Lichun Pavilion is located in the northeast of Guazhou Wharf, is a hexagonal pavilion, is the best place in the whole Guazhou County. At this time, the lights in the pavilion are like day, the voices of people are boiling, and the sound of fisting, silk and bamboo, singing, and laughter can be heard in the distance outside the pavilion.

This Guazhou is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, across the river from Zhenjiang Mansion, and only more than 20 miles from Yangzhou City, which is the focus of merchants from all over the world. The Battle of the Two Huai has now largely ended, although Yidu Li Pu had recently raised troops to occupy two cities on the north bank of the Huaishui that had originally belonged to the Great Song Dynasty. However, the war with Yidu does not seem to have affected the trade between the north and the south.

After the Beiyu retreated, Guazhou seemed to have become a place where thousands of merchants gathered overnight, and even Lichun Pavilion, which had been cold for more than half a year, suddenly became prosperous. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Dexing and the new boss of Lichun Pavilion were friends, he would not have wanted to book a private room in Lichun Pavilion without a few days in advance.

In the middle of the hall on the top floor of Lichun Pavilion, there is a huge square table, on which there are gold bottles of fine wine, jade plates and delicacies, scattered and mixed.

In Chen Dexing's view, the catering of the Great Song Dynasty has reached a point where it is no less than that of later generations, delicacies from the mountains and seas, frying, stewing and stir-frying, except for the lack of chili peppers, other dishes that later generations have can basically find similar things in the Great Song Dynasty. And...... All of them are of good quality and quantity, and there is no adulteration to make them bad.

The integrity of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be far better than that era hundreds of years later!

A large table has been filled with all kinds of delicacies, and there is a stove burning in the house, although it is winter, it is as warm as spring and summer.

The seats were headed by Chen Dexing, and the generals of the Thunderbolt Navy such as Lu Shihu, Lu Rover, Gao Da, Huang Zhishen, Ren Yijiang, Qi Ta, and Wang Wei sat in turn. And behind Chen Dexing, there is also a woman with glamorous makeup waiting, this woman is the newly baked boss Yang Po'er here. She is really capable of tossing, and now she is not the ** of Mingyu Pavilion, but the boss of this Lichun Pavilion.

By the way, this Lichun Pavilion is not private property, but official property - there is no official in the Song Dynasty who does not compete with the people for profit, and wherever it is beneficial, the government will have to intervene! The reason for this is that Chen Dexing's view is that the gentry of the Song Dynasty was not in power. Although the Song Dynasty had the imperial examination, it did not treat scholars very preferentially, and there was no fame such as showing talent and lifting people, except for a few eunuch families, the rest were small households, so naturally there was no power to prevent the court from competing for profits. This is the reason why the Song Dynasty's fiscal revenues far exceeded those of the Ming and Qing dynasties (excluding the late Qing Dynasty, which was blasted open by foreign powers).

However, the competition between the government and the people did not make the commercial activities of the Song Dynasty sluggish, but because the imperial court could obtain huge benefits from prosperous commerce, it encouraged and promoted commerce more, making commerce unprecedentedly prosperous. And behind this unprecedented prosperity, needless to say, there is naturally corruption......

I don't know whose path Yang Po'er took, anyway, the best restaurant here in Guazhou is now contracted by her - most of the operating industries of the Song Dynasty government are contracted to private individuals.

Today's seat, on the one hand, is to celebrate Chen Dexing's official promotion, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a late Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone here, including Yang Po'er, has been on the floor in the past few months, so they are all beaming.

When everyone arrived, Chen Dexing said: "Promotion and wealth have always been connected together, last year we were all promoted, and now there is a good thing to make a fortune, I plan to do some business of north and south goods, just use the ship of the navy to transport goods, everyone here is my brother, everyone has a share!" ”

Everyone applauded, Yang Po'er's beautiful eyes flowed, and she glanced at Chen Dexing, and there was a little more appreciation in her eyes. Although Chen Dexing is young, he knows how to unite people's hearts. Live and die together on the battlefield, promote and make a fortune together outside the battlefield, what is the national righteousness, and what is the killing of gods. This method is a little more clever than Yidu Xianggong, no wonder a group can be gathered in such a short time.

