The new year represents a new atmosphere, and the new year represents a new hope!

The last day of Chongzhen's fifth year, thirty! Nanning Mansion welcomes the New Year with joy.

The soldiers in Li Guo's team were also smiling. Most of the recruits were peasants who could not eat in various places, and although they were trained hard during this time, they were at least well fed, and they were content.

And on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, each person also issued ten big money. Although ten big bucks are nothing, for these poor jingle people, they see hope. These people are not yet full-fledged soldiers, they don't have a salary yet, and these ten big sums are very important to them.

Moreover, in the past few days, at the end of the year, there are more oil stars in the dishes. From the thirtieth day onwards, it is said that there is meat every day, and there is enough to eat! In the evening, the leader came to the barracks with a basin and noodles, saying that he was going to make dumplings at night, which made the recruits even more overjoyed.

On the evening of the thirtieth of each year, Li Guo would inspect the barracks as usual, check the food of the soldiers, and chat with the soldiers about their daily routines and make jokes. Some soldiers will raise some difficulties at home, and Li Guo will also ask Zhao Youbin to verify it and give some help.

When he returned to his residence, except for Liu Tichun, who accompanied him on patrol of the camp, most of the rest of the generals came to Li Guo to eat here.

This year, Li Guo is particularly lively here, because there are many new recruits, nearly 60,000 people. Therefore, except for about 1,000 child soldiers and more than 1,000 slightly disabled veterans who stayed with Li Guo as pro-soldiers, the rest of the more than 5,000 people were sent down to be the leaders.

As long as it is an official of more than 100 households, Li Guo will personally entertain him on the 30th. Thereupon. Many veterans who have just become hundreds of households come to Li Guo for dinner for the first time. So, compared to the past, the number of people who came to eat today was the largest.

Most of these soldiers who followed Li Guo were eating here for the first time in their thirties. The mood was very emotional, because it symbolized a greater significance, and even though they were also descendants before, it now proved that they were all in the core class.

Li Guo picked up the wine bowl and stood on the stool in the center of the banquet, "Brothers, Happy New Year, done!" ”

Everyone had already stood up. Hearing Li Guo say, they raised their necks together and dried up the wine.

"Brothers. Thank you for always following me. Li Guo said, "Everyone may have seen that now our strength is getting stronger and stronger, and we will get better and better!" ”

"As long as the people who follow me Li will live a good life!"

"But we must not be proud. We are now strong on the surface. However, there are still many deficiencies, and we must always be vigilant to ourselves, and we still have many places that need to be corrected. Today is thirty, I won't say more, just two points, first, take your people to train seriously all the time, and second. The next step is to set up a cadre training course, and the cadres are the leaders. The leader knows more than the soldier, understand? ”

"Got it!" Everyone shouted in unison.

At this time, Sun Dengke shouted below, "Long live the tiger master!" ”

"Long live the Tiger Master!"

"Long live the Tiger Master!"

Song Yingxing, who had just defected to Li, took a sip of wine and squirted out.

Nie Xin on the side could see it clearly, and said with a smile, "Ying Xing, are you in a hurry to drink?" ”

Song Yingxing nodded again and again, thinking, no wonder the court and the emperor are jealous of Li Guo, this is shouting long live, what is the difference between it and rebellion.

Nie Xin smiled and said, "Ying Xing, you have come for a short time, you really don't know the benefits of our Tiger Master, don't be surprised first, don't care, you just do your thing, I believe that in the future, you will also be willing to title Long live the Tiger Master." ”

Song Yingxing just nodded incessantly.

After the feast, most of the people dispersed.

Liu Tichun, Nie Xin, Li Twelve, Zhao Youbin, Gu Ying, Luo Hu, Wang Si and other important generals stayed behind and entered Li Guo's house, where they would listen to Li Guo arrange the next step of the next year's work every year.

Li Guo has been thinking about what to do next, and he is now confident.

He talked to the crowd about his thoughts.

To tell the truth, from the northwest to the southwest, the shape has taken a sharp turn and developed so rapidly that it is still unimaginable to all people. So, everyone is in a good mood. Everyone's idea is that when the army is trained, they will start to go north and sweep the Central Plains!

But Li Guo's current idea is not like this, his first thought is to increase efforts to reassure the people, divide the land, and let the cultivators have their land. In the troubled times, what the people need most is to be able to farm safely and have food to eat, which is the first major thing. To be realistic, without the support of the people, no regime will last. It's up to Li Qiang to do this.

Second, publicity. Li Guo has always paid the most attention to publicity, and reputation and fame are actually very important. It is very important to let more people know the benefits of Li Guo and come to Li Guo. Sun Dengke is a good hand at propaganda, or he will do it.

Third, to make money, whether it is Li Guo's reassurance, propaganda, science and technology, or military training, we all need to make money. Money is not everything, but no money is everything. There is a short trade route outside the gate, and Liang Shiyin is there. But it's not enough, it's not enough. What Li Guo wants to set up is a trading company that connects the east, west, north and south, and wants to do business throughout the country. Only with sufficient money can Li Guo develop stronger and faster.

Therefore, Li Guo wanted to transfer Qian Duoduo to Nanjing and be responsible for the operation of the entire business.

Tao Shicheng, who has been outside the Guan, will be sent to Tianjin to be responsible for the business connecting Zhangjiakou and Tianjin. Zhang Xin will be sent to Chengdu.

Fourth, technology. Although it is still a bit early to talk about technology, I believe that since I have an idea, I believe that it will be realized soon. Song Yingxing has to do this. Li Guo gave Song Yingxing a big official, the Ministry of Industry.

This official name is very strange, in fact, the Ministry of Industry is one of the six departments of the Ming Dynasty. And Li Guo named Song Yingxing as the Ministry of Industry, which means very simply, if I Li can live in the world, you Song Yingxing is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Song Yingxing had nowhere to take refuge in the first place, and he was extremely bored with the society at that time, and now he heard that Li Guo had named him the Ministry of Industry, and he understood Li Guo's thoughts.

Song Yingxing gritted his teeth and it!

Fifth, it is the water division. It has always been Li Guo's wish to put the sailor on the agenda alone. Li Guo knew that the humiliation suffered by his motherland in modern times was naturally the result of feudal decay. Also because there is no strong navy. So, the construction of naval divisions should be fast.

The person from the Cao Gang, now renamed Hai Yong, was naturally sent to the water division, of course, this person came for a short time, and Li Guo would send Ma Shiyao to the water division to manage it with full authority.

Sixth, that is, the construction of the army, China's army was once rated as the first in the world by the world, Li Guo certainly cannot give the Chinese face. A strong army is always paramount at this time.

In addition, Li Guo will reorganize the newly recruited children into child soldiers, and Li Guo will educate them, make them loyal to themselves, and let them become the backbone of the next echelon.

Education should also be grasped at all times, whether it is a child soldier or other people, education must be universalized. The first is to improve the morale of the military and the people, and the second is to brainwash.

This is all Li Guo's thoughts, of course, but some words can't be said as they are. (To be continued......)
