Duoduo led the army to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River, on the shore of the horse, looked at the south bank, thinking about Liang Jun's reaction on the other side, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Prince! All the slaves have crossed the river. Have you destroyed the floating bridge?" asked Boluo, covered in blood.

The Yellow River is wide and in many places, the water flows rapidly, making it difficult to build a floating bridge.

Previously, there were only four floating bridges on the Yellow River, Pujin Bridge, Dayang Bridge, Mengjin Bridge and Zhenyuan Bridge.

Now, except for the Zhenyuan Bridge in Lanzhou, the other three have been destroyed before.

This time, Duoduo drove away the people and transported the iron ingots seized from the Yanshi Iron Factory to fix the iron locks. He built the Mengjin Bridge again, which took great effort.

Duoduo shook his head, "It's a pity that it's ruined! Keep this bridge, and I will be able to attack Luoyang again in the future."

Although this attack on Liang State was captured a lot and had a lot of results, he failed to capture Luoyang and did not do his best, which made Duoduo feel unwilling to accept it.

At that moment, Duodor ordered Suksaha to stay on the north bank, build a bridgehead fortress, monitor the Liang army on the south bank, and lead his troops eastward.

On the south bank of the floating bridge, the Liang soldiers had collected the bodies of tens of thousands of people and buried them in a concentrated manner.

The river beach was cleaned at this time, but the black and red soil was still shocking.

Sun Kewang, Gao Jie and others stood on the south bank of the pontoon bridge, looking at the north bank with fire.

Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "Supervisor, Jiannu has retreated to the north shore. What should we do now?"

Although Sun Chuanting wanted to kill him and seek revenge on the Qing army, he knew it was unrealistic.

"Report to the king first and wait for the king's decision!" Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice.

Gao Jie exhaled a breath of turbid air, "What should I do with this floating bridge?"

Sun Chuanting's eyes were firm, "Stay there, within three years, this governor will definitely lead his army to cross the river, recover the rivers and mountains, and seek revenge from Jiannu!"

Huaian Prefecture, Yancheng County, regretted Lin State-owned Salt Field.

Jin Shenghuan and other prisoners were undergoing renovation in the salt field.

Early in the morning, when dawn was dawn, the salt field sounded the trumpet of getting up. The labor prisoners in various barracks quickly got up from the bed. In a very short time, they finished quilts and beds, put on their uniforms, washed clean, and gathered outside the camp.

Jin Shenghuan stood in the crowd and found that the guards in the labor camp had increased significantly. He couldn't help but wonder if there was any big shot to come to inspect.

At this time, the prisoners began to run around the playground and make neat slogans in their mouths.

These surrendered generals and prisoners from Zuozhen, Zheng family, Beiming, Green Camp, and Eight Banners soldiers. No matter how powerful or high the status was before, they were all cursed to lose their temper shortly after they arrived here.

After the morning jog, after having some simple breakfast, everyone started working in the salt field, carrying bags of salt from the warehouse and loading the salt transport ship parked on the salt river.

At noon, outside the state-owned salt field, a team of cavalry surrounded Gao Huan and galloped over.

"The king is here." The senior manager of the salt field exclaimed and hurried forward to greet him.

"My dear Li Hu welcomes the king!" Chen Hu, son of Chen Debiao, the boss of the labor reform department, led many subordinates to bow in a hurry.

Gao Huan turned over and got off the horse, smiled with a horse whip, "Chen Hu, I know you, the son of Chen Debiao, I have taken over the Lin State-owned Salt Farm for less than a year, and the salt production has doubled."

Chen Hu hurriedly said happily when he heard the words: "The king still remembers me! I promise to increase the output by another 50% this year to generate 200,000 taels of income for the state-owned salt industry!"

Gao Huan smiled and said, "Good! You did a good job! I came here today to see your successful experience!"

Gao Huan won the Western Expedition, but in just half a year of war, the vassal state consumed a huge amount. Moreover, due to the deterioration of the external environment, the Liang State's finances fell into difficulties and the economy suffered a certain blow.

After forcing the Qing army to retreat this time, Gao Huan's short-term goals will shift to economic development, stabilize people's livelihood, and achieve the upgrading of military weapons and equipment, and establish a semi-modern army.

Now that Gao Mingheng's troops are coming to Jinan, Duoduo will most likely withdraw his troops from Luoyang.

