"Eat and drink enough," Li Sihai pushed the plate, "and then set off."

Fifteen Chengying officers stood up together, and walked out with great strides. There was another snowfall. A chill passed through the door and entered the inn. Fifteen good horses had been replaced. The water bags and bags were tied behind the saddle. There was no need to do any more tidying up. Li Sihai nodded with satisfaction. Although Henan was in the territory of Song, the owner arranged and cared for them all the way.

"Start" He whipped the horse hard and neighed, galloping with his hooves

More than ten riders followed closely and rushed into the wind and snow.

"Arrogant guy" Xia Biao took a sip of wine and frowned, "He ***, a young man who needs to be cleaned up."

Through the opened curtains, Jia Yuanzhen also saw the scene outside. He was secretly surprised to find Henan. Although many Liao army horses were seized, the Song army cherished them very much, even if Xia Biao was the commander of the first army, he would walk on foot when entering and leaving. He was reluctant to go on horseback and galloped. He could almost catch up with the court's golden-shaped card "rushing hand" for the important military situation. "Who is this? And why?" The other officers persuaded each other to drink and play. Jia Yuanzhen shook a glass of wine and fell into deep thought.

"The whole of Bianliang," said Cao Liangshi, standing on the Xiangguo Temple Bridge, "There is only this river left, but it is not the same as before."

"Zi said on the river that the dead are like this, and he will never let go of day and night." Zhao Xingde felt a little pain in his heart, and his face was slightly dark, "When the Liao people withdrew their troops, they had already destroyed most of Bianliang. There is no other way. The soldiers cannot fight against the Liao people with wooden sticks." He sighed, "The two evils are in power, and the ones who take the minority will not be able to save anything."

After the recovery of Henan, the Tokyo Left-behind Office expanded 100,000 imperial guards and 400,000 troops camps and regiments were trained. The weapons and armor were short of the armor carried by the Northern Expedition, and the remaining weapons of the various prefectures and counties. Most of the weapons abandoned by the Liao people were not qualified, and the food and grass transported in the southeast were insufficient. The soldiers and armor could not be counted on Cao Di and Yue Fei in Wusheng Pass. In order to prevent accidents, the Prime Minister's Office worked hard to expand the Southeast camp, and the soldiers and armor were given priority to Wang Gui. Many camps built in Henan were trained with sharpened wooden sticks at the beginning.

Now the original appearance of the streets on both sides of Bianhe Street is no longer visible. In addition to the slightly tidy east-west warehouse area, Jinxiu Bianliang has become a simple and harsh workshop, chaotic, full of shit, urine and messy smell. The White Jade Palace has become a good hall, crowded with plague patients and other patients. Other remaining palaces have also opened the palace gates. The Tokyo Left-behind Department arranged for homeless people to live in Daxiangguo Temple to escape. Not only were the gold and bronze Buddha statues removed, but the gold powder on the roof was also scraped.

Before leaving, the Liao army set fire to the Hanlin Academy and the workshop of the East and West Eight Workshop. After Zhao Xingde recovered Bianliang, he did not renovate the palace according to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites. Instead, he recruited a large number of craftsmen and apprentices, and converted all the well-preserved houses such as Daxiangguo Temple and Cai Taishi's mansion into workshops. Because these two places are close to the wharf and are convenient for transportation, the workshops for smelting iron smelting are placed here, while the kilns for burning bricks and charcoal are placed in the upper reaches of the Bian River, the workshops for casting cannons and fired holes and forging iron smelting are placed in the lower reaches

Under the guidance of Chunyu Iron Factory craftsmen, high kilns have been towering on both sides of the Bian River. In the dark night, the fire is shining in the sky, and thick smoke is spewing during the day, dyeing half of the sky of Bianliang into gray. The sound of iron thrust is constantly scattered day and night. The nearby houses are covered with a layer of charcoal and gray along the water of the Bian River. The scrap copper and iron are rotten in various places, the ore in Guanzhong, the carbide in Hedong, local fired wood and carbon, Guanxi cotton, the wool in Hedong, the white salt in Gaochang, and the ice sledges are transported in in the workshop.

Turned into muskets, cannons, iron armor, gun punctures, various gunpowders, cotton coats, and loaded on sleds to transport them to various workshops in Henan. The water of the Bian River was introduced into various workshops. What flowed out was mixed with residue, black wastewater. Even if the river surface was frozen, the workshop still discharged sewage into the ice surface. The entire Bian River became turbid. The frozen river surface was no longer a white jade belt, but a dirty and black color like mud. Dead fish and shrimps floated under the ice layer. The two sides of the river were filled with rotten, fishy smell, scorch and sulfur.

After the Liao army withdrew, Bianliang had become an empty city, but the left-behind officials moved a large number of people into the city, which increased the population of the city by 120 fasts in the Taixue School, and most of them were destroyed by war. The rest lived in the people. Usually, the two had to live in the vegetarian houses. Now some people had to live in seven or eight people, not only Bianliang, but also in Henan. In order to prevent the harassment of robbers, the military farm officials restricted the people to build villages and live together. Before dawn, the people had to walk for an hour at most before they reached the fields they cultivated.

When the sun was almost dusk, these people returned to their villages to live in the villages and used this method of removing firewood from the cauldron. After quickly quelling the bandits in Henan, the left-behind officials not only maintained the ban, but also urged local officials to continue to strengthen and thicken the villages, and promulgated the creation of houses to expand the houses. As a result, the entire Henan ground was noisy and crowded at night, and outside the city was like a ghost. No one dared to live alone outside the villages outside the city.

