This is the fourth day Du Shiyi stayed in Zhending City, Changshan County.

Strictly speaking, as the commander of the marching, he only cared for marching and fighting, and should not interfere in local government affairs. However, he not only recruited the marshal, but also served as the right prime minister of the Secretariat, the former Secretariat. Now he is not in Chang'an to handle government affairs, but he can take charge of the affairs of the prefectures and counties he passed along the way. What's more, if he does not immediately recruit officials to handle affairs, the counties after the rebellion may even lead to civil unrest. In addition, he knows that Youzhou is a strong city, and there is no big difference between arriving under the city one day or one day, so he would rather make preparations solidly.

The grain and grass needed for this march were personally transported by Li Cheng, the former Dongdu left behind, in the east of Luoyang, located at the junction of the canal and the official road for transportation. Before the Ye County was captured, it was sent from the Jianghuai River to Heyin through the Bian River, and then supplied three armies under Du Shiyi by land. Now Ye County is recovered, and only six counties in the northernmost Youzhou Fanyang County remain in Hebei. Therefore, the grain transport can be divided into two groups, one of which is still transported from Heyin by land, and the other can be transported from Heyin by water, and then sent to Dezhou Pingyuan County through Yongji Canal, and then transported to Hebei counties. This is to supply the army and also supply the military and civilians of the counties that had been severely damaged before. The Yongji Canal, the canal opened by Emperor Yang of Sui to conquer Goryeo, has now become the lifeline for supporting the army, and also allows the military and civilians of the twenty-four counties in Hebei to breathe.

Therefore, Yan Zhenqing, the prefect who was in charge of Pingyuan County in Dezhou and kept Pingyuan County, took on a crucial responsibility. But until now, Du Shiyi had not had time to meet his junior brother. Just seeing that Yan Zhenqing was able to safely protect Pingyuan County when all the twenty-four counties in Hebei fell, he was not worried about the current transfer of food and grass for the army.

As soon as he returned from the execution ground with Yan Gaoqing, he entered Yan Gaoqing's study. In addition to the previously discussed methods of reassurance such as rent-free taxes, his purpose was to use heavy punishments for the rebels who fled the countryside and those who took the opportunity to harm the chaos. Yan Gaoqing naturally agreed completely about this. However, Du Shiyi took advantage of the severe damage to the landlords of the aristocratic family and asked him to organize clerks to investigate the land acres immediately, and Yan Gaoqing was a little hesitant.

"Hebei was initially determined, and I don't know how many people were displaced. If we cannot immediately determine all the land and acres of land and acres immediately, how to settle the people in the future? If the rebellion is quelled and the common people cannot settle down immediately, then the chaos will never be quelled. Over the years, the national system of Cheng Ding's 100 mu of land has been destroyed in name only, especially Hebei has suffered heavy damage. If rent adjustments and household taxes and local taxes are still collected according to the previous standards, then it will not be the rebels who are in chaos, but the people are living in poverty and the officials force the people to rebel. If you want to be in great governance after the chaos, you must cut the mess quickly."

By checking the land, we can take advantage of the opportunity to implement two taxes in Hebei.

Of course Yan Gaoqing could not understand Du Shiyi's deep meaning, but Du Shiyi was worried that the common people would occupy the fields after they fled their homes to the countryside bullies or others. How could he not understand this meaning? He was shocked and only pondered for a moment, then bowed deeply: "I can escape the disaster by chance from the rebels. Since the marshal said so thoroughly and could do something practical for the people, I should not avoid misfortunes and good fortune."

Du Shiyi was overjoyed by Yan Gaoqing's prestige to take on this matter with the prestige of Yan Gaoqing's first campaign. He immediately held Yan Gaoqing's hand tightly and said happily: "In the near future, I will report to Your Majesty the matter of asking for rent and taxes from all prefectures and counties in Hebei, and please report to Your Majesty to the matter of investigating land and counties in Hebei. Brother Yan is the one who takes the lead in the land and the matter of collecting land and counting the land and abundance. But I can make it clear to Brother Yan that this time, the land will not be used to plunder the people's wealth and wealth to enrich the national treasury, but to make a living for the people."

The most important thing that Yu Wenrong was criticized for presiding over the Kuotian Kuohu was that the large amount of money he received was put into the treasury and enriched the Taifu, allowing Li Longji to build Xingqing Palace and Furong Garden more and enjoy it. The real benefits to the people were very limited, so once the preferential period passed, the people immediately fled again. So the reason for Du Shiyi's move out this time was to benefit the people. After all, when the two-year rent in Hebei and the large families of officials and families in Hebei were exempted from the rebels, the rent would be changed to two taxes that were taxed on land and a lot of taxes would be faced.

Although it is cruel in a sense, it is possible to implement reform only after the original superstructure has been brutalized.

When Du Shiyi came out of Yan Gaoqing's study, he saw a figure walking back and forth in the yard guarded by Ya Bing, and it was obvious that it had arrived for a while.

"Hui'en? Could it be that there is any important battle report?"

Pugu Huaien has indeed been here for a long time. Hearing this sound, he suddenly turned around and looked up, and then strode towards him. But when he avoided answering Du Shiyi's question, he bowed and said respectfully: "Marcel, the last general is entrusted by Marshal Guo, Marshal Cheng and the generals in the army, so he is waiting for the Marshal here. Everyone has something to say to the Marshal."

