The scouts finally came with a clear message that the main force of the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River and returned to the Daimyo's Mansion, and the return to the Daimyo's Mansion and the garrison on the north bank of the Yellow River were two completely different concepts, the garrison on the north bank of the Yellow River was equivalent to the bow had been wound and had to be sent, while the return to the Daimyo's Mansion was to collect the sword and return the arrows to the pot, at least for the time being, there would be no war.

Of course, Liyang County on the north bank of the Yellow River still has an army of more than 10,000 people, but this army cannot change the overall situation.

Li Yanqing immediately ordered the wartime state to be changed to a state of imminent war, and the three city gates of Xincaomen, Xinzhengmen, and Nanxun Gate were opened, which were only opened for four hours a day, and each gate had a garrison of 1,000 troops, and they had to undergo strict inspections when entering and leaving the city.

Not only the city gate was opened, but all kinds of restrictions in the city were gradually relaxed, except for the curfew that was implemented after the time of the day, other prohibitions have been released, and the original lifeless capital has also begun to appear vibrant, the most obvious is that the number of restaurants and teahouses that are open for business has increased, and people have also gone out of their homes and called three or five friends to go to the teahouse and restaurant for a small gathering.

However, the opening of the city gate also led to a hidden danger becoming clear, as Li Yanqing expected, a wave of southern retreat was set off in the capital, which was the third southern retreat after last year's southern retreat of powerful elites and big businessmen, but this time the protagonist was unexpected, neither the middle class nor the poor people in the capital, but hundreds of thousands of fugitives from the north.

Originally, these fugitives fled from Hebei, just to find a safer, to eat a place to eat, the capital is of course the most ideal place to stay, but the Jin soldiers killed in the capital, besieged the city for nearly 50 days, so that the northern fugitives in the city are frightened, living like a year, these fugitives have no sense of belonging to the capital, and there is no industry and concern, they can go, so once the Jin soldiers retreat north, the city gate opens, and immediately set off a large-scale southward retreat tide among the fugitives.

The city gates have not yet been opened, the three city gates are already crowded with people, hundreds of ox carts and donkey carts are even more crowded the city gates, the fugitives help the old and the young, carry the burden, carry the big and small burdens, the old man's complaints, the children's cries, the young men's angry scolding, so that several city gates are full of anxious atmosphere.

Li Gang had already rushed to the gate of Nanxun, stood at the gate of the city, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Folks, the war is over, the imperial court is restoring order, Tokyo will soon regain its former prosperity, there will be more opportunities here, please stay with peace of mind, don't blindly follow." ”

But let Li Gang shout through his throat, but there was no effect, his voice had long been drowned out by the noise of dissatisfaction with the slow opening of the door, only a few families around him heard it, but these families all cast white eyes at Li Gang without exception, saying that a bunch of empty things have no practical benefits, who wants to stay?

In fact, Li Gang was also very helpless, in fact, his original intention was also to hope that the refugees would go south as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the governance of the capital, but the officials were more concerned about maintaining the prestige of the imperial power, and did not want the people to move south, but they refused to cede any actual benefits, which made Li Gang only persuade hard, take a set of dry rhetoric, and make a pot of rice without rice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a long way to the south, bandits are rampant on the road, it is very unsafe, and you are still staying in the capital, and the imperial court will definitely give you a good settlement."

Li Gang finally sacrificed the unsafe big killing weapon on the road, but it still had no effect, the city gate had been opened, and the excited shouts completely drowned out his hoarse voice, but the excited people rushed to it, so that Li Gang, who was standing by the city gate, was almost washed down by the crowd, and several subordinates hurriedly pulled Li Gang aside.

The city gate suddenly shouted and scolded, and at this time, the city gate guard waved his hand helplessly, "No need to check, let people out!" ”

The soldiers at the gate of the city no longer checked the people who had left the city, but flashed to the side, and the people in the cave of the city rushed out, stumbling and running out of the city, as if they were flooding, and the congestion at the city gate was suddenly relieved.

At this time, one of his subordinates said to Li Gang: "Li Xianggong, this persuasion is not a way, let's go find Li Dutong!" ”

Li Gang sighed, the official family asked him to dissuade the people from leaving, but they didn't give him any resources, this is still really a good woman who can't cook without rice, and in this regard, she is not a smart woman.

"Alright! Go and meet Li Dutong. Seeing the crowd pouring out of the city like a flood, Li Gang really didn't have much confidence.

．．．．．．．．

Li Yanqing has become even busier after the wartime state has been lifted, an old system is over, and a new system will inevitably be established, and before the new system is fully established, it is extremely exhausting and exhausting, Li Yanqing has a thousand things to solve, the patrol mechanism in the capital, the operation of the intelligence department of the anti-Jin army scouts, this part was originally in charge of Li Gang, and now it has been handed over to him, as well as the monitoring of the melting ice of the Yellow River, the establishment of alarm beacons along the way, the dispatch of intelligence scouts in Hebei, etc., and so on, Li Yanqing was almost out of breath due to the pressure of many affairs.

