Tokyo City was the most prosperous metropolis in the world at the beginning of the twelfth century.

Although there have been many heavy snowfalls this winter, and Tokyo City has been fighting for several months, the thoroughfare is still spotless, not even a single snowflake can be seen.

Don't think about it, Li Yan also knows that someone must have cleaned this place.

Li Yan reined in his horse, and then asked Li Zhu, Tang Ke and others beside him: "Who cleaned the streets?"

Li Zhudao: "Master Wang Shiyong thought of this matter, and Master Xu Bingzhe led people to clean it himself."

Li Yan nodded and said, "Let the two of them come to see me alone."

Not far away, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe were overjoyed when they heard this. They worked hard to "dedicate their loyalty" to Li Yan and Xinchao, and finally got the corresponding reward.

Sometimes, you have to admit that traitors also have benefits, especially those capable traitors.

Take Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe as examples.

After Chai Jin, Chen Xizhen, Wu Song and others took Bianliang City unexpectedly, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe made great contributions to keeping Bianliang City and stabilizing the situation of Bianliang City.

Not to mention, Wang Shiyong also helped Li Yan force the former Song officials to stand in line and recruited countless talents for Li Yan.

Moreover, Wang Shiyong was very clever in dedicating to Li Yan all the dharma books, gold and silver silk, rare treasures and other things that were originally intended to be dedicated to the Jinren—this is a large amount of wealth. Even at least enough for Li Yan to fight for a year or two.

In addition, Wang Shiyong also gave Li Yan a big gift.

Wang Shiyong followed the records of Yuanfeng Treasury and Daguan Treasury in the internal collection, followed the clues, found all the treasures in the various treasuries of Da Nei, and then sealed and compiled a lot of them, and dedicated them all to Li Yan.

At the same time, Wang Shiyong boldly came to the two palaces of Longde, and sealed up all the treasures and rare objects that Zhao Ji usually collected, and dedicated them all to Li Yan.

The treasures in the treasuries of Da Nei are too complicated, so I won’t talk about them, only the treasures collected by Zhao Ji.

As we all know, Zhao Ji usually likes playing with treasures, but most of the people have no way of knowing what kind of treasures he plays with, even if there are ministers and prime ministers, they don't know.

It wasn't until Wang Shiyong led people to search for these treasures and reported the list to Li Yan that Li Yan knew how amazing Zhao Ji's collection was.

There are thousands of calligraphy and paintings of famous people—in peaceful times, the cheapest of these calligraphy and paintings would be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Xihai Yezhu, Wang Zhongzheng and Chen Tuan burned gold, as well as other real pearls, beautiful jade, coral, agate, colored glaze, flower rhinoceros, and tortoiseshell, each counting in the thousands.

Wang Shiyong makes a rough count:
420 and three catties of real pearls, 620 and three catties of jade, six hundred catties of coral, 130 catties of agate, forty catties of northern pearls, 840 Xihai Yezhu, 460 catties of cinnabar, fifteen thousand catties of crystals, Rhinoceros 120 jin, ivory 140 jin, borneol 420 jin, gold brick 22 leaves, Mr. Wang burnt gold, Chen Tuan burnt gold, Goryeo Jin Bongsheng gold, six pairs of Jiagold helmets, Jin Dian, Golden horse ladle, golden pestle knife, 120 five pairs of gold zippers, 350 pairs of jade zippers, flowered rhinoceros belts, gold belts, gold belts, jade belts, gold-plated belts, goldfish bags, etc., forty guan coins and silver coins shared by the emperor Eighty guan, the emperor shared [-] guan of money, [-] guan of silver money, the queen shared [-] guan of money, [-] guan of silver money, [-] silver stoves, four gold stoves, one hundred and twenty gold tables, and twenty silver chairs There are forty golden pots of different sizes, four golden water buckets, eight hundred pairs of gold pans and cups, twenty pairs of gold bowls, uncountable gold and silver spoons, twenty golden soup vases, and one thousand and two hundred glazed cups. There are [-] glass holders, [-] coral holders, [-] manao holders, [-] pearl fans, [-] red fans, [-] blue fans, [-] Xingluan fans, and [-] large fans. Ten together, one hundred fans.

