(Thank you Fatty 7931, monthly ticket for loving that love)

After walking for a few days, the group saw the outline of Yizhou City from afar. After leaving for a month, they really missed it a little, and felt like they were back home.

At the gate of the city, Shangguan Yi, who received the news, had led officials to welcome Li Yan and his group at the gate. The news of the great victory in Songzhou had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yizhou City. The people were verbally conscious and felt much more at ease. They would no longer have to worry about invasion and robbery of foreign races in the future, and could live a peaceful life.

Those who were ill-thinking also clamped their tails to be human. Li Yan could cut off the heads of 20,000 Tuyuhun people and hang them at the gate of the city. At the same time, the victory in Songzhou also deeply shocked the powerful gentry in various states. They had a clear understanding of Li Yan's strength and gave up the idea of ​​being in a vain and against the yin and yang.

Therefore, Shangguan Yi was surprised to feel that after the news of the Songzhou victory came, the order of both Yizhou and other states had improved a lot, and the various government orders were conveyed as quickly as flowing. Unlike before, they were conveyed for a long time but were not implemented.

He was thinking that Li Yan and his group had arrived at the gate of Yizhou City. Shangguan Yi brought the officials to salute and said respectfully, "The officials of Yizhou welcomed His Highness back!"

"No gift!" Li Yan waved his hand and glanced at the officials, Wang Yinlong, Dou Xiande, Cui Zhang, Cui Tong, Tong Nian, were all there, all of them were in high spirits and in good condition, "Go into the city and go back to the palace!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The officials made way. Li Yan took the lead and walked in first. Following their group were the elite defenders, infantry, archers and cavalry drawn by Songzhou, a total of more than 5,000. They would enter the camp in the south of Yizhou City as the main force of the Central Army.

Li Yan chose to enter the city as the North Gate. He specially asked the army to walk from south to north to show the glory of the Yizhou army. This is the same as the principle of the military parade, which shocked the little ones and enhanced the national self-confidence. He naturally wanted to enhance the confidence of the people in Shu.

The army entered the city and immediately attracted the attention of the people. They were shocked when they looked at the soldiers wearing silver armor. However, this outfit made them feel an invisible pressure. Some strong men also had the idea of ​​joining the army. It was so handsome to wear this set of armor.

These people watching also include businessmen from other places. For those who are doing business, what they hope is a stable business environment so that their assets will not be damaged and make a fortune every year, so they will also be happy.

When they passed by the royal palace, Li Yan asked Qin Huaiyu and others to bring the army back to the camp. He and the government officials returned to the royal palace. This month they must have a lot of things to talk to Li Yan, and he had to discuss the matter of adding seven new states with Shangguan Yi and others.

"Your Highness!" Cui Yingying had been waiting at the door of the palace. Su Mo'er was with her. Both of them were looking at him affectionately. Li Yan felt warm in his heart. It was the most difficult thing to accept the kindness of the beauty!

Li Yan was not too intimate with them in front of everyone. He just smiled. At this time, the Zheng sisters also got off the carriage. When they saw Cui Yingying and the others, they immediately shed tears and walked towards Cui Yingying.

Cui Yingying already knew what happened to them from Li Yan. She felt pity and reached out to hold the two of them and comforted them softly.

Li Yan asked Rongda to take Wang Gui to the temple first. He took a group of officials to the main hall and asked Cui Yingying to take the Zheng sisters back to the South Courtyard first. After the negotiation, he would reunite with them.

After a group of officials entered the main hall, Shangguan Yi first led the officials to salute Li Yan and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness for winning the Songzhou victory."

Li Yan criticized the cumbersome etiquette of ancient times, but he had to follow the customs. After the officials bowed, Li Yan said: "There was no mistake in all matters in Yizhou this month, right?"

Shangguan Yi said: "Report to Your Highness, everything is going on normally. The autumn grain has been collected. According to your instructions, the grain management offices in various prefectures and counties have been established. Public grain is currently being collected. Grain planting bases are also under construction, and winter wheat has been planted."

Food is a big deal, and it affects the people's stomach problems. Li Yan said: "Which price is paid for public grain?"

"According to the current market price, a mu of land costs 210 cents per mu. This season, the harvest is great, and the people's surplus grain is very high, and they are often sold to the grain management office for hundreds of stones. Some foreign merchants also took the opportunity to purchase grain. Their prices are more expensive than the grain management office. I would like to ask His Highness if he wants to control it?"

Li Yan thought about it. Anyway, the money was in the pockets of the people in Yizhou, and the grain management office did not need so much food. It is also a trend for the people to form a spontaneous grain market. So he said: "This is not needed, but we must control the behavior of some merchants living in strange places and maliciously raising the price of grain."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Shangguan Yi responded.

