    This current season should be regarded as the beginning of peace for the people of Daliang, and everything is waiting to be done.  But at least one thing the people can be sure of is that Daliang will not fight again in a short time.  As long as there is no war, abandoned crops can be planted again and broken homes can be rebuilt.  Everything in life will get better again, people are so simple sometimes.  Returned to Bianjing from Dezhou.  Liang Xin promulgated three major systems.  The first is the household registration system. Since everyone fled for their lives during the war, many people have already left their hometowns.  Liang Xin's household registration system is established based on the principle of "people belong to the place where they are established". Wherever you live now, you are considered a local person and your household registration is in the local area.  The second system is called the separation of military and political affairs.  Because in the war before, military generals often also took charge of local civil affairs because they had military power. Liang Xin's system clearly defined the responsibilities of civilian officials and military generals and did not allow military generals to interfere in civil affairs.  As for the third system, it is also the most controversial and has caused the greatest repercussions in the world.  This system is called "dividing farmland into households".  Liang Xin designated the land in the world as state-owned and did not allow private transfer of the land.  Then the fields are divided according to the population of each household, and only a small amount of taxes need to be paid on the income from field cultivation.  Needless to say, this system will definitely cause great controversy. In the final analysis, the Northern Song Dynasty greatly improved the social status of the gentry.  In the entire Central Plains, scholars and wealthy merchants controlled the most land in the Song Dynasty.  Now that Liang Xin said that the fields were state-owned assets, this was tantamount to taking away hectares of fertile land from their hands. How could they accept this?  "However, the world in Daliang has just been settled, and the officials of the imperial court have just been selected, and there are not many interests involved in it.  Therefore, after Liang Xin issued this order, Daliang began to implement this order.  Although this system is very harmful to the interests of wealthy businessmen, it is great news for the common people in the world.  The entire Daliang Kingdom praised Liang Xin as a wise king, and Liang Xin indeed cared about the people wholeheartedly.  After the three systems were promulgated to the world, Liang Xin announced that the world would be exempted from taxes for three years. At the same time, people in the newly acquired territory could go to the local government office to receive free grain and one-year ration subsidies.  The people's livelihood in Daliang has begun to slowly recover, but there are pros and cons.  The three systems were a good thing for the people, but they caused dissatisfaction among the scholars and merchants. Gradually, the scholars and merchants began to transfer their wealth to Jinghu North Road and other five roads that were not yet attached to Daliang.  Such an act has made the W-Road, which was originally suffering from declining production levels, slowly begin to regain its vitality.  As someone who also traveled from modern times, Yang Aotian naturally has his own opinions on people's livelihood and civil affairs.  Dingzhou itself is a place rich in products. Despite the war, the fertile fields have never been abandoned.  However, the fields outside Dingzhou City are different. How many are deserted.  On the one hand, Yang Aotian recruited a large number of new soldiers, and on the other hand, he also proposed many encouraging policies to encourage people who did not have land in the city to farm outside the city.  In order to protect the cultivated fields from further destruction, Yang Aotian recruited workers to build a pass outside Dingzhou City.  This pass is built between Wenfeng Mountain and Fengyi Mountain and is the only way to enter Dingzhou City.  With this barrier blocked, anyone who wants to break through will have to pay a heavy price.  As Yang Aotian expected, after Li Zhiwei's death, Han Dongyang had no time to pay attention to the changes in Dingzhou City. He only wanted to quickly regain the several cities that Li Zhiwei had previously occupied.  What surprised Yang Aotian even more was that Tuo Yunchuan couldn't sit still after Li Zhiwei died like this.  Tuo Yunchuan had refused to obey Han Dongyang's orders before. Now that Li Zhiwei's death has allowed Han Dongyang to take back all Li Zhiwei's territory, then the next person Han Dongyang has to deal with will definitely be Tuo Yunchuan.  Therefore, Tuo Yunchuan was unwilling to sit still and wait for death. He also led his troops to declare independence and proclaimed himself King of Jingdong.  Han Dongyang and Tuo Yunchuan were fighting dogs, and no one paid attention to Yang Aotian in Dingzhou.  Now three months have passed since Yang Aotian occupied Dingzhou, and the development of Dingzhou City is becoming increasingly prosperous.  More and more refugees are coming to Dingzhou City.  When the refugees come, they will first receive preliminary resettlement, and then the abandoned land outside the city will be allocated to them for planting.  Some young people will join the Zhengqi Alliance. Today, the Zhengqi Alliance has more than 50,000 people, which can be regarded as a quite powerful team.  With Dingzhou in his possession, Yang Aotian doesn¡¯t want to develop anything else in the short term.  Now he doesn't want to dominate the world, he just wants to live a stable life in a corner.  