The next day, Shen Luoyan also came to Yangzhou City, worthy of being a female military division, seeing that the dilapidated Yangzhou was not as disappointed as Du Fuwei, after a simple wait-and-see, he thought of how to reproduce the prosperity of Yangzhou. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Jianghuai army guarded the gates of Yangzhou to defend the safety of the city, and at the same time patrolled the streets to maintain order in the city.

After Ye Mu and Shen Luoyan discussed, they first set an example to settle the people, organized the people to resume production, distributed the surrounding fields to the people for cultivation, dredged the waterway wharf, and reopened the inn restaurant, attracting foreign business travelers to trade here, increasing business contacts, and restoring popularity.

As soon as the decree came out, Vientiane was renewed, although it was only a preliminary policy, and many places were far from Ye Mu's ideas, but for the people, it was tantamount to opening the eyes of the sky.

This is already Ye Mu's extreme restraint, it's not that he doesn't want to use things that cross the era, but every era has its own ideological basis, and rashly crossing the era is afraid that it will backfire, and drawing a tiger will not become an anti-dog.

In the world where the imperial power is at the head, the people need a son of heaven, an emperor who can bring stability and peace, they will only go up and down, and give them too much freedom and democracy at this time, which will make them confused.

Therefore, Ye Mu just made some improvements on the basis of the original system, so that everyone could accept it.

During this period, there were also some phenomena of corruption and perversion of the law, Ye Mu's principle is: kill one and make an example, never let it go, let it spread.

With these negative teaching materials, the bloody scene made the whole city know that the new "emperor" is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, the common people sing praises of virtue, and the officials and officials are even more competitive and dare not relax, and the result is that the officials are clear and clear, and all walks of life are flourishing.

......

Northeast of Yangzhou.

Li Zitong was at a loss at this time.

This middle-aged man in his thirties is like a young scholar, his sideburns are slightly creamy, and a wise and mature light naturally emanates from his cheeks, which is enough to attract the favor of most talented women.

"Wagang and Du Fuwei have blocked all the passages in the west, and the east is the sea, where else can I go?" Li Zitong kept wandering in his marshal's mansion, his face was like a flat lake, his heart was thundering, and his subordinates were silent.

Since the death of Wagang Zhai Rang and Li Mi, Zhai Jiao stared at the name of the young master, almost all the power of Wagang was in the hands of Xuanyong and Shen Luoyan, and the others did not think about competing for the position of the dragon head, but they all understood that Wagang had dispersed, and could never go back to the past, and was no longer qualified to dominate the world, and the support of the Song valve disappeared without a trace with Li Tianfan's death, and the Turks were not as good at talking as Li Mi was when he was there, they were waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to choose the master again.

Zhai Jiao didn't have much ambition, and she had long wanted to give up the standing leading position, but was vetoed by Xuanyong and Shen Luoyan, for the sake of the situation in Wagang, only Zhai Jiao's identity could make everyone have nothing to say.

Shen Luoyan went to Yangzhou, but he left Qin Shubao there to deter Li Zitong, the former famous general of the Great Sui, at this time with the authority to march and fight, still let Li Zitong not dare to underestimate the slightest, and did not dare to use the sword easily.

"If Yangzhou can be taken, the situation will be greatly eased. ”

Looking at the map of forces surrounded by people, Li Zitong was angry with his book, and said angrily.

At this time, he could no longer see that Wagang had colluded with Du Fuwei, and he was not Li Zitong, who could gather nearly 100,000 followers under his command, but the biggest fool in the world.

"Once Du Fuwei occupies Yangzhou, we will be the meat in the tiger's mouth, do you have any ideas?" Looking at the group of subordinates who followed him, indifferent at this time, Li Zitong was rarely angry.

However, except for hearing a few words of "subordinates are incompetent", I did not hear the answer I wanted.

After a pause, Li Zitong's face, nose and eyes were almost squeezed together, this kind of idea was so unspeakable for a hegemon like him, but he had to put it forward at this time:

"I don't know why Du Fuwei suddenly changed his sex, looking like he wants to dominate the world, but I have to admit that he has a lot of power, rather than waiting for them to come to the door to force us to surrender and sit still, it is better to take refuge early, preserve our strength, and find an opportunity to make a comeback in the future. ”

As soon as the words fell, the columns changed color.

"Think Twice"

People are sometimes like this, when they don't know what to do, others give them directions but are unwilling to go. Such a person in the world will either be led by others or lead the team to perdition.

Li Zitong can hold the idea, so he can lead others to do his own business.

Noise, discussion, and contagion, like a contagion, spread among Li Zitong's group of subordinates, like a mass of sand that had been broken up, and needed a force to reunite them.

The sunlight outside the house came in, fell from the skylight to Li Zitong, and finally got into his eyes, as if he saw hope for a moment, and grabbed it fiercely.

"I've made up my mind. ”

......

