Next, Pan Mei left Danei, reunited with her family, drank and chatted with the brothers of the Imperial Guards, and saved the miserable women. It took seven days to work.

The bustling Tokyo city always makes people linger.

Afterwards, Bian Guangfan, the governor of Shandong East Road, also came to visit. Both of them studied, but there was no gap between civil and military affairs, and they had many topics together. Then they went to Xiangzhou together while talking and laughing.

Shannan East Road is only a few hundred miles away from Tokyo City. You can walk around and stop and arrive in Xiangzhou City soon.

Because the state is under the jurisdiction of the state and the Dao is under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang County, Xiangzhou is also called Xiangyang.

"Zhongxun, look, this mountain-nan Road leads the land of Jiuzhou and dozens of counties, but there are only 70,000 households. Moreover, the people under their rule go south every year, which is simply a dereliction of duty!"

Bian Guangfan is now 63 years old, gray-haired, but full of energy. As soon as he arrived in Xiangzhou, he hurried to the government office and had a preliminary understanding of the situation in each state.

After seeing it, he was furious, but he never expected that the situation would be so ruined.

"Don't worry, old envoy, the local situation has always been corrupt, otherwise why did the official family transfer you to come?"

Pan Mei drank a cup of tea and said with a smile.

He respected this smart and capable old minister very much, especially when he saw the food and grass that had been running the battle in Huainan, he admired him very much.

"Zhongxun, you are standing and talking without a pain!" Bian Guangfan sighed and said in great anger: "In the fifth year of Xiande, there are still 80,000 households on the Ministry of Revenue. Now, in just a few years, the household registration has not increased but decreased. Do you know where the people have gone?"

"It should be the Jingnan Mansion of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty!" Pan Mei put down her tea and pondered, cutting down tens of thousands of households, but in the Central Plains, it is the people of several states and should not be underestimated.

"It's Jingnan Prefecture!" Bian Guangfan said softly, "Before, Jingnan Prefecture was a prosperous place, and it belonged to the same place as us. Now, it emits wind again. As long as it goes, it will be divided into five acres of land, regardless of gender!"

"The area is narrow and dense. I guess the people will be moved to Langzhou and Lizhou, and maybe even directly to Changsha Prefecture. If we reduce one point, they will increase one point. However, the taxes and labor service have not changed. Once it is spread, the people will become more and more difficult and will go south. The sinister intentions can be seen!"

The political achievements of local officials are naturally the first priority in the troubled times, so the people have reduced their taxes, but the taxes have not changed, so they must be distributed evenly to others. In this way, what is left will be even more difficult and will naturally be in the south.

It's like a dead knot, difficult to separate.

"This is not possible!" Pan Mei frowned and said in a deep voice: "The less people, the less money and food, how can we raise soldiers? Old envoy, you have to find a way!"

He was also planning to redeem Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin with the money and grain from Shandong East. Judging from this situation, it must be difficult.

"Although Grand Marshal Murong is very good at fighting, he is extremely poor in governing the people. There are dozens of counties in the nine provinces and dozens of people, and the people are in trouble, making it cheaper to the south!"

Bian Guangfan sighed and said with a grudge: "It was a wealthy land, and it is no longer a problem to raise tens of thousands of soldiers, but now it seems that it is difficult."

"What do you think I'm doing?" Pan Mei said in confusion.

"Shannan East Road, the soldiers are stationed and the regiment trains. Together, there are about 30,000 soldiers. The elite is expensive, but not many. Elimination of ten thousand people, and raising 20,000 people is the most suitable. Only in this way can the people solve their difficulties a little!"

Bian Guangfan said seriously, with a very sincere look: "As far as I know, the Tang army in Jiangling City is only 50,000, and 20,000 people are the most appropriate."

When talking about reducing troops, Pan Mei's face changed suddenly and she hurriedly said: "No, the Guanghua Army is already in poor strength, so it is too late to increase the incident in Fangzhou, so you must not reduce it again!"

The two of them quarreled for a few words and reduced their soldiers by 5,000. Pan Mei had no choice but to treat it as eliminating the young and old.

...

"Bian Guangfan, Pan Mei?" The Sound and Sound Department of Xiangzhou had already learned about the change in Kaifeng that to this day, Li Jia finally waited for the two of them to take office, and couldn't help but sigh: "Pan Renmei's prototype, what a tragic character, has been passed down through the Yang family forever!"

"Let Yang Shifan not underestimate him, he is not an ordinary person!"

Above Jingnan Prefecture is Xiangyang. It can be said that its Guanghua Army directly threatened Jiangling City, while the two Shu prefectures were connected to Changsha through the narrow Jingnan Prefecture.

If Jingnan Prefecture is occupied, the two prefectures in Shu will definitely be lost, so you must be cautious.

"It seems that Zhao Kuangyin has really put his heart into it. He sent me a famous historical general. How good would it be if it were my fault?"

Li Jia murmured that he was extremely coveting of such famous generals. The lack of generals in the south is really not a lie.

The generals of the Tang Dynasty were led by Pan Chongche, Li Xin and Li Wei, and then Zhang Weiqing, Yang Shifan, Huang Yang, Huang Yong, Kuang Yi, Gao Yanqi, Li Zhiyuan, etc., as well as Zhang Wanghai, Zhou Kui and others of the navy, almost counted them. Top-level coaches are extremely scarce.

Pan Mei is definitely handsome, I must get it.

However, Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin thought that they would not know when they could naturalize...

"Kill--" In a plain area more than a hundred miles away from Changsha City, hundreds of cavalry were fighting each other. Their crotch were tall Khitan horses, with extremely quick movements and extremely powerful impact.

The two groups of cavalry had hundreds of hedges and fought. Although they were holding wooden knives, they were extremely powerful in cutting down. Many people were cut off their horses and wailed.

This is the newly formed cavalry training camp of the Imperial Guards, with a total of 5,000 war horses and 5,000 cavalry. The purpose is self-evident.

"Cough cough!" The war horse galloped, causing dust to fly up. Liu Guangyi kept coughing. He looked at the fierce cavalrymen and said:

"In the cavalry battle formation, horse lances are sharp weapons, followed by horse sabers and long spears. I don't know when the court can send some horse lances, so that the cavalry can be considered powerful!"

"It is not easy to make a horse spear, and it is too expensive, just like a cavalry!" Cao Bin shook his head, speechless at his words.

"Hehe, isn't this the Tang Dynasty's imperial court lacking money and food. The cavalry also prepared crossbows and arrows, and specially customized iron armor. Although the horse spear is precious, it has a good chance to send it!"

Liu Guangyi smiled and said disrespectfully: "It's only possible to ride after less than a year of training. If it really takes shape, it will take at least two years!"

"It's an infantryman, but it's not that easy to become a cavalry. Don't worry, men in the north are born with cavalry!" Cao Bin sighed.

The two of them were unwilling to surrender, but they didn't want to be prisoners. They could only help Tang Dynasty train cavalry by pseudonyms. This is also a way to make the best use of the goods. Over the past year, fulfilling is fulfilling, but it is too boring.
