Half a month later, in the early morning of this day, Wang Jian bid farewell to the 30,000-strong army heading to Chang'an at the gate of Jiangdu City.
After the three girls Shen Luoyan, Shan Wanjing and Dugu Feng broke through to the Grandmaster realm, they consolidated their status for another half a month, and then they couldn't wait to leave for Chang'an.
The Li Clan's offensive is getting stronger and stronger, and Qu Tutong is struggling in Tongguan. Once Tongguan is broken, the situation in Chang'an will be very dangerous.
Shen Luoyan was originally the military advisor that Wang Jian had high hopes for. Under such urgent circumstances, it was naturally impossible for her to enjoy a comfortable life like other women.
What's more, she herself doesn't want her life to be like that of the women in the harem. If Wang Jian hadn't forced them to give them time to stabilize their cultivation, they would have set out ten days ago.
After bidding farewell to her three daughters, Wang Jian's life remains peaceful.
Occasionally hold a court meeting, or call the staff members in the Liangyi Palace, give them a meal to improve their cultivation and physical fitness, and inquire about their progress.
Nowadays, the members of the staff have also grown rapidly. Although their official positions are not particularly high, they are still valued by hundreds of officials, and they already have considerable influence in the court.
Jiangdu, Yangzhou, Wuxing, Yuhang and other places have been stabilized, and things such as farming and work-for-relief are also rapidly improving.
The same is true in the south, but the progress is not as fast as in Jiangnan, so it will take time.
Jiangnan has been completely stabilized, and the people's lives may not be that good, but with work-for-relief measures, a large number of refugees have stabilized.
Although life is still hard, at least there is hope.
Moreover, with the rapid development of Wei Zheng's Yushitai and the improvement of the prosecutorial system, coupled with Wang Jian's promotion of the status of Shang Lao's Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and other departments, some of the bad tactics of his subordinates that seriously damaged the foundation of his rule were suppressed.
As long as they can get money or food, the people will feel at ease and concentrate on working for relief.
This can not only reduce the number of refugees and reduce the scope of rebellion, but also significantly improve infrastructure.
At the same time, some fertile fields were arranged for planting, and even those who used work-for-relief programs were prevented from opening new fields.
There are many mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and terraces have long existed, but not many.
After all, in this era of vast land and sparsely populated areas, it would be too troublesome to reclaim wasteland, especially in the mountains and forests, as no one would do it.
The imperial court organized manpower and distributed the opened fields to the people, which immediately led to a greater enthusiasm for construction.
As long as there is a relatively reliable system and strong enough supervision, any large-scale construction will bring considerable results.
Just opening up wasteland is enough for many refugees to come and join in.
Wang Jian also asked people to hand over some methods and plans for raising or planting livestock, poultry, fish, fruits, cash crops, etc. to Du Ruhui and others, allowing them to find their own methods suitable for this era.
Ancient grain is the foundation. With this thing, everything is simple.
If salt, oil, cloth, etc. are perfected, life will be completely stable.
In this era, there are not so many things to pay attention to. Food and clothing are everything, followed by dignity, and finally spiritual life.
Since Wang Jian came to this world, of course he must consider the people of the world.
We need to solve the problem of food and clothing first, and then slowly improve the laws and regulations and get the system in place.
There is actually no need for him to take the initiative to do other things. As long as he promotes it, people will naturally complete it on their own.
Now in Jiangnan, except for Li Zitong, who is still being attacked by Sima Dekan, other places are becoming stable.
Coupled with the development of some handicraft-type light industries and the influx of a large number of refugees, Jiangnan gradually became prosperous.
He is familiar with the routine of farming and development. What he needs is time. Now that he has it, there is no need to worry so much. He can just take his time and practice and live comfortably.
A month after Shen Luoyan left, he arrived in Chang'an and quickly took over all military and government affairs in Chang'an.
Some people wanted to resist, but Shen Luoyan killed them all.
In an era of war and chaos, reasoning is not enough. The most useful thing is the butcher's knife in your hand.
Yang You, the acting supervisor of the country, was also expelled from the Chang'an Palace. Because Wang Jian left, some people were panic-stricken, and the palace and the harem were stabilized again because of the arrival of the three women.
But many people are very curious as to why the three women make Wang Jian trust them so much.
It took Shen Luoyan several days to organize the palace, city defense, military affairs, and government affairs in Chang'an. Tongguan, where Qu Tutong and Song Laosheng were stationed, was captured by the Li clan.
Fortunately, the two generals had received Wang Jian's order early. Seeing that they were invincible, they fought bravely with the remaining troops and finally escaped from the encirclement.
Tongguan was lost, and there was no more dangerous ground around Chang'an to defend. The Li clan's road to attack Chang'an was smooth and smooth.
Shen Luoyan's pressure immediately increased, but she did not panic.
Isn't she here just to resist the Li clan and prevent the fall of Chang'an?
Now that Li Jing is here in Luoyang, he can also attack the Li clan. However, he is restrained by Wagang Village and cannot send many troops.
But it is impossible for the Li clan to go out in force, at least they have to be prepared for Li Jing's reinforcements.
Xu Xingzhi also accelerated his pace in Jingling, leading his soldiers and horses to attack Wagang Village. At the same time, he had to find the headquarters of the cannibal demon Zhu Can, otherwise leaving these soldiers and horses to roam around would cause too much damage to society. .
The entire Guanzhong is in chaos, with several forces entangled.
Of course, the most aggrieved person is Wang Jian's Sui Ting.
Several troops from the north were still attacking and killing. If Yang Yichen, Xue Shixiong and others had not fought desperately to resist, they might have been completely defeated long ago.
There is nothing we can do now. Wagang Village and the Li Clan are all standing there, and Sui Ting cannot reach him if he wants to support him.
News of the fall of Tongguan reached Jiangdu. Wang Jian summoned Zhang Xutuo and Song Zhi from the Song Dynasty, and dispatched 5,000 Tiangang troops and 15,000 Song Dynasty troops. Li Hu'er was the leader, and Song Zhi was the military advisor, and went to Donghai County.
Accompanying him was the eunuch who announced the imperial edict. Sima Degan had been fighting for so long to no avail, so he simply wrote the imperial edict to the end.
This is a punishment for him, and it is also a way to eliminate his enemies.
Sima Dekan rebelled with Yu Wenhuaji. After Yu Wenhuaji was defeated, Sima Dekan fought for a while to attack Li Zitong on his behalf to prevent Li Zitong from going around and destroying social stability.
Now that the Song clan's troops have arrived, it's time for Sima Dekan to get out.
After all the birds are gone, Liang Gongzang is still good. He didn't kill anyone. Of course, it was to prevent other Sui generals from hurting others.
Although the situation in the world is very chaotic, there is not no good news.
As early as after Shen Luoyan defeated Lin Shihong, he asked Lai Hu'er to lead ten thousand Wu Xing troops to sweep across the south, sweeping away any bandits, bandits, and even evil landlords and aristocratic families.
The South has just experienced a war, and social order has not been restored so quickly. It is time to clean up these things.
Laihuer has done a good job. The South has been sorted out by half, the social atmosphere has become clearer, the people have gradually stabilized, and the number of refugees has rapidly decreased.
Even some Jianghu sects and gangs have restrained themselves a lot.
This was of great help to the court personnel in establishing order. Wang Jian looked forward to the day when the entire south would become a granary and society would be stable.