Li Yanqing's defense envoy is near Beicheng, just ended the war, Zhao Huan still didn't dare to be too careless, so he didn't relieve Li Yanqing of the temporary errand of the Tokyo defense envoy, plus now Zhao Huan is busy consolidating imperial power and fighting for power with the emperor, Zhao Huan can't offend Li Yanqing for the time being, and he can't take care of him, and the court's hand to interfere in military affairs has not yet reached in.

At this time, Li Yanqing was sitting behind the table and carefully reading the report written by Wang Gui, Wang Gui led the cavalry to cross the river from Puyang to the south, and was on the way to the capital, which can be regarded as completing the task assigned by himself and returning successfully.

But Li Yanqing was more concerned about Yue Fei mentioned in Wang Gui's report, Yue Fei also got rich profits in cooperating with Wang Gui to attack the counties of Hebei West Road, he got 500 war horses and tens of thousands of donkeys and a large number of armor and weapons, and the strength of the army was also expanded from 300 to 2,000 people.

Li Yanqing nodded, in history, Yue Fei was extremely capable, integrated the anti-Jin rebels in the states of Hebei Road, and laid the foundation of the Yue family's army, but due to his own involvement, history has also undergone some changes, and Yue Fei also got the first pot of gold earlier, but whether it is a good thing or not is still unknown.

"Mr. Mo, has Wang Gui's credit book been reported?"

"It has been reported to the Privy Council, it is reported in a separate book, it was reported three days ago, and I will urge it tomorrow."

"I'll ask Governor Gao privately! Don't rush it, the province learned that the guys in the government hall said all day long that we were eager to take credit. ”

"Those guys are the most shameless people I've ever seen, and they actually put all the credit for the Jin soldiers' retreat to the north on their heads, and they are shameless."

Mo Jun said angrily: "The key officials still support them, it's really chilling." ”

"The war is over, and it's time for the power struggle, the official family wants to get the full support of the civil official group and confront the emperor, so they will repeatedly accommodate the Zhizheng Hall, do you think the official family doesn't understand in their hearts?"

"That being said, the interests of the soldiers of the army cannot be sacrificed either."

At this time, there was a report from the guards at the door: "Qiyu is the capital, Xiao Li Xianggong asks to see!" ”

"Invite him in!"

Li Yanqing stood up, and after a while, Li Gang walked into the official room quickly, and said with a smile: "Li Dutong, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

"It's rare to see Lee Sang-gong, please take a seat!"

Li Yanqing warmly beckoned Li Gang to sit down, and Li Gang also smiled and beckoned to Mo Jun, "Mr. Mo should also sit down!" ”

Li Gang and Mo Jun have a good relationship, he wants to ask Li Yanqing for help, and Mo Jun has to say a few kind words on the side.

The three of them sat down separately, and the two of them served them tea, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "I'm too busy these days to visit Li Xianggong, how is the matter of blocking the relocation?" ”

"Hey! It's hard to put into words. ”

Li Gang smiled bitterly and said to Li Yanqing: "In the past two days, I have been blocking in front of Nanxun Gate every day, desperately persuading the people to stay, but the business is dumb, and no one is willing to listen to my persuasion." ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, and said a little incredulously: "Li Xianggong won't be joking!" Do you have to go to the city gate to persuade you in person for this kind of thing? Isn't there any other way to do it? ”

"I would like to hear it, if Li Dutong does this, how will Li Dutong do it?"

"I will ask Kaifeng Mansion to come forward and invite the leaders of the displaced people from the northern counties, who should be some respected old people, and invite them to Kaifeng Mansion for a discussion, listen to their current worries, see what difficulties they have, what requirements they have, and then try to solve them as much as possible, so that it is estimated that half of the displaced people will not leave."

Li Gang nodded, "This is a good way, in fact, I also plan to ask Kaifeng Mansion for help, but the people in Kaifeng Mansion said that they were too busy, so they rejected me, and then the official family didn't give me any resources, I really have nothing to do." ”

Li Yanqing took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "This matter is a bit strange, did Li Xianggong offend anyone in the court?" ”

Li Gang shook his head, "Although I am upright, I am not stunned, we have not offended anyone, if I have to say that I have offended, it is that I am too motivated to oppose the peace, which makes the Lord and the faction generally dissatisfied." ”

Li Yanqing groaned for a moment and said with a faint smile: "Maybe Li Xianggong has blocked some people's careers, but Li Xianggong himself doesn't know!" ”

Li Gang was stunned, "What does Li Dutong mean by this?" ”

"Let Mr. Mo tell you!"

Li Gang looked at Mo Jun again, and Mo Jun groaned and said: "I got a piece of news this morning, the official houses where the government resettled the northern fugitives were only charged half the rent, but from today onwards, the rent has all returned to the original price, a house is rented for 500 wen a month, and a house in the south is only 1 or 200 wen a month, so how can the northern fugitives still be willing to stay!" ”

Li Gang was stunned, he only felt a chill in his back.
