Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and Yang Erya was also very happy. Li Mubai continued: "Secondly, in terms of agriculture, the cultivated land that was originally abandoned has now been basically restored, and the newly cultivated land of government farms and private households has exceeded 200,000 hectares, and this year's wind and rain are good and the sunshine is sufficient, it will definitely be a bumper harvest year!" He breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed his saliva, and said: "In addition, mineral exploitation, fishery development and animal husbandry have also made great progress, and now there are more than 50,000 horses raised in the government-run horse farm in Shanxi, some of which are improved Yanwang horses, and the official fishing grounds alone have produced 200,000 catties of fish in three months, and all minerals have produced more than 100,000 catties, 800,000 catties of silver ore, 2.5 million catties of copper ore, and 6.8 million catties of iron ore. ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Okay, these numbers are happy to hear." I came all the way from the northwest, and what I saw and heard was also very gratifying! Then he frowned, "It's just that one thing is not very good, I always feel that whether it is a city or a town, the population still seems to be not as good as before!" ”

Li Mubai nodded, "That's true." The subordinates just reported a good situation, and the first bad situation is the population problem! After a pause, "There is still a big gap between today's population and the Khitan people when they went south, which directly leads to the shortage of manpower in many aspects, such as land reclamation, if there are enough manpower, at least 300,000 hectares of grain fields can be reclaimed, but now only 200,000 hectares have been reclaimed, and the lack of manpower in all walks of life also exists to varying degrees, which hinders the increase of taxes!" ”

After a pause, he added: "This is a demographic problem, and another big problem is the huge damage caused by the chaotic military disasters of more than two years!" The damage in this state is relatively small, but the damage in many aspects is already quite shocking, and other places can be imagined, some towns have been reduced to ruins when the Khitans went south. The destruction of city walls and houses is secondary, the most serious is similar to the destruction of canals and embankments, and the disastrous impact will be long-term. ”

Li Mubai gushed endlessly, Yang Peng supported his chin with his right hand and listened carefully, raised his head and said: "What you said is indeed a realistic and urgent problem, in fact, it is not only your Shanxi, Shandong, and Huai provinces that exist to varying degrees, but the situation in the newly recovered Shaanxi and Gansu regions is even more serious. You continue. ”

"Yes." Li Mubai sorted out his thoughts and continued: "And to ask for restoration and construction, a lot of money is needed! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "This sentence is the problem of the idea!" Funds, hey, this has been spending more money than running water in recent times! The money captured by defeating the enemy is all spent in the blink of an eye! Li Mubai said: "That's still far from enough!" The subordinates believe that agriculture is the foundation of stability, and now that we Yanyun has recovered Shaanxi and Gansu, the Khitans are entangled in Goryeo and cannot get out, and the Western Xia and Tubo have all lost their hearts, and the imperial court should not be afraid, so we should put aside the conquest for the time being, and concentrate on solving the problem of agriculture-related facilities. This year, we have more than half a year to basically restore all agricultural facilities at the beginning of spring next year. ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This suggestion of yours is very good. In this way, this year, no, all the taxes in various places in the past two years will be used for infrastructure construction in various places, and for Shaanxi and Gansu and other places that have just been recovered, Yanwangfu will also come up with extra money to help them! Just recently, the chief officials from all over the country will come to Yanyun and talk about specific matters when the time comes. "Yan Wang is wise!" Li Mubai hugged his fists.

Yang Peng looked at Li Mubai with a strange expression, Li Mubai was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to ask.

Yang Peng stood up and walked in front of Li Mubai. Li Mubai hurriedly bowed down. Yang Peng patted Li Mubai on the shoulder and said, "It's better to be casual in private, is this a formal occasion!" Li Mubai responded: "Yes!" Although he responded like this, he still looked respectful and cautious. Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally, and suddenly felt a little worried that one day in the future, the people around him would treat him like this, wouldn't it be too lonely and boring? Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly sighed: No wonder the ancient emperors called themselves widows, if this development continues, Lao Tzu will become a widow one day!

suddenly remembered the matter of Princess Gesang, so he asked, "How did you arrange for Princess Gesang?" ”

Li Mubai clenched his fists and said: "According to King Yan's instructions, my subordinates arranged for them to live in a courtyard, which was originally a mansion of Xuanwei envoys. All supplies were in accordance with the treatment of the princesses, and their movements were only restricted from leaving the city, and nothing else was restricted. In addition, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the subordinates also sent special personnel to monitor them. ”

Yang Peng remembered the two suspicious characters he had seen at the time of the incident just now, and he was relieved. Secretly felt funny, he actually thought it was a guy who coveted beauty and did the, and after a long time, it turned out that he had misunderstood. He lowered his head and thought about it, and asked Li Mubai, "Didn't you send someone to protect them?" Li Mubai shook his head, "That's not true." "From now on, send someone to protect them and ensure their safety." "Yes!"

