"The last general will see the emperor!"

Yang Yue and his entourage did not wait long at the city gate, and Lin Kaiyue led the pro-army to gallop on horseback.

Jumping off the war horse, Lin Kaiyue clasped his fists and saluted in a low voice.

As expected, Yang Yue arrived in Shencheng in recent days, but he didn't expect Yang Yue to come quietly.

Looking at the forbidden army around Yang Yue left and right, there were only more than 100 people, and he reminded softly: "Your Majesty, the Liwang Department of the Right Valley has been wiped out, and there are still Khitan wolves riding in many places in the grassland.

"Don't get in the way, the more you are in the northeast, the more arrogant the Khitans will be, otherwise, in their own territory, do I want to lead heavy troops to protect?" Yang Yue said coldly, who dares to kill the king, don't think about retreating.

"Yes!"

Lin Kai jumped his head, and while staying with Yang Yue and the others into Shencheng, he reported to Yang Yue: "Your Majesty, General Luo, and General Duanmu led the army to fight a battle to eradicate the Liwang Department of the Right Valley, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the northeast has expanded thousands of miles to the west, and has arrived in the Shanghu Zhenhe area, however, it is still difficult to completely occupy the Songdesert Protectorate."

"At present, the Bohai State and the Silla State have set up four counties, and the Tang Dynasty has been compressing the Khitan territory in the northeast. The top priority is not to annex the Khitan, but to completely control the Balhae Sea and Silla." Yang Yue said loudly.

The northeastern part of the Tang Dynasty includes the Bohai Sea, Silla, and the newly occupied Khitan territory, and the territory is extremely extensive, far larger than the Central Plains.

If it is properly managed, it will be the cornucopia of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is not well managed, there are many foreign races here, and it will not be long after conquest, which can easily cause disasters and cause chaos in the Northeast.

"The emperor is reasonable, this time the last general led the army to come, although the stay was short, but he has noticed a lot of problems, today, General Yuan did not come to meet the emperor in person, that is, he went to the Bohai Sea to inspect, by the way, to deter the powerful in all parts of the Bohai Sea!" Lin Kaiyue reports.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, slowly drawing it.

The Northeast is a vast territory, and there are a mixture of various ethnic groups, and most of them were uncivilized in the past, so when operating, the government decrees issued need to consider the interests of all parties, otherwise it is easy to cause rebellion.

"Tell me, what did you find?" Shuttling through the crowded streets, looking at the newly built houses on both sides, there were many vendors shouting in his ears, Yang Yue asked with a chuckle.

The Bohai people, Silla people, Khitans, Tang people, a few Turkic people, and a few white people from the north in the streets.

Looking at the prospect, Yang Yue still realized that the Northeast issue was thorny.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Northeast, there are three points that will be worried that it will be easy to go wrong, first, the emperor followed the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and set up four counties in the Northeast, but the four counties of Lelang were all in Silla, and now it includes the entire Northeast.

At first, the emperor and the court officials mostly ignored the territory of the Balhae Kingdom, and at present, the four counties could not control the entire Silla, Balhae, and the newly occupied areas.

A few days ago, the last general discussed with General Yuan, and suggested that the emperor set up two provinces in Silla and four provinces in the Bohai Sea, and sent capable officials to come!

Second, after the occupation of Silla and Balhae, the officials in the northeast, some people implemented the laws of the Balhae, some people implemented the laws of Silla, and some people implemented the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the year, it is recommended to implement the Tang law in the Northeast as soon as possible, unify the laws and regulations, and solve the complex problems of the Northeast Law and Order from the root.

Third, the population of the Northeast is mixed, especially after a large number of people have migrated to the Guannei, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of the local powerful and powerful, and in addition, the Khitan and Turkic have secretly provoked, and many people are ready to move, and there are armed fights almost every day, and there are casualties from time to time!"

Hearing this, Yang Yue was secretly surprised, Lin Kaiyue and Wufu were still aware of the seriousness of the problem, indicating that these three problems would indeed be very serious in the Northeast.

"Hmm!"

"The matter of the four counties is my fault!"

Yang Yue did not shirk his responsibility, when he set up the four counties, he thought too simply, and there was no actual investigation, so there are today's hidden dangers!

The laws and regulations are complicated, but they are beyond his expectations, the areas occupied by the Tang Dynasty need to implement the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty and adopt the laws of the old country, so it is impossible to restore the country.

Yang Yue's face was cold, and he asked, "What is the matter of the decree in the final analysis?"

"Your Majesty, at the beginning, after seizing the Bohai Sea and Silla, there was a shortage of officials, and in order to appease the old ministers of the two countries, they wantonly recruited the powerful people in the two places as officials, these people did not understand the Tang law, and often favored the locals, so they did not take the Tang law in their eyes, and later the imperial court successively sent many officials to come, and the local heroes were unwilling to give up their power, and secretly competed with the court officials for power and profit, and deliberately misinterpreted the Tang law." Lin Kaiyue reported, his face indignant.

"This is my negligence!"

Yang Yue said embarrassedly that after leading the army to occupy Hedong Province, he shifted his attention to the seizure of the heir and ignored the Northeast issue.

After ascending the throne, he was faced with dealing with various problems in the Tang Dynasty and did not realize the seriousness of the Northeast problem.

If you don't come in person, the problems in the Northeast may still continue.

After hesitating, Yang Yue said firmly: "General Lin, I will deal with the three problems you said as soon as possible!"

Shuttling through the streets, looking at the crowds of people, Yang Yue sighed: "Shencheng is prosperous, you don't need Luoyang!"

"Your Majesty, Shencheng extends in all directions, merchants from Tiannan and Haibei, all bring goods to Shencheng, and buy goods in the city and transport them back, and at the same time, they also bring many items from Silla, Khitan, and Bohai, and flow from here to Guannai, and the daily tax alone is already a lot of income!" Lin Kaiyue respectfully reported to Yang Yue.

Shencheng does not have the status of Luoyang in the Central Plains, but it has a similar status to Chang'an in the Northeast, and is the political, economic, and military center of the Northeast.

"Yes, yes, this is just the beginning, waiting for the end of the comprehensive reclamation of the Northeast, the order will be completely stabilized, taxes, population, there will be earth-shaking changes, at that time, the pattern of the Northeast will be completely changed!" Yang Yue smiled and was very satisfied with Shen Cheng's success. "General Lin, what is the population of people who came to the Northeast to reclaim, and how much fertile soil has been reclaimed at present?"

Shencheng is located in the core of the Northeast, and if it wants to develop and grow, it is bound to take advantage of the entire environment in the Northeast, otherwise, Shencheng is just a simple trade city, which is by no means what Yang Yue is looking forward to.

Lin Kaiyue's face showed embarrassment, he didn't know how to answer, and saluted with his fists: "Your Majesty, the last general, General Yuan, and General Duanmu are all military generals, and they are not good at government affairs.

The fourth serious problem is the shortage of capable officials in the Northeast, and the general suggested that in order to completely control the Northeast, it is urgent to send cadres who are in charge of their own affairs, otherwise, in the long run, the Northeast will be prone to chaos."

Not long after he led the Xiaowu army to Shencheng, he had not yet fully understood the government affairs of Shencheng, and at present, Yang Yue suddenly asked, which made Lin Kaiyue unguarded.
