Chapter 88: The Aftermath
Zhang Liang said with some concern: "Then we made such a big move this time, what should the court do if we know about it?" ”
Li Yin said nonchalantly: "What else can I do, Lord Taishou, Lord Juncheng, Pan Sima and other officials of Yanmen County, can all prove that it was Wang Seng who intended to rebel, and then was killed by us heroically Although the rebellion was quelled, I have already written the edict to the imperial court, and I will send someone to Luoyang later, but now the heavy snow is blocking the road, and it will not be a long time before it can be delivered." ”
Under the impassability of the road, even if you speed up from Yanmen to Luoyang, you are afraid that it will not work for three months, at least in February of the tenth year of the great cause, Yang Guang should go to conquer Goryeo again, except for people who have interests in Yanmen Pass, who will care about such a trivial matter?
Even if someone is in charge, they can't control Li Yin's head, because he killed Wang Shengfen, but Taishouqiu did good's order, and he just cooperated with the suppression of the rebellion......
After spending a few days firmly controlling Yanmen Pass in his own hands, Li Yin first ordered Fu Ying to lead the team to end the stronghold of human trafficking, and then seized a number of salt and iron warehouses and took over the workshop for making weapons, the workshop will not stop making weapons, but it will not sell weapons to the Turks again.
Now Li Yin has a headache - the resettlement of displaced people in Yanmen County.
There are a lot of displaced people in Yanmen County, and most of them are hungry and have no clothes, and after a heavy snowfall a few days ago, there are many frozen corpses in the streets and alleys of Yanmen Pass.
The cold is not a big problem, as long as there is enough food in the stomach to provide body heat, in a place that can shelter the wind and snow, it is not easy for several people to huddle together to keep warm, not to mention that there are many black stones (coal) on the bare surface of Yanmen County, which can also be used for heating.
What matters is food.
Yanmen County, which covers an area of a relatively large area, is actually a total of four counties, of course, Yanmen Pass, and the four counties are Cuixian County in the south of Yanmen Pass, Wutai County in the southeast of Yanmen Pass, Fanzhi County in the northeast of Yanmen Pass, and Lingqiu County in the northeast of Fanzhi County.
Fanzhi County and Lingqiu County have many grasslands and Gobi, so most of the cultivated land in the county is in the valley and river valley area in the south of Yanmen Pass, as well as in the area near Lao County, as well as the basin area of Wutai Mountain.
The grain produced by those cultivated lands was not enough to supply even the soldiers and civilians of Yanmen Pass, and it was all supported by the grain delivered from Jinyang every once in a while.
Of course, there is still a lot of food hoarded in Yanmen Pass to prepare for war, and Li Yin also dared to use this food to help the displaced people at this time, but it is not a long-term strategy to sit and eat empty, so he is worried about this matter.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yin finally made a decision: to buy food and work for relief.
Li Yin himself has accumulated a lot of money, and now he has begun to arrange for people to transport it from all over the Yanmen Pass, plus he has recently confiscated a lot of money, so he is not short of money, and he can buy grain from the big households in this county and the neighboring county.
It is not a good strategy to give away the hard-earned grain in vain, it is best to let them do some work, Li Yin aimed at the Wutai County area for this reason, one is to see the rich minerals of Wutai County, and the other is to build the road from Wutai to Yanmen Pass.
As a border with Yu County of Taiyuan County, Wutai County has many benefits and is very necessary to build roads in it.
Since the idea has been decided, it is natural that it will be implemented immediately. With Li Yin's order, the entire Yanmen County was busy, buying grain, organizing the homeless people to organize the homeless, a scene in full swing......
When the time entered the ninth year of the great cause in December, there were several heavy snowfalls one after another, and it was only sunny recently, and the old people who had lived in Yanmen Pass for many years said that before the end of this month, there would be no more heavy snowfall.
The merchants, who had been idle for a long time, slowly began to rejuvenate their muscles and bones, preparing to go north to trade with the people on the grassland. Li Yin did not object to trading with the Turks, as long as he did not sell prohibited things, and if he could sell horses from the Turks, Li Yin would even strongly support it.
The people who wanted to go out of Yanmen Pass to do business were all surprised when they learned that the actual person in charge of Yanmen Pass had changed, but then they inquired about Li Yin in every possible way, and tried every possible way to get in touch with him.
Liu Hong is a horse lover, but the current mount was bought by Li Yin when he was in Jinyang City, so he has never been very satisfied, and has always wanted to buy a good horse in person.
On this day, Liu Hong had just returned from running errands for Li Yin outside the gate, and was about to return to the barracks, when he heard someone shouting: "Sell horses!" A good horse! Sell the best horses! ”
Liu Hong immediately grabbed the reins, looked for the sound, and saw a merchant leading three horses to sell there, the three horses in Liu Hong's eyes, the quality is okay, but to say that it is a good horse, it is far from good.
Liu Hong immediately patted the horse and walked over, "Hey, do you have any horses with better quality?" ”
The horse dealer said, "Yes, yes, but ......"
"But what? If you have a fart, you can let it go, it really doesn't look like a gentleman! Liu Hong said angrily.
The horse dealer respectfully saluted Liu Hongxin, "Don't hide it from Master Liu, the small one is the person under Tian Futong in Taiyuan County, and there are now two thousand miles of horses in Master Tian's mansion, and I want to dedicate it to Lord Lang Jiang and Lord Liu, and ask Master Liu to introduce Lord Lang to Master Lang for our Lord Tian." ”
Liu Hong said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, it turns out that you, a thief, are here to set me up!" ”
The horse dealer hurriedly confessed a few times, "My lord is also suffering from knowing Lord Lang and can't find a way, so he made this decision, and I hope that Master Liu will not blame." ”
After weighing it in his heart, Liu Hong asked, "Where is your master's mansion?" ”
The horse dealer immediately told Liu Hong the address in detail, and after Liu Hong heard it, he immediately turned the horse's head and walked away, and did not answer whether the horse dealer agreed to introduce Li Yin to their Master Tian.
Liu Hong returned to Li Yin's tent, and after telling Li Yin about what he had done at the customs, he stood aside, hesitating for a while, and stopped talking.
Li Yin said helplessly: "If you have a fart, let it go, it's not like a gentleman!" ”
Liu Hong scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "My lord, I see that your mount seems to be too ordinary, too unworthy of your current identity!" Don't you think about changing to a thousand miles horse to ride? ”
Li Yin lowered his head and dealt with the official document as he said, "Why, there are also people who want to get to know me through you?" ”
Liu Hong had a look of surprise on his face, "How do you know this?" ”
Li Yin shook his head, "That guy Zhang Liang came this morning to ask me if I like famous calligraphy and paintings, saying that someone has a large collection of fine works, and even Wu Han's fool came to ask me if I like the beauties of the Western Regions at noon, how can I not know what is going on?" ”
