January, a whole month.

It's short, it's for Liu Yuan; It is very long, for the 400,000 people under Yuyang's rule.

Because Guo Jia speculated that two months was the deadline for Wuhuan to attack, Liu Yuan felt that this month passed too quickly, and many things were not done in time.

For the people, it was the longest month since they were born! Because this month there are many great things that affect the vital interests of the people! In the eyes of the people, these major events are rare in a century!

First of all, the three generals Huang Chang, Xu Huang, and Yan Liang under the command of Taishou Liu Yuan cooperated with Tian Feng in the process of arranging the displaced people, counting the population, and investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials and corrupt officials, beheaded a large number of officials and inferior gentry in the township and confiscated their land and property.

Second, all non-private land under Yuyang's rule should be counted and distributed equally to all the people.

Third, tax exemption for two years (three years of tax exemption for the families of martyrs who died in the battle to annihilate Qianer Wuhuan.) ）

Fourth, the Taishou Mansion encourages business and rewards farming.

Fifth, the appointed officials of Taishou care for the people and are diligent. and set up a preliminary people's supervision system, responsible for supervising officials, with Tian Feng in charge.

Due to the introduction of these preliminary policies, the entire Yuyang people applauded, and the joy simply overshadowed the real New Year!

The three major generals under Liu Yuan spent one month to gather the soldiers of the counties and counties under the rule of Yuyang, a total of more than 30,000 people, divided into three departments, led by each of them. Liu Yuan felt that the time was urgent, and the combat strength of the county soldiers was not strong, so he decided to personally use the sword and practice, and even several generals were not allowed to participate in it without excuses, and they had to accept Liu Yuan's training skills from the ancient soldiers together with the soldiers.

There is also Guo Jia Fengxiao, this kid was born with a pair of ghost eyes. Originally, Liu Yuan gave him the task of inspecting and selecting suitable officials for replenishment after the Great Purge, but he didn't expect that Guo Jia would spend a day and go around Yuyang County, and then he found more than a dozen talents with their own strengths, handed them over to Liu Yuan, and went to drink.

These more than ten people, plus the original Tian Chou cadres in Yuyang Taishou Mansion, just filled the important positions left by Liu Yuan's bloody cleansing of various county seats. As for more trivial petty officials or idle officials, even if they are quite effective, Liu Yuan doesn't have so much time to take care of them now, so he has to grieve those newly appointed subordinates to put more effort into it, after all, they are all talents, and those who can work hard.

The entire framework of the Yuyang regime was structured, and new policies were issued and implemented. Then, it's time to rearm for war.

Of course, some people want to ask Zhang Chunyi's family after they were imprisoned by Liu Yuan, what was the final outcome?

However, Chen Qun used Old Man Zhang or letters, or rumors to stabilize the vassals who couldn't feel the direction of the wind, and were taken down by Xu Huang and other three generals who led their troops to thunder, and gave Yuyang a big purge. Then this Zhang family was not of much use, Chen Qun was about to suggest that Liu Yuan cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but was stopped by Guo Jia, and only said that it would be useful in the future, so the matter was put aside for the time being.

On this day, the sky was high and crisp, and a little sunshine was blown out by the dry and cold north wind. Liu Yuan had breakfast early in the morning, and asked Dian Wei and Qi Zhou to bring one hundred and thirty personal guards (Liu Yuan collected the mountain bandits and thieves on the road from Luoyang to Hedong, plus the thirty subordinates of Dian Wei when he was a bandit before, a total of more than 200, more than 80 were killed in the battle of Zhuoxian, more than 20 were seriously wounded, and now there are only more than 100 people who were taken away by Huang Chang at that time, and only 130 people can go to the battlefield again. And two thousand foot soldiers, looking out into the wilderness outside the city.

At this time, the flags outside the city had already been unfurled, and the entire 30,000 troops lined up in a phalanx, waiting for Liu Yuan's arrival under the leadership of Xu Huang and others.

From afar, I heard the sound of neat footsteps, from far and near. All the armies looked up, only to see a black-armored general sitting on the back of the sacred cow, the slightest ray of sunlight reflected on him, as if the gods descended to earth, soaring clouds and fog, only a moment, came to the front of the armies.

Liu Yuan felt the gaze of more than 30,000 pairs of eyes, and accompanied by Xu Huang and the others, he calmly walked onto the newly built Dianjiang platform.

Liu Yuan slowly turned around, his face calm.

"Meet Taishou-sama!" 30,000 rough shouts shook the worship platform three times. In the whole empty field, there are echoes everywhere!

"Everyone, please get up!" Liu Yuanqingyue's voice suppressed the shout in an instant, and it spread to everyone's ears, and all the troops stood up when they heard the words.

