Chapter 579: Congratulations
The canonization ceremony of King Wei was held in Luoyang Palace.
Almost the Shence Mansion, the Shence Army, the Five Military Mansions, the Five Military Camps, and even the Governors of the Five Towns have arrived.
Qin Shaoyou put on the crown of Tongtian, wore a costume, and roughly walked through the process, followed by Wu Zetian's banquet in the palace.
Everyone's expressions, needless to say, the vast majority of people looked happy, this time Qin Shaoyou became the king of Wei, and everyone's identity rose with the tide.
Wang Ju, who is known as the head of foreign affairs of the Qin family, is almost in Luoyang, similar to the prime minister, all of Qin Shaoyou's strategies are drawn up by him, his identity is transcendent, naturally he is sitting on Qin Shaoyou's side, and he really hopes that Qin Shaoyou can go further. So today he was in a surprisingly good mood, and he was actually drunk when he didn't drink at all.
Not to mention Fang Jing, the general of the Shence Army holds the most elite strength of the Qin Army, and even if the five military camps are built, don't forget, the backbone of the entire five military camps and middle and high-level military attaches are all transferred from the Shence Army, and these people are all Fang Jing's disciples and grandchildren, even if someone goes to the five military camps to become a general, but when he sees Fang Jing, who dares to show Fang Jing that everyone is equal, not to bow obediently, and obediently call him a general.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei is now getting heavier and heavier, and Fang Jing, Qin Shaoyou's lackey, is naturally even more disdainful, so Fang Jing accompanied Wang Ju and was greedy for many cups.
Yang Jiong is sitting with a group of Kanto scholars, as the speaker of the council hall, Yang Jiong is very satisfied, this position of speaker looks bland on the surface, and it is not a formal official position, but Yang Jiong himself knows how much power the council hall has. Although a few days ago, some councillors from the five towns were added to the council, but the number was quite large. There are only ten people in each town, to put it mildly, they hardly affect the overall situation, Yang Jiong wanders among the giants and scholars, it can be said that he is at ease, the Kwantung scholars, and even the giants in Henan, almost all of them have regarded him as the spokesperson of their own interests, and because of this, the status of the Yang family. has been faintly above the four surnames in Kanto, and when everyone mentions the Yang family, it is no longer listed alongside the other three surnames.
Yang Jiong cherishes the situation in front of him the most, he knows very well that there is the Shence Mansion and Qin Shaoyou, and there is only the council hall, without these. He will not be the speaker, the Yang family is still just the most powerful landlord in Kanto, and as for the other clans, they are probably the same. Those with higher status often have people in the family to discuss matters in the council, although everyone is soft-spoken, but they can always find people to unite and make their voices heard. Even if you can't change all the laws and regulations according to your own interests, you can at least do it at any time. Those decrees don't hurt themselves.
Coupled with the development of industry and commerce in recent years, not only make a group of giants stand out, but also let many scholars take the opportunity to transform, these scholars rely on the wealth accumulated over the generations, with their mountains and forests and land, as well as unparalleled connections, often higher than others, in the expansion of industry and commerce in Henan Province, the interests are also the most.
It is precisely because of the change in the way of earning profits, when the scholars find that what they are doing now is ten times more than the income of the poor grange in the past, and their thinking has also begun to change, and this change has made them no longer cling to the so-called theory of inaction in the scriptures. Pastoral economy, the easiest to be born is indeed the idea of inaction, the so-called self-sufficiency, I wear my own land, eat in the field, live in my own home, as long as I stick to the foundation of my ancestors, you can be worry-free, so more people appreciate the chrysanthemum under the east fence, more people like to be quiet and do nothing, in their opinion, the world does not need to change anything, just lie down well. But once the rise of commerce, this means that the relationship between people and people's interests began to become closer and closer, in this close relationship there are both cooperation and competition, if the price of my silk is more expensive than yours, if you do not respond and adjust immediately, then it may be a zero-sum ending, you occupy all the market, and I directly the workshop closed, all the money invested before was lost, all efforts were in vain. Your suit is better and more popular than mine, which means that next year you will encroach on my market share and even kick me out of this business.
The sudden change in the atmosphere has also led to almost everyone has changed from idle to sharp and enterprising, how to do better than others, how to save themselves and defeat competitors at the same time, the children of the scholar clan have no heart to study the scriptures and history, but the latest business theories have become their goals.
These people are natural aristocrats, and for the giants who became rich overnight, they only know how to make money, and they only need to know this. However, in addition to making money, the children of this kind of family will think, and will think about how money circulates, how money is earned, what is the market, and what is comparative advantage.
As soon as they think about it, it means that all kinds of great works appear, but the most fashionable thing now is precisely the theoretical knowledge of business and engineering, after all, this is the foundation of making a fortune, some of them stand out and have become masters of business and commerce, and even Taiping University opened a business school, which specially invited such famous experts to teach.
Their heads...... has been changed again, since there are no more monarchs and ministers in their minds, and there is no longer the so-called quiet inaction, naturally there is not much interest, to pay attention to the so-called Son of Heaven and Empress Wei who are far away in Chang'an, their interest is only in the circulation of money, only in the theory of various markets, how to make a fortune, how to earn more benefits.
