Lin Jianyue had occupied the entire Jinghu Road as early as November, and encountered no resistance along the way. It was said that the troops were not bloody. There were actually quite a lot of garrison troops in each prefecture and county, which surprised Lin Jianyue. It seemed that Zhong Zhenhua was very kind and had reserved people to maintain basic order. There were also many local officials left besides the chief officials. Lin Jianyue felt that Zhong Zhenhua should also be given a chance.

On the banks of Dongting Lake and on the Yueyang Tower, Lin Jianyue was excitedly watching the popular poems left by celebrities of various eras.

Lin Jianyue smiled and said to Liu Bingyun, Li Shangxin, Chu Qing and other literati, "Mr. Wen Zheng advocated that the idea of ​​worrying about the world before and having fun after being happy has a great influence on me. In order to recite and understand this poem, Mr. Han Yuheng had hit us a lot when he was young. At that time, my greatest wish was to be a literati like Wen Zhenggong who left his name in history. I dreamed of taking the Jinshi exam for several years, but unfortunately I really didn't have that talent. I heard that Mr. Han had also taken the exam many times, and in the end he was a little scholar. I don't understand. In theory, Mr. Han is very talented, why can't he pass the exam?"

Chu Qing flattered: "Mr. Wen Zheng is naturally extraordinary. He is very talented and worried about the country and the people. However, his life's achievements are still pale in comparison to His Highness's great achievements today."

Lin Jianyue shook his head and said, "It's different. I just happened to be lucky. I'm not so great. Without Lin Jianyue, there would be Wang Jianyue and Zhang Jianyue. Wen Zhenggong was really amazing. Thousands of years later, I don't remember many people. At most, there were a few historical books, Miao Miao wrote, but there were countless people who remember Wen Zhenggong. However, this is the charming and powerful thing about our Han culture. Countless people like Wen Zhenggong supported the Han Dynasty.

The backbone of a person. I am not jealous, only envy. You are all very talented, and you still have the opportunity to become a famous person like Wen Zhenggong. Jiangnan has a rich cultural heritage. The veteran General Liu Jingye did a good job in Hedong. He specially established a college to ensure the inheritance of Han culture. Jiangnan also did a good job, but the direction seems to be a bit biased. I don’t understand these things. You understand them. I just think that it’s not enough to do things alone, and we have to cultivate the courage, blood and self-confidence of our Han people.”

Everyone understood the meaning of encouragement here.

Before everyone could flatter, Lin Jianyue changed his mind and said: "Even if Zhong Zhenhua has many things, it is okay to govern the people. After leaving here, it still ensures people's livelihood and basic order. Do you think this Yueyang Tower is intact? He is not a tyrannical person, but he is also a meritorious person, reducing our troubles. Qi Yunji was an allies first and then turned aside, and now he is together again. It seems that Qi Yunji is very capable. Zhong Zhenhua is not such a good person. Except for both sides of the Yangtze River, the rest of Kuizhou Road is mostly high mountains and plateaus. People live in a weak livelihood and cannot support the army of Zhong Qi and the others. I guess, I dare not fight them, but I will soon send an envoy to see me. How should we treat these two?"

Li Shangxin said first: "Qi Yunji is completely different from when he was in the court before. It can be seen that he is hiding deep, his scheming is unpredictable and difficult to control, and there are great hidden dangers. Zhong Zhenhua has long been in charge of military and political power. Some time ago, he actually dared to ask His Highness for the title of King of Shu. It can be seen that his ambition is not small. It would be fine if they voluntarily surrender, otherwise they should take advantage of the situation to attack and destroy them. There is no need to negotiate terms with them."

Lin Jianyue did not speak, and Chu Qing did not participate in a comprehensive event, so he did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Bingyun continued to say, "Qi Yunji's mind is deep and should not be underestimated. Qi Zhonghe's united troops are strong. If you want to attack him, you need to transfer troops from the Central Plains. The time is wrong. It is better to leave Kuizhou Road there as a barrier to resist the Western Army. Your Highness, the problem now is to prevent Qi Yunji and the others from colluding with Shu. If that happens, it will be dangerous. It is recommended to transfer some troops in Jiangnan to Jinghu Road to garrison them, and be unified under Wu Yi's jurisdiction and reorganization."

Lin Jianyue nodded: "Cao Shumi has sent Cao Sheng to lead tens of thousands of troops to Tanzhou, and the Zhennan Army has nearly 200,000 troops. We are the first to arrive in Jiangnan, and we are still focusing on stabilizing ourselves. Chu Jingluo, you have done a good job in Huaixi and have a stable livelihood. Now you are ordered to appease the Jinghu Road. Huaixi can be temporarily handed over to Mr. Li Shangxin and Mr. Li."

Although Jiangnan has surrendered to himself on the surface, if people from the Central Plains are sent to manage them, no matter how big the policy changes are, it will cause great doubts and uneasiness to the gentry in Jiangnan. Chu Qing has been tested and can fully implement his own ideas and strategies, use them with confidence, and is easily accepted by people in Jiangnan. Lin Jianyue knew that once these people united to resist, his next policy would not be implemented.

When fighting, Lin Jianyue thought it was okay, but he still had a self-knowledge of internal affairs. The key was how to employ people and determine the principle of general direction.

The core areas of the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Han land are already in control, and the central government agencies are also at the time when they must be established. It is definitely inappropriate to just use Liu Bingyun and his group of people, and they do not understand the comprehensive situation. The Jiangnan gentry represented by Wang Gui must be used well and must be reused.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianyue smiled and said to Liu Bingyun: "I will go to Yangzhou in a few more days. Mr. Li and Chu will return to their respective territories. Mr. Liu will follow me to meet Mr. Wang and communicate more to see how to unifiedly manage the Central Plains and formulate new development policies."

Liu Bingyun understood Lin Jianyue's meaning. Although Lin Jianyue jokingly called him prime minister many times, he still couldn't become prime minister. What does communicating with Wang Gui mean? It means giving him time to understand Jiangnan and to improve his ability to control the overall situation.

Liu Bingyun smiled and said, "It is convenient to control the Yangtze River. I can't compare to Your Highness. I can ride a horse for thousands of miles and travel freely. You can drive down the waterway from Dongting Lake, and it's much more comfortable to take a boat. Your Highness, I hope to meet Mr. Wang as soon as possible and discuss the distribution of materials. The canal from Yangzhou to Xuzhou has been cleared, but the waterway from Xuzhou to Kaifeng is still far apart, and it is estimated that it will take at least one year."

Seeing that Liu Bingyun understood his thoughts, Lin Jianyue patted his shoulder encouragedly and said, "The canal is very important. Now that we have more troops, we need a lot of money, grain and materials. Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang Gui are very wise, but not all people in Jiangnan think so. I go to Jiangnan just to show my face to warm up with everyone. The specific matter depends on how you do it."

While he was talking, Lin Jianyue received a secret report from the Butterfly Yisi. Qi Yunji found them in some way, saying that he was going to Yueyang to ask for a meeting with him.

Lin Jianyue smiled at everyone and said, "Qi Yunji actually wants to see me in person, and can contact the Butterfly Clothes Division by himself. This made me look up at him, but I just come and say hello first. What are he afraid of? I, Lin Jianyue, is that cruel?"

Liu Bingyun shook his head: "Qi Yunji is not afraid of Your Highness, he is afraid of us. He is worried that before he sees Your Highness, he will be chopped off by our subordinates who don't like him in advance."
