Chen Qing said with a smile: "As long as there is enough food and clothing, there is no problem for each family to have five or six children. If we keep up with the most basic education, decades later, the population of Liaodong will increase, and they will naturally Head north."

"I'm afraid the common people are more willing to move to Liaodong than overseas."

Chen Qing also sighed slightly: "This is the problem, so temporarily station troops overseas to occupy the land, and then gather Han people from all over Nanyang."

"There are still Han people in Nanyang?"

"Yes! There are quite a few of them. They all passed Guangnan East Road and Fujian Road. It is estimated that there are several thousand people."

At this time, Sima Qian Jun came over with a general named Wang Jian, a native of Qinzhou. Chen Qing joined the army when he served as the envoy of the Qinzhou system. 30 years old.

Persuaded by Chen Qing himself, he agreed to stay in Liaodong as an official. Chen Qing simply rewarded him with the most beautiful Jurchen girl as his wife, and also rewarded him with [-] hectares of land and an earl. "

The reason why Chen Qing likes this Wang Jian is because he is generous and kind to others, he is deeply respected and loved by the soldiers, and he can read and write, so he can cooperate well with Qian Jun.

"See Your Highness for a humble position!"

Chen Qing smiled and nodded, "Let's go to the tent to talk!"

Several people came to the big tent, and Chen Qing ordered someone to find Li Fuxing.

The guards lit candles in front of the sand table. This is the sand table in the Liaodong area. They don't have much information, and the work is relatively rough, but it is barely usable.

Chen Qing walked up to the sand table, picked up the wooden pole and said to Qian Jun and Wang Jian: "I'm thinking of dividing Liaodong into two, and Liaonan and Liaobei. Because of the epidemic, I will not go to Liaobei for the time being, and all [-] veterans will be resettled." In the south of Liaoning, part is in the Liaodong Peninsula, and the other part is along the Liaohe River, and the most fertile land is distributed to them."

Qian Jun nodded, "The current duty of the humble staff is to build southern Liaoning!"

Qian Jun has been appointed by Chen Qing as the economic envoy of Liaodong, in charge of government affairs, and Li Fuxing has been appointed as Liaodong military envoy, commanding [-] troops to sit in Liaodong.

Chen Qing said with a smile: "Eastern Liaodong includes southern Liaoning and northern Liaoning. Northern Liaoning is also under your jurisdiction, but now that there is an epidemic, the army will go north to clean it up step by step, and there are not enough people moving north, but you have to plan well, see See which county is good, and you can arrange it when the next batch of people comes over."

"Understandable!"

Chen Qing was not worried about Qian Jun's ability. He was very capable and managed the Jurchen refugees in an orderly manner. It was precisely because of his ability that Chen Qing decided to let him be the envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy.

Chen Qing said to Wang Jian again: "[-] retired soldiers are [-] families. I'm thinking of setting up a mutual aid club. Fifty families form a mutual aid club to help each other. You will retire as the commander and become the Sima of the Economic Bureau. The mutual aid club It's up to you to lead the formation."

Wang Jian bowed and said: "The humble job will definitely not disappoint His Highness's expectations!"

Chen Qing said again: "At ordinary times, we still need to organize their training. Once foreign enemies invade, we must quickly gather together."

"Remember the humble job!"

At this time, Li Fuxing bowed and said, "Your Highness, Liaodong is vast and it is difficult to walk on foot. Can you give the soldiers a cart so that they can go with their families and tents?"

Chen Qing agreed, "Yes, we happen to have 10,000+ carts. The materials are unloaded and temporarily placed in Dading City, and [-] carts are given to the retired soldiers, equipped with strong mules, and each soldier rides The war horses can be taken away, and ten ewes, two stones of grain, five bolts of fine cloth, twenty sheepskins and five catties of salt will be given to each of them as parting gifts from me."

This time Chen Qing not only seized 10,000+ carts, but also seized 20 horses and mules, and millions of sheep.

Of course he will not be stingy with the soldiers who follow him to fight.

