Chapter 108: The New Year's Morning

The lively night of the Lantern Festival has passed.

Day and night alternate, and today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

While ordinary citizens are still immersed in the noise and happiness of last night, everyone is still sleeping soundly in the warm room.

At this time, the Daxing Palace was already crowded.

According to the custom, after the night of Shangyuan, it means that the annual leave has passed, and today is the first early dynasty of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause.

All the high-ranking ministers in Daxing City were dressed up, and before dawn, they came to Daxing Palace early to wait.

After the bell rang, the ministers entered the Daxing Palace in order.

Yang Yu yawned and touched his throne with sleepy eyes.

"Meet His Royal Highness!"

The ministers visited at the same time.

After a period of courtly ceremonies, the first early dynasty of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause officially began.

"The last general, Huo Shiju, see His Royal Highness the Acting King!" Huo Shiju stepped forward to pay respects.

A mottled armor is particularly conspicuous, and the actions are strong and powerful, and the murderous spirit is vertical and horizontal, which makes the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty dare not force their eyes, and the military attaches are envious.

The tired face showed that Huo Shiju rushed back to Daxing City overnight.

"General Huo is exempt!" Yang Yu sobered up a little and nodded with a smile.

"On the orders of His Royal Highness the Acting King, the last general attacked overnight, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, he exterminated the remnants of the most robbers in the Guanzhong region, and the two bandits Qiu Shili and Xiang Shanzhi were all given the head. There are no more bandits in the Guanzhong area. Huo Shiju's words are sonorous and powerful, and his confidence is extraordinary.

Now the whole country is not effective in suppressing bandits, even the Sui Dynasty warrior Zhang Xutuo was defeated and died, and he is the only one in the whole country, Huo Shiju is against the trend, how can he not be proud in his heart.

Of course, he also knew that he had achieved such great results, and the biggest party was the more than 4,000 of the most elite soldiers selected by His Royal Highness the Acting King, as well as a steady stream of material supplies.

"Good!" Rao is Yang Yu had already received good news, but this time he said it personally from Huo Shiju's mouth, which still made him extremely excited.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King is wise!"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were also overjoyed, and the successive extermination of bandits was also of great benefit to them.

When the original king formed the bandit suppression army, everyone regarded it as a measure to check and balance the eastern capital, and no one could expect Yang Yu to do much.

But what happened next left everyone stunned,

On a whim, Yang Yu directly used the unheard-of method of running to select more than 4,000 of the most elite soldiers, as well as hundreds of candidates, and concentrated the materials of 15,000 soldiers and horses on these 5,000 soldiers.

Such a whim is simply incredible, and all the ministers are puzzled by Yang Yoo's actions, thinking that Yang Yoo is really messing around.

However, Yang Yu proved his right with practical actions, and the newly formed anti-bandit force wiped out Taibai Cottage overnight, and Li Zhongwen, who was rampant for a while, was given the head.

Then the bandit suppression force was out of control, crushing all the way, and the ordinary bandits had no ability to resist at all.

Until the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve after the last day, a cannon was fired twice, and at the same time the two bandits Xiang Shanzhi and Qiu Shili who shrank deep in the mountains were exterminated.

"General Huo has worked hard, this king has already made a recital to the emperor's grandfather and asked General Huo for credit." Yang Yu said with satisfaction.

Huo Shiju's miraculous performance made everyone look sideways, this previously inconspicuous general, burst out with amazing military talent overnight.

The tremendous military victory has made everyone in the military red-faced, the bandits in the Guanzhong area have been wiped out, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment.

"General Yin!" Yang Yu looked at the Yin World Master.

"The last general!" The Yin Shi is out of the ranks.

"The stability of Daxing City is the top priority, and the Soldiers and Horses Division will maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times to ensure the stability of Daxing City." Yang Yu commanded.

"The last general obeys!" The Yin World Master said solemnly.

"General Qu!"

"The old minister is here!" Qu Tutong responded to the call.

"General Qu is an important minister left by the emperor's grandfather, and the stability of the Guanzhong region, General Qu is really hard work." Yang Yu praised.

Qu Tutong has always maintained his independence above the court, maintained his transcendent position, and tried his best to benefit the military department in peacetime, but the key issue was not to express his position.

For Qu Tutong, Yang Yu did not hint or solicit. After all, if he goes too far with the military, it is estimated that Yang Guang may not be able to tolerate himself.

When Yang Yu formed the anti-bandit army, he took the initiative to reduce the number from 15,000 to 5,000.

In fact, Yang Yu's approach is very correct, and Qu Tutong is very cooperative in this matter.

The order to select and transfer elite soldiers was directly sent to each provincial guard, and the best elite soldiers were selected by the bandit suppression troops.

Excellent soldiers are the most fundamental reason for the successive victories in the suppression of bandits.

"It is not easy for the Guanzhong region to settle down, and I hope that General Qu will strictly control all counties in the new year to prevent the recurrence of rebellion." Yang Yu stared at the Qutu Channel.

"The last will obey." Qu Tutong said solemnly.

Now that the Guanzhong region has finally settled down and officially attracted the attention of the whole country, if there is chaos at this time, it will be fun to laugh at the world.

Yang Yu nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to Wen Guan.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qiyu, Jingzhao County is full of all industries, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Last year, Jingzhao County's tax revenue has reached 1 million! Yan Juncheng came out of the queue and said excitedly.

The New Year's Dynasty meeting is equivalent to the March meeting of the Celestial Empire in the future, when the official departments express their merits to each other.

The tax revenue of Daxing City is as high as one million guan, which is something that has never happened in the empire.

Jingzhao County's tax of one million guan is real, there is no showdown, no tax increase.

Such a high performance has never been seen in the history of the empire. With such a huge credit in his hands, how could he not make Yan Juncheng ecstatic.

"Good!" Manchu officials were excited.

Such a high tax has already left Luoyang City behind. Daxingcheng once again proved that its rise is not a momentary luck, but a real strength.

"Immediately report the good news to the imperial grandfather!" Yang Yu said happily.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Dai!" Yan Juncheng got the answer he wanted and retreated satisfied.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King!" The Ministry of Works, the squire Heihiro, returned to the ranks.

Yang Yu looked at Ping Honggui with satisfaction, this skilled official has been conscientious all his life.

What's even more commendable is that the level of Pinghonggui's technique is very high, and the requirements for Yang Yu's strange techniques can always be completed.

"Before the New Year, in the entire Guanzhong area, the construction of brick roads has exceeded 1,000 miles." Ping Honggui said proudly.

"A thousand miles!" Manchao exclaimed.

It turned out that unconsciously, the brick road had such a scale.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty now know the value of the brick road, clean, tidy, flat, and fast, these benefits cannot describe the changes brought by the brick road.

Or this is a kind of life, as soon as you step on the brick road again, no one wants to go back to the era of ignorance when the loess is flying all over the sky.

This is also one of the reasons why Daxing City can attract many local tyrants from Kanto.

"Ping Shirou has worked hard! The construction of the brick road was due to a large donation from the Ministry of Works. Yang Yu praised.

"At that time, it was the duty of Weichen!" Ping Honggui was proud in his heart, and said humbly in his mouth.

The brick road and the four-wheeled carriage are one prosperity and one loss. Use the money from the sale of horse-drawn carriages to expand the brick road and provide a wider market for four-wheeled carriages.

At the same time, the four-wheeled carriage was selling well and was popular all over the country, making Ping Honggui famous, and spitting out the evil spirit of the year.
