In the elegant seat of the teahouse in Dezhou City, Lu Ning listened to the debate between the two literati next door with a growing smell of gunpowder, and couldn't help but wonder.

After the three towns of Hebei and the Anguo Army returned to Qi, soon Dezhou was also appeased, so that the three towns of Hebei, the Anguo Army and Qilu were connected in one piece.

In the vicinity of Dizhou, a pontoon bridge was erected with giant boat chains, so that the Qi country was truly integrated.

In addition to the rectification of the Hebei and Shandong battalions, Lu Ning at the same time formally incorporated the 1,000 heavy cavalry that had been trained in the guard army camp for the north and south battalions into the guard army, and recruited 500 reserve soldiers into the guard army, so that the guard army was expanded to 5,000 people.

Among them, there are two battalions of Lianzhu Battalion (cavalry and light cavalry), each with 500 people; two battalions of Tiger Camp (Heavy Cavalry), 500 men each; two mobile battalions (reserves) with 500 men each; Two battalions of the Giant Wood Battalion (shield soldiers), each with 300 men; King Kong Battalion (Heavy Bu Mo Sword Soldiers) two battalions, each battalion of 300 people; two battalions of Shenji Battalion (archers), each with 400 men; The battalion commanders involved have also been adjusted.

During this time, Lu Ning, in addition to purging the guards and pro-army, has been wandering around the territory, most of the time in Qingzhou, a few days ago, he arrived in this Texas.

There is "only" a palace in Luning, Texas, which is a wealthy villa of the large households that have been confiscated and reported to the land, and it has become a palace after a slight reconstruction.

Lu Ning doesn't know how many palaces he has now, it stands to reason that he doesn't have much territory, only most of the land of Qilu and part of Hebei, but the number of palaces, I'm afraid that Emperor Yang of Sui can't catch up with him, and some state capitals even have two or three palace villas.

However, these palaces are all confiscated officials, heroes, and did not use manpower and material resources to build them, and each additional palace means that in the local area, the bullies have been rectified, taxes have been reduced, and a large number of tenant farmers have land confiscated by the state, and the rent is clear.

Therefore, every time there is an additional palace, the lord of the country will gain a large number of fans, and the local people will praise it, which is also an alternative scenery in the territory of Qi State.

Of course, the palaces in Luning are not just for their own convenience, but also to deter local officials, each state capital is only a palace of about ten people to take care of, and there is a legendary bag to inquire, so that the officials feel that they are on the left like a man, this cost, can be ignored.

Of course, this is not the norm for governing the country, but now that all industries are waiting for innovation, this kind of high pressure is also a last resort.

However, in this Texas, the new policy has just been implemented, and the people's hearts have not yet been united, no, the debates of the scribes can be heard in the tea shops.

Of course, he is against his own new policy, and what he says is extremely obscure, and he is extremely careful in his choice of words and sentences, so he is naturally not the opponent of the sharp-tongued literati of the "Qi Wang Party" who can speak their minds freely.

In fact, it was those literati who scolded him, Lu Ningzi didn't care, even if he ran in front of him and pointed at his nose to scold, it didn't matter, and there was no anger to cut off people's heads.

It's just a different idea.

However, I feel that in terms of ideology, I have seen the development history of China for more than 1,000 years, and I can see further.

I don't want the imperial examination to become deformed, and in the end, the title, the form of the article, etc. become more and more rigid, and finally become a doubagu essay and the like.

For the development of the entire nation, the elite to be selected has been studying this kind of bastard knowledge of how not to speak human words all their lives, and then they can get ahead and become the ruling class, and use this group to lead the nation forward? It's just useless, and it's no wonder that the Ming and Qing dynasties have been like a day for hundreds of years, and the entire social structure and ideas have been completely stagnant, and they have been standing still for hundreds of years.

The so-called prosperous era, at most, there are fewer natural and man-made disasters and more grain.

This kind of fragile prosperity may soon turn into a chaotic era.

Therefore, since there is this opportunity, he will turn the world upside down, even if he dies and the country is destroyed, at least, it will have a huge impact on the thinking of the people.

Fortunately, from the Tang Dynasty, the rule of the scholars did not occupy the dominant, and the efficient imperial examination began to take scholars from the poor family, and the lower class had the possibility of changing the class attributes to become the social elite, and the form of the imperial examination has not yet been ossified, and the inclusive legacy of the Tang Dynasty's openness is still more or less there.

If it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties, I am afraid that I would immediately become the public enemy of the whole world.

While pondering, the knife maid outside came in with the curtain and knelt down on one knee: "Master father, Mrs. Xishang Palace has a letter." "Hold a letter in both hands.

Lu Ning was slightly stunned, he stayed away from Yanzhou, although it was to inspect the world, he could also take a look at his new policy, what are the disadvantages of using it in this era.

But it's not because it's a headache to look at a big family.

Don't talk about the wife, the first master who gives me a headache, the East Palace and the West Palace, although I miss them a lot, but if I stay with them all day long in Yanzhou, Yongning will immediately have to be a demon.

Moreover, in the history books of later generations, will it be made that he is the king of Qi Xuan, if there is something to do with Zhong Wuyan, and if there is nothing to do with summer and spring?

Princess Yongning is naturally Zhong Wuyan, who is virtuous and capable and can help the king settle the world, but her appearance is mediocre.

