A "ding-dang" sound sounded at the door. Ming Zhaoxia, who was awakened, stretched out her hand, but Lang Jun was not around.
With a start, he turned around to touch the sword, but only touched the wall.
So I woke up completely.
Ming Zhaoxia turned her head and saw Zhao Si getting dressed. She yawned, rolled on the bed a few times, and finally got up reluctantly.
"Zhaoxia, sleep a little longer."
"No, I will accompany you."
Ming Zhaoxia moved very quickly, and put on a sarong that was similar to Zhao Si's.
The one for Zhao is bright red, and the one for Ming Zhaoxia is dark blue.
When she walked to the door, Li Fang was still knocking on the copper.
The sound was neither loud nor quiet. It could wake up people in the house, but it could not spread far beyond the yard.
Seeing Zhao Si opening the door and coming out, Li Fang stopped knocking. Yu Huatian still held the cylinder, took a step forward, and asked aloud with a solemn expression. His voice was still as sharp and crisp as if he had just exhausted the copper.
lingering sound.
"Zhao Si, have you forgotten the eighteen states of Yanyun and the hometown of Lingwu?"
"Zhao Si doesn't dare to forget for a moment -!" Zhao Si clasped his hands on his chest and replied, every word popping out of his Dantian.
"Zhao Si, do you want to be humiliated by the smell of fish in China and humiliated by sitting in a well and looking at the sky?"
Yu Huatian's pale face was right in front of him. Those peach blossom eyes were staring at Zhao Si. Ming Zhaoxia, who was standing behind the door, felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Zhao Si swears to death not to let it happen!" Zhao Si's voice was deep and powerful, shattering the sense of oppression and making Ming Zhaoxia feel the majesty of the situation.
"Zhao Si, do you still remember your ambition?"
"Enrich the people and strengthen the country, surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
After three questions and three answers, the two of them saluted each other. Yu Huatian was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhao Si.
"Huatian, are you holding the national general map of Mengxi Gong's "Tianxia Map of Prefectures and Counties"?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Well, it's a good thing to keep it safe. Although there are five copies in the Secretariat and the Privy Council, this one was painted by Mr. Mengxi himself and can be handed down from generation to generation."
"Remember, little one, you must take good care of it."
All good things are in the Secretary's Department. Since they belong to the Secretary's Department, they naturally belong to me, Zhao Shisan.
Ming Zhaoxia was practicing swordplay in the corner, while Zhao Si and others were training as usual.
After exercising for an hour in the morning and washing up, Zhao Si, Ming Zhaoxia and Madam Zeng had breakfast together.
"Your Highness, has the official issued an edict instructing you to protect the four states?" Madam Zeng asked.
"Well, yesterday my subordinates and the Privy Council received the royal edict, and it will be published in the "Donghua Chao Bao" published today." Zhao Si replied while drinking soy milk and eating steamed buns.
"Is there any? Let me take a look." Ming Zhaoxia bit into half of the steamed bun and jumped up. She walked to the table next to her and picked up the "Donghua Chao Bao" that had just been delivered.
After a few glances, I saw it.
"I found it, an imperial edict written by an official, 'King Jian is appointed as the pastor of Yong Prefecture, and he is appointed as the governor of Bo, Shou, Su, and Hao Prefectures. He selects and leads the imperial army... to suppress the bandits and appease the place.'..."
After finishing reading, Ming Zhaoxia frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, is Yongzhou Mu a reward for fighting the flood in Baliushu? It's too light."
"There has to be some room left. It would be troublesome if there is no reward." Zeng Shuhua wiped the corners of her lips and turned to ask Zhao Si, "Your Highness, is "Donghua Chao Bao" an official Chao Bao?"
"Yes. The emperor asked us to try out a court newspaper in the Secretary Province. If the effect is good, we can slowly reduce the number of imperial newspapers that enter the memorial hall. Each state in the memorial hall has one official, a certain number of attendants, and a certain number of general affairs. All costs will be reduced.
It’s the wealth of the people and the wealth of the people, and it must all be spread on the heads of the local people.”
“It’s also a good thing to reduce some of the work and alleviate some of it.” Zeng Shuhua agreed.
Walking into the Secretariat Department, this place has become Zhao's territory.
