The Hu Liena phenomenon was not accidental. Bai Yunqi soon discovered more problems during the next few private visits. The phenomenon like Hu Liena was extremely common in new countries. The enthusiasm of local tyrants for further annexation of land broke out again after this civil war. Taking the Duliangcheng area as an example, the refugees caused by the war were mainly poor people. After the war ended, Bai Yunqi distributed some food to let them go home, but they were facing more cruel exploitation than the war. A large number of poor people lost their land, local tyrants colluded with minor officials to rush into the countryside, and the people sold their children and were fluent and lost their homes.

Looking at industry and commerce, as the depression caused by the war continues, the various taxes existing in the previous dynasty are still being collected, and new tax cards established by local officials have also increased. The national economy has actually reached the brink of collapse.

Before winter began, a new wave of refugees began to appear in Duliang Cheng. Once winter entered, Bai Yunqi knew very well what the new regime was about to face.

You must have a major operation, otherwise you don’t have to wait for other countries to come, and the people’s riots can overwhelm yourself.

Bai Yunqi urgently summoned his ministers to bring up the current severe situation one by one. Except for the relatively stable north of Guanyin, almost all the seven states in Guanyin were facing the same problem.

The ministers were silent in front of Bai Yunqi's question. In front of Bai Yunqi's face, even a confidant like Kong Beihai dared not speak.

You can't hesitate anymore. The first order issued by Bai Yunqi was to enter a state of emergency across the country. An emergency committee was immediately established, and Bai Yunqi personally presided over the work. The first thing was to immediately establish a new secret agency. The main person in charge was Wu Ming on the surface, but in secret, Xu Yuyan, who Bai Yunqi trusted the most. Bai Yunqi called the Jinyiwei. The current main task of the Jinyiwei was to send a large number of secret spies to the whole country to investigate local tyrants and collect evidence of their illegal and criminal activities. Bai Yunqi knew in his heart that none of the local tyrants these days had a clean butt.

The second order was to declare that the country's grain was under control, and merchants suspended grain transactions, and the government first purchased the inventory and managed it centrally. Jie Dongshan was responsible for this matter.

The third order is that all troops will immediately enter a wartime state and no one is allowed to leave the barracks. Controlling the army is the most important task at present, and this matter is undertaken by Kong Beihai.

The fourth order is to immediately stop collecting taxes from domestic merchants from all tax cards nationwide from now on. If there are any violations, they will be killed without mercy.

Bai Yunqi's series of orders aroused no opposition, and a battle against local tyrants and corrupt officials began. First, starting from the capital Liangcheng, after more than half a month of preparation, more than 300 officials were invited to have tea by the newly established Jinyiwei, and only half of them returned home safely. Then it was the landlords and gentry outside the city. Almost all the landlords and gentry were unable to escape this storm, and those who caught them, those who killed them, those who searched for their houses were confiscated, and a large amount of land was collected as state-owned.

Soon the struggle spread across the country, a large number of local tyrants were dismissed, and a large number of officials became prisoners. For a while, everyone in China was in danger, and riots occurred in many places. Because Baiyunqi was well prepared, these riots were almost in the bud and were strangled by the army that had already prepared.

The movement lasted until the spring of the second year ended, and the fall of a large number of officials led to a serious shortage of managers in the new regime. In March, when the first spring rain came, the new regime began to face the first imperial examination in the country.

While Bai Yunqi was busy rectifying the domestic situation, the confrontation between the Huns and the Later Jin Dynasty also changed.

The Huns, most of them.

The Hun Khan Duanmuqiong held a banquet in the back garden to entertain guests and served them personally. There were very few people who could have such a face in the Huns, and there were no ones who could make Duanmuqiong pour wine to serve him.

But now this phenomenon has occurred. Duanmuqiong not only serves himself, but also serves the guest with respect. Who is this guest?

At the banquet in the back garden, the face that once appeared in the Zhangchu Palace appeared. Duanmuqiong said respectfully after drinking: "Uncle, you will not leave this time, right? You have been running around for the country over the years, and you should take a break and let the younger generation fulfill their filial piety."

A pretty face, the hooked nose on it destroyed the affinity of the face, making the whole person look a little gloomy. It was Tian Lingzi who became the uncle by Duanmuqiong.

"I want to rest, but some old friends are too enthusiastic. I found Zhang Chu two months ago, so I can't rest now. I have to go to Houjin to visit two old friends." Duanmuqiong sneered, and the pale color on his face gave birth to a bit of rosy under the influence of alcohol.

"What is your current battle with the Later Jin Dynasty?" Tian Lingzi asked Duanmuqiong.

"The Later Jin Dynasty has the support of the Northern Qin Dynasty and is now confronting our army in the Mohe area. The climate is getting colder and neither side has the ability to launch a new offensive. The younger generation plans to launch a huge offensive before the arrival of the new cold current, pushing the front line forward for 80 to 100 miles."

"Let's discuss peace!" Tian Lingzi gave the order without expression. Duanmuqiong was stunned at first when he heard this, but immediately replied: "Quan listened to the arrangements of his uncle. I will send someone to discuss."

In the winter of the first year of China (the year name of Baiyunqi), a large-scale campaign to crack down on local tyrants was launched, and a large amount of land was redistributed, and the lost land was returned to the hands of farmers. In the spring of the second year, the new regime issued an order to buy seeds from the state to borrow them from farmers, and return the principal and interest after harvest, and heal the trauma of the war was carried out at a high speed.

On March 25, 2018, the Xiongnu and the Later Jin Dynasty reached a ceasefire agreement. The Huns moved their new focus southward, and Jiezhou began to be in a tight spot. In July, the harvest of summer grain was completed and the autumn grain had just ended. Zhang Chu suddenly sent troops to the Later Wei, and 300,000 troops besieged Qizhou. On July 15, the Later Wei Dynasty ruled to lead a close army of 200,000 troops to reinforce Qizhou and fight with Zhang Chu's army at the city of Qizhou. In this case, the Later Wei army was defeated. Zhang Chu wiped out 150,000 troops in the Later Wei army at the cost of 50,000 casualties. Hu Junbai was forced to retreat to Yanzhou. Zhang Chu's army besieged Qizhou day and night, but Qizhou was in danger of being protected.

In early August, the envoy of the Later Wei Dynasty came to the capital Liangcheng, hoping to form an alliance with China, and asked China to send troops to Qizhou to break the siege of Qizhou. Also in early August, the Xiongnu held 100,000 troops under Jiezhou City and did not go for a long time.

Regarding whether to reinforce Qizhou, the Chinese government's opinions cannot be unified on this issue. Cabinet Minister Xie Dongshan believes that the country has not yet stabilized and it is definitely not possible to send troops at this time. Not to mention that the soldiers are constantly fighting continuously in suppressing domestic tyrants, they are already very tired. Just talking about the current treasury status is not enough to cope with the supply of this common war. The Minister of War Bai Yunfan, Minister of Revenue Yu Nanping, and Minister of Works Jie Donghai all agreed with Jie Dongshan's opinions, believing that it is really unwise to start the war at this time.
