The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Ever since he was entrusted with the important task of "regent" by the monarch a few months ago, Zhang Li has not had a single day of leisure.

Of course, he had never been idle when he was assisting Jin Fengluan before, but he is just busier now. However, the difference from the previous busyness is that the current busyness not only does not make him tired but makes him more energetic.

Even when he was solving various serious illnesses and difficult and complicated diseases from top to bottom, Zhang Li did not feel distressed. On the contrary, he was finally able to give full play to his talents to the fullest extent.

Things that I wanted to do but couldn't do before, policies that I wanted to implement but were always blocked by Jin Fengluan, can now be done, and they are going exceptionally smoothly.

The ministers in the court did not object to this. They all seemed to have become more talkative. This was of course related to the fact that the treacherous ministers had been eradicated, but more importantly, it was because this was a brand new, thriving dynasty, and everything was moving forward.

In Beiliang, with the incorporation of Beiku grassland, people had already moved to Beiku grassland several months ago, and animal husbandry has developed vigorously. Perhaps it is still some distance away from the goal of "everyone living and working in peace and contentment, without suffering from hunger and cold", but it is probably not far away.

As for Xijing, following the invasion and defeat of Tuyuan Kingdom, and the fall of the old dynasty and the establishment of the new one, no one in Xijing, young or old, ever mentions "divide and rule". After all, the battle in Xijing has made them see the future, and now they are particularly united, and everyone is proud to be a "Yan people". As the saying goes, one cannot know the value of sweet water without experiencing pain.

As for the East China Sea, Fuso's invasion plan was completely shattered. There was no longer a single Japanese pirate in the entire East China Sea region. Not only that, even the pirates' lair, the island nation of Fuso, was destroyed!

When Zhang Li first received the news, he was quite shocked. He did not expect that the royal army would be so swift and powerful. Less than a month after arriving in the East China Sea, they took advantage of the situation and headed for Fuso, accomplishing something that had never been done in previous dynasties.

This was really exciting. Zhang Li couldn't help but sigh that his Majesty acted like thunder and never dragged his feet. He really kept his word when he made the promise to him.

Now that His Majesty has fulfilled his promise, I, as the regent, should do my best to complete his entrustment, handle state affairs in an orderly manner, and let the people benefit.

Tonight, as usual, although it was late at night, Zhang Li was still reviewing memorials under the light.

In fact, after several months of sorting out, he has become very proficient in it and can handle almost all matters, big or small, with ease. In addition to benefiting from his many years of experience as an official, this is also related to the fact that Yan State has undergone a thorough change of blood.

In the previous dynasty, since Jin Fengluan was jealous of talented people and only cared about maintaining imperial power, almost all kinds of important official positions were held by members of the Jin family. Under the main family were the side branches, and they also "benefited" from it and got various official positions.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. How can this bureaucratic system be sound when it is corrupted from within? After overthrowing the Jin family this time, all Zhang Li has to do now is to remove the branches and vines they left behind and entrust the positions to capable people.

There are literary examinations for civil candidates and military examinations for military candidates. Through the re-selection, people with real talents will surely be discovered. Not long ago, a general named "Zhao Zheng" appeared in Zhang Li's sight.

This was a subordinate of the former great general Xiong Qian and also his deputy general. However, during the Battle of Bailiyuan, Zhao Zheng turned to the light and used a more complicated strategy to trick Xiong Qian into opening the Zhongnan Pass, allowing the royal army to enter the pass without losing a single soldier.

Zhao Zheng came here to seek a position, saying that he wanted to work in Beijing, but he was humble and said that he was a criminal and was very grateful for the generosity of His Majesty. Now he only wanted a minor position, even if it was of the eighth or ninth rank, he would be grateful.

Zhang Li thought that this was a good talent, and it would be a waste of talent to make him a minor official. However, he was not sure what to do. Finally, his daughter gave him some advice, saying that if he was demoted after serving his sentence, it would be disheartening. If he was given a higher official position, how would other officials view him? So he gave him a level official position and promised him that he would be loyal to his duties and be appointed to a higher position in the future.

After my daughter said this, it seemed more appropriate.

And this is not the first suggestion she has given.

"Dad, it's late."

Zhang Li, who was reviewing memorials, raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

It turned out that my daughter had been standing beside the table with a bowl of tea.

"It's still early." Zhang Li put down his pen with a smile, rubbed his sore wrist and smiled.

Zhang Zisheng, who was dressed elegantly, placed the tea bowl in front of Zhang Li, walked behind Zhang Li, pressed his shoulders and said, "It's getting late."

"My daughter knows that you are diligent in your work, but don't you know that human power will eventually run out? If you have to do something because of so many things, then you should do your best. But I see that you do this all the time. Overwork can lead to illness, which is not a good thing."

"It's only been a few months and your hair has turned a lot whiter."

Hearing this, Zhang Li smiled bitterly in his heart, picked up the tea bowl and said, "Zi Sheng, it's not appropriate to drink tea at night."

"It's a calming tea. You knew it but still said that on purpose." Zhang Zisheng hit Zhang Li's shoulder and said helplessly.

Zhang Li took a sip, put down the tea bowl and leaned back in his chair, suddenly sighing: "I didn't expect that in less than a year, the dynasty has changed."

"And unlike the early days of previous dynasties, the birth of our Yan Kingdom is an unprecedented prosperity."

“But beneath the grand scene, there are still dangers everywhere. There is not even a moment to breathe.” Zhang Li let out a long breath.

Zhang Zisheng's hand suddenly stopped, but she continued to rub her father's shoulders after a moment: "Dad, are you worried about the situation in Nangang?"

"Ah."

"The news sent from Nangang a few days ago said that His Majesty was going to have a big battle with the armies of various nations."

"We have just solved the problem of Fusang, but who would have thought that other countries would come again? How could this not make us worried? Why do we have so many disasters?"

Zhang Li rubbed his brows and continued:

"Since they can form a fleet and come across the ocean, their national strength must be pretty good. Even if the people live and work in peace and contentment, they shouldn't be starving, right?"

"You stay in your country and live your life, and we live ours. There is such a huge ocean between us, why should we invade each other?" He shook his head, completely unable to understand.
