When Zhao Yingluo led the army to the gate of Kaifeng, many people and officials had already gathered at the gate of the city, waiting for her to triumph.

Zhao Ji led the civil and military officials to greet him, his face was full of joy and pride, seeing her walk to him, Zhao Ji said with joy, "My son has made great achievements for the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the pride of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Yingluo bowed to Zhao Ji Yingying, smiling with peach blossoms on her face, "Daddy has won the award, and it is the soldiers who fought bravely to have today's victory." I don't dare to take credit. ”

"Good, good!" Zhao Ji praised repeatedly, "You are not arrogant or impatient, and it is even more commendable." This big victory over Jinguo, you are indispensable. I want to reward you heavily! ”

Zhao Yingluo thanked her again, then turned her head to the soldiers behind her and said, "This victory is everyone's credit. After a short rest, I'm going to throw a feast for everyone! ”

After hearing this, the soldiers shouted "Her Royal Highness the Princess Chitose", and the laughter of victory floated throughout Kaifeng City.

Subsequently, Zhao Yingluo placed the soldiers and horses in a small town in the north of Kaifeng City, so that they could rest temporarily. And he took the maid Xia He, Dong Xue and more than a dozen guards back to his mansion in Kaifeng City.

Chun Tao and Lu Luo, who had been waiting at the door of the mansion early, hurriedly ran forward after seeing Zhao Yingluo's figure.

"Your Highness, you're finally back." Chun Tao choked up and said, "We have been worried about your safety during this time, and now we can finally rest assured." ”

Pothos chimed in, "You don't know, we pray every day that you will return safely. Now, we've finally put our hearts down. ”

After Zhao Yingluo heard this, her heart was moved. She took the two of them by the hand and said, "It's been hard for you all this time. Rest assured, I will reward you well. ”

After a night's rest, Zhao Yingluo swept away the fatigue of the battle, and after freshening up and dressing up, she got up early and went to the palace. In the vertical arch hall, hundreds of officials were talking, still discussing this great victory.

When Zhao Yingluo walked into the main hall, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Yingluo, with a satisfied smile on his face, and praised her again. The officials also echoed and praised Zhao Yingluo.

They knew that this victory was of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty, not only stabilizing the frontier, but also reinvigorating the national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty. And all of this is inseparable from Zhao Yingluo's heroism and wisdom.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is brave and invincible, it is really my blessing of the Great Song Dynasty!" A minister sighed.

"Yes, after this battle, the Jin Kingdom will not dare to invade the south in a short time." Another minister chimed in, "With Her Royal Highness the princess here, why don't I worry about it?" ”

After Zhao Yingluo was modest again, she asked about the situation in the south, she turned to her younger brother Zhao Zhen, the king of letters, and asked: "Brother Huang, the three roads sent by the imperial court to attack Kaifeng before, I already know about Han Shizhong, what about the other two roads?" ”

Zhao Zhen said calmly, "These two roads have not achieved results, because of the presence of General Zong Lao and General Li in the middle lane, in order to avoid fighting in the same room, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun chose to avoid fighting. ”

"As for Guo Yanbu on the West Road, they tried to attack Pingyang Mansion, but due to Wang Shan's tight defense and the lack of troops of Guo Yanbu, they were defeated."

Zhao Yingluo nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, everything was within her expectations.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Now the imperial brother has ordered them to temporarily withdraw their troops and reorganize their troops and horses, probably to find new fighters. ”

Zhao Yingluo listened to it and sneered, "The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are weak, what new fighters are there?" If the imperial brother really wants to get rid of me, he still needs to rely on external forces, such as continuing to collude with the Jin State or ...... United Western Xia. ”

Speaking of which, Zhao Yingluo had mixed feelings in her heart, if Zhao Gou was really confused and chose to collude with the Jin State or Western Xia in order to get rid of her, then the Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji would face an unprecedented threat.

"We must pay close attention to the movements of the imperial court, as well as the movements of the Jin State and Western Xia."

Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement: "I will strengthen the monitoring of the imperial court and the north, and report to you as soon as there is any trouble." ”

Zhao Yingluo turned to the officials again, and said with a serious expression: "Ministers, although we have won this victory, we cannot take it lightly. The Jin State and the Western Xia are still eyeing each other, and we must strengthen the border defense, and at the same time rectify the internal affairs and strengthen the national strength to meet the challenges of the future. ”

After hearing this, the officials agreed one after another, and they knew that Zhao Yingluo's worries were not groundless. In the current situation, only by uniting as one and working together can we defend the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Zhao Yingluo discussed some state affairs with Zhao Ji, she decided to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate the achievements of the returning soldiers.

After the hustle and bustle of the celebration banquet, Zhao Yingluo did not bask in the joy of victory, but quickly turned her attention to the cultivation of winter wheat.

Today, most of his 3 million acres of land have been planted with winter wheat, but further away from Kaifeng, food production has not increased due to poor seed quality and lack of technical guidance, and the people there are still starving.

The crux of the matter is that these lands are in the hands of the squires, and they cannot directly distribute the high-quality seeds in their hands to the farmers, nor can they send technicians to guide them, because they are not the owners of the land.

Zhao Yingluo frowned, thinking about how to solve this thorny land ownership problem.

Suddenly, she thought of Jiang Laosi, who had been dealing with farmers and might be able to provide some useful advice.

After listening to Zhao Yingluo's words, Jiang Laosi thought for a moment and proposed a solution: "Your Royal Highness Princess, those squires just want to charge more tenant rent. If we can guarantee them two stone per mu of tenant income, I think they will not come out to interfere with the cultivation of the peasants. ”

After Zhao Yingluo heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she felt that this idea was quite feasible. "How," she asked, "How?" ”

Jiang Laosi smiled slightly and explained, "We can sign an agreement with the squires, promising to pay the tenant rent every year according to the agreed amount, and the ownership of the land is still in their hands. But the squires are not to interfere with anything we have to do with farming. In this way, we can send skilled workers to guide those farmers in farming, and the grain production will increase, and those farmers will naturally not go hungry. ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded in agreement after hearing this, "This plan sounds good, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, and be sure to plant more wheat before the cold dew." ”

After Jiang Laosi was ordered to leave, Zhao Yingluo was in a good mood and decided to go to Drunken Hibiscus for a walk, she hadn't eaten hot pot for a month and didn't go shopping, and at this moment she strongly felt that the deliciousness of hot pot was tickling her stomach at all times.
