The abridgement written by Gu Ci was praised by her husband, and the emperor promised to divide the newspaper reading and let someone take care of it, and the queen was happy to prepare for the New Year!

The first great court meeting of the following year issued a heavyweight decree to establish a privy council to deal with possible military conflicts and to instruct the armed forces of the border cities and seaports on how to protect the merchants and people of the border and sea trade. The Privy Council has four departments, which means that the civil and military have their own centers, which makes the civil and military system suddenly opposed. However, the Protector later produced several military newspapers that left the opposing ministers speechless.

The million-strong army of the Xiongnu is gathered in Khotan, the north is the Tarim Desert, the south is the green ridge and the Kang-Tibet Plateau where the mountains and birds fly away, and along the Silk Road to the west is the same cavalry-based Yuejibei and the big cannibal, to the east to the Hexi corridor with abundant water and grass, and then continue to the east is Yangguan, how the Huns will choose, almost no need to ask. The Southern Zhao and the Bi Kingdom were annexed, the Five Edicts had been surrendered, and the Sakya Tubo, who was unwilling to lose, had contacted the Xiongnu. The Tran dynasty of Annam ignored the note of the Yu dynasty and lured the Hongmaoyi in Saigon to prepare to flank the Li department. Silla in the East China Sea colluded with the Khemui of Osumi Island and prepared to push Lee's Goryeo north of the Han River in return to Tsushima Island. Some scattered tribes who have always been engaged in border trade with Xingqing City have informed them that there is a large cavalry tribe north of Jinwei Mountain and west of Hanhai that has been unified, and whether it is a threat to Dayu needs to be further investigated.

This 'embattled' situation, coupled with the emperor's statement that anyone who felt that a city could be guaranteed without a military general's strategy, would be happy to send him to develop the frontier, stick to the country, and even bring his wife and mother with him.

Compared with these two big movements that shook the court, the existing officials had to take the diploma after half a year, and Gu Yao's appointment as the second assistant was simply a trivial matter.

"Royal News" also welcomed the editor-in-chief Zhao Mengxuan and the deputy editor-in-chief Gong Jintian, as well as the nominal honorary editor-in-chief Xiao Lu. Shenzong's instructions to the two of them are also simple -- they can 'let a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom', but they must strictly prohibit 'non-monarchy, ten evils, prostitution and theft', adhere to the principle of 'the party and not the masses, and fight for power', guide public opinion with political opinions and morality, and break the power of 'incitement, instigation, ignorance, and partiality'.

***********************

Under the propaganda of the newspaper and Gu Yao's prestige, the people's support for the separation of civil and military affairs is quite high, and they all think that 'literature does not pre-empt martial affairs' is the right thing to do, where does the weak chicken have the qualifications to point fingers at the heroes of the god of war? !

Yuan Yi tasted the power of the word 'propaganda', and thought that the little girl had mentioned the propaganda department in the army before, as if she understood the deep meaning. From ancient times to the present, the army has been under the control of the general, and if the soldiers really want to say that they are loyal to him, the new emperor who has not met a few times, or more loyal to the general himself, I am afraid that the answer may not make him happy. If we elevate the level of 'loyalty' to the level of 'patriotism', and take 'where the Chinese people are, it is the kingdom of China', and repeatedly inculcate the concepts of 'nation' and 'country', can it replace the sergeant's blind following of the general himself?

This matter cannot be noticed by the generals for the time being, and if you do it in private, I am afraid that you will have to let Jinyiwei take action.

This opinion was strongly despised and ridiculed by Gu Ci, "It's just a matter of letting Seventh Brother set up people to monitor the generals of the various armies, how can he be a person who does this kind of mother-in-law's meticulous work?" ”

How can the male god of her family be the material for the aunt of the neighborhood committee!

"How?"

"This kind of thing is like being a matchmaker, we must be good at inducing, moisturizing things silently, and reflecting the interests of the monarch and the country from the little things, not just shouting slogans every day."

"In this way...... Yuan Yi thought of the inner servant, if he let Ming Fang do it, it would be really appropriate. It's just that considering the army's tradition of rejecting eunuchs and supervising the army, I hesitated again.

