Winter has quietly passed, and outside Yanjing City, there is already new green growing visible to the naked eye at this moment.

Zhao Chen and others came here all the way from Liaodong, and the number of prefectures, counties, and towns on the road is increasing, and there are more and more cultivated land, and the surrounding area of Yanjing City is full of farming scenes!

If the Liaodong region has experienced the war, it is now extremely desolate, but in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it has only experienced less than two years, and it has already shown a prosperous scene after the war!

The division of land and the reduction and exemption of agricultural taxes, the people of the 16 prefectures of Yanyun had solved the problem of food and clothing last year, and almost no one starved to death last winter! And this year, they have already started tending to the crops early.

"Your ability to govern the country is really extraordinary, and in a short period of time, the people here have actually lived a rich life." Qin Yuzhen followed Zhao Chen all the way, and praised at this moment.

"Life here is not rich now, it can only be said that I can just live! As long as the policy is appropriate, there is no problem for the people to eat! Zhao Chen smiled.

The Chinese population in this era is definitely the first in the world, but even so, the population has not reached 100 million, less than one-tenth of the population of modern society in later generations, that is to say, the per capita arable land area is ten times that of later generations! The main reason why people often starve to death in ancient times is that the land is under the control of the landlords and bureaucrats, and now after the world war, the old forces in the past were completely destroyed by the war, Zhao Chen can freely distribute the land, everyone in the world has land, in this case, it is not difficult for the people to solve the problem of food and clothing in a short time! In the modern society of later generations, when the people's commune was in place, many people could not eat, and it was extremely common for them to starve to death, but after the production was delivered to the households, the food problem of the people was fundamentally solved in just one or two years, so in the final analysis, it was a system problem!

"Look, there's someone over there!" At this time, Xue Susu said suddenly.

Zhao Chen looked ahead, only to see the gate of Yanjing City wide open, and countless court ministers and officials came out from inside.

"It's for us! Walk! Zhao Chen laughed.

He led the imperial camp towards the front, and after walking for a long time, he saw the appearance of the minister who came to greet him, and the leader turned out to be Li Gang.

At that moment, Zhao Chen immediately got off the horse and strode towards Li Gang.

"Your Majesty! The old minister finally sees you again! Li Gang was about to kneel, but Zhao Chen had already grabbed him.

"I saw Wang Shu in Liaodong a few days ago, and he told me that you had arrived, and I wanted to come back soon!" Zhao Chen said happily.

Li Gang was the person he relied on the most and was closest to back then, without Li Gang, he might not have been able to get to where he is now! He has always regarded Li Gang as his own relatives!

At this moment, the rest of the surrounding court ministers had already knelt down, and in addition to those court ministers, there were also some famous people among the people, and they also knelt down!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on defeating the Jurchens and eradicating the great calamity in the north! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Suddenly, such a voice sounded outside Yanjing City.

"Hurry up!" Zhao Chen laughed.

In the past, when they were in the Yanjing Imperial Palace, the ministers of the court no longer needed to kneel to Zhao Chen, but today the situation is different, in addition to welcoming Zhao Chen, the ministers of the court and the central government are also celebrating the victory of the Northern War! In such a situation, it is natural to make a big gift.

"Your Majesty, the people of the city are also ready to celebrate Your Majesty!" Li Gang said.

"The victory in the Northern War is not the credit of me, but the joint efforts of millions of soldiers! By the way, teacher, how is the situation in Jiangnan now? Zhao Chen said.

"The bandits in all parts of Jiangnan have been completely eliminated, and the people can live a normal life! The rent reduction order has also been implemented in various parts of Jiangnan, and last year, ordinary people have gained a lot, and they have more than praised the imperial court! As for those landlords and squires, we have mobilized them to invest the surplus money in commerce and trade, and the imperial court has also removed most of the tax cards in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, so that business travelers do not have to pay taxes repeatedly! After implementing these policies, instead of decreasing, the tax revenue we receive from Jiangnan has doubled, and I estimate that we will double it this year! Jiangnan is a prosperous place, but unfortunately after experiencing the rebellion of Huashigang and Fangla, Jiangnan was greatly traumatized, and later King Kang ruled Jiangnan, Jiangnan is a variety of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people of Jiangnan live in hardship. Li Gang said with a smile.

"This is thanks to the teacher who is in Jiangnan!" Zhao Chen said.

"Zhao Ding, Li Guang and others also contributed a lot to the imperial court! By the way, Your Majesty, originally officials from all over Jiangnan, since the establishment of the Supervision Department, after investigating and dealing with dozens of major cases, Jiangnan officials have been greatly deterred, and now there is little corruption. Li Gang said.

When Zhao Chen left Jiangnan, he ordered Wang De to lead some of the personnel of the imperial camp and intelligence department to form a supervision organization, similar to the Jinyi Wei in the Ming Dynasty, and it was extremely powerful! In the past two years, Wang De has also continued to report the news of Jiangnan, and he has indeed investigated and punished many corrupt officials.

"Wang De did a good job." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this Supervision Division can be extended to the Central Plains, Yanyun, and all parts of the north to supervise officials in the world! They are much more capable than the Imperial History, which is just a rumor, and they are the real Secret Visit. Li Gang said.

"Don't teachers think that the authority of the Supervision Department is too great?" Zhao Chen said with a smile as he walked towards Yanjing City.

"This ......" Li Gang was stunned.

