And in the government hall of Menxia Province.

"The emperor wants to do the law of supervising the army? , Wouldn't it be necessary to reopen the department and select the corresponding people. ”

Zhao Zhang, the master and attendant who soon got the news, couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly. This time, the emperor plans to open a department from the two capitals at the same time, and he is completely independent of his origin. This is what Lin (Yan) Guanjun Rong said, as the deputy election, to say it personally. ”

One of the temple guards in charge of ventilating the news said the first word.

"Then do you know that before the emperor summoned Zheng Zongxian and Gai Fuji, did anyone say anything and report anything?"

Zhao Zhang then asked.

"It seems that I received a good news from Huang Chengxuan, but it is the news that the soldiers and horses of the relevant eastern capital have taken Chenzhou."

The people in the temple thought for a moment and then said.

"The soldiers and horses of the eastern capital, but the defense of the southeast of Dugi is under the command of Zhu San?。。"

Zhao Zhang asked immediately.

"It should be this one, but he's already newly sealed in the southeast. Specializing in the remnants of the old dynasty along the way. ”

The housekeeper in the temple quickly replied, and then added.

"No, last month, there were still people who played his personal and friendly troops, snatched the equipment, and now they have taken down the enemy of Chenzhou, presumably the emperor has some relief and reward."

"That's what happened."

Zhao Zhang couldn't help but take a deep breath, calming down the emotions in his chest, and then said to this housekeeper.

"You have done a good job in this matter, and you can take down five hundred pieces of silk at the back of my hall for walking from side to side; Continue to use things well in the future, and I will protect yourself with a greater future and benefits. ”

"The big Nayan (in the service) is gracious, and the villain doesn't dare to bear it. Only to serve with all your heart. ”

The people in the hall were overjoyed when they heard this, but they became more and more humble.

It was only when the priest in the hall respectfully bowed down and retreated that Zhao Zhang's warm and envious expression slowly turned into a dignified color.

Because of the news brought by this newly appointed palace priest, some of the details were actually unknown to him in advance, as if he was in the same court, but someone deliberately cut off the relevant sources to him;

And as a person in power in a high position, how can he not have the sensitivity to "know the autumn from a leaf" at all. If it weren't for his own layout and means in the three provinces, this palace priest would have taken the news as a sacrifice, but I was afraid that he would not know what kind of rights and wrongs and troubles he would have in the future.

After all, under the five-phase pattern in the political affairs hall of the new dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty, the situation is actually a little delicate.

As the highest-ranking person in the same peace, Wang Duo was only used to provide decorations for advice and seals for signature; It is no different from the clay wood sculptures in the temple to enjoy the incense.

The name of the executive prime minister who oversees the overall situation is Tai Lieutenant and Shang Shuling, but this is actually the general and good at the affairs of the army; In the hall under the corridor, there are many observers but few questions about other aspects.

Therefore, in the specific political affairs of the country, it is actually shared and coordinated by the remaining three people. Like what Cui Miao mastered in Tongping Zhangshi, it was mainly the internal and external inheritance of the imperial court, and the palace, the secretary, the three provinces in the palace, as well as the scholars of the pavilion and the courts, and the royal scholars.

And Zhao Zhang, as the second master and attendant of the five phases, mainly focused on the financial planning of the country and the performance of the court officials, as well as the corresponding extension of the supply and preparation affairs of all parties. However, there is also the Hubu Shangshu and Shangshu Zuo Cheng Huang Ge to share (check and balance) his responsibilities in the financial planning of the new dynasty

The crown prince Shaobao and the right servant of the middle book, Li Junru, is the main supervisor of the six departments, nine temples and five supervisors, and is in charge of the corresponding personnel transfers, rewards and punishments.

In addition, there is also the imperial historian Zheng Hanzhang to supervise the hundred officials and impeach the affairs of the Taibu Temple in the province. In addition to the five phases, it is a supernumerary member who joins in from time to time. This constitutes the daily pattern of 5+1.

However, since they each sat in the phase of the new dynasty, the relationship between them was as if they were covered with several layers of thick rice paper and gauze tents, and they could no longer be as blunt as in the past, or show the great gains and losses of the carriages and horses;

In the face of one cloud after another cloudy attitude and true and false faces, it is necessary to slowly negotiate, test and figure out the true intentions of the other party through the many subordinates around him.

Despite this, Zhao Zhang has already understood from the beginning that once the authority is in his hands, no one will think that he has too much and others are too little, and he will easily give up and accept it. Even if they don't want to fight themselves, the people who follow and gather together will try to push you to fight involuntarily.

As for those who do not want to fight, soon the congregation will defect and lose more things, or even all the means of survival; is like Yang Shigu, the left military division who was once known as the right-hand man of the Yellow King in the military government, is the best example.

This left army division is too obsessed with hatred for the court and the official army; also stuck to the beginning of the uprising of the righteous army, those who helped the world and swept away the evil spirits, and there were some big and empty general thoughts; and completely ignore the feelings and needs of the person in front of them; and even got closer and closer to the like-minded "monk".

Otherwise, if he can persist until now, I am afraid that he can continue to live above himself. However, what worries Zhao Zhang even more is the true attitude and trend of the Yellow King in the Daming Palace.

You must know that the Yellow King has lived in Da Nei for a long time since he ascended the throne, and for these old brothers who have come all the way, it is difficult to see them unless they are called; Naturally, it is no longer easy for people to get close to and figure out the corresponding situation and attitude; But it still seems to be firmly in control of most of the situation under his command.

