Yang Yi is right, a beam-jumping clown Huang Yao staged a painless farce in Qingshui County, openly rebelling against this kind of thing, even the powerful princes did not dare to think about it easily, let alone put it into action. Huang Yao took advantage of God's loophole, took advantage of the famine to gather 20,000 hungry people who just wanted to eat, and began to have his own imperial dream, but he didn't want the price of this dream to be extremely heavy, and he lost his head overnight.

Originally, this kind of thing was not a big deal, but the death of the clown Huang Yao left a big problem for everyone.

Who should be in charge of Qingshui County?

The geographical location of Qingshui County is very special, located in the front of the north bank of the Linjiang River, the north can go straight into the Central Plains, and the south down the river can lead to the vast Jiangnan, which is usually not conspicuous, but now Yang Jie and Li Cen's forces happen to be separated by a winding Linjiang, and the status of Qingshui County has become extremely important.

After Yang Jie conquered Tongzhou, before he could transfer troops to garrison, Huang Yao, a-stirring stick, came out.

Now Qingshui County is still nominally under the jurisdiction of Yang Jie's Tongzhou government, but after quelling the Huang Yao rebellion, Li Cen has no intention of withdrawing his troops.

"Qingshui County is a rib, then Li Cen has bitten into his mouth, how can he spit it out easily? Li Cen's old fox was not kind enough to help Yang Jie clean up the portal without asking for anything in return. Yang Yi said with a smile.

Liu Wenzheng nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, Yang Jie sent several envoys to Linjiang City to ask Li Cen to withdraw his troops, but Li Cen refused to withdraw on the grounds that the army suffered heavy losses when attacking Huang Yao and needed to be repaired on the spot in Qingshui County. Yang Jie was annoyed, and ordered Ge Jin to lead more than 20,000 people out of the north of Tongzhou to confront Qingshui County, and both sides seemed to have no intention of retreating, and the war was about to break out. “

Li Cen's excuse is very boring, if he fights a grasshopper like Huang Yao, it can also cause heavy losses, and he will not be able to become the marquis of Nanguo who dominates the south of the Yangtze River.

Yang Yi looked at the land of central and southern China on the map of Daguang, and said in a deep voice: "The two biggest forces in Daguang today are Yang Jie's Li Cen, and the territory of these two people covers almost half of Daguang. Yang Jie sat firmly in the capital with the name of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Li Cen regarded himself as a loyal minister of Daguang, and attracted a large number of princes loyal to the emperor. ”

"Will it affect us?" Liu Wenzheng said worriedly.

Yang Yidao: "Of course, the biggest commodity in our Shu is Shu brocade silk, this kind of thing itself is in conflict with the war, even if they don't block commerce after the war starts, our Shu brocade sales will be greatly reduced, which is predictable." ”

Brocade clothes and jade food are always synonymous with peace and prosperity, and in troubled times, not to mention how many people can consume these things, even most wealthy families will not show off their wealth at this time.

Liu Wenzheng also seemed to know that Shuzhong's economy would be hit hard if it continued like this, and frowned: "Then what should we do?" ”

Yang Yi sat down, he didn't have any business talent, the only thing that could help him was some experience in the history books of his previous life: "We can only do it behind closed doors!" ”

"Behind closed doors?"

Closed-door creation itself is a very depreciatory word, but in Yang Yi's view, it varies from person to person.

Yang Yi nodded and said: "I know that there is a country that used to be a country that was enslaved, but it only took one or two hundred years to not only achieve complete independence, but also become a top power, just because it remained neutral when others fought, left and right to make war money, and then when others were weak, it stood up and gave them a fatal blow." ”

"Your Highness means that we will not participate in the battle in the Central Plains for a short time?"

"Yes, I don't want to get involved in the disputes in the Central Plains now. The geographical location of Shuzhong is very special, as long as we take precautions, I believe no one can disturb us. However, we are not closed off the country, and we must not get carried away, except for trying not to get involved in the war, we must communicate more with the outside world in other aspects. ”

Yang Yi originally wanted to imitate the United States, stay away from the battlefield, and develop slowly, but the premise of all this is that his progress can surpass the outside world, learn from each other's strengths and make himself gradually stronger, otherwise he will become like the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and become a laughing stock all over the world.

Yang Yi rubbed the corners of his eyes, the pressure in his heart was greater than anyone else, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, no matter what kind of route and policy, the prerequisite is that he must become strong quickly, if Yang Yi has a few hundred years, maybe he will not be in such a hurry, but no one will give him so much time, even if he has countless ideas beyond this era, it is not something that can be achieved in a while, and it will be counterproductive if he is too anxious.

The biggest problem Yang Yi is facing now is that he has a lot of ideas, but no one helps him to implement them, and he only relies on him, the king of Shu with two knives, military, economic, diplomatic, and talent affairs, and many other matters cannot be taken into account at all.

At present, the only ones who can help him are Liu Wenzheng and Shama Naigu, but the advantages and disadvantages of these two are also very obvious.

Liu Wenzheng is cautious in his thinking, but lacks the courage to fight and dare to fight, and at the same time he is inexperienced in management. Shamanaigu's ability is highlighted in the military, and he is a good hand at leading troops, but it is not enough to take care of other aspects.

The general examination and recommendation have screened out a group of available talents, but it will take time to prove whether these people can be big or not, and it will be difficult to see results for a while.

Not to mention the academy that Yang Yi presided over and cultivated, it is still only a prototype, and it may take a long time to play a role.

"You can't be in a hurry, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to go wrong, and you can only go step by step." This is the final conclusion that Yang Yi has reached, if you want to make a region strong, it is not overnight, and it is not something that can be done by one person.

In addition to holding a coordination meeting this month, there is another more important thing, that is, the 80th birthday of Yang Yi's grandfather, Su Zhongzhai, and Su Fu is ready to hold a birthday banquet for the elderly.

The average life expectancy of ancient people is actually relatively short, sixty or seventy years old is already considered a high life expectancy, and eighty years old can be called a living immortal, so even if there is no Yang Yi, the grandson of the King of Shu, Su Fu also has a reason to hold a Hongda birthday banquet for the old man's birthday.

Since Yang Yi came to Shuzhong, Su Zhongzhai basically belongs to the state of recuperation, and Su Mansion has handed over everything to Su Fan to take care of, if it was before, maybe he would not be too relieved, but now with Yang Yi taking care of it, even if there is no one to take care of the Su family's business, there will not be too many problems.
