Three days later, it coincided with the regular small court meeting of the city-state, and in addition to those who participated in the big court meeting, there were all the directors of the five departments of the two prefectures, and the generals of the two major military towns of the literary and artistic army.

As soon as Yao Ruoyu arrived at the political affairs hall, he saw hundreds of people crowding the whole room, but because there were not enough chairs, some people had to stand up, so as not to crowd a group of people together.

Coming to the upper seat and sitting down with a smile, Yao Ruoyu bowed his head and said, "Are you all here?"

When Zhao Wen heard this, he hurriedly came out of the queue and said, "Lord Wang, they have all arrived." ”

Yao Ruoyu nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's start directly." ”

The first item of the meeting was naturally to discuss the matter of the attack on Guang'an, after two consecutive battles, whether it was the Night Dragoon, or the first military town and the second military town, they all suffered heavy losses, and had to replenish the battle losses from the reserve battalion.

Then Yuan Ren, the director of the Ministry of Officials' Examination Department, read out the rewards of each person, of course, these rewards were handed over to Yao Ruoyu's desk as early as yesterday, and he personally reviewed them.

And after these words were finished, Xu Xuan rolled up his sleeve robe and said: "This time, a total of 2,342 people were captured by the remnants of the Western Xia clan and the enemy army in Guang'an, of which eighty percent were two realms, one and a half were three realms, and the rest were four realms. ”

"More than two thousand captives?" Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "In this way, it just so happens that my Night Dragoon has suffered too much damage, so I will integrate all of them into the Night Dragoon, and then replenish some from the reserve camp, and combine them into two battalions with the original soldiers." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed greatly, and Bai Junru immediately persuaded him: "Leader, these people are either prisoners of the Jin State, or they are rebels in Western Xia, all of them have ill intentions, if they hold the spirit armor and gather the crowd again to plot against ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Ruoyu had already waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, since I have incorporated them into the Night Dragoon, I have the confidence to subdue them." ”

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu was full of confidence, everyone hesitated a little and stopped persuading.

It's just that Bai Qiuyu and the others secretly felt that Yao Ruoyu's heart was swollen because of the successive victories, and they wanted to turn around and let Yang Renjie and others supervise these surrendered troops well, so as not to cause chaos when they got it.

However, because Li Huo and others died or surrendered, the official position that the Dali remnants originally occupied in the city-state suddenly became vacant, causing everyone to fight.

After this matter was over, I saw Han Yiqi, who had two long braids, walking out of the crowd with a smile, and suddenly Bai Junru and other Confucian students couldn't help but shake their heads secretly, for them, this colorful dress was really unacceptable.

However, Han Yiqi didn't care about the eyes of everyone around him, and after he came to the hall and stood still, he smiled playfully: "Brother Demon, this time Guang'an lost his troops, the city lord was dying, the guards were seriously injured, and the 8,000 army was left with less than 2,000.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the political affairs hall, and everyone was shocked, and then they all groaned, and many people's eyes were even brighter, and they were quite moved by Han Yiqi's suggestion.

Unexpectedly, Han Yiqi would actually make a suggestion, Yao Ruoyu was also stunned, but when he saw the reaction of everyone in the hall, he shook his head unconsciously and smiled: "Yang Renjie." ”

"The end will be. When Yang Renjie heard this, he hurriedly came out and hugged his fists.

Yao Ruo smiled foolishly: "You are currently in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, let me ask you, does the current literary and artistic army still have the strength to fight?"

Yang Renjie thought about it, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm afraid not." ”

When Han Yiqi heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Brother Jie, where is it?"

Seeing that she was still calling others as "brother", Bai Junru couldn't bear it, brushed his sleeves and said angrily: "Han Yiqi, the general of the Sequoia Battalion, has no etiquette and openly ......."

With his fist against his lips, Yao Ruoyu coughed twice and said with a smile: "Ahem, Yiqi is my sister, in other words, she is also a sister Wang, and it is not impossible to call her a private person." ”

Yao Ruoyu has favored Yang Renjie's group of people not once or twice, just the cronyism made Bai Junru and others secretly slander several times, and seeing that he was still partial at this moment, Bai Junru really didn't bother to protest again, so he simply shut up and returned to the queue with a blue face.

After making a grimace at Bai Junru, Han Yiqi looked at Yang Renjie with a smile and hugged his fists pretendedly: "That, General Yang, although the losses of the Second Military Town are not small, our First Military Town should still retain its combat strength, right? After all, when we encircled and suppressed the Xixia people, we didn't lose many people!"