But unfortunately, fate is destined not to let him live such a stable life.  To the west of Dingzhou is Chenzhou.  Chenzhou belongs to the territory of Tuo Yunchuan, but now TuoSichuan was at war with Han Dongyang, so Chenzhou's guard Ma Huaji had some careful thoughts.  A few days ago, Ma Huaji's brother-in-law went to Dingzhou to buy grain and grass and discovered the huge changes in Dingzhou City. Then he learned from the people of Dingzhou why there were such big changes in Dingzhou City, and what made him pay more attention to it.  This is another saying from the people of Dingzhou.  "City Lord Yang is really a man of unparalleled wit. He tricked Zuo Feng out of Dingzhou City, then entered Dingzhou City with less than 10,000 troops, closed the city gate and became the city lord himself."  To the people of Dingzhou, these words were praising Yang Aotian for his wit, but for Ma Huaji's brother-in-law Liu Gensheng, he only heard one message. Three months ago, Yang Aotian only had less than 10,000 troops.  Now three months later, even if he vigorously recruits troops, the number is only more than 30,000.  And the newly recruited soldiers have no combat effectiveness at all without being tempered on the battlefield.  So isn't the current Dingzhou City equivalent to an unarmed child holding a gold ingot in his hand?  I can't think of my thoughts, but I feel guilty about it.  Liu Gensheng hurried back to Chenzhou and reported the matter to Ma Huaji.  After hearing the news, Ma Huaji and his men made a plan and immediately decided not to report the matter to General Tuo, but sent troops privately to occupy Dingzhou City.  Anyway, Dingzhou City was originally Han Dongyang's territory, so he occupied it.  After making this decision, the 60,000 soldiers and horses in Chenzhou City began to gather, without even concealing their basic intentions, and headed straight for Dingzhou.  Although Yang Aotian is not willing to fight anymore for the time being, this does not mean that he is not wary at all.  Since occupying Dingzhou, he has arranged spies to go to Chenzhou in the west, Tanzhou in the south, and even Jiangling Mansion in the north.  Now that something happened in Chenzhou, Yang Aotian received the news early in the morning.  After careful inquiring along the way, it was finally determined that the Chenzhou army was heading towards Dingzhou.  After confirming the news, Yang Aotian did not panic, but he felt a little helpless.  I didn't want to provoke others, but others provoked me instead.  But now that they are here, Yang Aotian has also decided to teach them a deeper lesson, so as to give a warning to other young people with evil intentions.  First, Yang Aotian convened a meeting with the core members of the Zhengqi Alliance and told Song Yan and others about the attack by the Chenzhou army.  After discussion, the army began to formulate a battle plan, and the first plan was a blocking battle.  There is a Yuanshui River between Chenzhou and Dingzhou, and Yuanshui is the first place where Yang Aotian and the others blocked Ma Huaji and the others.  Yang Aotian personally took 20,000 troops to Yuanshui. Their journey progressed day and night three days faster than Ma Huaji and the others.  In three days, Yang Aotian and the others spent money to purchase or lease all the local ferries, and then opened a ferry rental agency and waited for Ma Huaji and the others to take the bait.  However, on the morning of the fourth day, a man in his mid-twenties found the ferry rental agency. After asking Yang Aotian how many ferries they had, the man dropped a large bag of money and rented all the boats.  ¡°The people who were able to disembark so many boats within this time period didn¡¯t need to guess to know that they were Ma Huaji¡¯s people.  Yang Aotian and the others gathered the ferry boat at the designated place, and sure enough they met the Chenzhou army.  Since Yang Aotian held back half of the ferry, Ma Huaji and his men had to score five times to cross the river.  Five times this speed is not too slow.  Ma Huaji's brother-in-law Liu Gensheng agreed.  I don't know why Ma Huaji is not in the army. If he were, Yang Aotian might have killed him with one sword.  ¡°As everyone knows, the reason why Ma Huaji was absent was because he was lustful and took several personal guards to a nearby village to harm the girls in those villages.  His lustful attitude actually saved his life.  Liu Gensheng began to direct the crossing of the river. 50,000 horses crossed the river twice and 20,000 horses were sent to the other side of the river.  After the second ferry arrived on the other side of the river, it never came back. The soldiers waiting by the river still didn't understand what was going on.  Liu Gensheng on this side of the river got impatient and yelled: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the boat over to take the uncle across the river. It's delaying the uncle's important matter" Liu Gensheng will never say anything else.  It is unbelievable that tens of thousands of horses came running across the river, and before the 20,000 horses across the river could react, the two sides had already exchanged hands.  Those 20,000 troops were caught in a surprise attack, and there was no general to command them, so they fell into chaos as soon as they fought.  Liu Gensheng on the other side of the river was very anxious and immediately realized that he had been fooled.  But in front of him was a wide and fast river, and now he could only watch the battle on the other side.  At first, what Liu Gensheng saw was people in military uniforms on both sides entangled together. Gradually, Liu Gensheng felt something was wrong. Why was the military uniform on his side almost invisible?  In the end, just one personHowever, he only heard cheers from the opposite bank.
