The imperial court retreated, and accepted Zuo Xiaoyou's surrender table, and named Zuo Xiaoyou as the king of Yizhou, and the commander-in-chief of Yizhou's military and political affairs.

Zuo Xiaoyou was very satisfied with this result, but Li Longji was angry with internal bleeding, if it weren't for the instability of the northern border, how could he easily spare Zuo Xiaoyou, but there was no way, compared to Yizhou, or the hidden danger of the northern border was more fatal.

Under the involvement of the three parties, Zuo Xiaoyou got the result he wanted, Li Longji also pushed the army to the northern border, and then after several years of border confrontation, the north gradually stabilized, but it also made Li Longji distrust the nomads in the north, and the situation that would have happened in history that he reused An Lushan did not happen, and gradually began to reuse the Han people and increase the control of the ethnic minorities in the north, which invisibly delayed the decline of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Zuo Xiaoyou doesn't care about this, the longer the Tang Dynasty confronts the northern nomads, the more space for him to develop, otherwise the early collapse of either side will be detrimental to him.

Since the imperial court withdrew from the army, Zuo Xiaoyou immediately began to do his best to develop the internal affairs of Yizhou. After a hundred years of long-term stability, the population of the Tang Dynasty has reached a peak of more than 60 million, and the total population of Yizhou is more than 4 million, and the characteristics of its basin are destined to become an independent kingdom as long as it holds the pass, and it is difficult to be attacked from the outside. In this way, Yizhou has its own humanistic characteristics, which are different from the Han people in the outside world.

How to say it! Yizhou people's attitude to life is more leisurely, and because the land is fertile, you can have a bumper harvest at will, so men are generally lazy, but women are very good at running a family, very hardworking, and even a lot of work in the field is done by women, which leads to the women of Yizhou in being gentle and virtuous, and they are a bit of a female man, which highlights the increasing incompetence of Yizhou men.

However, when Yizhou men encounter the situation of protecting their families and defending the country, they are still very gentlemanly, simply put, they usually enjoy life as an uncle, but when they are really in trouble, they can carry things on their shoulders and would rather die than give in.

How to say it! Kind of like a lion. In the lion pack, the female lion usually does things such as hunting, and the biggest task of the male lion is to eat enough and then mate. But don't really think that the male lion has no use except for mating, because the lion often does not have too much advantage when encountering the hyena, at this time the hyena will use the numerical advantage to threaten the female lion, and the female lion will be very passive because she does not have an absolute advantage, and it is easy to be robbed of food by the hyena.

And at this time, it is time for the lion to appear. Strong male lions will fight off hyena packs with a huge advantage in size and strength, thus defending their food and territory, as well as the safety of lionesses and cubs.

Male lions who fail to do this are also not entitled to a herd of lionesses, who often end up alone and dying.

The men in Yizhou are similar to the lions, they usually enjoy it very much, and they can carry things at critical moments. If he can't bear it, no woman is willing to marry him, so the men in Yizhou have gradually become lion-like men.

Good material to be a soldier by nature!

However, in addition to the 50,000 special forces he trained at the beginning, Zuo Xiaoyou only carried out a three-year military service policy according to his age. All juveniles who have reached the age of 15 are automatically enlisted in the army for three years of military service. After the three-year period expires, those with outstanding performance can stay in the army and become professional soldiers, while those with average performance can return to the local government and have their jobs arranged by the government. However, it is generally a job such as a servant and a fast catcher, although the income is not high, but it is better to have a stable job, have a formal establishment, and receive a monthly pension after retirement.

Of course, ambitious veterans will receive a 'three-year allowance' in one go, and then look for a job on their own, and as long as they do a good job, they will earn more than eating public meals.

Moreover, the military camp in Yizhou will receive modern military training, even if you don't want anything after leaving the army, you can eat locally with the style you have trained in the army.

