Chapter 245 The north and south are settled at the beginning, and winter grain is placed in the east

Chapter 245: The north and south are stable at the beginning, and winter grain is released in the east. Intention!

In the middle of October, outside Jingzhao Prefecture, fifty miles north.

The horse's hooves were heard, and dozens of riders rushed over, but there was no sign. The first one blocked the reins with a "swing!" and stopped. He stopped. His black face and a whisper, and his iron spear was not Yue Lei!

"How can the second young master stop here?" A veteran came from behind, Zhao Yun, who stroked his beard and looked ahead. He could see the surrounding towns outside Jingzhao Prefecture from afar. Although it was not said to be prosperous, there were smoke rising from the cooking stove. Occasionally, there were carriages and horses coming in and out. Going further forward, there was a Jin man's base, but these dozens of cavalry could easily fight against it.

"Uncle Yang has instructed that from Jingzhao, Fengxiang to Lintao, you can only force each other and not attack. At present, there are only more than 10,000 troops in Weizhou, and it is rare that the Jin people dare not go north. Humph! This Jingzhao Mansion is from Yue!————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The investigation was just to understand the Jin people's defenses on the spot. Although Alu Bu was defeated, the troops in Guanzhong were not severely damaged. Previously, the army went north to fight Jiezhou, but most of the troops were used between the Jianghuai. From Jingzhao Prefecture to Lintao, the troops in Zhucheng could be used, which had been exhausted as early as Sa Liyu's hands. Therefore, since Yue Lei obtained Weizhou, he could see Jingzhao at any time. The Jin army in the city had been in panic for several months, and repeatedly urged the people to build city defenses and mobilized large numbers of bows and arrows. As Yue Lei thought like this, how dare he go north to provoke easily?

It was said that it was here that the Jin people in Guanzhong were far less nervous than the north. The heavy troops used to guard against the Wu family in Sichuan had already been mobilized back to Guanzhong. The soldiers in the city were no less than 35,000, which were far above Yue Lei's strength, but because the front line was too long, they were attacked from north to south. Therefore, thousands of defenders were distributed in each city, and the largest Jingzhao Prefecture was only 11,000 soldiers, so there was no power to fight!

Therefore, Yue Lei led the Yue family army to leave the city at least 2,000 cavalry every day, divided into more than ten teams, crisscrossing east and west, running around, sometimes not returning to the mansion for three or five days. In the northern part of Guanzhong, they may encounter the Yue family army at any time. The Jin people in the city of Guanzhong were even more frightened and did not know when they would see the army besieging the city.

Fortunately, after half a year, the Yue family army did not make any major moves. The Jin people were a little relieved, but they still did not dare to go north to cause trouble.

Henan Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture are also quite similar. Although these two places are far away from the battlefield, we also know that the Yue family army will stop at Jiezhou and Weizhou, and may not be able to last long. Maybe one day it will be under the city. Therefore, for most of the year, nearly 40,000 Han troops and 5,000 Jurchen cavalry were gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture. We will be able to fight just when the Yue family army arrives.

"From Emperor Jinde to Kaifeng Prefecture, he sent a letter to Hebei, Hedong prefectures and counties, and the county governments were safe. The thieves of the Yuezhe protected the city and did not dare to invade the counties. This is indeed the result of the right prime minister's planning. Although I was dull, I decided to protect Emperor Jinde in Kaifeng, and there was no Song people taking advantage of the gap. Hebei was as safe as a rock!"

After Bodi arrived in Kaifeng, he heard that the two generals of Xingtai had suffered a crushing defeat, so how could he dare to "suppress the thieves"? But if Kaifeng Prefecture is safe, it would be fine if Yue Lei did not come to invade. But since Zhao Huan went south, the Yue family army had no movement. Is this considered Zhao Huan's credit? Bodi is unknown, but one thing is certain. If Zhao Huan falls into the hands of the Song people, or dies unfortunately, Hebei will inevitably be in chaos, and the consequences are not something he can bear.

