Chapter 215: Preparing for the National Day 2

Listening to Zhou Dong's words, Liu Shihai seemed to want to say something, but his mouth opened and opened, and in the end he didn't say anything, and finally he had to bow his head in frustration, standing there silently praying for his nephew who was not a weapon

"Gossip, we're all done, let's talk about business, I told you about the National Day as early as last year, after this year's preparations, our preliminary preparations have been almost ready, so I decided that on the first day of May next year, Emperor Taizu officially announced to the world that the day of enthronement as the emperor is set as the National Day, so I specially found you to come to discuss some specific details of this matter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The first point, our national emblem needs to be officially hung on the four gates of the palace, the second is the national flag-raising ceremony, the Ministry of War in the forbidden army to select a hundred tall and slender soldiers to form the national flag guard, and then select a flag bearer and two flag guards, and finally select two hundred soldiers to form a military band, their military uniforms must not wear the combat uniforms we usually wear in the army, the flag guard, the military band and the military uniforms of the three flag bearers must be beautiful, straight, It looks like a dress, cool, these are faces, you must have done this for me. ”

"The ministers obey."

"Then there is the question of the venue of the National Day, Xu Liang, the street in front of the Suzaku Gate, renamed Suzaku Avenue from today, and build an Imperial Square in front of the Suzaku Gate, the flagpole of the national flag is set up at the junction of Suzaku Street and the Imperial Square, in the center of the Imperial Square, build a monument to the heroes of the empire, directly behind the monument, and then build an imperial soul shrine, specially used to pay tribute to the heroes of the empire who died in the war, remember a little national emblem, the national flag, the monument to the heroes of the empire, The center line of the Imperial Shrine must be in a straight line. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers have written it down, but Your Majesty, some of the places you mentioned are all residential buildings, I don't know what Your Majesty means ......." Xu Liang wrote down all what Zhao Xu said on his jade wat board, and bowed to Zhao Xu and said

Listening to Xu Liang's question, Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Hubu Liuqing's family." ”

"The minister is here." Because it was a business matter, Liu Shihai had to put his sadness aside first, and when he heard Zhao Xu call him, Liu Shihai hurriedly stepped forward to answer

"It's up to you to communicate with the people in the city, whether they want money or a house, as long as it's not a sky-high price, you can give it to them."

"Obey." Liu Shihai bowed down and took the order

"Ministry of Rites, if there is no other country to come to watch, it is to say that we are sorry for our own preparations these days, and inform the surrounding countries of the letter of state, so that those neighboring countries, Goryeo, Fusang, Jiaozhi, Dali, Angkor, Bagan, Tubo, and Urros, especially the two countries of Gaochang Uighur and Dongkera Khanate, must invite them, and I suddenly thought of a good deal to do with them." Speaking of this, an irrepressible green light suddenly appeared in Zhao Xu's eyes, yes, it was a greedy light. Zhao Xu said that the trade with the Gaochang Uighur Khanate and the Eastern Kera Khanate is the arms trade, this trade is a very profitable trade in any era, especially the Gaochang Uighur State and the Eastern Kerak State, which are currently on the verge of extinction, as long as there is a glimmer of life to save their country and in danger, they will not hesitate to obtain this only glimmer of life, and since Zhao Xu came to this timeline, due to the vigorous development of artillery, the Song Dynasty army Almost all of the original heavy weapons with wooden structures were eliminated from the military, such as return guns, bed crossbows, chain bed crossbows, multi-layer bed crossbows, folding trebuchets and other heavy weapons, all of which withdrew from the stage of history because of the wide application of artillery in the army, but even if these weapons that were not used in the Great Song Dynasty were placed in those countries without artillery technology, they were still extremely advanced and powerful weapons and equipment, so Zhao Xu suddenly came up with these weapons and equipment that his country could no longer use. Buy all of them from the Uighur Kingdom of Gaochang and the Eastern Kera Kingdom to help them defend themselves against foreign enemies and protect the country and the people. Okay, I know you don't believe it, in fact, I don't believe it either, since that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth, Zhao Xu's purpose in selling weapons to these two countries is indeed to increase the strength of these two countries, but his ultimate goal is to continuously increase the consumption of the vital forces between these three countries, in order to sweep away those difficult stumbling blocks when he moves westward in the future, but he doesn't say too much to these ministers in front of him now, And the ministers in front of Zhao Xu saw that his Emperor Majesty was unwilling to elaborate, so they didn't ask, but this was not because Zhao Xu didn't trust these henchmen of his own, but because even if they were told the reason for this now, these ministers might not necessarily understand how much the weapon could be sold

After listening to Zhao Xu's instructions, Zheng Junyan bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers have written it down." ”

"Then now it's all that remains for this last thing, the parade! The main purpose of our military parade in our country is to deter, deter the surrounding countries, I think maybe you will ask, our entire empire is now so powerful, why should we be afraid of those countries to provoke us, if they dare to come to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, we wave our army to destroy them, do this, we are indeed happy to enmity and hatred, but what should we do with those newly occupied lands, our country has gone through the war of destroying Western Xia and Jin Liao in the past few years, and those newly occupied lands are so vast, we need to restore the vitality there, Relocate the people, recuperate, and the newly occupied land needs a large number of elite troops to garrison, which also greatly increases the consumption of our country's military spending, although our family has a big business, but it can not be wasted unlimitedly, how much effort Liu Aiqing has paid for the empire's taxes and the increase in the treasury, and now people are taking care of the imperial commercial houses and the tax payment mechanism throughout the country so well-organized, speaking of which, I should reward Liu Qing's family. What Zhao Xu said was completely the practice of slapping a sweet date, although everyone can see it, but this is indeed the way to use people

"A minister is a sinful person, how dare he ask for His Majesty's reward, and besides, these are what a courtier should do." Liu Shihai said to Zhao Xu with some trepidation and a little happiness (to be continued.) )
