decrees he had written in his heart.

Yu Liyan praised again: "Da Lang, do you know that only this section of the wage calculation method will be implemented in Yanjing City in the near future." ”

Gao Yun listened to Yu Liyan praise Zhou Nan on the side, and asked, "What kind of method is Da Lang, is it really so powerful?" ”

When Yu Liyan was in Danzhou, in addition to farming, there were also craftsmen from all walks of life in the city, so they naturally knew the pros and cons, and said: "Not only that, but I'm afraid that these hundreds of industries will be more prosperous than before." In the past, these craftsmen had to have a full stomach, but in the future, if they work more, their wages will also be more, and everyone will have to rush to do more. Of course, it's more prosperous than before. ”

Zhou Nan saw that Yu Liyan could see from it that he could stimulate the enthusiasm of craftsmen, and couldn't help but look at Yu Liyan with admiration, and said: "The princess knows the truth very well, but my class has an axe." ”

Yu Liyan said: "Although the concubine knows what is going on, she can't think of a way. Please also tell me about the arrangements for the imperial examination? ”

Zhou Nan did not shirk and said: "There is only one point, which must be clear: the examination cannot only rely on poetry and scriptures, but also on law, criminal litigation, and accounting planning. In the future, only by employing people in various places can we avoid mistakes. ”

"The concubine has written it down." Yu Liyan asked again: "I don't know how long Da Lang will live in the city?" ”

Zhou Nan replied: "I went to see my uncle this evening, and tomorrow I will take Yun'er to Sanssouci Village, and I still have something for her to do, and then I will go south to Bianliang in the south." ”
