"Hou Jing surrendered to us, everyone, let's have a discussion."

Yu Wentai discusses recent international events with a group of staff.

Not long ago, Gao Yang wanted to directly govern Shandong Road and deprive Hou Jing of his military power, causing Hou Jing to directly rebel.

After the rebellion, Hou Jing captured the counties and counties in Henan Province of Qi State with lightning speed, fought all the way to Luoyang, and then asked Yu Wentai for help.

"Hou Jing is capricious and rebellious by nature. He rebelled in Wei State, Yan State, and Qi State again. This person must not be accepted."

"Whether Hou Jing is rebellious or not is not important. The important thing is that we can seize the opportunity to seize Luoyang and other places."

"Our country has conquered Liangzhou in recent years, and the people's livelihood is exhausted. They should rest and recuperate, and there should be no further wars."

"If you can't miss the opportunity, don't come again. How can you just watch the fat and not eat it?"

"You can send a small number of elite cavalry to support Hou Jing. If you can get Luoyang, it will be very good. Even if you can't get it, the loss will not be too big. This is a small gain!"

After arguing, Yu Wentai decided to send two thousand cavalry to support Hou Jing, and took Luoyang and other places occupied by Hou Jing into his pocket.

at the same time
Jiankang
"Send troops northward immediately to support Hou Jing!"

"I, will become the eternal emperor who regains the Central Plains!"

"The name goes down in history, right in front of you!"

Compared with the collective wisdom and efforts of the Chang'an court, the Jiankang court was very monotonous. The courtiers did not have the slightest right to speak, and it was completely Xiao Yan's opinion.

Hou Jing not only asked for help from the Chang'an court, but also from the Jiankang court. What he was paying attention to was a risk hedging. In case one party refused to support, another party would support it.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that both parties were willing to support him, even if both parties knew that his character was not good.

It seems that under the lure of the fat meat of the land of Henan, those who are not of good character have been automatically ignored by those rulers.

another few months later

Yuwentai's [-] cavalry arrived in Luoyang earlier because of the closer distance. Together with Hou Jing's own trilogy, they repelled the Qi army that came to encircle and suppress.

However, at this time, before Yu Wentai asked Hou Jing to pay Luoyang City as a reward, Liang Guo's reinforcements also arrived in Luoyang.

In order to keep Luoyang, Hou Jing made a plan and even joined forces with Liang Guo's army to attack Yuwentai's elite cavalry who were having fun in Luoyang city.

Yuwentai's soldiers were suddenly attacked, and the whole army was wiped out. They never dreamed that they would die in the hands of their ally Hou Jing.

He ran all the way to support Hou Jing, but was attacked by Hou Jing.

But soon, Qi's second encirclement and suppression came, and the scale was even bigger.

Obviously, they did not expect Hou Jing to have reinforcements last time, so they sent fewer troops and refused to come out in full force, fearing that Rouran would sneak attack from the rear. Now that they knew that Hou Jing had reinforcements, they could only come out in full force.

At the critical moment, Xiao Yan started to make trouble again with a small and broad mind.

He wanted to take advantage of Qi's internal turmoil to regain the Central Plains, but he also didn't want to lose his own strength, so he counted on Hou Jing to fight with Qi to lose both sides, and then Xiao Yan finally came out to reap the benefits.

But Hou Jing was not stupid. Seeing Liang Guo’s army sticking to the Luoyang defense line, he refused to take the initiative to attack. He waited for Hou Jing to fight with Qi’s army, so he resolutely abandoned the land of Shandong and ran to Luoyang’s defense line to defend together.

Qi State and Liang State fought near Luoyang, and Yu Wentai also gathered troops to station in Tongguan, always observing the battle in Luoyang, and prepared to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Hou Jing, Gao Yang, Yu Wentai, Xiao Yan, and all forces concentrated their energy, troops, manpower, and material resources near Luoyang, and fought in the center of the world.