Overall, Liang State lost a small territory, but seized the land of Wuchang.

News came from the south that Yuezhou had been captured by He Renlong, the Western Army of Changsha broke through to the west, the Liang army occupied a vast land east of the Xiangjiang River, and returned to Hengyang with the Guangdong Army led by Ding Qirui, opening up the connection with Guangdong and Guangxi on land.

Although Liang Jun won this melee, Gao Huan felt that winning was difficult.

Now, after being controlled by contemporary Lu Bu and Li Jiyu, the Lianheng alliance of Liang State collapsed and almost all enemies were enemies on all sides.

Under this circumstance, Gao Huan felt that it was difficult to fight with Liang State's current strength.

In order to respond to changes in the situation, Gao Huan appointed Song Xiance, Sun Chuanting and Gao Mingheng as the supervisors, reorganized the armies of various provinces and clarified the command system. The next step was to prepare to save money and grain and upgrade the army.

This time, Gao Huan came to regret Lin's labor reform salt farm. First, he investigated the situation of the state-owned salt farm, and second, he wanted to see the situation of labor reform, and prepared to pardon a group of people who were better transformed, recruited and served in the army.

Gao Huan's elite troops have strong combat power, but in recent years, the newly recruited hundreds of thousands of troops have very poor combat power. When facing the Qing Dynasty and the Northern Ming army, they often have to passively defend and fail to exert their strength.

After Gao Huan's research, he felt that the Liang army expanded its army too quickly, resulting in a brigade commander who commanded more than 100 soldiers. In a very short time, he became a middle-level officer who commanded more than 1,000 soldiers, or even a battalion of soldiers, and was completely incompetent.

Therefore, Gao is ready to find a group of experienced middle-level officers so that the army can exert its due strength.

At this time, Chen Hu led Gao Huan to the salt field and introduced: "I went to the salt field to reform the salt field, put forward salary incentives and political incentives to increase the enthusiasm of salt workers and prisoners."

Gao Huan nodded slightly: "What is salary incentive and what is political incentive?"

When Gao Huan heard this, he actually understood it, but he still asked and gave his subordinates a chance to show off, which was also an inspiration.

Chen Hu hurriedly said: "Salary incentives are for workers employed by the salt farm. I have formulated a reward plan that is directly linked to personal output and strictly control quality. The salt drying workers and salt boiling workers have high output, so they get more wages. They are naturally highly motivated and can produce consciously without the supervision of the foreman. The wages of the foreman are not only related to the output of the entire group of workers, but also to quality. Once there is a problem, the foreman will deduct the foreman's money. In this way, the foreman will seize the salt output while strictly controlling the quality."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, but there was no supplement for the time being. Chen Hu's reform was basically based on the ideas and spirit of Gao Huan's "Opinions on State-owned Business Reform".

Chen Hu continued: "The so-called political incentives are actually similar to salary incentives, but the incentives are prisoners, and the rewards have changed from wages to food, sentence reductions, and permission to visit relatives."

Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words, but then he said in a deep voice: "Not bad!"

While talking, everyone had already arrived at a barracks. Gao Huan picked up the curtains and walked in. He saw that the room was very clean, there was no garbage on the ground, everything was neatly placed, and the quilt was folded and it was almost caught up with Liang Jun.

Chen Hu couldn't help but smile and said, "The king is really wise. When I first arrived here, I didn't understand the meaning of these, but later I found that it was these details that gradually changed the spirit of the prisoners, made them obey orders, and changed many bad habits."

At this time, Gao Huan was taken to the salt field pier again. From a distance, he saw a large group of prisoners carrying salt bags and sweating profusely, while a minor official was recording.

"Jin Shenghuan, you did a good job and you have met the standards today. You can go and rest." At this time, the little official looked at the notebook and said with a smile.

Jin Shenghuan threw a bag of salt bags worth more than 100 kilograms onto the boat, came to the small official, stood a standard military fund, and saluted: "Leader, I can continue to work. I want to make contributions and strive to complete the transformation as soon as possible and repay the society."

Gao Huan saw this scene in the distance and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, an officer suddenly walked to Gao Huan and handed Gao Huan a military newspaper. He had a gloomy face and whispered to Gao Huan: "King, Duoduo has withdrawn his troops!"

Gao Huan glanced at the officer, took the military newspaper casually, glanced quickly, and his eyes immediately showed anger.
