Recently, the faces of the people of Handan have been filled with smiles, and even the petty officials who usually flaunt their martial arts have begun to speak kindly. Not to mention those homeless people who don't know which country they don't know, they were also temporarily sheltered by the city gatekeepers. And those disputes and trivial things between neighbors are even more extinct. Handan City suddenly became the best district in the Central Plains.

The entire city of Handan is also decorated. Not only were the walls repaired, the palaces painted, and defensive equipment added, but even the streets were renovated. In particular, in order to increase the drainage function of Qianghandan Castle, drainage pipes were added on both sides. The main thoroughfares of the Great Northern City are also filled with stones, abandoning the previous dirt pavement. At first, people didn't get used to it, but soon everyone noticed that the muddy situation on rainy days improved.

At the same time, the functional areas of Handan City have also been reorganized, not only redividing the boundaries of the previous functional areas, clarifying the functions of each area, but also specially selecting the residential areas and commercial areas separately and setting up different management agencies for management.

In any case, through a series of adjustments and repairs, Handan City has not only been renovated, but also become a fully functional and well-defended fortified city, and the probability of surrendering after being besieged by Wei has been reduced to a minimum.

It can be said that Handan has undergone earth-shaking changes in the recent period, and of course, everyone knows why this change happened.

"Your Majesty, this is the etiquette process of your wedding, please be sure to keep it in mind and never go wrong." Fei Yi handed over two or three rolls of bamboo slips and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this is the various etiquette rules that you need to abide by on your wedding day, please be sure to memorize them, so as not to lose your etiquette." Zhao Cheng handed over two or three rolls of bamboo slips and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of guests you need to meet on your wedding day, many of them are important envoys from various countries, please be sure to memorize them to avoid any jokes." Lou slowly handed over two or three rolls of bamboo slips and said respectfully.

"Your ......"

"Enough!" Zhao Yong said desperately, "Isn't it just getting married?" Why is it so grand? How long does it take for Lone to remember these things? ”

The three of them looked at each other, glanced at each other, or Fei Yi took a step forward, and said to Zhao Yong: "Your Majesty, my Zhao State regards itself as the Central Plains Shangbang, and every move is naturally subject to etiquette. These things presented by the ministers are all for the purpose of better completing this wedding, neither losing the bearing of Zhao Guo, nor losing your face, and please bear with you. ”

"It's not alone." Zhao Yong said with a sad face, "Although the king of a country, the wedding should not be taken lightly, but these things are not only condescending, but also extremely cumbersome. Lone has to deal with so many government affairs every day, and the war situation in Daijun is still unclear, so how can everyone calm down and deal with these things? ”

"This..."Fei Yi also realized that it was indeed a bit difficult for Zhao Yong to do this, because Zhao Yong was just a child after all, and he had not yet been determined. What's more, Zhao Guo has indeed had a war outside recently, and if he wants to completely carry these things that even he is afraid of, he really can't bear it.

"Your Majesty, the etiquette should not be wasted, otherwise, what is the difference between my Zhao State and the Qin State." Zhao Cheng saw that Feiyi was a little loose, and hurriedly came out to help, "Although the monarch rules the military according to Hu, please also use etiquette and law to conduct state affairs." Otherwise, the old minister really has no face to sacrifice and pray in front of the ancestors and ancestors. He said, a big gift, prostrate before Zhao Yong's several cases.

"Okay, okay, uncle, hurry up, and Lone agrees." Zhao Yong said helplessly. Although he is arbitrary in many things, these old ministers turn a blind eye and don't care about him, but as long as it touches their bottom line, Zhao Chengcheng will not give up. Zhao Yong also knew that this was a tacit understanding between monarchs and ministers, if it weren't for this, I am afraid that Zhao Cheng would have gone to the opposite side of him a long time ago.

Since the implementation of the "Restoration," Zhao Guo has tasted the sweetness this year.

Let's talk about grain first, according to the preliminary statistics of Sikong Temple, in the year of the Restoration, with the implementation of military tun reclamation in the border areas, the frontier solved part of the grain problem on its own, and the amount of grain supplied by Handan decreased; The exposure and recovery of some hidden fields made the number of acres of registered fields 20 percent more than that of Zhao Suhou's 15 years, and the grain provided according to the extra land restored the grain output of the entire Zhao State to the level of Zhao Suhou's 18 years, and the granaries of Handan, Zhongmu and even Jinyang were almost full.

Let's talk about taxes. Zhao Yong was a good businessman in his previous life, and he was very familiar with the rules of the later life, not to mention the current era when economic thinking is almost zero. On the one hand, Zhao Cheng grasped the overall economic situation, and on the other hand, he applied some economic rules familiar to his later generations to actual government affairs from time to time, and adjusted the economic structure of Zhao very smoothly. Judging from the data, Zhao Guo's tax revenue, especially commercial tax, has decreased in a year, mainly because the land policy implemented by Zhao Yong has been well implemented, which has made the proportion of agricultural tax increase steadily. At the same time, although there is no explicit order to prohibit the trade in luxury goods, because of the information that Zhao Yong reveals from time to time, the officials are also clever insects, and they understand that Zhao Yong is beating the side drum, so it depends on whether they understand it or not. Therefore, the extravagance of the upper echelons of the nobility of the Zhao State was forbidden. To a certain extent, it promoted the level of agricultural production in Zhao State.

