In fact, Li Yan decided to establish this inner guard after studying the history of the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
The early Tang Dynasty and the Middle Tang Dynasty were normal dynasties at their peak, so the history of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty can be described as outrageous.
Various types of coups emerge in endlessly, and powerful officials, ministers, and kings emerge in endlessly.
As for the coup in this era, the best way is to eliminate the body physically.
In this era, the warlords in the feudal towns, the princes waiting to ascend to the throne, and even the eunuchs in the palace were keen on raising dead soldiers and engaging in assassination activities.
The profession of [Internal Guard] was established to protect Li Yan's safety.
This time while inspecting the territory, Li Yan decided to recruit some internal guards.
The reforms implemented by Li Yan in Longyou also offended many people. It would be terrible if a stupid young man came out to assassinate him.
Players have become interested in this new profession, and many players have applied to participate in protection missions.
Li Yan issued tasks to them all. These players will investigate along the way, look for possible threats, and protect Li Yan from reaching Gaochang City safely.
Nowadays, in Longyou, there are relatively few open and covert arrows. If we enter the Central Plains in the future, assassinations and ambushes will definitely be inevitable.
Li Yan could still recall that when he had just traveled through time, when he was attacked by Uighur elites disguised as bandits, it was only a matter of time before he formed an internal guard. After all, there was no shortage of enemies in this era.
Looking at the map again and looking at the Mobei Uighur area, Li Yan smiled. Now the Uighur's Gel Khan is leading an army to hide and seek with the players on the grassland.
Summer is coming soon, and if Gel Khan still cannot win a victory, the morale of the Uighur army will definitely be weakened.
That’s when Longyou can make a big difference!
But before that, Li Yan still needs to inspect his territory to lay a solid foundation for future operations.
The next day, in Shazhou City.
In a wine shop run by a player, Cui Tao was entertaining his former colleagues.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Cui Tao is now in charge of Gaochang, and there are many players who want to curry favor with him.
Cui Tao is also uniting these players to form his own force.
Those who came to the banquet today are all players who have chosen the [official] profession. Most of them serve in the governor's office and are also the backbone of the players' union "Gongkao House".
After several rounds of drinking, these players who served in the Shazhou Governor's Office couldn't help but complain again.
"These [Lord] players are really short-sighted. They started setting up textile workshops all at once some time ago, which caused the price of wool in Shazhou to skyrocket. In the end, no one made any money from the wool workshop that they worked so hard on."
The player who spoke is named Zhang Quan. In the real world, he is a student majoring in economics and industry. His major is industrial structure analysis.
He was originally an official of Hucao in Shazhou Prefecture.
Last month, Zhang Quan spent half a month researching in Shazhou, and finally wrote a eloquent paper on industrial development. He wrote to King Jianning to request the establishment of a department called the Economic and Industrial Bureau in Bafu to be responsible for coordinating industries and reducing blind duplication.
invest.
This suggestion was adopted by King Jianning, and Zhang Quan also served as Bafu to join the army and judge the economic and industrial affairs.
It's just that his Economic and Industrial Bureau has been resisted by [Lord] players.
The [Lord] player also has something to say, I want to play a farming game, what industry do I want to develop and do I need your guidance?
Can you, Zhang Quan, give me some guidance?
The price of sheep fell recently, but the demand for woolen sweaters in the Western Regions has increased, and many village chiefs have built plush textile factories in their territories.
Zhang Quan has warned several times about the bubble risk of the wool industry, but these [Lord] players still kept opening factories, which eventually caused the price of wool to collapse, and many villages suffered heavy losses.
Zhang Quan was naturally very depressed. He finally created a new department, but it was useless.
His lofty ambition to do something big was dampened, Zhang Quan said dejectedly:
"If you ask me, [Lord] players should be at ease. As long as they manage their own one-third of an acre of land and develop well, players like us [official] professionals have to go to work and sit in the Yamen every day, and have to complete many tasks."
The work of the eucalyptus is almost the same as playing a game."
Everyone envied and sympathized with Zhang Quan's complaints.
What I envied was that Zhang Quan's petition was accepted and he suddenly became famous.
What's sympathetic is that his Economic and Industrial Bureau has no one at all. From the perspective of [Lord] players, if I want to develop industries in my own territory, it has nothing to do with your Economic and Industrial Bureau.
Cui Tao also read Zhang Quan's complaint post on the forum. He said: "Zhang Quan, you can't rely on orders alone. Those lord players are not good."
Zhang Quan also understands this truth, but if he wants to make a difference, he naturally needs the cooperation of these lord players.
Cui Tao said: "Actually, there is no need to be so antagonistic. Your Economic and Industrial Bureau is also for Shazhou's economy. I think you can issue less orders and develop more support projects."
"Support project?"
Cui Tao nodded and said: "Yes, it is better to clear up the blockage. You can create a support fund. For those villages that need industries to build Shazhou, you can give them some interest-free loans or subsidies. For those industries that have excess, give them warnings.
, without providing loans and subsidies, wouldn’t it be possible to slowly adjust Shazhou’s industries?”
Zhang Quan immediately nodded and said: "Boss Cui's method is better! Why didn't I think of it before?"
Cui Tao smiled and said: "We, the official players, have a cooperative relationship with the lord players, not an antagonistic relationship. We just need to guide them well."
Everyone raised their glasses, and Cui Tao continued: "But Shazhou is developing really fast. I haven't been back for only a month, and there are such big changes."
It was Zhang Quan who knew the most about the development of Shazhou. He said: "Yeah, don't tell me that these lord players can really mess around. Shazhou alone has produced more than a dozen new specialties, and businessmen from the Western Regions are rushing to buy them."
"With more money, these lord players will expand roads and build houses. There are construction sites everywhere in Shazhou. With more money on the market, consumption will be more vigorous."
Looking at the prosperity of Shazhou, it is difficult to imagine the dilapidated appearance of Shazhou City.
"His Highness wants to inspect Shazhou first. I heard that all the lords and players were forced to get involved in order to allow His Highness to go and inspect."
"What's the use of this volume? His Highness's itinerary will not be announced. This time, the security will be left to the [Inner Guard] player. I heard that Bafu has established a 'Xuanjing Division'. I don't know which genius thought of this."
Broken name."
"Hahaha, Xuanjing Division, why isn't it called Dongchang?"
"If I really call Dongchang, will you join? Who is willing to bear the title of Dongchang's father-in-law?"
"You're right, but this Shazhou should be very safe, right?"
"Who knows, I heard that the Xuanjing Division is very enthusiastic about work. They all want to break a big bug and get a good start."
