Of course, the ban on red bricks will be lifted.
It doesn't mean that everyone can afford it.
However, there are still quite a few people who benefit from it.
It also increased the imperial court's commercial taxes significantly.
In less than two months,
Rows of beautiful red brick buildings were then erected.
The newly built red brick building is much more beautiful than the old blue brick houses of the wealthy families.
This prompted many wealthy households to demolish their brick houses as well.
Renovate the red brick building.
The colors in the border town have also become much brighter.
Previously, apart from the red walls and green tiles of the imperial palace and the red-lacquered gates of a few powerful figures, all the buildings were gray and drab.
The entire city felt very oppressive.
Of course, this applies to modern people.
In ancient times, people mostly saw earthen houses.
Occasionally, I would be pleasantly surprised to see a house made of blue bricks.
Of course, the red brick buildings cannot compare to the red-painted walls of the imperial palace.
The walls of the palace were painted with the finest red paint.
It is bright red, while the red bricks are somewhat dark red.
When the house is built,
When Zhao Yuan sold each courtyard to the Liangshan veterans for one hundred strings of cash,
Only then did the people in the city realize who these houses were built for.
The second year of the Tianqi reign
A small mud house in Bianjing could sell for 100 strings of cash.
The price is higher now.
After the people in the city learned of the price that King Liang had set for the veterans of Liangshan,
Find the Liangshan veteran immediately.
They are willing to buy from them at a higher price.
Therefore, all the courtyards built by the Ministry of Works were bought by the veterans of Liangshan.
Chapter 1571 Settling Down
However, aside from a very small number of people who felt that the buildings constructed on top of temples were unlucky and wanted to resell them,
Most people settled down in Bianjing.
Even the lowest-ranking veteran from Liangshan is now a captain.
Those above the rank of captain don't need to worry about forced retirement.
The monthly salary was ten strings of cash.
That's enough to settle down in Bianjing.
Moreover, they participated in the most battles.
The various rewards amounted to several hundred strings of cash.
They were all well-off families in the capital.
.....
April of the third year of the Tianqi reign
The Jin Dynasty sent envoys.
They protested against the frequent harassment of Jin Dynasty cities by the Wugu and Dilie tribes of the Shangjing Road in Daliang.
Please have the main beam control all parts.
When the two countries demarcated their border,
In order to resolve the issues concerning Yelü Yanxi and the subsequent Mongol problems, Zhao Yuan...
They then incorporated the various departments of Shangjing Road into the territory of Daliang.
However, a heavy snowfall, coupled with problems in transporting supplies, led to this situation.
Zhao Yuan was ordered to temporarily withdraw his troops.
Shangjing Road was not truly ruled by the Great Liang.
The Jin state was also aware of this situation.
Therefore, the issue of compensation was not raised.
Wanyan Aguda's intention was simply to get the Liang army to send troops to deal with Yelü Yanxi of Shangjing Road.
Help them resolve border troubles,
At the same time, it depletes the national strength of the Great Liang.
However, it wasn't just the Jin state that was being harassed by the various tribes of Shangjing Road.
The second year of the Tianqi reign
The route to Shangjing was hit by a snow disaster.
The various units are struggling to survive the winter.
While invading the Jin state
They also invaded the three routes of Daliang, Ningxia, Hedong, and Hebei.
Although none of the cities have fallen,
However, many people outside the city suffered misfortune.
Therefore, the Great Liang had long been preparing to attack the Liao Kingdom's Shangjing Road.
The day after the Jin envoy arrived in the capital,
Daliang then used the Liao Dynasty's invasion of Hedong, Hebei, and Ningxia Road as a pretext...
They dispatched 50,000 troops to attack the Liao Kingdom's Shangjing Road.
April 10th,
Zhao Yuan led five hundred personal guards on the expedition.
They will meet in Heishan Prefecture, where Hua Rong and Yang Zhi's troops will be joined.
Together with 30,000 Tangut vassal troops, they swept away all the tribes in Shangjing Road.
Heishan Prefecture was a newly established prefecture in Daliang.
It is bordered by the Black Mountain to the north.
Located in the Hetao Plain,
The land is fertile.
More than 20,000 people from Daliang were relocated to Heishan Prefecture.
In the second year of the Tianqi reign, more than 5,000 hectares of land were reclaimed.
Because it is the northernmost city on Ningxia Road,
Hua Rong led 10,000 cavalry to garrison Heishan Prefecture to defend against grassland tribes.
Although only 50,000 people went on this expedition,
However, it was a gathering of the elite troops and generals of Ningxia Road.
The three generals of the Western Army, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Yao Pingzhong, were all incorporated into Hua Rong's troops.
Because of the reform of the military system of the Great Liang Dynasty,
The Western Army has disappeared.
Even young men from all over Shaanxi who joined the army underwent unified training in Tokyo.
Then the Ministry of War would decide which prefecture to send the soldiers to.
It is not necessarily true that they will return to Shaanxi.
Naturally, there was no Western Army.
The Western Army disappeared.
Excluding generals like Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shizhong, and Liu Zhongwu who came from the Western Army...
Among the Western Army, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Yao Pingzhong were the most promising.
Therefore, the generals who came from the Western Army referred to the three as the Three Generals of the Western Army in remembrance of the Western Army.
Apart from Li Kui, who was not skilled in mounted combat, Zhao Yuan left behind his troops.
Sun An, Shi Bao, and Fang Jie will all accompany Zhao Yuan north.
In addition, a formidable general was transferred from Hedong Road and Hebei Road respectively.
Listen at the tent.
One of them was Yue Fei, the chief general under Zhang Qing.
One of them was Yang Zaixing, a fierce general under Liu Tang.
Yue Fei distinguished himself and was promoted to colonel during the conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty.
He also made contributions in the subsequent conquest of Lü Shinang and the Yue Li Dynasty.
However, it's not enough to be promoted to general.
Yang Zaixing was a new recruit.
Lin Chong led his troops to wipe out Wang Qing.
After Liu Tang was promoted to general,
Commanding 10,000 new troops
Yang Zaixing then joined Liu Tang's forces.
When attacking the Liao Kingdom,
Because Liu Tang's troops were arrayed to meet the enemy.
Yang Zaixing also had no chance to make a contribution.
However, after Liu Tang's troops were stationed in Hedong...
The Zubu tribe of Shangjing Road marched south to harass the area.
Yang Zaixing seized the opportunity.
In one battle, he killed more than twenty enemy soldiers with his gun.
He was promoted to colonel in recognition of his merits.
His bravery shook the east bank of the river.
Zhao Yuan was naturally familiar with Yang Zaixing.
Upon seeing the Ministry of War document, he memorized Yang Zaixing's name.
Five hundred personal guards, each with three horses.
They marched nearly 2,500 li in half a month.
Arrived in Montenegro.