On the Luoyang battlefield, there were 2 Hou Jingbuqu, 3 Yuwentai's army, 10 Liang's army, and 15 Qi's army. A total of 30 people fought in a melee near Luoyang.

When the news of the Luoyang melee reached Yan State, Yan Ji had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to regain Shandong Road.

Yandu (Xindu/Yutu City)
"After recovering Shandong Road, no matter if it is a guild or an aristocrat, they can freely buy population in Shandong Road, and get the population to open up wasteland overseas."

Before recovering Shandong Road, Yan Ji should demote the people of Shandong Road into land reclamation slaves in advance, and allow all nobles and guilds to freely buy slaves to open up wasteland in Shandong Road.

Reclaiming wasteland is the national policy of Yan State. The Wang family has been reclaiming wasteland since before the founding of the state, and it is still reclaiming wasteland after the founding of the state.

The false farming style, farming for decades, and then fighting for hegemony in the world.

The real farming flow has been open up wasteland for 700 years, and it is still open up wasteland now.

The land reclamation of Yan State is mainly concentrated on [Hurricane Island (New Guinea Island)]. This large island is ravaged by hurricanes all year round. At first, this island was named after himself by the explorer who discovered this island.

In the country of Yan, there are some rangers who are unwilling to work and earn money to support their families. The country of Yan condones land annexation, so the powerful and gentry can annex land aboveboard, and there is no need for them to be white gloves. Therefore, they have become explorers, looking for undiscovered islands, minerals, civilizations, tribes, plains, etc., as long as they are reported to the court and confirmed, they can get rich rewards.

Even if you don't report it to the court, but sell the information obtained from the expedition to the guilds, you can still make a lot of money.

This large island is not only ravaged by hurricanes, but also has a lot of rain all year round. The soil is severely washed and the fertility is insufficient, making it difficult to grow food.

However, there are many high mountains and hills on the island, which are suitable for planting fruit trees and some grain crops for feeding livestock, so it is not completely unsuitable for land reclamation.

And there are many large wild animals on the island, such as pheasants that are taller and stronger than adults, a large number of volcanoes, and volcanic ash that can be used for fertilization and raw cement. The valleys in the intermountain basins are very suitable for reclaiming rice fields.

Of course, compared to Fandao (Java Island) where Xingfan City is located, the value is still much lower.

Monarchs, nobles, and guilds are constantly reclaiming plantations. The plantations of various forces are intertwined with each other, and management is very troublesome. Therefore, the Imperial Court of the Kingdom of Yan specially set up a new [Planting Department] in the [Ministry of Land Reclamation] to deal with plantation reclamation, registration, change, sale, management, investigation, verification, etc. work.

For example, some guilds feel that their many plantations are too scattered, one here and another, and management is too troublesome, so they will choose to exchange plantations with other guilds and nobles. During this period, some economic disputes will inevitably arise.

With the emergence of various new things, the old laws have been unable to meet the needs of reality.

There were not so many land reclamation plantations before, and problems were dealt with in private, and at most the government sent people to mediate.

Now that there are too many plantations, there are more disputes, which cannot be mediated at all. Therefore, a corresponding "plantation law" has to be formulated, and a "plantation department" dedicated to the management of plantations has been established at the same time.

All changes or emergence of government agencies, laws, etc., are due to changes in reality.

There are not so many plantations in the Central Plains, so naturally there is no need for any "planting method", nor does it need to set up a "plantation department", let alone let officials specialize in managing this kind of thing.

If the rulers of the Central Plains copied Yan’s various systems and laws blindly, then there would be dissatisfaction with the environment. After all, if the Central Plains did not have so many plantations, but also came up with a “Plantation Law” and a “Plantation Division”, it would be meaningless at all. It would be a waste of manpower and material resources.

In the same way, the Yan State cannot copy the system and laws of the Central Plains. After all, the monarchs and nobles of the Yan State do not have so many beauties in the harem.
