Chapter Seventy-Four: Gold and Silver Coins (2)
"It just so happens that both of you are here, and this king has something to tell you."
"Please let the Lord know." Song Yiming said.
"This king intends to separate the soldiers of each province from the soldiers of Tuntian, and the soldiers of the government will be soldiers, and the soldiers of Tuntian will be soldiers; All the Tuntian soldiers are under the unified management of the royal government, and all the soldiers who have been disabled in the battle are all arranged to serve in the military positions among the Tuntian soldiers......"
While listening to Guo Qi's words, Song Yiming thought: "The lord is the right to divide the army!" However, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers in these seven prefectures, so I don't know how the main guild will arrange it? ”
"Yiming? Yiming? What do you think? Guo Qi asked at the stunned Song Yiming.
"I didn't think much about it." Song Yiming hurriedly replied.
Guo Qi saw through Song Yiming's thoughts, smiled and said: "Yiming, now this king gives you two choices, the first is to continue to manage the soldiers of Panshi, Purun, and Baili; Second, manage all the tuntian soldiers. ”
"Lord, you know me, now these soldiers in the three provinces also have a captain of Zhichong, and I don't know how to lead soldiers to fight, I don't care about this soldier, just take care of the Tuntian soldiers!" Song Yiming replied immediately.
"It's refreshing to agree!" Guo Qi said with a smile: "Then this king will meet your request." ”
"Song Yiming obeyed the order, and from now on, he will also serve as the lieutenant of Tuntian, and manage all the Tuntian military mansions in Yongzhou."
"Humble and commanded, the lord is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Song Yiming and Ling Jing spent another hour to make a detailed report on Guo Qi's other things during his absence in Yongcheng, in general, Yongzhou has been developing steadily during this time, but the construction of various infrastructure projects has slowed down due to the winter.
"Lord Wang, drink a cup of ginseng tea to relieve your fatigue!"
Guo Qi, who was pondering, was pulled back to reality by a soft voice.
"It's you who Leng Yue!" Guo Qi glanced at Leng Yue, picked up the ginseng tea and said.
Leng Yue took the initiative to walk behind Guo Qi, rubbed Guo Qi's shoulders and said, "Lord Wang, the slave and maid see that you are full of sorrow, have you encountered any difficulties?" Maybe the slave can help you with an idea? ”
Guo Qi smiled bitterly: "In the battle of Huangyang Pass, although most of the remnants of the Zhifu Department were annihilated, they still let Zhifu run away; The strength and armament of our army are basically all exposed to Xirong, and he will attack the Xirong army on the other day, and I am afraid that it will not be able to give it a sudden blow with the power of the bow and crossbow, and with the strong strength of Xirong, it will be very difficult for our army to resist the city and hold on......"
Leng Yue heard from Guo Qi's tone that Guo Qi was worried in his heart.
Leng Yue rubbed Guo Qi's shoulders and said: "Slaves and maids don't understand military affairs, and these slaves and maids that the prince said don't understand very well; But it seems that this war should be similar to everyone's, since we know that people are going to fight us, why wait for them to fight! ”
As soon as Leng Yue's words fell, Guo Qi suddenly brightened up as if he had seen the sun through the clouds.
"Ha, ha, ha...... Well said, well said; Leng Yue, you are really the king's female Zhuge ah! Guo Qi grabbed Leng Yue's hand, dragged Leng Yue in front of him, and held him in his arms.
Leng Yue, who was sitting on Guo Qi's lap, was instantly stunned, looking at Leng Yue's face like a fish and a goose, Guo Qi couldn't help but want to kiss it, Leng Yue broke free from Guo Qi's embrace and avoided it from a distance.
Leng Yue, whose face was flushed, had just run to the door of the study when she heard Guo Qi say; "Wait a minute."
"Lord Wang, do you have anything else?" Leng Yue asked with a red face.
"This king really has a matter to be handed over to you."
"Please show me." Leng Yue avoided Guo Qi from a distance.
"Netim, you should have heard of it!"
"Hmmm! The Inner Court Department is a special establishment of the imperial court, which is engaged in gathering intelligence, investigating spies, plotting against enemy generals, etc., and also has the power to take charge of prisons and patrol arrests; Directly obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"That's right, in fact, in addition to what you said, the Inner Court Division also has the power to supervise hundreds of officials." Guo Qi looked at Leng Yue and said, "This king wants to set up an 'Inner Court Division' in Yongzhou, and this 'Inner Court Division' this king wants to hand it over to you." ”
"I ......" Leng Yue immediately vetoed: "I can't." ”
"You can do it." Guo Qi said with a resolute face: "If the king says you can do it, you can do it; In fact, this king has been thinking about this for more than a day or two; In addition to you, this king is not at ease with anyone, and you can first go to the pro-soldier mansion to select some people, or you can recruit them yourself, as for how much it costs, this king will meet you all. ”
"Lord Wang, you have talked about this, if the slave and maid don't agree again, is it too ignorant to lift." Leng Yue smiled bitterly.
"The king believes that you are up to the task; Besides, according to your talent, you don't want to stay in the king's palace in obscurity for the rest of your life! This is a chance for this king to give you, and it is also a chance for yourself, this king doesn't want you to be just a handmaid of this king in this life, can you understand this king's mind? ”
Leng Yue nodded: "The slave maid asks the prince to give a name to this organization." ”
"It doesn't matter what it's called, you can just look at it yourself."
"This organization is to be in the dark, like the shadow of the prince; The slave is called the 'Shadow Division'! ”
"Okay, let's call it that!" Guo Qi finally made a decision: "This king hopes that the Shadow Division will be formed as soon as possible, first establish strongholds in various parts of Yongzhou, and then expand to the surrounding areas......"
No one thought that the Shadow Division, which would make the world fearful in the future, was actually formed in Guo Qi's words, and for a long time, only a very small number of people in the Shadow Division knew that in a very short period of time, the tentacles of the Shadow Division would reach all over the world.
Leng Yue's ability to work is not to say, since taking over the task of forming the Shadow Division, in just a few days, Leng Yue has pulled up the shelf of the Shadow Division; Leng Yue selected thirty people from the pro-soldier mansion, most of them were born as sentinels and had a very good foundation.
And each of them has a few unique skills, and since these people have entered the Shadow Division, they have since disappeared from this world; They changed their names and identities, and even in the Shadow Division's top-secret files, they only had a code name, and they didn't know each other's identities to prevent them from being exposed......
Four days later, inside the chamber.
Ling Jing reported: "My lord, according to the previous discussion, the humble position has been ordered to be created, the style of a batch of gold and silver coins. ”
"Bring it up to the big guys!"
After the gold and silver coins were brought up, Ling Jing introduced: "My lord, my lords; The gold and silver coins are divided into one coin, three coins, five coins and one yuan, a total of eight currency values; The size of each currency is different, and the currency value is engraved on it, it is easy to distinguish clearly, and the patterns on it are also different, respectively, with four patterns of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum to represent ......"
"Yes, very good; In the future, it will be cast according to this style, and it should be circulated in Yongzhou as soon as possible. ”
In fact, the amount of gold and silver in one yuan is only eighty percent, that is, there are only eight coins of gold and silver, otherwise the gold and silver are too soft and difficult to manufacture, and there is fire consumption in coinage; But even if you remove these, you can make a lot of money from this minting.
