Chapter 1371 Return
Rebellion is not an easy thing, of course that is for others.

For Wang Yan, practice makes perfect.

He had rich experience in rebellion in various ways and was well prepared to deal with various emergencies. He also made sure that he could keep his life and make a comeback after the rebellion failed.

While he was cleaning up Luoyang and Daxing, he issued decrees to all directions. After some military riots broke out in various places, he took control of the armies in Bingzhou, the grassland, and the northeast, and also took over three navies. In the southern region, he also took control of the troops of several counties and combined them into one place.

It was also when he was gathering the military power that Guanlong, the south, including Shu, received the news from the fugitives in Daxing and Luoyang.

After the initial panic, the wealthy families in Guanlong and the south tacitly united and started a rebellion.

Because they also had a part in suppressing Wang Yan and dividing up his power. And they knew Wang Yan quite well, and they knew very well that Wang Yan was an iron-blooded hardliner.

Wang Yan's attitude towards the big families has always been undisguised disgust. He has bullied too many big families over the years. Even after destroying the big families in the Central Plains, Wang Yan's attitude towards them was not good.

The man who was surrounded and attacked by hundreds of soldiers did not retreat even a single step. How could he be afraid of these big guys?
What's more, they took the initiative to suppress Wang Yan and came to his house to cause trouble. So there is no doubt that Wang Yan would definitely kill them. Even if he didn't kill them, he would make them do hard labor and work until they died of exhaustion.

So they did not hesitate and rebelled directly, or in other words, they raised the banner to protect the emperor and the king.

They didn't expect that the situation would change so quickly. Wang Yan actually rebelled and successfully controlled Luoyang, Daxing, and the garrisons.

This is too terrifying. After all, they have suppressed Wang Yan for a long time. How can they have such a powerful force? Suddenly, they attack and succeed directly...

As for Shu, the situation there is relatively simple, mainly because Wang Yan does not have much contact with there. There is certainly business, but his influence there is still not enough.

In addition, considering his attitude towards the wealthy, and the fact that he was in power through rebellion, it was understandable that the wealthy in Shu would respond to the pressure and protect themselves. Moreover, because of the geographical advantages of Shu, it could indeed resist for a while by guarding the various passes.

However, they were not aggressive and did not send troops to support the king, but instead tried to split the land and establish their own country. But on the other hand, how could this not be aggressive?

However, Wang Yan did not indulge them. He had anticipated this situation before he came to power, so after he gave the order, he had already mobilized the army.

The troops from Bingzhou and the grasslands went directly to Guanlong, where they eliminated the major families according to the list. The troops from the northeast and the navy crossed the Yellow River and went to the Yangtze River to suppress the troops of the big families in the south. Shu would not move for the time being. After dealing with these two groups, it would not be too late to deal with them.

The rebels were certainly no match for Wang Yan. After all, there were still 100,000 troops stationed in Luoyang. He could also mobilize soldiers from the government, and he also had farms nearby, so he had a lot of available troops.

In particular, his reputation in Luoyang and Daxing is quite high, and the people are quite supportive of his actions, so he has a very good mass base.

This is a very important reason. If the people support him and do not riot, then he only needs tens of thousands of people to control the situation in Luoyang and Daxing and suppress the disloyalty of various civil and military officials in the city.

As a result, a large number of troops were mobilized to deal with the rebels and ensure the overall stability.

After more than a year, the rebels were defeated and the wealthy families in various places were cleared out. It took another half a year to enter Shu and clear out all the wealthy families and officials there.

The subsequent purge lasted for another two years, which finally stabilized the rule.

Of course, during this period, he also made a lot of policy adjustments, such as redefining various taxes, abolishing the head tax and other miscellaneous taxes, nationalizing all the land in the country, and implementing policies that benefit the people, such as a tax of one tenth of the acre of land.

At the same time, he also promoted a large number of poor children, as well as various people he had trained over the years, and various experienced clerks, who were not restricted to a single type and were barely qualified to be officials. He also stipulated a policy for the resettlement of retired soldiers, giving some officers the opportunity to govern.

The main reason was that when the rebellion was suppressed, most of the wealthy families were killed, and a large number of officials were implicated. There were no suitable people to serve as officials, and the gap in officials was too large.

This is a necessary measure, as someone has to be in charge of administration.

At the same time, Wang Yan continued to promote schools and popularize education throughout the country, and further improve the imperial examination system. This was something Wang Yan had wanted to promote for a long time, but he had always encountered many obstacles. After destroying the wealthy families in the Central Plains, Yang Guang was very confident and did not pay much attention to it. So Wang Yan had always been paying for the construction himself.

Now that he is in power, various things can finally be implemented.

Although there are not enough people who can read and write, and even fewer who can be called educated, there are still some, so it is good to start. After all, education is a long-term plan, and without enough time, there will be no results.