After Shangguan Yi finished speaking, Tong Nian said, "The oil pressing workshop of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has begun to produce edible oil, and the sugar workshop is also under construction. The craftsmen sent by Tong Yu are teaching slaves how to make sugar, and the process of bringing sweet potato vermicelli."

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction. Taoyuan's technical support is still very powerful, and it is not in vain that he collects various production processes for them to learn.

After Tong Nian finished speaking, Wang Yinlong and others reported their work matters to Li Yan one by one. Two of these problems were more prominent. One was the issue of standardization of the commercial market raised by Wang Yinlong. With the development of Yizhou's business, more and more merchants came to Yizhou, and the trade volume continued to grow. However, the problem of tax evasion and tax exposure has also become prominent. Although it is controlled by the Municipal Yisi, the effect is not very good.

Li Yan did not immediately give Wang Yinlong's solution to this problem. The current subject of business administration has been opened in the government affairs college. In the future, they will gradually change the current situation in Yizhou through their talents. Of course, they cannot sit idly by now. Therefore, Li Yan intends to introduce an invoice mechanism, and invoices must be issued for commercial transactions. Although this method cannot eliminate tax evasion, it can indeed be reduced.

Another problem is that Cui Zhang proposed the household registration. After Shangguan Yi handed over this task to him, he found that it was difficult to implement it, and such a large number made Yizhou officials unable to be busy at all, so Cui Zhang proposed to have a special agency to manage the household registration.

Household registration is indeed a very important issue. Registration is inseparable from taxation and public security management. Therefore, Li Yan also attached great importance to it. He said: "I am thinking of independent Wuhouting in each prefecture and county, and handing it over to the recorders to join the army to form an independent legal institution to formulate and enforce the laws. This household registration system will be specially handed over to Wuhouting for management." The Wuhouting here is equivalent to a modern public security bureau, and every prefecture, county and township has it. In this way, Li Yan's military and political laws have been initially formed.

Cui Zhang was overjoyed. This was like a disguised promotion to him. There were people under his command, but he continued: "But the people are not interested in this household registration system, and many are unwilling to apply for it."

"This is simple. You notify the Wuhou in prefectures, counties and townships and ask them to post notices to inform the people that they will now apply for household registration and ID cards in a centralized manner. It will be completed in June next year. During this period, household registration and ID cards are free, and they will charge for expired. It is also stated that in the future, you need to review your ID card when you go to school, you need an ID card, buy oxen and farm tools, sell public grain, do business, and deposit and withdraw money at Shengtang Money House. You always need to make them feel the importance of ID cards, and they will naturally apply." Li Yan gave Cui Zhang an example, and Cui Zhang showed a sudden enlightenment.

After talking about this, Li Yan smiled and said, "Shangguan Yi, you have formulated a policy in the past few days to encourage the people to have more children. Such a large fiefdom is too cold. Along the way, it is not that there is no one in a thousand miles, and sometimes even a village can't be seen even if it is dozens of miles away."

If Shangguan Yi had said that the people were too poor to raise children, but now it would be different. Everyone had a full warehouse of grain in their families, and they could afford to raise them even if they had given birth to ten or eight. So he said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

After discussing some government affairs with these officials, Li Yan announced Li Shimin's reward to him, "There is another good news to tell you that from today, I will no longer be the King of Chengdu..."

When the officials were shocked when they heard this, Wang Yinlong said: "Your Highness, why... this is, have you made great contributions?

Li Yan just wanted to tease them, but the effect was achieved. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an order to change my two-character king back to my one-character king. In the future, I will still be the King of Shu."

"Your Highness, you are really scaring us!" Cui Zhang said, covering his chest. He felt light and fluttered because of his promotion, and suddenly his whole body was cold. It was really a world of ice and fire.

The other officials also breathed a sigh of relief. Yizhou was at its peak and it was possible to leave Li Yan. Then, they all congratulated each other.

Shangguan Yi was also breathing heavily, "Your Highness, don't make such jokes in the future."

Li Yan laughed and said, "There is another thing. In addition to the issue of title enfeoffment, Your Majesty also enfeoffed the seven states that originally belonged to Badi to this king. You can go back and discuss how to take over." The seventeen states together are more than 1,000 miles from north to south and more than 900 miles from east to west. The area is quite large and it is a small country.

"Ba Di Qizhou?" Shangguan Yi frowned slightly when he heard this. Although Li Yan's fiefdom was bigger, he had to spend a lot of effort on the management of these seven states. But then he felt relieved. Isn't it a good thing to have more land? Now Li Yan advocates fertility to expand the population. In a few generations, the land here may not be enough!

After discussing several major events, Shangguan Yi took the officials back to work. When Li Yan came back, they had a backbone. Other small matters can be discussed slowly, and there is no rush to do so. (To be continued...)
