Wu Zhengqing felt very uncomfortable and finally left with a smirk on his face.

A few days later, Wu Zhengqing invited him to visit, and many Shu clans accompanied him. During the meal, everyone unanimously expressed that they would actively cooperate with the actions of the court, and each family would release some land to help the poor people and give it to the families without land to farm.

Li Xingzhou was very happy and gave them enough face. He praised and said that he wanted to speak well before the emperor, which made everyone smile happily.

The previous resistance and worries were suppressed. After all, for those of them, it was nothing to just create a hundred acres of land. The key was to bring closer relations with the court and stabilize the family's foundation.

By June, Li Xingzhou knew that his mission in Shu had been completed and it was time to return to Jingguo.

It is not good to take five or six hundred people here for free to eat and live.

Then he told Wu Zhengqing and other elders of the Wu family that he was about to leave.

The old people in the Wu family were very regretful. Li Xingzhou, who was said to be a good woman, didn't even like a younger woman from the Wu family. With a few months, he picked out the most beautiful girl from the Wu family and wandered around in front of him.

Later, I thought that what I like might be talent, so I found a talented woman at home. Those who can read and read are all up, but they still have no results.

"Oh, you should be generous and not be shy. It's all about time. There is no taboo." The old lady of the Wu family with white hair, with a crutch, spoke to the beautiful Wu family juniors in front of her with a cane. She is of the same generation as Queen Wu. Now the head of the Wu family Wu family, Wu Zhengqing, is her eldest son. Although she doesn't care about the matter, everyone in the entire mansion respects her very much and understands her authority.

"The crown prince is such a noble person, and it is inevitable that he can't help but speak. You must take the initiative, don't be afraid, don't be shy." The old lady said with great thoughts.

"If you can be taken a fancy to you, in the future, our Wu family will also ascend to heaven."

"But the crown prince just doesn't like it. I've already made it clear that it has been several times." Someone pouted and complained.

"Yes? There are three beautiful foxes beside him? One of them left later, but two of them were with him..."

"I heard someone say that Qi Fang is not a wife in private? Is she a witch? She also asked the prefect to persecute her enemy in private. Mr. Yuan, who had previously reported the deceased, was killed by her..."

"Grandma? We think about it too, but Your Highness just refuses? We have no choice..." Someone said aggrievedly.

“…”

The old lady couldn't do it in the end? After all, it all depends on the wishes of the prince's grandson, so she had to comfort her and then told them to work hard, because in a few days, the prince's grandson was really leaving.

On the other side? Li Xingzhou in the yard enjoys his last leisure, but I am afraid that he will not be idle when he goes back this time.

Yelu Yali went to command the people to pack up their things. At some point, Qi Fang, who lives in another yard, also came.

"Your Highness is such a flower." She said inexplicably.

Li Xingzhou wondered, then smiled and said, "Do you mean I am good-looking?"

"Hmph?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

"Hehe, you just envy and jealous of me." Follow Qifang? He joked without caring: "If you attract bees and butterflies, you will attract bees and butterflies? You also need to be capitalized? If I hadn't been handsome and handsome, how could I attract bees and butterflies?"

"Your Highness seems to be very proud? The cesspool is easy to attract flies!"

Now there are probably only two people in the world who dare to talk to him like this, Qi Fang and Shi Yu, but Shi Yu would not say that, so Qi Fang was left.

Li Xingzhou was not angry either and half lying on the chair, "If you are jealous, be a fly by yourself. Anyway, we are not clear by you, and we have figured it out just now. Since we can't wash it even if we jump into the Yellow River, then don't wash it. They said it's just right.

Now we are considered dogs and women. Should we do something that dogs and women should do?" He teased nakedly.

"Hmph..." Qi Fang just hummed twice and didn't answer.

"When you go to the war next time you go to the war, you can follow the army and make some military achievements with me so that you can realize your promise to you at that time, and it will also shut up many people." Li Xingzhou said.

Qi Fang was surprised: "You still have to fight in person? Are Di Zhi, Liu Ji, and Chanlin all possible? Now, why do you need Your Highness?"

