Vertical arch hall. Guo Wei, Wang Jun, Shang Hongqian, Bai Wenke and the three envoys Wang Zhang are all there.

"Since the first month of the second year of Qianyou, the forbidden army has been issued according to this table, and the whole army will be told to it!" Liu Chengyou personally stamped the seal on an album, looked around, and said to the ministers.

Although his face was calm, the pressure in his heart increased a little. Re-establishing the forbidden army is another strategy to appease the army, and since the command of the two yadu, the money and Lusu have been improved. In the forbidden army, although the main pawns have been reduced, the auxiliary pawns still need to be paid, and after this reduction and increase, the consumption of the military has increased.

This is still the case of poor countries and poor people. Taking the squire as an example, the monthly salary is only 150 taels and 20 stones, which is shabby.

So far, the largest expenditure of the Han Dynasty is the cost of raising officials and soldiers. The treasury is still in a state of tight equilibrium.

The imperial court is poor, so it is basically a tacit attitude towards the officials and nobles and their own property, even if the situation of using power for personal gain has become the norm.

After getting Liu Chengyou's approval, the others were quite calm, but Wang Zhang had an obvious look of pain on his face, and the bitterness seemed to have increased a little more. However, for a long time, Wang Zhang still rarely has discounts in terms of raising the army.

"How's the morale of the military lately?" Liu Chengyou asked, his eyes glancing at Shang Hongqian and Bai Wenke.

Bai Wenke bowed very steadily and said good words: "This time the army is reorganized, Your Majesty has thought well, prepared properly, the soldiers all know Your Majesty's love for soldiers, and there are all the princes who are diligent in comforting and implementing, so the army's heart is still stable?" ”

"The soldiers who have been laid off, how about resentment?"

"The court is properly settled, how can there be complaints?" Bai Wenke responded.

When the words fell, Shang Hongqian smiled and assured Liu Chengyou: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister has sent a message, and if there are those who are not convinced, they will come to the minister and will be convinced!" ”

Regarding Shang Hongqian's statement, the corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth grinned slightly. looked as usual, thought for a moment, and said to a few people: "This time the army is reorganized, the secretaries have worked hard, I remember it in my heart, and after the fact, I will be rewarded!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's all the work of the ministers." Guo Wei was struggling, and his tired expression was still submissive.

"Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, although the affairs of the whole army are stable now, and then continue the matter, you must not be negligent!" Liu Chengyou said again.

"Yes!"

At the end of the imperial meeting in one sentence, Liu Chengyou left Wang Zhang behind and consulted him on the autumn tax matter. According to his previous edict, the autumn tax was levied at the beginning of October, and now it is halfway through November. The Central Plains Prefectures, especially the Gyeonggi Prefecture, have successively sent some money and grain to Tokyo, and more will need to be delivered after the beginning of spring.

The imperial court was poor and destitute, and it attached great importance to money and food. After discussing with Wang Zhang for a short time, the two once again figured out a policy, in order to solve the labor of transporting grain in various state capitals, the imperial court set up transshipment envoys in various prefectures, specializing in the transportation of summer and autumn grain in various prefectures, coordinating scheduling, saving manpower, and improving efficiency.

As always, it was implemented from Gyeonggi County, which had a high degree of control from the imperial court. Up to now, basically any new policies and decrees of the imperial court are first tried to see the effect of Gyeonggi County, which has become a habit of Liu Chengyou's governance.

After Wang Zhang left, Liu Chengyou picked up a roster and looked at it seriously, with a slight look of expectation on his face, as if he was at ease. This is the list of generals and colonies of the front division of the palace and the guard department, involving the generals and military positions that have been transferred so far.

Sun Li, Xiang Xun, Han Tong, Ma Quanyi, Li Chongju...... These names came into view one by one, which was enough to reassure Liu Chengyou. It is supplemented by Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Yanjin, and Wang Hanlun.

Among the two armies, Liu Chengyou saw more names that were both familiar and unfamiliar, all of which were among the low-level officers, such as Han Lingkun and Wang Xianqi...... Generally speaking, this reorganization of the army is a process of upgrading the forbidden army.

Of course, even if young generals are vigorously promoted, the army, in a short period of time, is not the final say of young people. For those heroes and generals, Liu Chengyou does not completely have the mentality of suppression, especially those who are in the prime of life, have gone through the battlefield, or brave, or generals, and are still reused.

Similar to Wang Quanbin, Wang Yanchao, Shi Yanchao, Wang Yin, Du Hanhui, Wang Yansheng, Bai Yanyu, Guo Chong, Zhao Hongyin...... These people, for a long time to come, will still be the backbone of the Han Forbidden Army.

......

In the afternoon, it was rare to be lazy, not staying in the palace, getting rid of the cumbersome government, Liu Chengyou greeted the chamberlain, and followed him out of the palace for a walk.

He didn't go far, but around the vertical arch hall. Although the scale of Biangong is not large, the palace is less luxurious. In the midst of the people, full of sight, the palace shadows are heavy, there is such a trance, Liu Chengyou suddenly realized the humility and insignificance of the emperor.

Speaking of which, Liu Chengyou is not very familiar with the entire Biangong, since he succeeded to the throne, his scope of activities has always been those palaces, and even the palace garden is rarely visited. If he is left alone in the palace to be scared, he will definitely be lost.

It is in the middle of winter, the winter moon is in full swing, the weather is getting colder, and the winter scenery around the palace is really not very good, especially when you are tired of seeing.

With a sip of hot steam in the palm of his hand, Liu Chengyou shrank under the robe that he had been wearing for a month and a half, and looked back at the hanging arch hall. The frost is cold, the mist is shrouded, but it is clearly visible, and the solemn palace has no ornate decorations, but a smell of disrepair.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chengyou suddenly became interested, pointed to the palace, and said with emotion on his face: "I don't think the palace is gorgeous, but I am proud of my frugality!" ”

Hearing his emotion, Zhang Dejun, who was waiting beside him, immediately stepped forward and greeted him: "The frugality of the official family has long been famous in the government and the opposition, and the citizens of Tokyo are praising the benevolence of the official family!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou immediately asked: "You have also lived in the palace for a long time, waiting for the emperor, where did you hear the words of the market?" ”

Zhang Dejun was stunned for a moment, he just took the opportunity to cater to the emperor, how did he know that Liu Chengyou reacted so seriously, he gave a slightly more reasonable answer: "The slave maid has heard of the hundred officials who have met him, and he has discussed it in private. ”

Liu Chengyou smiled playfully, but let him go, and his mood was slightly better. His frugality, although it is not completely sincere, but as the son of heaven, he has "suffered" himself like this, and if he can't win a good reputation, it will be a great loss.

In fact, there is no isolation between Biangong and the city of Tokyo, and news from the palace is also occasionally reported. Thanks to the propaganda in place, the people's praise for Liu Chengyou is really a lot, and the character of the Holy Lord Mingjun has almost been erected.

Seeing that Liu Chengyou didn't dig deeper, Zhang Dejun was also relieved, he was afraid of this official family, and he suddenly came to ask again, he listened to those courtiers.

"It's almost the winter solstice!" Suddenly, Liu Chengyou asked.

"Back to the official's house, there are still five days left, and the winter solstice is coming!" Zhang Dejun hurriedly replied.

"This year's winter solstice, I should be happy with the people!" Liu Chengyou said.

In this era, for the winter solstice, the solar term, but it is very important, and the people in the court celebrate the exchanges, just like the New Year's Festival.
