It's just that when other officials recommend talents, they are still a little secretive, unlike Shen Ao, who is just upright. Shen Ao is now controlled by both Guochanglong and Daqian Bank, and his status has already surpassed that of the Ministry of Finance. The position of chief. Didn’t you see that even Rui Butong, the Minister of Household Affairs, would come to Shen Ao for discussion instead of giving orders?
Even if a minister is like this, no one in the Jin Ministry dares to resist Shen Ao's decision. The examples of Jiang Dai and Yang Xun are right in front of you, can you not see it if you are blind?
If you don't want to end up like them, just be honest and obedient. In this way, when Shen Ao recommends three students, no one will stop him or dare to stop him.
I'm afraid that even Shen Ao himself doesn't know that someone in the court has already given Shen Ao the nickname Crazy Shen, saying that he is like a mad cow. It is true that he can work and make money, but he can also really cause trouble. .
If anyone wants to confront him, no matter what your status is, he will show his sharp teeth and fight with you. He will not sell even the prince's face. With this understanding, who will take the initiative? Are you looking for trouble for Shen Ao, because you think your life is too good and you want to seek excitement?
The "evil" reputation was out there, and no matter whether others didn't dare to provoke him or didn't want to provoke him, Ning Feng and others borrowed the money anyway. Whenever they had something to do, they would go to Daqian Qianzhuang to help the teacher with what they could, but unfortunately there was no one. Dare to say something.
Daqian Bank was bustling with activity. The registration and account entry windows were especially busy. Although it had been explained to the people that only a thousand houses had been built, it was impossible to allocate houses according to head, especially when the imperial court was leaving. After the conscription order was issued, it was said that soldiers would be given priority, and it was even more difficult for ordinary people to be allocated housing in a short period of time. However, the people who queued up would still register carefully, and then put down the money they had accumulated for a long time and take a large amount of money. Leave satisfied with the receipt.
Knowing that they will not have a house of their own in a short time, but still leaving their money and leaving, this is not because people have too much money and no place to put it, but it proves their desire for houses and their recognition of Daqian Bank.
Didn't we all say that the newly built houses will be given priority to the newly recruited troops, and five thousand people will be recruited, that is, five thousand houses. In other words, only half of the houses can be sold to the people, so now it is not possible If the money is paid in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to own one of the five thousand houses.
Based on the idea that paying money early can get a house early, the people took out the money they had worked hard to save for many years. As for what to do if they ran out of money? It was clearly written on the Dagan Bank and the notice, and then the building was built. Housing, road construction, textiles, etc. all require manpower.
Especially for textiles, women can do the work at home. They only need to complete the work and hand it over to Daqian Bank. In this way, not only can they make money and subsidize the family, but they do not need to go out to show themselves. For the people, it is really a good thing. Nothing better.
People are also human beings, and they also want to enjoy themselves, not because they are afraid of spending money. It’s just because they don’t have money. Now that there are ways to make money, of course they have to buy everything they want.
The enthusiasm of the people soon spread to the palace. In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Qianwen was listening to Cheng Bolin, the Minister of the Ministry of War, vividly reporting in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I'm so happy. It took only a day and a half for all five thousand elite soldiers to be recruited. This is because we were not fully prepared and the recruitment points are limited. If we can get more recruitment points, the time will be shortened. . What’s more important is that the people who applied this time are all in good condition. They are young and in good health. They only need a period of basic training to become qualified elites."
Looking at Cheng Bailin's beaming expression, as if he looked ten years younger, Emperor Qianwen also laughed loudly, "Okay, okay."
Seeing that the emperor was happy, Cheng Bolin seized the opportunity and continued: "Your Majesty, I believe that now is the time to strike while the iron is hot. We should continue to recruit troops. To be honest, not only are many of the soldiers in the Silver Armor Guards already very old, There are many such people even in the frontier army who cannot adapt to high-intensity training. In the past, there were not enough soldiers, and young men were unwilling to join the army. Now that enthusiasm is high, they should take the opportunity to expand their results. There is also a Thousands of houses are too few, and more should be built."
Listening to Cheng Bolin's request, Emperor Qianwen nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is absolutely true. I will go to Duke Zhong to discuss this matter. As for the conscription, I don't think it should be too radical. Let’s digest the results in front of us first before talking about it.”
As the emperor of a country, Emperor Qianwen's height meant that he looked at problems from a different perspective than his ministers. For example, right now, the Ministry of War is happy because of the high quality of its soldiers, but what will other vassal kings and neighbors think? Woolen cloth?
Will they think this is a precursor to preparations for war?
