"Jerod is dead?" An exclamation rang out.

Li Jing smiled, "That's right, Yelu Lide died, and he was cut off by Yelu Yundeshi's nephew on the day of the firewood ceremony. ”

Yelu Lide's death can be said to be completely the result of Li Jing's planning, Li Wei's personal entry into the Khitan, and his active promotion. If it weren't for Li Wei, Pu Guzhi wouldn't have been so fierce in revenge. After all, Ruthless was the son-in-law of Barat Khan, and his killing of Yun Deshi was also supported by many nobles.

But Levi's words made Pu Guzhi sleep. After the last, I finally decided to strike first.

The Khitan firewood ceremony was originally used by the Khitan when selecting a new khan, and at first Yi Lijin was not qualified to use this ceremony. But now the power of Yili Sumire is getting bigger and bigger, so the Khitan Yili Sumire also has to go through this firewood ceremony.

The firewood ceremony is actually a ritual of burning firewood to worship the gods, and when the firewood ceremony is held, the person who takes over the Yili Sumire must first complete a 'rebirth' ceremony. As the name suggests, to be reborn is to be born again. As for the reason, it is to let the person who becomes Yi Lisumire remember that in the future, he will no longer be the representative of his own family and will serve the interests of the tribe. The so-called rebirth ritual is actually just walking into a tent where no one is around, and changing into the outfit of Yi Lisumi.

After Yun Deshi, who was full of joy at that time, walked into the tent, he was held down by several people, and his head was cut off with a knife, and it became a real rebirth.

At that time, the person who did it was none of the people who didn't expect the shopkeeper Li, because during the ceremony, the people and horses of each department were actually monitoring each other. There's no way anyone can sneak up in that tent. Only the people of the Central Plains Caravan were invited to participate in this ceremony. But no one was staring at them. As a result, Li Wei, who has been pretending to be the shopkeeper of Li. infiltrated the tent with a few special combat team members, and killed ruthless people to everyone's surprise.

At that time, Yelu Pu Guzhi also disguised himself as Li Wei's subordinates and infiltrated the venue, and after they killed Ruthless, Yelu Pu Guzhi changed back into clothes, and Li Wei and the others disguised themselves as Yelu Pu Guzhi's subordinates.

When the expected Jerud did not appear from the tent, but instead appeared with the head of Jerupugu, everyone was shocked.

Jerupugu took Jerupuku's head and went out of the tent and told the tribe and the other tribesmen who were waiting outside. Ruthless and virtuous plotted to kill Yunde Shiyi and left the supreme, and he was rebellious, and he was already ambushed.

At this time, Puguzhi's father, Yelu Tira and Yelu Guzhi, the two brothers, took the warriors who had been arranged by the headquarters to kill, and before the ruthless subordinates could react, they had already chopped these people into slices of meat.

After killing Yelu Ruthless, Yelu Tira took advantage of the prestige of his ninth Yili Sumire, and the favorable situation of the current situation, and reached an agreement with the various clans within the Diela tribe strongly, and Yelu Puguzhi was elected as the new Yili Jin of the Diela Tribe, and at the same time successfully served as the Yili Jin of the entire Khitan.

Originally, he had prepared firewood for Jerod. It was directly used as the firewood ceremony of Yelu Puguzhi.

"Yelu Pugu was only elected as Yili Sumire, and the contradiction between the Nadila tribe should be even greater now." Gai Yan stroked his beard and smiled. There was no fear that after the death of Jerod, these contradictions would subside.

On the contrary, everyone already believes that killing against killing will only make the internal contradictions of the Khitan more acute. Yelu's assassination of Yeluyun Deshi was not his own action, but was supported by many Diera nobles and other tribes, especially from the Balat Khan.

But now, Yelu Pugu only assassinated Yelu Lide at the most sacred firewood ceremony of the Khitan people, and forcibly ascended to the position of Khitan Yili Jin. This incident happened, not only because of the internal struggle between the Yelu Tithorn family and the Yelu Ruthless family, but also the Khitan Khan Bala Khan of the Yaoyuan Department.

"Zi Zhen thinks, how should we add a handful of firewood to the Khitan people next?"

Li Jing turned his head to look at Jing Xiang, with a bit of comparison in his eyes, and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jing Xiang seemed very relaxed, "In the current situation, there are only two things we need to do. The first is to suspend the large-scale combat readiness operation against Liaodong, so that the Khitan people know that we will not send troops, so that they can rest assured that they can fight infighting. Second, we can't sit completely still. We need to add another fire to them, and let General Levi use his current friendship with Jerupuguz to strengthen his deal with the Dierabu. At the same time, it also exerts some influence on them, so that their conflict with Barat Khan will be further intensified. They can even sell some weapons and armor to the Diera tribe, so that they can suppress the Balat Khan even more. ”

"In such a situation, the stronger the Dila tribe led by the Yelutira family, the greater the pressure on the Balat Khan, and the stronger the rebound after the last day."