Gan's and You Wuniang are charming and lovely, peerless stunners, but the summer and spring of the troubled country are coming.

Not to mention these, now, there is another Beishang Palace.

Who is that? I don't dare to think about it, the more I think about the future generations of film and television dramas, the more numb my scalp is.

Now, Wu'er's letters?

Lu Ning rubbed his nose and thought about it, it was time to go back.

Although he is not in Yanzhou, the political affairs are running smoothly, which is also because of the new policy, each court has its own duties, and he only needs to control the overall situation.

Moreover, the communication of the post station is smooth, and in which palace you are stationed, important official documents will be delivered.

However, she originally hoped that Yongning could help her deal with political affairs, but she was a bit of a big deal and didn't look interested in political affairs at all, and it was said that she was with Gan all day long and became good sisters with Gan.

It's You Wu'er, who is not very well treated by her, but on the face, she can get by.

However, Gan and You Wuniang seem to have fought openly and secretly because You Wuniang often provoked in the past, but in fact, they are not by their side all the year round, and the two have been by their side for the longest time, why they became their concubines are the same experience, and the topics are the most, as if they have already become good sisters who talk about everything.

Therefore, Yongning just wants to pull one faction to fight another, divide the Gan family and You Wuniang, and with the Gan family's temperament, she naturally can't succeed.

However, Yongning deliberately ignored political affairs, and I don't know whether to force herself to go back to Yanzhou, or deliberately make a show and signal to herself that she has no ambitions, so as to change her impression in her mind and please herself?

Wu'er's letter, I don't know if it's to sue Yongning again, Yongning is now sneezing loudly is also a sin, think about it, You Wuniang, this guy, definitely has the potential to be an adulterous concubine, and Yongning's life is not necessarily easy.

Of course, You Wuniang knew that she was just a joke about her so-called black state, and it could be regarded as writing letters to relieve her boredom, and she would never tell the second person about these letters, if she really took it seriously, then she would definitely not be like this, and she had a grudge against the main palace, how could she feel that she was asking for her own death.

Lu Ning pondered amusefully, unfolded the letterhead, and then was slightly stunned, pondered slightly, and got up: "Go back to the palace!" ”

Accompanied by the big and small peaches and four swordsmen, they got off the teahouse and got into two carriages, and there was a whistle outside, and suddenly there were twenty or thirty heavily armored horsemen in front of and behind the carriage, and the pedestrians on the street were startled, and they didn't know where these horsemen came from.

And these horsemen, the horses are tall and wearing iron armor, but they are obviously women, but they are all extremely strong, not only the whole body is black with armor, but also the face is also wearing a green face and fangs hideous armor, only revealing cold eyes, on the helmet, there are long blood-red eagle feathers, more than 30 horsemen gathered together, murderous and cold.

These thirty-six mounted archers are female sharpshooters selected from the Savage Division.

In the past few months, Hu Shang has secretly moved his clan cronies inward, and this Khitan savage department is hunting for a living, that is, women, and since childhood, hunting tigers and killing leopards, it is somewhat difficult to turn into farmers after migrating to Qilu, so they are all incorporated into the army.

The women of the savage department were arranged as the internal guards of the palace, and Lu Ning traveled, and the personal guards no longer used the guards to guard the army, but used these savage women to shoot the most elite thirty-six people.

After all, no matter how tough the woman is, Lu Ning will not really let her go to the battlefield, just follow her as a vase guard.

On the contrary, the guards and pro-army were liberated, and daily hard training was much more meaningful than wandering around the country with their own side.

These thirty-six Khitan savage female cavalry shooters, although all of them are black, but there are two long red eagle feathers on their helmets, Lu Ning is called "Red Feather Guard", but in private, it is still customary to call them Khitan thirty-six female shooters.

The commander of the Red Feather Guard, the savage nano, is a beauty, but it is a beauty with a very rigid beauty, with knotted muscles, an explosive power and wild beauty.

In fact, the long blood red eagle feather of the Red Feather Guard, as a guard, is very frightening, and the thirty-six horsemen gathered together, it is even more majestic, but if you really go to the battlefield, it is a live target.

But the pedestrians on the long street around are all civilians, who have seen such a posture, and they are all scared.

In the teahouse, the group of literati who were debating fiercely shouted: "Come and see!" ”

The literati flocked to the window, but saw a group of black and heavily armored female knights running on the long street, with long carved feathers fluttering and jumping, converging into a flame like a torrent, and gradually moving away.

On both sides of the long street, pedestrians fell down in fright.

The literati were shocked.

"This, this is the Khitan thirty-six heavy armor female shooter?" A literati asked in a difficult tone.

It is no secret that King Qi has thirty-six Khitan female shooters around him, and it is even one of the black spots where some literati attack him for his absurdity.

But at this moment, seeing the power of the Khitan female archery with their own eyes, these weak people who have never seen the soldiers are shocked.

In the northern border, because the Khitan military horses once broke through Bianjing and plundered the emperor and concubine, the army and the people were more or less afraid of the Khitan, but the Khitan female shooter was naturally Meiji and the like in these literati concepts.

But at this moment, seeing with their own eyes the majesty of these Khitan women, these literati are all dumbfounded.

The literati who was the main debater of the "King of Qi Party" immediately said triumphantly: "Except for His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" Who can make Khitan barbarian men and women bend their knees to slavery? ”

The opposing debater was silent, and for a moment, he did not know how to refute.
