A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 336 Li Zhi
Shuofang.

Liang Shidu has been executed, and the rest of the cities are almost determined by the rumors.

The tree fell and scattered.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Shuofang's sky changed. It was almost too late for Yang Gongren, Duan Decao, Duan Lun, Fan Xing, Li Xiuxing, and several chief executives to return to the teacher for a share.

They just turned around, but the follow-up news came one after another.

Under the three cities of Shuofang, Dejing descended, and Rulin, Zhenxiang, Funing, Kaiguang, Yincheng, and Liangu all descended.

Wu Huaiyu dispatched many light cavalry, led by Liang Luoren and others to surrender, every time they went to a place, the defenders opened the door to welcome them.

Xia Zhou.

Duan Decao, the governor of Xiazhou, just came back from Ningshuo, and was cleaning up the three cities, preparing to restore the Xiazhou government, but the angel of Chang'an had already arrived.

After listening to the will.

Duan Decao knew that his work was wasted.

"Congratulations Qingyang."

After Huaiyu heard the decree, he was very surprised. The achievement of destroying the country and beheading the king is not small, but after all, it was just a rebellion and surrender, not a direct attack. He predicted in his heart that he might be promoted to the first rank, and the probability of being named a county prince is very high .After all, like Xue Wanche, who fought in Longyou last year, he was also promoted to Duke of the county.

But this reward was quite unexpected.

Yi Guogong, Jia Shi sealed [-] households, Shangzhu Kingdom, Jin Ziguanglu doctor, Xiazhou governor, governor, and also has a bachelor's degree in Chongwendian, and the prince of the East Palace washes the horse.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

As Duan Decao, who has been on the same line with Liang Shi for ten years, he actually felt very uncomfortable seeing Wu Huaiyu's award.

He guarded the frontier for ten years and defeated Liang Shidu many times.

But in the end, Wu Huaiyu made up the last knife, and he won all the glory.

Although he also conferred the title of General Zuo Wuwei and was summoned to the court, but this is not a real reward, and it may even be the real surrender of Ming Sheng, cutting off the military power and real posts.

But although Duan Decao has been a soldier all his life, he is really no match for Wu Huaiyu. Although he only became an official last year, he voted for Mingzhu as soon as he got off the mountain.

How can he compare with this kind of side.

Master Liang died, and Duan Decao also completed his mission.

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

The emperor didn't let him stay in Xiazhou as the governor for a while, and he would sort out Xiazhou before leaving.

The emperor's will seemed a little impatient.

Duan De thinks about his age, his beard and hair are gray, so he doesn't understand.

No matter what thoughts you have in your mind, you have to obey the edict with a smile on your face at this moment.

Compared to Duan Decao's feeling of loss, Wu Huaiyu is really beautiful at this time.

Su Lie was also moved and happy for Wu Huaiyu, of course he was also honored, and he was also included in the emperor's reward decree.

Conferred the title of Baron of Linqing County, Jiazuo Wuhou Zhonglang General, and Sima of Xiazhou Dudufu.

Liu Lancheng, the former Sima of Xiazhou Dudufu, was the chief history of Jin Xiazhou Dudufu.

As for the former Chief Shi Liu Min, the former general of Liang Shidu has another appointment.

The former governor of Yanzhou, Shi Weisiren, was promoted to the governor of Suizhou, and Cheng Chumo will be the governor of Yinzhou.

All the officials and generals in Yanzhou have been rewarded this time.

Even a small officer like Hou San has been promoted by honor. When he was transferred from Longyou, he was only a team deputy, but now he has become a seventh-rank school lieutenant. Thinking about the ten years of military service for the imperial court, he was just a samurai. Marshal Lu, now that Hou San has caught up with the good times, the two battles in Longyou and Shuofang, and the rebellion in Binzhou Ping Luoyi, he has made a lot of contributions, and he has become the commander of Lu.

Zhao Xin, Chen Xing, Xu Siye, and Wu Junwei were all smiling.

And Huaiyu's subordinates Zhang Chengde and Liu Xu brought from the Donggongsi Economic Bureau were also promoted.