Shaking his head, Yang Renjie explained: "Although the loss of the first military town is not large, after all, there are only six thousand people in the second realm, and Guang'an is surrounded by the cities of the Jin Kingdom, once we send troops, the surrounding cities will definitely besiege it, and we can't stop it at all." ”

Han Yiqi pouted very dissatisfiedly when she heard this, but she also knew that what Yang Renjie said was the truth, so in the end, she only stomped her foot and returned to the team stupidly.

Seeing that Li Yilin, Fu Chaozan, Ren Jiasheng and others were all full of regret, Yao Ruoyu smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that Han Yiqi must have conspired with Li Yilin and others when he came out to suggest this time, but unfortunately he was refuted by himself and Yang Renjie.

When the matter was over, several more officials came out and reported some things one after another.

When the matter was almost dealt with, Yao Ruoyu suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, I remember that a few days ago, Councilor Zheng of the Senate participated in the Yanhu Battalion and was passive and slack, and did not send troops in time to encircle and suppress the thieves in the territory. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yu's face in the crowd suddenly turned as white as paper, not only him, but also several officials who had been bribed by the remnants of the Western Xia clan such as Wu Shuang of the household department all changed their faces miserably.

After hesitating for a few moments, Zheng Yu stepped out tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Yu, Yu Wangye, yes, yes, it's a lower official." ”

"Well, now that the thieves of the Guang'an army have retreated, we can also use our free hands to deal with those thieves," Yao Ruoyu said with a smile, then held his chin and muttered, "It's just that there was a battle three days ago, and this king feels that killing too much will inevitably hurt the heavens and ......."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent, except for Zheng Yu and the others, the rest of them hurriedly lowered their heads and held back their smiles.

The dignified king of Hezhou, the blood on his hands can almost stain the red river, and three days ago, he killed 4,000 cavalry with a sword.

After pretending for a while, Yao Ruoyu sighed and said, "Although those thieves are hateful, this king thinks that their lives should be valued, otherwise what is the difference between them and those golden dogs?"

Holding back the fear in his heart, Zheng Yu swallowed his saliva and smiled reluctantly: "Then, dare to ask the leader what is the best plan?"

"That's it, you, oh, and Wu Shuang," Yao Ruoyu named all the officials who had been bribed by the Western Xia relics, and then said with a smile, "Since you have the people of each township in your heart, you might as well go out with the army, don't be in a hurry to encircle and suppress when you arrive, you will persuade those thieves to surrender for this king, if you can succeed, you will make a great record." ”

Before he finished listening, Wu Shuang had already rolled his eyelids, fainted and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and several other people were also pale, Zheng Yu was still a little bold, and hesitated: "That, if it doesn't work out......"

"Didn't work out?" Yao Ruoyu blinked and suddenly smiled, "If it doesn't work, most of you won't be able to get out of the thief's nest." ”

"The prince spares his life!" an official suddenly threw himself to the ground in shock, and said in a trembling voice, "I am loyal to the city-state, and I have no second heart......!

"Since you are loyal, let us share the worries of this king. ”

Yao Ruoyu smiled gently, but everyone could feel the bloody Sen Sen under the peace: "Or do you not want to share the worries of this king?"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Meng had already pressed the handle of the knife, staring at the people with big eyes, and at the same time, the guards in the hall were also about to press the knife.

Seeing such a battle, Zheng Yu and the others could only agree with a sad face, and now their only hope was that the thieves who were bought by them were willing to surrender, otherwise, they might not be able to come back alive.

Seeing the fate of Zheng Yu and the others, everyone in the hall was awe-inspiring.

Although the dispute between the court and the court was so cruel, and these people deserved it, seeing Yao Ruoyu so blatantly forcing them into a dead end, a group of people still sighed in their hearts, thinking that their prince was really not a tolerant and generous person, and he endured it for ten days before he suddenly attacked.

Seeing that everyone was awe-inspiring, Yao Ruoyu smiled, took out an edict from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Meng, signaling him to read it out.

Chen Meng had long been accustomed to reading out the edict by himself, so he took it immediately, first glanced at it a few times, his face changed slightly, and suddenly the whole hall was shocked, and he didn't know what Yao Ruoyu was going to toss out again.

After reading the entire edict, Chen Meng couldn't help but look at Yao Ruoyu, and when he saw the other party's jaw signal, he stabilized his mind and read it slowly.

Yao Ruoyu's edict is mainly divided into three points.

The first point is that Wenbang will take Diaoyu City as the capital of the city-state from today, abolish all the towns and villages in the territory, establish two acropolises of Sanjiang and Yitong within the original scope, and defend Diaoyu City in the shape of a zigzag together with Hezhou City, and appoint Wang Li and Duan Li as the lords of Diaoyu and Sanjiang respectively, and Yao Ruoyu himself temporarily took the position of the lord of Yitong City.

