In the evening, after Mu Jing rushed back to the Minghou Mansion from the Military Industry Department outside the city, he immediately called Hu Zhao and Liu Jin and arranged this matter carefully.

"Blacksmiths and craftsmen, we want to get a class, with a certain ability and contribution to the rank, this class title, certified by our Minghou Mansion, in addition to a certain level, we are worthy of the rank of the Minghou Mansion!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice to the two of them.

Rank is actually a representative of an official rank.

This seems a bit excessive.

However, Mujing just wants to do it in one step, and there is a pursuit to make progress, no matter what kind of world, there are very few people who are willing to dedicate themselves to art, and many people regard it as a skill to support their families.

Only by making these craftsmen and blacksmiths, like officials, not only assign ranks, but also rank and rank, so that they can enjoy the status of officials.

"Matching?" Hu Zhao's eyes widened: "Will this cause opposition from the scholars?" ”

"Sort of!"

Pastoral nods, this is an era of scholars, these scholars have a sense of superiority, once this sense of superiority is broken, it will inevitably cause some dissatisfaction, but Mu Jing doesn't care, he analyzed: "I didn't want to implement it so early, everything step by step, is the best, but now Cai Yong is tied to the matter of education, Yizhou's scholar gate lord, also caught in the matter of the rebellion in Guanghan Shu County, at this time, just take advantage of the weakness, a hammer to settle the matter, then the wood has been completed, No one has anything to say! ”

He thought for a moment, and then said: "And we have to do more than this, the status of the craftsman is improved, the status of the healer must also be improved, and even the farmer must also be promoted, either not to do it, or to do it in one step!" ”

"Is this a big move?"

Hu Zhao gasped.

"Is this necessary?" Liu Jin somewhat couldn't see Mu Jing's intentions, after all, he was also a scholar, reading sage books, for him, craftsmen, doctors, merchants, etc., had an effect, but he couldn't compare to a scholar.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "If we want to defend the country, we may need the political wisdom of scholars, but if we want to develop the future, make the world a better place, and make life more consistent, we have to rely on these people in the end!" ”

There is no doubt that this era is backward, and it is not a simple matter for Mu Jing to move from backwardness to the future, he needs to mobilize everyone who can be activated, so that they can exert their own limits.

Shinong industry and commerce are indispensable.

Whether it is agriculture, industry, commerce, or animal husbandry, they are all considering to improve their status.

In life, the pursuit of fame and fortune is instinct.

Scholars can enjoy a different status, so countless people are yearning for the world of scholars, if these craftsmen, farmers, and businessmen can feel the status that they can figure out with readers, they don't need to rush to the pasture, and there will be countless people yearning for it.

……………………………………………………

What Mu Jing wants to do is not a simple thing, nor can it be done overnight, at this time, the letter of alliance sent back from Jingzhou has been sent back, or Yi Yuan personally sent it back.

The Iraqi returned along the river by boat, and it took a full ten days, and the boat did not dock, and the boat did not stop for a moment.

Originally, he could have asked someone to send the letter back, but he thought that he should come back and explain his attitude towards Jingzhou to Mu Jing in person.

"Uncle Ji, you have done a good job, you should be the first to take credit for this matter!"

Mu Jing took a closer look at this agreement, the big seal of the state and state pastor on the alliance book, and the seal of the Minghou Mansion, whether it is the state or the Minghou Mansion, it is justifiable, and it is also branded with the big seal of the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, which is considered to be an announcement to the world.

"Kong Ming, immediately arrange to print thousands of copies of this alliance book, and then paste it to all the cities of Yizhou and Jingzhou, so that this matter will be boiled and let the world know!"

Mu Jing instructed.

To make a noise, that is, to tell the people of the world that Yizhou and Jingzhou have formed an alliance, and even if Yizhou is empty at that time, as long as he dares to come to Jingzhou, it will be the anger of the public.

"No!"