"We must try to establish prestige in the army while the emperor is still able to take charge of the court." Li Xingzhou said, "Otherwise, when I want to take charge of the center in the future, there will be no such opportunity. Besides, I want to go and see the northwest."

"But there will be threats when fighting. You are the crown prince, so you shouldn't be like this!"

Li Xingzhou pointed to the seat beside her and asked her to sit down, then said, "You have driven away the young ladies of the Wu family."

"So what..." Qi Fang said: "Your Highness, don't care about him."

"Look, you have selfishness, and everyone in the world has selfishness. No matter who sits in the general's position, I must have prestige in the army."

Qi Fang stopped refuting, "Okay, that's a matter of determination. I know the situation of the Xia Kingdom. If I want to send troops to the northwest, I must bring me with me."

Lee Sing-cheol nodded affirmatively.

.........

In early June, Li Xingzhou officially left Shuzhong. The Wu family, officials and people from Shuzhong all went to the river to see them off and watched them board the ship.

Then he followed the Minjiang River and entered the river, went east and north, and returned to Kaifeng.

After he left for half a year, the mansion had long been looking forward to him going home. Li Xingzhou also wanted to go home to hold his wife, and Yelu Yali also hugged her, but she had been hugging her for half a year and had to change her.

.........

This time he returned to the city, he was not as good as before. He himself was very low-key. Almost no one knew that he was back except for the servants sent by the royal palace.

He went home quietly. Gillian and Shiyu were teasing their two children in the yard, smiling and wondering what they were saying, but when they saw him, they stood up.

Gillian came over directly and hugged him gently, while Shiyu was more reserved. Li Xingzhou reached out to her and she fell into her arms.

After he returned home, as soon as he returned home, the whole house became lively. He Qian and Pu Chaling had already become obvious and they usually had to take care of him.

He Qian was very excited, and she was still very active and fussy when she was pregnant.

Pu Chaling is much lazy and quiet, more like a mother.

Li Xingzhou just came back and went to accompany them. Is the mother expensive by her son?

Then he accompanied Ah Jiao and Shiyu for a few days and listened to Yan Kun and Shiyu's reports on the situation in the mansion.

......

By mid-June, Li Xingzhou officially returned to the court and began to serve in court, but now his office has become the prefect of Kaiyuan Prefecture.

After he returned, the emperor successively awarded the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Taishi, which once again raised his position in participating in politics and affairs, and also gave him a legal basis for working in the royal palace.

Kaifu Yi and the three departments, Kaifu refers to the act of establishing a shogunate and subordinates in his own name. In this way, Li Xingzhou has the right to set up his own aides and officials without asking the court for approval.

Now he is also the prefect of Kaiyuan Prefecture, and his office is in Kaiyuan Prefecture. However, if he doesn't go, no one will really suppress him. After all, now that his prestige is there, he is full of fragrance even if he farts.

This is a game of power. If he does not have those contributions, even the crown prince must do everything carefully to avoid being impeached and losing the heart of the people.

But his credit was placed there, even if he didn't go, and let the judge and the Tongzhi go to do it.

Li Xingzhou didn't care about it all. Anyway, there were judges in big and big disputes, and there were co-magnesias in other matters. Kaiyuan's mansion was not far from the royal palace. If they had something they couldn't decide, they would come to the royal palace to find someone. If it was an urgent matter, they could not find him, so they would leave it to Shiyu to make a decision.

.........

After the matter was arranged, the implementation and restructuring of major events in the first half of this year has come to an end.

In general, he restrained Shuzhong and asked Shen Lin to promote it in the east with thunder means. Then he quickly transferred Shen Lin, who offended the people, to protect him, and asked Wei Yubai to withstand it.

Chanlin can be easily sing. He is both a warrior and has no background, but Wei Yubai is different. Her father is now the prefect of Youzhou and the governor of Guanbei Army. He holds a major city and is related to the stability and safety of the country. In addition, he has made great contributions, no one would want to offend him.

