Han Dao world

Chapter 1176 Year-end Summary
"The emperor and queen are here!"

With Taichang's loud cry, the banquet began. All the ministers who were chatting returned to their positions, straightened their clothes, and stood upright, waiting for the emperor and empress to attend.

It was the first time for many people to attend such an occasion, especially those women who came with their husbands, who were too nervous to breathe.

Yang Biao's eyes were moist, and his nose was even more sour.

Fast forward ten years.Since being forced to move westward, the imperial court has not held a ceremony of this scale.Now that the world is in peace, the matter of etiquette should also be put on the agenda.

Although today's New Year's Eve meeting is lively, there are many irregularities. In the future, I will find an opportunity to advise the emperor.

Thinking of this, Yang Biao couldn't help thinking of Xun Yu.

One of the purposes of Xun Yu's visit was to discuss rites, and I don't know how he talked with the emperor.

After a while, amidst the sound of drums, Xun Wenqian took the lead, followed by Zhen Mi and Qiao's sisters, who stopped on the east side and turned to face the door.

Ma Yunlu, Lu Xiaohuan and two bearded beauties followed closely behind, stood still on the west side, and also turned to look at the door.

When Yang Biao and others saw it, they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

These nobles and beauties belong to both the East and the West.At least in the Emperor's Harem, Kanto and Kansai have coexisted harmoniously.The queen was born in a Confucian family, which also met the wishes of the Confucian family.

It can be seen from this that although the emperor introduced many new policies, he did not pay much attention to many details, but he was still careful about the fundamental issues.

At this time, Liu Xie took Fushou's hand and walked out slowly.

One shout too often. "The emperor and empress arrived, and all the ministers greeted—"

The hussar general Zhang Ji who was standing at the front of the group of officials immediately bowed his hands and said loudly: "The ministers congratulate His Majesty the Emperor and Your Highness the Empress, long live!"

He was a little nervous, and his voice was a little trembling, making it hard to imagine that he was once a brave and murderous Xiliang warlord.

In contrast, Mrs. Zou beside him was calmer.

All the ministers followed Zhang Ji, bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison.

"The ministers congratulate His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress Long live, long live, long live!"

"Everyone is flat." Liu Xie nodded slightly, stretched out his hands, and made a gesture of false support, his majestic gaze swept over the officials.

Empress Fushou nodded with a smile, her gentle eyes swept across everyone's faces, making everyone feel that the emperor and empress had seen them.

After the ceremony, everyone was seated.

Liu Xie said a few words on the occasion, then signaled Taichang, and proceeded to the next procedure.

Too often call again: "Minister report!"

Taiwei Jia Xu got up and reported on the military situation this year, focusing on military reform.

Except for Jiaozhou and the southern part of Yizhou, the other states have basically been pacified, and the generals of all ministries have gradually shifted from wartime status to normal guarding.This year, the enlistment system has been reformed, the conscription system and the autumn and winter review system have been restored, and the advantages of the enlistment system have been retained. The elite are selected from the conscripts to form a standing army.

Since then, conscripts have received basic military training and undertaken local security tasks, basically without leaving the county, or even completing their service within the county.After the three-year service is over, you can return to the industry, and you can do one-month training every three years.

The standing soldiers are separated from production, and they focus on daily training, guarding the capital and major strategic locations, and are responsible for major combat tasks during wartime.

This system has just been implemented, and it is still in the trial stage. The first trial targets are more than [-] people under the command of Hussar General Zhang Ji.These people have been diverted, and about [-] elites stayed in their posts to be recruited into the standing army. More than [-] people were arranged to serve as county captains, county captains, and pavilion chiefs to assist the local area in managing the military and maintaining local law and order.

The remaining more than [-] people were demobilized and assigned land. From then on, they were disarmed and returned to the fields to cultivate with peace of mind.

Considering the lack of land in Liangzhou, more than half of the people were arranged in Guanzhong and Kanto, and less than [-]% of them actually returned to Liangzhou.

Among the [-] people, more than [-] people have military exploits, but they are not suitable for senior military positions.According to the latest system, the corresponding military merits are awarded, and they stay in the army to serve as instructors and other positions, passing on their combat experience to recruits, but assume management functions.

After Jia Xu's report, Liu Xie commented a few words, especially thanking Hussar General Zhang Ji.

Without Zhang Ji's cooperation, it would not be an easy task to disband the [-] Xiliang soldiers smoothly.

Although Zhang Ji was suffering in his heart, his face was full of smiles.Being able to be the leader of the officials and above the Sangong on such an occasion, he can be regarded as a successful cleanser, and he will no longer have to worry about the emperor's reckoning.

Zhang Ji got up, thanked the emperor, and said impassionedly that this is what a minister should do.

The other ministers were also very happy when they heard this.

With the example of Zhang Ji, it will be a reference for the removal of the military power of other Xiliang generals in the future, and Dong Zhuo's influence will gradually be eliminated.

Although Dong Zhuo has been dead for nearly ten years, his influence has not been eliminated.

After Taiwei, Situ Mansion began to report the situation.

The first thing is the counting situation of each county this year.

With the recovery of Yizhou, the military pressure in the Southwest was greatly reduced.Thanks to Zhang Ji and Shi Sunrui's cultivation of fields after they invaded Yizhou last year, Berkshire, Guanghan and other counties caught up with the spring plowing, so Yizhou's harvest this year is particularly gratifying, which has played a positive role in alleviating the government's finances. effect.

Secondly, the harvests of the counties in Jingzhou are also very good this year. Among them, the commercial tax in Nanyang County has doubled compared to last year. Wancheng has surpassed Chang'an, Handan, and Anyi to become the city with the highest tax revenue.

Jizhou continues to make great strides this year. Although the improvement rate is not as good as that of Jingzhou, the absolute value is not low.

Yanyu and Yuzhou followed closely behind, with gratifying stamina, and the momentum of catching up is very obvious.

Qingzhou and Xuzhou are also recovering, but the population loss is too large, and no obvious effect has been seen yet.

In the end, Yang Biao criticized Liangzhou.

The development of Liangzhou in the past two years has been weak. Both the growth rate and the actual volume have fallen far short of before.If the business tax is stripped, the development of Liangzhou has stagnated only in terms of local agriculture and animal husbandry.

After Yang Biao finished speaking, he looked back at Yang Xiu with a stern expression.

Everyone smacked their tongues secretly.

This Hongnong Yang family really has a stern and selfless family tradition. If Yang Biao wants to stand up, he must use his own son first.

Everyone's emotion is not over yet, Yang Xiu came out. "Your Majesty, I take the liberty to speak out and reply to Situ's criticism."

Liu Xie nodded. "Say."

Yang Xiu bowed again, then turned to Yang Biao, bowed his hands and saluted. "Situ, Xiu thought the court was unfair to Liangzhou."

Everyone was stunned.

Although the scene of the father-son court battle is good-looking, it can't be easy to see this.Yang Biao was only dissatisfied with Liangzhou's governance achievements, and did not criticize Yang Xiu himself by name. As a son of man, Yang Xiu bluntly opposed Situ's opinions, which was really unexpected.

In an instant, many people became energetic, and even Chen Qun, who was huddled in a corner and dared not say a word, straightened his body and listened attentively.

Yang Biao's gray eyebrows raised lightly, and he stretched out his hand calmly, signaling Madam Yuan not to speak.

This is the court, they are not only father and son, but also the superior-subordinate relationship between Situ and the sheriff, it is normal to have disputes.

"Prefect, please speak."