Duan Decao congratulated Wu Huaiyu, and then happily handed over the seal of the governor of Xiazhou to his nephew and grandson-in-law.

On the same day, Duan Decao went back to Chang'an.

He had been in the borderlands for ten years and was the commander in chief of one side, but this time when he came to Beijing, he did it with ease, without the slightest ostentation.Old Duan knew very well that in the frontiers, he used to command majestic military orders like a mountain, but when he entered Beijing, he was nothing.

He put his posture very low early on, just to show his attitude to the emperor.

······
Wu Huaiyu inspected Shuofang West City.

The west city was built by He Lianbo, and the east city was built later. As for the outer city, it has been continuously expanded. Most of the outer city is juxtaposed with the east and west cities, but some of them are thinly wrapped around the east and west cities. lap.

"When Helian built the Wancheng City, it was mainly built with reference to the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty."

Because Liang Shidu killed Liang Shidu anyway, he contributed to the city anyway, Liang Luoren was conferred the title of General You Xiaowei and Shuofang County Duke by the emperor.

"The west city is mainly composed of Miyagi, East Palace, Jongmyo Sheji and Yuanyuan. Miyagi is in the southwest, Donggong is in the southeast, Jongmyo Sheji is in the northeast, and Yuyuan is in the northwest,"

There are not only rockeries, lakes, gardens, but also other halls, nomadic tent areas, stables, and storage in the garden area.

There are a lot of good horses, grain and grass, equipment, and precious goods stored here, all of which are now filling the treasury of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the leadership of Liang Luoren and others, Wu Huaiyu and his party inspected the western city, and found that although it was much worse than the palace city and imperial city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, Liang Shidu had been in operation for ten years, and it was still relatively complete.

Especially the city wall system, the horse-faced enemy towers, turrets, city gates, urn city, etc. are very majestic. Back then, Duan Decao stopped under these strong city defenses in the west city.

It's a pity that such a strong city defense was not breached by the Tang army from the outside in the end, but was captured by Xin Liaoer's imperial guards from the inside.

Liang Shidu spent ten years of painstaking efforts to strengthen the west city, but in the end he failed to save his life. Even the large amount of money, good horses, armor, and food he had stored in the west city eventually fell into the hands of the Tang army.

The whole west city is majestic.

Its palaces and pavilions are even more amazing. There are such majestic buildings in this fortress.

Yong'an Palace was the grand palace of the Helian Dynasty back then, and Liang Shidu also restored it, and it is still named Yong'an Palace.

But at this time, the Yong'an Palace built on the Yong'an Terrace looked lonely.

Wu Huaiyu actually likes Xicheng, and also likes the palaces and pavilions here.

But the Northern Liang was destroyed, so the imperial palace could not be kept.

Everything seems presumptuous.

"Demolish all the usurped buildings, and use the demolished wood and stone to repair the houses."

In the three cities of Shuofang, Wu Huaiyu planned to demolish the west city of Liang Palace according to the imperial court's order, and retain the city defense system, but demolished all the palaces and so on.

"In the future, Xicheng will be used as a military city, where troops will be garrisoned, and it will also be used as a warehouse city to store armour, grain and grass."

"Dongcheng is the government office, official workshop area, school, and official residential area."

"The outer city is for markets, workshops, and residential areas."

Liang Luoren was a little distracted when he heard Wu Huaiyu's order.

He has devoted half of his life here, but now he wants to watch it all be destroyed.

The war is over, and Wu Huaiyu has become the governor of Xiazhou. He is now thinking about restoring people's livelihood.

Opening warehouses to distribute grain to the people, recruiting refugees to return to their hometowns, resuming production and grabbing autumn planting,
How happy Wu Huaiyu and others were to rob people before, but now it is a headache to restore people's livelihood.

He didn't expect that he would become the governor of Xiazhou in the end.

Lingqing Yanyan's five-way attack has already moved tens of thousands of people from Shuofang. This is a real blow to Shuofang, which has a small population.

It's not all bad, of course.

Just like when he arrived in Yanzhou, the population of the four states of Xiazhou has dropped sharply now. The advantage is that there is a large amount of unowned land, which can be distributed to the remaining people, and even sold part of the land in exchange for funds to invest in other areas.

