Sui and Tang Dynasties: Choose the Empire Faction at the Beginning

"How are the state affairs recently?"

Yang Ji asked first.

Afterwards, the courtiers below all went out and reported all the state affairs of various parties in the past few days, such as what happened in Luoyang City recently, or how some of the policies issued before have affected Luoyang and so on.

And from the perspective of Da Sui's finances and people's sentiments, it basically gives an overview of what has happened in Da Sui recently.

Yang Ji nodded slightly after hearing this, and he could be considered to have a clear understanding of the current situation in the northern part of the Great Sui Dynasty.

"After the rebellion, most regions need to recuperate and restore their vitality, so the governors and county governors in each region must be well governed, and there are strict requirements in terms of candidates."

Yang Ji said in a deep voice.

These areas were finally recovered, and he didn't want to form a party for personal gain at some point, and come up with some unseemly things, and once again lead to rebellions in some areas.

So when talking about this matter, Yang Ji's eyes flashed, and this look made people feel inexplicably frightened.

The ministers below all shuddered subconsciously.

"The minister waits for orders."

Led by Fang Xuanling, the three acting ministers all came out and bowed their heads.

After hearing these words, Yang Ji nodded in satisfaction.

Whether he wants to go to Jingzhou or an official in Qingzhou, they all need people with good political performance and dignified conduct. Only such people can accurately know the well-being of the people, and naturally there will be no corruption.

There was a rebellion before the Great Sui Dynasty, and corruption was one of the reasons, and there was... the forces of all parties were just around the corner, in other words, Yang Ji planned to start adding some of his own personnel in the DPRK, weakening the strength of each group.

He can allow some ministers to have enormous power, but he will never allow these ministers to cover the sky with one hand.

"The question of selecting candidates will be left to the Ministry of Personnel to be in charge."

Yang Ji continued.

In addition to dispatching relevant officials to govern the state, county and city, some manpower is also needed to act as the local guard force.

"Yes!"

The Minister of Personnel bowed his hands and stepped out in response.

Yu Wenhua and squinted his eyes slightly, he noticed some bad tastes from His Highness's series of actions.

"His Royal Highness, now that there is a shortage of food in the north, the reward for farming should be widely used in the north."

Li Yuan said at this time.

"Yes, rewarding ploughing can maximize the agricultural development of Da Sui and increase the grain output of Da Sui."

Solvay, who was an old minister, followed suit.

Behind him, such as Xiao Yu, Pei Yun, and others, all held an attitude of approval.

"Since that's the case, it's time to hand over to the Ministry of Household and Ministry of Industry to do it."

Yang Ji immediately took notice. This reward for farming, he himself planned to implement it nationwide, in order to increase the grain output of the Great Sui Dynasty. Now that someone has proposed it, it is natural to be able to quickly adopt it.

Rewarding cultivated fields to restore agricultural productivity and other matters, a decision has been made for the time being, and there are other things that need to be paid attention to.

"By the way, you can use all the rebel prisoners of war to develop barren fields. This king wants to increase the cultivation of Da Sui's fields."

Yang Ji said in a deep voice.

This time, the counter-insurgency was like a broken bamboo. Many rebels surrendered directly, and the scale of prisoners of war was not small.

Although the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, and it is natural to serve corvée to increase the amount of cultivated land for the development of wasteland in the Great Sui Dynasty.

"Yes."

The ministers bowed their hands.

"When Li Cunxiao comes back, we will hold a big feast to entertain the soldiers who fought against the rebellion this time."

Yang Ji continued to give orders.

Counting the days, at the end of tomorrow noon, Li Cunxiao will be able to return to Luoyang.

"Retreat."

After hastily dealt with some matters, the head of the internal supervisor came out and shouted, and today's meeting was announced to be over.

As for the rest of the follow-up issues, it will be discussed at the next meeting, and the current focus is... on restoring the productivity of various states and counties and agriculture.

...East Palace, in the Prince's bedroom.

"My minister Pei Min sees His Highness."

After entering the palace, Pei Min, who was from the North Branch of Jinyi Wei, followed the ceremony of a monarch and minister.

"Free gift."

Yang Ji flicked his long sleeves and said lightly.

"What's going on in the South"

Yang Ji asked after the ceremony of the monarch and ministers was over.

"Returning to Your Highness, the progress of the counter-insurgency in the South is not as fast as in the North, where the rebel forces are not strong, but there are many branches and complex forces, so Your Majesty's progress is relatively slow."

Pei Min cupped his hands and said.

