Cai's Mansion, in the Green Garden, Cai Yan slowly entered the room, only to see a tall and beautiful woman in front of the dresser, she saw Cai Yan walking in, and then said lightly: "The husband stayed well in the Beijing Division, why do you want to go to Hedong Road, although the prefect of Fenyang Mansion is good, but there is no need for the husband to go to the land of tigers and wolves." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hehe, the emperor is wrong, in Jingshi, I will always be just a concubine, but when I go to Fenyang Mansion, I am the main party." Cai Yan looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes flashed with a hint of obsession, this is Emperor Maode, the most beautiful of Zhao Ji's daughters, that is, because he is Cai Jing's son, he is qualified to marry such a beautiful woman. Noble identity, elegant temperament, jade-like skin and stunning appearance all made him obsessed, the only bad thing is that the bed is too dull, not as good as the woman outside.

"I entered the palace to say goodbye, and the sisters in the palace said that Li Jing on Hedong Road was arrogant and domineering, and there was a suspicion of rebellion. Husband, then Li Jing heard that he was fierce, like a vicious man, and went to Fenyang Mansion, I'm afraid? Zhao Fujin was still a little worried.

"Haha, if it's like this for others, but not for you and me, I am friends with Li Jing and have a deep friendship, how can he harm me, not to mention, he still has to rely on his father to mediate for him in the court, and it won't hurt you and me, otherwise, my father won't let me go to Fenyang Mansion." Cai Yan laughed and said, "Emperor Ji can rest assured!" This time we will go with the officials, and my father will personally see us off when the time comes. The four states of Hedong Road have not sent officials for four or five years, and this time the imperial court attaches great importance to it, and the northern army will also welcome us near Jingcheng Pass to enter Hedong Road, and after meeting Li Jing in Taiyuan, we will go to the four states. ”

"Really?" Zhao Fujin was still a little worried.

"That's nature." Cai Yan didn't think about it and said: "As for what you said about Li Jing's ugly appearance, this is really wrong, Li Jing is handsome, he is a rare handsome talent, where is there anything the world says, if he is not brave and walking outside, some people think that he is just a scholar!" Most of the people in the world are just spreading falsehoods. ”

"If that's the case, that's better." Zhao Fujin breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm going to go to my father's place for a while, you, you should rest early!" Cai Yan was originally going to stay here, but thinking of the seductive figure of Xinna's concubine outside, and thinking of Emperor Maode's old-fashioned body and posture, a little heat in his heart disappeared without a trace, stood up and walked out of the room.

"Hey!" Zhao Fujin touched his jade-like face, and his eyes showed a trace of confusion, the princess of the Song Dynasty did not have much deterrence, Zhao Fujin is like this here, the eldest princess of Yingzong found a concubine called Wang Xu, Wang Shu used to go to the Qinglou with his father Zhao Ji, and the eldest princess did not have any way, and the same is true of the current Cai Yan.

"I hope it will be better when I arrive in Fenyang Mansion! That place is not as prosperous as Bianjing, and there must be fewer brothels in Qinglou. Emperor Mao couldn't help but sigh, she didn't understand that she was born so beautiful, Cai Ying was only obsessed with herself at the beginning, and now she would rather go to find some concubines, and even the Qinglou woman is not willing to come to rest here, and the so-called going to see Cai Jing just now is just an excuse.

Taiyuan, Li Jing's expedition to the northern general's mansion set up a rich family, adjacent to the Taiyuan prefect's yamen, here has long been renovated, the general's mansion occupies a very wide area, Li Jing's family lives here, the front is the general's yamen, but the back is where Li Jing and his family live.

Li Jing returned to Taiyuan Mansion in November of the first year of Xuanhe, and it took more than half a year to raise troops in April of the first year of Xuanhe, and it was already winter when he returned to Taiyuan Mansion. In Taiyuan Mansion, Zhao Ding, Zhang Xiaochun, Li Fu, Xiao Rang and other civilian officials began the work of the aftermath of the army's expedition, the army's rewards, pensions, etc., Li Jing asked to be completed at the end of the year, as for Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, Hu Yanzhuo, etc., who went out with the army, they gathered in Taiyuan Mansion, this year is a victory, what to do next year, Li Jing also needs to make arrangements.

Got up from Li Qingzhao's soft body, Li Qingzhao was draped in a dirty clothes, helped Li Jing get dressed, endured the shyness brought by Li Jing's hands wandering on his body, and finally cleaned up Li Jing's clothes, Li Jing kissed Li Qingzhao at this time, and after washing up and having breakfast, he heard the eight-sided vibration of the military drum outside the General Mansion of Zhengbei, and the entire Taiyuan Mansion shook. The general has already begun to ascend to the court, and the civil and military who have been waiting outside the general's mansion for a long time have come to the general's mansion.

