During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Youzhou's military status was very prominent. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built Linshuo Palace as a palace in Zhuo County, and after seven years of the Great Cause, he used troops in Goryeo three times, all of which were based on Zhuo County, gathering soldiers and horses, weapons, and grain reserves. Tang Zhenguan sent troops to Goryeo in the eighteenth year, divided into two routes, water and land, and the land route also took Youzhou as the rear base camp. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the northeastern tribes was strong, and the Youzhou Festival was placed here in the second year of Xiantian to control the Xi, Khitan and other tribes. In the first year of Tianbao, it was changed to Fanyang Jiedu envoy, with more than 90,000 troops, accounting for about one-fifth of the country's ten-section envoys.

At the end of Tianbao, An Lushan served as the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong, and the envoy of Hebei Province, that is, he used Fanyang as the base to send troops against the Tang Dynasty and set off the "Anshi Rebellion". In the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Shi Siming established himself as Emperor Yan and Fan Yang as Yanjing. In the first year of Guangde, Fan Yang was changed to Youzhou Jiedu, Shi Chaoyi's subordinate Li Huaixian descended, and Tang was awarded the Youzhou Jiedu envoy; When Pinglu has not been in the northern tribe, only Pingzhou remains, there is Lu Longjun stationed in Pingzhou City, and the Youzhou Jiedu envoy is also the Lulong Jiedu envoy. After that, it may be called Youzhou, or Youzhou Lulong, or only Lulong.

The sky was bright, the gate of Youzhou City was wide open, and many people stood on both sides of the road. Unlike the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was more open, and the people were not as afraid of officials as the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Li Jie took the lead, followed by Li Kuangchou, Lin Fan, Hanwen and others. Two thousand pikemen, three thousand sword and shield soldiers, lined up in a neat line and entered the city. For hundreds of years, the common people have never seen the army of the imperial court, and today a prince of the Tang Dynasty entered Youzhou City as a master. Some people are surprised, and some are dismissive, but more are expected of Li Jie's policies.

Li Jie led everyone into the Shuaifu, and 5,000 men and horses took over the city defense of Youzhou City under the leadership of their respective officers. A big red flag was raised at the head of Youzhou City, and a golden word "Li" in the center of the flag was shining. The Youzhou army all drove out of the city to wait for reorganization.

In the lobby of the Shuaifu, Li Jie sat in the middle, and the civil and military were lined up on both sides. Li Kuangchou personally presented the map of Youzhou city defense and the money and grain account book, and some guards took it and put it in front of Li Jie. Li Jie smiled, "Wait for the general, wait for me to deal with political affairs first!" Li Kuangchoi hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "The last general will not dare!" Li Jie waved his hand, and Li Kuangchou stood aside.

"Lin Fan!" "Wechen is here!" Lin Fan hurriedly came out of the ranks. "This king ordered you to be the assassin of Youzhou today, and immediately issue a proclamation, and the content of the proclamation will be given to you by Lord Shiliu, the governor of the palace!" "Weichen takes the order!" Lin Fan retreated. "General Qin!" Qin Fang stepped forward, "The last general!" "Order you to lead the troops to Jizhou, and this king will take over the defense of Jizhou." "The last general commands!"

Looking at Li Kuangchou, Li Jie said, "I still have to bother General Li to accompany General Qin to Jizhou!" Li Kuangchou hurriedly surrendered his hand, "The last general is ordered!" ”

After the assignment, Li Jie said, "You go back and do your own thing, don't be suspicious!" "All the ministers of Youzhou under the hall gave their hands" Thank you, Your Highness! After everyone dispersed, Li Jie called out to Li Kuangchou, who was leaving, "I don't know what the general's plans are in the future!" Li Jie asked, "The last general will be disarmed and returned to the field, and he will not be concerned about political affairs!" Li Jie thought for a while, "When the general comes back from Jizhou, the president of Youzhou Gewu Academy, what does the general think!" ”

Li Kuangchou was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, this..." Li Jie smiled and said, "What, you don't want to?" Li Kuangchou hurriedly knelt down, "Your Highness Xie, the ministers must do their best!" Li Jie smiled and helped Li Kuang up with a smile, "Lord Dean, you're going to be tired!" Li Kuangchou gave up his hand again: "Don't dare!" Can't! ”

"However, Lord Dean, I have one more thing to trouble you first!" Li Jie said. Li Kuangchou hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please speak!" "Please find a house for this king!" "Oh! Looking for a house? "Li Kuangchoo was stunned!" That's right, looking for a house, I will change this Shuai Mansion to Gewu Academy, and I will find another place to live! "But Your Highness..." "There's nothing, I'll stay tonight for one night, and I'll move tomorrow!"

Li Kuangchou had no choice but to give it up, "Wechen will do it immediately!" "Hmm! There is General Law! Li Kuangchou turned around and withdrew.