Chen Dexing raised his right hand, and the pavilion suddenly fell silent. Chen Dexing pressed the table, stood up, and said solemnly: "There is another matter, which is about the future of our Thunderbolt Water Army. What are the virtues of these two Huai armies, as well as our armies of the Great Song Dynasty, you must have heard of them. At the beginning of the rise, everything was done with all their hearts, and the generals did their best, so they became elite soldiers. After being rich and happy, the fighting spirit is exhausted, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they all rely on heavy rewards to raise some morale. We, the Thunderbolt Army, cannot be such an army! Because the responsibility on us is heavy, and it is not comparable to ordinary armies!

Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to work together with Dexing to drive away the Tartars and save China? ”

"Yes!"

Chen Dexing nodded heavily, and arched his hand and said: "The brothers all said they were willing, so I, Chen Dexing, am not talented, so let's talk about the special rules of our Thunderbolt Army." ”

Everyone widened their eyes and stared directly at Chen Dexing, except for Yang Po'er. Her pair of charming eyes were slowly sweeping over everyone's faces at this time - the brothers who came out of Qionghualou were all superstitious, and in just a few months, Chen Dexing had established an unshakable prestige among them. Huang Zhishen, Ren Daoshi, and Kong Xiucai were convinced. But Lu Shihu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking?

Chen Dexing then said: "What are the special rules of our Thunderbolt Army? This is it! He pointed to his heart, "This place has to change, become different from ordinary people!" ”

“…… The soldiers of the Perak Navy must know that they are Han Chinese, Han Chinese, the darling of heaven and earth, and the most noble race in the world! Believe that the Tartars are slaves of demons, the most despicable and murderous human race in heaven and earth! You must believe that the Tartars are trying to destroy our race, destroy our country, and slaughter all the Han people in the world, and the only way for the Han people to survive is to fight to the death! Believe that by dying to defend the Han race, your soul can go to heaven and enjoy bliss forever! It is necessary to believe that the Han people who surrender on their knees in front of the Tartars will forever fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and will never be able to transcend their lives! ”

This is the legendary brainwashing, the legendary spiritual atomic bomb!

Chen Dexing, who was a GCD person in his previous life, certainly knew the power of the spiritual atomic bomb!

Chen Dexing's eyes swept over everyone's bodies, and he suddenly raised his voice and said: "Only if the officers and soldiers of my Thunderbolt Navy believe this, will they become strong, become invincible, and become the most formidable army in the world!" ”

An army brainwashed by fanatical nationalist ideas, in the 13th century, was certainly invincible, if not invincible.

"And if you want my Thunderbolt soldiers to believe it, you here must believe it first!" Chen Dexing raised his chin high, and his face was full of divine and resolute expression, "Brothers, do you believe it?" ”

"We believe it!" The brothers of Qionghualou all shouted, and several of the young ones were even more crazy - they were all poor children in Huaishang, and it was only because of Chen Dexing that they had today's wealth, how could they not believe it?

"Good!" Chen Dexing nodded heavily, "Since I believe it, then I will announce two more things, first, the Perak Navy Army will officially enroll students at the Camp Martial Arts School, and the examination will be held openly, and young people who are a little literate and ink will be selected from the various departments under its jurisdiction to participate, and young people other than the Perak Navy Army can also apply for the examination."

Second, the Perak Navy will set up a righteous instructor corps from tomorrow, and I will personally serve as the chief instructor of the instructor corps, and all troops, generals, units, and teams under the Perak Navy will have the post of instructor to be responsible for preaching national righteousness! The instructors will be students from the military academy in the camp. ”