Zhang Xiaochun followed closely behind Li Fu, looked at Gongsun Sheng, Zhao Ding, Li Fu and others who were walking in front, and then looked at Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, Hu Yanzhuo and other generals on the other side, and sighed slightly in his heart, although it was only a general's mansion to conquer the north, it was actually no different from a small imperial court. It's just that he thought that a group of officials would come to Hedong Road after the year to rebuild the civil system of Hedong Road, and he was immediately relieved, but sometimes he couldn't understand Li Jing at all, and when he was in power, he didn't know how many people said that the other party was Cao Cao and Wang Mang, but at this time, he gave up the power of Hedong Road, which is obviously a very strange thing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the end of the year is coming. I want to give the soldiers a peaceful year and a fat year, and I believe that there will be no moths on Tian Hu's side at the end of the year! The rewards and pensions for the soldiers must be distributed as soon as possible. Li Jing glanced at everyone, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the fierce general was like a cloud, the strategist, the strategist was still a little worse. Li Jing looked at Gongsun Sheng and others, and he was still much worse in terms of the civil official system, so much so that he had to open the civil official system on Hedong Road to the imperial court.

"General, all kinds of rewards have come out, whether it is to go to the Privy Council, please ask the court to issue rewards, and the rewards of the soldiers are still decided by the court." Gongsun Sheng hurriedly said.

"Let's go out first, and the rewards of the soldiers will be played in Bianjing immediately, if there is no money, there must be an official position!" Li Jing smiled dumbly. Intelligence from Bianjing showed that there was no money in the imperial treasury for a long time.

"General, the families of the soldiers will come after the year, and when the time comes, Hedong Road will undertake the resettlement of the families of the soldiers, fields, cattle, seeds and houses, these are all to be prepared in advance, and the general is invited to show me, what should I do?" Zhao Ding hurriedly spoke.

"I have applied to the imperial court, after a period of time, there will be officials to come to Hedong Road to fill the lack of civil service system on Hedong Road, after these civil officials arrive at the place, to settle these military families as the first priority, Tian Hu ravaged the four states, the four states do not know how many people died, nor do they know how many fields are deserted, how many houses are ownerless, these will be distributed to military families, scattered resettlement." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Jing's eyes, Tian Hu crisscrossed the five states, and the most unlucky people were naturally the common people, but the biggest loss was those gentry, some of the gentry fled from the five states, some surrendered to Tian Hu, and some were simply killed by Tian Hu. Either way, Li Jing, the fields of these gentry, will not be returned. In this era, only by mastering the land can a strong foundation be mastered. In feudal society, population is a very important strategic resource.

Zhang Xiaochun's face was stunned when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "General, although some land is borderless, some land is just because of the rebellion of Tianhu, and some gentry temporarily left their hometowns to cause the land to be wasted, and these lands are owned by the owner. ”

"Hmph, where is there such a good thing in the world, as soon as the war comes, he will run away, and he will want to come back and ask for it afterwards, and if he wants to ask for it, he can do things with the certificate he kept in the government back then, if he doesn't have it, then it will be confiscated." Li Jing Zhengrong said: "There are also those gentry who take refuge in Tianhu and work for the tiger, and their land must be returned to the imperial court. It is already a great favor for General Ben not to hold them accountable for their affiliation, but is there any other grace? ”

"Yes, general, after the war, some gentry will wantonly occupy the land of those people who have left home, and their subordinates think that such behavior must be stopped immediately, and the land of the entire Hedong Road must be temporarily handed over to the army, and the people and gentry from all over the country will check with the vouchers in their hands and the government retention, and if there is less, they will compensate, and if they are more, they will withdraw from us." Gongsun Sheng said loudly.

"Temples, Taoist temples, etc. must also be within the bounds!" Zhou Yuan suddenly said loudly.

"No." Zhang Xiaochun couldn't hold back any longer, and said loudly: "General, the court and the scholars share the world, the foundation of this world, the foundation of this Hedong Road is these gentry, once the general's move is implemented, it will definitely cause opposition from the gentry of Jindi, and the general's governance of Jindi will definitely be affected in the future, and his subordinates will definitely find another way for the general." Zhang Xiaochun finally understood on the side, what Li Jing needs is land, and those ownerless lands are another matter, the key is that after the gentry fled from the four states, the remaining land, according to reason, is all owned by the owner, if Li Jing also joins the ranks of the distribution, it will cause chaos.

