The matter in Hongzhou has come to an end, and Li Hao did not miss this time, so he quietly left the next day and embarked on the road back to Chang'an.

He came suddenly, and when he first arrived, he taught the officials who did not care about the lives of the people a harsh lesson. It was so quiet when he left, no one knew when he left, and the people of Huixian who had received his favor didn't even have time to say thank you. Only a god-like legend was left above Hongzhou.

When people found out that the Assassin's Mansion had been emptied, they could only secretly sigh that this king of Zhen'an did not seek fame and fortune and did not ask for anything in return.

It's just that when everyone didn't notice it, the big and small officials in Hongzhou quietly changed.

Officials such as Yu Fang and others were quickly impeached and investigated. And Liu Mao, who was dedicated to asking for the people's life, was greatly praised and made steady progress.

On this day, Liu Mao looked in the direction of Chang'an from afar, and beside him were the cadres of Lijiazhuang who stayed in Hongzhou to maintain the follow-up matters.

"Lord Liu Mao, when the owner left, he left you a sentence: the people of Hongzhou will be handed over to you, when you call Hongzhou a happy land, he will personally come back to pour wine for you to celebrate!"

Liu Mao's eyes were firm and he nodded vigorously.

On Li Hao's side, this time there is no need to worry, the Li Jiazhuang team traveled all the way, and it took a full fifteen days to finally return to the familiar city of Chang'an.

Now Li Hao's name can no longer be described as thunderous in Datang, and what he did in Hongzhou, under the secret promotion of Li Shimin, has spread throughout Datang. The people love and respect Li Hao even more, and even the Manchu civil and military forces above the court have changed a lot of views of Li Hao.

In addition, the five surnames and Qiwang have already existed in name only, and Li Hao's prestige is in full swing, and no one dares to say that he is not.

When Li Hao returned, Chang'an City was boiling, and the people spontaneously pulled up banners and organized a lion dance team to welcome the return of King Zhen'an.

Above the court, Li Shimin led the Manchu Dynasty to wait for each other.

The moment Li Hao walked into the court with the people of Lijiazhuang, who had made great contributions during the flood control, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed to them and shouted: "Supply the prince of Zhen'an!" ”

Li Shimin was full of laughter, personally stepped down from the dragon chair, and walked quickly to Li Hao. At this moment, he is extremely happy, firstly, because the flood in Hongzhou has been solved, and the people live and work in peace and contentment; Second, Li Hao finally won the trust of the important ministers of the DPRK and China, and from now on, no one will question Li Hao, and the advanced technology and ideas he brought can be implemented more smoothly in Datang!

"King Zhen'an, welcome back! The trip to Hongzhou was hard! Li Shimin came to Li Hao and took his hand very kindly.

Li Hao smiled slightly: "Thank you to the Holy Lord, it is not as good as the mission below, the floods in Hongzhou have been eliminated, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a peaceful and prosperous world, now I want Your Majesty to submit the decree!" ”

As soon as Li Hao's voice fell, he immediately remembered the prompt sound of the system in his ears.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host Li Hao for completing the task of flood control. Final Rating: Perfect. Rewards are distributed immediately. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host Li Hao, who has received the mission reward: Art of War Strategy. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host Li Hao, who received the task reward: sweat and blood horse breed. ”

"Ding! Congratulations to the host Li Hao, who received the mission reward: Army Training Outline. ”

Three rewards in a row really made Li Hao look stupid. In the past, the system rewards were quite picky, and there was only one reward for completing a task, but I didn't expect that this time it was just a flood treatment, and three rewards were directly given. Weapons, and each of them is something that Li Hao urgently needs.

In the past year, Li Hao has made so many contributions to Datang, in order to make Lijiazhuang truly known as the country within a country of Datang. Although Li Shimin is a famous monarch through the ages, he is still an emperor after all. If he didn't make a little contribution, how could an emperor allow an excesses to appear on his territory that he didn't manage?

The reason why Li Shimin has allowed Li Jiazhuang to exist until now is that Li Hao's value far exceeds his expectations. Between destruction and exploitation, Li Shimin chose to exploit.

Second, compared with the five surnames and seven hopes, Li Jiazhuang's threat to Datang is not worth mentioning at all. Li Hao did his best to help Li Shimin solve the problem of five surnames and seven hopes, and he would naturally treat Li Jiazhuang well.

But this generosity is still based on an emperor's gift to his subordinates, which is not what Li Hao wants.

Now that the five surnames and seven hopes exist in name only, it is not boasting, Li Hao has enough self-confidence, as long as he wants, within half a year, he can completely eradicate the five surnames and seven hopes, so that they can truly submit to Li Shimin.

But if it really comes to this point, the common enemy of Datang and Li Jiazhuang disappears, can the current friendship between the two be maintained?

Li Hao didn't dare to guarantee it, not because he didn't believe in Li Shimin's character, but because of empathy, if Li Hao was a Tang Dynasty land-changer, he would never allow a force with more potential than the five surnames and seven hopes to thrive.

Even if you take a step back, Li Shimin really trusts Li Hao and doesn't care that Lijiazhuang is called a real country. But there is an end to human life, what about after Li Shimin's death, and after others succeed to the Tang Emperor? Can you still get along with Li Hao?

Lijiazhuang is Li Hao's home in this era, after so many years of thinking, many people in the village have become Li Hao's family, and there are too many things here that need to be guarded by Li Hao. There can be no sloppiness in this matter.

For Lijiazhuang to prosper, it is necessary to turn the country within a country into a real empire. With the current land area of Lijiazhuang, it is simply not enough to support the operation of an empire. If you want to be truly independent, you must expand your territory.

And Li Hao is a native of China, and he admires the splendid civilization of China for 5,000 years, especially the brilliant history of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is impossible for him to attack Datang, even if he wants to expand his territory, he can only target the surrounding countries.

If you want to expand your territory, you must have an army, and Li Hao is not a natural general, so this reward is simply tailor-made for him.

Looking at the reward items in the system's backpack, Li Hao only felt full of energy.

Now that everything is ready, there is only one opportunity missing. After planning for many years, it is almost a kick in the door, as long as this bottleneck is passed, Lijiazhuang will completely soar into the sky!

Of course, everything Li Hao thinks has no way for others to know.

The commendation ceremony is still ongoing.

Li Shimin personally invited the heroes of this disaster relief into the main hall and rewarded them one by one.

Sun Simiao was named the secretary of the Tai Hospital, and enjoyed the same powers as the decree of the Datang Tai Hospital.

Black Egg was named the Governor of CRRC Qianniu Guard, and he was the same official as the Imperial Forest Qianniu Guard.

The engineer who rushed to build the bridge was named the secretary of the imperial palace and enjoyed the power and treatment of an official of the Tang Imperial Manufacturing Department.

This time, Li Shimin can be regarded as giving Li Jiazhuang enough face, and the gifts given to Li Jiazhuang are all famous and powerful, but they don't need to stay in the palace.

After all, these people are Li Hao's right and left hands, and if they are left in the palace, they may cause criticism from the outside world, and even make Li Hao unhappy.

An hour later, everyone was rewarded, and Lijiazhuang's influence in Datang reached a higher level.

finally came to the finale - Li Hao.

Li Hao is now the emperor's royal gift to the prince of Zhen'an, and everyone wants to know what kind of generous reward Li Hao, who calmed down the floods, can get.
