Calculate the time, Liangshan Army has been gathering in Yunyou for more than three months.

The reason why he has been slow to attack Yanjing is mainly because Juyong Pass and Zijing Pass are too steep, and Yelu Dashi is a famous general of the world, so he does not give any gaps to Xu Guanzhong and others. If it is a strong attack, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, without Li Yan's personal order, Xu Guanzhong did not dare to issue an order to attack.

What puzzled Xu Guanzhong and others was that Li Yan never gave a strong attack order, and recently he focused all his energy on people's livelihood, such as autumn harvest, dredging rivers, tax exemption, business, education, medical care, imperial examinations, childbirth, public security, etc. In short, it seems that he is not ready to attack Yanjing.

With Li Yan's personal attention, local soldiers helped to collect it. Although the frost this year was a little earlier, all the crops were harvested in time.

The people of Yundi ushered in a great harvest.

In addition, Li Yan implemented a land division policy and a tax exemption policy.

Every household in Yundi has a full grain of grain.

What surprised the people of Yundi was that the Chameng rice they tried to plant was high-yield, premature and drought-resistant, and was much better than the rice they planted before.

Many families are ready to plant Chameng rice next year.

...

The Sanggan River and Yang River, which have been in trouble for several years in Yundi, have finally caused no harm this year, even if there is more rain this year than in any previous year.

The reason for this is naturally due to the waters and waters of Liangshan, which have left no effort to manage.

...

Shuibo Liangshan exempts all taxes closely related to the public, such as agricultural tax, salt tax, etc., and the exemption will last for three years, and only commercial taxes such as commercial tax, alcohol tax, stamp duty, etc.

Although commercial tax is collected, Shuibo Liangshan does not prohibit business. On the contrary, it also greatly encourages the development of business. For this reason, Shuibo Liangshan has also introduced a series of policies to encourage business, such as opening banks to issue paper money, providing low-interest loans to merchants with projects, such as opening markets, grass markets and night markets, etc....

...

In terms of education, it was definitely the most effort that Shuibu Liangshan had built 500 schools in one go and collected more than 20,000 students.

This is only the first phase. Shuibo Liangshan plans to build another thousand schools in Yundi within two years. In fact, the key is that teachers are not easy to train. Fortunately, starting next year, the earliest group of students in Jeju, Lelang and Zhenfan counties will start to graduate from elementary school one after another. It is barely enough to select some to carry out basic education.

...

Shuibo Liangshan has also invested a lot of effort in the medical field. At present, each prefecture has opened at least two large medical halls, each county has opened a medium-sized medical hall. In addition, Shuibo Liangshan also plans to build a small medical hall in each village.

Moreover, the large and medium-sized medical halls founded by Shuibo Liangshan break the tradition and implement separate diagnosis and treatment, and of course, there are comprehensive management departments.

In addition, medical care is not charged for the time being, and a certain fee will be charged in the future. This will last for a long time. Free medical care is really unaffordable and is not conducive to long-term development.

...

The imperial examination has been held as scheduled, and many talents and more cultivated talents have been selected.

Zhao Ding allocated all of this group of talents to assist the officials who were docked in Liangshan to manage the cloud land together.

With their joining, the people of Yundi began to accept the governance of Shuibo Liangshan.

...

In addition, Shuibo Liangshan strongly encourages childbirth and set up a heavy reward for every child born, regardless of gender, and a three-yuan support fee will be rewarded with an additional one-year exemption of agricultural tax and salt tax.

This is something Li Yan is committed to implementing.

In Li Yan's view, population is the hard truth. No one wants to develop, it is purely a fool, especially in this ancient society.

...

Now the army is no longer out of the people's sight, and all those who maintain public order have become three yamen runners familiar to the people.

Moreover, Shuibo Liangshan has issued strict laws and made them public. When the government judges cases, everything is based on the law and no favoritism and fraud is allowed.

...

In short, everything in Yundi was on the right track, which made everyone who suspected that Shuibo Liangshan only knew how to fight and not govern. Many people who had escaped into the mountains before also returned to Yundi one after another.

On this day, Li Yan, who was watching the beautiful girl chosen by the Ministry of Rites, suddenly received a report from the eunuch: "Empress Xiao sent an envoy to ask for peace."

While continuing to pick the beautiful girl he liked, Li Yan said, "Tell Hu Yanqing and let him tell the envoy sent by Xiao Puxian, that I only accept unconditional surrender and all other interviews."

Xiao Huai and Li Mao stayed in Yunzhong Mansion for more than ten days. They wanted to see Li Yan, but asked Li Yan in person to pay the money or not to pay the land, but the reply they received was all Li Yan was busy and had no time to see them.

Later, Li Mao bribed the hospitality who entertained them and learned that Li Yan had been lying with the new girl recently and didn't even care much about the court affairs, so how could he have time to pay attention to them?

Xiao Huai and Li Mao were very disappointed!

On the one hand, they were disappointed that Li Yan did not accept their Liao Kingdom's surrender!

On the other hand, they were disappointed that Li Yan was addicted to women and could not extricate himself from being addicted to women and being a capable monarch. How could he be so addicted to women and being so addicted to women? You, Li Yan, have not even reached the prime, and you, have shed the Nanshan Mountain before you even climbed?

The next day, Xiao Huai and Li Mao left Yunzhong Prefecture and returned to Yanjing.

As soon as Xiao Huai and Li Mao left, Li Yan came out of the gentle village, and then personally led the Ma Jun and the Bai Jun to Xinzhou.

As soon as he arrived in Xinzhou, Li Yan ordered: "Prepare for war and prepare to seize Yanjing by force."

Li Yan had never ordered the capture of Yanjing by force before, one was because there were dangerous passes such as Juyong Pass, Zijing Pass, and Gubeikou to block it, two was because the Liao army still had the power to fight, and three was because Li Yan wanted to see if the Song army would be defeated by the Liao army again as in history.

Needless to say, the first two are the ones. If a barbarian attacker occurs, there will definitely be considerable casualties. If a third party occurs, it will definitely be the most beneficial to Li Yan.

First of all, as long as the Liao and Song dynasties start, Li Yan can fight against the snipe and the clam to the fisherman gain profit.

Secondly, the Liao Kingdom lacked enough troops. If you want to fight the Song Kingdom, you must take the risk of garrison troops from Juyongguan, Gubeikou and other places, so that the Liangshan Army can break through these dangerous passes at a very small price.

Again, if the more than 500,000 Song troops could not even defeat 20,000 or 30,000 Liao troops, then the prestige of Zhao Ji's ruler and ministers would definitely be ruined, and it would be much easier to seize the Northern Song Dynasty at that time.

Therefore, Li Yan has been waiting.

Until three days ago, Chai Jin and Yan Qing suddenly sent back news to Li Yan: "The Song army sent Guo Yaoshi, Zhao Heshou, Gao Shixuan, Yang Keshi, and Yang Kebi to lead 6,000 elite cavalry to attack Yanjing, and Liu Guangshi to lead a large army to support him."

Seeing this secret report, Li Yan laughed to the sky, "The opportunity has finally come!"

So, as soon as Xiao Huai and Li Mao left, Li Yan brought the army to Xincheng and prepared to personally command this crucial battle...
Chapter completed!
