Chapter nine hundred and eighty-four: look at you
Compared to the identity of a descendant of King Qin who was a Luoshi, capturing Zhang Zhongwu alive and recapturing the entire Liaodong, Li Ze was much more excited. The entire Liaodong land, on such a large area of black and fertile land, would make him salivate whenever he remembered it!
Originally, this piece of land could be truly called a barbaric land, but for the Central Plains Empire, this place was really remote and difficult to rule.
Thanks to Zhang Zhongwu for his hard work over the years, this land has finally become a little bit and saved me a lot of effort.
No matter what kind of person Zhang Zhongwu was, he established a Tang regime in Liaodong. He established the absolute authority of the Tang people there, including the hierarchical system of the Tang people being the first-level people. Although this is an evil policy, it will still be of some help to establish a new rule there in the future.
A place is too poisoned, and only the latecomers need to exert some favors to distinguish the cruelty of the past rulers. Locals are generally grateful and are afraid of comparisons in everything, and Li Ze wants this kind of comparison.
Of course, the hierarchy that distinguishes people should be abolished. All people on this land should be Tang people, all should enter the Tang Dynasty's households and yellow books, and all should become good people who pay taxes in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ze believed that the policies implemented by the Tang Dynasty court today would definitely make most people on this land happy and become the absolute supporter of these policies in a very short time.
If you don’t believe or support them, needless to say, you will definitely be some rioters, some ambitious people, and bandits. Of course, these people must be firmly eliminated.
The black soil has always been rich in fierce men. These self-proclaimed heroes are afraid that they are seeking the benefits they should not get in chaos. When the government wants to deprive them of these benefits, resistance will naturally come. Then, let you learn about the sharp blades of the Tang Dynasty government.
After the rebellious people were completely cleared, the land became peaceful.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh. When he turned his head, he saw Liu Ruyan looking at him intently.
"What are you looking at?" Li Ze said this in a silly way.
Liu Ruyan was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with the ground?"
"Try taking a look!" Li Ze glared.
Liu Ruyan was not afraid of Li Ze. This was not in the court or in the army. This was in his dormitory. Here, there were no superiors and subordinates, only husband and wife.
She put her hands on her hips and her eyebrows were raised, "Just try it!"
Li Ze laughed loudly, and it was indeed the same smell and the same feeling.
Turning around, he ignored Liu Ruyan, started to review these documents from the desk, but he hummed Xiaoyao Tune.
My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast.
There are forest coal mines there.
And soybean sorghum all over the mountains!
Before Liu Ruyan could react, he changed his tone again.
My hometown,
Live in this village,
I am a native of this village.
Don't look at the village not very big,
There are mountains, water and forests,
Neighbors and villagers are very harmonious,
The old and young men are even more involved in the group.
Liu Ruyan snorted. When Li Ze was not a big man, he often hummed some inexplicable country slang songs. The tunes were something that Liu Ruyan had never heard of. What made him unhappy was that Xia He often hummed such tunes, especially when he was coaxing the children to sleep, Liu Ruyan often heard a lot of overlapping tunes that the two had hummed.
But thinking about it again, there is no way to do it. Who made Li Ze and Xia He grow up together? Apart from their husband-wife relationship, they are really childhood sweethearts. They are really incomparable to this.
The more I thought about it, the more I became unhappy I took my spear and walked out of the house and started playing in the yard. For a moment, there was a loud whistle in the yard.
Xia He hurried in with a few documents in his arms. Seeing the cold light flashing in the yard, Liu Ruyan walked around like a strong leopard. He carefully slid in against the wall. Liu Ruyan's cold snorting sound came from his ears. It seemed that when he saw Liu Ruyan look at him, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, and he didn't know where he was unhappy.
I originally wanted to have a few words of love, but seeing this situation, it was better to have less than more things. I immediately accelerated my pace and quickly slipped into Li Ze's study.
"Come?" Li Ze waved his face and signed his name on the documents one by one. Now the secretary-general is becoming more and more mature. When most of the memorials are presented to him, they have basically written various opinions on handling, and the heads of various departments have also signed them. For him, it is just a routine. Of course, if he has different opinions, he will naturally just write one and discuss it again.