After the canal transportation was completed, Cao Liangshi set out with the grain fleet, and swept the ice sled in the Huai River to enter the Bian River. He was worried and frowned all the way. This time he went north. In addition to escorting grain and grass, he also had the important task of observing the situation in Henan. What he saw along the way was devastated and he didn't know when he could recover his vitality. Entering Tokyo City, this feeling became more obvious, and he could also realize that Zhao Xingde's difficulty in maintaining the situation in Henan, Shang Province, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Six Ministry and other yamen were burned down by the Liao army and some of the palaces remained. However, it was impossible to serve as a yamen office, the Tokyo Left-behind Department could only be set up in the Youguo Temple where the monks fled. Anyway, all kinds of Buddha statues in the hall were either moved away by the Liao army or destroyed into rubble. The various yamen in the Tokyo Left-behind Department could be held as a businessman as soon as they moved in.

"Enjoy Henan, Yuanzhi is invaluable," Cao Liangshi sat down, and said without even taking a sip of tea, "However, someone in the court impeached you that the government is not in line with the system of the court. It is a different path of civil and military affairs. The layers of checks and balances are taken from top to bottom. The supervisors are under the control of the road, and the prefectures are under the control of the prefectures and counties. The prefectures and counties are under the control of the large and small guarantees. The protections and commands are suppressed from the lower level. The township is in the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the prefectures and the prefectures are transferred from the lower level. In addition, the township has the chief, and the prefectures and commanders are not in charge of the prefectures and counties. Although they are not the official service, they are also the regular system of the state. Nowadays, the prefectures and counties are still in the land of Henan. Although the prefectures and counties are still in the power of the prefectures and counties, the township chiefs, the clerks, and the chiefs are all deposed to the garrison officials, camp officials, and the civil officials and the civil officials are also in charge of military and political affairs. It seems that Yuanzhi has anything to say during the Five Dynasties?"

"The matter of military farming must naturally be used to use the military farming system." Zhao Xingde smiled and said, "The world changes and time changes, how can you carve a boat and ask for a sword?"

"The court system is not a joke," Cao Liangshi sighed, "We cannot give people a handle."

"Preserve the imperial system?" Zhao Xingde shook his head and asked, "Those who impeached and criticized Zhao may be verbally verbally, but I am not my own will. But if they fulfill their wishes, the people in Henan will lose all their hearts and the land will not be protected. Henan is short of people, food and money. Now, the only thing is the only land to be honest. I want to use the fields to tie people's hearts. Raising enough money and food is not the case. I cannot hold the people firmly. If it is like before, not to mention the government army, the people will be a mess again. Once the Liao people crossed Henan, it will be easy to drive cattle and sheep and drive them up like driving cattle and sheep, not only can they not restore Hebei, but even Henan cannot be protected." After saying that, Zhao Xingde sighed deeply, and looked out the window. The heavy snow pressed down the branches of the pine trees.

These days, he has been sleeping day and night, and has made every effort to raise food and money. Although many staff members have deployed and shared the burden on military and civil affairs, he has almost exhausted him. All kinds of affairs have just been on the right track. There have been bullets of stamps on the southeastern prefectures and counties. Then, it has been reported that the Ministry of War Shang Cao Liangshi went north and may replace him. Most of the people who attacked Zhao Xingde in the court were rich people who moved south and moved south and sold the land to the people at a low price. Although the land deeds and house deeds in these people did not become waste paper, they could only exchange for a note from the left-behind yamen.

Originally, there were thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, and even the land was even in the prefectures and counties. Naturally, the wealthy families of the country were unwilling to settle down. These people were quite powerful in the court. They first seized the fact that Henan's governance was not in line with the court system. Some scholars found out the case of slaughtering monks, accusing Zhao Xingde of taking care of human lives and asking the court to give an explanation to the people of the world. Among the scholars of each prefecture, county and county, there were many people who admired Zhao Xingde. There were almost a quarrel in the schools in various prefectures and counties, which caused a lot of controversy. Although Chen Dong believed in Zhao Xingde, he still asked Cao Liangshi to go to Henan to observe the situation. After all, he had the identity of Xia State.

After a long quiet time, Cao Liangshi broke the silence: "Brother Zhao, let me ask you, when you first recovered the Central Plains, you sent an envoy to report that if the money and food were not enough, you would have to borrow grain from Xia State. But do you really prepare for this?" At that time, the Lishe Society was in stalemate with Hou Huanyin, and Cao Di blocked the road north. Although Zhao Xingde only sent a message, Wu Zilong had to resign and replace Deng Su as the Minister of Rites. The emperor issued an edict to say peace, and the dispute between the two parties was temporarily quelled. Because of this, Wu Zilong hated Zhao Xingde. Chen Dong and Cao Liangshi also increased his doubts about Zhao Xingde, worried that he would suddenly carry the whole of Henan to the Xia State.

"Brother Cao," Zhao Xingde took a deep breath of air and said calmly, "Since you and I learn the way of Master Huang, you should know that the world is not the world of one person, nor is it the world of one day. It is because of the world of the world. Those who win the hearts of people will win the world. If the court complies with this area, the people's hearts will be stable. Brother Cao does not have to ask this question. If the court does not send money and food and sits on the tragedy of Henan, why should Brother Cao ask this question again?"