When Bodiedi reported the peace of Hebei, Pei Man was very happy. Even in the book, he counted the credit on Wanyan Liang and didn't care about it. He now promoted the news in Shangjing. From Wanyan Liang below, all the civil and military officials thought that Hebei was stable. Zhao Huan really used this chess well and wonderfully!

This is exactly the effect Yang Zaixing wants.

Taihang was thousands of miles away from the mountains and the eight passes were dangerous. In the hands of the Yue family army, the Jin soldiers had to sigh, and the land in Hedong was as stable as Taishan. Xia State was self-reliant to report to him in detail, and Li Renxiao had long been vigilant and fearful: Even Sa Liyu, who was afraid of the Xia people, was easily killed by Yue Lei Gun. Alu Bu, who was known as the Great Jin general, was killed by the Yue family army and fled. How could Xia State provoke such an enemy? Therefore, all the civil and military officials of the court waited for the east to settle down, but if there was nothing to do, how could they make trouble for themselves? Therefore, the Xia people on the border northwest of Yue Lei did not even fart loudly, for fear of causing trouble. What made the Xia people secretly happy was that the Yue family army actually took the initiative to show goodwill and demanded the opening of the court. Even if the Song and Xia traveled and merchants, the Xia people naturally overjoyed.

It seems that Hedong has been settled, and the Jin people will no longer dare to enter Hexi with a half-step!

The new policy of Hedong has been promulgated and it is time to carry out full construction.

In October of the 18th year of Shaoxing, the autumn harvest had passed. Although Hedong tried its best to recover, the yield was still extremely limited. The barren fields for several years could not be recovered in half a year. From Taiyuan Prefecture to Jiezhou, the fields were only half full for the Song people who returned home from various prefectures and counties. However, the cost of the construction of their homes and the cost of seeds and farm tools was all distributed by Yue's army. The Zezhou Privy Administration almost became a "disaster relief office". The money was spent like flowing, and large ships and chariots transported the grain to Hedong.

In the Ezhou Prefecture and Jincheng business, Wang Hanyu was already very busy. He sent hundreds of trucks of grain to Xiangyang and then headed north. Once he passed Xiangyang, he changed into the Jin people's banner and passed through the road without any obstacles. However, sending this for more than ten consecutive days made him very tired.

"Master Wang, Zezhou urgently reported it!"

In the business name, the master in the pigeon chamber brought a small white silk to Wang Hanyu. When he opened it, he wrote: "Before the winter solstice, there are still 40,000 stones! Cut!" The character behind the word "Yang Zan Mansion in Zezhou is stamped on the seal.

Wang Hanyu added his forehead with his hands and sighed: "Yang Xiang ordered a good job! Although there is no shortage of food in the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, how can we get so many chariots and horses in Ezhou?" He turned his head and shouted: "Give me instructions. Only half of the chariots and horses from each prefecture and county will be returned, and the rest will be returned after the food is transported away!"

After the master left, Wang Hanyu moved to the warehouse and looked at the piles of grain bags and was worried: In Ezhou, there were more than 20,000 stones of grain stored in this warehouse. Where could it be transported for a while?

In the Zezhou envoy's office, Hong Hao was worried about another matter.

"Prince, Zezhou Prefecture transported more than 700,000 stones of grain, but Hedong is still not enough to use it. At present, this is the only one, and the cost is nearly one million yuan. Although there is more than enough in the warehouse, but Hedong has millions of grain. What is the long-term solution?"

Yang Zaixing calculated the cost of Hedong early and asked: "There are 410,000 households in Hedong. Not only are the Song people constantly moving back on the Taihang Mountains, and there are many old Hedong people returning to their hometowns in Jiangnan. How much food is needed? Now the Yue family army occupied Hedong, but the treasury is empty. It is not up to Zezhou Prefecture. Will these Song people starve to death? The gentleman then calculated that the Zezhou court has reopened now, and the business has been in exchange for business, and the monthly income is no less than 2 million yuan. How much is it worth it to provide relief to the people of Hedong?"

