Early the next morning, the issue of the three kings' fiefdoms was first discussed at the court meeting.

The tone of the courtiers was very unanimous, and they all demanded the implementation of new decrees in the three kings' fiefdoms.

It's no wonder that the interests of the major families have been hit hard, but the three kings have nothing to do. Can you not blush?

The three kings stood in the palace with a black face, looking at the group of officials and courtiers around them who were like wolves and tigers, and they had already scolded their eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts.

Especially King Ze, his whole arm was hung with white gauze, and he originally came over today to draft the imperial form, and threatened each other in the name of the three kings' fiefdoms to force Yang Mu to comply, but he didn't expect that he didn't ask for the cheap, but he couldn't even keep his fiefdom.

In the end, Yang Mu came out to be a "good person", feeling that it was not easy for the three kings to govern the fiefdom, and to minimize the risk, he decided to select only one fief for pilot implementation, which calmed down this huge controversy.

Therefore, the decision naturally fell on the three kings.

King Ze and King Yi had received the hint from the Queen Mother earlier, and they were not stunned, so they aimed the spearhead at King Pan together, and slammed them upwards one by one.

"Shaft! Say yes and go together! ”

King Pan was trembling with anger, in the past two days, he ran around, secretly united many officials, just to unite King Ze and the voice of the court at the last moment, and push out King Yi, who had the most shallow foundation, but he never expected that King Ze had already united with King Yi and disrupted all his plans.

So, Yang Mu pushed the boat down the river, issued an order to praise King Pan, and was named the ambassador of the patrol city, responsible for supervising the situation of the other two fiefdoms.

At this point, the plan of the two peaches to kill the three soldiers has achieved initial results, and the alliance of the three kings has collapsed, even if they abandon their previous suspicions and want to rebel in the future, there will be a shadow that is difficult to wave, leading to mutual suspicion, which is no longer to be feared.

As the emperor, Yang Mu also strengthened the centralization of power, and collected the 1,000 regular troops in Pancheng as the command of the imperial court, and the entire city was no different from other cities except for the fiefdom of the king of Pan, in fact, it was no different from other cities.

Of course, Yang Mu also thanked Panwang for his "Gao Feng Liang Festival", and gave him the status of an ambassador for patrolling the city, and had the right to supervise the other two fiefdoms, and could directly report to the emperor at any time.

It is conceivable that King Ze and King Yi will not have a good time in the future, with King Pan's old scheming, they will definitely take revenge to death if they catch things, even if there is nothing to do, they will have to take revenge on death if they make things.

Yang Mu put down a big stone in his heart, he felt a lot more comfortable, and the next few days were very calm, and the queen still talked about "Journey to the West" for a while every day.

The progress of the new military uniform is also very gratifying, in just two days, the preliminary style was formed, and then handed over to the needlework bureau to work day and night, a few days of hard work, 400 sets of military uniforms are almost completed, and soon they can be officially delivered to the barracks for use.

In addition, Yang Mu issued an order, mobilized more than a dozen carpenters from the Ministry of Industry, told them some ideas of printing, and separately designated a mansion in the outer court as a research place, and sent guards to guard it strictly.

Considering that the current craftsmen of Cangguo are still relatively unfamiliar with this skill, Yang Mu also took it step by step and only told them about engraving and printing.

Speaking of engraving printing, in fact, the technique is very simple, that is, on a certain thickness of smooth wooden board, paste on the copy of the neat manuscript, the front of the manuscript paper and the wooden board are attached, the word becomes the reverse body, and then use a carving knife to cut off the part of the layout without handwriting, when printing, on the raised font to paint ink, like a seal to cover it.

The carpenters were all surprised, His Majesty the Emperor summoned everyone so seriously for this matter?

Everyone is very puzzled, there are only a few thousand literate people in the whole country, and the collection of books in the aristocratic family is also very limited, basically a book only needs to be renovated once in decades, and even the copyist can't live happily, this kind of engraving similar to the seal engraving is time-consuming and laborious, very complicated, there is the effort to carve a template, enough to copy hundreds of copies.

Is this necessary?

Of course, they didn't dare to question it face to face, as a small craftsman, it was already a great honor to be able to enter the inner court, and His Majesty the Emperor had to complete everything even if he ordered it.

What's more, His Majesty the Emperor also promised that after completing the task, each person could also get a reward of ten taels of silver, enter the first level of knighthood, and become a two-star civilian, such a rich reward is impossible to refuse.

Finally, after three days, they succeeded in carving the first template - "The Enlightenment Handbook"!

Don't underestimate such a small book, which contains an abridged version of "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic", and it is also accompanied by simple notes, as long as you have read the book a little, you can understand the meaning.

On the second day, Yang Mu made a special trip to the camp, a total of 400 sets of new military uniforms, plus 400 copies of the just-printed "Enlightenment Manual", and handed them to Shen An, asking him to take an hour every day to teach everyone, requiring everyone to know at least 500 words within a month, and include them in the assessment!

At the same time, on this day, the 300,000 taels of indemnity and 10,000 stone of grain raised by Zheng Kang also arrived in the imperial city of Cangguo.

Han Tong and Zhu Xi, two 3,000-strong generals who received the order, led their respective troops from the camp and took over the defense of the two cities of Wangfeng and Jiangshun.

The fields and property occupied by the nobles of Zheng Guo have also become the focus of contention, for the simple reason that the land is fertile and barren, and the location is also prosperous and remote.

In the end, Yang Mu came forward to reconcile and adopted a lottery allocation, which calmed down the matter.

One wave flattened a little, and another wave rose.

In the afternoon of the same day, the square outside the palace was full of ordinary people, begging to return to their hometown.

It turned out that when the two northern cities fell, there were many common people and nobles who were worried about being looted and slaughtered, and fled all the way to the south, about 30,000 or 40,000 people, because there was no land and no land, so most of the people lived in great poverty, either sold into slavery or lived a poor life, and only a small number of people with a large amount of family property could not escape, and took root in the local area.

Yang Mu specially ran to the observation deck, only to see that there was a black area outside the palace, not to mention thousands of people.

Headache!

If it's just the return of refugees, this is easy to handle, but what is the purpose behind the return of refugees?

Property!

Compared with the original days, these refugees have been struggling at the bottom of society, and they are always nostalgic for the old days, but helplessly, their houses, livestock, land, etc., are occupied by Zheng Kang and other nobles, and they will definitely not come back.

But now, the nobles of the enemy country have been driven away, can they get back what originally belonged to them?

In this regard, Yang Mu was also helpless, and he couldn't find a solution for a while, he didn't take this layer into account before, the land and property had already been traded with the family gate, what to give them back?

If the property is returned to these refugees, how will the family gate valve solve it?

This is a problem that requires political wisdom to deal with, and if it is the usual style of the major vassal states, it will definitely drive these refugees out and protect the interests of the nobility.

But Yang Mu doesn't want to do this, once he does this, it will definitely lead to a boiling of resentment, what is the difference between it and the cannibalistic government in the past?

Don't underestimate the people's grievances, as the saying goes, three people become tigers, if this matter is not handled properly, the reputation and prestige that the court has just established will be ruined, and it will always leave an indelible stain, and if you want to push the executive order or something in the future, it will undoubtedly cause great resistance.

If the reasonable requests of tens of thousands of refugees are not resolved, and then want the people to believe that the government will make decisions for the people, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky, not to mention a single log, it is useless to cut down a forest.

Just when Yang Mu was worried about this time, Fan Hongji, the right minister, came to the observation deck to report the prisoners of war.

"What? Zheng Kang refuses to leave? Yang Mu was taken aback.
