In Pengcheng, Xuzhou, in the back house of the Governor's Mansion, a rather lengthy gift list was circulated and chanted among more than a dozen women. "One thousand pieces of gold beads for appreciation, hundreds of calligraphy, paintings, calligraphy and stickers About 360 boxes of thick and fine fabrics for clothing and daily necessities" "Another 100,000 pieces of silk yarn and 200,000 pieces of coarse silk are given as supplements. "Cutting resources" "Fifty boxes each of benzoin, chicken foot incense, musk, styrax, sandalwood, frankincense, powdered medicine, and ganoderma; hundreds of kilo each of sappan wood, pepper, nutmeg, and clove oil." Ninety pieces of tea beans (coffee beans), one hundred pounds each of Mengshan tea, Shishi tea, and Sulu tea. " "Four hundred rolls of gold and silver silk threads, and six sets of ivory mats and jade beds." . . . . "There are also 150,000 kilograms of copperware and 8,000 pieces of Yuezhou porcelain" "40,000 ingots of lead and 800,000 kilograms of tin together with the river boats for shipment." "This is just for the little ones. Jin Jun wants to marry someone else" "Isn't this just a trick to pay us the annual coins?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but complain loudly. It's a pity that in this time and space, no one pays attention to or knows about the jokes and jokes about the "powerful Song Dynasty" who specially paid annual coins and protection fees to enemy countries to "rich the country and strengthen the army", so it was just a moment Just for my own entertainment. "Just to maintain the status quo and normalcy The Southern Dynasty is really willing to spend money" "This is still the attitude and conditions before Youzhou's victory" Ah Zi, whose eyes were wandering, laughed softly. "I really don't know how they will react and act after they know that Youzhou has been conquered" "The south may not necessarily be giving these things with good intentions" Li Shiniang, who plays the role of counselor, is standing next to her. , he said after a little thought. "They are all utensils for wealth and luxury, and they have little help in official affairs" "This is to encourage the family's back house, and even the soldiers and civilians under the rule to compete with each other, and increasingly advocate luxury and excess" "It doesn't matter. "Yes, it doesn't matter anymore." The mysterious creature said calmly. "Eat the sugar coating and throw away the cannonballs" "Let Wan Niang let the wind out first. In a few days, we will launch an auction" "To those members of the outer vassal who have no way to curry favor and join us. , and there is a chance for the foreign merchants to show their faces. "I understand. I will go to the circle to arrange it." Cui Wanting couldn't help but agree. . "However, we must first do the work of the little prince at home" The mysterious creature added and gave some advice. "After all, this is just a cosmetic in her name. She must be honest and willing to do everything, right?" "What Madam said is true" Sakon was in agreement. "We shall do our best to comply" . . . . . . . In Youzhou City, Baiqu Garden, which was the temporary residence of the Northern Expedition's military tent, was full of guests and seemed to be coming and going. Ever since the Huai army swept through eastern Hebei and invaded the seven prefectures of Pinglu Road with an unstoppable force, all kinds of scholars and celebrities suddenly appeared from the local area, as well as some with old official backgrounds and The Yuanyuan family members began to use various channels in an endless stream to try their best to make their presence felt in front of me. Some of them, mainly the latter, under the control of worries and doubts about the future, tried their best to come to inquire and try my tone and attitude, or in other words, for the old things and existence in their places, Huai Town One-step solutions and long-term policy strategies. By considering and considering this as a standard, you can make corresponding compromises and adaptations. However, more of them have a certain old-fashioned literati complex of "exclusively selling famous people with their skills" and "displaying dragon-slaying skills", and a heavy speculative mentality of following the crowd; I hope that through my performance and remarks, I can get a Opportunities and promises that can make people prosper, or immediately lead them to success, success, and fame. Therefore, there are many high-sounding principles, even political treatises advising and advising on politics, and even all kinds of strange ideas and weird and unusual ideas. They were piled up like snowflakes in the temporary entrance hall I set up. . After all, although Pingludao was able to live in a corner of the troubled times before this, it was actually dominated by warriors and vassal towns, and the generals and generals controlled the territory.?The pattern of emphasis on power and fame; Therefore, let alone the so-called seeds of reading and the stream of scholars who have survived in the social atmosphere of military-first and military-oriented society in the past dynasties; even those officials in Pinglu who have been able to rise to the top are the same They are inferior appendages, even pawns and slaves who are called around; and in the local area, only those who have soldiers under their command can receive sufficient respect and attention, and thus obtain corresponding status and rights. Therefore, it is completely understandable that at this time when the mountains and rivers are changing colors, some people want to opportunistically cling to the new ruler, and seek innovation and change for themselves and their family and sect's origins. As for