In addition to this, it is necessary to open up the newly recovered cities everywhere, reduce taxes, and attract a large number of merchants from the south to the north to do business, so that the economy of the places that were once occupied by Li Quan can be restored as soon as possible, and many idle people can be absorbed into industry, and the factors of instability in these places can be greatly reduced.

Zhao Yun is also an understanding person now, and he wants to do a career, after listening to the suggestions of Gao Huaiyuan and Zhen Dexiu, Ji Xiancheng and even Zheng Qingzhi, he readily agreed to their proposal, and ordered Zhen Dexiu to preside over this aspect of civil affairs, and immediately after Gao Huaiyuan recovered the lost territory, he immediately implemented these policies in these places.

So then it's time for Zhen Dexiu and Ji Xiancheng to be busy with their civilian officials, and Gao Huaiyuan only needs to leave a small number of generals to be responsible for clearing out Li Quan's remnants of his subordinates, until they are all wiped out, and Huaidong can also enter the road of normal development.

Gao Huaiyuan wrote a letter in Xuzhou City overnight, recounting in detail his extermination of Li Quanjun's army, and put forward some new suggestions for consolidating the locality, in which Zhao Yun was asked to allocate a large amount of grain to various places in Huaidong as soon as possible, one is to help the people here, and the other is to let these surrendered soldiers who have just surrendered have food to eat first.

At the same time, Gao Huaiyuan also emphasized the key role played by Chen Feihu's army in the operation to exterminate Li Quan's army this time, and greatly praised the loyalty of the generals of the Flying Tiger Army like Zhou Jun, Fu Daquan, and Liu Chengyi to the imperial court, and asked for credit for them. Ordered them to guard Huaidong.

Anyway, in the past 20 years, the Southern Song Dynasty has done a lot of things, and the names of the new army are complicated, and it is not a big deal to organize an additional Flying Tiger Army.

Another very important thing proposed by Gao Huaiyuan is to dredge the canal, which has been planned in Gao Huaiyuan's heart for a long time.

To talk about the dredging of the canal, it should have been something that was not on the agenda, but Gao Huaiyuan has been thinking about this matter, now Huaidong has been decided, Li Quanjun can be said to have been wiped out by the whole army, after the imperial army won a complete victory, tens of thousands of strong laborers were obtained in their hands, and in addition to the reorganization of a group of strong and good warriors into the army, there are still tens of thousands of spare strong laborers useless.

And these people can be used to dredge the canal, this is to prepare in advance for the future north to restore the Central Plains, you must know that most of the Song army is an infantry army, once the Northern Expedition of more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops to the north, logistics can make people have a headache to death, with the farther away from the north, the greater the logistical pressure, a soldier, at least two or three or even four or five people to provide him with logistics support, so that they have the ability to fight, and the Song army is different from the Mongolian army, the Mongols do not need too much logistics, they rely on looting along the way, and there is no need to take prisoners of war, to slaughter one place to another, the Song army is going north to restore the country, it is impossible to do their kind of random looting, and the logistical pressure will be much greater.

Relying on traditional land transportation alone, ox carts and mule carts alone, I am afraid that it is an astronomical amount, and the soldiers have to eat, and the people who transport the supplies also have to eat, and when a stone of grain is sent to the front and handed over to the army, it can be considered a quarter left, which is considered to be thankful.

Therefore, when Gao Huaiyuan carefully considered the reasons for the fiasco of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Restoration of the Central Plains in history, he found this serious problem.

In the end, the solution he thought of was only to rely on water transportation, the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty insisted on decades under the invasion of the Mongol army, one of the very important reasons is that the Southern Song Dynasty has always mastered the strength of the naval army in the early stage, as long as it is within the reach of the river, at the beginning, the Mongolian army has suffered a lot of losses from the Song army's naval division, so they can rely on only the advantage of the water, if the boat is used to transport food and various materials, it will be of great help to the logistics of the army, Ships carry much more capacity and employ fewer people than land transport, which reduces the consumption of food on the road and will play a vital role in supporting the operations of large armies.

Although there is a canal, but when the Northern Song Dynasty fell, the Southern Song Dynasty in order to resist the Jin army to the south, to prevent the Jin army from using the canal to pursue the Song army by boat, many places in the former Bianhe River were artificially silted, and later the Yellow River flooded, but also silted up a lot of river sections, and no one maintained them, so that now the canal can only reach Chuzhou, and the canal is also silted up and difficult to pass through the big ships, if the Song army goes north in the future, it is necessary to prepare in advance to dredge the canal section in the jurisdiction that the Song army can control, As much as possible, it is guaranteed that the ship can move north.