Hong Hao was frowning and said, "The Prime Minister is indeed very accessible. Hong said just now, but seeing that the expenses in Zezhou are not worth it, I want to find out the Prime Minister's intentions! The people of Hedong admire the Prime Minister as blue as the sky, hoping that these foods will pass through this cold winter, how can they not save them? The Prime Minister's plan is big, and he does not care about some silver and money. It is actually the style of ancient sages. Well, the people of Hedong are blessed!"

Yang Zaixing glared: "Ha! Mr. actually came to visit Yang? Yes, Mr. always puts people's livelihood first, and today he actually counts the gains and losses of money and food. It is not the style of Mr. Yang in the past, so Yang is confused!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Yang Zaixing turned to the stern and said, "People-oriented, scholars all over the world understand this principle, the people are the most important, the country is the next, the king is the least, how many officials in the world can do this? When the commander of the Yue army came to the court and the imperial preface was against each other, the emperor asked how the Song Dynasty could be restored. Yue army once said: "Civil officials do not love money, and military officials do not hesitate to die!" At that time, the emperor also agreed deeply, but it was very difficult for him to do it later! With the wisdom of Han,

He still cannot escape the suspicion of wealth and sex, and he accumulated more than one million yuan of money and grain, let alone the rest? Qin Hui and others forced to seize the robbery. The envoys from all prefectures and counties to Dali, Tubo and other countries must go to the Qin Mansion to pay bribes when they arrive in Lin'an. All the money and grains are in the capital. Before they enter the treasury, they must first select the fine ones to send them to the Qin Mansion. How can this thief lead the people? Yang was ordered to rule Hedong. The emperor was graceful and did not blame a penny or a grain of rice. How could he make a hungry man in Hedong to fill his private bags?"

When Hong Hao heard this, he sighed, "I am in Shangjing. When I heard that the reputation of Yue Zheng was so great that all the thieves were shocked. I only said, 'It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family'. As for the strict discipline of Yue's army, everyone in the world heard that there is no such a mind! What the Prime Minister does today is not like Yue Zheng's style in the past. In the Song Dynasty, there are more civil and military officials who do not love money and do not hesitate to die. Why worry about the rebirth of Hebei?!"

In the Yao Temple in Pingyang Prefecture, the prefect Zhang Hao who remained in office was the same as before. He worshipped Yao Zu, led a group of officials to the office, but his family went to the north gate to investigate the people's situation.

At the north gate of Pingyang Prefecture, only a hundred Yue family soldiers were guarded, but the people who were waiting for food outside the city to help the elderly and young, but in one day there were no less than 10,000 people. Every day, more than a thousand stones of grain were transported out of the treasury, and before the evening, they had to fill the empty grain bags outside the city gate. The Yue family army lined up a long table along the foot of the city wall outside the city gate. Facing the more than a thousand people who came earlier outside, he shouted loudly: "Don't panic, one person has three buckets, Baojia reports the population and names of each household, and does not allow them to be misled. The chiefs of each Baojia household must make a book. If there is any falsehood, they will need to recover them in the future and ask for the guilt. Do you know?"

The people were already ready to see the officers and soldiers in front of them, and thought they were going to be given food, but they were anxious and were rushing forward in panic. After hearing this, they realized that they could not get it by getting close, and they had to collect it according to the list of Baojia. In addition, some soldiers of the Yue family had already begun to come forward to maintain order, so they settled down a little.

Three fights per person, and together with the meager harvest at home, it should have been half a winter.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao felt very comforted and rode his horse forward. Some people outside the city recognized him and shouted loudly, "Mr. Zhang!" and "Zhang Qingtian!".

Zhang Hao also responded loudly: "All the elders, after the release of the grain this time, there will be another next time. Yang Xiangye is afraid that the grain in the treasury will be ineffective for a while, so he has only distributed three dou of one person. After a while, a large amount of food will be shipped, so he will never let anyone be hungry!"