"When you can't bear it anymore, Barat Khan will no longer have to endure it." Li Zhen smiled, "Of course, I heard that Barat Khan is a businessman, and he likes to do business, not war. It is better to let General Levi send someone to assassinate Barat Khan by pretending to be Pu Guzhi. Then choose a strong new khan to come out and fight against the Dira. ”

"As long as the Bala Khan dies, the marshal can send an envoy to the Khitan to express his willingness to fully support them in their crusade against the Diera. I think the Khitan civil war was inevitable. ”

Li Jing nodded again and again, but secretly couldn't help but gasp. This group of strategists of his own is really ruthless, and in a few easy words, they are already about to subvert a country. If things really go as expected, this will be a fatal blow to the Khitan, a newly rising alliance outside the Cypriots.

However, Li Jing likes this plan.

Pu Guzhi assassinated Yelu Ruthless first, and if Yelu Bara was also assassinated, I believe that many people would think that he killed him.

Assassination comes and goes, and this is the most likely act of revenge and hatred.

And Li Jing also believes that the Khan clan of the Yaolin clan will definitely not be willing to watch the power of the Khitan be occupied by the Diera tribe.

"What Zi Zhen said is extremely true." Li Jing immediately turned his head to Li Zhen and Li Liang, "Since this is the case, then it will be agreed, and next, the General Staff Department will come up with a comprehensive plan." I will send more people into the Khitan. ”

Li Rang also smiled and proposed: "Since the Khitan trade is so hot now. Why don't we send more caravans to the Khitan. Before they fight, they can make a good profit. When they fight together, they can make a lot of war money. ”

"You're really pervasive, it's really useless for you to take care of the money bag." Li Jing smiled and pointed at Li Rang.

Li Jing is now getting used to handing things over to everyone to discuss, and after getting the results, he is relieved to be responsible for them. For Li Jing, the family business is getting bigger, and it is impossible for him to bow to everything. It is inevitable to grasp the big peace of mind. What Li Jing needs is to summarize everything and listen to and deliberate, but the specific operation has to be handed over to others to be responsible.

In terms of advice, there are Li Zhen and Li Liang brothers, as well as Gai Yu and Jing Xiang, plus the people in the staff department, Li Jing is very trusting. In terms of specific civil affairs logistics, Guo Chengan, Li Chun, Li Rang, Cui Zhiyuan, Du Zhongwu and others are also responsible.

It is very important to know that people are using it without permission and delegating power appropriately.

The people below are now also accustomed to this way of the big handsome. Delegate power at all levels, and each handle its own responsibilities. It's a good way to do things. The lord and the minister know each other.

In the historical Khitan, in the last 30 years of the Tang Dynasty and more than 50 years of the Five Dynasties, it successfully rose to become the Great Liao Empire. But now, history will turn here, and the appearance of Li Jing made the Tang army begin to re-enter Liaodong, which had been forgotten by the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. And with Li Jing's participation, the Khitan Kingdom did not succeed in smooth sailing, but began to cause trouble against Xiao Wall.

Li Jing's temporary refusal to attack Liaozhong was also a very good decision for the Zhenguo army.

This year's attack on Liaozhong was still a bit hasty for the Zhenguo Army, which had just expanded its army. The roads in southern Liaoning have not yet been repaired, and the grain and grass in the rear have not yet been transported to the front. Moreover, winter is about to begin, and a large number of soldiers in the Zhenguo Army are from the Central Plains, and they have not yet been able to adapt to the cold of winter in Liaodong. Moreover, the mountainous terrain of Liaozhong is also a difficulty.

Well, now, the Zhenguo Army has at least half a year to prepare.

"From now on, it is necessary to build a wide and flat avenue in southern Liaoning to facilitate the transportation of soldiers and horses and the transportation of grain and grass in logistics. There is a wide and flat avenue running through southern Liaoning, which is not only convenient for our army and the transportation of grain and grass, but also extremely important for us to develop eastern Liaoning. As a native of southern Liaoning, Guo Chengan proposed a road construction plan.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, this sentence is still very deep in Li Jing's memory. Liaodong is a mountainous place, and even many cities are built on the mountains, although the defense is strengthened, but it is difficult to transport. If there is a trunk road, the control of the entire Liaodong will be strengthened. Li Jing immediately agreed to this plan. Although, Li Rang made a preliminary budget for this plan, and needed countless money, food, and people.

