The people of Xincangzhou City are no longer strange to the jeep, when Lin Yue honked the horn all the way through the downtown area, all the pedestrians on the road spontaneously gave way to the jeep, because they knew that this magical iron guy was the car of the Jiang City Lord.
....
Pan Mei stared out of the car window, he remembered that he had been to Cangzhou four years ago, but now this magnificent city as prosperous as Bianjing in front of him was really the same city as the poor and dirty small city he saw at the beginning?
Jiang Yin took Pan Mei's words and deeds to heart, after all, this was a veteran with great achievements, and he was counting on recruiting him as the boss of the military department, so after seeing that Pan Mei seemed to be very interested in the landscape outside, Jiang Yin decided to woo this new employee.
"If General Pan has any leisure, he can travel to our new Cangzhou City another day, and now the city has just been newly built, although there are many imperfections, but it is generally able to operate like a large city, and the infrastructure and entertainment facilities are basically complete, which will surely make General Pan satisfied." Jiang Yin said eloquently.
"Incredible..."Pan Mei didn't know how to describe all this in front of him at the moment, he originally thought that the prosperity of Cangzhou that Jiang Yin wrote in the newspaper was just a flower in the mirror, but now he witnessed these things he thought was impossible, this kind of visual impact is still great for a middle-aged man like him.
The car drove smoothly forward, and around the central square, there was a straight avenue leading to the palace, and on both sides of the street, the shops gradually disappeared, and more often there were some large mansions.
But the doors of these houses are open, indicating that they are not inhabited.
Jiang Yin pointed to the houses on both sides of the road and said, "These houses will be rewarded to those who have the merit of following the dragon in the future." ”
Hearing Jiang Yin say this, Pan Mei was stunned.....
.........
Wang Shiyi had been preparing for this banquet since half a month ago.
Half a month ago, Jiang Yin proposed to the Ministry of Rites to hold a banquet for ministers, and the only requirement was to make this banquet high enough, even higher than the royal banquet in the Great Song Dynasty.
Wang Sizong, who is the governor of Cangzhou and the secretary of the New Song Dynasty National Rite Department, mobilized all the forces that the entire Cangzhou could mobilize after getting 50,000 taels of banquet funds, and finally barely scraped together the materials and manpower that could be comparable to the state banquet.
In addition to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, four of the six departments participated in the arrangement of this state banquet.
The food and goods brought by Jiang Yin from later generations were quickly transformed into capital in this era, and if according to the development of history, if a country wants to build a country, it is inevitable that bloody primitive accumulation will be avoided.
But the New Song Kingdom built by Jiang Yin was different, his primitive accumulation completely avoided plundering and looting, because the entire primitive accumulation of the New Song Kingdom came from modern times.
Grain, clothing, and salt, which were the most scarce things for the people of the Song Dynasty, could be wholesaled in large quantities in modern times, while the wild Chinese medicine collected by the Song people from the mountains could be sold at sky-high prices in modern times.
Coupled with Jiang Yin's simultaneous mining of diamond mines and gold mines, the exchange of the two eras, the capital is like a flood of crazy convergence in Cangzhou, a border city, coupled with Jiang Yin's strong support for businessmen, this is the current prosperous scene of New Cangzhou.
Wang Shiyi prepared hundreds of ingredients, and couldn't find a top chef, so he went to Dezhou, Lizhou, Qingzhou, the largest restaurants and restaurants in various places, and invited their chefs.
Since Jiang Yin arranged 20,000 forbidden troops into Cangzhou City, the number of soldiers and criminal departments suddenly surged, Lin Yue and Di Yan, one is the secretary of the military department, the other is the secretary of the criminal department, the two of them have stipulated a series of bills, the original unhealthy trend in Cangzhou, after the baptism of the two of them with iron-blooded means, suddenly became a positive, and the people are full of praise for the security of Cangzhou.
Of course, the management of public security is a trivial matter, and the display of force to the outside world is the guarantee for the new Song Dynasty to deter the Quartet.
Some time ago, Lin Yue took tank troops all over the world to train every day, and then fired artillery at the vicinity of Youzhou City every day, so that the Liao army in Youzhou did not dare to sleep all night, for fear that those dark green monsters would break through Youzhou City.
I heard that the lord of Liao has sent an envoy, and he will arrive in Cangzhou in a few days, asking to meet Jiang Yin, Jiang Yin also welcomes this, and now Cangzhou's military strength has long been out of the category of weakness, although it is still somewhat impossible to swallow the Song State and the Liao State, but in time, Jiang Yin is fully confident that he will control these two countries in his own hands...
.......
"You are the envoy of the Liao State?" At the gate of the imperial city, at the courtyard entrance of the Ministry of Rites office, Wang Shiyi carefully looked at the five Khitan people in front of him, their different hair, the clothes of the left side of the robe, the narrow sleeves of the round neck, and the long trousers put into the boots, which are indeed very Khitan characteristics, but the leader is a person who looks like a Han person.
"I am Han Derang, the general secretary of the Privy Council of the Liao State, and I came here this time to meet the new Song Dynasty Lord on the order of my Liao Lord." Han Derang said a little arrogantly.
Wang Shiyi looked at the envoy from the Liao State carefully, and then pointed to a team next to him and said: "Since it is a national envoy, then please take the trouble to line up here, and Wang Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites will see you one by one." ”
Han Derang was a little curious, and couldn't help but point to the people in line and ask, "Dare to ask who those people are in line?" ”
Wang Shiyi said lightly: "It's all some, missions from Goryeo and Wa Kingdom." ”
Han Derang was suddenly very unhappy, "How can I be compared to these small countries in Da Liao, this envoy is here this time, I have something important to discuss with your lord, you can arrange it quickly." ”
Wang Shiyi's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled without a smile: "Our lord went to pick up a few guests from afar, and he explained when he left, if he met the envoys of the Liao State, he must remind them of the fate of the 30,000 soldiers who came to the Song Realm to fight the grass Liao army." ”
When Han Derang heard this, his face suddenly changed, and now the reason why the Liao State did not dare to make too much action against this new Song State was precisely because the last time Yelu Huge's 30,000 grass army suffered a big loss, they wanted to find out who the current enemy was and how powerful it was, and then formulate a strategy.
"A certain family advises you not to pick on the thorns now, tonight Your Majesty will hold a banquet for the ministers, as a national envoy, Your Majesty will naturally invite you to the Taihe Hall to feast with the ministers, and at that time, Your Majesty will also discuss some major national affairs with you...."Wang Shiyi said with a meaningful smile.....