"The power of the Supervision Department is too great, and the reason why Wang De was allowed to set up the Supervision Department in Jiangnan in the first place is mainly because the corruption in Jiangnan is too serious, and it must be strictly governed! Wang Dezhong is honest and honest, and there is a teacher on his side to supervise, so I am very relieved! But if this supervision department is in the hands of villains and cool officials, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos. Zhao Chen said.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory, and Inner Factory all kinds of spy agencies played a huge role at the beginning, but they slowly became a cancer of the country, and it was impossible for Zhao Chen to take such an old road.

"What Your Majesty said seems to have a point!" Li Gang was stunned and nodded.

"Now that there is a shortage of officials in the state governments in various parts of the world, the first thing we should do should be to resume the imperial examinations, and wait until there are officials in various places before there is a saying of supervising officials." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is ready to open a national imperial examination?" Li Gang was overjoyed and said.

"Yes, this is the best way to recruit talents, and I must implement it! I had such a plan before the war in the north, and now it is time to implement it as soon as possible! Zhao Chen said.

"Only by implementing the imperial examination can we govern the world with Confucian sacred learning! Your Majesty is right! Li Gang nodded and said.

Zhao Chen shook his head slightly, didn't say much at the moment, and continued to stride forward.

On the afternoon of this day, the entire Yanjing City was celebrating the victory in the Northern War! The ordinary people of Yanjing City have already felt the great changes brought to their lives by the Great Song Dynasty, so they sincerely support the Great Song Dynasty and naturally hope that the Great Song Dynasty can achieve victory!

Zhao Chen celebrated the victory with the people, and until after dark, the people outside were still celebrating, and Zhao Chen finally returned to the Yanjing Palace at this moment.

******

The south side of the palace is where the office is located, and it is still brightly lit, while the north side is now the harem.

"Where is the Emperor Taishang now?" Zhao Chen didn't have time to see Song Qingyao, Zhe Yueru and others, but immediately asked the guards in the palace.

"The Emperor Taishang is now in the Hall of Ten Thousand Blessings." One of the guards said hurriedly.

"Lead the way, I'm going to visit his old man immediately." Zhao Chen said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

The Emperor he was talking about was not Zhao Ji, but Zhao Huan!

Along the way, Zhao Chen's mood was a little nervous! He and his father hadn't seen each other for more than eight years, and he didn't know what had become of his father now!

For Zhao Ji, his feelings are limited, because when he was in Kaifeng Palace, he had very little contact with Zhao Ji, and he almost never saw him! And Zhao Huan, that is the real father-son relationship.

Finally came to the Wanfu Palace, Zhao Chen took a deep breath, and then walked inside.

The guards at the door were about to salute and say hello, Zhao Chen shook his hand, the guards immediately stopped, they didn't make any sound, Zhao Chen strode in.

In the Hall of Ten Thousand Blessings, there are four people sitting at this moment, one of them is Zhao Ji and the other is Zhao Xun, and the two of them actually came here! There is also a young man, who looks a little similar to Zhao Chen, and there is a middle-aged man, he is wearing a yellow robe, his hair is a little gray, and his face is wrinkled.

"Father!" The people in the palace hadn't noticed Zhao Chen yet, but Zhao Chen had already stopped and asked softly.

The voice was very soft, but the middle-aged man in the palace immediately turned around! Who is this middle-aged man who is not Zhao Huan?

Zhao Huan is only in his thirties this year, but his whole person gives people a feeling of old age! He was thin, his back was a little hunched, and his eyes were a little cloudy, but now he stood up with a shudder, and tears flowed from his eyes.

"Is it Chen'er?" Zhao Huan said.

When he left Kaifeng, Zhao Chen was only a ten-year-old child, and now Zhao Chen is an eighteen-year-old young man, with a huge difference in appearance, Zhao Huan has never seen Zhao Chen when he grew up.

"It's the child! The child sees his father! Zhao Chen thought about it, knelt down, and said.

"Hurry up! In the afternoon, we already heard the sounds of celebration outside, I guess you're coming back, and you've been waiting for you, and now you're here! Zhao Huan said excitedly.

"Father, I've made you suffer all these years!" Zhao Chen stood up, also with tears in his eyes, and said.

"It's not suffering, it's just that I have to do farm work every day, I don't have clothes to wear, and I often get sick in winter...... It has only been eight years since I left Kaifeng, but I feel as if decades have passed! Zhao Huan said.

"Father, sit down and talk, tell me about your experience over the years!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

At that moment, Zhao Chen sat in front of Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan nodded, and began to talk slowly, it was nothing more than some tribulations on the road, how to be beaten and tortured by Jin Bing, etc.! Zhao Ji next to him was also emotional, and interjected a few words from time to time.

Zhao Chen beckoned to Zhao Xun, and at that moment Zhao Xun, a child, came to Zhao Chen's side, Zhao Chen hugged him and listened together.

"Chen'er, after I came back, I have heard about what you have done over the years, your ability is even better than that of Taizu Taizong, and your merits can catch up with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for you, we would just be afraid that we would have to stay in the north and it would be difficult to return." Zhao Huan said.

"It's a pity that the queen mother died." Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Huan nodded, and his face showed a hint of gloom.

Suddenly, Zhao Huan beckoned to the young man, and the young man knelt down after coming to Zhao Huan and Zhao Chen, and said, "Grass people Zhao San see Your Majesty!" ”
