Chapter 207: Promotion and Fortune (Text)

On the seventh day of the fifth month of the year of Daliang Yishu, the Shoushan Palace issued a decree to stand in front of each gate and the city, publicize the people's viewing, and order the official to copy the mansion and reprint all the roads.

It means that there are quite twists and turns in national affairs, the past and the present are decided, so the time of the heavens, the people's hearts, the special purpose to change the yuan "Taiping", take the meaning of the Liang of the Southern Dynasty "the four seas are crossed to Thailand, the world is Xianping", it is the first year of Taiping, and the republic of 1967.

But for others, the new era name also means a new turning point and a new beginning.

More than half a month after the Ministry of War returned the letter and did not deliberately embarrass and slap the face, I once again received the edict and came to the old city of Xiaochang'an.

This time, it was finally not carried out in front of the unknown side hall, but instead outside the Chongtian Hall where the main court was located.

Although it is also under the several high platforms of the heavens and the earth, it can only stand on the square for a glimpse from a distance, as the court hall of the theoretical national center,

Behind us are the Privy Council and the Cabinet of Ministers, the eastern and western governments, the vast complexes of buildings where the highest authorities are located, and the huge groups of officials and pavilions waiting under the small doors of the various places.

On the left and right are the guards of honor who stand on the shift, the so-called royal guards and the trained station horses, running through the entire square in sparse columns, holding flags, holding swords, axes, halberds, gold, melons, bones and other honor weapons.

Therefore, the scene is no longer two or three kittens are deserted, standing under the bright bronze beam golden crane that has been tested, and the person who pronounces the edict to us has also been replaced by the corresponding Privy Council decree, the young eunuch in the palace and a certain Hanlin scholar

It's just that the corresponding people involved have also shrunk to seven people, and according to the rank received, I was ranked at the bottom of the position, and those who stood in front of me were more or less juniors with military bosses, sons and nephews of important ministers in the court, and the likes of newcomers in the army shrouded in the halo of identity and title.

So they had a bit of a self-contained taste, and while they waited in the gatehouse outside the square, they politely and coldly distanced me and the last of the five short fellows outside their small group, and then whispered to each other to make friends.

It also seems to be a tradition as a capital and a metropolis,

For the people of Guangfu in the narrow sense, the twelve districts except for the five cities can only be regarded as the places of the countrymen; For the people of Guangfu in the broad sense, including the 12 districts, the rest of the region also belongs to another region, which gives people a sense of superiority.

For the common people of Jinai, the foreign people and the vassals of the sea domain are the concept of another world. As for the seven paths in the ridge relative to the outside of the ridge, it is another level of existence, which is where the superiority and happiness of the people of Daliang as a Taiping dog lies.

Therefore, the other short and fat fellow, after touching the wall a few times with his face at the feast, could only talk to me a little abruptly.

He reported his family name Huang Mingtao, the word Tiefu, and now he is recruiting the division in Jinghu, serving in the Tai'an Army under his jurisdiction, and the official worships the soldiers and horses in the right wing, but he is a rare low-level soldier head, and this time he can come to Guangfu to receive it, but it is from the work of breaking the enemy recommended by the general manager of the road, therefore, a mouthful of the outside of the ridge is particularly obvious.

However, although his speech and demeanor are a little unclear, and he looks like a fertile plain, when it comes to the experience of the battle formation, he is like a few treasures.

And he eats the best bite of the word, and he also likes to collect food from all over the world, so he has a nickname called Gluttonous Huang, this time he came to Guangfu with the intention of enjoying it, so he finally had some common language with me, and immediately chatted and got a lot closer.

As the most obvious change in identity, when I was in the doorway, there was a special internal official who repeatedly explained the precautions to me, and at the same time sent us a soup introduction and a sweat towel basin, as the grace of the palace province, so as not to lose the spirit in the hot weather and lose the ceremony in front of the palace.

Because I want to wear a full set of uniforms, although it is the texture of fine silk inside, but standing under the sun, there is still only a thick and stuffy heat to describe, of course, I suspect more, this is actually stained with some people's light,

But aside from these small details,

Being able to receive promotion here also means that we have made a big stride in our careers, and we have directly crossed the ranks of "military officials", "non-commissioned officers" and "officers", and entered the "generals".

"I am commanded to be diligent in the king's affairs...... Prepare for a thousand cows,"

In addition to the official Jilu who is prepared by Qianniu, there is also Xun turned to the cavalry lieutenant and scattered to the ranger general, but it is slightly higher than my expectations.

Then according to the usual rules, he was given a small group of shallow scarlet robes and plain towels with a few collars, a black light armor made inside, a grass gold hook, a scarlet fish bag, a gold belt, and ten pieces (hooks) and other fragments.

It can be regarded as having crossed the important threshold of "turning from green to red" for traditional military attachés.