Gu Ci wanted to go with him, "Uncle Ming Fang is very suitable like this." There are so many literate and hyphenation attendants, they are moldy in Dingfuzhuang when they go out of the palace, and they can't waste talents. ”

It should not be difficult for people to accept the internal servants who do not supervise the army and only do copywriting work. There are indeed many scribes in the army, only young and homeless people are willing to go, and the inner servants do not have this worry, and they are equivalent to military service, which is also an upright way out, and they can adopt a boy after leaving the army or in an accident, and they are not afraid of losing their heirs.

"Ming Fang is also in charge of firearms, so he really can't get out."

“…… Brother, how is Manager Mu? ”

Yuan Yi's eyes lit up, Mu Wanqing was originally one of the people that the first emperor intended to leave to him, but it was a pity that the previous guard was not effective, so he was swept aside.

"Baby, you're really my lucky star!"

The person who was praised proudly rushed over to accept the reward, completely ignoring the fact that Mingzhuang was holding a thick pile of folds in his hand outside the door.

***********************

The establishment of the Privy Council, the most obvious thing is that the warriors also have a calendar!

Before, the military department, which was mainly based on logistics, was tortured by the calendar, but now it is subdivided into four departments, there are more positions, and there are more jobs, and it has not been long since the army has implemented the study of literacy and literacy, and many official documents have to be read by documents, but only the military cao and above can be equipped with documents, and it is even more difficult to let the people below engage in the calendar, which is even more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy. Fortunately, the emperor helped solve the problem, and the minimum platoon was equipped with clerks, that is, Xu officials or chamberlains who voluntarily joined the army through the official examination, and the age was between fifteen and forty-five. If the palace attendants want to go, they can also go through the formalities to leave the palace immediately.

This caused an uproar, and the civilian officials, who were already dissatisfied with Shenzong's 'emphasis on military force and light on literature,' said that there had been no war to increase the number of non-combatants in this way, and that there was a suspicion of reckless military force. The new Shangshu of the Ministry of War immediately requested that the local guards be cut off, and that the superior ones be included in the Fourth Army, and the inferior ones should be delegated to the local inspection department. The newly appointed secretary of the Wu Ministry, who also served as the commander of the Wucheng Praetorian Guard, asked the inspection departments of various localities to be included in the military department's establishment for assessment, and those who failed to pass the test were to be incorporated into the unpaid township militia on the spot.

This subordinate officer is dumb again.

The department of the Inspection Department sounds quite lofty, but in fact, it has the same status as the clerks who do miscellaneous work in the government and the jailers who guard the prison doors. The original intention was to be responsible for catching thieves and murderers under the leadership of the prefecture and county, and sometimes to suppress local riots and rebellions. When the military department first carried out the calendar, one of the items was the implementation and application of the "Code of Conduct" for non-commissioned soldiers, and according to its standards, the recruits were trained for three months, and only when they reached the standard could they be considered regular soldiers, and if they did not meet the standards, they would be village warriors. In this way, there are many places to vacate for substandard guards and veterans, not to mention paperwork.

Maybe there will be a lot of military spending left, not to mention that there is a queen who can make money like this......

Commander Nguyen had a new position, and he was in charge of the inspection department under the Jingzhao Mansion, and it was logical that the Five Cities Janissaries were also split into the Gyeonggi Inspection Department to be responsible for public security and fire protection, or merged into the Imperial Forest Army to be responsible for city defense. After such adjustments, there will inevitably be overlapping positions, and if someone wants to join the army or enter the martial arts hall, they can directly take the exam. With the increase in military power but the decrease in miscellaneous soldiers, even the literati who are not accustomed to the emperor's emphasis on literature and light on military force cannot say that it is bad.

However, the emperor then gave the civil officials the same status, and after the six ministries became seven, they were merged into the Chongzheng Yuan, which stood side by side with the Privy Council, and the cabinet had no martial artists except for the emperor's father-in-law, but the first assistant was undecided, so that the civil officials also had the motivation to overpower the military generals.

In the future, the security of the palace will be fully responsible for the internal security department, as for the female soldiers in the harem, in addition to patrolling the night and guarding the door, they are also with the literate palace maids, under the leadership of Yiqing, working for the royal industry, responsible for various statistical summaries, uploading and disseminating, sorting and summarizing the work, and is busier than the secretariat. Every time Gu Ci gets the monthly report, he has to sigh that Yiqing is no worse than Uncle Qing now, and it is rare to be a compound talent and a part-time famous doctor.