"The news from the north reaches the south without any impact"

Yang Ji frowned slightly.

"His Royal Highness, among the rebel forces in the south, there are mainly some remnants of the Chen Dynasty, etc..., the suppression of the rebellion in the north basically has little effect on them, but some rebels still chose to surrender, and the number of rebels has indeed decreased. Quite a few."

Pei Min said truthfully.

Yang Ji nodded when he heard the words, the South has always been like this.

Chapter [-] "Look out for the various rebel forces in the south. After all the things in the north are over, this king will go to the south."

Yang Ji said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Pei Min cupped his hands in response.

After all the related matters were reported, Pei Min also bowed and slowly withdrew from the Prince's bedroom.

After Pei Min left, the bedroom became a little quiet.

Yang Ji took a deep breath and stretched before walking towards the desk and chair.

The desk was already filled with some memorials that he needed to read in recent days, and these memorials basically recorded all the events in the entire northern Sui Dynasty in recent days.

Only after reading all the things in these memorials, Yang Ji can truly control a series of things in the Northland.

"Huh, these memorials are quite a lot."

Yang Ji let out a long breath and said.

The contents of this memorial are indeed numerous. After all, every day, there will be memorials from somewhere that will be passed on to the imperial court. Finally, the ministers in charge will read and review these memorials. This is the end of the handling of relevant state affairs.

The three acting ministers dealt with these political affairs together, and it takes time for them to be busy every day. Now that Yang Ji is just browsing the content, I am afraid it will take a lot of time.

Without much delay, Yang Ji began to read his many memorials.

The content of the memorial is first of all about the system of rewarding farmland. Judging from the reactions of various places, the rewarding farmland system is quite popular in various regions.

After accepting the reward farming system, some people were all overjoyed and did not show any other emotions.

This represents the unity of the people and the practicality of rewarding ploughing.

In addition, that is... the governance situation of the regions after they were recovered, from the memorial, the situation in each region was relatively stable, and there were no problems.

Nanyang County, which was first pacified, also recovered its productivity at this time. Although it cannot be said that all the vitality has been restored, it can be said that at least half of it has recovered, and the population has gradually increased.

Outside Nanyang County, areas such as Bingzhou and Youzhou, the areas where Liu Wuzhou and others rebelled, are now recovering vitality and productivity.

But it will take a long time to recover as a whole.

In addition to these things, there is also a report on the Youzhou frontier.

The Turks never appeared in the frontiers of Youzhou and Bingzhou since their defeat in the first battle of Yanmen Pass.

In other words, the situation in the frontier is relatively stable, and no foreign aggression has occurred.

This is also an important reason why the Great Sui Dynasty was able to quickly quell the domestic rebellion.

Rebel forces from all sides, such as Dou Jiangao, Gao Kaidao and Liu Wuzhou, are quite valued by the Turks. They believe that as long as they control these people, they can cause chaos in the Great Sui Dynasty.

When the Great Sui Dynasty was overwhelmed, their Turks would be able to expand and pacify the entire Great Sui in one fell swoop. This is an important reason why the Turks supported Liu Wuzhou and others.

It was also the main reason why Yang Guang had difficulty quelling the rebellion before the First Battle of Yanmen Pass began.

But after the first battle at Yanmen Pass, the problem was solved to a great extent. Without foreign aggression and Turkic interference, it was naturally easier for the Great Sui to quell the rebellion.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Battle of Yanmen Pass was the key point in the reversal of the life and death of the entire Great Sui Dynasty.

After Yang Ji had read all the memorials, it was already late at night, and the dim candlelight pulled Yang Ji's figure extraordinarily slender.

Yang Ji put away all the memorials on the desk, and stood up and stretched a little. That's it for today's reading of the memorials.... The rest is what happened recently, but... ........not necessary...get it quickly in a short period of time.

The main purpose of Yang Ji reading these memorials is to grasp the information of the previous Sui Dynasty, not the national situation of the Sui Dynasty in recent days.

"His Royal Highness Taisun, it is late at night, please rest quickly."

The voice of the Chief Inspector sounded.

"The king knows."

Yang Ji replied lightly.

Hearing the words, the internal supervisor was not speaking.

...... At midnight, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

In the garrison place outside the city, Li Shimin walked out of his tent quietly, holding several jars of fine wine in his arms.

At the same time, Su Dingfang and Hou Jun set the direction of the tent, Su Dingfang and Hou Jun set also walked out with a cat.

They were careful and kept their steps to a minimum, so as not to wake the others in the barracks.

The three of them meet quietly outside the barracks.