It's just that they don't want to pay attention to it, but Chang'an's Son of Heaven and Empress Wei, but they are always overwhelmed with the appearance of various faces, every time, they make Henan Mansion uneasy, this kind of insecurity, originally unique to the people of Henan Mansion, their wealth, is really accumulated too fast, too easy, it is precisely because of this unprecedented way of accumulating wealth, but also let them have a strong sense of insecurity, a person for generations, only a few thousand dollars in their own jar, but suddenly, But it suddenly increased to hundreds of thousands of dollars, what does this mean? This means that everything that is happening in front of you is as if it is unreal, as if it were a dream, it is a sweet dream. But deep in their sensitive and fragile hearts, they are even more panicked, since it is a sweet dream, there is always a day to wake up, since it is a dream, there is always a time to break, they know that they are like dolls walking at night with gold ingots, and the imperial court thousands of miles away has too many privileges, it seems that they only need a will, an edict. and all that they have accumulated today will be wiped out.
These scholars represented by Yang Jiong, these famous disciples of the scripture heirlooms, originally they were the most convinced of the monarch and the ministers, but now, they don't know that it is imperceptible, deep in their hearts, they only wish that they are far away from the Son of Heaven, and only hope that the so-called holy monarch will never appear.
Wei Hou made several moves. They all made them scared, and fortunately...... Qin Shaoyou saved the day every time, and many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and now His Royal Highness has become the king of Wei. This is a good sign.
It's just that more people are faintly worried in this happy banquet, today is the King of Wei, what about tomorrow? As long as Merriam-Webster is around. As long as the court in Chang'an is still ......
Being prepared for danger in times of peace is always something that these people with brains have to think about, everyone drinks. whispered and laughed, but in the depths of his eyes, there was still worry.
Perhaps at this time, a strange thought popped up in someone's mind: "Perhaps...... How nice it would be if there was no Son of Heaven......"
This thought...... It is absurd, it is ridiculous, it is a whim, but once it comes out, it seems to have taken root and sprouted, and it always lingers.

Wang Fangyi was already drunk.
He was originally a good drinker, but since he took charge of the Fifth Military Camp, he has been riddled with countless trivial matters, so he can't find any gap to drink, and there is no way to violate the ban of the Fifth Military Camp.
After all...... He knew that although he was the governor, under the governor of the five military camps, from the generals of each army, to the deputy generals, to the middle and lower military attachés, almost all of them were transferred from the Shence Army.
He had gradually gotten used to dealing with the people of the Divine Army, who were more old-fashioned, well-behaved, and few words, but they were very strong in execution.
Because of this, as the governor, he did not dare to easily violate military regulations, and at the same time, he ...... He liked the duties of the governor of the Fifth Military Camp very much.
Of course, he is a famous general, but because he is a famous general, just like heroes always love swords and horses, Wang Fangyi loves good soldiers.
What good soldiers? When Wang Fangyi was fighting in the Western Regions, no matter what military orders were issued, there must be a margin, for example, he needed a military horse to rush to a certain place urgently, obviously he knew that he had to arrive within three hours, but he knew in his heart that this military horse could not be rushed, so he could only give the military order a grace period of five hours. For another example, if a battalion's ration is 5,000 quintals per month, he knows that if he really distributes 5,000 quintals, some people in the army will starve, because according to the rules, the military attachés in this battalion always have to go up and down, and it would be good to give 3,000 quintals to the soldiers who can really distribute them. Therefore, the barracks he set for one battalion was 8,000 quintals, 5,000 to ensure that the soldiers would not starve, which would lead to mutiny, and the other 3,000 quintals were to feed certain people.
There are too many examples of this kind, they are simply too numerous to mention, the military attachés under the head, occasionally always have to slack off, they are all veterans, or, they are some noble sons who come to gild, so they always have nothing to fear, as Wang Fangyi, who has experienced a hundred battles, naturally understands their temper, and all he can do is to follow the trend and try his best to master a degree in this.
Therefore, he is often cautious in making any battle plan, obviously a military horse as a backup, should have let them arrive at the battlefield in five hours, but he did not dare to have too many expectations, but could only expect them to arrive in eight hours. Obviously, a military horse should have allowed them to resist the enemy's attack for three days, but he knew that even if he gave a death order, it would be useless, so he only hoped that they could hold out for two days.
And these backbones drawn from the five military camps are different, perhaps...... This is the most different thing between the Shence Army and other military horses in the world, each of them seems to have a deep obedience to military orders, any of your orders, they will complete it to the letter, what is this? This is the legendary swinging arm.
Wang Fangyi's battle, of course, is strategizing, but he never dared to expect to strategize, because he knows in his heart that you want to lay out a bureau, which is extremely delicate on the surface, such as the legendary ambush on all sides, this military horse should be here, that military horse should be there, and the other military horse should be intercepted here, on the surface, it is simply seamless, as long as the thief army enters this trap, then it is a mortal situation?
And in reality? In fact, so many military horses act separately, but the easiest thing is to drop the chain, as long as a military horse drops the chain, it means that there is a loophole in the painstakingly arranged situation, and the result of the loophole may be to be defeated by others.
Because of this, although Wang Fangyi loves to read military books, he also knows that these military books are just the meaning of a group of literati, and they can't be taken seriously, because the actual situation often only makes people laugh.
But......... If there is an arm-wielding envoy like the Divine Army, when you give any death order, he can always carry it out without fear of hardships and dangers? If so...... It means that a famous general like Wang Fangyi can almost be imaginative, and all superb tactics and tactics will be pointed out on the map, through military orders one after another, and finally become a reality.
What a surprise this is for Wang Fangyi.
Although it was only a few months, he fell in love with the five military camps, or rather, he first fell in love with the military attachés up and down the five military camps, and hoped to train such a military horse.
