Compared with the identity of the descendant of King Qin, capturing Zhang Zhongwu alive and recovering the entire Liaodong made Li Ze much more excited. The entire land of Liaodong, such a large black and fertile land, it will make him salivate whenever he thinks about it!

Originally, this land could truly be called a barbaric land, but for the Central Plains Empire, this place was really remote and difficult to rule.

Thanks to Zhang Zhongwu's hard work over the years, this piece of land finally has some appearance, which saves him a lot of energy.

No matter what kind of person Zhang Zhongwu was, what he established in Liaodong was still a Tang regime, and he established the absolute authority of the Tang people there, including the grading system of what Tang people were the first class of people. Although it is said that this is a bad government, it will still help the Tang Dynasty to establish a new rule there in the future.

A place has been poisoned too much, and only needs a little favor from the latecomers to distinguish the brutality of the past rulers, and the locals are generally grateful and afraid of comparison, and Li Ze wants this comparison.

Of course, the hierarchy of distinguishing people should be abolished, and all people in this land should be Tang people, should all enter the Yellow Book of Household Registration of the Tang Dynasty, and should become good people who pay taxes in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ze believed that the policies implemented by the current Tang Dynasty would definitely make the vast majority of the people in this land rejoice, and they would become absolute supporters of these policies in a very short period of time.

If you don't believe in it, those who don't support it, needless to say, are definitely some rioters, careerists, and bandits, and of course we must resolutely cut off these people.

That black land has always been rich in fierce people, and these self-proclaimed heroes are afraid that they are now in chaos seeking undeserved benefits, and when the government wants to deprive them of these benefits, rebellion will naturally come. Then, let you learn the sharp blade of the Tang Dynasty Mansion again.

After the unruly ones were completely removed, the land was at peace.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and when he turned his head, he saw Liu Ruyan looking at him intently.

"What are you looking at?" The ghost made the god send, and Li Ze soared out such a sentence.

Liu Ruyan was a little inexplicable, "What's wrong with the ground?" ”

"Take another look!" Li Ze's eyes narrowed.

Liu Ruyan is not afraid of Li Ze, this is not above the court, nor in the army, this is in his own bedroom, here, there are no superiors and subordinates, only husband and wife.

She crossed her waist with both hands, and raised her willow eyebrows, "Try it!" ”

Li Ze laughed loudly, sure enough, it was still the same taste, the same feeling.

turned around, no longer paid attention to Liu Ruyan, picked up the pen from the case and began to review these documents, but his mouth hummed a free tune.

My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China.

There are forest coal mines,

And the soybean sorghum all over the mountain!

didn't wait for Liu Ruyan to react, but he changed his tune again.

My hometown,

I live in this tun,

I'm a native of this tunli,

Don't look at the village is not big,

There are mountains, waters, and forests,

The neighbors are very harmonious,

The old and young masters are more in tune.

Liu Ruyan snorted, Li Ze often hummed some inexplicable country slang songs when there was no one, the tunes were completely unheard by Liu Ruyan, and what made him unhappy was that Xia He often hummed such tunes, especially when coaxing the children to sleep, Liu Ruyan often heard that there were many overlapping tunes in the tunes hummed by the two.

But if you think about it again, it's also a helpless thing, who let Li Ze and Xia He grow up together, in addition to the love of husband and wife, they are really childhood sweethearts, and they really can't compare with this.

The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, so I went out of the house with my spear and played in the yard. All of a sudden, there was a loud roar in the courtyard.

Xia He hurriedly walked in with a few documents, seeing the cold light flickering in the yard, Liu Ruyan was like a vigorous leopard coming and going, and immediately cautiously slipped in all the way against the root of the wall, and there was a faint cold snort of Liu Ruyan in his ears, as if he saw Liu Ruyan glance at himself, he couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, and he didn't know where to make his aunt unhappy.

Originally, I wanted to drink a few words of Cai'er, but seeing this situation, it was naturally better to have more than one thing to do, so I immediately quickened my pace and quickly slipped into Li Ze's study.

"Coming?" Li Ze waved like a fly, signing his name on one document after another. Now the secretary and supervisor have become more and more mature, and most of the chapters, when presented to him, have basically written all kinds of handling opinions, and the heads of various departments have also signed and read, and here in him, it is just a routine. Of course, if he has a different opinion, he will naturally write a pen and discuss it again.

"Regarding the money requested by the Liaodong side, I think it is better to press it for now." Xia Ho Road.

