However, relying on Yuchi Zhen, the Yuchi family can only consolidate their position. Li Xingchen is not a fatuous master, and women's sex cannot make him lose his mind. He can even make the women around him fall in love with him.
Perhaps the best way for the Yuchi family to survive and continue is to really cut off contact with Yuchi Jiong.
Yuchishun sighed softly.
This is really a cruel decision, but in order to survive, the big family can sacrifice everything, and the Yuchi family must do the same.
I hope my mother will not question the decision I made today.
Li Xingchen is very laid-back.
Because the battle suddenly became stalemate, Li Xingchen was fine.
The artillery bombarded the infantry charge, and then used artillery bombardment after the infantry was driven back.
Facing the tall and solid city wall, this seems to be the only way.
Such a monotonous cycle did not even require Li Xinchen to command on the battlefield, but Li Xinchen still set up his camp directly on the south city wall. He was reviewing memorials in a city gate tower while listening to the sound of cannons and killings outside.
Indeed, as he had guessed at the beginning, Yuchi Jiong took the initiative to retreat from the outer city into the inner city. After entering the inner city, the defense of the Northern Zhou army suddenly became stronger, and with the smaller area of the inner city, the mobilization of the Northern Zhou army was even more difficult.
Being flexible, the Han army rushed to the top of the city several times, only to be repelled by the Zhou reserves who appeared out of nowhere. Otherwise, the city would have been breached countless times.
Li Xingchen flipped through the memorial. In fact, there were no major events these days. With the confluence of several main forces of the Han army, the pressure on taxes and material supply in various parts of the Han Dynasty naturally eased, because the soldiers and horses from all walks of life can complement each other.
, which naturally makes some places that originally had gaps that needed to be filled no longer so urgent.
In addition, the smooth autumn harvest also gave the big man the confidence to drag this battle all the way into winter.
Even the Ministry of Industry has begun to develop new materials that can keep warm in accordance with Li Xingchen's requirements. Although it is not as good as plastic, it can at least be used to test some vegetables and grains in the warmer southern winter. During the Ice Age, the weather in the south
Although it is also very cold, it is at least better than in the north.
If vegetables and grains that can be eaten by humans can be produced in batches in winter, it will naturally reduce the pressure on the army's food consumption to a great extent. In addition, farmers will not be idle and wasting labor during slack times.
During the slack period, the Han conquerors seized the opportunity to actively improve infrastructure, including road repairs and city reinforcements. Many bridges and water conservancy projects were also built during this time. In infrastructure construction
Li Xingchen, who had the Han Ministry of Industry as logistical support, had sufficient confidence and enthusiasm. Of course, local officials did not mind using these methods to achieve a wave of political achievements for themselves.
There's nothing you can do about it. Whether you have a good harvest or not depends on God's grace, but repairing roads is something you can control.
With the improvement of many infrastructures, Dahan now actually does not need too many farmers temporarily transferred to work. The Ministry of Industry has even established an engineering team dedicated to working all year round, which is more organized and experienced.
To replace a large number of farmers with limited time and inexperience.
Therefore, if the Han Dynasty can develop the technology to grow vegetables and grains in winter, it will naturally solve the problem of farmers having nothing to do in their spare time.
When the people are free, trouble will occur. This is the consensus of the government.
Things will go wrong when people are idle. This is the consensus of the diligent Chinese people.
The reason why there is a break in farming is not because people don’t want to farm, but because the weather doesn’t allow it.
If this problem can be solved, there will naturally be no slack in farming.
There is also a new round of academy enrollment that has begun in an orderly manner. Many northern scholars have gone south one after another, which has made the court aware of the lack of academy education in the north. Now Jinling Academy, Chengdu Academy and Yuelu Academy, the three major academies in the south of the Han Dynasty, are taking the lead.
, Lingnan, Nanzhong, Ganzhou and other local academies are cooperating to form key teachers and outstanding students to go north to support the construction of academies in the newly recovered territories of Dahan.
For all the teachers and students in the academy, this is not only justice, but also related to their vital interests. The academy is a new education system that is completely separated from the aristocratic families and the nine-grade Zhongzheng system represented by the aristocratic families. It can be said that
All the students who graduated from the academy are already on the opposite side of the aristocratic families. Although the education system in the north is still under the control of the aristocratic families, this control has become very weak. Even with the advancement of the Han army, it is no longer possible.
The family that was once the dominant one has fallen apart, so it is a good opportunity for the academy to seize the opportunity to move north and seize talents.
Of course Li Xingchen welcomed this kind of spontaneous action by the academy.
This is actually a battle in the field of education. Even wealthy families have to recognize the benefits brought by the imperial examination system, so Li Xingchen is also bound to win this battle.
What pleased Li Xingchen the most about these news was not the content of the news, but the news itself. This shows that the lives of the Han people today have not been completely disrupted by the war in the north, and have even become orderly. Even in the north
The impact of the war on them is minimal.
The development of science and technology and trade has kept the living standards of all parts of the Han Dynasty as consistent as possible. The material pressure faced by the state capitals in the front will naturally be relieved by the materials transported from the rear, and the state capitals in the rear will not be overwhelmed by supplies.
This led to an overdeveloped economy, which ultimately led to price instability and economic imbalance throughout the Han Dynasty.
With the Ministry of Commerce in the middle, at least there will be no price fluctuations in a short period of time. After all, prices are also related to the people's hearts and minds. The confidence of the Han Dynasty in the Northern Expedition came from the strong support of the government and the public, whether it was the civil and military officials of the imperial court or countless people.
As long as the people have opinions, the Northern Expedition will naturally be affected. The Northern Zhou Dynasty opposite is a perfect example.
Li Xingchen was very pleased that the efforts he had made over the years had at least prevented the Han Dynasty from being too affected by such a national war. When the front line was in a stalemate, the rear could still develop smoothly. This also made Li Xingchen feel proud.
The heroes who had reached the rolling river one by one felt sorry.
Be it Liu Yu, Huan Wen, Chen Qingzhi, or Zu Ti, all the heroes were swept away by the waves. Their great achievements were full of flaws due to untimely support from the rear and even internal strife, and they could not even be said to be a complete victory.
And now Li Xingchen believes that he will win this time.
Relying not only on the rumbling sound of artillery outside, but also on the stability at the rear.
If the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake.