The second point is that the military camp of the Military Aircraft Department was moved to Yitong City, and the three cities of Diaoyu, Hezhou, and Sanjiang can set up an army of one town, which is personally controlled by the city lord, and the address of the five departments of the two prefectures remains unchanged, and it is still in Diaoyu City.

The third point is to increase the intensity of foreign investment, especially after the market in Diaoyu City is gradually saturated, the focus of investment will be shifted to the new second city, and at the same time, the market in Hezhou City will also increase external channels, and strive to open up business routes with Nanban within half a year.

Except for the last point, which was not much attention because it was related to merchants, the first two points attracted everyone's attention.

Yang Renjie, Li Yilin, Jiang Siyu and others already had excited expressions on their faces when they heard "Moving through the City", and it was obvious that the name of this city came from the university they shared before they crossed over.

Duan Li and other Dali people were all excited, such a big event, of course, Yao Ruoyu had already discussed with Duan Li, thinking that the Dali relics were finally able to have a city of their own since they were exiled, everyone was excited.

And Bai Qiuyu was ugly, and after Chen Meng finished reading, he immediately stepped out of the crowd after he had endured it for a long time, and said, "Leader......"

Noticing Yao Ruo's foolish gaze, Bai Qiuyu changed his words in time: "King Yuwen, please withdraw the first edict." ”

"Reason. Yao Ruoyu smiled.

Bai Qiuyu stiffened his head and gritted his teeth and said: "The money required to build the city is innumerable, but the city-state has fought several major wars in succession, and the finances have reached the limit, and it is difficult to have spare money to build two acropolis. ”

Subsequently, officials from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites came out to second, but none of the officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry came out, and it was obvious that Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, and Duan Li had already ordered their subordinates.

"Don't worry, this king has already discussed with Minister Duan, the Dali clan will be responsible for the money needed to build Sanjiang City, and as for the ...... of moving through the city," Yao Ruoyu knocked on the table and said with a smile, "It will also be the responsibility of King Wen's mansion himself." ”

Seeing that Bai Qiuyu was silent, Yao Ruoyu smiled, looked around, and said lightly: "Since you have no objections, then this edict will be passed, and the household department will copy 100 copies of this edict and spread it to the whole city to show the people." ”

Bai Qiuyu smiled bitterly and sighed: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Touching his chin, Yao Ruoyu suddenly smiled and said, "In addition, since Minister Duan is the Lord of Sanjiang City, the post of Minister of Industry needs to be relieved, does Minister Duan have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

Duan Li arched his hand and said: "The minister recommended Duan Chun, the director of the construction department, this person has a calm temperament, does not leak a drop of water, and has worked diligently since taking office, and has never forgotten his official duties because of personal interests, so he can be the minister of the Ministry of Industry." ”

If it is a big country, such as the Song Dynasty, the position of the minister of industry is enough to cause controversy among the ministers, but after all, the scale of Wenbang is too small, and because of Yao Ruoyu's cronyism, there are not many forces in the court.

On the side of the literary and artistic army, Yao Ruoyu has no suitable candidate to take charge of the Ministry of Industry for the time being, so since he was recommended by his predecessor, Duan Chun naturally became the new Minister of Industry.

Looking at the civil and military affairs in the hall, Yao Ruoyu's eyes were both happy and worried.

Naturally, they are happy because they have only been through for more than a year, and they have laid such a foundation.

The worry is because with the continuous expansion of the city-state, sooner or later it will provoke the jealousy of the Song Dynasty.

When the city-state was established at the beginning of the year, on the one hand, it was because they were all in the Three Realms, and with the intervention of Chu Yangge, the imperial court recognized their independence.

Later, although Yao Ruoyu made out the system of two mansions and five departments, in the eyes of outsiders, they only had two cities, and this system was as ridiculous as a child's house, so the six departments of the Song Dynasty did not object to this at all.

But now, the literary army first defeated Yan Ye's army of 250,000 thieves, and then defeated the 8,000 elite soldiers of Guang'an City, its reputation is far from comparable to the past, as their reputation gradually becomes louder, I think the Song Dynasty will become more and more jealous of their existence.

And the reason why Yao Ruoyu put the two newly built acropolises and Hezhou City together towards the territory of the Jin Kingdom is also to show his heart to the Song Dynasty, look, I have put the capital of my vassal country close to Chongqing Mansion, if I have bad intentions, then you can send troops over at any time, I don't have time to resist at all.

However, this method could only dispel the Song Dynasty's fears for a short time, so the best way was to expand the city-state to the point that even the Song Dynasty was afraid of three points before the Song Dynasty's patience reached its limit.

Yao Ruoyu's gaze slowly fell on the outside of the hall, although the political hall was facing south, but his mind was already heading to the west, just west of the city-state, which was the only direction they could develop.

Sichuan!