In addition, there are medical clinics, which are also opened in the division. Before this, Wang Yan had already opened many clinics and trained a large number of doctors, letting them disperse to various places to see patients and teach some apprentices at the same time. After five, seven or eight years, some suitable people can be trained. They are not required to be proficient, but just to treat basic diseases, which can solve many problems.

The most important thing, of course, is the midwifery team. After another war, the population has been reduced by millions, and the damage has been widespread. If we want to increase the population and restore vitality, we still need to put more thought into this aspect.

In addition, in order to restore production, he started large-scale infrastructure construction. At the same time, he issued paper money and carried out economic regulation.

He has long since iterated on papermaking and printing technologies, and can now produce resilient, highly anti-counterfeiting banknotes.

The conditions for issuing paper money were certainly immature, but when they were almost immature, he pushed it by force and no one disapproved. Anyone who dared to argue about the value of copper coins would die.

But in general, Wang Yan's coming to power did not lead to chaos and scramble for supremacy. He easily suppressed the rebels. There was some damage to production and life, but compared with the end of the Sui Dynasty in history, it can only be said that there were some losses, but not much.

After all, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, many warlords were vying for supremacy, so the population of the Sui Dynasty, which was 50 million, had not recovered even at the peak of Li Shimin's reign...

However, for Wang Yan, everything in the Sui Dynasty needed to be rebuilt.

Without the constraints of Yang Guang and the wealthy, he was able to do things much more smoothly. The officials who were afraid of being killed were able to implement his will well and give the people of the Sui Dynasty a relaxed living space.

In the current Great Sui Dynasty, no matter what, the common people cannot even talk about living...

613, winter.

Yang Guang, followed by his guards, walked along the bustling streets of Luoyang.

As the year draws to a close, even though the weather is cold and snowing, there are still many people walking outside.

Thanks to the fact that it was the imperial capital and with a large army at its side, the previous turmoil did not affect the peace of Luoyang and Daxing. In fact, the population of Luoyang increased significantly.

Another reason is naturally the expansion of cotton cultivation, coupled with the shipping of cotton grown overseas, which greatly reduced the cost of cotton and popularized the use of cotton.

As ordinary people living in wealthy areas, we have relatively some spare money. Over the years, we have been equipped with cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, quilts, etc., and our ability to resist the cold has been greatly enhanced.

In recent years, no one has frozen to death within a radius of 100 miles centered on Luoyang and Daxing.

Wang Yan has a complete intelligence system here, and he is sure that the person did not freeze to death and not report it, but that there was no such person.

Cotton helped to keep out the cold, so even if a heavy snowstorm collapsed the house, people would not freeze to death for a while. In addition, coal was used, and everyone burned stoves to keep warm.

In fact, ancient China was not beautiful. Fire was a basic necessity for life. How could the mountains be beautiful if they were all cut down? Only the royal gardens and the mountains of the rich families were not allowed to be cut down by the people, so that they could be somewhat ornamental. In addition, the steep mountains were not easy to cut down. If you cut down the mountains, you would lose your life, and if you didn't, you couldn't save them.

The third point is that due to the stable supply of food, food prices will not fluctuate widely due to domestic disasters and will always remain stable within an affordable range.

Even if it's cold, you can light the stove, cook some hot porridge, and slurp a bowl of it to get through the cold.

Wang Yan’s contribution is unparalleled.

This is what he did over the years by constantly spreading his influence and mobilizing various resources. Yang Guang forgot his roots. After he conquered the wealthy families in the Central Plains, his power reached its peak, and the wealthy families in Guanlong and the south did not dare to disobey him. But Yang Guang did not understand that his power came from Wang Yan's support. With Wang Yan's deterrence, his power could radiate out.

He did indeed highly concentrate military power and strengthen central authority, but that was from the perspective of a proper institutional structure, not from the perspective of exercising power under such a structure.

What's the use of his power if he can't exercise it and implement it locally?

Yang Guang, who is now walking around the streets with his hands behind his back, finally understood after several years of thinking and reviewing that the whole court is full of traitors, and only Wang Yan is a loyal minister. But Wang Yan was forced to rebel by himself...

Watching people walking and shopping on the street, watching the stall owners shouting to attract customers, watching the heat in the restaurant, through the dewdrops on the glass windows, you can see the bustling crowds inside clinking glasses and toasting each other.

The children's faces were red from the cold, and they jumped happily beside the adults.

Those with red lips and white teeth are from wealthy families, while those with red and somewhat dirty faces are children from poor families. They are all very happy walking on the street.

The soldiers patrolled the streets in teams of ten, accompanied by the rustling sounds of the armored leaves. When people quarreled or fought on the street, they would stop talking from a distance, glare at each other, and then disperse.

Because if you continue to beat them, the soldiers will come over and spank you with the scabbard without asking any questions. They will ask you the reason after the beating, and then they will judge for themselves and beat you again. It will definitely hurt, but it will not kill you. What will kill you is the humiliation.

