This deputy general had followed Zhao Jiguang for many years, and because he was very easy to use, he was transferred over directly.
He was also holding back his anger and wanted to wash away the shame he had suffered at Zhenbei Pass.
Of course, Zhao Jiguang didn't take this to heart.
After all, it's over.
However, he had been the General of the Northern Frontier for many years, so he asked, "How is the Northern Frontier doing recently?"
"The northern border?" The deputy general pondered for a moment. "Since the last retreat of the grassland army, there haven't been any major battles. I heard the court even sent a minister of the Ministry of Revenue to conduct some kind of border trade. Initially, there was no response, but in the end, it was a success, and the entire Yan region showed its full support!"
"Yandi?"
After hearing this, Zhao Jiguang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes, it's Yandi, because the Minister of Revenue is the son of the head of the Sun family in Yandi."
"When we first started the trade, no one cooperated. But the King of Yan waved his hand and asked the merchants in Yan to cooperate, so the progress was very fast."
The reason why the deputy general was able to get the news was naturally because he was in Yan and had colleagues and friends, and they learned about it when they wrote to each other.
"Will the King of Yan cooperate with the son of the head of the Sun family?"
Thinking about it this way, Zhao Jiguang felt that it was normal, after all, he was his uncle.
"But General, the Prince of Yan is involved with a court official, and that court official is from the Sun family. Will there be any trouble?"
The deputy general thought of something else and continued, "It is said that the King of Yan has already wiped out all the forces in Yan. He is a man of his word. He has also opened a school and expanded the horse farm. What if..."
Having said that, he didn't dare to say any more. After all, the matter involved too many things. If outsiders heard it, it would be a big trouble.
"That's fine." Zhao Jiguang shook his head and said, "Even if the Prince of Yan wants to, he doesn't have the strength to do so."
"Now, our Great Wei is peaceful and powerful. Your Majesty holds great power. The court officials are united and the country is at its peak. No matter how powerful the King of Yan is, can he challenge the entire Great Wei with just the Yan territory?"
"Besides, Your Majesty hasn't even taken the military token from my father yet. This is obviously because he's considering Prince Yan. Furthermore, there's also the Gaoyang Protectorate in the northeast."
"Although the distance is quite far, the greatest strength of that Champion Marquis is his ability to surprise the enemy. The King of Yan is no match for him."
"So, as long as Your Majesty is here, there will be no problems in Yan."
This.
The deputy general nodded, thinking that it was indeed the case.
Immediately, the two of them didn't say much and began to discuss other things.
After all, the most important thing for them now is to deal with the possible attacks from the Japanese and Prince Yuan San Taizi at any time.
As for the rest, the imperial court and Your Majesty will take care of it, so you don’t need to worry about it at all.
...
At the same time, far away in Yan.
Ever since Prince Yan eliminated those rebellious forces under his command.
His control over his fiefdom was greatly enhanced.
With the full support of the Sun family, everything was done with ease. Whether it was opening an academy to let people in Yan learn the classics of the Central Plains, or expanding the horse farm, everything was implemented quickly.
Moreover, the Prince of Yan also followed the example of the imperial court and started to implement the reform of dividing the land tax into equal parts. Of course, his methods were not strong.
After all, there are many wealthy and powerful families in Yan. Although the Sun family does not rely on this, they have just pacified the forces under their command.
If you start to mess around right away, it can easily lead to unpredictable consequences.
The King of Yan knew this very well.
I can't compare to that royal brother.
He commands a million-strong army and has wise ministers to assist him.
Of course, he knew that this was only part of the reason why the court was able to successfully carry out reforms.
That was because of the emperor's drastic measures.
And what has happened in recent days.
It also made Prince Yan admire his royal brother even more.
The reform, the destruction of Gaoyang, the retreat from the grassland, and the pacification of the Baiyue, each of these things shook his heart.
Because King Yan believed that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it, it was too difficult, but the other party was able to finish and do everything well within a year.
As expected, the late emperor had foresight. From this perspective, he had to be cautious when managing a small area like Yan.
In comparison, there is indeed a big difference. My royal brother is more suitable to be an emperor than him.
And my royal brother will become the greatest emperor of all time!
King Yan thought.
What he has to do now is to assist the other party. After all, serving the country wholeheartedly is what he hopes for!
The reason why he expanded the horse farm was to provide the court with more powerful war horses. At the same time, he also wanted to organize the power of Yan. Although the southward invasion of the grassland had been temporarily pacified, it would come back sooner or later.
Prince Yan felt that as a member of the royal family and the only younger brother of the emperor, he must shoulder the responsibility of guarding the country's borders!
As for the establishment of academies, it was also to facilitate better communication between Yan and the Central Plains.
Emperors of all dynasties have always regarded Yan as a thorn in their side.
He does this.
It is to solve this problem and make Wei truly unified!
Although these things have more or less caused dissatisfaction among the officials of the court, fortunately, the emperor did not seem to care about it and did not even issue an edict, showing his wholehearted trust in him.
It turned out that what the Queen Mother said was right. My brother is a generous person. I misunderstood him before.
We must try every possible way to make up for our past debts.
certainly.
The King of Yan did not say this to anyone else.
He believes that as long as the work is done well, there is no need to speak it out or not.