It can be said that with these things, Li Yan will no longer have to worry about rewarding ministers, generals, and concubines in the future.

Although Wang Shiyong's character is not very good, his achievements are real and extremely dazzling.

Li Yan is no longer the little angry young man he was when he first transmigrated.

After so many years of experience, Li Yan is already a very mature politician.

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Yan to appoint an official based on an official's historical commentary.

Rewards and punishments are not just talk.

Especially at a time like this.

Now, many people are staring at Wang Shiyong who is the most outstanding performer, wanting to see how Li Yan repays Wang Shiyong's "loyalty".

If Li Yan didn't reuse Wang Shiyong, it would definitely chill the hearts of many new investors, and no one would dare to "show loyalty" to Li Yan, and then something might happen.

In short, Li Yan must reuse Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe and others, at least at the current stage.

The imperial city is located slightly northwest of the center of Bianliang City, and it is the central nervous system of the Song Dynasty.

Its area is not large, with a circumference of only five miles, and there are more than forty palaces of various sizes inside.

Compared with the imperial cities of the Han, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial city of the Northern Song Dynasty is indeed a bit narrow.

From south to north, the imperial city can be roughly divided into three districts: south, middle and north.

In the Southern District, there are central government offices such as Zhongshu Province, Privy Council, Dutang, Menxia Province, Xiuguo History Academy, etc., with a total of about [-] houses.

In the central area, there is the magnificent Daqing Hall (the place where the imperial court held grand ceremonies), Wende Hall (the palace where the emperor used to govern daily), Zichen Hall, Chuigong Hall, Chongzheng Hall, Jiying Hall, Baohe Hall, Ruisi Palace, etc., each palace has its own different functions.

The northern area is the restricted area of ​​the harem, that is, the living area of ​​the emperor and concubines, outsiders are not allowed to set foot.

The main entrance of the imperial city faces south and is called Xuande Building. In front of the building is a square where large-scale gatherings can be held.

At this moment, the square is densely packed with civil and military officials of the original Song Dynasty and representatives of monks, Taoists, soldiers and civilians from all walks of life.

These people are not qualified to meet Li Yan yet, so they can only wait here.

After all, once the emperor and the courtiers, whether Li Yan will use them or not is still a matter of two opinions.

After Li Zhu introduced these people to Li Yan in a low voice, Li Yan said loudly to them: "Since I come, no one will dare to disturb my Han people. You can live and work in peace and contentment in the future. The reason for the demise of the Song Dynasty is because the monarch is incompetent and unable to do it." I will not make this mistake by digging and selecting excellent talents to govern the country. I will reactivate the former Song Dynasty officials according to your past achievements and reputation. In addition, there is a lot of waste to be done now, and talents are urgently needed, so I decided, one month later, Open one Enke, open another Enke after three months, and open another Enke after half a year to select talents for the country... It's getting late today, and I'm new here, everyone will go back for now, and there will be a clear list in a few days The text tells you to wait."

Hearing from Li Yan that he was going to use the officials of the old Song Dynasty, and he called Enke three times in a row to select talents. Those who are interested in official careers are determined.

The Song Dynasty is dead, and Li Yan is currently the most suitable person to be the new emperor, and Li Yan is so reasonable, the key is that most of them are not the kind of people who can be buried with Zhao Song.

Therefore, the civil and military officials of the original Song Dynasty and representatives from all walks of life in the monk, Taoist, military and civil society saluted and thanked each other.

Policy is something that cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Furthermore, the imperial city is very close at hand, Li Yan does not want, and it is impossible, to waste too much time here - in fact, Li Yan's heart has already flown into the imperial palace, onto his dragon chair.

Therefore, Li Yan planned to exempt the civil and military officials of the original Song Dynasty and representatives of monks, Taoists, military and civilian society from all walks of life, and then enter the imperial city.

But at this moment, an extremely discordant voice appeared: "My lord, Qin Hui has a word of advice!"
