Before Li Yan went to bed.

Zhu Lian and Katrina Kaif called hundreds of people in for Li Yan to choose the servants for tonight.

This has only recently become popular.

This can also be said to be the obvious manifestation of gang formation in the harem.

In this regard, Li Yan has no good solution.

It is the nature of the Chinese people to form cliques.

Furthermore, since there was no way for Li Yan to favor only one or two women, all the women naturally hoped that Li Yan would also favor those close to her. In that case, she would be able to help more in the harem.

Not only did Zhu Lian and the others do this, even the empress Liu Huiniang was not exempt.

Not long ago, Liu Huiniang brought Liu Qi's daughter, Liu Huiniang's niece, into the palace and recommended it to Li Yan.

For Liu Huiniang's sake, even though the girl was only thirteen, Li Yan also accepted her, and gave her a graceful starting point.

Therefore, as long as these women in the harem don't do too much and don't touch Li Yan's bottom line, Li Yan will turn a blind eye and let them toss.

Li Yan is a person who misses old love, so Li Yan first singled out Concubine Zhu Shende, Zheng Qingyun, Di Yuhui and other people who had been fortunate before, and gave them more opportunities.

Then, Li Yan singled out Zhemeifeng, Zhemeiluan, Zheyuexiu, Zheyueru, Zheyuezhi, Zheyuemei and other members of the Zhejia family——Recently, Liu Kai and Han Shizhong have already fought Taiyuan is here, and Taiyuan is the most important town in Hedong. Therefore, the Jin people resisted very resolutely. The two sides are near Taiyuan. He called on Han'er to rise up against the rule of the Jin people and fight guerrilla attacks with the Jin people, and the Zhe family, who were seated in the east of the river, made a lot of effort in this matter and deserved an award.Furthermore, Zhe Meifeng and other girls are also good-looking.Therefore, Li Yan had to accept these girls from Zhe's family both in public and in private.

Then, Li Yan picked out two of Zhu Lian's maids—these two maids circled around Zhu Lian every day, and Li Yan naturally knew them. Do you know that Zhu Lian hopes that Li Yan accepts them, and this face, Li Yan has to give Zhu Lian no matter what, otherwise Zhu Lian will not be able to take charge of the Song Palace. In that case, the Song Palace will be chaotic, and Li Yan It will also cause a lot of troubles.Furthermore, Zhu Lian's two maids were originally selected by Zhu Lian, carefully cultivated, and used to help her stabilize the status of queen. Therefore, their talents, appearance and character are the top choices, which is rare Good woman, Li Yan has no reason not to.

Then, Li Yan picked out Zheng Qingyun's twin sisters—to be honest, Li Yan had been thinking about the identical twins for some time, but he never had the right opportunity to accept them. I was so excited that I just accepted them.

After that, Li Yan picked five or six more favorites.

At this time, Li Yan saw the maid surnamed Wang.

Zheng Qingyun guessed it right.

The charm of the maid surnamed Wang, to be precise, should be that coquettish and charming, which made Li Yan's eyes shine.

Therefore, Li Yan also kept the maid surnamed Wang.

For the rest, Li Yan waved his hand and told them to go down first—they can only wait for the next opportunity.

This night, dragons and snakes danced wildly, and Li Yan fought in all directions at night...

……

In the morning of the next day, Li Yan, who was refreshed, got up early, and then had breakfast with Zhu Lian, Zhe Miaomiao and others, and then went to the school to practice martial arts for a while.

When it was Chen time, Li Yan received his merits and went to the morning court.

As usual, today was a lot of work.

For example, the Jin people sent [-] troops to reinforce Liaodong and Yanyun. Wu Jie was defeated and retreated to Liaodong to defend. Wan Yanxie would also personally lead an army to reinforce Yanyun and Pingzhou.

For example, Song Jiang Zhang's guerrillas had expanded to 20, which seriously threatened the security of Dazhong.

For example, the newly recovered area was seriously short of food, and local officials asked the court to allocate food as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. Among them, Hedong and Hebei were the most urgent, and the two places are now almost hell on earth.

For example, the Yellow River has not been cleared for several years in the Northern Song Dynasty, and we must beware of the Yellow River bursting its embankments during the flood season and causing a catastrophe.

For example, the conflict between the Mon people and the Dai people has intensified, and now it has reached the point where fire and water cannot be tolerated. The disadvantaged Mon people, that is, a group of Mon countries dominated by the Luopati country, asked the Dazhong to intervene , To suppress the aggression of the country built by a group of Dai people headed by Queen Kingdom.

For example, Xixia asked to send envoys to congratulate Li Yan for establishing Dazhong.

For example, the Dali Kingdom, which had been avoided before, now actively wants to trade with the Central South counties.

and many more……

And these are just big things, there are more small things.

In this regard, Li Yan's principle is to focus on the big and let go of the small.

All the small things are handed over to the chief executives to deal with, and I only need the result.

For major events, Li Yan personally participated in the discussions and even made decisions in person.

finally--

Golden reinforcements.

Under Li Yan's insistence, the imperial court chose to believe in the judgment of the frontline generals——Liu Kai, Han Shizhong, and Yue Feire wanted reinforcements, so they immediately sent reinforcements to them.On the contrary, if Liu Kai, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei don't mention reinforcements, let them go.

In order to ensure that reinforcements could be dispatched in the shortest possible time, the imperial court asked Wang Yan and the [-] elite army to stop land reclamation and stand by, ready to go out at any time.

In addition, the imperial court also ordered Yang Yizhong to slow down the pace of recovering Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei and other places, leaving [-] elites on standby at any time.

Zhang Suo's guerrillas expanded to 20.

In addition to sending another [-] Qingqi to prevent these guerrillas from invading various places, at Li Yan's insistence, the imperial court also ordered local governments and military intelligence departments to screen and recruit these guerrillas and give them a chance to fight back.

Food shortages in newly recovered areas.

At Li Yan's insistence, the imperial court allocated 300 million shi of grain from Tokyo's granary for emergency.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yan appointed generals in person, appointed Chen Kangbo as the transfer envoy of the capital, and Hu Shiwei as the deputy envoy of the capital transfer, using all the resources that Dazhong could use at present, from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and even Central South to the Central Plains. Transport food, relief victims.

Among all the things, the one that gave Li Yan the most headache was Huang He.

It is no exaggeration to say that the demise of the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty had a lot to do with the Yellow River, and even the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty had a certain relationship with the Yellow River.

Taking this into consideration, and after listening to the analysis and propositions of the ministers, Li Yan decided to make three preparations. The first one was to invest 1 million yuan (through) to clean up the Yellow River along the water (Li Yan is not the kind of king and minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is a foolish thing to change the direction of the Yellow River), the second is to relocate people from areas that are prone to disasters, and the last is to prepare for the relief of people on both sides of the Yellow River from now on.

As for the matters concerning the Indochina Peninsula, Li Yan waved his hand and handed everything over to Wang Lun and others.

This is also impossible.

First of all, it is too far away, so far away that the imperial court is really beyond reach.

Secondly, there are too many things in the Central Plains, so much that Li Yan can't take care of the counties and Zhuluo counties on the Indochina Peninsula.

Therefore, Li Yancai handed over all the matters there to Wang Lun and others.

As for the dispatch of Xixia's envoy, it is a good thing for Dazhong - at present, Dazhong can be said to be under attack from both sides, and it is of course a good thing to be able to temporarily stabilize Xixia.

As for the recovery of Xixia in the future, any treaty signed now can be torn up for any reason. Isn't this the case throughout the ages.
