To this day, the Shao State court has suffered heavy losses, and it can hardly be called a country.

Obviously, there are very few courtiers and royal families who have fled.

Most of the royal nobles and officials of important institutions of the imperial court died tragically under the butcher's knife because they believed in Wu Jun's promise.

Such an emperor who has rebelled from the nobility of the whole country can also be called an emperor?

In Wei Zhongquan's heart, there is not much respect.

On the other hand, the Emperor Shao on the other side, seeing Wei Zhongquan looking like he was on an equal footing, he was more or less embarrassed, somehow, as an emperor, he felt that the general opposite gave him a faint coercion.

After all, he had a request for someone, so he didn't want to show any displeasure, so he had to look for a topic and said, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the generalissimo personally led the army to come this time?" ”

How many soldiers and horses did you bring?

Wei Zhongquan was a little surprised, then looked at the centurion who welcomed Emperor Shao down the mountain, and asked, "You didn't report to His Majesty Emperor Shao in detail?" ”

"This ......"

The centurion was speechless, very nervous in his heart, and at the same time very puzzled, he obviously said everything on the mountain, including the current location of the Blue Dragon Legion, and which cities the Wu army had captured, as long as it was the news he knew, he said it in detail.

Just when you got off the mountain, you forgot?

The centurion would never understand that this was not forgotten by Emperor Shao at all, but he wanted to find a topic as a breakthrough to resolve the discomfort in his heart and continue to talk.

"His Majesty Emperor Shao doesn't have to worry, although he only brought 50,000 soldiers this time, he brought enough weapons and horses. Now that the cavalry is in front, the infantry has also arrived one after another, and although the armor team behind is slower, it is not a big deal. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Shao was relieved.

The implication of Wei Zhongquan's words was that the Blue Dragon Legion had its own plans, so he didn't have to worry about it.

"Your Majesty Emperor Shao, I heard that the Shao army still has 50,000 soldiers left, I don't know if it can be handed over to the command of this commander? He recovered the lost territory of Shao State one day and returned it to His Majesty, I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Your army has come thousands of miles to help, my Shao country is grateful, your army is still so dedicated to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, how can my Shao monarchs and ministers hide their secrets? With only 50,000 remnants, if the generalissimo can use it, use it. ”

Don't say hello to Gongzi An, Emperor Shao said directly.

At this time, what he thought in his heart was that if the 50,000 soldiers of Shao State acted alone, they would not be able to set off any storms anyway, so it was better to hand them over to the command of the generals of Cangguo and throw them into the battlefield to regain the lost territory.

If you are lucky enough to survive, then after these days of fighting side by side with the Blue Dragon Legion, you will definitely be able to deepen the bond between the two soldiers, and maybe you can also learn some tactics and knowledge from the Cang Army, so that this remnant army will be defeated and completely transformed into an elite division.

Regarding Emperor Shao's answer, Wei Zhongquan had already expected it in his heart, but there were not many surprises and surprises, he just nodded, and asked the guards around him to arrange for Shao Guojun's ministers to rest.

At this point, Cangguo intervened in the battle of Wu.

……

On March 20, Yang Mu received a letter.

It was a letter from the Empress Nguyen.

It's a letter, not a letter.

The letters are about state affairs, and the letters are more personal in nature.

The content in his heart made Yang Mu fall into contemplation.

The general content is that spring is passing in a blink of an eye, and I want to invite Yang Mu to visit Ruan Guo and discuss state affairs.

Friendly visit?

In Yang Mu's mind, such a word came to mind.

But, immediately, he hesitated again.

Is this genuine?

There are two possibilities.

The first is that after the Empress Ruan Guo went back, she had a long drought and longed for Yulu, and euphemistically expressed her intention to let him go to Ruan Guo.

The second is to confuse him, which is equivalent to a smoke bomb, making him mistakenly think that the Empress of Ruan Guo did not hold a grudge against him and would not be an enemy of Cangguo.

What does that mean exactly?

Only time will tell.

Anyway, no matter what the situation is, he will never go to Ruan Guo, and if he is detained in Ruan Guo, it will be a lot of fun.

Then he turned his attention to internal affairs.

It's not that the 50,000 Qinglong Legion on the battlefield of Shao State is not important, but today, the nerves of the Cangguo court are no longer restrained by the war of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and several major departments perform their duties, and Yang Mu will take a look at the battle report every once in a while, and the rest will be fine.

Receiving the indemnity of the Jin land, and accepting the land ceded by the Jin state, became the first thing.

By the beginning of April, the treaty signed by the Second Cangcheng Alliance had basically been implemented.

The territory of Cangguo has undergone tremendous changes, a large number of eastern areas of the Jin Kingdom, as well as one-third of the central area of Wangji, have been taken into the hands of Cangguo in a direct or replacement way, and a group of grassroots officials have been selected from the last imperial examination, rushed to various places to take office, and implement effective rule.

Immediately afterwards, just as in the annexation of Dong State, a series of policies such as the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs were implemented, and the policy of transforming the people began.

At the same time, the most important thing is the implementation of the big cangcoin.

After more than a month of hurrying and catching up, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households worked together to successfully issue the Dacang coin.

At present, the first batch of large cangcheng coins have been circulated on a small scale in Cangcheng, because the court and the government have strong credibility among the people, so the acceptance of the common people is relatively high, even if most people are waiting, but as time goes by, we find that this kind of paper money can be the same as silver, with the same purchasing power, and it is convenient and beautiful to use, so more and more people take the initiative to exchange silver for paper money.

Almost at the same time, the Ministry of Commerce required all foreign merchants to use paper money to settle when purchasing goods from the Ministry of Commerce, and at the same time ordered the major money banks not to use silver tickets, and began to squeeze the money in a planned way.

In May, a battle report came from the battlefield of Shao, saying that the Wu army was overwhelmed by the pressure of both Chu and Mang, and gradually withdrew from Shao under the strong attack and pressure of the Qinglong Army, except for a few important cities in the south, many cities, including Shaocheng, have been recovered.

In the middle of the year, the court of Cangguo issued an edict, declaring that the Dacang coin was the only legal currency of the Cangguo, restricting the circulation of silver, and the people could exchange silver for Dacang paper money in the Dacang Money Village opened by the local government.

After hearing the news, the Yue Kingdom, the Song Kingdom, the Lin Kingdom, the Shao Kingdom, the Dan Kingdom, the Zhu Kingdom, and the Cai Kingdom also expressed their positions one after another, recognizing the "paper money" as the legal circulation currency in China.

The so-called "paper money" is, of course, the big cang.

It's just that it is quite inappropriate for a country to use another country's currency, and call it "Dacang coin", so under Yang Mu's careful consideration, the word "Dacang coin" was removed from the banknotes issued later, and the name was given to all countries to play freely, whatever they wanted.

After paper money became the legal currency of these countries, its status was equal to that of silver, which means that the people could pay taxes with paper money, and the treasury could also hoard large cang coins, if in the process of trading, someone refused to accept large cang coins, it was a criminal act.

Correspondingly, these countries quickly tasted the sweetness.

Because paper money has become the legal currency in China, more and more people use it, and the value is fixed at the same time, and the purchasing power in Cangguo is about the same, so in the trade with the Ministry of Commerce of Cangguo, there is no need to trouble large-scale exchange of paper money, and there is no need to calculate the exchange rate between silver and Dacang currency over and over again, and the priority is invisibly obtained, and the merchants of these countries have made a lot of money.

As a result, a trend of hoarding paper money gradually became popular among caravans from various countries.