"As for the money required by Liaodong, I think I'd better press it first now," said Xia He.
"Reason." Li Ze said: "Reconstruction, pension, and resettlement all require a lot of money. If it cannot be put in place in time, the results of the soldiers' bloody battle will inevitably be greatly reduced. Is there any financial difficulties?"
"It's not just a difficulty? It's already a waste of money." Xia He was frowning: "Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting, and the daily money flowed out like water. No matter how much income it was, it couldn't stand such spending. And you also know that we have always been eating food for the Yin and Mao, but if the fiscal deficit is too large, there will be endless hidden dangers. Since the war in Liaodong has ended, we might as well drag it a little."
"Drag it up?" Li Ze scratched his head.
"Yes, if you drag it, Liaodong will soon usher in winter. If there is heavy snow, nothing can be done." Xia He said: "So I think Liaodong only needs to ensure the most basic food supply for the time being, and it is enough to ensure that there is a safe place to spend this winter. By next spring, we must have taken Chang'an and completely destroyed the fake beam, so we can breathe."
"So what you mean is that the army there should be withdrawn on a large scale!" Li Ze heard what Xia He said.
"Yes." Xia He nodded and said, "While the right-leading guard retreated to Goryeo, while stabilizing the situation in Goryeo and helping Goryeo rebuild order, they can also naturally require the Goryeo people to bear all their expenses. Xue Chong's left Jinwu Guard stationed in Mozhou locally and no longer conducts large-scale military operations, the expenditure will be greatly reduced. Liaodong has a bumper harvest this year. Judging from the information transferred back from Liaodong, they are not short of food. Even if they need a lot of pensions now, they only need to save some, and there is no problem to survive this winter."
Li Ze nodded: "If both armies withdraw from Liaodong, then we still need to maintain a strong armed force in Liaodong to deter it. And this army should not cost much."
Speaking of this, Li Ze understood: "You are talking about the two armies of Yelu Yuan and Liu Yan."
Xia He nodded: "I think this winter, while we are sending a large number of officials, we only need to maintain a highly powerful cavalry team. Moreover, the environment this team can adapt to, and the logistics requirements will not be so high."
Li Ze laughed: "No wonder everyone says you are an iron hen. This is the case? You see that Yelu Yuan will not refuse now, and he is eager to make meritorious performance, so he throws this burden to him! Well, where is Liu Yan? If he returns his ancestral home in Mozhou to him, he will be very happy."
Xia He nodded with a smile.
"This proposal is feasible. Yelu Yuan and Liu Yan's troops were organized into a cavalry regiment, and at the same time, some of them were also drawn from the cavalry of the Right Martial Guard led by Zhang Jia. Didn't Zhang Jia have a large number of tribes in the cavalry team this time?" Li Ze said: "After the training, Yelu Yuan was the main general, and Liu Yan and Zhang Jia's troops sent a general, and the two were deputy, and they jointly completed the bandit suppression work in Liaodong."
"In this case, we can save a lot of money." Xia He said: "There is another thing, which is the debt bank issue you mentioned to me before. This time I want to try it in Liaodong. The Ministry of Revenue is preparing to issue the Liaodong Construction Debt Bank for a period of three years."
Li Ze pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if anyone is willing to invest in this new thing?"
"Of course we have to give some discounts!" Xia He said: "Putting aside small retail investors, we can give him a commodity franchise in Liaodong. I think this temptation is enough to make those big merchants rush to the market. Once they start bidding, they will immediately appreciate the value of the bond roll, which will benefit small retail investors, thus establishing the credibility of our bond rolls, and then issuing similar bond rolls in the future. Even if such franchise is no longer given, the purchase of retail investors is enough to raise enough money."
"The scope of this franchise must be restricted!" Li Ze said.
"Of course, Sun Lei and Wang Mingyi and others are organizing people to discuss this matter."
"How many of the first batch of debt volumes are ready to be issued?"
"Ten million silver dollars." Xia He said: "With this money, the expenses after taking Chang'an are settled. Handling matters in Guanzhong is much more troublesome than in Liaodong now."
"You sort these things into memorandums and check them out with the ministers of various departments first." Li Ze thought for a while and said, "After all, this is a precedent. It is always no harm to listen to some different opinions."