Hu Zhao nodded.

"In addition, give an order to Beiwutang, order Jingping's First Army, Violent Bear Army, and Jingping Water Division to withdraw immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Lord, the Violent Bear Army has withdrawn, so Xiangyang County doesn't have to defend it!"

"You have to defend it, but you don't necessarily need the Storm Bear Army!"

Mu Jing squinted: "We signed an alliance with Jingzhou, but we have no alliance with Nanyang, once I withdraw my troops, Nanyang will send troops, they are plotting against Jingzhou, it's not a matter of one or two days!" ”

"What then?"

"Okay!" Mu Jing said: "Reorganize a Xiangyang battalion!" ”

"Who's the main general?"

"How is Lei Bo!"

"It seems that the lord has already thought about it!"

"Hehehe!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "For this day, I have been planning for a long time, once the main force of the pastoral army marches south, the internal defense naturally needs troops, Lei Bo is unruly, it is his shortcoming, but also his benefit, as for whether he can be suppressed, I am not worried about this!" ”

"Lord, this Liu Jingzhou is a little reluctant to face the covenant!"

Yi said suddenly.

"It's okay!" Mu Jing smiled indifferently: "Now I am equivalent to directly putting the knife on his neck and asking him to sign the letter of alliance, if he has no grudge in his heart, it is impossible, so I made a big fuss!" ”

"He has a grudge in his heart, and he must have plans to break the covenant!"

Yi said: "They may not attack Yizhou, but once we withdraw our troops from Xiangyang, will they give up the opportunity to Xiangyang for the sake of this name, then it is unknown, we can make a thief to divide Xiangyang, they are deeply rooted in Xiangyang, can't we get a Xiangyang autonomy?" ”

"Not yet!" Mu Jing shook his head: "As long as he signs this alliance, unless he is famous, he will not dare to send troops to my Yizhou, nor will he dare to send troops to the Xiangyang Army, if he lacks a righteous name, he will not be a righteous teacher, if it is someone else, I am still afraid of three points, but Jingzhou, the academic atmosphere is so strong, without our action, someone has already come forward to stop him, Jingzhou pedantic, where is the big reason, as for the deep-rooted, I use Cai Tu, it is equivalent to digging half of his foundation in Xiangyang, he can't turn the wind and waves!" ”

"Even so, this alliance can only protect us and Jingzhou for two years at most!" Hu Zhao said.

"Two years is enough!"

Mu Jing said: "In this way, I will be able to conquer the south with peace of mind, and in two years, if I can't unify the north and south of Yizhou, then I, the name of Minghou who is good at fighting, can also be lost!" ”

The Ming Marquis is good at fighting, and the world knows it.

The benefits of the herdsman army have long been revealed from the fierce expression in the Kwantung War, these years, after countless battles, invincible, in the eyes of the princes of the world, there is the impression of a strong army.

"Kibo, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard next!" Mu Jing patted Yi Yuan's shoulder: "Originally, you just came back from Jingzhou, and you should be allowed to rest for a while, but now that I am about to send troops, I have to sort out the relationship outside!" ”

"Please instruct the lord, his subordinates are willing to break their bones for the Ming Hou Mansion, and they will not hesitate to die again!"

"It's not that serious!"

Mu Jingdao: "I'll give you half a month, you take the south study as the mainstay, set up the Honglu Division, establish the Honglu Bureau, and after half a month, you represent me, walk the princes of the world, visit the princes of all walks of life, and announce the alliance!" ”

"No!"

Yi Yi suddenly felt a heavy sense of trust.

"The lord is afraid that there will be changes in Chang'an, so he wants to attack from afar!" Hu Zhao said softly.

"That's right, I'm going to attack from afar now!"

Mu Jing squinted: "The main thing is to buy time for our southern expedition, I don't want the southern expedition to start the battle of northern Xinjiang before it ends, Dong Zhuo, I am always not at ease!" ”
