Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 285: Long separation is better than newlyweds

In the third year of Qianwu's reign, around mid-April, batches of troops withdrew to Yanyun, bringing good or bad news to their respective families.

Those who win military honors will have a better life as a family; if a man in the family dies in battle, they will also receive an extremely generous pension. In addition, the population of Yanyun has skyrocketed in the past two years. In the past year, the flames of war have finally been able to no longer burn within the territory of Yanyun. Both Yanyun and Yanyun have completed a complete spring plowing and autumn harvest.

Everything is thriving.

"Ulahaicheng sent a message. Most of the construction of the Yellow River has been completed. It will be completed by the end of the year. In two years, it is not an exaggeration to say that there will be a blockade in the south of the Yangtze River."

Han Fang said a little proudly.

When a subordinate works diligently, in order to reward him or make a guarantee, the leader will usually say, "If there is anything missing, just go to the finance department and ask for it."

Liu Ling nodded slightly, praised a few words, and then changed the topic:
"If there is insufficient money and food in all aspects, send people to Da Song to ask for it."

"I understand."

Han Fang laughed, and several civil servants sitting next to him immediately laughed in cooperation.

Immediately, Han Fang was excited, and the others stood up after him and said in unison: "I will follow your orders."

"However, I just sent people to the Song Dynasty not long ago to request a group of ships and thousands of related civilians," Han Fang said seriously: "The territory of the Han Dynasty is expanding every day. In the next few years, Lord Although it is possible to conduct the expedition in person, the journey is far away, so soldiers and horses from various places can only be dispatched to go ahead.

"You're very thoughtful."

"Okay, you guys have told me so many things, and I have something to say to you."

If the king wants to continue going south, then
The navy must also be trained, and in addition, there are maritime merchants. "

"Just put it there."

Princess Han stood at the door, holding a plate of fruits and vegetables in her hand. Seeing Liu Ling looking up, a trace of reserve appeared on her face.

Liu Ling once again praised him. He started to lead his troops south last year and conquered nearly a thousand miles of land from Yinzhou to Yan'an Prefecture. However, most major domestic affairs were handled by Han Fang, and Cai Jing and others were under his control. There was no trouble.

"Your Majesty, let's have something to eat."

After all, north of the Yellow River, they can rely on field vanguards, and infantry can meet all requirements for attacking cities and forts. But south of the Yellow River, the Han army has to encounter various complex terrains. If it were easy to attack, there would be no Northern and Southern Dynasties in history. Stand with each other.

Liu Ling nodded silently, still thinking about political affairs in his mind. The soldiers could rest for a while when they returned to Yanyun, because other troops would change defenses and take over their tasks.

Even the families with white flags hanging at the door were somewhat relieved by the generous pensions and the atmosphere in the city. Although their father and brother were gone, they could still live a good life. The palace ordered that the families of the soldiers who died in the war could receive a pension for free. If you are willing to give up money and food, you can directly obtain a fixed share of land.

Liu Ling stood up and looked at the magnificent decoration in the palace. He was silent for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I will gather all the ministers. I want to meet everyone."

Liu Ling carefully looked at the various regulations written on the documents in front of him, occasionally deleting parts and making comments, and a notification sounded outside.

But no one can replace Liu Ling now. Even Han Fang only helps with government affairs. As soon as Liu Ling comes back, many backlogged things will have to be dealt with immediately.

Princess Han waved her hand, and the palace door behind her was closed immediately. Liu Ling looked up at her with questioning eyes.

Because the King of Han returned to his loyal Yanjing, everyone in Yanjing suddenly became busy.

The fragrance of Princess Han's powder came to his face. Liu Ling hadn't smelled this smell for almost a year. Immediately, he forgot all the national and military affairs.

"The king went out for a trip, and he got another son."

Princess Han put the fruit plate on the table and leaned into Liu Ling's arms. The latter rubbed it subconsciously. Princess Han squeaked and her body became softer and softer. "Is Cheng'er good or not?"

Liu Ling was at a loss for words and kept moving her hands. Princess Han suddenly had some resentment in her eyes. She leaned her face towards Liu Ling and blew a little hot air on Liu Ling's earlobe.

"You are a cruel father. You never taught him a lesson. Now he is not good at all. Before you came back, he even had some boys in the academy beaten."

"how?"

Liu Ling's hands moved for a moment, and Princess Han snorted softly, turned over in his arms, lay on Liu Ling's lap, and snorted: "Earlier, a few incompetent little bastards encouraged him to contradict the husband, but the husband sued Come to me;
Cheng'er was taught a lesson by me, but he turned out to be even more of a bastard than them. He asked about a dozen of the children from Shi Gong's ministers' families to beat up the first few who encouraged him to commit crimes. "

Several children encouraged Liu Cheng to do bad things. After Liu Cheng was taught a lesson, another group of children beat them up.

"this is not good?"

After all, those who were beaten belonged to the families of Cai Jing and other ministers, and they were all sent to Yandi Academy to study. Now, as the heir apparent, Liu Cheng led others to bully them.
She lay on Liu Ling's lap and raised her head uneasily, but then Liu Ling stretched out his hand to hold her head and gently stroked her hair.

"It doesn't matter."

A smile appeared on Liu Ling's face. If Liu Cheng was stupid when he was teased before, he sounds smarter now.

Firstly, he didn't do it himself, and secondly, it also showed another meaning: he could bring the children of other ministers' families to make some small troubles.

The first generation of the "ruling class" of the Han Dynasty had different origins. Liu Ling relied on power to twist everyone into one rope. Under the banner of the Han Dynasty, all ethnic groups coexisted, even though Liu Ling had previously allowed each ethnic group to call themselves their own clan names.

But in China, more and more young people have begun to puff up their chests and proudly call themselves Han Chinese.

"I'll talk about him tonight."

"How about you go now?" Princess Han's voice was filled with joy. She looked up at Liu Ling, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, and said, "Cheng'er misses you."

"I know."

Liu Ling nodded, pressed Princess Han's head down again, and said with a smile: "I'll go back in the evening, I have something to do now."

"Um"

In the hall, some subtle noises soon came out.

The palace door was closed tightly, and he didn't know when it would be opened. Liu Ling could only feel the fragrance of powder in front of him. He took a deep breath, hugged forward, and his arms were filled with nephrite.

Princess Han held her hands on the table and almost lost her balance due to the hug. She turned back to look at Liu Ling and signaled with her eyes.

"His Majesty."

Liu Ling snorted and slowed down his hand slightly: "Don't scream like that."

"Liu Lang."

"It's also unfamiliar."

Princess Han was made to laugh and gasp, with a hint of crying in her business. She said that her son missed his father, but in fact, she also missed her husband.

"Good brother"