the result of these scholars wanting to take refuge with me? Sorry, just choose a few representative interviews and verbal comforts. As for obtaining official positions and positions, that's a daydream; After all, under the Huaizhen system that is gradually moving towards the future of primary industrialization, what I need is not One or a few, or a small group of so-called talented geniuses or virtuous and powerful people, come to play high-level elite politics or the personal heroism of success or failure in one moment. ; Rather, it is a large group or even an entire social class of professionals that can be mass-produced and trained, such as high- and low-level technical school students and engineering dogs, to promote and drive the entire social environment and productivity system on my preset track. Fly forward. Therefore, in fact, except for a few old and qualified people who are unable to do practical work, they can be well-educated and write history with the title of honorary academic administration, consultant, and counselor, and serve as the mascot of a symbolic courtesy corporal. ; No matter where you are from, what fame and popularity you have, write to me and start reading and studying again; First, I will use the teaching materials provided by Huai Town to adjust (brainwash) and run in (hypnotize), so that I can really After adapting to Huai Town's philosophy and governance model, consider opportunities for outsourcing and appointment. After all, maintaining the ability to self-clean and correct deviations at all times is the key to the continuous progress of an organization. As for the reputation of being mean and unkind? Afraid that no one will take refuge? joke! There is never a shortage of people who want to be officials in this world. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, killed many people indiscriminately, he needed to prepare coffins before going to court; There are few scholars who do not take the imperial examination. If you rashly grant titles and favors to these people just because of their empty talk, that is just empty talk and pragmatism that encourages lofty ideals, and will seriously damage your own culture and people's hearts of hard work and hard work, which belongs to you. A stupid move that destroys the foundation; but a capital that can ignore their reactionary and countercurrent capital that is obviously out of date and the residual influence of the old era, and transform it and or crush the dust of the city's history. The key is to mass-produce enough grassroots officials and civil servants to ensure and implement top-down execution and mobilization efficiency. If this can be achieved, the new ruling order and political power system will have the ability to replenish blood and create blood, and can be consolidated and continued. However, just when I was getting tired of these contributors, new changes and opportunities came to me again. "The situation north of Yanshan has changed?" I was surprised on the spot and looked at the messenger sent back by Zhang Xian who had arrived in the area behind the mountain. It turned out that after the advance strike force pursued to the south of Yanshan, they found the remnants of the Pinglu Army that had stopped and raised the white flag to surrender. Judging from their numbers and flags, they were several belated reinforcements from behind the mountain. It was only because of some problems during the assembly process, coupled with difficulties in raising supplies and various delays due to lack of preparation on the road, that we set off a few days late, but we did not expect that the entire city of Youzhou would be captured by the Huai Army; Therefore, in the face of the incoming Huai army forwards, they were caught off guard and panicked. The hussars who came forward were almost defeated as soon as they met, and they were defeated by the outnumbered people; What the captured troops said also brought me important news or an unexpected change. However, it was the army under Zhang Bangchang of Hebei Province who, on the pretext of pursuing the retreating Pinglu Army, sent General Qin Ming, nicknamed "Thunderbolt Fire", to lead tens of thousands of troops along the important border towns in the north and break through Yanmen Pass - the front line of the Datong Army. To suppress defenses and fortresses, they moved eastward and invaded the seven states behind the mountain north of Yanshan; therefore, since the news came out, at least Yun, Shuo, and the four states behind the mountain have fallen into the flames of war one after another; so These Pinglu troops came from other areas behind the mountains. It can be said that their back road was cut off and they were homeless. There was a stalemate over whether to continue to rescue Youzhou or go back to resist the Hebei army. In the end, a mutiny broke out on the spot and internal strife broke out, killing and wounding many generals. The broken troops even burned, killed and looted the place; As a result, when the Huai army reached Huairong County, the capital of Guizhou (now Baodai Town, southwest of Zhuolu County, Hebei Province), a frontal cavalry assault followed by volleys of fire and artillery bombarded those who were fighting among themselves. The Pinglu army was beaten to a pulp, and the remaining thousands of people in the city who had no time to escape had no intention of fighting and surrendered on the spot. Therefore, the vanguard of the Huai Army now has occupied Guizhou (now Huailai, Hebei) and Ruzhou (now Yanqing, Beijing) behind the mountains, as well as the Taihang-Yanshan key points in Jundujing and Shimenguan, and more is waiting for them. The follow-up troops followed up and rushed to the rescue;
