The locusts in the Beijing Division, although they are still raging until winter, show their tenacious and terrifying vitality, but under the inducement of Han Rong's "locust money", the Gyeonggi soldiers and civilians who filled their stomachs soon took this group of pests majestically, lest they run away, or be frozen to death by God, in just half a month, the locusts were swept away, and the mansion of Princess Tang'an alone caught seven buckets of locusts, and the emperor Li Shi personally issued an edict to praise Jingzhao Mansion and the counties of Jinnei, and at the same time Han Rong also said to the emperor that the eggs of locusts like drought and are afraid of moisture, so the emperor was ruthless, Forced destruction of the water created by the magnates on the rivers and canals around the capital, and most of the orchards and fields could be watered, so that the locust plague would not recur after the spring was warm.

In addition, Li Mi's strategy also played a big role, and the emperor was originally worried that if he set up a large-scale camp in the northwest and set up a patrol courtyard, it would cause a huge burden to the Du Zhi Division, but this worry proved to be completely unnecessary. Li Mi persuaded Zhang Yansheng and Cui Zao to take out more than 100,000 pieces of cloth from the treasury.

Of course, these cloths are all shoddy, belonging to the defective products of tribute, the emperor himself does not use them, and he does not dare to use them to reward the soldiers, but Li Mi wants to turn waste into treasure, he asked the palace workshop to dye all these inferior cloths with beautiful colors, and transport them to the northwest place.

It happened that when the Tang Dynasty and Xifan negotiated peace, Longzhou, Jingzhou, Lingzhou and other places all opened mutual markets, and the land of Xifan produced many calves, and used these livestock to transport supplies to the garrisons in the border areas.

Li Mi instructed Liu Haibin, Fengxiang Yin Duan Xiushi, and Lingzhou Governor Kang Rizhi to use these inferior cloths to exchange calves with the border soldiers of Xifan, and finally the price was pressed to the point that one piece of cloth was exchanged for one calf, and thirty or forty thousand heads were taken away, and there was still a lot of surplus, and then Li Mi distributed these calves to the border army or the towns of the Shence army for camping.

For agricultural tools and seeds, Li Mi also had long considered, he suggested to the emperor that since the year of Tianbao, officials have offended countless people in Changliu Lingnan, Lingxi, and Qianfu, and there are no less than two thousand in Lingnan alone, and these officials are in a miasma land, and they are all afraid of returning to the court without their lives, and now His Majesty can issue an edict to allow them the opportunity to reform themselves, let them pay a ransom, and then move them to the northwest to enrich the border defense. It can be sent to the northwest border town and used as the start-up capital for the camp, so that it will not cause a burden to the Duzhi Division.

At the same time, Han Huan's younger brother Han Hui played the emperor in the second state of Jinshang, saying that Shang Yu had a large number of copper mines in the mountains, and it was very close to the Beijing division, so he could add furnaces to smelt and mint money, and the imperial court could make 110,000 yuan of profits every year, and could alleviate the money shortage.

The emperor was overjoyed, so he carried out according to the words of Li Mi and others, and sure enough, a large amount of money and rice were raised in a short time, and then the money was distributed to Fangzhen, which had an iron official, and rushed to forge and smelt agricultural tools and military weapons, among which Gaoyue's Xingyuan Mansion received 20,000 yuan.

Not only became the defense observer of the five states, but also obtained a large number of orders for Xingyuan Mansion, and at the same time, as a member of the alliance of loyal ministers, witnessing the success of the imperial court's border town policy, Gao Yue's trip to Chang'an can be said to have great gains.

After the winter solstice Hanyuan Palace, Gao Yue gave the emperor a letter of thanks for his resignation and prepared to return to Xingyuan to govern.

The emperor also personally summoned him and Wei Gao in the side hall of Xuanzheng, exhorted Gao Yuefan, and said to them: "You two go back from Chencang Road side by side, so as to facilitate the delivery of Feng and Xing Prefectures." ”

Although Wei Gao wanted to bring the Fengyi army into Dongchuan, the state soldiers, soil regiments, finances, etc., all had to stay in Feng and Xing Prefectures, so there had to be a delivery procedure with Gao Yue.