Du Shiyi and Pu Gu Huaien have been in love for many years, but they usually talk and laugh without any attention when they are discussing things in the festival. At this moment, he was surprised to see the other party in such a situation. Moreover, Pu Gu Huaien directly put Guo Ziyi, Cheng Qianli and other generals on the table as a reason, unless something big will definitely not be like this. So, after staring at the other party for a long time, he saw that he had no intention of explaining, he immediately said helplessly: "Okay, since you are tight-lipped, I will meet Ziyi, Qianli and others now. They will not keep you from keeping your mouth like you."

When Du Shiyi followed Pugu Huaien to the lobby of the Changshan Prefect's Mansion, he discovered that all the generals and corpses of the three armies had arrived, and the huge main hall was full. Guo Ziyi and Cheng Qianli, the leader, stood in front, and there was nothing they could do except be solemn on the faces of the two. And those who stood under the throne were Azle, Xue Song and Li Huaiyu. Azle did not look at him, and Xue Song and Li Huaiyu were different. When he looked at him, he immediately opened his eyes guiltily. At that moment, he immediately understood the origin of this situation today.

It's still the incident

Du Shiyi, who was open in his heart, sat down calmly. The reason why he immediately issued a ban order was because he was afraid that there would be problems in the battle of Ye County, and he was also afraid that Pu Gu Huaien was distracted when he led the cavalry to attack Changshan. But now only six counties including Youzhou were left in front. In addition, the news from Chang'an gradually spread, and the paper could not keep the fire. The explosion after he suppressed his remarks before rebounded particularly strongly. However, hiding such news is different from hiding other news. It only benefits and does not harm him.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Guo Ziyi and Cheng Qianli didn't say anything. Gu Huai'en, who had just been single, didn't say anything. However, a general in the Hedong Army in Xiatou stood up first: "Do you know when the marshal returned to Chang'an under the imperial edict and was lucky to be with His Majesty to the Sixteenth King's House, he was really attacked and killed by King Yong Li and his son?"

This straightforward problem did not come from Anbei and Shuofang troops, but was the Lieutenant General of the Hedong Army who took the lead in the attack. Nothing else, it was because of the encounter of Wang Zhongsi, the former Hedong Jiedu governor. Therefore, someone started to start. Lieutenant General of the Hedong Army immediately became a commotion, verifying the details one by one. In the end, Cheng Qianli couldn't stand it and turned around to press it. Guo Ziyi felt the pressure of the general of the Shuofang Army behind him and had to speak out: "Marson, the rumors are now scattered in the army. If there is no consolation statement, I am afraid that there will be more different opinions. Please ask the Marshal to solve the doubts for everyone."

"Originally, there is nothing to say." Seeing the buzzing discussion from the bottom, Du Shiyi's expression turned sharply, and his eyes suddenly swept away. He immediately said silently, "At that time, I was in Ye County. Due to the urgent military situation, our side was newly defeated, and the morale of the army was all depressed. He ordered the followers and the vanguard camp not to disclose this matter. Those who violated their orders will be killed without mercy. Although the siege of Changshan has been lifted, the situation is very good, but if possible, I wish I would never mention this matter. Since you are gathered in the hall today, I will not be able to hide the feelings of that day."

Du Shiyi did not have any pretentiousness and explained the situation that day in a concise manner. After he finished speaking, a dead silence immediately appeared in the lobby. After all, although Pugudang found some seemingly lifelike details from Ashina Chengqing's entourage, after all, it was said by outsiders that it was a bit more fuel-evil and rumored. However, the thrilling parts of it were less exaggerated and more plain, but how could those legendary versions be compared with those?

But the more this happened, the more they felt their throats were astringent and they felt choked. At that time, the rebels were still entrenched in Hebei, with more than 100,000 troops. How could Li Longji dare to take this bad decision and order King Yong Li Xing to assassinate Du Shiyi, and then even planned to put all the blame on the King Yong? If Li had not had other plans, what chaos would Hebei face now?

"Okay, the father and son of Li have been killed, and now they have been deprived of the king's title and demoted their descendants to common people. This matter ends here. Youzhou is right in front of you. But please put aside these miscellaneous thoughts and do only one thing, work together to calm down this rebellion that harms the people of the world."

Du Shiyi said this with a decisive thought, then stood up, first went to the three generals at the forefront and said in a deep voice: "Ziyi, Qianli, Huai'en, among the three armies, you will lead your generals to Xuanfu, and be sure to calm these rumors. Just say it was my words. In the past, the life of human life was as low as grass. Now that the quelling of the chaos is near, we should move forward bravely and eliminate this military disaster. I will definitely ask for the meritorious soldiers, and reward the court on the merits and how your majesty, and leave these thoughts behind, and first do the duties of being a soldier and defending the country."

At this point, even though he faintly realized that Du Shiyi was not without resentment, whether Guo Ziyi or Cheng Qianli, he felt that there was no way to persuade him, so he could only agree silently and persuade his generals to leave.

Du Shiyi's pacification of Mobei can be said to be a destruction of the country. However, once he was in danger, the emperor was indifferent and ordered that no troops should be sent to rescue him. After making great contributions to suppress the rebellion, the emperor would be determined to kill. As a minister, who would not be disappointed? What's more, Guo Ziyi was not allowed to send troops privately to rescue Chang'an. Cheng Qianli even recommended the soldiers to expel the military. It would be a fantasy to say that their position would be trusted. If Du Shiyi really died, they would be cut off their military power in the future, and even killed and sentenced to death, that kind of ending would probably be destined. What's more, Li Longji was so stupid that he was still in love with the throne and refused to go. It was so disappointing.