Will this arouse their nervousness and make them take some provocative actions?
To be honest, after more than ten years of development, Da Gan has saved some money and can support one or two big battles, but that's all. In the end, the foundation is still not strong enough, and once the battle is lost, , I'm afraid that if I go too far, I will fall into the storm, which is extremely dangerous.
Since it has been tolerated for more than ten years, it is certainly not less than the past few years. Now is naturally not a good time to expand conscription and stimulate other forces.
Stable development and accumulation of strength are what Emperor Qianwen wants to do most at the moment. Especially after having Shen Ao, both the previous Guochanglong and the current Daqian Bank can bring a lot of benefits to the dynasty. He had more confidence in his heart.
"Well, it's time to allocate more land and build more houses." After seeing the great situation in front of him, Emperor Qianwen made a decision in his heart.
...
Prince Zhong’s Mansion in Liaozhou.
Tang Qingchuan, who has a Chinese character face and is wearing a long gown, is tending a small vegetable garden in the yard.
With a straw hat on his head and the way he squatted down to weed seriously, there was no way he could be associated with the loyal king who commanded 20,000 troops. But this man was the king of Liao and Jizhou, in charge of the military and In government affairs, he deserves to be the king of the two states.
A young man who looks like a scholar is standing a few steps away. He has been burning incense for a while but has not moved. He is like a pillar. It seems that if King Zhong does not get up, he will never move. , will only stand here forever.
Finally, Prince Zhong, who had pulled out the last weed, slowly stood up. First, he moved his numb legs, then turned around and said something as if he had just seen the young man. , "Xiu Zhe is here."
"I have met the king." The young man saluted again, showing great respect.
Xiu Zhe has sincere respect for King Zhong. He will never forget that when he fainted from hunger on the street and was about to die because he was so weak, it was King Zhong who appeared and gave him a bite to eat so that he could survive until now.
He also married a wife, gave birth to a son, and had good food and clothing. Everything he had now was given by the loyal king.
"Well, I read the two letters on the table when I came here. What do you think? Tell me." Prince Zhong seemed to be used to Xiu Zhe's respect for him. In fact, he didn't do anything like saving people.
He knows how much he has done, and the idea is to cast a wide net. This is no longer a single act of kindness, but he knows that the people he saves in this way will be more loyal to him and can be entrusted with more important tasks, without worrying about these people.
will betray him.
It's just that they have done a lot of "good deeds", but in the end few of them have real talents and knowledge that can be used for them. Xiu Zhe is an exception. Although this person is only in his twenties, he has
It was because of his calmness and careful thinking that he became one of the important staff members of King Zhong.
Even important staff, unless it is something extremely important that needs to be kept secret, King Zhong will not hide it from others. Those two letters from Daliang City are not talking about very confidential matters. Naturally, Xiu Zhe is.
You can go and see it. Now when I ask him what he means, I just want to see what he thinks and his attitude.
He did not answer the question immediately. He thought about it in his heart again and made sure that he had thought of everything he should have thought. Then Xiu Zhe said: "I would like to congratulate you, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince can stand up and stand up without becoming a source of discussion for others."
, it’s really an eye-opener for God.”
"Haha, yes, as a father, I am really happy to know that Yi'er can stand up again." Speaking of this matter, Prince Zhong's face also flashed a sense of relief. If it is said that in his life
The person I felt most sorry for was probably his son Tang Yi. As a result of this, his right leg was broken at the knee. Every time he thought about this, King Zhong felt his heart bleed, his eyes were filled with hatred, and he wished he could jump on his horse.
, ordered the three armies to attack the enemy's land.
But what has happened cannot be changed. Even if he can really kill his enemy, it is impossible to reattach his son's broken leg. What's more, with his current strength, he will definitely not be the enemy's opponent.
If you really want to rebel, you are just asking for humiliation, discomfort and destruction.
The situation was such that King Zhong had to suppress the anger in his heart and pretend that nothing was wrong. But he could not forget this hatred. If one day his enemy died, he would kill all his descendants with blood and heart.
Take revenge to calm your anger, otherwise you will really die with your eyes open.
Xiu Zhe saw that Prince Zhong's face relaxed at first and then turned cold. He lowered his head and clasped his fists again and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have read the letter between the Crown Prince and Steward Cheng and think that Duke Zhong can make use of it."
"Huh? Let's talk about it." Prince Zhong nodded slightly and handed his hands to the basin held by the soldiers beside him. He seemed to be cleaning his hands casually, but his ears were already perked up. He wanted to see Xiu Zhe's