At this time, Gao Yue said to the emperor that I would soon implement the "government military system" in the entire five prefectures of Xingyuan Mansion, and I also wanted to revive the school halls in the prefectures and counties, but there was a shortage of manpower, so I asked Dr. Su Yan, who had recruited the Guozijian, to go to Xingyuan Mansion to guide the study of the palace.

"Interesting, Gao Qing, you are the first person to let Dr. Taixue go to the local area to open a museum." The Emperor thought it was a little incredible.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the Guozijian system was called a clear soup and little water, Gao Yue had a deep understanding when he was a student, and the country is now unable to engage in education without intention - since every year the local "township tribute" is more than enough to come, then the Guozijian is mainly based on impractical scriptures, of course, grandma does not love uncle and uncle. Therefore, those doctors and teaching assistants wanted to go to the local shogunate as assistants as soon as they had a way, hoping to get rid of this sea of suffering as soon as possible.

But Gao Yue is strange, others hired the academic officials of the Guozijian to go to the shogunate to be responsible for the "Expression of the Letter" and other documents, that is, the secretary, but Gao Yue still wanted Su Yan to go to Xingyuan Mansion to engage in this education, so the emperor felt strange.

However, Li Shi also likes literary elegance, and Gao Yue's opinion, he happily agreed.

In the Guozi Prison of Wubenfang, Su Yan squatted on the steps of his humble house, his wife has not died of illness in the past few years, but she has not recovered, she is still lying on the old couch, coughing constantly, and sometimes she has to support her sick body to sew up the clothes of her husband and children.

And Dr. Su, is repairing his own fishing nets and bamboo baskets, in the past few years, don't look at the whole country endlessly, but Su Yan still can't move, the long martial artist turned into a rebel army into the city, the emperor and the bureaucrats moved to Fengtian City, at that time Gao Yue sent someone to call the masters and apprentices of the country to go together, but it happened that Dr. Su went to Kunming Pool to fish, and when he came back in the evening, he found that the city gate was full of fleeing people, he felt that it was wrong, so he ran home to pick up his wife and children, and this time he could never leave.

However, during the fall of Chang'an, he lived very safely, probably because the eunuch had no sense of existence, and the rebels were not interested in coercing them at all, but Zhu Jun also sent some rice from time to time to relieve him.

But during this time, Dr. Su's eleven-year-old daughter and five-year-old son still died.

Looking at her daughter's corpse, Su Yan couldn't help herself in pain, and soon this child would be able to get married, but who would have thought that God would ask her to be born into my house, but Su Yan couldn't cry anymore, and wrote a sacrifice to her daughter, and realized that she had no money to treat her daughter's funeral, so she could only pull a cart by herself, and hastily buried a pair of children on the plateau outside the city, and the tomb was next to Zhang Tanzhi, who died in Guozijian.

When I was out of the city, the rebel soldiers asked Dr. Su about his condition at the city gate, and they all sympathized with him and did not feel embarrassed, saying that if you want to go to Fengtian or go back to your hometown in Fujian, we will help you write a long note, and you can escape after burying the child.

Su Yan smiled bitterly and said, I can't cross Xianyang Plain (occupied by Li Xilie at that time) I'm afraid I'll die, forget it, if I die, I'll die in Chang'an City!

Later, when the emperor returned, he did not embarrass him (the emperor did not know about this person at all), and Dr. Su's life was still poor.

He thought that he still had to survive, and that there were still a few children who were not yet adults, and that his ambition to use articles to navigate the world was gone, and he just wanted to fulfill the responsibilities of a father.

"Well, I seem to hear the sound of a cart and a horse." At this time, the sick wife on the couch suddenly came to say this.

Su Yan squinted his eyes, and after a while, he saw that at the gate of Guozijian, there was a group of people leading two horses, and after making a salute in front of the Lu Sage Palace, they walked towards the school hall.
