The peace and chaos in Jiankang City are only temporary. After all, there are a few deserters who cause trouble and are soon suppressed by the imperial army.

At this time, Jiankang City had no emperor in charge, and Liu Yu had no past. Chai Jin alone could not play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, so Huo Bing dared to act arbitrarily. Liu Yu had to ask Su Yan for an order and personally took Xu Xuanzhu to Jiankang City to organize the post-disaster reconstruction of Jiankang City.

The first thing Liu Yu did when he arrived in Jiankang City was to punish Huo Bing, tied him to a wooden pillar at the entrance of the Huai Palace to "show public". Huo Bing was of course unhappy. He could hear his screams from morning to night.

Chai Jin was a little embarrassed when he heard Huo Bing's fusion, and persuaded Liu Yu several times, wanting to let Huo Bing come down earlier. Liu Yu said: "No matter how you ignore it, maybe you can poke a hole in the sky next time. Gourd, this kid is not worthy of your sympathy."

Huo Bing started to curse afterwards, calling Liu Yu ungrateful. He just helped the court to capture Jiankang City and received unfair treatment before he was rewarded. When he was tired of scolding, he fell asleep when he woke up the next day and continued to curse.

Jiankang City had just experienced a fire, and there were many ordinary people who were burned to death. Even those who escaped safely were choked by smoke. Since Jiankang was pacified, post-disaster reconstruction must be carried out as soon as possible. However, the court had no money, and most of the warehouses of Huai King were empty and could not afford the money at all.

When Liu Yu was worried about the post-disaster reconstruction of Jiankang City, the helmsmen of most county and county towns in the Nanhuai area began to show goodwill to the court and expressed their willingness to accept the appointment of the court again. After the imperial army broke through Jiankang City, the imperial army was ready to go. Now that the King of Huai is dead, no one organized them to fight further with the imperial army. Even if someone came out to take charge of the overall situation, they knew that the unstoppable power of the imperial army was unstoppable, and they followed the destiny, and instead became the first choice faced by the masters of these cities.

Liu Yu also returned to Yangzhou several times for this and brought the envoys from these county towns and county towns to meet the king. However, Su Yan was not concerned about these irrelevant county magistrates and county magistrates.

"Where is King Ding?"

Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of a well rope for ten years. Su Yan was afraid of another vassal king. He was asked to suffer the same pain as Xuzhou City, or he might simply take the world away, making him die as if he were the King of Huai.

Liu Yu said: "Someone in the Dingwang army wanted to rob the king and surrender to the court, but was discovered by Dingwang and beheaded these generals. Dingwang thought these were all instructed by the court, and had lost trust in the court, so he led the Dingwang army to flee southeast."

"Southeast?" Su Yan thought for a moment. He didn't know how far the "Southeast" was from Yangzhou. "Why don't you take the army to wipe out King Ding, King Ding shouldn't have many troops, right?"

Liu Yu didn't expect Su Yan to be so eager to eliminate future troubles. In fact, King Ding could no longer form a climate at this time. What we should be more concerned about now is the attitude of King Shu and other powerful vassal lords. They used to regard King Huai as the main lord of the world, but are still in opposition to the court. This stalemate relationship needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a war.

As for King Ding and King Ding, they are now homeless and will never have a place to stay wherever they go.

Liu Yu said these joints. Su Yan thought about it and said, "Are you tired of fighting this war? I am also a little tired. Why don't we go back to Chang'an City? We miss you a little homesick."

Although Su Yan didn't say anything afterwards, Liu Yu, who came out of the palace, was still a little unfair.

After meeting Su Yan this time, I always felt that this emperor was different from before. Now, when I think about it, Su Yan is more independent, although he will ask for his opinions in everything. However, the more he speaks than when he hears others say, the way he expresses his own opinions is more radical. Liu Yu didn't know if this is an improvement or has other meanings.

What Liu Yu is most afraid of is that he is dead rabbits and cooks dogs. No matter how Su Yan tames now, he is the lord of the world after all, and like a young eagle, he will always spread his wings and soar.

Yangzhou City is a bit lively now.

The soldiers who retreated from Jiankang City have shed their fatigue from the journey and the hardship of the war, and finally can rest for a few days in peace. They are also waiting for the imperial court to offer rewards.

Rewarding the three armies is not only gold, silver and wealth, but also land and official positions, military positions are also promoted, military positions are promoted, military wars, and hard-working military battles are also looking forward to the rewards on the day of victory.

But Liu Yu knew that the court could not provide money for rewards now. He originally hoped to plunder a batch of gold, silver and military pay from the Huai Palace, but now he found that the Huai Palace was empty. Is it because the war was heavy to cause the emptiness of Huai territory or because it was transported away privately? These took time to investigate, but what he now knew was that even the military pay could not be paid on time, let alone rewarding the three armies?

A group of people came from Chang'an City. This group of people did not come to meet the battle. Their purpose was to transport military supplies, food, gold, silver and wealth from Chang'an City to relieve the current embarrassment of the imperial court's southern expedition. The leader of this group was Han Sheng, who had not seen for a long time.

My old friends were very happy to meet.