In addition to this, the land owned by Yizhou was nationalized and then distributed according to the capitation, and the privatization of land was absolutely not allowed, because the privatized land would only gradually become annexed land, resulting in a decrease in arable land, which would lead to inequality in social classes. This has been proven over thousands of years, so although there was great resistance to nationalizing the land at the beginning, the policy was carried out after cutting off a bunch of heads, and over time, the good results became more and more apparent.

Of course, governing the country and the local government is not always a simple matter, and it needs to take into account all aspects. Healthcare, education, commerce, industry and agriculture, science and technology, and so on, all of which need to be developed.

Ten years of trees, 100 years of people. Zuo Xiaoyou has formulated a century-old plan for Yizhou, and will gradually adjust the policy with the evolution of Yizhou, so that the policy can keep up with the times at any time, so as not to pull the back of the times.

Of course, in order to allow talents to continue to emerge, Zuo Xiaoyou also founded Yizhou's invention and creation fund, as long as someone in the private sector puts forward a good idea and confirms that it is feasible, the government will provide funds to fully develop the project. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on whether the project leader and researchers work hard. However, with the passage of time, the success rate of up to seventy percent is still very satisfactory to Zuo Xiaoyou, and in this era, there are still not many people who cheat and drink in large numbers like modern times.

In this way, after 20 years of development and the efforts of a whole generation, Yizhou has undergone earth-shaking changes. First of all, in terms of population, it has broken through from more than 4 million to 10 million.

Thanks to the vigorous promotion of medicine, the birth of a child is no longer a general hurdle, the survival rate of young children has also been greatly improved, the previous situation of basically giving birth to two children will die one basically disappeared, now give birth to a hundred children, at most two or three, and these two or three are still caused by the malformation of the baby's development during pregnancy, it is destined not to survive, but all the children who can survive have basically survived, so that the population of Yizhou has exploded.

Of course, in addition to the improvement of medical care, there is also the improvement of food. Zuo Xiaoyou deliberately sent a large number of caravans to all over the world to find high-yield crops, and then high-yield crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were found in the tenth year when Zuo Xiaoyou became the king of Yizhou, so that Yizhou's grain production increased explosively, and the situation of starving to death would basically no longer occur.

What excites Yizhou people the most is the appearance of chili peppers, and with the introduction of chili peppers into Yizhou, all kinds of spicy hot pot have appeared on the tables of Yizhou people. The climatic characteristics of the Yizhou basin lead to the lack of light and humidity in Yizhou, and the people are easy to get sick.

Nowadays, Yizhou people eat hot pot almost every day, of course, because the economic foundation is still relatively weak, so they usually eat vegetarian hot pot, and only eat meat hot pot during the New Year's holidays. Of course, large families with rich money can eat meat at once. With the increasing development of Yizhou's business, the income of ordinary people has increased year by year, coupled with the large number of livestock breeding such as chickens, ducks and geese, resulting in stable meat prices year after year.

With the development of Yizhou's business, more and more people from other places come to Yizhou to beg for a living, in this regard, the people of Yizhou still welcome, because the people of Yizhou have houses and land distributed by the government, but because Yizhou people are lazy, so they don't like farming.

Well, it's a bit like the rice worm clan in the big city of later generations.

In short, the life of the people of Yizhou has been getting better and better after 20 years of development. After 20 years of compulsory education, Yizhou School has cultivated a large number of educated talents, and these literate people who learn well will enter higher fields such as scientific research and education, and those who study generally will also find good jobs. But those who don't learn well, but have flexible brains, choose to go to the sea to do business, and now there are a lot of rich people in Yizhou who are those poor students who didn't study well back then.

As for those who are poor in learning and have bad brains, they can only live in their own fields. With high-yielding food crops, at least they will not starve, and these people can choose to rent out their houses and fields and live on rent......

In short, with the emergence of a large number of talents, the development of Yizhou is also getting faster and faster year by year, basically maintaining double-digit economic growth every year, and even a three-digit growth miracle at the beginning.

However, that is also because Yizhou's economic foundation was too weak at the beginning, and later as time went by, Yizhou's basic economy gradually became stronger, and it was able to maintain double-digit economic growth every year.