However, Li Jing didn't think it was a problem, the only problem was that Li Rang planned to recruit people, that is, free Yao labor. This article was resolutely opposed by Li Jing. Historically, large-scale civil engineering projects have caused great harm to the people, and even rebellions and other things have been repeatedly caused. The reason is that the project is labor-intensive, the time is long, and the people have to work for free and bring their own food.

This kind of project is the most painful for the people, and it is difficult for the people to bear it.

Li Jing didn't want to make such a thing happen to himself, so he insisted on building roads, but he had to pay the people for building roads, and he also had to be responsible for food.

"Now our food warehouses are full, and there are countless displaced people in the world who have no food to eat. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of no one to build roads, what we have is money, and the money bank does not have tens of millions of dollars. ”

Li Rang smiled bitterly and said: "Dashuai, that money is the deposit of glass dealers everywhere, not ours." ”

"Since it's in the bank, it's ours. Use it first, are you afraid that you won't be able to pay it back then? The people don't need much money, fifty or sixty yuan a day for one person, and then a meal, there are definitely a large number of people rushing to come. All you have to do is to transport these people to southern Liaoning, and then arrange for them to build roads. One person has less than two yuan a month, and 100,000 people are only 200,000 yuan. In this way, hello, I am hello, everyone, if you forcibly conscript the people of various counties to serve for 200,000 yuan, not to mention the delay in agricultural production, and also cause resentment among the people, is it worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? ”

was explained by Li Jing like this, and Li Rang also figured it out. Although it is said that the government has been leviing civilian service since ancient times, since the teacher has so much pity for the people, and there is indeed money and grain in the warehouse, then he should also support the teacher's decision.

"Although there is no need to fight for the time being, the training of the army and the resettlement of the people cannot be stopped for a moment. In particular, all the new arrivals must have clothes to protect themselves from the cold, have food to wrap their stomachs, and they must also build houses for everyone to settle before the cold winter comes. Even if it is temporarily settled in tents, it is not possible to let those people who have traveled thousands of miles cannot be resettled here. Remember, population is a treasure, and we need it now, no matter how many people we have. "Li Jing has a high demand for people.

There are more than 2 million people in Dengzhou and southern Liaoning, which is already very large. But for Li Jing, it is not saturated, and the Zhenguo Army is not just a feudal town with self-sufficiency in agriculture. The workshop of the Zhenguo Army is very good, and at present, there is no war in Datang, and the profit of commodity trade is extremely high. Even if there is chaos, relying on trade with other countries by sea can also support the population of the Zhenguo army. And after Liaodong is conquered, there will be more territory, and the demand for the population will only increase.

Even Li Jing has made Guo Chengan seem to have a marriage rule, that is, to advocate early marriage, so that men can get married at 15 and women at 13, and even if men are 25 and women are 17, even if they marry late, they have to pay a poll tax for late marriage, and even widowers and widows have been widowed for five years, the government has to let them remarry, and those who do not marry have to pay fines. It is even planned to set up a special official media organization to manage these for this purpose, specifically to manage the marriage registration and age of the people, and those who are unmarried when they reach the age of marriage will be helped by the official media. In order to make the Zhenguo army have a larger population.

For the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty was strong in its early years, it established more than 500 prefectures instead of colonizing it, because the Tang Dynasty had too few populations to conquer and surrender but could not really occupy them. If Li Jingzhen wants to occupy the land of Andong, he needs more people to colonize and occupy it.

"By the way, at the moment we have enough food and enough money, so I plan to comprehensively rectify the economy under the jurisdiction of our Zhenguo Army." Seeing the half-confused look of everyone, Li Jing explained: "To put it bluntly, I am ready to solve the problem of high prices today. I hope that the price of grain under the jurisdiction of the Zhenguo Army can be restored to five wen per catty, that is, one hundred wen yuan for doumi, and other prices will also be reduced. We need to establish a new, stable, and orderly economic order. I know it's a daunting task, but it can't be put off any longer. In this matter, everyone goes back to find a way, and Shichiro is in charge of this matter. Anyway, in seven days, I hope to see a comprehensive and feasible plan! ”

Hearing Li Jing's task, even strategists like Li Zhengai and Yu Jingxiang couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, and Li Rang's face was even heavier, this task was indeed arduous. At present, the price of grain in Dengzhou has reached 1,000 yuan per rice, and Li Jing asks for a tenfold drop at once, which is really a big problem. (To be continued......)
