The city of Nanjing was calm, the king of the southern courtyard returned to Nanjing and blocked the siege of the Jin soldiers, the people were much more down-to-earth, the city was restored to peace, and there was no depression in the market, the city gate was opened to deliver food, water, and fish sellers shuttled constantly, and a large number of people who had taken refuge in Nanjing because of the war gradually left.

Emperor Tianzuo sent a decree to Xiao Ming in Yingzhou, asking him to return to King Qin, the news was transferred to Xiao Ming's hands by Yang Qizhong from Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, Xiao Ming ignored it, if he really wanted to go to King Qin, he had to earn from Nanjing to Western Xia, Xiao Ming didn't want to be so troublesome.

In fact, Xiao Ming has no hope for Emperor Tianzuo, if God is about to destroy the Liao State, then he can't stop it by himself, it is better to let it be, the national fortune of the Liao State ends here, then he can develop and grow in Nanjing, as a barrier between the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty.

Xiao Ming felt that now running Nanjing well is the most important thing, among the five capitals of Liao, Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Xijing have fallen into the hands of the enemy, only Nanjing and Tokyo are in their own hands, and in order to enter, the entire Northeast region is their own nest, even if he lays a large area of land to the east, but there are not so many people to occupy it, and it is basically deserted.

The Jurchen people are now like an insatiable snake, and now he has swallowed the big stupid cow of the Liao State in one gulp, how to digest it is really a problem, after all, their population is too small, and all the tribes of the entire Shengnuzhen are only hundreds of thousands of people, and there are many people who live in the remote area north of the Five Kingdoms City.

Therefore, the method adopted by the Jin State is to occupy the road on the road, and then abandon the road, in the original Liaodong and other places due to the complexity of the ethnic group, they adopted the Huairou policy or has been effective, many surrendered Liao, Xi, Bohai, Han people have been well settled, and life and property have been preserved.

Even many of the original local officials were retained, and the digestion of the occupied territories was basically completed, so much so that after Kim Taejong ascended the throne, they began their own control, which was the famous Meng'an Mooke system.

The Jin State basically rose directly from the tribal civilization, and they relied on their own militarized tribal model, so Meng'an Mook, as a paramilitary organization, played a decisive role.

Meng'an can be used as a military envoy, equivalent to the road army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the military commander is placed above Meng'an, and there are 10,000 households above the military marshal, and there is a capital system above 10,000 households; Mouke set up Pu Yuan (a Pu Liyan or Foning, Jurchen language, 50 households meaning).

As a local administrative unit, Meng'an is equivalent to a defensive state, which is higher than that of Thorn State; Mouke is equivalent to the county, but the status is higher than the county, because the general county order is from the seventh grade, the red county order is from the sixth grade, and the Mouke is from the fifth grade, and the history of the thorns is the same level as the history of the thorns; As an official position and title, Meng'an and Mouke can be hereditary, or brother to brother, or father to son, or even when their father is out of office or in another position.

Meng'an's responsibilities were only to train soldiers and command operations, and later in peacetime, Meng'an was also responsible for "persuading farmers and mulberries to be taught and defending"; Mou Ke is in charge of the military households, "but regardless of the regular liquidation, the rest of the county order". It can be seen that Meng'an Mouke is responsible for leading troops to fight wars, taking charge of production, collecting taxes and other functions.

Meng'an Mouke households have the right to get a share of the land from the state, which is cultivated by their own family members, which is the so-called bull head land; It is obliged to pay the State a certain amount of military service, conscription, and taxes. The distribution and taxation of cattle head land were originally stipulated as follows: one cow for every three heads, the limit is 25 to receive 4 acres of land, 4 acres of land is strange, the annual loss of millet is only one stone, and the government and the people occupy no more than 40 fields.

Jin Tianhui five years and "Zhao inland roads", each cattle only endowed with 5 buckets, after which it is customized. That is to say, a Meng'an household can have up to 120 head of cattle, 1,000 people and slaves, and 176 hectares of land; The tax is extremely meager, but the obligation of military service is extremely onerous, and young and middle-aged people are not only subject to conquest in wartime, but also in peacetime "every year to make up for the death of old age, sickness, and death."

After the establishment of the feudal regime in the Dajin Kingdom, it has been using this set of Meng'an Mouke system, the advantage of this system is that all the people are soldiers, and there will be a large number of soldiers immediately after the mobilization order in wartime, but after the war is reduced, the Moukehu relies on the land and slaves seized during the war to live a parasite-like life, and gradually declines.

This whole set of militarized organizations of the Jin State, which is mixed with the feudal system, is destined to be an organization that constantly fights and invades, and once there is no war, they themselves will be consumed to death by themselves! Later, the Jin State was destroyed by the Mongols, which confirmed this truth, he was actually the same as the Liao State, a relatively backward nomadic and fishing and hunting people, could not afford a feudal king with a large population.

It was at this time that Xiao Ming began to pay attention to the power of culture, but the development of culture is based on a strong level of productivity, and in Liaodi, where the overall level of productivity is still relatively backward, there are not many cultural people, but fortunately, Confucianism is developed in Nanjing, and the proportion of scholars among the Han people is very high.

In fact, there are not no smart and benevolent people among the Liao people, such as the Taoist Emperor Yelu Hongji is a smart person, he understands the role of culture in the ruling of the country, but the Khitan people are still vulgar after all, and it is difficult to popularize culture on a large scale, but there is one best way, that is, religion, through religion is the best way to popularize culture, which is also the main reason why Buddhism in Liao is very developed.