Not to mention anything else, even if it is Shang Rang, the second person in the army who deserves to be righteous in the past, although now he is the prime minister's Shangshu order, and on behalf of the Yellow King, he commands the world's soldiers and horses; But under him, there were also the "two ancients" of the left and right privy envoys, each with a large army that was not directly under his control.

What's more, most of the horses and horses of the five armies, seven wings and eleven rates have been sent to Chang'an and even outside Gyeonggi Province by King Huang for some reason. Therefore, those who are now allowed to stay in the city are mainly used by the generals as guards of honor and guards to guard the homes.

As for the person in charge of the patrol of Chang'an, it is the confidant of King Huang, Meng Wei, the young Yin of Jingzhao and the ambassador of the patrol of Zhumen. And the one who manages the important things in the city is Jing Zhao Yin Huang Rui, one of the eight sons of the Yellow Gate, who oppresses him.

In addition, King Huang also established the Weihe Mansion as the choice of the internal forbidden guards, and expanded the guards to guard the three inner gates of the Gonghuan army; His nephew Lin Yan supervised and inspected the military envoys in the inner camp.

Now it is necessary to open a department to select soldiers, and to implement the law of supervising all departments of the army; But he did not consult with him, the prime minister who judged the branches, the households, and the salt and iron transport. Even Zhao Zhang couldn't help but have some kind of worry and fear about the Yellow King who was in the big house.

"Someone, send me a letter to the Eastern Capital."

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhang immediately commanded.

"Let people inquire again, which court is the newly favored lord."

- I'm the dividing line -

When the cold current blowing from the north over the Qinling Mountains turned into a wet and cold river wind in the land of Jingxiang.

Zhou Huai'an also resumed his inspection activities in the territory, mainly inspecting the preparation work of various fields, tunzhuang, organized and managed areas, labor camps, workshops, and mines before the beginning of winter, as well as collective labor projects and organizing on-site arrangements for large-scale projects during the winter slack season.

However, this time it was carried out separately in the company of different women, so as to gradually reflect their differences in the division of labor in public. Therefore, the one who accompanied the most during this period was Cao Hongyao, who was the little housewife.

In the gloomy weather, it is difficult to hide the enthusiasm and excitement of the corresponding onlookers; Because today is the production practice day of the monthly governor, and Zhou Huai'an also led a group of subordinates to the scene to participate in the corresponding labor demonstration.

In fact, not only the Metropolitan Governor's Office, but all the soldiers stationed in the non-combat-ready state must use their spare time under the leadership of the battalion and regimental generals to participate in some local collective labor, such as the nearby harvest and seeding, opening rivers and digging canals, and other agricultural production activities, which is also one of the iron laws that cannot be shaken since the establishment of the Taiping Army.

Of course, this is also a way to avoid members of the army from being too detached from the people and ignorant of the hardships and hardships of the people's livelihood; Emphasizing the glory of creating value through production and labor and the hard-won life of food and clothing, and cherishing the opportunities and benefits in front of them.

Of course, as the leader of the Taiping Metropolitan Governor's Office, Zhou Huai'an will also appear on these occasions regularly, and spend a few hours or half a day for the corresponding engineering projects and collective labor, sweating a whole body, and carrying out corresponding symbolic and demonstrative personal work.

Although this is a bit of a showmanship; But in this special era of feudal centralization; If the superior doesn't even bother to do the basic show and express his position, then don't expect to form a leading role for the people below, whether it is up or down, or to do what they like.

After all, even the emperors of the previous feudal dynasties had to go to the suburbs to worship the first farmers before the spring of February 2 every year, and also bring them to the borrowed fields to carry out personal cultivation to show the way of valuing agriculture and persuading farmers. Zhou Huai'an just has a little more tricks than them.

Although the tools are carefully selected for size and weight, and the selected areas are inspected and cleaned in advance, the sweat soaked in a continuous labor, as well as the fatigue and soreness of the arms and body, are the real results.

Of course, Zhou Huai'an's performance and work progress are even better than others; The reason is also very simple, thanks to the exercise of running around the African continent in the early years, coupled with the relatively sophisticated auxiliary calculation means in the body, to allocate and control the various output and physical consumption levels.

In contrast, among the civilian staff, the best performer was actually the eldest of the large training institutes, the first of the Agricultural College, and the first of the Cangcao Zuoju Tortoise Meng; Of course, this is said to have something to do with his habit of soaking in the fields when he is older.

In stark contrast, his old friend is close to him, a missionary consultant, a literary and historical editor, and a school inspector; She looked fair-skinned and pampered, and it was a disaster to wield her tools; The clumsy couple of times almost hit his own feet.

In the end, after changing a few tools, I honestly went to the drum to carry water.

The second fastest to get started is Fan Xuan, who is the governor of Xiangzhou and sentenced the people to Cao Shi, who seems to have done many local research in his early years and experienced many local customs and customs; Whether it is a shovel, a rake, a pickaxe, or a spade, it is difficult to imagine that he is a person who is a senior staff member of many festivals.

The hardest performer was Shi Liuxun, the right judge of Nong Cao and the director of Guangfu; Even if he looks quite rusty, he doesn't care about his fifties and fate; Sweating like rain and struggling to work the hoe, people can't help but worry about some kind of metaphysical probability that they will fly out of their hands and fall on whose head they will fall on.

However, Yang Shigu, who is also an old rebel and a scholar from a poor family, behaves in a decent and somewhat traditional farming and reading family, bows to the muddy mud of the fields without losing the number of courtesies, and is happy and happy, and hard work.

Even if the others are old, they honestly serve tea and water or something, and they can be regarded as doing their best to play this exemplary live show. It can be said that all living beings are in general, and the differences in their origins and life experiences are clearly presented from this work.
