…

With the peace negotiation between China and the Golden Federation, Dazhong ushered in a rare period of peace.

Taking advantage of this peacetime that was won with great difficulty, Dazhong has made great efforts.

At the beginning of the year, Li Yan forcibly launched corn and sweet potatoes in Hebei, Ludi, and Henan with an iron fist, and now he is making a big deal - the sweet potatoes in Hebei, Ludi, and Henan are mostly two crops a year, and the spring potatoes have now been harvested. The yield per acre of sweet potatoes will be three times that of rice and other crops planted in good years, and it may be more. As for corn, although it has not yet been harvested, based on the experience of last year's experimental field and the current growth situation, its yield per mu may be higher than that of sweet potatoes.

Of course, this is also because of the wishes of the people, this year's rain is neither more nor less, and it is destined to be a big harvest year.

In such a good year, not only Hebei, Ludi, Henan three bumper harvest, Jianghuai, Jingchu, Shaanxi, Hedong, including Yanyun, Pingluanying three prefectures, will also have a very good harvest, as for Goryeo, Japan, Taiwan, Indochina Peninsula, it is a bumper harvest or will be a bumper harvest.

This made Li Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

Last year, although the officials tried their best to persuade the peasants, many areas were not recovered by the central government when it was time to sow seeds, and the people's hearts in the recovered areas were not yet stable, which led to many areas missing the time for sowing, so that the Central Plains did not harvest much grain last year.

Let's put it this way, in the past two years, almost all the grain needed in the Central Plains has been transported from Goryeo, Japan, Taiwan, the Indochina Peninsula and other places by the fleet that never sets, which has brought a heavy burden to Dazhong.

You know, there are tens of millions of people in the Central Plains!

With such a huge population base, it is simply impossible to rely on external relief alone.

Needless to say, if it is like last year, every grain in the Central Plains will have to be transported from Goryeo, Japan, Taiwan, and the Indochina Peninsula, and in two years at most, Goryeo, Japan, Taiwan, and the Indochina Peninsula will all have to be dragged down by the Central Plains.

Lucky!

Li Yan survived this most difficult hurdle!

It is precisely because of this that Li Yan often said to the left and right: "Recovering Yanyun and Liaozhou (Li Yan drew together the large and medium-sized territories south of Enzhou-paddock and north of Songtingguan-Yuguan, including Chifeng Mansion, and established a new state, which Li Yan named "Liaozhou"), although I am happy, I am even happier that corn and sweet potatoes can be transplanted successfully in my university. ”

There is food at home, and there is no panic in my heart.

No matter how good the policy is, it is not as good as real grain to calm people's minds.

It was only a little more than a year and a half after the establishment of the Great Zhong Dynasty, and only a little more than a year and a half after Li Yan replaced the Zhao family as emperor, and the people of the Central Plains were no longer hungry, and many families even saved some surplus grain.

In addition, Dazhong recovered Yanyun and Liaozhou, formed an alliance with Western Xia, negotiated peace with the Southern Song Dynasty, and made the world peaceful.

Such a big and medium and such a Li Yan were slowly accepted by the people of the Central Plains who had suffered a lot, and Zhao Song was slowly forgotten by the people of the Central Plains.

The reigns of Dazhong and Li Yan tended to stabilize.

But—

Li Yan was not complacent because of this, and he didn't even dare to relax his vigilance, because, in addition to the sea in the east, today's Dazhong, the Jin Kingdom and the Mongolian tribes in the north, the Western Xia in the west, and the Southern Song Dynasty in the south, none of them made Li Yan take it lightly.

In September, at the request of Li Yan, Yue Fei and the seventy or eighty thousand rebel troops under his command withdrew from the north - only the rebel army from Hebei and Yandi that Yue Fei had privately recruited returned, and the Chinese army under Yue Fei's original command continued to stay in Yandi.

Although Li Yan did not tell Yue Fei what he did when these rebels came back, according to the tradition of the Chinese army, Yue Fei could roughly guess that Li Yan should have sent these people back to let them undergo rotational training from the Recruit Department and the Political Department, which is also the training that all Chinese soldiers must go through.

In this regard, Yue Fei is very supportive.

This is because the soldiers who have been trained by the Recruit Department and the Political Department are generally more obedient and have a stronger sense of belonging.

According to the holy decree issued by Li Yan, Wang De was promoted to deputy commander, and Yue Fei temporarily handed over the military power of Yandi to Wang De, and then led the righteous army he recruited himself to the south.

Actually-

Regarding the imperial court recruiting them back to Beijing, Pang Rong, Fu Qing, Cao Cheng, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Li Jin and other leaders of the rebel army actually had no bottom in their hearts.

But Yue Fei patted his chest and assured that there would only be a reward for their trip, and nothing else.