This day was the 26th day of the first lunar month, the eleventh day of pacifying the Huai land. Liu Yu calculated the days and rushed from Chang'an City without stopping. Even if he couldn't sleep, it would take more than eight days. In addition, it would take one or two days to spread the news of pacifying the Huai land. Han Sheng came here this time and rushed back.

"I learned that Jiankang City was broken, I knew that Brother Liu, you were worried about military pay and rewards. Fortunately, the Miss Sui family handled the matter and quickly donated a batch of wealth from the merchants of Chang'an City Trade Department. They came here on a night and could solve the urgent problem." Han Sheng and Liu Yu said goodbye and immediately turned to the topic.

Liu Yu looked at the list of goods transported this time. Although it was not too many, it was already the limit that merchants in Chang'an City could pay donations. The imperial army did not have many troops to come to Jiangnan this time, but there were 60,000 or 70,000. After calculation, one person could get almost four or five taels of silver. In addition, the land and military positions that could be promised first, the rewards of the three armies could barely be able to cope with this time.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Han, let's go and face you." Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Let's go to see the emperor for now." Han Sheng said, "I can't hold on any longer. Can I let me meet those two good granddaughters first?"

"Yier and Ting'er live in a villa, and there are female military guards taking care of them. Brother Han, you..."

Liu Yu was a little unsightly to see Han Sheng’s intention of this trip. Since it was to transport military supplies, he should go to see the sage as soon as possible. After all, he is the Shaoqing, the Manager of the Commerce Department and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He is not very lawful when he comes to Yangzhou.

"Anyway, Brother Liu, you will fulfill my wish."

It is rare for Han Sheng to come all the way, and it is okay to meet his granddaughter when he gets old. So Liu Yu accompanied Han Sheng to meet the Han sisters, because the Han sisters were all built with Xu Xuan these days, and Cai Yingnu and Lu Chu'er and other guards took care of them. They didn't feel lonely. More importantly, as long as Liu Yu was fine, he would come to accompany them.

Having seen two granddaughters, Han Sheng's eyes were red and walked out. When Liu Yu asked about the purpose of this meeting, Han Sheng sighed: "I have been in the court all my life, just for the day of stability in the world. Now this wish has been fulfilled by you boy, and it will be the day when I retire. I am now going to ask the emperor for an imperial edict, allowing me to resign and return to my hometown, and never ask about political affairs."

Liu Yu had unexpectedly expected Han Sheng to return home after he was appointed as an official. This time, the court could quell the rebellion of the King of Huai in just three months. Han Sheng, who was responsible for the coordination of the rear, made great contributions. Han Sheng's courage to retreat suddenly made him feel as if he was missing his right-hand man around him.

"Brother Han said this, I have nothing to say, boy. It will be difficult to meet in the future."

Han Sheng is not from Guanzhong, but from Shandong. If Han Sheng returns to his hometown, it will be difficult for Liu Yu to discuss matters with this old friend again.

Gathering and separation are always sometimes.

When it was time to pay military salaries and reward the three armies, Yangzhou City suddenly became lively.

This time, in addition to the wealth worth more than 200,000 taels of money transported from Chang'an City, there were also a small amount of gold and silver transported from the Jingwangdi and Dingwangdi warehouses, with a total of more than 400,000 taels.

The rewards of the three armies are carried out in three parts. The first part is to repay military pay, which will complete the previous debts of the imperial court to the soldiers. With these silver, ordinary soldiers can also return to their hometown to buy two or three acres of mature land, so that they can get married and have children without any worries.

The second part is the additional reward for the wealth and land of the meritorious soldiers. This part will vary greatly from high to low depending on military merit. The higher ones can be promoted to generals, receive more than 100 taels of silver, and receive rewards for wealth and land; the lower ones may only have a subsidy of more than one tael, which is also the subsidy standard for most soldiers.

As for the fields, it is also the focus of the imperial rewards. More than half of the imperial soldiers who went to war with the army this time came from Guanzhong. Guanzhong had just suffered a severe drought, so there was still no shortage of land. In addition, the privileges of reclaiming barren mountains and other privileges, these soldiers actually obtained a large number of forests and land ownership. As long as the court awarded them, a whole forest could be classified as a member of a meritorious soldier. In the future, no matter how this barren mountain develops, it will be completely free to control how many acres of land it has been reclaimed. Even if some places are not suitable for reclaiming, the wood of the forest is a considerable wealth.

This kind of permission is often obtained only by those who have made military contributions.

The third part is also the most anticipated part of the soldiers in the army. It is the promotion and transfer of military positions.

Even if they were defeated this time, the imperial army from all over the country would basically make up for the defeat in the subsequent battles of the south. The merits and demerits were offset, and what was the merits and demerits? For ordinary soldiers who followed the crowd, the rewards of wealth had already burned high incense. For those soldiers who fought to kill the enemy and were more looking forward to the improvement of military positions. The wealth was only the surface, and only by the improvement of military positions could you get a golden rice bowl.

But as for the golden rice bowl, silver rice bowl, or iron rice bowl, it is sometimes difficult to define. For those who make a little contribution, they are still greedy to get more. For those who make great contributions, they are afraid that their contributions will be plundered by others. They are also afraid that the court will not admit their claim afterwards.