Liu Yuan frowned and looked at the extremely untidy posture queue below, which made the three generals around him extremely nervous.

"Tell me, who are you?"

Now, the whole audience has become a vegetable market. Some say peasants, some say slaves, and some even say Han Chinese.

"Enough!" Liu Yuan snorted violently and said, "I am extremely dissatisfied with you!" ”

The 30,000 people were suddenly silent, and they all looked at the Taishou Lord on the stage tremblingly, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"Let me tell you!" Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the 30,000 'army' and said, "You are soldiers!" ”

Looking at the soldiers in the audience, Liu Yuan asked again: "So, who can tell me, what, it's a soldier!" What are the duties of a soldier? ”

The audience was silent.

If you want to ask some food, drink, and Lazar, they still have some opinions, but if you want to ask a particularly 'profound' question of 'what is a soldier?', they can't get it up.

"You!" Liu Yuan pointed to a soldier directly in front of him and said, "Take two steps forward and answer me loudly!" ”

"Tell my lord, I don't know!" That soldier can stand in the front row, presumably not an ordinary person, he can actually not change his color in front of Liu Yuan, how to answer, how to answer.

"Good!" Liu Yuan smiled: "Have courage!" It's a piece of material for being a soldier! ”

"Stand down!" Liu Yuan drank the man back, pointed to another person, and said, "You come and talk about it!" ”

"My lord, a certain family, a certain family does not know. I just feel from the bottom of my heart that we are soldiers to protect the old and young masters in the township and let them not be plundered by Hulu. The man blushed and stammered.

"Good!" Liu Yuan slapped his palm, making the soldier tremble.

"So, can anyone else tell me the answer?" Liu Yuan's eyes shone sharply, and when he looked there, there was a large number of soldiers who lowered their heads.

"Okay, since everyone doesn't talk about it, let me say it!" Liu Yuan waved his hand and pointed to the north and said, "Presumably everyone knows that the meaning of our Yuyang's soldiers is to fight against Xianbei, Wuhuan and other alien races. So I can tell you, what is a military man? Our soldiers are the swords in the hands of His Majesty! It is a shield in the hands of the people! Because of you, Dahan can be invincible! Because of you, the people can live and work in peace and contentment! ”

"Soldier, his duty is to guard! It's an offense! Protect the land of our Han and protect our fathers and fellow villagers! Attack the enemy of our Han, let the Han be powerful all over the world, and build the feats of defending Huo! ”

Liu Yuan stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "You have to remember!" An army should have his faith! With faith, you can be invincible! Therefore, I ask you to remember that you have only one purpose in fighting on the battlefield and sacrificing your blood and life, and that is for the country and the people! ”

"You guys, remember?! Answer me! ”

"Remember!"

"Louder!"

"Remember—stop—!"

"Good!" Liu Yuan was pleased: "I hope that you can engrave my words in your heart and spread them, so that all the soldiers of the Han Dynasty know what they are fighting for!" ”

These words made some of the big-headed soldiers enthusiastic, eager to go to the battlefield immediately and fight the enemy. It is Xu Huang, Yan Liang, and Huang Chang, all of whom are surging with red tides.

"Do you know the purpose of bringing everyone together from the counties?" Liu Yuan said: "That's because the Wuhuan barbarians will soon attack Yuyang!" ”

"Do you want to watch the land being trampled down, your parents killed, your wives and children humiliated?"

"I don't want to!"

"Then, just follow my request, grit your teeth and persevere!" Liu Yuan shook his finger and said, "I can tell you that the practice I have formulated is absolutely worthy of hell on earth!" Each of you looks strong and strong, but I can tell you for sure, you can't! Absolutely not many people make it to the end! ”

At this time, Liu Yuan can be said to have aroused public indignation, and the entire wilderness was noisy and unconvinced.

"Hey!" Liu Yuan sneered: "Since you are so confident, then, now practice the first item!" Where are Xu Huang, Huang Chang, and Yan Liang! ”

"The last general!"

"You immediately lead the soldiers and give me ten laps along Yuyang County, whoever falls behind will not be born by my mother, hurry up and give me a fuck and go home to feed!" If any team does the best and meets the requirements of Ben Taishou, I will give them a meal tonight and eat fat! These words were louder, and the more than 30,000 soldiers were all excited, shouting that they would definitely be able to complete the task, but they didn't care about the workload of 'going around the city ten times' in front of them.

"The last general obeys!"

"Dian Wei, you also go, take these two thousand foot soldiers and let these county soldiers see where they are!"

"Yes!"

Several generals stepped down separately, hurriedly cleaned up the team, and rushed to lead the way out!