Several newly established agencies such as the Publications Bureau, Statistics Bureau, Confidentiality Bureau, and Security Bureau are called the core agencies of the Secretariat Province. Through these agencies, Zhao-like tentacles extend outward quietly but cautiously.
"The officials have issued an edict, allowing me to lead troops to capture and suppress Jingshan bandits. Now we need to make a careful calculation of what kind of troops we will bring, as well as the preparation of food and grass, and the marching route. After these are finalized, we must report to the Privy Council, and then
After the officials give them face-to-face instructions on military aircraft, we can then combine the tiger talisman and start deploying troops and generals."
"Your Highness, here is a newspaper," Changsun Moli handed over a newspaper directly.
"Kyoto Institute Newspaper, um, a newspaper that Brother Eleven funded behind the scenes?" Zhao Si glanced at it.
"Yes, Your Highness, please look at the third page."
Zhao Si turned it over and looked at it, and it was written: "King Jian led the troops to appease the four states of Bo, Shou, Su, and Hao, and the bandits who jumped off the beam will not escape!"
This title!
If you look closely, the article almost clearly describes the entire process of dispatching troops and generals, and the time required, step by step.
Zhao Si smiled, "They consulted experts in the industry and put a lot of thought into it."
Zeng Baohua took it and looked at it, his face turned pale.
"What do these bastards want to do?"
Zhang Shuye read the newspaper and sneered: "These people will do anything to cause trouble for His Highness."
"Mr. Ji Zhong is right. The Kyoto Institute News has learned from us. Part of the newspaper is shipped to the southeast for sale. It must pass through Suzhou on the way. At that time, a caring person will take a detour and take this newspaper to a place near Jingshan Town.
deliver."
"You dare to board military planes for important matters? Seal them! Otherwise, the Jingshan thieves know the court's movements and prepare in advance, and this battle will not be fought." Zeng Baohua said angrily.
"Banning the Kyoto Institute Newspaper will not help. The imperial court's use of military aircraft against the Kawashi family has been published in tabloids, not to mention trivial matters such as arresting thieves and appeasement."
Zhao Si shook his head.
The civil servants in the DPRK have no sense of confidentiality at all. It should be that they are not required to fight the war, and even if they are defeated, they are not required to take responsibility, so they are so unscrupulous.
"Well, the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, and the entire imperial center are just like a sieve that allows air to circulate everywhere." Zhang Shuye sighed.
The affairs of Xuanfu in the four states are proceeding in an orderly manner.
Wu Cai and Bai Shizhong paid close attention to every step and promptly informed Li Bangyan for publication in the "Kyoto Institute News".
On this day, Bai Shizhong hurriedly came to find Wu Cai.
"Brother Shengtori, I just received a message."
"What news?"
Bai Shizhong came close to Wu Cai's ear and whispered a few words.
"Really or not?"
"I had a man who made the decree in the Privy Council in the same year, and he saw it with his own eyes."
Wu Cai raised his head and laughed, his mouth wide open, but his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, and only a few hoarse laughter squeezed out.
"Zhao Shisan, you are so complacent! Quickly inform Li Shimei, publish it tomorrow morning, and then ask someone to send it to Jingshan Town."
"Brother Shengtori, don't worry. Zhao Shisan is not a person who gives up easily. He has returned to the palace now. Let's wait and see how he responds."
Wu Cai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, Bai Shizhong received information that King Jian Zhao Shisan entered the palace in person, talked with the officials for more than an hour, and finally convinced the officials to continue the previous plan of promulgation and careless affairs regardless of the change.
After receiving the news, Li Bangyan held talks with some "experts in the industry" to learn from the experience, and directly published the news in the next day's newspaper. He also said bluntly that if things change, the march will become even slower. Now
It's early July, and I wonder if we can pacify the place and restore peace to the people within this year.
But the biggest problem is that something has happened to the general, and he cannot concentrate on command, which will make the outcome of the war uncertain.
If the campaign fails, the Jingshan bandits will become more powerful. Then all life will be devastated, and it will be the common people who will suffer.
At the end of the article, the editor sighed with compassion.
The court is careless and does not prioritize the peace of the people; the powerful are selfish and only care about military achievements. For such a disease like ringworm and scabies, an official can be sent to provide preferential care and peace.
Problems that are obviously easy to solve have to be dealt with in a big way.
It not only wastes people and money, but also harms the local area!
How could the people be blamed? What a pity! This chapter has been completed!
