The official road outside Luoyang City was once again overcrowded.
Compared with the last time when Zhao Shan defeated Jin's army and forced Jin's Wan Yanming to pay a high compensation and greatly boosted Daqian's reputation, this time it was even stronger.
Zhao Shan only left Luoyang with 3,000 Xuanjia troops, and together with the Chencang garrison under Qin Zhong, they completely destroyed Yao Guang and Yao Qian, annexed Xiliang, and enabled Daqian to expand its territory in the true sense.
Taking back Jingzhou, Jizhou and other places is to regain lost territory and restore the power of Daqian.
Nowadays, we are opening up new territories. This is something that has never happened in more than two hundred years. It is something that has never happened since the founding of Daqian by Taizu and Taizong.
Just like that, countless people came to watch.
As a result, on the road more than ten miles outside the west city of Luoyang, the official roads along the way were filled with people watching in twos and threes.
The people were talking and their support for Zhao Shan increased to a higher level.
All the people thought that Zhao Shan was a holy king.
Zhao Shan led the Xuanjia Army into Luoyang and returned in triumph on horseback. He was still more than ten miles away from Luoyang and had already met countless people. Zhao Shan observed the people and noticed the confidence and joy in their brows.
People's hearts are united, people have faith, and have self-confidence in their bones. This is the atmosphere of a great country!
If the country is strong and strong, then the overall appearance of the people will become confident and calm, there will be less possibility of spies appearing, and a large number of Confucian scholars will not be attracted to the surrounding countries and think that the moon in foreign countries is round.
When the country is weak and any dog rushes up and can gnaw at you, even if it bites off a piece of your flesh, a large number of Confucian scholars will lose confidence, deny their own history, deny everything about themselves, and feel that the moon outside is full and the air is full. Okay, let’s reflect on everything at every turn.
Zhao Shan wants to cure this kind of thing.
Expanding territory is the simplest and most intuitive way, letting the people of the world know that Daqian can fight tough battles and is not afraid of provocations from any country.
Zhao Shan waved as he walked forward.
"Long live your Majesty!"
Suddenly there were shouts from the surrounding crowd.
When the first cry came out, it was followed by countless people shouting at the top of their lungs. Along the way, people were excited, cheered, shouted, and waved.
For a time, the voice of His Majesty, "Long Live His Majesty" echoed around and resounded in the sky above Luoyang.
Zhao Shan also waved to the people, and at the same time looked at Yao Xiao who was following him, and asked with a smile: "Yao Xiao, how do you feel when you see the people who are doing my job?"
Yao Xiao couldn't help but swallowed when he saw the enthusiastic scene of the people.
The public sentiment in Daqian is too strong.
When Yao Guang was the emperor, because he indulged in pleasure, he even collected various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes for the sake of money, constantly squeezing the people and making their lives difficult.
If Yao Guang appears in public and does not clear the place in advance, he may be assassinated.
Only Zhao Shan is different.
All the people supported Zhao Shan.
Yao Xiao had no doubt in his heart that as long as Zhao Shan gave an order, these excited people would transform into wolves and charge into battle for Zhao Shan.
This is what people want.
After Yao Xiao came back to his senses, he said: "Your Majesty is supported by all the people, and he can be called an eternal sage. Having your Majesty come to govern Liangzhou is a blessing to the people of Liangzhou. This time, I brought Liangzhou to surrender and became a member of Daqian. My lord, you are so lucky."
Zhao Shan looked at Yao Xiao and asked, "Do you really think so?"
"Nothing false!"
Yao Xiao answered without hesitation.
In order to please Zhao Shan, Yao Xiao further said: "I am not good at anything else, but I am good at dancing the dance of the Liangzhou Qiang people. When I arrive in Luoyang and your Majesty holds a banquet to celebrate your achievements, I am willing to dance for your Majesty." "
Zhao Shan praised: "I am very relieved that you have this idea. I appreciate you as a person who understands current affairs."
He continued walking back with the people.
People were waving and cheering all the way. When Zhao Shan returned to the west of Luoyang City, Zhuge Shang, Fang Weihu and other civil and military ministers had been waiting for a long time.
Zhuge Shang and Fang Weihu both came forward and saluted Zhao Shan at the same time.
Zhuge Shang took the lead and said: "My lord, Zhuge Shang, congratulates your majesty on your triumphant return."
Fang Weihu followed closely and said: "My lord, Fang Weihu, congratulates your majesty on seizing Xiliang and expanding the territory."
"I congratulate Your Majesty!"
All civil and military officials shouted in unison, soaring into the sky in unison, and countless officials were excited.
As Zhao Shan conquered east and west, Daqian's national power became stronger and stronger, his territory became wider and wider, and more money was obtained. The government's finances were in good shape, and local people's lives were good. Daqian officials became more and more promising. .
Zhao Shan looked at the civil and military officials who were welcoming him, and ordered: "All the ministers, please be free!"
Zhuge Shang stood up and said: "When Your Majesty left, the summer was thick and still very hot. Now it is already the golden month of October, and the weather is gradually getting colder. Relying on Your Majesty's wisdom, the results of the autumn harvests in various places in Daqian have been calculated. This year's Spring Festival Under Qian's rule, all states achieved good harvests."
"good!"
Zhao Shan couldn't help but be happy.
With further good harvests in various places, the lives of ordinary people will be better.
If the people live a good life, it will be better if they work hard.
If the people's life is difficult, even if the country becomes stronger and stronger, it will not be able to survive in the end, because the root of national strength is the people.
The rapid recovery of Daqian today is also related to the reason why Zhao Shan reorganized Daqian.
The Daqian that Zhao Shan took over was completely chaotic, fought in various places, and the local area was poor and the population was scarce. Due to years of war and political chaos, Daqian's population has declined, and countless lands have been barren, leaving Daqian without much burden.
When Dagan rose again, the local area quickly regained stability, and people's lives became easier.
The fundamental reason is sufficient resources.
With abundant land and a relatively small population, the local area can quickly recover from chaos and see results quickly.
After Zhao Shan's thoughts changed, he did not talk in detail. After waving to the people around him, he led the civil and military officials and troops into the city.
The Xuanjia Army was led by Zhou Huhou to station.
Yao Xiao was placed in the city.
Zhao Shan returned to the imperial palace with the civil and military officials, met with them in person, and briefly understood the current government affairs situation. Because of the long journey, there were relatively few handling of specific government affairs, and all the officials tacitly agreed not to report anything.
Zhao Shan left the palace after handling the government affairs and headed towards Cao Mengchan's bedroom in the harem.
As soon as Zhao Shan entered, he met Cao Mengchan who was working as a female celebrity and making a baby's Baijia Yi. The clothes she was wearing were also very loose, and she seemed to be pregnant.
Zhao Shan saw this and asked with a smile: "Chan'er, what are you doing?"
When Cao Mengchan saw Zhao Shan coming back, she quickly stood up and saluted, and said excitedly: "One month after His Majesty left, I found out that I was pregnant again. Now I have been pregnant for less than three months, and I haven't shown my pregnancy yet. I have nothing to do, and it's just the right time for the child." Make Baijiayi.”
At this point, Cao Mengchan continued: "In addition to my concubine being pregnant, sister Wanyanzhi is also pregnant."
Zhao Shan was overjoyed.
The last time we returned to Luoyang was not long, but we had worked hard. It is normal for both Cao Mengchan and Wan Yanzhi to be pregnant now. It won't be long before we have two more children on our knees.
