Compared with Li Guang, who had a ruddy complexion, Wang Yan's complexion was much worse, and he looked a little haggard, Yang Zhi smiled and arched his hand at Li Guang and said: "Lord Li has worked hard, I came all the way and looked at the appearance of the two cities, they are very good, the mood of the people is stable, and the market is also improving, just one month, it is not easy." ”

Looking at the excited Yang Zhi opposite, Li Guang couldn't cry or laugh, everything was carried out according to Yang Zhi and Lu Yihao's design, how could Yang Zhi not know how these achievements came about, this is just a scene; Li Guang said politely: "Everything is the people's expectation, Bianliang has given us great help." ”

Yang Zhi laughed and said: "This is the first time that the Dingbei Army has governed the recovered area, and the experience of success and failure is very important, and I believe that there will be more similar opportunities in the future; ”

Li Guang was stunned for a moment and took a deep breath, Yang Zhi is honest and honest, and he hardly plays any tricks with his colleagues, but Yang Zhi is not a generous person, and his way of governance is similar to that of a businessman, which is also the reason why he is criticized by many people. Wang Yan sighed: "In the eyes of the people in Kaide Mansion and other places, money and grain come easily, as if they have returned to the period of Qinzong, and they are attaching importance to Baojia and Tuntian. ”

Wang Yan said the opposite, wanting to test Yang Zhi's true purpose; Yang Zhi had discussed with Liang Xun before he came, and Wang Yan's current idea was to prove his ability in front of Runzhou and Taiyuan, and the so-called request for defense was just a move to advance and retreat. Yang Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Changing places and people will not have much impact on the local people; the most important thing is the people's hearts, whether they are towards the Great Song Dynasty or towards Liu Yu." ”

Yang Zhi's statement was very strange, so that Li Guang, Wang Yan and others could not understand, Yang Zhi continued: "This Liu Yu is amazing, he can quietly complete such a big thing as recruiting 300,000 troops in Hebei; 300,000 people, in a war, even if it is waiting for us to kill, it will take a while, it will consume a large part of our strength, Wang Yan, we must find out the deployment of the opponent's troops. ”

Wang Yan's face was a little unsightly, although Yang Zhi was telling the truth, but Wang Yan still couldn't accept it directly; Wang Yanqiang smiled and said: "My lord, this matter will be discussed later, now it is mainly those refugees, who have passed the sowing period, whether they will be resettled in the Tuntian camp or the government." ”

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "It depends on how much you can eat, the most important thing for refugees is peace of mind, whether you each come up with a plan, and count an approximate number within your ability." ”

Wang Yan snorted: "It's good to give them a bite to eat, but if they don't eat and drink, they dare to make trouble, and I will keep them obedient." ”

"No, no, no!" Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "This is the first batch of people collected by our Northern Expedition, we have to make them feel at ease, and set an example for the future, even if they can't farm, they can also work for relief, I don't believe that from Kaide Mansion to Caozhou, there are no guys to do on the south bank of the Yellow River." Especially those young and strong, they will be the main source of soldiers and people in the future, and we must show some strength to let them see, but we must also convince them. ”

Li Guang nodded his head again and again, he was in favor of Yang Zhi doing this, and the ideal of the scholar was that during the Northern Expedition of the King Division, the common people would welcome him with a pot of pulp, and it would be up to the world to spread the word; in order to achieve such a picturesque effect, it was unimaginable to win the hearts and minds of the people in the early stage. Wang Yan was a little harsh when he heard it, and said: "It is inevitable that the people will miss their relatives, but the interests of such grass people are the most critical, if you have milk, you are the mother, and whoever gives the benefits will go with whom, but our current situation is difficult, and I am afraid that it will not work if I want to be Huairou." ”

"You did give me a problem. Yang Zhi said with a smile: "But this is an opportunity for all of us, training the team in a place like Kaide Mansion can lay the foundation for a larger scope in the future." Although the little people are like grass, and when a strong wind blows, they will definitely fall down, but we cannot think that they are nothing, unambitious, and unmotivated. Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty said that water can carry boats and can also overturn boats, look at Hebei and Lianghuai, if these people go to create conditions for progress, isn't it our trouble?"

When the grass people really have no way out, the so-called conditions for creation are nothing more than unveiling the rod and rising up, just like the Dingbei army is dominating Taiyuan, perhaps the ambition is a little smaller, and the chassis is a little smaller; Wang Yan said fiercely: "Then there will be no forgiveness for killing." ”

Yang Zhi laughed: "Wang Yan, there is no need, killing a hundred is just a warning, and most people we still have to deal with them, the pattern of the Dingbei Army can't just be in front of us, we can't support it because they rebelled in Hebei, and oppose it on Gyeonggi Road, the most important thing is that they agree or disagree with the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is burning, killing and looting, and endangering the people." ”

Wang Yan's generals nodded one after another, these people are all from the Taihang Mountain cottage, originally they were all refugees, and later gathered in the Xiaoxiao Cottage and joined the Dingbei Army; although everyone has different hometowns, but their minds are the same in this matter, and they have a kind of sympathy for the refugees, and they can't do it. This is also where Wang Yan and Li Guang are in a dilemma, a few generals are still good to do their work, but tens of thousands of soldiers are very difficult.

Yang Zhi's smile dispelled the uneasiness of these people, and Fu Xuan, the general under Wang Yan, stood up and asked: "Lord Yang, we are all rough people, and some things we don't understand, since you are here, you might as well say it directly; we are all your subordinates, no matter the rewards and punishments, as long as we are fair, there will be no complaints." ”

Wang Yan was greatly displeased, Fu Xuan's words were equivalent to directly providing Yang Zhi with an opportunity to cross his own orders, Wang Yan knew that his cheap big brother was not only martial arts, but also first-class strategy. Yang Zhi smiled and nodded: "Actually, it's very simple, now that the harvest season has just begun, you can use the name of the government or the Tuntian Army." Organize these people to help harvest grain, fish and hunt in Liangshanbo, and you can also let some women spin and weave cloth, anyway, we want them to survive, and we need them to pay labor; I will transfer a batch of salt, you pickle some salted fish or something, and the cloth government will buy it directly. ”