In Jun Rongzhi's band music, there were only a few figures left, thanking and worshipping in the direction where the throne of the Son of Heaven was located, and this simple ceremony in front of the palace was completed.

Then he took the edict and went to the military department to exchange for the corresponding letter documents and new things of trust, the original seal and the identity card were replaced with silver, and the ornament of the body card also changed from the ordinary tiger face to an elephant.

As for the further copper fish and wood deeds, they can only be obtained before they are sent out with the army.

I am not the only one who is awarded, because there are both individuals and the whole group who participate in the battle, and they ascend to heaven together, but they are not qualified to enter the Great Inner Thanksgiving, and can only receive them in the military camp or at home.

What's more, I justifiably have a corresponding scale of pro-army and troops, as long as I am in office for one day, they also have official status and military positions, which are completely different from the previous pretense of recruiting the southeast to recruit the executive and belong to my name.

Back home, it's another celebration, and let's not talk about it.

Almost on the same day, the person I was waiting for finally came to the door, and my cheap little brother Lu Tanni introduced an old man with a sincere face to him.

His name is Zhu Mian, and he is a patriarch of the clan court, although he is only a peripheral kind of patriarch who only stands when voting, but he represents the three feudal lords of the Zhu family, the Xu family, and the Lu family in East Borneo, showing a certain attitude of admitting defeat and surrendering.

Most of my conditions were agreed to in a very low profile, including the complete abandonment of those who stood on the table, the surrender of all their wealth and property to me, more property resources in East Borneo, the corresponding supply and agency agreements, the quota for the export of labor from East and West Borneo, additional investment in the name of the Borneo Association, the land and sea transport alliance, and so on.

As a sign of sincerity and sincerity, the three will deposit a large amount of money into the Huiyuan, and in this way, I find that I don't seem to have any reason to do it anymore, no matter what their actual attitude and mood are, at least there are enough sensible and sensible people in the three feudal domains to know the basic balance between gain and loss.

Other intentions, such as sending children to serve under my command, hoping to join the trade route to Yizhou in the north, I also preliminarily agreed, as for the hint that there is a woman of the right age in the family, dignified and virtuous to treat the word boudoir or something, thank you for not being sensitive.

"I thought I had just opened up a new market......

When he left, the enigmatic creature of Qiē came out from behind the screen, and said with some joy.

"But I didn't expect it, but even the source of the next family's goods, so I sent it to the door......"

"But we have to be careful and fully prepared,......"

I reminded.

"This time it's just a matter of getting ahead...... You can't expect to keep it in for too long."

"I have a ...... in my heart"

She was right

"The group of people resettled in Jilong Mountain can also be released to ......"

In fact, with the arrival of Luo Kedi, it is equivalent to indirectly helping my family to open up a new world of financial resources, that is, participating in the smuggling activities against the north with Yizhou as a transit, yes, it is smuggling activities.

With the fall of Dengzhou Town, the Southern Dynasties lost their last important point of intervention in the Northland, and also lost a large number of smuggling channels and networks in the Northland with Dengzhou Town as the core.

In fact, although the military progress was slow and repeated from time to time, the Southern Dynasties never gave up, and the military towns in Liangzhejiang and Fujian, which were indirectly subordinate to the Southern Dynasties and became semi-colonies, are the best examples of the economic infiltration outside the Lingwai and even in the North.

Previously, Dengzhou Town played the role of this link and bridgehead, but after the loss of this important sea and land channel, the mutual needs that had been cultivated between the north and the south for a long time did not disappear.

Many of these special products are irreplaceable by each other, not to mention the demand for luxury goods from the upper class and feudal towns in the Northern Dynasties.

Although it is also possible to recruit a company through the five roads and carry out it on land, it is far less advantageous than the sea road in terms of time, cost and efficiency.

As the Liangshankou on the periphery of Dengzhou in the past, no matter how small it is, it also has a correspondingly intact port and a river system that goes deep into the interior.

Therefore, I was able to grasp the dominance of Liangshan as a result, and theoretically had quite a broad prospect, for Liangshan's Luo Zhongkun, of course, it was a life-saving straw, but for me, it was tantamount to obtaining a new breakthrough and upside.

And as the origin of raw materials delivered to the door,

Although East Borneo is known for its abundance, it is not known for its obvious characteristics, all of which are rice, timber, coconut, sugar beet, sugar cane, etc., the most popular bulk products, the only ones that are taken out are tobacco, eucommia gum and several plant dyes.

Although the production cost is low, as a typical slave plantation economy, the capacity of self-production and self-sale is limited, and it is not easy to open up sales channels to the outside world.

As the premise of this qiē, I must firmly grasp the opportunities and prospects before others discover them, and obtain some irreplaceable position, so that it is possible to gain some kind of dominance and resistance among those pretenders who are late to realization.

After all, if it weren't for the mistake of the Roque, the dark line left by the enigmatic creature in the early years, and found me, this opportunity would have been obtained by others, and it would have been a different situation and outcome.
