The original newspaper was sent out free of charge by the General Administration Department, but now after asking for money, many old people in the General Administration Department thought that it was estimated that few people would ask for it.

The result, of course, leaves them dumbfounded.

In addition to the officials and nobles, there are also some sensitive businessmen.

The real big businessmen know that if they want to make money, the thighs of the imperial court must be tightened. So they look to the newspapers for business opportunities.

The reason why Jiang Chuan asked "Zhongzhou Daily" to publish a commendation order to Xia Junze, and gave Xia Junze's nephews a special case that could be recommended to enter the court as an official, was to praise Xia Junze as a model and let others see the benefits of supporting the new policy.

Although, purely from a simple point of view, Xia Junze is also in order to maintain his current position and do his duty as a courtier.

The effect that Jiang Chuan wants is that you vote for my peach, and I repay you for Li.

After saying this, Jiang Chuan asked again: "What about the other officials?" ”

Qi Xuan said directly: "The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Court, and the General Administration Department have all exchanged fiat currencies ranging from tens of taels to hundreds of taels. The other yamen are basically still in a wait-and-see state. ”

Jiang Chuan was silent, these yamen are now controlled by their own people, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the General Administration Department are now under the control of Liu Ji, and the Lifan Yuan is under the control of Su Qin, so it is not surprising that there is this result.

The other yamen did not move, and the purpose of one was nothing more than to intend to take a wait-and-see attitude, and the second was to use this negative attitude to confront.

Jiang Chuan's heart was full of anger, but he quickly suppressed it.

He was prepared for this situation.

These people really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, they don't come to the dark if they don't see the coffin, do they really think that the law doesn't blame the public?

Since you want to play, this king will have a good time with you to see how long you can last.

"Call me the mountain armor and the white pasture." Jiang Chuan commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will go and inform the two generals."

Qi Xuan immediately agreed, then turned around and walked out.

has been by Jiang Chuan's side for a long time, and she now understands Jiang Chuan's temper very well.

Once the army is to be used, it means that many people will be unlucky.

"Wait, Chen Zhaojun has also looked for it." Qi Xuan, who was walking out, was stopped by Jiang Chuan again.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After a while, a sonorous report came from outside the door: "Report, Bai Mu, the commander of the new First Army, reports!" ”

"Come in!" Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Bai Mu strode in, wearing a new military uniform on his tall body, he looked very heroic, coupled with the general star on his shoulders, the armed belt around his waist, and the shiny leather boots under his feet, which was full of the mighty temperament of a soldier.

Now the kneeling salute has been abolished in the new army, and all the subordinates are all raised hands.

Jiang Chuan asked the generals in the army to raise their hands when they saw him, and it was strictly forbidden to bow down.

In addition to Liu Ji, Su Qin, and Xia Junze, the rest of the officials in the court still had to kneel and bow when they saw Jiang Chuan.

"Your Highness, Bai Mu is here by order." Bai Mu walked up to Jiang Chuan, saluted cleanly, and said loudly.

"Rite over!"

"Yes!" Only then did Bai Mu put down his arm.

Jiang Chuan looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "You kid has been a lot darker lately, and the sky in the capital has made you like this?" ”

Bai Mu's whole person looks much thinner than before, but his two eyes are embarrassed, and the whole person looks more energetic.

"It's not dark, it's not good. The new First Army now has heavy training tasks and a tight schedule, and if it wants to become an army as soon as possible, it must be tense up and down and twisted into a rope. If you want the soldiers below to do it, I, the commander, have to do it first. Bai Mu said with a smile.

No matter how majestic he was below, Bai Mu became a simple boy as soon as he arrived in front of Jiang Chuan.

"Well, a soldier is the courage of a general, and it will be the soul of a soldier. You are the only one who leads by example, and you are doing the right thing. The characteristics of warfare under the new type of firearms are completely different from those of the past, and as a military commander, you have to understand and familiarize yourself with them from top to bottom, so that you can really have a target in wartime. Jiang Chuan patted Bai Mu's shoulder and said approvingly.

"Yes, Bai Mu will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" Bai Mu saluted again and said loudly.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shanjia had not yet arrived, the two talked about the training of the new First Army.

"The deadline I gave you is to complete the first two phases of training at the end of October, are you confident?" Jiang Chuan finally asked in a deep voice.

Bai Mu thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "Have confidence!" ”

After finishing speaking, he asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, is there any news about the British mercenary army?" ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said: "The latest news came from the Black Ice Platform yesterday, the British mercenary army has now retreated to Quanzhou, but it seems that it has no intention of withdrawing, but has been stationed. The analysis of the Black Ice Observatory concluded that the British mercenary army was waiting for reinforcements. So we don't have much time to train you, so in November you will lead your troops south and teach the British a lesson before their reinforcements arrive. ”

Bai Mu's expression became solemn, but he quickly became excited, and said loudly: "Your Highness, you can rest assured." The officers and men of the New First Army are waiting to clean up this group of Brits. When the time comes, these British will definitely regret coming to the Zhongzhou Continent. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "I believe in you, and I also believe in the New First Army." However, it is still necessary to step up training, sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime. Any support you need, just bring it up, I'm all satisfied. I have only one request, that the first battle of the New First Army must be won cleanly, beautifully, and completely in the name of the New First Army. ”

"I promise not to disappoint Your Highness! When the time comes, Bai Mu is willing to make a military order! Bai Mu said loudly.

At this time, Shanjia's voice also came from outside the door: "Shanjia, commander of the Beijing garrison and commander of the 38th Army, has been ordered to come to report!" ”

After Shanjia came, Jiang Chuan asked about the recent adaptation and training, and then asked Qi Xuan to tell the two of them again.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuan said: "This is the situation, the two of you will each send a team to patrol the main streets of the capital in a squad. Anyone who found that the settlement was made with gold, silver or copper coins was immediately warned to the shops concerned, requiring them not to accept gold or silver, and to settle in fiat currency. If you still commit it again the second time, you can directly close the store. If someone violently stops them, they can shoot them. In addition, if you dare to refuse to accept fiat currency, you will be warned for the first time. If it is a repeat offense, it will be arrested directly and the store will be sealed. ”

After hearing this, Shanjia and Bai Mu straightened their chests and said in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the last general will definitely not disappoint Your Highness." ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "In addition, the new First Army and the Beijing garrison army are also approaching the day of military salaries. This time, it will be issued in fiat currency. However, it was clear to the soldiers that they could exchange gold and silver at any time, but they could not use gold or silver for shopping. ”

The two nodded and took the order, and Jiang Chuan explained some details before letting the two go.

As soon as the two left, Chen Zhaojun, the person in charge of the capital of the Black Ice Terrace, came.

"Have you found out the people behind Ninghou Mo Tiancong?" Jiang Chuan asked straight to the point.

"It's basically clear, it's the righteousness of the clan Wucheng Wang Ji." Chen Zhaojun said in a deep voice.

Wucheng Wang Jifa? Jiang Chuan quickly remembered the image of a kind and kind old man.