Yang Peng thought of those lawless splashes, frowned and said, "The splashes in the city should be cleaned up regularly. Although these guys are just fleas, the impact is not good, and they must not be tolerated! ”

Li Mubai faintly felt that something seemed to have happened, which made King Yan feel dissatisfied with some of the situation in Bingzhou, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, and hugged his fists and said: "Subordinates follow King Yan's orders!" In fact, the subordinates did not condone these splashes, but the splashes are really difficult to deal with, although these people often bully the people and disturb the place, but in the final analysis, what they do is not a big deal, even if they are arrested, they can only be locked up for a few days before they have to be released, and these people have long been accustomed to being in prison and do not take it seriously at all, so the effect of dealing with it is very limited! ”

Yang Peng felt that what Li Mubai said was really difficult to deal with in this matter, and the people hated and feared it very much, but legally speaking, it was indeed impossible to severely punish them. Although one sentence can make these splashes a lifetime in prison, Yang Peng is not far from doing this, and he feels that he should still start to solve it from the law.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he sounded that society has a punishment for repeat offenders with increasing punishments. The so-called incremental punishment, in short, means that for the same crime, the punishment is continuously increased according to the number of offenses, such as hitting someone without reason, the first time may be locked up for five days, the second time will be increased to one month in prison, the third time will be increased to one year, and so on, with the increase in the number of recidivism, the original small crime may later become a serious crime, this practice should be regarded as a more effective solution.

Thinking of this, Yang Peng said his thoughts. Li Mubai and Yang Erya both felt very novel, and Li Mubai pondered: "Yan Wang's method takes into account all aspects of the situation, and it should be feasible!" ”

Yang Peng said: "You make a special implementation rules for me, and when everyone comes, discuss and discuss it, and then put it into practice." "Yes!"

That night, the lights in the study room of the palace were still on, and Yang Peng was still handling official business under the lights. Although there are people to do specific things, many things have to be decided by him, the king of Yan, in addition to a variety of reports, reports on all aspects of the national economy and people's livelihood, as well as the dynamics and intelligence of neighboring countries. These many things, and because of the accumulation of a lot of previous battles, Yang Peng can't be lazy even if he wants to.

Yang Peng picked up a report handed by Wuxing from Goryeo and read it, Wuxing's report mainly talked about the war in Goryeo: the battle of Kaijing, which had been stalemate for several months, finally ended, and the Liao Goryeo coalition led by Yeyu Guanyin once again defeated the Japanese people, and nearly half of the losses of the Japanese people had retreated to Nanjing (Goryeo Nanjing is now Seoul in South Korea, the Japanese are strengthening the city wall in Nanjing to stock up grain and grass, and all the surrounding Goryeo people have been driven into Nanjing, the intention is unknown, there have been secret guards mixed into Nanjing, and there is no news for the time being; In accordance with the orders of King Yan, our naval division attacked the enemy's sea lanes, annihilated a Japanese fleet and a Japanese transport fleet in one fell swoop, destroyed countless ships, killed more than 100,000 Japanese people, and destroyed countless materials.

After reading Wu Xing's report, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.

At about the same time, Ya Yu Guanyin was urging the three-way army to go south, and still formed a general situation of Mount Tai overwhelming Nanjing, where the main force of the Japanese people was entrenched, and the Khitan soldiers were all ready to completely wipe out the Japanese people in a battle.

Ya Yu Guanyin arranged the task in the big tent, and the generals bowed to Ye Yu Guanyin and rushed out. At this moment, Wu Xing ran into the big tent, and when he saw Ye Yu Guanyin, he hugged his fists with a happy face and said, "Princess, I have good news for you!" ”

Ya Yin Guanyin glanced at Wu Xing, "What good news?" Wu Xing smiled and handed a letter to Ya Yu Guanyin. Ya Yu Guanyin took the letter, opened it and took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his originally calm face, "The Yanyun Navy has severely damaged the Japanese fleet and cut off the support of the Japanese people?!" ”

Wu Xing smiled and asked, "Does the princess think this is good news!" "I read the letter.