If a soldier encountered a thief, the thief would be in a miserable state, as he would be transported to a mine to dig for a year and then sent overseas to farm. Needless to say, a child thief would have his hands and feet broken, and after he recovered, he would be forced to work in the country until he died of exhaustion.

There were homeless people, both old and young, all were taken in, the children had books to read, and those who were able to work had jobs to do.

The implementation in other places is definitely not in place, but in Luoyang and Daxing, it is absolutely and resolutely enforced without any leniency, and the social security is quite good.

Yang Guang walked and watched along the way. He enjoyed the atmosphere of the empire because it was a symbol of the empire's strength. As for the people who created the atmosphere, he had no feelings for them because he never looked down on them.

No, it is wrong to look down on him. He has no regard for the people. To him, they are just resources for him to use. He does not care whether they live or die.

When he arrived at the door of a restaurant, he saw the chef cooking mutton soup under the shed at the door and smelled the slightly fishy aroma in the air. He couldn't help but feel hungry and immediately walked in with the guards behind him.

"Give me five large bowls of mutton soup, five catties of tendon cakes, and a pot of hot water."

Yang Guang didn't ask the guards behind him, but asked for these things directly and went into the house.

The chef who was cooking mutton soup at the door smiled proudly. Why was he cooking it outside? It was to attract people to come and eat. Look, the nobles guarded by armored soldiers have come.

After entering the house, the people inside who were buzzing suddenly became quiet when they saw Yang Guang coming in and the four soldiers following behind him. After seeing Yang Guang and the four soldiers find an empty table and sit down, people ignored them and continued to buzz.

The rules are different now. With Wang Yan in power, the people have become much more relaxed.

In the past, even servants in the nobles’ houses dared to whip the common people, and the nobles bullied men and women without scruples. Now, if you look for officials in Luoyang and Daxing, you will never find an official who dares to bully the common people at will.

Just three years ago, when the war was still going on outside, the son of an official in the city raped a woman. An old man knelt at the gate of the inner city to complain. The matter reached Wang Yan's ears, and the official who escaped the initial purge was sent to labor, while the son was skinned alive at the gate of the inner city in front of the people.

The last blow was made by the old man.

After the chopping, the old man knelt at the city gate and kowtowed frantically in the direction of the imperial city...

This incident was just a prelude. Later, Wang Yan issued a notice to let the people expose who bullied them. Whether it was officials or merchants, they were all dealt with miserably.

As a result, the surviving nobles in the city have become obedient, and no one dares to bully the people anymore.

So the people drinking mutton soup in this room were not afraid of the nobleman. They didn’t say anything at first, just because they didn’t know what the nobleman with the soldiers was doing. Seeing that they were also eating, of course they didn’t care...

"I heard that after the New Year, there will be a coronation ceremony and the general will become the emperor."

"What kind of secret is this? He should have ascended the throne a long time ago. The general has people like us in his heart, and he will definitely be a good emperor in the future."

……

Talking about these, everyone had a common topic, talking about the differences after Wang Yan came to power. They also did not forget to scold Yang Guang and those ministers with names.

Several soldiers looked at the smiling Yang Guang and looked at each other silently, confirming the consensus that Yang Guang had gone crazy, and then continued to drink mutton soup and eat tendon cakes.

Yes, Yang Guang just listened to these people scolding him and smiled.

It's not that he is crazy, it's that he is helpless.

After drinking the mutton soup and hot wine comfortably, Yang Guang patted his stomach with satisfaction and went back to his residence.

It was none other than the residence of Duke Wu. Wang Yan had exchanged residences with him. In this courtyard, except for the dozen or so women that Yang Guang loved, the rest were all Wang Yan's people.

When Yang Guang came back, he saw Wang Yan eating mutton hotpot and drinking wine.

"Come, let's drink together."

In response to Wang Yan's invitation, Yang Guang did not refuse. He sat opposite him and poured himself some wine.

"You know about the coronation ceremony, so you have to go there as well."

"Just you arrange it. I'll do whatever you say."

Wang Yan shook his head in amusement: "Have you figured it out?"

"I don't understand. There's no point in thinking about it. You're not going to kill me. I spend money and go shopping every day. It's fine. You're quite humane."

Yang Guang spoke very sincerely.

Because Wang Yan did not confine him, but let him move freely, gave him a lot of money to spend, and allowed him to enjoy all the new things. Except for not being able to become emperor, everything else was good.

He is trying hard to have children now, so the more children he has, the more money he will spend, which is disgusting to Wang Yan.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Wang Yan, I want to hear the truth from you. If I didn't want to kill you, would you still rebel?"

"Would you not want to kill me?"

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and raised his wine glass: "Drink to victory!"

"Drink victory!"

Wang Yan smiled, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