"Reason." Li Zedao: "Reconstruction, pension, resettlement, this requires a lot of money, if it can't be put in place in time, the results of the soldiers' bloody battles will inevitably be greatly discounted, is it a financial difficulty?" ”

"Isn't it just difficult? It's already beyond our means. Xia He frowned: "Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, and the daily silver money flows out like water." No matter how much income we have, we can't afford to spend it like this, and as you know, we have always eaten too much, but if this fiscal deficit is too large, there will be endless hidden dangers. Now that the war in Liaodong has ended, we might as well delay it a little. ”

"Drag it out?" Li Ze scratched his head.

"Yes, drag it out, Liaodong is about to usher in winter, and if it snows heavily, nothing can be done." Xia He said: "So I think that Liaodong only needs to ensure the most basic food supply for the time being, and it is enough to ensure where to spend this winter safely, and in the next spring, we must have taken Chang'an and completely destroyed the pseudo-Liang, so we can breathe this breath." ”

"So you mean, the troops there should be withdrawn en masse!" Li Ze heard the meaning of Xia He's words.

"Yes." Xia He nodded and said: "The right leading guard retreated to Goryeo, and while stabilizing the situation in Goryeo and helping Goryeo rebuild order, it is logical to ask the Goryeo people to bear their expenses." Xue Chong's Zuo Jin Wuwei was stationed in Mozhou and no longer conducted large-scale military operations, and the expenditure would be greatly reduced. And Liaodong as a whole has a bumper harvest this year, judging from the intelligence transferred back from Liaodong, they are not short of food, even if they need a large amount of pension now, they only need to save some, and there is no problem in surviving this winter. ”

Li Ze nodded: "If these two armies withdraw from Liaodong, then we still need to maintain a strong armed force in Liaodong to deter. And this army should not cost much. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ze understood: "You mean the two armies of Yeluyuan and Liu Yan. ”

Xia He nodded: "I think this winter, while we send a large number of officials, we only need to maintain a highly powerful cavalry team, and where can this team adapt to the environment, and the logistics requirements will not be so high." ”

Li Ze laughed: "No wonder everyone says that you are an iron hen, this is the account?" You are sure that Ye Luyuan will not refuse now, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, so throw this burden to him! Well, where is Liu Yan, if his ancestral house in Mozhou is returned to him, he will be very happy to think about it. ”

Xia He smiled and nodded.

"This proposal is feasible, Ye Luyuan and Liu Yan's department will be organized into a cavalry corps, and at the same time, a part of the cavalry of the Right Guards led by Zhang Jia will also be drawn, isn't there a large number of people from the desert Fan clan in Zhang Jia's cavalry team this time?" Li Zedao: "After the training, Ye Luyuan was the main general, Liu Yan and Zhang Jia's department sent a general, and the two were the deputies, and they jointly completed the work of suppressing bandits in Liaodong. ”

"In that way, we can save a lot of money." Xia He said: "There is one more thing, that is, the debt issue you mentioned to me before, this time I want to test the water in Liaodong." The Ministry of Household is preparing to issue Liaodong Construction Bonds for a period of three years. ”

Li Ze pondered for a moment and said, "This kind of new thing, I don't know if anyone will be willing to invest?" ”

"Of course we have to give some discounts!" Xia He said: "Aside from small retail investors, large buyers, we can give him a commodity franchise in Liaodong." I think this temptation is enough to make those big merchants rush to it, once they start bidding, they will immediately make the value of the bond appreciate, which will benefit the small retail investors, so as to establish the credibility of our bonds, and then issue similar bonds in the future, even if such franchises are not given again, the purchase of retail investors alone is enough for us to raise enough money. ”

"The scope of this franchise should be limited!" Li Zedao.

"Of course, Sun Lei and Wang Mingyi are organizing people to discuss this matter."

"How much is the first bond to be issued?"

"Ten million silver dollars." Xia He said: "With this money, the expenses after taking Chang'an will be settled." Dealing with the affairs of Guanzhong is much more troublesome than the current Liaodong. ”

"You organize these things into a memo, and go through them with the various scholars first." Li Ze thought for a while and said, "After all, this is an unprecedented precedent, and it always doesn't hurt to listen to some different opinions." ”

"It's a pity that there is a lot of loose money being idle in the private sector now." Xia He smiled: "If we can collect all this money, we can do more." And for this, I think it is worth it to give the people a little sweetness and pay a little interest. ”
