After a night's rest in Xiangyang, Song Yang felt exhausted and went out for a walk early in the morning.
I didn't find anyone to accompany me, so I took Song Chengwang, Gongsun Qi, Niu Laosan and Wei Nan with me.
Fang Zhe was fed too much by local officials at last night's reception banquet.
Song Yang was a prince, not of the same rank, and it was not easy for officials to persuade him to drink.
Fang Zhe became the main target of attack.
I'm still drunk after sleeping all night.
This was the first time I drank heavily after the natural disaster.
Although Jiangzhou does not ban alcohol, it is not allowed to make wine and the remaining wine reserves are extremely low.
Isn’t it good to eat that food?
Use it to make wine?
Only powerful people like Shannan Dao can do this.
However, Song Yang doesn't have time to manage these things now. Shannan Road only needs to be stabilized temporarily, and he will take care of these guys when Tanzhou is finished and the south is stabilized.
Niu Laosanhe has been in Xiangyang for three days.
I also walked around the city for a while.
It's just right to let him lead the way.
"Although this city is dilapidated, the location of Xiangyang is indeed superior to that of Fangzhou."
"From now on, the capital of Fangzhou will be located in Xiangyang."
Walking on the depressed streets and looking at the poor people, Song Yang felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The condition of the people in Xiangyang is much the same as that in the days after the natural disaster in Jiangzhou.
Even after a year's autumn harvest, the people still didn't have much food left.
Even if the government releases porridge every day, people in the city will basically go to get it.
"Wei Nan. From now on, Fangzhou will be left to you, so that the people can live a better life." Song Yang turned back to Wei Nan and said.
Wei Nan said with a pained expression on his face: "Your Majesty, this... what are you doing! Besides... didn't you ask me to guard Fangzhou and form a revival army? Why should I be in charge of civil affairs?"
"Hey! Those who are capable should work hard! You have been following Fang Zhizhi for so long, don't you handle political and civil affairs very well?"
Song Yang patted Wei Nan on the shoulder and encouraged: "What's wrong with the defense? Can't the defense be in charge of civil affairs? Look at Bai Wenju, isn't he in charge of the civil affairs of Yingzhou?"
Wei Nan scratched his head, looking embarrassed...
"Don't worry. You're not going to fight alone. Isn't there Qiao Jinglong as well? He is the main force. By the way, when the third child goes back, he tells Chen Lin that he will send ten civil servants to help!" Song Yang looked at
Niu Laosan.
"Yes. Remember your humble position, ten civil servants will come to help!" Niu Laosan repeated with cupped fists.
"Then...that's fine. I'll do my best in my humble position and assist Mr. Qiao."
Song Yang said so, so Wei Nan could only agree.
"You and Qiao Jinglong said that the situation in Fangzhou is still different from that in Jiangzhou. Although there is no immediate obstacle, the aristocratic family has also recovered in the past six months."
"So the management here should not be limited to the situation in Jiangzhou, but should learn to adapt to local conditions."
While Song Yang was walking on the road, he told General Wei Nan some things about the management of Fangzhou.
Qiao Jinglong also drank a lot yesterday and is as drunk as Fang Zhe now.
I will temporarily warn Wei Nan about things that come to my mind.
"First, measure the unclaimed land as soon as possible and divide as much as you can before spring plowing."
"Second, immediately establish a local Renaissance Army system, giving priority to ordinary people, refugees and other weak groups."
"Set up the team as soon as possible. Don't withdraw from the third party until then. Help this team to stabilize before leaving."
"After the Fengzhou soldiers return, I will ask Yingzhou to help you. Bai Wenju and the thousand men will stay for a while longer, and then let them go back when you have the overall situation under control."
"Third, for those clans... don't touch them for the time being. Just be conciliatory. The only purpose is not to let them continue to grow bigger."
"Fourth, the Luo Xin Bandit Group in the north should not have contact with them for the time being, and just do a good job of defense."
"The information that the spies found before is that Luo Xin should be sending troops towards Liangzhou. They don't have time to go south, and we don't have the extra energy to take care of him now."
"Let him dance for a while first, and we'll take care of them when we have our hands free."
All the way back to the station, Song Yang thought of four main policies.
Fangzhou will develop according to these four points in the future.
…
"My lord, have you gone for a walk in the city?"
When Song Yang and others came back, Fang Zhe came out with his head covered.
Look, it's already time.
It can be seen that he really drank too much.
"How are you, Lao Fang? Do you want to have a drink today?" Song Yang smiled and patted Fang Zhe on the shoulder.
"Goodbye. I don't want to drink a sip anymore! It's too uncomfortable! I was vomiting for a while just now!" Fang Zhe waved his hands hurriedly.
After everyone had something to eat, Fang Zhe held his tired body and reported to Song Yang about the people's livelihood war in Jingzhou and Xiazhou.
Mainly talking about people's livelihood and war, as Niu Laosan has just said.
"Okay, you go and have a rest. Get up in the afternoon." Song Yang waved his hand, and Fang Zhe almost fell asleep while waiting.
"Third brother. Go and invite King Fangzhou to come over."
After Fang Zhe left, Song Yang gave instructions to Niu Laosan.
"Song Han always thinks very highly of himself. If he is disrespectful in any way, I will beat him with hate." Seventh Uncle Song Tong said with a smile.
"He took the initiative to see me, so he must have been defeated." Song Yang also smiled.
As a prisoner, Song Han soon followed Niu Laosan.
Although he was defeated and captured, he was not imprisoned, but was placed under house arrest in a small courtyard.
"How are you, Uncle Wang of Fangzhou!"
As soon as Song Han came in, Song Yang smiled.
"Are you...Song Yang?"
"Ah? Lao Qi?"