"Mobilize the people of Shuofang City to come and move the palaces in the west city, build the barracks in the army city, repair the outer city of the east city, and provide relief with work,"

Relief from work can quickly stabilize a large number of refugees. As long as these hungry Shufang people can have something to eat, this will solve most of the troubles.

Wu Huaiyu gave Liu Lancheng, Liang Luoren, and Xin Liaoer a mission.

Screening of the pseudo-Liang officials and generals.

The so-called discrimination naturally means to treat them differently.For example, Liang Luoren, Xin Liaoer, etc., these are people who have surrendered anyway, and they are considered meritorious.

But there are still many Liang Guo officials who were captured and surrendered, so it is naturally different. These people should be carefully screened, and if they are really capable, they can be used according to the situation.

And there are still some people, mainly the relatives and clans of Liang Shidu, or his confidantes such as Liang Sui, who definitely cannot be treated preferentially.

They were supposed to be killed.

However, Wu Huaiyu, as the governor of Xiazhou, also has the duty of consolation. He still advocates killing less people, but not killing does not mean that they will not be held accountable.

The royal property of Liang Shidu, as well as the properties of Liang officials and generals such as Lu Jilan and Liang Sui, were basically confiscated.

In this, there will definitely be many powerful local snakes in the Shuofang involved.

This is a round of aboveboard reshuffling, and it is also an important means to ensure the change of power.

All are necessary.

The cleansed land, money and even the population will become the basis for Datang Xiazhou Governor's Mansion to control and govern Shuofang.

This kind of shuffling, of course, will not be gentle.

It is natural to have dirty hands in charge of this matter.

Let Chang Shi Liu Lan be the leader, and Liang Luoren and the others should follow. Firstly, Liu Lancheng is a cultured old hooligan, very ruthless. He has this ability. Liang Luoren and the others are familiar with the situation in Shuofang, and of course they have to borrow their hands. To get rid of those people, this is also to let Liang Luoren submit more certificates.

Liu Lancheng didn't hesitate about Wu Huaiyu's arrangement, he knew it was not easy, but he smiled happily, as if he couldn't wait to enjoy the process.

"Liu Changshi, remember to be fair."

Wu Huaiyu reminded him not to act recklessly, and not to take the opportunity to embezzle and so on.

Xicheng, the palace city of Daxia and Daliang, became the city of the Tang Dynasty.

Those majestic and magnificent palaces and palaces will all be demolished, and Wu Huaiyu's Xiazhou Dudu Mansion will be located in Dongcheng.

It used to be the office of the Prime Minister of Liang Guodu Province.

Now they will also undergo a round of comprehensive rectification, and everything that violates the system will be removed and re-edited.

Yanzhou governor's yamen didn't last long, and now they have to stay in Shuofang again.

Just as Duan Wan was sent back to Yanzhou, Wu Huaiyu asked Duan Shen to pick her up, asking him to pick up Fan Wuniang, Fan Shiniang, Gao Yanzhi, and Cao Shisanniang.

"The corn and potatoes in Yanzhou are about to mature," Huaiyu sighed.

"It's just autumn, and this year we can grow wheat, potatoes, rapeseed, radishes, etc."

Wu Huaiyu didn't expect too much to sow grain in autumn. Most of the seeds planted in autumn will have to be harvested next summer.

The biggest problem in Shuofang today is that the Liang division has been separated for so many years, and they have been fighting for a long time. In addition, the remoteness and backwardness have caused the people's livelihood to decline and the population to drop sharply. This attack has also lost a large number of people.

Tens of thousands of people have been relocated, and it is impossible to get them back now.

Furthermore, livestock also lost a lot.

This winter, it will be a big problem to feed the people of Shuofang. If it is not handled properly, a large number of people in Shuofang may go south to beg for food.

The people became refugees and went south, and then the population will be even smaller, a vicious circle.

"In addition to rushing to sow and replant wheat in autumn, we should also consider using our resources in Shuofang, such as salt farms and other mines, to attract investment and mining, so that the people in Shuofang can also have a way to make money, and our yamen can also have a tax,
What’s more, we should set up a border market just like we did in Yanzhou, and let’s trade with the Turkic people as soon as possible.”