The only thing that makes Zuo Xiaoyou helpless is that there are too many mountains in Yizhou, transportation is difficult, and most of the finance in the past 20 years has been put into infrastructure construction, but there has not been much success in 20 years, mainly because the industry has not yet developed. Although there is a steam engine at present, the development of industry is not something that can be achieved in just 20 years, but the good news is that the current steelmaking industry has basically developed, and the railway is also being built.

Just when Zuo Xiaoyou vigorously developed Yizhou for 20 years, there was chaos in the north of the Tang Dynasty after all, and the living habits of those nomads were different from those of the Central Plains after all, and they envied the lifestyle of the Central Plains people, but they could not get it themselves, which made them envious and jealous.

If the Tang Dynasty could maintain its military strength, it would also be able to suppress them, but with the loss of 600,000 troops in Yizhou twenty years ago, and the slow recovery in the following twenty years, the northern nomads became more and more unable to suppress their ambitions, and Li Longji increased his control over them, so that their lives not only did not improve, but showed signs of regression, and they did not do anything.

So in this year, the northern nomads launched a war against the Tang Dynasty, and after more than 100 years of glory, the Tang Dynasty once again fell into the quagmire of war. In this way, the equilibrium was broken, and Zuo Xiaoyou, who had been sitting in Yizhou, keenly smelled the smell of opportunity, and all kinds of information were constantly coming and going in Yizhou, and the form of the world was gradually taking shape in Zuo Xiaoright's brain.

Perhaps the more than 100 years of comfortable life in the Tang Dynasty did break the will of the Tang army, and after a year of fighting, the northern nomads actually beat the Tang border guards out of breath. Fortunately, there were a large number of wise and brave generals in the Tang army, and under their command and operation, although the nomads temporarily gained the upper hand, the Tang army would not be defeated for a while. And as time went on, autumn passed, winter came, and the nomads could no longer bear the pain of war, so they chose to stop fighting.

And at this time, the Don army began a counterattack.

20,000 Tang troops entered Mobei in the wind and snow and launched a bloody massacre against the nomads in the east!

After three months, only 3,000 of the 20,000 Tang troops returned, while the nomads lost more than 300,000 people. In this way, the nomads finally thought of the fear of being dominated by the Tang army, and immediately offered their surrender table, expressing their willingness to submit to the Tang Dynasty. And Li Longji received the table, happily drank for three days in a row, and then couldn't sleep.

"The emperor has died!"

This faint monarch who swept Zuo Xiaoyou into the ranks of the demon path just because he saw a portrait of Yang Yuhuan back then, after all, after persisting for more than 20 years, he controlled the dragon Bintian.

The joy of Datang's just victory was also discounted because of this, and the red and white things were done together.

Hearing the news of Li Longji's death, Zuo Xiaoyou didn't feel very happy, but had a strange feeling: I haven't used my strength yet, why did you die?

In comparison, Yang Yuhuan was very happy: "Husband, that person is finally dead, and we don't have to hide in Tibet in the future." ”

Looking at Yang Yuhuan's face that had not changed for twenty years, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "It's still early." ”

Yang Yuhuan was puzzled: "What does the husband mean?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou felt the imperial dragon qi accumulated in the past twenty years, and muttered, "The way of the husband...... I'm not done yet! ”

……

Although Li Longji died, because the border troubles in the north were lifted, the situation in the world was stabilized again. The opportunity that Zuo Xiaoyou smelled disappeared because of this, and he could only blame the Tang Dynasty for not having enough energy, so he didn't think much about it and developed Yizhou with peace of mind.

However, it is not the way to always develop without tempering the army's actual combat ability. If the army has no combat effectiveness, how can it protect the family and the people? Therefore, Zuo Xiaoyou wants to start a war and exercise the actual combat ability of the Yizhou Army.

Datang must not be able to move, after all, he can't hit his compatriots for no reason, so Zuo Xiaoyou spread out the map, and finally set his eyes on Tubo, which is adjacent to him.
