Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 699 Restoration of Rivers and Mountains
With the fall of the Shaolin Temple, there is no martial art in the Central Plains that can compete with the imperial court.

Moreover, under Zhuge Qingyun's arrangement, the imperial court's plan to search temples in various places and reduce monks went very smoothly.With the Shaolin Temple gone, other temples naturally dare not oppose the imperial court.

Although they were aggrieved, there was nothing they could do.After all, those who refused to accept either died under the butcher's knife, or were arrested and sent to hard labor.

And Zhuge Qingyun actually confiscated assets of 1000 million taels of silver in temples all over the Tang Dynasty.This is not counting the land occupied by the temple enclosure, etc.

This huge number really shocked everyone in the court.

Moreover, many monks have returned to the common life and returned home. They have changed from monks to tenant farmers, and the labor force has also been greatly improved.

And without the constraints of these religions and rivers and lakes, Song Ci thoroughly implemented the new law of the court.

Now the peasants in the Tang Dynasty, although not everyone has fields and houses to live in, but for many peasants who lost their land, the imperial court no longer collects poll tax from them, so their living burden has been reduced all of a sudden.And they dared to have children.

The imperial court leased the confiscated temple land to farmers for farming, and distributed it to them, allowing them to buy the land from the imperial court by way of redemption.This also greatly improved their enthusiasm for production.

Soon after autumn and winter came, during this time Li Qingwei had been busy with state affairs at court, and everything in the Tang Dynasty was developing in a prosperous direction.

As for the collected military expenses, Li Qingwei didn't keep a single one.It was just that 50 taels of silver was left as an internal offering under the advice of the queen and the prime minister, and part of the rest was used as officials’ salaries and went to the household department. debt owed.But most of the money was used as military expenses and charged to the Ministry of War.

During this period of time, apart from concentrating on state affairs, Li Qingwei also cared about her own harem.

Although it wasn't that long before everyone got married, Zhao Ke, Guo Fu, Wan Yanping, and Cheng Ying were all pregnant one after another.And Li Guo is also pregnant with a second child.

Although the child was conceived by Li Guo, it was claimed to be conceived by Su Yuan.

However, there was one thing that made Li Qingwei think too much, that is, Guo Fu did not become his burden, on the contrary, Guo Fu was very well-behaved in the palace.

The relationship with other people is also very good, even though she has been unable to get along with Zhao Jue before, but now she is talking and laughing with Zhao Jue.

And everyone likes Guo Fu very much. Although Guo Fu's martial arts is the lowest among them, her cooking skills are the best among them.

Guo Fu's culinary skills were passed down from her mother Huang Rong, and all kinds of dishes can be prepared at her fingertips.Because of her presence, Li Qingwei's food quality has also improved a lot.

However, Li Qingwei's grass-roots team, the palace, doesn't have too many rules, it's like a free market.Everyone has no sissy airs.

If it wasn't for the fear of the royal family's face, they would even dare to leave the palace without authorization.

Although they can't go out of the palace, they can bring things from the outside into the palace. Whenever Li Qingwei comes to the imperial garden, there are barbecues for barbecues, dancing for dancing, swinging for swings, martial arts competitions, card games, and her own. These "girls" have a good time every day.

Now that Zhao Ke is pregnant, Li Qingwei doesn't want her to work too hard, so he takes care of all the recent state affairs.

The basic principle of pursuing is Zhao Ke's policy of "big things should be considered, but small things should be careful". There are precedents for many things today, and there will be no big mistakes.

Besides, Li Qingwei was not a dogmatic person. If he couldn't make up his mind about something, he would hold a "cabinet meeting" in the imperial study room and ask the prime minister and others to come and pay attention.

Soon time came to the middle of winter, when the weather was the coldest now, there was a heavy snowfall in Kaifeng City, and the cornices of the imperial palace were covered with silver clothes.

On the other hand, Zhao Jue was standing on the Zhaixing Building with a big belly, eating hot pot and admiring the snow scene.

Now that all the girls are pregnant, this is also according to Li Qingwei's wish, because they can't sleep with them, he can also rest, and he can spoil Xiaolongnv in a fair and honest manner.

If you want to say who he loves the most among the harem, it is naturally Xiaolongnv.

Compared with other people, Xiao Longnu is much better-behaved and more beautiful, especially her body temperature is always icy cold, and the smell of honey is as sweet as ice cream.

Although Li Qingwei, the emperor, only favored the beauties in the harem, he did not follow Tang Minghuang's old path. After all, how could a good-for-nothing like Li Longji compare to a master like him.

Now he has not only pampered the harem alone, but also has not neglected the state affairs.

Today Li Qingwei signed the last official document.Then the servants forwarded it to the Cabinet Department of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Taiwei's Mansion, and Prince Regent's Mansion.

Then he went back to the palace to pamper his beauty.

For the next few days, Li Qingwei lived directly in Xiaolongnv's bedroom, and the daily state affairs of the country were all handed over to Regent Li Qing'an and Prime Minister Zhuge Qingyun Dali.

And he wants to focus all his energy on the military.

There is a big map in Xiaolongnu's bedroom, and he marked the battle situation on the front line according to the pond newspaper sent by Kuaima.

And this time Datang is considered an all-star lineup.

Today's Taiwei's Mansion is managed by the Prime Minister Zhuge Qingyun, while Guo Jing leads the Northern Expedition as the military commander.

On the north side, Guo Jing led the army, and Wang Ping was the deputy general to attack northward. Now they have crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Taiyuan.

On the east side, the Jingqi led by Yang Chan and his daughter regained the lost ground.

As Zhuge Qingyun expected, whether it was the Northern Expedition or the Eastern Expedition to recapture the land of Qilu.

Tang Jun did not encounter any decent resistance.

After the battle in Chang'an City.The Mongolian army and the local Han puppet army have no fighting spirit.The heroes of the Tang Dynasty surrendered after hearing the wind with just a sprint to the opposite side.

Moreover, an "uprising" in response to the Tang Dynasty broke out in the Han area, especially in Qufu of the Confucian family, and in Lanling and other places. The Mongolian court thus responded with an uprising.

With the help of these scumbags, Datang's army didn't fight any battles at all, basically they went and occupied wherever they went.

And there is no need to liquidate the local Mongols. These Han puppet soldiers directly copied and killed them all in order to accept the votes and express their determination.

When Yang Yong's army arrived there, they basically went to count the supplies.Then receive the surrendered troops.

But this is not their fault. According to the policy set by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if the surrender is late, then they will be liquidated.

If the uprising surrendered, at most it would be the family's land, and some property would be confiscated.Compared with these extraneous things, the lives of the whole family and the official status are the most important.

So instead of using the head of your colleagues as a vote, then wait for your colleagues to use your head as a vote.

Therefore, as soon as the army of the Tang Dynasty was launched, the landlords of these Han lands started to move first.Thinking about how to surrender to the new court and keep his iron-clad "lord" status.

In less than a month, the Tang army regained a large area of ​​lost ground in the north.

Without the cooperation of the Han landlords, these Mongols would be blind because they could not understand the language and could not understand anywhere.

Moreover, many Han landlords have put on the banner of Datang.Now these Mongols are besieged on all sides, and it is impossible to tell who is the official army of Datang and who is the responding volunteer army.

Now that the soldiers have no fighting spirit, they try their best to shrink northward, planning to retreat to the grassland.
