Walking out of Zhang Jue's Zhennan Generalissimo's Mansion, Zhu Haiwang and others rode horses and led dozens of soldiers along the street through two intersections and then westward, and then went out of Jingzhou Zicheng.

The street in front of me suddenly seemed to be full of people.

Many people were walking in the streets.

From the way they dress, you can see the difference in their status. Only now, although there are many people in the Great Song Dynasty who wear shabby clothes, it is rare to see those wearing tattered clothes.

Zhu Haiwang looked at the endless flow of people, and suddenly sighed: "I never thought that the Great Song Dynasty would have such a grand scene in just a few years. ”

Although he came from a wealthy family before and had never suffered much, he had always seen the suffering of the people in Dayu City.

At that time, Jiangnan West Road was still under the occupation of the Yuan army, and the taxes were extremely heavy, and the Yuan army often set up arson and abuse. The county magistrate of Da Yucheng is another corrupt official who deceives his subordinates and conceals it. It's good that the people of Dayu City can not starve to death, and those who can dress quite decently are all very well-founded families. The streets were full of people dressed in patched rags, how could they be as well dressed as they are now.

This may seem like a small matter, but the fact that such a shift can take place across the country speaks volumes.

If it weren't for Zhao Dongting's division of land system, if it weren't for his expansion of shipping, the introduction of new varieties of agricultural products, and his vigorous encouragement of the development of commerce, agriculture, and animal husbandry in various places, the Great Song Dynasty would not have become what it is now in just ten years. Perhaps, it may not be possible for decades.

In terms of people's livelihood alone, the current Southern Song Dynasty is probably not the same as when it was at its peak in the Northern and Southern Song dynasties.

Gu Junying and Ge Zaixin both nodded beside them, and Gu Junying said: "This is all the credit of the emperor, and it is a blessing for the world to be able to appear such a bright monarch as the emperor in Sheji." ”

Zhu Haiwang nodded heavily. Even now, when he recalled Zhao Dongting's whimsical ideas in the imperial study, he still felt surprised and admired.

Those ideas, I'm afraid the emperor can come up with them. I really don't know how the emperor did it.

Of course, he didn't know that Zhao Dongting had crossed over from the later generations, and many policies had been copied along the lines of later generations.

Although later generations are very different from this era, there are undoubtedly many policies that can be applied.

We'll see.

Before I knew it, I went out of the inner city of Jingzhou again.

to the outer city.

The outer city is much larger than the inner city, and it is not as prosperous as the inner city.

In the end, the inner city gathers most of the wealthy people in Jingzhou City, and the storefronts in the inner city are much more decent than those in the outer city.

This is not because there is a problem with the way the officials in Jingzhou have developed. But the development of the city must be from the inside out, even if it is the future generations of Zhao Dongting.

In this era, the sub-city, the inner city, the outer city, and even the acropolis, etc., are actually equivalent to the difference between the first, second, and third rings of later generations.

Every city will have its relatively prosperous locations, often the inner city.

Although the outer city is not as antique as the inner city, and the attic is complicated, it looks pretty good.

If the inner city is equivalent to the ancient town of later generations, then the outer city is probably equivalent to the ancient village where the population is more prosperous.

The floor is paved with bluestone slabs.

The war horses of Zhu Haiwang and others stepped on the street, and the horseshoes and the ground collided with each other to make a clattering sound, which was quite rhythmic. Because of the slow speed of the horse, it also looks quite leisurely.

When the people in the streets saw their uniforms, they spontaneously moved towards the side of the street. There is no fear in his eyes.

In recent years, the reputation of the Great Song Forbidden Army in China can be described as excellent. It cannot be said that no soldiers have served as tigers, but most of those soldiers have not been able to get rid of their crimes since then.

The DPRK has a military intelligence department, a sky net, and a supervision ministry, and the army also has a ministry of supervision. This is no joke.

Zhao Dongting's treatment of the Great Song Forbidden Army was excellent, and the management was relatively strict. They were treated as if they were real professional soldiers.

Nowadays, it is rare to see a Great Song Dynasty soldier rampage on the street, let alone robbing people's daughters.

And the people's eyes with a little admiration naturally made Zhu Haiwang, Gu Junying and others feel quite comfortable.

This kind of respect is what they fought the front line with blood and tears. It was they who were defending the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

to the east side of the outer city.

There is the Lang Furong River passing through the city.

There are mountains in the distance.