Yang Erya frowned tightly, looking like she was in a dilemma. Seeing this, Yang Peng couldn't help but wonder what exactly was said in the letter, so he asked, "What did Princess Gesang say?" Hehe, I think it must be to express her affection to you, right? ”

Yang Erya said distressedly: "People are annoyed to death, you still come to make fun of others!" "What bothers you so much?" Yang Erya handed the letter to Yang Peng. Yang Peng waved his hand and smiled: "This is her love letter to you, how can I read it!" Yang Peng said angrily: "If you want to see it, you can watch it!" Then he stuffed the letter into Yang Peng's hand. Yang Peng picked up the letter and read it, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the beginning, because the words and sentences were completely a woman pouring out her love to her beloved man, although it was only a few lines of words, but the deep affection of the sea of dry stones seemed to jump on the paper, Yang Peng was originally sighing, but when she thought that the object of her love was a woman who was more beautiful than her, she couldn't help laughing.

Yang Erya saw Yang Peng laughing, and said with a red face: "If you want to laugh, laugh, hum!" If you treat me badly one day, I'll really follow her! Yang Peng teased: "How should you two have children together?" Yang Erya glared at Yang Peng infinitely in shame.

Yang Peng continued to watch, and after expressing her love, the princess Gesang made an invitation to the hero in her heart, saying that tomorrow was a festival for them, and she hoped that General Yang could come to her and spend the festival with her!

Yang Peng put down the letter and asked Yang Erya: "How did you decide?" Yang Erya said distressedly: "I just don't know what to do!" Looking at Yang Peng, he poked Yang Peng's waist with his finger, "You can find a way for me!" Yang Peng held Yang Erya's slender hand, hugged her slender waist and sat down, "You, it's too complicated to think about this simple thing!" She invites you to the banquet, and you will go to the banquet, so why think so much! You wear this women's dress to the banquet, as soon as he sees you like this, everything will be understood, you don't have to say much, just say a few polite words to her and come back! ”

Yang Erya blinked her big clear eyes and said, "It's that simple? Yang Erya smiled: "It's not complicated!" Yang Erya turned her head and grabbed Yang Peng's arm, and begged, "Then big brother, you go with me!" Yang Peng smiled and teased: "Our Yanyun's General Yang Erya is actually afraid of that Tubo princess, I'm afraid that no one will believe it!" Yang Erya frowned and said, "I'm not afraid of her, I am, I'm ......" She couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Yang Erya patted her buttocks lightly and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what you think, big brother will accompany you tomorrow!" Yang Erya smiled, "Big brother, you are so good!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "It's not easy to be your eldest brother, I actually have to help you solve those women who are fascinated by you!" ”

Yang Erya wrinkled her good-looking nose at Yang Peng, looking coquettish, as cute as she wanted. Yang Peng couldn't help but kiss her red lips, Yang Erya's eyes immediately became blurred, her delicate face was red and gorgeous, and a pair of slender hands couldn't help but hook Yang Peng's neck, letting Ai Lang taste her red lips, she herself was also deeply trapped in the sea of lust and couldn't extricate herself.

Footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and Yang Erya, who was intoxicated with ****, came back to her senses and hurriedly left Yang Peng's arms. As soon as he stood up, he saw the captain of the secret guard, Wang Kai, running in at a trot, and presenting a letter in a red envelope, "Master, the red urgent mail forwarded from Yanjing!" "The so-called red urgency is a level of information transmitted within Yanyun, all messages are divided into ordinary, blue, yellow and red according to the degree of urgency and the size of the impact from low to high.

Yang Peng and Yang Erya were very surprised when they saw that it was a red urgency. Yang Erya stepped forward to take the urgent mail and handed it over to Yang Peng. At this time, Wang Kai noticed Yang Erya, who was dressed up in palace costumes, and couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses. Feeling rude, he hurriedly lowered his head and heard his heart pounding.

Yang Peng opened the letter, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed, "How could such a thing happen?" Yang Erya asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Yang Peng frowned and said, "The Emperor of Liao suddenly died!" Yang Erya was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said: "In less than three years, three emperors of the Liao Kingdom have actually died!?" ”

Yang Peng said: "If there is no ghost in this, I'm afraid that fools won't believe it!" Yang Peng couldn't help but think of the Empress Dowager of Goryeo and Brother Ye Hugh, could it be that they made it up again this time? Then I thought of another piece of information mentioned in the letter, although the emperor of the Liao State had died, in fact, almost no one in the country knew about it, and the Liao court kept the news tightly sealed, and Yan Yun also learned about this information by chance, but the secret agents sent in Zhongjing could not confirm the correctness of this news.

Yang Peng lowered his head and thought: If this news is wrong, the Emperor of Liao is still there, but this news will never be groundless, so what is the purpose of the rumors? If it is true, who exactly planned the conspiracy, and what is the purpose? The purpose of killing the monarch should be very simple, that is, to seize the throne! So who is it?

Yang Peng's first thought was Brother Ye Hu and the Empress Dowager of Goryeo, but Yang Peng was not sure that there were many people in the Liao State who held great power and were qualified to inherit the throne.