If the food cannot be grown, then find a way to make money to buy food.

It is unrealistic to rely solely on the court's grants, and we still have to rely on our own efforts to save ourselves.

Those that should be cleaned should be cleaned as soon as possible, but production must still be resumed after cleaning, and the industry and commerce must be revitalized.

Although these sounds are very difficult now, but the emperor has given Wu Huaiyu such a generous reward and such great trust, Wu Huaiyu can't give up.

Not only did he have to hold on, but he also had to get things done.

After a busy day at work, at night, Wu Huaiyu could concentrate on reading letters from his father, wives and concubines, and friends.

Xuanfu gave birth to him a fat boy who weighed six catties and four liang full-term, and his father named him Chengsi.

Wu Chengsi and Huaiyu frowned when they heard the name, but his father had already named him, so he couldn't say no.Ma Zhou and his eldest sister wrote to congratulate him on becoming a father, and also congratulate him on being promoted to Duke Yi.

Qin Qiong, who was recuperating in Bailuyuan, wrote him a letter, and was very excited about his appointment as Duke Yi.Li Jing also wrote to him, admiring his performance in Shuofang, but there was one incident mentioned in Li Jing's letter, which made Huaiyu feel a little heavy.

Li Sanniang was brought back to Chang'an by Li De Award, but Li Sanniang couldn't let go of her thoughts after all, and finally went to Zhongnan Mountain to become a monk and became a Taoist nun. Li Jing and Zhang Chuchen couldn't stop her, and she would commit suicide if she was not allowed to become a monk. .

Wu Huaiyu was also very helpless about this matter, but after all, it happened because of him, and his heart was very heavy.

Cheng Chumo also wrote a letter, this guy is very excited, he finally wants to come to join us, this guy has successfully obtained the post of governor of Yinzhou, the letter is full of embarrassment, and more of it is jealousy of Wu Huaiyu, who keeps saying that he is a dog Shit luck or something.

Looking at these unremarkable words, Huaiyu is also looking forward to this guy.

Fan Xuanfu's letters were full of Wu Chengsi. She gave her son the nickname Yuanbao, because he was born at six catties and four liang, which happened to be the weight of a Tongtongbao, so she took the nickname Yuanbao.

The letter paper is full of ingots, what's the matter, what's the matter, it can be seen that she has no postpartum depression, she is full of happiness, and she doesn't even worry too much about her husband when he is away. I think back then I chased my lover all the way to Longyou, and now we are parting For half a year, I didn't mention when I would go home.

Fan Xuanfu was also very generous and didn't care about Wu Huaiyu taking Cao Shisanniang and Duan Qiniang as concubines in Shuofang.

The emperor also wrote many letters to Wu Huaiyu.

One letter even said that the queen was pregnant, if the child was a daughter, then Wu Chengsi would be the princess, and if it was a prince, Wu Chengsi would be the attendant.

Wu Huaiyu counted the time, the queen is pregnant now, and she is going to be born in the second year of Zhenguan. This child is most likely to be the Tang Gaozong Li Zhi in history.

Wu Yuanbao's chances of becoming a son-in-law are very slim, but it is very likely that he will become Li Zhi's attendant.

But now he is also the crown prince Xima, the prince Chengqian, and the owner of the Chongwen Palace, but his own son is going to be Li Zhi's attendant?
The father and son will serve their brothers in the future?
Wu Huaiyu looked at a portrait of her son that Fan Xuanfu sent along with the letter, and had to say that the painting was quite cute.

Looking at this big fat boy with thick head and tiger brain, Wu Huaiyu couldn't help smiling. He really wanted to go back to Chang'an at this time, to see his son, hug and kiss him, and condolences to his wife.

But he can only stay outside the Great Wall thousands of miles away.

In the end, I could only turn my thoughts and love into words on paper under the lamp and send them back to Chang'an.

Yuanbao, Wu Chengsi.

Huaiyu pasted his son's portrait on the screen beside the couch, the cuter he looked, the more he liked it.