As Yue Fei said, Li Yan and the imperial court did not disappoint Yue Fei, Pang Rong, Fu Qing, Cao Cheng, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Li Jin and other leaders of the rebel army, after arriving in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Li Yan personally met them one by one, and gave them a lot of rewards, real estate, money, beauties, everything, and at the same time promoted their official positions according to their past achievements.

After that, Li Yan also personally explained to Pang Rong and others the importance of going to the Recruit Department and the Political Department for further study.

With Li Yan, the emperor, personally coming forward to tell them about this, and after rewarding them, not to mention Pang Rong, they didn't have much psychological barrier in their hearts, even if they had, they could all pass.

Li Yan leveled Pang Rong, Fu Qing, Cao Cheng, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Li Jin and other leaders of the rebel army, and the rest of the soldiers were easy to deal with.

The recruit department and the political department of Dazhong were very mature, and with the cooperation of Yue Fei, Pang Rong and others, they quickly divided the 70,000 or 80,000 rebel troops into several parts and trained them separately.

After dealing with these seventy or eighty thousand rebels, Yue Fei was temporarily idle, and every day he went to the court or went to the library to read books.

During this period, Li Yan never summoned Yue Fei, nor did he reward Yue Fei, as if he was deliberately basking Yue Fei.

Some people see this, combined with Li Yan's personal handling of the righteous army recruited by Yue Fei, thinking that Li Yan is punishing Yue Fei, and some people are even pessimistic that Yue Fei, who is not yet twenty-six years old this year, may have come to the end of his career, and even more, they think that Li Yan is preparing to follow Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release the military power and begin to collect the military power of the generals, and Yue Fei is just the beginning, and soon the military power of Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Yang Yizhong, Wang Yan, Zhang Xian and other generals will also be taken back by Li Yan, and the big lieutenant general will live in peace with Silin in the future.

Regarding these discussions, neither Li Yan nor Yue Fei spoke out.

this day.

After the early dynasty ended, Li Yan stopped Yue Fei, who was about to leave with the crowd, "Yue Aiqing, I have something to say to you." ”

Seeing this, the other ministers of civil and military affairs knew that the pair of monarchs and ministers might be about to have a showdown.

Yue Fei responded: "No." ", and then left the Hammer Arch Hall with Li Yan.

Under the leadership of Li Yan, the two monarchs and ministers did not go to the apse, but went to the garden behind the vertical arch hall.

After walking for a while, Li Yan suddenly stopped, then turned to look at Yue Fei and said, "I didn't want you Yue Peng to guard Yandi. ”

When Yue Fei heard this, he bowed: "No." ”

Li Yan looked at Yue Fei and asked, "Aren't you curious why I didn't let you guard Yandi?" ”

Yue Fei replied: "Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the minister only needs to obey the order. ”

Li Yan heard this, and said, "This is what Zhu Wu told you, right?" He sat down on a wooden chair beside him.

Now, Jin Yiwei and the Governor's Mansion, which was born out of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, have planted eyeliner everywhere, how could Li Yan not know that the good old man Zhu Wu had talked to Yue Fei several times to appease Yue Fei?

Yue Fei didn't deny it: "The minister also thinks so. ”

After hearing this, Li Yan said noncommittally: "What do you think of those rumors outside?" ”

Yue Fei didn't hesitate or beat around the bush, but said directly: "They don't know the official family, and the official family is definitely not the kind of unenterprising emperor they think!" ”

Li Yan said quietly: "Oh? What do you think? ”

Yue Fei nodded and said, "The minister dares to vouch for the minister's head!" ”

Li Yan looked at Yue Fei and asked, "You have so much confidence in me?" ”

Yue Fei said: "Just as the official family has absolute confidence in the minister, the minister also has absolute confidence in the official family. ”

After hearing this, Li Yan smiled and said, "How do you know that I have confidence in you?" ”

Yue Fei said: "If the official family has no confidence in the minister, it is impossible to support the minister all the time, and without the support of the official family, the minister will never be able to recover Hebei and Yandi." ”

Li Yan glanced at Yue Fei up and down, and said, "You Yue Pengju have also learned to slap horses?" ”

Yue Fei said: "What the minister said is psychological, and the minister can swear by the sky." ”

Li Yan didn't let Yue Fei swear, but said again: "Then guess again, why didn't I arrange your position during this time?" ”

If you change someone, you will definitely say, "The minister can't guess." Whether he can guess or not.

But Yue Fei didn't, he said directly: "The official family should want the ministers to lead the troops to attack the Song Dynasty." ”

That one...... Because I earned too little, the two of us quarreled again.

Writing a book is really a matter of mood, so although we are now in a truce, I still can't get into the state of writing a book, so I can only upload the chapter I wrote before the quarrel, and I won't write the second chapter today.

By the way, I would like to advise you, without a certain economic foundation, don't jump into the fire pit of marriage.