A worry suddenly rose in Yang Peng's heart, worried that the Khitans' war against the Japanese would be affected by the domestic situation.

Yang Peng's fears were actually fulfilled at the same time, and in the camp of Ya Yu Guanyin in Goryeo, Ye Yu Guanyin received an urgent edict from Zhongjing, ordering her to withdraw immediately. Confused, Yahu Guanyin and his generals asked Qincha, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly order the troops to retreat?" ”

Na Qin said: "The villain's affairs are ordered to be ordered, and the rest is unknown." Princess, since Your Majesty's order has been issued, please ask the king to withdraw his troops quickly! Ya Yu Guanyin hesitated, shook his head, and said, "No, I can't retreat!" Qin Cha was taken aback, "The princess wants to disobey?" Ye Yu Guanyin frowned, and Xiao Bao, the fierce general next to him, shouted: "Bold! You little chamberlain dare to speak to the princess like this! ”

Seeing that the generals were glaring angrily, they were all frightened to death, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain has no intention of offending the king!" The villain will never dare! Ya Yu Guanyin said lightly: "It doesn't matter if it's not." I did not withdraw from the army, not because I wanted to disobey the order, but because I made a decision based on the current situation. Now that the city of Nanjing is about to be broken, if I withdraw from the army at this moment, my previous efforts will be wasted, how can I withdraw from the army? If you go back and tell Your Majesty for me, after you have completely defeated the Japanese people, I will naturally go back to ask Your Majesty for my guilt! ”

Qin Cha didn't dare to say anything more, and kowtowed: "The villain must bring the princess's words!" The villain retires! Then he stood up and bowed down. Ye Yu Guanyin's eyebrows were furrowed, and her heart was full of puzzlement: Why did Your Majesty suddenly send such an edict, what is going on? How did His Majesty suddenly become so confused?

His heart moved: 'Could it be that Your Majesty has changed his mind and does not want to eradicate internal troubles?' Even Your Majesty is suspicious of me? Ye Yu Guanyin felt that it was very possible, this kind of thing was really common in the royal family, and the emperor's heart was the most volatile, although she and the emperor had made arrangements for that major event before, but no one could guarantee that he would suddenly change his mind, this is not such an unbelievable edict came, this edict means that the emperor has changed his mind!

Ye Yu Guanyin sighed secretly, hesitated for a moment, wrote a letter, sealed it, and said to Leopard Chong: "Xiao Baochong, you immediately bring this letter back to Zhongjing and hand it over to Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he handed the letter out. Xiao Bao rushed forward to take the letter, promised it, and left quickly.

Ya Yu Guanyin glanced at the generals, and said categorically: "I have already made up my mind, I will never be a teacher if I don't destroy the Japanese people, I hope that the generals will work together with me, don't look ahead!" Otherwise, military law is merciless! ”

All the generals were heartbroken, and they bowed together: "Obey the princess's orders, we will never dare to disobey!" ”

"Pass the order down and attack the city overnight!" Soon after, the silence of the night was broken, and the Khitan army and the Goryeo army stormed Nanjing on three sides, and the battle was even more fierce than during the day, and the walls of Nanjing were crumbling and precarious! In the early morning of the next day, the battle continued, the fierce battle lasted until noon, the corpses under the city wall were like a mountain, and the corpses were pillowed on the city wall, and the losses on both sides were very great, and the Japanese people still couldn't support it!

But at this moment, countless Goryeo people were pushed to the city by the Japanese people, and the cries of the old and weak women and children were earth-shattering. The Khitan army and the Goryeo army, which were originally storming the city, couldn't help but stop attacking. The soldiers of the Goryeo army were full of grief and indignation, and they wanted to smash and scrape the Japanese people, but their fathers and villagers were in the way, where did they dare to do it? The Khitan army can't attack, they naturally don't care about the life or death of the Goryeo people, but if they cause a large number of casualties among the Goryeo people in the attack, they are afraid that they will have problems with the Goryeo army, and they will not be able to do it.

Ya Yan Guanyin looked at the Goryeo people who were crying at the head of the city, frowned and scolded: "These Japanese people are really despicable and ruthless enough!" Then he turned his head and said loudly: "Pass the order, the whole army retreats!" The golden bell on behalf of the retreating troops rang loudly, and the Khitan army retreated like the tide of the ebbing tide, and the Goryeo army also retreated. Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Samuro couldn't help but be very proud.

When Ya Kannon returned to the big tent, he suddenly stopped and was stunned, his brows furrowed. Seeing this, the generals did not dare to disturb her, and stood quietly behind her.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
