Chapter 164 Things Before Winter(1/2)
"Cultural construction..."
Mr. Liu has never heard of this word.
But when you put them together, you understand what they mean.
Even if we have to compose a military song later, it seems very confusing.
"Military song...what is the military song..."
Mr. Liu looked confused,
"Military songs are, of course, songs sung by the army, and you can see them in the training ground as well.
Our military is different, so naturally we need different cultural characteristics..."
Lu Zhou was good at tempting, although he had many tricks in his mind.
But I definitely wouldn’t sing with my mouth wide open. It would be too abrupt and look out of place, like a monster.
Therefore, of course, it is better to discuss this kind of matter with a few cultural people.
Finalize a moderate plan and then promote it with human hands.
Once the promotion is done, use your own name.
"feature......"
Liu Laozhang thought for a long time and suddenly realized: "I understand, actor, we are looking for people who can tell and sing operas to reward the officers and soldiers.
City Lord, this time we established household registers and really gathered some Liyuan disciples in the city...
Even my daughter can sing a few songs."
Mr. Liu clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Singing an opera?"
Lu Zhou was silent for a while, imagining the scene of the entire army singing The Peony Pavilion as the troops marched.
After holding it in for a while, he finally said: "Singing opera... If it's about singing opera, forget it.
What I mean is to compile some concise and powerful songs that can be catchy and change one's mental outlook.
In short, a good military song can cost as much as two divisions...two cavalry.
Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Zhou said, humming a few words before returning from target practice.
"City Lord, I am deaf, old man, can you please listen to me again?"
Old Zhang Liu asked hurriedly.
Lu Zhou hummed a few more verses.
When Old Zhang Liu heard this short and brisk rhythm, his eyes lit up.
It actually feels a bit catchy.
At this time, several scholars in the city were also summoned.
There are also some half-baked children.
These people were all ordinary people and scholars who had been at the bottom for a long time. They had no official career, but they were appointed by Lu Zhou.
"City Lord, I heard that I want to set some slogans in the army..."
The first scholar named Jia asked and actually handed over a note on the spot.
It has already been written on it, many slogans similar to my master’s destiny, as well as the divine power of the Tianwu Army...
These people failed repeatedly in the scientific examinations, and when it came to writing limericks, they were really better than the others.
"Yes, we need to set up some slogans that are easy to understand.
There are also some military songs, which I told Mr. Liu just now.
From now on, some of you will also need to send some people to follow the team.
Especially the newly formed Tianyue Army..."
Lu Zhou led a group of people to discuss.
...
In half a morning, I simply finalized the prototype of a cultural troupe.
Now the Tianwu Army and Tianyue Army combined, as well as the skirmishers in the territory, must be 20,000 people.
Among the twenty thousand people, it is not difficult to select one or two hundred who are eloquent and have some artistic talent.
After these people were led by several scholars, they wrote big-character posters and banners, and carried out cultural propaganda with the army.
When there are troops going out to fight, they also follow them, and they are in the same echelon as the medical soldiers.
Du Erniang also has more than a hundred female soldiers, who can be combined into an art troupe. In this way, while everyone is producing and training, this winter will no longer be lonely.
Everyone left the city lord's mansion thoughtfully.
Things in the army came to an end, and news came back from Mingdi again.
"The caravan from Mingdi is back."
Someone came to report.
After Wang Yishui established himself in the Ming Dynasty, he finally lived up to expectations and brought back a lot of silk and some exquisite ceramics from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
Ceramics are nothing new, they are mainly used for production and research.
From the pottery sent by Luzhuang during this period, it can be seen that the pottery made by those women is becoming more and more exquisite.
Moreover, at the porcelain kiln, you only need to make a high-quality embryo shape, and you can sign in large quantities.
When the trade routes from the high latitudes to Europe are opened, these are the commodities that Lu Zhou will be able to offer, making Europeans irresistible.
Diana would never have imagined that high-yield ceramics could be produced in Siberia...
There is another aspect, which is the textile capability that is long enough to lag behind.
Lu Zhou had already told Xu Guangming the general principle of the Jenny Textile Machine.
In fact, Lu Zhou couldn't understand more at all, but these people's minds could be understood with a little thought.
After several discussions, Xu Guangming drew pictures for several nights and figured it out by himself.
While marveling at it, he only thought it was Lu Zhou's contribution... Master Lu was inscrutable...
"My lord, there are also Anhua black tea, cloth, and many daily utensils in here.
Bedding, pillow...
It’s enough for the City Lord’s Mansion to be used this winter.”
The spies brought back more than twenty cartloads of supplies, most of which were in short supply shipped back from the Central Plains for Lu Zhou's enjoyment.
In fact, Lu Zhou could hardly use these things. He already had enough things that he could enjoy at any time.
But it can be rewarded to those who are loyal below.
"Lord, here is a letter sent by Sun Chuanting."
"Another letter..."
Lu Zhou held his forehead. During this period of time, Sun Chuanting had too many contacts with him.
As mentioned last time, Sun Chuanting successfully completed this mission beyond the Great Wall.
He has taken up his post as Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture and is in the fourth rank.
It can be seen that in the late Ming Dynasty, officials experienced great ups and downs.
"My lord, according to the information we have heard, Sun Chuanting is afraid that he will take the position of Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture again this time.
I don’t know where exactly it will be transferred..."
"So unstable."
Lu Zhou couldn't help but frown, and while reading the content of the letter, it turned out to be true.
Sun Chuanting was about to be transferred to Shaanxi as governor to suppress bandits. This time he came to say goodbye, but he also came to ask Lu Zhou for help.
Sun Chuanting is about to be transferred...
"Gan! This old emperor, are you kidding me?"
After Lu Zhou read the letter, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
Sun Chuanting was obviously the one sent for peace talks. Originally, Lu Zhou thought that Emperor Chongzhen would keep him in Shuntian Mansion to correspond with him.
He is Lu Zhou's partner.
After all, Sun Chuanting is the only Mingguan who is familiar with Tianwu City, and his temperament matches his own.
But the replacement of diplomatic officials at this time often loses a bit of flavor.
To be continued...
