Yang Zhi couldn't help frowning when he looked at the barren fields beside the road, and there were refugees fleeing from their homes and rebels looking for a way out everywhere along the way, but the fields outside the city had not begun to sow until now, indicating that the resistance that Liang Xun encountered in Kaifeng was quite large. A dozen children were playing on the side of the road, and when they saw the cavalry of the brigade stop their movements in a daze, they ran back to the adults in the house.

Yang Zhi's gaze eased a little, some things were in a hurry, Yang Zhi asked Zhao Ding beside him: "Lord Zhao, if these fields are not cultivated, what should be done according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Ding and Yang Zhi along the way, the relationship between the two has been greatly improved, Zhao Ding listened to Yang Zhi's first question is farming, and he nodded a praise in his heart and said: "Regardless of whether there is sowing or not, the government can collect taxes as usual, and for the ownerless fields, the government will assist in handling it through the Kuotian Institute or Sinong Temple." Under normal circumstances, it is arranged to carry out inspections in various counties, and Sinong Temple and the local government are responsible for statistics, but sometimes there are more ridiculous figures. ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Land is the foundation of human survival, whether there are a few acres of thin fields or thousands of acres of fertile land, I hope that my own territory is my own decision, but now I don't care about it, the army is on the side, I miss farming, and the autumn harvest is a joke with the lives of the soldiers." Here, as in Puzhou, all fields will be planted with grain, and the destruction of rice fields will be dealt with according to law and military discipline.

Zhao Ding was silent all of a sudden, he understood Yang Zhi's distress, the 100,000 army had to survive in Bianliang, and Yang Zhi did not allow his men to disturb the people, so food became the most critical issue; Zhao Ding was a pragmatic person, knowing that there were difficulties in the supply of Runzhou, and when King Kang's army left, almost all the grain in Bianliang was taken away, and it was useless to say a bunch of comforting words at this moment, so he could only remind Yang Zhidao: "Bianliang has a million people, and more than 300,000 people have fled, and many fields are terra nullius, and it is difficult to forcibly cultivate." ”

"What about the army?" Yang Zhi actually started thinking about this matter from Puzhou, and now the most difficult thing is the big landlord, who ran away by himself, leaving the housekeeper or poor relatives to help look after the fields, and it is likely that the army will not interfere: "We must speed up, and finish the sowing of the seeds before the Jin army comes, and I plan to issue an order that whoever leaves wasteland, in order to prevent the landlords from escaping after the autumn, will collect twice the grain rent in advance, and collect five times the rent with copper money." In addition, I will quickly inform Runzhou today that all the official fields, imperial fields, and ownerless mountains and beaches will be handed over to the Dingbei Army for cultivation, tentatively for three years; Lord Zhao, you don't want to go to Runzhou, stay and help me. ”

Zhao Ding was taken aback, knowing that Yang Zhi had made up his mind, and whoever dared to confront in this matter, Yang Zhi would definitely take violent measures; Zhao Ding said: "If your Excellency has this determination, it is the duty of the lower officials. ”

As the two talked, the team gradually approached the long pavilion in front of the post house, Li Gang and Liang Xun waited here with half of Bianliang's officials, and there were 20,000 or 30,000 onlookers on the side of the road. The spring breeze was blowing, the willows were flying on the side of the long pavilion, and many people stretched their necks to see the team that fought from Hetao to Huazhou.

Li Gang sighed: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and when I see this team, it seems that I have seen the Canglang camp in Youzhou." ”

"Lord Li, are you also Yang Zhi's old boss?" Liang Xun joked, his face was a little tired, but it did not affect his good mood at the moment; when the Dingbei Army entered Bianliang, it encountered countless obstructions in the open and secretly, but when the news of Weizhou and Huazhou came, the sound of obstruction was at least half less, especially the businessmen in Kaifeng Mansion and the people, their attitude towards the Dingbei Army has greatly improved, as for those powerful people, forget it, Liang Xun asked himself if the means were not enough, or leave it to Yang Zhi to worry about.

Li Gang nodded slightly: "I regret it, but I didn't die like Chong Shuai, I have to continue to do something, I won't evade responsibility." ”

Liang Xun shook his head slightly, Zhang Bangchang said that the imperial capital was still an official, Li Gang just fought a few defeats, it was nothing, it turned out that none of the battles commanded by Bianliang were victorious, and Li Gang at least did not flee without a fight; Li Gang knew what Liang Xun meant, and couldn't help laughing. The cavalry team stopped at the Changting, Yang Zhi, Zhao Ding and others lined up their horses and dismounted in front of Li Gang and others. ”

Li Gang smiled and said: "Yes, Lord Yang is coming with an army, which is the expectation of the people of Bianliang, and the recovery of Huazhou is good news." ”

Liang Xun, Zhao Ding and others greeted each other, and Yang Zhi said to Li Gang: "It is estimated that we will discuss the matter of one day later, so let's not rest in Chenqiaoyi and go directly to the city." ”

Things are not so urgent, but Chen Qiao is where Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe is added, Chen Qiao Yi is also a post house to receive the envoys of the Jin State and the Liao State, and the ordinary Song Dynasty officials would rather go to the town in front of them to rest, be free and free, and do not leave a handle for others; everyone will smile, get on the horse, get on the car, and drive all the way into Bianliang City. The officials are not ordinary people, their hearts are like mirrors, what kind of place is Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, even if Yang Zhi drives away the hundred officials and students, it is not something that Yang Zhi can do with a person with no qualifications.

If it weren't for the fact that Yang Zhi was now famous all over the world, and he had an undefeated male division under his command, it would not be easy to even enter this Bianliang City. But Yang Zhi didn't feel this way, he was a native of Kaifeng, from the three sects and nine streams below, all the way to the princes and magnates at the top, almost all of them had dealt with, especially the knowledge he carried with him, Yang Zhi just didn't think too much about it. Just when he was entering the city, Yang Zhi saw the towering and tall city walls of Kaifeng, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility.

Yang Zhi forcibly suppressed his urge to shout "I'm back" and slowly slowed down his horse. The cavalry behind him suddenly shouted, and I don't know who sang the song: "You don't see the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive please Changying, you don't see Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the war clouds, the man should be in serious danger, how can you let the Confucian crown miss this life, the situation is that the country is in danger......"

Li Gang was stunned in the sedan chair for a moment, this song was circulated in the army when the army was on the northern expedition to Yanyun, and once again heard 10,000 people singing in unison, Li Gang suddenly burst into tears; the heroism of the beginning has turned into sorrow today, and it seems to be a nightmare from the attack on Youzhou to the third time to defend Bianliang now.