Yuan Yi listened to her so respectful, and deliberately took the monthly statement to read it in detail, now that the royal industry is increasing, Gu Ci asked Xie Qing to do the audit, to help keep an eye on the talent reserve, just the manpower in her hands is no longer enough, and a person needs to bring out the general managers of various industries, and operate and implement them in strict accordance with the industry charter. If Yiqing can take on the role of auditor, the outside can let Xie Qing pick someone to be the general manager. Fortunately, in order to cooperate with the queen, all the financial and office staff of the headquarters of the royal industry in Beijing are women, which greatly saves manpower.

***********************

Xiao Lu used to bury himself in writing books, and he was doing everything in medical books, books, books, and anthologies, except for accompanying Qiang Qiang, he almost didn't hear anything outside the window. I didn't know that the little granddaughter got out the newspaper, and took each issue of the newspaper to make teaching materials for the little granddaughter to read and write, and he couldn't put it down after looking at it. In particular, I heard that the debate on 'reckless warfare' and 'keeping the enemy out of the country' was written by Zhao Mengxuan after throwing away the carving knife and picking up the pen and writing it with his good friend Mr. Gong, knowing that the emperor's apprentice gave him the title of honorary editor-in-chief, he enthusiastically participated in the debate and directly discussed political opinions. This effect is more convincing than that of pedantic people who want to incite scholars and students to confront the vulgar martial artists for fear of the fall of the regime.

With these three Dinghai Shen Needles, every little change in the new policy can get a good response and expectation among the people, and of course, it also makes the people who implement it more pressure. Yuan Yi, as the starting point for top-down reform, is not an ordinary strict and cautious person, and he is so busy during this time that he often can't even catch up with the mother and son for dinner.

In addition to taking more careful care of his body, Gu Ci could only stay in the study from time to time, first help him sort out the folds and make a summary. Let someone else do this, and he felt that it was not appropriate enough, and when she came to do it, he felt distressed. I really don't know why this man didn't get Shousuke earlier, set a general direction by himself, and let Shousuke do meticulous work? Now Ye Ye has to be busy with the Privy Council, and the rest are auxiliary ministers, and no one dares to talk much, of course, he can only be tired alone.

In today's parent-child time, Gu Ci is explaining to Qiang Qiang and Ah Sheng why Gu Yao and Xiao Lu have been coming less recently.

"You all know that my grandfather is the 'god of war' of our Dayu Dynasty, and now there may be danger at the border, and he has to find a way to stop or defuse it, so he is very busy."

The two honorable children nodded obediently, and asked Xiao Lu, "Is my great-grandfather going to war too?" ”

"Master, his old man has been busy writing things to newspapers lately, so that everyone can study."

Qiang Qiang has always been open-minded, and when he knew the answer, he was satisfied, and he protected Bajie to play with his two little brothers.

Last time, Ah Shuang accidentally hit Bajie with a copper bell, Qiang Qiang was distressed, and counted him down for a long time, but found that people still only laughed, and looked for his mother to administer justice in a depressed manner. Gu Ci smiled and persuaded her that her younger brother and Bajie couldn't speak, so it was useless for her to give her a verbal lesson like this, let her think of a useful way. Qiang Qiang originally wanted to hit his younger brother's board, but he was reluctant, so that his younger brother couldn't play with Bajie in the future, and he was even more reluctant, and the last solution he came up with was to stare at the whole time, and not let the two younger brothers who couldn't understand the words be alone with Bajie, if she played Bajie again, she would take it away. For this matter, Ah Sheng, who has a heavy workload, also specially thanked her, because he felt sorry for Bajie, and he also wanted his younger brothers to play with Bajie, and with his sister to protect him, he was not afraid that Bajie would be hurt again.

Gu Ci smiled and watched the whole process without speaking, and decided to wait for the two smaller ones to be bigger, and then raise a puppy for the two of them. In this way, two people hold one to promote emotional exchange. However, Yuan Yi didn't allow it, saying that Bajie would be uncomfortable when he saw the new puppy, so it was better to wait for Bajie to go and then raise them. That will be Qiang Qiang and Ah Sheng, and there will be no time to take care of the puppy.

