The phenomenon of Hu Liena was not accidental, and in the next few private visits, Bai Yunqi soon discovered more problems. Phenomena such as those of Kullena were so prevalent in the new country that the enthusiasm of the local tycoons for further land annexation erupted again and again after this civil war. In the Duliang area, for example, the displaced people caused by the war were mainly poor people, and after the war, Bai Yunqi distributed some food to let them go home, but they faced more brutal oppression than the war. A large number of poor people lost their land, local tyrants colluded with small officials to run rampant in the township, and the people sold their sons and daughters, and lost their fortunes.

Looking at industry and commerce, the country's economy is actually on the verge of collapse as the depression caused by the war continues, the various taxes that existed in the previous dynasties are still being collected, and the number of new tax cards set up by local officials under the guise of local officials is also increasing.

Before the beginning of winter, a new wave of displaced people had already begun to appear in Duliang Chengnei, and once it entered winter, Bai Yunqi knew very well what the new regime was about to face.

It is necessary to undergo major surgery, otherwise there is no need to wait for other countries to fight, and the riots of the common people will drown themselves.

Bai Yunqi urgently summoned his ministers to explain the current grim situation one by one, except for the relative stability of Guanbei, almost all of the seven prefectures in Guannan are facing the same problem.

The ministers were silent in front of Bai Yunqi's question, and in front of Bai Yunqi's extremely difficult face, even a cronie like Kong Beihai didn't dare to speak.

There can be no further hesitation, the first order issued by Bai Yunqi is to enter a state of emergency throughout the country. A state of emergency committee was immediately set up, and Bai Yunqi personally presided over the work. The first thing is to immediately set up a new spy agency, the main person in charge is Wu Ming on the surface, and secretly it is Xu Yuyan, who is Bai Yunqi's most trusted person, and this agency Bai Yunqi calls Jinyiwei. Jin Yiwei's main task at the moment is to send a large number of secret agents to the whole country to investigate the local tyrants and collect evidence of their violations and crimes. Bai Yunqi knew in his heart that the place in these years was strong, and no ass was clean.

The second order was to declare that the grain in the whole country was under control, and the merchants suspended the grain trade, and the government first came forward to purchase the grain and centralize the management. Xie Dongshan is responsible for this matter.

The third order was that all troops should immediately enter a state of war, and no one should leave the barracks. Controlling the army is the most important task at present, and this matter is handled by Kong Beihai.

The fourth order was to immediately cease the collection of taxes on domestic merchants on all tax cards in the country, and to punish those who violated them.

Bai Yunqi's series of orders did not arouse any opposition, and a battle began against the local tyrants and officials. First of all, starting from Duliang City, after more than half a month of preparation, more than 300 officials were invited to drink tea by the newly established Jinyi Guard, only half of them returned home safely, and then it was the turn of the landlords and gentry outside the city, almost all the landlords and gentry were able to escape the storm this time, and they were caught and killed, and they were raided and their homes were raided, and a large amount of land was confiscated as state-owned.

Soon this struggle spread throughout the country, a large number of local tycoons were dismissed, a large number of officials became prisoners, and for a time everyone in the country was in danger, and riots broke out in many places, and because Baiyunqi was well prepared, these riots were almost nippled in the bud by the prepared army.

The campaign lasted until the end of the following spring, when the fall of a large number of officials led to a serious shortage of managers in the new regime. In March, when the first spring rain fell, the first imperial examination of the new regime in the whole country began.

When Baiyunqi was busy rectifying the domestic situation, the state of confrontation between the Xiongnu and the Houjin also changed.

Xiongnu, Dadu.

The Xiongnu Khan Duanmu Dome held a banquet in the back garden to entertain the guests, and personally accompanied him. There are very few people who can have this kind of face in the territory of the Xiongnu, and there are no people who can let Duanmuqiong pour wine and serve in person.

But now this phenomenon has appeared, Duanmu Qiong not only accompanies him personally, but also respectfully serves the guests, who is this guest?

At the banquet in the back garden, the face that had appeared in Zhang Chu's palace appeared, and Duanmu Qiong said after a respectful toast: "Uncle, your old man won't leave when he comes back this time, right?" Over the years, you have been running around for the country, and you should also take a break and let the younger generations do their filial piety. ”

A fairly delicate face, the eagle hook nose on it destroys the affinity of this face, making the whole person look a little gloomy. It was Tian Lingzi who was made an uncle by Duanmu Qiong.

"I want to rest, but some old friends are too enthusiastic, and I found Zhang Chu two months ago, so I can't rest now, I have to go to Houjin to visit two old friends." Duanmu Qiong sneered, the pale color of his face was a little ruddy under the influence of alcohol.

"How is your battle with Houjin at the moment?" Tian Lingzi asked Duanmu Qiong.

"Houjin has the support of Northern Qin, and now it is confronting our army in the Mohe area, and now the climate is getting colder, and both sides are not capable of launching a new offensive for the time being, and the younger generation intends to launch a huge offensive before the arrival of the new cold snap, and advance the battle line forward for eighty to one hundred miles."

"Let's make peace!" Tian Lingzi gave an expressionless order, Duanmu Qiong was stunned for a moment when he heard it, but immediately replied: "It's all up to Uncle Grand's arrangement, and I will send someone to negotiate." ”

In the winter of the first year of China, while a large-scale campaign against local tyrants was launched, a large amount of land was redistributed, and the lost land was returned to the peasants. In the spring of the following year, the new regime issued an order that the state should purchase agricultural tools and seeds and lend them to the peasants, and that the principal and interest would be returned after the harvest, and the work of healing the wounds of war was proceeding at a high speed.

On March 25 of the second year of China, the Xiongnu and Houjin reached an armistice agreement, and the Xiongnu army moved the new center of gravity to the south, and the Xiezhou side began to be tight. In July, the summer grain harvest was completed, the autumn grain had just been sown, Zhang Chu suddenly sent troops to Hou Wei, 300,000 troops besieged Qizhou, July 15, Hou Wei ordered his cronies to love Hu Junbai led 200,000 troops to reinforce Qizhou, and Zhang Chu's army fought under the city of Qizhou, after the battle Wei army was defeated, Zhang Chu at the cost of 50,000 casualties, annihilated the Wei army of 150,000 in one fell swoop, Hu Junbai was forced to retreat to Yanzhou, Zhang Chu's army besieged Qizhou day and night, Qizhou was not guaranteed.

In early August, Later Wei envoys came to Duliangcheng, hoping to form an alliance with China, and asked China to send troops to Qizhou to relieve the siege of Qizhou. Also at the beginning of August, 100,000 Xiongnu soldiers were under the city of Jiezhou and did not go for a long time.

On the question of whether or not to reinforce Qizhou, the opinions of the Chinese DPRK and the DPRK cannot be unified. Cabinet Minister Xie Dongshan believes that the country has not yet stabilized, and it is definitely not possible to send troops at this time, not to mention that the soldiers are already very tired from fighting continuously in the continuous suppression of domestic power. The current state of the treasury alone is simply not enough to cope with the supply of this constant war. Bai Yunfan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yu Nanping, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Xie Donghai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, all agreed with Xie Dongshan's opinion, believing that it was really unwise to start a war at this time.

The remaining three Shangshu did not express their position, and it seemed that it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