Xiao Ming also started from Buddhism to carry out cultural popularization, first of all, he sorted out various famous monasteries and Buddhist holy places in Nanjing, such as Yunju Temple in Fangshan, Dahaotian Temple in Nanjing, Xianlu Temple, Yuanfu Temple, Guiwen Temple provided incense money and land, and repaired the Thousand Buddha Pagoda in Xishan of Yandu, sorted out Buddhist scriptures, engraved Buddhist classics, etc.

At that time, there was a bad custom in vogue, some very devout Buddhist monks and nuns, would set their fingers on fire to make offerings to the Buddha, becoming burning fingers to offer to the Buddha, resulting in a lot of monks and nuns disabled, unable to engage in work and life, this custom was strictly forbidden by Xiao Ming, all monks and nuns must work when they own land, support themselves, not because of the offering and cause local believers to do their own food, in order to solve the food problem of the people, which also reduced the pressure on the government.

However, he spent money on the renovation of the monastery and the publication of Buddhist scriptures, but it was very supported by the monks, and the temple property and land were preserved, and there was also a new land, and the monastery could find many poor peasants to cultivate, and also solved their food and living problems.

Xiao Ming even negotiated with Wu Yong to open an official school in the name of the government to support those poor students to study, in addition to free education and a subsidy of two meals a day, these money can still be obtained, and he even wants to resume the imperial examination in Nanjing, but it is just because the war has not been settled.

The implementation of Xiao Ming's series of policies made his personal prestige extremely high, and some people were jealous, so the news that Xiao Ming had secretly returned to Nanjing was told to Emperor Tianzuo, which made Emperor Tianzuo very annoyed and thought that Xiao Ming was deliberately snubbing him.

Time has entered the New Year's Day of 1125 AD, at this time it is also called Shangyuan Festival, this is Xiao Ming's third Shangyuan Festival in Liao, the first Shangyuan Festival, Xiao Ming is still in the tribe of Wuhuai, with the herdsmen to feed the sheep, with the hunters hunting, now the third Shangyuan Festival, but he is standing alone on the city tower thinking about the people in the distance.

He misses Su Cai'er and Shen Bei'er's two daughters, although they often use flying kite communication, but he has been in the Liao Empire for three months, and he doesn't know if he can fulfill his promise of five months at most.

He also thought of Ami, he always felt sorry for Ami, I don't know what kind of mood he would be in the face of Emperor Tianzuo, who was getting worse and worse in Yingzhou, far away!

After entering the winter, there were several snowfalls in Nanjing, Xiao Ming used the excuse of enjoying the snow, climbed the city tower alone, looked at the white and vast white in the distance, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly there was a "cluck...... behind him! "The sound of teeth colliding.

Xiao Ming turned his head and found that Bing'er was standing behind him, shivering from the cold, Xiao Ming was apologetic, and hurriedly took off his wool coat and put it on her, complaining to her: "Didn't you come with me?" You're just disobedient! ”

"I'm afraid that Gongzi is lonely, and it will be inconvenient to make people uncomfortable" Bing'er said in a trembling voice, now Bing'er is very much like a little girl, she seems to have forgotten her original identity, and just followed Xiao Ming wholeheartedly, she feels that only this man in this world can bring her safety .......

Xiao Ming hugged her down the city wall, Gu Xiaoliu was waiting for him by the carriage under the city, and when he saw them coming down, he stomped his feet and said, "You can count it down, the Privy Council seems to have a secret decree delivered, and they are waiting in front" rubbed his hands and said: "It's really cold today!" ”

Xiao Ming asked Gu Xiaoliu to help Bing'er into the carriage, there was a charcoal fire burning in the carriage, the two of them could avoid the cold, he himself went to see the person who sent the decree to the Privy Council, Xiao Ming came back after a long time, his face was very ugly, and after being silent for a while, he said to Gu Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, today is Shangyuan Festival, I want to drink, can you all accompany me?" ”

Gu Xiaoliu said: "Okay, as long as you are happy, Bing'er and I will accompany you."

The carriage drove all the way back to the palace of the Southern Courtyard...... Xiao Ming drank a lot of wine that night, and finally he fell asleep on Bing'er's lap, not because he was drunk, but because he was too tired!

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming gathered all the officials of the entire Liunan Mansion, first a red envelope of silver for each person, and after everyone congratulated each other on the New Year, Xiao Ming took out the latest secret decree and raised it to everyone.

"The emperor has a will, I will inform you, but there are two things, the first thing, the emperor heard that I, Xiao Ming, am really Han, depriving me of the power of the king of the Southern Court and the privy envoy, and ordering the privy deputy envoy Xiao Gan to quickly arrest me for questioning!"

As soon as Xiao Ming's words fell, everyone below "Boom will blow up the camp!" They all asked what the hell was going on? Xiao Ming pressed his hands together, and after everyone calmed down, he announced the second thing.

"The second thing, I'm very sad, the emperor ordered the death of the king of Jin, Yelu Aolu, and let the Privy Council of the Southern Yuan arrest the ...... of the king of Jin!"

This news is more like a bomb, which directly makes today's lobby a mess! Suddenly, someone pounced on the ground and cried loudly, "It's over! The Great Liao Kingdom is finished......! ”