Youzhou City is boiling! Proclamations are plastered all over the streets and alleys, and the content is easy to understand. All the officials were turned into government salaries, and they were no longer allowed to disturb the people. All commercial taxes are taken from 1 out of 15, and all land is taxed at 100 catties per mu. All the people abolished the forced labor and hired them at the expense of the government. Those who are unemployed in the city can register with the government, and the government will pay for the work. On this day, the whole city of Youzhou beat gongs and drums, the people were elated, and the merchants were all smiling, and there were many drunks dancing on the streets of Youzhou on this day.

Li Kuangchou had already moved out of the Shuai Mansion and moved back to his original place. As soon as he entered the house, Li Kuangchou called the housekeeper: "Move!" The housekeeper was stunned! Uproot! Move there! Li Kuangchou said: "Don't we still have a separate courtyard in the city? Let's move! The housekeeper was helpless and immediately arranged for his subordinates to move.

Li Kuang and the others came to the backyard, and Yu'er was teasing a snow-white cat. Seeing him come in, Yu'er walked over: "Husband, it's good today!" Li Kuangchou said with a smile: "I have handed over Youzhou to King Shou, and now I am unofficial and light." Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and then tears fell, "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" Li Kuang was in a hurry and stepped forward to hug Yu'er.

Yu'er cried and said softly, "Since the husband sat in the position of the Jiedu envoy, Yu'er has been worried every day, for fear that those arrogant soldiers will put the knife on your neck that day, and today the husband is no longer the Jiedu envoy, Yu'er is happy!" ”

Li Kuangchou was stunned! He gently patted Yu'er on the back and said, "I didn't expect me to bring you so many scares, okay!" It's good now! We can rest easy! Yu'er nodded lightly in his arms, "Hmm! Li Kuangchou patted Yu'er lightly again, "Okay, clean up, let's move!" "Moving?" This Yu'er was stunned! "To move! His Royal Highness King Shou wants to change the Jiedu Embassy Mansion into a academy, and this mansion is relatively large enough to be given to His Royal Highness, let's go to the other courtyard! ”

Zhao Dazhuang looked at the old lady and sister lying on the bed, sighed, and turned around and went out with his younger brother, who was one year younger. It's been two days since I had nothing to do, and my mother and sister are already hungry and have no strength. If he couldn't find any more work in the past two days, Zhao Dazhuang didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Not far away, the city was in chaos. Everywhere there was the sound of gongs and drums, everywhere there was the shouting of people. Zhao Dazhuang stopped a pedestrian running onto him, "Big brother, what's going on in front?" The man smiled, "Good thing! Meddlesome! You go ahead and have a look! ”

Zhao Dazhuang hurriedly led his younger brother to the entrance of the street, where a large group of people were around. A scholar was reading a proclamation on the wall there, and Zhao Dazhuang heard clearly that the government was going to recruit people to work. I couldn't help but say that Zhao Dazhuang led his younger brother to the yamen.

A large group of people were queuing up there, and Zhao Dazhuang hurriedly led his younger brother to line up. It took his turn for a long time, and a person who looked like a bookkeeper registered his two brothers and said, "I will come here early tomorrow and arrange work for you!" Zhao Dazhuang nodded, and then said softly, "I can't open the pot at home, my mother and sister haven't eaten for two days, can you give some credit first!" ”

Without the expected reprimand and whip, the clerk wrote a line on the paper next to him, and then turned his head and said to the official behind him, "Advance a hundred wen." Behind him, the official immediately stepped forward and handed a small cloth bag to Zhao Dazhuang, and said with a smile, "Open it, no more than a hundred yuan, no less!" The two brothers opened the cloth bag, and it was full of copper coins and counted, a full hundred.

The clerk said, "The money will be found within ten days, and the money of the previous month will be settled in the first three days of the next month after ten days!" The two brothers thanked each other.

Zhao Dazhuang turned around and picked up his younger brother and ran, and came to the grain store, "Man, weigh a hundred yuan of millet!" "The shopkeeper is happy to come forward" Congratulations to the two, you can go to work tomorrow! Zhao Dazhuang was stunned: "How do you know that I will go to work tomorrow!" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Today, it's all men like you who come to me to buy millet." They all signed up for jobs with the government, and you take care of the small shop business, can I not congratulate you! ”

When he got home, Zhao Dazhuang hurriedly asked his younger brother to boil water and boil rice, and after a while, the fragrant millet came out of the pot, watching the little sister gobbling up, Zhao Dazhuang cried, and the old lady was reluctant to eat it, and scolded him for being a loser. Zhao Dazhuang said to the old lady, "Mother, eat with confidence!" My brother and I have found a job! Tomorrow we will go to work. ”

The old lady turned her head to look at the second child, and the second child nodded, "What the eldest brother said is right, my brother and I will go to work tomorrow!" ”

Youzhou City is changing every day, and new things happen every day. Changes are taking place here, and here is the hope of Datang!
