Lu Yan sent Xu Shu to help Li Mu and at the same time personally led Liu Bowen to northern Xinjiang.

Go and meet the Liao Kingdom for a while.

This time, Lu Yan brought three generals with him.

They are Xing Tian, ​​Dian Wei, Xu Chu, plus the unpredictable Liu Bowen.

Safety issues are guaranteed.

As for national affairs, Lu Yan once again left them to the ministers of the three provinces.

They are Zhuge Liang, Zhang Juzheng and Xiao He.

Zhang Juzheng proved himself with his own strength.

His talents in domestic affairs are no worse than Zhuge Liang and Xiao He.

After all, Zhang Juzheng is also the famous"chief minister of the cabinet" in Chinese history.

Zhang Juzheng had been in power for ten years, and the power he had assumed was the power of Shenzong. This was Zhang Juzheng's need to serve the country, but his rise to power meant that Shenzong lost his throne.

Zhang Juzheng's loyalty to state affairs and sole control of power was a manifestation of contempt for the Lord in Shenzong's heart.

Zhang Juzheng's New Deal is undoubtedly the most far-reaching and successful reform since the reforms of Shang Yang, Qin Shihuang, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties until the eve of modern times.

The impact of Zhang Juzheng's reforms is not only reflected in his ability to turn the tide of decline and turn the tide, miraculously turning hostilities into friendship in northern Xinjiang, which to a certain extent alleviated domestic class and ethnic conflicts and extended the Ming Dynasty's reign; it is also reflected in one fell swoop Reversing the financial crisis of"lucky fortune and hard luck", the rule of the early Wanli years laid a good foundation for the further development of capitalism in the Wanli period; it is also reflected in the national unification and social transformation on the eve of modern times. a huge boost.

The one-whip law was a tax and servitude system between the"two tax laws" and the apportionment system. It played a linking role in the evolution of the taxation system in the late feudal society of my country.

Unfortunately, although Zhang Juzheng's reforms achieved certain results, they could not change the deep-seated shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal and taxation system.

On the one hand, the widespread smallholder farmer economy at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China was swallowed up by the unstoppable wave of land rights concentration after the middle period. Land concentration led to more and more refugees and produced a large number of tenant farmers. Landlords relied on land monopoly to excessively exploit tenant farmers..

On the other hand, the tax system designed in the early Ming Dynasty based on the decentralization of land rights was increasingly ineffective. The government's ever-expanding financial needs and unstoppable illegal expropriation became an unbearable burden on civil society. The fiscal and tax reforms in the late Ming Dynasty were unable to cure this problem. The disease has penetrated deeply into the bones of the system and the state machinery has been irreversibly damaged.

In terms of administrative achievements, he was not only the only great politician in the Ming Dynasty, but also one of the few since the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang and Wang Anshi can barely compare with him. Zhuge Liang was in a more difficult situation than him, and he never had the opportunity to display his economic power throughout the country. Wang Anshi was rich in ideals but poor in implementation. He had the ability to gain the trust of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, but he did not have the ability to comprehensively check the reputation of his subordinates and local officials.

······

Lu Yan admired Zhang Juzheng's talent very much, which was why he promoted him.

Coupled with the fact that Zhuge Liang and Xiao He were on the side, the three people acted as checks and balances like the separation of powers.

If the three people disagree, then wait for him to deal with the problem.

If you are very anxious, call the six ministers to discuss and make decisions.

Whether it is Jiang Wan, Yan Zhenqing, Cai Yong, Gu Yanwu and others, they are all talented people.

Lu Yan was relieved to leave the country to these people to govern.

Therefore, Lu Yan took four people and the Tiger Guard to Northern Xinjiang.

Yang Miaozhen didn't know what happened.

After they arrived at Baigu County, they directly attacked the city captured by the Liao Kingdom.

The current Liao Kingdom has conquered six cities from hundreds of kingdoms.

Formed a huge line of defense.

It's like a long snake formation.

The kings of hundreds of kingdoms even hated the Liao Kingdom.

So they reached an agreement with the Yun State, and the two families attacked the Liao State together.

As for the conditions, it was the six counties captured by the Liao Kingdom.

As long as the Liao Kingdom is defeated, the Hundred Kingdoms would rather give six counties to the Yun Kingdom.

They would rather give benefits to Yun Guo than take advantage of Yun Guo.

Of course King Yun agreed.

He himself had a grudge against the Liao Kingdom.

You'd be a fool to disagree.

In order to show the friendship between the two countries, Lu Yan also presented some rare treasures to the kings of hundreds of countries, as well as some benefits.

For example, two jade cabbages, a gold bowl, a pair of jade and jade, and a blood coral.

Priceless.

The kings of hundreds of kingdoms were very moved.

Don't underestimate the Hundred Kingdoms. It is unusual for the Hundred Kingdoms to become the land of three counties.

This has defeated many powerful countries.

The kings of the Hundred Kingdoms reciprocated by sending out their generals - Wen Chou, and the strongest commander of the Hundred Kingdoms - Yang Hu.

Lu Yan also knew the strength of Baiguo.

Although far inferior to Yun Guo.

But in Yanzhou, it is already considered to be above average.

Especially Yang Hu, Lu Yan was very envious.

I wish I could capture him.

In addition, Wen Chou and other pioneer generals in the army were added.

This lineup can contain the Liao Kingdom's large military strength.

So what if there is a peerless formation?

······

After Yang Miaozhen arrived with her sisters, she led the soldiers to approach the city and started shouting.

The general guarding the city was a general from the Liao Kingdom, named Yelu Guozhen, and he was a fierce general.
