Under the governance of the Governor's Office of Youzhou, the people of Youzhou are increasingly enthusiastic about participating in politics, and various laws and regulations that are conducive to the people's rights and people's livelihood have been continuously formulated and promulgated, so that the rights of the people under the rule of Youzhou have been legally protected. Youzhou's financial system was further improved, and the central money bank officially began business and issued currency. The experience of issuing gold bills in Nanyi was borrowed and quickly seized the market for large-denomination currencies. Sufficient gold reserves, rich and stable social order, Niu Tianci was able to establish a gold standard financial system based on gold reserves, ensuring the strength of paper money.

At the same time, the northwestern states under Youzhou's rule achieved food self-sufficiency for the first time, all because Murong Feng found a lot of land that was not marked on the charts on his way to Hongyi, and also brought back a large number of seeds of new crops. Among them are corn, potatoes, peanuts and sweet potatoes. These drought-tolerant, high-yielding crops are very suitable for cultivation in various places, and the amount of grain reserves in the northwest has reached the level of disaster in just one year.

Under the rule of Youzhou, all industries are prosperous, and all kinds of meat that ordinary people are usually reluctant to eat also often appear on the table. Sufficient tax revenue has enabled the Youzhou Governor's Office to spend a lot of money on improving people's livelihood, increasing the coverage of basic education, public health, etc. The army building has embarked on the road of rapid development, and the equipment of the various armies under the rule of Youzhou has been changed almost all over again. Mortars and field guns replaced the ballistae of the past, and even the warships of both fleets were equipped with newly made naval guns.

What Niu Tianci is most proud of is the establishment of Youzhou Military Academy, Comprehensive Academy of Sciences, School of Political Science and Law, and School of Finance and Economics. With the exception of the Military Academy, these academies were all separated from the Liulin Woniu Academy, which not only expanded the number of students, but also allowed them to teach separately for different talents. Although these colleges and universities have not been established for a long time, they will definitely cultivate a large number of professionals for Niu Tianci's group in the future.

Now Niu Tianci can be described as smooth, and what makes him even happier is that Yuan Yuan is pregnant. Whether it is a man or a woman, this incident is definitely a huge good news that can stabilize people's hearts for Niu Tianci and the military and civilians under Youzhou.

Compared with the prosperity of Youzhou, the people under the rule of Emperor Xingsheng are not so comfortable. Long Xingrong now knows that he is a strong soldier, but the army is a gold-swallowing beast, and he can't do it without money. Long Xingrong doesn't have the ability of Niu Tianci, nor does he have rich places like Jiangnan and Nanyi, so he has no choice but to raise taxes. He also implemented the salt, iron, wine, and other industries into government-runs, and collected a lot of money, but the people were forced to cut off their livelihoods. The people who had no source of livelihood had to leave their hometowns and go to Youzhou.

This method of fishing from the dry water will be beneficial in the short term. But in the long run, the foundation of the country will be shaken, and the population of the people will shrink sharply, a vicious circle will be formed.

As distressed as Long Xingrong is Su Meiduo. It should be said that in two years, the national strength of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate has increased a lot, and the army has also made great progress. Su Meiduo obtained a lot of ordnance manufacturing technology from Long Xingrong, and the equipment level of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate skyrocketed, and its combat power was better than before. However, it has always been difficult to occupy an advantage in the confrontation with the twelve border states of Great Yan, and it stands to reason that the Heavenly Wolf Khanate occupies the entire steppe and has restricted the import of horses to Great Yan, but the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Legion has not only not decreased, but has increased more and more.

Sumedo was puzzled, but in the end, it was Jeberi who discovered the mystery. It turned out that in the contest between the Flying Tiger Legion and the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, Niu Tianci not only adopted the wolf's tactics, but also the wolf's methods. That is, the war horses that must be captured in every battle, and the captured Rongbu tribes moved to the horse farms in Liaodong or the northwest. In this way, the Flying Tiger Legion not only had a sufficient supply of war horses, but also some obedient Rong tribes to graze for them. Su Meiduo's order to restrict the input of war horses to Dayan was like a piece of waste paper.

In order to prevent this from happening again, Su Meiduo ordered the herdsmen of all tribes not to cross the camp of Wolf Mountain, so that the actual control between the twelve border states of Dayan and Wolf Mountain fell into the hands of Niu Tianci. It can be said that Jebeli, who was stationed in the Wolf Mountain camp, was completely passive, and was blocked by Niu Tianci's Flying Tiger Legion in the Wolf Mountain camp. The advantage of the Sky Wolf Riding Iron Horse Rush Attack could not be brought into play at all, and they could only adopt the positional defense tactics that they were not good at.

Su Meiduo thought that if he controlled the trade routes, a steady stream of wealth would flow into his pocket. I never thought that Niu Tianci would rule all over the country, and there would be no need to do business with the Heavenly Wolf Khanate at all, and the wealth would be rolling. Manggul also took the same measures, and the Anxi army did not stay in Anxi City honestly, they sent cavalry to raid the grasslands from time to time, and no one dared to graze within a hundred miles around Anxi City.

Su Meiduo and Long Xingrong's correspondence is still frequent, but Su Meiduo can feel that although Long Xingrong is still the same as before. But he is a good learner and will not promise anything easily. People are constantly growing, and Su Meiduo doesn't know how long he can influence Long Xingrong. And she didn't have time to think about these things either. Because in recent times, disputes between various departments have often broken out between the Far East and Sky Wolf City, mostly because of the uneven division of pastures. The Far Eastern tribes that followed Sumedo considered themselves superior and wantonly occupied the original lands of the various tribes on the steppe.