……

Three days later, [-] soldiers took off their armor and put on ordinary clothes, but their spears and armor were still placed in the cart, and they still wore swords in their waists, riding on the horses that had followed them for many years.

They are both civilians and soldiers. Once the enemy invades, they will quickly put on their armor and gather to defend their homeland.

Next to them was their cart. The newlywed wives of the soldiers were sitting on the cart, and their mother-in-law was responsible for driving the cart. Jin Guo’s men were extremely scarce, and their life expectancy was generally short. Most soldiers brought their mother-in-law with them in addition to their wives.

The cart was filled with all kinds of daily necessities given to them by King Yong, as well as their properties and a tent, and ten sheep followed the cart, which were also their respective properties.

Eighty thousand soldiers bid farewell to King Yong reluctantly. They will go to the most fertile black land to open up a new world.

Twenty thousand cavalry guarded them, and the retired army marched to Liaodong in a mighty manner, with no end in sight.

……

Auspicious signs appeared one after another in Jingzhao, and a large group of red carp suddenly appeared in Qujiang Pond, as many as tens of thousands, gathered by the lake and were fed by special officials, attracting tens of thousands of people to come to enjoy the fish.

It is generally believed that the carp was transformed by the dragon clan, so Jingzhao spread rumors that this is the Dragon King visiting King Yong.

Immediately afterwards, a 500-year-old stone tablet was unearthed near the Zhaoling Mausoleum. Six characters were engraved vigorously on the stone tablet, "The new master came out, Yong Dixing." '

Guanzhong was called Yong in ancient times, and there is nothing wrong with these six characters, but the meaning of this stele unearthed at this delicate time is different.

At this moment, news came that King Yong led an army to destroy the Kingdom of Jin. Jingzhao and even Guanzhong were full of joy. Millions of people sang and danced all night to celebrate the victory that had been waiting for 20 years.

The headline on the front page of the "Beijing News" reads, "This is the biggest auspicious sign".

The news of the extermination of gold spread from north to south and from west to east. The people all over the world cheered and beat gongs and drums all over the streets to celebrate the victory.

……

In front of Fengxiang Gate in the west of Jingzhao City, a caravan composed of a hundred camels entered the city.

This caravan is full of exotic colors. It looks like it came from the remote Western Regions. The camels carried large packages of goods. The leader was an old Sogdian businessman in his [-]s. His name was Antu, and there were more than a dozen people behind him. Almost all the young Sogdian merchants were his descendants.

They came from far away Samarkand, and Antu hadn't been here for several years.

Since the price of silk in the Samarkand market has risen sharply since last year, Antu decided to make another trip to Jingzhao.

Antu came to the tax office next to the city gate and asked in fluent Chinese, "Excuse me, how do I declare taxes?"

An official came out, looked at his camel team, and asked with a smile, "What is the cargo?"

"Mostly silverware and rugs!"

"Where did you come from?"

"Samarkand!"

The official nodded and said with a smile: "You are lucky. From the beginning of this year, business tax will be exempted for two years and tax will be reduced for three years."

Antu was overjoyed and asked with a smile, "Why is there a tax cut?"

"Our war is over, we need to recuperate, and tax cuts are the means to recuperate."

"I understand, thank you!"

Antu saluted and turned to leave. The official asked again, "Where do you live?"

Antu pointed to the front, "It should be the Persian Inn, I've been living there before!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhong Huan hurried to the Persian Inn with two of his men. Just now, the tax officials informed him that there was a caravan coming from Samarkand.

Now that the intelligence agency has tended to be disbanded, the internal guards have also taken on the intelligence function. King Yong had told them to pay attention to the situation in Xiliao.

Of course, it is impossible for the inner guard to go to Xiliao, so businessmen from the west are the best channel.

Zhong Huan came to the Persian Inn, which was run by a Persian and occupied a large area. It is indeed relatively rare in Jingzhao City, where every inch of land is expensive, which is why it is very famous.

Zhong Huan and two of his subordinates walked into the compound, and the shopkeeper rushed up to meet him. Zhong Huan took out the silver medal and shook it at him. The shopkeeper quickly laughed and said, "What orders does the general have?"