Shen Faxing, the governor of Jiangnan Province, Du Fuwei, and Li Zitong, the general manager of Jianghuai, stood around Yangzhou, forming a joint encirclement, among which Li Zitong was the weakest and Du Fuwei was the strongest, but they restrained each other, and no one could help anyone, but they were all right.

Wagang's participation has broken the balance, plus Shen Faxing has had some problems in his territory recently, he is busy cleaning up his mess, and he is too busy to take care of himself, where can he pay attention to Li Zitong?

A few months ago, a group of troops appeared out of nowhere near Yuhang, the number was only a few thousand, and then it traveled to various counties, constantly absorbing the people in Shen Faxing's territory to join, but it expanded to 10,000 people in just over a month.

At first, Shen Faxing thought that this group of people was passing by a certain gate, but he just monitored it closely and did not take it to heart, and when this group of people grew to more than 10,000 people and began to attack his troops, Shen Faxing realized that it had caused a big trouble, and urgently transferred troops to recruit.

Here comes the problem again.

This group of teams is not the army that Shen Faxing usually knows at all, it is simply undisciplined, and the spirit of heroic fighting is only available when bullying the weak, as soon as it meets Shen Faxing's elite troops, it runs away, which makes Shen Faxing hate it so much, but there is no way.

Yangzhou City is vacant, a rare opportunity, but Shen Faxing is busy taking care of the "thieves" at home, and he has no time.

......

Half a month later, Yangzhou and the outside were rejuvenated, and in the eyes of the people, smiles reappeared, and Ye Mu felt that it was time to slowly implement the new policy.

First of all, it is necessary to straighten out the armed forces, break down the original establishment of the armed forces, streamline the administration of the armed forces, train the elite troops, and save military expenditures, while at the same time ensuring combat capability.

Secondly, a unified tax system should be customized, and the tax rate should be lowered to encourage production.

In terms of education, the restrictions of the original imperial examination system have been broken, and the educational opportunities are fair, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, and the recruitment of talents regardless of their background, is no longer limited to literature and martial arts, and all walks of life are included in the scope of personnel training, which has greatly accelerated economic development.

With Ye Mu's personal attendance, Yangzhou's Huaxia Academy appeared in the eyes of the people, attracting the pursuit of hundreds of people, and the work-study model was loved by the lower-class people in the surrounding counties.

For a while, children of all ages came together, forming a landscape.

In a small fishing village to the east.

"Daddy, I want to go to school!" said a dark-skinned child in his eighties and nineties, with joy and nervousness on his face, to the elderly, equally dark-skinned man.

"You coward, what nonsense, don't spend money on school, you can just take your father's life, now the money collector collects less money, help your father work, and in a few years, save enough money to get you a daughter-in-law in the village, and live a good life." The swarthy man first slapped the calloused slap on the child's shoulder, and looked at his son with a naturally bitter face full of guilt.

The hardships of life have made him lose his dreams, and the only hope is to live while allowing his son to live a little better than himself.

"Dad, no, I don't need money to go to school at that Huaxia Academy, maybe I can save some money if I go. ”

A whistling river breeze blew and poured into both ears, only buzzing.

"What are you talking about?"

The boy shouted again.

After that, I saw the swarthy man froze in place, did not speak, but there was a satisfied expression in his eyes.

"Which one did you listen to?"

After a while, the swarthy man came back to his senses and slapped the child on the head again.

"You coward will talk nonsense and dream all day long. ”

"Woo," the child's head hurt, and he cried directly.

"You dare to give Osaac tears. Holding the child, the big slap landed on the buttocks.

At this time, two middle-aged men who were also dressed in rags on the side of the path rushed over.

"Second brother, why do you still let Erhu here? Hurry up and let the baby go to Yangzhou. Before the man came near, the voice came first.

"It turned out to be the third brother and the third sister-in-law, why did they come here today?" the swarthy man didn't care about the words of the visitor, and said with a warm grin.

"What are you talking about, hurry up and let the baby enter Yangzhou City. The two of them were as anxious as sparks, where did they have the kung fu to pay attention to the polite greetings, and directly took the crying child in their hands, and they were about to go back.

"What are you doing?" the child's father hurriedly stopped.

"Send the baby to school" The third sister-in-law was straightforward.

"Second brother, I said you can't be so unkind, Erhu is still young, what can you do for you if you leave him, you let him go to school, and after two years of learning, you don't have to fish every day under the sun. The third brother shook his head and angrily reprimanded Erhu's father.

The second tiger father was suddenly confused:

"What are you all talking about?"

At this time, the third brother told the news he heard again.

"Second Tiger, hurry up and go with your third uncle, go and work hard......"

Seeing that this man couldn't help crying when he said this, several people burst into tears and laughed.

Such scenes have occurred almost everywhere around Yangzhou, which shows that this measure is very popular with the lower classes.
