The first day of the festival ended without a hitch.

It works great.

The reaction of the people made Zhang Ming feel confident.

Many enemies spread rumors in the city, but the effect was the opposite, helping Zhang Ming test the public opinion base of the emperor.

The next day, there will be a military parade.

Zhang Ming was on the square and invited many people.

Sun Ce, Cao Ang and others all climbed the tower.

Drumming.

The army began to be reviewed.

Armies passed.

There were many people watching.

Zhang Ming didn't have much feeling, and he saw the military parades of later generations, Dongfeng 21D, and J-20.

Others, however, don't think so.

Sun Ce's heart was surging, he liked this, he liked the majestic army.

Zhang Ming's parade team was very neat and murderous.

Cao Ang was very worried, Zhang Ming's strength was too strong, and they had to face it head-on.

In addition, there are many people who come to watch.

More than 100,000 people.

"This is our army."

"With this lion here, the beard doesn't dare to come."

"Beard? As many as come, we will kill as many as we want. ”

"Thank you, Marquis Liao."

"The Marquis of Liao should be the emperor."

The people looked at it and their hearts were very happy.

Such an army made them very relieved.

When this army is there, they will be able to live a down-to-earth life.

The people saw everything Zhang Ming did.

The military parade only lasted about an hour, because the number of troops was not large, although they practiced some formations, but it was only a small army.

The parade ended, and the crowd dispersed.

Zhang Ming asked Tian Feng to entertain the guests who came from afar, and then went back by himself.

During the two-day ceremony, Zhang Ming did a very good job of uniting internally and deterring externally.

"After this time, I believe it will be easier to borrow money in the future."

"In later generations of US imperialism, the dollar can become a hard currency, not because of its strong economic strength, but because of its strong military strength."

Zhang Ming still got the problem to the money, without money, many things can't be done.

He has shown strength, and the next time he issues Treasury bonds, it will go well.

Zhang Ming went back, but left a lot of legends.

It was held in the morning, and the whole city was lively in the afternoon.

"It's safe here, and I'm no longer afraid of the enemy."

"Yuan Shao was killed by the Marquis of Liao."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Liaohou is mighty."

The people were happy and lively.

Many people celebrated.

On this day, it was as if they were celebrating a holiday.

Many people have never been to a teahouse, and in order to listen to people talk about the military parade, they actually enter the teahouse and buy a cup of tea to drink.

Where the newspaper is read, there are also many people.

"With our army here, our good life can always be lived."

"Who says it's not, let me tell you, today I stood in that square and watched, the army rushed over, and the momentum was terrifying, and I almost peed on the spot."

"Hahaha."

"I still saw Liaohou from afar, Liaohou was wearing the python robe that others said before, and he faintly had the air of an emperor."

"Really? has the air of an emperor, so it is right to follow the Marquis of Liao. ”

"I want my baby to be a soldier and help Liaohou fight the world."

This wave of operations, but the people are very supportive.

Many people knew that Zhang Ming had a powerful army in his hands.

This army, make them proud, give them peace of mind.

This kind of thing is wonderful.

At this time, Zhang Ming's prestige among the people was getting higher and higher.

Although it is only like this in Youzhou, as time goes by, the hearts of the people in other states will be withdrawn little by little.

In Xuzhou, Zhang Ming was also very famous through Tao Qian and Cao Cao, and in the hearts of the people, he was a hero.

Now, if they are given a stable and richer life than before, they will surely return to their hearts soon.

Qingzhou, Zhang Ming has been in business for a long time, and the people are used to the current life, and of course life is getting better.

Now, it is Jizhou and the state, and it takes a certain amount of time to deal with it slowly.

At this time, the state was still cleaning up a large number of gentry.

Many of the squires, who were still local overlords, controlled the common people.

Zhang Ming sent officials to the township and to Zhuangzi, just to get rid of them and break the original ruling order.

The marquis ceremony is also over.

Zhang Ming began to get busy instead.

"Has the money arrived?"

That night, Chen Yang came to report on work.

"Cao Ang sent someone to send 11 million money, and in addition to paying the million money, they also have to buy a batch of Quyuan plows."

Chu Xiaoran nodded, and then said, "Okay, all this money will be used to repair the road." ”

"In addition, I will give you some money, you go to Luo Quan to borrow three million, and directly let him deduct the money from the Tanglin Restaurant, gather a group of craftsmen, and find a way to reduce the cost of cement, now at this price, Lao Tzu can't afford to repair it even if he owns the whole world."

Zhang Ming has a full set of cement technology, but the ancient process level is too poor, the cost is too high, and there is no mechanized production.

A large amount of cement needs to be fired manually, and the cost of digging coal alone is not known to be high.

Therefore, Zhang Ming is very distressed, to get a large amount of cement, the technology must be constantly innovated.

Three million, enough for craftsmen to burn for a while.

As soon as the cost comes down, Zhang Ming will start building a concrete road.

"Yes, my lord."

"In addition, Sun Ce's money may arrive later, and you will take it all when it arrives, don't let Tian Feng collect it first."

Tian Feng has saved a lot of money now, and he is afraid that Zhang Ming will spend it, so he has redeemed part of the treasury bonds in advance.

The interest on redemption is also paid directly at the rate of one year's interest.

In this regard, Zhang Ming can't help it, let him get it, anyway, now that Zhang Ming has made it together, the money is still enough.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this money."

"Lord, in fact, if you don't let go of those tens of thousands of captives, we can save a lot of money."

Zhang Ming fought in the past few years and captured a lot of troops.

These captives, he directly asked them to build roads.

"We have to let them go, and give them houses, give them land, let them settle down, they have food to survive, they can pay taxes, and it will be good for us."

Zhang Ming promised them, one year is one year, two years is two years, there is no money when they work, and they are full of food, and they are all arranged for them after they are released.

These road builders are also very well managed, and although they are surrendered, they do not think about escaping.

They also served as soldiers to eat, there was no danger in building roads, and food was better than when they were building roads.

Therefore, the team that builds the road is very efficient.

When Zhang Ming released them, many people were still very reluctant.

Of course, Zhang Ming doesn't want them, they must disperse to the local area and resume production.

Why didn't Zhang Ming take them to Xuzhou, Qingzhou, give them money, and let them continue to build roads?

No, the economy of Qingzhou and Xuzhou should also develop, recruit workers over there, pay them there, and make them rich.

Chen Yang didn't talk much, and went to work honestly.

Zhang Ming also focused entirely on development, and the recruitment and training of the army were scattered to a few subordinates.