As soon as you get out of the city, you can see the Zhennan Military Region stretching to the waist of the Great Song Dynasty at the foot of the mountain.

White walls and black tiles surround the entire huge military region.

When Zhu Haiwang saw this scene, there was a faint look of excitement in his eyes.

The Zhennan Military Region has tens of thousands of soldiers, and this large military region does not look much different from the city.

There are red flags flying high in the Zhennan Military Region.

It was the national flag of the Great Song Dynasty.

Gu Junying pointed to the military region with some pride, and said to Zhu Hai: "Commander Zhu, that is our Zhennan Military Region!" ”

Zhu Haiwang nodded, suddenly patted his horse, and galloped towards the Zhennan Military Region.

And the closer you get to the Zhennan Military Region, the more you will be surprised by this large military camp.

This is not to say that the Zhennan Military Region is much larger than the previous military region, but it looks really much more majestic.

The gate of the military region is made of marble, more than ten meters wide, and the four big characters of the Zhennan Military Region are engraved on it.

There are also a few small words below, which are mentioned by the royal pen himself.

Under the door, there are several soldiers holding dragon guns and wearing black armor.

They all stood straight.

There is also an access curfew in front of the door, which is blocked by a horizontal bar. In front of the bar, there is also the rejection of horses.

There are only paths on both sides that allow people to walk together.

There is a plaque next to the rejection of the horse, and the military region is heavy, and idlers are exempted.

Just this posture is afraid that ordinary people will not easily come to this military region.

Zhu Haiwang and the others galloped to a stop before rejecting the horse, and then let the horse move forward slowly.

Gu Junying took out his waist card and showed it to the guards guarding the door.

The guards all saluted him and shouted to the general.

Gu Junying nodded lightly and took Zhu Haiwang and the others inside.

These rules and arrangements, of course, are not something that people of this era can come up with, but they are all Zhao Dongting's suggestions.

The Zhenxi Military Region of Chongqing Prefecture, the Zhenbei Military Region of Jiangling Prefecture, and the Northern Military Region of Longxing Prefecture are all similar to this. It's just that not all of them are built on the mountain.

When he arrived in the military region, Zhu Haiwang's eyes showed even more surprise.

He had only been to the Feilong Military Region in Changsha City before, maybe it wasn't because it was located on the frontier, and compared with the Zhennan Military Region, he always felt a little bit worse.

As soon as you enter, you will find a flat square, and there are stone steps that wind up behind the square to lead to a place where you can't see it.

As far as the eye can see, there are several brick buildings with several floors high.

This kind of red brick building has not yet been popularized among the people. It looks surprisingly good.

And the most eye-catching thing is the golden dragon carved above the brick gate. is lifelike, and also competes for the supreme lord of the Great Song Dynasty.

Ge Zaixin introduced Zhu Haiwang next to him: "This is the main building of our military region. Usually, the generals of the military district are here. ”

Zhu Haiwang nodded lightly and said with emotion: "When we go to Dali in the future, we will also build such a military region." ”

His eyes were full of yearning.

Although he clearly knew that the construction of such a military region would cost a lot of money, after seeing the Zhennan Military Region, Zhu Haiwang certainly did not want the Dali Military Region to fall behind.

He is not the future marshal of the Dali Military Region, but he can also propose it to the future marshal.

It's just that he doesn't know that Zhao Dongting actually has new plans for the military region.

With the different situations faced by the Great Song Dynasty, the previous layout of several military regions is obviously no longer particularly suitable for the current Great Song Dynasty.

In the Zhennan Military District, Zhu Haiwang followed Gu Junying and others to slowly go up the mountainside.

Along the way, you can see the school yard, shooting range, canteen, dormitory and so on in the military district. It was Ge Zaixin who was introducing Zhu Haiwang.

Finally, Zhu Haiwang saw the soldiers of the Tianyan Army who were practicing in a certain school field.

There are 10,000 people lined up to practice, and it can be said that the momentum is mighty.

Seeing that Ge Zaixin arrived, a general immediately ran over and arched his hand: "Commander Ge!" ”

This person is the commander of the fifth regiment of the Heavenly Lonely Army. Now he is Ge Zaixin's deputy, helping Ge Zaixin manage the Tianyan Army.

"Captain Rong!"

Ge Zaixin also dismounted and returned the salute, then looked at Zhu Haiwang and introduced: "This is the commander of our Tianyan Army, Zhu Haiwang and Commander Zhu. ”

The head of the regiment surnamed Rong was slightly stunned.