In Jingzhao, no matter who it is, there is a three-point fear of inner guards, especially in service industries such as restaurants, inns, brothels, and teahouses. They dare not offend inner guards, otherwise their jobs will be smashed.

Even this Persian shopkeeper has extremely good eyesight. The other party is holding a silver medal, so he is not an ordinary inner guard, at least above the commander level.

"Did a Sogdian caravan come to your shop today, from Samarkand?"

"Yes! Yes! Uncle Antu, I will inform you."

Zhong Huan waved his hand, "Ask him to sit in the lobby, I'm just here to inquire about something!"

"General, please sit down in the lobby for a while, and the two of you should also sit down and drink some tea."

Zhong Huan took two of his men down to the lobby and sat down. The furnishings in the lobby were very Persian, with thick carpets, and there was a place for guests to rest and drink tea.

Zhong Huan and two of his subordinates sat down and sipped the hot Persian milk tea. The milk taste was very strong, and Zhong Huan liked the taste better.

At this time, Antu was led over by the shopkeeper. He knew that the other party was a high-ranking official of the inner guard, so he was a little nervous, so he bowed and saluted.

Chong Huan waved his hands and smiled: "Leader An, please sit down!"

Antu sat down in front of Zhong Huan with some anxiety, "I'm just a businessman, not looking for information for someone!"

Zhong Huan said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. If I suspected that you were an enemy spy, I wouldn't sit across from you."

Antu let go of his heart for a while, and Zhong Huan asked again: "Are you coming from Samarkand?"

"Exactly!"

"I want to know about the situation in Xiliao, can you tell me something?"

Antu nodded and said: "The Xiliao army defeated the 40 army of the Seljuk Empire three years ago, and turned around and swallowed the Eastern Black Khan the year before last. I heard that they fought against Gaochang Huihe last year. Half of the land of Gaochang Huihe was occupied. Yes, Xiliao is very powerful now, and even our Khwarazimo has surrendered to it."

"Is it still going west?"

Antu shook his head, "After Khwarazimo surrendered, Xiliao turned around and headed east. Otherwise, he would not have attacked Huihe in Gaochang. Now there is a saying that we heard everywhere when we passed by Xiliao."

"What do you say?"

"go home!"

Zhong Huan frowned, "What do you mean by going home?"

"Maybe it refers back to Liaodong! Xiliao has more than [-] Khitan elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Khitan people. They are the real pillars of the Xiliao Empire."

Zhong Huan was puzzled and asked, "Why are there so many Khitan troops and Khitan people in Xiliao?"

"I know this. I know a Khitan businessman in Xiliao. He told me that although the Liao Kingdom is gone, the Liao Kingdom still has [-] troops and hundreds of thousands of Khitan people in the northwest city of Kedun. The army was not allowed to return to Beijing easily, and Yelu Dashi was fulfilled. He led an army of [-] to the west, opened up territories there, and took hundreds of thousands of people there, which is now the Xiliao Kingdom. "

Zhong Huan smiled and said, "It's been almost 30 years since the Liao Kingdom perished! Those old soldiers from Ketun City are still there?"

"Many of those veterans have passed away, but some are still alive, including their descendants. It has always been their dream to go back to Liaodong, including their emperor. They couldn't do it before. Now that they are strong, they naturally want to go home."

……

On the way back from the Persian Inn, Zhong Huan was still thinking about this matter. His Royal Highness King Yong must have realized this possibility, so he paid special attention to Xi Liao. Now the Western Army has just wiped out the Kingdom of Jin. Once Xi Liao knows the news, Will they immediately embark on the Eastern Expedition?Kill back and seize Liaodong.

Will Xiliao become the most powerful enemy of Yong Kingdom again?Most threatening enemy?

Back at the office, Zhong Huan immediately reported to Wang Hao about his visit to Sogdian merchant Antu.

Wang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think Xiliao will also send spies to lurk in Jingzhao City to collect information?"

"I thought it was impossible before, but now I think it is very possible. Once Xiliao recognizes us as enemies, they will definitely collect information on the enemy's capital."