However, Zhao Yong did not completely hope to "emphasize agriculture and suppress business", because commerce itself promotes the progress of national production. Therefore, he was extremely careful in adjusting his economic policy, and even set up a price list in Handan in the royal city, and asked the minister and the inner government to send people to inquire about the news every day, which was more attentive than Zhao Chengdu.

Finally, the political pattern of the Zhao State. Through the adjustment of the three policies of the Restoration, the political pattern of the DPRK and China has begun to emerge. The Daijun faction headed by Fei Yi received the full support of Zhao Yong, both militarily and politically. In particular, in the military, although there is no clear decree, as long as Zhongshan is not destroyed, the core policy of using Daigun as a military base will not change. That's why Daijun is growing so fast. More importantly, as one of the four secretaries, Fei Yi controls the interpretation and promotion of the law, and has a good supervision and restraint on Zhao Cheng of the Gong faction.

And another rising faction is the Handan faction headed by Zhao Bao. This faction and the Jinyang faction headed by Zhao Cheng were originally of the same origin, but the two factions parted ways because of their different views on the use of foreign talents. The Handan system is composed of the former Handan officials, plus the rise of Pang Cong in recent years, and gradually became a hardcore "loyal monarch faction", they are different from the Daijun system, the Daijun system is not my race, generals like Li Yan, and there are also people in the family who intermarry with the Hu people. The Handan department is an authentic Central Plains person.

Compared with the scenery of the other two factions, the Jinyang faction with its base camp in Jinyang has been suppressed, although it is not comprehensive, but compared with the scene of Zhao Yong's dominance before his accession to the throne, the current situation is indeed a bit miserable. Although Zhao Cheng worked hard to support the forces of the Gong clan, but by the officials of the Handan department, the Jinyang department was not as good as before, not to mention, there was a Daijun system next to him.

In addition to these three factions, there are some small forces involved, but in general, all officials can be divided into these three factions.

Therefore, since Zhao Yong's accession to the throne, the political situation of Zhao State has formed a situation of many factions and many mountains. But after going through it carefully, almost all of them had to obey Zhao Yong's orders, otherwise, they might be overshadowed by others at any time. And Zhao Yong also stabilized his position through the so-called three strategies of the Restoration.

Two thousand years later, a great man said: There is no party in the party, and the emperor thinks. There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. Party struggle is an unavoidable issue in all dynasties, and this is in line with the objective law that "there is no absolute unity." The difference between the Ming monarch and the mediocre lord is how to control the various forces, so that they dare not challenge their authority, so as to ensure the interests of the monarch.

Although almost all the party struggles in all dynasties have led to party disasters and great purges, at least at this time, Zhao Yong needs such a situation to exist, and as for the future, it is better to hand it over to future generations to deal with.

"Your Majesty, according to the time, you should send someone to South Korea to greet your relatives. If you don't go again, you will not only miss the time, but I am afraid that you will also lose the rules. Zhao Cheng saw that Zhao Yong listened to his advice, so he continued to put forward the purpose of his trip.

"Well, in this matter, please also ask Situ and Sikong to draw up a list, and it would be good to consider the following." Zhao Yong said without raising his head.

"The list has been prepared, please take a look at it." As he spoke, Zhao Cheng handed over the list he had prepared.

Zhao Yong took the bamboo slip and took a closer look, except for Zhao Cheng, Fu Ding, and Li Zhuo, the rest of the names were relatively unfamiliar.

"Who is this Sima Qian, Li Dui and Tian Buru?"

"Sima Qian is a staff member recommended by Fu Ding, this time Lord Fu Ding went to South Korea as a deputy envoy, and he brought him with him, presumably because he has some talent and wants to promote this person."

"Oh, that's right." Zhao Yong nodded.

"Li Dui is a small official of Sikong Temple, this big plan, for the ministers to contribute too much, it is a rare talent, is the old minister selfishly thought, this envoy with him, increase experience, come back can also better contribute to the king." Li Dui has contributed a lot to Zhao Cheng, and taking him to South Korea this time is also to pave the way for his future future, but there is nothing to hide.

"Uncle has a heart." Zhao Yong said with a smile.

"As for this Tian Buli, he was originally from the Song Dynasty, but he has been taking care of the general affairs in Situ Temple, doing things in an orderly manner, quite orderly, and he is also a little clever in case of trouble. This time, the old minister could not accompany him, so he arranged for him to go on behalf of the old minister. ”

"I see." Zhao Yong tasted it carefully, good guy, although the gold content of this mission is not large, but for some juniors, it is definitely a good opportunity to gild, and there is no danger to life. Therefore, the ministers of the four secretaries invariably stuffed their own people into it.

Li Dui is Zhao Cheng's man; Fu Ding's daughter married Wu Guang's son, so she was naturally Wu Guang's faction; Tian Buli was born in Situ Temple, so he naturally got closer to Zhao Bao. Fei Yi naturally doesn't have to worry, because as the escort general of this trip, Li Zhuo is himself a member of the Dai County Department. So, a small list is also meticulous.

"So, who will go to greet your relatives instead of Lonely."

"Please decide." In this matter, there is really no way to make decisions for Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong thought for a while and said: "Among the peers, Zhao Guang and Gu are very good and have been with them for many years. Although there is a lot of slackness and arrogance because of the training of the army, but remembering that his company is meritorious, let him atone for his sins this time. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Zhao Guang was promoted to Lieutenant Zuo, and he went to South Korea on behalf of Gu. The original position was Zhao Shan, the left captain. Zhao Yong said indifferently.

But when I heard it in the ears of a few people, it turned into four words: Jun's heart is unpredictable.