But in another month, Wei Yubai and Fang Xin can come back because the reform has been implemented almost the same, and the officials have also become aware of it.

Li Xingzhou was preparing for the second half of the year at this time, which was to organize all the craftsmen and new army joints in the royal palace to design a real gunboat!

Further improve the combat effectiveness of the New Army Navy.

By the end of this year, the new navy will be expanded to 20,000 people and the two divisions will be organized. The former New Army ship was a combination of landing ships and gunboats, which was a forced plan and now it needs to be improved.

There are two main reasons. One is that there is time now, the surrounding area is stable, and Jing Kingdom has established its authority in the battle, and Jin Kingdom is no match for other countries, so there is no need to think about it.

The second is that the army will not be used for the time being. The Xia Kingdom will fight, the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao land will be taken back. It is not this year or next year. First, the war preparations will be prepared. Second, Di Zhi made it clear that even in this era, the passing through is far less than that of the river, and the royal palace and the ships cannot pass through, so we need to wait for the gunboats to build equipment and the new army to fight.

Because almost all the important cities in Xia Kingdom are on the edge of the river.

Li Xingzhou is expected to take another year or two, and it depends on the efficiency of the royal palace.

.....

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Goryeo sent two hundred beautiful Goryeo maids over, and the emperor rewarded him. Li Xingzhou didn't keep it. The family was already resentful enough. He had already started soaking wolfberry, so he rewarded them all to the soldiers who had made contributions.

Dali, Tubo, and Xia countries also frequently give gifts.

However, the Jin Dynasty is now having a hard time. The 100,000 Mongolian army is approaching and attacking fiercely in the Wushabao area. The Jin Dynasty asked the court for help many times, and the court also solicited the opinions of Yang Hongzhao who stayed in the north.

Yang Hongzhao believed that although the Jin Kingdom was weak by Jing Kingdom, he could still bear it for the time being. He thought that the fortress group in the direction of Wusha Castle was very strong, and the Mongols were not good at attacking the city, so they could kill each other and not reinforce them for the time being.

If the Jin Kingdom cannot withstand it, the army can take the opportunity to go north and seize Shangjing first, and if they cannot defend it, they can rob it.

Of course, Yang Hongzhao said it more elegantly, saying that it was "to raise soldiers through war", but in fact everyone understands what it means, just like the most recommended supply method in military arts, "get food on the spot". Although it sounds nothing, it is actually burning, killing, looting.

In fact, it has been made clear from the beginning of "The Art of War". The most recommended way of supply is to solve it on the spot. Only when large-scale military use is used, if the army is not robbed enough, will a long logistics supply line be set up.

In ancient times, war was so cruel and ruthless, so the people said that thieves were like combs and soldiers were like combs.

Most soldiers, no matter which country they belong to, are basically organized burning, killing and looting, which is much more terrifying than sporadic bandits.

The court did not immediately reply to Yang Hongzhao, but waited until he came back and the emperor summoned him to discuss. Li Xingzhou thought Yang Hongzhao's proposal was very good.

Li Xingzhou also believed that the Jin Kingdom could still stick to it and would not be easily destroyed.

Even though Mongolia rose, the countries in the east were different from those in the west at this time.

The countries and tribes in the west were able to destroy more than a dozen of them each time they fought in the west, which only took a few short years, but on the eastern battlefield, several major countries were very strong.

It took Mongolia 22 years to destroy the Western Xia, 23 years to destroy the Jin Kingdom, and 44 years to fight against the Southern Song Dynasty, and a Khan died in battle.

So Li Xingzhou has reason to believe that even if the Jin Dynasty was destroyed by Mongolia, it would not be taken down in a short time. There were Liu Xu and Pu Chayi in the west, and Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Yingge in the east, so there were some things to beat.

However, in order to keep hope for the Jin Kingdom and restrain the consumption of the Mongols, Li Xingzhou gave an idea and asked Yang Hongzhao to inform the Jin Kingdom that Jing Kingdom had something to do in the country and could not make any moves, so that they could hold on for another year and would lend a helping hand to them next year.