Ah Sheng was not as easy to dismiss as Qiang Qiang, and continued to ask, "Why didn't my grandfather just go and knock out those bad guys?" ”

"Why go directly?" Being a mother is not obliged to give an answer, that's a father's business, so she loves to ask her son.

"There won't be any more trouble in the future." Obviously, the son is used to being questioned rhetorically, and he has already thought about it himself.

"Who can guarantee that there will be no trouble if you knock it out first?" Gu Ci touched him, "Did my grandfather tell you the story of Zhuge Kongming's seven captures and seven longitudinal Meng won before?" ”

"Yes."

"Mr. Kong Ming is so powerful, hasn't Meng Shu repeatedly come to find trouble?" Seeing that his son was confused, Gu Ci felt that maybe the topic was too big, so he could understand it, "You see that every time Ah Zhi comes to play, he likes to grab the brown rice and eat it jelly, if you also like to eat, in order not to let him grab it, will you run to teach him a lesson first?" ”

This Ah Sheng understood, and began to think about how to make this seventh cousin, who was a few months older, not be able to snatch the brown rice jelly made by his mother in the future. "I'll divide it every time, give him half."

"Isn't he enough?"

“…… Give him my share. ”

Seeing that her son, who doesn't like sweets, was so reluctant to make her dim sum, Gu Ci felt a sense of accomplishment, "What else is he going to do?" ”

“…… I won't let him rob it! "The future prince is still very powerful.

"He won't listen?"

Ah Sheng was a little entangled, telling his father that the emperor seemed to be making a big fuss, and telling the seventh uncle was like a complaint, "...... I asked my eldest cousin to educate him ......"

"No one else is here, and there are no adults and palace attendants, what if there are only a few of you children?"

"I'll stop him myself!"

Brave children deserve encouragement, "Good baby is amazing!" What if you can't beat Ah Zhi? Or do you want to grab it in six or six? ”

Gu Ci, who smiled at his son's stuck, hugged him and pulled back the topic, "Look, my mother has given so many examples, have you really encountered some situations, only to know that maybe you can't handle them?" ”

Ah Sheng nodded reluctantly, he really couldn't beat his second cousin Liuliu.

"So you have to take into account all possible scenarios and prepare in advance. If you think Ah Zhi will not listen to you, just leave Qi'an by his side, will it be solved? "Qi An is the chief attendant of Ah Sheng's side.

"What should I do if Ah Zhi doesn't listen to Qi An?"

My son will also ask rhetorically, how smart! Gu Ci encouraged him, "My mother doesn't know, you can think about it yourself, ask your father, or ask your grandfather and great-grandfather." ”

The result of letting the smart son use his brain is that Ah Zhi of the Gu Yi family will never be able to eat his favorite brown rice jelly when he enters the palace in the future, of course, the extra harvest is to stimulate the enthusiasm of the future prince to practice martial arts.

***********************

The first New Year of the Shenzong era was very lively, and Chi Qiyu, who had become a father, accompanied Duan Fuming, the younger brother of Duan Fukuan, the king of Nanzhao, and Shuming Nada, the son of King Bi, with the leaders or envoys of the five edicts that had been surrendered, and the captured Sakya Tubo generals entered Beijing, and the Dongying fleet brought Wu Ning, the son of the Ryukyu king Chadu, and the envoys of the Li family, as well as the envoys of the Emperor Dongying, the Uesugi general, the Kyushu domain, and the Shikoku domain, including a large number of Chinese merchants who traveled to and from several places, as well as the envoys of the Li clan of Annam, the Three Buddhas, and the envoys of the Johor Bahru.

It's really a bit like all nations are coming to court.

Ran Zhengqing of Honglu Temple took all the spirit, took the "Strange Stories of the World" produced and printed by the subordinate translators as a reference, and took the foreign guest building to pick up a good look, and Lin Zhengqing, who was in charge of the Taichang Temple teaching workshop, even urged the girls to learn a few words of foreign Yi dialect, and be sure to make the Yi people feel at home.

Under the propaganda of newspapers and Wanguo Yutu, the self-proclaimed well-informed Shangjing people will no longer have the wrong concept of drinking blood from the outside world, not to mention how much real money and silver the Dongying route returned to a year ago.

It doesn't matter if the countryman is a turtle, as long as you have money!