"The general, his subordinates also think that they should think about it in the long run, land is very important, and it is the foundation of the gentry clan, and if these are moved, the general will be excluded in the entire Jin land." Li Fu showed a worried look on his face, he didn't expect that Li Jing's first move was actually the land of the gentry, as a member of the family, how could he not know that although these gentry were not as good as the family back then, but when it came to the degree of greed, it was no less than these families, they despised money, but they were greedy for money, and they exploited the peasants, but they were greedy for land. The family will still maintain face, and there is a bottom line in their actions, but these gentry will not, to put it thoroughly, these gentry are a group of local tyrants who have no background, and they don't have any bottom line at all.

"Hmph, as long as there is an army in hand, if these people are disobedient, they can just kill them." Gao Pet couldn't help but say loudly. The rest of the generals also nodded one after another, what we are discussing today is related to the welfare of the officers and men in the army, and these people naturally want to fight for it.

"General Gao is really a joke, the imperial court controls the place, but the place is controlled by the gentry, doesn't the army rely on these gentry to provide money and food?" Zhang Xiaochun glared at Gao Zhong with angry eyes, and said loudly: "The land is the foundation of these gentry, the general moves the land, and the root of these people is moved, and if the general wants to raise troops in the future, will these people still help the general?" ”

Li Jing knew that Zhang Xiaochun was thinking about himself, but Li Jing didn't want his money and food to be in the hands of these gentry, these gentry were all grass on the wall, and they might help themselves today and stand on their side, but as long as the court issued a holy decree, it was enough to change everything about themselves, and the gentry couldn't believe it, and it could even be said that the scholars couldn't believe it.

In the Ming Dynasty after the Song Dynasty, was the power in the hands of the imperial court? No, it was in the hands of the scholars, all of this had a lot to do with the policies of the Song Dynasty, and the scholars ruled the world together, and the scholars and local tycoons formed a group of interests called the gentry, who controlled the world with land and money as buttons. The current situation is still as terrifying as the Ming Dynasty, but Li Jing has to cut off this possibility now.

"Grain is not grown by the gentry, but by the common people, money, is General Ben afraid that there is no money? How much money can be given by those gentry donations? If everything depends on those gentry, if this continues, sooner or later General Ben's northern army will become the gentry's thugs, and everything will be controlled by the gentry. Li Jing looked at Zhang Xiaochun coldly and said, "Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty once said, Jun Zhou also! Minshui also! The water can carry the boat or capsize the boat, Lord Zhang will not fail to understand these truths! The foundation of my northern army is not the gentry, but the common people. The whole army of the northern army only fought for themselves, for the people, not for the gentry. ”

"Don't forget, the general doesn't forget that this place is still in the hands of the gentry, and the officials sent by the imperial court are all representatives of the gentry, and after they arrive at the place, they will collude with the gentry to resist the general's various policies, and even the general can't even recruit soldiers." Zhang Xiaochun himself is a gentry, and naturally knows all kinds of tricks among the gentry, so he thinks that Li Jing's decision is wrong, and the gentry will not give up.

"Are the gentry really strong enough to do that?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Jing's mouth, he looked around and said: "At least it is not strong enough for me Li Jing to ask for such them, if I don't clean up these people now, I won't be able to deal with these people in the future, and begging others is not my Li Jing's style." ”

Zhang Xiaochun's face was stunned, but he didn't know what to say, even Li Jing had this view, and it could be seen that the whole army of the expedition to the north had made up their minds to take the entire land of Hedong Road in their hands. Just thinking of turning his face with the entire gentry group, Zhang Xiaochun was still very worried about Li Jing, he glanced at Li Fu, and saw that Li Fu also showed a trace of worry on his face.

"The imperial court sent officials to come, it should be a good reception, these people will enrich the place, of course, after the officials arrived, the military justice department was also formed, Hedong Road Tianhu has not been eliminated, everywhere should follow the military law, the military justice department has the right to supervise any official, if there is a place where corruption perverts the law, hehe, don't blame Li Jing for being ruthless, the most important thing in the Great Song Dynasty is officials, those alternate officials who are waiting to take office on the side, three or five people do the same envoy The officials don't know how many, there is one less person here, Soon more people will be filling in. Li Jing's words were murderous, although the people present were his own people, but after hearing these words, he also felt a chill in his back.

"The General's Order." Zhang Xiaochun was also shocked, he didn't expect Li Jing to make such a decision, it was simply to put civilian officials under the military generals and subvert the tradition, would those people agree?

"Gao Pet, you personally led the cavalry to Jingcheng Pass to meet you. We can't afford to be rude. Li Jing looked at Gao Pet and said.

"The last will understand." Gao Pet responded.