The herdsmen of Rongbu regard the pasture as their life, and how can they tolerate the occupation of their own pasture, so they often draw their swords against each other. There have been many such conflicts, and they all need to be dealt with by Sumedo. It's a very brain-wrenching thing, and it's not good to take sides. For this reason, Su Meiduo has a headache, but the most headache for him is Niu Tianci.

In the past two years, Niu Tianci has been busy governing the government affairs of the jurisdiction, but even so, he has not given up the suppression of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, this strategy is to take small steps and swallow the grassland into his stomach in one bite. This is exactly the same as what was done in the Far East Surhu, and now Niu Tianci uses this method of warfare on the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, and Su Meiduo deeply feels the difficulty of the successive Great Governors of the Far East back then. This kind of enemy on all sides has to be on guard at any time to be bitten by people, and if the status quo is not changed, the Heavenly Wolf Khanate is afraid that it will be in danger.

Faced with complicated political affairs, Su Meiduo forced himself to focus on how to deal with the Flying Tiger Army. She kept asking herself what she would do if it was Niu Tianci. Niu Tianci went from a small attendant to a mighty general, what did he rely on. A shrewd mind, superhuman force, that's for sure, so how does he control his subordinates and govern the people?

Su Meiduo looked at a document on the table, which was the various policies and decrees of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion that had been gathered here through various channels. Some of these are worth learning from, while others are not suitable for the national conditions of the Sirius Khanate. When Sumedo flipped through these decrees casually, a popular reward system fell into Sumedo's eyes.

This system is a reward system for those who have made outstanding contributions among the people under the rule of Youzhou. The whole article strictly stipulates what kind of contribution can enjoy what kind of reward, Su Meiduo looked at this system carefully, and gradually an idea appeared in her mind.

"Military merit bestows soil". The Rong tribes were all brave warriors, and if they were to use the land and pastures as a reward, they would be encouraged to expand their land, and the land occupied by the Heavenly Wolf Khanate and the tribes would each take half of it. Wouldn't that lead the attention of the people to a farther place than just a small part of the place in front of them? The more Su Meiduo thought about it, the more excited he became, which could not only alleviate the contradictions between the various departments, but also promote the enterprising spirit of the soldiers and subordinates of the Sky Wolf Rider.

Everyone will work hard for their own interests, and this will never be wrong. And in this way, it is equivalent to training reserve soldiers, imagine the person who survives in this constant struggle, even if it is a child, can you underestimate him?

Thinking of this, Su Meiduo quickly ordered people to find Mu Lun and the Khans of the various ministries, and a meeting of the highest level was held in the Heavenly Wolf Palace.

When Sumedo spoke his mind, none of the people present objected. Mu Lun excitedly said to Sumeduo: "Great Khan, please believe that your people, for the sake of the land regarded as life, any of the tribes of the Rong tribe will take up the scimitar and fight to the end. Rongbu is a fighting nation, a nation that has the courage to forge ahead, and a nation that dares to face death. Great Khan, you can give an order, add military merits to the Heavenly Wolf Code, and the history of the Rong Department will be even more brilliant because of your wisdom. ”

"Please give the order of the Great Khan!"

The Khan of the various ministries fell to their knees and expressed their support for Sumedo's decision.

Su Meiduo stood up and announced: "Please ask Prime Minister Mu Lun to improve the system of conferring land for military merits, and after the formulation is completed, join the promulgation and implementation of the Heavenly Wolf Code." ”

A month later, the Great Khan of the Celestial Wolf Khanate promulgated the system of conferring military merits, and the whole country was boiling. The friction between the various ministries quickly declined, and the tribes formed their own gangs and went to Anxi, Liaodong and the twelve border prefectures.

Niu Tianci took the "military merit award" system written in the wolf script, and couldn't stop nodding and praising it. This system is based on its own reward and punishment system, but it is also in line with the actual situation of the people. It's like a wolf giving a command to tell the wolves that there is fresh flesh and blood not far away, and whoever grabs it will be whoever. Rong Lu is a people full of wolf nature, the desire for land is like a hungry wolf seeing blood, as soon as such a system is introduced, how can it not make the Rong Lu people crazy. This is a very bold and extremely cruel system.

He greatly stimulates the most primitive greed hidden in people's hearts, which can not only make the captives recover the weak little by little, but also create hordes of wolf-like armies fed by flesh and life. This army is destined to be savage and powerful, and will become the great enemy of the Flying Tiger Legion.

Niu Tianci put down the document in his hand, thought for a while, and then ordered the Supreme Military and Political Council to be convened. If you want not to be eaten by wolves, you have to make yourself more cruel and ruthless than wolves. It didn't take long for an order to be transmitted to the twelve border states, and the content of the order was only one sentence: "The evil wolf is coming, and the army and the people are fighting." If you invade my territory, you can kill both the army and the people! ”

This order was later known by historians as the "Killing Order". Since then, the twelve border states of Dayan have been battlefields everywhere, and the army and civilians have gone into battle. In the vast land before Wolf Mountain, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion and the training of regiments from various places were active everywhere. Those Heavenly Wolf Riders and Rong tribesmen who howled and pounced, with their desire for land, launched a life-and-death struggle with the swarming Dayan soldiers and civilians.

The battle lasted for so long, the scope of the battle, and the brutality of the battle that even historians thousands of years later could not help but shed tears after reading this account. sighed that Niu Tianci and Su Meiduo, the two chess players, were like iron and stone at this moment, and regarded human life like a mustard.

But if historians return to this era, they will certainly not say such things. Because this is a life-and-death contest, either you die or I die. During this period, there is no warmth, no fairness, only life or death. (To be continued.) )