"Besides Jingzhao, where else do you think there is?"

Zhong Huan pondered for a while and said: "The humble official thinks Datong Mansion is very likely!"

"why?"

"Datong Mansion is the capital of the Liao Kingdom. It has been ruled by the Liao Kingdom for nearly a hundred years. The Yelu Dashi Society believes that Datong Mansion is their land. Moreover, there are many Khitan people in Datong Mansion, and even the prefect is also a Khitan man."

Wang Hao nodded, "You can write a report on today's visit! I will hand it over to the Internal Affairs Hall and suggest that they replace Datong officials."

……

During this time, the Internal Affairs Hall has been busy preparing for King Yong's enthronement, expanding the palace, building altars, creating auspicious signs, and setting up the ancestral temple. Of course, the ancestral temple can be traced back, and it can also start from King Yong. For example, the foundation was laid down by generations , then it is necessary to trace back.

But if you are a commoner, you can trace your ancestors, but you don’t need to trace them. The most typical is Liu Bang. After he ascended the throne, because his father was still alive, he respected his father Liu Taigong as the Supreme Emperor, and his grandfather did not posthumously.

Although everyone has been busy preparing for the enthronement, they have to let go of it these few days. The imperial examination is coming soon, and they are doing their best to prepare for the imperial examination.

In the meeting hall, five counselors are discussing the imperial examination. The imperial examination will be held in 20 days. The scale of the imperial examination this time is beyond everyone's expectations. The number of reference scholars has doubled compared with the previous one. In one session, 5 people participated in the imperial examination, but this time, more than 10 scholars came from all over the country.

Of course, a large number of people come to take the examinations of Mingjing and Guozixue. Mingjing is an official. Now it is very difficult to be an official. The low ones are not officials, but servants, such as yamen servants, archers, prison sons and so on.

In the past, it was also possible to enter the county government as a civil servant through connections, but now that kind of civil servant has no establishment, is of a temporary nature, and will be dismissed at any time. The degree of popularity has surpassed that of the Jinshi section. Only more than 2 people applied for the Jinshi section, while nearly 7 people applied for the Mingjing section.

There is also a background of the reform of official administration. The Ministry of Officials has expanded the appointment power of county officials from five to eight. Originally, there were only county magistrates, county magistrates, county lieutenants, county workers, and the boss. The power to appoint the officials in the county belongs to the Ministry of Officials, while the power to appoint the other six civil servants belongs to the county magistrate, but the state government has the right to review.

It is this right to review that even if a son of a wealthy family in the county finds a relationship to join the county government, he can only work as a temporary worker and cannot get an official establishment.

So everyone wants to get a formal establishment, so they can only go to the exam to get fame.

There is another position that can be used to eat the emperor's food, that is, the professor and teaching assistant of the state school and county school, but to be a professor or a teaching assistant, you must be from the Guozi school.

Guozixue is actually the highest normal college in Yongguo. After finishing their studies, they all go back to their hometowns to work as teaching assistants for their husbands, and then gradually become professors.

There are currently two Guozi Schools, one is Jingzhao Guozi School, and the other is Luoyang Guozi School. The two Guozi Schools have 500 students each year, so they have to recruit 500 people every year, so there are still 1 people left. Many scholars came to take the Guozixue admissions examination.

The five counselors discussed for a long time, and finally agreed that this year's admission scale will remain the same as last year, with [-] Jinshi, [-] Mingjing scholars and [-] Guozi students. As for the palace examination, they will still be presided over by the five of them at the same time.

There is no other way, His Royal Highness King Yong is not here, so the Internal Affairs Hall can only preside over the palace examination.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Lin'an City has been surrounded by [-] Western troops. After the news of the destruction of gold, Li Muqing and Lu Gui, the north and south generals who besieged Lin'an Mansion, immediately acted. , Northwest, Zhengxi, Southwest and Zhengnan five directions, set up five camps, of which Li Muqing was in charge of the three camps in the north and west, and Lu Gui was in charge of the two camps in the south and southwest.

This means that there is actually only one city left in Lin'an in the Wei Dynasty.