The King of Fangzhou had never seen Song Yang before. He looked at Song Yang and saw that he was so young.
He looked at Seventh Uncle Song Tong again and immediately threw it out, but he had a confused look on his face.
"You do know me. This is my nephew Ayang." Song Tong smiled and pointed at Song Yang.
"Sit down, sit down. Let's sit down and chat." Song Yang pointed to the chair over there.
King Fangzhou nodded and sat down.
"So Jiangzhou is your responsibility." Song Han looked at his seventh uncle Song Tong and said as soon as he sat down.
He thought Song Yang was just a puppet, after all, he looked too young.
"Humph! You still don't understand the form!" Song Tong said coldly.
"My king's Tanzhou has been occupied by bandits. If it weren't for A Yang's help, I don't know where I would be dead now."
"Are you really in charge of Jiangzhou? Are you in charge of several state capitals?" King Fangzhou ignored Song Tong, but looked at Song Yang and asked.
Song Yang nodded slightly and said: "It's a bit lucky and the people support it."
"You are really young and promising! I am convinced!" Song Han nodded heavily.
"Don't you always think highly of yourself? Why did you give in so quickly this time?" Song Tong said with a smile.
"Hmph! I can't beat you again and again! I can't even compare with governing the people! Don't you accept this?"
The King of Fangzhou was quite a bachelor, and he kept saying whatever he wanted.
"Uncle Wang. In fact, the path you took was wrong from the beginning." Song Yang suddenly said to the King of Fangzhou.
"Oh? What's wrong?" King Fangzhou asked doubtfully.
"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it."
"The sky and the earth are overturned, and the water is no longer there, so how can we sail!"
"Uncle Wang, restoring people's livelihood is the most important thing. If Fangzhou has the strength it had before the natural disaster, who else in the four quarters will be dissatisfied?"
Song Han, the king of Fangzhou, was stunned for a moment before saying, "I am indeed not as good as you."
"Now that I have completely failed, Fang, Xiang, and Suizhou are all in your hands. I will cooperate with you in whatever way you want to govern them."
The King of Fangzhou is clear about everything, but he is not as good as Song Yang, so why not cooperate with him to show that he might still be able to live a better life.
"Uncle Wang, you are not cooperating with me, you are cooperating with yourself. Fangzhou is still yours, Xiangzhou, Suizhou has no need to exist without the royal family, and will be merged into Fangzhou in the future."
Song Yang's words made Song Han stunned. What did this mean? Did Fangzhou still let him control it?
Song Yang smiled and said: "This Fangzhou is a great place, and so is Jiangzhou. The whole world is!"
"There must be a capable person guarding Fangzhou. I think this candidate...Uncle Wang is a good one."
Song Han looked at Song Yang with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't expect Song Yang to trust him so much.
Not only did he plan to let him continue to be the king of Fangzhou, but he also wanted to give him Xiangzhou and Suizhou together.
"Ah Yang! Alas! I'm convinced! Uncle Wang, I'm really convinced!" Song Han sighed heavily.
"However, I can't take care of things anymore. If I take charge of Fangzhou's affairs, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself!" King Fangzhou shook his head and said.
Song Yang looked at Fangzhou King and said, "Uncle Wang, it's okay to do nothing, but I still need your help."
"I plan to appoint a general judge and a garrison here in Fangzhou, and a state of emergency will be implemented for some time to come."
"Uncle Wang also knows that in the state of emergency, many supplies must be managed uniformly."
"Those aristocratic families will definitely come out to oppose it."
"Uncle Wang is on Shannan East Road, so he should be familiar with them."
"I hope Uncle Wang can help persuade me. In times of crisis, the whole country should work together to tide over the difficulties."
This is Song Yang's main purpose. In addition to his connections, King Fangzhou also has a certain prestige here.
To implement a state of emergency will definitely offend aristocratic families.
It would be best to let King Fangzhou stand in front to resist the thunder.
King Fangzhou frowned, and he understood what Song Yang meant.
But then his brows relaxed.
As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger.
The man who was already defeated and captured now has a new way out.
It's just a matter of carrying thunder and scolding, but it can be exchanged for freedom in the future, and you can even get a lot of benefits.
The risk is worth taking.
Moreover, with Fangzhou's garrison troops and some close confidants, his personal safety is guaranteed.
"Okay! I listen to you! Ah Yang, just tell me what to do!" Song Han thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
…
the next day.
King Fangzhou returned to the throne and attended the formal meeting of all officials with Song Yang and Song Tong.
Moreover, the King of Fangzhou announced the start of the restructuring of Fangzhou.
Of course, the executor is the newly appointed Fangzhou general magistrate Qiao Jinglong.
Song Yang, the old man from the prefecture, did not move and asked him to take care of himself at home. He met the old man yesterday, but he had to be supported by two people when he walked...
Lord Tongzhi, the second most powerful person in the state capital, is the brother-in-law of Fangzhou King. King Fangzhou told him to fully cooperate with Qiao Jinglong.
In this way, Qiao Jinglong's reform work can be implemented more easily.
King Fangzhou continued to announce:
"From now on, Fangzhou has entered a state of emergency for six months. Under the state of emergency, all social supplies will be uniformly allocated by the official."
At this time, some officials began to object reluctantly.
There was endless discussion.
"I will ask the new Fangzhou garrison generals Nanwei, Fengzhou Niu, and Yingzhou Bai to assist Uncle Wang of Fangzhou."
Song Yang said while suppressing everyone's discussion.
As soon as these words came out, the wallflowers did not dare to say anything more.
Moreover, this state of emergency is only implemented in Fangzhou, Xiangzhou, and Suizhou.
Other places with wall coverings are still the old system.
They were just worried about being affected before, but no one dared to openly challenge this kind of situation.