Liu Yuan looked at the already empty venue with a sneer, and said in his heart that this was just an appetizer.

Although the 30,000 soldiers collected by Xu Huang and others have removed the old and young who are over forty and fifteen, there are still some mud in them that can't support the wall, and there are quite a few of them. Liu Yuan pursues a policy of elite soldiers, so naturally he can't have so many people, not to mention that Yuyang's finances are tight now, and Liu Yuan eats vegetarian food every meal, where can he get enough grain and grass to feed the 30,000 army?

In Liu Yuan's opinion, to defend Yuyang, 15,000 elites is enough, and too much is a waste!

Touching his shriveled belly and smashing his mouth, Liu Yuan recalled the life of the drunken gold fan in Luoyang, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Fortunately, I sent someone to Luoyang a while ago to find Liu Yi to extract money, grain and grass, otherwise I really won't be able to support it this winter!"

Speaking of the Huaxia Commercial Bank established by Liu Yi at the behest of Liu Yuan, it has become popular all over the Luoyang area a month after Liu Yuan left. In the tavern, in the academy, and even in the secret room of the family, there are also voices talking about Luoyang Commercial Bank.

First of all, it is a high-purity wine.

The freshness and sweetness of this wine is comparable to that of Tiangong Xianjiu, and it has been in short supply soon after the launch of Huaxia Commercial Bank! Merchants and families from all over the country have asked for the secret recipe to be made public, and even used secret powers, but they are all lost in the sea and there is no information.

There is no way, the magnates in Luoyang, the eunuchs, and even the Son of Heaven have bribed them, and who cares about those discordant voices?

As for the assassins and dead soldiers dispatched, they were naturally reimbursed in the hands of Liu Yi and others. In just a month or two, the eleven Liu family slaves in charge of the trading house, with the miraculous effect of the soldier's essence and the magic of the assassin's feats, forcibly promoted them from ordinary bandits to first- and second-rate masters! Especially when they practice the peculiarity of assassin techniques, they are super-first-class masters, and I am afraid they will not be able to escape their assassination!

Then, the emergence of new papermaking technology completely pushed Huaxia Commercial Bank to the forefront! Students and scholars from all over the world, and the big families praised one after another, saying that this was a grand event of the Han Dynasty, and they even touted Ling Yanjing as fluttering.

Fortunately, another Central Plains trading firm appeared out of nowhere, and it actually came up with movable type printing! With the white, ink-scented books flowing from Luoyang to all over the country, the entire Han Dynasty turned up a monstrous wave!

People rushed to tell each other, only that this papermaking and printing technology are magic techniques that are useful in the present and beneficial in the future. When someone inquired, they learned that this Central Plains Commercial Bank was under the command of Liu Yuan, the clan relatives of the Han family, the Marquis of Yuyang, and Liu Yuan and Liu Zihong.

There are also people who secretly speculate about the connection between Huaxia Commercial Bank and Zhongyuan Commercial Bank, but how do they know that sending someone to check it is just a cooperative relationship - Huaxia Commercial Bank makes paper, and Central Plains Commercial Bank publishes a book.

Although there are still people who secretly suspect it, they can't find evidence, so they can only stop it.

After Liu Yuan arrived in Yuyang, he got the news of Liu Yi and others, but it was Liu Yi who secretly sent someone to report the news.

At this time, Tian Feng and others issued an alert to Liu Yuan and was short of gold and food. Liu Yuan immediately called the person who reported the news to go back and informed Liu Yi to deliver supplies to Yuyang in the name of the Central Plains Commercial Bank.

"It's been more than half a month, and I don't know where the grain and grass have gone?" Liu Yuan only thought in his heart, this Luoyang to Yuyang, thousands of miles away, it will take at least half a year to go back and forth, and it will be possible until the materials arrive, I am afraid it will be possible in the early summer of next year.

Thinking of the 300,000 stone grain and grass in the treasury, Liu Yuan could only smile bitterly.

He exempted Yuyang from taxes for two years, handed over to the treasury in these two years, supported the army and officials, and all the expenses of the Taishou Mansion had to be paid for by himself, and fortunately he had the foresight to create a chamber of commerce, otherwise as long as it was March next year, the entire Yuyang military and political system would have to drink the northwest wind! What will be the consequences when the time comes, it is simply unimaginable.

But Liu Yuan is not afraid that it will continue like this. He has a lot of ideas in his heart to make money, and he can implement them just by waiting for this sudden retreat, and he believes that in a few years, his pocket will definitely bulge, and even become the richest person in the Han Dynasty!

When he came back to his senses, Liu Yuan stood alone on the worship platform, and a gust of bleak north wind blew the bright red cloak behind him, swaying and swaying.
