"Lord!" Su Li rolled off his horse and stepped forward to kneel down and salute.

"Brother is hard work, no need to be polite." Li Yi stopped Su Li with a smile on his face.

"The lord is benevolent and generous, and the promises he made are fulfilled one by one, and Su Li is grateful, even if he is broken, he can't repay the kindness of the lord!" Sully's expression was still very excited.

"A gentleman promises a thousand gold, this is human nature, why should a brother take it to heart." Ha ha! Li Yi smiled heartily: "There is still a promise that has not been fulfilled, but it is only a matter of time before Huaitou is captured." Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, as soon as I am sure of his whereabouts, I will raise troops to capture him! ”

"The great kindness of the lord is remembered by Su Liyong!" After that, Su Li was about to kneel down and salute again, but was stopped by Li Yi in time.

"In such a hot weather, if you stay outside the house for a long time, you will not be able to bear it, let's go into the city and talk about it in detail!" As a military general, Li Yi is not afraid of the wind and the sun, but there are still many civil servants in the team, and their feelings must be considered. Especially Zhen Yu, who can't be blown by the wind and can't be drenched in the rain, is also gritting his teeth and enduring the torment.

Back in the meeting hall, everyone sat down in different positions, Li Yi glanced at it, and said with a smile on his face: "You have followed me Li Yi, experienced ups and downs, and experienced hardship and blood and tears. Fortunately, the bloody storm has passed, and the good days have come. As long as my Han and Xian brothers go on a blind date and try to avoid unpleasant things, they can spend the moon on the willow tops, and people will be about the days after dusk. ”

Li Yi has promulgated interim regulations on the harmonious coexistence of ethnic groups, drawing on the successful experience of later generations, implementing the policy of equality for all ethnic groups, respecting each other's customs and habits, uniting and helping each other, refraining from ethnic discrimination, and giving due consideration to a very small number of ethnic groups.

Because the Xianbei people practiced complete self-control, the tribes were still led by the commander, and from top to bottom, they did not feel ruled by the Han people, but because of the establishment of free trading places, the Hu and Han people exchanged what they had, which greatly enriched the material life of the Xianbei people. At the same time, it has also greatly improved the quality of life of the Han people, and the meat that rich and noble people can eat has been put on the table of ordinary people.

After a large-scale war, both the Han and Xian tribes suffered heavy casualties, and it took some time to heal their psychological wounds. People need to recuperate and take advantage of the peaceful environment to develop production. Li Yi secretly vowed that in the last few years, he would never start a war unless he had to.

"The horse market in western Liaoning is saturated, and Yuyang and Youbei are no longer profitable, so I suggest that we should put aside Youzhou and set our sights on Jizhou." Liu Ping blinked his little eyes and said what he thought.

Jianping's financial pressure was enormous, and because after the war, the people had to recuperate, and no taxes were levied for three years. Even if it returns to normal after three years, according to the levy ratio of 30 taxes and 1, the property obtained from the land is a drop in the bucket.

In order to increase productivity as soon as possible, to have a stable harvest in farmland, and to raise the army's equipment to a new level...... Every new initiative comes with a huge overhead.

Selling horses is the main source of income for Jianping, and it happens that the price of horses in the Han realm has soared, which is the most profitable time, so Jianping's horses will continue to flow to the Central Plains.

"Liu Ping's suggestion is good, the horse trade supports our finances and is now able to meet our normal expenses. However, in order to take precautions and prevent emergencies, it is necessary to have a certain surplus. It is very necessary to march into Jizhou, but with our strength and the policies we have adopted, we do not have such conditions. Yu Bing casually looked at Zhen Yu, she paused for a moment, and then continued: "I think of my old friend Zhen family, Jianping can have today, all thanks to the generosity of the Zhen family. But if there is no return for the effort, it is not durable, and it is easy to make people's hearts cold. I want to hand over the horse trade to the Zhen family, I don't know what to do with Zi Shu? ”

When Liu Ping went to Zhen's house, he showed his tone, and Zhen Yi was moved and handed over the pearl in his palm. Without Zhen Yu, the Zhen family suffered a lot of losses. This is just like Yu Bing said, only giving is not sustainable, and a certain return must be given.

"The Zhen family's ability is limited, and I am afraid that they have a heavy trust." Zhen Yu is the person on the scene, although he is ecstatic in his heart, he still refuses to speak.

"Looking at Jizhou, who can compare with the Zhen family, if Zishu makes another excuse, it will be a heart to see the excitement of my Jianping." Yu Bing said half-jokingly.

When it came to this, Zhen Yu couldn't excuse himself, he smiled and said: "If the lord sends someone to Wuji, Yu can attach a letter to explain the relevant situation of Jianping to his father, which is more conducive to the old man's judgment." ”

"It's so good, it's a matter of mine for me." Li Yi smiled and nodded: "After this trade channel is opened, the things I buy in Jianping will also be borne by the Zhen family, so it can save a lot of trouble." ”

The taxes in the Han realm were very heavy, and in order to be profitable, the merchants all dredged up their relations to avoid heavy taxes. If it is dispersed to several families, each family needs to come up with an additional amount of filial piety money, and these money will eventually be counted on Li Yi's head. Li Yi hated this situation very much, but just now the county was like this, with his current strength, what can he do with these corrupt officials?

A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, in the final analysis, Li Yi did not dare to anger the big man. Bear with it for the time being, three years later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will teach Liu Hong a hard lesson.

"Thank you for your trust in my Zhen family." Zhen Yu replied with a smile: "My Zhen family will do their best to avoid the worries of the lord." ”

The Zhen family is a loyal friend, and to a certain extent, they can keep a secret for Jianping and give this new force a good space for development. The Zhen family, which puts integrity first, can also ensure the interests of Jianping, so as to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

"Thirty miles away from Jianping, a new mineral deposit was discovered, which is shallow and easy to mine, and the ore quality is excellent." Liu Ping said with a smile.

"At this rate, iron self-sufficiency will not be far off." Li Yi's face was also full of smiles. Iron was a necessity for the production of weapons and agricultural tools, and the ability to be self-sufficient freed from the control of the Great Han provided a solid foundation for the construction of weapons.

Li Yi and others are all from later generations, they know that Jianping is a large iron powder production county, iron ore is abundant, such a unique natural resource, how can they abandon it?

Among the Han people who fled to Jianping, there were no learned scholars, but there was no shortage of capable people in prospecting. Shinong industry and commerce, the Han realm is highly hierarchical, these are regarded as sideways and are not taken seriously. Dahan abandoned it, and it happened to be picked up by Li Yi for a big bargain, he doesn't care what your background is, as long as you have the ability, you will use it immediately.

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Now that it is finally peaceful, and the funds are not so tight, the road that was originally opened up in a hurry has been completely built. (To be continued.) )