If everything is done later, it will be too late to do it, so this time Gao Huaiyuan is in such a hurry to clean up Li Quan, and the canal is also a very important reason.

Gao Huaiyuan stated in detail the importance of dredging the canal in the chapter, and asked Zhao Yun to issue an order to allocate grain funds to support him to carry out this project, but he wrote it like this, but he did not wait for Zhao Yun to agree to this matter, and immediately ordered that the troops from Chuzhou, Baoying, Suqian and Xuzhou in the early stage should be put into the project of dredging the canal first, and the province would raise them and waste food in vain.

When Gao Huaiyuan finished writing this recital, the eastern sky outside the window has begun to glow white, Gao Huaiyuan re-examined his own recital, and felt quite satisfied in his heart, but this writing and font are really not even flattering to himself, he has been in this world for so many years, he has practiced a strong martial arts, but has not practiced a good hand, looking at this font, Gao Huaiyuan is really a little embarrassed.

So he cried out, "Come!

A beautiful figure lifted the curtain and appeared in front of him.

Gao Huaiyuan's eyes lit up, since he sent out the army, he has not been stable for a day, until after the capture of Xuzhou, he was able to take a little rest in the official mansion of Xuzhou City, these days, he has forgotten a little about the existence of Qiu Tong around him, and today what surprised him was that Qiu Tong actually changed into a women's dress today, although her women's dress is not a skirt that women wear daily, but a strong suit, under a pair of pants, But Gao Huaiyuan, a guy whose eyes are full of men for a few months, still can't help but feel very surprised.

Is Lady Gao calling me? Qiu Tong obviously just got up not long ago, with a hint of lazy demeanor on her face, since she came out, in order not to let people find out about her daughter, she has been staying by Gao Huaiyuan's side, some time ago she accompanied Yang Miaozhen for a while, but after Gao Huaiyuan came out of Chuzhou, she followed again, still staying by Gao Huaiyuan's side, even at night, she was resting in Gao Huaiyuan's big tent, Ming Li She is Gao Huaiyuan's personal guard, in essence, just to avoid mixing in other men.

What makes Qiu Tong feel depressed is that Gao Huaiyuan doesn't seem to be interested in her, although she sometimes deliberately shows some little daughter postures when no one is around, but Gao Huaiyuan turns a blind eye every time, doesn't treat her as a woman at all, and always maintains a distance from her, she occupies his inner tent, Gao Huaiyuan sleeps on the ground in the outer tent, and even she sometimes takes a bath in the inner tent, Gao Huaiyuan immediately hides from the big tent.

At the beginning, Qiu Tong still scoffed at Gao Huaiyuan's performance, thinking that men are cats, and there is no cat in this world that does not steal, but when such a long time passed, she found that Gao Huaiyuan had devoted himself to the matter of Li Quan in the Northern Expedition, and did not show any covetousness for her at all.

This made Qiu Tong feel very defeated, she had imagined many possibilities after following Gao Huaiyuan out, especially if one day, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly became beastly and wanted to eat her, what should she do, in this world, now she only thinks that Gao Huaiyuan can be her husband, but if Gao Huaiyuan really wants to have a relationship with her, can she give her body to him like this?

But until now, she knew that she was too worried, because she found that Gao Huaiyuan still had a deep affection for Liu Er, and he didn't put his mind on her at all, but just treated her as a junior sister, and didn't show any thoughts of transcending at all, so Qiu Tong's mood gradually became much lighter during this time.

She began to show respect for Gao Huaiyuan, silently continued to stay by his side, acting as his personal guard, in the dead of night, she would silently feel sorry for herself, feeling that she met Gao Huaiyuan too late, let Liu Er take the lead, there are too few such men in this world, besides him, who else can be stronger than him? Although she was a little disappointed that Gao Huaiyuan turned a blind eye to her, deep down, she became more and more convinced of her determination to follow this man in this life no matter what.

Now Qiu Tong no longer thinks about the issue of status, in Gao Huaiyuan's heart, Liu Er's position is irreplaceable, no matter who it is, in this case, she is no longer like the position of a wife, as long as she can stay by Gao Huaiyuan's side, she will be content.

So gradually she put away her previous temper, and treated Gao Huaiyuan more and more gently, in the past two days, she saw that although Gao Huaiyuan had solved Li Quan's matter, she was still busy, and she knew that Gao Huaiyuan was too tired, so she had been silently taking care of Gao Huaiyuan's daily life for the past two days. didn't notice her presence at all, until it was almost dawn, Qiu Tong couldn't hold on to the chair outside and slept for a while, when she heard Gao Huaiyuan call someone, she was awakened, and quickly got up and walked into the room.
